Help! Why 'Save' did not work in Word 2008? (Sudden compatibility problem?)

This may be a matter of Microsoft, but I couldn't find an answer on Microsoft, and I see that sometimes Word questions get addressed here - I'm really desperate, so thanks for any help out there!  For my actual questions, scroll down.

SITUATION:

Yesterday I plugged my Macbook (13 "early 2006) to a"certified refurbished"card I bought it in case I ever needed replacement.  This morning, my speakers Logitech from emitting a buzzing, but it disappeared when I disconnected the.  Then after that I had worked for about 20 minutes, Word for Mac 2008 started to work very slowly.  Fortunately (I thought), I have always set Word to register automatically once per minute and had saved the document several times manually anyway.

Don't know what was going on, I saved the doc once and tried to quit Word normally, but everything was so slow that I knew I was in trouble.  I couldn't get to "Force quit" in the Finder or get the slider to make a restart (the cursor moved but Finder did not), so finally I forced a stoppage.

When the computer has restarted, I was hoping that at least if the document had not been recorded when I pressed on congratulate + S, I could get it back to automatic recovery.  However, when I open the document again, not only had not he been saved, but nothing of all the work I had done since starting to work 20 minutes earlier had been saved or (although I definitely checked him at least 4 times, including just before trying to quit smoking).  In addition, the 2008 Auto Recovery folder is now empty.  Other Office programs that I use seem to work normally.

I have copies of what I started with (I save to Dropbox on a stick every time I stopped to work and every night with SuperDuper/passport), so it was not a disaster, except that I really want to recover the work I've done.  I went into the preferences of Word and saw that "Autosave" was always "every minute" but "Always make a backup copy of" has been disabled, so I checked it - but of course will not recover my lost files.  I then went to the typed Word document something again, click Save (File menu this time), you leave the file and reopened; the change I had made had been recorded. If that really works, but I fear even saved manual can stop working!

QUESTIONS:

1. is it possible to locate and recover at least one of the previous versions I saved?  (Hopefully there is a simple explanation; "I'm a kind of a technodunce!)

2. where did you all documents Word 2008 AutoRecovery go who were supposed to be in the folder Microsoft Data?

3. can you Word 2008 suddenly became incompatible with OS 10.6.8? Or could the new adapter did BONES 10.6.8 (Word, Finder, etc.) crash AND destroyed existing AutoRecover documents?  (I had not looked into the record of automatic recovery for a while, but I'm sure there are a few in there!)

4. where are all these "Works Word files" I always saw? Don't know what they were for, but I can't now.

5. Why does Word not only disappear all the existing documents of ASR, but also stop save the custom keyboard + S?

Thank you very much for any suggestions on these questions (1 and 2, in particular!).

If the problems started after you connected to the adapter, try this disconnection and test.

  • The myfitnesspal website is most compatible with you? It will not connect, but works with all other browsers. I did help out. Did not work.

    Yesterday, I had problems with the Myfitnesspal.comwebsite. I have a tab set to open automatically when I start the browser every day. I could not connect any information in the site, so I tried a log off and log in. It doesn't let me log on to the site. I contacted, myfitnesspal and we worked through many steps in troubleshooting. I also tried all the steps of troubleshooting your site. I even made a full stop and start my computer. Nothing has solved this problem. I had the same problem with a couple of store that I like to go. The shop site work finally after more than six months of frustration. Myfitnesspal works on all other browsers. So with everything which has been tried and done, the problem seems to be your side somewhere. I'm running Windows 7 Professional 32 bit.

    I really hope that this could be solved because the site appears better on your browser. If you have any questions, feel free to send me an email.

    Thank you for what you can do about it, and for your time.

    Hello.

    I used to have this problem with Firefox only for some time. I was frustrated beyond. MyFitnessPal is 100% compatible with Firefox, however, some extension (type of) can cause significant headaches. I hope that this fix also helps.

    Do you by chance the https everywhere extension installed? It's a great add-on and I strongly recommend using it, however, unless you "disable" its use with MyFitnessPal, you will not be able to connect to your account, add food, weight update, see graphics, etc..

    So don't panic. Your question is likely to be what I had as well. I just went in the https everywhere extension and where it says "MyFitnessPal" with a checkmark (saying it is ACTIVE for the site), I simply clicked to disable the add-on for a site.

    Simple and it works instantly. I hope it does for you too! If you do not have this add-on so it is probably related to some thing similar so good luck to you!

  • Why Skype did not work for the last 36 hours?

    Is your login on Skype online status? The status icon next to your name should be green with a white check mark inside.

  • Re: 8 GB Ram did NOT work in the Qosmio X 300 - 14 p

    Hello

    I wanted to spend my Qosmio X 300 - 14 p of Ram of 4 GB (2 x 2 GB) up to 8 GB (2 x 4 GB).

    I ordered a fitting 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) the value of Atelco, where this set of 8 GB costs 155,-Euro
    (while in the shops in thoshiba 4 GB is more than 300, - means 8 GB more than 600,-, ridiculous). :

    I ordered this one:
    8 GB - Kit Corsair ValueSelect SO-DIMM PC3 - 8500S CL7

    This was exactly the necessary RAM, 2 x 2 GB, still are the same.

    PROBLEM:
    the x 300 wouldn't start when 8 GB of ram are connected
    (same tzhen does not start, screen stays black and nothing happens (you don't hear departure of fans and hard drives etc.)).

    the merchant first thought, the qosmio is reserved to the maximum of 4 GB completely, but I was able to convince him that this is not true.
    then he assumed "branding" (only some modules work).

    but it was also not true, because the two modules to 4 GB worked when connected only.
    the two modules worked in places, housing upper and lower.

    even weirder: I could plugin 1 x 4 GB and 1 x 2 GB and it would start perfectly and appear 6 GB (6144 MB).
    He has also worked in any combination (any module in any location).

    My bios is 2.10, the latest toshiba provides.

    the dealer said the corsair modules are good modules that work everywhere else, and as we have seen, only two of them worked (and in the combination of 6 GB: 1 x 4 GB + 1 x 2 GB).

    the question now is: WHY it did not work with 8 GB (2 x 4 GB).
    ================================================

    every time we tried, screen remained black and nothing happened, qosmio was dead.

    We also have not found any bios setting, as the manual does not say something like that.

    someone has an idea what is the reason and
    what I could do to get 8 GB to work in X 300 - 14 p (PQ32E...)?

    both modules where the good, the two worked alone in any accommodation, only two 4 GB modules would not work either.

    BTW., it was packed like a 8 GB SET (in modules of 2 x 4 GB), they had the same series and were made to work together.

    Finally, we were out of ideas.

    is this a known issue?
    is there a tweak or workaround?

    I want my 8 GB, what can I do to make it work?

    everyone there uses the x 300 - 14 p with 8 GB (or even another 300 x)?

    help appreciated.

    Thank you

    q3u

    It is not just to write this review in your last posting. You should be happy that Akuma has spent his time chatting with you and try to offer an own opinion.

    If you want the real answer contact Toshiba service and clarify this point with the professionals. If you n t as offered here answers, maybe you'll like have professional opinion and exact explanation, what can be the problem.

    Is that each RAM module will not work with every model laptop and there is a problem of cheap product and problem is compatibility.
    Many people have reported that in the past, report you it now and I do not know in the future, we will have several similar messages here.

    So, what's your problem now?
    You want to have good workbook or you are focused on saving your money?

    I checked the specification for the Qosmio x 300 - 14 p and you can confirm that you can improve up to 8 GB. Toshiba recommends using 4 GB modules compatible with the PA3377U-1M4G part number. This module has been tested and it will work. You can also buy the Kingston high quality module. It also works.

    To be honest, I never heard of Corsair. I only use Kingston.

  • moving data from Thunderbird to a new computer did not work - help, please!

    I - I hope! -followed all instructions Support of Thunderbird on moving a profile from one computer to another with a different OS (save a copy of the profile of the first computer file, download and install TB on the new computer, find the 'Profile' folder and then either paste the contents of the old profile file in the new profile file [thus overwrite the latter]) then open TB... but it didn't work.

    I then tried the same thing, but with a slightly different method: I copied the name of the new profile file, he has given the profile of the old computer file, then renamed the new file profile and pasted the old profile file - now with the new designation - in the new directory... which also did not work.

    I spent a few hours trying to get this to work and am almost to the point of giving up on tuberculosis as an e-mail.

    Any help would be welcome!

    Hi, Matt;

    Thank you for your continued support - I appreciate it!

    Yesterday, I downloaded the command-line tool dbx to eml unless you had kindly recommended (at http://code.google.com/p/undbx/ ), and, as I had supposed, its function is to do what OE itself can only do by email - that is, convert a .dbx .eml format - but do it by folder, records forever, which is much more elegant.

    The tool dbx to eml was very easy to download and use, and I could ask him to convert all my files at once (which is equivalent to more than 50 records and hundreds of emails). He did a great job, and I was able to identify the location of the output directory that results anywhere I wanted.

    Because the tool dbx to eml records records converted to any specified location, one can then import them into Thunderbird Thunderbird either on the same or another computer.

    I wanted to spend all my email OE to a new computer (which involves a passage from XP to Windows 7), and, in my case, it was easy to do because I have two computers connected by a network (intranet) data drives: after you convert all the OE dbx eml files, I went to my new computer to Thunderbird instance and , using the add-on for Thunderbird Import-ExportTools (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools/), I simply imported saved eml files, one at a time. It has worked flawlessly.

    In a situation in which two computers were not connected by a network, we could easily save the eml on a USB output directory and have computer of the new Thunderbird import eml from this location.

    I would also add that this dbx to eml command-line tool is supposed to also function as a current backup utility: it begs for find and convert new files later in OE, and it only will not do, but is also their corresponding folders in the original output folder, if they exist from a previous operation.

    I still have to import all my newly created on my Windows 7 Thunderbird eml files, but - so far - it seems like it should work smoothly.

    Based on the different methods I did research - and the few that I actually tried - has my reviews, so far, is that using the tool of command line without dbx-to-eml, at http://code.google.com/p/undbx/ , is the way simpler and more reliable to move files from email Outlook Express - within their corresponding e-mail folders - to Thunderbird , either the same or different computers.

    It would be nice if Mozilla could try this method for themselves, and - if they are to find it as infallible, as I - promote this as one of the first methods to use to move electronic mail Outlook Express to Thunderbird. It others will save a lot of time and frustration.

    Matt - your kind and generous support made it happen: thanks!

    I am running Windows 7 and noticed that Windows updates did not work. The parameters are defined for the update every day. When I went to update manually returned an error WindowsUpdate_80070017.  MSFT site was no help. Any recommendations?

    Since neither updates Jan - 10 have installed, I'm going to hand you Support MS in the hope that they can resolve the problem. See below.

    That being said, is an interpretation of the 80070017 - cyclic redundancy check error "a device attached to the system does not work," which suggests that a hardware problem might be the cause of the error (although I must say that it is a very low possibility in this case).

    Hello MakMeHappy,

    Thank you for using the Microsoft answers Forum

    We want to assure you that Magentic is compatible with Windows Vista. I downloaded this background screen program on my laptop but got errors repeated that he could not install. You are using a version of this software which is known to be compatible with Windows Vista? Is there an another Vista machine that you tried this software and it worked? Are there errors that either Vista or the Magentic software gives which would give us more information as to why it does not work. Have you contacted Magentic support to ask if the software is compatible or if they have a version that will work correctly on Windows Vista?

    Additional information you can provide on this problem would be useful.
