Automatically tries to launch a file

I am running CS5.1 and suddenly Illustrator gets hung up on opening a particular file every time I launch. I do want to open this file, but since I just get the spinning rainbow every time I do - I'm guessing it's corrupt now - I've tried to work on other files. Any other file launches fine, but then it quickly tries to open this corrupt file too, hanging up the program until I force quit. I welcome any ideas that might help me solve this issue.
Thanks.

Wanted to say I had the same problem last week. I thought a reboot fixed the problem, but it returned on the second Illustrator restart. Resetting preferences or mediabrowser.plist did not help
I changed the filename and now I don't have to see the file anymore.

  • [SOLVED]Iced Tea Fails to Launch Webmin File Manager

    Last night I started receiving an exception error when trying to launch Webmin File Manager from my laptop. I googled combinations of Webmin File Manager and Java and found posts dating back to 2009, 2010 stating webmin didn't work well with Iced Tea but did work with Sun's Java. Fortunately the Arch Java wiki indicated jre existed in the AUR. So a simple,
    sudo pacman -Rs icedtea-web-java7
    followed by,
    sudo packer -S jre
    and Webmin File Manager is accessible again.
    My thanks to AUR maintainer Det.
    Edit: After converting to jre I was able to access webmin filemanager but unable to access webmin ssh2. I reverted back to icedtea and went to the security console. i added https://serverip:10000/ to the exceptions and now both ssh2 and filemenager work.

  • URGENT Indesign tries to reload crashed file

    Windows 7, Indesign CS6. Dutch version, so I may not use the right English terms. I'm a freelance typesetter.
    When I tried to paste a paragraph with an anchored frame in the text, Indesign stopped reacting (the 'timer icon', don't know the proper name for it, kept on turning, but nothing happened). So I pressed Ctrl-Alt-Del and restarted Indesign. It tried to reopen the file, but again nothing happened. I pressed Ctrl-Alt-Del again. Then I tried doubleclicking another Indesign file that had been open at the time and got the question 'Do you want to restore the file'; I answered 'yes' (maybe I shouldn't have done that). Same outcome. Now I tried doubleclicking an old file. Indesign automatically tried to restore the file (it appears), but again no success (I kept it running for over an hour). So I can't even use Indesign anymore.
    The file I was working on is a 800 page book, with lots of special items. I've been working on it for 6 long days now (and should deliver part of it next friday), so I'm not very happy at the moment. I just saved the earlier version of the file with another name, so I hope that one isn't corrupted.
    So, my questions are:
    -     How to restart Indesign?
    -     Can I save the last version?
    Thanks in advance.

    As it's already crashed once,
    I suggest that you use File>Export (or File>Save) and choose IDML as the format.
    Open that in InDesign (it opens as untitled)
    File>Save
    And save it as a new version of your file.
    That may help clear up what caused the crash in the first place.

    I have CS2 and I use it almost every day.. Today when I tried to launch it, a prompt came up saying my Activation was no longer valid and it closed automatically.  Then when I tried to re-open it, a prompt came up saying "A serious error has occured"  Please re-install the software...  I have no idea where my software is... That was many many years ago?  HELP!!

    When you go to the download page, you must do two things:
    Download this file: PhSp_CS2_English.exe on the download page.
    Use the serial number on the download page in order to install your non-activation copy.
    Do not use your old CD or serial number. It no longer works.
    If you have Windows 7, the advice is to turn off UAC and run the installer as Administrator.

  • Trying to update MacBook Pro, OS X. Yosemite from 10.10.2 to 10.10.3 (Recovery Update 1.0). After downloading the update, the Mac flips to automatically restarts and launches "Software UpdateLauncher." The Mac doesn't respond to any command.

    Once I download the update (OS X Yosemite, 10.10.3, Recovery Update 1.0), after the system automatically restarts, the launch page is "Software Update Launcher." Looks like a typical menu bar, and the rest of the screen is blank. None of the commands work, though. Even trying to shut down via the menu doesn't work, and the only way to get past the page is a hard shutdown and restart. Once restarting, everything works as it should EXCEPT the update did not install.
    This same thing happened with the previous Yosemite update, and I wound up taking the laptop to the Genius bar where no one was familiar with the error. After running virtually every diagnostic, removing a suspected out of date security application (Intego), the decision was to restore the Mac to factory pristine state. OUCH.
    We have a MacBook Air, which has the same OS version and security and other third party software as the Pro, and it has not experienced this problem.
    I've made another appointment at the Genius Bar, but I sure as heck don't relish the idea of having to wipe my Pro clean again and having to start all over. Time Machine backups are great, but they don't restore my system as though nothing happened.
    Any suggestions or proven remedies??
    Thanks.

    Another thing that is probably relevant now that I think of it:
    I forgot that the xcode_3.2.6_and_ios_sdk_4.3.dmg file would not open on it's own. It would get all the way through the verification process and then display "invalid checksum". I had selected Skip to bypass the verification process in the hopes that it would install anyways. Just ejected it and tried to verify it again, same "invalid checksum" error.
    I've looked for solutions online and everybody just says to keep downloading it/have a wired connection and to use Safari... I've downloaded the thing 5 times now meeting both of those requirements and the exact same issue occurs every time.

    How can I STOP iTunes from automatically trying to add podcasts to my iPod when I plug it in and sync it, so I can manage the files? I have already unchecked "Sync Podcasts" and "Automatically include,"yet EVERY time I sync it,it still transfers podcasts as the last step, and at other times randomly, when trying to just add some MP3's to a playlist, for example.  I can't seem to find any other option to uncheck, and can't find an answer from my so-far internet searching.

    erict, you blew me away with that suggestion! It was something so simple I couldnt believe I hadnt thought of it! But in the end it didn't work, which I was really surprised about. On Windows anytime anything was moved itunes was hoplessly lost, but on this mac it still kept up with everything. I tried renaming folders, moving folders, and even renaming moved folders but it still kept trying to import.
    I even went as far as deleting EVERYTHING i had moved to the Mac, which didnt really work. It still kept trying to import what wasnt there which made it continue to freeze up. However, after doing this it, the freezing was not nearly as bad. It gave me enough of a break to cancel it through the itunes dialog box at the top of the app. So in the end, thats all I really needed to do, only before I had deleted everything the freezing would not allow me to do it.
    So now Im reimporting everything again, only slowly, and only a few Artists at a time.

  • I am getting this response when I am trying to open a file: Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser."  What do I do?

    I am getting this response when I am trying to open a file: Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser.”  What do I do?  I have opened this up in the past without a problem. 

    Back up all data.
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Why are mysterious dk.html files automatically downloading upon launch of newly updated Safari Version 5.1.7 (6534.57.2)?

    Why are mysterious dk.html files automatically downloading upon launch of newly updated Safari Version 5.1.7 (6534.57.2)?  I updated last night and ever since, these files download as soon as I launch Safari.

    I've gotten these from multiple web sites, including Drudge and National Journal.
    It is my opinion that this behavior is a side effect of the latest Java update. Until this latest update, Apple has maintained its own version of Java. The latest update is Oracle Java.
    Apple's note on the Java for Mac OS X 10.6 update 11 includes this:
    On systems that have not already installed Java for Mac OS X 10.6 update 9 or later, this update will configure web browsers to not automatically run Java applets. Java applets may be re-enabled by clicking the region labeled "Inactive plug-in" on a web page. If no applets have been run for an extended period of time, the Java web plug-in will deactivate. 
    Looking at the innards of one file downloaded, it appears to be a JavaScript beacon from advertising.com for rubiconproject.com. These files are used to track web browsing activity. I suspect that this Java changed the way the beacon is served and Safari.

  • When trying to launch ITunes I get an error message saying that application fail to start because MSVCR80.dll file not found. Reinstalling app may fix problem.

    When trying to launch ITunes I get an error message saying that application fail to start because MSVCR80.dll file not found. Reinstalling app may fix problem.

    I've just (finally) managed to fix this problem today. I checked the Apple Support forums, and it seems a lot of people are having the same problem.
    I rang the Apple Support line, and the very helpful man (thanks Alan!) talked me through it stage by stage. If you go to the following page on the internet: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376   it takes you through the process. WARNING - it takes a little time!
    Basically, the first thing you have to do is go to your Program Files and double click on your iTunes folder. There'll be a number of files with the suffix .dll - you need to move all the .dll files from that folder to your desktop - you can simply click and drag them on the desktop..
    Next, uninstall iTunes - go to Control Panel / Add/Rempve Programs and when the list comes up remove iTunes. This will take a few minutes... Then reboot your computer.
    Next, go back to Control Panel / Add Remove and Remove - IN THIS ORDER -
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot again!
    Next, check in your Program Files that the iTunes folder is completely gone - if it has, great: if it hasn't, right-click on the folder and press Shift and Delete - it will say "Are you sure you want to completely remove the folder "iTunes"? Click on "Yes".
    Reboot!
    Then go to the iTunes download page and voila! It should download iTunes without any problems... well it did for me.... Good luck!

    Hi, I am trying to launch illustrator after downloading it onto a Mac. I go to apps in finder and click on Adobe Illustrator but there are no files - such as configuration etc. What should I do?

    Thanks for responding, I downloaded the Creative Cloud Installer which is sitting under Devices in my Finder and then installed the Ai app which is appearing under Applications in the finder. I notice that in the launch tutorial there is the Adobe Creative Cloud sitting in the Apps folder above Ai - I don't have this. Hmm what to do?

At the moment of typing this question upload animation plays infinitely

    that worked. turned off "block reported attack sites" in the security tab and can download. thanks.

  • Launch.ica files opening with Adobe Reader not Java

    I was trying to set up to get remote access to my server at work and one step was missed (loading the citrix software onto my computer), so when I tried to open it, it created a launch.ica file. I tried to open the file since it would not open automatically and selected Adobe Reader to open it. After we discovered the missing step and installed the citrix software on my computer, when I try to gain access (through a website on Mozilla Firefox) the file continues to try to open it in Adobe REader, rather than Java. I uninstalled Adobe, opened the file and was able to gain access, but when I re-installed Adobe, the launch again uses Adobe. Is there any way to get the .ica files disconnected from Adobe?

    I'm having the same problem.  I run Windows 7 Pro (64 bit), and I'm running Internet Explorer 8.  I have the problem
    when using Reader 10, so I deinstalled it and went back to Reader 9, I still have the same problem.

  • InDesign CS3 program will not open - Win XP - after trying to open corrupt file.

    Help! the program Adobe InDesign will not open up anymore.
    Here is the story and what I have tried. One week on the 16th my server crashed two of the three hard drives failed (RAID) I had the two replaced. Since then all seamed to be ok but few of files were missing and some that I tried to open would crash InDesign I assume that the files got corrupt from the HD's going bad. Server kept telling me to run CHKDSK utility. I ran it and and some of the files reappeared. Today, thinking that the Chkdsk utility had fixed the bad files I tried to open one of the files that caused InDesign to crash and it crashed again.
    Now I cannot open InDesign at all when I try to launch InDesign within 3-4 seconds Adobe will crash!  Reboot and try again same thing.
    I tried to delete the files in the Recovery folder thinking it was trying to open the corrupted file that it last tried to open. Same thing.
    I moved the preference folder to the desk top thinking that it might have been causing the problem - no change.
    I reinstalled InDesign over top of the existing program (did not uninstall first) rebooted and tried to launch - no change.
    I tried system restore, None of my restore points that I have tried (auto restore points) will restore my system for what ever reason.
    Please Help with any suggestions I need this fixed soon.

    Installing CS3 was a pain, and the installer is very sensitive to conflict with just about everything under the sun, so you need to run it in a bare-bones boot (but not safe mode). I turn off ALL non essential programs and services using MSConfig when doing a CS3 install.
    That said, yes, running the CS3 clean script will probably remove all things Adobe from the system. The Microsoft utility is much more benign than the description makes it sound -- it removes registry information for previous installations so there is no trace of them to confuse the OS. I'm not aware that it has removed anything other than what it was told to remove, but I've only had to use it once, I think.
    You can try a simple uninstall/reinstall first (and you should be able to remove and reinstall just ID from the suite if you use the original disks). That will certainly be faster and less painful than the clean script, but may not work. Seems odd that a serrver crash should have corrupted a local installation, though, so you might want to take a close look at the machine for other problems, perhaps some sort of malware invasion.
