Finder cannot find the necessary application to open a file.

Finder becomes more stupid (is that a Word?)! For example, I double click on a Word file with the extension .docx and it opens in preview! Or I right click on a file and the appropriate application is not yet listed! This problem appeared only in the last few weeks; important changes will only have been the OS and Apple updated applications recommended.

Right click on the file for information. Select what app should open the file, and then select the check box to apply this selection to all files of this type.

    I can't refresh PC or create the recovery disk. He keeps going with error message "Cannot find the necessary files" and tells me to insert the recovery media. There is no system restore point, and I've upgraded to Windows 7 Windows 8 Pro without a disc, so I can't do anything. Help!

  • Is it possible to find the two sentences into one pdf file? For example, I know the words 'Here' and 'the answer' occur more than once in my document, but only once on the same page. I'm looking for this page.

    Is it possible to find the two sentences into one pdf file? For example, I know the words 'Here' and 'the answer' occur more than once in my document, but only once on the same page. I'm looking for this page.

    I tried to do this by using the search but it will find only them, if they occur as a long chain, that is to say "Here's the answer" rather than how they occur in the document it is to say "Here 's" a bunch of information that leads you to 'the answer'. The search feature so standard did not help.

    Then I tried to do this by using the tool to delete (obviously not the application of writing!) because it allows me to search for multiple words or phrases, however it is not highlight what page both are found. I tried to turn on the preference to enable deletions of comments and even if it meant that I could then go through all the comments, it's still not faster than my document is more than 1,000 pages, which meant there were too many total comments for me to be able to easily identify which page had both.

    Any ideas?

    There is no built-in way to search for two strings and limited to show only the results that appear on the same page.

    It can be done by using a custom script, however.

  • I'm in the Mexico and can browse the web but cannot get the roadrunner site to open the webmail server to allow access to e-mail.

    I'm in the Mexico and can browse the web but cannot get the roadrunner site to open the webmail server to allow access to e-mail. I worked around it through another proxy server, but navigation is a pain. does anyone know a solution to this problem? Roadrunner denies that it doesn't clog and so did the modem service here which is telmex?

    [moved]

    I had the same problem 2 weeks while in the Mexico.  I contacted the support TWC and the person to whom I spoke said he had to unlock something.  When he did, all my mail came in Outlook in the spam folder.  It was OK because I got my mail.

    I moved to a different House and now have the same problem again.  I've contacted support TWC and not had much luck. The second level support person and I spent more than an hour, the call of the Mexico using Vontage.  He has not found anything by the previous call that guided him by setting this time.  He said that he would open a ticket and call me in the next 24 to 48 hours.

    Is it reminds and solves the problem, I'll post how it was corrected.

  • Distiller will suddenly end/crash the * SECOND * time I open a file for conversion to PDF.

    The subject says it all: Distiller will suddenly end/crash the * SECOND * time I open a file for conversion to PDF.

    But I think I have an idea why this is happening. In general, I use Distiller to convert EPS or PS files as PDF files. In addition, almost without fault, I incorporate the required (only of Type 1) fonts directly in files EPS/PS (using the required format to PFA) so no local fonts on my computer are needed to be looked at to distill in to be embedded in the file PDF. they are already in the EPS/PS files.

    But yesterday, I tried to convert EPS/PS files to PDF using Distiller in which I had NOT embedded fonts Type 1 (PFA format, of course) in the source of EPS/PS files. All first this conversion would work (in which I select "open" and choose an EPS/PS file for conversion), but after this initial conversion, the * SECOND * time I clicked "Open" the file, Distiller would immediately close/crash.

    Then, I searched the web for answers and discovered that some people have trouble distilling to initialize if all their computer system fonts were read-only. So I went back to my EPS/PS files and embedded fonts Type 1 (PFA format) required in them and then - as if by magic - distill worked without a hitch: I could open and convert any number of them in succession, with distilling never close / crashing.

    Then, I found the reason why distilling had been crashing at the second attempted to open a file (once again, simply by pressing the "open" button to find a file to convert, * no * after selecting a file) must have something to do with distilling scanning fonts installed on my computer, when there was no PFA font incorporated to make reference to , and a read only font on my system was the cause of the problem. However, I have looked in both places of logic where my fonts must be located (c:\psfonts and c:\windows\fonts), but found * no. attributes * files fonts defined in 'read only' so, I'm stumped.

    I use Distiller Pro 10.1.1316 (acrodist.exe) on a machine to earn 8.1. I found similar positions, which dates back to 2004, about Distiller crashing immediately after opening when certain fonts are read-only; I haven't found a post about anyone successfully using Distiller to convert EPS or PS to PDF and then have the program crash when the "Open" button is pressed subsequently. The clues, anyone?

    Background: Distiller Server is a product discontinued long - ago - use of Distiller server is now simply prohibited, and LiveCycle PDF Generator is available for servers.

    Since you are not using Distiller Server and this forum is essentially abandoned, I recommend that you try the Acrobat - forum creation (etc.) instead.
