I'm trying to open a word file on my iMac and it keeps saying Import error: the file format is invalid. Why?

I exported a file on my imac as a word document but now I can't open it.  It says Import error: The file format is invalid.

If no on this forum can help you then I would recommend reposting on the Office for Mac Product Forums.

  • I HATE my new MACBOOK PRO, it will not let me open any PDF files and I downloaded the ADOBE READER three freaking times and it keeps saying that all the files are corrupt. I would rather have my 2008 Dell at this point. what is wrong with this thing

    I HATE my new MACBOOK PRO, it will not let me open any PDF files and I downloaded the ADOBE READER three freaking times and it keeps saying that all the files are corrupt or damaged. I would rather have my 2008 Dell at this point. what is wrong with this thing

    Perhaps the PDF files are corrupted.
    Hit the command key and spacebar, a blue Spotlight in the upper right hand corner appears, now type Preview and press return on the Preview program.
    Now you can try opening the PDF's from the file menu and see what's going on.
    If they are corrupted, perhaps they are trojans from your Windows PC or gotten from a bad location online.
    Download the free ClamXav and run a scan on the possibly infected folder.

  • I am trying to download Itunes to my new Toshiba computer and it keeps saying Apple Application Support suspended and won't let me "undo" so I say no and it doesn't install....any options or a?

    I suspect that you are saying that you can't download/install the latest version of iTunes. 
    All I can say is try removing and reinstalling the Apple software using the following:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    If you have further problems with installing Itunes I suggest you post in the iTunes forum since you have an iTunes problem, not an iPod problem.  Also report the wording of any error messages. What they say is importent on resolving them.

    it seems my subscription had expired so I signed up again.. It was still having trouble so I repeated the sign up process again.. Then it worked perfectly.. Unfortunately, I think I just subscribed twice and need to cancel one of them. Ugh. Such a pain when I'm trying to get this project completed. I'll be canceling at least one of the subscriptions in the morning. Adobe is not my favorite company right now. None of this was intuitive. And trying to get help was an absolute waste of an hour.

    That usually means that iPhoto can't find a clip or a shot that you're using in the Slideshow.

  • Is there a way to save an image file as a jpeg and add -web or -print to the file name?

    I am trying to find a way to save my image file as a jpeg and add -web or -print to the existing file name.  This way I can easily see which files are lower resolution for web posting or high resolution for printing.

    Jason,
    I helped somebody do a very similar thing about a week ago.
    The trick is to use the Batch command's ability to construct a file name.
    Tell the batch to append, e.g. "-x" without quotes, to the name of each saved file.
    The batch runs an Action which does a save as JPEG, resize image, add logo, save as JPEG, then close document.
    The output is "<document name>-x.jpg" and "<document name>-x-x.jpeg".
    Then use Windows Explorer to rename "*-x-x.jpg" to "*-print.jpg".
    Then rename "*-x.jpg" to "*-web.jpg".
    See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1038992?start=32
    The name construction that I used there was just an "x" appended to the document name. Use whatever you like. Also juliew subsequently referred to the method as a "double-batch" run, although it is not. One run of the batch will output two JPEGs for each input document.
    I hope the disagreements in that thread don't cause too much disruption.
    If you want, the Batch command itself can be recorded in another Action which would store the parameters of the batch, then you could run that Action anytime without having to set up the details of the batch each time. It would always output to one specific folder, though.

    I was trying to update my iTunes to 11.1.3 and I keep getting the error message "iTunes has an invalid signature. The download has been removed or stopped".  Thanks

    Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

  • Trying to download itunes and website keeps saying certificate error

    Turn off your Firewall. If that doesn't work, turn off your AntiVirus Protection until you have successfully downloaded it. Make sure you are downloading it from the Apple site:

  • Firefox tries to open a certain filetype (.spk) as text and never adds an entry to the Applications tab in Options, so I have no way to change this behavior.

    Since it's not in the Applications tab, I can't change how Firefox handles it. And since it automatically opens it as a text file, I have no way to download this filetype when it's linked to with javascript or flash because I can't right-click and "Save Link As."
    How can I make Firefox ask me how to handle the file instead of treating it as text?
    I've already tried deleting "mimeTypes.rdf" from my Firefox profile.

    Then how do I manually tell Firefox to save text files instead of automatically displaying them?
    There's no "text/plain" type for me to edit listed on the Applications tab.
    Screenshot attached showing the page info for one of the spk files and the Applications tab with no "text" type listed.
    There's another at [http://www.tecsg.co.uk/scs/scs407.spk here]. I don't care if the web server owner has attached the wrong MIME type to a file so long as Firefox will give me a chance to tell it how I want it to be handled. If it's not a webpage (html, php, etc.) then Firefox should not try to render it by itself without asking. --- On a side note, how do I get this forum to treat my line returns like line returns rather than spaces?

  • I am trying to update itunes to 11.1.1.11 and i keep getting 'erreo writing to file : C\ : Config.Ms\301ded48.rfb.Verify that you have access to that directory'. What does this mean and how can i fix it?

    I am trying to update itunes to 11.1.1.11 and keep getting message at the end ' error writing to file :c:\Config.Msi\301ded48.rbf.Verify that you have access to that directory'. What does this mean and how do I fix it?

    I had this exact same problem just now, trying to upgrade to 10.7.
    I even got that error msg when trying to UNINSTALL iTunes!
    After hours of frustration trying everyone's different suggestions, I downloaded Revo Uninstaller http://www.cnet.com.au/apps/revo-uninstaller-10610875/ which solved the problem.
    Use it to help uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
    1. iTunes
    2. QuickTime
    3. Apple Software Update
    4. Apple Mobile Device Support
    5. Bonjour
    6. Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Then you can install iTunes from scratch.
    Good luck

  • I downloaded both files and it keeps saying i need a file archive of cs6, what is that and where do download it?

    I downloaded the files the 6.2 gb and the 1mb but when I try to start it up or start to extract it it says I need a archive part of cs6 master collection what is that?

    Hi riverchild
      Make sure to keep both .exe and .7z file in same folder. Then try to Run .exe file. If you are still getting any error message you may try to open .7z file using any zip extractor tool and try to install. Also make sure that the files are downloaded completely.
