  • "uses a file type that is blocked from opening in this version" error message when opening a *.doc file with Word already running

    Several customers running different versions of Office 2011 (14.4.1-14.4.5) on OSX varying from 10.7.5 to 10.9.5, running on various kinds of hardware (iMac/MacBook Pro/MacBook Air) of various ages are having issues opening *.doc files if the Word is already open. The error message that gets displayed is, "XXXX.doc uses a file type that is blocked from opening in this version"
    When the customer tries to open the same file via File-Open, she gets "The file is locked for editing. you can open the file as read-only".
    When trying to do so, she gets "Word cannot open this document. The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document, or the file name might contain invalid characters".
    If Word gets Force-quit, the same document opens without any problems.
    1. Repairing Disk permissions was ran several times. and the volume was found to be OK.
    2. I have noticed that in this scenario either deleting the normal.dotm or com.microsoft.word.plist (~/Library/Preferences) sometimes resolves the issue, sometimes it doesn’t. There is no pattern to follow. All versions of Office are affected, the fully updated and the non-updated ones.
    3. I have tried completely removing the suite using Office 2011 Uninstall.app and/or Remove Office 2011 Uninstaller.pkg, then going through customer's library and manually removing all the Office references.
    4. None of these systems had Office 2008 in the past.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Reboot both the Mac and the server. Word opens .DOC files and Excel opens .XLS files. As you have found out by copying the files to the computer. It is the connection between the 2 computer that is causing the error.

  • Error message when opening CS6 files in earlier versions

    PSCS6 with 12.0.4 update.  Mac OSX 10.8.2   16GB 1333 Mhz DDR3  543 GB Available
    I've recently become aware that other people are getting an error message when opening many of my my psd files if they are on earlier versions of PS and also on PSE, (including the latest version).  The message is:
    This document contains unknown data which will be discarded to keep layers editable.  To preserve the original appearance instead, choose flatten to load composite data as a flattened image. 
    Three options follow:  Flatten  Cancel  Keep Layers
    When 'keep layers' is selected the file opens as normal.  However, people with much earlier version (CS version 8) don't get the option to keep layers, and the layers are flattened when the document is opened.
    I still have CS5 on my mac, and I find that if I take my finished file into CS5 and save it there, the customer does not get the message above, and the file behaves as it should.  Those on very early version of PS can also open the files without any issues. 
    I've been using CS6 since it was released and have had to delve through all my files and save them in CS5.  Not every file is affected and I've been unable to find a common thread.
    Hoping someone can throw some light on this.

    This similar to the message one should get in an older version of photoshop such as photoshop 7.
    If one presses ok instead of read composite that might preserve the layers with the original look.
    But sometimes if a layer blending mode or some other feature is used an earlier versions of photoshop doesn't have, reading the composite is the only way to preserve the look of the image.
    You said your using shape layers?
    If they are shape layers you didn't use a stroke from the tool options bar?
    Can you post an example of the image with the layers panel visible that you get that message with?
    I guess your using photoshop cs6 with the 13.01 update?

  • Error messages when I attach iPad;

    I keep getting an error message when I attach my iPad/iPhone and try to go to iTunes:
    "The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers fro inmportng and burning CDS and DVDs are missing.  This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software.  Please install iTunes"  I   HAVE UNINSTALLED, INSTALLED SEVERAL TIMES; TRIED "REPAIRING", TOO. 
         It took an hour to load 10 songs last night to iTunes from a CD to load on iPad/Phone. 

    NO, you have to edit the registry like below (do it with extreme care):
    Open Registry Editor:
    XP: From the Start menu click Run. In the resulting dialog, type "regedit" (without quotes) and click OK.
    Vista: From the Start menu, in the Start Search dialog, type "regedit" (without quotes) and press Enter.
    Windows 7: From the Start menu, in the "Search programs and files" dialog, type "regedit"(without quotes) and press Enter.
    If Windows needs your permission to continue, click Continue.
    Click the plus sign (XP) or arrow (Vista and Windows 7) next to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE to expand its contents.
    Expand the contents of SYSTEM.
    Expand the contents of CurrentControlSet.
    Expand the contents of Control.
    Expand the contents of Class.
    Click to select the heading that begins with "{4D36E965-" (you just need to highlight this folder). It should look like this: 
    From the File menu, click Export.
    In the dialog box that appears, make sure the "Selected branch" radio button is enabled, then save the file somewhere that you can find it later. This is a backup of this registry key. You should hang on to this in case you need to reimport your original settings later.
    On the right side of the Registry Editor window, right-click the UpperFilters entry and choose Modify from the shortcut menu.
      If the UpperFilters entry is missing, follow these instructions:  Right-click the empty white space within the right-hand portion of the Registry Editor window. From the shortcut menu, choose New > Multi-String Value.
    Name this new value "UpperFilters" (without the quotes). Then, right-click the newly created UpperFilters entry and choose Modify from the shortcut menu.
    In the window that appears, use the appropriate steps below to add iTunes device filter to the "Value data" box.  If the "Value data" box already contains text, follow these instructions:  The text contained in the "Value data" box represents third-party device filters. If you remove these device filters, the third-party software that installs them may stop functioning properly. In the example below "NTIDrvr" and "SiRemFil" represent these third-party device filters.
    Click in the box below this text. This accomplishes two things. First, it removes the highlighting from the text. This way when you start typing it won't overwrite these device filters. Second, it places the cursor below this text.
    Now, type "GEARAspiWDM" (without quotes) to add the iTunes device filter.
    If the "Value data" box is blank, follow these instructions:
    Type GEARAspiWDM to add in the iTunes device filter. See the example below.
    Continue on with the next step.
    Click OK.
    Restart the computer.
