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; 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:

I am not able to use Firefox with Sharepoint - I can only open a file in read-only mode and cannot checkout the document and edit.

I would like to use Firefox with Sharepoint.
However, I am only able to open a file in "read only" mode whch means I cannot edit the document and save it. I am also not able to "check-out" a document in Sharepoint and edit it at the same time.

This may not work for everyone, but I solved this problem by clicking on the file name in sharepoint, not the document icon to the left of the name. This then brought up the various options, including checking out, editing, version history etc. It seems obvious but I have only just realised this!

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.

Cannot open PDF files with Reader XI message appears Adobe Reader has stopped working

Cannot open PDF files with Reader XI message appears Adobe Reader has stopped working. A problem has caused the program to stop working

Which Operating system you are using?
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)] and then try to open the file.

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

hi,
Read only means you cannot mofiy the file. This also includes that you cannot delete a readonly-file yes,
what i am doing is i have three button in my layout 'save','view' and 'delete'.
1.so when user press 'save' button after selecting the file then the file gets saved into the specified.
2. when user press 'view' button the file has to open in read only mode.
for this i have written above mentioned code(but still i am able to edit the file)
3.when user press 'delete' button the file has to be deleted from the specified location.
so my problem is after setting file to read only mode, i am able to edit but i am not able to delete it.
What i am using to set the file to read only mode is right?
Please help.
Thanks..

Cannot open Excel files on Windows share and ONLY Excel files

I'm browsing a Windows share and for whatever reason it will not let me open Excel files directly from the network location. If I view the Coverflow, I can see a a preview of the actual file as well as copy it to the desktop and open it.
I receive an error message that says "filename.xls could not be found."
I can open up any other file from the network location, but not Excel files.
I checked the file permissions and they mirror the other file types, it may be worth mentioning that I utilize network synchronization and view these files from a PC as well. I also noticed when I create a new file in that location, it will only appear in OS X and not Windows, but is still completely accessible.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks

Opening old files on read-only volumes

I do a lot of demos and presentations with (and about) Adobe Edge Animate, and discovered a flaw when opening files made by older versions, and stored on read-only media (like a remote public volume or folder). The file will open but Animate tries to "upgrade" it by immediately storing a (temporary) copy in the same location. This obviously won't work on locked or read-only media, so the application prompts there's a problem and the file cannot be used.
Of course I can simply copy the whole folder to my desktop or another location which is write-enableb. But maybe this could be dealt with in a more elegant manner ?

Hi Peter,
Thank you for your post.
We will test this issue and let you the result.

Open pdf files in read-only mode

Hi all,
I want to open a file and I want to have option rewrite the file while it's open in the Reader.
Is there any way how to open the file in the read-only mode and even from cmd in Windows?
Thanks in advance.

You can set security in the file to dissallow changesby going to File>Properties>Security in Acrobat. But you can't change anything with Reader.

Cannot open TIFF files since installing iTunes and QuickTime Player.

iTues+Quicktime is preventing use of Alternatiff, that is a Firefox plug-in TIFF image viewer, from displaying the image. Instead the Quicktime symbol appears but is unable to display the image. I uninstalled iTunes and without any other change, the plug-in works. I installed iTunes, making sure it is not selected as default media player. When iTunes started both it and Alternatiff plug-in functioned correctly. However, Upon exit from iTunes my TIFF viewer stopped working again. Uninstalling Quicktime (leaving iTunes) enables Altermatiff but then iTunes doesn't work
It is critical that I get bot iTunes and a TIFF viewer plug in to work.
HELP!!!
[email protected]

Excellent news, Bulent!
I hope Quicktime does not, later, try to take over again.
Good point ... next time you do a QuickTime update directly from the Website:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
... very near the end of the install, there should be a screen with a "Configure File/MIME types" button. Click the button, go to the MIME types, and make sure that that TIFF image entry is unchecked. That should avoid the problem in future.

I tried to open a file using reader 10. Now reader has taken over all my apps including explorer and live mail and nothing will open unless I uninstall reader. System is windows 7. How can I reverse this?

I was trying to open a file, the box came up saying that windows could not open the file and choose another program to open the file, I chose reader as it was the first option offered. Reader could not open the file either but when I closed the file I fount that nearly all the desktop icons had changed to reader icons and when I tried to open them a box comes up advising that reader cannot open that file. The only way that I can open my apps is to uninstall reader. When I uninstall reader the Icons return to normal. As soon as I re install reader all my icons change back to reader icons. How can I reverse this?

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.
