Every time I try to open Microsoft Word, every document I have ever written opens up

This problem just started yesterday. And it isn't because I have a documents open from earlier or because I have the "open at login" box checked. I'm talking like, every single saved document on my mac just opens up one after another in a frenzy. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I am not sure this will work or not. But give it a try.
System Preference > Personal/General > Number of recent items section
Uncheck the box left of "Number of recent items" at the bottom of the section.
Hope this helps.

When I try and open Microsoft Word 2011 documents they start opening one after another at a rapid speed and I can't stop it. I reboot and same thing happens?

When I try and open Microsoft Word 2011 documents on my IMAC they start opening one after another at a rapid speed and I can't stop it. I reboot and same thing happens. The documents open in rapid succession on their own and don't stop until I force close or after maybe 100 or more open I start getting the following message for each document attemting to open "This document could not be registered. It will not be possible to create links from other documents to this document" and then in paretheses the name of the document. After I click okay another trys to open. Any suggestions?

If you had multiple documents open and quit the app without closing all of the docs first, it will open them again when you launch the app. Open Word, and then close all the documents, you may be asked to save the document, if the document was already saved but you made changes to it before you quit the app, you may need to save the changes first, shorcut ( command and s keys). After you close all of the documents then quit the app and restart the computer. See if this works.

Why can't I use WebCT chat with my computer? I get the 'spiral of death' every time I try to type in my chat. I have a feeling it has to do with compatibility issues between Java and Tiger.

Will iWork open Microsoft Word & Excel documents ?

Do I need to install Microsoft Word & Excel or Apple iWork to open documents that are emailed in Word & Excel ? I am going to run Windows XP Pro on this machine.

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
Apples iWork or better said Pages can open Word documents and Numbers can open Excel documents.
But iWork is only avaiable for Mac OSX, not for Windows.
When running Windows you either need the MS Office package (or MS Word and MS Excel as standalone programs) or you can use the free OpenOffice http://www.openoffice.org/
OpenOffice is also avaiable for Mac OSX.

Every time i try to download a app it says i have billing problems

Every time i go to my app store and put my password in to download a app it says you have billing problems what do i do

I am having the same exact problem right now. Every single time that I try to update an app or try to download an app from iCloud or the AppStore, I get a message saying that it needs my billing information before I download the app, even though it is free.

Every time I try to print from word.mac it tells me that it can't save the file because I don't have permission then it closes the file. what do I do?

Everytime I try to print a doc from word.mac it tells me that it can't save the file because I don't have permission then closes the file. What do I do to change this?

If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

I am unable to open I cloud with my apple I'd every time I try message comes that " max no of account have been activated on your I pad" what needs to be done,how can I delete the accounts which I had opened as I don't remember the I'd and passwords

Can any one help me on this

It seems that you've been trying to create Apple IDs (even if you thought you were just trying to use one to make an iCloud account) and you have reached the max allowed number of IDs you can create on the device (which is 4 or 5 as I recall). The only way to create yet another one is to use a different device or a computer. No other way around this.
If on the other hand you want to USE an existing one, go to Settings>iCloud and enter that ID.

Every time I try to use Adobe Reader 10.0.1, my new tab opens, the pdf starts loading, the blue bar gets to complete, and i get an error saying "there is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again"

Firefox freezes, and i have to end it in task manager. It will though immediately work in IE. Using firefox 4.0.1, and the plugins seem to be up to date as well.

Hey guys sorry I am just getting back to ya'll, but I have fixed my problem. There was a registery key missing. I had to create the registry key EXE in acrobat and set the default string value. After doing so everything started working correctly.

Every time I try to convert an MS Publisher document to a PDF file, the formatting changes. Why?

It moves lines down so that some are missing. I try to adjust my Publisher document and sometimes it works but sometimes not.
Why is this an issue and what can I do to correct it?
Thanks!

It has to do with the programming. The easiest workaround, if it is available to you, is to use Adobe Acrobat (not Reader), and you can change the position of the text.
However, I found a few other workarounds, it seems that Acrobat is not good at recognizing all fonts, so if your using an outside font, you might want to consider checking the check box that says use local system fonts on your computer, or change the document to use a universal font, such as Arial.
Hope it works.

Why does Firefox freeze every time I try to install Adobe Flash player? I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it with and without the plugin container.

When I have Adobe Flash player installed and I open Firefox it will freeze up as soon as I open an additional tab other than my home page tab. In order to close Firefox after it freezes I have to use my Windows Task Manager to end process. As soon as I uninstall Adobe Flash player and reboot and then open Firefox it works fine.

Does it help if you disable the plugin-container process?

HT4743 I tried to buy 1 episode of a show... asked for my pin etc... then nothing... it didnt download and now have been charged $1 from my bank?? Every time I try to buy and watch from Apple tv have problems.??

Am having trouble with my Apple TV,, tried to buy 1 eposide of a show last night.. went thru asked my pin number etc.. pressed ok... then nothing...
this morning I find I have been charged $1 from I tunes?
Any one else have this problem.
Havent really been able to use it since I bought it at xmas time..

It sounds as though you didn't actually order the movie and just set up your payment info. The $1 is just a holding sum, you won't actually get charged that.

Every time I try to install Itunes, it says that I have to verify the package exists.

I recently bought an ASUS X502C notebook and have not been able to install this in the last three months that I've had it. At first I thought it was the issue that it is a 32-bit computer but then I tried installing a 32-bit download of Itunes and it still didn't work.

A quick thing to try:
Download the iTunes insatller from
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
if you have not already done so.
Right click on it and select Run as administrator.

I need to update my phone and install Itunes to my computer, but every time I try, it will not let me. I have tried everything on the internet and nothing is working. Every time I try to download itunes, it doesn't let me. HELP!

I NEED HELP! I can't update my phone without itunes and my computer isn't even recognizing my phone!

Asks for password every time I try to move a file into document folder.

Say need authorization to move file into document folder. I have some scans on seek top and I want ot place in a diabetes folder, states needs password.
I have 12 items I want to place in the folder, seems a bit too much of a security issue.
The file are transferred data, it states file can not be modified, authenticate or cancel, I hit authenticate and then asked for a password. Since it may be files from a different pc or format, there must be a shortcut to make this simpler.

Where's this folder located? Somewhere in your home folder? When you created this folder, were you logged in to the same user account as the one you are in now?
