CS4 InDesign Error Code 5 - PLEASE HELP (!)

Hi, please please if any of you have suggestions to solve this problem or ANYTHING, please lend me a hand!
I tried to contact suppose-to-be open 24/7 customer service but on the phone the automated female voice tells you it is actually Mon-Friday. LOL.
OK, here is my problem.
My computer had to be rebooted yesterday morning, nothing unusual as it often happens.
Rebooted my Mac and tried uploading few InDesign files later on in the day.
Other files that were on before rebooting restored themselves but then an Error message came up with one file,
"Cannot open "file name.indd".
The file "file name.indd" is damaged and cannot be recovered (Error code 5)"
I am one of those Ctrl+S freaks so my work was saved before the reboot.
If the problem is within the restoring file system then why are all the other files safe and sound?
After intense googling on the matter, I suspect that it might be the size of the file.
I read a few cases where cos the file was too big, they had the same Error code 5 and lost them.
127.5MB is the size of the file but there have been no warnings previously nor was I informed that the size would cause a FATAL problem like this.
Anyway I tried out about all of the potential solutions given on Google.
-Quit and restarted InDesign.
-Rebooted Mac.
-Moved the file in to a portable hard drive and tried opening from there.
-Opened from other programs such as Photoshop etc.
-Created a new computer account and re-installed InDesign.
-Deleted and recreated InDesign Preference.
-Tried it the next day.
PLEASE help me...
That file happened to be THE MOST IMPORTANT one out of them all.
I spent few weeks working on that with hardly any rest or sleep.
The deadline is too close for comforts....please help.

Copy + Paste or Dragging them on to the page.
Does this make the file size too big to handle cos of all the links?
If so, why has it happened now?
Why has it not happened instantly or gave me a warning about the file size?
Thank you for the feedback, I really apprecaite it.
Even though it may mean my file's lost forever at least I know better now. Thanks.
There are no links when you copy/paste. When you say drag, do you mean from Bridge or Finder/Explorer, or from Photshop? Dragging from Photoshop is the same as copy/paste. All you get is low-res screen preview embedded in the document.
I suspect this doc may be as large as it is because it hase a lot of useless change information in it. ID save all the change info each time you hit save. When the doc is closed, that information is still retained, but is no longer usable. To reduce file size you should do a "Save As."
Have you tried deleting the recovery information and opeing the file from the menu? I don't think it will help, but it might.

Adobe Illustrator and InDesign Error code 16 - Help!!!!

I installed Adobe Illustrator and InDesign on Windows 8.1. They worked great until I closed the programs and tried to open them up again. I now get the error code 16. I re-installed several times now and each time I close either one of the programs and reopen, I get the same error code 16. I've done a clean uninstall and re-install and I've followed the procedures about ensuring that file permissions were correct. No luck.
Please Help!!!!!!

Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.

When I am creating a new CSS style sheet file I get a Java Script error while loading Spry Data Set.htm:
At line 204 of fileC:\ProgramFiles(x86)\Adobe\AdobeDreamweaverCS5\Configuration\Commands\InsertDiv.js"; out of memory
Can anyone tell me what I can do to fix this. I am unable to create the website correctly and I need to get this done right away.

What is the spec of your machine?
Operating System - Windows 7/Windows 8;
Memory: 4GB, 8GB
DW version CS5, CS 5.5, CS6;
Also have you tried creating a blank file in Notepad and saving it in your site's CSS folder and then attaching it to your page/template?
Hope this gives you something to think about.

Incompatible with Adobe InDesign (Error code: 14)

Hi all,
I've been having major problems with InDesign CS3 and OS 10.5. It always crashes when I try to Place, Export, Save As, anything that requires it to navigate the finder.
Now, while trying to export to PDF, the document froze. So I had to force quit it. Now ANY InDesign file I try to open gives me the error message:
The file "file name" is incompatible with Adobe InDesign (Error code: 14).
Has anyone experienced this? I'm now stuck as I cannot open anything to get some work done.
Thanks in advance.

Hi all
I have the excat same problem. Indesign CS5 and also my CS4 comes op with the error code 14.
It qrashes before I get into the program, also when I open it throug the program Icon and not the file.
I have tried:
Restarting
Shot down and take out the power cord for severeal minutes
Deleting the preference files "Defaults" and "SavedData" manualy
Deleting the file "InfoPlist.Strings" in folder "itlproj" which was a folder that keept showing on restart. (it was a italian languae to a dropdown shadow throug Flash CS5)
Remove indesign CS5 and CS4 (with the program uninstall icon) and reinstalled it
I have no clue to what more I can do. Think it could be a system fault. I have the following:
Mac OS X Version 10.6.8
Dual core Intel Xeron
Snow leopard
It just suddenly didnt work. Couldnt copy paste text from a mail into a file in Indesign and then it just crashed. Havent installed any new updates or programs so it is very weird.
Any help would be very much appriciated
Take care

Illustrator CS4 wont save files, please help?

You can edit a file, go to save, close it down, then when you re-open it the changes made have not been saved?? No error message or warning pops up, and it all looks ok like it has saved properly, until you open it up again. This also happens when you use 'save as' command if you use the original file name. If however you type in a different file name - it saves ok. But obviously that is not great as you cant now trust or rely on the save mechanism of the programme, to make sure any changes to artwork have been stored!! I have never seen an issue like this, it is worrying, I hope somebody can help?
Thanks.
We are running CS4 on windows7 - yes PC!!!

We save in EPS, and its not just one file, its a variety of different files and it seems to be random as to which files it does it on, some work fine - some don't. And it can be anything from a minor text change to a colour change, it doesnt seem to matter on the change made, it reacts the same.
The files are saved over a network connection to a large external hard drive.
Its really puzzling and now starting to cause problems as we do a fair bit of work in it, and can't trust one of the most important features, and that any changes that have been done have been saved and stored!
Hope maybe you can help with any thoughts at all.
Cheers.

After i updated my iphone 4s from 8.1.2 to 8.1.3 problem occurred.i cant restore and update my phone?saying that iphone could not be restored,an unknown error ocuurred.please help me?

Thanks for the update and clarification. In researching the issue it seems that the 2003 error code may have something to do with the USB connection. I would use this section of one of the above articles:
Get help with iOS update and restore errors
If the USB connection between your device and computer is interrupted, you might not be able to update or restore.
To narrow down the issue, you can try different equipment:
Use the USB cable that came with your device, or a different Apple USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port directly on your computer. Don't plug it into your keyboard.
Try a different computer.
Solve other issues with the USB connection, then with your security software.
If you still see the error message, check for hardware issues by following the next section.
Check for hardware issues
Related errors: 1, 3, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 1002, 1004, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1667, or 1669.
These errors mean that your device or computer might have a hardware issue that stops the update or restore from completing.
Check that your security software and settings aren't blocking your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
Make sure that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

JSP error? Please help!

JSP error? Please help!
I am new to JSP, I got a project using jsp. So I tried something very simple, when I try to execute .jsp, I got the following error msg:
Request URI:/ifs/jsp-bin/ifs-cts/stringjavajsp.jsp
Exception:
oracle.jsp.parse.JspParseException: Line # 9, Error: Unable to find class for bean: stringjsp defined by tag with class: strbuffer
the part of .jsp as following:

<jsp:useBean id="stringjsp" scope="page" class="strbuffer" />
<%
String String1=request.getParameter("string1");
String String2=stringjsp.stringappend(String1);
%>
The .java code as following:
import java.lang.*;
import java.util.*;
public class strbuffer {
public String stringappend(String string1) {
String i=string1;
StringBuffer j=new StringBuffer(i);
j.setCharAt(2,'x');
j.insert(5,'k');
j.append("zzz");
i=j.toString();
System.out.println("the changed string is "+i);
return i;

Or maybe you've compiled your Bean class with the wrong package declaration. And make sure that you've compiled it with a directory structure matching your declared package.

Photoshop Elements 8. "Could not use Clone Stamp Tool because of a program error." Please help.

Photoshop Elements 8. "Could not use Clone Stamp Tool because of a program error." Please help.

Try this:
Open your picture file
Access the clone stamp tool
Hold down the ALT key on the keyboard and left click on the area from which you wish to clone, then release the ALT key, and click to place the pixels at the destination
TIPS:
It is a good idea to open a blank layer at the top in the layers palette, and do the cloning on this layer. Be sure that "sample all layers" at the top is checked. You can change the layer opacity if necessary
Use the bracket keys next to the letter p on the keyboard to increase & decrease the size of the cursor
Let us know how you make out with the error message now.
