My Word 2004 all of a sudden does not open

I can't open any old Word files with word. It just shows the Word prescreen (registered to...) and then gets stuck.
When I go directly to open word in my dashboard, the same happens.
I reinstalled Office 2004, rebooted, same problem. I hope someone has figured a way out of this mess.
Thanks for looking into it!

Try all USB ports and different cables. Test on another Mac.
I suggest that you take out the WD HDD from the WD enclosure and install it into another enclosure. Then connect it to your MBA.
Ciao.

Apple TV all of a sudden does not play certain Itunes songs....

I have about 5000 songs on my Itunes on my Imac and accordingly Apple TV. All of a sudden about ten songs do not play on Apple TV (but play on my Itunes on my Imac). The songs are listed on Apple TV, but when I go to play them it says "Apple TV cannot play this song at this time".
I have deleted and resynced the songs to Apple TV, and still get the same message. These songs were all purchased on Itunes, they are not DRM, and I do not have more than 5 devices with this content. At a loss on what the problem is.
Permanently deleted one of the songs, and Itunes would not let me buy it again, as it said it was "already purchased". I know there has to be a setting somewhere to allow the re-purchase, but instead of wasting my money, would like to get this issue fixed.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Did you do that by Repopulating iTunes or did you just unsync and resync.

Adobe PE 4 suddenly does not open

After working with Adobe PE4 all afternoon with no issues I suddenly get the messsage "could not import the clipboard because of a problem parsing the PICT". Now I cannot even open the application. Anyone know why? I'm on a mac running OS X.5.7. Thanks for any help. I have an urgent job to finish!!

Try copying something small (like a word) into your OS clipboard. Does this clear it for you?
If that doesn't work, have a look through this apple thread. Maybe, something in this discussion will help.

Photoshop Elements 5.0 Organizer suddenly does not open

I've been using Photoshop Elements 5.0 for over a decade without any problems. Suddenly, the Organizer will not open. I can open the Editor but not the Organizer. What the ---- ????

Thanks for replying with a potential solution. When the Welcome Screen comes up, I tried holding down the shift key as I hit the Organizer icon. That doesn't seem to do anything. The program starts to load - I see the status comments showing the various steps. But then nothing happens - nothing opens. Do you know any other way that I can get to the catalog manager??
Also - if I reinstall the software or upgrade to the latest version of Elements (in order to fix this problem) will I be able to retain all the tags that I've attached to my photos? I have thousands of pictures categorized and tagged and it would take me years to try to find and retag all of the pictures.
Any insight you can provide is much appreciated.

IMove all of a sudden will not open on Mac Pro

iMovie will not run on my MacPro. It has in the past. The window I get says that it requires a graphics card that is compatible with Quartz Extreme. One or more of your graphics cards does not support Quartz Extreme. What? It runs fine on my Mac Book Pro and even my old imac. Any ideas? I am stumped. I have not changed my graphics cards in my MacPro so why won't it run? Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom

Having the same problem with it either not opening, freezing on opening, or opening and then half of the clips are missing, won't display, projects are missing, etc. Tried all of the fixes listed here to no avail. I've been searching all over the iMovie 08 forum and this problem is posted in several different threads. It appears to be a growing problem for users of 10.5.3. One post had you throw out a preference file, I tried that too but nothing in any of these posts is working. Any other ideas?

OK - my 4s all of a sudden does not connect to wifi - i've noticed chatter out there on this happening to a lot of other people. Apple seems not to want to acknowledge this as a problem. What's up Apple? Should be better than that!

If this is a widespread problem ... then it sounds like Apple needs to step up.
By their handling of this problem I can only suspect that they have an arrangement with carriers to have the wifi become disabled so that we have to use the carriers... and go over our ... data plans.
6 months to go on my plan ... sorry Apple but after 15 years of loyalty ... I'm going to have to reconsider my next phone. When the customer gets treated like a buisiness ... then I guess we have to do the same to you ... nothing personal. It doesn't take a genius to figure that out!

Hi Seraphiel07.
I have a very similar issue. Hardware involved:
Apple MacMini (Mid 2011) - OSX 10.8.2. iTunes 10.7. Home Sharing enabled.
Apple TV (3rd Generation). Home Sharing (access) enabled.
Apple MacBook Pro (15" Mid-2009). OSX 10.8.2. iTunes 10.7. Home Sharing enabled.
Apple iPad 2 (Wifi only). iOS 6
Apple iPhone 4S. iOS 6
All connected through:
Apple Time Capsule 8.0211n (4th Gen)
I have an iTunes library on the MacBook Pro, shared over "Home Sharing" and another (duplicate content, different library name) iTunes library on my MacMini, which is also accessed through the Apple TV.
All software is current (as of Sep 26th).
All movies are iTunes purchases. 80 in total.
All files are purchased (and home shared) under one account.
My last two iTunes purchases both HD movies on 09/17/2012 and 09/05/2012 refuse to appear on any device accessing either of the two Libraries over Home Sharing. It should be noted that every other movie (the other 78) all show up and play correctly. I therefore know it is not an issue with connectivity, otherwise I would see zero movies available.
I have:
1. Removed all content from each Library and re-added
2. Upgraded the OS on the MacMini 10.8.2
3. Tested viewing the two missing movies on other Apple devices and no luck.
4. Turn home sharing on and off within iTunes and also on each device.
It would appear to me that the issue is with the files themselves, rather than the devices as different devices and different versions have been tested.
All comments welcome.

Mac Pro all of the sudden does not recognize my TV

Hey Everyone
I just got a 13 in MBP and have been connecting it to my TV using the mini display port and hdmi cable. Everything has been great for the past month until today. I was gonna steam a movie from my MBP to TV but my TV screen stayed black after I connected all the cables. I checked under System Preferences > Display and Audio to see if my MBP was recognizing the TV and it was not. Could anyone help me out? I have been stumped for the past half hour and need some help.
Thanks

Photoshop CS6 suddenly does not open a tif-file

... which I just created in the same Photoshop CS6 half an hour ago. The error message when opening says: "Der Vorgang konnte nicht ausgeführt werden, weil diese Datei nicht mit dieser Version von Photoshop kompatibel ist." (could not open because this file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop). The tif-file has more than 10 layers and is about 150 MB big. There was absolutely no error while saving the file in the first place. I already tried opening in 64 and in 32 bit version.
How can this be and how can I get back or repair my file?
Thank you very much in advance!!!

Try opening it in another program like CorelDraw or a simple image viewer like IrfanView.

Can you start iMovie from another user account on your Mac? If so, something is corrupted in your User folder, most likely the Plist.
Try going to <User>/Library/Preferences/ folder.
Drag com.apple.iMovieApp.plist to your desktop.
Then restart iMovie.
If that does not help, the corruption may be in your Project file. In this case, if you are running Time Machine, go back in time to a working version.

3 beeps usually means a Ram problem, have you added or removed Ram recently?
And I will assume that you do not have a Mac Pro, but that you have a portable, a MacBook Pro.

I did not use my computer yesterday, and now all of a sudden, Firework does not open at all after clicking on its icon or starting as a program. I did not download any upgrades or anything else, and I have Norton 360 version 3. I can open Internet Explorer, but that's not my default browser, so I have no problem with the Internet connection.
What could be the problem, how can I restore my browser without losing my bookmarks, settings, etc?

If you close Firefox, then start Firefox in Safe Mode, does the problem still occur? For instructions on starting in Safe Mode, see [[Safe Mode]]. Extensions can sometimes be the cause of problems. If the problem does not occur in Safe Mode, then you can disable your extensions one-by-one until you find out which one is causing the problem. See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] Update Firefox, see [[Updating Firefox]]

I have files that have been on my computer for over a year and all of a sudden they wont open and an error message comes up saying they were improperly downloaded or came in an email attach which is not the case

I have files that have been on my computer for over a year and I have used them several times and all of a sudden they wont open. I received an error message saying they are improperly downloaded or came as an email attachement which is not the case. Please advise

They seem to be word files - they will open if I choose "open with" microsoft word, but if I double click they don't open they are appearing as PDF on my screen. I even opened one and then tried to "save as" making sure I chose .doc and they still appear as PDF
I just created a new document response.doc in word and when I saved to my desktop it appears as a PDF file and I absolutely did not create a PDF or save as PDF it was a simple word
doc.
The message says "Adobe reader could not open response.doc because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example attached in an email and not properly decoded)
The reader version is I believe the most current, I always update when prompted. OS is Windows 8

I just had to reformat the external hard drive that houses my iPhoto library, then restore it from a backup. Now Time Machine is telling me my backup hard drive suddenly does not have the space to complete a backup. I also noticed when I go in to Time Machine, there are only about 5 backups recorded on the ext. hard drive. There were many more before. Any idea what happened and if I have to buy a new back up hard drive?

Hallo Kieth ,
I am not quite ready to restore the full iphoto library , as I have days of work re - imputting titles,descriptions and enhancement . I hope that your suggestion works , as I use my Macbook basically to work with digital photography. Through time , I will need to delete my library to recover more disc space and I would hate to have to spend more time re - imputting titles and descriptions all over again .
Thanks for your interest and advice.
regards - Alan
