OS 10.8 will not open my word docs, what is the solution?
I installed OS 10.8 after upgrading the ram .System works quicker but it will not allow me to open older Word docs. Is there an equivalent in the enclosed software or what external software will work ?Thanks

The inputs by erict43 and Paul_31 are absolutely correct. Happened to me when I upgraded to Lion. Had Office 2004. Didn't work. Upgrade to Office 2011 and everything will be fine. You can download Office for students at a reasonable price. All your old Office files will be there and when opened and saved again will upgrade themselves to Office 11.
Microsoft and Apple have to keep us buying somehow....
Good luck,
Virg

Maverick will not open my word docs
i get a promt to purchase iWork08 when I try to open a word document. Seriously?
yeah, probably. darn those prompts. Luckily there is a workaround: see if you can find the document, do a "get into" on it, either right-click, or highlighting it, then pressing cloverleaf+I, then under the "open with" box, choose something else to open it with. If it's a basic document, TextEdit will work okay, but you may want to grab a copy of OpenOffice and use that for now. iWork, if you have the current version, can be upgraded no charge. However, if you have iWork 6 or 7 (iWork 6 was released in 2006, iWork 8 was released in 2007), then it'll probably prompt you to buy iWork 8 or 9+. You don't have to use it to open a word document, though. I don't know what version of iWork you have. I do know you used to get it included when you bought a Macintosh computer, but those days are gone. now it's $20 per application. go to apple.com/support, see what version of iWork you do have and if there is a "free" update for it. otherwise, the ball's in your court

Started a Itunes software update this morning which didn't work. Now Itunes will not open at all. I get the following message."The program can't state becasue MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer."
There are a couple of options that I know of to fix the issue.
One is listed in this thread - https://discussions.apple.com/message/24606478#24606478 - and involves uninstalling iTunes and related components and then re-installing iTunes. You will need to read the instructions in the thread to see the correct uninstall order.
Second option is use System Restore to set your system back to a date prior to the iTunes update. I did this before finding the thread mentioned above.
Not sure exactly what the problem is but I know, after a search, that MSVCR80.dll was indeed already installed on my computer.

I have been using Elements 12 without a problem for 9 months. Now when I try to open the program, I get an error message "Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 quit unexpectedly" and it will not open at all. What can I do to open the program?
Thank you for responding. Nothing actually worked! After reading the posts online, I called Apple. They indicated they have seen problems with some software after their upgrades. The technician was able to fix the problem on my computer remotely, but I have no clue what he did! But, it was definitely related to their recent upgrade to my computer.

After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading. I have no special software like numbers or anything else installed on either device. Just using the default viewer provided by apple for viewing email.
The attachment is an .xls excel 97-2003 spreadsheet. I viewed the file in the email and did not edit it with any software. I can forward the file to anyone that is may want to check it out to see if they can help me. I was wondering if there was some way of forcing another ios6 install on my phone and maybe that would solve it.
Is there anyone out there that is viewing .xls files in email using ios6 w/o any other software installed like numbers or any other add ons? I am not upgrading my ipad from ios5 to ios6 so I can still continue to view the emails on my ipad. Is there an email viewer .xls plug-in that will be availablle in the next ios6 update? -
New links will not open in a tab, only in the main window
with firefox 21, links will not open a new tab, only in the main window. I have set the option for tab opening, but it still will not work
Did you installed ASK toolbar?
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
<b> To Enable SafeMode </b>
*You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
*''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

Ive recently updated my mac to OS X 10.10 and now my CS5 illustrator and photoshop will not open... I uploaded the most recent Java and they still won't open. Please help
Mac,
Nothing shows up here?

With CS5 you must have registered, hopefully under your present Adobe ID.
I am afraid the chat and phone support are off until the beginning of January.

My itunes will not open at all - I repeatedly get the message"itunes library is corrupted...not installed correctly...please reinstall itunes" I have tried opening all my itunes folders but nothing will even open.
Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
Can you launch your iTunes now? -
I recently had my account expire, and need to utilize the trial to finish a project. Even though my account says 'free trial' the applications will not open. How do I get the APP to recognize that I'm in trial and not expired?
I had a year long CC membership that expired at the beginning of the October.
After realizing that, I attempted to start a free trial of photoshop to work on a project. My Adobe account states that i'm on a trial, but my (Mac) dashboard CC app won't allow me to start the program. I have reinstalled both Creative Cloud and Photoshop CC but still get this message. -
I'm not a "Cloud" member. I just upgraded to Lightroom 6 from Lightroom 5. All was working well yesterday. Today Lightroom will not open (Windows 7). I see the logo photo over my Lightroom platform but nothing loads and I see "Lightroom not responding." I checked the catalogs and see that lrcat-Journal and lrcat-Lock have been created every time I try to open. I have a backup from the first day I upgraded, but Lightroom doesn't want to access it. Should I reinstall?
Well, is the catalogue (and the folder it is in) writable? Have you actually checked the permissions? Lightroom won't be spitting out the error just to tick you off, and - computer wizard or not - this sounds very much like something you'll have to fix at the OS level: it's probably nothing to do with Lightroom or those funny lads at Adobe.

A file I worked on yesterday now will not open. It says it needs the newest version. I am on 4.3 which I upgraded just the other day. OS is 10.9.4 Everything was fine yesterday.
You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac and are alternately opening the wrong one.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
Pages '09 can not open Pages 5, iOS 7 Pages, Pages for iCloud beta or iCloud files.
Pages 5 only runs on Mavericks and can not open Pages '08 or earlier files at all and alters/damages Pages '09 files, which once saved can not be opened by anything other than Pages 5.
Pages 5 files are in an odd compressed bundle, impossible to parse, which won't transfer via non-Apple servers. DropBox may have patched theirs, I haven't checked lately.
All Pages files, no matter what version or compatibility, have the same file extension: .pages.
Apple has removed over 110 features from Pages and many of the rest are buggy. They have confused their users and apparently themselves with the installations, upgrades and cross-transfers of files. Effectively Pages 5 files are only compatible with themselves in a very narrow range of hardware and software.

Hii,, i will not open my iCloud.its showing me:the maximum numbers of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone,what should I do
Yes, you can do that. Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of page and tap Delete (if it's currently logged into some other account). Then sign in using you ID. Somehow, what you were doing before ended up trying to create a new account/ID. That you can't do more than five times.

I just installed Lightroom 5. It will not open. I have clicked on the desktop icon as well as the start menu button with no results. What am I missing?
I had the same problem, and I believe it is caused by having the Creative Cloud application doing the updating of LR. I "fixed" the problem by:
1. Uninstall Lightroom
2. Download the stand-alone LR 5.6 installer from Product updates
3. Install LR 5.6 using the stand-alone installer, instead of using the Creative Cloud application. -
My friend has an apple iphone 4s, He could not make the ID on icloud, becase at the end of ID creation procedure, the message displayed, " the free icloud ID is not eligible for this device" what is the solution, thanx
Your friend will have to create his iCloud account on a different iOS device. His device has already created the maximum number of iCloud accounts and cannot create another one.
