File Cannot be opened error in Numbers

I tried to open a file I had stored in the cloud in numbers. I got a message that the two versions did not sync. When I selected one, I got an error stating that the file cannot be opened. Same problem on my iPad

Ok...after I downloaded media player 11, I went into it and clicked on pictures and they were still viewing fine, but I forgot to click into the videos (which is the original problem). Well, I just got back to my laptop and clicked into videos to view them and I'm getting the same error that I was getting before. It says that windows does not recognize this file type.

I can no longer access a password protected Numbers file with the correct password. Error message only says the file "cannot be opened."

I'm using Numbers version 3.2.2.
Suddenly I cannot access my password protected Numbers file with the correct password. I have the correct password written down so I know I haven't made a mistake.
The response box that pops up says that the file cannot be opened. There are no other options for me to choose from.

Also, I tried to open it through an older version of Numbers but it sent this error message.

Error message in .docx : 'Open XML file cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents. Details Unspecific error Location: 2'

I have put a lot of work into a docx document on my Mac, but now can't open it as it gives the error message: 'the Open XML file cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents. Details, Unspecific
error, Location: 2'
When opening the original file the message said: 'this file contains word 2007 for Windows equations' etc. but I managed to track changes fine, and saved, closed and re-opened it numerous times without problem. Some graphs seemed moved, and various formulas
were illegible, but no other weirdness was observed.
I have microsoft 2008 installed on my Mac OS X version 10.6.8.
I've tried to fix it using various solutions suggested here, but am afraid am too IT illiterate to have had any luck, please help I'm new to all this!

Please Help! Received an error message in Adobe Muse stating file cannot be opened.

I am worried my Adobe Muse file is long gone. Adobe Muse crashed on me in the middle of designing a website. I tried to re-open the file and it states This Adobe Muse site file cannot be opened. no records in main.active table. I am not sure what to do. Pleae help!!

Next to the file you were attempting to Save As to when the crash occurred, you should find a file with the same name but ending in "renamed" plus some numbers. Delete the unopenable flie and change the name of the "renamed" file to be the original file name with a .muse file extension. You should find it's the original file you had opened.
Are you working with the .muse file stored on a file server? Or is it on a local drive?

Using WordRpt support routines with a C application in LabWindows CVI 2009 to format Word files, an error sometimes occurs resulting in the document format being corrupted. An error is generated: The MSWORD.OLB file cannot be opened. I don't know why or how to correct this problem.
Any help you can provide would be appreciated!

Numbers file created w new version of Numbers on my mac and then transferred via Dropbox to my ipad: file cannot be opened by iOS version of Numbers

Numbers file created w new version of Numbers on my mac and then transferred via Dropbox to my ipad: file cannot be opened by iOS version of Numbers

Hi Jocomo,
That's correct. Dropbox does not handle Numbers 3.0 for Mac and Numbers 2.0 for iOS documents well at all. They will probably fix this.
But why are you using Dropbox for this? Numbers has built-in iCloud integration for the very purpose of syncing documents back and forth. It's much easier than using Dropbox even if Dropbox could handle the new Numbers format. And it's now quite reliable.
To enable iCloud with Numbers on your Mac:
In System Preferences>iCloud make sure you have Documents & Data turned on:
And after clicking Options, make sure you have checked Numbers.app:
On your iPad you need to make sure iCloud sync is turned on in TWO places:
Settings>iCloud>Documents & Data>Numbers
Settings>Numbers>Use iCloud
If you have entered the right iCloud credentials on your Mac and iPad, Numbers will then sync back and forth. It's much easier than putting in Dropbox and then having to Open in... , etc. You can of course still keep backup copies of your documents in Dropbox if you want.

Project Standard 2013 'The File Cannot be Opened'

I am using Project Standard 2013 and have been doing so since 2013. Last week it suddenly started coming up with the following error message when I try to save a project and update the associated shared resource pool:
The file cannot be opened.
Check that the file name and path are correct
Check that the file format is recognized by Project
Project files saved in a version earlier than Microsoft Project 2000 can't be opened.'
I have only ever used this version, no earlier versions. I have tried to repair the application through the update/re-install process.
The projects save but do not appear in the resource pool unless both files are open. Some projects are still linked to the resource pool and show in it even if they are not open. This is now happening with all files when I try to save them. Sometimes it
says:
'The resource pool is read only, do you want to save a copy'
Even if I click 'no' a copy appears which I can't close and I have to force quit the application.
Help.

I've also tried opening the resource pool read-write. That worked for about 5 minutes when saving projects. Now it won't let me save my project without saving the resource pool first. When I try to save the resource pool, I get the same error message:
The file cannot be opened.
Check that the file name and path are correct
Check that the file format is recognized by Project
Project files saved in a version earlier than Microsoft Project
2000 can't be opened.'

Publisher - pdf - "This file cannot be opened because it has no pages"

Hi,
I have a Publisher report which works fine as a single page when generated to pdf.
I change the data model to give me multiple pages and insert the entire report content into a repeating frame which correlates with the header data that is definitely present for all records. ceteris parabus.
I preview this in interactive mode - everything works okay.
I preview this in pdf and I get the error; - "This file cannot be opened because it has no pages"
This is on well formed XML with a very modest data set.
Anyone have a fix or a pointer for this please??
thanks,
Robert.

File cannot be opened because there are no pages - Reader 9 & X

I have an old hydro bill in PDF format from 2000. I can open this PDF in Adobe Reader 8 and earlier with no issues whatsoever (i.e. double-clicking the PDF in Windows Explorer). The problem started with Adobe 9 & continues with Adobe X. When I double-click the file, Adobe opens but tells me the "File cannot be opened because there are no pages." More recent hydro bill PDFs can be opened with no issue.
Googled & searched the forums but haven't found any earlier reference to this particular error though there is a vague recollection that someone complained somewhere about this or something similar with Adobe 9 some months ago but there was no solution to be found then.
Using Windows Vista Ultimate here & have uninstalled Reader X & returned to Reader 8 pending a solution.
Does anybody know how to fix this?
Thanks.

Thanks for the idea. Disappointing if true.
Thing is... it's an old hydro bill... I'm just keeping it for posterity's sake (a bill from when I was paying for nuclear power!?!)
Most troubling and disconcerting.
So, who should be sued? Adobe? My hydro company? ;-) Just kidding.
Anyway... some time gone by...
- re-installed Adobe X
- as per ghostscript.com, downloaded Ghostscript v9.01 & Gsview v4.9 (McAfee okayed them)
- installed Ghostscript & Gsview
- started Gsview
- dragged & dropped one of the offending hydro bill PDFs from Windows Explorer into Gsview
- from File menu picked Convert
- for Device pdfwrite, upped Resolution from the default 600 to 720
- via the Properties button in the Convert dialogue, adjusted CompatibiliyLevel to 1.2, clicked OK in Properties dialogue
- clicked OK again back in the Convert dialogue
- in the Output Filename dialogue, made the new file a "b" copy of the original filename
- clicked Save
The new file is a tenth the size of the old one & opens without incident in Adobe X. Ghostscript works well... thanks.
But... is this really the optimal solution for businesses & governments? It's not as if the old files were on vellum and here we are like old monks, transcribing for the king. Good grief where are we going?

Ms Office Files cannot be opened in iPad / iPhone

Hello to all. I am having some problems with my iPad/iPhone and Office documents. Some documents (word /excel/powerpoint) either created by myself in my iMac with Office for Mac or sent to me and created in MS Office, cannot be viewed in iPhone/iPad mail client and further cannot be opened in pages/numbers/keynote and Dataviz’s DocsToGo; they always refer as invalid type of file or something alike. Those documents are not password protected and I can view and edit-them fine in my iMac. It is annoying since not all files behave in such a way so I no longer can be sure if the file I send myself from my iMac and/or get from third parties would open or not in my I-devices. I already made a full restore to both of them and situation persist. I would very much appreciate your input and comments on this matter. Thanks

Have a look at the following:

Hi, I cant open a document I have been working on. It has previously been saved without a problem now all I get is a box stating that the file cannot be opened. Any suggestions please?

Hi, I reecntly purchased a Mac and the Pages App. But now I find that I cant open a document I have been working on. It has previously been saved without a problem now all I get is a box stating that the file cannot be opened. It is visible in both the Pages Windows and under Recent Items but just will not open. Any suggestions please?

Hi Colourdoodles,
Maybe the document is corrupted. Can you open other Pages documents? Preview may open it. Right click (or control click) on the document in Finder and Open With > Preview.
If that works, Edit > Select All, Edit > Copy. Then paste into a blank Pages document. Formatting may be messed up, but you will have editable text. Then Save (with a different name), close and see if you can open the new document.

Ian

"The iPod **** cannot be updated. The required file cannot be found" Error

Hello,
Upon doing a 'zero-all bits' reformatting of my 5G iPod with Disk Utility and using the 'Restore' feature in iTunes 7, every time I sync my iPod with iTunes, I get an error message after the sync in the form of
"The iPod ** cannot be updated. The required file cannot be found"
and photos, contacts, and calendars are not synchronizing. I tried a second 'Restore' attempt but to no avail. Previous to reformatting my 5G iPod, I've not seen this error message.
I would be grateful if someone could offer any clues. Many thanks.

A little update.
Upon reinstalling iTunes 7, deleting my iTunes-related .plist files, and reparing permissions on my hard drive, I can now sync my contacts and calendars with my 5G iPod.
As for Photos, the "required file cannot be found" error seems to be due to the default setting in the 'Photos' tab, 'Sync photos from:' pull-down menu to 'iPhoto'. If I choose my 'Pictures' folder, photo synchronizing works, albeit including everything in my iPhoto library, including originals and modified versions of the photos.
I can only surmise that the default setting for synchronizing photos is somehow buggy in iTunes 7. I guess I'll just wait for an update.
