Transfer "office" files

How do I transfer "Office" files V.10 from Mac OS 10.6.8 to Mac OS 10.7.4?

If you have saved them as standard .xls files then you should have no problem with them. You can load them with Office 2011's version of Excel. You can also load them with any of the following which are all freeware:
Libre Office is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion.
These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
NeoOffice
Open Office

Transfer Office files to phone? N95 8gig

Hi i'm probably missing something obvious here but how do i transfer MS Office docs or files to my phone? i can't find anything in the Nseries PC suite, i can't see the phone as a mass media device in My Computer and it doesn't show as an available drive to do a "save as".
Phone came with the standard Quickoffice viewer which is all I want to do, no need to edit them.
thanks

No ;-)
Although Nokia has its roots in Finland, I guess the size of the mobile market is so small that Finland has no priority in that sense. But I think that most new phones that Nokia targets to European markets start to sell within days at the same time in most European countries ?
In fact before Christmas time I had to buy 2 phones from my home town to friends in other towns because in most stores many Nokia models were just sold out. (but those were not new ones, in fact both were the "sports phone", cannot really remember the model number...)

We are buying a Mac, will the Apple Store transfer our files from the PC to the new Mac? Also, will the Apple store install Microsoft Office when we purchase it?

We are buying a Mac.
1- Will the Apple Store transfer the files from the PC to the Mac?
2- Will the Apple Store install Microsoft knowing we have to purchase it first.

Will the Apple Store transfer the files from the PC to the Mac? Yes
Will the Apple Store install Microsoft Office for Mac 2011? Yes

I am thinking of buying a iPad but my main desktop machine uses Windows 7 and MS Office. How easy or difficult is it to transfer data files between the iPad and Windows? Are there obvious problems or the need for some form of conversion programs?

You don't need conversion programs, iTunes can copy most of your content over to the iPad via the file sharing section, and some apps also support Dropbox, email attachments, transfer via your wifi network. There are a number of apps that you can get that support Microsoft office file (microsoft don't make an app versions of their software) e.g. from Apple there are Pages (word support), Numbers (excel) and Keynote (powerpoint), and from third-parties there are apps such as Documents To Go and QuickOffice HD

Why are my received file attachments (Office files such as .doc, .docx, .xlsx but also pdf files) corrupted - so that I cannot open them?

For the last month, 90% of the file attachments that I receive by email will not open on my MacBook Pro (2009, running Mac OS 10.7.5). I get assorted messages, but generally saying that the file is corrupt, or the filename contains unacceptable characters. The problem has been generally with Word files (.doc and .docx)], Excel files (.xls and .xlsx) and pdf files.
The bit that I don't understand is that I can open the same email attachments (without any problem) when downloaded on my iMac. And I have recently found that colleagues who received the same emails can open them, and can transfer the files to me (usually by USB stick) … and then I can open them. But I still cannot open the same files received as email attachments on my MacBook Pro.
Which makes me think that the files (email attachments) are somehow being corrupted as they are downloaded?
I installed the Mac OS X Update Combined 10.7.5 in July, so perhaps this was when the problem started? And, although it may be unrelated, around the same time as this problem started, I transferred some files from a colleague's computer on a USB stick and found that the USB stick had picked up a virus/malware, which meant that the stick was dead, and I had to reformat the stick. I scanned my computer (using ClamXav, with the latest updates) and quarantined a file found on the USB stick and on my computer.
Any thoughts on why this might happen, and what I can do to sort it out (as it is making work very difficult - I travel a lot, and rely on being able to open and read files sent from countries all over the world, often by people using old versions of Office software)? I have never had problems in the past, and can't understand why my other computer, and my colleagues, can all open these files, but my laptop will not! Many thanks for any help!

I opened one of the PDF files in notepad and these are the first couple lines:

Cannot access MS office files on OS X partition from windows partition running bootcamp s

I've installed a trial version of Microsoft Office 2010 on the Windows partition of my iMac. Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac is installed on the OS X partition. When I try to open a file on the OS X partition an error displays saying the file is corrupted or the server is not available. If I transfer the file to Windows it opens fine. Other types of files such as a pdf or photo formats open fine with the appropriate Windows programs accessing the OS X partition. Is this a limitation of the trial version or a basic limitation of Office for Windows? Office for Mac can open a file on the Windows partition with no problem.
Thanks for any help.

MSOffice for Windows usually create a temporary hidden file in the same location as the file you open. Since Windows can't write to the Mac partition, I'm wondering if that's the reason for the error. (Anyone who knows for certain, correct me if I'm wrong.)
OSX can natevely read and write FAT32 and read NTFS so I'm assuming that the Office for Mac development team made allowances for opening from a read-only NTFS partition (e.g.: Boot Camp partition.) Of couse, if your Boot Camp partition is FAT32, then there would be no issue with creating any hidden temporary files.

Transfer office to Macbook Air

Hi,
I would like to know how can I simply (if possible) transfer the Office file (word, excel, power point, ...) from my Powerbook G4 to my new Macbook Air (limited connectivity).
I just read on Google that the Migration assistant does not accept to transfert neither individual files nor selection of files...
Thanks a lot

If you have the external DVD drive you can reinstall Office on the computer. Note that installing on more than one CPU at a time may violate the software license (you need to have the Academic version which came with three licenses.)
You have an older version of Office, so you should consider upgrading to the latest Office 2008 which will be a better version for the MBA.
If you can access a USB external drive you could transfer to the external drive in order to move the folder to the MBA.
If you can network both computers you could transfer the folder via Ethernet or wireless via file sharing.

HT1918 I cannot access files I uploaded from an old computer. The email account to which some tracks are connected is deleted. For some reason my birth date doesn't work either. Is there some way to transfer the files to my current address?

Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

Download and save files or Office files!

How can I download and save an EXE file or Office files i.e. DOC, XLS or PPT files to iPhone 5 and then transfer them to Computer/Laptop?
Thanks

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.<br />
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

How to transfer pc files to macbookair

How to transfer data files like Word doc's, Excel spreadsheets from my old Dell Desktop PC to my MacBookAir? The Windows PC Office for XP has been in use since 2003. I've purchased and installed Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac.
I also have photos on my old PC that I want to transfer to my Mac.
I also have Favorites and Bookmarks saved under various browsers e.g. Mozilla, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome. Is it difficult to transfer these; or better to set them up with a new bookmark under Safari?
Is it better to have the Apple staff make the transfer for me? If so, can this be done using some kind of flash drive instead of taking the Desktop PC in to the store?

hi Paul
My wife and I both moved to Mac's last year. The good news is that everything can be ported over, I recommend backing up everything to an external drive before moving data across. In answer to your questions.
1) Yes Microsoft office on the Mac will open MSO files from your PC
2) Yes again no problem.
3) You can export all these bookmarks from their respective browsers and import into Safari. Mind you I'm using Chrome on my Mac not Safari. You can run Firefox too. So the only browser you can't run on the Mac is IE. So you'll need to export your favorites from IE and then import into Chrome, or whatever browser you're going to use on the Mac
4) I did this myself, my wife took her old machine to the Apple store. I have to say I was very impressed with the way they managed the process. She took in both machines and then picken them up the next day and everything was moved and worked as she expected. You might want to drop off the machines on a Friday, go away for the weekend and pick them up the next week .
Hope that helps

Can I copy mac office files to ipad

can I copy office files from my mac to ipad

Yes - you just need an app that can store/open them. I've seen people recommend Documents To Go in the past. You can then transfer (depending on the app and it's functionality) via the file sharing section at the bottom of the iPad's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, or via email.

Unable to open Office files on SharePoint 2010 sites on Windows Server 2008 R2

Setup: Windows SharePoint Server 2010 sp1 on Windows Server 2008 R2 (hosted on VMWare VSphere ESXi 5.1)
Secured using Domain SSL from GlobalSign.
Client OS: Windows 7 Professional 32bit & Windows XP SP3 32 bit
Browsers: IE10, IE9,IE8
Office: Office 2010, Office 2010 sp2 (both 32bit), Office 2007
Problem Description: Only recently, users started having issues with opening Office files (Word, Excel) on SharePoint sites. When you click on an Office file e.g. Word Document, it comes up with the option to select "Ready only" or "Edit"
and choosing either options and re-entering the login credentials results in the
application hanging. If you leave it for a while (about 5 minutes) sometimes the file opens and other times it gives the error "Could not open https://portal.com/XXX/XXX/Document.docx". Even when it opens, it's extremely
sluggish and can't do anything other than end it via Task Manager. Same with excel files.
This happens to all the users all different OS and browsers.
On XP Pro SP3 w/ IE8, when you click on the file, the login prompt keeps popping back up repeatedly and if you click cancel, the file loads up anyway but no way of saving back onto the SharePoint site.
IMPORTANT: One exception is when logged in as a Site Collection Administrator, it
works like a dream bizarrely!!!! Opens, Edits and saves back fine on the SharePoint site.
Have tried following:
1. Repaired Office 2010 Pro; Uninstalled/Re-installed Office 2010 Pro
2. Reset Browser, unticked automatically detect proxy settings.
3. Emptied OfficeOfflineCache on Client
4. Removed WebDAV from the SharePoint server
5. Added Antivirus folder exclusion (We use SEP 11) on the SharePoint Server
Note: PDF files opens fine for all users.
I would immensely appreciate if anybody has got any advice/pointers/suggestions. Desperately out of ideas at the moment.
regards,
Compter Sez No!

Hi,
According to your description, When you try to open a Microsoft Office document from a SharePoint 2010 site in a client application, the document opens slowly and you are prompted to enter your credentials multiple times.
This issue may be because of SharePoint Web Front End (WFE) server(s) has Antivirus software installed and the exceptions are not set correctly.
I recommend to remove the antivirus software or set the correct permissions for the antivirus software to resolve the issue.
To configure the antivirus exceptions, please follow the guidelines in the below articles:
KB943620:
Folders to exclude when you perform a file-level antivirus scan on a server operating system.
KB952167:
Certain folders may have to be excluded from antivirus scanning when you use a file-level antivirus program in SharePoint.
KB943556:
Recommended file and folder exclusions for Microsoft Forefront Client Security or Forefront Endpoint Protection 2010.
Best regards.
Thanks

Unable to transfer large files from MB to External HDs

Hi,
This may be an unusual one. My 1st edition Macbook won't let me transfer large files to my external hard-drives, either by USB, Ethernet or wirelessly through my home wi-fi network.
I've started video editing so I'm importing DVcam tapes through firewire from the camera. A full DV tape translates to about 8-12gb I think.
Using iMovie and saving the import to my Freecom 3.5inch network harddrive vis USB or ethernet, it fails saying 'Unexpected error, error code 1309'.
When I try quicktime pro instead to import the tape to the external HD, I get 'Operation could not be completed, An attempt to add a resource to the file failed'. This happens too with my WD 2.5inch external drive.
However, there is no such problem when I import to the MB's internal harddrive. When I then try and shift the large file off the laptop to an external drive, via USB, ethernet of wirelessly, for editing and save keeping, it fails half way through.
I have the same problem when I try back-up my 17gb virtual windows machine I use with VMware fusion off the laptop to an external drive.
I am currently burning an 18gb iMovie project from the MB's internal HD, over 5 DVDs using Toast's disc-spanning and will reimport them to the external, which is really time consuming.
Also to note, Final Cut Express doesn't have these problems as it seems to break up what would be an 18gb movie file into several smaller files, which my MB is quiet happy to let go onto an external drive. However, the problem re-emerges on Final Cut Ex when I try and import a HDV tape. Possibly FCE isn't breaking them up into small enough pieces for my MB to handle?
Any ideas why this is happening and what I can do to fix it? Or does this mean a new laptop?

I'm a bit late to the party, but specifically there's a 4GB file size limit in the FAT32 format that is standard on many external hard drives. I've run across this problem before, and usually it copies over most of the file and then quits when it reaches the limit.

How do I make space on my MBP and transfer old files to External Hard Drive?

I recently ran out of the 250 GB space on my 2010 Macbook Pro, so I bought a non-apple external hard drive. I plugged it in and Time Machine automatically popped up.
I just wanted to know what the correct way to transfer all my old files that I'm not using any more and still want to keep to the external hard drive and not use the external hard drive as a "backup" for my laptop but rather as just a place to keep all the files I'm not currently using. Do I just use Time Machine and turn off the automatic back ups? Is there a certain way to transfer individual files to the EHD later (does this happen through Time Machine or just dragging them in through Finder?)?
I've never used an EHD so I'm really unsure on how all this works on a Mac since the instruction manual only gave instructions for PC's even though it is Mac compatible.
Thanks in advance!

Apple doesnt make hard drives, they use Toshiba/Hitachi inside current macbook pro non-retina.
You should always have a backup regardless, and 2 at that. One backup, and one archive, unless losing valuable data is no consideration to you.
use time machine as a backup for restoration /emergency backup and use a separate HD for archiving valuable data.
Using an external HD is as easy and falling down. Buy a nice Hitachi/Toshiba or Seagate external HD, format it in disk utility for MAC OSX extended journaled and drag and drop ALL your valuable data to same and updata as needed.
a nice 1TB external HD is currently running $65
backup with time machine,
ARCHIVE all valuable data, ,music, pics, files, videos etc etc onto ANOTHER hard drive.
2 backups is 1, and 1 is none.
If you always follow that rule that should be written in stone, you'll never be sorry.... (and I know countless 1000s that have been)

Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):
