Cannot open .swf files what so ever

Hi, I downloaded a few swf files and can't open it after trying everything.
I've installed multiple versions of Flash on my computer and tried opening it in all latest versions of Firefox, Chrome and IE. I've downloaded multiple standalone versions of flash but as soon as I browse for the swf file, then press open it just closes the program. I've tried turning my firewall off just incase it could of been that and once again all the issues just repeated.
In Firefox and Chrome I get a white screen and when I right click it says "Movie not loaded". In IE, I get a black screen and when I right click it says "Movie not loaded".

Local SWF files will play with the standalone Flash Player (Projector). You can download it from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
Note that the download is the player, not an installer, so you will have to make the file association manually.

Cannot Open .SWF file

Hi Expert,
I am a fresh man to Xcelsius
I met a issue which may be very simple to you but I do not know how to solve it
I create one Dashboard via Xcelsius 2008 SP3 then export it into .SWF file
Then when I open .SWF file vie IE8, it always ask me to open/save/cancel this file (like you download one file into your local PC)
If I choose open, it will repeat the steps to ask me to open/save/cancel.
But my colleage could open this doucment directly without any issue
Could you kindly let me know how solve it?
Thanks and best regards
Alex yang

Hi Yung,
While exporting ,export the Xcelsius dashboard to bo enterprise which asks the server name,user id and password.
Here select the folder where you want to save.Then defaultly it ll store in swf format.
Next time open your InfoView url in IE like http://servername:8080/InfoViewApp.
Go to public folder-->then folder.Here open the Dashboard ,then it will show the dash board.
Thanks & Regards

NeoOffice is slow compared to some programs, but it is the most accurate at opening Excel spreadsheets.
iWork does not open spreadsheets because it does not have a spreadsheet program. Check back in January to see if Apple add a spreadsheet to iWork '07, and in the meantime let Apple know that you want one.

I can not afford the cS6 subcription my trial period is over cannot open adobe files What can I do?

Trial subcription for CS6 is over decided not to purchase. Now I cannot open non of my adobe files.

Not sure what you expect. Adobe specific file formats can only be opened with Adobe apps and that is that. Wasn't that obvious from the start? Not meaning to be rude, but clearly Adobe is a company that makes its business by selling software. They surely don't mean for people to create stuff in their trial versions and then run off to competitors or use free software even. It's the nature of the beast. Only generic, publicly documented, non-proprietary formats like PDF, EPS, HTML, RTF or image formats like JPEG, PNG, BMP etc. will open in other programs without limitations. Some programs may be able to open some Adobe formats like PSD, but always with limitations.

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

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

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.

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?

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

I cannot open InDesign files after upgrading to CS6.

Error message is "Cannot open the file *.indd. Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug in that support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application" Can anyone help!

That message means exactly what it says, more or less. The three possibilities are it isn't an InDesign file at all (we see that here a lot), there is a .idlk lock file in the same folder (delete it), or the file has been damaged (frequently happens with flash drives).
If you open the file in a plain text editor like NotePad or TextEdit (it will look like gibberish) and paste the first few lines here we may be able to tell you if the file is damaged or not an InDesign file.

I am running InDesign CS5.5 and trying to open an In Design File but getting an error message. " Cannot open the file "PDavidLCover.indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file me be open in another application."Please help I really need to get this file open.

Since you've shown us the folder contents it's a good bet it isn't in use (no lock file). And it doesn't look like the file is mis-named as there doesn't seem to be anything else there that would be the .indd file (but just in case, open it in TextEdit and paste the first few lines here so we can see what the file header says), so the most likely case is the file is damaged. Is that on a removable device of some sort?
You can try the tool at Repair corrupt InDesign Adobe files on Mac OS X or send me a link to the file by private message and I'll try the recovery tool I have for Windows.

I am trying to run this package as an sql server agent job and server is installed on my Machine. I have created proxy account with my own credential to execute it. I have full excess to the spread sheet and can open it in an excel program. Please
suggest what could be the reason why sql job is not able to access this spreadsheet. I can think of below reasons
File is password protected and I am not using its password to unlock it?
My domain account is a part of It Admin group with high previllages
when I installed my SQL server I installed it as a standalone instance of SQL server?
please advise.
regards
JKH

Hi Jahangir,
Based on the error message that "The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file ''. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.", there are two causes:
The account that SQL Agent is using does not have the correct permissions for the file or for the folder that contains the file.
Another process or user has the file open.
The following resolutions correspond to the previous list of causes:
Since you use a network path to the file (UNC), check the account permissions on the share, the file, and the folder.
The "another user" may be Microsoft Visual InterDev. Close any Visual InterDev projects that contain a data connection to the file. Please close all instances of excel file and re-run the package.
Besides, we can use a tool like
SQL Server Profiler to see what is happening when you run the package.
Thanks,

Help - "Acrobat is being used by another application and cannot open PDF files until the other application is closed."

Hello,
I searched this site and google for this error terminology and come up dry. I support a user who has been for years using Acrobat 5 (yes, I know...) to read files in a client DB program, as well as other PDF files on their PC. In the last week or so, they have started gatting this error "Acrobat is being used by another application and cannot open PDF files until the other application is closed." any time they attempt to open a PDF file attached to an email (via Outlook).
It is my understanding that they cannot upgrade to a newer version of Acrobat because of limitations of their client software, but had not previously had any issues viewing PDF notes from the DB, and PDF attachments in their email.
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing, as well as tried using Adobe Reader 7 & 9 in conjunction with Acrobat to try to get around this issue, but have not been successful.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jesse

I don't have an answer to your technical problem. The product I assume is Acrobat that you are talking about (based on the post title), Adobe is the company name. This is a good place to ask questions on Acrobat if folks can figure out what you are talking about. They will ask for the product version number (like AA9.3.3), operating system, and other applications if appropriate. Also, just what you are doing that generates the message.
As for Adobe, you are not likely to get an answer from them here in the user forum. You will be lucky if you can get an answer if you can contact them and not be on hold for more than an hour (sorry, this is why a lot of folks end up in the forum).
So, to help others try to answer your question, what are the products and versions involved? What OS? What are you doing when the message comes up.

I have updated to Keynote 6.1, but I still have 5.3 and I cannot open the file I just created in 6.1.

I have updated to Keynote 6.1, my App Store says I did it 2/1/14, I just created a new slideshow in 6.1 tonight, saved it all the way through while creating it, and when finished, saved it one more time, and closed the file. I treid to open it again, but I get an error message stating I need a newer version of Keynote to open the presentation. I check the "About Keynote", and apparently I still have 5.3 and I cannot open the file I just created in 6.1. I try changing the file to open with 5.3, but it won't do that either! The App Store won't let me re-download it. How do I get 6.1 back??? I need to reopen the file I just created.

I am finding that when I launch keynote from the Docking Station and it opens Keynote 5.3, so I command Q and close it. I then go to Finder, go to the Keynote slideshow I created in 6.1 and now cannot open, and CAN open the slideshow from Finder, which it actually open the file in Keynote 6.1.
I emptied my Trash.
What the heck is up with this???? And how do I fix it??
