    THis is safe for Mac's? Sorry, I have just never heard of this site before.
    And there are literally tens of thousands of sites of which I've not heard, too. Not this one.
    It's legit. There are lots of links in Apple Support Communities to the LibreOffice web site, as well as others that are legitimate open-source developers of options to buying MS Office, such as NeoOffice and OpenOffice. I have Open Office installed on one of my older Macs that can't run Office 2011 and it is rock-solid.
    I've been here too long to start posting bogus urls now.

  • After deleting some unnecessary Apps in my Macbook Pro, I plugged my thumb drive to discover that I can't open my files, which I normally can, because they've turned into ".lnk" files. Please help.

    I have files in my thumb drive that I cant open. Inside my thumb drive, I've organized files in folders but I have files I havent put in folders yet. Those files turned into .lnk files.
    My theory is, my thumb drive caught a virus from another laptop because I copied files from my colleagues laptop.

    There are no viruses for a Mac, new theory required. .lnk files are aliases to a file, what did you delete?

  • Word 2010 to PDF hyperlink opens browser for local file...

    Recently upgraded to Office 2010.  I used the Save As .pdf option in Word 2010 for a file that contains a hyperlink to a local pdf file. When I open the saved pdf file with Acrobat Reader and click on the link, my default browser starts up to display the local file. I have tried using different versions of Acrobat Reader, different operating systems, and all kinds of options, but can't figure out why this is happening. I think it's a bug in Word 2010, but can't find any information about this on the web.
    Does anyone have any clues?

    OK, replying to my own post, I did just find a Workaround
    that's only a few extra steps.....
    After all edits and changes were completed in the Word file, I printed to PDF from Word,
    creating a Rev A file. Once that was done and a new pdf was created, I opened the
    Original File and selected "Combine" from the "File" pull down menu.
    With both of the files in the same PDF document, I deleted all the pages from the
    Original file. Page one of the Rev A file is now p. 1 of the "combined" file,
    and all the PDF bookmarks (still there from the Original File) line up in the right
    sequence. The bookmarks (produced by "Saving to PDF" with Headings 1 and 2,
    when the original PDF was made) need to be re-linked to the pages in the Rev A
    file, but that's quicker than starting from scratch.
    Not really very elegant, but it worked. I'd be curious to know what's wrong with the
    PDF files saved with bookmarks in WORD, because that happens EVERY time.
    I have Acrobat Pro Extended, iteration 9.5.1

  • Lnk files are appearing and Adboe acrobat reader can't open them

    2 days ago I sent a file from my other laptop to this Toshiba one, when I went to open it it didn't open, it said it was a LNK file, now all the icons on my desktop are showing as lnk files and saying adobe can't open them as they are not supported or not coded correctly.
    Also when I click on all programmes they are all saying Adboe can't open them? All my files seem to have changed? Has anyone got any ideas what has happened and also how I can reset it?
    Thanks

    Hi,did you copy and paste the files or drag and drop the files through network folder,lnk extensions are shortcut links,try reconnecting the laptop to the network and try opening again,if you need the files on your laptop make sure the whole file is sent,check file size by right clicking then selecting properties the file size is there then compare both files.

  • JFileChooser opens .lnk files as separate files

    When .lnk file is chosen in a JFileChooser,
    it returns this .lnk file. How to make the chooser to return the file this .lnk links to ?
    THANK YOU!

    Dear Dude, the .lnk files are Win32 executable files.
    (and so can be infected by virus)
    The only true links I know are in Unix-like file systems !!
    Windows LNK files are system-specifics, so it is not Java conern to handle them !
    Do as rustypup advise you to do, but it is easier to say than to do !!

  • How to open and read binary files?

    How do I open and read Binary files?

    Did you  look on The Unarchiver's web site where it has a link to older versions? http://theunarchiver.googlecode.com/files/TheUnarchiver3.2_legacy.zip
    The best thing to do is ask your friends what programs they used to produce these files, or at least what format files they are producing.  Otherwise it's like being shown a car and given a bundle of 200 keys with no idea to which one to use, or even if any of them work with that car.
    Using The Unarchiver will likely not do anything because it too will not know what format files are involved, and they may not even been in an archived format.  If they sent you a Word file without telling you (a favorite of Windows users to do  -- it drives me crazy when they could have just sent them in plain text), The Unarchiver won't open them.  If it's a picture file then using Hexedit will just show you a bunch of unintelligible stuff as shown in an earlier post, though you may see a line of text providing a hint.
    As I said earlier, often .bin may be an executable program which needs another program to actually interpret it.  That's what Java is trying to do.  Still, it may think it can execute the file, but it is highly unlikely somebody would send you an executable program (and if they did I would not trust it).  For all you know it may be a Windows virus.

  • HT202879 I am stumped - trying to open a recent Pages file but error message says that I need a "newer version" of Pages.  My software updates show that there are no updates available.  I recently updated Pages but it is not consistent.

    I am stumped - I am trying to open a recent Pages file (created with a newer software that I thought was correctly installed recently) but error message says that I need a "newer version" of Pages.  My software updates show that there are no updates available. Pages 09 version 4.3 shows as my current version.

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
    Note: Apple has removed over 95 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • Another "there was an error opening this document. this file cannot be found"-question

    Hello people, as the title suggests, i have another question regarding the "there was an error opening this document. this file cannot be found" error. I have searched on Google and on these forums but i havent found an answer to my particular case (sorry if i overlooked it).
    I work at a supportdesk for a company that uses Windows XP with Adobe Reader version 8.1.3.
    Users are getting this error when they access a PDF file placed on a (mapped) networkdrive. Contrary to some other cases i have found on this forum, spaces are handled without a problem. But a comma in the name of one of the folders that contain the PDF file are what causes this error.
    i.e.:
    Opening the following path results in the error:
    L:\X, Y & Z\adobe.pdf
    Removing the comma so the path becomes:
    L:\X Y & Z\adobe.pdf
    works just fine.
    So far our workaround has always been to simply remove the comma and move on, but I've been wondering why this comma is such a problem for Adobe Reader. As far as i know Adobe Reader is the only program we use that has this issue, M$ Word works just fine with it to name an example.
    To sum my questions up:
    - Why is comma (,) a problem for Adobe Reader?
    - Have i missed any patches/new versions where this issue has been addressed?
    - What is Adobe's stance on this, and are there any plans to "fix" this?

    Ok, nevermind, we just found the problem
    It's not Adobe Reader that is causing this, but another program the company uses to manage/distribute/authorise programs that users are allowed to access (Scense). I had never even considered another problem could have caused this for Reader.

  • Open and print multiple files from the Finder all at once.

    I'm trying to research how to do this. In OS9 you used to be able to hi-lite multiple files (Word files for example) and just hit Command+P. This would automatically open all of the files AND print them.
    I can't seem to do this in my OS X. Or can I? I can hi-lite and go to File/Print, but the computer is only opening but not printing.
    Any suggestions??
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I don't know how to both "open and print" multiple files in one step. The ⌘O combination of course will open multiple items. The items remain selected so switching back to the "Finder" and dragging multiple icons onto the icon for "/Applications" > "Utilities" > "Printer Setup Utility.app" seems to cause them all to be printed to the default printer.
    Alternatively, a user's "~/Library/Printers" folder contains printer icons -- I'm not sure what they are exactly, but they represent the printers set up for that account. They function pretty much like the pre-OS X "Desktop Printer" icons so dragging and dropping multiple files onto them should cause them to be printed. It may even be possible to create aliases to them on the "Desktop" to recreate "Desktop Printer" functionality. But again, this won't open the files into their applications.

  • "Unable to open a virtual memory file" and "Unable to initialize Photoshop" errors

    Hi
    I installed Photoshop CS6 64-bit on Windows 7 SP1 64-bit.
    When it starts, these two messages are displayed:
    Unable to open a virtual memory file because the file is locked. You do not have permission or the file is being used by another program. ...
    Unable to initialize Photoshop because the file is locked. You do not have permission or the file is being used by another program. ...
    How come?
    Thanks
    Bye

    In other words, I have installed Photoshop CS6 64-bit (using the default directory) on Windows 7 SP1 64-bit.
    My computer has 4 GB of RAM and a virtual memory file of 6644 MB.
    When it starts, the two above messages are displayed also with an account of Administrator type?
    How come?
    Thanks

  • How to Open the FailedFilesLog.txt File (statement), and How to Increase the 100 File Limit (question)

    It took us a while to figure this out, so I'm posting this in case it's helpful for someone out there. Plus, I have a question...
    DPM gave the following error for one of our file servers:
    Description: The replica of Volume D:\ on <servername> is inconsistent with the protected data source. Number of files skipped for synchronization due to errors has exceeded the maximum allowed limit of 100 files on this data
    source (ID 32538 Details: Internal error code: 0x809909FE)
    Recommended action: Review the failure errors for individual files from the log file
    \\?\Volume{8492c150-f195-11de-a186-001cc4ef89a0}\B1E9D373-2C03-464E-A472-99BC93DB1E2A\FailedFilesLog.txt and take appropriate action. If some files fail consistently, you can exclude the folders containing these files by modifying the protection group or
    moving the files to another location.
    So, how do you actually open the FailedFilesLog.txt file shown in this DPM alert? What is this path referring to? Well, this is the mount point for the protected server's replica volume on the DPM server, which is mounted under \Program
    Files\Microsoft DPM\DPM\Volumes\Replica\servername\File System. Here you'll see the mount points for all of the server's protected volumes. However, if you try to open one of these mounted volumes
    in Windows Explorer, you'll get Access Denied, even if you have administrator rights. (If someone knows of a way around this, please let me know). As a workaround, you can access this mounted volume in an elevated
    command prompt. Steps:
    Open an Administrator Command Prompt
    Type mountvol <AnyAvailableDriveLetter>: \\?\Volume{VolumeGUID}
    Example:  mountvol m: \\?\Volume{8492c150-f195-11de-a186-001cc4ef89a0}   Note that we're only using the first part of the path to the FailedFilesLog.txt
    file given in the DPM alert, starting from \\? and ending after the
    } character.
    Next, type m: to change to the newly mounted m: drive.
    Then type cd B1E9D373-2C03-464E-A472-99BC93DB1E2A   This is actually a folder name so we're just going into this folder.
    Finally type dir and you should see the FailedFilesLog.txt file. This file can be copied to another location where it's easier to use (i.e. in Windows Explorer).
    Be sure to unmount this volume when you're done by typing mountvol m: /d in the command prompt. (Mountvol reference:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc772586(WS.10).aspx.)
    What a pain, eh? But at least by reviewing the FailedFilesLog.txt file you can determine which files or folders caused the sync to fail and thus take action accordingly.
    Now, here's my question: Where is that registry key that lets me adjust the limit of 100 files that DPM allows to be skipped before it fails the replica? Hopefully someone out there will tell me. I know this can be done because Kapil Malhotra
    said so in this post:
    http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.dataprotectionmanager/browse_thread/thread/a179fa30fb50c9b0/e9a348f2a9386063?lnk=raot.
    Also, does anyone know what the internal error code 0x809909FE means in this alert? Knowing this my help us determine what caused these files to fail. Interestingly, in the FailedFilesLog.txt file, it gave a different error code next to each failed file:
    0x80070002.
    -Taylorbox

    Thanks for responding, Fahd. So, just to be sure...
    Do I add this registry key to the DPM server or to the protected servers (or both)?
    In either case, the ContinueOnFailure key does not currently exist. So, I must create this key and the MaxFailedFiles DWORD value
    manually, right?
    Does the server in which I create this regkey have to be restarted for it to take affect?
    Can the DPM alert for the 0x809909FE error event (for exceeding the limit of 100 failures) please be adjusted to provide a path to the FailedFilesLog.txt file
    that actually works if you click on it?
    Any ideas on why the 0x80070002 "File not found" error happened? The files on the server were simply created and then deleted. Why would such file activity lead to this error?
    Thanks,
    -Taylorbox

  • When I try to open an embedded PDF file I get an error "The program used to create this object is AcroExch.exe.

    When I try to open an embedded PDF file (Word doc) I get an error "The program used to create this object is AcroExch.exe. That program is either not installed on your computer, or is corrupt..."  I've tried  about everything from unchecking
    protected mode at startup to removing & reinstalling Adobe.  Nothing seems to fix this issue.  Any other ideas?
    This is happening on Adobe reader 9, 10 & 11 with MS Word 2010 & 2013.  I've uninstalled, cleaned & reinstalled Reader 9, 10 & 11, as well as Acrobat 10 Pro & 11 Standard.  Removed "Protected mode at startup, and changed
    the default program for viewing from reader to Acrobat.  This will not go away.  It is affecting production at our company.

    " Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder" . i can't find open containing folder in profile directory. it does give me the option to open the places.sqlite file using graphic converter. when i try that, graphic converter gives me a window saying that it can't be opened because it is corrupted or is not a file type supported by graphic converter.
    i appreciate your help with a workaround to get the old bookmarks. that works. however, the problem has morphed from that concern to why adobe reader [the default app.] won't open firefox .sqlite files. is the problem in adobe reader or firefox? also, how can i tell if the places.sqlite file is corrupt?
    i'm getting in over my head here and do appreciate your help.

  • After update to 10.9.2, I cannot open a MS Office files on a shared Mac

    We have two Macs. Hubby's Mac can't open MS Office files from my Mac. The problelm is only one way. I can open those same files from my Mac and I can open Office files from hubby's Mac.  We both have Office 2011. 
    I get the following error message:
    Word cannot open this document.  The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document or the file name might contain invalid characters". 
    I have tried changing the file name, moving the file, duplicating the files, saving it to a earlier version of Word.  Nothing woks.
    I also get this on Excel.
    I called Apple for this problem.  They advised me to call Microsoft.  I called Microsoft and they told me that the problem is with Apple's virtual drive.  They suggested I call Apple and have them turn off my virtual drive. 
    I have no idea how to turn off a virtual drive. 
    Any ideas?

    I think I have this solved. I turned off File Sharing on both computers, rebooted, and turned file sharing back on.  Now Hubby's Mac can open My Mac's files.
