Can't export Word docs to network drive

I can't export Word documents to a network drive. I can save the document in .pages format, but if I try to export, the software goes through the motions, but the Word document is never created. If I "Save As" and check "Save Copy as Word Document," I receive an error message "The document ... could not be exported as ....doc." At least I get an error message, which is better than thinking a document exported when it didn't. I can't find any way to report this bug to Apple.

I'm not really surprised by this behaviour.
I think that good practice is to save / export on a 'normal' device then move the document from the 'normal' device to the network.

  • Can't open Word docs after updating to Pages 5.1

    Can't open Word docs after updating to Pages 5.1. Have newest Mavericks OS.

    I could open .doc and .docx files when I originally purchased Pages 4.3 in July 2013. After software was updated to 5.1 January 2014 I can no longer open any .doc or .docx files. Now, when I try to open one, is says for example: "PET.doc" can't be opened.
    **You, know what? I just tried to save a pages document and it won't even let me do that. Saying I don't have permission to move. I double checked my sharing & permissions and that's not the problem. I can't even export the file to anything else (pdf, word, etc). Says the same thing: "Document.pages couldn't be moved because you don't have permission to access folder. To view or change permissions, select the item in the Finder and choose File > Get Info."
    So it seems the entire app is crap. Although like I said it worked fine pre-update.

  • I am new to mac.  Do I need to store photos on the hard drive to use iPhoto or can I store pics on a network drive and still edit with iPhoto?

    I am new to mac.  Do I need to store photos on the hard drive to use iPhoto or can I store pics on a network drive and still edit with iPhoto?

    iPhoto needs to have the Library sitting on disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Users with the Library sitting on disks otherwise formatted regularly report issues including, but not limited to, importing, exporting, saving edits and sharing the photos.
    See this article
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5168
    for more. Note also the comment:
    “Additionally, storing the iPhoto library on a network rather than locally on your computer can also lead to poor performance or data loss.”

    Can you open word doc. In pages? (Opening a doc. From the web) in the iPad or iPod tuch?

    NH,
    This may seem a fine point, but iWork apps don't actually Open Office apps. They Import them. The reason I make this distinction for you is that when you view the result of the import, you may see some variations from what was in the Office document because of an imperfect translation, and when you make edits, you are editing an iWork document, not the original Office document.

  • Can I install itunes on a network drive?

    Can I install itunes on a network drive? How?

    Your virtual drive still needs a physical drive to live on. You can move your iTunes library to any drive big enough to hold it, e.g. an additional internal drive, an external drive, a network share, it's up to you. What you can't do is put a quart into a pint pot.

  • I can't export any files from pages unless I create a duplicate file. I can't export to doc, docx or pdf! Heeeelp!

    I can't export any files from pages unless I create a duplicate file. I can't export to doc, docx or pdf! Heeeelp!

    what version of pages?
    what is the files type that you are trying to export?
    what do you mean unless I create a duplicate file? the whole point of export is that you get a new file with a new format

  • Hyperlink to Word document on network drive

    I am setting up a webpage for internal use only. The purpose
    is for easy navigation for Policies and Procedures. I am using an

    hyperlinks to open up the Word documents on the network drive.
    The hyperlinks look as follows:
    <a href="file:///G|/1~CBCHS POLICIES &amp;

    Thanks in advance
    UPDATE - Works in IE 7 but not Firefox!

    Try removing all spaces from the filename and link to it
    again.

  • How can I open Word docs with Pages?

    I just installed the iWorks software because it said it would open Word docs. Now I can't seem to open any Word .doc files I had archived onto CDs, after abandoning my PC.
    I've made Pages my default application for opening text, and that didn't help. I just keep getting the error message "The document "X.doc" couldn't be opened." Any ideas?
    IMAC   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Welcome to Apple Discussions Paul
    Pages - the word processing/page layout application in iWork (no "s") - usually doesn't have any problems with opening Word files, but I do believe it can't open any Word files older than version 6. It is also highly unlikely that it would be able to open any from the new 2007 version. If your documents are from a version in between those, they should open.
    How are you trying to open them? There are at least three common methods, but, since you say the documents are on a CD, I suggest copying them from the CD to your hard drive first. To open one at a time you can use File > Open (where > means following menu commands with your cursor). To open more than one at a time, select the ones you want by Command- (⌘) clicking the files & then dragging them onto the Pages icon in the Dock or a Finder window or Control- or right-click & choose Pages from Open with in the contextual menu that appears.

  • [SOLVED] Wine & MS Office - can't open word doc

    I cannot open a Word (*.doc) document by double clicking it.  It works with XLS documents which open in Excel.  When I double-click a DOC file, Word will launch, but won't load any file.  It gives an error saying
    Word experienced an error trying to open the file.
    Try these suggestions.
    * Check the file permissions for the document or drive.
    * Make sure there is sufficient free memory and disk space.
    * Open the file with the text recovery converter.
    If I open Word and click on File->Open, I can open the file by browsing for it without a problem.
    Any ideas?

    Sorry, I was just gonna add that I have solved the problem in a simular way.
    After clearing old ~/.wine folder and re-installing wine and windows programs again, I have noticed there are loads of program duplicates in the Nautilus "properties">"open with">"add"  list. Changing to the first occurance of the program enabled the file to be launched and opened.
    I'm gonna try and rid myself of all the duplicates by removing all old occurances of mime/.desktop entries in ~/.local etc, hopefully after update-mime-database and update-desktop-database this will give me a clean list of programs.

  • Mac app can't connect to a windows network drive

    loadMovie("\\\\corpflash01\\WebContent\\swf\\jkLowerRight.swf",

    or this
    loadMovie("//corpflash01/WebContent/swf/jkLowerRight.swf",

    works correctly on any window's machine inside my company's

    When I export to a mac app, and run it on a mac, I can't

    Is there something special I have to do to get a mac to be
    able to read swfs off a network drive?
    Thanks!

    *HELLO I WILL USE BOLD BELOW TO MAKE MY COMMENTS*
    OK you will have to some simple things.
    1. Find a third party time Time Server that you can use both on your Mac and Windows 7. I say this because of both modern sharing systems use kerberos. If you don't want to do that (or don't know how) just make sure both the you Mac and the Windows 7 machine are set to get their Time Clock updates automatically from an internet Time sever.
    *BOTH COMPUTERS ARE ON THE AUTOMATICALLY INTERNET SERVER*
    2. Read the article File Sharing: Win 7 and Snow Leopard: Introduction.
    *READ THE WHOLE ARTICLE AND DID EVERY SINGLE STEP AND WHEN I INPUT THE IP ADRESS I CLICK CONNECT AND IT DOES NOT CONNECT, SAME DIALOG BOX SAYING. EVERYONE ELSE IN MY OFFICE IS USING WINDOS AND CAN CONNECT WITH NO PROBLEM*
    3. If you want to use the Finder toolbar Network pane automatically then read the Apple discussion Snow Leopard 10.6.4 not showing Windows 7 Machines on Finder's Shared.
    *I DID FOLLOW ALL THE STEPS LISTED HERE WITH THE SAME RESULT. I CANT CONNECT.*
    With this information you shouldn't have trouble sharing files with a Windows 7 machine.

  • Weird issue opening Word Doc on Network share

    When certain docs are opened directly from our shared drive word gets stuck in an endless loop of asking with this pop up window "please insert
    disk into DVD-RW drive (D:)", which makes no sense since the doc is on a network drive. What's even stranger is that if word is open and then the file is double clicked on in windows explorer the doc will open. This happens in both word 2013 and 2010.
    Any ideas on how to resolve this???

    Hi,
    Do you have any third party CD/DVD burning software installed on the computer? Or if you have any Word add-ins integrated from the software?
    Disable all add-ins in Word, then test if this issue persists. If no, disable the suspicious ones to verify which caused the problem.
    Please also copy the .doc documents to a local computer, does this problem exist when opening from local?

  • I cannot send a Pages document, Word format via email from my ipad if it has a picture in the the doc.  I can send a Word doc if it does not have a pic in it or pdf with a pic.  Any thoughs why a word doc with a pic in it won't email in Pages?  thanks

    I cannot send a Pages document, Word via email if the doc contains a picture.  If I email a Pages doc without a pic in Word format or pdf with a pic it with go through to sender?  Not sure why Pages won't send Word doc with a picture in it.  I check the security on the email recipient and the email doesn't get blocked or throw in the junk box?
    thanks,

    If you have upgraded to Mountain Lion, Save As… has returned to the File menu when you hold down the Option/alt key. But you don't really "save" as other file types, you translate & export as Word or RTF or text or PDF & that is easily done by going to File > Export or Share > Export.
    Also, please do us all a favor & don't use all capitals in your posts, either the body of the post or the title. All caps is the internet equivalent of shouting & is very hard to read.

  • Elements 11 can't see my home server (network drive)

    I just installed Elements 11 on a new computer.  When I try to import photos, the program cannot see my home server, which is where all the photo files are.  It is seeing that I'm on a network because all the other computers on my home network are visible.  Just not the server.  I can see the server without a problem when I go into File Explorer.  It is open and I can open files on it with no problem, but still Elements isn't seeing it.  When I try to Map a Network Drive, it just creates some bogus additional drive rather than going to the actual drive.
    I have Elements 10 on another computer and have been able to access the drive without a problem there. 
    Any suggestions?  Thanks.

  • Can't open Word docs with Pages 08

    Since upgrading to SL I found that I can no longer open Word documents sent to me via email attachments. Can this be remedied? I thought Macs were able to "translate" Word files.
    Help!

    I did discover I can open Word docs with Text Edit, but it's a multi-step process now. I really don't want to upgrade to iWork 09 and I'm not sure that would solve the problem. I also have to use Quick Time now to open movies in iPhoto. Another multi-step process. I'm not very happy with SL.
