Microsoft office 2011 under Mavericks: can not open password protected files

I think that it all started with the installation of Mavericks.
I have a few Microsoft office 2011 files (excel and word) that are passord protected. Now, it's telling me that the file can not be opened due to an encrytion sheme that is not available in this country (I'm in Canada).
I've re-installed Microsoft Office, but that did not solve the problem.
Thanks

Same problem for me, I had two password-protected Word files and  both won't open now. It started after i tried to add support for an additional language (spanish), but removing it afterwards did not fix the problem.
OS 10.9, Office mac 2008 AND 2011 wont open the files BUT Preview can open it! (BTW this saved me)

    If you upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion, and did not upgrade to Office 2008 or later, that may be part of the problem.  Try LibreOffice, OpenOffice, NeoOffice, Google Docs, or Zoho Docs.  See my FAQ* for link:  http://www.macmaps.com/crossplatform.html

  • Can't open password-protected files in iDisk

    No forum dedicated to iDisk, so I hope this is OK here. I uploaded files from my Mac to iDisk and can see them on my iPad, but I can't open my own password-protected files. Do I need to go back to my Mac and remove the passwords or am I missing something? I can open all non password-protected files.

    No forum dedicated to iDisk
    Except this one: MobileMe > MobileMe on my Mac > MobileMe iDisk

  • All of Microsoft Office has disappeared.  Can't open files in Dropbox.  Help!

    All of Microsoft Office has disappeared.  Can't open files, even in Dropbox, even after installing LibreOffice.  Can you help me?

    You can try a system restore to a point before the update. If you're lucky, it might work, but I often find System Restore will fail when you need it the most.

  • I downloaded printmaster 2011 but i can not open it

    i downloaded printmaster 2011 and now can not open it. I received a note saying that the JVM could not be started. The maximum heap size (-Xmx) might be too large or an antivirus or firewall tool could block the execution.

    Sorry, that isn't a Firefox support issue.

    One question I have for you is what version of Java is needed for that application? <br />
    The '''Java Plug-in 1.5.0_05 for Netscape Navigator (DLL Helper) ''' that you have installed is an old version. Maybe you need a 1.6.0 version?? Also known simply as Version '''6'''.<br />

    I loaded adobe reader and I can not open a pdf file.  It keeps telling me I need adobe acrobat.

    What is your operating system?
    You don't need Acrobat to view PDF files; can you post a screenshot of that message?
    Also, is this a local or online PDF?  If online, in what browser?

  • Recently updated Mac OS 10.5.8 to 10.6.8 and and can not open exisiting Illustrator5 files or save new files.

    I recently updated my MacBook Pro OS from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8 and can not open existing Illustrator5 files or save new files can someone help?

    I think you have a corrupted upgrade. Do you have a backup of your old system?
    Here's what you should do for now:
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

  • Hello, I have transferred my Acrobat XI Pro from old MAC to the new one. After the transfer can not open any PDF file. Any idea how to solve this?

    Hello, I have transferred my Acrobat XI Pro from old MAC to the new one. After the transfer can not open any PDF file. Any idea how to solve this?

    Hey ilyaz20360341,
    Could you please specify how exactly did you transfer Acrobat from one MAC to other.
    You might need to deactivate the software from your old machine and then activate it on the new one with the same serial number (for Acrobat license) or Adobe credentials (for Acrobat subscription).
    If you have done the same way, then let me know if you are able to open Acrobat itself.
    Do you get any specific error message while opening a PDF?
    Hope to get your response.
    Regards,
    Anubha

  • InDesign CS5 (Mac OS 10.6) can not open its own file

    I need guidance to open an artwork file that in one hour I have to send to the print shop. InDesign refuses to open its own file.
    Any clue? Adobe, please help.

    Re: InDesign CS5 (Mac OS 10.6) can not open its own file
    Bob and Peter
    Thank your for helping us out. It was really necessary to ask a coworker to open the file and export it in InDesign markup language.
    Three hours later than expected, but it's done!
    We are stuck here. I'm a Master Collection user of CS5, using only Dreamweaver, Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Bridge and Acrobat Pro. (I don't know why I bought the Master's). My coleague former Window user, got a Mac in May and downloaded the trial version of Design Studio Standard Collection of CS5.5. Before expiring, we purchased its license and filled it in the active trial version.
    A couple of months ago we noticed that were missed Plug Ins on his version and contacted Adobe who instructed us to download the whole files again. We never did because it is a pain to get rid of the missing parts of a pre installed trial version etc.
    I will ask Adobe to send a CD disk for his version.
    Regards,
    Junia

  • OS 10.8.4 (recent upgrade) and can not open a .dmg file

    I am using an iMac 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 and have recently upgraded to 10.8.4 and can not open any .dng file. It indicats that it is not recognizeable. How can I intall my downloaded software?
    Thanks

    Something else is going on then.  Set up a test/new account.  If the problems appears there too, then it means it's a system wide problem.
    Another thing to try if you have not already done so is to disconnect all devices from your computer, repair permissions and restart your computer.  Or do the following: 
    Mountain Lion Recovery
    Boot up from your computer by holding down the command+r keys.  This will take you to the recovery drive.  
    Select Disk Utility & hit Return.   
    In Disk Utility select the HD on the left & click on Repair Disk (bottom right).

  • Acrobat XI Pro for OSX can't open password-protected pdfs created using Acrobat 9 Pro for Windows

    I am having problems opening password-protected files created on a PC using Acrobat 9 Pro.  I am running a MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.4 with Acrobat XI Pro.  When I attempt to enter the password when prompted, a dialogue box pops up saying that I've entered the incorrect password.  After many attempts, I am certain that the password entered is correct -- this is reinforced by the fact that i am able to open the same document using Mac's Preview software.
    Any assistance would be appreciated!
    Thanks.

    I was suddenly having the same problem in Acrobat XI Pro for Windows (recently upgraded to CC from Acrobat X).  For the past while I've sometimes had to use the "insert from file" tool to get a page added from another file.  I couldn't figure out why dragging sometimes would no longer work, but was too busy to go looking for a solution until tonight. 
    The solution was given by JoshTatum24 above. Switch from a scrolling page display to single page display.  Now I can drag pages between documents again.  THANK YOU Josh!
    Oh, and CORREAdmin,  it does not matter whether the hand or arrow selection tool is active, my mouse pointer is always an arrow when positioned in the page thumbnails panel.  Switching selection tools does not make a difference in dragging, but switching between scrolling and single page display definitely DOES make the difference.
