Cannot open .jpg files; says access denied.

I was working on some very special photos of grandsons, and I saved them as .jpg, but then the prompt started asking me to save them over & over. I did so for a while but then said "no" in order to close them. When I tried to open them again, access was denied. I then went to properties on each photo and unchecked the read-only box but access was denied there too. I opened properties again and the read-only box was then unchecked but I still get the same error message denying access. Once an error message said go to Windows Explorer to do something but cannot find that either. When I open the file box, I cannot view the photos as thumbnails, even though they all have .jpg extentions. See attached Please help??

Replied to your message...more things to look into if resetting the application preferences do not work.
These photos aren't on a DVD or CD are they? If so, I believe you'll need to copy them over to your hard disc (or external hard drive) and work on them from there.
Question: If you drag the jpgs into Photoshop Elements, do they open?
If they are on your hard drive, you might try taking ownership of the file(s).

Edit: You might be able to take ownership of the entire folder instead of each individual file. I think this is pretty much covered in the Microsoft link:

Cannot open .jpg files; says read-only and no access

I cannot open .jpg files I've been working on, even though I saved them as .jpg. The prompt kept asking me to save the files over & over. I did for a while then said NO to close the files. Now it says access is denied. Went to properties and tried to uncheck box for read-only, but it says I don't have access to do that. How can I get my files back...these were very special photos. Please help!

No...just PSE7. Unfortunately, when I tried to cut & paste the photos from
my camera disk to my hard drive, the problem photo completely disappeared.
When I go into recent history, the shortcuts are there, but none of them
work. They say the file has been moved or changed so...I don't even know
where they are for now. Do I need to call a repairman?

Cannot open jpg files in Preview? Error message "may be damaged or use a file format that preview does not recognize".

For some reason I cannot open jpg files from a co-worker who previosuly sent files without any problems. I just bought a MacBook Air with OS X Lion & Preview won't open the files. She sent the same files to another co-worker who opened without any issues? Help! Anyone have any suggestions after having the same or similar problem?

I don't have an answer as to why Preview doesn't want to cooperate, but if you only need to view the jpeg's and do nothing else to them, you can use two FREE applications that come already pre-installed on your Mac... Those are iPhoto and Safari. Just drag and drop over the application icon.
You can also find several FREE photo viewers in the APP STORE.

Windows Update for Security Essentials causes FDF-PDF network opening a file error:Access Denied

We open PDF files on mapped network drives, using FDF forms with fields. The latest Windows Update (12/15/14) KB2310138 is now causing the Adobe Reader application to say "Access Denied". I know it is the update for sure. I have one computer WITH the update that gets the error, another without that doesn't. If I change the "/F" reference in the FDF to use a local "C:" copy of the PDF, there is no error message.
Cannot undo the Windows Update. Although it shows on the history list, when I go into "Installed Updates" to undo it, it is not listed there.
Help!

Hi,
Are you still facing this issue?
Regards,
Ajlan Huda.

I installed windows 7 recently and also Adobre reader XI, and now I cannot open any of my previously created pdfs. Every time I get the message: Error opening the file. Access denied. What is going on?

Recently I had to install windows 7 in my notebook because XP doesn't have more support. Before installing I backed up all my files to my external HD. Now that I instaleed windows 7 and also installed Acrobat Reader XI, I just cannot open any of my pdf files created prior to installing windows 7.
Looking for help online, I found the solution of security and giving me access as an administrator to all my files, but it still keeps the same...
Can some one please help me out?? I really need to work on many of this files ASAP.
Thank you all in advance for you attention,
Best,
Henrique

Can you start Adobe Reader?

Cannot open jpg

Hi to all
i am new to mac and the only complaint i have is that for some reason i cannot open jpg files that i sent via BT. or any form
when i click on it the icon moves(like is going to open) but nothing comes on
i have Google it and it seems a problem with preview.
how can i go around this
is there another app for viewing pictures
i tried the iphoto but i have to manually send it there
i just want to double click on a picture and preview it easily

Preview should be able to view any true JPEG. If the JPEG is encoded in some proprietary format that may give you trouble. Verify your file is a .jpg file.
If it isn't they sent it to you as an improperly coded JPEG.
You can always try the Open With command from the contextual menu. Control-trackpad click gives you Open With as a contextual menu in the Finder. This lets you pick another application to open with.

Did you try to open teh fle by double-clicking its icon? If the file was made with an older version of Office, you may get that message. Try opeing PP and, from its "File" menu, see if you can open the ppt. I've foundthat often gets around that message and then yo ucan save the file from the newer version.
If that doesn't work, consider asking in the Microsoft Office: Mac forums here:
Office for Mac forums
PowerPoint is not an Apple product and it seems a lot of people around here avoid Office.

Try opening Disk Utility in your Applications-Utilities folder and repair permissions.

I get a message saying that "Excel cannot open the file

Every now and then, when I try opening an Excel file, I get a message saying that "Excel cannot open the file 'file.xlsx' because the file format or the file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension
matches the format of the file.

I see this most often when a file has been transferred around a lot and gets corrupted due to bad sectors on hard drives,
bad thumb drives, etc...
Occasionally, I find a repair utility that will....kind of....fix it. You tend to lose all formatting and usually the user
would have to spend more time doing than life than simply starting from scratch. If on a file server, shadow copies
(previous versions) are a god send.
If it happens completely randomly, does it happen more often to the same group of people? Perhaps an update malfunctioned?
Reinstall Office? Try XLSX Open File Tool for recovery your documents (http://www.xlsx.openfiletool.com/)
There could be so many reasons this could happen, but all the above is where I'd start.

Keep getting error code 2048 when trying to open wmv files, says realplayer cannot open with the installed version of Quicktime, any suggestions?

Keep getting error code 2048 when trying to open wmv files, says realplayer cannot open with the installed version of Quicktime, any suggestions?

wmv is a Windows Media format. I don't know why Realplayer is coming into it since that deals primarily with Real format files and maybe a few generic formats.
You need
Free Flip4mac QuickTime player components - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx
After installation a new Flip4Mac pane will appear in System Preferences. Make sure you set the boxes to ensure that it will play WMV files in Quicktime.
or play the files with VLC
VLC media player - http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ - general media player that plays just about anything.
While you're at it you might install:
Perian codecs for Quicktime - http://www.perian.org - plugins to add functionality to Quicktime for playing additional audio and video formats
Quicktime audio problems, Perian, VLC - http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9013669 - read note about uninstalling prior DIVX support before installing Perian.
Perian doen't do WMV but it's handy to get many things to play in Quicktime.
Note, if these are protected WMV, nothing on a Mac will play those (unless you also have Windows installed).

A client has sent me an indesign file I cannot open. She says she has updated to Indesign CC 2014. I am a CC member and fully updated my own software but cannot open the file she has sent me, not even if she saves as an IDML, how do I resolve the problem?

There are a few things to try.
First, if this file came to you vial email attachment, it could have been corrupted. Ask her to zip the file and send it again. That sometimes helps.
I suppose there's a chance that the file is already zipped, so see if that's the case and unzip it if so.
If the file name doesn't end with .indd, add it and see if that helps.
If you are double-clicking, try File>Open from within InDesign.
Last (and I know this sounds like a joke, but I've seen it many times), sometimes people attach a Mac Alias or Windows Shortcut instead of the actual file. What is the file size? If it's really small, that might be the reason.
Also, no offense intended if some of this sounds like stuff you have already tried. I don't know what you know, so I'm just spit-balling.

Cannot open PDF files - generated response says I have to accept Licence Agreement. How?

Cannot open PDF files. Message generated says "Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User Licence Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser." Surely I must have accepted the Licence Agreement at the time of installation and am unable to "launch" Adobe reader. Anyone else had this issue please?

For Chrome I went went into the plugins: chrome://plugins/
The "Chrome PDF Viewer" was disabled. I reenabled it and it allowed me to view the PDFs again.

Cannot open project file with write access...

I have seen that this problem has been reported before but have yet to find a solution.
I have my project file in an external hard drive. When I plug the hard drive to another computer and want to save it I get this message:
"Cannot open project file with write access. The file may be locked or you don't have permission to write to this location. Select Save As..."
I don't want to Save As because other projects make reference to this file and also my Encore file will be messed up.
FYI both computers use Windows 7.
Any solutions?

Right click on the folder in Question and select properties. Then select the security tab. Make sure you add everyone to the user list. You do that by selecting edit and then add. Type in everyone in the object section and hit ok. Then select the everyone user and checkmark the Full control. Hit Apply and it will adjust the permissions for the folder and subfolders and files.
