PC to Mac conversion, why aren't my word documents transferring?

I have loaded up all my documents, almost all made with microsoft office products for windows and put them on an external hard drive. All the files were visible then I tried to copy them over to mac. The files were no longer appearing in the window for my external hard drive when viewing on the mac. So I'm pretty sure they are still on the external hard drive, just not visible. What do I do to copy them over or convert if need be?

Why do all my word documents open when I open word

why do all my word documents open when I open word

You may have to compare user permissions and privileges in documents to see if there is a presence of odd permissions in the Get Info box available by single-clicking a document's ICON and see this area in each.
How was the application installed? Are you running an Admin account? Have you repaired disk permissions in Disk Utility, or any other routine steps to see what happens next?
There may even be a Console log of events that happen when you open and launch a document stream involving this Word phenomena, in Console utility, on or about the time these events occur. The logs can be amazingly complex, and vary in helpfulness. I use some of them to see what happens and when, or if there is a crash, some can point to hardware vs software sources of problems. Some resident experts in ASC are fairly good at knowing what they mean or how to decipher the system logs from there.
Not sure of the exact cause...
Good luck & happy computing!

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
First of all, check that you are looking for your USB drive in the correct place. To do it, first connect the USB drive. Then, open a Finder window (press the left icon of Dock) and choose your USB drive on the Finder sidebar, under "Devices". Finally, just copy the documents you need to the internal disk.
If you want to show the USB drive in Desktop, open Finder menu (on the menu bar) > Preferences > General, and tick "External drives"

HT1364 Why aren't my music files transferred to my itunes media folder anymore?

So I just replaced my HDD and installed iTunes. When I set up iTunes to put the files on my mirrored drives, the files wound up all over the place instead of my iTunes Media folder. Is this normal?

Milhouse,
Go to Edit > Preferences > Advanced, and make sure that "Copy files...." is checked, as shown below.

Why is my Microsoft Word document not working correctly with Pages

I have created a new CV (Resume) in Microsoft Word on my work computer, it is using the latest version of Office. When I attempted to open the document in Pages on my home Mac, the formatting was slightly incorrect, but the main issue is it is missing two pages! The exact same document when opened in Word has three pages but in Pages, it only has one! I have had nothing but problems with Pages since I bought it! Can someone please help me get Pages to work correctly with my documents that are created in Word! Than you.

Pages does not allow a single cell in a table to span more than a page and there may be other problems that you also have not told us about.
Redo your CV using the excellent Pages templates, Word's templates are Uuuugly!
Being text based, with good typographical layout, those Pages templates should translate accurately back and forth from Pages to Word.
Frankly CVs don't require anything fancy. You could do an excellent, well laid out and very attractive CV in TextEdit which is no slouch in the word processing department.
Peter
PS Start off by saving your Word CV to .rtf or .txt which will strip off most of the bad formatting. Then reopen it in Pages or drag in the snippets of text into a Pages CV template's placeholders to automatically format the text nicely.

Why can I open Word documents with Pages but can't open Pages documents with Pages? Oh, that's right, I have to PAY EVERY TIME I TURN AROUND

Sorry, this just upsets me.

Heaven knows what you are talking about.
I suppose you might, but probably don't, which is why you are huffing and puffing.
Probably this is about Pages '08 not opening the later Pages '09. Given that Pages '09 introduced many features that Pages '08 didn't have, it is not too surprising.
Remind me what it costs to buy Pages '09 from the M.A.S. to use on as many computers as you want.
Also remind me what it costs for Ms Word, or even lunch. I'm sure you have blown more on a whim than you ever will on something as useful as Pages.

Why won't my word document converted to PDF save?

When in word, I select the option to convert to PDF, the document is scanned and I'm prompted to save as PDF. All seems to work except it doesn't actually save! This was working previously until an update a few months ago. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

First, have you removed from Printer Utility the Adobe PDFPrinter 9.x fom the list then close Printer Utility.
Then open Acrobat or Adobe Reader and go to help menu and choose to repair or rplace. Choose to replace the PDFPrinter only.
(One thing that we can't seem to get Aodobe to fix is that (at least in X.4.11 and I've heard some folks using X.5.x talk about.
When you go to page setup in Acrobat you can not select any Printer what so ever.
Does not even pickup choices in the Print/Fax Control panel in system preferences.
However you can choose it in the Print menu.
IF you decided to install Reader, you may or may not be able to set printer in Page setup.
However, if you can set up in Reader's page setup. It will show up in Acrobat's.
Its an obvious bug Adobe refuses to admit or can't fix. I've heard some say they've heard the problem but never seen it.)
Next, open Word 2008 or 2004 (don't remove 2004 it has far more features than 2008)
create your Document.
Save a copy as DOC or DOCX document first.
Now go to Print menu and choose Acrobat PDFPrinter 9.x(x being the most current revision).
and choose Print. with the version 9.x the pdf will automatically be set to desktop and you have no choice where it save.
All versions previous to 9.0 a window would come up giving you a chance to choose the dsired location.
9.0 does not. THis is a super major bug, that only a rank amature would committ.
One thing Apple has preached fro day one; do not save any file you want to keep to the desktop.
The desktop is a Temporary file. and in event of a crash the desktop is rebuilt and the file may go missing.
Items such a Yahoo widgets get by, by using a special Database that tells where each widget is supposed to go, and and in event of crash simply recreates them.

Why do my Microsoft Word documents open as read-only

I am having trouble saving my Word documents as they are opening in read-only mode. I cannot find a setting to change the way my Word documents are opening.

Amy, are you reffering to the 'reading mode' in Word, which it uses when you open a Word document that was attached to a message?
There are instructions on [http://myitforum.com/myitforumwp/2013/06/10/disable-reading-mode-and-protected-view-in-word-2013/ how to disable that] although it's not in the scope of Thunderbird.
Hope this helps!

Why does firefox turn word documents into firefox documents??

wen i want to print a word document attached in an email I've received firefox won't open it and when i try to save the document to print it later instead firefox wants to save the document as a firefox document. If i change the format to word document and then save it, it can't be opened at all...
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== i started using firefox instead of explorer

Hello Myrorna.
You may be having an usability problem with the email service you are using. Are you sure you are not seeing the word document in an online document viewer? Firefox doesn't read word documents, so it's not possible for Firefox to save documents as a word document.
Unless you are using an add-on for such effect, in which case you need to contact its author for support.

Why aren't apple doing something to sort out the facetime app for mac

Why aren't apple doing something to sort this out, there is obviously something wrong as so many people seem to be having the same or very similar problems, I was about to buy the facetime app for my mac but not sure I should now
Come on apple, no use sticking your head in the sand, get it sorted.
After all, you are quite happy to take peoples money for your app, the least you can do is to ensure it works.

Backing up and restoring is not the same as downgrading.
Apple have stopped signing 5.1.1 which is why you can't downgrade.

Why aren't images I captured using acrobat on a mac visible in a word document on a PC?

Hi guys
this question has been asked before, but I can't find any answers that address the exact problem I'm having.
I use a mac to create word documents that are read by other collaborators who use PCs. Until recently, I had created these documents on my Macbook Air, running OS X (snow leopard). These documents involve copying lots of images, for which I was using Adobe Reader 9, into word documents (I have word 2008). Using that setup, there was no problem.
Over the weekend I got a new iMac, which is running Mac OS v 10.7.2 (lion). I installed a full version of Adobe Acrobat Pro X. Still have word 2008 (I save my documents as ".doc" because some of my collaborators don't run new versions of word and don't have the capability to open ".docx" files).
I just got an email from one of my collaborators that she can't view any of the copied images in the document I just sent her (the first using the new setup). Each image is just an empty box with the words "quicktime and a decompressor are required to view this picture." I tried searching to see whether others have had this problem, and it appears they have - I see that this is mostly a problem (at least it was in the past) because macs convert files into TIFFs when they copy to the clipboard, which the PCs can't read.
Only problem is, all the threads I read about this problem recommended upgrading to word 2008 as a fix to the problem...but I have word 2008! So why is this happening? Or did it mean that the collaborator (not me) should upgrade to word 2008?
I don't know what version of word my collaborators have, but it may be impractical for me to tell them to upgrade their versions. Is there anything I can do on my end to prevent this from happening?
I will say that I had this problem when I initially started this job, but was able to fix it. At the time I was using preview to open pdfs and grab the images I needed. I switched and started using Reader 9 as my default, and found that as long as I used the camera tool to select my images, the problem disappeared. But in these new versions of acrobat (and reader, which I just downloaded), the camera button is gone, so it looks like there's only one way to select the image...unless someone knows a different one.
thanks for any tips you guys can give me!
Chris

It's possible to add the camera (aka Take a Snapshot) tool to the toolbar in both Acrobat and Reader. Just right-click in the toolbar area, go to the Edit category, and select it.
