Can't open .nib files on Intel iMac with IB

I'm trying to edit .nib files for my lab (have had no trouble until now) and they won't open. I keep getting the "can't open" error.
This is my first time trying to edit an x86 based .nib file, is there something different, is there a way around this? I have permission to open them (even tried root).
Dave

Interface Builder .nibs aren't actually files but are packages. In the Finder, you can Control-click on them and choose "Show Package Contents" to view inside of them.
Inside of a .nib file you save from Interface Builder, you'll find the following files (which are actually files):
objects.nib (Pre-10.2 nib format)
keyedobjects.nib (10.2 and later nib format)
classes.nib
info.nib
The "objects.nib" and "keyedobjects.nib" files are the actual archived objects of your nib, while the "classes.nib" and "info.nib" are secondary files that allow you to open the .nib file in Interface Builder to edit it. Without the "classes.nib" and "info.nib" files inside the .nib, you won't be able to open the .nib in IB, yet the nib will still work properly for the application it's part of. Before releasing an application, some developers will remove the classes.nib and info.nib files from the .nibs in their apps to prevent end users (or their competitors) from being able to open and/or tamper with their nibs in Interface Builder.
Make sure all the parts are inside the nib files and see if they'll open. Otherwise, you might check the Console to see if anything is reported when you try to open the files.
Hope this helps.....

Can not open .pages file on new iMac Mavericks

Cannot open a .pages file on 2014 iMac with Mavericks. Pages v 5.2.2 says there is a newer version but I cannot upgrade Pages either. Thoughts?

Hi katmcg,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I know that situations that keep you from opening documents can be very frustrating. The new version of Pages that is being referred to is Pages 5.5 and is available with Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite.

Can't open orf files in Photoshop CS5 with latest updates.

Hi folks,
I have a user having trouble opening orf files. When the problem was first brought to my attention we couldn't open nef files either. I installed the Adobe Camera Raw plugin and then the nef files could be opened but not the orf files.
Does anyone know why this would be and what can be done to fix the problem?
Thanks for any help you can give.

It may be that the camera is not supported by the camera raw 6.7 plugin for photoshop cs5.
(camera raw 6.7 is the newest camera raw plugin supported by photoshop cs5)
Is camera raw 6.7 the plugin you installed?

If the camera(s) are not supported by 6.7, then you can use the 8.7 dng converter to convert the files to dng copies, which photoshop cs5 should then be able to open.

Can't open AEP file, crashes AE 6 with error messages...

I've been rendering a 3D scene for a few weeks and got all the final frames finished on Thanksgiving. I've been composing them all weekend and one particular file I had all put together and then saved it and closed it and tried to open it Adobe Media Encoder to make a final video to send off to the client. Encoder repeatedly would hang at 100% opening the file, so I decided to open up AE again to see what was up and sure enought the file itself wouldnt open anymore. I get the error message [After Effects error: crash occurred while envoking effect plug-in "Auto Level"] and then [After Effects error: Crash in progress. Last logged message was:<3376> <Dynamic Link> <5> C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS6\Adobe Premiere Pro.exe]. Then it crashes completely and asks if I want to save the file. Of course the resulting saved file is only a fraction of the oriiginal file size and doesnt open either. I tried emptying the cache files and turning on caps lock, tried to import the file into a new project and even place it on the Premiere timeline. No dice, nothing I know seems to work. I'd really rather not have to redo the 10+ hours I spent composing all those layers and re-adding back all the effects work. I can see all my compositions in the background while its crashing (which just pains me). Any way I could get my file back into a useable state?? Wouldn't care if I needed to re-do some of it, but deadline is approaching fast and I just can't be spending all the time to redo this one scene.
I'm on a 6core i7 PC, Win7 64bit OS with 32Gb of Ram and an Nvidia 670GTX 2Gb video card , 2 internal SSDs set as RAID for the boot drive. Of course this is all in After Effects CS6 from the master collection. Everything is latest driver as of 4 weeks ago when I started all of this (brand new machine!). I am composing 16bit PNG image sequences, and adding standard color corrections and image tuning, as well as a pass in Red Giant Looks, Re:visions Reel Smart Motion Blur and Video CoPilots Optical Flares.

What Dave said. MP is hopelessly overrated. Sometimes it works splendidly on simple projects, most of the time not so much when you throw halfway complex stuff at it. In your case it would have been quietly disabled behind your back, anyways (read this for reference: After Effects Help | Memory and storage), but with AE anything is possible. I suspect that a conflict between hardware acceleration features for another effect or footage decoding made things go boom in your case, but without knowing al lthe details, it's impossible to tell what exactly caused the breakdown.

Can't open pdf files in Windows 8 with Acrobat XI

I have windows 8, and Mozilla Thunderbird email client. When attempting to open PDFs I get this message "Adobe Reader could not open 'Wiring Invoice 409343281 Dated 04_05_2013-2.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)." I have tried documents from numerous different sources, all with the same result. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, repaired, restarted, etc. I did not have this issue with XP and Acrobat reader X. HELP!! I cannot print invoices until this is corrected....thanks!

Hi,
Are you try to open PDF file attachments from Mozilla Thunderbird.?
Could you try to save the PDF file locally and then try to open the PDF file?
Or try downloading sample PDF from here http://www.samplepdf.com/sample.pdf and open it in Adobe Reader.
Thanks

Can't open opml files anymore

All of a sudden i couldn't open opml files in programs like MindNode Pro, Tree (outliner) and Neo (outliner). Though I still can import opml into Neo via the import option, i can't open a opml file directly in the Open dialog. Also in MindNode Pro and Tree the Open dialog does not recognise opml files as a viable file format. The opml files are all grayed out and impossible to get hold. If I try to open a file via file assosiation with Tree in the Finder, the error message informs me tha:
"The document “Testscrivopml.opml” could not be opened. Tree cannot open files in the “Open Markup Language Document” format."
Likevise with MindNode Pro (open opml file via Finder):
"The document “Testscrivopml.opml” could not be opened. MindNode Pro cannot open files in the “Open Markup Language Document” format."
Everything was fine a week ago. I suspect I have installed a program that have overwritten something at system level or something.
Both MindNode Pro and Tree are bought in Apples App Store, and I have tried re-installing both. That move didn't sort things out... By the way, I can't open opml files on my iMac anymore either (Snow Leopard), which is more or less a mirror app wise of my Macbook Pro (Lion 10.7.4).
Ideas or solutions anyone?

Yes, I have read the FAQs at several of the apps that are not working, not a sentence about my problem there. I have of course also searched the WWW and several forums. I figure something is wrong with the relationship between the .opml file association and some kind of shared library? Or?

Microsoft Office 2004 (Word) unable to save files
I have been running Office 2004 on my Intel iMac with Snow Leopard for some time and all of a sudden I cannot save a document. Word just stopped responding and I have to force quit. I can open Word and create a new document but I cannot save it. I reinstalled Word but that didn’t help. Then went to the Internet and found at least one other Mac user having the same problem which it suggests is caused by a recent Mac Security Update:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2004-macword/word-2004-wil l-not-open-or-save-documents/b04eb870-9b0d-4f3b-bb47-b122301e36f6
So I check for a new Mac Security Update and sure enough there was one. I downloaded it and now Word seems to be working, as it should. I can both open and save files. The only problem remaining is that when I open Word I get the following error message “An unexpected error occurred while trying to load the Microsoft Framework library”. I contacted Apple but they were unable to help.
How can I get rid of this error message?

Look, I realize you might have to get your machine working, so this is how you revert back.
Restore proceedure to pre-Security Update 2012-001 v 1.0 & v 1.1
#1 Backup your personal data off the machine.
Backup files off the computer (not to TimeMachine). If you don't have a external drive, get one and connect to the USB/Firewire port and simply drag and drop copy your User folder to the external drive, it will copy all your files. It's best to have two backups of your data off the machine when trying to restore.
Disconnect all drives now to prevent any mistakes from occuring.
#2 Reinstall OS X 10.6 from disk
Get out your 10.6 install disk and make sure it's clean and polished (very soft cloth and a bit of rubbing alcohol, no scratches) If your disk is borked, you'll have to order a new one from Apple with your serial number.
Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk (wired keyboard, internal optical drive), use Disk Utility First Aid to >Repair Disk of your internal drive (do not format or erase!!), Quit DU and simply re-install 10.6.
Note: Simply reinstalling 10.6 version from disk (without erasing the drive) only replaces 10.6.8 with 10.6.x and bundled Apple programs, won't touch your files (backup anyway) or most programs, unless they installed a kext file into OS X itself. (only a few on average do this)
#3 Update to 10.6.8 without Security Update 2012-001 v1.0 or v1.1
Reboot and log in, update to 10.6.8 via Software Update, but EXCLUDE THE Security Update 2012-001 by checkinig the details and unchecking the blue check box.
#4 Reinstall any non-working third party programs
When you reboot, make sure to reinstall any programs that require kext files installed into OS X, you'll know, they won't work when you launch them or hang for some reason as they are missing the part they installed into OS X.
If for some freakish reason you get gray screen at any time when booting (possible it might occur when you reinstall older programs), hold the shift key down while booting (Safe Mode, disables kext files) and update your installed third party software so it's compatible with 10.6.8.
https://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570
That's it really.

Why can't I open .webloc files on my iMac 10.6.8?

I want to open files which have the extension <.webloc>. The file reaches my iMac but I can't read it, it stays blank and just sits on my desktop. I'm not sure but I think when I open 'Spotify' that has a <.webloc.> extension!

Well, I'm partially wrong in my statement. .webloc files do contain data in the data fork and the resource fork. From the Terminal.app you can read both forks. Let's list both forks in a .webloc file that is linked to this thread->
[KSH_93u+]:Desktop $ ls -l "Why can't I open <.webloc> files on my iMac 10.6.8? .webloc"

-rw-r--r-- 1 mark staff 494 Oct 23 08:11 Why can't I open <.webloc> files on my iMac 10.6.8? .webloc/..namedfork/rsrc
Both forks contain data. Now let's look at the data in both forks->

how can open Microsoft file on my iMac

It depends on the type of file. What extension does it have?

I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing".

I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing". Original file is written on iMac (2014) and saved to an USB stick and then transferred till macBook Pro (2009, Yosemite) for editing. Then I shared the files by iCloud but I am not able to open them on iMac again. Niether can I use the USB stick to transfer the edited files back. I'm running Pages '09 4,1 (923) on the macBook and Pges 5.5.2 (2120) on the iMac.
Håkan

Pages 5.5.2 is extremely incompatible with even other Macs let alone the vast majority of PC and MsWord users out there, so not a good idea to leap into the fire with both eyes shut.
After having done that to the first Pages 5 files, Apple has repeatedly done it to even the most minor point updates. Apple can't even anticipate its own erratic changes let alone what everyone else needs doing.
