The site seems to be a bit short on "system requirements" type information. Did you try this number to see whether they can let you know of any Mac-specific issues: "Contact the MIS Department at (602) 682-4100 regarding any computer related questions."

Yes I called the ECF help desk. They said they have NO help for Mac users and it's a computer issue.

Also I spent 1 hr 40 mins yesterday with Apple experts and they could not figure it out either.

This manual might be relevant: http://www.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/uploads/cmecf/doc-mac-users.pdf

You probably have worked through those suggestions already. It strongly implies that Firefox must be running in 64-bit mode. I believe that is the default out of the box, but some users configure Firefox using the Finder / Get Info to default to 32-bit mode so Firefox will work with Netflix. Probably not relevant to a work computer.

Could I suggest editing your original post to add [MAC] to the subject line? Hopefully this will attract Mac users who have more insight on the Java file loading issue.

That Ninth Circuit manual is the one that told me to go into Applications and mark the JNLP file, but the JNLP file does not show up in my Apps. Maybe the fix is to get that file into Apps? I don't know how to do that.

How do I check to be sure Firefox is set at 64 bit? Safari would not work, either, though, exactly the same problem as using Firefox.

I think I figured it out. When the dialogue box comes down to select a document, the documents are all gray because the document type is defaulted at "image" files. I changed it to all files and they showed up!! Hallelujah! Wondering why the Apple experts did not think of this....? At any rate I think I've solved it.

Thank you.

Glad you solved it. It sounds as though you might have discovered a difference between Mac and Windows file type filters: in Windows, if you set the type to images, the directory would usually would be empty, you would not see the files grayed out.

Hi, I have been having the exact same problem with ECF filing! Can you please tell me how you changed the filter from 'image files' to 'all files'?When I click 'choose file,' all of my files (other than images) are grayed out, but I don't see anything that lets me change the filter. This is extremely frustrating, and any advice you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

You need to try different browsers. Some, when you click to attach a document, do NOT have a dialogue box with the ability at the BOTTOM of the box to change the files you have access to, from image to other files. I think that Firefox shows the drop down box that let me change the type of files, while Google Chrome did not. Log out of the ECF filing and try going in with another browser until you find one that works. Good luck!

Firefox worked - Thank you SO much for your help!
