Excel files not available across an all mac network

All the excel files in my public folder are not accessible across a two machine all Mac network. Word files will open. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

I know this is going to sound weird, but I spent the last two days figuring this out. I recently bought the teacher's Edition of Office 2004 so I could have the same version of Office on 3 of my Macs and after installation that's when Excel quit working over my home network. The previous versions of Office up to X didn't exhibit this behavior. So after looking at Apple's and Microsoft's sites and user groups and getting no answer that worked, I looked at my machines to see what the differences might be. The thing that tripped my trigger was two of my Macs had the same named hard drive and one didn't, and it was that one that was named differently that could see one of the other two. So look at the name under your hard drive icons (by default it's named Macintosh Hard Drive). If they are the same, rename one of them (the name can be anything just as long as it's not Macintosh Hard Drive). I would name them something to differentiate them like Will's iBook or Will's iMac. I don't have a programmers understanding of why this worked, but my scientific wild *** guess (S.W.A.G) is it's an Excel naming convention gaffe. It appears that Excel thinks there are no others on the network because all the hard drives are named the same. Word doesn't do this so I'm guessing that instead of looking for m.a.c. addresses or your network DNS/IP numbers, Excel is looking for hard drive names to distinguish users on the network. If I'm anywhere close to right, this is really dumb! Try it and see if this solves you problem.

  • Legitimate newly purchased Premiere Elements-10 32-bit install files not available

    Friends:
    I purchased an $1100 Nikon camera and the deal included OEM PS Premiere Elements 10.
    Legit purchase with a CD and legit Serial #.
    Can't install because what is Adobe's fault, not the camera vendor's and certainly not mine.
    Adobe's own published notice:
    "The 64-bit version of Adobe Premiere Elements 10 only installs on Windows 7 64 bit. If you have Windows XP 64 bit or Vista 64 bit, it's necessary to install the 32-bit version. Because the Adobe Download Assistant automatically downloads the 64-bit version in error, it's necessary to download the 32-bit version manually through alternate means."
    The problem is that the same holds true for installing on XP Pro SP3 and Adobe makes no mention of it in the above admission.
    Then, Adobe's own Solutions 1, 2 & 3 for manual download all fail, even after fussing for days over it.
    Even Solution 3, the last ditch option, fails perhaps because Elements 11 is out and Adobe has killed the 10 download Ftp sites.
    Files I am unable to download from Adobe (without entrapment by so called Free Dowload sites) are:
    http://trials2.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/PRE/10/win32/PremiereElements_10_LS15_win32.exe
    http://trials2.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/PRE/10/win32/PremiereElements_10_LS15_win32.7z
    How can I solve my dilemma, being denied my right to learn Elements from a legally purchased 10 and being
    forced to purchase 11 instead on top it. Fair?
    I am requesting Adobe politely to make it possible to download the Adobe recommended two files withou hassles.
    I must mention in this context my own  (and thousands of others') sad experience with Flash updates. Just follow
    my own (and others') posts in Adobe forums. Plus, just read the Internet posts along these lines:
    "It's impossible to download anything from Adobe. I have given up and I have given up on Adobe products."
    Not that I want to, but I am forced into echoing the same sentiment.
    Can anyone help, please ?
    Thanks,
    Pradip A.

    Hello Mr. Wright:
    The download now works. Appreciate your help.
    The ...7z file is 1.37 Gb long. I have super high speed Fibre Optic Internet connection with Bell. I rarely have the ocassion to download files of this size. After downloading more than 1 Gb, the transfer hung - either at the Client end, or at the Server end. Bell is sending tech Thursday to mitigate some line noise they detected. Hopefully, the stars will fall into the right place before long.
    Regards,
    Pradip Acharya

    Stop the application services, recompile the JSP files manually, and start the application services. Check the login page then.

  • This webpage is not available across all browsers

    Recently I've been noticing that various websites will not load. I am running 10.6.8 on a Mac Pro 1,1. I was starting to wonder if it's JavaScript or some connectivity issue. The websites work fine on my computer at work, but I just get "This Website is not available" on Chrome or "Unable to Connect" on Firefox. Safari also didn't work.
    Thanks!

    Does this website work?
    Have you powered off and then back on your router and modem?
    I would then try completely resetting your router.

  • Excel file not created while running application using executable on different PC

    Hi,
    I have created an executable and an installer for an application. In this application I am saving data to an excel file using a template. This works fine when I run using the executable on development PC. However when I deploy this application on another PC, excel application opens the template and writes the data but the file is not saved or created at the desired destination.
    The path for file to be saved is coming up right but no file is saved.
    Development Machine details:
    OS: Windows 7
    Office version: 2010 (but I am saving file in 97-2003 format)
    LV version: 2012
    I had checked 'Unlock' option while building the application but stil faced the same issue

    This error means that the VI which is downloaded to the FPGA was changed on the host/development system, but has not been recompiled. By recompiling it you resolve this problem.
    When a LabVIEW FPGA VI is compiled for the FPGA, the bit stream, which will be downloaded to the FPGA, is stored in the VI file. When LabVIEW RT or LabVIEW Windows attempts to download the bit stream to the RIO card, it makes sure the bit stream corresponds to the VI source code in the same file. This is necessary so that the host application can properly communicate with the VI on the FPGA. If the two are not the same, this error is generated from the Open FPGA VI Reference function in the host application.

  • Part of Excel file not converting

    I am batch creating Excel files to PDF using Adobe Acrobat Pro (9).  My settings are such that all tabs convert, but I have "parts" of one of the worksheet tabs that do not fully create.  In my Excel settings I am repeating columns A-D on each page and then approximately 5 columns of additional data show.  However, in certain documents I only get the first 3 pages.  I have done this successfully on another similar document template, and don't see any differences in the file page settings.  Does anyone have a suggestion for how to ensure that Adobe "sees" all the columns in the sheet?  Or, is there something I have done differently in the two templates and what is it?
    I have hundreds of files to convert.

    Upon further review, the other template  is also not publishing correctly.  If there are any number of pages past 3 that are required, the file will always be short, but by differing amounts.  (Some files may be short 5, others are short 4).  I have tried setting my default printer to Adobe and printing from Windows Explorer and choosing Convert to PDF from the right click menu (also in Explorer), but both these options will only convert the current page, not the entire workbook.
    I am DESPERATE for a solution!

  • Spread Sheet Couldn't be Imported, Spread Sheet couldn't be opened because it contains cells outside the boundaries of numbers. Has any one had this problem? It is an excel file that works fine on my mac.

    When I try to import an excell file to numbers on my ipad i get an error message that says it cannot import the file or open the file because it contains cells outside the boundry of numbers. Any one have this problem. it is only one file that i have this problem with and it is an important one. I have no problem working on it with my mac and my excell for mac.

    Number is limited to about 65000 cells so if your Excell spreadsheet is too large Numbers will choke.  This is definitely one of the weaknesses.  If you don't have Excel you can use LibreOffice which is free.

  • Keynote Remote not available from South African Mac App Store

    Hi
    I Just bought Keynote from the Mac App Store and discovered that the sister app Keynote Remote is not available in the South African Mac App Store. Not only is this app missing but there is no games category and there are other very useful apps which aren't listed. This means no Fight Control or Simon Says
    Any way this can be rectified?

    Hey Cybeo,
    You are correct! There isn't a games section on the South African Mac App Store. Strange.
    I would drop a note to Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback/ unless there is a reason someone else might know of?
    Is the Keynote Remote application not showing up for you in the iTunes App store under South African?
    Direct Link http://itunes.apple.com/za/app/keynote-remote/id300719251?mt=8
    Keep in mind that the stores while they share the same AppleID are different for iOS devices like iPhones/iPads and iPod Touch then it is for your Macintosh Computer.
    I hope that helps!

  • Excel File not opening

    Hi There,
    I am trying to open an excel file using a click box. I have
    been able to open a .PDF as well as other files on other websites
    with no problem.
    I am using a click box, where On Success it is suppose to
    open a file or URL. Then I put in the path to the excel file. The
    excel file is on a website and the path is something like:
    http://www.samplesite.com/testfile.xls
    But when I run it through the website, I get a new window
    with the path to the file in the address box. Within the body of
    the window it says that the file could not be opened. BUT if I hit
    return in the address field, it will bring up the file.
    I was wondering if it had something to do with the fact that
    whenever a file like is opened MS asks you whether you want to open
    or save the file first. I have tried making it read-only, but no
    luck.
    If the path points to my C: drive and I preview the movie it
    works. It asks if I would like to open the file and then it opens
    it when I respond.
    This should have taken 5 minutes, but I have been at it for 3
    hours. Please help!
