Word, Pages, and google drive not working

I'm on 10.8.5
Yesterday everything was working fine. I was taking notes in a google document. This morning when I tried continuing my notes, I was able to type two words before the tab crashed with the "aw snap. something went wrong" error. I cannot access any google drive files on either Chrome or Safari (latest versions). Chrome continues to give me the "aw snap" error, while Safari simply crashes when I try to access a google drive file. However, my drive works perfectly fine on another computer. I've spoken with google support and done all the troubleshooting they requested of me, but they are still trying to figure out what's wrong.
When I downloaded one of my drive files as a docx and tried opening it in MS Word 2011, Word crashed. Now Word crashes on startup, another thing to add to my problems. When I downloaded the same file as an .rtf and tried opening it, TextEdit crashed. (Fortunately, TextEdit still launches). I was only able to open the downloaded file if I saved it as a .txt
To fix Word, I have tried everything. I deleted the downloaded google doc. I created a new user. I deleted the plist file things, but nothing works.
I bought Pages a few years ago, and kept it zipped. I have never really used it. I unzipped it and launched it, and after a few seconds, it also crashed.
To reiterate, neither Safari nor Chrome can open any of my google drive files (all other websites I tried work fine), and a file I downloaded from my drive seems to have broken my Word, and possibly Pages.
So now, I have no working word processors (unless you count TextEdit...), which is problematic since I'm a student. Are these problems the result of malware that targets word processors? I have not recently downloaded any programs. Everything was working fine just yesterday. Aside from my computer being unable to access most of my word processing programs or word processing sites, I see nothing else wrong with it. I'm very tired and frustrated. Any help?
(ps this is my first time using apple support communities, so please forgive me if I did something wrong or my question is unclear)

I HAVE to use Google Drive at the school I teach at, because the school district has decided to use Google instead of getting a site license from Microsoft. Actually, I have figured out how to upload them: first I need to export them as a Word doc. I can read the documents I put on Google Drive on my home iMac by accessing my personal Google account, but I can't access them on my home computer when using the school email Google account. Still working on this.

Word, powerpoint and excel are not working with lion. Has anyone else had this problem

Word, Powerpoint and Excel have stopped working since downloading Lion. Has anyone else got this problem?

Which version? If it is 2004, then you are out of luck - Lion no longer supports apps written for PPC processors, only Intel. There is no solution, either go back to Snow Leopard or upgrade to a later version of Office (2008 or 2011), or switch to another bracnd (OpenOffice, iWork).

Pages and Google drive

I have uploaded Pages docs to Google Drive, but they can not be opened in Google Drive. Is there a way to do open them?

Ipad pages and google drive

I have Pages on my Ipad2 and want to move a document to Google Drive but it wont let me.
It does let me open a doucument from google drive but not save one to Google drive.
Who can help?

We have over 3,000 iPad 2s, and we give all our students a Google Apps account. Before the updated Pages came along, we would open Pages on the iPad 2, then select the square with the arrow pointing out, and select Open With… Then select Pages format, then Choose App, select Google Drive, and the Pages document would be in the Google Drive account.
NOW, when we do the same thing, Google Drive is "ZIP"ping the file. The good news is the document end up in Google Drive, the bad news is we have to unzip it when on the computer, and throw away the .zip version. Not ideal. Not sure why Google Drive (or Pages) is zipping the file though.
So, I think I answered your question, now if someone can answer mine :-)

Silverlight and google chrome not working after system update

I just did a system update and now google chrome and the silverlight plugin do not work. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling both numerous times, restarted, and checked for updates again but nothing works. What's going on?

Check compatibility with their respective vendors.

Had problem with bookmarks, history, back button and google links not working.

For the last five days i've had problems with firefox. First, i noticed that it was running incredibly slowly and then that all the links in the google search were not working. Then i noticed that neither was the history, bookmarks or back button. I went on to facebook chat to ask for help. First, I was told to reinstall firefox, which didn't work. Then i was told to do a "clean" install where you rename the old firefox folder in the programs folder so that it makes sure when it's installed that everything is new and nothing is corrupted. That didn't work either. I then disabled my antivirus software and firewall to see if that was causing the problem. It was not. Then I installed an anti-malware program to remove any adware or spywar,e which it did remove from my computer, but it didn't solve the problem. The chat person was at a loss and I don't blame him/her because so was I.
The reason I'm writing this is in case anyone else has the same problem. The only way I solved it was first by uninstalling and making sure to check the little box asking if you want all personal data and such associated with firefox also removed (which removes cookies as well) and then I finally thought to delete all the cookies from the rest of my computer also. Once all the cookies were gone and i had fully uninstalled firefox and personal data, I reinstalled it with a newly downloaded file and it is once again functioning properly. Hope this is helpful to anyone who's been ripping their hair out. :)

'''I have the same problem!!
But in my case, not just Google links.
The problem happens with all the websites links.
Please...

This item could not be crawled because the repository did not respond within the specified timeout period. Try to crawl the repository at a later time, or increase the timeout value on the Proxy and Timeout page in search administration. You might
also want to crawl this repository during off-peak usage times.

Webcam and usb drive not working--possible hardware issue?

Hello,
I recently purchased a Lenovo ideapad U510 with Windows 8. I bought it as a returned machine but the Staples employee didn't know why it had been returned and thought it was just because the buyer didn't like Windows 8. When I first set it up I kept getting an error message that my usb device was not recognized, even though I had never plugged anything in. As I was leaving the country, I dismissed the issue and decided to deal w/ it when I returned to the US, since my other usb drives worked fine.
However, later my integrated webcam stopped working as well. It worked one time when I used Skype but not after that. I checked online forums for possible solutions, and most said I needed to download an updated driver. I didn't think this was the issue b/c when I went to device manager and tried to update my driver for the easycam, it said I already had the most up-to-date driver. I have uninstalled drivers, downloaded and re-installed drivers, and even refreshed my computer, all to no avail.
Here are the error messages I receive:
In device manager>view>show hidden devices>imaging devices>Lenovo EasyCamera, device status says
Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer. (Code 45)
To fix this problem, reconnect this hardware device to the computer.
When I try to run the Bison setup: Lenovo EasyCam has not found!
When I try to run the Chicony setup: Setup failed! Please Plugin camera and install driver again!
So, I'm thinking it's not a driver issue, but I'm not a techie and don't know what else it could be. Wondering if the usb problem and webcam problem are connected. Found another forum post that said maybe the webcam is not connected to the motherboard...suggestions?
Thank you in advance for your help.

I am certain it is a hardware issue from the problems youre describing. I would contact Lenovo. They may try to have you purchase their "software" support, but don't let them. I had wifi issues and they tried to make me spend $90 because I was too lazy to figure it out on my own.
Make sure when you're calling support that you tell them that you restored to factory default and before you send your computer in, back up your data. Also tell them that it's a new computer and you do not want to pay for shipping... They will most likely comp you shipping in both directions.

No fan and disc drive not working...MacBook Pro

I have a MacBook Pro that is a little over a year old. Recently I noticed that my fan never runs and the disc drive isn't working. Is there something I can do or do I need to take it somewhere to have it looked at? Thank you.

Zyriab
It is the CD Drive. Sorry, I am not tech smart. When I try to insert a disc (CD, DVD), no matter how many times I try, it will not take it. It has worked fine in the past. I started doing research in forums, etc, and kept being led to fan issues. So I started paying attention. My laptop makes no noise at all, not on start up, not after I've had it on for hours, never. I'm assuming that means the fan isn't working. Although....you know what they say about assumptions. I kept thinking maybe I just undocked something but I'm not having any luck figuring out what's wrong.
Thank you for your time

P6N SLI Plat and floppy drive not working

System says the floppy drive works fine, but I put in a disc and it doesn't recognize it. All I get is, "Please insert disc".
Windows says that drivers are up to date.
I really need to get it working so I can do a fresh OS install with raid drivers on the floppy.
I think im just retarded, or both my floppy drives are dead... or both my floppy discs are dead.
Any ideas?
Intel 6420 C2D
P6N SLI Platinum
2x1 G.Skill 800
2x1 seagate 320's

From what I'm reading it sounds like you are able to boot to Windows at the moment right?
If so, why not skip using a floppy disk to load driver, and just slipstream your RAID drivers into a Windows install CD?
There are tutorials all over the web to do this, here's a good one:
http://www.maximumpc.com/article/How-To--Slipstream-your-XP-installation
Regarding your floppy issue, it's very possible for your floppies to be dead. Almost all of mine that I have around are toast by the time I get around to using them.
If you're dead set on using a floppy to load your RAID drivers, go buy a couple new floppies and see if you still have the same problem. If so, then you're a new $14 floppy drive away from solving your problem...

Why do u keep saying loading interrupted, and google does not work

Example trying to load Mozilla Firefox is one loading interrupted, Google say mobilitydisabled vehicles nothing happens or you get loading interrupted try again.
WHY does Mozilla-FireFox not answer these questions or is it to much to ask, or do they not care. Or is it to difficult for them.
These are not isolated cases happens very regular. Even when trying to get onto a well known web site.
Google what a waste of space it never gets you to where you wish to go.

Refer to these articles, seems like a connection issue or malware.

* [[Firefox can't load websites but other browsers can]]

Links between some pages and pdf's not working: muse

I have two sites with the same muse business catalyst name for preview. How do I create different names? Is it necessary to preview site?
I am have a lot of pages that no longer link on both sites and I cannot get pdf's to link. Please help?
erin pashelinsky

Hi Erin
I believe you have published same Muse file with 2 sites on Business Catalyst , you can update the same sites with the modifications you made in Muse.
In publish window , click on options and select the same site from drop down , publish the site and old pages will be replaced with new content that you have added in Muse.
Thanks,
Sanjit
