When saving a new document to Volumesaux Alert Document not saved Hope this helps someone.

However, today I cant seem to open the file on my macbook (snowleopard) but I CAN open it on a PC.

What is going on I need to be able to open the file on my mac and a pc.

At first I thought it was because I am running out a memory on my mac, however I tried opening the file on a desktop mac with a lot of memory, but the same thing seems to happen.

Both are able to import Microsoft Excel files and read most of their information and arent as sensitive to codes that Microsoft may have added to the documents.

If one of them can read the document and you dont have anything more special than formulas and field formatting (i.e.

Macros) to save, see if exporting the file back to an Excel document and reopening in Excel works better.

When I say cant open I mean that I CANT OPEN THE FILE IN EXCEL.

I get a message saying that I can either see it was read only or notify, but this only happens on a desktop mac, when I try to open it on my macbook I get no message.

Excel just freezes.

I was thinking it was the size of the files but its only 10mb And yes I can search for the files and see it in my documentsusb.

HELP.

You would need to boot from some other drive to repair the boot drive (e.g., your installer dvd).

Verify is good enough to see if there are any problems with a disk.

Repair does that first itself to decide whether it has to do a repair.

After the button is clicked DU does its thing and displays its progress in the right panel and at the end tells you whether its happy with what it found or did.

I recently upgraded my OS from Tiger to Snow Leopard, so do I just pop in my Snow Leopard installation disk and then restart my computer Then do I run the Disk Utility to fix it Will I lose anything (i.e., my files, music etc) Thanks so much.

OK the language page, then ignore the installer and go to the menu bar, Utilities menu Disk Utility.

Booted from the DVD you will now be able to use the Repair Disk button to repair the HD.

Run Repair Disk again after repairs have been reported, until the green message The Volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK appears.

Then Quit DU, quit the installer and restart from Macintosh HD.

There should be no loss of data, but you should always have a backup of that anyway.

If a message appears saying DU cant repair the drive, repost here for further instructions.

Turned out Microsoft Excel didnt like the volume name where the document was stored.

I noticed that when I renamed the volume to Volumesfaux that everything worked again and changing it back to Volumesaux would consistently result in the following errors: When opening an existing document in Volumesaux Microsoft Office Excel cannot access the file.

There are several possible reasons: - The file name or path does not exist.

The file is being used by another program.

The workbook you are trying to save has the same name as a currently open workbook.
