Why are my files opening in AME (newb)?

hi all,
i have a host of files with some coming from my PC days and am currently using Aperture to store and create m4v and mov files.
right now i have AVI, mpg, mp4, PDF etcetera that i am trying to organize. when i doubleclick on some of these files they open in AME and i am curious if this means that i need to associate the file type with some other software or if i should convert them to a more convenient format such as mov or m4v which Aperture recognizes.
can anyone give me there experience with this kind of issue?
i would like to avoid having four different pieces of software just to view slideshows/videos.
THANKS

This particular file started out as 3 mb and shrunk to 904 kb. Studio files are typically smaller starting out, so that is why the 3 mb.

Why won't files open in Camera Raw from Bridge?

I am trying to open files in Camera raw from Bridge but get the following message.
"Bridge's parent application is not active."
Both Bridge and CS5 are open and I have opened camera raw previously.
Any suggestions.
Cheers

Ah this is just because I haven't fully updated my bridge yet, but the solution still works fine

Why won't files open or save in email

I have been trying to open some important files that were emailed and they won't open. I am getting the blue and white pop up asking if I want to open or save and it won't let me do either. It did this the other day and somehow I finally got it open after shutting down the computer. Tried that this time and it won't work. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling adobe. It did not work. There is also an online website I use to complete and upload PDF file documents and it won't work either. What has happened? How do I fix?

Ah this is just because I haven't fully updated my bridge yet, but the solution still works fine

Why won't files open in the space that the application is assigned to?

I have applications assigned to specific spaces, however, if I am in space 2 and I click to open an Adobe Illustrator (assiged to space 3) file, spaces will send me to space 3 but the file window will open in space 2 (where I was). I have to use F8 to view the spaces and drag it over to the assigend sapce. If i try to work on it in spaces 2 (where it opened) my pallets are blank. Any ideas?

Disc Burner. Why are some files not readable or writeable?

Hello,
I am trying to backup my friends computer files on a beige G3 (233 MHz). I am burning about 6 DVDs of AIF music files. Most of the files are about 30 - 40 Megs in size. Often I receive error messages on particular files that read:
"The operation cannot be completed because some data cannot be read or written.
(Error code - 36)"
Followed by the choices: "Stop" or "Continue".
I have a bad feeling that my startup disk is too small but I am not sure.
Most of the files work fine. However some of the files cause disc burner to not be able to use them in the disc image before I burn. Why would this be?
Here are the specifications:
Computer: beige G3 with two hard drives (one SCSI and one ATA hard drive) and a Pioneer DVR-110D DVD writer which is Apple supported (Apple system profiler indicates Apple supported on this DVD writer). My blank DVD disks are Sony Vermatim DVD-R (1 - 16x speed support). Although I think my beige G3 only writes them at about 2 or 4x.
I am using OS 10.1.5. My startup disk which has OS 10.1.5 in it is a 4 GIG SCSI disk. Is this big enough for a startup disk (for creating 4.5 GIG DVDs)? My files are on the second hard drive which is a 40 GIG ATA disk.
I have a bad feeling that my OSX startup drive is too small for disk burning - it is only 4 GIGs in total and OSX Disc burner (Disc copy) is first making a disk image on my startup volume before it burns it. Perhaps that disk image is too large for the startup volume. Is there any way I could ask OSX to put this disk image on the second larger hard drive instead (not the startup drive?).
Here is my process (I hope I am doing this right - I am new at this):
1. I first insert a blank DVD-R
2. A message pops up asking my if I would like to create a blank disc image for this disk (I think this is the typical Disk Copy utility window. I say "yes" and give it a name and choose the "DVD-R or DVD-RAM" option. (I am not sure if there are other important settings to choose here or better settings to use but I guessed the other options that seemed obvious. A blank disk image is created with an icon that looks like a DVD disk.
3. Then I drag my chosen files to this blank disc image. It takes about 30 minutes to copy over. Thats when I receive the error message that some files couldn't be "read or written". The other files work fine but it would be nice if they all worked.
Why would some files not be readable or writeable?
4. Then I choose file/burn in the top menu and the DVD is created. This takes another 20 - 30 minutes. At the very end of the process another message pops up saying:
"Sorry the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured (error code -28)" Followed by an "OK" button.
However all the files that made it onto the final DVD are fine - its just that its not all of the ones I originally chose in the first step when dragging to create the disk image.
Am I doing this the right way?
Why are some files not "readable or writeable" as it indicates in the error message?
Is my 4 GIG startup disk too small for this? or are the music files possibly corrupt? or could there be some other possible problem?
Thanks

To follow up, I have some good news. After following your advice Kappy, it now works very well Thanks! Instead of using the 4 GIG volume for the OS, I am now using an 8 GIG partition on an 80 GIG drive. So now the OS has some room to operate. No disk errors occured on my first DVD
Now there was one problem. The second DVD burned gave me an error. I am not sure why but I am going to guess that because I had to installed the OS onto an 8 GIG partition maybe the OS needs to be rebooted in between disk burns because although 8 GIGs is certainly greater than the 4 GIGs I gave it last time, it still isn't a lot of space - maybe just enough to do one DVD at a time. Thats only a guess. So I rebooted to see if that clears the system out ready for the next DVD and I am trying to burn the second DVD again. If I remember I will report back. In any case, yes, this seems to be working. I hope this second DVD burns well too.
Thanks Kappy

Baltwo, bull's eye, as always!
X423424X's question is pertinent too: you usually need to repair permissions after some major upgrade or update, not on a regular basis. Is there a particular reason why you'd often try to repair permissions? Here's more on the subject.
Repairing permissions after an update or upgrade is harmless, but I would question the need to do it even there. The Apple update itself should set the correct Permissions. I still do this, really as a hangover from Tiger days -- not certain it was really ever needed there either -- and because it's a habit that's hard to kick, but it's never found anything to repair...but for one buggy exception, which was the 10.5.8 Combo update. Running it once and then repairing Permissions created a real error. It was discovered the Combo needed to be run twice back to back and then Permissions repair. In fact, one would have been better off not running Permissions for that update to begin with. There it wasn't harnless.

BTW, even Flash updates, which always used to set incorrect Permissions, are coming in clean these days.

Why are my files no longer downloading?

After converting a PDF into a word document; when I try to download the file nothing happens. So I click on the files tab and select the document I want to download and I get a messsage saying files not found. Why are my files no longer downloading?

What do you have your options set as in a Finder window?
Mine are set as "none" and show up alphabetically.
P.S. That is assuming you are referring to a Finder window? If not, please be a bit more specific.

Why are my files not opening in PS, when I select "edit in ps" ?

The external editor is Photoshop CC 2014 (PSD, Profoto, 16bit, 300ppi). When I select edit in ps, ps opens but the file does not. I suspect that I changed a preference somehow in the process of setting up the radial menu for my wacom tablet, or when I deleted Photoshop CC, when I realized that I had both PS CC, and PS CC 2014 on my system. Would appreciate guidance to make necessary corrections, so files open in PS.

See Rikk's response above.
Solution 2: Run a repair mode installation of Photoshop CC 2014 from the Creative Cloud desktop application.

Why is overwritten file opening new file for all backed up versions of file?

I accidentally overwrote an important file by accidentally selecting the wrong file to be replaced. I was at a client's premises when it happened and the external time machine drive was not connected. So there should be no problem because my time machine hard drive was at home with the old file in the time machine back ups right? Wrong.
When I go into time machine, whether through searching in the individual folder or "Enter Time Machine" method, it always opens the new overwritten version of the file!
The original just has to be on the external Time Machine hard drive! It wasn't connected to the computer when I overwrote the file on my computer. So why are all versions of the back up opening the new version of the file and not opening the back versions of the file?! What good is Time Machine if it is opening new versions of the overwritten file when you want to open the old versions of the backed up file?

tryb4buy wrote:
Am I the first person ever to try and recover overwritten files with Time Machine?
Of course not. Plenty of people use TM to recover files or restore entire disks regularly. What you are describing is very strange, which suggests that either there is some rogue bug in TM, or that events have not occurred in quite the way that you think or are describing.
Clearly, there is no way that a file can magically appear on your backups before you created it, when the drive is not attached. So the only way it could have got there is for TM to run a backup and somehow corrupt all versions with the new file. So did TM run a backup before you attempted a restore?
How far back do your backups for this file go? How often did you attach the external disk to allow TM to run backups?
What version of OS X are you on?
Are you using the TM application to browse through your backups, or the Finder?

Why are PDFs not opening?

A course was published with several PDFs using Presenter 7. The PDFs open when viewed on the LMS.
In an effort to decrease file size I've gone back into the course using a newly purchased version 8 and added PDFs that were lower in file size. The course is republished locally (I also worked locally), uploaded to the LMS and tested. Of the 16 PDFs I can get 1 or 2 to open- that's it.
I've tried deleting the resource folder and deleting the files seen under Settings and starting fresh with the same outcome.
I've also manually added the PDFs to the resource folder with the same outcome.
What am I missing?

If you are trying to open the PDFs when testing by playing the content from your local C drive, you are likely encountering Flash Security Settings blocking the links.

There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
