"Open with" command tries to open a document via Firefox, even though I have reassociated the file type numerous times.

Some time ago after installing the new Adobe Creative Suite 5, my indd file extensions lost their association to InDesign. I mis-clicked when trying to correct this and accidentally selected Firefox from the list of programs. But now I can't seem to correct the problem. I've reassociated the file extension with InDesign, but when I try to open the file, a dialog box pops up in Firefox asking if I'd like to open the file in InDesign. If I click OK, a new tab and new dialog box pops up -- endlessly. I've tried editing the registry but nothing seems to work. How can I erase firefox from this file extension's memory?

This is actually based on how the site handles different file types; Hotmail gives it to the browser as "application/octet-stream" or something like it, whereas sites that properly open it in the browser tag it as "application/pdf". Unfortunately there's nothing you can do about this without setting up a proxy to rewrite the HTTP headers. Complaints to Hotmail in the past haven't worked, and it's not possible to override the behavior in Firefox.

In Illustrator, I have a saved artwork, then I'm saving a copy as PDF, as usual.
After I keep the AI file open, making some modifications which I don't want to save, so I close the file and click "Don't Save".
Even though I clicked that, the file's modification time is changing.
(The modifications I made are not there, so it's not really saving but why the date is changing then?)
Please find the cause of it! Thank you!

All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

I'm running Snow Leopard on my iMac. I have a heap of documents that were created using an old word processor application called Apple Works and it wont work on Lion or Mt Lion. So I'm stuck with Snow leopard for the moment. I guess I can't use the new iPhoto either then...

My mac seems to have a virus thats connected with a few apps i use and i can't use them without my computer glitching out even though i've reinstalled the apps a few times.

My mac seems to have a virus thats connected with a few apps i use and i can't use them without my computer glitching out even though i've reinstalled the apps a few times. It's very frusterating especially when i'm doing someting when my computer randomly freezes or justs logs out for no reason when i'm using the apps.

Matthew,
if you boot your MacBook Pro in Safe mode, do those apps still behave in the same way?

My "photo's" won't open even though i have used the camera, it says i have no photos or the App fails to open all together

even though i have used my camera, when i click at the bottom left to view my captured images the app closes. when i go to "photo's" the app either fails to open or says i have no photos. what am i doing wrong? i have owed an iphone for 3 years and this has never happened.

Sounds to me like the file is probably corrupt. If you had hard drive corruption or damage, that could easily result in recovered files not being fully intact. If you were trying to recover accidentally deleted files, it's possible they might have been partially overwritten before recovering. There are never any guarantees with file recovery.
Without more information on the circumstances that led you to try recovery, it's hard to give advice on what to try from here. You could always try another file recovery tool, like Data Rescue 3. Just be sure you're taking appropriate precautions when doing recovery. See Recovering deleted files.

Hi. Just switched from PC to MAC (lion 6.7) and I am trying to import my bookmarks but Firefox for mac will not recognize the file. How do I move my bookmarks to my MAC from my PC?

Hi. Just switched from PC to MAC (lion 6.7) and I am trying to import my bookmarks but Firefox for MAC will not recognize the Bookmark back up file. How do I move my bookmarks to my MAC from my PC?

Make sure that the backup file with the bookmarks has the correct file extension: .html for a HTML backup and .json for a JSON backup. 
You can check that via the right-click context menu of that file and open the Properties. 
If you are not sure about the file type then you can open the file in Firefox via "File > Open File" 
A JSON backup will show as one long text line without line breaks and a HTML backup as a web page with clickable links. 
A JSON backup starts with: <nowiki>{"title":"","id":1,"dateAdded":</nowiki> 
An HTML backup starts with: <nowiki><!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1></nowiki>

I plugged my new iPhone 5 into iTunes and my wife was still logged on now when I want to download it comes up with my wife's I'd and not mine even though when I check the iTunes I'd on the phone it has my ID any help would be good

I plugged my new iPhone into iTunes but my wife was still logged in, now when I try and download or purchase anything it comes up with my wife's ID even though when I check the apple ID on the phone it is my ID, how do I correct this.

I recently had a 32gb iphone 4 I backed up the phone via cable to my pc and when I tried to sync the 16gb iphone 5 no apps synced and some other data as well there was an error message saying there is not enough room. there is plenty of room on the new phone for apps, is there any way i can access the photos and apps that are on my pc? I am mainly concerned about my photos. Do I have to buy a 32gb phone now?

Why am I still unable to open videos even though I have installed the most updated version of Flashplayer?

I have an IMAC using Safari version 5.1.10. I have uninstalled and reinstalled flashplayer 5 times now. I am still getting an error message "blocked plug-in" when I try to launch a video.
I never had this issue before when installing an updated version of flashplayer

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
One thing is the memory, and another thing is the hard disk space. You are telling me that you have 200 GB of free space on the hard disk, but the App Store is telling you that you have to install 2 GB of memory or more on your Mac if you want to upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.
First of all, open  > About this Mac > More Info, and copy "Model Identifier" here, so we can know what Mac you have got and how much memory you can install.
We recommend to buy the memory in OWC or Crucial (Crucial is cheaper and offers the same compatibility warranty as OWC) because you won't probably have any problem with the memory you buy there

Adobe pdf files won't open while I'm online in FireFox even though I can download pdf files and then open them. It all freezes and tells me to check regedit. I have FireFox 5 and Acrobat 8, and I haven't found regedit, let alone know what to do with it..

If I click to open a pdf file when online with Firefox, the screen freezes and it tells me that the registry isn't updated and I should try regedit. About a month ago I had to wipe my computer clean and start all over again because of a virus that couldn't be cleaned out. I've since downloaded all necessary programs, Acrobat 8 one of them, but this message only appeared yesterday. Not sure why it worked up until now if it's the registry. But I don't know how to update it with regedit.

You need to get rid of all those duplicate files. Put these in the Trash:
Adobe Reader 7.07 (all copies)
AdbeRdr708enUS.dmg
This should leave you with one copy of Adobe Reader 7.08 in your Applications folder, with the correct Adobe icon.
Now run Disk Utility and choose Repair Permissions. When it's done, try double-clicking on the Adobe Reader icon and see if it starts normally. If not, make a note as to any error messages or unusual behavior and post again.

My Firefox keeps crashing with a message "This Connection is Untrusted" even though I have reinstalled the product.

I am not entirely sure why this has been happening but I have tried to solve this issue for a while now. I am unable to log in into my email because the message "The Connection is Untrusted" does not allow me to add an exception. This has been happening to a variety of Websites, however, for some of them I was able to add an exception. More importantly (i wish i was able to include screenshots), the view of for instance this window or Facebook is altered and showed without images but only with blue-regular words. This happens repeatedly.
Re-installation of this program as well reset throughout Troubleshooting seems not to work nor does the update of the Adobe Flash Player. I have never had any problems with a great product such as Firefox but all of the sudden I am lost. I would appreciate any help from you guys because I would like to keep using this product.
Thank You,
Dave

It shouldn't be necessary to add an exception.
Make sure that the date and time are correct on your computer.
If a web page is opened in a (i)frame then you can't set an exception. 
You can try to open page in the frame in a new tab via the right-click context menu.
Check out why the site is untrusted (see the Technical details) and if this is caused by a missing intermediate certificate then see if you can install this intermediate certificate from another source.
You can retrieve the certificate and check details like who issued certificates and expiration dates of certificates.
*Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
*Click the "View..." button and inspect the certificate and check who is the issuer.
You can see more Details like intermediate certificates that are used in the Details pane.
Try to rename the cert8.db file in the Firefox profile folder to cert8.db.old or delete the cert8.db file to remove intermediate certificates that Firefox has stored.
If that helped to solve the problem then you can remove the renamed cert8.db.old file. 
Otherwise you can rename (or copy) the cert8.db.old file to cert8.db to restore the previous intermediate certificates. 
Firefox will automatically store intermediate certificates when you visit websites that send such a certificate.
If that didn't help then remove or rename secmod.db (secmod.db.old) as well.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

I'm trying to print envelopes by using Pages merge. It continues to read it as a 8.5X11 sheet even though I have set the page size to 6.5X4.75

I've merged names and addresses to be printed in Pages. The page size is set to 6.5 x 4.75 but the printer keeps trying to print as if it is an 8.5 x 11 sheet. Any ideas where I'm missing a setting? I've been merging things for 25 years and I've never had this problem.

Hi fruhulda!
Thank you so much! I called the printer company and finally got the problem solved. This printer must print with the long side oriented as the pass through. The envelope I was using had been oriented to have the short side pass through. It doesn't really seem logic that the printer cannot print the sizes entered but when I changed the orientation in Page Set Up it worked.
Had I check this would have certainly helped.

I'm having a problem with software keyboard. It somehow switched to AZERTY even though I have selected QUERTY. ???!!!

Software keyboard has somehow switched to AZERTY and I can't switch it back to QUERTY even though this is the setting I've selected. Any ideas? Thanks, everyone!

2)      Tap “General.” This is found on the left hand panel of the Settings Screen.
3)      Tap “Keyboard.” This is located on right hand panel of the Settings Screen towards the bottom half.
4)      Tap “International Keyboard”
Now change your keyboards settings...

CS5, Windows 7 and the 'OPEN WITH' command fails

I am having an 'issue' with the OPEN WITH command under Windows 7.
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium (fully updated) edition and my system meets all of the advertised Adobe requirements.
If I open Photoshop CS5 (64-bit); it will work OK and as expected in all cases. However, if I right click on a .jpg file (or any other graphic file) and select, OPEN WITH, then select Photoshop CS5 from the list, Photoshop appears to be trying to run, then the system reports that it has failed to open. Yet, if I open Photoshop first, then open the file from within the prog, it opens OK and Photoshop works as expected.
Has anyone else come across this behaviour ... and more importantly, does anyone know what is the cause of this and how to resolve the issue ??
Many thanks.

Nope, when I right-click a JPEG, Open With, Photoshop CS5 results in Photoshop CS5 x64 starting and the image opening.
I tested it with both Photoshop not running and with Photoshop already running.
I have Windows 7 x64 Ultimate.
You say the system reports an error... Have you looked in the Windows System Event Log (or Application Event Log)? More information may be provided there.

Hello Badri
“Open with Explorer” may not work if you have 64-bit Internet Explorer and 64-bit Microsoft Office installed.

Why can't I open some of my documents on Pages even though I created them all on the same IPad with the same Pages ap?

Why can't I open some of my documents on Pages even though I created them all on the same IPad with the same Pages ap?

I think I know the problem because I've had it myself. I didn't upgrade iWorks on my iPad, but after Apple made changes to iCloud (concurrent with Mavericks) any docs passing through it were modified and made unreadable. Even though, as you say, they were created on my iPad using the previous version of iOS Pages, which I didn't upgrade.
iCloud is the culprit, if your iPad settings had iCloud>Documents & Data enabled, the docs were modified and disabled in the cloud.
I made a further mistake. After I saw this happening, I didn't think to turn off auto updates, and Apple pushed the new version of iOS Pages onto my iPad. The result was that ALL my docs disappeared from the iPad, and from iCloud.com also. I have not been able to recover them.
I've been talking to the Pages engineering team about it. If they come up with an answer, I'll post it here. Meanwhile, get those older files backed up somewhere safe if you can.
