Any ideas on how to stop word from crashing 6+ times a day?

Am on macbook pro with snow leopard still.  Office 08 has gotten very skitish and word crashes 6-10 times a day.  I don't use fast save and nothing else has changed.  This just started happening daily about 2 weeks ago.  Crazy making.  Thanks if anyone has some suggestions.

    Error -50 is a very unhelpful generic communications error with a number of possible causes.  Something between the drive to which you are downloading and the drive from which it is all coming is not working correctly, which probably leaves several hundred options.

    I've created various playlists on my iphone5. Everytime I sync my phone with itunes on my PC I lose these playlist.  Any ideas on how to stop this happening? I've tried various methods but the sync always results in the playlists which I've set-up on itunes on my PC over-writing my mobile created playlists. Having just purchased an iphone 5s I want to ensure that my iphone playlists transfer over ok to my new phone.

    This occurs when two people share the same apple id for imessage.
    settings - message - send & receive - uncheck or remove the apple id.
    do the same for start a new conversation.

  • How to stop iPhoto from opening each time I add a photo using Yosemite

    How to stop iPhoto from opening each time I add a photo using Yosemite

    Add image to iPhoto Library
    From where.  I don't think you can keep it mininmized when importing because if it runs into a duplicate it will present a warning window for you to make a decision in. Therefore, it will always be open when importing.
    You can send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.

  • Any ideas on how to download photos from a Canon EOS Rebel XT?

    I just "upgraded" (?!) to OSX Lion, and now the Canon EOS Utilities app does not work. I contacted Canon and they said that they were working on an update, but didn't know when it might be available --they "answered" my request for information by providing no information.  So, any good ideas on how to download mh photos?

    Try Image Capture program in apps directory.  You can import straight to iPhoto.

  • How to stop Quicktime from opening every time I play an online video

    Everytime I open a video on CNN.com it opens in Quicktime. How do I stop this from happening?

    Thanks!

    Hi
    do you have the Flip4mac plugin installed?
    if you do, you'll see it at the bottom of the System Preferences window..... Open the Flip4mac preference, select the plug-in tab. There's a check-box for
    Launch Quicktime Player....movies will be launched in QT instead of the plug-in
    if that box is checked, you would get the problem you describe.

  • How do I stop InDesign from crashing every time I open a certain file?

    I tried to move a 2 page spread to the beginning of a 52 page layout and InDesign crashed. I tried recovery and it would crash each time seconds after opening. I tried closing every thing, hard boot, then opening from the file. It opened fine then in 2 seconds it crashed. I tried a different file and there was not a problem. How do I keep it from crashing my 52 page file?

    The file could be corrupted. Do you have a backup?

  • Hi.. any ideas on how to free space from "Private"...

    Hi,
       i am using Nokia e63 for more than 2 years now....
    lately i started to notice that my phone's internal memory gets full without saving anything on phone.... even for softwares and such.... i install them on my card only...
    i used MGuard from the netqin software to check it and found out that a folder named "Private" is eating up a hell lot of space and i cant delete its contents using this software. also this folder is not visible normally....
    i contacted Nokia India... and got rubbish replies like... connect ur phone to PC and delete the folder... remove the Mguard software as its a 3rd party software... etc... even when i gave them details that its a system folder most probably...
    can anyone tell me a way to free up that space on my phone?
    i have really fed up going to nokia care for formatting my device every month as the warranty is over and i need to pay every time.
    I tried to restore factory settings as well.. but there is another problem... if i use the factory reset.. the nokia store app on my cell stops working... maybe coz the app in the firmware update came with older version and to use it.. iupgraded it... not sure... can anyone help me with it plz?
    Thanks and Regards

    If you uninstall applications, the application-specific subfolder under /private will be removed (freed up).
    If you wish to clean up the /private in one go (without uninstalling applications individually), then reformatting the phone is the way to accomplish that. Then you need to reinstall those apps that you still wish to use.
    From a memory card, you can clean up /private by connecting to a PC using USB mass storage mode, and then enabling viewing of hidden folders. Note that if you just delete the /private from the memory card, some applications that also put data in the phone memory and their corresponding /private directory, will leave the stuff in phone memory, as the applications, in effect, were not properly uninstalled, if you just delete their private folders. The apps will also consume space in /system where the actual application executables are stored.
    So, uninstall them properly, or reformat and reinstall only the apps you need.
    If you reformat, then remember to back up any data you wish to save (contacts, photos, messages, etc.).

  • When dragging an iPhoto event to iDVD, the order in which the pictures appear changes without any apparent rhyme or reason.  Any ideas on how to prevent that from happening?

    When importing an iPhoto event into iDVD (iLife '11 versions of both) by dragging it from iPhoto to iDVD, the sequence of the photos is far different in the iDVD project than in the iPhoto event, without any apparent rhyme or reason for the change.  Any way to avoid having to resort all the photos in iDVD?

    Create an album from that Event and sort the photos the way you want.  Then drag that album icon from the Media Browser in iDVD into the slideshow area.  They will import in the order that's in the album.

  • Forum email bombardment!! Any ideas on how to stop?

    Any help from anyone would be appreciated. My e-mail account is being bombarded with messages from <[email protected]>. When I check my Watch List , it reads:"Your Email Update option is set to: No Email Updates." and,"You are watching 0 categories , 0 forums , 0 topics in All Categories / All Forums."
    So I think I accidentally set up two accounts. I believe the account creating the email was the result of me carelessly clicking on "Watch List" on several messages in an account whose username and password I've forgotten.

    Email Sun about it, telling him what email address it
    is. You can use the Feedback form (link on the left
    under your name, Forum Settings, Watch List, etc.).
    They should be able to fix it for you.Thanks, I'll try that. I've got my fingers crossed.

  • Nikon D800 raw files taken with Sandisk extreme plus 32GB SDHC card got corrupted. Able to preview them in Lightroom4.4 Library, but not able to import or transfer the files from card to computer. Any ideas on how to save images from Library Window in Lig

    Hi, I have shot few pictures on 31st December night in RAW mode using Nikon D800 and Sandisk extreme plus 32GB SDHC card. It looks like card got some memory errors so not able to transfer the files from Card to computer. However I am able to view the pics thru Lightroom ver 4.4 Library, but when I tried to import them, it gives me an error stating that file can't be read.
    Is there a way to save the pics from Library window in lightroom overcoming the card read errors ?
    Thanks in advance
