Passworded Excel 97-2003 file will not open in excel 2013

I can not open a file that I have saved as a passworded 97-2003 excel file using excel 2013. When opening the file, it will ask for the password, I put in the password in, and excel freezes and then has to clkose because it will not open the file.
The file is NOT corrupt and will open on my computer with Office2007. I can actually create a passworded file with excel 2013 but save it as a 97-2003 version, but when I try to open that file it will not open either?
Please explain to me how I am suppose to get the information off my 97-2003 file on this excel 2013 version??????
AGAIN the file is not corrupt and I don't want to open my file with my 2007 version machine, I want this passworded 97-2003 file to open with my excel 2013 machine!!!!!!!
Please send me a fix to this, and I've check the forum. None of the work around options work. NONE, I've checked them all.
This only appears to be a problem with a passworded 97-2003 file. If it's not passworded it opens.

Hi,
I have not been able to reproduce as I am able to open password protected .XLS Binary Format Files with Excel 2013. Can you provide more information?
Also, I don't believe this is a SharePoint Question?

Since yesterday all my usual .xls files will not open (Office for Mac 2011). Can open .xlxs files. Default 'open with' is Microsoft Excel.app. No software updates done. Have repaired disc permissions. What next?

Since yesterday all my usual .xls files will not open (Office for Mac 2011). CAN open .xlxs files. Default 'open with' is Microsoft Excel.app. No software updates done yesterday or the day before (or maybe a Silverlight or an Acrobat one by accident?). Have repaired disc permissions. HHD name is still same as it always was. What next? Thanks
PS I'm not a great techie so assume I don't know what you're talking about!

You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type: ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

Follow these instructions to uninstall MacKeeper. They have been tested with the most recent version of MacKeeper (v 2.8). Earlier versions than the one released in 2012 require more extensive work to uninstall all its components.
The effects of having actually used MacKeeper to do anything are a completely different matter. The fastest way to take an exquisitely designed and painstakingly engineered Mac and make it run like a steaming pile of dung is to install and use such ill-conceived "cleaning" or "security" products. This is just one example of a broad category of time- and money-wasters capable of causing damage that can only be rectified by reinstalling OS X, restoring from a backup, or completely erasing your system and rebuilding it from the ground up. Never install such junk on a Mac.
If you used MacKeeper to encrypt any files or folders, use MacKeeper to un-encrypt them first.
Quit the MacKeeper app if it is running.
Open your Applications folder: Using the Finder's Go menu, select Applications.
Drag the MacKeeper icon from your Applications folder (not the Dock) to the Trash.
You will be asked to authenticate (twice):
You do not need to provide a reason for uninstalling it:
Just click the Uninstall MacKeeper button. You will be asked to authenticate again.
After it uninstalls you may empty the Trash and restart your Mac. All that will remain is an inert log file that does nothing but occupy space on your hard disk.

PDF files will not open in a Safari (v 6.0.5) browser window

PDF files will not open in a Safari (v 6.0.5) browser window, OS 10.8.5. Version 11.0.04 Adobe Reader and Plug-ins installed. Both local and internet files do not load. What is happening here?

Ok. I reloaded v 11.0.04 of Adobe Reader after quiting Safari 6.0.5 . Then deleted the 2 plug-ins AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin . Relaunched Safari and tried to read a pdf from a repository at the URL mentioned in post 10 . The file was loaded and displayed correctly. Also a pdf file from my local disk store displayed nicely as well. What I do not understand is that there is no listing of an Adobe plug in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins , nor does Safari list any Adobe plug ins. So in that case this means that plug-ins for the display of pdfs in Safari windows are no longer needed!
Adobe Reader version 11.0.04 is now working for me.
Thanks for the help and the solution C.F.McBlob

Freehand can't convert EPS files into editable vectors. I
usually run
EPS files through Illustrator and then into Frehand. If you
don't have
Illustrator you can convert the EPS into a PDF and that
Freehand will
sometimes convert into editable vectors (though it does
involve a lot
more clean up than going through Illustrator.)

Alternatively, install & use RawTherapee instead to develop your raw files instead (free and open source).

My Photoshop says it is up to date, but I am hoping that since this camera just came out, Adobe will have an raw file update soon.

DNG Converter is FREE. Yes, really. No subscription needed.
- Baloney, NOT FREE, it's a proprietary software, not open AT ALL, see Legal Notices, so stop trying to distort the truth here.
Camera Raw (& DNG Converter) 8.7RC has been available since 2nd October, and opens D750 files in Photoshop & Bridge (& Lightroom using DNG Converter).
Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw 8.7 Release Candidate | digital camera raw file support - Adobe Labs
- Still a cumbersome process for this of us that PAID for software and support, the whole point of this discussion is to implement this directly on LR, so we, the PAYING users don't have to waste time doing a useless process that could be EASILY AVOIDED ig Adobe released updates as they are needed, or if they OPENED THE SOURCE CODE so the community could do it.
Adobe created DNG, which is a well-documented backwards-compatible format, which is free for any manufacturer to use.
See here for manufacturers who do (it's an old list, but you get the idea):
http://www.barrypearson.co.uk/articles/dng/products_cameras.htm
- Really? Did you actually read the site? It has PRECIOUS information that illustrate my point: Adobe DNG is an attempt to stop the OpenSource community from achieving the goals of OpenRaw, which is TRUE OPENNESS, Again, Adobe is trying to get manufacturers to PAY LICENSING so they use a PROPRIETARY FORMAT that will HOLD CUSTOMERS on a PAID platform. OpenRaw is he answer for a true competitive environment.
Ask yourself why other manufacturers don't use a documented backwards-compatible format.
- Easy, because they are lazy and want kick-back. The SAME answer that I (and the entire OS community) would give if you asked about Acrobat or MS Office.
If you use a particular piece of software as your main tool, and you buy a camera which isn't yet supported by it, it's your problem. There is an expression used in the industry:
"Poor Planning on your part does not constitute an Emergency on my part."
- I agree here, it's MY PROBLEM that I decided to have a better product, it was my choice. I can still use OS Tools, which will be what I do moving forward, and about that expression, that is EXACTLY why Adobe will keep loosing customers, because the sense of urgency to help who pays their bills is inexistent. You are correct, why should they rush something so simple to help a customer right? Screw the customer... Thanks for making my point...

A Pages file will not open due to index.xml not found, what is up with that?

I recently saved a file on Pages 5.5.2. on my IMac hard drive. Now I find that on attempting to open it the file will not open due to index.xml not found. Hoe do I correct this?

I have this issue, as well - although perhaps in a different content. When I try to open a file I created in the previous version of Pages, I will frequently (but not always), received the "index.xml not found" message. I am very concerned that I may lose access to some of these files. The old Pages icon is still on my dashboard, although I've downloaded the new Pages (that icon only appears when I open a new document). I thought I needed to upgrade the old documents to the new Pages, but this didn't work. Does anyone have any ideas? And, I'm not a techie - so you'll need to break it down for me.

.mov file will not open in FCP X?! codec unavailable? help!

I am trying to edit a short .mov file in FCP X. It was sent to me via YouSendIt. Once it has completed downloading, a message reads:
" The document “S-T3RRA Video Heads by FLOOD(1)-2.mov” could not be opened. A required codec isn't available. To see if additional software is available that will enable QuickTime Player to open the movie, click Tell Me More. "
When I click tell me more, Apple provides me with some additional media support for QuickTime, however I should not need this for a .mov file correct? The file will not open in FCP X or QT. Any ideas? Suggestions? Was this file incorrectly exported by the creator?
Help!!
Thank you!

Yes, it will be encoded using a codec that's not on your system.
That is a common misunderstanding with .mov - it's not a format, it's a container.
It basically contains video & audio streams that may be mp4, mjpeg or just about anything.
In this case, the "anything" is what we need to find out, so we can work out what you need to read it.
You could try opening it using VideoSpec - it will tell you everything.

My InDesign file will not open! URGENT!

Hi all,
One of my InDesign files will not open, when I attempt to open it, I get a message saying "Cannot open file, Adobe may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the format may be missing or the file may be open in another application." I'm not exactly sure what the issue is as I opened another one of my files previously and that one is still working fine. I'm using Windows 7, if anyone can help me I would really appreciate it.

Right-click the file and choose Open With, then notepad, and post a screen capture of the first dozen or so lines of text.

Mov reference file will not open in QuickTime 7.7.4 for Windows

Hi,
I have a mov reference file which opened fine in QuickTime 7.6.2 but since upgrading to 7.7.4 the file will no open. I get the following error:
Error -2002: a bad public movie atom was found in the movie.
The file contains one PAL MPEG2 video track and one stereo PCM audio track. It also contains a timecode track.
See movie inspector below:
Can anyone help me understand why this file will not open with the latest version of QuickTime. I cannot supply the file but can give any information about atoms etc. which can be read using QTAtomViewer.
I am using Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008.
Many thanks,
Kate

For those who want to call, the following menu options will get you to the Quick Time install tech support:
2 - takes you to the Quick Time submenu
2 - takes you to tech support
then, choose 1 for Mac or 2 for windows
Initially, I was told by tier 1 tech rep Shawn that the update server may not be up or that it may be a firewall issue on my side.
After telling him that I have confirmed that it is a problem with the update server sending a NULL (0 byte) response to the update query, he said I would have to just download the latest one in order to have the most up-to-date version and "just check back periodically to see if the update server is working".
He mentioned there was a Quick Time standalone download available (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html), but that is still ~20MB & doesn't help the fact that probably over 90% of the people who run Quick Time have the option to automatically check for updates set and will never realize they're running an old, vulnerable version of Quick Time.
He gave me a case number after I asked for one: 58027568
If you'd like to add to mine and/or Rob's, it surely couldn't hurt.
I suppose my next course is to try emailing contacts at apple to see what kind of response they have. Considering this problem has been there ever since QT 7 for Windows has been released (I don't remember ever checking for updates when running QT 7 beta), it's strange that it's still a problem.

Embedded pdf files will not open

Dell Laptop Windows XP up to date, Firefox 4.0, Adobe Reader 10.0.1
Since updating to Firefox 4.0 certain embedded pdf files will not open forcing me to use my Internet Explorer browser to access these files. Tried all of the FAQ suggestions with no relief.
NOTE: I can open previously opened files (Firefox 3.___) but not a new one.

Thank you for the response. I insereted several .pdf files into my MS Word document where they show as Acobat icons. When in MS Word, I am able to double-click on the icons and the files open in Acrobat. I then converted the MS Word document to a .pdf. These icons now only show as pictures and do not open the original inserted .pdf documents.

Pdf files will not open upon downloading

I download a lot of pdf docs for work and want them to open automatically upon download so I can screen them. Since upgrading to Safari 5.1, when I download files (which has gotten much more cumbersome) they do not automatically open upon download. Yes, I DO have the "open safe files after downloading" option checked in Preferences. Any other thoughts? A solution would be most helpful. (If anyone has a solution to how I can automatically download files as easily as in prior versions, that would be greatly appreciated also.)

Doesn't make much sense to me. Methinks details are needed.
