Since upgrading to OSX Yosemite cannot open word files downloaded from email.

I have recently installed OSX Yosemite on my late 2010 macbook air. Since upgrading I have been unable to open files in Word that I have downloaded from my email. Old word files seem to work fine. My university has given faculty access to "Office 365" and that is what I use for my email. However whenever I try and download a word file from my email the computer opens word for a second - I can see the first page of the document - and then immediately closes. This happens regardless of whether or not I open the file from my computer in my desktop or in my downloads folder, or just download another copy from my email. The word file works fine on another windows computer, it's only on this mac that Office 2011 crashes every time I try and open this new file. Please advise?

A web site for the community I live in. I can get into the site but when I try to open a PDF file all I get is a grey screen. I can open PDF files from mail, and other sites.

  • Cannot open Word File because "there are problems with the contents"

    Hi Everyone,
    I cannot open Word File because "there are problems with the contents" unspecified error; Location: 2.  Please help as I need this doc for work meeting this morning.  Nothing special about this doc but links were copied into it???  However I do that all the time.  I have never had this happen before.  I am on a 2010 machine.  I just ran a disk permissions repaired and emptied the trash but still no dice.  I had several other word docs up as well when I got up this morning but they are all fine.  I do not have Time Capsule turned on (which I need to do but that will be another thread/question).
    Thank you,
    sb

    Ok, I found a way to open this but not sure what happened to begin with and the formatting setup is different now, almost like text editor?  Not sure what happened here but hope it doesn't happen again?

  • Cannot open .avi files imported from Nikon d90 in Adobe Premiere 6.0.

    Cannot open .avi files imported from Nikon d90 in Adobe Premiere 6.0.
    When I try to open the file I get the following error message:
    "cannot open that file
    the file uses an unsupported file compression format"
    I really need urgent help with this so if you know a soloution, please post it!

    I don't do mjpeg so you will have to search the forum for advice
    But... having a playback codec installed does not ALWAYS mean the codec will work for Premiere editing
    After you search the forum and find the (I think free) codec vendors, you will need to install fresh so Premiere will "see" the codec for editing
    Or, Google
    convert mjpeg avi
    To convert to DV AVI type 2 with 48khz sound so the files will "natively" edit in Premiere
    My GUESS (you didn't say) is the d90 is a STILL camera that has a video function, not a true camcorder
    If you plan to do much video work, you need a tape-based DV camcorder so you use Firewire to do a digital transfer as a "real" AVI that Premiere may edit without conversion or extra software
    For a Firewire DV Camera - look at Panasonic PV-GS320 or GS500 (Note that I have not used either, but they have good reviews)

  • HT4796 I cannot open any files transferred from the PC to my MAC as I am "not authorized". How can I correct this?

    I cannot open any files transferred from my Windows PC to my Mac as I am "not authorized". How can I correct this?

    Select the folderr containing all of those files, CMD+I, click on the lock, enter your admin password, add yourself with read & write, and click on the action button and select apply to enclosed items. That should do the trick. BTW, I don't have a PC, so i've not transfered any such files to my machine.

  • Can't open word files sent from my 9500 to E90

    Can some one please help me,
    word documents sent to my E90 from my 9500 won't open,
    message says :Unable to open file not supported,
    It all started with data mover, Contact & Calendar entries are fine but document folders are recognised but won't open,
    Nokia suggested using drag & drop, using Pc suit
    with the 9500 connected drag all wanted files from the phone into my Pc then connect the E90 and reverse the process, files appear but I can't open them,
    Then I was told to e-mail from my Pc as an attachment,
    did'nt work either, doesn't matter how you get the files into the E90 you don't seem to be able to open them.
    So, is it possable to get word files into an E90 from a 9500
    Thank you.

    Open Word file in 9500, choose "Save as" from the Menu and you will have an option on one of the buttons at the right of the screen regarding the Format. Press that button and choose MS Word format. If you save all your Word files like this you should be able to open them on E90.
    This is from memory alone. If I was not clear enough, please let me know and I will give you more detailed instructions. Good luck.
    Me again, opened and a file in my 9500 and saved it in MS Word 97 then using Pc Suit copied it from one phone into the other, but once again I get the same message (Unable to open.. File type not supported)
    I don't know if all E90's come with the same programs pre-loaded, in mine I have a program entitled Quick Office in which it says you can open and manipulate Word files along with Excel and also Lotus Notes but first you have to purchase and download software from Nokia to activate it,
    I have found that if I go into Quick Office and write a document in word then save it, I get the same message as above when I try to open it,
    As I said in my previous message, I suspect I will have to purchase the Quick Office software from Nokia,
    I look forward to hearing your thoughts,
    Kind Regards.

  • I cannot Open EXCEL files transferred from my old HP laptop.

    I am unable to open EXCEL files transferred from my HP LapTop. How to resolve?

    The forum for MBP:
    MacBook Pro
    As for Excel, checked microsoft office community?
    Maybe if you try export first....?
    Vista has its own ownership permission flags. Maybe if you modify the file or a copy first, and then copy.

  • How to update the codec on laptop 2 open my files downloaded from camcorder

    I recently purchased a Sony HDR-TG7VE Camcorder and have downloaded the software for this onto my laptop, however after downloading the movie clips onto my laptop I am unable to open the files.
    I contacted Sony and they said it is a problem with my laptop and I need to contact Toshiba to update the Codec.
    The message I am getting is "Windows cannot open this file. To open this file windows needs to know what program you want to use to open it. Windows can go online to look it up automatically or you can manually select from a list of programs installed on your computer.
    what do you want to do - use the web service to find the correct program
    - select a program from a list of installed programs"
    I am using windows vista business 32 bit operating system.
    The camcorder is an HD camcorder.

    It is really irresponsible to get such answer from cam manufacturer.
    They offer product and they must support you with this. it is logic that recorded files should be open on every PC desktop or notebook.
    Following their logic everyone who hast this cam and want to watch movies on PCs must contact PC manufacturers for support. It is really crazy.
    I don't know nothing about this cam but usually you should have some software dist with software that can help you to watch the movies or maybe to convert the files in other format and watch the movies with standard players like Windows media player or VLC player.

  • Since Upgrading to Ios5 i cannot open my contacts! i have tried to disable the Icloud and still they do not open! anyone have any further ideas for me to try?

    Since i updated my Iphone 4S to IoS5 i cannot open my contacts! i have tried to disable the Icloud and still they do not open! anyone have any further ideas for me to try?

    Check the age of the files you wish to open.
    Keynote 6 (the latest you downloaded) will opne Keynote 5 (KN09) files but nothing earlier. For that KN5 will act as an intermediate format (you save KN4 and earlier as KN5), then KN6 can open the resultanr files.
    Make sure you have a backup of your original files, in case KN6 cannot replicate some of your earlier builds and transitions.

  • When receiving an appointment from Microsoft outlook And since upgrading to ios7 I cannot open the appointment and Add it into the iphone calendar?

    Since upgrading to ios7 I can no longer accept email appointments from outlook, open them and then add the appointment into my iphone calendar!

    Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons simultaneously, ignoring the red power off slider, until the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. This should not affect any content on the iPad, it is similar to rebooting your computer.

  • Since upgrade to Windows 8, cannot save .rdp files under the Remote Desktop Connection application on the Desktop

    Since I upgraded to Windows 8, I am no longer able to save individual Remote Desktop Connection files as .rdp files. I am talking about the traditional Remote Desktop Connection application on the Desktop that was in previous Windows versions, not the
    Remote Desktop App from the Windows 8 store.
    When I try to click on the Save button I get "An error occurred while saving to file"
    When I try to click on the Save As button I get "Unable to open connection file" with the file address being where I tried to save it with the file name at the end.
    Also when I upgraded to Windows 8, my .rdp files disappeared from my Documents folder.
     I need to create different .rdp files for different programs that my employees get into on my server. Now I have to hand type all the info each time into the Programs tap on the Remote Desktop Connection window, because I can't save to an
    .rdp file.
     I like the Remote Desktop App from the Windows store but it won't let me designate specific programs to use using standard dos notation (ie c:\program files\ etc..). It just goes to my server desktop.
     I want to promote Windows 8 to my employees but I need either .rdp files for the traditional Remote Desktop Connection or the ability to open specific programs using dos notation in the Windows Store Remote Desktop App.

    You don't need to worry too much about what's in here. Save the text file as
    filename.rdp then rightclick on the file and select edit. The familiar GUI rdp session editor will open. You can make changes in the GUI and
    save or save as a different session.
     Hope this helps.

  • Since "upgrading" to OSX ML, I can't receive or send email. Why?

    Since "upgrading" to OS X Mountain Lion, I can't receive or send emails in my @icoud or @me mail accounts and when I delete old messages in the Inbox, they come back the next time I check the Inbox. oes anyone know why the mail is this screwed-up? I've been forced to reroute all of my mail to my windows Outlook account to receive them.

    Go to System Preferences > iCloud and make sure your account info is correct, delete the password and reenter to be sure it is clean.  Go to Mail and then open Preferences and check the account informaiton for the iCloud account and again, delete and reenter the password for the account.  Sometimes the passwords get garbled during an upgrade.
