Could not open the xls for some reason any

When I try to open a XLS file with numbers 3.6.1 I get the error message ' cannot be opened for some reason any. "

I tried to change the type of file csv and txt but neither technique gives readable results.

I also tried to fix HD Mac (in fact a SSD) with disk utility and reboot, but that did not help either.

Thoughts?

Dick

Hi Dick,

Change the extension (.csv or .txt) is not any change in the type of file.

Assuming that, since you posted in the numbers for the Mac community and state what version 3.6.1 a number you're on a Mac (and not using iOS 8 on your iPad), you can try opening the file using LibreOffice or Apache OpenOffice. Both are free to download and use. If none of them opens the file, it is probably corrupted. If they can open the file, there may be a compatibility problem between this file and the numbers. Try registering LibreOffice or Apache OpenOffice (like a MS Excel file), then try opening thaat version saved in number.

Kind regards

Barry

  • Text-Animation: my text is under the path and not on the path (for some reason any)

    Hello

    I use after effects CC (12.2.1) on Mac Book Pro El Capitan 2013.

    I'm not able to put text on a path for animating text. It will always appear in the path. I asked different people and I never received a response, because it seems I'm the only person who has this problem.  I don't need to write much more, because it's really as simple as that. My screenshot will show my dilemma and I have not made any changes to attributes.

    Please take a look and hopefully help me with this.

    Hello Fred,.

    Thanks for this info and choosing the communities Support from Apple. I know how important is able to open all your files in numbers is for you!

    If I understand correctly, you cannot open some files of numbers even from backups, but others continue to work. To limit this problem, I would suggest starting with the following steps:

    1. first of all, run disk utility and check for questions on your hard drive, as hard drive problems can lead to situations like yours.

    Disk utility (Yosemite): a disc repair

    2. then, you can test this in a new user, to refine, if it's a question broad system or specific to your username.

  • "Could not open file for some reason any." Error message since then reinstall it.

    I have recently restored OS X from a backup, the same (current) version of the numbers and I use the same files (one document, different versions tried), but since I only get the error message "... cannot be opened for some reason any."

    I found absolutely no fix or solution floating around the web this fix in my case. I tried 3 machines, different, another user account fresh installation, conversion/dissemination/export the file, number in iOS and iCloud - nothing.

    This document contains the data value of several MONTHS of work and is encrypted password. It's just an unacceptable loss.

    Does anyone know another way to recover the data?

    If not, please give it a try, here's the document mentioned:

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/9dezibbcjvtw9sj/document.numbers.zip?DL=0

    So says "... cannot be opened for some reason any ', I'm having a very bad time...

    But If you are asked to enter the password - thank God - contact me

    There is nothing on the face of the planet to open a document from v3.6.1 numbers once you get 'Document.numbers' cannot be opened for a dialogue of reason. Be it password protected, or not makes no difference. Your only hope is to get a copy of older backup and restore. The same thing happens in the current versions of Pages v5.6.n also.

    Any other spreadsheet application would have not done this for you.

  • Download a file should implement an option to open the file or save it - for some reason any now just downloading it straight to the download folder. Why? Problem with Firefox or something else?

    Download a file would normally bring up an option to open the file with the appropriate program or save it - for some reason any now just downloading it straight to the download folder. Why? Problem with Firefox or something else? It is very frustrating - sometimes, you want the first opened file so it can be discarded or stored in a different location.

    Find the type of file in the Firefox -> Options -> Applications Panel, open its menu drop-down and select 'ask '. To reset all the actions of download, delete the mimeTypes.rdf file in your Firefox profile folder (or rename the mimeTypes.rdf X if you want to save as a backup). The file will be regenerated with all types of files, restore the default actions.

    For more information, see application Panel - set how Firefox handles different file types and change what Firefox does when you click on or download a file .

  • Satellite U405 - S2833 Fingerprint error: could not open the sensor

    Hello, I am very new to the forums so I apologize in advance if I don't give all the necessary accurate information in this thread.

    I have a Toshiba U405-S2833 and it came with the TrueSuite Access Fingerprint Software.

    I downloaded an update a few days ago, but I don't remember if it's for Vista or Toshiba. Since then, my fingerprints were all removed from the system, and when I try re - save, I get this error message "error: could not open the sensor" I can't find the material to fix the sensor manually without going through the TrueSuite software.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    I am also having the same problem.

    My boss uses a Satellite U405-2628 fingerprinting and with the sensor TrueSuite Access Manager. It worked fine, then I updated windows and it has stopped working. I was on the updates and noticed an update of TrueSuite and thought that maybe that was messed up things.

    Then there were other issues that went past me locked out of the machine (anti-virus and loss of relationship with the field... also my fault). So I decided to wipe the machine and install fresh Vista.

    I installed everything but the TrueSuite software still not able to open the sensor. After hitting my head on it, I decided enough was enough and I restored it using Toshiba recovery disks.

    It took a few hours and here I am logged in as administrator and the TrueSuite software still cannot open the sensor. I don't know what I can do, since it is to return to the factory settings.

    As the above poster said, HELP!

    Thank you.

    ... a little later...

    Well, I managed to do work, and this can be useful for some people out there since I found no easy answers. I can't guarantee anything, and it's really complicated... so here go us.

    First, I downloaded the latest update from Toshiba (util_fingerprint_27460A.exe) and nothing has worked.
    Then I uninstalled the sensor since (click right, uninstalled) Device Manager to uninstall the driver as well (it should invite you to do so)
    Then, still in the Device Manager, I scanned for new hardware and it came with my sensor. I said to look for drivers and when he could not find, I think it gave me an option for windows search for an answer... or something like that. He came back with a link to Authentec (www.authentec.com/win7update/w7wbf32.exe, I think). So I downloaded that and installed. He rose through the device under "Biometric devices" then before... I think it's under the "Personall security device" or something like that. But alas, still no luck. So I uninstalled all the device from the Device Manager (taking care of uninstalling the driver as well) and of the TrueSuite software. Then came the break I was looking for.

    Online research I came across this page... http://members.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php?action=download&driverid=1194755. I had the chance before to DriverGuide.com so I thought what the heck. It is a driver of HP for the same sensor and it is dated 2006. So I downloaded and installed. Still nothing...

    Disgusted, I thought, well let's try to install util_fingerprint_27460A.exe on top of that. So I did, restarted and I couldn't believe my eyes when he said to connect and register fingerprints not seriously. And so I did. I hope this helps people, I don't really know how the sensor I so messed up, but I'm glad it worked.

    Yet one thing... and this may be important. When I took TrueSuite first after doing all this, he told me that the storage of fingerprints was full... or something in that sense. So I clicked the button remove all traces of fingers button and it I would like to register my fingerprints. I'm starting to wonder if that was all I had to do in the first place... Guess I'll never know.

    Good luck.
