  • I close the textedit programme , open Pages, click on the 09 pages file to be opened and the message "The document "7-09 receipts" could not be opened. TextEdit cannot open files in the "Pages document"

    I close the textedit programme , open Pages, click on the 09 pages file to be opened and the message "The document “7-09 receipts” could not be opened. TextEdit cannot open files in the “Pages document”
    What's this??? How do I open the pages doc???   Kalavati

    You have obviously not done what you think you have done.
    You have tried to open a .pages document in TextEdit which can't read them.
    If you are confused which program you are in look to the top left of the menu.
    You can either drag the .pages file onto the Pages icon on the Dock, open it from within Pages' Open dialog, double click on it or right mouse click > open with.

    This might not help you at this point, but maybe if someone else comes along later, it will help them solve their problem.
    I just had this exact same problem and from the looks of your document title, my fix might work for yours as well.  I fixed the file by editing the index.xml file in the corrupted numbers file.  Numbers '09 doesn't save documents as folders by default anymore, but you should be able to unzip them to folders using something like Unarchiver, 7zip, or a similar program (I used my default archive extraction program, which is called "The Unarchiver").  My problem was that I had put an obscure unicode character in the name of one of my tables.  Look at the console output in Console.app and see if something similar doesn't show up.  I just went into the text file, changed the offending characters to something from ASCII, and renamed the (unzipped) folder to have the .numbers extension, and the file openned without any issues.
    Anyway, like I said, probably won't help at this point, but maybe it will help someone else later.

  • The document "abc.numbers" could not be opened [Numbers 09]

    I’m getting the document “abc.numbers” could not be opened message. I’ve seen this posted about Numbers ’08 but I’m getting this dreaded message with Numbers ’09.
    I’ve unzipped the file and cannot find anything that looks out of the ordinary to me. The buildVersionHistory.plist looks fine, as does the index.xml and QuickLook folder. When I compare these to a new, empty numbers file I can’t see differences besides those expected.
    Any help would be very much appreciated!

    May you attach the beast to a mail and send them to my mailbox ?
    Click my blue name to get my address.
    I wiil try to discover what is wrong.
    I guess that something is wrong in the index.xml file.
    I received several documents with this kind of problem.
    In some of them, the xml file was truncated, in others, it appeared as a 'correctly built' file but Numbers was unable to decipher it. One erroneous character is sufficient to render such a file unusable.
    This is why I wrote many times : backup, backup, backup…
    This means : keep consecutive copies as my backup script is able to build.

  • The file is damaged and could not be opened

    I do library research from home and often download journal
    articles from the university library as .pdf files. Over half of
    those files arrive damaged with this message: "There was an error
    opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be
    opened." I have only a land line. I am running Mac OS 10.3.9. I
    have Acrobat 7.0 Professional.
    Anybody else have similar trouble? Is there anyway to repair
    these fies so they be opened?

    I think your character counts are incorrect, which is what is causing this error. Please post your code here (see forum rules to post code) and I wil be able to help further.

  • HT5129 The photo "claire-66.jpg" could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found.

    because of the mobile me switch i can not use my iphoto. i had some albums in my mobile me web gallery and one of them i had deleted the original files so it will not allow me to use my iphoto because it keeps giving me this error message and i can't get rid of it.
    "The photo “claire-66.jpg” could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found."
    I don't have the original photo anymore so i can not link it to it.

    So, your iPhoto Library is now corrupted.
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • When I attempt to install Adobe Reader, I get the message, "This patch package could not be opened."

    Any idea of what I need to do?

    Thanks for your interest in my problem.  My operating system is Windows
    XP.    I had an older version of Adobe Reader installed, but recently, my
    computer became unable to view pdf files.  So I decided to try to update
    my version of Adobe Reader.  Somewhere in the process, it was suggested
    that I delete previous versions of Adobe Reader prior to installing the
    new version, so that's what I did.  Now when I try to download and
    install the version 9 of Adobe Reader, I get the message that , "The
    patch package could not be opened."
