I frequently get an "Unknown Import error" when opening an appleworks WP document with Pages.

I am trying to use Pages to convert Appleworks 6.9 WP documents - but I sometimes get an "unknown import error" dialog when I try to import the file into Pages.  What does this mean, and is there any way to get around it.  (I have not yet converted to Lion, so I can open the document in AW - but cutting and pasting into pages loses a lot of formatting so I would rather not have to go that route.)

Thanks.  I don't actually think this is generally the case, though.  (In fact, when I have had AW files that included graphics created by AW they seem to have converted smoothly).
Why can't Apple give an informative message instead of "Unknown Import Error"?

  • Getting 500 Internal Server Error when opening GC page

    There was no change in configuration and all of a sudden, I can not connect to GC. I did notice that OC4J for OC4J_EM is down and I can't get it to go "Alive". Can someone run opmnctl status and print the output for me?
    I'm on Windows 2003/GC 10.1.0.4. Anyone has seen this problem?
    Cheers,

  • Getting an "unknown publisher" error when downloading itunes

    I am trying to download the latest version of Itunes.  I keep getting an "Unknown Publisher" message from Internet Explorer.  I went through the troubleshooting and removed all apple apps.  Now I am stuck. Any ideas?

    That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • Tdm importer error when opening tdms file

    I am getting a error when trying to open a tdms file that had been opened by labview, written to, and then closed. The error is:
    USI encountered an exception:
    (175):Error while initializing interface
    I can sort of understand this error occuring when I have the file open in labview (actually I consider this to be a bug since there is no reason why another application should not be able to access a file in read only mode even if it is currently open by another application)
    but in my case I am definitely closing the tdms reference and it still will not import unless I stop the top level vi.

    It is a known bug that if you open a TDMS file with an option other
    than "read-only", no other process can get access to that file, even if
    it is just for reading. The issue is filed as CAR#  49794JWJ
    (status: fixed). This only applies if the file is still open, which you
    commented on, but which doesn't appear to be your actual problem.
    Apparently, you are using the Storage VIs to handle your TDMS files,
    otherwise you couldn't get a USI exception. Have you tried opening your
    file with the TDMS File Viewer on the TDM Streaming palette? If that
    doesn't work, please provide us with your TDMS file, and if possible,
    your VI. This would be a problem that we're not aware of at this point.
    Thank you,
    Herbert

  • Getting an "uncaught exception" error when trying to Scan a document via D-Link DPR-1260 print sever (worked in prior versions of Firefox)

    I'm using the interface (Firmware V1.24) on a D-Link DPR-1260 Print Server, connected to an Epson Printer/Scanner. When I hit the "Scan" button, I get an "uncaught exception" error. This firmware has been working for years (at least back to Firefox 3.x), but no longer works with Firefox V6.0

    Nothing really, but... The firmware runs in a web browser. It's been working fine for years and no longer works since I got the latest version of Firefox. It does, however, still work in IE (V9) so I do have a way to use my existing hardware.
    I tried D-Link and Google search for any information about this, but came up empty. I was hoping that there might be similar problems with other software with Firefox 6.0.2 and someone might have a work-around or there might be a patch coming soon. At the very least, someone associated with Firefox might be interested that they've apparently broken something that used to work.

  • Suddenly getting "Missing Plug-Ins" errors when opening .indd files in InDesign CS2

    I have a PC running Windows 7 and InDesign CS2. The laptop's installation of Windows was corrupted and I had to re-install the OS. I backed up all files, reinstalled the OS, and then reinstalled applications. One of those applications was InDesign CS2. However, after the installation of CS2 on the fresh copy of Windows, I noticed that I have trouble opening most, but not all, of the InDesign files on my hard drive.
    When I try to open a .indd file I see an error message pop up that says "Missing Plug-ins. LILO.APLN, DYNAMICDOCUMENTS.RPLN, CONDITIONALTEXT.RPLN" and three more. Under that list of missing plugins is the warning "This document uses one or more plug-ins which are not currently available on your system. Do you want to open anyway?"  If I click "okay" I then am met with another dialog box that says "Cannot open file. TEXT.RPLN, LAYER.RPLN" and on and on for about 60 more items.
    I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING! I've searched around concerning this issue and it appears the consensus is that the file was opened by a newer version of InDesign. That possibility is, in fact, an impossibility. Never have I used a newer version of InDesign. The files that I am working on were backed up, stored on local storage and not touched once before reinstalling the OS and reinstalling InDesign CS2.
    I also noticed that not all InDesign file formats were associated with InDesign in "Windows Programs and Defaults." I changed those to look to InDesign. I've also uninstalled InDesign CS2 and re-installed.
    Not all InDesign CS2 files are exhibiting this behavior. So far, it appears more than half are, but some can be opened with no problems. There seems to be no correlation between which ones are able to be opened and which ones can't be opened.
    What could have happened to these files and is there any possibility of opened them again? Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

    Conditional Text was a new feature in CS4. I'm thinking, can you explain how your old CS2 documents became aware of it?
    Not exactly sure myself. Abiogenesis?
    [Edit]
    Almost forgot. I wrote a script to unequivocally determine the InDesign version a document was last saved as:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4071273
    I'll give that a try today. Even an affirmative judgement that the files are newer than CS2 would not impress me however. The fact remains, the files were copied off one hard drive over to another, the plug was pulled on the hard drive, the PC was re-imaged, CS2 was reinstalled, the files were copied back over... and whammo.

  • Error when opening attachment in DRL Document

  • Receiving an error when opening up a new document

    Error below:
    I have uninstalled the program and run a registry cleaner to clean out any remnants that failed to uninstall.  Then I ran a new install, doing a complete insstall.   I opened it immediately after intallation, trying to open a new document, and the above happens.  Uninstalling and reinstalling does not seem to work.
    Any suggestions?

    Try removing your auto-activation plugins for font management, Extensis Suitcase Fusion seems to be generating a lot of this stuff.
    If that's not it, well, instead of force quit, run Activity Monitor and garner:
    1: Sample Process. Save to file
    2. View > Send Signal: Abort (SIGABRT). This will force a crash and crash report.
    Upload both files to http://pastebin.com/ and post a link here. Don't paste them in here, it makes the forum unnavigable.
    I'll look at them and tell you the cause of the crash (probably).

  • Keynote Unknown Import Error

    When trying to import a Keynote file created on the Mac into Keynote on the Mac, you receive "Presentation Couldn't be Imported Unknown Import Error". The problem is with garbage in text pasted from web pages into text boxes in Keynote on the Mac. It displays fine on the Mac Keynote, but Keynote on the iPad will not import the file. The solution is to paste text into TextEdit, make it plain text, remove any bullets or other formatting and then paste into Keynote.

    I have the same problem, but I am not pasting any text in from the web. My slides contain images and text I type in myself. I am using Keynote '09 on my Mac.
    I have this problem with EVERY keynote presentation I try to import. They all work great on my Mac, and completely fail to load on my iPad. I can (sometimes) get a test file to work with a single title slide (picture and words), but the moment I add additional slides it fails.
    Until this bug is fixed, the app is worthless. The point of this software is to be able to make presentations on your Mac -- if your iPad app can't load them, and can't even tell you why not, it's a complete waste of my $10. This should be a HIGH PRIORITY for Apple to fix.

  • Get file not found error when I try to sync

    I get file not found error when I try to sync Iphone.

    SteveDVD,
    The use of the .WMV was because that was part of the Library .EM template. I would not anticipate problems with other formats, so long as they are supported and the same for all of your Menus in the Project.
    If you have done several Motion Menu Renderings, you might want to clear Encore's Media Cache, just in case it is still referencing previous Render files.
    And yes, the re-Importation should yield the same result as Linking/re-Linking.
    Unfortunately, I do not have CS4, so I can't test this for you. There do seem to be a few real Bugs in the various CS4 programs, and maybe this is one?
    That "File Not Found" rings a bell in my feeble brain. Seems that there was a post on that, but I do not remember it being related to Motion Menus. Maybe search will yield something of use.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
