How do I open .wim files on my macbook pro?

When my hard drive crashed for the second time on my HP computer, I knew it was time for a change. The HP help menue gave me the option to backup everything onto an external hard drive. I did this and now when I try to open the files inside, they are all "#.wim" files. The #s go from 0.wim-53.wim. How do I open these files? Some might be microsoft word or powerpoint files but I have not got Microsoft word for mac yet. I understand that this will probably prevent me from opening some of the files but wouldnt I be able to open the others? If you know anything about ".wim" files, please help me.

  • I am trying to open pptx files on my MacBook Pro and continue to get "No Text Converter is installed for this application" even though I have dowloaded several converters that were supposed to work and I just downloaded Apache Open Office 3.4.1

    I am trying to open pptx files on my MacBook Pro and continue to get "No Text Converter is installed for this application" even though I have dowloaded several converters that were supposed to work and I just downloaded Apache Open Office 3.4.1 with no luck.  I am able to open docx files with the converters I have installed but not pptx files.

    The PPTX file type is primarily associated with 'Power Point' by Microsoft Corporation.
    This is the new format for Microsoft Office documents.
    It is a combination of XML architecture and ZIP compression for size reduction.
    To open Office 2008 for Mac documents (format .xlsx, .docx, .pptx) in Office for Mac 2004, you must download and install the Open XML File Format Converter. This article describes how to obtain and install the Open XML File Format Converter for Mac.

    Instead of all that, and buying OfficeMac etc...
    Try to see if the FREE LibreOffice suite will open the file on your Mac.

  • How may I transfere PDF files from my MacBook Pro to my IPAD

    How may I transfer PDF files from my MacBook Pro to my IPAD

    There are a number of methods, including via synch to iTunes on a computer and emailing them to yourself.
    I prefer using DropBox, which allows me to store them in the cloud and download only when needed, and send them to the app I choose (plus I do not synch my iPad to itunes). I typically use GoodReader or Adobe Reader, but any app that can read PDFs is typically available in the menu. You would need to install DropBox on the Mac as well as download the app on the iPad. Both are free.

  • How do you open .wim files on mac air?

    I am having a hard time opening .wim files that were backed up from my PC in my Mac Book Air. Any Suggestions?

    That is a Windows Imaging format. It is unknown to OS X. It may be possible to open the archive using:
    Open/Extract WIM File on Mac
    There are few freeware on Mac that opens/extracts WIM file. Anyway, you can try the following freeware.
    EZ 7z for Mac OS X
    Keka
    You can also try File Viewer for OS X - View Unknown Files on Your Mac.

  • How do I open .zip files on my macbook air?

    I'm unable to open .zip on my MacBook Air. When I double click on the .zip folder it creates another zip icon in the finder and renames it as .zip.cpgz. I easily
    could open zip on my MacBook Pro just by double clicking.

    Secondary click on a zip file, and select Get Info.
    Then find the Open With pane, select Open With Archive Utility.app, and set check box to change all so that in the future, all zip files will automatically open with the Archive utility.
    In case you need to find the App, it is located in system/library/Core Services/Archive utility.app

  • How do you select multiple files on a macbook pro?

    Can anyone tell me how to select multiple files at one time?  I am so frustrated with the way macbook pro works that I really regret buying it.  I hate that you can't select multiple files, and that my contact stuff keeps changing.  It is certainly not like I was told...that I would never want to use a PC again.  I would not buy another apple computer.  I spent a lot of money to NOT be able to do things that I have always done with ease.  Every time I think I have something figured out, it doesn't work the next time I go to use it in another program.  If anyone has an answer to this, I would sure appreciate it. 
    And all of these so called wonderful updates to the operating system on all mac products have left me frustrated and liking my apple products far less than I did before.  On my iphone I had to make the texts just huge to even be able to see the white writing on a blue background.  Not sure who made these designs, but from my perspective, I can tell you they certainly weren't thinking about being user friendly in any way when they did it.  So disappointed in all of my devices!  I do not enjoy using my computer, ipad, or iphone even close to what I did before.

    This is some information on the Finder.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2470
    To select multiple files you can use the shift key with the mouse if they are in a contiguous list or the CMD key with the mouse if you have breaks in that list. You can also use the mouse to drag over the files you want to select.
    The Macs are easy to use, I have used many versions of Windows, Linux and other operating systems and I find OS X is far the easiest, but that is me.
    There are many instructional videos and texts on Apples web site and if you are near to an Apple store they do classes to help.
    Hope you get used to it.

    You need 3rd party software to open and/or convert to a MP3 file.  Not sure if iTunes can do the job regarding converting.   Do a Google search.

  • I have created a keynote presentation in Keynote 08 on my macbook which was purchased in late 2007.  When I try to open the file on my macbook pro which I purchased in 2012 the jpegs all are altered.  They are muted in tones

    Keynote created in keynote 08 on macbook purchased in late 2007
    I opened the saved presentation on a new macbook pro and the images are all distorted.  The jpegs are altered and look like they had photo filters applied to them.  Some pictures look like infrared photos, color cast and such.  I'm running lion on both laptops.  the presentation runs fine with no hang ups and the spinning wheel of death.

    Don't worry I've sorted it! I just had to turn off Reminders as well in iCloud. Calendar then worked fine, even when I turned Calendar and Reminders back on.
