Unable to open some Powerpoint 2010 PPTX files which were emailed to me
A presentation created by a colleague was emailed to me via Outlook 2010. After saving the file (save attachments) in a folder, I cannot open the PPTx file. I get the following error ina dialogue box:
Powerpoint found a problem with content in XXX.ppt.
Powerpoint can attempt to repair the presentation.
If you trust the source this presentation, click Repair.
When I click on 'Repair', I get another dialogue box which says:
This error can be caused by following conditions:
---- none of which are applicable to my system. Can somebody help me with this problem?
Hi there. I had a similar issue. How I was able to resolve this was by doing the following. You will need Office 2003 (with compatibility pack) and Office 2010.
1. Open the Powerpoint presentation in Powerpoint 2003.
2. Once you have the presentation opened in Powerpoint 2003, save it as a Powerpoint 2007 presentation.
3. Open the presentation using Powerpoint 2010. You may get some error prompts (you can ignore). Click on save as, and save it as a Powerpoint 2010 presentation. Close it.
4. Now open it again using Powerpoint 2010, you should be able to work on it without any issues.
Not the most elegant solution but it worked for me. I hope this helps.

I am unable to open some of apps, even one inbuilt app like camera, Example : regarding apps like Clash of clans and Bike race TFG.whenever I try to open these games, it start opening and in middle of opening , it sent me back to home page of my mobile. Please help what to do ?and with camera it open a blank black page ...... Please help ?
AmishCake has given you the correct steps for this issue. What is probably happening is you have too many apps running in the background or the ones that you have open are conflicting in some way with the one you are trying to use, so closing everything out and a good reboot should resolve it.
Also, make sure your device is updated and all the apps are updated. Sometimes when the app is updated and the iOS is not, can cause behaviour like this.
If it continues, back up your device and restore it.

Since I upgraded to Lion, I cannot access many of my earlier files, that were created on AppleWorks on PowerPC. What can I do? Are they completely lost?
Jacques Scohy wrote:
I found the solution: mark your AppleWorks files with .cwk and open them with Pages or Numbers. It works!
Yes, it becoming easier to convert files now that Lion has been out for almost a year, Pages and iWorks in general are becoming the answer for opening a lot of these old files and converting them without having to install complicated hit or miss hacks.
Although as Kappy said, do check what other PPC programs you may need to either update or convert as well. More and more people are realising that the great Lion panic was blown out of proportion, the same as any other OSX ever released and the same as a minority wil react to the upcoming Mountain Lion.
Glad it has all worked out for you so easily.
Happy computing

I have Adobe reader installed. However, I am unable to open some files because it is asking for Adobe's approval to open the files. How do I do this please?
That message is NOT from Adobe, and has nothing to do with Adobe's approval for anything.
Quite the opposite: Adobe Reader is NOT YET RUNNING, Adobe aren't involved. Some other app or program is putting out that message. Have you tried giving that permission? -

Last time I updated pages I lost features I liked and was unable to open some pages files. Now I see the features I liked are back but I have a lot more files to worry about. Will I be able to open files created in 5.2 if I upgrade to 5.5.3?
Within reason, Pages v5.2 documents are forwards compatible with Pages v5.5.3. Apple introduced the single file format document as a default with Pages v5.5.3 which is not backwards compatible with Pages v5 on Mavericks.
However, they also provided a File > Advanced > Change File Type > {Single File, Package} menu that allows you to change the current Pages v5.5.3 document into the backwards compatible Package type document. You would follow this transformation with a File > Save operation to complete it. -

I purchased a new BlackBerry Z30 recently from http://store.shopblackberry.com/store/bbrryus/en_US/pd/productID.298806900/categoryID.66826600/paren... and my Phone Model number is STL 100-5. I also purchased a Z30 Leather flip case manufactured by BlackBerry. I am using my BlackBerry Z30 along with the Z30 Leather flip case.
1) Within the first 2 weeks of receiving and using the new BB Z30 device, I noticed a problem of screen not responding some times. My phone has been freezed at the lock screen. My phone is not responding to any key except for the power button. So, I had an option of only restart/Turn Off my BlackBerry Z30 device. All the time whenever I had this problem, I have to restart my device in order to make it work properly again. I complained about this issue with BlackBerry Technical Support. They assisted me to reset the device to factory settings by taking a full backup. After reset also, I still had the same issue.
2) I am using Sandisk Extreme microSD card of 32GB with my BB Z30 device. Some times due to the restart option, all the data which I had on my microSD card is being erased and is filled with an unknown files.
3) I'm also unable to open some pictures which I have taken using BlackBerry Z30. As I observed, most of the pictures which I taken using Blackberry Z30 are unable to be open/view them after a few days. Still, I am able to observe the properties of those pictures. They are in JPEG format only.
4)Also If I create a Word Document on BlackBerry Z30 using Docs to Go Application and saved it. After closing that particular document and If I try to open it, the document file is not opening and projecting me an error of "This is not a valid .Doc file", but while I check the properties of that particular document it is in .doc format. I tried to transfer the file to my laptop using bluetooth. After a few seconds (approx 2-3 seconds) automatically the transferring is cancelled by the BlackBerry Z30 device. However, I tried to transfer the file within that short time using Bluetooth. While I tried to open it on my laptop using Microsoft Office 2013, the file is displaying with a squares of upto 4 pages while I had a content in it of 3 lines only. While I opened my file using Microsoft Office 2013, there is only squares available in that document.
5) My new BlackBerry Z30 is taking a long time of approximately 6-7 hours to charge the device from 10% to 100%
I request someone to help me with this issues. I would like to thank everyone who can help me with these issues in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.On 7th of Jan 2015 I made my device to factory reset. Also I removed microSD card from my device. As I observed for these 3 days, one time while I received a missed call, I tried to have a look at it. I observed that my screen has been freeze at the receiving call position and its not responding. I tried to close and reopened the display of my device with a flip case which I'm currently using for my device. At this time, after 3-4 swipes to unlock the device, again its back into working condition.
About Documents, I'm able to create, save and open the documents without any issues till now.
About Pictures, they are also working fine without any issues.
I also observed the charging time as approximately 3 hours for charging the device from 14% to 100%. -
IPhoto09 unable to open some jpgs
After spending two hours with a Mac Genius, who was unable to help me, I'm hoping someone here can.
I recently upgraded to iLife09. I started having problems opening up some pictures in iPhoto. Here are the issues:
1) I can see the thumbnail, but when I try to double click on it, the picture will open for half-a-second and then just gives me a black screen
2) It gives blank screen on some pictures, but not all. They're pretty random.
3) I can find the actual jpg files in the iPhoto library, open the files ok in Finder or Photoshop and edit them, so I know the files are not corrupt
4) iPhoto09 is unable to open some jpgs, if I resave the jpg as tif or gif then reimport them to iPhoto09, it opens fine
5) The worst thing is that it's all random, it's unable to open some pictures in different albums, but I can't detect a pattern
6) This is only happening after I upgraded to iLife09
7) I sent the disputed jpgs to a friend, who imported them to her iPhoto08 and was able to open them just fine
Can someone help me please?I don't see color profile in Tools, I see Match to Profile and Assign Profile. The default selection is Generic RGB Profile.
In any case, all the pics was shot from the same camera on the same day. iPhoto will only open some, but not all. If I open the jpgs out of iPhoto, like Preview, I can open them all. I can also make edits to all pics in Photoshop but when I reimport those photos into iPhoto, it will open some, not all -- basically same issue as before. -
I am unable to open scanned documents (with .jpg file extension) in my e-mail inbox, on the Mail app on my iPad. Please provide a clear answer. Thanks a lot.
Can you actually see that the attachment has a .jpg extension? Some mail systems strip it off (I've seen AOL do that) which makes the attachment difficult to open.

You should really read the manual. Click Support at the top fo this page, then click Manuals.
You should be syncing to your computer regularly. Your game data is backed up when you sync.
First try a restart. This eraes nothing.
If that does not solve, then try a reset. This erases nothing.
If this fails then try a restore -
I am unable to open attachments (Word Documents, Excel file, Adobe) from my Gmail with Firefox.
I am unable to open attachments (Word Documents, Excel file, Adobe) from my Gmail with Firefox. My computer freezes when I try to open the (email attachment) file. Task Manager says "not responding".
You can respond to [email protected]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! -

I am unable to open some pictures, all I see is a blue square with a ?.
If it worked before reset preferences. Start PS and immediately hold down ctrl/alt/shift keys (alt/option/shift on mac). If fast enough you will get a reset window.

UNABLE TO OPEN FCP 6.02 PROJECT FILES AFTER INSTALLING LEOPARD!
**Unable to open FCP 6.02 project files after installing Leopard**. Tested and found that the files can be opened on another computer with OS 10.4.10, but not OS 10.5. Spoke to apple support many times, and have tried reinstalling FCP, but it didn't work.
Apple is now saying to erase my HD and reinstall from scratch. This presents a problem since i have software installed but no disc due to a move, (they are deep in offsite storage).
Anyone have this problem? Anyone know a fix?Lynne,
There is a section in the manual on the migration tool... I don't have my machine fired up right now so can't direct you to the exact page. I think a search for migration or migrate should do it.
Two other things to try:
1. There have been numerous reports that Quicktime 7.3 is what is killing older projects. According to one of the third party program makers Apple re-wrote Quicktime changing the null value to Zero from minus-one. I'm not a code junkie so can't vouch for this but the upshot would be, go back to Quicktime 7.1 or 7.2 not 7.3
2. There is a Quicktime plugin called "Perian". For lots of people it has caused numerous problems.
Look for Perian on your machine and if you find it, drag the app to the trash... re boot and try again.
Of course the ultimate solution would be to reinstall Tiger, Final Cut Studio 2 and Quicktime 7.2. So far the most stable combined setup for me and lots of others on G5 machines.
36 degrees and thunderstorms with sleet here this afternoon. The door on my storage unit is staying closed.
