Unable to open files in Documents

Hi all,
I've looked all over the internet for the solution to the problem I've been getting but I'm yet to have any luck with it.
The only way I can explain it is by posting a picture. I'm unable to open any of my files or get any info on them.
I was wondering if anyone knew what this was and how I can resolve it?
Thanks

Have you run Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility to repair permissions?  That would be the first thing I would recommend.

  • Unsolved: unable to open file because it isn't a valid Keynote document

    I'm trying to open a presentation I made some time ago, it is a .key file I used to open without any problems. Now the message appears:
    "Unable to open file because it isn't a valid Keynote document".
    I tried the solution described here, but it didn'd work: i change extension to .zip, unzip it and there is no index file. There are only pictures from the presentation in .tiff
    I also sent the file to my friends and they had the same problem opening it. It's very strange, I've successfully opened it before. And the problem is only with THIS file!
    Please help me out!

    Have you tried to create a new Keynote Presentation? Do you have another previously saved Keynote file you can try to open? These will make sure it is a problem with this specific presentation and not the whole program.
    Try to delete the Keynote Preferences. They are located in the folder Macintosh HD>Users>your username>Library>Preferences and titled com.apple.iWork.Keynote.plist.
    Your profile shows that you are still on Mc OS 10.6.6, is that true? You might try to update to 10.6.7 as I believe that there was a font issue fixed in this update (I don't know for sure since I am still on 10.5.8).
    Try those and report back and we will see what we can come up with.

    THis is safe for Mac's? Sorry, I have just never heard of this site before.
    And there are literally tens of thousands of sites of which I've not heard, too. Not this one.
    It's legit. There are lots of links in Apple Support Communities to the LibreOffice web site, as well as others that are legitimate open-source developers of options to buying MS Office, such as NeoOffice and OpenOffice. I have Open Office installed on one of my older Macs that can't run Office 2011 and it is rock-solid.
    I've been here too long to start posting bogus urls now.

  • URGENT - Error "Unable to open file because it isn't a valid Keynote document" - and there is no index file (so the usually suggested solution doesn't work)

    Hi there,
    As you see in the heading, I am getting the error "Unable to open file because it isn't a valid Keynote document". There has been a number of threads on this and there seems to be a usual work around that works in many cases, by changing the file extension to .zip and then looking for the index file and making some more extension changes...unfortunately, in my case (and it also happened to others), there is no index file, so the usually suggested solution doesn't work...Can someone please help? I am working on a tight deadline and would like to try and recover the file.
    Thanks a lot in advance.
    Best,
    Just a regular apple user
    PS: any other presentation opens fine in Keynote (09)

    You may first want to look into Safari's "Installed Plugins" section within the browser. This is (usually) found under the Safari Help header in the top of a browser. I say usually, because I don't use Safari often and mine is an older version. They handle applications and plugins like most others, to a point.
    I see in Safari Installed Plugins that mine would use
    application/pdf
    Acrobat Portable Document Format
    Acrobat Reader & reader plugin v9.5.5 for web browsers
    (in Safari 5.x, where I looked into this)
    While I use FireFox, SeaMonkey (Mozilla) and others, where I can choose in preferences the helper applications to open from the browser, Safari has different methods; so if you can change this in the preferences or settings of Safari in a later version I am not certain.
    You could see what the defaults are by using Safari help menu to open the Installed plugins, and maybe find out what happend to Adobe reader plugin. Could be it was 'sandboxed' in a later OS X and needs to be installed differently to be accepted as safe.
    It is easier to set how a file type is handled once it is inside the computer and not held in the browser; by file type in general or specific to each single document. I do both, and seldom let an a browser do these things due to security considerations. I download and open them, only then if I feel they are safe.
    Sorry to not have a specific answer for that anomaly.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • REP-110: Unable to open file

    9iAS report server has been configured.
    There is Infrastructure & Business Intelligence Forms home is on same server.
    When i try to run the demo url from web browser :
    http://<FQDN server>:8888/reports/rwservlet?destype=cache&desformat=PDF&report=Inventory_Report.rdf&userid=scott/tiger@iasdb1
    its giving the error as:
    REP-110: Unable to open file 'Inventory_Report.rdf'.
    REP-1070: Error while opening or saving a document.
    REP-0110: Unable to open file 'Inventory_Report.rdf'.
    Tried giving full path also But No Luck!
    The file is existing in the proper given path with required permissions.
    Can somebody help me.. If any configuration related help, path setting ??

    I have had issues with reports failing to run. My solution was to change settings on the Report App server. I changed the engine parameters to:
    initial engines=2
    maximum engines=5
    minimum engines =2
    maximum job before shutdown (englife)=1
    maximum idle before shutdown=30
    JVM Option= -Xms512m -Xmx512m
    When in the report App server, you should see a page with settings similar to above. Make sure you try these settings in the test environment first (you can change them around then to see what works best).

  • Unable to Open Files without Extensions

    Ever since updating to Mavericks and iWork 2013, I've noticed that Pages seems unable to open files that lack formal file extensions and the OS seems unable to accurately identify what type of file something is. For example, if I double-click on a Word document that doesn't have ".doc" or ".docx" in its filename (either shown or hidden), Pages will launch and then say the file "can't be opened." If I then change the filename to include ".doc" or ".docx" and try again, Pages will open the file successfully. It doesn't seem limited to iWork, though. Today I tried opening a PDF file that lacked a file extension. Pages launched and told me the file "can't be opened." I then added ".pdf" to the filename, double-clicked on it again, and the file successfuly opened in Preview. Any idea why the OS seems to be unable to tell what kind of files things are all of a sudden? Or why iWork and other apps seem unable to recognize and open files they used to be able to recognize and open? I don't have time to add file extensions to all my files! — Also, I thought this was a mature UNIX-based OS, not Windows 3.1...

    Didn't realize I could edit my original post, so now this comment is superfluous...

  • Unable to open older pages documents

    hello
    i've got a problem with the pages software.
    i've got the older version of 'pages' (4.3) and i've installed just recently the new version.  at least i think i have.  when i go to apple store and see recent downloads, i can see the new version of pages has been installed/bought (although i don't recall paying for it or receiving an invoice??)
    however, i'm now unable to open any pages documents that i created in 4.3.   i keep getting the message 'a new version of pages is needed to open this document'.
    when i click on 'more info' i get the apple pages site and i click on 'view in apple store' but from the apple store the new pages is 'installed'.
    so i'm stuck and typically, like today, i reeeeeeeally need this file.
    i've got a basic mac (bought in 2010) - i'm running os x 10.9.2.  there's no updates currently available.
    any ideas anyone?? 
    many thanks
    liddy17

    You have Pages 5 in Applications folder and Pages 4.3 in Applications/iWork 09 folder.
    Pages 5 is taking command and it seems you have opened the documents in PAges 5 without knowing it though they do not look quite the same when opened. See if you can open the document in Pages 5 and then go File > revert  or File > export > Pages 09

  • Error 'Unable to open file' when downloading SAP Query to Excel

    Hi all
    I'm running a SAP Query which is set to download straight to a spreadsheet (Pivot Table / Microsoft Excel).  Intermittently it does not work -  apparently at random (at least, I've can't recreate the error at will).
    It does one of the following:
    - Works ok, and creates the pivot table
    - Gives an Excel error message 'Unable to open file', then returns to the 'save the data in a spreadsheet' popup when enter is pressed on the error.
    - Does not issue error message, just goes to the 'save the data in a spreadsheet' popup.
    In the last two cases, the excel pivot table sheet is not created.
    Has anyone seen anything similar, or have any idea as to what is causing the problem?
    Any help gratefully received!
    Not urgent as I've found a way round -  further testing seems to show that I don't get the error is Excel is already open - but in the past I've run many SAP query downloads without needing to open Excel first.  I suppose it's possible that this is just something to do with the Excel setup at the user site

    pls reply me..its very urgent...thanku..

    You could try Videora (http://www.videora.com/) - the downside here is that they have specific versions for specific phones, and sometimes it will makea file that plays perfectly in the desired phone but can't be shared to other models. The don't show a version for the N79, but try the N96 one because the N96 is the most similar OS to yours that they offer.

    For the benefit of anyone who experiences this error in IIS7, the IUSR_xxx user no longer exists. You must grant permissions to "IIS APPPOOL\hfmAppPool" instead (select the local machine as the "Location" if Windows Explorer complains).
    Similarly, for the benefit of those who get the error in HFM 11.1.2.1, security must be applied to the Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\product\FinancialManagement\Web folder.

  • Unable To Open File.......... The system cannot find the file specified

    hi all.
    First time poster.
    i have a windows VM running on my macbook...
    have had no troubles for the last 2 months using hourly...
    have just restarted the mac, and have come up with the unable to open file error...
    i'm confused (extremely new to mac)
    is there anything i need / can do to fix? (had a heap of stuff i needed on the windows VM)
    thanks

    Welcome to the Community,
    I can't tell you what was causing this, but according to the support bundle you provided, three of the required .vmdk files are missing (Virtual Disk-s001.vmdk, Virtual Disk-s002.vmdk, and Virtual Disk-s003.vmdk). These files however still existed when you used the VM at "2015-05-23T12:29:04.017+10:00" (see vmware.log).
    Since the VM is running on a snapshot and the base .vmdk files have a time stamp of April, 14th, you should be able to recover these three files from a recent backup (assuming you are regularly backing up your system). You may also want to check whether there's a lost+found folder on your system which contains the files!?

  • Adobe creative suite cs5: unable to open files in photoshop. unable to drag objects on illustrator..

    Adobe creative suite cs5: unable to drag objects on illustrator or indesign. unable to open files in photoshop, brush doesnt work in photoshop.
    In the past I uninstalled adobe creative suite cs5 from my laptop, used the adobe creative cloud cleanup tool, restarted and then reinstalled the programs and everything worked again for about a week. Now everything has gone back to the way it was again and this time the uninstalling and reinstalling isnt helping.
    Any ideas?
    Im pretty desperate!!
    Thanks

    Hi Alisa
    I'm having exactly the same problem. Uninstalled CS4 and reinstalled the 30 day trial of the Creative Cloud and it's stil having the same glitches, not opening in photoshop and not being able to drag/move objects in Illustrator or inDesign.
    Did you find a solution to this problem?
    Thanks
