Can't open Windows-formatted disk

My accountant sent me a CD-R with my Quickbooks file on it. The disk name is UDFREADER. When I open the disk, I see only three things: Autorun.inf, Udfrchk.exe, and Udfrinst.zl.
I looked at the disk with Disk Utility, which shows it as 9.4 MB Untitled, and beneath that, as UDFREADER.
The fact that it reads as 9.4 MB suggests that my file is on there, but all I see are the three listed above, which are all small (KB-sized) files.
Is my QB file on here, and I just can't see it?
BC

The .exe file and .zl file are kind of suspicious to me. I don't think they should be there if the disc is only supposed to contain QB files. Its entirely possible the disc was burned incorrectly with the wrong files.

  • I've been getting the error message "The disk you inserted was not readable by the computer". I can't open system preferences, disk utility, or Time Machine. I'm guessing it has something to do with my external hard drive, although it hasn't been touched.

    I've been getting the error message "The disk you inserted was not readable by the computer". I can't open system preferences, disk utility, or Time Machine. I'm guessing it has something to do with my external hard drive, although it hasn't been touched lately, but I can't figure out how to solve the problem. Any suggestions? Thank you!

    Thanks for your quick response. I had a look at your discussion... I tried it on a Windows machine and I thought that was compatible with ExFAT?
    Therefore I need to attempt to use my external hard drive with a machine that boasts OS X 10.6.5 or above and then it should work?
    Thanks

  • I have a Nikon D810, I have a trial version Ligtroom 5 and I can not open NEF format, help me please.

    I have nikon D810 , i can not open Nef format .

    LR 5.6 is needed, and your destination needs to be writable by LR, and you cannot have touched the files with Nikon software that is old, like what you might have used with your previous Nikon camera, to transfer or view the images before importing into LR.
    Obsolete Nikon software changes something in the metadata of newer-camera NEFs that makes the raw files unrecognizable to Adobe software.  You can correct the corruption with a utility from here:

  • Error # 1 can not open window

    when i try to do a pano thru photomerge in pse11 on a mac i get the message error 1 can not open window. this was after i tried to fix error 22. i held down the com,option,shift keys just after a started photoshop aditor. help steve

    Quoting from another thread -
    Definitely try doing a File > Save For Web using the Photoshop Elements Editor (be sure not to save over your original photos), and then try to do a Photomerge Panorama on the resulting images.
    Photomerge apparently has some issues with some kind(s) of EXIF metadata in files, and using Safe For Web strips this information out of the file.
    This has worked for most (or perhaps all) of those that mentioned having this issue in this thread.

  • Can't open external Firewire disk after upgrade to Leopard

    I recently upgraded a PowerBook G4 from 10.4.11(?) to 10.5.5. Now I cannot open its external disk, a LaCie 400 GB Firewire disk, model number 300925, like this: http://www.amazon.com/Lacie-400GB-7200Rpm-Firewire-300925/dp/B00066989Mreport
    The disk's icon appears on the desktop after it is plugged in. After double clicking to open it, the pinwheel cursor spins for a while, then Finder appears to restart, redrawing the desktop. When I have the Activity Monitor open during this, I see a process called ReportCrash run for a while before the Finder reset.
    Does anyone recognize this symptom? Is there a way to see what is being reported by ReportCrash?

    The Genius was skeptical that this was a problem between Leopard and a given disk. Indeed his first test was to boot my laptop from a clean install of Leopard on his own external FireWire drive. Running this way I had no problem opening my external disk from my laptop, running his fresh copy of OSX 10.5.something.
    His theory was that something leftover in my configuration files (in /Library/Preferences) from a previous OS was causing the Finder crash while opening a FireWire disk under Leopard. (Since this machine is four years old, there has been a lot of opportunities for kruft to collect.) His suggestion was do a backup (complicated by the fact that I can't open my backup disk, d'oh!) then to do a clean install of Leopard, and then copy back my user folder.
    I wish there was a smaller hammer I could use, like setting aside some magic .plist file... Any hints?

  • Bootcamp can only open Windows 7 in Safe Mode

    I've been using Bootcamp to play my old computer games on my Macbook Pro for about two years now, and I've never had any issues before now. Last night, I bought a game from Origin and found that it was taking a lot longer to download than I had expected, so after about four hours I decided to go to bed. I changed my settings in Windows to make sure the computer would not sleep when I closed the lid, but later forgot that I had done this an ended up leaving the laptop slightly open all night while I slept. I turned the display and keyboard brightness all the way down. When I went to check on my download this morning, I found that the computer had shut down and brought me back to the Mac login. But ever since then I haven't been able to get back to Windows. Every time I select it in Bootcamp, I briefly see a Windows loading screen and then I am taken to a plain black screen where I can't do anything. I can open Windows with Safe Mode, but that doesn't really seem to be getting me anywhere.
    Can anyone tell me what might be wrong? Did I mess something up by leaving the computer open all night? Is there any way the display brightness might still be turned off and that's why I'm seeing a black screen (that seems like a bit of a dumb question, but I haven't been able to adjust the brightness levels during any of my attempts to start Windows, so I'm curious)?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

  • Can't open raw format files in photoshop elements 3.0

    I'm sure this question has been posed here 1,000 times already, and I've just spent over an hour surfing the web, using adobe on-line support, etc. -- too much to sift through, and none of it giving me a simple answer.
    So here's the question:
    - Using Windows XP
    - I have a Nikon D40
    - Photoshop Elements 3.0
    - 2.3 Camera Raw Plug In
    From what I am able to gather, I SHOULD be able to open raw format files using PE 3.0, but I get the various error messages:
    "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document".
    "Could not complete your request because the file-format module cannot parse the file".
    Am I missing some sort of simple step before I start downloading plug-ins I don't need and messing up all the settings on my computer? Any help would be appreciated, and once again, apologies if I'm repeating a question that's been asked a million times before.

    Support for the Nikon D40 was added in Camera Raw version 3.7. So you would need Photoshop Elements 4.0 or later to be able to use that.
    To use your version you may need to download the free DNG converter from http://www.adobe.com/products/dng/ and convert your D40 files from NEF to DNG.

  • How can i open windows in separate domains in air?

    I need to partition my windows into separate domains in a desktop application. I have a MMOG that was running several .swf instances at a time that has been converted to AIR to take advantage of some of the AIR only api's.  Now I have found it is not possible to open more than a single instance of an AIR app (wish someone would have said something BEFORE I spent 2 months upgrading  this old Flex 3 app!)
    Before I have fits trying to un-single the singletons (since it would not get me far anyway) would someone please tell me how to open AIR desktop windows in separate applicationDomains?

    You can't. Windows Media Player does not exist for the iPad.
    What exactly are you trying to do?
    If you want to play some .wmv files, then search the AppStore for "wmv player" and download a player app.

  • Can not open windows exe files.

    I have enrolled at uni by correspondence and can not open any forums that have being created by adobe captivate ( mostly exe files ) with my mac. I do not run any windows with my computer the lecturer has emailed me that previous students have open these files by running them on a mac with a windows emulator.
    Any help would be appreciated

    Hi Kristen and welcome to Discussions,
    Mac OSX can not run .exe files, since these are meant to be run in Windows (originally MS-DOS, but that's another story )
    Apples BootCamp lets you run Windows on the 'Nativ' (real) hardware your Mac has, whereas any Virtualization app like Parallels, VMWare Fusion or VirtualBox runs Windows in a 'virtualized environment' (emulated) hardware.
    While these Virtualization apps are great for running the typical Office programs, they are not best suited for any programs, that need direct hardware access like games for example.
    Crossover Mac is an app which allows to run certain Windows programs without having to have/buy a Windows License/CD/DVD to install Windows.
    BootCamp: http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/bootcamp.html
    VMWare Fusion: http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/
    Parallels: http://www.parallels.com/en/desktop/
    VirtualBoX: http://www.virtualbox.org/
    Crossover Mac: http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxmac/
    For starters I would try VirtualBox (since it is free) and a Windows license you might own and see how it works.
    Hope it helps

  • Can't open Software Update, Disk Utility, or Repair Permissions

    Hello,
    I'm having some very strange issues with my OS 10.4.9. I can't open Software Update (it appears in the dock then disappears), the same happens with Disk Utility, and I can't install software. I know this is an OS problem as a tech support person at work was able to run these things successfully from the startup disk. This sounds like a corrupted preference file to me, but I'm not adept enough to know.
    Any help/feedback would be greatly appreciated.

  • Can't open mpg format

    I recently used a Sony HD camcorder shot some movies connected to the macbook tried to use iDVD didn't recognize format, so I dragged folder from camcorder to Mac hard drive, tried to open the mpg file using Quick time couldn't open it. iMovie too could not open.
    Asked an Apple store said only using Final Cut applications would make the movie not iMovie. So thinking of buying Final cut Express HD 3.5. But before I buy is there still a way where I can open my mpg file?

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    As FCE nor iMovie don't support natively new media captured on hard disk or media card or DVD, see those poste:

    You have to convert your material before importing in FCE.

  • Can't Open Windows Created CD

    One of my clients sent me a CD that was apparently created on his Windows box. When I insert the CD into my G4 or G5 I get a cannot recognize splash with the Initialize or eject options.
    I have never had this happen before. Is there anything I can do to open it or they can do to make it readable on a mac?
    Thx

    Ask your client to send you a CD formatted with ISO 9660 that is compatible with both platforms.

  • Can't install window xp (disk error)

    i want to install my window. but after i install it and it say disk error and tell me to press any key to restart.But i can't press any key,the keyboard is frozen.
    what should i do.any advice?

    1) The installation works fine on a separate internal empty disk drive. Just insert a SATA drive format it -Mac OS Extended (Journaled)- partition it with Boot Camp and install windows xp pro w/sp2 - OEM. It works. Windows evidently needs lots of uncluttered space with no competition. The more disk space it has the better this works. Obviously you need to have a computer that will accept more than one disk drive like a Mac Pro.
    2) The answer I am looking for, however, is how to successfully install windows xp on a partition of the main hard drive that is the Boot drive for OSX.
    3) There are two softwares on Version Tracker (Paragon NTFS 7.0.2 & NTFS-3G 2009.4.4) that can format the drive in NTFS but I have had no success in making the Windows start up after installing on the NTFS formatted partition.
    4) The answer needs to be either a utility that creates the right atmosphere for windows much like Parallels and VMWare do or a way to enter a couple lines of code that would direct windows to reformat the Boot Camp Partition in NTFS rather than immediately loading windows onto a FAT32 drive that will not boot. I'm not smart enough to create either of these. ----HELP----
    5) I am disappointed that Apple was not more specific in their "Boot Camp Setup and Installation Guide" by telling the user what versions of Windows will not work. I have one piece of software that has never been written for an Apple computer in the last ten years or longer and it is not going to happen in the foreseeable future so I need to run windows. ---Come on Apple solve the problem.----
