  • Could not open file .jar on my windows 7

    Currently, I go to school online and we use Blackboard. I can't see or hear online presentations have .jar to the end of the file. Anyone know why? Can I use my old laptop with Vista and it works, but windows 7 does not work. Any suggestions?

    Note: I should have mentioned that I have installed Java several times and had the Tech Help. All they can say is that there is a problem with my windows 7. I tried everything Basic. Anyone has any ideas that are not conventional? Thank you!

    Hi Maggie,

    The .jar files contain Java applications (jar means Java ARchive).  You need the Java runtime environment installed on your computer to be able to run Java applications.  It's not made or provided by Microsoft software.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JAR _(file_format)

    I suspect there was an installation process, that you went through initially to use the Blackboard application on your system...  Your best bet is to go through this configuration once more on your Windows 7 system.

    However, if you want to dive into the nitty gritty, the Java runtime environment can be installed directly from the Sun Microsystems website online:

  • Flash Pro CS5 shows does not text when I test movie/export... only on the stage.

    Exactly what the subject says. I am a novice and regardless of how I export the thing (such as a picture or a movie and in any format), I can't see the text. It's particularly frustrating, because the text is the entire basis of my animation.

    Tried to convert text to clips, no difference. The weird part is, I could test the thing early on with no problem - text displayed and any. I should add: I have used SEVERAL fonts... and I think it was when things started does not.

    An answer to this would be greatly appreciated. I'm working on a deadline and if you know how to solve this problem, it would make a big difference in my life.

    EDIT: They are not unusual fonts - Helvetica, Times New Roman, etc.

  • Album does not save it properly; can't see status of backup in the preferences; cannot disconnect.

    I use PSE 9, currently on the Mac (moved from PES 9 on PC about two months ago). I noticed that the last album, which I have added to the PSE has yet the indication of backup head double arrow next to it, and these images are indeed not in my online account. Generally, this happened on my PC, as I click the account as in PES, enter my password and no matter what I would say that it was incorrect. I'd hit him then "disconnect", re - enter my credentials with the same password I had used, and the system would begin then successfully back up again.

    Unfortunately on the Mac, when I hit the "Sign out" link in the dialog box asking my password (after clicking on my link "welcome...") ("in PSE), he doesn't sign me out - he paused for 20-30 seconds with the color wheel, then just shows that I'm always connected. If I try to go to preferences-> backup, I get a message that there was a problem and I should re - open the preferences later. If I force the background backup process to stop by rt - by clicking on the icon in the Mac menu bar, it indeed closes correctly; However, when I reactivate it is PSE under preferences, as soon as I touched the checkbox, it tries to connect to my account online, and then gives me the same error saying I should «...» Close preferences and try again. »

    Can someone give me some advice as to why a) the backup in PSE 9 finally seems to fail and must be disconnected / reconnected b) why the "Déconnexion" link does not work, or why my password is not accepted within PSE only?

    Yes, I was able to connect via a browser (or same PES - just not the Organizer!) all this time and I use only about half of my space.

    I also posted on another forum PES and was directed to the solution - I had to remove the com Adobe.Pulse.plist file in my user library path and voila' I was able to connect inside the PSE Organizer and re - start the backup synchronization.  You don't know why the problem occurred, but this fixed!

  • Occasionally Safari for Mac does not load web pages; Firefox is loading of web pages. The possible reasons?

If I turn off my wifi then return (on the macbook), the page will load temporarily. On the other hand, Firefox does not have this problem and loads web pages normally. Possible reasons or solutions?

    I do not think that the problem comes from my internet connection or your router because my iPhone Safari normally connects under the same network.

  • Selection tool will not drag over the items. Moves the page instead. Items stay in place

    It drives me crazy! I have not used the program in a few months and I'm guessing that it updated. Everything is different, and now when I try to select an item and move it, or select multiple items at once and move them, nothing happens. When I drag and output, the entire page moves, but everything I wanted to do move remain on-site. I can move them if I select each item individually, hold the shift key while clicking. Then allows me to drag this selection. How can I select all at the same time? Used to be able to drag over the area and he would choose everything.
