  • Why can't I open or download PDF files in Firefox

    Why can't I open or download PDF files in Firefox.  In Safari PDF files open automatic.  Firefox won't open anything.

    Does this help?

  • Why can I not open an existing PDF file?

    I get the following message:  "There was an error opening this document.  This file cannot be found." 
    I know that the file is there.  In fact, none of my PDF file will open.

    There was an option in the Old Keynote "Save new documents as packages". If it's off, the document would be automatically zipped. As a result, you couldn't "Show Package" on it.
    if you selected it, it would save as a package and you could "Show Package"
    This second one is what the new Keynote is doing and there's no option otherwise. SO, I believe you'll have to .zip the file yourself before emailing in order for it to send successfully. However, I'll have to play around a bit more specifically with the iPad interactions.
    OH, just thought about another option. Have you tried sharing via iCloud instead? It provides a link that can be pasted in an email and loaded from both Mac's and iPads (and PC's if they have a recent browser, it'll load in iWork for iCloud).

  • Why can't I open and retrieve my files from iPhoto and my address book after importing the files from my Power mac G5 to my new Mac Pro? I get a warning that says the new OS on my Pro doesn't open files from a Power Mac. Any idea how I can fix this?

    For your addressbook, export the files to vCard on the PowerMac, then bring them over to your Mac Pro. For your iPhoto, copy the Users -> yourname -> Pictures folder to your Desktop on the Mac Pro, and open iPhoto on the Mac Pro holding the command and option keys.  Select the library file from that Pictures folder and open it.  It should import all the pictures into iPhoto as part of the rebuild process.  Other PowerPC to Intel migration issues are covered here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2295

    Why can't I open/play my movie files after I have downloaded them from my camera? Pictures open fine.

    What system and iPhoto version are you running and do you have Qjuicktime Player 7 installed. It would be in the Applications or Applications/Utilities folder.

  • I am not able to open or view PDF files on my ipad 4th gen.

    I am not able to open or view PDF files on my ipad 4th gen.

    Hello,
    This looks this issue is specific to this particular banking site and we definitely want to know more to help resolve this issue. It is likely that this particular functionality is not supported on Firefox and I would suggest that you report this to the bank and request them to support it soon.
    That said, there are a few things you can do from the details provided in the [[Websites don't load - troubleshoot and fix error messages]] SUMO article. Specifically, the section about [[Websites look wrong or appear differently than they should]] and reporting the website might help us provide more information.
    If this is a banking site used by any of the other volunteers who are willing to dig more to find out why, they will try to provide the resolution sooner.
    I know this is not really a resolution that will help you, but given that I don't have much information as to what is the offending part of the website causing the issue, I can only suggest this much.
    Thank you

  • Can I read and search a PDF file on my IPAD

    Can I read and search a PDF file on my IPAD??

    Several apps will allow you to work with PDFs. iBooks will handle them, but there have been a few issues reported about using it for that purpose. My guess is it depends on the size and complexity of the file. Adobe has a reader in teh app store (free). Goodreader is an option, and provides functionality for searches.

  • Why can't I open a FCE project file that I have saved? (It now says ZERO kb

    Hello...
    I have just started working on a project in Final Cut Express - I render, save, and close out of FCE - but, when I go back to FCE, the project I was working on does not open.
    Why can't I open a project file that I have saved?
    Here was my process in a nutshell:
    ~ When I opened FCE, I went the System Preferences and set the Scratch Disks to a folder on my external hard drive.
    ~Then, I went to File - New Project - worked on the project for a while (including creating bins, importing images and video, and creating a sequence.
    ~I saved the project file to the same folder that I set my Scratch Disks to.
    as often throughout this process.)
    ~When I was done, I saved again andd closed FCE.
    ~Then, soon after, I opened FCE again and my project did not open automatically.
    ~So, I clicked File - Open Recent - browsed to and chose the project file name and FCE gave me a "Unable to open file" message.
    ~When I check to see if the project file actually saved to my external hard drive, the name appears, but it says the file size is ZERO kb.
    I have done this twice with the same unfortunate result. What am I doing wrong? I have worked on FCE on this same computer before, setting the Scratch Disks the same way, and I did not have this problem.
    Please help. Thank you so much for your feedback.
    ...Rae

    Are you sure you are trying to open the project file you actually saved ?
    Try using Spotlight to search for your project file name. I might be wrong, but I guess you try to open an empty copy while your real project file (what you saved) is somewhere else in either your startup disk (Documents folder ?) or the external drive. If so do not use Open Recent in FCE but simply double click the "real" project file.

  • Why can't I open a dynamic PDF?

    I can open a regular PDF, even though it's a larger file than the dynamic PDF. I'm trying to open the dynamic IEP and ETR files from this site: Ohio Required and Optional Forms | Ohio Department of Education. Can anyone else? Is it the site? Can anyone open it on an iPad using iOS8? I *just* bought this iPad to WORK on, and can't!!! I've tried to open both files in Evernote, Google Drive, and Dropbox. Still no joy. Please help me!!

    Unfortunately no. Not for iOS at any rate. You would need to use a different machine.
    That is the fault of the folks that made these forms. It's documented that this isn't an acceptable workflow and suggested that if they want to target people using tablets (iPad or Android), they need to be rendered as HTML mobile forms.

  • When I use iBooks in Maverick, why can't I open and read .PDFs as I can on my IOS devices?

    I keep getting an error message that says, 'The application "Adobe Reader" can't be opened.  -10810' But I've downloaded a variety of .PDFs on my iPhone and iPad and they open and work fine in iBooks.

    I has this same problem until I:
    opened iTunes
    Selected "Books" in the "LIBRARY" section
    At this point iTunes posted a message similar to: "Your books have moved...".
    I went back to the  iBooks app and, presto, I could now open all my PDFs. I went back to iTunes and the "Books" item no longer appeared in the "LIBRARY" section on iTunes. Gotta love quality software engineering!!

  • Why can't I print out a PDF file when I am on Firefox? It takes me to Preview to print instead of staying on Firefox.

    When I go to a website that has a PDF file and try to print it, it sends me to Preview and when I try to print, the computer freezes up. This does not happen on Safari. Why can't I print a PDF file when I am on Firefox?

    To print a PDF, you need to use the print command from the PDF reader plugin instead of firefox's one. If there is no icons bar in the plugin, try right-click on a page from the pdf -> Print.

  • Why can't I open a Numbers '09 file in Numbers '08?

    I created a Numbers file on my macbook pro which has iWork '09, emailed it to myself, tried to open it on my desktop (which has iWork '08) and got an error message about not having the right version of Numbers. What? Why can I open any excel file but not a Numbers file from a previous version of numbers?

    Numbers '09 introduced a lot of new features which are unknown by Numbers '08.
    So it's normal that Numbers '08 can't open Numbers '09 native documents.
    Numbers '09 is able to create documents compatibles with numbers '08 if you take care to use "Save as > Bumbers '08"
    In this case, new features will be dropped.
    There is an other workaround absolutely free :
    install the free tril version of iWork '09.
    The license states :
    2. Permitted License Uses and Restrictions.
    A. Trial License. If you are using the trial version of the Apple Software, this License allows you to install and use the Apple Software on a single Apple-labeled computer for the sole purpose of evaluating the Apple Software. The trial version of the Apple Software expires thirty (30) days after the date you first launch the Apple Software. *Upon the trial expiration, you may continue to open files in the trial version of the Apple Software, but you will not be able to save, print or export files.*

  • I can no longer open a standard pdf file-help

    Before Lion, I just clicked on the file icon and it opened in Acrobat.  Now (using Lion) when I try to open a pdf file, it asks me what program I want to use to open it.  I get the circle with a slash icon over the Acrobat icon, and nothing seems to work.   Help please!

    I can't open PDF files at all after upgrading my Macbook to Lion !
    This bug is really annoying...I tried anything to fix it:
    deleting Preview.plist
    manually reinstalling Preview.app
    NO-WAY*
    Hope a bugfix release comes asap...in the meantime http://skim-app.sourceforge.net/

  • Why can I not make comments on pdf files?

    OK this has been driving me nuts for a couple years now.  I used to have an earlier versison of Acrobat Reader (5.0 maybe?) where I could freely highlight and make comments throughout the document--very easy and straightforward.  When I got a new computer I had to go version 9--and now I cannot highlight, undlerline, comment or do ANYTHING at all with the text--on the very SAME documents I used to do this on (and on new ones as well).  Commenting is never allowed on ANY .pdf file I have.  WHY has Adobe done this????   Do I have to upgrade to some commercial version or what?  Frustrated as hell with this huge step backwards that completely limits my ability to find information in documents quickly.

    You probably didn't have Reader before, but Acrobat, which is the non-free
    version that allows you to create PDF files and to make comments. With
    Reader, you can only create comments if this was specifically allowed by the
    creator of the PDF. If you want this functionality you will other need to
    ask the creator of your files to enable commenting in Reader, or buy
    Acrobat.
