Not able to open a downloaded file - paint??

I cannot open a file downloaded in Adobe. This is the error message: "Paint cannot read this file. This is not a valid bitmap file, or its format is not currently supported." I get the same message when I try to open saved adobe files or files that have just been downloaded. I think the downloading is ok as I get the message that the file has downloaded. But, I am not able to open it. Paint is elicited instead. I am using a windows operating system and firefox for a browser. Does anyone have some hints to pass on? I don't know where to begin.

What do you mean by "Adobe files"?
What is your operating system?

I am not able to open a PDF file that I just created. I get an access denied message instead.

I am not able to open a PDF file that I just created. I get an access denied message instead.

Thanks for asking.
I was combining different types of files into a single PDF. Some of them were excel spreadsheets and I had set the print areas in each file. When I cleared the print area the problem stopped. So I am assuming that had something to do with it. Though I am not sure.
The strange thing was that I was able to open the excel source documents after creating the faulty PDF but some of the MS word source documents also had "access denied" status. I still cannot figure that part out.

Magic Mouse not not able to open folders or files

Magic Mouse not able to open folders or files on desk top. I can drag folders around but not able to open either with a double or single click of the mouse.
Tried an older BT mouse with same effect.
Command O works fine.

Hey there kwilli2,
It sounds like your mouse left click is not functioning correctly. I have a couple of things to recommend and see what might be happening. First check in the Universal Access preferences pane to see if either, the double click speed is set to high.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
From the View menu, choose Universal Access.
Click the Mouse & Trackpad tab.
For Magic Mouse, click Mouse Options to show these slider controls:
Adjust the sliders to your preference for double-click and scrolling speeds.
From: Magic Trackpad and Magic Mouse: How to adjust double-click and scrolling speed in Lion
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4930
If lowering the double click speed does not resolve the issue, I would next try these troubleshooting steps in this article named:
Troubleshooting wireless mouse and keyboard issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3048
Mouse buttons do not work as expected.
The Mouse preference pane allows users to customize the mouse features to meet their needs.
Choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu, then choose Mouse from the View menu. Set the Tracking slider to adjust how fast the pointer moves as you move the mouse.
Try using a different surface to see if the tracking improves.
Turn the mouse over and inspect the sensor window. Use compressed air to gently clean the sensor window if dust or debris is present.
If multiple Bluetooth wireless devices are in use nearby, try turning them off one at a time to see if the issue improves. Bandwidth intensive devices could affect tracking.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version, 10.3 or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.0.1.152 is for Lion.
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
(If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, contributor Texas Mac Man suggests the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the latest version:)
Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

Not able to open a PDF file in Creative Cloud Illustrator. It shows missing links and so forth

I'm working on CS5 and saving my AI files as PDF. This is all for print, I have created the outlines, and flattened transparency between an image I had placed in on the PDF. My CreativeCLoud AI is not able to open the PDF. It shows that it is missing links. How do I fix this?

Provide the files linked to.

Any number of possibilities.
What happens when you try? Or don't you know how?

I upgraded my Mac OSX by downloading Maverick. I am not able to open backed up files that have .cwk format. Is there a solution?

Mac OS X, Version 10.9.5. 4GB 1067MHz DDR3 I recently upgraded to Maverick. Now I am unable to open Genealogy files with .cwk format. I spent an hour at an Apple Store Genius Bar with no solution.

Hello,
knowing the type of the files that you want to convert is interesting :
- if there are text/spreadsheet/presentation files, iWork'09 may be able to convert them,
- if there are graphic vector files, there exists some commercial solutions : EazyDraw Retro ( http://www.eazydraw.com/appleWorks.htm ), Intaglio which can give good or less good results
Concerning LibreOffice, normally, the LibreOffice 4.3 tries to convert all AppleWorks/ClarisWorks documents ( excepted the presentation files ), the result can be good or not ( this depends on the complexity of the original documents, ...) :-~
Notes:
- you can find more informations about migrating AppleWorks files in http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/aw/page1.html
- if your documents do not contain ant confidential data, seeing some of them may interest me to see what happens with the LibreOffice's filter : check if some parts of the documents are not parsed, ...

Adobe reader not able to open links to files on FTP sites (10.1.3)

Hi,
After the recent Reader upgrade to 10.1.3, we are no longer to use the existing documentation that has hyperlinks to our company FTP site.
The document is published using Adobe Acrobat 9.5.1, and the staff open the document using Reader 10.1.3.
In reader when they click on the hyperlinks to the FTP files, the following error is shown:
'Could not open the file: 'ftp://******(doc name)****.zip'
In Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended - when you click on the hyperlinks you get this error;
'This file is set to be launched by this PDF file. This is currently disallowed by your system administrator'
Can someone please let me know how to fix this?
Thanks!

Hi Pat,
Thanks for the reply.
I'm confused at why this worked in March 2012, but not now (May 2012).
Previously having a hyperlink in a document to download a ZIP file from a FTP site worked.
I did take a look at forum you listed, but I couldn't work out how the document could help me to fix this situation.

Have you been able to get a hyperlink to work to download a file from a FTP site?
Thanks!

I am not able to open the.json file when I try to save my bookmarks.

I tired to back up my files but it does not open in any program.
In addition, I downloaded the AOL toolbar and spent an hour putting my information I wanted on the toolbar and then the tool bar disappeared.

JSON files aren't meant to be opened directly. When you back up your bookmarks, the JSON file that is created can be used to restore that backup or to move your bookmarks to another computer. You do that by opening the Library window ("Show all bookmarks"), clicking on "Import and Backup -> '''Restore'''" option and choosing that backup file. See this article for details:
*[[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]

Why is Firefox 5.0.1 on my mac with v10.7 not able to open an .m4v file that four other browsers can?

I have a file at url: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16813292/boating_projects/pilot_house/Tabernacle_Test.m4v that I can open with Safari, Google Chrome, Opera, and Camino but not with Firefox 5.0.1. Firefox gives me a dialog suggesting I need QuickTime for Leopard. I have the same results with any .m4v file on my hard drive or on the internet. I have a desktop mac running OSX v10.7

That file is send as <b>video/mp4</b> by the server.
Do you see that content type listed on the about:plugins page or in Firefox > Preferences > Applications?
You can open about: pages via the location bar like you open a website.

Am running itunes 11.0.4 and not able to open either wav file or mp3 ?

Ok, so as someone who has been using Macs for a very long time and making music and the rest, I have suddenly found that I can't open a file for a backing track that has been sent to me using .wav format and now .mp3 - the files wont open in itunes (or show up in itunes) after I have tried adding to library and have even tried adding to my drop box and listening but NOTHING! Have checked settings and preferences and have mp3 decoder in drop down menu and have also turned off 'itunes match' incase that caused a conflict of some sort.
Am totally bemused.
Any advice from anyone?

HT204370 i bought crouching tiger hidden dragon and i am not able to find the downloaded file in my iTunes. i would like to re-download it, as i see it in my purchase history. however, i don't want to have to re-purchase the movie. how do i re-download?

how can i re-download a purchased movie that has been taken out of my itunes library without being charged again?

You don't have a copy of it on your backup of your downloads and you've checked your computer's hard drive for it ? What you can re-download will show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes. If other films show there but not that one and it's still in your country's iTunes store then check to see if it's hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
If it's not hidden and it's still in your country's store then you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they wil grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
