Word File Saving from Mac to PC

having trouble saving word file from mac to pc, when i try to save file from mac to shared PC, dialogue box does not show shared computer

This is just a WAG. Save it to the Mac and then just copy it to the PC.

    Program A had all of its parts in Program A folder. If you copied it all, you got it all. I guess now it's a more PC-like system where files for a program are scattered in many different places.
    Data and apps are stored separately.
    For many apps, the data is in relatively-simple "flat" files, like most word-processing files, PDFs, etc.  Even those sometimes change internal formats from one version of OSX to the next, so a new version of the app may not work with older versions of the files.
    Others are in folder structures, like Mail.  And sometimes those change, too, with similar results.
    Now, I only need to figure out why Time Machine backups always seem to need more space than the total space needed for all of my files. Maybe then I could get Time Machine to work.
    Time Machine doesn't keep just a single copy of the current contents of your Mac.  It keeps backups of files you've changed or deleted, too, so you can "go back in time" and see exactly what your Mac looked like at various times.  If a file is deleted or changed in error, or has somehow gotten corrupted, you have an excellent chance to recover one of those previous versions.
    That, of course, takes more space.  It varies depending on how you use your Mac, and how long you want TM to be able to keep backups, but a "rule of thumb" is that TM needs 2-3 times the space of the data it's backing-up.
    You might want to review Time Machine vs. Clones and Archives.

    Hey guys, how can i password protect my files in external hard drive? I want to access those files both from mac and windows PC!

    If you want a cross-platform solution that doesn't require the use of third-party software, use an external drive with hardware encryption. The device will have either a physical key or a numeric keypad. I don't have a specific recommendation.

  • Can't open files saved from Safari

    In SL, I have a new problem with files that are saved from Safari.
    I first noticed it with an Automator service I made, which took selected text and made a text file out of it. But I eventually discovered the problem seemed to be with Safari. Any time Safari saves a file -- if for example, I click a link and it downloads a .zip file, then there is something wrong with that file that prevents me from opening it in another app.
    When I try to open the saved file, either by double-clicking in the Downloads window or from the Finder, the target app just starts bouncing in the dock and never opens. I have to force-quit it. If the target app is already open, it switches to it but never opens the document.
    This is only for files that were saved by Safari. Other PDF's and zip's open just fine.
    And, if I manually launch the target app, and then go to Open... and navigate to the saved document, I can open it fine.
    Files saved from Safari seem to have something wrong with them. If I quit Safari, logout, or even reboot, they still refuse to open by double-clicking.
    What could be causing this?

    Reset safari
    Safari/Reset Safari
    Go to Your HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/ and remove to trash the "AdobePDFViewer.plugin".
    Open Safari and a .pdf and it should now open with Preview in a Safari/Browser window.
    If not then re download

  • Mac book pro running slow and word and excel from Mac not opening

    Mac book pro running slow and word and excel from Mac not opening

    Call it Monday morning humor.... ALL the MacBook Pro owners we see asking the same thing (more than once a day, too) are slower since 10.10.x so we can assume something. Heard the very same story with every new OS in the past decade from laptop owners, heard a lot especially with Snow Leopard back in Aug-Sept 2009.
    A new OS goes better if you do a clean install / checked Roaringapps.com for compatibility / wait for vendors to have updates
    About the only things that can be done in addition - if you have like many posting those symptoms have minimal 4GB RAM is to upgrade to 8GB+ and throw in a new 250GB+ SSD (the most recent MBP have to be bought with and cannot add RAM later).
    Even the MacBook Air 2014 though with 4GB RAM have PCIe-SSDs that helps, plus 4th gen Intel i5's and an IG of 5000 or later all help.
    Try including more details. Model year and configuration at least.

  • Converting file names from Mac to Windows.

    I am an Apple tech at a university that uses both PCs and Macs. We have found that we run into some problems when transferring a user's data from one platform to the other.
    When transferring lots of files, what do you experienced Mac techs use for safely converting file names from Mac to Windows?
    From Windows to Mac?
    We've tried NameCleaner and ended up with bad results.
    Please let me know if there is something good out there for these conversions.
    ---Timothy

    The problem looks like this:
    1. User wants to switch from Mac to Windows.
    2. We back up the data from his Mac to a server (an X-Serve RAID).
    3. We log into the server from Windows.
    4. We try to pull his data from the server.
    During this data transfer, it quits with an error stating that it can't finish copying the data. I wish I had the exact text, but I don't. It does this repeatedly, and stops on different files from different locations.
    In essence, without "cleaning" the Mac file names, data transfer to Windows cannot successfully complete. It quits on certain Mac file names. In the past, NameCleaner has worked sometimes, but now we have had some issues with NameCleaner (which don't matter in this discussion). The goal is to find a better solution than NameCleaner.

  • I am using Microsoft office 2011 for mac, publisher is not included, meanwhile I have publisher files saved from windows, is there any recommended software I can install on the mac so that I can open the files?

    How can I be able to use my Windows publisher files on my Mac computer, since Microsoft office 2011 for Mac doesn't have Publisher? What's most recommended software to use for this purpose?

    Just an FYI here Allan, and clinton.
    Version 4.0 or newer of Libre Office can open and edit Publisher files, this is fairly new, you may not have noticed it yet,
    I tested it last week for another OP, it works very well, so finally there is a Mac application that can replace Publisher.
    Here's a link to the post.
    VikingOSX deserves the credit for finding it.

  • Can't open word files sent from my 9500 to E90

    Can some one please help me,
    word documents sent to my E90 from my 9500 won't open,
    message says :Unable to open file not supported,
    It all started with data mover, Contact & Calendar entries are fine but document folders are recognised but won't open,
    Nokia suggested using drag & drop, using Pc suit
    with the 9500 connected drag all wanted files from the phone into my Pc then connect the E90 and reverse the process, files appear but I can't open them,
    Then I was told to e-mail from my Pc as an attachment,
    did'nt work either, doesn't matter how you get the files into the E90 you don't seem to be able to open them.
    So, is it possable to get word files into an E90 from a 9500
    Thank you.

    Open Word file in 9500, choose "Save as" from the Menu and you will have an option on one of the buttons at the right of the screen regarding the Format. Press that button and choose MS Word format. If you save all your Word files like this you should be able to open them on E90.
    This is from memory alone. If I was not clear enough, please let me know and I will give you more detailed instructions. Good luck.
    Me again, opened and a file in my 9500 and saved it in MS Word 97 then using Pc Suit copied it from one phone into the other, but once again I get the same message (Unable to open.. File type not supported)
    I don't know if all E90's come with the same programs pre-loaded, in mine I have a program entitled Quick Office in which it says you can open and manipulate Word files along with Excel and also Lotus Notes but first you have to purchase and download software from Nokia to activate it,
    I have found that if I go into Quick Office and write a document in word then save it, I get the same message as above when I try to open it,
    As I said in my previous message, I suspect I will have to purchase the Quick Office software from Nokia,
    I look forward to hearing your thoughts,
    Kind Regards.

  • Since upgrading to OSX Yosemite cannot open word files downloaded from email.

    I have recently installed OSX Yosemite on my late 2010 macbook air. Since upgrading I have been unable to open files in Word that I have downloaded from my email. Old word files seem to work fine. My university has given faculty access to "Office 365" and that is what I use for my email. However whenever I try and download a word file from my email the computer opens word for a second - I can see the first page of the document - and then immediately closes. This happens regardless of whether or not I open the file from my computer in my desktop or in my downloads folder, or just download another copy from my email. The word file works fine on another windows computer, it's only on this mac that Office 2011 crashes every time I try and open this new file. Please advise?

    A web site for the community I live in. I can get into the site but when I try to open a PDF file all I get is a grey screen. I can open PDF files from mail, and other sites.

  • File Transfer from mac to PC... help?

    I am trying to transfer files from my G4 OSX 10.2 to a pc windows 7.  They are mostly Jpg images and some word & excel docs.  Do I need conversion software or just copy over via my usb?  Thanks

    Simply copy the files on a windows formatted (FAT32) usb stick from mac to pc. If you have office installed on your pc it works like a charm.

  • I was informed i need to purchase standard 11 or standard 12 (?) in order to make word files converted from pdf editable. how do i do this?

    i was informed i need to purchase standard 11 or standard 12 from adobe in order to make files converted from pdf to word using the recently bought and installed adobe pdf exporter file. how/where do i do this?

    Currently the Acrobat version is "XI" (no "12").
    With Acrobat XI installed:
    "File - Save As Other"  --- from here you pick the supported file format for the export.
    If a PDF has content that is the output of a scanner then that output (as is the case for All scanners' output) is a picture of text and not real text.
    During an export all that can be processed is the picture. As a picture of text is not text it is understandable why Word (or other word processors) cannot edit the content.
    So, for such, prior to export run Acrobat's OCR and save.
    The export will be of the OCR content.
    Do expect to do clean of the text, spelling, punctuation, layout etc.
    This may be minor. This may be major. But, there will be some.
    Adobe as some online subscription services that can take a "proper" PDF (NOT all are eh) and export to supported file formats.
    Two are "ExportPDF" and "PDF Pack".
    Be well...

    Hi Peter,
    I'm guessing it might have been a network corruption problem. She brought in her laptop, we made another .idml file and loaded it to a USB stick, then transferred it to my computer. The file opened just fine. And yes, she had pasted all her images, so we have her collecting the bits and pieces for me to review and relink everything. I believe I have the patch, but will double-check. Thanks!

  • Files with embedded profiles shown as untagged in Bridge.Bridge only right about files saved from PS

    Photoshop works perfectly when saving files as .psds etc. or PDF-Standards (PDF-X etc.), embedding the profiles correctly. However, InDesign and Illustrator do not embed any colour profiles in .pdfs, in their native formats (.indd and .ai) or any other format apart from .jpg.
    Why is Photoshop working perfectly, yet AI and INDD are not? Everything was installed at the same time, and the colour management settings are all synchronised in bridge.
    All I want to be able to do is save as one of the default PDF-X settings (via File > Save As in Illustrator), but as I said, saving as the same PDF-X standard across all 3 programs only embeds the profile if saved from Photoshop. I don’t have the slightest clue why Photshop is the only one that works.
    Although, according to this post, which seems very similar to my question, it might be Adobe Brdige CS5 that is wrong: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3565578
    Because I have files that Bridge shows as untagged, which upon opening do in fact have an embedded colour profile. Ugh, this stuff is confusing!

    Thanks so much for your help, I didn't know any of those things. Very interesting.
    In regards to Photoshop rasterizing PDFs, what exactly are the ramifications of that? A PDF-X saved from Photoshop is still fine to send to the print press, right?
    So far, all the print work I do I design in the colour space specified by my printer, then save as a PDF-X1a (which is also what they specify), by doing 'Save As' in Illlustrator. I also name the file with the colour space, and my printer has not had any problems with this.
    The reason I'm asking about colour management, is that I may start expanding into the area of designing adverts for newspapers and magazines, and this involves different colour spaces. And newspapers etc. around here won't be as fussy about colour management as my print-press, which is a very good print company. So it would be better if I knew they were getting PDFs from me with embedded colour profiles.
    I think the situation is that when I save things with embedded profiles, that it does in fact work, despite what Bridge, Illustrator and InDesign say. I have .ai files that show up in Bridge as untagged, but when opened in Illustrator, do indeed have an embedded colour profile.
    It's very confusing to know what's going on.
    A rather non-technical workaround, which alot of people seem to use, is just designing the file in the correct colour space, saving the file in that colour space, naming the file with that colour space, and then when it gets to the printer/magazine/newspaper etc. hoping that (A) there is colour profile data in the file that people can see at the destination or (B) the people at the destination know from the file name that you designed it in the correct space, and so they just Assign Profile at their end, and all is well.
    I mean, what's the alternative, I can't suddenly stop using Illustrator and InDesign, and doing ALL my work in Photoshop, just because of what Bridge says!
