AppleWorks not opening saved files

AppleWorks (on OS 9) can still open files, but now when it saves any new document, it won't allow it to open again. When I try to open any newly saved file, it throws up a dialog box that says "Unexpected end of file." twice.
Old documents can be opened but new ones can't.
What could be the problem and how (if at all possible) can it be fixed?
I've already tries rebuilding the Desktop file and deleting AppleWorks preferences files but it doesn't seem to change. Peggy (from the AppleWorks forum) suggested posting it here as it may be more of an OS 9 specific problem.

"When I try to open any newly saved file, it throws up a dialog box that says "Unexpected end of file." twice."
An “Unexpected End of File Encountered” alert message means that either the end of file marker is damaged or missing, or the end of file data does not reach the location defined by the end of file marker in a document. Usually this results when the file is incompletely saved or the application unexpectedly quits while the file is being saved. However, this error can occur during application launch, or when saving or printing.
If, after you receive the alert message, the document size is dramatically lower than the original size, the chances of recovery are minimal. It is recommended to use a backup copy of this document.

  • Waveburner not opening saved files

    Hi guys

    "Bounce wb3. Waveburner cannot open this file type".... what's the craic there then.. would appreciate help on the as i have lost many hours of work
    cheers

    It was my problem too. This is the answer:
    Hi,
    I have a new update of logic studio 9 with included waveburner. When I tried to open my previous waveburner files I got a 'non recognition' error message. Reading other posts on this forum, I first tried to find a relevant plist, couldn't. Tried a fresh install from the install disk, with just waveburner, that didn't work. Downloaded Amnesia as a free 15 day trial from koingo software, uninstalled waveburner using Amnesia, and then again did a fresh install from the install disk with just waveburner. That worked, and waveburner now seems to be functioning. - I'm posting this for the info of others in the same boat (apparently a common problem),
    Good luck all,

  • Find and replace Dreamweaver mx 2004 problem: not opening saved queries

    Dreamweaver mx 2004 is not opening saved queries! I use find and replace often and uses to save code replacements to reuse
    it. But now when I open the saved query I have 2 situations:
    1) comes completely blank
    2) or only shows truncated text or code in fields.
    I opened the dwr file in text editor and seems to be fine, I mean information saved is there.
    Tried recreating cache, or deleting caché, tried saving new or overwritting existant ones, tried saving into a completely different location,
    tried in other site definition. Nothing seems to work...

  • Could not open the file

    I had worked on the Illustrator CC 2014 with 19 slices of PDF presentation file for my assignment even in 15 minutes ago, and before closing it previous time, I have saved the file, and restarted my laptop, tried to open the PDF file again, but the message of "Could not open the file" was appeared each time I have tried to open it. I wonder what is wrong with it. And I do really have to working on it right now. Here I am attaching the pictures and please solve this problem. Thank you

    Does it open in Acrobat?
    Did it really complete saving? Or did it crash or did you abort the saving process?
    In case you can open it in Acrobat, the PDF part of the file is still intact. Then you could create a niew file in Illustrator and place your file in it. Of course then most  editing features will be lost, but at least you've got the content.
    Use this script to place all pages at once:

    [grid@orcl11g ~]$ srvctl stop database -d ora11g -o normal
    [grid@orcl11g ~]$ srvctl start database -d ora11g
    And also when I edit /etc/oratab file. I change N to Y for +ASM. But when restart system it seems not changed value is N again.

         ora11g:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1:Y
    NOW QUESTIONS!!!!!
    1. Why I can't change the status of database to OPEN as grid user?
    2. The status is always STARTED when querying v$instance. İs it status of +ASM or database?
    3. When checking database as grid user it seems to be Database runnning...  If running why it is not in OPEN state? What is running means here?
    4. When I log on as oracle user and query v$instance, then error shown above occured. And also when startup  the database then another error occured as in above. WHY?
    5. When I edit /etc/oratab file manually why second row saved but the first one is changed after restart the system?
    6. Normally, which user have to start, stop or manage database? I think that oracle user is necessary for managing database and the grid user is only for managing ASM and Oracle Restart.
    PLEASE HELP ME TO SOLVE THIS CHAOTİC SİTUATİON!!!
    Thanks,

    I have installed an Oracle 11gR2 on Oracle Linux Server 6.6 (Virtualbox)
    Pl identify exact version of 11gR2 to 4 decimal places. As noted in your other thread - Failed to start oracle-ohasd, error: Inappropriate ioctl for device ohasd failed to start at roothas.pl - you will need a minimum version of 11.2.0.3 for Linux 6.x - using a lower version may result in unexpected issues or problems.

  • My Preview will not open JPG files, only PDF.  I have downloaded nothing or installed nothing as I am a Luddite.  Any idea why all of a sudden, Preview would just stop opening JPG files?

    My Preview, suddenly, will not open JPG files.  It will open a file if it is saved as a PDF, but not JPG.  I have downloaded nothing nor installed apps as I am a Luddite.  Does anyone know the deal?  Thank you.

    So ummm.....which app is opening up your PDF files?
    If you want Preview to open your PDF files, do the following:  Highlight your file>File>Get Info> 
    In the Get Info window, scroll down to "Open with:"
    Select the Preview app to open the file.
    Click the "Change All..." button if you want to "Use this application to open all documents like this.”

  • #3125 error. I can not open the file

    We work on a Mac and a Win machine. We share the files via a NAS. We now encounter the problem that the muse-site saved by the Win machine can no longer be openend by the Mac. (#3125 error. I can not open the file). The only option to continue is to work via the Win machine.... ;-((( Please give us a solution. Ed

    A 3125 error indicates the operating system returned an error when Muse attempted to open the file.
    It's highly unlikely there's anything wrong with the file. If you haven't already confirmed, if you copy the file to the Mac's local drive it will open fine.
    I'm suspicious of file/folder permissions. Is it possible the account used to mount and write to the NAS from Windows has different user permissions than the account that's attempting to read it on the Mac? I could theorize a 3125 error might occur if one user with the necessary permissions wrote a file to the NAS and then a second user with insufficient permissions attempted to open it.
    Also, two users cannot simultaneously open the same .muse file on the NAS. Is that what's being attempted in this case? Muse goes to great lengths to attempt to prevent this and should put up an error about the file already being open in another copy of Muse. However, how that's detected is dependent on OS APIs that have subtly different behaviors on different servers and server protocols.

    When you click the download link on [http://getfirefox.com GetFirefox.com], you should be asked if you wish to Run or Save the file. If the described situation happens when trying to Run the download, try instead to Save it and put the file on your Desktop or a similar place where you are certain that you can find it again.
    When the download is complete, try double-clicking the downloaded file in the normal Windows Explorer (browse your way to the file from My Computer). This should start the installation.
    If you notice in the Explorer window that the file seems to be lacking the Firefox orange/blue icon, rightclick the file and select Properties. The picture should look somewhat like the attached picture (except that mine's in danish, but that is irrelevant) if saved correctly - if it does NOT look like this, please describe the contents or attach a screenshot of the box. Especially what it says under "File type" - it should be "Program"; if it's not, we'll have to look into what the problem could be here.
    Slightly off-topic, your Internet Explorer seems to be quite a bit out of date (IE 6, where current version is IE 8), so I would strongly recommend that you try to run Windows Update to get your system updated. If this is a company system (like a Terminal Server thin client machine), this may not be possible, and your system administrator will most likely have to help you.
