Cannot open eps files on maverick oSX with CS6

I cannot open eps files on maverick oSX with CS6. AI and FW just hang and need to force quit to continue.
I have tried using FW but no success. I can open old files but no new ones (existing on my computer) since upgrading to Maverick on a Macbook air.
The files will open in Photoshop (as raster) and are able to be placed in ID.
No Plugins in AI or FW.
Latest Java update.

If you can't open them, but place them, then the files might have been created with a newer version (like CC) or they might just be (partly) corrupt.
You can try and create a new Illustrator file and place the EPS in it (embedded).

    elements 12 cannot open eps-files....what can I do??

    Hello miss a,
    please have a look there https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1334015?tstart=0 and see Corect answer: "Support for EPS files was dropped with PSE 11".  and have a look at consecutive number 8 (for PSE 12!): https://workspaces.acrobat.com/app.html#d=d7X1rXdE11yH0YHzrj7wog.
    If it's absolutely necessary to open these files you could use a trial version of PSE 12 for a while. But have a look at the restrictions at the end of the thread.

  • Cannot open dmg files in mavericks

    After installing Mavericks on my iMac I cannot open dmg-files. All that happens is that the system tells me "The following disk images couldn't be opened", with the reason "no mountable file systems".
    Now, all I can find when discussing this issue is that "your download is corrupted" or "check your disk" or "reinstall Mavericks!". I have checked and rechecked the files, they are complete and should work. My disk is checked and I have reinstalled Mavericks but nothing happens.
    It seems to be a fairly new/rare problem, I can't find any discussion on this problem elsewhere...

    I'm having the same problem. I don't have any answers. But here's some information about what I'm seeing that might help someone sort this out.
    I recently upgraded to Mavericks
    Both newly downloaded dmg files and ones that were downloaded and sucessfully opened under a previous version of OS X cannot be opened now
    I have two user accounts on the same machine. On one I can open dmgs without problem. On the other I get the error.
    I'm using the same browser (chrome) on both accounts to download the same disk image, with different results.
    Both accounts are admin accounts
    I transferred the disk image that opened properly on my main account to the second account's ~/public/drop box folder and the second account could not open the image.

  • I cannot open eps files

    What is going on with .eps files! 95% of my work is saved a .eps because not everyone uses Adobe! Now I cannot open or save and open .eps files on all my machines! Is there a software problem with the new CC2014 and CC?
    I have work to doe and I have been unable to use Distiller or Acrobat to convert these .eps files into PDFs. I am running on Windows 7 Ultimate, intel i7 processor 920 @ 2.67GHz, 8 gigs of ram, Nvida Ge Force GTX 650 Ti Boost  Raid 0.
    Is there a work around!

    Please describe your workflow step by step.
    Also: where do you save the files?

  • Cannot open EPS files in illustrator

    I am running illustrator CS6 16.0.4 on an iMac (new). I get the following error when trying to open some EPS files "can't open this illustrator file. the file was generated with a newer version of illustrator and cannot be opened. Please resave in a format compatible with your version of illustrator". As far as I can see I am running the latest version of illustrator and have updated everything that is available. I am having to get the files resaved in older versions to open

    I encountered this issue today when another designer sent us an EPS file from a newer version of AI. We use CS5 and are perfectly happy with the functionality - just because Adobe decides to update their software does not mean the additions they've made have value to us, so we rarely upgrade unless absolutely necessary. The plugins for our equipment aren't always readily compatible with newest version of Adobe products, so sometimes we have to skip a version entirely to avoid shutting the whole shop down.  Also, FWIW we don't always get a say in how files are sent to us. We own a commercial sign shop, and sometimes we have to work with completely mangled files. "Just don't use EPS" isn't always a realistic option when the customer hired a hack to design their logo.
    Anyway, here's how we solved this version compatibility problem: Please note we are on a Mac platform. Open the newer EPS files in Preview and then Save As a PDF. Preview will save to a clean version of PDF that is compatible with earlier versions of AI, at least it did for us. I did not test for transparency, but it did a good job of preserving the original file's colors, line weights, and gradients.
    For those who might question our logic about upgrades, think about this: Software updates are effectively legalized extortion. If Ticonderoga makes a new updated pencil, that doesn't give them the right to break into your office and snap all your existing pencils in half, but the software industry gets away with this (along with making crazy profits), because "licensing." I flat out refuse to downgrade to a software that requires a monthly tithe to the software gods. Until some feature comes out that we absolutely must have, we'll keep our older machines with CS5 going as long as they run.

  • Cannot open CR2 files from Canon T4i with Photoshop CS5

    Please help

    tienstran,
    Don't hold your breath.  You will NEVER be able to  open raw files from a Digital Rebel T4i EOS 650D EOS Kiss X4i directly in CS5.
    There wil not be any further updates for CS5, ever.  The last version of ACR that will ever run with CS5 is ACR 6.7.1, and you are correct that you need at least ACR 7.1 (or higher) to open your files.
    On the other hand, you are wrong about support for your camera in the free Adobe DNG Converter.  All versions of the Adobe DNG Converter form 7.1 and up—including the Adobe DNG Converter 8.1—do support your camera model.
    Once a version of either ACR or the Adobe DNG Converter supports a given camera model, all subsequent versions will continue to support it.
    So, go and download the Adobe DNG Converter 8.1 and convert your raw Canon files to raw DNG files that you can now open in any version of ACR that will run with CS5.
    Remember:  the Adobe DNG Converter works on folders containing your raw files, it does not see the individual files in the folder.  You must point the Adobe DNG Converter to the folder itself, not the files.

  • Cannot open RAW file from Canon 1DX in CS6. I updated Camera Raw, PS, and Bridge. Also, I do not now see how to determine the version of Camera Raw that is installed. I have Mac Pro 1,1 running Snow Leopard.

    Updates did not install a version of ACR that would handle the files. I found the link to ACR 8.7 on another thread, but it wouldn't install on Snow Leopard.

    Fortunately I had an available install of Lion, and that did the trick -- ACR 8.7 is now installed and I can see my images! Thanks for your help.

  • With OSX 10.8.5 cannot open PDF files with 11.0.04?

    using OSX 10.8.5 cannot open PDF files from Xerox Docushare with recently downloaded PDF 11.0.04

    That crash is a known bug in Apple's display code.
    But it's the QuickDraw code, which Apple does not want to fix.
    There is nothing we can do about that OS bug, other than to suggest using a more recent version of Photoshop written to the Cocoa APIs.

  • Cannot open pdf file with Firefox 11.0

    Firefox automatically upgrades the version I am using. Since it was recently upgraded I cannot open pdf files. Am faced with a blank page. I went through some of the suggestions on these pages and when I opened the Tools window, there is a warning:
    Firefox PDF Plugin for Mac OS X is incompatible with Firefox 11!
    Is there a way around it? Or is it time to say goodbye to Firefox and move to Safari?

    When Firefox updates, it turns
    off add-ons that are not
    compatible with the new
    version. In addition, add-ons
    that may have been
    automatically installed by other
    programs without your

    ons) have been disabled. For

  • Just installed Photoshop Elements 13 - how to open .eps files?

    I used to work with photoshop elements, never had a problem to open .eps files.
    but with the latest version photoshop elements 13 unfortunately i cannot open .eps files anymore.
    Do you have any idea how to solve this problem?
    Or do I have to buy another photoshop software....
    Thanks!

    I was rudely told by adobe there is no way to open an eps file. When I tried to respond he
    canceled our chat. But I read you can make it tiff? and do it that way? I tried to no avail. I paid 119 for this upgrade and now can't do what I need to. Any thoughts anyone to solve this problem? I have graphicstock.com and a lot of their files are either, jpg, png, eps , pdf files. I don't know why Adobe
    took away this and image extractor. Elements 13 is not what  I thought it would be. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have been watching youtube videos to no avail.

  • HP DESKJET INK ADVANT K209a-z, extraction fialed : error message "0 cannot open output file"

    D/Sir,
    I have extracted hp deskjet int advant k209a-z driver using 7zip.
    I was getting the error "Extraction Failed: Cannot Open Output File".  
    On extract with 7-zip, I get the message: 
        0 can not open output file "<folders>/Autorun.inf" 
    I am on business laptop with Windows XP but tried with Admininstrator login as well.
    Please help me. How to extract it sucessfully?

    That type of error message may be indicative of a bad file. Did you download it on the web? If so, try again, but do not use a download manager or program to do it, those can occasionally cause problems with compressed files.
    It could be possible, also, that some sort of security program on your laptop is blocking the extraction process. If that is the case you should be able to find some error in the Windows event viewer through the control panel.

  • I cannot open dmg files with Yosemite

    So installed Yosemite. All seemed fine but
    I now cannot open dmg files. If I double click on them, nothing happens. If I say open with "diskimagemounter" nothing happens. If I say open with Disk Utility it says wrong version of Disk Utility. If I move them back to a computer with Mavericks, they open fine. Repaired permissions and no change.
    What do I do please?

    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Download and reinstall the 10.10.1 update.

  • I have an old mpg video file, taken with a very early model "smart phone", that opens and plays fine in my newly "rebuilt" iPhoto library. I cannot open, edit it or share it with any other software. How can I fix it, to be able to do anything with it?

    I have an old mpg video file, taken with a very early model "smart phone", that opens and plays fine in my newly "rebuilt" iPhoto library. I cannot open, edit it or share it with any other software. How can I fix it, to be able to do anything with it?
    Detail:
    I've recently purchaced a 4TB Thunderbolt drive to store my "vast" music and photo libraries. iPhoto had an issue reading the moved library, so I bought and used iPhoto Library Manager to "rebuild" it. Apart from much of the original data such as date taken & camera used etc, it appears to be working well. The aforementioned mpg video was taken some 9 years ago, using an early model "iMate" smart phone, and opens and plays fine on iPhoto, but I cannot open it with anything else, (I've tried iMovie, VLC players, Wondershare and Handbrake) nor can I share it. I just want to edit it, and share it with family.
    Any help would be appreciated...

    No - not iMovie, VLC, Wondershare or Handbrake... Quick time starts with a "CONVERTING", then I get
    I've looked at the "tell me more" links, tried downloading some of the movie players there. I'm begining to think the file is corrupt.
    Thanks for getting back to me again though - appreciate it...

  • I have photoshop CC. I cannot open two files such as Tiffs and view them side by side. When I open the second file it overrides the first. Do I need to do something with preferences?

    What happens when you try to use the clone stamp tool?
    It should work with the images side by side.
    You can setup photoshop cc to be like photoshop cs2 was on your other mac, by going to Photoshop>Preferences>Interface and unchecking
    Open Documents as Tabs and Enable Floating Document Window Docking
    And also going to Window and unchecking Application Frame
