Cannot open older Numbers files since update

Cannot open any Numbers files that were created before an update, but can create new files, close them, and reopen them. When I try to open the file it says "Numbers quit unexpectedly. Click Reopen to open the application again. Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple." I've sent reports to Apple several times, and have installed all updates that are available. I noticed this problem before I updated my other computer and can still open the files on that computer.

Hello
It seems that something works sadly because you aren't the first one with this problem which I already reported to Apple.
May yo pack one or two sample files as .zip archive
create a "System profile"
attch both of them to a mail and send it to:
koenig PERIOD yvan AT tele2 PERIOD fr
I would be able to look if I may revive your file or send it to Apple's bugs hunters.

Opening Excel .xlsx files emailed from Windows computer

I have been unable to open an Excel .xlsx file sent as an attachment from an Windows computer. I did download the free version of WinZip Mac, and although I can open it, it is a read-only file. I want to be able to make changes and send it back as I am able to with .xls files. Stuffit doesn't work either. Apple support doesn't understand why I am unable to access it properly.

Considering you are the sender and receiver the solution should be easy. When you are getting ready to save the file on your MS Windows machine instead of saving do a "Save As" and you will see and option to save as .xls format. Once you do that your MS Windows 2004 version on your Mac will be able to read the file. However I think you're wise considering upgrading to Office 2011 on the Mac, that will be much simpler in the long term and you will have a version much more like your Windows version.
While I never used Excel 2004 on my Mac's I did use Excel 2008 which I disliked. However I have since upgraded to Office 2011 and so far found that to be a really nice product.
Best of luck,
Roger

Open the "Merge Files into a Single PDF" utility via script or exe?

Greetings:
I'm trying to find a method to open the Merge Files into a Single PDF utilty without opening Acrobat first. Does anyone have some example code on how to open this dialog window? It doesn't matter what language it is in, I can do the legwork to translate it to something I can understand.
Ideally, I'd like to open the combine/merge window through an EXE or VBScript and pass it a handful of filenames that would appear in the programs list to process.
Any help would be *GREATLY* appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi,
As far as I am aware it is not possible to pass a list of files to this dialog using any API in Acrobat.
You could however create your own VB .net application that has a mutli file select dialog box and the use the JSObject to merge all those files and open the resultant file in Acrobat.
There are samples in the Acrobat SDK that show how to use the JSObject and the JavaScript function you could use to perform the merge are in the SDK documentation, I would start with investigating "insertPages".
Please note that using the Acrobat SDK requires the Acrobat program to be installed and it will also need to be running in order to convert the files.
Hope this helps

I can't save Logic Projects/Files since updating to Lion. Help?!

I just had the same problem, after working on a project for a couple of hours and thinking it was saved, I go back to work on it some more and all the work I had done was not there. This is totally frustrating. I posted here as well and haven't had any responses. Good luck to you.

Thanks! But seriously why have Apple disabled the info sync on iTunes? By 'Upgrading' to Mavericks I've inadvertantly disabled my Apple mobile devices from fulfilling their function. Come on Apple work with us here!!
Apple told developers they were removing that service over two years ago. The developers that depended upon it should have done something about it.
Why did they remove it? My guess is because it was pretty crappy, was difficult to maintain, and wasn't a good solution for multiple devices that could get the info without tethering to a "base" Mac.

Opening Excel XLS files in Numbers

I have Mac OS 10.6.2 on my MacBook using Numbers '09.
A windows excel pc user sent a xls file.
When I try to open this file on my MacBook with Numbers is get message
"The document is encrypted and can’t be opened."
The windows user says the file is not locked/protected/encrypted ...
I have opened other xls files ok.

I never got this behaviour (but my correspondants know that I hate …Soft products).
Maybe it's that the file was built by a recent version of XL which is not deciphered by Numbers.

Cannot open Office for mac files since update

Updated to Maverick 10.9.5 and since then I cannot open existing excel, word files. It will allow you to open a new workbook but will not save nor open an existing file. It says "cannot open workbook" and " does not recognise invalid Character"
Any ideas

I suggest you post your question on the MIcrosoft Mac forums since it's their software you're having trouble with...

Opening Excel 2010 files from Explorer takes several minutes

I am running Excel 2010 on Windows 7. For the last year I have had no problems, but today I find that if I try to open any file from Windows Explorer (e.g. by double-clicking it), or from an item pinned to the Task Bar, it takes several minutes to open Excel.
If I open Excel directly it opens very quickly. I can also open any of the "problem" files in an instant when Excel is open (e.g. from the Recent Files list or from the File...Open dialog). All of the files in question are on the local hard
disk.
I don't have this problem with MS-Word.
I saw another post here which recommended unchecking the "Ignore
other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)" option, but I didn't have this option set in the first place.
Does anyone have any other suggestions for fixing this?

Double click an excel file, when the excel loading window appears, start Task Manager, terminate the excel process, then re-open the excel file to test if this issue goes away.
Also someone resolved this issue by installing an add-in. Have a try.
File->options->Add-ins->Select "Excel Add-Ins" in Manage list box and click button "Go..." ->Tick the add-ins that you want and click button "OK"

Well, I guess you just have to look again:

Okay, that's a bona fide miracle.
(Don't you just LOVE to hate Lion? I de-Lionized it as much as it allowed, and now I'm sorely missing double-left swipe navigation ...)

HT2506 How can I open uscis.gov/files/form/n-400.pdf with Preview?

Problem (A)
When I try to open some PDFs, such as uscis.gov/files/form/n-400.pdf with OS X Preview, I get the error message:
"Please wait...
If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document.
You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader for Windows®, Mac, or Linux® by visiting http://www.adobe.com/go/reader_download.
For more assistance with Adobe Reader visit http://www.adobe.com/go/acrreader.
Windows is either a registered trademark or a trademark of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or other countries. Mac is a trademark of Apple Inc., registered in the United States and other countries. Linux is the registered trademark of Linus Torvalds in the U.S. and other countries."
Apple presents Preview as being a better substitute for Adobe Reader, but in this case it does not work at all. (I think this may relate to PDFs with entry fields in them.)
Problem (B)
If I set the documents having this problem to be opened with Adobe Reader instead of Preview, the next time I save them from Adobe Reader, they are reset to open with Preview again.
I thus have to always do Open with… for them, or else set all my PDF documents to be opened with Adobe Reader.
Can anyone offer any workarounds for problem (A) or (B)?
Does anyone know Apple's position on problem (A)? Will they eventually fix Preview so that it opens PDF documents such as the one above, or will Preview only ever work on a sub-set of PDF documents?
If Adobe is refusing to provide Apple the information needed to open certain types of PDF documents, does anyone know Adobe's position on this?
Thank you

What version O/S do you have? 10.7.4 is latest.
I have something for you to try. I'm reading that Lion supports two different types of file-type association. That is, in addition to a global ".PDF opens with Preview" you can also have a file-by-file setting to over-ride the global one and have it open is something else - like Adobe Reader.
So, how about you test this out to see if its true?
First chainge your global .PDF back to Preview:
http://osxdaily.com/2009/10/25/change-file-associations-in-mac-os-x/
Or reset everything back to defaults:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1282118
Then when you come accross something that won't open in Preview, use this to set just that file to open in Adobe Reader:
http://osxdaily.com/2011/08/15/easily-set-file-association-in-mac-os-x-lion-usin g-always-open-with-app/
There is also a utility for controlling the file-type settings - but - I don't know if it supports this new feature:

(if this a new feature and hasn't been around all along and I just didn't know about it)

I can no longer open pdf files since updating my OS

I can no longer open pdf's since updating to iOS 5.0.1 - how can this be corrected?

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste (command-V) into the text box that opens, then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.
