Excel 2008 wont open excel files from at WHS network share.

hi all
i have a strange problem here, i own a mac mini the 2.53ghz model bought a month ago, and a macbook (the white model) also bought a month ago, both running all the latest software updates, and office 2008 for mac, with all the latest updates
on the mac mini, i can´t open any excel documents that are stored on a shared folder on my windows home server, it just says
excel cannot open this file the file might have been damaged or modified from its original format
but when i try to open the same document on the macbook, it opens just fine?
i have tried to remove office 2008 and reinstall it on the mac mini, but that didnt help, and the strange thing is if i move the excel files, from my windows home server, to another windows home server, it opens just fine on the mac mini
i then suspected that it was the WHS that was ****** up, and deleted the account on the WHS where the folders were stored, rebooted the whs, and added the account again, but with the same result, the mac mini wont open the excel files, it will open word files, from the same folder.
and the macbook will still open both excel and word files, from the same folder?
i´m really confused now, and cant seem to pinpoint the error, and hope that someone can give me some pointers of where to look?
sincerely

You're pobably better off posting your question on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac products, as it's their software you're having issue with:

Elements 13 wont open raw files from Nikon d750

Elements 13 wont open raw files from Nikon d750 camera, wont update either from the help menu, any ideas what to do.

carper
According to Adobe document, you require installation of at least Camera Raw 8.7 for your Nikon 750 for your Photoshop Elements 13 and Premiere Elements 13.
https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
And, I believe based on the following that Photoshop Elements 13 Premiere Elements 13 ships with Camera Raw 8.6.
https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
Consequently, the solution appears to revolve around getting the Help Menu/Updates to work since there is no manual install of Camera Raw 8.7 for 13.
Until the Premiere Elements update problem is resolved, you may have to resort to using the Nikon software. There is also the DNG 8.7 Converter
which you can download from Adobe link, not requiring the Help Menu/Update as does Camera Raw 8.7.
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 8.7
There have been several reports of Help Menu/Update failures. I have not seen a generalized solution. I can only offer the
the typical "Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?"

Aperture wont open raw files from my panasonic fz18

Hi Everyone, I have been using aperture 3 for about a year and have no problems opening raw files from my nikon camera but I thought I would use my old panasonic FZ18 when I go kayaking just in case the camera gets wet. To my surprise when I downloaded my raw files into Aperture from my FZ18 they would not open. Is there a codec or program update that will enable Aperture to open my raw files.
Thanks Colin

The FZ18, FZ35 and later are not supported by Apple RAW processing mostly due to the exotic barrel distortion correction that needs to be applied for wide angle shots. Even Adobe DNG converter will not convert the .RW2 files to DNG unless you use dngsanitize to remove the lens correction metadata. You can then bring the DNG files into Aperture.

Excel 2010 cannot open ~xlsx file from WD ShareSpace

Excel fails to open an ~xlsx file from the Western Digital NAS. It shows downloading .... than fails cannot open file.
The file was previously fine and if it is copied the copy opens easily. If the copy is renamed I can use Excel's recent files option to open it. The old file cannot be opened even if renamed.
I can typically use the file for a day or so, then it becomes unusable. It cannot be opened from another Windows 7 machine either but again a copy is accessible.
The files are small typically 100Kb, password protected
Windows and Office are up to date on both machines
The problem is becoming more frequent with no apparent cause
I have tried opening from explorer, the recently used files list in Excel, and file ... open
I have tried using mapped drive, UNC name, IP address
The network location is recorded as trusted
Although there is the potential to share the file it has not been opened by other users in between working and entering the state where it cannot be used.
When a file is unusable in Excel right clicking in explorer takes a long time to offer the normal context menu. However if the file is selected then copy/paste is quick and unaffected.
Please can anyone help me fix this annoying issue.

Hi,
According to your description, I have some questions.
Would you share us the whole error message when opening the special Excel file?
Did the copy file work well in the NAS?
Did you move the special Excel file to another NAS folder to test?
Did the special Excel file works well in the local disk (Download it)?
Then, I suppose that the file may be used by other program\handle\process in the background during opening process. Please try to use the tool named
Handle (It is a utility that displays information about open handles for any process in the system. You can use it to see the programs that have a file open, or to see the
object types and names of all the handles of a program.) to check.
Steps:
Copy handle.exe to C:\Windows\system32 folder.
Run cmd.exe as administrator
Type handle -a C: /Test/test in command prompt, then it will list all handles and processes accessing this folder.
4. It shows that cmd.exe is accessing c:\Test\test. Then, we can use
handle –c command to close the handles, along with
the handle ID, and the process ID, and the "-y" switch to confirm the delete.

CS3 wont open .psd files from Lightroom

I am working on a Mac in Lightroom 2.6, when I use the keyboard shortcut for open or toggle a file to open in CS3, the menus open alongside of the CS3 window but the images itself is not opening. I attempted to use the selection edit in CS3 without success also. I am able to use the selection edit in Photoshop Elements and the image opens in Photoshop Elements and I am unable to get the files/images to open in CS3. I might have struck an errant key at some time. I am about to pull what little hair I have left out. If anyone has the cure or remedy, it will save me from being bald thanks

Right-click on the psd in LR and select 'Edit in PHotoshop'.That will open it in Photoshop with its current filename or a new filename with Edit added to the end, with or without any LR edits you may have added to it.

Opening an Excel 2003 file in Office 2010 Universal Data Connection error when opening the file from a domain.

Hi.
One of my users are having problem with old accounting files in Excel 2003 when opening Excel 2010.
The user experience that linked information is not being updated properly.
And suspects that it something do with Universal Data Connection .
How can an Excel 2003 spread sheet be converted to Excel 2010 spread sheet and still contain active links?
When the user is opening and converting the file as mention in your suggestion, on the common share on a common domain, the links "breaks".
we are not using SharePoint on our domain.
But when doing it on a local machine, the links does not "breaks".
Looking forward to get solved to this problem.
Thank you in advance.
Rgds

it sounds link, the links changed from relative paths to absolute path. You need to use absolute path in original file.

"Unable to read file" error in Excel 2010 when downloading .xls file from IE11

We have lots of reports that have links for our users to be able to download report results in Excel format. We accomplish this by using the Excel mime type in our .asp pages. Sporadically, we are seeing "Unable to read file" errors in Excel 2010
after choosing Open from the IE11 save dialog. Choosing Save/Save As and the file will open just fine.
Also, we can sometimes cause the error to occur more frequently by switching windows during the time when the file is downloading.
If the file is opened directly from /Temporary Internet Files then it opens just fine.
Window 7 64-bit
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I found you replied in a similar thread, did you try the workaround (Reset the IE) that provided there? Did you change a browser to test?
Then, I suggest we use Process Monitor to do further troubleshooting. Please collect all the actions of IE.exe and Excel.exe, and check the if there are some
error message/code during you open XLS file from IE 11.
Hope it's helpful.

I have recently updated my CC programs to the latest version and now all of my files wont open by default into their respective programs, only if I open the program and go to file open and open the file from there. How can I fix this?

I have recently updated my CC programs to the latest version (CC2014) and now all of my files wont open by default into their respective programs, only if I open the program and go to file>open and open the file from there. How can I fix this?
I have tried 'Open with' and the version of the program now installed on my computer isn't even suggested as an option and when I browse for it, the file wont open with it anyway

On Windows (don't know about Mac), the latest version will always take over the file association, and become the default for indd files. It's impossible to change it.
But there is a plugin for ID that makes this possible. Never tried it myself.

My windows(8.1 64bit) partition is read only from the mac(yosemite) side of things. Anybody have a clue on how to fix this? Also, slightly frustrating as well, windows crashes every time I attempt to open a file from the mac partition.

All Office applications will also try to open a temporary work file in the same location as the source file. This implies the source file directory also needs to be writable for this temporary file. Since the default HFS+ driver provides only read-only access, such temporary files will fail to open, and will cause the application to fail.
As a test copy the file you want to edit, say an Excel spreadsheet from the OSX file system to the C: drive on the Windows side and try to open it. If you look in this directory, you should see two files, the source and a temporary file. You may have to force the temporary file to be opened on a read-write file system, by manipulating the folder for temporary files.

Sorry, yes this is Microsoft Excel. The Microsoft XP has Excel files denoted as xl, the later versions of Microsoft Excel are denoted as xls files. The later verions of Microsoft Excel open the xl files OK, does Excel for Mac not able to do this?

Very slow opening PDF files from Windows Explorer

When I open a file from within Acrobat X Standard - whether through File>Open or the recent files list - the file opens very quickly. When I open a PDF file from Windows Explorer, it takes 10 seconds or longer for the file to open. Is this an Acrobat issue or a Windows/system problem? (I don't experience the same delay when opening Word and Excel files from Windows Explorer.)

I had to install adobe reader, but PDF's used to display just fine with IE, any idea what happened ?

There is probably a way to hack your system into work with ACR 8.3 using the plug-in ZIP file from this page and copying it manually to the specific folder where it needs to go:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/camera-raw-84-support-policy.html#To%20run%20Came ra%20Raw%20on%20Mac%20OS%2010.6,%20Windows%20XP,%20or%20Windows%20Vista,%20remove%20the%20 8.4%20plug-in%20and%20manually%20reinstall%20Camera%20Raw%208.3
Download the 32-bit version of ACR 8.3 from the page, above.
Unzip it to the file Camera Raw.8bi.
Copy that new Camera Raw.8bi over the top of the existing one in this folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 12\File Formats
Then install the DNG Converter 8.3 as mentioned in the page, above.

I am trying to open CR2 files from a Cannon EOS 1DX camera in Photoshop CS6 and I have already updated the Camera Raw Plug in but Photoshop is still giving me the cannot open files dialog box? Help?

I am trying to open CR2 files from a Cannon EOS 1DX camera in Photoshop CS6 and I have already updated the Camera Raw Plug in but Photoshop is still giving me the cannot open files dialog box? Help?

Canon 1DX support was added to ACR in version 6.7, 7.1. An updated CS6 should be at level ACR 8.6. If your ACR is not at level 8.6 try using CS6 menu Help>Updates. If that does not install ACR 8.6 try downloading the ACR and DNG 8.6 converter and see if ACR 8.6 will install into your CS6.

Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac) won't open .arw files from my Sony RX100. How do I get and install the right version of Camera Raw?

Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac) won't open .arw files from my Sony RX100. I was told to update Camera Raw to at least 7.2. I tried to download this but got a DNG Converter instead. Where is Camera Raw? (it does not show up in a search of my hard drive. There is a folder of camera profiles but no extension or plug-in with this name). How do I find out what version I have already? How do I get the correct version? . . . OR . . . is it the case that Bridge will never open Sony raw files directly and I will have to do a separate conversion process every time I want to use a raw file??. Can someone explain this?
Thanks.
