Cannot open .odc files created by another user - Unexpected error

I have exported an .odc file from Excel into a shared Data Connection Library. The connection file works fine for myself and the data refreshes, however when another user tries to either open the .odc file direct from the Library or refresh
the data from the excel file they receive an error.
I have checked the Sharepoint permissions and all the users attempting to access the connection file have the same as myself. The library has also been saved as a Trusted Location by each user and the Excel Services Authentication when the .odc
file was created was set as the standard Windows Authentication.
I asked a user to create another .odc file for the same data and they were able to save this into the connection library. However the same error occurs when I try to access this new file. The error I recieve is 'An unexpected error has occured. Changes to
your data cannot be saved'. I can open the connection files that I have created but not ones that others have.
I am only an end user so I don't have access to Central Administraion to configure the Unattended Account in the Excel Service Administration page as suggested in another post.
So is there any other way around this issue?
Thanks.

Hi,
An ODC file is just a txt file and can be opened with notepad to edit. A Data Connection Library needs to be Trusted via Central Administration, Manage Service Applications, Excel Services Application, Trusted Data Connection Libraries, Click Add Trusted
Data Connection Library. However, you should still be able to open someone else's ODC file unless its been saved as a draft?

Please help me in solving the same

HI,
Thanks for the response.
I am really tensed for the same...
Actually the error occurs in the following case:
1. I am creating a Parent folder in robohelp with the name ABC..
2. Next Under ABC i have created 2 separate folders say XYZ and EFG.
3. Under XYZ i have created various Topics say 2 or 3.
4. Under EFG i have created various Topics say 7 or 8.
5. Now, i have created a TOC with name for ABC (Parent Folder.)
6. Next i have dragged and dropped my two sub folders that i have created under ABC in Project Set up wizard that is XYZ and EFG, in order to generate the webhelp first and then the CHM file fo rthe same.
7. Webhelp is successfully getting generated.
8. But when i convert the Webhelp to CHM Converter, after few seconds the robohelp gets halt and it shuts up the robohelp, showing a message dialog box that the Adobe Robohelp 11 is Troubleshooting for the error, the Windows manager will get back to you..Someting like this, the .CHM file for the same gets generated on the described path, but when i click on it, it does not open and shows the error as "Cannot open file: mk:@MSITStore: C:\\Users\..\Desktop\filename.chm".
Please help me in sorting the above issue.
According to me:
I think i am Lacking in the two things:
1. How to link all the topics with the parent folder.
2. How to Merge the projects.
Can you please provide me the link where i can get tutorial to create a TOC for multiple files in a same TOC and to generate a chm for them.
Actually for single project folder i have worked successfully. But, its first time i have to create a chm with lot many sub folders in it, as like one create a book.

I am unable to open PDF files created from another PGM.

Is there an ADOBE pgm that will properly read in PDF files created from another pgm and convert them to ADOBE PDF so they do not error when they are opened to be viewed by ADOBE pgm?

There is no way to know all the different scan/fax/pdf printers that are used to make the original PDFs...
CAD-KAS PDF Editor 2.6 is used to edit the files
doPDF 5 is used to modify pdf file.
Interesting, I can use the free CAD-KAS PDF reader to open & read the PDF file that the ADOBE XI reader
gives me the above error message.

CC cannot open a file created in latest version

I subscribe to CC. I tried to open a file from a client. I got a message saying I couldn't open it "because it was saved with a newer version of Adobe InDesign CC (9.1)". I hit the update button in InDesign multiple times and no updates for InDesign appear. I check my (PC) version and it is 8.0.2. My question is whether since my client uses a Mac is it possible that Adobe has a newer version(9.1)available for Mac which then cannot be opened on the newest PC (8.0.2) version?
If that guess is wrong, does anyone have any idea what might be the problem?

version 8.x is CS6... download the CS6 CC exchange app.
wait a min: thats something else

I am told I cannot open my Itunes account because another user has it open.

How can I open the Itunes account when am the only user and don't know of another user on my account?

Your account might of been hacked, or it could of been an error. Try signing in again later, and if that still there, contact apple, or at last resort, you could make a new apple ID.
Hope this helps.

I cannot open many files created in CS5 into CS4

How do I overcome that

In each case I created a CS5 file and saved all its layers as .psd. I then flattened the file and saved it as .jpg. These files appear in windows explorer. When I load CS5 and click File/Open the window shows those files. But when I load CS4 and click File/Open the window showing the contents of that same folder does not include some of those files whether "Files of type" is set at psd, jpg, or all formats. If, however, I go to that folder that has the file using Windows Explorer, right click on it, and tell it to open with CS4 it does open in CS4. Hold on a sec. I just discovered something. The folder contains some files which are modifications of original files which have the same name as the original but with v2 or v3 or v4 appended to the name. It is those which do not show up when I load CS4 and click on File/Open. Curiouser and curiouser. Any ideas?

"You cannot open the application "itunes" because another user has it open" I'm the only user

Before you ask, no, I don't have more than one user account.
I have nothing running that would be using itunes either, it just won't allow me to open itunes.
I even went to the task manager to see if it was somehow open elsewhere, and it's not.
I can restart my computer and it'll work the first time to open, but not after that, even though like I said, it isn't running period.

dcwdcw:
The solution to your problem is to close the other user's copy of iTunes, so that you are only using one copy of iTunes at any time. As long as you have separate user accounts, your nephew's iTunes and everything in it will be separate.
I assume the problem is that having two copies of iTunes open at the same time violates the licence to use iTunes which, in common with "paid for" software, usually has the restriction that you can only use one copy at a time unless you have a _multiple user_ licence.
Of course it's a bit silly - iTunes is free, but I suspect that's what the problem is.
The original poster has a different problem though, but I don't understand ATV because I don't have it, which is why I haven't been able to help the OP. Hopefully, someone else can.

Hello and HELP! Over the years I have saved Invoices in my Documents. I have just tried to open them and all I am getting is " cannot be opened, Invoice**** is used by another user, do you want to make a copy?" That's on all my invoices.

Can someone help please.
I have just "lost" ( cannot open) all my saved Invoices in the Document folder. All I am getting is " cannot open, Invoice ** is used bey another user, do you want to make copy? " That doesn't work either. I can't get anything on the time capsule either. How can I reset to an earlier time? Or what can I do?
Thank you

Did you recently reinstall the OS then copy all your files back over? Do a Get info on one of the documents and see if your current UserName is listed and has Read & Write permissions. If not select the Documents folder and check that for Read & Write permissions for your UserName. If it doesn't have R & W permissions Add it so it does.

Can't open DNG files created with Mac CS5 downloader in Mac CS4 Photoshop

I recently installed CS5 on my mac but I kept CS4 installed as well. I notice that I cannot open DNG files created with CS5 in Photoshop CS4. Bridge CS4 shows the files only as icons - no image thumbnails. I am able to open these same files on a Windows version of CS4. Is there some plugin for my mac CS4 that will enable me to access the DNG files created with CS5? Is there a way to use my CS5 downloader when converting my raw files from my camera to DNG files that will make them compatiple with PS and Bridge CS4?

Well, yes...but you'll need to modify your DNG Converter prefs to allow for that. You''ll need a recent (ideally current DNG Converter 6.4.1 or above) and click on the DNG Converter preferences and select the correct DNG Converter options. Check DNG Converter 6.4.1 (the current version) and click on "Change Preferences" to be sure select Camera Raw 5.4 and later then make sure CS4 is updated to ACR 5.7 (which is the last version of ACR for CS4) However, the changes made to ACR 6.x really should be adopted since IQ for ACR 6.4.x is a lot better...

Acrobat cannot open this file

Hi-
While trying to generate or open pdf files in the last 24 hours, I've received this message:
"Acrobat cannot open this file while printing another document." Then it lists the name of the pdf file I'm trying to open.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Looks like this was linked to the way we were streaming PDF to the browser. Not sure what was fixed by the developer on that sequence, but it is working fine now.

I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can using another Viewer

I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can open it if using Google PDF viewer or another viewer. The Adobe reader gives the error "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired" when I try to open the file. The version of Adobe Reader is 10.1.7, however I have tried other versions and they all fail the same way. I have tested on a number of different PC's in different networks and all fail using Adobe Reader but work using alternate viewer. Also the PC's will open a PDF from any other source.

Newer Reader versions are more strict than older versions (and other PDF viewers). If certain minimum requirements are not met, Reader will tell you that the PDF is damaged. This can happen when a document was created with software that does not adhere to PDF standards, or when the file was damaged during a download or email transmission.
You should contact the creator of these PDFs.

Help - "Acrobat is being used by another application and cannot open PDF files until the other application is closed."

Hello,
I searched this site and google for this error terminology and come up dry. I support a user who has been for years using Acrobat 5 (yes, I know...) to read files in a client DB program, as well as other PDF files on their PC. In the last week or so, they have started gatting this error "Acrobat is being used by another application and cannot open PDF files until the other application is closed." any time they attempt to open a PDF file attached to an email (via Outlook).
It is my understanding that they cannot upgrade to a newer version of Acrobat because of limitations of their client software, but had not previously had any issues viewing PDF notes from the DB, and PDF attachments in their email.
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing, as well as tried using Adobe Reader 7 & 9 in conjunction with Acrobat to try to get around this issue, but have not been successful.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jesse

I don't have an answer to your technical problem. The product I assume is Acrobat that you are talking about (based on the post title), Adobe is the company name. This is a good place to ask questions on Acrobat if folks can figure out what you are talking about. They will ask for the product version number (like AA9.3.3), operating system, and other applications if appropriate. Also, just what you are doing that generates the message.
As for Adobe, you are not likely to get an answer from them here in the user forum. You will be lucky if you can get an answer if you can contact them and not be on hold for more than an hour (sorry, this is why a lot of folks end up in the forum).
So, to help others try to answer your question, what are the products and versions involved? What OS? What are you doing when the message comes up.

I cannot afford to upgrade my computer and sw from xp. How do I open older files created in InDesign CS2

I cannot afford to upgrade my computer and sw from xp.
How do I open older files created in InDesign CS 2.
The error code it telling me the plug ins have been disabled.
Someone tell me this is a message about the newer version that has not been installed on my computer.
I

If you plan on collaborating with other users who have progressed with the technology you are gong to have to upgrade. There is simply no way any longer to continue with XP and CS2 except in isolation.

Getting error "Cannot open the file "*****.INDD". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application."

How to fix this problem
"Cannot open the file "*****.INDD". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application."

When I have seen this message it is either when I try to open a document with an older version of Indesign E.g. an indesign 2014 document with Indesign CC.
The other time I have seen it is to open an Indesign CC document with Indesign 2014 which does not have Mindsuite - a plugin I use. Mindsuite, as yet, has not upgrade the plugin for Indesign 2014 therefore it recognises that a the document was created withe a plugin that the 2014 version does not have installed.
I believe your problem will be something like that.

Creating PDF through Adobe PDF print - Cannot open this file?

Hello!
I have a user who I recently installed Acrobat X on their machine. They are in a program called DSS and he when he goes to file --> Print and then selects Adobe PDF he gets errors when converting a map into a pdf. It shows the Creating Adobe PDF box and has a progress bar. Then an error box says Acrobat Distiller:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 10\Acrobat\.......
Cannot open this file.
Please check that the correct path and filename are given.
Magically it converts but the problem is with the errors and sometimes the conversion isnt accurate. What port does this need to be on becuae I notices it defaults to COM1???
Thanks, any help would be much appreciated.

Please have the user post, we need much more information. Operating System, Service Package, 32-bit/64-bit. If 64-bit is the program 32-bit or 64-bit native? Version of the program DSS. What kind of program is DSS and who makes it? Googling DSS doesn't help much since there are several choices.
