We have Mac Mini (Lion) Server which my colleagues access with PCs and Macs.
My problem is that if a MS Officer user tries to open .ppt, .xls and .doc files directly from the server, it won't work.
There is no problem in opening those files for Mac users.

Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.7.3), Server
I have a MAC OSX 10.6.8. My images aren't always opening up and sometimes the pages openup in an outline fashion without all the images. Sometimes it doesn't open at all and I get a message that "safari can't open the page".......this has been happening a lot within the last week. What can I do to fix this?

I have a very bizarre problem. This all started with me wanting to share some iWork '09 templates with a coworker. (On 10.6.1 btw)
The templates *should* be stored in Library->Application Support->iWork->Pages->MyTemplates
But through the finder, no such tree exists. I've got Library->Application Support->iWork'09 and that's it.
I opened up Pages and went to "Save as template..." By default it opens up a file picker dialog starts with the default template folder path above. I can navigate the tree in the file picker dialog (and all my template files are there) but in the finder no such directory exists.
I tried typing the name of my template files in spotlight and it can't find them. But I can open templates just fine in Pages.
Why files aren't going to the trash before beeing completely erased??

My FCP crashed last week and the only option left was to install OS 10 which enabled me to install the latest FCP. The 'update' thing didn't happen for me so I lost everything.
After redoing weeks of work, my plan was to return to my old system - exporting mpeg files in FCP and transferring them to my PC where I use Nero to make menus. This has always worked in the past. However, since updating OS X and FCP, any mpeg files aren't read via VLC on my PC. I have tried a whole array of export options (various codecs - H264/Apple Pro Res) but nothing works. I have tried to open the mpeg files on 2 computers but still no luck. Both computers have updated versions of VLC and Quicktime.

I'm presently using the Toslink connection for my DAC to room speakers. Can anyone confirm that a second USB connected DAC for headphones would also be live? In short, run two DAC's simultaneously?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm new to Macs, and I just downloaded Zipeg, which has worked for me when opening zip files. However, just seconds ago, I tried to open a program that I had just downloaded, but I don't know why it's not working. There's so many files that lead to so many more, but I just want to open the application. I extracted it all, but how do I open the program that is amongst many other files in Zipeg? Or maybe another file opener?

A lot of mkv or avi files I playback appear pretty choppy in VLC - my primary app for watching movies and tv shows.
I have a Drobo with two 2 TB SATA drives where I store all my stuff and which is connected to my mini via firewire 800.
I've tried playing the same video back from both the Drobo and from the internal hard drive, to see if the choppiness was on account of the external drive or not. No difference really. A choppy video remains choppy from either place.
It's pretty strange because some 1080p videos play just fine, with no choppiness whatsoever, while other 720p videos or even standard definition divx files are still choppy.
how would i connect an emac to a mini so that i can share files? the ethernet port on the mini is used for internet.

Recently the preview program has stopped working. I cannot open PDF files or image files, i.e. jpeg. The only thing I can think of that I've done recently is installing a program called "MailRaider." I just uninstalled it using a program called "Appdelete."
I tried this suggestion from the apple discussion forum that did not work:
Go to the finder, find one of the PDFs you can not open. then click on that PDF one time. go to the file menu, chose get info from the file menu. the inspector window that pops up will include a section on open with. expand that section and click on the open with menu and chose preview. then click the "Change All.." button.
all PDF should now open with preview. you can repeat this process with jpegs, gifs, tifs, pngs, extra as needed.
What else can I try? Do I need to reinstall the preview application? If so, how do I do that?
You'd think this was all pretty basic. It probably is.
I'm trying to open/edit '/usr/local/php5/lib/php.ini' with TextWrangler through Terminal. The TextWrangler part isn't an absolute requirement. The directory exists and I'm assuming the file does as well. (No 404-esq errors during my fumblings and it was a standard installation of PHP5)
Also, is there any way to browse through the above directory using the Finder's GUI? That would be nice.
I just downloaded a .mpg video file and when I tried to open it in QT it said that the file could not be opened. Any way around this like a plugin or something?
View 11 Replies View RelatedI just got my new MacbookPro. It is annoying that the Terminal is set as the default opener for those files without an extension name. For example, a file like "car" will be opened by the terminal when I double click it. The terminal will execute each line of the file as a command. Is there any way to set TextEdit.app as the default opener for any file that is not explicitly assigned to an application?
