Stuffit Will Not "Expand" .sit Files

Please help. Every time I double-click a ".sit" file (or, select Stuffit from the "open with" menu item), a small windows opens for less than a second, then closes. Nothing else happens. I can't tell what the window is because it only flashes on the desktop.
I am experiencing no other problems on my PM. I have deleted all the Stuffit files I could find using Spotlight; Repaired Disk Permissions and Repaired Disk (no problems found in either); re-booted, and re-downloaded and re-installed Stuffit Expander -- but, I get the exact same results.
It must be something simple that I am overlooking, as I am fairly new to the Mac world. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

maclover - thanks again for the response. What does "you could have a trawl here" mean?
I went to the support link you provided and followed the instructions (even though it appears the problem described in this link is for when Stuffit crashes upon opening - Stuffit opens fine for me, but crashes upon attempting to expand a file). Anyway, I turned off "version checking" in Stuffit (I was able to do that without going through all the steps...all my other settings were as described), but the results are still the same: Stuffit crashes the moment it tries to expand a ".sit" file. More suggestions?

Hundreds of my iPhoto pictures will not be copied and will not show when I double-click on them. When I do in iPhoto an exclamation surrounded by a triangle appears. Though I can see the picture in the small tiles below it will not expand.

Hundreds of my iPhoto pictures will not be copied and will not show when I double-click on them. When I do in iPhoto an exclamation surrounded by a triangle appears. Though I can see the picture in the small tiles below it will not expand. I also cannot attach any of these pics into an e-mail or into any other file. I have already went through all 3 Repair options and when that did not solve it went through a complete Rebuild. Any Help?! Any Suggestions on how to fix this?! I have spent almost 2 days now going through all of the published help.
I have backups going back 6 months - I have not had the real need to check every album before - but - all of my backups also have this same problem.

The triangle with the ! indicates that the connection between the thumbnail and the orginal is missing - this can be caused by many things including database corruption and user action emoving the originals photos on urpose or by accident
If the database is corrupted then rebuilding is the solution - backup and depress the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and rebuild your database -- if the iPhoto rebuild does not cure the problem then download iPhoto Library manager and use its rebuild command which creates a totally new library leaving the existing one untouched
If you have deleted the photos then you need to start over with a new library and import the photos you have not deleted into it
You can select one of the problem photos and use the reveal original in finder commander (file menu) to see if the original is there - if it is a finder window will open showing it

DW CS5 "Get" bug in expanded site files view

Hi,
I just installed the CS5 Design Premium trial and have been playing with Dreamweaver. Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing the following issue...
When in expanded site files view (showing both local and remote), selecting a file on the REMOTE site and trying to "Get" the file does not download the remote file. It instead tries to retrieve the remote copy of the file(s) selected in the LOCAL file list pane.
If no file is selected on the local file list, pressing "Get" after selecting a REMOTE file from the list brings up the "Are you sure you wish to get the entire site" dialog.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open expanded site files view (local and remote)
2. Click on a file in the remote file list. For testing purposes, click on a file in the LOCAL list first, then select a remote file
3. Click the Get button or right click on the remote file and choose Get.
DW should download the selected REMOTE file if that was the last selected file prior to executing the Get command. (this is the action that DW CS3/CS4 does)
I have submitted this bug in the official Adobe bug reporting system, but I'm curious as to whether others can reproduce this bug.
Thanks

@Murray, I think I have discovered exactly where the bug lies and how you may be able to reproduce it yourself...
@quantumlight - do you happen to have your Site Files panel UNDOCKED and in its own floating panel??
I work with Dreamweaver on a dual/multi monitor setup. I have my split design/code view on one screen, and the site files and code inspector on a DETACHED Files panel on the 2nd monitor.
I did a full DW prefences reset and everything went back to the factory setting, with the Files panel docked to the right hand side of the DW program window. With it docked, I opened the expanded/split site files view and IT WORKED NORMALLY as is expected.
However, as soon as I UNDOCKED the Files panel into its own floating panel and expanded the file view, the bug appeared and selecting a REMOTE FILE and pressing Get, asked to either download a copy of the selected LOCAL file, or if no local file is selected it asks "Are you sure you want to get the entire site"
Redocking the Files panel back to its original position makes the bug disappear.
I have tested this on two Windows 7 machines and one Mac Snow Leopard machine, both with the CS5 11.0.2 updates installed.
It seems it's a Windows version only bug as both Win7 machines produced the bug, with the Mac machine NOT presenting the bug in either docked or floating panel state.
Hopefully the Adobe DW guys see this soon and can work on fixing this bug in the next update.
Do you think i should re-submit my previous bug report with this updated discovery?

Adobe Reader will not read pdf files on internet

I have lastest version of Adobe reader on a new mac running OS 10 Maverick. This has latest safari (7.0.1) as my internet browser. My adobe reader reads pdf files already present on my desktop, but will not read pdf files from the internet even after I allow "trust" this site. Can anyone help me to resolve the issue please. Is it a bug that Adobe has not solved??

Sorry if you did not understand my instructions.
Regarding bullet point 4: Check Reader >Preferences > Internet > Web Browser Options> The blessed app should be " /Applications/Adobe Reader.app"
You specified that you don't see the path, then it might be some problem in your installation.
Please see the attached image and let me know what you see on your system.
Regarding bullet point 5: Load PDF in Safari.
This means open any PDFs in Safari web browser.

Fireworks will not open local files

I use a Web Page to have students navigate to either web
sites or local (c: drive) files for their classes. I cannot get
Fireworks to open the local files, but I can create hyperlinks in
Dreamweaver and they work fine. I am trying to create a popup menu!
Hyperlink in Dreamweaver =
file:///C|/mts/course/index_mts.html
Placed in Fireworks popup menu, will not open the file.
Any thoughts?

Please note that Fireworks is an image/web graphic editing
application, while Dreamweaver is a HTML authoring application.
Fireworks cannot open HTML files, only Dreamweaver can open
html files. Fireworks only exports simple HTML-generated for
certain simple, basic pop-up menus. But it is not recommended,
though. Best if you create menus in HTML/CSS around Dreamweaver
than Fireworks.

My web browser will not expand past the dock? The dock is always showing.

Any screen I englarge will not expand past the dock. The screen just sits on top of the dock, instead of in front of the dock like it used to. I don't like to enable auto dock hiding either.

To my knowledge and IIRC no window ever went In Front of the Dock. I can go behind it if you drag that window down from the title area but it won't expand from the bottom to in front of or even in back of the Dock. And that is the way it should be. It won't cover the menu bar either.
If you want the app to go farther then set it into Full Screen Mode.

Illustrator will not open my files! HELP!

Hello,
My Illustrator will not open my files. At first I will launch the program open a file then the timer just spins and spins as if its thinking but nothing ever happens. The menu on the dock says its not responding. If I leave it like that for about 2 hours it will eventually open. But when I work and save again I get the same thing, application is not responding unless I let it sit there for a few hours. I reinstalled the software and nothing seems to be working.
Please help. This is wasting my time and very frustrating.
Thanks;o)

The files I am trying to open are standard CS3 .ai files... I'm not on a networked server. Its just my computer with my licensed software.
I'm creating a website so there is some type and some placed images. But this problem happens even when I start a new file and draw an image with simple illustrator tools. Do you think I have corrupt preferences?

Superdrive not appearing on Finder on my iMac will not burn JPG files

Superdrive is not appearing on Finder and in drive Utilities it will not burn JPG files - says doesn't recognize the file type. The more I am exposed to Apple the more they look like Microsoft. If the drive doesn't work with the IMAC then why the **** do they list it with the iMAC site?

all external usb optical drive readers and burners works
not just the superdrive if the device does not show in finder it's not working properly

I need to make a pdf document, made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

I need to make a pdf document, already made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website as an e-brochure. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

Hello waitingone,
please try this (all terms are translated from my German programs to my best knowledge):
1. Did the creator of the pdf file enable the import options?
2. See import options: choose an other visibility option for your layer.
3. Let you show the import options and click into one with a black background and try these out (often a gray is selected).
4. See trimming: try the different modes there. Often works: "Media".
5. Is the pdf file (eg from Word) correctly created?
6. Is the PDF file protected? >>> no import possible.
7. If that does not help, store the pdf file in Acrobat, repair possible errors, run the PDF Optimizer before placing in InDesign.
Good luck!

Safari will not open pdf files.

Safari will not open pdf files, instead I get a blank grey screen. How can I get a viewable and downloadable screen/file? Tried Alt/Option to view and it doesn't work either. Firefox and Chrome will not work either.

For Mac check the Safari preferences.
General to set the options for opening links from applications.
Tabs to set the other options.
Hold down the command key to open any link in a new tab.
Sorry, gave up windows several years ago.

After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading.

After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading. I have no special software like numbers or anything else installed on either device. Just using the default viewer provided by apple for viewing email.

The attachment is an .xls excel 97-2003 spreadsheet. I viewed the file in the email and did not edit it with any software. I can forward the file to anyone that is may want to check it out to see if they can help me. I was wondering if there was some way of forcing another ios6 install on my phone and maybe that would solve it.
Is there anyone out there that is viewing .xls files in email using ios6 w/o any other software installed like numbers or any other add ons? I am not upgrading my ipad from ios5 to ios6 so I can still continue to view the emails on my ipad. Is there an email viewer .xls plug-in that will be availablle in the next ios6 update?

My audio files no longer sync to the in the 5d in camera audio. It did when I bought the program but no longer does I reinstalled and it still will not sync the files recorded on the H4N with the Canon 5D Mark Ii

My audio files no longer sync to the in the 5d in camera audio. It did when I bought the program but no longer does I reinstalled and it still will not sync the files recorded on the H4N with the Canon 5D Mark II Camera.
The program used to import and transcode the Can 5D footage but no longer does. The program freezes often and looses my projects as well. Hard to make a living when your editing program is on strike!

CS 3.0.1 will not open InDesign files created in 2008 - it says a plug-in may be missing.

My CS 3.0.1 will not open InDesign files created in 2008. It says a plug-in may be missing. I did have a computer crash since I last opened it. I've tried changing the extension to inx, but that doesn't work. I cannot get the file to open. Can someone help?

The OP is using CS. He/she could be trying to open CS2 or later.
Simply changing the file extension will do know good and only an INX exported from CS2 will work.

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (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, remove any items that have the letters “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.
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.
