When I Load a .exe File, It Doesn't Open And Says, "Success".
Why Is This Happening? Next to the "Success." Word It has a picture of an X. Could someone please tell me what is going on? Thanks!
.exe files are for Windows, not Macs. You cannot use them on a Mac. You need to run Windows:
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows
XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. For Boot Camp
4.0 and above you can only use Windows 7 or later. Follow
instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on
installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and
installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the
computer into OS X or Windows.
2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business,
Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software
virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently
with OS X.
3. VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate,
or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that
enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows
applications without having to install Windows. The
Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
5. VirtualBox is an Open Source freeware virtual machine such
as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.
It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM
Fusion.
Note that VirtualBox, Parallels, and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech Labs- Virtualization Benchmarks, January 2013 | MacTech for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

hello..when I download attachments from any email..iPages opens and says some features are not supported and cuts out photos and lengthens my attachments
What format are the attachments? If Pages will not display them properly you will need an application that does. Pages usually opens word documents but can give problems at times, if they are MS Word documents, try Libre Office or failing that you may have to purchase MS Word for Mac, maybe you will need to buy the complete Office suite.
The other possiblity is that you already have a suitable application and Pages is loading the file by default, if so change the default application to open that file type. -
When I start up the computer, the dialogue box opens and saying that the procedure entry point splite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQLite3.dll. I tried to fix this problem by redownloading itunes, but the problem still persists. How can I fix it? thank you.
With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
Reboot and see if all is well
In case that your OS is Windows 7 (64 bit)
1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
2. Copy file "SQLite3.dll"
3. Open new windows explorer, to to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
4. Paste file "SQLite3.dll" to the location.
5. Reboot your computer, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
Good Luck -

I click on the download button on the Firefox website and it processes as if it is downloading. Once it is finished processing, I'm unable to find the file to install it with the install wizard. I tried it by both running and saving the file. In both cases, the file just vanishes.
Hello.
See this article for help on installing Firefox:

Be sure that you're downloading Firefox off the [http://getfirefox.com official site].
If you need help with the software that you are using to download the Firefox installer, please contact its author. If it's Firefox, see this article:

Hotmail doesn't open and says 'server not found' but all other websites work fine...
My macbook won't open hotmail. It works on all other websites apart from hotmail. I have tried using safari to open it but it still didn't work. It comes up with the message 'Server not Found'. I have tried another computer in the house and it worked absolutely fine. I have cleared cookies and cache on the macbook which has not changed anything. Please help as this is rather an annoying situation to be in. Thankyou
Are you using a bookmark or do you enter the website via the main entry (i.e. a link on the MSN page)?
In the case of a bookmark, you may need to delete this bookmark and create a new bookmark.
Is this also happening with the Windows Live (Outlook) login page:
*https://mail.live.com
*https://login.live.com
You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History") or via the about:permissions page.
Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make a note of those passwords and bookmarks.
You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the involved files.
It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again. -
CS2 12.0 crash when i load up a file
I have AI CS2 12.0 installed and I have some files that i created about 9 months ago. I don't remember what version of CS it was then but it was CS2.
Now when i load up the files they load fine but every time i go to 'file' and click 'save' the program crashes. I uninstalled AI and reinstalled it but get the same problem.
I'd appreciate any advice or suggestions as i'm really a beginner with AI.I created a new file and it 'saved as' ok. When i re loaded it and made a change and clicked 'save' that was ok too.
I loaded up another older file that was saved back in March 2007 and now i just made a change and clicked on save and i get a messege saying
"Saving to the CS format may cause some changes to your text layout and disable some editing features when the document is read back in. Do you wan to continue" Yes/no.
But when i click save it doesnt crash. I loaded it back up no problem too.
On testing another older file though i get the messege
"Can't finish previewing. there isn't enough memory." ID=- 108 (i have plenty of HD space and 2 gigs of ram).
And also in another box a red circle with white 'X' and "An unknown error has occured"
Then when i click ok illustrator just shuts down.
On yet a nother file it says "An unknown error has occured" but does not crash and does not save.
I just tried a buch of older files and some save ok and others crash. Also, i tried to 'Ctrl C' then 'Ctrl V' to paste them to a new file and they save ok now.
It seems so intermittent. Could it be a virus? Or is there some incampatibility issue. -
How do I retrieve an app that I bought. The icon is in my library. But the program isn't in my device. When I look in the file that contains the app and try to open it, it doesn't open.
Howdy Hestersfree,
This can be done through the App Store on the device that you'd like the app installed on.
Apps on iOS
Open the App Store on your device.
Make sure you are signed in with the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
Tap Updates from the bottom navigation bar.
Tap Purchased on the resulting screen.
Locate the app in your Purchased tab.
Tap the download button.
The app will begin downloading and you'll be taken back to your home screen.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Psexec shows Access denied when i execute a .exe file on a remote machine
Hi All,
I am using Psexec application to run exe on multiple remote machines in the domain. When i run the the .EXE i get the error message saying access is denied.
I am running this script against agents in a list.
Below is the script i am running in the batch:
"C:\Windows\system32\PsExec.exe" @C:\Test.txt cmd
1. I am first connecting to the cmd of the remote computer and it connects successfully.
2. When i enter the .exe file location on the command prompt (which is also in a shared drive but in the same domain).
3. I ran the batch file as Run as administrator
4. I am itself a member of the Domain admins and Administrators group of the domain.
5. Turned off firewall on both sides.
6. Turned off UAC fully as per the below MS article - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc709691(v=ws.10).aspx
7. Pressed shift and right click so i will get the Run as option and mentioned different domain admins user account and password.
Below is the screenshot for your reference:
Restated both the machines after doing these changes. But still the same issue.
But still i get access is denied. Can anyone please help.

Hi I changed my version of acrobat from 8 to X Pro, now I get this message when down loading an acrobat file. I tried to create a new down load folder, did not help. Cannot find where tochange the association in preferences.
C:\DOCUME~1\Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\Image Honda MPR Oct - Dec 2011-2.pdf could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences.
Thanks,

I just purchased Time Capsule today. I ONLY want to use it as an external drive. I do not need it for Time Machine. I need to free up room on my computer. As of now, I can't even load updates. I can see the TC in my finder, but when I click on a file or video to drag and drop, I get message that TC can't be modified. Help please!
I agree with Kappy.. passing files and especially via wireless is slow as slow.
Just need to be sure your TC is the new AC model??
And the OS on the computer is Lion?
Have you completed the setup of the TC via the utility? You do still need to get internet via the TC so it has to be plugged into the main router..
Give us the full picture of the network.
Then we can help you get into it.. whether you should put your files on it is another question. -
I'm running Safari 6.0.5 - Mac OS 10.8.4 -- when I load my gmail the block around the DELETE and MOVE tabs are not usable - press buttons but nothing happens. ???
I can see the block (flashes) and the buttons are no longer usable.
I have Empted Cache but doesn't seem to help.From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support. -
When I click systems preferences, the folder doesn't open. How to I again access systems preferences?
Are you an administrative user?
Are you using any tools which impact System cache? If you are, stop. They are NOT maintenance tools despite their description. They should only be used to troubleshoot cache issues. They can create their own cache issues if you aren't careful, and I only recommend using them on systems that are already backed up. If you were using such a tool and found out how to remove it from its developer, including any supporting documents, and don't have a backup, still backup your data at least twice, as you may be able to import the data back once erase and installing the system. Let us know where you stand. If you aren't using such a tool, still backup your data at least twice, as there are other things that can corrupt or disable System Preference launching, but we can't tell safely unless your data files are backed up at least twice in two separate locations. -
