Why can't I open just one of my numbers files?

Hello,
I am unable to open a rather important numbers file on my macbook pro. I can open all other numbers files but when I double click this one, it sort of "shines" as if its going to open then nothing happens. The data in it is really important and I can't get to it. I also have set up my time machine (as I don't know how) and wondered if anyone has any suggestions?
Many Thanks

If you meant that you have not set up your time machine, the following may help with that: Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support
Regarding the Numbers file -- this is a long shot, but rather than double-clicking on it you might try first starting Numbers and then use its File menu Open command and see if that will open the file.

Why can't I send just one song off of an album as a gift?

You'll need to use iTunes on your computer to be able to send a single track. From an iOS device you can only gift entire albums.

Why can't i open my Panasonic Lumix FZ45 RAW files in CS3?

why can't i open my RAW files?
I have photoshop CS3 with camera raw plug-in 4.6.0.30 on MacBook Pro OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63) and a Panasonic Lumix FZ45
I have checked the list of supported cameras and mine appears to be there.
I have no available updates in photoshop so assume that I am up to date with those.
Anyone have any ideas?
thanks

I have checked the list of supported cameras and mine appears to be there.
Yes, the Panasonic FZ45 is listed but it was first supported by Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) 6.2.

Then go to this table to see which versions of Photoshop are compatible with ACR 6.2: CS5 and later. Not CS3.

So your options are to upgrade to CS6 or subscribe to CC (check out the Photoshop Photography Program: PS CC + Lightroom 5).
Or download the free DNG converter, convert all your FZ75 Raw files to DNGs then open the DNGs in CS3

HT1368 Why can't I add just one **** song to my wishlist? Why itunes trying to be greedy and make me buy the whole album. I don't think so - amazon here I come!

Want to add just one song to my wishlist not the whole album - please help. Without using iTunes Radio - using the iTunes Store

On an iOS device you can only add the whole album, if you only want to add individual songs then you will need to use your computer's iTunes.

Why can't I select just one album under artist view and listen to it from beginning to end anymore? Why would you change that?

Why can't I go under artist view in music app, select 1 of multiple albums by a specific artist and play the whole album from beginning to end? Why would you have it automatically shuffle between songs from several albums by the same artist automatically? How do we change this back to previous function because this is sucking big time for a music lover.

I agree this is a really dumb change and I really hope Apple changes it back to the way it was.
In iOS 6 and earlier when you were in the Music player and selected ARTIST it would show a list sorted by artist. When you selected the artist you wanted, it would show a list of their albums. Then you could select the album and see the list of songs. In iOS 7 after you select Artist, it displays the album and every track, so you have to scroll down through not only the album but every track on that album. That was a really stupid change on Apple's part. Makes no sense.
Here is the list of albums under iOS 6.x...
and here is what is looks like under iOS 7.0
In iOS 7.0 you have to scroll down through all the songs to see the other albums. That can be a really pain if you have a large music collection.
Please Apple change it back to the way it was!! This didn't need to change!

In 4.0.1, if I have multiple firefox windows open, when I try to close one window, it closes all. Why can't I close just one window at a time?

I open multiple Firefox windows so that I can quickly Alt+Tab between windows instead of using my mouse to point to tabs. When I close one of my Firefox windows, the browser closes all my windows. What happen to the "Close" feature under the File tab? Why don't I have the option to close only one window at a time?

I don't understand what happened above, but ericn1, wasn't your problem that you tried to close one browser window using the red X, and ALL of them closed? How did any of the above help you solve your problem? jscher2000 gave you alternate methods of closing windows but said that closing a window with the red X "should" work. It doesn't work, because it is closing ALL your windows, not just the one you are clicking on. I am now having the same problem. with Firefox.
Understand I do not have the problem with any other program. In other words, I can open multiple windows in Paint Shop Pro, IE, Notepad, etc. and close one with the red X and all others remain open. It ONLY happens when using the Firefox browser.
The red X should close only the window that you are in when you click on it.
NOW, before someone suggests tabs, I don't like them and don't use them. My choice. Before someone says my browser is out-of-date, (3.6.13) I am using it because it was the last version that worked reliably on my computers, both at home (Windows 7 Professional) and my office (Windows XP Professional).
When I updated to the last Firefox browser, both computers started seizing up (nothing worked and had to reboot using power button) Removing that version of Firefox and going back to this version solved that problem. Fact remains, version has little to do with this problem. I've seen other posts around the net about this with different (newer) versions of Firefox.
So . . . does anyone have a solution to this that doesn't involve using keystrokes or hot keys to close windows instead of the red X that should work properly?

Why can't you deauthorize just one computer?

Why is the only choice in the store to deauthorize ALL computers with an appleid/iTunes store account? My husband took my old mac book pro and removed all my info on it, but did not deauthorize the iTunes account first. Now, my phone won't sync with my new computer because we're up to our limit on devices with that iTunes account (try having one account since day 1 of iTunes, and now multiple computers and devices.
Isn't there some way to tell iTunes to stop associating that mac book pro with my phone (which is what it seems to be doing)?
And word to the wise -- do not let anyone use an old computer until you've deauthorized it. Once they start ripping out your data to put theirs in you really are totally (******) if they do it wrong.

The only thing that makes me nervous about that is this -- we had an iTunes account forever, and when the Cloud went live, they made us change the login and update our account information. Our original login id still syncs anything associated with it for updates (apps), even though we now use the new id for purchases. It's rather beautiful that it works like that -- asking for one login to update apps prior to the Cloud, seeming to know that it goes with those ... however, I shudder to think if we tried to reauthorize to that original id if the iTunes store would recognize it as a valid id, which could jeopardize all the original music and app purchases (years and years and years of legally purchased content).
We're going to have to try something else.

I use gmail on my ipad. Why can't I open any attachments? Not word files, not photos, nothing. Thanks

I use g-mail on my ipad. I have no trouble receiving mail, but I cannot open any attachments of any kind. Why?

For Gmail attachments, if they are PDF files (as well as many other formats) when you are viewing them on the iPad in Safari there is an option to "Open in iBooks" just below the tab you have open (at the top of the page).
From iBooks you can print them to a wireless printer easily.
Hope this helps.

Why can't I open subfolders when dragging and holding files?

When I drag-and-hold a file to a folder with the purpose of placing it into one of its subfolders, I can't go past the first folder: in other words, unlike Mavericks, where I could drag the file and open one folder after the other until I could just release my file into the final destination, since I installed Yosemite I can't do it any longer and when I place the dragged file over a subfolder all I see is a "+" sign, but the folder won't open.
Is there a way to restore that functionality?
Thank you!

See if it works in both another user account and while booted into Safe Mode.
OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support
If it works in another account, it is something interfering with it in your user account.
If it works in Safe Mode, then it is something that runs at startup.

Can anyone help me...Why Can't I open a compound clips containing missing files?

I Have been using FCPX for only a short time and I have a few unfinished projects on the go. But after tidying up an reorganising my hard drives putting FCPx Projects and Events on an external drive. I find some of my projects with compound clips show this horrid warning icon for "missing files". I am want to relink the missing clips but FCPX will not allow me to open the compound clips so I could see what are the missing ones... so, can anyone help find a way to re-link or recover those missing files.

File browser? You mean the compound clip is in the project but not in the event? What version of the software are you using?
Select the compound clip and use Clip>Reference New Parent Clip. Does that work? Try relinking the project files.

I just downloaded Lion, why can't I open Word?

I just downloaded Lion, why can't I open Word?

If they are all PPC-only applications, then yes. CS2 is incompatible with Intel machines. Not knowing how old your iMovie version is, but if it goes back to the same time period then it won't work either until you upgrade all the old software to Intel or Universal binaries from the respective developers.
You can revert back as follows. Erase the drive and restore your Snow Leopard backup or:
Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.
