When I click on the converted PDF in my downloads, I receive a message saying'invalid format' Could that be because I use 'Pages' and not 'Word" If so, how can I convey PDF's to Pages?
When I click on the converted PDF n my downloads, I receive a message saying 'invalid file format'.
Could that be because I use Pages and not Word?
If so, how can I convert my PDF's to Pages so I can modify the documents?
Hi Kathy,
I'm not very familiar with Pages, but I did just read on Apple's website that it does import .docx files. What happens when you open Pages, and then choose File > Open to open the .docx files?
Best,
Sara

Macbook pro, os 9.4.1.
In iCloud preferences when I deselect an item, e.g. documents I get a message saying the info in documents will be taken off my mac and kept in iCloud. I would rather have the info on my mac and not in iCloud. How can I keep my data on my mac?My mistake, my OS is 10.9.4.
Thank you for your reply.
I guess, I really don't understand iCloud and how files are stored and where. I gather when I was asked to set it up I should have declined. Anyway, it looks like some of my files are stored in the cloud. If I shut off "documents" in the preferences it will remove those docs from my macbook, but they will remain in the cloud and I could get access to them for another computer if I set it up.
I also gather to avoid this, I have to, on a file by file basis, save them to my mac and then they will be on my mac. What I don't get, is that these files must exist on my mac because I can edit it without being connected to the internet. Maybe those files I see when disconnected from the internet are on my mac and I wouldn't be able to see cloud files unless I was connected to the internet.
My concern is that when I deselect "documents" in the iCloud preferences it warns me that those documents on my mac will be removed from my mac. I am afraid to deselect "documents' or "calendars" as a result.
If I seem confused, I am. Please don't feel obligated to reply if my message is too muddled.

Every time I restart my mac air some applications like calendar and Microsoft word automatically starts, how can I stop such applications from starting when ever I restart my mac?
One thing to check: when shutting down or restarting, there is a checkbox in the shutdown/restart dialog which asks whether you want currently open applications to open at startup.

My special characters screen for pages is running in the background no matter what I do. It randomly pops up and then goes away. I can't close it even though I have closed pages and restarted my computer. How can I stop this.
Try trashing the .plist with CharacterViewer in its name in Home/Library/Preferences. To get to Home/Library you may need to hold the option key down while you do Finder > Go.

Please help when ever I click on the store from my computer a notice comes up saying it stopped working the completly shuts itunes right down. And also my ipod touch 5th generation wont sync as well.
I have been having the same trouble since Windows 8.1 updated a week ago. I found a reply to a Windows 7 problem that temporarily works but you need to repeat it every time you open iTunes. It's the only solution I've found so far that works.

I have tried to download and run Firefox on my MAC OS 10.6.7 several times and have run into this error message every time:
"A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time". A search through the computer does not fine another copy of Firefox and there is no window open or evidence of the program open.
When I got this computer a year ago I copied the hard drive from the old computer onto the new and the old computer had a copy of Firefox on it and the program worked on that computer. It would not run on the new computer so I thought maybe it was due to the Intel chip so I deleted the program and downloaded the newest version at the time. This is when I started getting the error message and subsequent attempts have yielded the same results.
Can you be of help?See:

Hi Grandmaz5,
If you are having issues connecting to Facebook on your iPad, and you have already troubleshot the Facebook app itself, you may want to check the built-in iOS settings for Facebook; you may find the following article helpful:

I downloaded pages and numbers via iTunes on my laptop, then transferred to iPad. Software is corrupt it won't open. On the laptop it tells me the dies are corrupt. How do I download then again since the corrupt versions are in iTunes.
You can only do this via iTunes. Remove the ones in iTunes and redownload.
Note that there are different versions for iDevices and computers. They cannot be interchanged, and they must be purchased separately. -
So how can I backup again on my iPhone and the contacts remain there?
Restore from itunes backup and turn on airplane mode before they gone. Turn off contacts under settings - icloud.
turn off airplane mode. Delete icloud account. Sign back in and merge contacts. -
On top of this every time I open Photoshop this afternoon, the program freezes. I currently can not get the program closed without shutting down my laptop. I can't even minimize it on my screen.
I just discovered a fix from a couple of years ago on Apple Support:
In may case the network was already at the top of the preferred networks list.
Based of of a hint over at MacOSXhints.com, here's how I fixed this problem:
1. In the Network references pane, delete the Airport connection that does not like to reconnect.
2. Click Apply and Quit the System Prefs app.
3. Put the computer to sleep.
4. Wake the computer.
5. Go back in to the Network pref pane and re-add the Airport connection. Do not try to connect to the network at this time.
6. Click Apply and Quit the System Prefs app.
7. Use the Airport menubar app to connect to your network.
8. Verify connectivity
9. Put the computer to sleep.
10. Wake the computer.
11. Verify connectivity

Look, I have SERIOUS problems with my MacBook Pro, a computer that was given to me by Apple to replace a MacBook Pro that was defective from day one. Now this fabulous machine from Apple is totally messed up since the upgrade to Mavericks. I've talked with "Senior Advisors" until I'm blue in the face, but NOTHING fixes this machine. So can SOMEONE out there PLEASE HELP ME?
I live in rural Ireland, I cannot drive because I was in a coma at years ago (although I could drive if I had 10+ DUIs), I'm over two hours from the closest Apple Authorized Repair, I'm physical disablled and mobility impaired, and I'm terminallly ill. So from where I stand, I really don't have time to sit around and wait. It took Apple 11 months to sort out the problem with my original MacBook Pro; I don't HAVE 11 months to wait for this problem to be fixed, but I've been waiting now for over 2 months, and my death clock is ticking.
PLEASE HELP ME!!! TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE BECAUSE I'M DYING!!! Now is that clear enough for you, Apple?
Sincerely,
Kathleen Trevena-Ruane
<Personal Information Edited by Host>Have you tried to erase your drive and reinstall the OS - you should use recoery (hold Command + R keys while restarting). Since the items in the menu bar are part of the system, a clean reinstall of the system should take care of it.
As it is dangerous to post private information in a public forum, I will ask the hosts to remove it.
FWIW, we are all other users here - you are not addressing Apple.
