Illustrator cs6 Can't open the illustration. Could not complete the requested operation.

Hi guys
I'm struggling with my Illustrator CS6. I hope you will help me.
When I try to open my project it says "Can't open the illustration. Could not complete the requested operation." After clicking ok my project is loaded WITHOUT one layer. I sacrificed a lot of time doing it and i don't want to start it over again. None of the ways to open it as older version of program work. I know that it can be recovered, because when I open the same project in After Effects all layers are loaded properly. If somebody know how to solve this problem please let me know asap.

Thanks, Monica, Ryan, and Mike. It helps to know that this is the best I'm likely to get, so I don't waste more time looking for a better solution.
I was able to place the file, then simply redraw or retype the broken parts on top of the placed art. Often, I could click into the placed art and copy contents from it. For type, though, I had to retype whatever got broken.
Since I posted my 1st comment here on Dec. 5, it happened to me again. Again, I had to reconstruct parts of it, the same way.
Sometimes, I save a file without PDF compatibility enabled, just to make it save more quickly. I'm glad I didn't do that with this file.

Can't open the illustration. Can't finish previewing. Could not complete the requested operation.

Recently, I restarted my MAC and I'm not able to place images in AI or open AI files with images.
Sometimes when I do place a jpg, it just shows a box.
Some errors include:
• This file is not readable.
• Can't open the illustration.
• Can't finish previewing. Could not complete the requested operation.

As Monika said, we need info about the file and exact system info. Sounds like the files are damaged or locked at the operating system level, which in turn could indicate file system issues....

Can't open PSD! "Could not complete your request because the required resources were not found."

Hi all,
I am having some serious issues with Photoshop CC and have alread lost a few days of work to a random bug. I have spent the whole day working on Photoshop to try and catch up on the lost work.
I was saving the PSD, closed the document and then tried to reopen it to make a quick change and I got this error: "Could not complete your request because the required resources were not found.". I am now unable to open the PSD.
Has anyone ever seen this and does anyone know if there is a way of resolving the problem?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Leigh

I found a hack-y way to work around this problem without losing work!
So I discovered fairly quickly that this is an unsolved problem that NO ONE can explain the cause of. Here are step-by-step instructions on how to save your layers without losing progress.
Convert ALL of your layers to a Smart Object.
Right-click on the Smart Object
Click "Export Contents..."
This opens up a Save As... Window, with your file name .PSB
Name & Save.
I then quit Photoshop CS, re-opened, and had all of my layers, folders, and effects intact. The only problem was that my Canvas was as large as my biggest layer (extending beyond my original canvas). Just find the original background layer (or one that originally filled your canvas), Select it (Command + Click on the Layer thumbnail), and Crop it (Image > Crop).
Hope this helps.

Illustrator CC 2014 - Message - "Can't finish previewing. Could not complete the required operation."

We have 3 Macs OS 10.7.5, 16Gb and are all using Illustrator CC 2014. Since the Macs upgraded to CC 2014 all are exhibiting the same message, at random during deisgn, "Can't finish previewing. Could not complete the required operation.". At this point clicking on the "OK" button causes the screen graphics to appear in outline mode and unable to access / select any further commands, apart from "close".
Reverting back to the initial CC (which is still installed on the systems) shows no problems in completing the designs. Hence it appears that all the above issues seem apparent only since the latest CC upgrade.
Does anyone have any ideas as to this issue and any possible resolutions.

For the last few months, I've been having the exact same problem and it is driving me CRAZY. I finally contacted Adobe a few weeks ago regarding the issue and they had me clear out my preferences. All seemed fine for a few days... but then it came back again and seems worse now. It happened so often today I lost count. Very frustrating.

AI error: Can't finish previewing. Could not complete the requested operation.

I have a user who is trying to open up .ai files but recieves a few errors when he tries opening it.
Can't finish previewing. Could not complete the requested operation.
Can't open the illustration.
An unknown error has occurred.
His MAC has the latest 10.6.8 OSX and updates. I already tried uninstalling and reinstalling CS5 but still didn't work.
When he logs onto another employees MAC, he's able to open it up fine. But when he logs onto the MAC that he uses, the error shows up. He has admin privileges to the computer as well. When logging into the local accounts, its able to open any AI files fine. Seems like this is only happening when he logs into his domain account on that computer.
I've looked and already tried removing/disabling fonts that he didn't need. Also when opening up AI (no other programs opened), he still has 1.75 GB RAM available.

the question is what has changed in terms of PDF standard, in just the latest patch, to cause this problem for some of our generated PDFs?
Again, I'm guessing: it is possible that newer versions of Adobe products are more strict to adhere to PDF standards.
I have also tried to open your file using Adobe internal beta versions, and I've received the same errors. Meaning that this behavior is here to stay.

Can't finish previewing. Could not complete the requested operation

So, I am working on a large and complex document in AI CC 2014, and periodically this message ("Can't finish previewing. Could not complete the requested operation") pops up and drops me into outline mode. I can work around it by hiding some parts of the illustration or changing zoom, so it looks like a resource issue. But what resource? RAM doesn't seem likely: I have 32 GB or memory, 400 GB of free disk space for paging, and the Mac Activity Monitor shows no sign of memory pressure. (Illustrator is only using 1 GB). So what's going on? Is it a graphics hardware issue? I don't have the latest or greatest: my iMac has an AMD Radeon HD 6970M with 1 GB. Is that the problem? Would a new computer help, or is it some internal thing with Illustrator and a new computer would be a waste of money. The error message is completely uninformative as to the cause of the problem. Does Illustrator CC have a log file or any other source of info?

On a Mac, in Adobe Photoshop CC 2014, when adding audio to an edit, i get the message "Could not complete your request, because Dynamiclink is not available".
When performing the exact same operation in Adobe Photoshop CC, i can add audio in the same way, no error message. Any ideas to solve this, anyone? Would be greatly appreciated.

I tried to update and it keeps telling me to get the Application Manager. And this is what happens
Adobe Application Manager failed and it told me to download the Adobe Support Advisor.
Adobe Support Advisor told me that there was an issue:" cpsid_82829s1: "A restart is pending," bootstrapper error has occurred. "Token Number: 40-87772-063201122012
I followed the instructions it gave me to correct this issue:
If you receive the error "Installer has detected that a machine restart is pending. It is recommended that you quit the installer, restart try again," do the following:
#Restart the computer and try the installation again.
#If the installation fails, delete the InProgress registry key:

SharePoint designer 2013 crashes most of the time, when opening sites. Error: The server could not complete the request.

Hi,
I have few sharepoint 2013 site's, which I am trying to open in sharepoint designer 2013.
After adding the site name in open site and clicking ok, the sharepoint designer crashes. At times the sites open, but 90% of the time, the sharepoint 2013 designer has crashed. I get the message "The server could not complete the request. For
more specific information, click on the Details button".
When clicking on "Details" button, there is a empty box. The error message never gets closed and have to kill the process.
I have tried doing "IISreset" multiple times, which has not helped.
Has anybody faced this issue? How to fix this?
Thanks

Hi Venkatzeus,
Firstly, I need to verify the followings:
1.Whether this issue occurred on a specify SharePoint 2013 site.
2.Whether you have extended the problematic site.
Make sure that your user is a site administrator. If you have extended the problematic site, please add it to AAM.
There are other probable causes for this issue:
1.Anonymous authentication is not configured for the problematic web application in IIS
Fix: Enable Anonymous authentication in IIS
2.Server is running out of memory
Fix: Free up memory on the server

Hi All,
We are using SharePoint Designer 2007.When we try to open any page in designer we get following error,

Anyone experienced anything like this before?

I'm trying to load video file into CS6 I keep getting error message: 'Could not complete you request because the DynamicLink Media Server is not available.' No Idea what to do next. Help please.

I'm using CS6 Extended. My OS is "Windows 7 home premium.
Can no longer load video files into CS6 for edited I keep getting error message:
'Could not complete your request because the DynamicLink Media Server is not available.'
Don't know what this means. Until just now I was able to load videos without any problems. Now I'm getting this message. Any thoughts?

Hi Mylenium,
upfront:
I hope I won't be marked as spam now, since I am posting on a few relevant discussions now to this topic.
However, I really would like to ask the people who have experienced this problem to see if they were able to solve it.
Now the real deal:
I posted a question in this discussionDynamicLink Media Server won't let me import video for video frames to layers anymore.
The linked discussion is a lot younger, which is why I posted there first.
I also put in information on the steps that I have tried and my computer specifications.
I am experiencing this problem for a while now and hope you and jones1351may be able to help out.

When I try to open genius I get the message"could not complete the itunes store request. The store may be busy."

I've tried to open genius numerous times and I get the same error message. I llike to make playlists with songs from my library.What is the solution so I can use genius?

This is what I did to resolve this problem. First, I uninstalled Firefox 4 & removed the Firefox folder left behind. I made sure to NOT select the option to delete personal information. Next, I backed up all of the important files on my computer. Next, I upgraded my Windows 7 to Service Pack 1, which was pending in my updates folder. Then, I went to Mozilla's website & downloaded Firefox 4 again, making sure to select only the Firefox browser and not Thunderbird too. http://www.mozilla.org/ When prompted to close any open programs, I closed Internet Explorer (which I had used to get to the Mozilla website) and I disabled my Norton anti-virus. I then completed the installation & it works just fine now. It loaded all of my personal data, such as bookmarks, it remembered my password, etc. It's fine for my needs, as I'm not a heavy user of special add-ons & plug-ins. Some of those may not work yet with the new version.

The Event Viewer does not record the event and no unexpected events show up in the logs.

Illustrator CS6 and CC can't finish previewing. could not complete the requested operation

This is happening in both Illustrator CC and CS6 on 2 x imacs, one macbook pro and one macbook air.
Can anyone help with this issue.....it's doing my head in. When it does this it reverts to outline view and when going to preview mode it comes up with the error.

We use Illustrator for package design. The files are quite complicated.
Recently we are experiencing extreme lag on Ai files. In some cases we get wierd stair stepping and duplicate pixel studdering across the monitor as we mouse over the art in preview mode. Sometimes get a "Can't finish previewing. Could not complete the requested operation." message.
How much RAM/Resources do we need to run this bloated software?
Trimmed most installed user/library fonts. Universal Type Server only opens required fonts.
Current system(s) is OS 10.8.4

Illustrator CS5.1 will not open on OS X Lion 10.7.5 - "Could not complete the requested operation."

Out of the blue, I can't get my Illustrator CS5.1 application to open. Instead the app icon bounces on the dock and the message "Could not complete the requested operation." appears.
I have tried restarting the application, restarting the computer, I have tried holding Command+Option+Shift while opening, I have tried various methods of editing the "Adobe Illustrator CS5.1 Settings" folder, I have tried moving other application folders and font folders, all without success.
The application is installed on a computer in my office and was installed as a downloadable upgrade to CS4. I was thinking a solution might be to install Illustrator, but I haven't been able to find a link to the CS5 program downloads.
Today I tried to get help from Adobe Customer Support, who informed me that they no longer support CS5 and directed me to the forums instead. Any solutions???

Hi,
It was never completely clear whether it was just hidden or whether Apple ran a download page for iChat 6.
As the Download for Messages Beta was separate and "Deleted" iChat it would seem it would be another download for iChat 6.
iMessages will not function as it is only an Account type within Messages and iChat 6 does not have it.
Therefore messages on the iPhone will not sync to the Mac. (until you get Mountain Lion and Messages in that OS X version).
Mountain Lion and it's full version of Messages will not sync the iMessages that have happened in between the 14th December 2012 (end date of Messages beta) and the Install of Mountain Lion if you decide on that route.
