Error Code 10660 -- can't open a file

I can't open a WORD file unless I have already opened WORD. In the past, the computer would open the application for me and open the file. When I try, it pops a dialogue box saying: The Operation could not be completed, and in smaller type: an unexpected error occurred (error code 10660).
What went wrong, and how can I fix it?

Hi there,
I believe the problem has nothing to do with your Mac but with your copy of Microsoft office, the code appears to be well known by them.
Have a look this link:

Good Luck!

  • #3125 error. I can not open the file

    We work on a Mac and a Win machine. We share the files via a NAS. We now encounter the problem that the muse-site saved by the Win machine can no longer be openend by the Mac. (#3125 error. I can not open the file). The only option to continue is to work via the Win machine.... ;-((( Please give us a solution. Ed

    A 3125 error indicates the operating system returned an error when Muse attempted to open the file.
    It's highly unlikely there's anything wrong with the file. If you haven't already confirmed, if you copy the file to the Mac's local drive it will open fine.
    I'm suspicious of file/folder permissions. Is it possible the account used to mount and write to the NAS from Windows has different user permissions than the account that's attempting to read it on the Mac? I could theorize a 3125 error might occur if one user with the necessary permissions wrote a file to the NAS and then a second user with insufficient permissions attempted to open it.
    Also, two users cannot simultaneously open the same .muse file on the NAS. Is that what's being attempted in this case? Muse goes to great lengths to attempt to prevent this and should put up an error about the file already being open in another copy of Muse. However, how that's detected is dependent on OS APIs that have subtly different behaviors on different servers and server protocols.

  • Error message: "Dreamweaver can't open .jpg files"

    I'm using DW 8, and I have installed the 8.0.2 update. I'm
    having trouble inserting certain JPG images into a site. I get an
    error message pop-up that states "Dreamweaver can't open .jpg
    files". It will allow me to insert some jpg files, but not all of
    them. I've tried drag & drop and going through the Insert menu.
    The files are not large at all. Doesn't appear to be any problem
    with png's or gif's. It's incredibly frustrating. Anyone have any
    suggestions? TIA.

    > why was i taught that all my web images need
    > to be in 72dpi if it doesn't really matter?
    most people suggest 72 because it was an old standard with
    the early
    macintosh DTP programs. For web use it's easier to
    standardize on it because
    when you make an image, you have to put ~some~ number in the
    resolution box
    and it might as well be 72 as any other number. It simplifies
    moving image
    files around in different applications if they are all the
    same resolution.
    For display in a browser, these will all have the same file
    size and display
    size in a web page:
    600x600 pixels at 1dpi
    600x600 pixels at 72dpi
    600x600 pixels at 6000dpi
    It's when they are used in other applications or when a
    direct url like
    /photos/1.jpg is printed out that they may display in the
    resolution, not
    the pixel dimension.
    I came across a page once where the designer always saved his
    images with a
    resolution of 6000 dpi or some other odd number because he
    thought that if
    people dragged the image off the page to save it- most of
    them wouldn't be
    able to resize it. or some other idiot reason maybe.

    Same problem here... I finally updated whole system yesterday (last full system upgrade was on 2011-11-26) and same problem appears. File /usr/lib/libwbclient.so.0 was not present in system, so i reinstalled package smbclient - without any effect, then reinstalled libwbclient package and requested file appears. There is no error about upgrading libwbclient in pacman.log (from yesterday system update).. How is this possible?

  • File Error: wrong type   can't open media file

    After capturing my film using Final Cut Pro,"Capture Now" I can't open the film file. It seems the film was caputured onto my Mac notebook in a file format Final Cut Pro doesn't recognize or can't open. When I try to open the file the following error message pops up: "File Error: Wrong Type".
    It seems the format of this media file is AV or avi (the name of the media file is "Untitled - AV". It's not a .fcp file.
    I tried to open it with Quicktime or other programs, but without success, no program can open it.
    I appreciate your help!

    I followed the instructions in the article AppleCare Technical Support emailed: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302337 . It helped to delete the User Preferences and to remove receipts and to reinstall the entire Final Cut Pro Studio software. I think what really helped was to update the latest software versions (Final Cut Pro 5.1.4).
    Thank you very much!

  • Error message - how can I open this file?

    I'm getting this messsage when I try to open an Illustrator file: "Acrobat PDF file format is having difficulties. Non-hex character in a string."
    Any ideas on how to get this file to open? I'm trying to open it in CS4 after working on it in CS3, but I haven't tried to open it again since saving in CS3 so it may have this error on both versions.

    That would be my inclination. File may have been sent as ascii when it should have been sent as binary or vice versa.
    In 99% of transfers it's ALWAYS safest to zip an AI or eps file before sending it anywhere.

  • Can't open downloads to desktop (Error code - 10660)

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm having a problem opening documents that are downloaded to my desktop. I recieve the following error, "The operation could not be completed. An unexpected error occurred (Error code - 10660)." I can go into the required program (i.e. Microsoft Word) and open the file by going through the necessary steps, but simply clicking on the icon on the desktop gives me the above error message.
    Any help or suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Hi, jmack21.
    If you have the requisite applications to open the files, and those apps are not in the Trash, then Error Code -10660 can also indicated corruption in Launch Services. See my "Resetting Launch Services" FAQ.

  • I can't open PDF File Attachments

    Hello,
    I use the environments Windows 7, MS Office 2010 and Adobe Reader 11.0.09.
    In the perferences on the categories Trust Manager I had actived the function: PDF File Attachments: Allow opening of non-PDF file attachments with external application
    Now I'm trying in a PDF document to open a Word or Excel file and get the error message: Acrobat can not open the file attachment Because your PDF file attachment setting do not allow this file type to be opened.
    And I can just open Word and Excel files.
    If I open the PDF file with Adobe Acrobat 11.0.09 then I can do that.
    Someone has a idea.
    Regards
    Erdem

    Hi Aadesh,
    I had actived the Trust Manager -> 'Allow opening of non-PDF file attachments with external application'  on Acrobat and Reader 11.0.09.
    I can open the non-PDF files with Acrobat but not with Reader.
    Regards

    No, he said that DW gives him an error message: "Can't open
    JPEG file" and
    won't allow him to insert the file.

  • Can't run System Profiler, error code -10660

    Hi-
    I am trying to determine if my daughter's B/W g3 (350 mhz, 512 mb, OS 10.3.9) will accept a new, modest 20" flat panel she'll be getting for Christmas.
    I can't run system profiler, or disc utility to see what's under the hood. I keep getting 'error code -10660'
    Any ideas?
    Any recommendations for the monitor would be appreciated also. I was thinking something about $200.
    Thanks-
    Ray

    If you're trying to launch the application by opening a document, select the document in the Finder, choose Get Info from the File menu, and set it to open with the correct application in the Open With section. If you're opening the application directly or through another method other than opening the document, move it to the Applications folder; that error means that the application set as the default wasn't found or is in the Trash.

  • Powerpoint attachment won't open: Error code 10660

    Hi all,
    I have recently downloaded a .pps (PowerPoint as opposed to Keynote) attachment from one of my correspondents, and on trying to open the attachment, I get the following message:
    The operation could not be completed. An unexpected error occurred (error code - 10660).
    Is this the fault of my iWork software (given that I have temporarily 'dumped' the trial iWork '09 into the trash) or a system failure? I'm usually able to open .pps files.
    Any uncomplicated assistance would be greatly appreciated.
