"Cannot place this file.  No filter found for requested operation"

Hello,
Saw earlier postings on this but not quite the same situation and/or the solutions didn't work.  Using InDesign CS 6.  Trying to place many JPEG files.  First one placed.  After that, stopped working.  Trying closing out of InDesign and restarting.  Checked show options.  Couldn't import into Illustrator.  Tried copy and paste.  Please help!  Deadline approaching.
Thank you!

No, they don't open in Photoshop - but I did try renaming the file name - not the extension but the filename itself as it was very long, including location, date and number.  Although cumbersome for the number of files I have, this seemed to do the trick.  Thank you!!!

  • Cannot place eps file "no filter found for requested operation"

    I have two compuers running CS3. One computer can place .eps files into an InDesign document with no problem. The other computer tries to place an .eps file into InDesign and they get "no filter found for requested operation." It is able to place .jpegs, pdfs but not .eps. In the meantime, I opened the .eps in Illustrator and saved it as a .tiff and then placed it into the InDesign document successfully but this is NOT a good solution as I have hundreds of .eps files I need to work with.
    How can I get this resolved?

    Try deleting preferences as outlined here. You might have to go so far as to reinstall InDesign, but I hope not.
    Also, AI is a much better format for placing Illustrator files than TIF or even EPS.

  • "Cannot place this file - ??? 28962-ALDCL6RC.RSL" error message

    Using PM 6.5 in Classic mode on Mac (OS 10.4.11). I have an existing pagemaker document that contains an EPS file that I need to change. When I try to update link to new EPS file or place it, I get the "cannot place this file" message. I am creating EPS in Illustrator 6.0 (also in Classic mode.) I have tried to place EPS file in a new Pagemaker document and get the same message. This used to work. I would really appreciate any help.

    I seem to recall that PageMaker wasn't a good friend of EPS files, but I could be wrong after so many years not using it. I would try with TIFFs, just in case.

  • "Cannot place this..QT .mov

    When I try to place a .mov (Apple QT) in In Design, I get the error:
    "Cannot place this file. No filter found for requested operation"
    I am using In Design version 3.01.838 (newest available update)
    The Apple QT player is version 7.
    The QT clip was made using Camtasia 4.02, the codecs were "MPEG-4" video and "Aplle Lossless" set to 44100-stereo
    I am able to place .avi videos, and other graphics, but not QT videos. All the videos are short clips.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance,

    I have vague memories of seeing this discussed in the past, probably on the Mac side, and I think the issue was which version of QuickTime was Installed, but I wouldn't swear to it, or even that a solution was offered. Searching the ID forums on both sides for QuickTime might pull something up.

  • "Cannot send this file" for conversion/download for Word editing

    Cannot send this file is response for conversion/download for Word editing

    As you speak to "sending" a file you'd be using  one of Adobe's online subscription services.
    The "umbrella" user forum for this is at:

    Of course a paid subscription is required.
    Note that accessing the online service of interest through Adobe Reader can be bumpy sometimes.
    Best is to just go to online and have your browser take you to the service.

  • Cannot open on Nook, "This Nook cannot read this file. It may be an unsupported format"  what can I do?

    I used ADE 4.0 and ebook transferred to computer and Nook - it opens on my computer but will not open in Nook.  Error message says "This Nook cannot read this file.  It may be an unsupported format."  What can I do to open it on my Nook?

    First, I would recommend repairing the hard drive with Disk Utility.
    If that doesn't fix the problem, there's a very dangerous command you can execute in the Terminal.  This is very hazardous, because a simple typo can result in very drastic consequences.  I have seen people erase their entire hard drive by putting a space in the wrong place!  So, please follow the directions I'm going to give you very carefully!
    Open the Terminal, which is found in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder.  In the Terminal, enter the following:
    sudo rm -f
    Make sure to put a space after the "-f"!  Then, drag the troublesome file from the Finder and drop it on the Terminal window.  That should insert the path to the file in the command.  Then go back to the Terminal and press return.  You will be asked for your password, and when you type it, nothing will be shown as a security measure.  Press return again after entering your password.  The file should be deleted.

  • Simple question:  I want to use iCloud as a back up disk for my documents folder.  How can I do this?  If I cannot do this, why am I paying for access to "the cloud?"

    Simple question:  I want to use iCloud as a back up disk for my documents folder.  How can I do this?  If I cannot do this, why am I paying for access to "the cloud?"

    iCloud does not provide general file storage or backup, so you cannot back up your Documents folder using it. You will need to find a third-party alternative - this page examines some options (some are free):

    iCloud at basic level, with 5GB is storage, is free: you only pay anything if you want to increase the storage space.

  • 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.

  • HT2731 When I try to open Itunes, I get message cannot open this file because it was created by a newer version

    Which system are you running (is this information correct in your profile)?
    Are there complicating issues to this question such as you transferring libraries between computers?
    Have you upgraded iTunes recently?

  • : I have recently purchased a iBook G4 Mac OS X VERSION 10.5.6 and I  cannot install any apps such as firefox, adobe reader, it reads you cannot install this file on this disk

    : I have recently purchased a iBook G4 Mac OS X VERSION 10.5.6 and I  cannot install any apps such as firefox, adobe reader, it reads you cannot install this file on this disk

    Are you saying the iBook G4 you have is running OS X 10.5.6?
    The next file to get for it would be the Combo update 10.5.8 for Leopard.
    And any old archived Flash player for 10.5.8 from Adobe flash site.
    A browser such as TenFourFox, iCab, SeaMonkey-PPC, these are OK
    but you won't be able to go past Leopard 10.5(.8) in a PowerPC Mac.
    All these are free bits, however anything past 10.5.8 Mac OS X
    would require a newer Mac with Intel-based architecture. Macs
    made in 2006+ can see later OS X versions.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Pain't cannot read this file.  This is not a valid bitmap file or it's format is not currently suppo

    Have some photos of a warehouse fire in Plymouth Indiana.  Files were saved as .jpg  Can't get them to open.
    One message is "
    Pain't cannot read this file.  This is not a valid bitmap file or it's format is not currently supported." 
    Couldn’t display DSC-0023.jpg because a suitable graphics importer could not be found.

    Help Please

    As has been suggested above, I would explore Opening the files in another program first, and if successful, just doing a Save_As from that program.
    I do not know how sensitive Paint might be, but Ps really wants the JPEG header info to be well-formed. I often encounter JPEG errors in Ps, and my first stop is to IrfanView (free), or ThumbsPlus (commercial), as both seem much more lenient with JPEG's. I have only had a few files, that nothing on my computer would open. I assume that they were just too corrupt.
    With either my IrfanView, or ThumbsPlus, when Opened, I do a Save_As, and choose a low compression/high-quality JPEG. If you other program supports Save_As PSD, that would be my # 1 choice, and keep JPEG out of the mix from that point on.
    Good luck,

  • TS1702 trying to download mp3 get: Safari cannot download this file

    I am trying to download MP3  even tried AAC I receive error Safari cannot download this file..  I am clueless in how to do this thank you Linda

    You can't download music via Safari. If you are trying to get music into the Music app then you will either need to buy/download them via the iTunes store app, or download them on your computer and sync them. If you are using a third-party music app then does it have its own browser function for downloading music, or does it only support copying via a computer's iTunes ?
