Opening a Pages document in Pages format results in a zip file

Trying to print a Pages document from my iPad to a non-Airprint printer. Want use HP's ePrint app. Bring up "open in another app" -- and then I am asked to chose a format. Chose Pages. Then asked for an app. Chose ePrint. ePrint locates my non-Airprint printer, but cannot print. Reason: the Pages document has tuned into a zip file (xxxxxx.pages.zip). Why?? If I chose Word format, the Pages document becomes a docx file, and it CAN be printed by ePrint. I do not understand what is happening here. I also get a zip file if I try to use Dropbox.

Well, to your curiosity once more, read that link I sent you again - this part in particular:
While the Finder did not treat this file as a package (that is, no Show Package Contents command showed up in the document’s contextual menu), it was indeed a package. To pry it open, you could use a utility such as Pacifist. Inside, you’d find several items, most notably an index.xml file which contained the primary content you created.

In a hurry, I opened an email that said "order was shipped from "ammazon". I downloaded the order document and it ended up being a zip file. I then realized what it was, and did not actually open the file. This was on my Iphone 5. What should I do now!?

Delete the email. The zip file will have no effect on your iPhone.

Stop Firefox from reverting back to Google Search Results when opening a page from results list

When I click on one of the results from a Google search, I have it open the page in a new window. The page opens in the new window just fine, but instead of letting me view the page in the new window, Firefox takes me back to the Google Search results page. I am able to click on the new window and view the page that I chose, but it gets old being sent back to the search results each time I click on one of them and attempt to view it.
This happens on my work PC, home laptop, and my desktop at home as well. I have different versions running on each machine, and home laptop has the latest version of Firefox. I have searched the web and cannot find anyone having this same problem, much less a resolution, so I will ask here.
I hope this makes sense, if more info is needed please let me know.
Thanks to anyone that can help.

One reason for this can be if the new window contains Flash media, but Flash hasn't been used for several minutes, the Adobe protected mode feature changes the order of the windows. This is a bug that Adobe has yet to fix. This thread describes the problem in more details and lists the known workarounds: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/955659 Opening New Windows and Shockwave Flash].
If you rule out the Flash issue, could you test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?

Both Firebox and IE open home page instead of saved http html files on HDD

This didn't happen before, only in the last 3 days. Didn't install anything on PC other than Itunes and possibly - automatic updates on Win 7.
The ONLY way to open saved html file is by right-click: Open With -> Choose Default Program -> Firefox.
It doesn't open the file on double click, or on right click: Open With -> Firefox, or right click: Open With -> Choose Default Program -> IE, in all 3 cases it goes to homepage.
There was adware or malware Rollup File Opener that I uninstalled but still see some remains in Troubleshooter.

hello almot09, apparently you still have remnants of this adware in ''firefox > addons > extensions''.
please run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] which are specialised in removing browser hijackers.

Open specific PDF document in Windows 8.1 Reader Application without File Associating

I have a user case where i need to be able to open one spesific PDF document without changing "File Associating" from Adobe Reader. Is there a good way to open the reader app and a document from CMD or simular? I know I manual can use "Open
With" but this is not a option because I need to do this in one operation from a shortcut on the start screen.

Hi,
For command option, you may find adobe reader application path,
just like that:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader>AcroRd32.exe
"D:\example.pdf"

On Windows Platform, encounters error when trying to open an Indesign document created from MAC

Hi all,
On Windows Platform, encounters error when trying to open an Indesign document in INDD format created from Mac. Error received "Either the file does not exist, you do not have permission, or the file may be in use by other application". I am currently using Adobe Indesign CC 9.2 Trial version.
Kindly advise how can i open this document on windows platform and allows me to edit the document.
Thanks!
With Rgds,
Fiona Choy

Normally there is no problem to open any INDD opening on Windows, when created on the Mac.
But Mac user are often not aware on the naming limitations. A file name must not contain /, \, |, :
It should not contain any extended character, it is not a primary problem but will be, if something links to that file, so avoid also: ÄÖÜäöüß+&
You can use all other non A-Z a-z, 0-9 and - and _
I personally would also recommend to avoid spaces.
This is valid for the INDD file itself but also for all linked content.

Cannot open ZIP files in mail

Anyone else having trouble opening zip files in mail. It does not work on iPhone either - but that was not an issue since very rarely does one want to open a large document.
Any solutions out there ?

Zips and other archived/compressed files won't work as expected on an iPad since you can't just preview/view the contents directly from the attachment currently like you can with quicktime-compatible or other common media formats. Basically you would need to be able to save the zip file to the finder and extract it, and view the contents from there. But since the iPad doesn't have anything like a user-accessible Finder, it's tricky to implement.
There may be third-party apps that deal with this eventually (or maybe even something from the upcoming 4.0 software, who knows), but it would probably be easier to just have people send you attachments that aren't zipped up for now.

Filename.xls is in a different format than specified by the file extension

When I create Dimensions and then try to maintain dimension members using the administration client, I receive the following notification from Excel 2007. The file you are trying to open, filename.xls, is in a different format that specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now? Yes or No.
I click yes and the file opens correctly in Excel. If I click No, I get an "Unspecified error" dialog box from BPC. I suspect this is a security feature in Excel 2007. Has anyone else run across this and if so, know of a good way to disable this message?

After upgrading to Excel 2007, you may get the following error when you try to open an excel document.
The file you are trying to open .xlsx is in a different format than specified by the file extension. verify the file is not corrupted and is from trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?
This errors particularly occurs when youu2019re trying to open an XLS file (Excel 2000-2003) with Excel 2007.
The easiest way to solve this problem, is to insert the following registry key. This will suppress the notification:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Excel\Security]
u201CExtensionHardeningu201D=dword:00000000
The step-by-step instructions are as follows:
1.Click Start, click Run, type regedit.exe and press ENTER. This will open your Registry
2.Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\OFFICE\12.0\EXCEL\SECURITY
3.Right click in the right window and choose New -> DWORD
4.In the Name field, type u201CExtensionHardeningu201C (without the quotes)
5.Verify that the data has the value u201C0u2033
I advice the steps above to solve the problem, despite the fact that it is quick and dirty.

The document i download from OTN is a 29k-zip file,why?

I try to download the OWB,but the document i downloaded from OTN was 29k-zip file. I have registed ,and I have try many times ,why?

No. You would require a PC in order to run the executable which is an installer, not a disc image or an archive.

The way SharePoint open office documents will differ if the user try to open them from the document library directly, or if users try to open the document from the search result page.

I have a document library where I have uploaded an excel sheet to it. Now If I click on the excel sheet directly from the document library page , I will get the following error ““The webpage cannot be displayed””. While if I do a search and I open the excel
sheet from the search result page , it will open the excel sheet using the excel services inside the browser !!.
So can anyone advice on this ?
Also if I have a PowerPoint document , and I try to open it from the document library I will get the following error “The webpage cannot be displayed” , and the URL will be prefix with the following “ms-powerpoint:ofv|u|”. while if i do a search and i open
the PowerPoint from the search result page i will be prompted to either open or save the document ? So why SharePoint is reacting totally different when trying to open document library items from the document library Or from the search result page?

Hi,
The behavior in the document library could be probably because of the Documents handling setting. Please try setting it to default behavior (Open in browser) as i hear from you that the default behavior is to open from browser.
Thanks, Suneetha
Currently I have set the following;-
1. On the library advance setting :- I define “Open in the client application”
2. On the web application setting:- I define stricked for Browser File Handling
And I have noted if I delete the browser cache and I access the document , then I will be prompted with the download dialog. but if I re-click on the same document I will be redirected to the
The webpage cannot be displayed
And the ms-powerpoint:ofv|u| will be added to the beginning of the URL. So could this be a caching problem ?

Pages is sending my documents in docx format, but windows unable to open them. They arrive blank or can only be read as a single line at a time. When view prior to sending the document is divided with black lines after each sentence.

Windows will only be able to open these if you have Word 2007+. Older versions of Word, for example Word 2003 would require a compatibility pack.
Perhaps you can try 'Saving As' a different file type instead?
