Cannot open ... because file's resource map is incorrect.

I need the ability to open QT files and FCP movies in QT 6.0.1 while booted to OS 9.2.2. However, even though the files open fine in OSX QT7 and FCP 5 (as well as FCP3) applications, I very often get an error message when trying to open them in OS9 with QT6:
Cannot open "<flename>" because a file's resource map was incorrect.
Is there a utility to fix this?
Thansk,
Cris

  • Satellite U300 PSU3DA: error: cannot open attribute file executing C-Maps

    I have a U300 PSU3DA which I changed from Vista to XP.
    This is because my main use of the computer will be for navigation (boat) and I was told most navigation programs will run better with XP. I have hardly nothing on my laptop so far, and already the system seems to be slow and freezing too often.
    My question now is about the program C-Maps which I've just installed and which won't open. It keeps saying "Eorror: cannot open attribute file".
    What does that mean? I have desinstall and reinstall the program, and it keeps coming up with this message.
    I had a look around the device manager and the only thing that seems wrong is the PCI memory controller.
    I did a bit of a search on this and it seems that this driver is not necessary for XP? Is that so?
    Could it be a cause of the C-Maps program not working?
    Thanks in advance.

    > I did a bit of a search on this and it seems that this driver is not necessary for XP? Is that so?
    Where did you read this info?
    I dont know if the driver is necessary but you get all drivers on the Toshiba website.
    For your problem with C-Maps, I think the best is you contact the C-Maps support. Here it is a forum for Toshiba laptops.

  • Am unable to install iTunes.  Every time it says it cannot open because MSVCR80.dll is missing

    Every time I install iTunes the message says it cannot open because file MSVCR80.dll is missing.  Help!

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • Error Message: There was an error opening this document. Acrobat cannot open this file because a task is still active in Acrobat.

    I've tried Command Q to close;  Tried Adobe Reader Tool Bar but closing is grayed out;  I'ved held the power button for hard close, but everytime I try to open a .pdf I get this message: 
    There was an error opening this document. Acrobat cannot open this file because a task is still active in Acrobat.
    I'm not extremely technical, but I can follow directions if someone can help!
    Thanks

    Looks like it got stuck.
    You can switch to another program or the Finder (click on desktop) and Apple menu > Force Quit > Adobe
    You can press and hold the power button, it's a emergency force shutdown which you can boot normally and it should be fine.

  • Cannot open the file because the open options are incorrect

    I'm trying to iterate through a folder of images, open each one of them, duplicate them into another photoshop file and close the individual image. This code works great on a PC (Photoshop CS3), but when I run it on our macs (Photoshop CS3) I will receive the following error on random images. "Error: Cannot open the file because the open options are incorrect" Does anyone know how to solve this problem? I've read about possibly setting the OpenDocumentType but have not seen an example anywhere. This error will sometimes occur after loading in one image or sometimes after 20 images. Sometimes I run it on the same directory multiple times all with various points of error. Sometimes every images is loaded. Any help would be much appreciated. Sample code is below.
    i //CODE BELOW
    i //allows the user to select an folder full of images
    b var inputFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Select a folder that contains the files you want added as layers.");
    b var fileList = inputFolder.getFiles();
    b var tempRef = app.open(tempName);
    b for (var i = 0; i < fileList.length; i++)
    b {
    b var tempName = fileList[i];
    b var tempStringName = fileList[i].toString();
    i //used to check if the file in the directory does in fact contain the .png extension
    b var reducedFileName = tempStringName.substring(tempStringName.lastIndexOf("/")+1);
    b if(reducedFileName.substring((reducedFileName.length - 4),(reducedFileName.length)) != ".png" || reducedFileName.substring((reducedFileName.length - 4),(reducedFileName.length)) != ".PNG")
    b {
    i //setting reference to opened docuement PNG file
    i //This seems to be the section throwing the error. Surrounding with Try Catch revealse the Error noted above
    b var tempRef = app.open(tempName);
    i //setting a tempName variable to the PNG file name
    b var tempName = app.activeDocument.name;
    i //setting reference to the active layer in the file
    b var graphicLayer = app.activeDocument.activeLayer;
    i //setting the PNG layer name to the PNG file
    b tempRef.layers[0].name = tempName;
    i //duplicating the image onto the opened Photoshop file
    b tempRef.layers[0].duplicate(backRef);
    i //closing the original PNG file without saving
    b tempRef.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
    b }
    b }

    It looks as if the folder contains non Photoshop files, one way around the problem would be to change
    var fileList = inputFolder.getFiles();
    To specify the file types you want to process IE:
    var fileList = inputFolder.getFiles(/\.(jpg|tif|psd|crw|cr2|nef|dcr|dc2|raw)$/i);

  • Elements 9 saved file "cannot open because it is the wrong type of file"

    I have Windows XP.  I just purchased Photoshop Elements 9.
    I open a raw, tiff or jpg image in Elements 9, make changes to it and then save it as a tiff or jpg.
    About a third of the time the icon for the saved image appears as a file and not a thumbnail of the image in my saved folder.
    When I try to re-open it in Elements 9 I get the message "Cannot open because it is the wrong type of file"
    I never had this problem with Elements 7.
    Please help!

    Every camera model has its own raw format, and Adobe can't update the camera raw plug-in until it gets the information from the manufacturer, and the process takes a while. You shouldn't have to wait more than a couple of months for this. In the meantime you can use the manufacturer's software, or try downloading the latest DNG converter to see if it can make DNG files from your camera that will work in ACR.
    Incidentally, you're not talking to adobe here, just to other users like yourself.
    The standlalone DNG converter download is here:

    Just pick the DNG Converter  for your platform from the pulldown menu.

  • How come when i open my itunes it says "itunes cannot open because some of it's required files are missing. Please reinstall itunes." What do i do?

    last night i wanted to update my ipad to 4.3 and when i tried to; it told me i had to download the new itunes too. so i tried downloading the new updated version on itunes, and this morning when i tried to open my itunes it said "itumes cannot open because some of it's required files are missing. Please reinstall itunes." what do i do?

    With that one, I think we should try getting the malware possibilities off the table first.
    Try downloading and installing the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware. Update your MBAM definitions and then run a full scan of the PC. (Takes about 2 hour on my Lenovo.)
    http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
    Does the scan find any infections? If so, please paste the contents of the log file for the scan in a reply here so we can have a look.

  • I worked on a Photshop file yesterday, but today, I received a notification that the file cannot open because it is incompatible. Please help!

    The notification simply states that the file is incompatible with my current version of Photoshop, which is crazy because it was working fine until now and I need to work on this and multiple other files.

    Thank you!

  • Cannot open Word File because "there are problems with the contents"

    Hi Everyone,
    I cannot open Word File because "there are problems with the contents" unspecified error; Location: 2.  Please help as I need this doc for work meeting this morning.  Nothing special about this doc but links were copied into it???  However I do that all the time.  I have never had this happen before.  I am on a 2010 machine.  I just ran a disk permissions repaired and emptied the trash but still no dice.  I had several other word docs up as well when I got up this morning but they are all fine.  I do not have Time Capsule turned on (which I need to do but that will be another thread/question).
    Thank you,
    sb

    Ok, I found a way to open this but not sure what happened to begin with and the formatting setup is different now, almost like text editor?  Not sure what happened here but hope it doesn't happen again?

  • TS2776 Outlook cannot open the file because it is not associated with the default identity.

    Outlook cannot open the file because it is not associated with the default identity.

    I've had the same problem. Even though you check the box to save it as Keynote '08, it does not open in ')8 (I get the same message)...you need to reopen it in '09.
    I have even changed the name of the file in '08 and eventually get the same message.
    I believe that once you open it in '09, you're committed to that.
    Let me know if you have better luck.

  • Excel cannot open the file because the file format or file extension is not valid

    pls help 

    Hi,
    In regarding of the issue, please provide us more information to assist you better.
    Which Office version are you using? Office 2013 or other.
    Did the issue occur with the special file or every file?
    Then, based on your error message, this problem has been confirmed to be caused by malware on the affected machine. There are now two known variants of malware which causes this problem: Win32/Crilock.A and
    Win32/Buma!rts. They have both been identified as a new family of ransomware.
    In order to clean your machine, run Microsoft Safety Scanner (http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx). If infected, Safety Scanner should clean the virus from
    the system, however it will not repair corrupted files. You will still need to restore those from a backup. A detailed analysis of affected files submitted to Microsoft for investigation has revealed the files are encrypted with a private
    and public key. The files cannot be recovered without the private key, which is more than likely held by the attacker. The premise of ransomware is such that if a person pays the ransom the key is provided to "unlock" the files.
