Non-critical bug: "My Documents" on File Open incorrect if remapped

I don't have MetaLink access to log this, so maybe you can. If you have remapped your "My Documents" say to a network drive, when you do FILE > OPEN and click the My Documents icon, it shows the contents of the My Documents under the user in the C: drive, not the remapped network drive.

  • Pages only opens document through File Open

    Im having a problem where .doc files I have downloaded do not open in Pages when I double click them. I see the animation and the application switches to Pages but then no window appears.
    However, if I am in Pages and click File > Open > thefile.doc, it opens without issues.
    I have it set to Pages as the default application. Documents just will not appear when I double click on them..
    Any ideas?

    It sounds like your Launch Services database is corrupt. This happens more often than you would expect. I would use a tool such as OnyX to delete the caches & rebuild the database.

  • In documents I can open pdf files but none of the others

    When I go to documents I can open pdf files but nothing else. Same on downloads. I have lots of info I've downloaded over time and I often use it. Can I just go back and use internet explorer for that and if so how?

    Opening in the side bar is the default for bookmarks that are created via a link or button on a website.<br />
    You can check the Properties of a bookmark via the right-click context menu in the side bar (Ctrl+B; Cmd+B on Mac).<br />
    In the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks) you can click the More button in the Details pane at the bottom right.<br />

  • TWO CRITICAL BUGS: 1) File, "Save Page As" and 2) right-click the picture and select "Save Image As", both do not work at all in Firefox 27, 28, and 29!

    Note: capitals are used only to highlight important words.
    PLEASE, TAKE THESE COMMENTS ON TWO CRITICAL BUGS VERY SERIOUSLY BECAUSE THE BUGS DESCRIBED BELOW ARE SO CRITICAL THAT I CANNOT USE THE LATEST VERSION OF FIREFOX UNLESS THEY DO NOT APPEAR IN THE LATEST VERSION AND THEREFORE I AM FORCED TO REVERT BACK TO FIREFOX 26.
    I have Windows 7 64-bit and Firefox 26. I could not install Firefox 27, 28, and 29 due to the persistent presence of the two critical bugs described below. I have 8 GB of RAM and an Intel quad-core processor and a lot of hard disk space available.
    I installed Firefox 27 and then Firefox 28 a while back and these two bugs described below were still present and now I have just checked again with Firefox 29 by installing it and yet again, these two bugs described below are present!! UNBELIEVABLE THAT THESE TWO CRITICAL BUGS ARE STILL PRESENT IN FIREFOX 29 WHEN I CLEARLY INFORMED YOU ABOUT THEM IN THE HELP, SUBMIT LINK OF FIREFOX!!
    I am forced to revert to Firefox 26!
    First, I use Windows 7 64-bit and I always use Firefox with at least 120 tabs opened. BUT I have 8 GB of RAM, an Intel core i7 quad-core processor and more than 1 TB of hard disk space. Consequently, I do not understand why I would have these two critical bugs.
    With Firefox 26, I also have at least 120 tabs opened when I start Firefox and I do not have the two critical bugs described below, therefore I do not believe that the number of tabs is the reason of the two critical bugs that are present in Firefox 27, 28, and 29.
    ---FIRST CRITICAL BUG:
    When I open ANY web page and do File, "Save Page As", the window that is supposed to open to locate the folder where I want to save this web page does NOT open at all, even if I wait a long time to see if it opens.
    Same problem happened with Firefox 27, 28, and now 29!! When I reverted back to Firefox 26, this problem did NOT happen anymore!
    ---SECOND CRITICAL BUG:
    When I use Google Images, for instance entering model in the search field of Google Images and then pressing enter.
    Then I select any picture, open to a new tab this selected picture, then open a new tab by selecting the option View for this picture. Then right-click the picture and select "Save Image As".
    Again, the window that is supposed to open to locate the folder where I want to save this picture does NOT open at all, even if I wait a long time to see if it opens.
    Same problem happened with Firefox 27, 28, and now 29!! When I reverted back to Firefox 26, this problem did NOT happen anymore!
    ---THESE TWO CRITICAL BUGS DO NOT APPEAR WHEN I USE INTERNET EXPLORER 11.
    I have no idea if you will be able to reproduce these two critical BUGS but I can assure you that they are not present when I use Firefox 26 and they are present when I use Firefox 27, 28, and 29. More, be aware that I have at least 100 tabs opened but I also have this same number of tabs opened in Firefox 26 and yet I do not experience these two critical bugs when I have Firefox 26!
    Once again, these two bugs touch at two vital, critical very basic functions of Firefox and therefore I will NOT be able to use any version above 26 if these two bugs are still present, as they are present in Firefox 27, 28, and now 29!!!
    Please, make it a priority to solve these two critical bugs. Thanks.
    I did read a post related to the same issues “Firefox stops responding when trying to "save page" or "save image" | Firefox Support Forum | Mozilla Support” at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/991630?esab=a&as=aaq
    I am still reading it again to try to figure out exactly what the person did to make his problems be solved, as the post is not clear at all on what solved the problems!
    In any case, all the suggestions proposed in this post do not work and I surely cannot do a system restore when it is obvious that the two bugs do not appear in Internet Explorer.

    First, I sent an email to the author of PhotoME to inform him of the serious issues his addon caused with Firefox latest versions.
    Now, for those of you who do not have the PhotoME addon and yet experience the same problem that I had and that I described above, I suggest the following strategy.
    As PhotoME did cause these problems with Firefox latest versions, I am pretty covinved other addons probably might cause these problems too. Therefore, adopt the following method.
    Test one addon at a time to see if this particular addon is behind your Firefox issues like the ones I had.
    So, disable one addon only at a time. Then close your Firefox and restart it from scratch and see if you still have your Firefox problems. You must restart the Firefox browser from scratch. If you still have these Firefox problems, re-enable the disabled addon, restart your Firefox (again!) and repeat the same method for every single addon that you have.
    Try to be selective by choosing first addons that are more likely to cause your Firefox problems such as not very well-known or not very popular addons (like it was the case for the PhotoME addon).
    If this method works or if it does not work, report it on this web page so that others can be helped with your comments.
    I hope this method will help you because I was really upset that I had these Firefox problems and I first thought it was the fault of Firefox, only to discover later that this PhotoME addon was the culprit and had caused me such upset.

  • Office documents slow to open when on non-domain LAN.

    Our notebooks are all connected to our domain. When you open an MS Office document (Word, Excel, etc..), while in our domain, they open fast. They open fine on network shares and on the desktop.
    When you are out of our domain, and try to open documents on your desktop, they open fast.
    When you are out of our domain and connect to a wireless network (at home for instance) and try to open documents from your desktop, it is very slow.
    When you connect to our domain from that wireless using VPN, the documents on your desktop open fast again.
    It is just slow when you are out of the domain (no VPN connection) and on a network.

    I agree that the problem is due to non existent printers and perhaps network file shares. Our users have 5 network shares mounted and at least 3 networked printes connected.
    The printers show up as offline when outside of the domain and the shares show up as disconnected. When our notebook users are outside of the office and not connected to a network, documents open fast. The slowdown comes when our users are on a non-domain
    network and when they are not VPN'd into our domain. For some reason MS Word and Excell checks for access to every printer and maybe file share when a network connection is present.
    One of the things that we’ve done in the past is to create a little batch script that disconnects the networked drives for everyone. We could add the disconnection of printers
    too, but that’s going to be too cumbersome for most of our users, because they will have to disconnect the drives and printers when they are out of the domain and not VPN’d in. Connect drives and printers when they are out of the domain and VPn’s in. Connect
    printers when they are back in the office (drives are automatically connected via login script).
    Now as for your suggestions.
    #2 - Setting the last printer used for each application to a local one means that they will have to remember to do that whenever they take documents outside of the office. That’s
    not good. I’ll get a lot of complaints if they have to do this for Office apps only. They don’t need to do this for any other application. They just drop those files on their desktop and they’ll open regardless of the network or printer status. I'll try setting
    the default printer to the XPS Document writer or another local printer and see it that helps.
    #3 – Removing all the prefetch files from c:\windows\prefetch folder is not an option. This folder can be accessed only by administrators. My users are not administrators, so
    that is not an option.
    Ideally, what I would like to do is to stop MS Office apps from checking network access when it opens. It seems to be able to do that when there is no network connection. I think
    it should only check network access when there is a link to a network location inside the document.

  • Not able to copying files/folders from one Document Library to another Document Library using Open with Browser functionality

    Hi All, 
    We have SharePoint Production server 2013 where users are complaining that they are not able to copy or move files from one document library to another document library using “Open with Explorer” functionality.
    We tried to activate publishing features on production server but it did not work. We users reported following errors:  
    Copying files from one document library to another document library:
    Tried to map the document libraries and still not get the error to copy files: 
    In our UAT environment we are able to copy and move folders from using “Open with Explorer” though.
    We have tried to simulate in the UAT environment but could not reproduce the production environment.  
    Any pointers about this issue would be highly appertained.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi John and all,
    One the newly created web applications that we created few days back and navigated to document library, clicked on “Open with Explorer”, we get this error.
    We're having a problem opening this location in file explorer. Add this website to your trusted and try again.
    We added to the trusted site in Internet Explorer for this web application, cleared the cache and open the site with same document library but still get the same above error.
    However, another existing web application (In same the Farm) that we are troubleshooting at the moment, we are able click on “Open with Explorer”,  login in credentials opens and we entered the details we are able to open the document
    library and tried to follow these steps:
    From Windows Explorer (using with Open with Explorer), tried to copy or move a files to
    source document library.
    From Windows Explorer moved this file to another destination document library and we got this error.
    What we have to achieve is users should be able to copy files and folders using
    Open with Explorer functionality. We don’t know why Open with Explorer
    functionality not work working for our environment.  
    Are we doing something wrong? 
    We have referred to following websites.
    we hope concepts of copying / Moving files are similar as SharePoint 2010. Our production environment is SharePoint 2013.

  • Another "there was an error opening this document. this file cannot be found"-question

    Hello people, as the title suggests, i have another question regarding the "there was an error opening this document. this file cannot be found" error. I have searched on Google and on these forums but i havent found an answer to my particular case (sorry if i overlooked it).
    I work at a supportdesk for a company that uses Windows XP with Adobe Reader version 8.1.3.
    Users are getting this error when they access a PDF file placed on a (mapped) networkdrive. Contrary to some other cases i have found on this forum, spaces are handled without a problem. But a comma in the name of one of the folders that contain the PDF file are what causes this error.
    i.e.:
    Opening the following path results in the error:
    L:\X, Y & Z\adobe.pdf
    Removing the comma so the path becomes:
    L:\X Y & Z\adobe.pdf
    works just fine.
    So far our workaround has always been to simply remove the comma and move on, but I've been wondering why this comma is such a problem for Adobe Reader. As far as i know Adobe Reader is the only program we use that has this issue, M$ Word works just fine with it to name an example.
    To sum my questions up:
    - Why is comma (,) a problem for Adobe Reader?
    - Have i missed any patches/new versions where this issue has been addressed?
    - What is Adobe's stance on this, and are there any plans to "fix" this?

    Ok, nevermind, we just found the problem
    It's not Adobe Reader that is causing this, but another program the company uses to manage/distribute/authorise programs that users are allowed to access (Scense). I had never even considered another problem could have caused this for Reader.

  • Message'there was an error opening this document.The file cannot be found'

    Using xp home and when I click to download the pdf file, it will give 3 options been 'open'/'save'/?. When I choose the 'open' option, it will give me the above message "there was an error opening this document.The file cannot be found"
    owever if I choose to "save" and I will be able to open the file and read it. In this pc its using Adobe Reader 8.1.2 with a patch. It was working fine prior to this sudden occurance of the error.
    Strangely I have another pc with the same specification, I was able to choose "open" and be able to read the file. Can anyone help to resolve the issue by using the "open' option instead of "save, then open". Greateful for your prompt response.

    Fyi, in addition to my earlier post, the other pc is using Adobe 8.1.1 and no other patch. I was trying to find 8.1.1 version but could not find a trust worthy site to load from. Do you think the error caused by using the 8.1.2 version? Thanks

    Hi ...
    Checked to see how much free space there is on the startup disk lately?
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.
    Freeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac GuidesFreeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac Guides
    If disk space is not the issue, booting in Safe Mode deletes system caches that may help.
    A Safe Mode boot takes longer then a normal boot so be patient.
    Once you see the Desktop, click the Apple menu icon top left corner of the screen.
    From the drop down menu click Restart.
    See if that makes a difference ...

  • Office 2013 applications cannot be made to show the "Documents" folder when opening and saving files

    (Windows Server 2012R2 and Windows 8.1 PRO)
    We are redirecting the user's "Documents" folder to the network (using Folder Redirection). The OS hides this fact however, and most applications simply see the "Documents" folder when opening or saving files, including Office 2003.
    Office 2013 however displays the actual path, which in this case is:
    \\sever1\redirect$\username\documents
    Even if you forcibly set the "Default local file location:"  in the Options Save area to the 'Documents' folder in, say, Word, Word immediately converts the local path to the network path.
    Is there anyway to get Office 2013 to follow the virtual path? All of other apps follow it and expose the users only to "Documents".
    Thank you so much.
    Dana

    There's nothing in my FAQ concerning screen savers, so I'm unsure why you decided to take that approach. From your description, it looks like you only tried a few of the suggestions before throwing in the towel. That's fine, it's your call.
    I don't have the problems you described with 10.4.7. Usually when folks have problems after an update, these are caused by either installing an update on an already-corrutped system or they've installed third-party applications or hardware that have been rendered incompatible by the update.
    Before installing software updates, you may wish to consider the advice in my "Installing Software Updates" FAQ. Taking the steps therein before installing an update often helps avert problems and gives you a fallback position in case trouble arises.
    Good luck!

  • On file open: "This document contains JavaScript code for a widget that no longer exists."

    I had an existing, functional datepicker in a web page.
    Recently I downloaded the UI Datepicker in the Widget Browser and installed it in DW CS5. Now every time I load the file that calls the datepicker that I added myself, a warning opens with the following text:
    This document contains JavaScript code for a widget that no longer exists. If you don't remove the code, the browser might display JavaScript errors when loading the page. Would you like Dreamweaver to find all instances of this code for you?
    Widget: $("#reservDateBegin").datepicker();
    Widget: $("#reservDateEnd").datepicker();
    Clicking "Yes" opens the file and shows the search box at the bottom of the window with [current document] in File and $("#reservDateEnd").datepicker(); in Matched Text. Clicking "No" just opens the file.
    The error is wrong, since installing the widget is what caused the error in the first place!
    How can I get DW to stop showing this message?
    Thanks for any help.

    I do understand you're trying to be helpful. I was just hoping providing the relevant code snippets would be sufficient so I didn't have to take the time to provide a "cleaned" version of the files and upload those to a public-safe location.
    Zabeth69 wrote: If you don't understand what 'code at the bottom of the page' means, you have not used one of those systems. I don't know what causes the error code to come up (besides removing a Spry widget, I mean). So if it doesn't apply to you, ignore it.
    This is exactly my point: I haven't used any of the DW "systems". I've always manually coded in DW, so I can't have removed a Spry widget in the first place. It wasn't until I installed the Widget using the Widget Browser that I started getting the error (I don't mean adding the datepicker widget to the code using the DW Insert menu - I mean installing the Widget into DW itself). Ignoring such an erroneous/incorrect error seems kind of silly, since every time I open the file I get the error message.
    Anyway, as requested, the following are links to the contactUsCleaned.php page, and the php included headerCleaned.php file. Since these use php includes to complete the rendered HTML, they won't look right in the browser, but as you know viewing the source will show the relevant html, javascript, and jquery code. I didn't see any way to upload the files in this forum, which, due to the php code, would be preferable to see exactly what my code looks like...
    http://www.eventidewebdesign.com/public/contactUsCleaned.php
    http://www.eventidewebdesign.com/public/headerCleaned.php
    The footer.php file the contactUs page includes is simply a set of HTML links to the pages on the site, copyright info, and the Google Analytics script. There is no other code in the footer.php file.

  • Batch combine files into one illustrator document - how to open target document?

    I am making a script which will:
    1) Open a folder of Illustrator files
    2) Open each file in the folder (these files are called the source files)
    3) Select all the contents of the source file
    4) Copy the contents of the source file
    5) Paste these contents into a target file as a new layer
    6) Ensure the new layer has the same name as the old source file
    However, I don't know how to tell Illustrator where my target file is. How can I do this?
    Also, when I paste, how can I turn off paste rembers layers. (So the layers get pasted into the new layer that has the same name as the old document).
    Here is my code:
    // JavaScript Document
    //Set up vairaibles
    var destDoc, sourceDoc, sourceFolder;
    // Select the source folder.
    sourceFolder = Folder.selectDialog('Select the folder with Illustrator files that you want to mere into one', '~');
    // If a valid folder is selected
    if (sourceFolder != null) {
              files = new Array();
              // Get all files matching the pattern
              files = sourceFolder.getFiles();
              if (files.length > 0) {
                        // Get the destination to save the files
                        destDoc = document.selectDialog('Select the final saved document', '~');
                        for (i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
                                  sourceDoc = app.open(files[i]); // returns the document object
                                  var myLayers = sourceDoc.layers; // All layers in Active Document
                                  //Go through all layers of source document and copy artwork
                                  for (i = 0; i < myLayers.length; i++) {
                                            myLayers[i].hasSelectedArtwork = true;
                                  with(sourceDoc) {
                                            var count = pageItems.length;
                                            for (var i = 0; i < count; i++) {
                                                      pageItems[i].selected = true;
                                            redraw();
                                            copy();
                                            for (var i = 0; i < count; i++) {
                                                      pageItems[i].selected = false;
                                  //Create a new title variable that has the title of the source document
                                  var title = sourceDoc.name;
                                  var title = title.substring(0, title.length - 4); //(remove extension from name)
                                  //Close the Source Document
                                  sourceDoc.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
                                  //Open the Destination Document and create a new layer in it that is named after the title variation
                                  var newLayer = destDoc.layers.add();
                                  newLayer.name = title;
                                  //Paste into this new layer
                                  destDoc = app.paste();
              else {
                        alert('No matching files found');
    Thanks in advance for any help   
    Edit: Also, when pasting, how can I paste in place instead of just pasting.

    I have been studying this script. It is similar to what I need except it places the source files (Instead of copying & pasting them)
    http://kelsocartography.com/blog/?p=204
    I have adapted the script to my needs and it works perfectly, except it has the same problem as before: It pastes the first source file, but then it endlessly starts pasting the second source file (in a loop) and so I have to force quit.
    So my new question is, when looping through files how can you get illustrator to move on the next one?
    The original kelsocartography had this line:
    thisPlacedItem = newLayer.placedItems.add()
    thisPlacedItem.file = imageList[i];
    I belive this line is what makes Illustrator move onto the next file, but I am not sure how to adapt it to my code.
    Here is my code so far:
    function getFolder() {
              return Folder.selectDialog('Please select the folder to be imported:', Folder('~'));
    function importFolderAsLayers(selectedFolder) {
              // if a folder was selected continue with action, otherwise quit
              var myDocument;
              if (selectedFolder) {
                        myDocument = app.documents.add();
                        var firstImageLayer = true;
                        var newLayer;
                        var thisPlacedItem;
                        // create document list from files in selected folder
                        var documentList = selectedFolder.getFiles();
                        for (var i = 0; i < documentList.length; i++) {
                                  // open each document in file list
                                  if (documentList[i] instanceof File) {
                                            // get the file name
                                            var fName = documentList[i].name.toLowerCase();
                                            var sourceDoc = app.open(documentList[i]); // returns the document object
                                            var myLayers = sourceDoc.layers; // Select All layers in Active Document
                                            //Go through all layers of source document and copy artwork
                                            for (i = 0; i < myLayers.length; i++) {
                                                      myLayers[i].hasSelectedArtwork = true;
                                            with(sourceDoc) {
                                                      var count = pageItems.length;
                                                      for (var i = 0; i < count; i++) {
                                                                pageItems[i].selected = true;
                                                      redraw();
                                                      copy();

                                            //Create a new title variable that has the title of the source document

    I get the same message when I try to open a pdf attachment in my free AOL e-mail account. This problem just started today for some unknown reason. I have Adobe Reader 9 and never had a problem before. If I forward e-mails with a pdf attachment to my Road Runner account, I can open it with no problem. I can't seem to find any answers to this problem. Frustrating! HELP!!!

  • "...not a valid Photoshop document" error when opening Mac cc file on PC

    I get a "Could not complete your request because it is not a valid Photoshop document." error message whenever I try to open up a PSD file created on a Mac using Photoshop CC on my PC using CC. Other people have been able to open the file from the same location, so the files aren't corrupted. Anyone know how to fix this?

    I know this thread is a bit old, but I wanted to share my experience and solution in case anyone else runs into this.
    The other day, I spent many hours editing some photos for a client. I saved them all and closed Photoshop. When I tried to open the .PSDs, they all came up with this "Not a valid Photoshop document" error. I was freaking out. I could see the thunmbnails and previews with the MacOS Finder and could see the images just fine in Lightroom, but couldn't open them in Photoshop CC.
    Finally, I remembered that these were NOT supposed to be .psd files! They were supposed to be TIFFs. What happened was, when I edited them from within Lightroom into Photoshop, they opened as TIFFs. However, when I did "save as", I wanted to name them similarly to some other files I had. I clicked on one of the existing files to copy the file name in the Save As dialog to make it easier to name the new file I was saving, but I didn't realize it was changing the file extention from ".tif" to ".psd" as well. The older MacOS (version 9 and earlier) didn't rely on file extensions fo identifying file types, so it didn't hit me right away that this would be the problem. When I changed the incorrect .psd file extension to .tiff, the files opened in Photoshop just fine.
    SO... if you run into this "Not a valid Photoshop document" error, try figuring out if it's actually another file type (.jpg, .tif, .png, etc) by either getting the file info from another program or just experimenting with different file extensions. Chances are good that your file isn't actually corrupt, but just named improperly!
