Safari downloads but can't open dowloaded file

I am a brand new Mac user. I have been reading posts and posts but can't seem to figure out my problem. I will try to download video content or download a software but after the file is downloaded, when trying to retrieve file an error msg keeps appearing "safari can't open because no program associated". In my preferences, its downloading to desktop and I have tried downloading to other applications ie quicktime (but says quicktime error reading files). I can't seem to open any downloads at all....for example i am downloading flash player for macs but i keep getting that safari error message, help??

you might need stuffit expander or maybe since safari is showng that message somehow maybe your primary installer got corrupt i would try an archive and install because that message is odd but first try to download stuffit if it wont download then somethings corrupt and if you call apple theyll just tell you to archive and install with a problem like this

Users can see, but can't open image files

We store all of our digital photos (jpg's) on an Xserve RAID attached to an Xserve.
Twice in the last 3 weeks I have started getting calls from staff members to tell me that they can see the files but can't open them.
The jpg files aren't recognized.
If I click on a file from my iMac I get the following message:
"Couldn't open the file. It may be corrupt or a file format that preview doesn't recognize."
If I reboot the server. The problem goes away. The files aren't corrupt and people can access them again. I saw this three weeks and then again today, so it's not like it happens every day.
Even though I connect from a Mac, most of my users are Windows users connecting via Samba.
We are using RAID Admin: 1.5 and Firmware ver.: 1.5-1.5.xfb
Mac OSX Server is 10.4.1
Any ideas why this happens?

Does the same thing happen with files that are on the local drive? That would be the first thing I'd check.
Any reason you're running 10.4.1 server and not 10.4.3? There were tons of fixes in 10.4.2 and 10.4.3 around the file system... I'd recommend the update strongly.

I can see thumbnail but can't open psd file,photoshop 7

I have no idea to what is going on, but I did all this work and now that I try to reopen the psd file, I can't.
I don't see anything, no layer, no photo nothing.
I am using window xp. got the scratch setup on an external drive with plenty of space. got 4gof memory and plenty of processing power.
once again I can see the thumbnail but can't open the psd file.
Thank you for your help.

I got it to work. I think my main problem was since my psd file crashed I was using existing pdf to save as psd. well that didn't go well with photoshop. Plus the fact my scratch was in an external location. Once I recreated the drawing and installed an additional hard-drive where I relocated the scratch file I was set to go. I now can save and reopen the file with no issues.
I would like to thank everyone who helped me with this issue.

I download but can't open CS6 Extended

I use a Windows 7 laptop. I purchased CS6 Extended Student edition a few days ago and was having problems obtaining the serial number. Once this was sorted I was told that I need to download the trial first. When I try and download the first file (Photoshop_13_LS16.7z) it downloads fully but says it can't be opened.
It then tells me that I can either use a program on my computer to download it or use one from the internet. I don't understand why it won't just open the file upon completion. I can't open the second file as I need the other file downloaded first. I am downloading from http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/cs6-product-downloads.html which I was provided with.
I really need the software up and running for my university work, and this is really holding me up as I don't know what to do.

you need to download both files, the exe and the 7z. place them both in the same folder and when downloading of both is complete click (or double click) the exe, not the 7z.

I saved web page as html file, but can't open saved file as web page

I did a FILE, SAVE PAGE AS, then chose 'WEB PAGE COMPLETE' - and a directory is created on my hard drive - with the directory name, for example - "c:\....\Ask a Question _ Mozilla Support.htm". (for this web page).
When I try to open the saved web page from Firefox, using FILE, OPEN, I see a new window that looks like a file manager window, I then select that saved .html file and click OPEN, and a new window opens that looks like file manager - displaying with all the files in that directory - "Ask a Question _ Mozilla Support.htm". That is, it does not open and dislpay the web page as I expect it should (that I saved earlier).
However, if I go to the file manager, I can see that directory is saved, and has the Windows Explorer icon associated with the directory "ask a question ....html", and also has a file type of HTML listed. If I double click that directory in file manager, Windows Explorer will open that directory and dis[play it as a web page, as I expected.
I would like to know why Firefox does not open the directory name as a web page from the FILE, OPEN command, but instead shows me the directory contents(all the files in that directory)?
BTW, if I try FILE, OPEN, using Windows Explorer the same thing happens - it opens a new window listing all the files in that directory.
Is this the way the FILE, OPEN is supposed to work?
It seems confusing, because if I am in any other program, for example WinWord, and do a FILE, OPEN command on a Word file, it opens the file as a Word Document - it does not just show the file in a "file manager window.
But when I click FILE, OPEN on an HTML file(directory using Firefox, it does not open that html directory as a web page?

I am in the Windows Explorer 'Details' view, and I see the folder with 'Type' of FILE FOLDER. In that folder are all the .js and .css and .png files - as cor-el said.
''But now I also see'' that there is also an htm file - ''with the exact same name ''as the folder, but it has a 'Type' of 'HTML Document'. When I have Firefox do a File, Open on the HTML Document - it does open the web page that I saved and does display it as a web page.
I did not realize that Firefox saves both:
1) a Directory '''(Type 'File Folder') '''''', and,
2) an html file''' (Type 'HTML Document')
... '''and that they are the exact same names! '''
I was clicking on the wrong one! Instead of clicking in the .html file, I was incorrectly clicking on the folder!
(The archive add on looks interesting, but shouldn't I be able to open the saved web page, from the browser, using File, Open File) ?

I can download but can't open the download and/or install. Why?

The download window indicates that the file or page or installation has loaded but it won't show the file at the top of the download page so that I can go ahead and open it. What can I do?

Perform the suggestions mentioned in the following articles:
* [[Unable to download or save files]]
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_save_or_download_files
Check and tell if its working.

Transferred backup file from old to new laptop but can't open backup file in new iTunes

Hi
I've purchased the new iPhone 5, however, it won't allow me to backup from my iTunes from my old laptop (where my 4S's backup was) because iTunes 10.7 can't operate on OSX 10.5.8. So I transferred the backup file onto my new macbook air. When I plugged my new phone into the laptop and opened up iTunes, where can I find the option to set up my phone according to the backup that I transferred to the new macbook?
Thanks!

I use CS3 & with 7.2 download still can't open Raw files from Sony A99 camera

This is a real setback until compatibility occurs. Anyone have the answer?

Hi ecoessays1,
Unfortunately CS3 does not support the 7.2 Camera Raw Plug-in. Here is a list of Raw-compatible Adobe Applications. From the list, you can see that Photoshop CS3 only supports Camera Raw 4.0 through 4.6. With that being said, the Raw plug-in Supported Cameras list states that you need atleast Plug-in 7.2.
With that being said, you will need to upgrade your software version to CS6 or Creative Cloud (CC) in order to support Camera Raw on your Sony A99. Photoshop Elements 11 and Lightroom 4.2 and above also supports Camera Raw for your camera model.
Hope this helps!

Can I open RAW files in CS1?

I appreciate I am behind on CS as I still have CS1 but can I open RAW files from a Canon 40D crop frame in CS1?

John,
Two things:
• as Jim says, ACR 2.4—the latest version that will ever run in CS1—is light-years behind ACR 5.4 in CS4. You'll be wasting a lot of image quality; and
• CS1 will cease to be eligible for any upgrade as soon as CD5 is announced in a few months. Bite the bullet now, or pay full price for Photoshop in six months or so, maybe sooner.

My current version of Chrome is having problems, too! It's so annoying. Anyone have any suggestions now? I basically can't view or download any PDFs because of this.
Does anyone else think this is a problem not only with Adobe? I would think Apple would have something to do with this? Wouldn't they get some idea from the developer versions that no browser can open PDFs while running Lion!? Pretty bad customer service on the part of a company that prides itself on being VERY customer-friendly. Wouldn't you say?

I downloaded 4.0 but it won't install. It keeps saying Extraction Failed Can not open output file. HELP!

Download of the new 4.0 won't install. It keeps saying Extraction Failed Can not open output file.

Oh? That's "reset youtr laptop"?
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

As you probably know the Canon plug-in enables Log & Transfer in FCP7. I'm not sure whether it works with Final Cut Express or not.
Look in Applications>Canon Utilities. I'm running 10.6 as well and that is where it's located on my machine.
Good luck.
