Why can't firefox read htm default files as a pdf?

Approx. 1 month ago my local city website agenda/minutes posting are began loading as default htm files. The files open in complete gibberish. Previously they were PDF files and I had no problem. If I use internet explorer they still load as PDF files. Why is there a problem using Firefox?

Please provide a hyperlink to that website or exact page where that is happening, so we can see the problem for ourselves. Sounds like some configuration is not working correctly for you and you're not getting the PDF files that are posted there.

Why can't I read a .docx file?

I have an iPad running iOS 5.0.1 and I just received an email with a .docx attached. Whan I tap on it, it tries to open only to get a message that it can not read this kind of file. It can however read a .doc. What's up with that?

Asatoran,
Thank you! However, I am not using an app, I am using the latest version of Apple Mail and as I stated, I can read a .doc file that is sent to me, just not a .docx file. If .docx started back in '07, why hasn't this been updated, or is it a Microsoft licensing thing? Preview on my MBP can read .docx file, why not Mail?
As Dave and Gilh said, you should be able to open DOCX. (And I tested an XLSX as well) on iOS5.0.1, which I did on my iPad1.
The file formats were introduced in Office2007, but it took a while for developers to update their apps to handle the Microsoft proprietary format. And even now, they can't always open every document perfectly. (i.e.: tables are not aligned properly. Macros don't work.)
So in addition to what Dave said about resetting your iPad, also try opening a different DOCX file. Preferably a "simple" file. (Just one or two words.) No macros either.

Why can I not download a converted file (xl from pdf)?

I have a converted file (XL from PDF) but I cannot download it. Never before had a problem. What am I doing wrong?

Hi Peter,
I'd like to assist!
What is happening when you try to convert from PDF to Excel? Are you receiving a specific error message? Was the file an Excel doc prior to being converted to PDF?
Looking forward to hearing back from you.
Kind regards, Stacy

Why can't Mail read my library files?

I had a computer crash and lost emails that I was able to recover from online storage. These emails have file names with numbers like 39452.emix
When I drag the lost emails into my mail library, they never show up as email files in Apple mail (for example if I search for them through the mail program). The only way I can read them is to double click on the emix file outside of the mail program.
Any clue on how I can import them back into the software?
-I tried archiving them and opening the archive inside of apple mail -- but the still don't show up.
-I 've also tried to put them in different mail folders and mailboxes such as trash and incoming, etc.
-I've tried restarting the computer and the Mail Program during these trials.
For example I can see message 139550.emlx and 139547.emlx, but when I drag in the lost email of 39648.emlx, it does not show up anywhere on a MAIL search (by name, content, date or number).
I have about 1,000 message I need to re import into my MAIL program. They are in the library files, they just are viewable through the MAIL software program.
Thanks!
Kate

Just sticking them in the Library doesn't tell Mail they are there. You have to import them and let Mail put them where they belong: File > Import Mailboxes…. Select "Apple Mail"

Why can't I import a .txt file to a PDF created in Livecycle Designer?

I am trying to import data into a PDF, simple stuff like names and addresses. I've saved my spreadsheet as a tab delimited .txt file, but when i go to import data in the PDF, .txt files are not an option. Is there a setting in Livecycle or in Acrobat that I haven't found?

Is there a way for me to import the data to a PDF created in LiveCycle designer?

Whenever I modify a photo in Iphoto it puts it in a "modified" subfolder. Why can't I move this modified file (I changed name) back to the Iphoto main file so I can see it when I open my photos?

Whenever I modify a photo in Iphoto it puts it in a "modified" subfolder. Why can't I move this modified file (I changed and saved file name) back to the Iphoto main file so I can see it when I open my photos?

A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.
If that does not cure it backup up your iPhoto library and rebuild it - depress the option and command keys and launch iphoto and use the options there - exact option depends on teh version you have
And always remember - NEVER make any changes of any sort to the structure or content of the iPhoto library - nothing - no deletions - no name changes - nothing

Why can't I see my iPhoto files in iMovie?

[DISCLAIMER: My question is short, but my details are not. This is going to be a LONG read, but I wanted to make sure I provided all you helpful people with as much information as I could so that I could receive the best possible solution. So your patience and assistance is greatly appreciated!]
In iMovie [version 4.0.1], when I click on the Photo button to import pictures into my project from iPhoto, the following error message appears: "No photos were found. To use this feature, you must first create a photo library using iPhoto version 2.0 or later."
However... I AM using iPhoto [version 4.0.3]... with a HUGE Library containing 2000+ images and several created albums. These features work just fine within the confines of that program. They just aren't integrating with iMovie correctly. So... why can't I see my iPhoto files in iMovie?!!?!
FIRST ATTEMPT:
When I checked iMovie help, all it said was "You must open iPhoto at least one time on your computer to be able to access your iPhoto library from iMovie." I've obviously done this, having used the program plenty. Didn't work.
SECOND ATTEMPT:
When I checked this forum, the closest thread I could find that was similar to my problem suggested deleting the iMovie preferences file [com.apple.imovie3.plist]. It was later added that deleting the iPhoto preferences file [com.apple.iphoto.plist] as well had solved the problem immediately for that user. Tried it. Didn't work.
THIRD ATTEMPT:
When I checked the Apple Info site, their main solution was to try recreating the AlbumData.xml file which is used to populate the photo listing. Now this file can usually be found in the iPhoto library folder and I know how to recreate it. But THIS is where I think my main problem lies.
Unlike most users, my iPhoto Library is actually located on an external hard drive under "my hard drive name"/Pictures/iPhoto Library. When I checked this folder for the AlbumData.xml file , it simply did not exist. So as a test, I created a new iPhoto Library also on my external hard drive but the AlbumData.xml file was not created with it. I opened up iMovie just to see if it was able to browse the iPhoto library properly. But it still didn't work.
However, when I created a test iPhoto Library directly onto my Mac's hard drive, the AlbumData.xml file was indeed created with it. And when I opened up iMovie again... lo and behold, the iPhoto library finally appeared. It worked. But unfortunately, this solution still doesn't help me at all!
Thing is, I don't have enough space on my Mac's direct hard drive to move my entire iPhoto Library there (where it works). That's why I am using an external hard drive to store (more space). So is there ANY way I can keep my iPhoto Library located on my external hard drive and have the library, albums and files recognized in the other iLife applications like iMovie???
I feel I've tried everything, folks Could someone please please help me?!!?!
[my specs are listed below if that helps any]
Thanks in advance,
a very disgruntled wizkid :\
PowerBook G4 12" [1GHz, 256MB, 40GB] Mac OS X (10.3.9) GeForce FX Go5200 32MB, Matshita DVD-R UJ-816, Maxtor External Hard Drive [250GB, Firewire & USB 2.0]

My main concern at this point is that the AlbumData.xml file is unable to create itself onto the External HD. When I view the file [that I created from my test iPhoto Library on my Mac's HD] in finder, it appears to be a Final Cut Pro type of extension. Is something wrong with my External Hard Drive in that regard? Is it just incapable of storing those file types??? Hmmm...
As for the alias solution... instead of alias-ing the "Pictures" folder like you have, I've already tried creating an alias of the "iPhoto Library" folder on my External HD and placing it within the "Pictures" folder on my Mac. But when I tried to "Find Library" upon launching iPhoto, the prompt box would not allow me to choose the "iPhoto Library" alias I had created. So I couldn't open it.
To be honest, I'm not exactly sure how to create an alias correctly... or perhaps I should try alias-ing the actual "Pictures" folder (like you have) rather than just the "iPhoto Library" folder, but I don't know how to do that correctly either.
FYI... I am mounting my External HD before I launch iPhoto.
Also, I have also tried dragging the AlbumData.xml file that I created from the test iPhoto Library into my active iPhoto Library folder residing on my External HD. It would appear to be in the folder, but as soon as I clicked somewhere else in finder and than back into the folder, it would disappear. Not sure how to "point to it" either.
Karl, think maybe you could provide some hints on how to properly alias something or "point" to the AlbumData.xml file? I'd try it myself, but I don't wanna screw anything up by accident.
PS. As stated in the post above, there's a possibility my External HD is no longer Mac OS formatted... at which point I throw my hands up into the air and scream!
thanks for the tips thus far... everyone's so nice and helpful... I love it!

Why can't I open my RAW files in my trial version of Photoshop Lightroom 4?

Why can't I open my RAW files in my trial version of Photoshop Lightroom 4? I use a Canon 5d mark II, which is supposed to be supported, and I checked for updates, but none were found.

You cannot open files directly with Lr.
You have to import them.

Why can't I read my book in Reader like I bought it?????

It's been awhile since I used one of my eBooks but every time I double-click it brings me to a web-site to install DE. Even after installing it still takes me to DE. Even when I'm in DE the experience is less than pleasurable. Why can't I read it how I want to? I hate DRM!!!!! Way to kill enthusiasm for eBooks Adobe! Guess I'll have to repurchase a paper version.
Who programmed this piece of crap anyway? Why can't I simply hold my down arrow to scroll the document like every other application in existence? Why does clicking above or below the thumb in the scrollbar not page up or page down like every other application in existence????? Why do I have to bring up some weird little window to zoom to anything other than a predefined width??? I am completely infuriated that I cannot read my book in the format I purchased it!
Having it in Reader was so cool. I could double-click on the file and pick up reading where I left off. It almost felt like a book. Now it feels like locked digital content that I have to jump through a bunch of hoops to get to and that may or may not be there for me when I need it. Way to go idiots!

With Adobe Acrobat 8.0, Adobe Reader 8.0 and the Digital Editions software, Adobe has really crippled the PDF reader. I supposed, eventually Adobe will address this issue, but here's what you can do now to get the functionality back:
If you installed or upgraded to Adobe Acrobat 8.0 or Adobe Reader 8.0, uninstall the software and go back to Adobe Acrobat 7.0 or Adobe Reader 7.0. You can still download this version of Adobe Reader from Adobe's website.
Uninstall the Digital Editions software completely from your computer.
Go into Adobe Acrobat 7.0 or Adobe Reader 7.0 and disable the feature that automatically updates the software (to prevent your software from being upgraded to 8.0 without your knowledge):
Edit > Preferences > Updates > select the option "Do not automatically check for critical updates"
Change the file association for PDF files back to Adobe Reader 7.0 (or Adobe Acrobat 7.0): open up File Explorer > select Tools > Folder Options > File Types > find and highlight the PDF file type > select the "Change" button and select Adobe Reader 7.0 or Adobe Acrobat 7.0.
This won't fix the books you've already opened in the Digital Editions software, but now when you download DRM protected PDF files, you can use them as you are accustomed to.

Why can't I read posts?

Why can't I read posts? Is there an outage on the forum site or is my browzer doing something to block links? I can see topics and lists of posts, but only blank windows open when I click on a post. Of course, I won't be able to read your answer should this problem be at my end and it persists ... if a system thing, somebody should post a notice at the top level of the forum ... thanks.

I dusted-off my old PB-1400 and now I can read the posts.
I'm in the process of trouble-shooting a failed G4, so I had signed-in with a Win-PC running 98SE and IE v. 6. I had already tried clearing the cache and made sure cookies cleared, then enabled, etc. Still can't see posts. I downloaded Firefox 1.5 and tried that, still can't see posts. I have no problem with any other sites online that require special cookies, scripts, etc.
Perhaps the Apple discussion site saw the machine was running Win98 and snubbed me??? If not that, there must be some wierd script or something. Go figure.

Why can't I get my Dreamweaver files into HTML?

why can't i get my dreamweaver files to an HTML file? every time i press create new i open up a HTML that is linked to my CSS, i try to save and it comes up as a .dwt
how can i end up saving these pages as HTML? can't figure it out... By the way it needs to be a .html page becuase that is the criteria for the class i'm taking.
please help.

Here's how you create a normal HTML page -
1. Open DW.
2. Use FILE | New... > Blank Page > HTML > Create
3. Use FILE | Save
There - you've done it.
If you are seeing your files saved as dwt files, you are somehow stuck in using a template. If you *are* using a template, then you would have to use the following procedure to create a normal HTML page -
1. Open DW.
2. Use FILE | New... > Page from Template > site & template name > Create
3. Use FILE | Save
Again, you have done it. Both pages are standard HTML pages, although the latter is also the child page of the template you selected.
