Opening Excel .xlsx files emailed from Windows computer

I have been unable to open an Excel .xlsx file sent as an attachment from an Windows computer. I did download the free version of WinZip Mac, and although I can open it, it is a read-only file. I want to be able to make changes and send it back as I am able to with .xls files. Stuffit doesn't work either. Apple support doesn't understand why I am unable to access it properly.

Considering you are the sender and receiver the solution should be easy. When you are getting ready to save the file on your MS Windows machine instead of saving do a "Save As" and you will see and option to save as .xls format. Once you do that your MS Windows 2004 version on your Mac will be able to read the file. However I think you're wise considering upgrading to Office 2011 on the Mac, that will be much simpler in the long term and you will have a version much more like your Windows version.
While I never used Excel 2004 on my Mac's I did use Excel 2008 which I disliked. However I have since upgraded to Office 2011 and so far found that to be a really nice product.
Best of luck,
Roger

How to open NEF(RAW) files transferred from old computer.

I have Elements 10 with latest updates on a new computer(Windows 7). I transferred my picture files from my old computer (XP) that were in My Pictures. Old computer had Elements 3. I can't seem to open NEF files in Elemnets 10. On old computer I was able to highlight a NEF file and then select Open with Elements. I don't see that option with WINDOWS 7. How can I open NEF(RAW) files. Also the thumbnails of the transferred files are not created in Elements 10 organizer. How can I accomplish that?

Hi,
For opening the NEF files you could try the suggestions in this thread

Thumbnails not created: Do you mean there are no thumbnails or just big question marks?
Does the organizer show a count of items in the bottom left of the window?

I cannot open a session file sent from another computer?

Hey all! I just purchased AA 3.0 for home. Thing is, when I send myself a session file from work (through email), when I open the file at home, there is nothing. It shows the track, but there is no signal (on edit view). It is flat as if nothing were recorded. Any ideas? I'm extremely new to AA 3.0 and appreciate any help whatsoever. BTW, are there any tutorials out there that could help me get started? I use AA primarily for voiceover recordings. I really just need to learn (correctly) how to record, edit, enhance, and covert to mp3 my recordings. Thanks so very much! -matt c.

The session files only contain information on editing and no actual audio data. The tracks you've recorded are in files (probably .wav) somewhere in the project folder or wherever you told AA to save them when you hit the record button... So if you ever need to copy a session make sure to gather up all the files ascociated with it.
This little utility program might help when you need to gather those files... http://www.mediasweeper.com.au/sesbackup.htm
As for tuturials... Check out the audiomasters forum at www.audiomastersforum.net and do a quick search. Your sure to find everything you need.

I can't open a jpg file directly from an Outlook email attachment into Photoshop CC.

When I try to open a jpg file directly from an Outlook email attachment into Photoshop CC I get this error message " Photyoshop CC.exe - Entry Point not found" with this string:

I don't think I have ever been able to open an image directly from Outlook into Photoshop. What you can do, is drag from outlook to desktop, and then from desktop into Photoshop. Or, if seeing the windows at the same time is a problem, drag onto desktop, then minimise everything, and drag onto the Photoshop icon (if you have a Photoshop shortcut on your desktop).

How to open attachments in email from windows users.

That would be totally dependent on what type of file has been sent. What is the windows user sending to you?

How do I open an xlsx file from a website rather than downloading it?

When I try to open an .xlsx file from a website, it downloads and does not open. Before the last update, it would just open the file. How do I get it to open when I click on it rather than just download it?

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, that didn't work...it still just downloads it to the temp file and doesn't open. Any other ideas? It worked before the last update of Firefox.

You will havwe to sign up for some service that supports rights

to create your own ePub stuff using Digital Publishing Suite. In any case,
it will probably cost you money upfront before you make any revenue.

Problems with Excel xlsx files and Presentation Design 2011

Hello,
I just began using Presentation Design 2011 and have run into an issue and would really appreciate your help.
I have very large files in Excel 2007 format (.xlsx) that I need to import into Presentation Design. When I try to do so, it automatically opens the .xlsx file as a 97-2003 Excel file, and in hte process, I then lose a large portion of the data (the file is very large, and the space limitations in 97-2003 are not sufficient for all the data I have, so I receive a message about compatability indicating that the data goes beyond the space limit).
I have tried looking online for a fix to this issue, and I cannot find it. I just installed the service pack 2 patch 8 file, and this still does not work.
Will someone please let me know what I need to download or do to be able to import the xlsx files and maintain them in that format?
Thank you!
Curtis

Hi Curtis,
In the older version of dashboard design 2011, xcelsius 2008, .xlsx(excel 2007) files are imported and converted automatically to excel 2003 format. So there are some compatiability issues with both versions and also size limitations. excel 2003 cannot have more than 256 columns. I doubt same is the case with new version.
Inside the designer data is in excel 2003 format. So you cannot have data more than the limit and some formats. You should only be pulling in enough data to fill your components in dashboard and remove any unnessary information from the spreadsheet . Since dashboards are meant for summary data, importing very large excels files are not recommended.
Hope it helps you.
Regards,
Nikhil Joy

I need to move email from windows notebook, outlook to mac mail on my new macbook pro

i need to move email from windows notebook-outlook to mac
mail? need help?

Hi Linc, I started setting up my new computer a few months ago so don't remember the details. I did not use migration assistant, nor do I wish to, I believe it was set up through icloud. Now that I needed my calendar while doing taxes I discover there are no events for 2014 and earlier (except 2 oddly enough). I do remember that iCloud instructions were not clear as to what would happen in the choices it gave.
I copied my old user files over from my external back up after my old computer stopped working, was hoping I could put ical folders in the right place to be used by Calendar or import somehow.

Access linux file system from windows and vice versa

Friends
Do anyone of you have any idea about how to access linux file system from windows using java. Thanx in advance.
Regards
Rakesh

"Accessing" is vague. Do you want to read? write? Both?
Here are two ways I'll mention.
1. Write an ftp client for the "cleint" computer. I beleive java has some framework functions for doing this.
2. Write java RMI client and server to open, read or write, and close a file. Pass a byte array parameter containing each block of data.

I have an Imac, OS 10.6.8. For the last few months I cannot send email from my computer. I have called my ISP numerous times and they can't help. WHAT is wrong??

I have not been able to send email from my computer for several months. I have called my ISP numerous times and they can't or won't help. Out of the blue something will send that has been in my outbox for days. A new email address worked briefly but now does not. What is happening here??? Can this be fixed and how?

The red dots mean that you were unable to connect to the server, either because it's unreachable or because your credentials were rejected. The daisy wheels mean that the server is taking too long to respond.

Safari opening linked .zip files directly from DVD instead of downloading

Dear all,
Safari opening linked .zip files directly from DVD (via Windows explorer) instead of downloading it tru browser click - it's working just fine in FF, Chrome IE. Is this a known issue? or something can be done by modifying browser setting/pref.
Expecting more advise on this.
Configurations: Windows XP
Safari: 5.1.7
Note: ensured there is no space in the file path, just linked the .zip file using href attribute!
Also tried with .xls, .doc insted of .zip same issue appearing.
Thanks in advance,
Thirilog

Hi
appzapper & such are pretty flaky at removing things usefully, imo.
Use the uninstaller for speed download - http://www.yazsoft.com/products/speed-download/faqs/?how-to-un-install-speed-dow nload-properly
or get a hold of FindAnyFile or easyfind & search for Growl & Speeddownload & yazsoft - but from all I hear, the uninstaller works fine.
Failing that, Safari's settings plist file isn't in caches
Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.safari.plist
is the place
& if you're still stuck, test & maybe download another browser using a New User Account.

Disable "This file comes from another computer"

Hi, on all my adobe forms when i click on the properties, I see the message
"This file came from another computer and might be blocked to help protect this computer"
ever since i started getting this message, adobe forms don't work anymore and throws an error that the document properties have changed. I searched for a solution for this, but found many for fixing on Vista enterprise, but i run a vista home basic version. What do i need to do to resovle this issue that i can start using adobe forms again.
any solution is highly appreciated.

Describe the problem I am having in Detail. OK.
IE10 will not download a file. END. Error given is, "bla bla bla file could not be downloaded."
Wow...that tells me a lot??
I have to agree with others here. I have also encountered this same issue today. Cannot even download a friggin PDF. Absolutely ridiculous. Stop with all this security crap, because all it does is slow down
my workforce while they all try and figure out whats going on. We as users do not write this software, MS does. So why is it we the users have to jump through a zillion hoops to make your crap work. You (MS) should be doing this.
I used Chrome and guess what....it just works. Safari...just works......firefox../.just works.....MS IE whatever version never works right
The ONLY reason I would still need IE, is if I need to get to some MS site where once again, MS has created the Monopoly situation where I can ONLY use IE to get to these sites. Utterly bogus. No wonder everyone is beginning to hate you.
Another item is your new Compatibility view. Another nightmare to deal with. Managing my domain through various web interfaces, and I am always having to switch between modes depending on the application. Another huge waste of time.
Think I'll be going the way of Russia, and completely remove any and all Windows systems from our environment forever.
MS HAS BECOME MY BIGGEST TIME WASTER AS I CONTINUALLY HAVE TO TROUBLESHOOT CRAP LIKE THIS.
