I am switching from PC to Mac - my file links that are stored on a network server do not work any longer - is there a fix for this?

  • Can't open pdf file linked through a ASPX link in Safari

    I'm a new Mac user so sorry if this is basic. It appears when I click on a link in Safari that should open a PDF file (link uses a ASP link) I get the download box instead. I can download the file to my desktop and open it with adobe from there. I just downloaded the latest adobe reader. This is a new intel iMac (10.4.8). If I click directly on a link to a PDF file it opens in Safari with no problem. The specific link I'm having trouble with is :
    http://www.rochester.k12.mi.us/download.aspx?ft=MzAwMTV8fHwyNC4xOTIuMTM5LjE4NXx8 MS8yLzIwMDcgODo0OTozNyBQTQ%3D%3D
    It seems to see the file as having a ".pdf.exe" extension so doesn't open it with adobe but sees it as an application so offers to download or cancel.
    Really clicking on any PDF link from this page causes the same problem : http://www.rochester.k12.mi.us/index.asp?folder=15700&name=Physical%20Science
    These links act OK using IE. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks...Jim

    Sorry for the insufficient info.
    My environment is Windows 7 64bit.
    The PDF was converted from Word file and for example the link which should open a local file was working on version 10.1.1.33 (like first picture below) but not anymore after updating to 10.1.4(second one).
    Can you help me with this?

  • Safari and PDF file links

    Why can't I open PDF file links in Safari? The new window that opens shows only a black screen. I have the latest verison of Mac software and Adobe software loaded.
    Thanks,
    Cyn ~

    To  view PDF in Safari Preview remove Adobe plug ins if any.
    Macintosh HD > Library > Internet Plug-ins
    Look for these two files.
    AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin
    AdobePDFViewer.plugin
    Right click it and then select Move to Trash”.

  • Why is the "open with" option always grayed out when I click on a file link?

    For example, when accessing an email account with firefox and I click on an .mp3 attachment the "open with" choice is always grayed out. This issue is not exclusive to email attachments rather all file links that I click on any site give me the same result. I am using MAC OS X Mavericks.
    How can I restore the "open with" selection?
    Thanks for your time,
    Chris Woods

    You can try rename (or delete) the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all file actions.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/mimeTypes.rdf
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions#Resetting_download_actions
    You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

  • Multiple file links in a single page: A better way to/efficient way to handle ?

    Aloha Everyone!
    I would like to ask the community how they have handled multiple file links in a single page. Sort of a pseudo database of files.
    Here is the webpage I have been working on:http://huichawaii.org/
    Here is what I have done to show files so far:
    old version:http://huichawaii.org/proceedings---2012-education%2c-math---engineering-technology.html
    new version: http://huichawaii.org/ahs2013-proceedings.html
    The website works best in Chrom or Firefox, still have to convert the flash header to an edge animate .
    Mahalo in advance for everyone's input!

    Depending on what other text you might have, you could use the data list component.
    To get the text to have underlines, you will need to edit the repeated item. You can also adjust colors and fonts as well. The default rollover and selected states will probably not be the UI that want, so make sure you change those as well.
    Now for the interactivity, select the datalist, and use the interactions panel, choose "On Select", then "Go To Url", the trick is to make sure the "When a specific item is selected" is also set. Here are the basic settings to get your links working:
    Add new interactions for each item you want to be functional.

    Backup with cloning software your HD to have an exact copy of it as it is.

  • Best setup for a non-Mac file server?

    I have a dual xeon server, with a SATA RAID5 I want to use as a file server in a cross-platform environment.
    *What I've tried and the issues...*
    At first I considered using Windows 2003 (Win2k3) but Services for Macintosh (SFM) is an older version of AFP and thus only supports 31 character filenames. With all our Macs supporting SMB/Samba/CIFS and Apple touting that "Macs and PCs can co-exist harmoniously on the same network" I figured I would give that a try.
    SMB doesn't work.
    Sure I can create a connection, but transferring files is a completely different story. I'm trying to backup application and system data, but companies such as Adobe and Apple have named some of their files with special characters that can't be transferred over SMB. I know NTFS doesn't support these characters, but I though a Linux box using SMB would work fine. It doesn't. It's the protocol which keeps me from transferring the data. I end up with the lovely error message of "You cannot copy some of these items to the destination because their names are too long or contain invalid characters for the destination..." (what's sad is, if you google for " because their names are too long or contain invalid characters for the destination" you only get 6 results.)
    So I thought I would give NFS a try. Apple says "Viewed from Mac OS X, [connecting via NFS] is just like connecting to an Apple or Windows server." No. It's not. NFS shares don't even show up in the Finder's Network listing. There are also a pile of other hurdles which are only tackled by savvy, command-line using users.
    So that leaves me with AFP. Win2k3 doesn't support filenames longer than 31 characters, and Win2k8 is dropping SFM altogether. Off to choose a *nix flavor, but that requires Netatalk. It hasn't been updated in years, it has many bad performance reviews... and most distros have removed it. I can download and install it. Oh, but that requires I get the kernel source files. Then I have to create an RPM an that's not working... now I'm several levels deep in trying to figure out how to get Netatalk working and I'm not even sure it will work.
    *What's the best setup for a non-Mac file server?*
    FreeNAS seems promising, but it's in alpha/beta and they have all sorts of warnings regarding potential data loss. Sure there's ExtremeZ-IP, but I really don't want to spend $675 do something Apple claims OS X can already do. I can put just about any non-Mac OS on this thing... what's the best way to set it up so it works?
    Thanks much.

    Rick may be right because although i didnt think of it before i tend to have notoriuosly long classnames for my php classes and i have used samba on occasion (when rsync is out of the question for one reason or another) and never had a problem. I use kubuntu (feisty at the moment )with an ext3 filesystem. if i have a chance this evening ill give it a try and see what happens.
    You could also possibly use FUSE to use an ssh filesystem for the shares... i don tknow how that would figure in your back up though.
    Also if worse comes to worse you could tar or dmg the the necessary files... just some thoughts.
    Ill be interested to know what you end up implementing....
    OH one last thought... Compile Darwin from source and use that as your server

  • TS2570 Boot or Restore, can't see my Mac partition but can see my Windows7 partition. From Windows I can access my Mac files which I've backed up on a NTFS drive. I most probably will need to erase the Mac partition & make a new one, what happens to Boot

    Hi,
    When I boot my 2010 MacBook Pro I get a gray screen, when I try to do a Restore, the Mac partition is nowhere in sight, it sees my Windows Partition.
    When I in Windows I can see all the files in the Mac Partition and I've backed up my Mac files on a NTFS external drive. My Windows partition has been working fine, I've installed it 2 years ago and have been receiving regular updates. Only problem is my display driver crashes occasionally.
    I most probably will have to recreate the Mac partition and re-install Mountain Lion from the Mac servers. BUT, what happens to Boot Camp and my Windows 7 partition?
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Unfortunately, there is no way to expand the partition upwards. As you noted, you would need to either start afresh, or simply find a good use for the first partition.

  • Problem when saving a PowerPoint 2008 for Mac file to PDF.

    When I save my PowerPoint 2008 for Mac file as a PDF, the text/font comes out wrong in the PDF -- kind of looks degraded (thinner, darker, more pixilated). I've tried changing the font in the PowerPoint file many times and tried saving it as a PDF both directly and through print -- but each time the text/font doesn't come through correctly in the PDF.  The images/photos in the PowerPoint file all convert to the PDF just fine.  Can anyone help?

  • Ps CS6 Problem: Pixels put in Mac file icon have not been converted to the profile of the icon

    Pixels put in a Mac file icon image have not been converted to the colour profile of the icon image.
    For example, when ProPhoto or Adobe RGB pixels are put in an icon image with no profile or "Generic RGB" profile, the result is a washed-out appearance to the icon.
    Apple recommends sRGB (PNG) images in icons. Adobe, please comply with that.
    Edit: I realise that CS5.1 did the same as CS6.

    Makes you wonder whether the person who programmed the icon generating code...  Nah, I won't say it.    Down boy.

  • No longer able to follow local file links.

    In previous versions of firefox ( 28 and Earlier ) I was able to follow local file links by whitelisting them in the user preferences file as shown here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Links_to_local_pages_do_not_work
    This functionality has ceased to work with the update.

    You might find a similar bug already posted, but if not, sure, others are going to have the issue.
    I guess one question is implementation. What mechanism is replacing capability preferences? If there isn't something that general purpose, what kind of site-level permission could be relevant?
    And if the need is not clear, what are the use cases for http:// to file:// access that the developers need to consider? Or is it for file:// to file:// access that's most critical?

  • Issue with opening PDF file link from Safari

    Hi Everyone,
    I got a problem with opening PDF file link from Safari 4.04. Instead of getting a normal pdf content, it shows some weird characters. Not sure it is something wrong with Adobe Reader Plugin or Safari?
    I have uploaded a screenshot of the issue in the adobe forum (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/531870). Please help!
    Many Thanks,
    John

    There's nothing wrong, except the fact that you have Adobe Reader installed. You don't need it, so get rid of it; it will only cause problems with Safari. What you're seeing is the contents of the PDF file, rather than having it displayed.
    If you want to download a PDF file, you can either Control-click on the link and choose "Download Linked File As…", or you can Option-click on the link for the file and it will be downloaded to your Download folder (usually your Desktop).
    If you want to view a PDF file in Safari, you don't need Adobe Reader; Safari is perfectly capable of doing this by itself and has been for years. Adobe Reader will only get in the way and slow everything down.

  • Network and 'file:///' links do not open after upd...

    In older versions of Skype we could use links like:
    file:///C:/Users/Dmitry/Pictures/CloudShot/shot_150228_130027.png
    \\m1fsg1.msk\share\AT\F1\ScreenShots\shot_150227_172758.jpg
    After major update (version with new UI) these links doesn't anymore =(
    'file:\\\' links are not even highlighted anymore, netwok links are highligted but not working either. See image below with URL samples:
    Is there soluiton for that?

    Possibly a result of using a different home page, I use my own home page and have not seen any difference in regards links opening within the same tab, another tab, or another window in conversion from Firefox 3.6.17 to Firefox 4.0.1
    Generally you would have your Tools > Options > Tabs set up to open New Windows in New Tabs instead. You would have Google open links in a New Window which equates then to a new tab (but the same new tab each time).
    You can change your settings for Google searches at the top of a Google search results page "Search Settings". Stored in cookies or at Google, you may have to set up separately for logged in and not logged in to Google.
    Did you have extensions to work with Google, they may not work anymore, check them out carefully. "Google Optimizer", "Optimize Google" both no good to me, but I can use "Google Enhancer" and "Adblock Plus" to do what those did for me.
    These are options for Tabs that I have that differ from the default,
    * |browser.tabs.closeButtons| 3|
    * |browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab| false|
    * |browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent| false|
    * |browser.tabs.loadFolderAndReplace| false|
    * |browser.tabs.loadGroup| 0|
    * |browser.tabs.loadInBackground| false|
    * |browser.tabs.loadOnNewTab| 1|
    * |browser.tabs.openinnewtab| true
    * |browser.tabs.tabClipWidth| 5|
    * |browser.tabs.tabMinWidth| 0|
