Document Wont Open

Hello. Hope someone can help me with this. I received an e-mail with a document in it, I believe from a Windows computer. It was listed as Christmas 2007.doc. When it first came in, I doubled clicked on the .doc icon and it went through the Maclink process and opened up. However, today I tried to open it again, from the e-mail and an error report comes up "The file could not be converted to an Appleworks Document". I also tried dragging it to my desktop to see if it would open, but the same error comes up. Get Info indicates the Kind is 'com.apple.appleworks.word' and 'Open with' says 'Appleworks 6 (default)'.
Hope someone can assist me in clearing this up. Thank you.

Hello
I'm afraid that something was corrupted when you opened it directly from the mail.
This protocol is a wrong one (but you can't guess).
As it was a .doc file, I assumes that what you want is at least read its raw text.
It is quite easy.
Drag and drop the file's icon on the TextEdit one.
You will get a lot of garbage and the raw text.
If you want to be able to read the doc with bells and whistles, you may attach it to a mail and send it to:
koenig PERIOD yvan AT tele2 PERIOD fr
I would try to revive it.

  • My older version document wont open in the new pages

    I keep getting a prompt that my document wont open unless I update. I have updated it and doublechecked it, and it still wont open.

    To me it sounds that you are opening a Pages 5 document in Pages 09.

  • Pages 1712 error - my downloaded document wont open

    I am attempting to open a document I downloaded from the bank and all I get is pages 1712 error code. This problem never used to occur before I did the last system upgrade.

    If you haven't already done so, restart and try again. If an application won't quit and prevents restarting, force quit. As a last resort, force a shutdown by holding down the power button for a few seconds. Then press it again briefly to start up.

  • Older page documents wont open

    Can't seem to open old Pages documents in either '08 or '06
    They were saved fine, and haven't been touched since.
    Saw a previous report saying its the XML file. I replaced it with the fle of one that opened and found it relates to all the image file locations.
    Is there anyway of converting, opening or importing the document so I can retrieve the data?
    Thanks

    The important part of a Pages document is the Index.xml.gz file.
    If you replace it by one grabbed from an other document, you will get this other document minus the inserted pictures.
    What was the exact contents of the 'previous report saying its the XML file'?
    What have you made with the original Index.xml.gz file ?
    If you didn't keep it all is lost.

  • How do I get my documents to open on 'pages'?

    I started writing a college essay today and after doing the introduction the document wont open and it wont tell me why it wont open. My other document still opens fine but if this is going to be a re-occurring problem then I don't want to use this app for college work if I am not going to be able to open them. Any ideas on what has happened and what I could do?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

  • Pages Crashed, now file wont open

    I'm running Pages 2.0.2 on my G5 Dual 2.0 PPC, OS X 10.4.5
    Help!
    I was working on a 40-ish page document in Pages. I then duplicated the document on my hard drive and double clicked to open the duplicate. My plan was to scroll through the pages of the duplicate and update the page references in the index of the original document. I've done this before no problem.
    On this occassion Pages quit. Now the original document wont open and I fear I've lost everything! The progress bar nearly gets to the end and it looks like the document is going to open, then I get a message saying that Pages has quit. Everytime I try it, same message.
    I've repaired permissions - no joy. Also Pages works ok - all my other documents open no problem.
    Any suggestions? - The files in the document package appear to be named correctly as far as I can tell. I'm desperate to get the data back.

    Well it's taken me a whole day but I've got the entire text back...
    and formatted once more...
    and I've now ticked "back up previous version while saving" in the Pages
    preferences.
    ~I think I may have been living in a bubble since I moved from a PC about two years ago....got out of the habit of backing things up.
    OS X has only crashed once on me and everything has always just worked....
    This has been a bit of a wakeup call. - I've had apps quitting -
    Safari, Mail, DVD player, Final Cut Pro, Pages
    but never had file corruption (in fact the last time was on my Vic 20 in the '80s!!) ...until now.

  • HT1351 How do i sync music that were in my documents, then opened into itunes onto my iphone!? ive been able to do this previously and now it simply wont do it!

    How do i sync musics that was in my documents, then opened into my itunes?! ive been able to do this before but now i cant even find a sync button?

    This is correct.
    Ipod touch/iphone/ipad will sync with one and only one library/computer at a time.  Syncing to another will indeed erase the curent content and replace with the content from the new comptuer.
    This is the design of the product.

  • Itunes wont open and when re-installed received this msg: Service Apple mob device failed to start.  You have insufficent privileges to start system svc.  Help?

    Itunes wont open and when re-installed received this msg: Service Apple mob device failed to start.  You have insufficent privileges to start system svc.  Help?

    Download Itunes from Apple.com, not from within Itunes.
    Redo the install, following the below procedure.   However, when you re-install Itunes,  right click and run the install as administrator.   For Win 7, you have to hold down the cntrl and shift keys when you right click and then "run as administrator" will be an option.
    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Vista, Win 7 & later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • Itunes Wont Open!!!Error -50

    My Itunes wont open ever since i upgraded to 6.0.before that everything worked fine.ive tried many of the techniques and none have worked.plz help me!!!

    hmmm. okay, if you're currently just getting the "itunes has encountered an error ..." let's try the following technique.
    preliminaries
    download and save a fresh copy of the itunes 6.0.1.3 installer to your hard drive. (eventually we're going to run the install from there rather than online.)
    iTunes 6.0.1.3 Installer
    switch off any antivirus and antispyware applications prior to any uninstalls, installs or repair installs.
    uninstall
    use the complete uninstall instructions given in the following document to remove your existing itunes and quicktime:
    Troubleshooting iTunes, iPod Software, and QuickTime installation on Windows
    ... and if you run into problems on the uninstall, try using the Installer Cleanup utility:
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    reboot after uninstalling.
    reinstall
    remember to switch off your antivirus and antispyware.
    reinstall itunes using the 6.0.1.3 installer you downloaded previously.
    if you get the "itunes has encountered a problem ..." error message again after that install, first check to see if your Quicktime will launch. if you get an error message when you try to launch quicktime, try using the following technique:
    iTunes 6 for Windows unexpectedly quits when opened
    keep us posted on your progress.

  • I have files that have been on my computer for over a year and all of a sudden they wont open and an error message comes up saying they were improperly downloaded or came in an email attach which is not the case

    I have files that have been on my computer for over a year and I have used them several times and all of a sudden they wont open.  I received an error message saying they are improperly downloaded or came as an email attachement which is not the case.  Please advise

    They seem to be word files - they will open if I choose "open with" microsoft word, but if I double click they don't open they are appearing as PDF on my screen.  I even opened one and then tried to "save as" making sure I chose .doc and they still appear as PDF
    I just created a new document response.doc in word and when I saved to my desktop it appears as a PDF file and I absolutely did not create a PDF or save as PDF it was a simple word
    doc.
    The message says "Adobe reader could not open response.doc because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example attached in an email and not properly decoded)
    The reader version is I believe the most current, I always update when prompted.  OS is Windows 8
