[QUOTE="NewbieLoriMcWil, post: 1402671, member: 251774"] Hello from a new Macbook Pro 13 user. My windows pc was dying after the latest updates; having my fill of dealing with issues in Windows, I made the leap to Mac. While waiting for delivery I backed up all of the pc files that were not already on cd. Since the update corrupted the cd creator and drive, in the end, I emailed pdfs and Word docs to myself to download to the new laptop which has Word for Mac installed. I'm having several issues 1) I "saved" or downloaded a word .doc which prompted Word for Mac to open - however, it was a blank page. I opened it in preview and had the same result. 2) I had several personal videos uploaded to myspace that I wanted to download to the new macbook - I downloaded Firefox as recommended but was unable to successfully download the videos....so I moved back to the email attachments deciding to tackle the videos again later... 3) I downloaded a pdf file which came with an added extension...it reads .PDF.flv and opened in Quicktime - but only the first page is readable. I tried with Preview and the same thing occurred. It should be noted that I was not using the "mail" app to read and download the attachments. I check my email directly at yahoo and do not use an email program. This may or may not be part of the issue. I thank you in advance for any help you can give me. [/QUOTE]
