Numbers 3.5 unable to open files from '08

I just home with my new computer and it has Numbers 3.5. I had Numbers '08 on my old computer. I am unable to open my files on the new computer. An Apple Care person told me that I need order iWorks '09 from Amazon or Ebay, wait for it to arrive in the mail, install, open every single file and save in '09 version and then REPEAT this with the 3.5 version of Numbers. Any other way around this??? That will take days!

No, unfortunately that's the only workaround. You can't open them directly.
These are documents you've had but not opened in 5 years? Maybe they should just go to the trash

Unable to open files from Dropbox

I am suddenly unable to open any files - InDesign documents, images, etc. that are stored within Dropbox.
This started happening after I bought a new laptop with Mavericks installed.
I do not have this issue with any of my Microsoft products, only Creative Cloud programs.
Is this a known issue. Is there any resolution for it?
thanks
Yvonne

Same problem here and this is really an absolute no go!
No problems before. I can save files from cc into Dropbox but cannot
place them into a InDesign document for example. They are simply not shown.
And it doesn't matter of PSD, JPG or any other file. I allways have to drag and drop
them from the finder into the InDesign document.

unable to open pc files from my migration to new mac; can see them but finder says they have been moved or deleted and will say i don't have permission to open any clues???

Have you logged-on to the new account that was created by the Migration app for the Windoze files? That user should have normal access to them.

Unable to open files from within Photoshop

Hi, I've updated to CC 2014.2.1 and I'm continuing to get this message when I attempt to open a file from within Photoshop (it started when I installed a beta versionYosemite, so I switched back to Mavericks, but it didn't help, [so many updates with Cloud, I lose track..]). I noticed someone else with a similar problem, but from 2013. Anyway, I get this message: 'Could not complete your request because of a program error.' I restart Photoshop, then I can open a few files, but then the errors start over.
Also, I'm not really familiar with the 'forum' means of support, but if anyone knows a solution to this beyond 'google it', which I've done, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks Jeffery Tranberry—this did the trick. BUT while an answer to my issue gave the following feedback to Adobe....
Use of COVERFLOW if EXTREMELY IMPORTANT (in Photoshop) when working fast with hundreds of images. Who the heck labels every single image asset file—and knows what that is without a visual cue? WHEN IS THIS ON THE ROADMAP TO BE FIXED?????????? UGH! MAVERICKS has been coming for MONTHS. Why was this not vetted on Adobe's end as a valuable roadmap item for its users? I would have ranked this a high item from a user experience end and fought for inclusion on the developers roadmap. What is the ETA on a real fix concerning Mavericks & Coverflow use with Photoshop?

Unable to open files from Finder

I just bought my Macbook Pro yesterday. This is my first Mac so bear with me. I bought and installed Office for Mac. The problem is that I cannot open files directly from Finder or the folder stack on my Dock. If I trt to open a Word or Excel file from there i get this message:
Microsoft Excel cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Microsoft Excel works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application...............
I have already reinstalled the program (Now I have duplicate icons in Launcher).
The only way to open a file seems to be to open the program and then open the file from within the program. I have already set the "Open With" preferences and this does not seem to help. If Word/Excel is running, I can double click a file from the stack and it opens with no problem.
Any ideas???

I fixed the problem. Stupid me forgot to check for software updates when I installed Office. Seems the most recent updates have fixed this problem.

Unable to open files from 3rd party websites/applications

Hi all,
My new macbook arrived with QT 7.0.4, I used it perfectly for a week with no problem, but now after carrying out a 'software upgrade' via system preferences to QT 7.1.1 I now find that Quicktime will not open hardly anything!!!! Not bad considering Apples information at the download window states that 7.1.1 was implemented to fix bugs that prevented QT from opening files in 3rd party applications. Whats going on?.......
In the mean time I've had to carry out a system reboot to go back to QT 7.0.4 and now its back to how it should be. What version of Quicktime 7 am I going to have to wait for before this issue if rectified?
Cheers
Smarteee

Thanks all

Numbers on iPad no longer opens files from iCloud

My wife uses her computer to update client files for work (running Mavericks), and her iPhone (iOS7). The problem now is that she uses the iPad during work hours while she is working with clients. We have the original iPad, which cannot update to iOS7, and so it cannot update to the newest version of Numbers. The iPad no longer opens any files that she edits on her computer or phone because they are both updated to the newer version of numbers.
The iPad is her primary need though for the files to work on, so how do we get files to open on the iPad and stay compatible even if edited on her phone or computer. This was never a problem before, but now that iOS7 has automatic updates, her numbers updated to the newest version and she can't go back. Even if we got the older version installed...I assume that the automatic updates would just update it again.
Is there anyway to get this sorted out so that the files just stay in the old format? Or so that the original iPad can open them?

It seems this is a known issue with Dreamweaver. I was able to access the files just fine by deselecting "display external links" in the view menu. Strange that I did not have to do this before.
For anyone interested, here are some links about this: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=12&catid=18 9&threadid=1262486&highlight_key=y&keyword1=design%20mode and http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb401608&sliceId=1

2. Uninstalled and re-installed office.
3. Cleared the cache from Skydrive/ Office document upload center.
4. Tried to reproduce issue on another thin client with a different user logging in and accessing the same file...no issue.
User can download the file and upload the file with no issue just cannot open it online in webapps using IE9.
The OS is a 64-bit Windows 7 Enterprise and he has used IE9 32 bit and 64 bit with same issue.
Permissions were verified to the file as well.

Still unable to open files (from My Pictures) in PSE 11.

Have tried several things including going right into C./Program Files etc, etc.( found I could not find Security to check on read/write possible problem) but still cannot access PSE 11 directly from My Pictures when I highlight a picture/go to File/Open With/Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 and the file will not open. Error reads not valid Win32 application. All fine when I go from PSE /Open/ etc... But, I want to be able to access from My Pictures.
Not sure about going to default...Once again, please advise. I have looked through various sites and find others seem to have similar issue.

So, according to Apple Support, this was verified and determined as normal operation for 10.5.x. How lame.

BOBJ is unable to delete file from OFRS

System Info:
Business Objects Enterprise XI3.1 SP3 FP3.2
Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition SP3
Oracle 10.2
Java 1.6.0_20
APACHE Tomcat 5.5.20
2 clustered servers
FRS located on SAN Disk Drive connected to primary server (Winchester1)
We use WebIntelligence exclusivly.
We are receiving the following error in our event log on our clustered server:

Category: General
Type: Warning
Event ID: 33018
Computer: Winchester2
Unable to delete file from the file repository. Make sure a File Repository Server is running and registered and enabled. Details : Failed to connect to the File Repository Server output. Make sure the server is up and running.
We have verified the FRS is running and we are able to connect to it from our clustered server (Winchester2). The security settings are set to full control for the admin group and the users have Read/Write access to the file store folders. The errors are filling up our event logs and causing issues with the servers. this appears to be happening each morning and the file it is trying to delete is an .xls file.
We have a ticket open with SAP Support but they are just as baffled as we are and keep sending us from one group to another and tell us they need to look at it on thier end and they will get back to us.
Has anyone had this happen on their system?

Hi Richard, did you ever get this issue resolved? We are having a similar issue on XI R3 SP4 using NAS/CIFS shares for our File Stores. We see this issue mainly after our servers are patched and a full environment restart is initiated. Like you, our event logs fill up with so many error messages I cannot pinpoint exactly when the issue starts happening.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Can't open files from iCloud Drive on Mac

Hi,
Can't open file from iCloud Drive on my MacBook Air (OS X 10.10.1).
I created new file (in Numbers for example). Then Numbers->File->Open->iCloud Drive->my_file.numbers and it says "Can't open file my_file.numbers".
I can preview the file by pressing Space, but openning from application and double-click on it doesn't work.
Files that were created earlear also not opened.
Does anybody know how to solve this problem? thanks.

Using smtp.mail.me.com - also tried smtp.me.com
SSL yes
port 587
SMTP Authentification Yes
Security SLS/TLS - also tried STARTTLS
User full **@me.com email address - also tried user name without @me.com
I have spoken to apple support this afternoon and we tried the variations shown above.
Support told me to wait for a day and try again!
After the iCloud authentication problem last night I changed all my passwords I wonder if there is an SMTP problem at me.com perhaps not reading the updated passwords?
I'll try and use the old passwords later.

Unsolved: unable to open file because it isn't a valid Keynote document

I'm trying to open a presentation I made some time ago, it is a .key file I used to open without any problems. Now the message appears:
"Unable to open file because it isn't a valid Keynote document".
I tried the solution described here, but it didn'd work: i change extension to .zip, unzip it and there is no index file. There are only pictures from the presentation in .tiff
I also sent the file to my friends and they had the same problem opening it. It's very strange, I've successfully opened it before. And the problem is only with THIS file!
Please help me out!

Have you tried to create a new Keynote Presentation? Do you have another previously saved Keynote file you can try to open? These will make sure it is a problem with this specific presentation and not the whole program.
Try to delete the Keynote Preferences. They are located in the folder Macintosh HD>Users>your username>Library>Preferences and titled com.apple.iWork.Keynote.plist.
Your profile shows that you are still on Mc OS 10.6.6, is that true? You might try to update to 10.6.7 as I believe that there was a font issue fixed in this update (I don't know for sure since I am still on 10.5.8).
Try those and report back and we will see what we can come up with.

For the benefit of anyone who experiences this error in IIS7, the IUSR_xxx user no longer exists. You must grant permissions to "IIS APPPOOL\hfmAppPool" instead (select the local machine as the "Location" if Windows Explorer complains).
Similarly, for the benefit of those who get the error in HFM 11.1.2.1, security must be applied to the Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\product\FinancialManagement\Web folder.

Unable To Open File.......... The system cannot find the file specified

hi all.
First time poster.
i have a windows VM running on my macbook...
have had no troubles for the last 2 months using hourly...
have just restarted the mac, and have come up with the unable to open file error...
i'm confused (extremely new to mac)
is there anything i need / can do to fix? (had a heap of stuff i needed on the windows VM)
thanks

Welcome to the Community,
I can't tell you what was causing this, but according to the support bundle you provided, three of the required .vmdk files are missing (Virtual Disk-s001.vmdk, Virtual Disk-s002.vmdk, and Virtual Disk-s003.vmdk). These files however still existed when you used the VM at "2015-05-23T12:29:04.017+10:00" (see vmware.log).
Since the VM is running on a snapshot and the base .vmdk files have a time stamp of April, 14th, you should be able to recover these three files from a recent backup (assuming you are regularly backing up your system). You may also want to check whether there's a lost+found folder on your system which contains the files!?

REP-110: Unable to open file

9iAS report server has been configured.
There is Infrastructure & Business Intelligence Forms home is on same server.
When i try to run the demo url from web browser :
http://<FQDN server>:8888/reports/rwservlet?destype=cache&desformat=PDF&report=Inventory_Report.rdf&userid=scott/tiger@iasdb1
its giving the error as:
REP-110: Unable to open file 'Inventory_Report.rdf'.
REP-1070: Error while opening or saving a document.
REP-0110: Unable to open file 'Inventory_Report.rdf'.
Tried giving full path also But No Luck!
The file is existing in the proper given path with required permissions.
Can somebody help me.. If any configuration related help, path setting ??

I have had issues with reports failing to run. My solution was to change settings on the Report App server. I changed the engine parameters to:
initial engines=2
maximum engines=5
minimum engines =2
maximum job before shutdown (englife)=1
maximum idle before shutdown=30
JVM Option= -Xms512m -Xmx512m
When in the report App server, you should see a page with settings similar to above. Make sure you try these settings in the test environment first (you can change them around then to see what works best).
