Pages causing problems with Word.

I have Office 2004 and have used Word, Excel and Power Point for years.(with previous PCs as well as my MacBook) I also have IWorks 09.
I was working on a project exchanging material with several people on a team and found that my old Word would not open new Word documents with the suffux "doc.x" or any other iterations. I found after experimenting that Pages '09 could open these documents but now I am having problems with all of the Office programs. They freeze and grey out options so I can't even print them or save them. I assume that there is some cross interference but these are not documents that I have opened in Pages but previous Word documents (and Excel and Power Point) that I have edited in their respective programs and then try to save and/or print.
Anyone have similar experiences? I could reinstall the Microsoft programs or buy new but rather not if there is a fix.

I am not an Office user, so I cannot give an expert piece of advice.
Essentially, Office 2008 was worse than both 2004 and 2011, so I do not see the reason for an intermediate upgrade, already 4 years and half old (was released late 2007). As 2004 is not usable in Lion, and you will probably upgrade to Lion sooner or later, combined with what was said above, if you want to upgrade you Office 2004, the only rational option is 2011.
The other alternatives are LibreOffice or OpenOffice and iWork, with the notes already sent earlier today.
As about ‘unfreezing’. In my limited tests, Office 2004 works fine on PPC machines, is a lot worse on intel machines, even with latest updates (I assume you installed all the Officd 2004 updates, there were many, perhaps the last one includes all the other previous ones). There is also a docx to doc converter, released just for 2004 users:
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/24947/office-open-xml-file-format-converter
If you are in Snow Leopard, Office 2004 should work reasonably well, cannot figure out why it may freeze. Is it updated? There is an Office updater, if not wrong, within Office folder, run it.

Cfcontent causes problems with Word 2007

Hi,
My purpose is to export html contents into MS Word. The html contents may contain images.
I am using Coldfusion 8 and the simplified testing code I used is like the following:
<cfcontent type="application/msword">
<cfheader name="content-Disposition" value="attachment;filename=filename.doc">
<img src="http://localhost:8501/images/theCompanyLogo.JPG" height="36" width="185" border="0" />
This works perfectly for any Word versions (such as 2003) except Word 2007. When using Word 2007 the
image area shows error some thing like "the memory is not enough ..." and system is stuck until you
close all the IE windows with the Windows task Manager to recover every thing.
I did try to use "filename=filename.docx" instead of "filename=filename.doc" but did not help.
Is there any way to make this work or this is a limitation of the Coldfusion 8 (ie. the cfcontent is not
designed for Word 2007)? If so will the version 9 solve this problem?

Some of these problems *may* be due to the way Office 2007 handles the contents of files. In previous versions of Excel would open a CSV or HTML file that was streamed to the browser using an Excel MIME type. In Excel 2007 the program checks the content of the file to see if it matches the file extension, so MIME type 'application/vnd.ms-excel' or .xls files are expected to contain binary content, not CSV or HTML text.

Firefox causing problems with web pages and Yahoo

Firefox has been causing problems with:
Yahoo: no matter how many times I reset the font size, it is always much bigger. Also the "From" box (where my name and email address appear) has shrunk;
This does not happen in Chrome
A particular website has suddenly stopped working: http://explore.org/#!/live-cams/player/kitten-rescue-cam
Instead of seeing what is going on on the live cam, all I get is a green screen.
This does not happen in Chrome.
I have followed all the instructions:
- Reset Firefox
- Disabled and re-enabled add-ons
And yet this has solved nothing. Iam now having to run both Firefox and Chrome at the same time. This is highly frustrating. I like Firefox better than Chrome but problems are mounting up and I do need help.
Has any one got some idea what is going on?
Many thanks...
Anna

Hi
Thank you for your input. I did try Font size, reset, zoom... the lot and nopes it did nothing. As I said the problem is in Firefox, not in Chrome.
I also checked the plug-ins issue and it seems they are in order and up to date.
Now this morning, the website has been working again in Firefox (was working ok in Chrome).
Overall Firefox's performance with some websites is poor. My health report confirms the number of times it crushes (many times a day, which is highly frustrating). I am keen to keep Firefox as it is so mcuh nicer in many ways than Chrome but it's performance is an issue for me... sigh...

Problem with Word 2013 through VPN

Hello,
From several weeks my company has a problem
with Word 2013 when laptop is connected to the network
via VPN.
Symptoms:
- Word 2013 is opening very slow (even
opening a blank card)
- there are no matter if I try to open blank page or network files
- All other Office 2013 components are working fine (Excel, Powerpoint etc).
- When I disconnect from a VPN, Word is opening properly.
It is not a problem with VPN because:
- Word is opening locally (not network files)
- before we had Word 2010 and it was working smoothly
Does anyone know a similar case
and could help solve this problem?
Regards,
Pawel

Hi,
"- before we had Word 2010 and it was working smoothly" -
Word 2013 might deal with documents in different ways.
Since Word will open properly when you disconnect from a VPN, you might want to start by analyzing the network traffic, VPN connections.
Please try to check the option "Copy remotely stored files onto your computer and update the remote file when saving" in
FILE>Options>Advanced>Save section, and then verify result.
The other thing to check is add-ins. I'd suggest you to start Word in safe mode and see if issue persists:
Press Win + R and type "winword /safe" in the blank box, then press Enter.
Thanks,

I have two Iphones with different email addresses sharing one Apple ID. Will that cause problems with using messaging and FaceTime?

I have two Iphones 5 with different email addresses sharing one Apple ID account.Both are using IOS 8.
I would like to set up a new Apple Id for one of the phones and remove it from the old account.
If I do that, can I move all of the purchased apps and songs to the new Apple account?
Also, will sharing one Apple ID account with two devices cause problems with using messaging and FaceTime?

Sharing an iCloud account between two devices can be done without causing issues with iMessage and FaceTime, just go into Settings for each of these functions and designate separate points of contact (i.e. phone number only, or phone number and unique email address). While that works, you'll then face the problem where a phone call to one iPhone will ring both if on the same Wi-Fi network -- but again, that can be avoided by changing each phone's settings.
Rather than do all that, don't fight it -- use separate IDs for iCloud. You can still use a common ID for iTunes purchases (the ID for purchases and iCloud do not have to be the same) or you can use Family Sharing to share purchases from a primary Apple account.

Java 6 you can't as Apple maintains it, and Java 7 you could if you uninstall it and Oracle provides the earlier version which they likely won't his last update fixed 37 remote exploits.
Java broken some software here and there, all you'll have to do is wait for a update from the other parties.

If I install the update to Adobe Reader 10, will that cause problems with Acrobat Pro 9?

Firefox (version 15.0.1) is telling me I need to install an update to Adobe Acrobat 9.4 in order to view pdf files in my browser. I use Acrobat Pro 9. The update is actually Adobe Reader 10, and I am wondering if I install this, will it cause problems with my version of Acrobat Pro?
Because I am not sure if this is so, I have temporarily disabled the plug-in and now pdf files download automatically rather than display in my browser. I would prefer they open in my browser but do not want to upgrade to Acrobat X.
My OS is Windows Vista. I did not include the "troubleshooting information" file because I'm not sure what specific info is being requested.
Thanks for any help.

Hi WMdotcom
did you try to view pdf with your acrobat pro 9 ?

Reduce folders in Windows 7 for pictures without causeing problems with PSE11

I want to simplify my Windows 7 folders and reduce the number of the folders. Can you please advise me on the best way to do this so as not to cause problems with PSE11 finding the pictures? Thank you.

The only way to move files or folders/subfolders without causing problems, that is not creating 'missing files' is to do this from within the Organizer, not the OS (Win/Mac).
You can create folders and move pictures from the Organizer.
Note that if you are moving the files of several subfolders into a single one, you run the risk of wanting to move files with the same filename into the same folder ; your OS won't allow that. So the Organizer will rename pictures if needed.
If you want to do such a big reorganizing task, absolutely do a full backup before. There is no advantage for such a reorganizing from an Organizer point of view, but if you need it for some reason, it has to be done from within the organizer.

I need to download dell drivers to a jumpdrive connected to my iMac. Will this cause problems with my Mac?

I need to download dell drivers to a jumpdrive connected to my iMac. Will this cause problems with my Mac?

Thanks. These drivers are for the audio, etc. for a dell laptop I purchased used. ( Needed something cheap for a training video that would only run on Windows. Tried Emedia player but picture was too fuzzy.) Dell support said I should contact Apple support for instructions on how to get the drivers onto the jumpdrive. Any tips on doing that?

My host name changes every few days, since Xmas adding a macbook its changed 6 times. Do I need to stop this? Does it cause problems with sharing between the iMac and macbook?

my host name changes every few days, since Xmas adding a macbook its changed 6 times. Do I need to stop this? Does it cause problems with sharing between the iMac and macbook?

There are several possible causes for this problem.
1. Two (or more) computers on the local network have the same Bonjour name, such as "X's-MacBook-Pro.local".
2. You have two simultaneous connections to the same local network: probably Ethernet and Wi-Fi. If applicable, disconnect the Ethernet cable or turn off Wi-Fi.
3. A Mac wakes from sleep due to network traffic. This is due to a bug in OS X that may only affect some models.
4. A device that gets its network address from the router wakes from sleep, and the address it was using before has been assigned to another device.
5. A third-party wireless router has incompatible settings or firmware. In that case, refer to the manufacturer or ISP for support. Restarting the router may help, temporarily.
6. See also this support article.
Rename the computer in the Sharing preference pane.

WE + CE cause problem with accented characters

While creating a CFF font which contains the WE as well as the CE character set, it causes problems with most of Adobe programs (Photoshop 7, Illustrator 10, Photoshop Elements 2.0) under Mac OS X. Problem: the accented characters get replaced by Helvetica (Photoshop) or Myriad (Illustrator). Only InDesign treats it right.
I tested under Mac OS X 10.2 as well as 10.3; no difference. I tested on 'old machines', but fresh machines as well (machines which didn't have the fonts installed before); no difference. All the same problem.
Deleting the CE characters solves the problem, but yeah, I want to create a CFF font which contains both character sets.
Generating the font in FontLab or FDK doesn't make any difference.
So, what's the solution? Sounds like a mystery.
Bas

Two comments:
OpenType/CFF fonts should work to some degree on versions of Mac OS from 8.x on. "Some degree" means that pre-Mac OSX, you need ATM for them to work, and you only get the Roman char set. On Mac OSX, Unicode savvy apps will give you access to the entire charset, but at the moment only Adobe apps support any OpenType features.
About your problem with CE charset: this is a known problem, and is still a mystery. Adam Twardoch has reported the same problem and has supplied some test fonts. I have spent over a day looking over the fonts, and looking into old code, and can't find any problem in the font data. Investigating further is likely to be a several day effort, and will happen, but not soon.

GEARAspiWDM.sys causes problems with PlexTools.

The unsigned driver GEARAspiWDM.sys (to be precise: upper filter) that you installed on my system cause problems with my DVD recorders (Px-716A and PX-760A). First thing I notice is a longer responce time (delay). The big problem is that there are faults while trying to erase or burn DVD media (I mostly use rewritable disks). I love iTunes, but just keep in mind why using upper filters and/or unsigned drivers is a very-very bad idea! The least you can do is to ask the user if he/she wants to install this driver.
I found my way to uninstall the driver manually. Later I found the uninstaller from Gear Software:
http://www.gearsoftware.com/cfknowledgebase/articledisplay.cfm?articleid=295
Now iTunes will alert me that it cannot burn disk on every startup. You know what? I don't care about this future! So don't bother me every startup!

We know about the large file support issue (though this given version of it looks new to me) and work on it.
There is no intent to set __GNUC__ for us, nor we recommend users to define __GNUC__ with our compiler.
However we do have (another) solution for this issue and it will be available in one of the upcoming Sun Studio eXpress releases.
regards,
__Fedor.
