Illustrator files will open on originating computer, but not on networked computers

I have a small creative dept who uses Illustrator CS5.1 v15.1.0. Each system has its own registered version of software.
Computer one will create a file, save it and can open it fine. However, computer 2 and computer 3 can not open the file. We can see it on the network drive, but the error we get is "the file is not readable."
Troubleshooting that's already happened:
     • It's not a permissions issue, that I know of. "Get Info" shows the ability to read and write all of the same files.
     • The files are saved using the same settings in the "save" menu as are used on the other 2 systems
     • All systems are running the same system software
     • All files are saved on a network drive, and normally opened from there, but even if the file is copied locally, it still will not open.
Computer 2 and Computer 3 can share and open files just fine.
Thoughts?

From point 4 (my emphasis):

So it does not sound like the old network bugaboo. And it sounds like you've tried multiple files.
For lack of a better idea, have you tried resetting preferences on computer one?

1) Close the program and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (not reversible)
or
2) Move the Folder. See:

EDIT TO ADD: If you copy the file from the network back to the original machine, can IT still read the copied file?

  • My iPod will charge in the computer but not my iPod dock, my sisters iPod dock or the wall charger. My sisters iPod will charge in all and we both have the same sofware and generation. Why won't mine charge?

    My Ipod will charge in the computer but noy my iPod dock, my sisters iPod dock or the wall charger. My sisters iPod will charge in all and we both have the same software and generation. Why won't mine charge?

    Look the dock connector on your iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corred contacts, foreign material and cracked/broken plastic.
    Try:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears..
    - Restore from backup

  • Bought app in order to sync itunes with a blackberry playbook.  Now Itunes will open on my computer but when i plug  my ipods in to charge or sync, itunes is not showing that they are plugged in. Cant charge or anything!

    Obviously not too smart with all this technology.  I puchased a Blackberry Playbook Tablet and wanted to sync my itunes music, so following directions on the Playbook, I downloaded this app - Daniel Bingham Itunes sync - and when I went to my pc, I pulled it up, plugged in my Playbook and it did sync all my music from my Itunes library to the Playbook.  However, now when I plug an ipod in my pc to charge or sync more music, my pc is not showing it recognizes any of my ipods being plugged in.  It makes no mention of any of my ipods being connected!  I also keep getting this "Found New Hardware Wizard" box that keeps popping up everytime I plug an ipod in - it originally showed up when I had Playbook plugged in to download all its info (I think) but it never completes, saying not compatible - so I click cancel. I have since clicked on remove New found hardware but it still pops up. Why does it continue to show with every Ipod now?  Any idea on what I can do to repair this situation?  Please help!

  • Itunes will open on my computer, but the actual itunes store will not open, blank page...HELP

    I just got the new itunes and I can open itunes and see my music but whenI try and go to the itunes store it just loads to a white page. I try and refresh and go to the home page and nothing happens. I can sign into my account and the tabs for the itunes store pop up like they normally would when browsing the itunes store but when I click on one of them, it is a blank page. Is there a setting I need to change? Does it just take an extremely long time to load? Please help!!

    Bucktr09:
    I'm having the exact same problem.  I upgraded to the newest version of iTunes on my iMac and ever since I did the store is a blank white screen.  I can get my library content but the store is a no go.  Is there any one out there with a solution?

  • My DVD will play on my computer but not my DVD player

    I created my first DVD using encore, and it seemed to work great. It would open and do what it was supposed to do on any computer. However, when I stick it into my DVD player for my tv, it Starts the loading process and the two blue horizontal line scroll down the tv screen and then locks my DVD player. I have to unplug my DVD player and then plug it back up and quickly hit the eject button to get the DVD out.

    When you write to disc with Imgburn, use the SLOWEST possible speed setting, so your burner has the best chance to create "good, well formed" laser burn holes... since no DVD player is required to read a burned disc, having a "good" one from a high quality blank will help

  • Indesign file re-open causes freeze/hang - but not on other Macs in the studio

    Hi,
    I'm running Leopard 10.5.6 and Indesign CS3 5.0.4, as are the other 4 Macs in our studio.
    I created a document on my machine, saved it to the network and have now come to edit it again; the machine freezes every time now when I try to open the file.
    The file opens perfectly on any of the other machines in the studio. I have tried resaving, copying/pasting content to a new document, saving as an Exchange format and nothing seems to work.
    I've run Onyx system tools, cleanded the caches etc, even verified Hard disk and Permissions using Mac OS installer CD.
    All other indesign files I have tried to open using my Mac are fine, open with no problems.
    Does anyone have any idea what's going on here? I can post the report Mac OS generates if that would help anyone.
    Thanks in advance,
    Roland Kasicki

    quicktime is a program not a format
    even .mov is not a format but a container which can contain a vide range of formats
    the core of your problem is finding out what the format of your files are
    and if they are on the list of supported formats
    if they are not you will have to convert your media

    converting them should not reduce quality at all

  • Edited gif file will work in a viewer, but not in email client

    An animated gif file received in my email client, after editing will not work in the same email client, but is working properly in a browser. Further, the background in the altered gif is black in the email client instead of the non-pixelated file that was "saved for web."
    I had received thsi working gif file and made changes to send the altered animation back, wherin I encountered this quirky littel issue.
    Anyone had this problem or have answers to what's going on here?

    Hi Ozkarleo,
    Please post more information to make your question clear. What’s the type of project you are using? Universal app? Windows phone silverlight app?
    The Sqlite libraries in runtime project are different with those in WinForm. But you have not mentioned what libraries you are using in runtime, so I assume you are using this common ones.
    Sqlite for windows 8.1
    https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/1d04f82f-2fe9-4727-a2f9-a2db127ddc9a.

    https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/5d97faf6-39e3-4048-a0bc-adde2af75d1b.
    One thing important you need note is that we have no access to the entire file system in runtime app, copy the file to local storage then use it.
    A good sample you can get started with it. Get it form MSDN code gallery.

  • File Left Open in Excel 2010 but not in Excel 2013 but Why?

       
    Hi All,
    After running the four lines of code below, if I try to open the 'MyFile.XLSX' in the windows Explorer I get a message saying  'File in use by 'another user'. However if I try to reference the file in Excel via VBA it is clearly not accessible (and
    shouldn't be). So why after copying all worksheets to another workbook is it still ready only?
    Is there a way of ensuring the file is writeable once again via VBA (since the object can not be referenced any longer?)
    Thanks in advance of any enlightenment
    Steve 
    Dim pmWkBk as Workbook
    Set pmWkBk = GetObject(Workbooks("MyFile.XLSX"))
    pmWkBk.Sheets.Move After:=Workbooks("MyOtherFile.XLSX").Worksheets("Sheet1")
    Set pmWkBk = Nothing
    Steve Stretch

    So, 'the original workbook no longer exists in the Excel object model'.  I don't think that's possible.
    It is 100% possible because once all the sheets of a workbook have been MOVED to anther workbook the original workbook doest;t exist. try it yourself...code
    below was recorded and the last line added.
    Cheers
    Sub Macro1()
    ' Macro1 Macro
        Workbooks.Open Filename:="C:\Users\Win7\Desktop\Hello.xlsx"
        Sheets("Hello").Select
        Sheets("Hello").Move Before:=Workbooks("Goodbye.xlsx").Sheets(1)
        'then the bit you say is impossible - this is where you would get a subscript out of range error
        Workbooks("Hello").Close
    End Sub

  • My charger will charge another hp computer but not mine?

    This morning when I turned on my laptop the charger said: plugged in, not charging. However if I plug another hp charger into my computer it starts to charge, same thing with my charger if I plug it into another hp computer it will charge it but the second I plug it into my computer it doesn't want to charge. Both the computer and charger came together when i bought it, the computer is out of warranty but it's not old less then 2 years. 
    This question was solved.

    It switches from not charging to charging so im not sure whats up, but if it's not charging if i wiggle it a tiny bit it'll start charging or if I unplug it and plug it back in sometimes it'll start to charge. Next to the plug on the notebook there is a light that turns orange when it's charging and white when it's just plugged in and not charging, so thats helpful I guess. I study computer engineering so I've tried installing the drivers again running a hardware scan and other thing and they all say that my computer has so problems.  
    Sounds like a bad charging port or circuit. Try to run the laptop without the battery with the adapter plugged in and does it work or not?

    When we click on the icon to start firefox even though the process opens in task manager, the program screen doesn't open

    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.

  • Can see files in iPod folders on computer, but not in iPod

    Hello - first time iPodder here . . .
    I've purchased several songs from iTunes prior to owning an iPod. Since my purchase, I was able to move about 40 songs from my home computer to the iPod. All the remaining 100 or so wouldn't transfer for some reason.
    As well, I use iTunes on my work laptop. I downloaded one movie & one TV show in from the iStore. I have a 30GB video iPod. It is set to manually move files (drag & drop). When I drag from my iTunes folders into my iPod, it appears to transfer correctly. I see the status window moving along slowly until the transfer is complete. Afterwards, I can see the file(s) listed in the appropriate folder under in my iPod section. However, after I eject the iPod, the files are nowhere to be found.
    Am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks for your help!!

    Sorry - when I say they're nowhere to be found . . . I mean on the iPod. They still show up in the Library folders . . . and the strange thing is - they still show up in the iPod folders too unless I delete them.
