Not able to save or open files or applications

My 2008 Macbook Pro fell to the ground off my desk the other night. It will not open files, save files, open applications. The internet does not run effectively and it will not read hard drives in either USB port or the Firewire port. The initial signs looked like my hard drive has been corrupted and I need a new one, but im not sure with the internet and usb and fire wire problems. What is your unofficial diagnosis?

Unfortunately, it looks like the whole logic board was damaged when it fell off. Take the Mac to an Apple Store to get it repaired, but don't expect that the repair is cheap (the logic board is so expensive)

  • I'm not able to save any files on an none apple external hard drive, what can i do to make it work?

    I bought a omega 320GB external hard drive so a friend could save the files off an old windows laptop i had but now when i try and open the files on my mac, it doesn't let me. i'm also not able to save any file on to this hard drive either! can some one please help me?

    The drive has the NTFS format, which the Mac OS can read but can't write to. Copy the files from the external drive onto your Mac, then reformat the external drive using Disk Utility, creating a Mac OS Extended volume and using the GUID partition scheme. Then you'll be able to write to the drive. Note that reformatting erases everything from the drive, so don't do it until after you've saved the drive's contents to other media.

  • Users are not able to save pdfs after editing - Adobe XI. They do not use the Win7 explorer preview pane.  If they completely close the Win7 explorer window, they can save - Adobe XI thinks the preview pane is open when it is not.

    Users are not able to save pdfs after editing.  Product is Adobe XI, OS is Win7 64-bit.  When saving, an error pops up that the file cannot be saved, it is in use.  If they save as a different name, it works.  Found several forums/blogs/etc that suggest the problem can be solved by closing the Window7 explorer preview pane.  They don't use the preview pane.  I figured out that if they completely close the explorer window, they can save.  But this means they have to open and close explorer for each file.

    Hi, I would like to chime in and say that this problem has not yet been resolved. It is extremely annoying when all I do is highlight a document in the file explorer and I get 5 errors (evenly spaced out about 20 seconds apart telling me that "Microsoft
    Word Cannot Start (24)". These errors persist even after windows explorer and word are closed. And I don't want to start terminating processes just to make them stop every time.
    I'm a little frustrated with this problem and the other problems I've encountered with MS Office 2013 with file corruption, crashing, 2010 compatibility issues, and the whole host of errors when trying to actually do WORK with Word.
    I do work with long, complex reports in Word because that's the best way available for myself (and my coworkers) to use. However, I sincerely regret upgrading to Office 2013 because of it. I love it, all of its features, and its interface, but I simply cannot
    use it without problems.

  • I updated imovie and I Used to be able to save as Quicktime file, now not an option & files are so large when I save as mpeg4 and just rename them. Please help!

    I updated imovie and I used to be able to save as Quicktime file, now not an option & files are so large when I save as mpeg4 and just rename them. Please help!

    Actually it is easier than I thought. It is H264 but the wrapper is m4v. You can just change that in the finder to .mov and drop it into iDVD. iMovie will send it to iTunes so just right click on it in iTunes and select reveal in finder and then copy/paste to desktop and change to .mov. Then drag into iDVD. Really easy.

  • Not able to read the wsdl file from server Premature EOF encounter

    Hi All,
    I am facing issue while accessing a web Service from server. Here is the clear view about it.
    I created a simple SyncBpel process in a composite and deployed in to the server and it is working fine. Later i created a new Asyn bpel process in a composite and in the external reference i dragged a web Service and imported the wsdl url from server of the SyncBpel and wired the Asynbpel process to webserive .
    Now here i am facing peculiar behavior which i am not able to trace it out.
    1) For the first time when i import the url of syncBpel from the server i am not facing any error and it is working fine as expected but when i close the Jdeveloper and open it i am not able to user the web Service and it is saying as "Not able to read the wsdl file from server Premature EOF encounter"
    2)When i close and open the Jdeveloper i can see the url of the wsdl which imported in webserver is changing from http://stcfmw03.satyam.com:8021/soa-infra/services/Tarak/synchronousBpel/bpelsync_client_ep?WSDL to http://stcfmw03.satyam.com:8021/soa-infra/services/Tarak/synchronousBpel/BPELsync.wsdl
    3)when I open and see the url http://stcfmw03.satyam.com:8021/soa-infra/services/Tarak/synchronousBpel/bpelsync_client_ep?WSDL I can see the soap address as *<soap:address location="http://stcfmw03.satyam.com:8021/soa-infra/services/Tarak/synchronousBpel!1.0*soa_5cfb8416-c106-40a2-a53b-9054bbe04b9c/bpelsync_client_ep"/>*
    I don’t understand why the soap end contains “*soa_5cfb8416-c106-40a2-a53b-9054bbe04b9c” and this kind of url for soap address is coming to all the bpel process which I am deploying in the server.
    I checked the in Jdeveloper where webproxy is uncheck and the server is also up but still I am facing issue of reading the error.
    Can someone please help in resolving the issue.
    I am using SOA 11g 11.1.1.5 and Jdeveloper 11.1.1.5
    Many thanks.

    Hi,
    Setting default from the jdeveloper -
    During composite deployment from Jdeveloper (wizard driven), you will be given an option to choose the version of the composite and there will also be an option for you to choose if the composite needs to be deployed as default.
    Setting default from the em console -
    After deploying a composite, login to the em console and click on the composite that you want to set as default, and you will find a tab - "Set as Default". please note that this tab will not be seen, if the composite is already set as default.

  • Finder not able to view folders and files on EHD after updating to OS X 10.9.4

    I can see still see 'Hitachi' in the 'Devices' Sidebar, but I am not able to view folders and files on this Hitachi XL2000 2TB FAT32 Hard Drive (EHD) that is USB connected to the iMac below.
    Late 2013 Apple iMac (27-inch Display 2560 x 1440), 3.4GHz Quad-core Intel Core i5, Turbo Boost up to 3.8GHz, 8GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2X4GB, 512GB Flash Storage, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M 2GB GDDR5, Magic Trackpad, Apple Wireless Keyboard and OS X 10.9.4 Mavericks
    All was fine until I updated from OS X 10.9.3 to 10.9.4 earlier this week, so now when I double-click on 'Hitachi' it just loads and loads with nothing happening and never displays the folder and file contents of the EHD.
    Also, confirmed that Hitachi EHD has been removed from Spotlight indexing per System Preferences > Privacy > + > Hitachi and it was so this does not seem to be an indexing issue.
    I have used OnyX and Apple Disk Utilities unsuccessfully to try and fix this problem.
    Interestingly, Backblaze online backup still sees the EHD and connecting this EHD to a Win 8.1 PC also sees the EHD.
    Further, I ran the commands below in 'Terminal' to make sure the drive was visible and got the following results which shows that the EHD is not hidden.
    iMac:Applications john$ chflags nohidden /Volumes/Hitachi/
    iMac:Applications john$ GetFileInfo /Volumes/Hitachi/
    directory: "/Volumes/HITACHI"
    attributes: avbstclinmedz
    modified: 07/10/2014 23:26:44
    Finally, I installed XtraFinder and am still not able to see the contents of the EHD, but when I installed OmniDiskSweeper I can navigate the EHD folder tree with no problems and can see the contents of the EHD, but when I try and open up a file it opens Finder which loads and loads and nothing happens.

    Apple Support was quite helpful, but in the end I will wait to do a clean install of OS X Yosemite which is due in the Fall and not try and fix OS X 10.9.4 Mavericks.
    It turns out that I run backups on my '/Users/john/Library' and the size of this folder before the 10.9.4 update was 1.07 GB and after the update it is 806.9 MB which is baffling, but in the end all of these problems should be resolved with a clean install of OS X Yosemite.
    One lesson learned for the future is that I will wait on installing an update until it has been in the wild for awhile as a quick OS X Mavericks Finder Problem search and similar searches show there could be an issue.

  • User not able to save e-mails from public folder

    Hi,
    I have a email user with a complain that she is not able to save some e-mails from public folder, nor their attachments, nor to forward them to her own inbox. This happen not for all emails but randomly for some emails in her public folder.
    She can open and read but got following  error message , while trying to save the attachment of the email
    "Cannot save the attachment. You do not have sufficient permission to perform this operation on this object. See the folder contact or your system administrator"
    The following error occurred  when she trying to forward the email.
    "Cannot open this item. You do not have sufficient permission to perform this operation on the object. See the folder contact or your system administrator"
    I have tried to grant "Edit All"  in the write permission area, later tried with "owner permission" too but still having the same errors.
    I found out in some occasion when the email is read only then it cannot be forwarded, copy or print the contents.
    I see emails in the public folder appeared with "Read only" but most of them can be saved and forward, only few appear with errors for the user. I did checked the emails "Restrict permission" setting and that display
    with "No restriction".
    How can I get rid of the errors and allow the user to save the attachment and also save the email in different location of the public folder.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Please check if you can move these affected messages to Inbox folder.
    And please check if the issue persists in OWA.
    Does this issue affect only one user?
    If this issue only affects one user, you can recreate Outlook profile to check result.

  • CS5 not able to save workspaces or edit preferences

    Hey guys,
    After installing CS5 yesterday I quickly found out that in all of the programs I am not able to save my work space or edit preferences.  Basically what happens is I will say "save workspace" and a blank box pops up which says save workspace, but then that is it... its basically frozen because I can not get past this prompt.
    Now when I try to change my preferences on the clipboard to take off PDF preferences, I see a square that minimizes quickly to the bottom right of the program and then the program is left frozen, (nothing can be clicked on) and the only way to exit is to end the process.
    According to some other people this may be caused due to a flaw in the installer which makes it so I do not have access to read // write preferences.  There seemed to be a solution for some mac users by changing system files so that anyone can update them.  But I can not seem to find the same files they are editing on my windows 7.
    Can some one please try to help me out.
    Thank you so much

    Do you have any custom display setting such as large fonts or resolution? If so, set them back to Windows defaults.

  • Not able to save mp4 on FMS 3.5.3 using FMLE3.2

    In my previous question (Not able to save LIVE streaming video on FMS using FMLE 3.2) ,
    now i can save mp4 video files but 0 byte size. i am using the same code which you suggest me in previous question.
    s=Stream.get("mp4:stream_record.mp4")
    s.play(incoming_stream_from_FMLE);
    s.record;
    but things go fine if i remove 's=Stream.get("mp4:stream_record.mp4")' this part. file is saved but only the audio part.
    my live streaming settings were
    video codec settings
    'Format = H.264
    frameRate = 20 fps
    bitrate = 650 kbps
    audio Codec settings
    format  = mp3
    sample rate = 44100 hz
    bitrate = 128 kbps
    Please help.

    Can you try the same code after removing .mp4 extension. I dont see any problem in the code. So this should have worked for f4v file recording. FLV file cannot record H264 packets and hence you are getting Audio only file when you are trying to record without any format and extension.

  • InfoSpoke fails with message "Could not open file on application server"

    BW Experts,
    I created an InfoSpoke that is configured to extract to a flat file. The name of the file is specified using a logical filename. During extraction, the infospoke reports the error message "Could not open file on application server" adnd  marks the extraction process as red(failed). I have tried to run the InfoSpoke in background mode and in dialog mode and the same error appears. After i run in dialog mode, i checked SU53 for authorization errors and did not find any. I also tried changing the Logical filename setup in transaction FILE to a more "friendly" directory in which i'm sure i have authorizations (e.g. my UNIX home directory) and im still getting errors.
    Can you please share your thoughts on this? Any help will greatly appreciated. I also promise to award points.

    Hi Nagesh,
    Thanks for helping out.
    If i configure the InfoSpoke to download to a file using "File Name" option and also check the "Application server" checkbox, the extract works correctly (extraction to the defualt SAP path and filename=infospoke name). If i configure the InfoSpoke to download to the local workstation, the InfoSpoke also works correctly. It's only when i configure it to download to the application server and use the "Logical filename" option, that i encounter a failed extract.
    Here are the messages is the Open Hub Monitor:
    (red icon) Request No.147515
    0 Data Records
    Runtime 1 sec.
    (red icon)Run No. 1

    If i clink on the error message, no messages nor clues are displayed. Note, this is a new InfoSpoke that is currently in the dev system.
