Ai files NOT READABLE from PC Illustrator

As I have just gotten an i7 with Adobe Suite, I thought I'd try to import an ai from Windows
to Apple Motion. It DOES NOT WORK. psd compatible, etc, etc.
It seems Apple can't read a universal file such as .ai
(Adobe Photoshop on a PC can read it)
very disapointed ,as I wanted to create custom shapes for particle emmision...better stick to
3ds Max which has no problem, and is real 3d

AI is a proprietary format but is the same on a Mac or a PC (AFAIK).
Motion is reading the PDF part of the file. This has been the default saving behaviour for the last few versions of Illustrator. However, it is possible to turn PDF support off — analogous to saving a Photoshop file without compatibility.
There is a free script on my site which might help you as it specfically saves PDFs. I don't have a PC handy but this is JavaScript so it should work:

"File not readable" error in CS6

I've opened the file, worked on the file, saved the file and suddenly I'm getting a "File not readable" error upon open. Running CS6. One file was saved out to CS5 compatible. Created another test file and it saved out and reopened without issue.
Mac Yosemite. Only update done between opening was an Adobe Flash Player, which really shouldn't affect this. I've also tried pulling the file again from my cloud account to see if it was corrupted on my desktop...same issue.
Anyone having this issue and know how to solve for it?

skredberry,
Are you saving to your own harddisk?
It is always recommended here to open/save your documents from/to your own harddisk, then copy to external media/servers/whatever as backup.
You may be lucky (for a while), but the chances of file corruption and other unpleasantnesses are immensely greater when you use anything but the harddisk.

What does "File not readable" error message mean?

I am trying to copy/paste art from a supposed "corrupt" file into a brand new document. When I paste, I get this particular error message: File not readable. What, exactly, does this mean?

Amanda,
It is nice to know that it works now. Thank you for letting us know.
Actually, the solution was identical to this part of the list in post #3:
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup;
I ruled that out because in post #2 you wrote
I have tried EVERYTHING ... Dumped the preferences....
Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift is the standard way of deleting = resetting = dumping the basic preferences so I was convinced you had done that already (hence my suggestion to start with 4 and skip 1) - 3)).
Actually, when you
4) Move the folder with Illy closed;
as suggested in post # 3, you move all the preferences to another place so that they are reset to the defaults when you open Illy next time; this procedure is more thorough (and therefore capable of solving more issues) and reversible so you can get the preferences back if it does not help.
I presume you did not try 4).

Disc Burner. Why are some files not readable or writeable?

Hello,
I am trying to backup my friends computer files on a beige G3 (233 MHz). I am burning about 6 DVDs of AIF music files. Most of the files are about 30 - 40 Megs in size. Often I receive error messages on particular files that read:
"The operation cannot be completed because some data cannot be read or written.
(Error code - 36)"
Followed by the choices: "Stop" or "Continue".
I have a bad feeling that my startup disk is too small but I am not sure.
Most of the files work fine. However some of the files cause disc burner to not be able to use them in the disc image before I burn. Why would this be?
Here are the specifications:
Computer: beige G3 with two hard drives (one SCSI and one ATA hard drive) and a Pioneer DVR-110D DVD writer which is Apple supported (Apple system profiler indicates Apple supported on this DVD writer). My blank DVD disks are Sony Vermatim DVD-R (1 - 16x speed support). Although I think my beige G3 only writes them at about 2 or 4x.
I am using OS 10.1.5. My startup disk which has OS 10.1.5 in it is a 4 GIG SCSI disk. Is this big enough for a startup disk (for creating 4.5 GIG DVDs)? My files are on the second hard drive which is a 40 GIG ATA disk.
I have a bad feeling that my OSX startup drive is too small for disk burning - it is only 4 GIGs in total and OSX Disc burner (Disc copy) is first making a disk image on my startup volume before it burns it. Perhaps that disk image is too large for the startup volume. Is there any way I could ask OSX to put this disk image on the second larger hard drive instead (not the startup drive?).
Here is my process (I hope I am doing this right - I am new at this):
1. I first insert a blank DVD-R
2. A message pops up asking my if I would like to create a blank disc image for this disk (I think this is the typical Disk Copy utility window. I say "yes" and give it a name and choose the "DVD-R or DVD-RAM" option. (I am not sure if there are other important settings to choose here or better settings to use but I guessed the other options that seemed obvious. A blank disk image is created with an icon that looks like a DVD disk.
3. Then I drag my chosen files to this blank disc image. It takes about 30 minutes to copy over. Thats when I receive the error message that some files couldn't be "read or written". The other files work fine but it would be nice if they all worked.
Why would some files not be readable or writeable?
4. Then I choose file/burn in the top menu and the DVD is created. This takes another 20 - 30 minutes. At the very end of the process another message pops up saying:
"Sorry the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured (error code -28)" Followed by an "OK" button.
However all the files that made it onto the final DVD are fine - its just that its not all of the ones I originally chose in the first step when dragging to create the disk image.
Am I doing this the right way?
Why are some files not "readable or writeable" as it indicates in the error message?
Is my 4 GIG startup disk too small for this? or are the music files possibly corrupt? or could there be some other possible problem?
Thanks

To follow up, I have some good news. After following your advice Kappy, it now works very well Thanks! Instead of using the 4 GIG volume for the OS, I am now using an 8 GIG partition on an 80 GIG drive. So now the OS has some room to operate. No disk errors occured on my first DVD
Now there was one problem. The second DVD burned gave me an error. I am not sure why but I am going to guess that because I had to installed the OS onto an 8 GIG partition maybe the OS needs to be rebooted in between disk burns because although 8 GIGs is certainly greater than the 4 GIGs I gave it last time, it still isn't a lot of space - maybe just enough to do one DVD at a time. Thats only a guess. So I rebooted to see if that clears the system out ready for the next DVD and I am trying to burn the second DVD again. If I remember I will report back. In any case, yes, this seems to be working. I hope this second DVD burns well too.
Thanks Kappy

I am having issues with Sidebar files not appearing from within InDesign CS5.5. They show up fine from other Adobe applications. Using OS10.6.8.

I would first of all trash the preference file for InDesign, make sure the application is closed then find the prefs in
/Users/USER NAME/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign and just throw the entire folder away, it will generate a new one after you launch InDesign again.
Now launch InDesign and see if the problems are resolved.
If not I would repair your permissions on your hard drive wih disk utility, and if that fails then di-install InDesign and re-install that single application.
Let me know if any of these suggestions work for you
I will be checking my email although you might have to wait for a response as I will be taking a microlight flight over the Victoria Falls tomorrow. Yay can hardly wait.

File not readable

I have been working on my sister in laws wedding imovie project and now when I try and open it, it says file not readable. I can open other saved movies and when i tried to start a new one and saved it, the new one is also saying file not readable. Is there any hope? Can I fix it so I can do a new one?

The project has probably been damaged, usually the result of emptying the iMovie trash. If you'd like me to try to rescue it, see my note here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1329742&#1329742
If a project is unreadable, it may be (indirectly) affecting your trying to open the new project, causing you to conclude it is unreadable too.
Double-clicking on the iMovie application to launch it — or single-clicking on iMovie in the Dock — normally causes iMovie to open the most recently-opened project. The name of that project is saved in the iMovie preference file.
iMovie may be repeatedly trying to open the corrupt project instead of the new one, creating the (false) impression the new project is corrupt too.
It's also possible iMovie is damaged, but that doesn't usually cause iMovie to complain it can't read a project. It just fails to open.
My guess is the problem is limited to just one project. To find out for sure, double-click on a project you KNOW is okay to open iMovie, create a new project, save it, quit iMovie and re-launch iMovie. If the new project opens, everything is okay, but the corrupt project needs fixing.

Mac PDF files not readable on PC

I am constantly getting messages from my PC friends that the photoshop files I create and then convert to either pdf or jpg are not readable on their pc. Sometimes the files are split into two files (one very small and the other large) with the same name. The larger file is usually able to be opened.
What can I do to make my proofs easier to read for pc users? This has gotten frustrating.
Thanks for your help.

The problem is that I cannot control what version of Adobe the person is using who I'm sending the file to. This has been hugely embarrassing to me as I've been sending out files with my work. Some of the recipients were kind enough to point out that the file seems corrupted, others simply put me on a "waste of time" list.
I've tried it on my windows machine, and using Acrobat Reader 8 and Acrobat professional 7.0. The text appears as little circles and the file is not readable.
On the Mac, I can reproduce the problem, too.
Adobe Illustrator (version CS) cannot read the file. Warnings are:
The font Univers-BlackExt is missing. Affected text will be displayed using a substitute font.
The font Univers-BoldExt is missing. Affected text will be displayed using a substitute font.
The font Univers-Condensed is missing. Affected text will be displayed using a substitute font.
The font Univers-Extended is missing. Affected text will be displayed using a substitute font.
The font Univers-ExtraBlackExt is missing. Affected text will be displayed using a substitute font.
The font Univers-Oblique is missing. Affected text will be displayed using a substitute font.
To preserve appearance, some text has been outlined.
Acrobat 6.0.2 Professional cannot read it on the Mac
Acrobat Reader 8.1.7 on Mac has no problems with it. It displays perfectly, just like under Preview.
But this is somewhat beside the point. A PDF file should be portable, so once I have one there should be a way to make sure it can be read by all Adobe products that can read PDF. How can I make sure?
Given that I can see everything perfectly on my Mac (e.g. using Reader 8.1.7), how can I ensure the same can be seen by any other user on any system reading a PDF file? I guess that this has to do with your (Adobe's) PDF specifications. How can I "enforce" those?
Many thanks!

Xml file not loading from different server

Hi,
I have a simple flash banner that is pulling a number from an xml file on a different server. When it gets to the frame where the number should be it just says "transferring data from eckul.com" and will not actually pull in the number. Unfortunately I can't put the files on the same servers. Any help would be much appreciated, below are the links and the xml code I'm using followed by the action script. Cheers
http://www.sainters.net/newsletters/2010/flash_test_membership2.html
http://www.eckul.com/number.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<inventors>
    <person>
        <name>892</name>
        </inventors>
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
_root.inventor = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
_root.comments = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
name_txt.text = _root.inventor;
comment_txt.text = _root.comments;
} else {
trace("file not loaded!");
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("http://www.eckul.com/number.xml");

so, in frame 1 of your fla before you execute that cross-domain load method, use:
System.security.loadPolicyFile("http:www.yourcrossdomain.com/subdirectoriesIfNeeded/crossd omain2.xml");
where the following (crossdomain.xml) is in www.yourcrossdomain.com's root (IF you want to allow allow subdirectory policy files):
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.adobe.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
<site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies="all"/>
</cross-domain-policy>
and in the subdirectory (and its descendents) that you want to allow access put crossdomain2.xml:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="www.thedomainthatstryingtoloadcrossdomaindata.com" />

Files not updating from default.dwt

NONE of my pages are updating from the template that I
created them from. To create them I did the following:
File>New>Templates>Site Name>Template
Name>Create...
Then I'd save the file to whatever I was creating..... such
as, index.htm
I have done this for 6 new pages....
Then I change the links on the template and have it and when
I'm asked if I want to update ALL of the pages that were created
based on that template I answer yes... (obviously)..
But.... the pages do NOT update. it even says so in the
"Update Pages Dialog Box". it says that NO Pages were updated?
Why is that and what possible cause could there be.
I have a Dreamweaver manual and have defined the site about a
dozen times (after removing it first) and I have dome so RIGHT TO
THE BOOK..... but the dang template will NOT update the sites pages
created from it........grrrr..........
Any suggestions? Thanks for any replies.....

Here are seven common mistakes that will result in changes
not propagating
from Template to child -
1. Rename the Templates folder
2. Move the Templates folder to some other folder level in
the site other
than root level
3. Move a template out of the Templates folder.
4. Make changes to an editable region of the template (which
will not
propagate)
5. Assume that template changes can be uploaded to the server
without also
uploading the changed local files
6. Corrupt the site cache so that the link between template
and child page
is broken
7, Improperly create your child pages by simply opening the
template,
adding page specific content, and resaving the template with
an *.html
extension rather that its *.dwt extension. (you can tell if
this is the case
by looking at the code on a child page - if you see anything
like <!--
TemplateBeginEditable... then this is what you have done)
The 6th problem can be repaired by using SITE | Advanced >
Recreate Site
Cache, and the six others can be fixed by just not doing
them. Have you
done any of those?
Or, read this -

I-Movie project file not readable!?!?!

Just did a lot of work in I-Movie 4.0 and had a good 25 min. of almost finished movie and a lot of clips stored in the clip window. This is a project I have been working on for a few weeks. Later when I went to turn I-Movie back on it said the I-Movie project file was not readable. I have never seen this happen. I don't know what I could have done? I was emptying some trash before I turned it off but there is no way I would have erased the movie. How did I corrupt the file? I can access the time line movie through the quicktime file but there are lots of missing sound and I'm missing all the extra clips. How can I get that I-Movie project file to open!?!?!?

It's usually possible to re-open a damaged project by identifying and removing any flawed clips — those that were damaged by emptying the iMovie Trash. I can usually help you do that if you send me a couple files.
This describes what files to send:

Loading File (not-image) from JAR ..

Here s the jar structure i have:
myapp.jar:
-- package1:
-- -- *.class
-- file.ext
-- image.gif
How come i cant create inst. of File with the new File(with getClass().getResource("/file.ext").getFile()); ??
There s no problem with loading the image, but the other file always fails .. it says that the path is wrong (i guess it s beacause file:\D:myapp.jar!\file.ext is not a 'real' file-system path). How can i load a file from jar, without using getResourdeStream, without any temp files .. I would really appreciate some help. Thanks in advance.
Edited by: kokoroko on Dec 23, 2007 12:16 PM

i need an inst. of the File class pointing to tht file.The only file mentioned in your OP is D:myapp.jar and you can get the corresponding File object by parsing the string returned by getFile(). Notice it will still only be a valid file if getResource() returns a file: URL - something that cannot be guaranteed.
The point bears repeating, perhaps: D:myapp.jar!\file.ext is not a file. It is a resource (accessible via an input stream). Because it is not a file there is not - and never will be - any File object which represents its name.
I was ( and I m still) thinking tht it could be some classpath-and-sh**t problem.The classpath has a bearing on where a resource will be looked for, but says nothing at all about what is looked for. In this case you simply cannot "load" the file (whatever "load" means) because there is no file to load.
Finally, it is quite possible that you can do whatever it is that you are trying to do. But you have yet to say what that is: not how you want to do it (by instantiating a File, not by creating a temporary file or using an input stream), but what you want to do.

Kuler not available from my Illustrator CC colour guide

Any suggestions?
Thanks!
