  • Can't open any excel files after installing Snow Leopard

    I can't open any excel files after installing Snow Leopard. Is anyone else having this problem?
    I have a standard iWork '08 install. Has anyone experienced? And better yet, know of a fix?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Most users who have had a problem opening Office files with the iWork apps after upgrading to Snow Leopard have the problem fixed by updating to the latest versions. For iWork '08 that is Pages 3.0.3 & Numbers 1.0.3. For iWork '09 it's Pages 4.0.2 & Numbers 2.0.2. I don't use Keynote, but it should also be updated. If you're not running the latest versions & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. They must be in the iWork '08 or iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '08 or iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '08 or '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

  • Can't open my photo library after upgrading to iPhoto 11.  is it possible to load iPhoto 9.0.1 after loading 11?  have followed all other instructions but it still won't let me open iPhoto.

    can't open my photo library after upgrading to iphoto 11.  Is it possible to download iphoto 9.0.1 after installing '11.  Have followed all the other instructions and am in a loop which doesn't allow me to access iphoto or my photos.

    when iphoto wouldnt open we read the trouble shooting info and it said that we may have needed to download 9.0.1 if we had an older version.  We obviously didn't download it before the upgrade and wondered if it would cause problems or indeed solve the problem if we downloaded it now!
    When we try to open iphoto is says:
    To open your library with this version of iphoto it first needs to be prepared
    To prepare the library use the iphoto library upgrader available from Apple.
    We have downloaded this twice now and it still sends us this message when we try to open iphoto. 

  • Hello my ps 2014 can not open it shuts down after 10-15 seconds. the old version run fine

    Hello
    my ps 2014 can not open it shuts down after 10-15 seconds. the old version run fine

    There are several things you can do I understand.
    1) Check the battery condition using a program like the widget iStatPro (free). If the battery health is less than 80% then Apple have a free replacement program for this.
    2) Switch the machine off and disconnect the power supply. Remove the battery and leave out for several minutes - to allow complete discharge of all electronic components, I think. Then re-instal the battery, etc and restart. I'm not 100% clear on all steps in this procedure but it provides a reset which sometimes resolves problems at least temporarily.
    3) Disconnect all peripherals and see how it works. One of these might be calling for more power than it should.

  • I can't open my purchased apps after sync to i tunes, help anyone?

    i can't open my purchased apps after sync to i tunes, help anyone?

    I have found a solution for my very special case with very same symptoms. I gave my iPhone 3GS to my son, created for him his own iCloud account (for backup and contact isolation) but used my App Store account, so that we pay only once for all those 190 applications. However, I was only able to install applications from my Mac, but not from "Purchased Apps", which showed blank screen or crashed.
    Now I have tried to switch language to English (just for the case, probably was not necessary) and created another iCloud account (same Apple ID as I use for App Store) - I have switched only reminders on.
    Now I'm able to see purchased apps, and I can install them. I have even changed the language back to Czech and then disabled reminders for that secondary iCloud account and finally deleted this account altogether. Still I can see purchased apps.
    Between the steps that I did I have always closed the AppStore application from the task bar. Lets hope, it will survive restart. I hope the right Apple ID is now somewhere in the Keychain and marked for iCloud usage.

  • I can't open the "Keepsafe" App after update.

    I can't open the "Keepsafe" App after update it to the latest version,
    When i click on the app and after 20 second it's quickly goes back to the home screen,
    I've tried reopening this App and restarting my iphone but still not working.
    Please Help me to restore my data (more than 2,000 pics) in this App.

    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Then reset: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

  • TS1424 I can't open the iTune store after I updated my iphone to iOS 7.

    Hi there, could someone help me here please - I can't open the iTune store after I updated my iphone 4 to iOS 7. The problem occurred about 5 days later after the upgrade. There are no error messages. As I tap on the icon it opens just for a fraction of a moment and then goes off and back to the main screen. Other apps are working just fine. I tried following the troubleshooting steps as suggested by apple support, but that didn't help unfortunately...
    Thank you

  • Can't open old Numbers spreadsheet after upgrading Mac to Yosemite. Error message says it should first be upgraded to Numbers 09 but doesn't provide method to do so?  Help?

    Can't open old Numbers spreadsheet after upgrading Mac to Yosemite. Error message says it should first be upgraded to Numbers 09 but doesn't provide method to do so?  Help?

    There is a chance the spreadsheets were made with a Numbers or AppleWorks version so old that it's not compatible anymore with the latest Numbers version (yes this can happen)

    Use iTune to update your apps.
    Check for Updates (bottom right) in iTune. When download is completed, sync to iPad.

  • I have an hp office jet 4500 and os maverick 10.9.4 and I can't get it to print after last upgrade, multiple malfunctions and error, help?

    I have an hp office jet 4500 and os maverick 10.9.4 and I can’t get it to print after last upgrade, multiple malfunctions and error, help? I have tried deleting and resetting printer and re-installing update 6 times. Last update attempt showed none available??? I can’t load the software directly from HP because their only option is to use the software update option on the mac....frustrated!!! Help!!
    I get blank pages that just run through the printer and a stats window that just 33% complete and goes no further.

    I am going on the guess that an old driver is still installed...
    Use Finder Go > go to folder, and go to /Library/Printers and delete the HP folder(s).
    Reset the Printing System:
    OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system
    Now, Add the printer in Print & Scan prefs.

  • How can I open my iPhoto library after I installed a new HD?

    My hard disk crashed. I got a new one installed. Now, when I sync my iPhone or open iPhoto I get:
    "You can't open your photo library using this version of iPhoto.
    You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto."
    Can this only be fixed by reinstalling Maverick? When I first installed it, my computer slowed down to 80% its usual speed and I saw no benefit.
    Can I install the new version of iPhoto without having to install Maverick? If so, where can I find it to download it?

  • Can't open iTunes and Mail after installing Yosemite

    Hi, I intsalled Yosemite and after the Installation i can't open iTunes and Mail anymore, how can i fix this ?

    Long shot.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Go to Library/Containers/com.apple.mail.  Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
    Restart, re-launch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. You can then put the folder in the Trash. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there.
