Why won't my downloads open? Some will and some won't.

I have been fortunate enough to be able to download images that I intend to use for an upcoming website. However, after downloading them, they won't open when I double-click on the download(s). Some will, and some from other websites will open. This occurs with other downloads that I have from other sites occasionally as well. It is very frustrating and I'm just not knowledgeable to be able to go in and try and find, or fix, the problem(s). They've been downloaded as .jpg files and I have imported the ones I could open into their own folder. What's my issue?

What is the file extension? Does that type file have a program associated
to it? Look at it using your file explorer. Right click and select '''Properties'''.

  • I have a Mac OS X and I'm trying to download Adobe Reader 11 and it won't open.

    I have a Mac OS X and I'm trying to download Adobe Reader 11 and it won't open.  I get it installed, however, when I click on the icon nothing opens.  Please help!

    Download AppZapper (it's a free trial - but once you see how it works, you'll agree it's worth the $12.95 to buy)
    Install it and open it.
    Drag the Reader.app from your Applications folder onto the AppZapper window
    "Zap" the file and all asociated files.
    Close AppZapper
    Go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plugins
    If the AdobePDFviewer.plugin or AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin files are present, trash them
    Empty the trash
    Download the Reader Installer again: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    Mount the DMG and run the installer.
    Launch Reader 11 from your Applications folder and accept the license agreement
    Reader will run properly from here on out.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

  • In Firefox 4 how can I cause the date on downloaded files to be the current date? (Some are and some are not. In FF3 the dates were ALWAYS the current ones.)

    In Firefox 4 how can I cause the date on downloaded files to be the current date? (Some are and some are not. In FF3 the dates were ALWAYS the current ones.)
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I upgraded to Firefox 4 (beta)

    Firefox 3.6.* and earlier set the downloaded file's modification time to the current time. In Firefox 4.0 the behavior has been changed, if a server returns a timestamp telling when the file was last modified (Last-Modified header), it is used instead.
    You can revert to the previous behaviour by using the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/93121/ Download Timestamp] add-on.

  • Why is itunes only downloading the first, fifth and ninth songs from any CD?

    Why is itunes only downloading the first, fifth and ninth songs from any CD?

    Did you perhaps intentionally select just those three tracks to import from one CD a while back, and is iTunes now remembering that selection? Do you see checkboxes against the list of tracks on the CD? If not Go to Edit > Preferences > General, and check the box for Show list checkboxes. CTRL-Click an empty checkbox to check all of them in one go.
    If that isn't the issue are you getting any error messages during the import? Will other software (WMP/MediaMonkey/CDEX etc.) rip the CD instead?

  • TS1702 I downloaded the iPhoto app and it won't work

    OK, then I'd suggest you ask for assistance in the iPhoto forum:

    This isn't an iTunes Store issue, so this isn't the forum where you'll be most likey to get help.

  • Recently downloaded chris stapleton song and it won't play. what's up?

    recently downloaded chris stapleton song and it won't play. what's up?

    Delete the track from the iTunes library, allowing iTunes to move the track file to the Trash. Then download the track again from the iTunes Store via this procedure:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    That fixes the problem for many people. If problems with the track persist, go here:
    iTunes Support
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
    Regards.

  • HT1211 I have songs in Itunes that at one time synced to my ipod. Now some do and some don't even if their box is checked

    I have songs in Itunes that at one time synced to my ipod. Now some do and some don't even if their box is checked. I also have the latest Itunes software.
    I can still play them in Itunes but some won't sync to Ipod and I don't know why.

    Hey pooleking,
    I'd start the troubleshooting with your iPod. You can find some basic steps to start with here:

  • How do I get my music from Media center to my iphone. Itunes won't import the MC music library, and MC won't recognize and synch to the iphone so I can't load playlists from MC to my iphone. Itunes help doesn't work.

    How do I get my music from Media Center to my iphone 4s. Itunes 10.5 won't import the MC music library, and MC won't recognize and synch to the iphone plugged into the USB port so I can't load playlists from MC to my iphone. Itunes help doesn't work.

    Hello and welcome to the support community
    As you know, your iPhone 5 is not compatible with our iBook G4. To get your music in iTunes from your iBook to your iPhone you would need to migrate the music files to a newer intel based Mac. A Mac which has Mac OS X 10.6 or higher installed. Then sync your iPhone 5.

    No one from Apple here - this is a user-to-user forum for the Apple Thunderbolt Display. If you don't like your iPad, sell it.

  • How do i highlight events on icalendar. Some are and some aren't.

    How do I highlight events on icalendar. Some are and some aren't.

    Hi shortonspices,
    If you are having issues with your iPad's Calendar event times not staying set, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Next, I would try restarting the iPad -
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPad as a new device -
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
