PDF is changing all my pdf documents into a word document - My boss sent me a pdf email through outlook and when I try to open it changes to a word document Help this is so frustrating

Hi tinam74565130,
That does sound frustrating! It sounds as though the filename associations have become confused on your computer. You should be able to reset that easily. Here are some instructions:

hi when i open my application folder, all the application is shown in trash folder. when i click the application it says this app is in trash first move it out. and when i try to open through finder> go it says this file doesn't exist. can some1 plz help? how can i put all my application through application folder?

Something really odd is going on. In your first screen shot, I noticed that the Applications folder does not have the proper icon displayed in the side bar. Also, in the title bar it lists it as Applications 08-59-29-909.
Not sure where it's picking up that odd name, unless it's because it's still truly within the Trash folder.
Try this. In the Finder > Preferences > General > turn on "Always open folders in a new window". (I have a feeling you have the default setting with this off).
Now, in Finder > Go > move down and open the Applications Folder from there. Now open the folder where you see all your applications that you show in your screen shot, select all, and move them to this true appliactions folder.
This is what you should properly seeing (but with different apps listed):
See how the Applications folder has the icon of the letter A shaped with a pencil, ruler & pen.

In pages I have the new logo and when I try to open a document it says I need an update to open. My computer says pages has been updated. Any suggestions?

I am unable to open certain documents in Pages. A number of documents in Pages have the new logo and when I try to open it, I am prompted to update, yet my computer says Pages update is installed. Not sure how to get around this? Thanks

You are not on OSX 10.7.4, you are on OSX 10.9.
You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
The newer Pages 5 in your Applications folder which can open the older Pages '09 but frequently alters/damages the file.
The older Pages '09 in your Applications/iWork folder which can not open the newer Pages 5 files.
You appear to be alternately opening one or the other.
Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5.

Best is to archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting its files back to Pages '09 versions, then rate/review it in the App Store, and get back to work.

I recently downloaded the latest version of Adobe Reader and when I try to open a new pdf I get the Adobe logo and text in Japanese and the pdf doesn't open. Any help would be appreciated.

I recently downloaded the latest version of Adobe Reader for my MacBook Air and now when I try to open a new pdf I get the Adobe logo and text in Japanese and nothing else. The pdf doesn't open. Any suggestions? I never had this problem until my cache was cleared and I had to re-install Adobe Reader. Any help would be appreciated.

Just to say I am having exactly the same issue on my MacBook Air. I can't remember what I did but after this happened a few times, and once I had clicked on the Japanese pop up, I managed to do something that now means I get the pop up in English, saying 'Adobe Reader blocked for this website'. When I click on it it asks me to trust the content and then I get a bar with the text in Japanese. Eventually the pdf does open. However it's very irritating that I have to trust every pdf individually which I never had to do before the latest upgrade, and I don't understand why I get messages in Japanese. I will be interested to see whatever answers other more technical people may provide!

I use CS6 and when I try to open a ai file from later version I'm told i must select a page from the PDF to open?

I am following tutorials in Adobe Illustrator CC Classroom in a Book, but I use CS6. How can I open the lesson files to display correctly?

I'm having further problems when I open these CC ai lesson files.
All the swatches disappear.
I had not realized there would be such compatibility issues between CS6 and CC.
Yes I am warned when opening files craeted with later versions that there might be some "data loss" but this seems beyond reasonable?

I've just updated to Firefox 3.6.2 and when I try to open it all I get is a blank page which says Service Unavailable, try again later.

There are no more details. That's exactly what happens.

I have the same problem. I have never had a problem with Firefox before, and use it as my main browser. However recently, after updating to 3.6.8, its been crashing all the time. Up to 20 times an hour. Usually it occurs when I click a link from a Google search, or in Yahoo. Even if I send in a crash report and restart Firefox, it crashes as soon as the same page is brought back up, or the same link is clicked. I have also had it crash when completely idle. Its very frustrating as it is my favorite browser. I've resorted to using Google Chrome for the time being.

I install adobe acrobat 7.0 in windows 8.1 and when I try to open it I get "application was unable to start correctly (0xc00000fd) click OK to close application". This is a new computer and all other software works fine.

Any one run across this?

Hi econj,
As Acrobat 7 is not supported by Windows 8, you might need to update the supported Adobe Acrobat version.
Please navigate to the KB doc link given below to understand the system requirements for Acrobat 7.0:
System requirements for Acrobat Professional 7.0, Standard 7.0, 3D and Elements 7.0 (Mac, Windows and Unix for 3D only)

I try to save a document, when I try to open it later it opens in Mail as a letter to write and send. I cannot open the saved document.

When I click save for a document it goes to Mail and when I try to open it it opens as a fill in letter to be sent. Why does it go to Mail? Why can it not be opened?

In Finder, do a Get Info on that file, (CMD+i), look for open With line, what does it say there for an App?

I downloaded a zip file, but when I try to open it it just turns into a smaller zip file. Am I doing something wrong?

I downloaded a large zip file and when I try to open it it just turns into a smaller zip file without opening. Am I doing something wrong?

Have you tried the Unarchiver or Stuffit Expander?

All website PDF s disappear when I try to open. They go somewhere.Where and Why?

All website PDF s disappear when I try to open. They go somewhere.Where and Why? A green arrow shows.

Current Firefox versions have enabled a built-in PDF Viewer that doesn't have all features that other PDF readers like the Adobe Reader have or may not function properly otherwise.
You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use another application like the Adobe Reader or set to Always Ask in "Firefox > Options/Preferences > Applications".
You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the build-in PDF viewer.
You can check the value of the plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types pref on the about:config page and remove the application/pdf part if present or reset the pref to the default via the right-click context menu if you want to display PDF documents in Firefox with another application (i.e. not the built-in PDF Viewer).
