IPhone won't open old (pre 97) .xls files

my iPhone works fine opening .xls files as long as they are not pre 1997 format. (get the password protected or corrupt file error). Any way I can fix this?

Convert your old .xls files to ones that are supported by the phone.?!.
Over ten years old, there has to be a cut off point.

My iphone won"t open. There is a message on the screen that states that iphone is not backed up. when I click the ok button nothing happens. It was workin until today.

By "open", I think you mean you cannot unlock your iPhone.
If that's true, here's the remedy:

GB '09 won't open ANY of my song files

I have a Core 2 Duo 3.06GHz iMac and have been using GB '09. The hard drive recently died so Apple put a new one in. I cloned my 15" MBP to the iMac and now GB '09 won't open any of my song files. I already tried deleting the GB files in Library/Preferences, and I have reinstalled iLife '09 once already and nothing has worked.
In the process of troubleshooting I even created a brand new song file and saved it to the desktop. I quit GB and then restarted it and tried to open the file I just created seconds ago and I get an error message saying:
The document "My Song.band" could not be opened.
Thay's it. No further info to help me try to figure out why. I've got about half a dozen third-party plugins but I'd rather not start monkeying around with them if I don't have to. I was hoping someone out there has had this happen and knows how to fix it. I know there are various pref and cache files squirreled around on the hard drive, just don't know exactly where and which ones are safe to delete to try and fix this problem.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Okay, problem solved. I tried trashing the test song file I created and got a message that "The item will be deleted immediately". This made me think there were some hard drive permission issues which may be causing my GB problem. I Google around the internet and found the cause and solution.
It seems I didn't have write access to my own "Home" folder on the HD. Pretty odd, but that was the case. I did a "Get Info" (Cmd+I) on my home folder and added my primary user with Read and Write privileges. After that, files I deleted would just sit in the trash as normal and I was able to open my song files in GB.
Here's a link to solution that I found:

Audition won't open an MPEG 2 (.mpg) file states

audition won't open an MPEG 2 (.mpg) file states it is either corrupt or unsupported. On a windows 7 system I have DLMS enabled and still can't get it to work.
Thanks,!!

You haven't said which version of Audition you are using. From the appropriate Adobe page:
Adobe Audition 3 can not open MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 files. An earlier version of Audition, Adobe Audition 2.0, could read MPEG files only if it was installed as a part of the Adobe Creative Suite Production Studio software suite. (Audition does not include the software license required to encode and decode MPEG files; the license was a part of Production Studio.)
I'm not sure about whether Audition CS5.5 will, but I think that CS6 and CC should.
Or perhaps your file is corrupted!

New MBP w/lion; upgraded to iLife11 but iPhoto won't open old library?

I bought a new macbook pro in september. After completing a vacation iMovie, I noticed the new MBP didn't have iDVD on it to burn to send discs to family. I purchased iLife11 for this program but it also updated iPhoto. Pretty cool until I tried to open iPhoto11 and it won't open the old version's library... why? More importantly, how do I get around it? I have a Time Capsule so a backup or two exist if necessary... just want to get this project done without killing the hole weekend! Thanks!

As usual... found the answer after I posted this. I updated the upgrade when I installed iLife11 yesterday. It worked but I still had the problem. I thought I would try it again today to see if there were any additional updates... and KAPOW... there was, and problem FIXED! Thanks!

New MS Word won't open old MS Word files

We've got a new MacBook Pro, running Lion, with MS Word 2011 for Mac. We've just copied over our old MS Word (Mac) files, with the .doc file ending. I think the files were created in MS Word 2004, some files even ealier than this. The new MS Word 2011 (which we've updated) will open the old files. We have to open the file in Word using "recover text from any file" --- but they loose all their formatting.
How can we open the files and not loose the formatting?
Thank you
Mark

That's interesting. How do you do it?
Are you using Lion? Do you have to open the files within Word (you can't double click on them)? And do you have to open the files within Word by using "recover text from any file" option? I presume your old files have .doc ending, or have you changed this?
Thanks for any guidance
Yes using Lion on Mac and both Win 7 Pro and XP Pro on PC hardware. On PCs I have Office 2000 installed, yes even in Win 7 (and Win 8 Preview, Office 2000 installed without a problem). On Mac I have Office 2011 Mac, and all updates.
As far as the files they are all in a folder called My Documents on both systems. I change/edit or create files on either system then I use a Sync program to sync the My Docs folder between all PCs and Mac. If I'n sitting at one of the PCs and need to open any doc I just open it, word opens and loads the file. Same for if I'm sitting at the Mac. I have Word files that were created on Word 95 (or whatever that was called) Word 98 and now 2000 and Mac 2011.
Never had any problems. Even if by accident I save a file in the new DOCX format on the Mac. I have the Document converter program installed on the PCs that only have Office 2000 installed.
Sorry I don't have any real tips for you as mine Just Works, both Windows and Mac.

ST won't open old projects

For some reason, when I go to open a previously saved project, Sound Track first says the file is not in the location it once was, which it is, and then when I click to find the file, then locate the file, then select "open" the open window comes back and back and back and back, I click "open" "open" and "open" and it never opens the project.
Even when I go to file, open and then choose the file it says, "Can't find file" "the file was not found in the expected location, and then it gives an erroneous location that is off a bit
it should say /volumes/G-DRIVE/Movies/Sound Track
But instead wants to locate the file at /volumes/G-DRIVE/Movies/Projects/Body by Mike
The folder "Projects" is where I keep my FCE files, "Body By Mike" is a FCE movie I made and used this sountrack called "Body By Mike"
So somehow ST thinks the file is not the file.
Any ideas?
Even when I simply click on the stmp file in the finder ST says the file could not be found, I choose "cancel" and then it says, "The document "Body by Mike.stmp" could not be opened.

This issue is not that Word won't open it. The issue is when Firefox goes to down load it it treats it as a binary file and does not know what to do with it. I would upload an image but I keep getting an error message for a tiff file and a pdf

QT Player 7.4.5 won't open old .mov files

I'm trying to open old (i'm pretty sure they were in animation compression from 2004, probably OS9) .mov files. The message says: The movie could not be opened. The file is not a movie file. Please help!
Thank you!

Try VLC or MPEG Streamclip as a start, both are free.

Bought a new computer and it won't open old illustrator 9.0 program

I want to continue working in this program as it suits my needs. However, I get various error messages when trying to access my old ai or eps files to work on. One message states I'm out of RAM. This is not at all possible. Another says there is a runtime error...abnormal program termination. Does anyone know how I can convert old files worked on in Windows XP to my new program in Windows 8? Please help.

Assuming you have tried the various compatibility modes, if your Windows 8 is the Pro version, you could try setting up a virtual machine running XP on which to run your Illustrator. No guarantees it will work, however.

DESPERATE... Indesign won't open most of my Indesign files???

Sorry if my message sounds panicked but I am going out of my mind with worry. I am working late on a deadline to get a job done, my inDesign has decided to give me the following message when I open any of the many 100 inDesign files I have made: 'Cannot open the file "nameof file.indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application.
Please can anyone tell me what is going on. I am sitting at my desk in tears. If I don't make my morning deadline i'm fcked!!!! to be quite blunt :-(
Does anyone know how to fix this? Everything was working up until about an hour ago and a old inDesign files work but not the ones that I need.
Help me, i'm seriously in despair here :-( :-( :-(

Sounds very much like these files were edited with a newer version of ID
than you're using.
What version are you using? If it's earlier than CS3, you can email me
one of the files that won't open and I'll try it here. If I can open it,
I'll let you know what the history of the file is.
Click my name, go to my website and you'll find contact info there.

Adobe won't open my itunes download dmg file

I am trying to hook up my new ipad to my old macbook. It says I have to download new itunes. When I do, my Adobe Reader won't open the dmg document for me to finish the download.

Did you move only your music, or did you move the *iTunes Library.itl* and *iTunes Music Library.xml* files as well? These files are the files iTunes recognizes as your library. If you did move the library files, where did you put them? By default, iTunes looks for these files in c:\users\my documents\my music\itunes (I think that's the right path for Vista).
If you moved these files to another location, you can point iTunes to it by holding the shift key when starting iTunes. You will then be asked where your library is. Simply browse to the iTunes Library.itl file is and your library should open.

My Muse file won't open: "This Adobe Muse site file requires a newer version of Adobe Muse. Please update to the latest version."

My final project for this quarter in a web design class is due in less than a week. And suddenly, after months of working with this exact file, it won't open. I'm trying to open it in CC (newest version of Muse) at school. At home, I downloaded a trial version of it. I would think the trial version would be the absolute newest version..and even if it wasn't, why can't the even newer version open it? PLEASE help me. And, what do I do if my trial version has expired (I'm not home right now, so I can't check..) and I can't open it to fix it (if that's what I needed to do..)?
Note: at school we have CC, always updated. At home I have CS6, but downloaded a trial version of Muse. So, I would think the trial version would be the newest and CC not CS6. I don't know, though!
Note: is there a way to extend my trial version for, like, an hour, to retrieve this file? It would absolutely suck if I can't get it back now. I've spent a long time on this.

Could you please send me the muse file to [email protected] along with a link to this thread. If they're larger than 20Mb you can use a service like Adobe SendNow, Dropbox, WeTransfer, etc.
so that I may check and help in getting this resolved?
