HT4918 How can I open video documents that are Microsoft applications?

With Lion now installed, I can no longer open many video documents that I formerly opened with Windows Media Player.  What can I do?

It does involve ICloud since I could utilize my 2004 Office software with Snow Leopard.  Since Pages will open word documents and save in word format, I thought is would not miss Office.  But, Quick Time Player will not open the video documents sent to me on a PC.  Does this mean I must purchase a new Office just to be able to open these documents?

  • How  can I open a document that i saved without buying the latest pages?

    I saved two documents last week and now I can not open them without "buying the latest version of pages"  Is there anyway to save this information without being forced to buy new software.   I have been happy with my old pages and saved it with my old pages and not I can not open it with out buying the new version.  I feel that apple is holding my document hostage.  Any help would be appreciated.

    DM,
    You probably already have V5 without knowing it. Unless someone else edited your documents with V5, it was you, and you just need to make sure that you are using V5 for edits.
    Right-Click the docment in Finder and choose Open With: Pages V5.x
    I'd be surprised if you didn't find that option.

  • HT201104 How can i access my documents that are in iCloud, I am not ready to upgrade to cloud drive

    I am unable to access my pages documents stored in iCloud, it appears I have to upgrade to cloud drive, as I am using iMacs that is not a option, any solutions

    I am unable to access my pages documents stored in iCloud,
    Have you upgraded your iCloud account to iCloud Drive by upgrading your mobile devices to iOS8? Then you can only access the documents by upgrading the Macs to iCloud drive as well.  See this link:  iCloud Drive FAQ
    If you did not upgrade any device to iCloud drive, don't do it right now.

  • How can I organize video clips that are all over the place???

    I have clip everywhere.  It is horrible.  I can't even tell what I have.  iMovie can't access video not in the "library"  which is iPhoto but iPhoto won't accept my earlier video... ie quicktime.mov.  What in the world can I do to get ALL my video clips in one place sorted by year, viewable and accessible to iMovie?
    HELP!

    Thanks for your help, Terence.
    Before I begin I am somewhat daunted by the contents of my Pictures folder, which contains, among other items, a number of folders named 2002 to 2006 and folders called Modified, Originals and Data which also contain year-named folders.
    I think I can guess the nature of Originals and Modified but is there a quick way of spotting any duplication before bundling folders or files into a custom folder?
    And at the end of the exercise, is there a way of preserving the chronological order of folders/photos as currently viewed in the iPhoto browser?

  • How can I open a document created in Classic on MacOS X?  When I tried to open it, it says Classic Not Supported. What do I do?

    How can I open a document created in Classic on MacOS X?  When I tried to open it, it says Classic Not Supported. What do I do?

    The short answer is:
    Single click on the document you created in Classic, bring up your 'popup' menu (right click or control-click), select 'Open With' and choose the Mac OS X application you believe will open the document.
    If this does not work. Tell us which Classic application you created the document with and which applications you have which you believe will open your 'classic' document.

  • How can clients view video file that I upload to my Creative Cloud area?

    How can clients view video files that I upload to my Creative Cloud area?  Is there a special password that they have to use to gain access?
    Thanks for any guidance.
    Dave

    As a video professional, i agree and am VERY disappointed with this policy.  I attended CC presentations at various conventions, film festivals and meetups for a year-and-a-half before I made the leap to CC, and no one EVER mentioned a restriction to transferring video files.
    Whether it's to save storage space or not, that's how it APPEARS to the end user.  Anybody who knows ANYthing about how video pirates commit their crime (which it most-certainly is), knows that there are plenty of FREE, untraceable (or nearly-anonymous) resources to carry it out.  The need for anyone to pay $30 or more per-month to do it with an acct that has their info attached to it is ludicrous!  If anything it's CONTRIBUTING to piracy to encourage creatives to transfer their material to collaborative parties using a less-secure, more heavily-trafficked third-party service than the one they're paying for exclusive use for.
    Adobe's policy makers need to review this restriction and remove it or provide ANOTHER reason why it exists because this one doesn't fly.  And if it continues, make sure a disclaimer gets inserted in CC pitch presentations because likely half of the attendees are working with video.

  • How can I fix a document having a microsoft Word logo and a "PDF" file extention?

    I am a subscriber to Adobe Create PDF. When I scan in documents from my HP 8600 all in one, it shows up in my computer with a pdf file extention, but with a microsoft WORD logo. I cannot simply open it with a double click and see a PDF adobe display. Instead I get a window generated from WORD that has garbage symbols and unreadable cybertext which I cannot convert. How can the be fixed?

    Thanks, it worked.

  • How do I back up documents that are stored in iCloud to my own hard drive?

    The trouble is, however I search for an answer to this question, I get instructions on how to back up stuff TO iCloud.
    I want to back up stuff that applications like Pages and Numbers are already storing IN iCloud.
    See, I don't want to have to trust iCloud to safely store my documents.  Not unless there are copies somewhere that I can fall back on if (it's really only a matter of when) something goes fatally haywire in iCloud.
    It's easy enough to do with a service like, say, Dropbox, which treats my "cloud-stored" files like they are in a folder on my hard-drive.  So when I run either a local (Time Machine/Capsule) or a cloud (Crashplan, in my case) backup, those files get backed up.  So I have at least three copies of those files - in Dropbox, on my Time Capsule, and on Crashplan's servers.
    So how do I do that with docs that are stored in iCloud?  Apple wants me to store stuff in iCloud - if I have iCloud enabled and want to save a doc to another destination, there are multiple steps I want to go through.  And I'm fine with using iCloud if I'm creating documents that I want to be able to access from my iOS devices as well.
    Yes, I can do that with Dropbox, but it's less seamless than doing it through iCloud.
    But I want my own backups of those files, and near as I can tell, Apple makes that nearly impossible because iCloud does not show up anywhere as a folder that I can access or sort.
    Or does it?  Am I missing something?
    If so, let me know.... if not... is there a solution to this dilemma, or is it just one more aspect of iCloud that Apple has not clearly thought through?
    Thanks,
    --PS

    Right.  You didn't read the post, you only read the title.
    The title came from an earlier step in the process when I was posing a question to the systen.
    The pertinent part of the question is "How to I back up documents that are stored in iCloud" 
    That the destination for the backup is NOT my internal HDD should be clear from the rest of the post.
    And frankly, even if that is where I want to back up to, that would at least give me two copies, at least giving me one duplicate of the stuff on iCloud.
    So please stop wasting my time if you can't answer the actual question: How do I backup content that is stored in iCloud.  The destination of the backup is irrelevant.

  • I am using an Macbook pro in conjunction with a Time Capsule. I back up all my aperture librarys on it, but how can i view these images that are stored on the capsule please ??

    I am using an Macbook pro in conjunction with a Time Capsule. I back up all my aperture librarys on it, but how can i view these images that are stored on the capsule please ??

    If you want to see what is in a file that is backed up by time machine then you have to restore the entire file. Having said that I have had good experience with Time Machine and individual files... if the file is there then all of it's components are almost for sure there. A way to get around this in Aperture would be to use referenced images. The images then still exist as individual files and can be backed up and restored individually. You would have to do so on a file by file basis though and your album information would still only be saved within the Aperture library.

  • ICloud has loaded my contacts to my daughters iPhone how can I separate 2 devices that are on one account

    ICloud has loaded my contacts to my daughters iPhone how can I separate 2 devices that are on one account

    You can't. The whole point of iCloud is to sync contacts, calendars etc to all devices connected to the same account.
    For your daughter to maintain her own contacts and calendars in iCloud, she'll need her own iCloud account, using her own AppleID. Sign out of iCloud on your daughters phone then setup a new iCloud account for her:
    http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html
    (Note that this does not affect purchases made from the iTunes / AppStores. You can still use different AppleIDs for both iTunes and iCloud on the same device.)

  • How can I reload previous purchases that are lost of iPod

    How can I reload itunes purchases that are lost of both my ipod and my computer?

    Use the form on this page to request a free redownload, or use the Transfer Purchases feature if applicable. If neither of these works, you will need to purchase the content again to get them back; Apple needs to pay the copyright holders for each download from the iTunes Store other than podcasts, album artwork, and iPod touch/iPhone applications.

    Easy way, CLONE IT to another HD
    HD cloning software options:
    1. SuperDuper HD cloning software APP (free)
    2. Carbon Copy Cloner APP (will copy the recovery partition as well)
    3. Disk utility HD bootable clone.

    BAD IDEA
    You want one backup (ie Time machine) and one (or more) data archive of just all your raw files (drag and drop, or cloned etc.)
