  • Flash Download File will not open - Multiple tries

    Hello Folks,
    I've searched this site high and low and haven't found a solution to my problem.
    Trying to Download the newest version of Flash. My Vista(64bit) system shows it as a "File" that's 2,089KB in the downloads list.
    If I click on the file as if to load/run it there is a prompt asking if I want to open this file type shows 
    Name: "install_flashplayer11x32ax_gtbp_chra_aih_exe" Publisher:"Adobe Sysytems Incorporated" Type:"unknown file type" in the message/prompt
    When I click the Open Tab it directs to the Windows "Open With" screen asking which program I'd like to open the file with. Initially it showed Adobe Reader 9. something-or-other and when using it it would give an error that the file wasn't supported so I uninstalled all Adobe programs with the intention of trying to do a clean install of all my Adobe products. I'm getting stumped though on how to fix this. Youtube is broken and boredom and frusteration are creeping in.
    Please help!
    As I've said before, I've tried all the searches I can think of but haven't found the solution I need. Maybe I'm missing it but I've verified scripts are enabled in Explorer and tried searching the c:\Windows\sysWOW64 and there wasn't anything there - empty...
    Thanks!

    That is very strange; it should be a period before the exe file type: install_flashplayer11x32ax_gtbp_chra_aih.exe
    Anyway, I suggest that you download and run the offline installer from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_header (under the heading Progess bar hangs...).

  • .mov file will not open in FCP X?! codec unavailable? help!

    I am trying to edit a short .mov file in FCP X. It was sent to me via YouSendIt. Once it has completed downloading, a message reads:
    " The document “S-T3RRA Video Heads by FLOOD(1)-2.mov” could not be opened. A required codec isn't available. To see if additional software is available that will enable QuickTime Player to open the movie, click Tell Me More. "
    When I click tell me more, Apple provides me with some additional media support for QuickTime, however I should not need this for a .mov file correct? The file will not open in FCP X or QT. Any ideas? Suggestions?  Was this file incorrectly exported by the creator?
    Help!!
    Thank you!

    Yes, it will be encoded using a codec that's not on your system.
    That is a common misunderstanding with .mov - it's not a format, it's a container.
    It basically contains video & audio streams that may be mp4, mjpeg or just about anything.
    In this case, the "anything" is what we need to find out, so we can work out what  you need to read it.
    You could try opening it using VideoSpec - it will tell you everything.

  • Some Canon CR2 RAW Files Will Not Open In Elements 8

    I use a Canon 7D DSLR.  Up until 30 minutes ago I never had a problem opening Canon CR2 RAW files in Photoshop Elements 8.
    Some files still open others do not.  I can think of only one thing.  I was shooting a large number of frames and reduced the RAW Image size down from RAW Large Only to RAW Medium with Small Jpeg to give me more room on the Compact Flash Card.
    The Large RAW only CR2 files open fine in PSE 8, the Jpegs open fine, but the smaller sized CR2 files will not open and I get a wrong file type message in PSE8.
    Any ideas why this would happen?  I suspect it is a function of the camera setting, but all RAW files download as CR2 files.
    I appreciate any guidance in this matter.  Needless to say I am resetting my camera back to Large RAW files only.
    Alex

    ACR 5.x only supported full-sized 7D RAWs, but ACR 6.x supports 7D mRAW and sRAW, so just update to the latest version of the plugin, following the PSE-specific instructions:
    http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
    sRAW and mRAW files are not RAWs because the camera has already demosaicked them to RGB and encoded them as lossless JPG.
    Here is technical information on the reduce-sized RAWs:

  • PDF files will not open in a Safari (v 6.0.5) browser window

    PDF files will not open in a Safari (v 6.0.5) browser window, OS 10.8.5. Version 11.0.04 Adobe Reader and Plug-ins installed. Both local and internet files do not load. What is happening here?

    Ok. I reloaded v 11.0.04 of Adobe Reader after quiting Safari 6.0.5 . Then deleted the 2 plug-ins AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin . Relaunched Safari and tried to read a pdf from a repository at the URL mentioned in post 10 . The file was loaded and displayed correctly. Also a pdf file from my local disk store displayed nicely as well. What I do not understand is that there is no listing of an Adobe plug in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins , nor does Safari list any Adobe plug ins. So in that case this means that plug-ins for the display of pdfs in Safari windows are no longer needed!
    Adobe Reader version 11.0.04  is now working for me.
    Thanks for the help and the solution C.F.McBlob

    Freehand can't convert EPS files into editable vectors. I
    usually run
    EPS files through Illustrator and then into Frehand. If you
    don't have
    Illustrator you can convert the EPS into a PDF and that
    Freehand will
    sometimes convert into editable vectors (though it does
    involve a lot
    more clean up than going through Illustrator.)

    Alternatively, install & use RawTherapee instead to develop your raw files instead (free and open source).

    I just bought the Nikon D750 and my raw files will not open in CC Photoshop. Is anyone else that has this camera experienced this problem?
    My Photoshop says it is up to date, but I am hoping that since this camera just came out, Adobe will have an raw file update soon.

    DNG Converter is FREE.  Yes, really.  No subscription needed.
    - Baloney, NOT FREE, it's a proprietary software, not open AT ALL, see Legal Notices, so stop trying to distort the truth here.
    Camera Raw (& DNG Converter) 8.7RC has been available since 2nd October, and opens D750 files in Photoshop & Bridge (& Lightroom using DNG Converter).
    Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw 8.7 Release Candidate | digital camera raw file support - Adobe Labs
    - Still a cumbersome process for this of us that PAID for software and support, the whole point of this discussion is to implement this directly on LR, so we, the PAYING users don't have to waste time doing a useless process that could be EASILY AVOIDED ig Adobe released updates as they are needed, or if they OPENED THE SOURCE CODE so the community could do it.
    Adobe created DNG, which is a well-documented backwards-compatible format, which is free for any manufacturer to use.
    See here for manufacturers who do (it's an old list, but you get the idea):
    http://www.barrypearson.co.uk/articles/dng/products_cameras.htm
    - Really? Did you actually read the site? It has PRECIOUS information that illustrate my point: Adobe DNG is an attempt to stop the OpenSource community from achieving the goals of OpenRaw, which is TRUE OPENNESS, Again, Adobe is trying to get manufacturers to PAY LICENSING so they use a PROPRIETARY FORMAT that will HOLD CUSTOMERS on a PAID platform. OpenRaw is he answer for a true competitive environment.
    Ask yourself why other manufacturers don't use a documented backwards-compatible format.
    - Easy, because they are lazy and want kick-back. The SAME answer that I (and the entire OS community) would give if you asked about Acrobat or MS Office.
    If you use a particular piece of software as your main tool, and you buy a camera which isn't yet supported by it, it's your problem. There is an expression used in the industry:
    "Poor Planning on your part does not constitute an Emergency on my part."
    - I agree here, it's MY PROBLEM that I decided to have a better product, it was my choice. I can still use OS Tools, which will be what I do moving forward, and about that expression, that is EXACTLY why Adobe will keep loosing customers, because the sense of urgency to help who pays their bills is inexistent. You are correct, why should they rush something so simple to help a customer right? Screw the customer... Thanks for making my point...

  • A Pages file will not open due to index.xml not found, what is up with that?

    I recently saved a file on Pages 5.5.2. on my IMac hard drive.  Now I find that on attempting to open it the file will not open due to index.xml not found.  Hoe do I correct this?

    I have this issue, as well - although perhaps in a different content.  When I try to open a file I created in the previous version of Pages, I will frequently (but not always), received the "index.xml not found" message.  I am very concerned that I may lose access to some of these files.  The old Pages icon is still on my dashboard, although I've downloaded the new Pages (that icon only appears when I open a new document).  I thought I needed to upgrade the old documents to the new Pages, but this didn't work.  Does anyone have any ideas?  And, I'm not a techie - so you'll need to break it down for me.

  • My InDesign file will not open! URGENT!

    Hi all,
    One of my InDesign files will not open, when I attempt to open it, I get a message saying "Cannot open file, Adobe may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the format may be missing or the file may be open in another application." I'm not exactly sure what the issue is as I opened another one of my files previously and that one is still working fine. I'm using Windows 7, if anyone can help me I would really appreciate it.

    Right-click the file and choose Open With, then notepad, and post a screen capture of the first dozen or so lines of text.

  • Mov reference file will not open in QuickTime 7.7.4 for Windows

    Hi,
    I have a mov reference file which opened fine in QuickTime 7.6.2 but since upgrading to 7.7.4 the file will no open. I get the following error:
    Error -2002: a bad public movie atom was found in the movie.
    The file contains one PAL MPEG2 video track and one stereo PCM audio track. It also contains a timecode track.
    See movie inspector below:
    Can anyone help me understand why this file will not open with the latest version of QuickTime. I cannot supply the file but can give any information about atoms etc. which can be read using QTAtomViewer.
    I am using Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008.
    Many thanks,

    For those who want to call, the following menu options will get you to the Quick Time install tech support:
    2 - takes you to the Quick Time submenu
    2 - takes you to tech support
    then, choose 1 for Mac or 2 for windows
    Initially, I was told by tier 1 tech rep Shawn that the update server may not be up or that it may be a firewall issue on my side.
    After telling him that I have confirmed that it is a problem with the update server sending a NULL (0 byte) response to the update query, he said I would have to just download the latest one in order to have the most up-to-date version and "just check back periodically to see if the update server is working".
    He mentioned there was a Quick Time standalone download available (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html), but that is still ~20MB & doesn't help the fact that probably over 90% of the people who run Quick Time have the option to automatically check for updates set and will never realize they're running an old, vulnerable version of Quick Time.
    He gave me a case number after I asked for one: 58027568
    If you'd like to add to mine and/or Rob's, it surely couldn't hurt.
    I suppose my next course is to try emailing contacts at apple to see what kind of response they have. Considering this problem has been there ever since QT 7 for Windows has been released (I don't remember ever checking for updates when running QT 7 beta), it's strange that it's still a problem.

  • Embedded pdf files will not open

    Dell Laptop Windows XP up to date, Firefox 4.0, Adobe Reader 10.0.1
    Since updating to Firefox 4.0 certain embedded pdf files will not open forcing me to use my Internet Explorer browser to access these files. Tried all of the FAQ suggestions with no relief.
    NOTE: I can open previously opened files (Firefox 3.___) but not a new one.

    Thank you for the response. I insereted several .pdf files into my MS Word document where they show as Acobat icons. When in MS Word, I am able to double-click on the icons and the files open in Acrobat. I then converted the MS Word document to a .pdf. These icons now only show as pictures and do not open the original inserted .pdf documents.

  • Pdf files will not open upon downloading

    I download a lot of pdf docs for work and want them to open automatically upon download so I can screen them.  Since upgrading to Safari 5.1, when I download files (which has gotten much more cumbersome) they do not automatically open upon download.  Yes, I DO have the "open safe files after downloading" option checked in Preferences.  Any other thoughts?  A solution would be most helpful.  (If anyone has a solution to how I can automatically download files as easily as in prior versions, that would be greatly appreciated also.)
