RDP file won't open on Mac with double click

Hi
We have sort of created our own RDP Gateway and this used to work fine on Mac's double click the RDP file and this automatically opened Microsoft Desktop App and you could login in once entering username and password. Since the last couple of updates to
RDP App it doesn't work when double clicking the RDP downloaded file, it works if I import it into the RDP App and start it but not when I double click it.
This is obviously causing an issue with quite a few users and causing our number of support calls to increase dramatically.

Hi,
I would like to check if PROTOCOL X’s method works for you.
Thanks.

Pdf files won't open on Mac

I have a Mac, OS X, 10.9.4. I recently downloaded the newest version of Adobe Reader 11.0.09 and installed it. I left my computer before the installation was completed, and it turns out it wanted me to close Firefox. I did, but it was the next day. The installation finished, but maybe a little weirdly -- I don't remember. Now, certain .pdf files (that I have opened many times in the past) won't open. The adobe page opens, with the filename at the top, and the page blank below, then the page disappears after a couple of seconds. Some .pdf files open fine. All files will open with Preview. I think I need to reinstall Adobe Reader, but don't know how. If I try to download and install, it says my version is up-to-date. Please help.

Removing Adobe Reader XI basic files from Mac OS X
*Note: These steps are for a machine that ONLY has Adobe Reader installed.
1. In the Finder, go to the "Go" menu item (Command + Shift + G)
2. Type this: /Applications/
3. Select the Adobe Reader application
4. Control + Click or Right-Mouse Click the Adobe Reader application and select "Move to Trash"
5. In the Finder, go to the "Go" menu item (Command + Shift + G)
6. Type this: /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
7. Select the file "AdobePDFViewer.plugin"
8. Control + Click or Right-Mouse Click the "AdobePDFViewer.plugin" and select "Move to Trash"
9. In the authentication window with the text "Finder wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this", provide your administrator password.
10. Select the file "AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin"
11. Control + Click or Right-Mouse Click the "AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin" and select "Move to Trash"
12. In the authentication window with the text "Finder wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this", provide your administrator password.
13. In the Finder, go to the "Go" menu item (Command + Shift + G)
14. Type this: /Users/[YOUR_USERNAME]/Library/Preferences/
15. Select the file "com.adobe.Reader.plist"
16. Control + Click or Right-Mouse Click the "com.adobe.Reader.plist" and select "Move to Trash"
** This gets rid of the BASIC items that Adobe Reader installs. There are other files that can be removed and I'll put them in after this notation, but this should be sufficient. Reboot the machine at this point to make sure everything is cleared from memory and then download the Adobe Reader installer.
Good Luck!
If you want to completely remove Adobe Reader and the user specific files then proceed with this caveat and warning:
***WARNING***
THESE NEXT STEPS WILL REMOVE ALL PREVIOUS ADOBE READER AND ADOBE ACROBAT USER SPECIFIC PREFERENCES INCLUDING DIGITAL SIGNATURE CERTIFICATES, SEQUENCES, JAVASCRIPTS, ACTIONS, SHARED REVIEW ENTRIES IN THE TRACKER, CUSTOM STAMPS AND MORE. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE ABOUT REMOVING THIS FILES DO NOT PROCEED.
***WARNING***
17 . In the Finder, go to the "Go" menu item (Command + Shift + G)
18. Type this: /Users/[YOUR USERNAME]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/
19. Select the folder "Acrobat"
20. Control + Click or Right-Mouse Click the "Acrobat" and select "Move to Trash"

RTF files won't open; Icons replaced with dotted rectangles in Finder

Hello all, I am trying to troubleshoot a friend's computer. She uses TextEdit to take notes and saves her files as RTFs. A while ago she complained that one of her textfiles wouldn't open, even though she could see the file in the Open dialog in TextEdit. However, the file as it appears in the Open dialog does not have the traditional RTF icon. It is replaced with a dotted rectangle. This error happened again a few days ago.
The problem has only occurred with a few text files. Others work.
Here are a couple of screenshots:

Thanks. That seems to have fixed it. I logged out and then logged in to a different account. The problem wasn't there and I could open the files. Then I logged out and then back into my original account and the problem had been fixed there as well. Thanks so much for your invauable help and quick responses.

SQL file will not open in SSMS on double-click (or jump list)

Hello, all.
I am running SQL Server Management Studio 2008 on a Windows 7 Enterprise machine here at work. I am not sure when this started happening, but now, for some reason, when I double-click on a SQL file in Explorer, or from the jump list for SSMS (which
I have pinned to my Windows 7 task bar), SSMS will open, but will not load the file in question, nor will it bring up a logon screen to connect to a DB. I tried unassociating the .SQL extension and then re-associating it using "Open With" and it worked
the first time (from the Open With), but then immediately reverted back to its old behavior. Very annoying.
For now I just open SSMS first (which pops up a logon screen and things proceed normally), but that kind of defeats the purpose of having a jump list or a file association. Has anybody run into this before and can anybody suggest a fix or what's
wrong?
Thanks in advance for any wisdom anyone can provide.

Hi Mike,
I can provide solution if you can tell me the registry value(HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\sqlwb.sql.9.0\Shell\Open\Command). I believe there is an extra %1 which is causing this.

Hey Mike,

Change that to

(add %1 and that should fix this forever)

Keynote file will not open on Mac with older version.

I write presentations at home (Mac OSX 10.9.4 with Keynote 5.3 (1170) - iMac Desktop
and I play them at my retail store (Mac OSX 10.4.11 with Keynote 5.03 (791) - MacMini
I must have automatically let the computer at home upgrade Keynote and now the file I have spent hours on will not open at work. <banging head on desk>.
The error I get is "unable to open because this is not a valid keynote document".
My Mac Mini says everything is up to date so I don't believe I can update anymore. I do believe i have an iWork disc somewhere and I guess I could try and go BACK on my iMac, but I am not even sure how to do that without goofing up my entire computer.
Ideas?

I do believe i have an iWork disc somewhere and I guess I could try and go BACK on my iMac
Unless you have manually deleted Keynote 5, it is retained in the Applications folder in iWorks 09 folder.
If it is no longer installed, use the install discs to re-install and follow the onscreen instructions.

SQL file does not open in Mac with SQL Developer

Hi,
I have my .sql extension files in mac associated with SQL Developer, but when I open the file SQL Developer does not start; nothing happens.
I checked all the associations and it seems correct.
Any suggestion?
Thanks,

.wmv files won't open when downloaded with Safari

Recently bought this MacBook. It has Safari 3.2.3. When I download any .wmv file, the icon is a blank page icon and opens with textedit, not QuickTime or QuickTime Pro, even though the extension is .wmv. The .wmv files download properly with other browsers I have tried. I am hesitant to upgrade Safari to 4.0.3 due to the many posts of all the problems it seems to have. (I still have an unresolved issue with Safari on my other Mac after I updated.)
The message I get is "The file could not be opened. The file is not a movie file."
Anyone have an idea?

Hello William:
Download the free copy of Flip4Mac:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx
That product allows one to see .wmv files using Quicktime.
I am hesitant to upgrade Safari to 4.0.3 due to the many posts of all the problems it seems to have.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with Safari 4.0.3 (that I am aware of). There have been very few posts about problems, actually. The problems that have been posted almost always are specific to an individual configuration. For perspective, this user-to-user forum is for people who have problems. As a comparison, if you went to a hospital and extrapolated, you would think the whole world was sick.

MPG file won't open on Mac

I have a large mpg file (400 mb) that runs fine on my PC laptop but I get the error:
QuickTime cannot open the file: "neurotoxicology.mpg"
it is not a file that QuickTime understands (-2048)
on my Mac.
I upgraded to QuickTime Pro, with no improvement. Is there a codec I can download to fix this, and if so, how would it be installed?
Is there a better player our there for mpg files?

there is a programm out there called "mpeg streamclip". do a google search for it.
its free and it will play mpgs. it will also allow you to convert them to just about anything. imovie native format is DV25. convert to DV and select that option. it even breaks it up into the size files that imovie likes. (about 9min chunks).
cheers,

Office for Windows files won't open on mac

Why won't Word documents and Excel files created on a Windows machine open on my new MacBook Air? I never had this problem on my old MacBook Air. I'm running Mavericks and all software up to date.

I am running Office 365 and yes it all works fine other than this specific problem. I have a machine that was used by another employee for 6 months. It was wiped clean and set back to factory conditions according to the IT group and then set up for me. I transferred all my files from my old Mac Air to this one through an external hard drive. Those open fine. All files have extenders based on the vintage; doc and docx, xls and xlsx. Denise has a company Dell and a personal iMAC. Denise can open the files on either machine at home. She copied all files to a flash drive (from the Dell) and I loaded them onto my Mac. I was able to open one of the docx files in text edit and then close (not save) it. It will now open in Word. But this didn't work on any of the others.

PDF won't open on Mac with Adobe Reader Error message:Adobe Reader could not open

I have Adobe Reader 10.1.3 for Mac, (10.7.3) and am having problems opening pdfs. I get an error message: Adobe Reader could not open file name.pdf because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded). The files are not from emails, but are from websites, government sites, professional organizations etc.) Help! Adobe is no help!

Manually download the files to your computer (right-click on the url). When the file is downloaded to your computer do you get the same message when you try to open in Reader through the File->Open menu? What about when you open the file in Mac's Preview application?

After Effects Windows 64 bit file won't open on Mac!

I have CC on a Windows 7 (64 bit) system and on a MAC OSX Snow Leopard, 2.66 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo Version 10.6.8 and when attempting to open a Windows created After Effects file on the MAC got the "Can't open 64 bit version 12.2 file on this Mac" message. What to I have to do to make them compatible? I wasn't told this when I signed up!

Your answer is either to upgrade your Mac's OS or to save the CC file as a CS6 file. (Which is possible according to this list.)

Some Excel (.xls) files won't open

Hi,
I have Microsoft 2004 for Mac.
I found much to my dismay that two important Excel files on my computer won't open. When I double click on them, the normal loading window shows very briefly (the window says: Opening XXX.xls; Press Command + to Cancel), and then nothing happens - the file is not open. Double clicking it again produces the same results. I tried to open the files from the File-Open menu. It did not work.
All the other Excel files on my computer open normally (well I did not check every one of them; but for those which I did check anyway). The two problematic files are in the same folder.
The latest updates for Microsoft 2004 have been installed.
There is no special setting for the two files in question (like permission settings).
I tried to move the files to a different location of my computer and opened them from there - did not work.
There is nothing wrong with the file naming.
And when I sent the problematic files to my own gmail and tried to open the files from gmail (click view on the attachment file), I was able to open the files successfully from there.
Any ideas as to what is happening, and how to fix the problem?
Thank you very much!

Ok, I figured it out. Contrary to what I stated in the post, the software is not up to date. So I proceeded to update the software and the problem went away. The problematic files now can be opened.

Premiere Pro 4 File Won't Open

Hi all
I have an adobe premiere pro file that won't open. When I double click on it, the load project bar gets to about four fiths of the way, then it just stops. The last time I saved the file, I saved it to my computer, then I saved it to a portable hard drive to back it up (around four minutes later). Both versions of the file won't open. The previous file will open, but I have done 30 hours more work since then (on the new file). I thought it was enough to be saving every few minutes, saving back ups to a portable hard drive... I also have a raid 1 configuration! I was never expecting this. When I leave the Premiere Pro on the Load Project screen, it stays there for hours.
If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi John
Thanks for getting back to me. I just looked in autosave. The file that won't open was last saved at 11:02pm on the 16th. There was an autosave project at 10.25pm on the 16th, and that wouldn't open either (it crashes at exactly the same place as the other one). However, there was an autosave file at 6:17pm on the 16th that would open. Curious though, it doesn't seem to have a lot of the changes I thought I had made by this time. It seems to be earlier than this (although perhaps my memory isn't serving me correctly). Should there be more autosaves that this? I had the program open pretty much that whole time, and nothing between 6:17 and 10:25.
Anyway, that's a start! Something must have happened between 6.17pm and 10.25pm that'd made the file go kaput. I would love to know what, so I can avoid this happening again. First things first though, it'd be fantastic to get the file that isn't opening working.
Thanks for your swift response too, Jim. I opened PP and tried to open the file from the interface. The load project bar stopped at the same place. I can open other projects fine. As to your last suggestion, I created a new project, and went to File/Import then clicked on the file in question. It started importing, then the progress bar froze at exactly the same place. I'm not sure if I did this correctly. Is there another way to import a PP file into an existing PP?
Thanks again for your time. It's just nice to speak to someone about this because I really freaked out when it happened.

I just used stellar phoenix mac data recovery and it seemed to work but now my files won't open. Even though they are "jpeg, mov" files the error message is could not be opened. The movie's file format isn't recognized. " Any help or are they corrupted

I just used stellar phoenix mac data recovery and it seemed to work but now my files won't open. Even though they are "jpeg, mov" files, the error message is "could not be opened". The movie's file format isn't recognized. " Any help or are they corrupted?

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.

I can't export my video which contains only photos, sound tracks nor play it in fullscreen iMovie it shuts down. And now my whole file won't open at all it'll open with nothing inside ??

I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?
I am running Yosemitie on a iMac.
