Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

How can I OPEN files I just downloaded? They're on the DOWNLOADS screen of Firefox but I can't open them even after double-clicking? And they're not on the FOLDERS as well. Even the right-click is not working ... the "open containing folder" does not work.

Quick update, the duplicate of the comic-con episode downloaded succesfully, and so has the first episode of Supernatural season 8. Blue dots appear to their left in the library.
All the Vampire Diaries episodes (except the bonus comic-con double) have vanished, but I paid for them !
They're not anywhere on my harddrive either.
Which is new by the way, this is a new MacbookPro, literally set it up today.
So it would seem this is a case of purchased and pseudo-downloaded episodes that ended up beinge gobbled up by some iTunes black hole, leaving me with no money, and no episodes.
Need help, confirmed.

My word perfect documents have been changed to .doc but I can't open them in pages. ugh!

my word perfect documents have been changed to .doc but I can't open them in pages. ugh!
they are wpd files from around 2001-2003 that my Dad emailed me and on a PC was easy to simply relabel as .doc but despite this I cannot open in pages or convert to pages.
Please can you help me?
cheers!

In fairness to Pages, only apps that can handle Word Perfect docs of that vintage can open them, either. W
As Viking said, changing the extension does nothing to the file structure & metadata of the document. At one time Mac people didn't bother with the extensions, because they were simply a visible indicator of the app that made them, and the Mac would get that information from the file itself.
Since you changed the extensions, some Windows apps may still use those extensions to tell them the file source. When they try to open a .wpd file as if it were a .doc file, they will get very confused.
You can try to open the files by using the Menu> Open command, with the setting of "all files." IF and only if the app can handle .wpd files, then maybe it will open it & ignore the extension.

I can see the pictures in Events in iPhoto, but I can't open them. When I right click on an Event it just says Edit, but won't open all the pictures in Events. It used to open, but something is wrong. I would appreciate any assistance. Thank you.

Hi Terence,
I got your note and was able to complete the first part, but when I came to Finder, Go To Folder and I typed in both /var/db/receipts/ and /private/var/db/receipts all I get is NOT FOUND message. I tried several times, but no luck.
Please advise.
Thank you.

HT201250 Backups in time machine visible but I can not open them.

My time machine works theoretically. It backs up and I can see the data there. But it is showen in a light blue/grey colour and I can not open them.

In the Finder, right-click or control-click the folder icon and select Show View Options from the contextual menu. In the dialog that opens, select None from the Arrange by menu. Close the dialog and try again.

Every now and then when I log in to hotmail the program will open, all my e-mails are there but I can't open any of them. At the same time everything opens just fine on Chrome. Eventually the problem on Mozilla fixes itself. Suggestions?

Occasionally hotmail will open just fine but I cannot access any of my listed e-mails or files. At the same time everything works just fine in Chrome. Eventually the problem on Mozilla sorts itself out somehow and I can then open e-mail through that browser again. I don't make any changes on my system to correct the problem.

Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

Hi,
In Messages or iChat go to the App Menu > Preferences > Accounts
On the left is the list of Accounts that are set up.
Everyone gets Bonjour (Although by default it is not Active).
Highlight the Bonjour Account
On the right there is a Box that says "Enable this Account" which probably has a tick in it.
Select it to remove the tick.
This will turn Off the Bonjour Account.
The List may also contain any @me.com name you have set up.
This can be used in Messages as the ID for iMessages
It is also a Valid AIM screen Name.
It would helps if we knew which version of iChat and the OS you are using as there are some changes that occur
An iCloud @me.com name will not work in iChat 5 or earlier due to the checks Apple has in iChat 6 (and Messages) which iChat 5 does not do.
To also work as a Valid Screen Name the password for your @Me.com name has to be 16 characters or less (AIM server limit)

Please help me! I imported my pics to iphoto but I can't open them now. I can't see them on full Screen/edit them like before. All I get is a exclamation mark when I double click on them. I don't have copies, can someone please help me?

I imported all my pics to Iphoto and I can't open/edit them now. When I double click on them, I only get an exclamation mark. Please help me I don't have copies. I tried burning them to a cd but it didn't work. Can someone please help me?

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

My new computer has backed up Firefox bookmark files from my old computer on the new computer's desktop, but I can't open them ; also, how do I get this desktop file into firefox's bookmark list?

My old Vista computer died, but I had backup of my old Firefox .json bookmark files and installed this folder on my new window's 7 computer's desktop. But I can't seem to open these files (windows cant find a program to open them with, and I don't seem to have .json files in my file association list) or import them into the new computer's Firefox bookmarks list.

That's great, matthungo, I'm glad it worked and you've got your Bookmarks back. Wishing you and yours a wonderful and blessed Holiday season as well!

HELP!!!i can download files from the internet but i can not open them,help!

I am running mac os x 10.5 i can download files from the internet but adobe reader 9 keeps telling me they can not decode them,( Adobe Reader could not open 'dap93.exe' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged) (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded). help!
Message was edited by: kjsk8n

Adobe Reader does not open .EXE files, it opens .PDF files. If you were on Windows I would tell you to fix the file association, but I have no idea how to do that on a Mac.

My inbox says undefined messages in inbox but I can't open them. I can open them normally in int.explorer.This is only since upgrading to firefox 4.

I used to get a message showing how many mails were in my inbox but now get a message saying I have undefined mails in my inbox. Clicking the open mail button now won't work. This is the same for all three email addresses on my Tiscali account.

MAIL is in sync with GMAIL (forgot to add this info).

My in-box shows 6 unread messages but I can't open them. They must be current. How do I open them?

From 13.30 on 20/8/14 until 0930 on 21/08/14 I received 6 messages according to the " in box"
which I cannot download. I know at least 2 are not spam. I have received emails satisfactorily since

How big are those messages? Perhaps they are taking too long to download. If you have access to a web interface to those same messages, you may be able to preview/delete them or deal with them otherwise.
You can add the size column by clickling on [http://i.imgur.com/s12dmeH.png the icon at the end of the columns heading, at the right].

I can receive e-mails, however, I can't open them. I tried turning wi-fi off and on but that did not work. Does anyone have a similar problem? How do I fix this?

I can receive e-mails but I can't open them. I tried turning the wi-fi on and off but that did not help. Has anyone had a similar problem?

Try to reset your iPad, pressed the On/Off button and the Homebutton at the same time till you see the Apple logo in the screen.

Temporary error 14 - Receive and send email but can't open them

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Welcome the the forum. Are you using Yahoo/VZ mail or standard Verizon webmail https://mail.verizon.com/webmail/driver?nimlet=showmessages&view=emails
In either case please try a different browser such as firebox in place of Internet explorer (or vice versa)

If none of this applies or helps please let us know what Operating system you are running as well as the browser and the version number.
