None of my folders are opening

none of my folders are opening. I have osx 10.7.2. i tried restarting and nothing, but when i have system preferneces open its fine. oh and does anyone know how to downgrade back to 10.7.0. i have an update and i dont like it.

Not knowing where your folders are, it's hard to say how you can open folders. Usually, in the finder window, you click on it, and the contents show up in the next column.
As for "downgrading", it all depends if you have the 10.7.0 installer around, which probably disappeared long ago. Rarely is there a good reason to downgrade, unless some program is borked. Each release of OSX improves way more than it messes up.

I updated my pages app on my ipad and when I tried to open a document it says the file format is invalid. None of my documents are opening pleaser help!

I updated my pages app on my ipad and when I tried to open a document it says the file format is invalid. None of my documents are opening pleaser help!!!!

Try this. It worked for me.
I discovered the same problem. I had an older version of Pages on my iPad. After updating it to the latest version all my previous documents created in pages for the iPad were rendered unreadable and a message stated that they were an invalid format. Why for the life of me would a program that was created by Apple and sense updated not be able to read previous versions...well that's a whole other sad story. Any way I discovered how to fix it but it would require that you had backup your iPad on a computer and not emptied your trash. If this sounds good than here is how you fix it... And it worked for me.
These steps will enable you to reinstall a previous version of the Pages app so you can be able to read and edit older documents.
FIRST: if you did backup your iPad using your computer and did not empty your trash, GOTO the trash and look for PAGES 1.4 (or other number) ipa ( that's the file extension) ie PAGES 1.4 ipa.
SECOND: move that file out of the trash and onto your desktop. Once you do this, double click on it and a box will come up stating a newer version has been found and do you want to revert back to older version. ANSWER YES. It will than automatically place and overwrite the older version back into the file on iTunes that contains the rest of your backed up apps.
THIRD: and this is where it is important that your backup would have to have been on your computer. I'm not sure if backup on the cloud will work. iCloud backup at your own risk And here's why. Before you restore you will need to remove the latest version of Pages off your iPad by doing the usual : holding down the home button until the apps wiggle and remove by pressing on X on app. Removing off your iPad will also delete all your documents but if you have a previous backup on your computer those documents will be stored safely on itunes and will return.
FORTH: plug your iPad into your computer and allow it to sync so iTunes will recognize it. Once iTunes is up and you can see that it recognizes your iPad, GOTO "FILE/DEVICES/RESTORE FROM BACKUP." ******* DO NOT CLICK ON BACKUP***** click on RESTORE FROM BACKUP. This will reinstall all previous settings and documents that were their when you backuped PLUS the older version of Pages that you placed back from the above steps. Let it run through all the setups ( this could take up to 20 minutes...depending on amount of data and photos and apps).
FIFTH: Once everything is reinstalled a message will popup on your computer stating "to leave iPad plugged in until iTunes recognizes it again" ( it's basically rebooting itself). Once done (leave iPad plugged in still) GOTO iPad and follow the steps. IMPORTANT: iPad will ask you if you want to SET IT UP AS A NEW IPAD, BACK UP FROM THE CLOUD or BACK UP FROM ITUNES.....press SET UP AS NEW IPAD. Follow all of the steps required. Once complete GOTO iTunes on computer, look for "IPAD" plus a little arrow ( should be on upper right corner of iTunes window, click on it ( this will safely disconnect your iPad from iTunes) . Now unplug iPad from computer and go to your iPad and look for the older version of Pages. It should be there along with all your old documents ( readable and editable too).
Hope this helps. Good luck.

Every time I open iPhoto a window opens telling me that there are 3 photos that have not been imported. Recovered folders are opened with no photos and I cannot find which photos have not been imported. Help please!

Every time I open iPhoto a window opens telling me that there are 3 photos that have not been imported. This happens twice. When I answer yes then nothing happens and if I answer no then a recovered folder is opened with no photos in it. These recoverable folders keep opening with no photos in them. I cannot find which photos have not been imported. Can anyone assist please?

Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
Start iPhoto. Does that help?
If it does then look inside that folder on your desktop. Does it contain anything you want? If not you can trash the folder.

HT1414 what if none of my apps are opening on my iphone 4s? all of the apps I downloaded just say "waiting"

None of my apps that I downloaded are opening and all of them just say "waitin

Hi charmedbella10,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. The following is a past discussion that dealt with a similar issue of apps seemingly paused in "waiting" and may help:
App updates won't download on my...: Apple Support Communities
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4111336
Try tapping the App, so that it changes to Paused instead of Waiting, then tap it again to resume the install.
Make sure you don't have any paused downloads in other apps either, like the App Store or iTunes Store.
If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone.

Cheers,

Have tried to download several items. It use to go straight to my download folder. Now it does not offer that option or open from your download screen.

Crash when certain folders are opened in media browser.

OPneing a project is fine but when I open that sequences folder in the media browser, premier crashes. I have roughly 20 projects working currently and roughly 5 or 6 do this. I did upgrade to Mavericks a few days ago which screwed up my AE and I fixed with a patch. Is there something for Premiere as well?
Slight panic going on here as a couple of them are due soon....and I can not acccess.

Go back to http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere and enter

None of the applications are opening

Apps not working

Agreed, is this just your user installed applications, or are apps like Calendar/Mail/App Store not opening as well?
If nothing is opening you'll want to try a 2 button hard reset on your iPad, Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button on your device for 10-20 seconds until the Apple logo shows. Let go and allow the device to reboot. See if your apps open after that
If your apps still do not open, try downloading a free application through the App Store to see if it's an issue with the iPad or just the apps that were user installed. Any free app will do, make sure to acknowledge any change store notices. Try your apps again after installing a free app.
If you still don't notice any improvement we only have 2 options, delete and redownload the apps or use iTunes to remove and reinstall your apps.
Very worse case you might need to restore the operating software on your device, but do not do that before trying everything else! http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137

Serious System Problems. Pictures and Documents folders are opening iPhoto when clicked. iPhoto Library gone.

I have been speaking to Old Toad for the majority of today trying to fix my iPhoto Library as its become corrupt and I cannot get my photos/videos back into iPhoto. After many many suggestions I seem to have created some serious system problems.
PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS THREAD...

If anybody can be of assisatance that would be a great help.
I am a mac dummie, recently transfered so foolproof guidance will be helpfull!
(Unfortunatly.. and now I know the importance, I haven't used time-machine and my mac isn't backed up. If i restore to factory settings I will loose the 600+ photos and videos I had in my iPhoto Library.... which dissapeared, which is the whole reason why I created the first thread)
Thank you!!

Linc:
It appeared to me that somehow the OP's Picture folder was converted into an iPhoto Library as his screenshot of the PIctures folder looked like the inside of a library.
This statement by the OP make me think it might be more than just an iPhoto issue (the bold text):
I am unable to drag the Picture folder to the desktop, It wont move, and iPhoto (which is still empty) just opens.
Some how the same is happening with Documents,

TS4002 Since update to IOS 7.03 , i show unread email in the unread folder and inbox, but when folders are open it updates and in large and small window says no email, but note at bottom still says unread email exist. The total is growing by the day.

Cannot see phantom supposed emails that are unread, its say on page no email, but bottom shows unreads, this only happened after upgrade to 7.03

A reset may cure this.
Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.

Since installing new Firefox without my consent, none of my browsers are opening and I am unable to open email or anything on PC now. Why!

When I launch Finder for the first time the same folders are always open

Hi. When I first boot up and launch Finder the same folders are always open on my boot drive. I close them all and continue to work on the computer, opening and closing folders as needed for that day's projects until I quit for the day. But the next time I start up (normally the next day) the same exact folders are open on my boot drive when I first open Finder or if I just double-click the drive. I've tried switching accounts and then back again and trashing Finder preferences, making sure every single folder is closed before I shut down, but the folders continue to show up as open the next time I boot up my Mac Pro. Any ideas anyone?

Thanks for your suggestion. In the meantime I contacted support at www.bombich.com (creator of Carbon Copy Cloner) and told them what I was thinking about doing and they suggested deleting the hidden .DS_Store files in the folders remaining open. This is the explanation they gave me:
This file, created by the Finder, keeps track of folder view options, icon positions, and other visual information about folders. A separate .DS_Store file is created in each directory about that directory.
So I went online and found the Terminal commands for showing (and hiding) hidden files and trashed, one by one, all the .DS_Store files in the folders that were remaining open and that did the trick. I've tested Finder several times on relaunch and reboot and it's working perfectly again. Folders remain closed as I've left them before shutting down. Big relief. And I've learned something about .DS_Store files.
Thanks to you and Eric Root for your replies and suggestions. They are appreciated.

Folders remain open on desktop

Hi, all -
In finder, when opening folders within folders, all stay open until the red "X" is clicked. For instance, when getting a recipe that resides in the "recipe" folder, which is in the "document" folder on the hard drive, there are three open windows (Mac HD, Documents and Recipes).
Checked Finder preferences, and the box that says, "Always open folders in a new window" is NOT checked.
I would like the default to be that as folders within folders are opened, only the last opened remains open.
Thanks.

You could access the last location folder by an alias and
so that item alone would open, and when done, you'd
just close one folder without ever opening up the others.
A folder of alias accessed items can be created on the
root level of the hard drive (if you are the only user, no
issue regarding access to originals, permissions, etc)
and such a folder can be dragged into the Dock in the
space near the Trash. This can act as an extension to
the Dock, but this window may be shaped to better
fit the side of the screen so it stays out of the way when
accessing applications or locations via alias items.
{Active link to the Documents folder, if you use that often,
could essentially be created (symbiotic link, if folder is
dragged into the Dock, near the trash icon in Tiger.) A
click on that would open only the last location, too.}
There likely is a way to Script the functions of files
and folders, whether or not the action could be
chosen as system-wide or only specific items, is
another matter. Someone expert should know this...
Good luck & happy computing!

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps youshouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

Hello, starting with today I have a strange problem: all events are correctly shown in the finder but in FCP-X there`s`none and every time I open it creates a new event. What is wrong?

Hello, starting with today I have a strange problem with Final Cut Pro X: all events are correctly shown in the finder but in FCP-X there`s`none and every time I open it creates a new event. What is wrong?

Here`s the screenshot.
But anyway:
The drive is Makintosh HD from my Macbook and it is shown in the event mediathek and in the projects. Since I`ve recognized this problem I installed FCPX again and consequently the event and project directory created by FCPX is where it should be and it shows all the test events including it`s files.
So what happens? Opening FCPX you see only one event and that a new empty event. All previous events are not shown there even if you can see them in the finder. So if you import again the clips they are in this new event library. After closing correctly FCPX and reopening there again is nothing than an new and empty event. What it does is that it recognized that i.e. there are events with previous numbers and so it creates an new one with the next available counting number.
If you want to open one event from the finder it by clicking to the file it opens FCPX but it says it cannot open the clicked file.

None of my folders are opening
