Why can't I open some word docs on the iPad2?

Someone at my work has an iPad2. He has a problem of not able to open some word docs. Does anyone reconize this and what is the solution? Thank you.

Is there an app installed that's capable of reading Word and other Office files such as QuickOffice or DocsToGo?

  • Why can't I open some of my documents on Pages even though I created them all on the same IPad with the same Pages ap?

    Why can't I open some of my documents on Pages even though I created them all on the same IPad with the same Pages ap?

    I think I know the problem because I've had it myself. I didn't upgrade iWorks on my iPad, but after Apple made changes to iCloud (concurrent with Mavericks) any docs passing through it were modified and made unreadable. Even though, as you say, they were created on my iPad using the previous version of iOS Pages, which I didn't upgrade.
    iCloud is the culprit, if your iPad settings had iCloud>Documents & Data enabled, the docs were modified and disabled in the cloud.
    I made a further mistake. After I saw this happening, I didn't think to turn off auto updates, and Apple pushed the new version of iOS Pages onto my iPad. The result was that ALL my docs disappeared from the iPad, and from iCloud.com also. I have not been able to recover them.
    I've been talking to the Pages engineering team about it. If they come up with an answer, I'll post it here. Meanwhile, get those older files backed up somewhere safe if you can.

  • Why can I not open some attached emailed pdf files?

    PLEASE HELP ME! I HAVE TO OPEN THESE FILES MY BUSINESS DEPENDS ON IT! why can I not open some attached pdf files and others are ok?

    PDF files are extremely reliable. You may have a software issue. I have the problem on 2 identical systems with the exact same specs. The problem occurs at the same exact interval. It may be a windows update. We have had to re-install software form the DVD in each instance. This fixes it for awhile and then it recoccurs. Adobe acts as if they have never heard of the problem...imagine that. I'm the only one with th problem.
    This is happens with CS6 volume lic product.
    If you dont own Adobe product it will be even more difficult to find and answer as the reader is used my so many people.
    We know we have the problem again when we double click opn a PDF and nothing happens. SOme have reported that reloading does not fix the problem.
    Wish I could help you. I am looking for answers to this issue right now and phone support is a 30 minute wait.
    Very frustrating.

  • Why can't i open a word document on my pad

    why can't i open a word document on my pad?  I used to be able to but now I can't.  Is there a setting that I can change?

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

  • Why can't I open my numbers docs after upgrade to 3.0?

    why can't I open my numbers docs after upgrade to 3.0?  I have downloaded Maverick.  I had the same problem with Pages at first.  Is there any way to get my spreadsheets back?  I'm nervous about upgrades anymore.

    If you recently updated to Mavericks and updated the Numbers to  3.0 then it is likely you are trying to open a Numbers 3.0 file with Numbers 2.3.
    Numbers 2.3                              Numbers 3.0
    Be sure you are careful about which version you are launching and using to open files.  If you want to be able to open a file in Numbers 2.3 then you should continue using Numbers 2.3 (which is located in the folder "/Applications/iWork '09")
    If you already opened a Numbers file in 3.0 and saved if but want to open in 2.3 you can export from Numbers 3.0 by using the menu item "File > Export To > Numbers '09..."

  • Why can't I open some cascaded windows (on XP)?

    When I click on cascaded windows, some cascaded windows don't display/open, and some do...no pattern is evident from memory, and I can't open the problem cascades (which each have multiple tabs) to examine why they might not be opening. First time this has occurred in years of Firefox use--typically cascaded windows have displayed and minimized very reliably. Using Firefox 7, all plug-ins show as up-to-date, fully updated XP. Can you help? Thanks, James

    I have XP sp3. Cascaded windows are obviously less than full screen, else there would not be room to cascade them. When I left click on one it opens, or in fact is already open and it comes to the foreground in its existing position.
    If the window happens to be a Firefox Window, then that may contain multiple tabs.
    I am not sure I understand what change you have discovered.

  • Why can't I open my Pages doc on my desktop?

    I created a flyer last week and put it on my iMac desktop. I tried to open it this morning to print it out but a window came up saying I needed to update to the latest version of Pages. When I clicked Learn More, it took me to a page where I would have to buy it for $19.99. Yesterday I updated to the latest OS on my iPhone. I'm pretty sure it is synchronized with my Mac. Would that have screwed this up?
    My techie told me to check for more than one Pages in Applications but only one is there.
    Any help is very much appreciated.
    Thank you.

    You have 2 versions of Pages (or Numbers, or Keynote) on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
    Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

  • Why can I not open some previous documents in Pages?

  • Why can't I open some Pdf files with Acrobat Beta?

    I am using Acrobat.com Beta,and I don't have too many problems with converting to Pdf files, but opening some files that are already Pdf is does not work.I am told to download them ,and afterwards Itry to open them without success.Is there an answer out there?

    I'm sorry you're having trouble.Special PDF files such as PDF portfolios or secured PDF files or password protected source files cannot be previewed on Acrobat.com.
    Please note that not being able to preview a file should not interfere with the successful viewing of the file once downloaded.
    Are you able to open and view PDFs on your desktop? What happens if you try to download the file from Acrobat.com in a different browser?

  • Why can I not open a attachment that has the suffix .mpe?

    A friend and I both received an email with an attachment that has the suffix .mpe.  When I try to open it I get a message that Quicktime can not open the file- that it is in a format that Quicktime doesn't understand.  I wrote both the friend and the sender and they say their machines open the attachment.  If I drag the attachment to my desktop and change the suffix to .mpeg I can open the file.
    I don't know if it is relevant, but they are both using mountain lion and I am using snow leopard.
    Is there a logical explanation for my inability to open the .mpe attachment?
    Thanks
    Dave

    I am hesitant to believe that the reason they can open the file and I can't is because they are running mountain lion and I am not.  It would seem to me that Quicktime is Quicktime no matter which operating system one is using, or...?
    Incorrect. It's not so much the system itself, but rather the QT structure embedded in the OS together with the different player apps. They are probably running QT X v10.2 (603.6) while you are likely using QT X v10.0 (131) and there have been some major changes between the two during the interim. E.g., try playing "muxed" MPEG-2/AC3 content to see the difference in audio support between OS v10.6.8/QT X v10.0 and OS v10.8.2/QT X v10.2. Another major change was the disabling of legacy codecs—they're probably still enabled on your system but disabled by default on their systems unless they re-enabled them. To say the least, QT is constantly changing and that is why so many people are here trying to find out why something works or doesn't work in one instance but is totally backwards following a certain OS upgrade or app/security update.

  • Why can I only open DAQ assistant properties using the windiws profile I registered labview on?

    I have Labview 7.1 installed on Windows 2000. When generating block diagrams for codes, the properties dialog box for the daq assistant can only be opened when logged into our system on the profile originally used to install the software or when logged in as administrator. All other properties dialog boxes open under any user profile.

    I do not use Windows 2000, but I expect that the folder in which this function is held does not have a 'Full Control' access setting for all users.
    See if you can change the folder profile to allow access and full control to all users.
    Hope this helps.
