This file can't be opened because it has been deleted
When I tried to save an Appleworks 6 document by clicking SAVE (drop down menu) and then inputting a file name and then clicking SAVE I get the following message.
"This file can't be opened because it has been deleted."
This problem started yesterday. I also had this problem this morning - but -
I have just tried to replicate the problem and I can't
However, has anybody had this problem before? If you did you solve it, or did it just not happen again?
Although I've only gotten this message when I've had AppleWorks 6 open in both Classic & OS X at the same time, others get it like you with no specific cause. It usually is fixed by using Disk Utility to repair permissions and deleting the AppleWorks 6 preferences. See my user tip, AppleWorks has stopped working correctly, for more on the preferences.

Can't open file because it has been deleted . . .
I am trying to help my aunt with her computer. Every time she tries to update a file or create a new file and save, she gets the message "the file _ can't be opened because it has been deleted." I have tried save as, copying and pasting into a new document, saving it to different locations and saving under different names. I looked online for possible solutions and found people who have posted the same issue, but I can't seem to find an answer . . .
Any suggestions?Welcome to Apple Discussions

I recently purchased a new Mac and I am having difficulty opening older Pages documents.
Pages, This document can't be opened because it's too old. To open it, save it with Pages 09 first still can't open pages documentEither you have access to Pages ’08 v3, Pages ’09 v4, or neither. One of these older, but more functional versions of Pages can open, and export the document in question to Word. Preview on OS X 10.9.5 and Yosemite can view Pages ’08 documents (in my experience). It is not obvious to me that Preview may be using the installed Pages ’09 v4.3 to assist in opening these '08 documents.
Once opened in Preview, you can select/paste text into Pages v5.2.2, or v5.5. If you want the images from the PDF, then export it from Preview as PDF, and then drag/drop onto latest free LibreOffice icon in the Dock, which will open the PDF for editing. Select, copy, and paste the images into Pages v5, or incorporate into Text boxes, or Shapes. When pasted, images will be in their original size/resolution, not necessarily as small as they appear in the PDF.
If the second paragraph is a chore, then follow Peggy's advice above on the sources for purchase of Pages ’09.
In the future, I would not recommend trusting document architecture to Apple, and use a more accessible format (.doc/x) for better cross-platform access, longevity, and application choice. You may find LibreOffice, or Office for Mac 2011 a better choice for features. -
Bought new MAC desktop tried to open old Ipages and I get this message, what do I do now?
This document can’t be opened because it’s too old.To open it, save it with Pages ’09 first.
ThanksIf you migrated your old system to the new Mac you should still have Pages '08 in your Applications/iWork folder.
Open your document in Pages '08 and Export it to Word .doc/.docx and open that in Pages 5.

This file can't be opened.
I have got a file I have worked on for ages that was on iCLoud and it for corrupted and started saying "This file can't be opened."
So I went back to an earlier version and did the work again saving it on my mac.
Now it is saying again:
"This file can't be opened."
1) Is there any way of salvaging this file?
2) Given the way apple have made it harder to save incrementally as you work what is making my files corrupted?
3) The file was a multi sheet spreadsheet. Am I being unrealistic thinking Numbers can handle this?
Best Tommy BananaI suggest backing up the file using Time Machine.
You can also use the menu item "File > Revert To " to see all versions -
The last time I used CS5, I changed the scratch disc in the preferences file; now Photoshop will not open saying that the preferences file has been deleted. I didn't delete the file. How do I fix this?
As you open Photoshop, hold Control + Alt + Shift (or Command + Option + Shift on a Mac). That will trigger a preferences reset dialog, Photoshop will go back to default state when you do that.

Previewer for office files is not working from the same application: i.e. can't preview Excel files when attempting to open one from Excel, same with Word and PowerPoint. I can preview all files from Outlook, and, funny, I can preview files other than Excel
from the Excel previewer, files other than Word from the Word previewer, etc.
I can preview all files from Explorer.
I've looked at previous threads and there are some with the same problem dating back to 2009, all UNSOLVED.
This is a new lap top, new Windows 8.1 and just-installed Office 2013, and 8.1 and Office have these persistent glitches.
Very frustrating to say the least.Hi CALQ59,
Unfortunately, the article you were referred to, by Melon, is simply an article that is explaining a behaviour (some would say bug) in Windows and the Office previewer system. There appears to be a limitation that occurs whereby, if you have an instance
of the Office application open, for which you would like to preview something in an Explorer window, it will not be able to preview the file. To be able to preview the file, this article states that you "must open another instance of the program to preview
the document." So, either open another instance of the Office application in question or quit any instances of the Office application in question and then preview the file of that same type in your Explorer windows to your heart's content. That is of
course until the next time you are working on an Office document of some sort and the previewer has a hissy fit!
This is an incredibly lame bug/limitation that exists in Windows/Office. It's of no current commercial concern to Microsoft to fix it, so we just have to work around it until the problem bubbles to the surface of the development team's bug-fix to-do list,
if ever.
Unfortunately, the way software development is going these days it's all moving towards providing Minimum Viable Product (MVP - Yes, this is a term software developers use) for the same cost as a fully functional product. The bar on software QA is falling,
but the price isn't.
Cheers,

Trying to open Pages '08 files I get "This document can't be opened because it's too old."
I never owned pages '09 and I REALLY need my documents. This is unacceptable nonsense. Please tell me I can download a copy of iWork 09 someplace for Mavericks.
Thanks,I suggest that you buy a retail copy of iWork '09 from Amazon or eBay & then update to the new iWork apps in the Mac App Store. You might check this link for the iWork '09 trial. I have no idea if it is still available.

This is not the first time I've gotten this error message after using iPhoto. Before I post photos online, I edit them in iPhoto. Then, for the ease of uploading, I transfer them all to a folder I create on the desktop, and upload directly from there.
HOw do you do this?
We can try to help but we must know what is going on and what you have done - exactly How are you transferring the photos to a folder?
It doesnt work that way either. Idk why. And I don't want to upload every single picture, just certain ones.
And again - how does it not work?
And using the media browser you select individual photos - you do not have to "upload every single picture"
And now when I click on certain photos to enlarge them in iPhoto, the screen turns black; the picture disappears.
And once again - what does this mean? Does a large ! appear or exactly what happens
Ugh. There seems to be some sort of glitch, but I dont know.
help us out and we can help you -we just are not mind readers
and there are no "glitches" like this in iPhoto - it is probably either user error or a data problem

I uninstalled and reinstalled but the program still won't open. I was trying to download an mp3 file last evening. Instead the site tried to install a new audio player. I did not want it so uninstalled it immediately. I think in that process something was deleted that I need for iTunes but I do not know what. How do i figure out what is gone and recover it?
I did try a system restore - but that was not a fix either.I was trying to download an mp3 file last evening. Instead the site tried to install a new audio player.
Ackk ... that behavior is consistent with the play_mp3.exe trojan:

I've had my iPad (retina display) since last year. Over the last few weeks the App Store struggles to load on occasion and times out completely. When searches do rarely complete, the App Store closes down and returns my iPad to the home screen and, when I open the App Store again, it has just reset the store, forcing it to load all over again. I've tried closing all running background applications, with no difference being made. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
1. Double-click the Home button to reveal Task Bar
2. Hold the App Store app down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
3. Tap the minus sign to close app
4. Re-launch the app and test
Note: If necessary close all apps in the Task Bar -
