Office 365 files do not open

I recently loaded Office 365 on my Windows 7 desktop. I cannot open any file created in Excel by doubleclicking on the file. I have used the repair function many times, uninstalled the previous version of Office -- no good. I cannot open
Word documents by doubleclicking on the file, but I can open them by opening Word first, then browsing for the file.
If I try to open an Excel file by doubleclicking it, nothing happens. If I try to open it after opening Excel, the file will briefly flash on the screen and then the program crashes. I could open Excel files created in Office 365 by opening Excel
2007, then opening the file from Excel 2007. That's not an option now, as I have uninstalled Excel 2007.
I have tried to run Excel/exe/regserver, and get the error message "Windows cannot find 'Excel.exe/regserver.' Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."
I see that this seems to be a fairly common issue, but I can't find any solution that lets me open Excel files. Hoping that you have a better solution.

Hi,
When uninstalling an Office version while leaving another version installed on the computer, you should repair the version of Office remaining after the uninstallation process, to make sure that file type associations will work correctly.
If you choose to re-register the application, as Diane mentioned above, please note the space in the command.
Thanks,

Office 365 files won't open from network drive

I can’t open any office documents from a mapped network drive. I can however go to file explorer and go straight the server directory (\\servername\share) and open any document. As a workaround, I created a shortcut on the desktop that points
to the share to allow the user to continue working.
I have checked permission and added the path in Trust Center. I know it’s not the computer because I have logged in with other users and everything works fine. I have also logged into other computer with the user that is having the problem and again
everything works. I'm convinced it some setting I'm missing within the user profile on the computer.

Outlook for Office 365 Home will not open

Suggest you either provide a screenshot of what exactly appears or at least provide specifics about the content of what you're encountering (specifics = content as it appears <exactly> on your screen without any para-phrasing). Without that - anyone
would just be guessing as to what you're referring to.

adobe pdf can not be completedly displaced by Adobe reader XI while it is inserted into a Excel2013(office 365) file

Sorry
should be “displaying”
Like when open a drawing pdf which is inserted into Excel(office 365) as an object, some lines, dimensions with remark can not be displayed and only few graph can be displayed.
But if the drawing is a separate PDF file, not inserted into Excel(office 365)as an object, the Adobe XI reader can always open it with all graphs, figures, texts, lines etc. smoothly.

PS I'm not a great techie so assume I don't know what you're talking about!

You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type: ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

I just bought the Nikon D750 and my raw files will not open in CC Photoshop. Is anyone else that has this camera experienced this problem?

I just bought the Nikon D750 and my raw files will not open in CC Photoshop. Is anyone else that has this camera experienced this problem?
My Photoshop says it is up to date, but I am hoping that since this camera just came out, Adobe will have an raw file update soon.

DNG Converter is FREE. Yes, really. No subscription needed.
- Baloney, NOT FREE, it's a proprietary software, not open AT ALL, see Legal Notices, so stop trying to distort the truth here.
Camera Raw (& DNG Converter) 8.7RC has been available since 2nd October, and opens D750 files in Photoshop & Bridge (& Lightroom using DNG Converter).
Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw 8.7 Release Candidate | digital camera raw file support - Adobe Labs
- Still a cumbersome process for this of us that PAID for software and support, the whole point of this discussion is to implement this directly on LR, so we, the PAYING users don't have to waste time doing a useless process that could be EASILY AVOIDED ig Adobe released updates as they are needed, or if they OPENED THE SOURCE CODE so the community could do it.
Adobe created DNG, which is a well-documented backwards-compatible format, which is free for any manufacturer to use.
See here for manufacturers who do (it's an old list, but you get the idea):
http://www.barrypearson.co.uk/articles/dng/products_cameras.htm
- Really? Did you actually read the site? It has PRECIOUS information that illustrate my point: Adobe DNG is an attempt to stop the OpenSource community from achieving the goals of OpenRaw, which is TRUE OPENNESS, Again, Adobe is trying to get manufacturers to PAY LICENSING so they use a PROPRIETARY FORMAT that will HOLD CUSTOMERS on a PAID platform. OpenRaw is he answer for a true competitive environment.
Ask yourself why other manufacturers don't use a documented backwards-compatible format.
- Easy, because they are lazy and want kick-back. The SAME answer that I (and the entire OS community) would give if you asked about Acrobat or MS Office.
If you use a particular piece of software as your main tool, and you buy a camera which isn't yet supported by it, it's your problem. There is an expression used in the industry:
"Poor Planning on your part does not constitute an Emergency on my part."
- I agree here, it's MY PROBLEM that I decided to have a better product, it was my choice. I can still use OS Tools, which will be what I do moving forward, and about that expression, that is EXACTLY why Adobe will keep loosing customers, because the sense of urgency to help who pays their bills is inexistent. You are correct, why should they rush something so simple to help a customer right? Screw the customer... Thanks for making my point...

CS5: double-click on file does not open the file

If Photoshop is closed, double-click on a file will always successfully launch Photoshop and open the picture.
If Photoshop is running, double-clicking on a file will activate Photoshop, but very often the file does not open. It works from time to time though, and that seems to be on a random basis.
Opening a file through the Open command will always work.
I am working with 10.6.3 on a loaded Mac Pro.
Did anybody experience this difficulty? Any help would be appreciated, before I take more drastic measures like reinstalling the software of worse than that. I've already done the usual maintenance operations.

Caustic waltz, while brief, may have hit the nail on the head. If you do not want to continue this thread, you can search the forum for existing posts about Snow Leopard and file-program association confusion. Snow Leopard changed some things and that might be your issue.
More simply, do your image files have extensions? (.PSD, .JPG, etc...)
Hello Marian:
While browsing through my Adobe account, I saw that you took the time to leave a comment two days ago. While it did not solve my problem, I will mark your comment as "helpful" for several reasons. It could have been a cause. And I will add politeness, courtesy and language precision. I'm an old guy and I quite value those elements.
True, Snow Leopard changed changed the way files are associated to applications. Thank God! Here in our small office, we do a lot of cross-platform transfers and finally it works seamlessly. A good description of the new file identification system can be found here.
Now, here are the reasons why Snow Leopard cannot be put at fault in my case:
• If Photoshop CS5 is not launched, double-clicking on any psd, tiff or jpeg file will launch it and open properly.
• If Photoshop CS5 is already running, double-clicking on any psd, tiff, or jpeg file will activate Photoshop CS5 but will not open.
This points at either a bug or damaged Photoshop CS5, or maybe a damaged OS. Don't forget that out of maybe a hundred apps, this is the first time I meet with that problem. Of course, the easier course, but by no means guaranteed to work, is to presume that Photoshop CS5 is damaged or that its installation did not work properly. So I did the following things:
• I deactivated Photoshop CS5 and uninstalled it.
• I ditched all remaining files related to CS5, CS4, CS3, CS2, CS... yes I know, but then you know as well as I do0 that getting really rid of Photoshop is a daunting task. It took me almost two hours, but I am reasonably sure that the cleaning job was complete.
• I reinstalled Photoshop CS5.
Now everything works just fine at least for the time being. Time will tell, of course, but I think that the problem is solved.

Office 365 Files REST API - Get direct children in the root of the default document library

I'm trying to work with Office 365 Files REST API which works just fine except one thing that I'm struggling with.
What I need for my application is to make an explorer like browse capability for OneDrive for business Document Library.
My problem is that I don't know how to get the direct children in the root of the Document library
The API request
GET ../_api/files will
retrieve all files and folders in the default document library, including files and folders from sub-directories.
What I need is basically the functionality of the API request
GET ../_api/files(<folder_path>)/Children
that works also for the root folder of the Document library. The problem is that I couldn't find a way set <folder_path> as the root folder.
I found out that the API call ../_api/web/getfolderbyserverrelativeurl(<folder_server_relative_path>)/Folders and _api/web/getfolderbyserverrelativeurl(<folder_server_relative_path>)/Files works as expected resulting the only the direct
children of the root folder if the folder_server_relative_path is the path of the document library. The problem with this API call is that it's requires server relative path of the (default) document library (which i don't have) and the result has a different
schema compared to the ../_api/files REST API call.
Can somebody help me with this problem?
David

First thanks for the fast answer. Let me explain my use case in more details.
I'm trying to work with the new summer release of the
Office 365 API tool for Visual Studio 2013 (update 3)
I found no reasonable way to retrieve the direct children of the root folder from my One Drive for business Document Library using the newly added SharePointClient library.
The API call of `SharePointClient.Files` will retrieve all the files and folders from the whole document library including sub-folders. So in order to get only the direct children I have to page through all the documents and folders and analyze their URL, which
is not acceptable for my application scenario. For a sub-folder I can get the direct children like this: `SharePointClient.Files["<folder_id>"].ToFolder().Children` This is what I need but it can't be applied to the root folder.
So what I did I've checked what REST API calls this library makes and I've tried to find out if there is a way to achieve my goal at least using direct REST API call. It seems like the functionality is missing from the REST API itself.
The http://site
url/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle(‘libraryname’)/items API call also retrieves all the items hierarchy from the library (including items from sub-folders) and the result XML "schema" (fields and the meaning of the ID) differs from the one used
by the calls by SharePointClient library. (for example the "Id" is a number when the /items is called but when
/_api/files is called the "Id" is the relative path to the document library)
Basically what I need can be achieved with the call to http://site url/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle(‘libraryname’)/rootfolder/files and http://site
url/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle(‘libraryname’)/rootfolder/folders but again the schema of the result differs from the one used in SharePointClient
library. This means that in order to get the direct children of the root I will need to re-implement a good part of the SharePointClient library. It seams like there is 2 kind of REST API is implemented. ( missing "Id" and "url"
fields, etc)
Also there is no convenient way to get the Name or the GUID of the default document library which the SharePointClient.Files
(https://site_url/_api/file) automatically
uses. The DiscoveryContext.DiscoverCapability for "MyFiles" doesn't gives any hint either.

PDF files will not open in a Safari (v 6.0.5) browser window

PDF files will not open in a Safari (v 6.0.5) browser window, OS 10.8.5. Version 11.0.04 Adobe Reader and Plug-ins installed. Both local and internet files do not load. What is happening here?

Ok. I reloaded v 11.0.04 of Adobe Reader after quiting Safari 6.0.5 . Then deleted the 2 plug-ins AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin . Relaunched Safari and tried to read a pdf from a repository at the URL mentioned in post 10 . The file was loaded and displayed correctly. Also a pdf file from my local disk store displayed nicely as well. What I do not understand is that there is no listing of an Adobe plug in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins , nor does Safari list any Adobe plug ins. So in that case this means that plug-ins for the display of pdfs in Safari windows are no longer needed!
Adobe Reader version 11.0.04 is now working for me.
Thanks for the help and the solution C.F.McBlob

Freehand can't convert EPS files into editable vectors. I
usually run
EPS files through Illustrator and then into Frehand. If you
don't have
Illustrator you can convert the EPS into a PDF and that
Freehand will
sometimes convert into editable vectors (though it does
involve a lot
more clean up than going through Illustrator.)
