Since SL install, can't open .mpkg files

I just installed Snow Leopard. I'd like to look at the Optional Installs, but when I double-click on the .mpkg file, Finder asks me what application I want to open it with.
So, what application opens .mpkg files?

/System/Library/CoreServices/Installer.app
Try a control-click and select "Open With" -> "Other...". Then navigate to /System/Library/CoreServices and select Installer.

Can't open .mpkg file

I'm not sure what's gone wrong with my computer, but now all of a sudden, I can't dcouble-click a .mpkg file and have it open anymore. Also, there's a generic icon for them now.
What am I missing?

Thanks for trying to help. When I get info, the "Open with" dropdown box only has two options— one of them is "<None>" and the other is "Other."
I think I must've accidentally deleted something, but I have no idea what it is.
Any ideas?

It seems my free adobe software was automatically updated to Adobe Reader DC, and since then I can't open PDF files within various emails from other websites - just gives me a black page which says its loading, then finally an error message saying adobe i

Not sure if this question is even posted anywhere. Don't know what to do next?

Hi Angelete,

Please follow the below steps :-
Right-click the taskbar and select Task Manager.
Select the Processes tab, and select Show Processes From All Users.
Select any Adobe Reader process, and click End Process.
Repeat for all additional Adobe Reader processes.
Restart Windows & try to view the PDF's.
Let me know if you still experience any issue.

Can't open WMV files in Quicktime since Snow Lep upgrade.....

I Can't open WMV files in Quicktime since Snow Leopard upgrade
I get an error message saying 'Quicktime player must be installed to run this application'
This is happening on both of my macs
Any help appreciated

I had this problem. Double clicking the WMV file produced the message you had. However, if I open by dragging the WMV file onto the QuickTime X icon in the dock it did indeed open.
I then looked at the WMV's Get Info window and found that it was set to open in WMV Player by default. Obviously I do not have WMV Player installed. The drop down menu on this setting did have QT Player as the other option. When I changed the option to QT Player as default the "Change All" button became active. Previously it had been greyed out. Things have been OK since, but I have not tried it on any new WMV files.

Can I open .pmd files in indesign? And how? Since indesign is a "substitute" for PageMaker it should/must be possible, but I don't know how to do it

Can I open .pmd files in indesign? And how? Since indesign is a "substitute" for PageMaker it should/must be possible, but I don't know how to do it

CS6 was the last version capable of opening Pagemaker files. It's included with Cloud subscriptions, so if you don't have it installed (or an earlier version) you can download it from your cloud subscription.
To open them you use File > Open..., but the quality of conversion can range between nearly perfect and total garbage, depending on the PM file and the status of links (unembed images before trying to convert).

I can't open NEF files of my Nikon D800 in PS CS 5.1 even though I have installed Camera Raw 6.7

I can't open NEF files of my Nikon D800 in PS CS 5.1 even though I have installed Camera Raw 6.7.
What's the problem?
Any solutions?
Thx!

The D800 is listed as needing ACR 6.7/7.1. That raises a red flag that might indicate that 7.1 is needed. Since that requires CS6 you can not use that version. If others confirm you need 7.1 you either have to upgrade or use the DNG converter with latest version, which I think is 8.1.

After installing Lion, can't open Quark files?

Can't open Quark files after installing Lion.
It says "You can't open the application QuarkXpress because Power PC applications are no longer supported."
What does that mean???
Thanks!

Hi Lisa,
you must be using an older version of QuarkXPress.
QuarkXPress 7.01 (and higher) and 8.x are Universal Binary, so can run natively on both PowerPC-based Macs as well as Intel-based Macs. QuarkXPress 9 (9.1 is current) is an Intel-only application. So theoretically you need to use at least 7.01.
However since version 9.1 QuarkXPress is officially supported on Lion, so Version 9 is probably your best option on OS X 10.7.x.
Thanks
Matthias

Adobe reader XI can't open mp3 files in a pdf document- says the required decoder not installed

Adobe reader XI can't open mp3 file links contained in a pdf - it says the required decoder is not installed
please help!

This is not a function of Reader, but that your computer does not seem to be configured to play mp3 files. Try fixing your file associations. The method of doing so depends upon your OS and it version number.

Can't open old files in CS5 since upgrading to OS X 10.9 Mavericks

Since I upgraded to OS X, I can open all my CS5 programs and create new files. However, I can't open files I created (even a week ago on CS5) since I upgraded to Mavricks. I googled it and I tried updating my Adobe drive and I updated Java, but I still can't open any file I created before downloading mavericks. In Indesign, I get an error message "Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing or the file may be opened by another application" and In Illustrator I just get the spinning wheel of death...
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks!

Talk to Apple support about updating your permissions - that may be it.

After installing iOS 8 update on Iphone 5C, I can't open any files in my emails. Why?

Hello Rach Ryan
First I would try closing the app from multitasking and then launching it again. To do that, double tap the Home button and then swipe up on the app to close it completely. If that does not work, then I would restart your iPhone.

Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

Apple dropped playback support for .swf formats in QuickTime almost ten years ago.
Adobe Flash Player is the only way to view them.

I can't open pdf files. The popup window says to install adobe but when I download adobe it says I already have it

I can't open pdf files.

Back up all data.
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.
