Cannot recover 'unknown document'. Please try to open it using the File menu.

When I try to open an in InCopy document I get this error message:
At this point I am not able to perform any action because InCopy is stuck.
Then if I click “OK” I get the following one talking about InDesign which I do not even have installed:
Then if I click “OK” InCopy crashes…
I have tried to save the InCopy document before opening as a text editor and paste it in a new InCopy file but I just get a bounch of coding. I cannot convert into anything that makes sense...it just spits out thousands of pages with jibberish.
I have tried to make a copy of the document before opening and open the copy, but the problem persists. Does anybody have experienced the same issue?
Thanks,

  • Cannot recover 'file' please try opening it using the file menu

    Hello,
    we have had some issues with document corruption in inDesign, a user this morning received the following error:
    Cannot recover 'filename.indd'. Please try to open it unsing the file menu.
    The file 'filename.indd' has been changed since adobe inDesign last quit (Error code: 11)
    When the user uses the file menu to open it it works fine
    I have googled this message but not found any information on it.
    Does anyone know what this means or how to resolve it? Does it give any clues as to why the users are having problems with documents getting corrupted.
    Thanks,
    Tom

  • I keep getting the message, "Windows cannot find 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." I get it when I either try to open it from the Start menu or from the desktop icon.

    I've just installed Firefox on my laptop and keep getting the message, "Windows cannot find 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." I get this message whenever I either try to open it from the Start menu or from the desktop icon. I've never gotten it to work and even uninstalled it and then redownloaded it and still cannot get it to open. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

    Are you installing from the official site? http://www.mozilla.com/firefox
    If you use Windows Explorer (My Computer) to check that path, is the Mozilla Firefox folder there? That is the normal installation location, but I think it's worth checking.
    If the folder isn't there or firefox.exe is not in it, I wonder whether some other software might be interfering. You might want to run some supplemental security scans. These two tools are highly regarded:

    Thank you for clarify I'm supposed to read the ENTIRE article. I thought I was just supposed to read the title and magically everything will fix itself. I appreciate you taking the time to help me however I do not appreciate the caps and the way you have addressed the situation. If you are not going to kindly help people/make suggestions just don't try! And for the record my conclusions are not illogical, the iOS7 thing is on the website in small font (which I got by reading the ENTIRE thing) and you should really find a new hobby because your socialization skills need some help!

  • I  am getting the error code, "error opening document, please try agailater" when clicking on the application link from a website. The form was working properly but stopped. What happened?.

    Is this a FormsCentral form?

  • Crashing if I open a document, but not if I use the 'File' menu?

    I've got InDesign CS5 on Windows 7. If I open InDesign and use File > Open, I can launch my projects without trouble. If I go to the file in Windows Explorer and double-click it, InDesign launches, but hangs without opening the document and I have to force-quit from the Task Manager. Any suggestions? It's not a major issue, but it's a hassle not to be able to simply select a recent document and open it from the start menu.

    Re-associate InDesign with the file type
    Right Click > Open With > InDesign should be listed but the belt and suspenders approach might merit actually browsing to the InDesign .exe file

  • How do I set the Home Page for a newly open tab using the File Tab Menu??

    When I open a new tab, is there a way to set the home page the new tab will use when it is opened, or will new tabs always be opened as blank pages?

    I have new windows opening when I click on a link. Or when I click on the FF-Icon. New windows are the default setting.
    When a new window opens, I get a Google home page and can instantly type in a search phrase.
    With the above in mind, sometimes I want to keep search classes in the same window. In a sense I'm using the Window with no tabs, to generate a tab by using the File Tab option.
    When a Tab is selected where new windows will launch a new page, and not a new tab, the process of forcing a new tab onto the window will produce a tab page that is Blank, and the new tab label description displayed in the tab area shows the words "New Tab". That tab's URL address bar is blank. Zip - nothing displayed.
    When a blank page tab appears, I click on the HOME button you helped me remodel, and the "New Tab" description in the tab label area changes from "New Tab" to "Google".
    My question was to ask, if there was a way I could do something to make FF4 do that Home page assignment on its own. In the early FF days I found you could sometimes go into the bowels of FF, find some form of INI or SETTINGS type file, look for a Keyword reference that would tell FF to do something different, and Viola, emotional issue resolved. In this case, I'm trying to "Gild the Lilly" by asking if you, or someone else might have a rabbit they can pull out of their hat, just like you did when you helped me move my Home button, and have that rabbit show me how to do something that default FF-Options section doesn't support.
    Did I do a better job of explaining the issue this time?
    Thanks again for the response.

  • Firefox hangs if I try to open Options in the Tools menu

    When I select Options from the Tools menu this hangs Firefox and any tabs that may be open. I have to End the non responding program through Task Manager.
    This happens any/everytime I try to access Options.
    This only happens on my laptop, not my PC. It works fine on my PC. I am on Firefox 6.0.2

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • I can't open tabs from the file menu or + sign. I have often used this feature. It just stopped today. Why?

    Up until today, I could use my *new tab* feature. Suddenly, tonight it won't open a new tab.
    What could have happened?

    I don't use the Ask Toolbar, but earlier today (or yesterday) it was *on* and de-selected it. What else do I have to do to *disable* it?
    Also, when I go to safe mode in Firefox, the new tab feature works.

  • Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can; and when I click on this link...like so many others... Firefox responds: "Sorry, we couldn't find the page you were looking for. Please, try searching our site using the form below."

  • When i open a powerpoint, the file is not presented  right

    When i try to open a powerpoint, the file is opened, but not presented correctly. The background colors and pictures seem missing ( only grey color). The texts are there but in wrong fonts. In the center a small blue box with question mark appears. Strangely enough, if i forward the file to a colleque, he can open it without any problems (he uses ipad 2 and i ipad)
    Any ideas?

    What app are you using to open a PowerPoint file? Is the friend using the same app?

    Hi,

    Thanks...

    Hi Awadhendra,
    This error usually occurs if IE is configured with the "Do not save encrypted pages to disk" advanced options setting or the server is using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and has added one or both of the following HTTP headers to the response message:
    e.g: Response.AddHeader "Cache-control: no-cache" or “Cache-control: no-store”.
    To solve this issue, please try to cancel the “Do not save encrypted pages to disk” option in the advanced internet options or setting the “BypassSSLNoCache” registry. For more details, please refer to

  • The way SharePoint open office documents will differ if the user try to open them from the document library directly, or if users try to open the document from the search result page.

    I have a document library where I have uploaded an excel sheet to it. Now If I click on the excel sheet directly from the document library page , I will get the following error ““The webpage cannot be displayed””. While if I do a search and I open the excel
    sheet from the search result page , it will open the excel sheet using the excel services inside the browser !!.
    So can anyone advice on this ?
    Also if I have a PowerPoint document , and I try to open it from the document library I will get the following error “The webpage cannot be displayed” , and the URL will be prefix with the following “ms-powerpoint:ofv|u|”. while if i do a search and i open
    the PowerPoint from the search result page i will be prompted to either open or save the document ? So why SharePoint is reacting totally different when trying to open document library items from the document library Or from the search result page?

    Hi,
    The behavior in the document library could be probably because of the Documents handling setting. Please try setting it to default behavior (Open in browser) as i hear from you that the default behavior is to open from browser.
    Thanks, Suneetha
    Currently I have set the following;-
    1. On the library advance setting :- I define  “Open in the client application”
    2. On the web application setting:- I define stricked for Browser File Handling
    And I have noted if I delete the browser cache and I access the document , then I will be prompted with the download dialog. but if I re-click on the same document I will be redirected to the
    The webpage cannot be displayed
    And the ms-powerpoint:ofv|u| will be added to the beginning of the URL. So could this be a caching problem ?
