Trouble exporting to .doc

I have never had an issue exporting a .pages file to a .doc in the past. Here recently I have encountered an issue. When using File > Export > Word for some reason it now says "An unexpected error has occurred." The software is up to date, I restarted the application, and tried shutting down the computer with no luck. Please someone help?

Dear Peter,
Thank you so much for your advice in adjusting my way of thinking.
As I stated earlier, this problem was solved through iPad.
I understand your point when you talk about using illegal characters for windows, but when I pasted the text into a new document, I kept the "untitled", so it's not the case.
Disregarding the error, Apple should never use a "unexpected error"... if the user is doing something wrong, they should be more informative. I've been a Mac user for the past 8 years and i've never encountered such error.
I appreciate your willing to help, but I solved the issue using iPad (with same text and with same name than in iMac). I can't use my own time trying to debugging Apple software, and anything that says "unexpected error" is, in my point of view, a bug. That's why I asked earlier how could I report this directly to them.
Thank you very much for your time.
I would mark your answer as helpful, but I'm not the creator of this discussion.

Trouble exporting projects

So I'm having trouble exporting .. Final Cut just keeps crashing when I try most types of Exports. If I select Share -- Master file, I'll get a beach ball, and then it crashes. The same with Share -- Apple devices. When I do Share -- YouTube, it seems to work. But at the final step, it just does nothing. Just hit Publish and it goes back to the project with no status bar or anything.
Part of the error that I get when it crashes includes:
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Codes: 0x000000000000000d, 0x0000000000000000
I'm using 10.0.7. Any ideas of what might be going on and what I could do to correct? Thanks!

Here's a doc you may want to review. Tells how to trash preferences and reinstall the app, the first two things to try. BTW, "Repair Permissions" in Disk Utility is a waste of time, it has never "fixed" anything.

Trouble Exporting to PDF

I am having trouble exporting one file to PDF. I try other indd files and they export prefectly fine. Just this one file. When I export it has the message "background task: Failed to export a PDF"
I try couple solution online that I find
1. Disable preflight and restart InDesign
2. Add the document to a new book and export from the book panel
The only think that I couldn't try is Disable background exporting.
I am having a little trouble there....I did create an empty ext file and save it as "DisableAsynExport.txt"
but I seem to have trouble going to the folder. It said that you need to go...
Mac: /Applications/Adobe InDesign CS5.5/Adobe InDesign CS5.5.app/Contents/MacOS/
When I got to Adobe InDesign CS5.5.app it opens the app instead of opening another folder... not sure if there is another way to open it.
So when I go to Mac: /Applications/Adobe InDesign CS5.5/
It has Adobe Indesign CS5.5.app, Configuration folder, Documentation folder, Fonts folder, Legal folder, Plug-Ins folder, Presets folder, Scripts folder and Uninstall Adobe InDesign CS5.5
So I have not clue where the Contents/MacOS is??
Would be best is someone can help me....
Thank you so much!!!

If it failed from a book, it won't matter if you disable background export becasue books don't use it.

what version of pages?
what is the files type that you are trying to export?
what do you mean unless I create a duplicate file? the whole point of export is that you get a new file with a new format

How do I export a .doc file to my online adobe account into a .pdf file?

How do I export a .doc file to my online adobe account into a .pdf file?

Hi tennisknight,
The online Adobe account you are referring to, is it Acrobat.com cloud?
You need to purchase a subscription for PDF Pack and then sign in to : https://cloud.acrobat.com/
Select the files saved in 'Acrobat.com' and then click on the 'Create pdf' tab to convert the selected doc files to pdf.
Alternatively you can download the .doc file from the online account and use Adobe Acrobat to convert it to pdf.

Trouble exporting interactive pdf´s

Hi!
I having som trouble exporting pdf from indesign cs6 using the interactive export option. In short my goal is to export a magazie file, about 80 pages to a pdf using srgb color space and medium res images to use on a website. I have previously used the interactive option in the export dialog box, since this option converts the file to a web freindly file. Now this crashes indesign. On page 64 everthing stops and I have to force quit ID. This have worked before, but now I have experienced the same problem on two different files. Does anyone have any clue to why this happens or any suggestions to a work around?
Thanks, Rune

This usually indicates theres a problem with something on a page. You can often isolate it using a divide and conquer strategy. Try exporting the front half of the file and the back half as separate PDFs. If either half fails, divide that in half and repeat until you are down to one page. Do the same with the objects onthe page (though it usually turns out to be an image).
If both halves export OK initially, then it's a problem of machine resources. Combine the two halves using Acrobat Pro.

Trouble Exporting Images from Lightroom 3

I am having trouble exporting images from Lightroom 3 with my User Presets. Error Message: The file could not be written. (1). It has always worked in the past but I just bought a new Mac and had everything transfered to it. Everything else seems to be workin fine. Any solutions?

Sometimes on new computers, the permissions in certain folders are not set up to allow you (the only user) to write files. It's worth a check.

I am having trouble exporting closed captions from premiere cc 2014.

I am having trouble exporting closed captions from premiere cc 2014. I see them in the program monitor but after i export and try to playback in either quicktime or VLC i get to embedded captions. I eve tried the side car file and embedded with compressor and still nothing. Any help would be appreciated.
I only used compressor because i switched from final cut to adobe. easy fellas!

I have latest QT version, do i need to go back to 7? I have tried VLC also, i usually use that to check CC in mpeg files. I am exporting a QT H.264 for just testing purposes, I need a prores HQ, also this is SD so my sequences are set to 720x486.

I am having trouble exporting .raw files to an external storage device. Even though I export "original" they end up as jpeg files. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

I am having trouble exporting .raw files from my Mac Book Air to an external storage device. Even though I am exporting as "original" they are being exported as jpegs. Anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong?

Using the "original" setting is the correct way to do it. Select on of the photos and use the File ➙ Reveal in Finder ➙ Original menu option. That will take you to the file inside the library via the Finder. Confirm that what you see if the raw file.
If it is then try the following: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

Trouble exporting to DVDSP from FCP5

I'm having trouble exporting my sequence into DVDSP4. I've tried using Quicktime Conversion and Quicktime but the sequence doesn't import into DVDSP and neither do the menue templattes. When I attempt to convert to Quicktime a message pops up with "data needs to be rendered first," although the red render bar isn't there. It's just grey in the bar area. What is going on here. HELP!!!

Trouble exporting in premiere!

Im am having trouble exporting and after effects file out of premiere. It stops in the middle of exporting and it show in the premiere project window that the files are offline. It isn't getting past 2%. Could my file be corrupted? Please Help.

No thoughts but I generally avoid DL and make digital intermediates for use between AEFX and Premiere.
I trust them and I can manage them. Never had an issue.
This is still the clue to your issue I think.
it show in the premiere project window that the files are offline

Trouble exporting to MPEG-2

Hi, I am having a lot of trouble exporting from FCP 4.5 to MPEG-2 for DVD Studio Pro. When I export a video, sometimes it looks as if it worked but sometimes the program unexpectedly quits. When it looks like it worked I try importing the file into DVD studio pro, but when I preview it, the bottom half of the screen is green, and this usually causes DVD Studio Pro to unexpectedly quit. I have tried exporting it as a quicktime movie to DVD studio pro and have it convert it while its burning the DVD, but that ends in the video having lots of artifacts and the green problem. If anyone has any suggestions it would be extremely helpful. Thanks. By the way, I have repaired permissions and trashed the preferences files of both programs.

Try this workflow:
- From FCP export your timeline as Quicktime Movie, self contained and same settings as your sequence.
- Take that movie into Compressor, select a MPEG2 preset that match your project lenght (I didn't find such information in your posts) and Dolby AC3 for your audio.
- Import those encoded files (MPEG2 and AC3) into DVDSP.
Post the results.
