Upgrade Caused Document Conversion - HELP!!

I bought a Mac mini brand new, when they first came out a year and some back. Then I took a job on this remote tropical island, where there is a bad dial-up network and heavy use and you tend to get kicked off every 20 minutes. So, I didn't try to do any of the Upgrades to things that have come along. Until recently that is.
I upgraded everything - took hours and hours to upload and do all the upgrading. Now I've got a big problem.
Something during the conversion has converted all of my Appleworks6 and earlier documents to "Word 1x-5x" documents! That's what Get Info says! I'm a writer. I have thousands of files on here and can't read any of them because I don't have MSWord (and an antique version at that!). Since when should I need a Microsoft product to read an Apple product file? Is Apple going to buy me a copy of MSWord? Should they? I think so!!!!!
I'm literally in the middle of the ocean, 3000 miles from Hawaii, even. Anybody have any ideas of what recourse I might have? I sure hate to lay out money for MSWord. Not that I don't like it - I was a beta tester for versions .1 to 6.0.

Hi Ali; thanx for the welcome.
Open With says "MS Word(default)" and the icon is a yellowish MSWord icon. I've been working with Macs since 1983 (yep pre-public release) and I've never seen anything this weird. Last week all those files were Appleworks icons and openable; after the upgrade they're suddenly Word files and i can't open!
Under Other, I can navigate to the Appleworks folder, but in there, the Appleworks program icon is grayed out! If I open Appleworks and then Open one of the files, Appleworks crashes. I did get an "Appleworks quit unexpectedly do you want to report this to Apple" message just now, and did send the report, so maybe in a day or so I'll get an automated message in return <grin>

Updated workspace data causes document conversion?

I have some preference data stored in the workspace database which I've recently added to. I've changed the version number and added a schema converter in the .fr file and have noticed that when opening documents saved while the old plug-in was installed they have the "[Converted]" status and need to be re-saved (using save-as) I'm assuming that ID is seeing the newer plug-in version ID and running its document conversion routine, but since only the workspace database is modified I wouldn't expect the document would actually need to be marked as converted.
This is causing some confusion and annoyance among people testing the plug-in, so I'm wondering how others deal with versioning workspace data. Do you just leave the plug-in version alone when making changes to the schema? I've tried that and it seems to work, but I'm not sure how safe it is or if it will cause problems later on. Seems that the best way to handle things might be to just store your preference data as an XML or JSON string and bypass ID's versioning system.

When you extract the data from the form it is already XML.....or it should be. I do not use ProcessFormSubmission .... there is an easier way - under Common/Form Data Integration there is an Export Data service that will take your form as input and create a document that contains your data as output. You can then use a setValue to change the doc object into an xml object (doc object on right, xml object on left). Once it is xml you will need to see what the format is so either write it out or dump it to the log. Ultimately you want to get down to the forms root node and set that and all of its children to the xfaForm variable. The xfaForm variable is a complex object that has multiple nodes beneath it. Use a setValue service to put the xml you extracted into the xfaForm Var. In the XPath editor you can expand it out and put the xml data under this node:
xfaFormVar/object/data/xdp/datasets/data
Now your xfaForm var is ready to go

The Document Conversions Launcher Service status on a SharePoint Server 2013 Web front-end server displays "Starting" but does not start or stop

I have this strange error showing up from my second Web Front End Server, "The Document Conversions Load Balancer service is stuck in starting, The status showing up "Error Starting". When I lunch the start, it runs then went back to
the same status "Error Starting" for the "Document Conversions Load Balancer Service". How can I get of rid this issue?

Hi Mannyabdon,
Based on your description, I recommend to check the things below:
1. Run the PowerShell command below to check the status of the Secure Store Service:
Get-SPServiceInstance |Where {$_.typename -like "Document Conversions Load Balancer Service"}
If it is not showing online, please stop the service first and then start it to see if the issue still occurs (the
<ServiceGUID> can be obtained obtained from the command above).
Stop the service:
Stop-SPServiceInstance -Identity <ServiceGUID>
Start the service:
Start-SPServiceInstance -Identity <ServiceGUID>
2. Check the ULS log for detailed error message.
For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS.
Thanks,
Victoria

Hi Mani,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to use Document conversion features to convert documents with images to HTML page in SharePoint 2013.
There is not an OOB way to achieve it. You can use Word to publish to a SharePoint blog which automatically uploads any images in the document. Then, you copy the html markup from the blog post and paste it into a wiki page.
In addition, for this issue, you can also use a tird party tool to achieve, like the below:

PDF's to Blackberry display "Document Conversion Failed"

We are on XI 3.1 - Blackberry's are displaying "Document Conversion Failed" when trying to open PDF documents that were emailed from the Business Objects scheduler running Webi reports. These same PDF documents can be viewed on the desktop machines using Outlook. Does anyone know of any missing software or if configuration changes are needed on the Blackeberry?
Any response would be greatly appreciated.

If this doesn't resolve it you most likely have a hardware failure. Fortunately, your phone is in warranty, so if you take it to an Apple store they will replace it.

Combined Upgrade and Unicode conversion of Sap 4.6C to ECC6.0

Hello all,
my project team intends to carry out a combined upgrade and unicode conversion of an SAP ERP 4.6C system with MDMP to ECC6.0 (no enhancement package). The system is running on Oracle 10.2.
In preparation for this upgrade, I have gone through the SAP notes 928729, 54801.
We need to get a rough estimate of the entire downtime so as to alert our end users. From the CU&UC documentation in 928729, I read up note 857081. However the program in this note cannot be used to estimate the downtime as my system is < SAP netweaver 6.20.
Is there any other SAP note or tool or program that I can use to estimate the downtime for the entire CU&UC? Thanks a lot!

Hi,
Combined upgrade depend upon number of factors like database size, resources on the server and optimization. In order to get idea of how much downtime, it will take, I would suggest you to do combined upgrade and unicode conversion on sandbox system which should be the replica of your production system. And try to optimize it. From there you can get approx. downtime required.
Also, please read combined upgrade and unicode conversion guides on http://service.sap.com/unicode@sap
Thanks

You can upgrade to Mountain Lion
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99.
If you sign into the App Store and try to purchase Mountain Lion but the App Store says your computer is not compatible then you may still be able to upgrade to Lion per the following information.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later

Pages created a random password for my document on my iPad. I have no idea what it is and I can't open my document. HELP!!!

How old is your son?
Under the Spanner in Pages there is Set Password where you create a password with hint. You really have to deliberately dig this out to do it.
Do you get a hint when you are asked for the password?
The Password is very secure, if you can't remember what it is, you will have to recreate the document.

4.7EEx1.10 to ECC6.0 upgrade and Unicode conversion

Hi Experts,
We are going to initiate the upgrade from next month onwards. Subsequently i have started preparing the plan and strategy for the same.
As our current setup is 4.7EEx110/Win 2003 R2-64 bit/Oracle 10.2.0.4.0 (Non unicode). And we have recently migrated on to this setup from WIn2k 32 bit. Also the current hardware is Unicode compatible.
With respect to strategy for achieving this Upgrade and Unicode conversion, i am planning as follows.
Step 1) Perform Unicode conversion on the current landscape (Both Export/import on the same servers)
Step 2) Setup Temporary landscape as part of Dual maintenance strategy and migrate data from the current systems to temporary systems using backup/restore method.
Step 3) Perform the SAP version upgrade on the current landscape and setup transport routes from temporary to current landscape in order to keep it in sync
Step 4) after successful upgrade, decommission the temporary landscape
Please provide your suggestions and valuable advices if there is anything wrong with my strategy and execution plan.
Regards,
Dheeraj

Hi,
Thanks. As i have already referred these notes as i am seeking advise with respect to my upgrade approach.
However i have planned to perform in the following manner.
1) Refresh Sandbox with Prod data and perform Upgrade to ECC6.0 EHP5 & subsequently Unicode conversion on the same server (Since both export & Import has to perform on the same hardware as we have recently migrated on this hardware which is Unicode compatible)
2) Setup temporary landscape for DEv & QAs and establish transport connection to Production system in order to move urgent changes
3) Keep a track of the changes which have transported during upgrade phase so that the same can be implemented in the upgraded systems i.e. Dev & QAS
4) After Sandbox Migration and signoff, we will perform Dev & QAS upgrade & unicode conversion on the same hardware (Note: Since these are running on VMware can we export the data from the upgraded system and import on to a new VM?)
5) Plan for production cutover and Upgrade the Prod system to ECC6.0 Ehp5 and then Unicode conversion. As i am planning to perform upgrade over the weekend and then Unicode conversion activity in the next weekend (Is it a right way?)
My Production setup: DB on one Physical host and CI on separate Virtual host
6) After the stabilization phase, we are planning for OS & DB upgrade as follows:
a) Windows upgrade from 2003 R2 to Windows 2008 R2
b) Oracle Upgrade from 10.2 to 11.2
If anyone thinks that there is anything wrong with my above approach and need changes then please revert.
I have one more doubt as I am going to upgrade 4.7EEx110 (WAS 620, Basis SP64) to ECC6.0 EHp5.As I presume that I can straight away upgrade from the current version to ECC6.0 Ehp5 without installing EHP. Kindly confirm
Thanks
