Problem opening downloaded files

I have previously asked for help with this problem and received several suggestions that did not work. I now have more information that may provide a clue. I have the same version (34.0.5) on my win8 pc and it works fine. Also I recently restored mty win7 pc to factory configuration (new pc status).

HT1338 I have a problem with opening downloaded files from the internet; zip types. Can you tell me an app to open these types of formats of files?

It should unzip if you double-cick.
What are you seeing happen when you do that?
Select a .zip file in the Finder and Get Info (cmd-i). What is set for it to Open With. It should be Archive Utility.

I'm having a problem opening my files -..

I'm having a problem opening my files …..for example if i want to download something off the internet and run it after it always opens in Textedit which is annoying…..other programs open fine which are dmg but the exe files won't run….i need help

If you are in fact running Mac OS 9 or earlier, which is from 2001 or earlier, .dmg files are disk image files like the .smi files used under Mac OS 9, but they are only Mac OS X compatible. They are frequently used to store Mac OS X only installer disk image files. .exe files are are Windows and MS-DOS executable files which can only run with Windows or DOS virtualization:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2741
Most Mac OS 9 programs you'll be able to download either have a .sea, .sit, or .hqx suffix in their file name and are able to be opened with the old Mac OS 9 copy of Stuffit Expander.
If you are using another operating system, please go to Apple menu -> About this Mac and tell us what you are running. You posted to the Mac OS 9 forum, hence my response. If there is an X in the name, you posted to the wrong forum, and I'll have this post redirected and try to answer if I have time.

Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem

Problem opening .dmg files?

Hi all,
I've recently been having problems opening .dmg files -- specifically for a recent Adobe update, and the latest VLC update.
Checking with their support, it seems that it's not a problem that others are experiencing.
I get the following message:
I'm on the 2007 27" iMac, with my OS (SL) being up to date.
Any suggestions?
Thx!

Could be either.
Check out your own stuff as far as you can. Your router diagnostics page should be able to tell you what sort of download speed you're getting, or you can use SpeedTest http://speedtest.net/
Check your phone line from the main terminal to the router for loose connections, kinks that may be hiding broken wires and such. Check or replace the line filter that seperates the modem line from the phone.
Then get your ISP to check out their end, and the phone company likewise.
Hope you can find the source.

Trouble Opening Downloaded Files

My wife has a Mac Book using OS X v10.4 (which is why I'm here) with a 1,83 GHz intel core duo. The problem is that she is unable to open downloaded files. The software updater has a long list of suggestions and after she downloads the files (the new java release 8) the installation process starts and hen abruptly quits. I tried to solve that problem by re-downloading release 7 but the same error occurred (the release 7.pkg file was not in the library but the 5 and 6 pkg files were).
And... she recently purchased Office 2008 for Mac and that won't load either. Coincidence? Or some related problems? She is already on her second hard drive and I am hoping that isn't the problem.
Help!! Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi Escubed, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Tiger Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it finishes.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, or things don't load/run, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates again, or even do an A&I if you have enough free disk space.
The combo update for PowerPC-based Macs...

The combo update for Intel-based Macs...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateintel.html
Repair Permissions before & after re-install, then reboot again each time.
If all the above fails, then it appears to be time for a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...

Problem opening PDF files for Adobe Reader

Problem opening PDF files for Adobe Reader.
I installed the latest adobe reader for my Mac. Everything is set up. Every time i go to open a pdf file, this shows up...
"Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch adobe reader and accept the End User Licence Agreement, then quit and relaunch the browser."
I installed it through the adobe reader website for free. And even though it says 'by clicking "install now" you are agreeing to accept the user licence agreement terms and conditions' it still says i need to accept the T&C's.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it and same thing over and over again.
Can someone help!?!?!
Please contact me via email direct ASAP at....

Thank you

Did you actually try doing what the message suggests? Open Adobe Reader and accept the EULA?

How to open downloaded files?

Just picked up a Nokia lumia 822 and was wondering how to open downloaded files? Through IE it appears i can only stream a media file and now download it. Through UC Browser it says its downloaded but seems to only let me stream it. I want to download a song and add it to my music library, is that even possible? Are there any 3rd party file manager apps?

The easiest way to browse your phone is to connect it to a pc with a usb cable. The phone then becomes like a usb drive and you can then drag and drop your media files as required.

Problems opening .pdf files created in Windows in MAC

My clients that are using Macs are having problems opening password protected PDFs that I created in Windows. Any suggestions?

Are your clients using Adobe Reader on Mac, or the built-in Mac OS Preview? Preview does NOT support the full PDF standard :(.

Problems opening pdf-files from KM of portal

Hi,
we store documents in our portal in KM. When I use pdf-files that where not saved with Office2007 tools I get the problem, that I can open the file once. If I open it the second time I get the error message "file doesn't start with "%PDF-". and the file will not be opend. If I delete the temporary files in the internet explorer, the file can be opended, again.
If I open the file directly in the internet explorer I don't have those problems, so it seems, that the portal uses a different viewer than the internet explorer itself.
Has anyone an idea how to solve this problem?
Regards
Ulrike

Ulrike,
I think this is a known issue.
Affected versions:
o KMC SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (formerly named 2004s) SP 14
o KMC SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (formerly named 2004s) SP 15
If you have the above KMC and SP Versions then you need to follow the below SAP note:
Note 1146711 - Problem opening PDF files.
Have you checked the belowSAP Note?
Note 954627 - Issues with opening/displaying PDF files from KM

Open downloaded file

Hi guys ,
i want to open downloaded file in my report.
In my report we have provided two option.
one is to download file and
second one is to open file after download .
For the downloading i am using gui_donwload function module but i don't know how to do second option.
Thanks,
Jack

Hi.
If you want to open it in notepad for example you can do like this:
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_EXEC'
EXPORTING
     command = 'NOTEPAD'
     parameter = 'C:ptdebug.txt'
* IMPORTING
*    RETURNCODE = .
Or if you want to use classes instead you can do like this:
CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>execute
EXPORTING
    document               = 'C:ptdebug.txt'
    operation              = 'OPEN'
EXCEPTIONS
    cntl_error             = 1
    error_no_gui           = 2
    bad_parameter          = 3
    file_not_found         = 4
    path_not_found         = 5
    file_extension_unknown = 6
    error_execute_failed   = 7
    synchronous_failed     = 8
    not_supported_by_gui   = 9
    OTHERS                 = 10.

I cannot open downloaded files. The "Open" & "Open Containing Folder" options are grayed out, as well as the "Open" option. I have removed Kaspersky to sure.

I cannot open downloaded files. The "Open" & "Open Containing Folder" options are grayed out. Cannot right-click on the files to open. File does not appear in the targeted folder. If "opened," the files provide an error message. Issue is primarily with MS Word.

If "Open" and "Open Containing Folder" in the right-click context menu in the Download Manager window are grayed then that means that the file is no longer in the original download location.<br />
It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.<br />
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.<br />
See "Disable virus scanning in Firefox preferences - Windows"
