  • Web sight adobe reader file keeps opening in word pad help!!!!

    I have a very important file I need to print and it keeps opening in word pad. Seems like it was opened up once that way and now I can't get it to open anyway else. I am sure this is a simple fix but I can,t figure it out.
    Thanks

    Check your OS's help files for "file association". Change it back to Reader. In the meantime, you can open Reader first and use File>Open to open the file.

  • HT1386 I am unable to sync music to my touch IPod. No matter what I try, nothing works.  When I plug the IPod into the  laptop Itunes opens but the word 'device'  with my Ipod listed does not appear on the left side of the screen,

    I am unable to sync usic to my touch Ipod..When I plug it into my laptop Itunes opens but the word 'device' along with the name of my Ipod does not apperar.
    My Ipod and Itunes are upto to date. After Itunes opens a small box with the word Ipod appears near the top of the right side of the screen.  Then screen will go through the five steps of syncing. Afterward, still nothing has transfered to my Ipod(The box next to the songs I wanted were check)
    ANY IDEAS?..THANKS

    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
    Then make sure that you have the right boxes chacked to sync. See:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    Have you successfuly synced from that iTunes library before?

  • Why can't i open a word document on my pad

    why can't i open a word document on my pad?  I used to be able to but now I can't.  Is there a setting that I can change?

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

  • HT1222 i can not open my i pad-1  and the device gave me message connect to iTunes and when connect the computer give me message type the password firstly i do not know what can i do ?

    i can not open my i pad-1  and the device gave me message connect to iTunes and when connect the computer give me message type the password firstly i do not know what can i do ?

    Is it disabled due to too many incorrect passcode attempts ? If it is then you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad and restore/resync your content to it.

  • TS1506 Unable to open a Word 97 doc sent as attachment.

    Unable to open a Word 97 doc sent via email. I have tried pages, Dropbox, drive.  I always get an error that says unable to open an error occurred. This is not the type of thing where I can ask for doc to be resent in a different format.

    Have a look at the following (in my order of preference)

  • How to open a word file on iphone 4?

    Is it possible to open a word or excel document on the iphone 4?

    You can email it to yourself, or if you have an app on the iPhone that can open Word documents, you can probably sync the document from your computer through iTunes:
    http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/ipad_transfering_files_with_itunes
    Depending on the apps you have, you may also be able to use a cloud-base file sharing service such as iCloud or Dropbox.

  • Can not open MS word docs

    I have an emac running 10.2.8, two users, when i sign in and try to open a word document from the desktop a window opens and says i can not open the document because it's in use by another user. I created this document and the other user has not signed on in months. I then tried all of my word docs and the same message appears. I've shut down the computer, restarted putting in my password but same problem occurs. I repaired permissions but no change. These are my docs and no one else is "signed in" or using them. I cannot copy them or send them via email (which now unexpectedly quits upon opening), Do I need to archive and install?, How much free space on the hard drive do I need to reinstall the OS?
    Thanks for any response.
    Joe

    Many system issues can happen as the hard disk drive's capacity is over-full
    with saved content and there is no room left in the hard drive for the OS X
    and applications to function. The drive should have more than 10% free of
    content in order for the OS X and Applications expected to run in the Mac
    to have room. This space is for swap files, virtual memory, and flex space
    where the system has to automatically find and use free space for most
    everything the computer can do.
    {There are specific rules (seen online in helpful articles, some in Support)
    on how to transfer iTunes music libraries or make and restore archives
    to external hard disk drives and maybe save to DVD if possible; these
    and iPhoto libraries eat up essential space on a hard disk drive.}
    The drive is over-full and a failure (including damage to the physical drive)
    is a matter of time. He should try to archive music on DVD off the Mac
    & then free-up that space on the internal hard disk drive so the OS X
    and apps can use the free space for their required functions. Moving a
    few dozen original items, after saving them off the computer, to Trash
    may be helpful, but that would take a lot of time & looking.
    An externally enclosed drive, properly formatted for OS X and capable
    of booting the computer (firewire 400) is advised; at this point.
    My computers have about 50% empty hard disk drives; that free space
    allows the OS X's automatic virtual memory allocation to create and use
    that space to help the apps and system function properly. When it is not
    there, the system tries to overwrite non-essential files or could cause a
    kind of corruption to happen on the main hard disk drive...
    The documents and other permission issues are a symptom of other stuff.
    A computer in a good state of maintained health requires some effort;
    and when that is not done routinely, things get slower and as the drive
    gets full, stuff can fail. So, to free-up user created files such as music
    (including hidden duplicates if they exist) so that space can be reclaimed
    and used by the OS X, is a good idea.
    To get and use an externally enclosed hard disk drive in a self-powered
    unit with AC Adapter, probably a FireWire ported one so the transfer
    rate is fast enough to get the job done (USB 1.1 is too slow to boot an
    older computer, so FireWire can; a clone of the entire computer could
    be created on a formatted FireWire bootable externally enclosed drive
    and that could be used as a bootable backup.) Archiving this way is a
    way to keep all the files and their status collectively together; then if
    something happens to the computer's internal drive, this remains.
    To boot the computer from the OS X install disc and see if a disk repair
    and a permissions repair can be done in that disc's version of Disk Utility
    may be helpful. Not sure if that old of a system will tell you much in this
    Disk Utility (on installer disc, but not used to install anything) but you
    can Verify the SMART status of a hard disk drive & also try to repair it.
    But the drive is over-full if there are only mere MBs of free space. He
    should look into the Get Info (File menu in Finder) on the Hard Drive
    Icon to see what the total capacity of that drive was, and how little is
    remaining; then work on getting rid of non-essential items, so as to
    save the system itself from damages. Also, if the computer is getting
    older, it may be time to consider a new replacement hard disk drive;
    and if so, a larger capacity one could be installed, and the older one
    put in an external FireWire enclosure, then the content may be cloned
    back into the computer on a partition or direct; so there'd be more
    free space that way for the contents. (Or weed out non-essentials, too.)
    More information would be needed to proceed, since this situation is
    at best sketchy and could be problematic to say the least.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Office Open XML word processing document

    I am getting the following message when I try to open a Word (docx) Document on my iPhone 6 running iOS 8 (latest build at 08/10/14) from within an email account:
    "Office Open XML word processing document"
    I have tried installing Microsoft Office Mobile and a third part App called Documents.
    I have been sent different emails in DocX format (.docx) and I can not open any of them.
    I have tried pages on my iPhone and that does not work eaither.
    I can however open PDF documents.
    I have rebooted/restarted the iPhone twice.
    I have a coleage with an iPhone 5 with iOS 8 and they have the same problem.
    I have another coleage who has an iPhone 4 on an older version of iOS and theirs works fine.
    Any ideas?
    Cheers,
    Anthony

    I have had this problem for a while now. The only thing that worked is:
    On your iOS Device:
    Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings
    Once it restores, connect to iTunes
    do not Restore from Back Up (this doesn't work) - instead select Set up as New Device
    This resolved the problem opening all mail attachments (PDF, .docx, .doc, .pptx, .ppt, .xlsx, etc.)
    Good luck.

  • Snow leopard  to lion so I could use cloud. Now I can't open any word doc. that I receive in emails. Is there any way to remedy this?

    My Macbook pro came with snow leopard. I decided to upgrade to lion so I could use cloud. Now I can't open any word doc. that I receive in emails. Is there any way to remedy this?

    You don't tell us what version of Office for Mac you presently have, but I'm guessing it might be Office for Mac 2004. If so, in addition to the suggestion to download OpenOffice you can purchase the most recent version of Office for Mac 2011 directly from MS <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/buy>. You can also purchase Pages productivity suite from the Mac App Store <http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pages/id409201541?mt=12>.

  • Constant Keychain Request Each Time iTunes Opens

    Each time iTunes opens up it asks me for the password to my keychain. I don't recall it doing this before. I recently did a clean install of Tiger and brought my PBG4 up to 10.4.10, and re-installed all my apps. I updated to iTunes 7.6.2.
    Here's the situation. I use a cron job to open an AppleScript(s) and that AppleScript tells iTunes to open and play a specific play list. It used to work great, for years as a matter of fact.
    (Most of my library is composed of CD's of mine I've digitized, songs I've made myself on the computer, and a minimal (~few hundred) songs, I've purchased from the iTunes Store.)
    In the AM, energy saver wakes the computer and runs a script to play a playlist of bird songs, I highly recommend it! In the past, after an iTunes update, the lawyer-language dialog would always throw a monkey wrench in the works, if I didn't open up iTunes first and accept the license. (In other words iTunes would open, but the legal mumbo jumbo dialog would halt all iTunes prorgress.)
    However, the problem that's occurred the past few days is that EVERY TIME iTunes opens up, and my keychain is locked, iTunes won't do a darn thing until I type in my keychain password and then iTunes does some "phone home" thing. This is totally bogus. EVERY TIME!
    I am considering having to downgrade to an earlier version of iTunes to avoid this, since I don't recall it happening before.
    Can anyone shed some light on this? Help?
    This is a laptop, and I have it set to lock keychains on sleep. I also set keychains to lock after a certain amount of time. This is a bit of a security measure and I won't change it. In the past iTunes NEVER needed to connect to the store during initialization.
    Imagine that in order for your clock radio to ring the alarm, or play music in the morning, you had to get up and turn it on yourself, this is what I am facing. Rediculous.
    Fix? Work around? Help? Other? Thanks in advance!

    A bit more info...
    iTunes is authorized, the computer is authorized.
    And
    Even if I hit "cancel" in the Keychain password dialog request, WITHOUT typing in my password, iTunes will play anything from my library, stuff I've bought and my own stuff.
    Why is iTunes halting everytime right after it opens with that darn Keychain dialog?!
    My goal is for iTunes to work like it used to. To initialize and open up without modal dialogs, and await commands.
    What can I do? Downgrade iTunes is the only thing I can think of...
    TIA

  • How can i open encrypted word documents and still be able to edit?

    I need to open encrypted word documents at my work to edit reports which are sensitive in nature, then be able to send them back to colleagues encrypted. I would like to do this all on my iPad. Are there specific apps I can download to be able to do this? Right now I'm using Google Drive for documents online and would like to be able to utilize this.

    You can download these free MS Office apps (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) to view (but not create or edit) these files.
