Opening an Excel file takes over a minute

Anyone else notice that it takes forever to open an Excel file? I know Numbers has to import it, but it takes over a minute on a Mac Pro?
I really don't want to install Excel on my machine.

Bryan,
How large is the file? If you will be frequently opening and working with large Excel files, you may as well accept that you need Office or NeoOffice or OpenOffice on your Mac. Many of us came to Numbers to escape the grip of MS, but you have to do what makes the most sense. Remember that you can still use Numbers for non-collaborative work.

When I try to open a file with TextEdit, I get the spinning beachball and the file takes almost a minute to open.

When I try to open a file with TextEdit, I get the spinning beachball and the file takes almost a minute to open. When I just start TextEdit everything is fine. Also when I log on with another account TextEdit works like a charm, even when opening an existing file.
What I have done so far:
checked permissions in Disk Utility
validated all fonts
deleted all canon printer drivers
deleted all preferences
Nothing has helped. Mail shows the same behavior as TextEdit. What else can I do? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I was still typing my first post while you had already responded.
Maybe I am taking your last post the wrong way but reread your post. If I am taking it the wrong way - please accept my apology in advance.

Where do you state that you need to email the files to someone else?
Where do you state that you need to edit them?
This was my response ....
You can't edit any of these files without a compatible iPad app like Documents to Go (Excel, Word) or Pages (Word files).
You can open and view the files as mail attachments but you will not be able to edit them. Explain exactly what you are doing and maybe you can get meaningful instructions.
Basically I said the same thing as Julian and I thought that maybe if you explained EXACTLY what you were trying to do, it would be helpful.
Sorry for not being a mind reader. Your second post ...
I thought I had already explained, I get excel spreadsheets emailed to me I need to open them, read them, edit them and send them on to another person,
That is not what you asked the first time around.

IWeb takes over 10 minutes to load

When I try to load iWeb it take over 10 minutes to load. Anyone else have this problem? Can I stop it from loading iPhoto along side >?

Backup and launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed to rebuild the library. Select the last three options.
Click to view full size
Launch iWeb and see if you can add photos from iPhoto now. What iWeb uses to see the photos in iPhoto is the AlbumData.xml file that is created in the iPhoto Library package. If the above doesn't work try the following:
1 - close iPhoto.
2 - go to your Pictures folder, select your library package and open it as shown in this screenshot:
Click to view full size
3 - locate the AlbumData.xml and AlbumData2.xml file and move them to the desktop.
4 - launch iPhoto which will recreate those files.
5 - launch iWeb and try again.
A last suggestion is to reapply the iLife Media Browser Update and the iLife Support 9.0.3 update.

After upgrade to 10.9.1 office for mac 2011 will not open most excel files.

After upgrade to 10.9.1 office for mac will not open most excel files. The files will open in open office. I have tried re-saving as excel file, no joy.

Follow these instructions to uninstall MacKeeper. They have been tested with the most recent version of MacKeeper (v 2.8). Earlier versions than the one released in 2012 require more extensive work to uninstall all its components.
The effects of having actually used MacKeeper to do anything are a completely different matter. The fastest way to take an exquisitely designed and painstakingly engineered Mac and make it run like a steaming pile of dung is to install and use such ill-conceived "cleaning" or "security" products. This is just one example of a broad category of time- and money-wasters capable of causing damage that can only be rectified by reinstalling OS X, restoring from a backup, or completely erasing your system and rebuilding it from the ground up. Never install such junk on a Mac.
If you used MacKeeper to encrypt any files or folders, use MacKeeper to un-encrypt them first.
Quit the MacKeeper app if it is running.
Open your Applications folder: Using the Finder's Go menu, select Applications.
Drag the MacKeeper icon from your Applications folder (not the Dock) to the Trash.
You will be asked to authenticate (twice):
You do not need to provide a reason for uninstalling it:
Just click the Uninstall MacKeeper button. You will be asked to authenticate again.
After it uninstalls you may empty the Trash and restart your Mac. All that will remain is an inert log file that does nothing but occupy space on your hard disk.

Intermittent Error 41106 Error when trying to open an Excel file.

I am having an intermittent problem while opening an Excel file. The problem only occurs occasionally during execution of my program. My program has a cluster of buttons each button opens a sub VI that is part of a calibration process. The first VI generates an EXCEL filename that is used to save all calibration data. A template is opened, data is placed in this template, and then it is saved under the generated filename. Most of the time this seems to work fine, but every once in a while I receive a -41106 error indicating that Microsoft EXCEL did not open. As far as I can tell when I run each sub VI independently they work fine and no errors are generated. Does anyone know why this might be happening? I would appreciate any help.
Thanks

What version of LabVIEW and the Report Generation Toolkit are you using? I remember adding some code in the 1.1 version of the toolkit to attempt to avoid some Microsoft Excel latencies with opening/closing the application repeatedly, but it was by no means fool proof, since Excel sometimes takes its sweet time leaving memory when the application exits. Without knowing any more specifics, my best suggestion is for you to add a small delay between successive operations regarding opening/closing Excel and see if that helps. Also, if you could post a simple VI that demonstrates the behavior, that would be extra helpful.
Oh yeah, and another suggestion would be to open one report reference at the beginning of your program, and use this reference through the whole thing...I understand that this might not be possible, though, if you're opening different worksheets throughout the course of your application running.
Good luck,

P.S. - For those of you reading this wondering why I would automatically assume MegaMan is using the Report Generation Toolkit, he cites error -41106, which is an error specific to this toolkit.

Office 2013 can't open word, excel files from the network after upgrade to 8.1

Hello,
Recently, I upgraded all PCs from WIN 8 to Win 8.1. After the upgrade I noticed that I can't open any word documents and excel files. Before the upgraded I have no problem opened any files. All PCs have over 500GB free space on hard drive. Other PCs that
run Win 7 have no problem open them only the one with Win 8.1. This is what I got:
I right click--> property and there is no unblocked. All files resided on the network server.
Please help.
Jimmy

Hi Jimmy,
Did you get any error message when you try to open an Excel file/Word document?
If so, you can post the error message and event log here.Also ,if you had antivirus software installed, try to disable them to test this issue.
In addition, what happens if you add the network server location as a trusted location?

Opening an Excel file configures MSO Pro 2007

Using Win7 & MSO Pro 2007.
When I try to open an Excel file two unusual things happen after the splash window opens
1> A message box opens and says stdole32.tlb. When dismissed by clicking
[OK]...
2> A window opens and starts to configure MSO Pro 2007 which takes 20-40 seconds to complete
Taking a clue from KB 2528748 ..
3> I looked in the registry at: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Excel\Options and
found no NoReReg Key, so
4> I executed , in the RUN BOX..
reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Excel\Options /v NoReReg /t REG_DWORD /d 1
The registry now contains the appropriate noReReg key BUT the the behavior remains unchanged.
Is this likely due to the unclear message about stdole32.tlb at
1>?
Could some one help me unravel and fix this nuisance problem?
Thanx
Arvin

Hi,
Please try the following method and check if it is helpful:
Right Click the Excel>Properties>Compatibility>Choose Run this program in compatibility mode and Run this program as administrator
Copy/paste a new stdole32.tlb from installation copy or other pc

Finder does not open when a file passes over (mac os X 10.8.3)

Just installed mac os 10.8.3 mountain lion. As such, it seems with this OS X version the "finder" does not open when a file passes over (in order to move it from desktop).
The screen dims a little and nothing else happens.
How can I recover the "finder" functionality that apparently doesn not exist anymore?
Is it something wrong that I am doing?

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

JDeveloper 11.1.1.7 takes over 45 minutes to start

Hi,
I have windows 7 64 bit with 64 bit JDK 1.7. My jDeveloper 11.1.1.7 takes over 45 minutes to start, even the previous versions took similar long time. I have McAfee running on my system and have 8 GB RAM and more than 100 GB HDD on my C drive. I tried playing with the tuning parameters as mentioned in few blogs, but nothing seems to help.
Please help.

Indeed, McAfee caches what it has previously scanned. I've had different versions of McAfee where this has been, and hasen't been a problem.
It's pretty easy to tell on Windows if McAfee is the culprit. Open the Task Manager and watch is McAfee active (consuming CPU) during the whole process of opening JDev.
If so you're going to have to work with your IT department to get exemptions for JDev put in place if it is.

Microsoft Forms and Microsoft Visual Basic while opening the Excel file

Hello,
I have issues with 2010 64 bit Office Pro Plus Excel. Whenever I open an Excel file (97-2003 worksheet) which has macros then I get below 2 errors in sequence.
Please note that all macro settings are enabled and below are my system configs.
Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit,
MS Office Pro Plus 2010 64 bit with SP2.
Googled all and tried but in vein and also note that I dont have any .exd files under ../forms to delete. Please help.
Please note that for others with same system config/office versions and same 97-2003 worksheet it works so issues is only in my system.
First Error
Microsoft Forms
Could not load an object because it is not available on this machine.
Second Error
Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications
Compile error in hidden module: MainUtilities2.
This error commonly occurs when code is incompatible with the version, platform, or architecture of this application. Click "Help" for information on how to correct this error.
Thanks.

Your macro's will not run in a Office 64 environment only in a 32bit environment. The 64bit environment has a whole different setup and macro's created in an earlier 32 bit environment will stop working.
So if you want to use them in a 64 Office environment you have to rewrite the macro's.

Hi, i'm new using numbers, and when I try to open a excel file don't let me do it, instead appears a box whit a error and close app, any help?

Hi, i'm new using numbers, and when I try to open a excel file don't let me do it, instead appears a box whit a error and close app, any help?

What does the error say?
A couple of thoughts: the file is corrupted or is password-protected. Corruption is more likely to cause Numbers to crash & Numbers cannot open password-protected Excel files. Try using one of the free Office clones & see what happens.

SSRS 2008 R2 is extremely slow. The query runs in less than a second in the dataset designer but if you try to view the report it takes over 10 minutes. I have read this is a bug in SSRS 2008 R2. We installed the most recent patches and service packs.

SSRS 2008 R2 is extremely slow. The query runs in less than a second in the dataset designer but if you try to view the report it takes over 10 minutes. I have read this is a bug in SSRS 2008 R2. We installed the most recent patches and
service packs. Nothing we've done so far has fixed it and I see that I'm not the only person with this problem. However I don't see any answers either.

Hi Kim Sharp,
According to your description that when you view the report it is extremely slow in SSRS 2008 R2 but it is very fast when execute the query in dataset designer, right?
I have tested on my local environment and can‘t reproduce the issue. Obviously, it is the performance issue, rendering performance can be affected by a combination of factors that include hardware, number of concurrent users accessing reports, the amount
of data in a report, design of the report, and output format. If you have parameters in your report which contains many values in the list, the bad performance as you mentioned is an known issue on 2008 R2 and already have the hotfix:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2276203
Any issue after applying the update, I recommend you that submit a feedback at https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/
If you don’t have, you can do some action to improve the performance when designing the report. Because how you create and update reports affects how fast the report renders.
Actually, the Report Server ExecutionLog2 view contains reports performance data. You could make use of below query to see where the report processing time is being spent:
After you determine whether the delay time is in data retrieval, report processing, or report rendering:
use ReportServer
SELECT TOP 10 ReportPath,parameters,
TimeDataRetrieval + TimeProcessing + TimeRendering as [total time],
TimeDataRetrieval, TimeProcessing, TimeRendering,
ByteCount, [RowCount],Source, AdditionalInfo
FROM ExecutionLog2
ORDER BY Timestart DESC
Use below methods to help troubleshoot issues according to the above query result :
Troubleshooting Reports: Report Performance
Besides this, you could also follow these articles for more information about this issue:

Opening an excel file from a button. square brackets in filename

Internet explorer 6. Apex 3.1
When I open an excel file (via a button) , it has the filename as follows:
production_report[1].csv
The prompt to save or open has the name as production_report.csv
This prevents people saving the opened file as square brackets are not allowed in the file name.
Is this an apex issue (ie a problem with the way I specify the filename) or a browser issue, and is there a solution?
I am passing the filename in to my excel download page using the items/values settings.
eg
ITEM P12_FILENAME
ITEM VALUE production_report.csv

Yes, It works on firefox. It is only an issue with Internet Explorer.
However our web based application has to use IE and therefore when it calls apex it is in an IE browser.
I am really just producing a csv file, and opening it in excel. If this was fixed (or customisable in some way in IE that would help)

How to stop prompt while opening an excel file in new window

hi all
i made one table in jsf and i am having two icons corresponding to each row one for open and one for save. on the click of open i am calling web services getting the excel file and opening it but it is happening only . when i choose to open option from the prompt which comes when i click on the link. how to remove that prompt so that on click of the open it should directly open the excel file. plzzzzzzzzz hepl

in the url of the new page that you are opening add --> &RetainAM=Y at the end.
Following points should be useful :
Suppose ,you have to open a new window from your page by clicking on a link or a button and after opening, when you click on any button in the parent page, if you are getting a session out error… try the following solutions:
1.     Add retainAM=Y in the destination URI of the button or link
2.     If you have the back button handling in your code, ensure that…
if (!pageContext.isBackNavigationFired(true)) is written instead of
if (!pageContext.isBackNavigationFired(false))
3.     Also ensure that the trasaction name is exactly same in both startTransactionUnit and end TransactionUnit
TransactionUnitHelper.startTransactionUnit(pageContext, "sameName");
TransactionUnitHelper.endTransactionUnit(pageContext, " sameName ");

Opening an Excel file takes over a minute
