Since yesterday all my usual .xls files will not open (Office for Mac 2011). Can open .xlxs files. Default 'open with' is Microsoft Excel.app. No software updates done. Have repaired disc permissions. What next?

Since yesterday all my usual .xls files will not open (Office for Mac 2011). CAN open .xlxs files. Default 'open with' is Microsoft Excel.app. No software updates done yesterday or the day before (or maybe a Silverlight or an Acrobat one by accident?). Have repaired disc permissions. HHD name is still same as it always was. What next? Thanks
PS I'm not a great techie so assume I don't know what you're talking about!

You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type:  ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

  • Office for Mac 2011 - can't open old files

    I am currently on Mac OS X v10.6.8.  I recently installed Office for Mac 2011.  I cannot open some of my old files.  I think the ones that use the old file names, e.g. .doc and .xls, rather than .docx and .xlsx.
    Can anyone explain how I can open these files in my Office for Mac 2011?
    Many thanks!

    The free LibreOffice will open them, and it's the most cross platform office program (Linux, OS X and Windows versions)

    Hi there,
    Can you import the PST file and find the sent items in another Outlook for Windows? If the issue only occurs in Outlook for MAC, I'd suggest you pose the question in the forums below:

    I have just purchased office for mac 2011 on the 2nd of Sep and it will not allow me to open or save as any file that is .xlsx. When I try to open ax xlsx file I get
    "Excel cannot open this file.
    The file format or file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file."
    Can anyone help me with this? I can open an .xlsx file in preview or quick look only.

  • When I send a pages file from my ipad to my mac i can edit the file but when i try to print it shows blank why

    when i send a pages file from my ipad to my mac, i can edit the file but if I try to print it shows blank and will not print anything

    Is there a reason you are not storing your Pages documents in iCloud?  That would work for both your MacBook and iPad if you choose to use it (assuming your MacBook is new enough to support an OS X version that supports iCloud).
    If you choose this method, any updates you make on one device would immediately be made available on the other (once you close the file).

    Here is a very easy possible solution, worth trying before uninstalling Office. It worked for us so hopefully might work for you.
    We installed Yosemite on a test machine to check for problems. Office 2011 for Mac ran and still does run fine on that machine with Yosemite.
    As a result we installed Yosemite on our main machines. At the same time we updated Office for Mac 2011 using the latest update 14.4.7. It was at this point that Office started crashing every time a document was opened.
    Solution that worked for us.
    1 Using Font Book (comes with your Mac) we removed all duplicate fonts. We selected the automatically remove option.
    2 Restart computer.
    3 Shut down computer.
    4 Restart computer in 'safe boot' to do this:
    a) Shut down the computer.
    b) Press the power button.
    c) Immediately after hearing start-up tone, hold down SHIFT key.
    d) Release SHIFT key after Apple logo and progress indicator appears.
    e) Once computer has opened, restart the computer without holding down any keys.
    5 Hopefully all should be ok now. Your machine might run a little slow for a while as it rebuilds caches etc but all ours were back at full speed after a few minutes.
    Best Wishes
    Bob

  • Will Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 work on my iMac with Mountain Lion OS?

    Help!  I have downloaded Mountain Lion (10.8.4) on my iMac. Now I can't open or use files that contained labels I made with Microsoft Office for Mac 2004 because Mountain Lion does not support Power PC and Microsoft Excel.  If I purchase and download Office for Mac 2011, will it allow me to continue using these label files?  If not, how can I get a database for my iMac that will enable me to create labels and catalogues?

    Thanks, Niel.  I'm glad to know purchasing the Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 will enable me to retrieve and use my "ancient" database label files.  I did try to get OpenOffice, but my computer says "'OpenOffice' can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer" and my "security preferences allow installation of only apps from the Mac App Store and identified developers."  How can I do this?  I really don't know about the inner workings of my computer!

    Preventing Microsoft Office to open recent documents at startup in Mac OS, Please see:

    It seems that the solution works for most people.
    In a terminal, enter the following:

  • With my Lion OS, if I upgrade to Office for Mac 2011, it will not work?

    LIke the title says, with Lion OS, even if I upgrade to Office for Mac 2011, I will still be unable to use word docs. The reason it bothers me so much is that I need both my mac.com email and the ability to send Wrod docs to my publisher. I feel stumped.

    even if I upgrade to Office for Mac 2011
    That implies you haven't upgraded yet. Yes?
    I will still be unable to use word docs.
    Why would you presume that? You'll be able to open and create any Word documents.

    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.

  • All my mailboxes in Office for mac 2011 deleted when upgrading the version of OS X Lion from 10.7.3?

    Morning.
    I upgraded my OS X Lion software from 10.7.3 yesterday and once done all my mailboxes in Outlook for Mac 2011 had been deleted - Outlook for Mac is completely empty! I have a yahoo and gmail account which are easy enough to resync, however I also had historical .pst files loaded up that I don't have any other copies of, that i need urgently :-).
    I am using Time Machine to back up to a Time Capsule, so I restored to the backup about an hour before I did the OS X Lion update, however my Outlook folder is still empty :-(.
    Please can someone assist in resolving this? How can I recover or locate the data files and reupload?
    Many Thanks,
    Chris

    Thanks for your reply, much appreciated. I went to the respective folder and found the database file, however when I try open in Outlook I get the following message "You have not set up an e-mail account." and that I need to set an email account to send and receive messages?
    In addition I tried to then import the database file and received the following message "The data file is damaged and Outlook is not able to import it". I then went into my later backup's in Time Machine, however there are no Data files under the Main Identity folder to compare against the current one? Any ideas what else I can do, and also why this would be he case? Many Thanks

  • Upgraded Office for Mac 2011 to 14.1.4 and now Outlook will not sync with iCal and Contacts

    I have upgraded my iMac to Microsolf Office 2011 version 14.1.4 and now Outlook will not sync the calender contents and contacts to iCal and Address Book. Prior to the installation of 14.1.4 all worked well. Discovered the problem when I sync'ed my iPad and the addresses and calendar went missing. New entries to the calendar will sync. Help.

    Office is not an Apple product. You are much more likely to find a resultion in the MS forums:
