Miserable England
I have just transfered files to my new mac from my two other old computers.

First thing I noticed was that many documents such as jpg's or Pages files when viewed on the desktop displayed plain white files. So the suffix on the end i presume wasnt being linked with its application.

Also when i try to open (almost) all files I get "Couldn’t open the file. It may be corrupt or a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize."

Its almost lik quicktime is dead, but i had an issue with a pages file also where the file turned into a folder which when clicked 'tried' opening up in Pages, but then died.

Any ideas?
