Cant Open illustrator Files Memmory Error

Firstly I have researched this online and foudn many postings dating back 3 years with no resoultion or even a work around. I dont normally like to post on these forums but there isnt anything else to try.
Firstly computer specs
I7 CPU
16 GB DDR3 RAM
250 SSD drive
1tb sata drive
Currently Virtual Memmory is set to be able to use 16 gb of addition ram from the hard drive.
So I had Adobe Design Premium trail 5.5 installed, I then removed then ran teh adobe clean up tool, ran CC cleaner to clear the registry and re installed CS5.5 full version with lisence. The issue happens on both version of the install.
This is also a new computer and only 2 weeks old, no font manager, no extra fonts.
When ever various files are opened ranging from 10 mb - 40 mb in illustrator, it instanly comes up with an out of memmory error. However I have watched this happen and monitored the memmory use whilst it is happening and the memmory in use was only 2.2 GB total on the machine. THe hard drive activity is minimal as well.....
I have tried this on the above computer, then tried it on teh same spec computer running Design Standard, then on a laptop with less memory ( 4gb) running master collection and also a virtual machine i set up that had 8 gb ram running Design Premium all 5.5.
I had the same error on all 4 machines when opening a 20 mb file, i have also tried several other files ( 6) and none of them work, however they did used to work on CS5.
There are apparantly no work arounds or fixes for this and its extremely irritating as you know what marketing and design people can be like ! Why has adobe not released a fix for this after 3 years and does any one know of a work around or fix to do this. Comlexity is not an issue in the fix.
cheers

Hi,
Well up untill we upgraded to CS5.5 these files were working, im aware that its only a 32 bit application and i thought that it only used up to 2.5 gb of memmory, the file is pretty much a basic illustrator file with a link to some images in it, any more detail and im not sure as im not a designer.
I will say however, the file used to work, since the adobe upgrade it doesnt work on multiple computers with multiple version of CS5.5. Whilst i appreciate that illustrator is only 32 bit, that shouldnt make a difference considering the file used to work in previous version of adobe.
Also when i look at the memmory use whilst trying to open the file, its only using about 2.2gb of the total ram, which isnt even all the RAM avaliable for a 32 bit app. The RAM has been tested and is working fine, when using photoshop it can use plenty of RAM with no issue.
If you read all the forum posts over the last 3 years, you can see that this is clearly a bug from teh adobe product and not one thread has been resolved, or even given a work around. I have tried resetting preferences, changing settings to lower settings when open file, cleared registry, cleared cache font etc.
Im fairly sure this is a bug so if you can provide some kind of work around for now and an ETA on a fix it would be great
im also happy to email you the file and see if you can open it if you ahve time
kind regards

Error message "Cant open illustration" in Illustrator CC 2014 on Win 7 PC

Need urgent help to recover or open file, please.

George,
One thing often tried first is to create a new document and File>Place the corrupted one to see how much may be rescued that way (remember to tick Paste remembers Layers in the Layer palette flyout/dropdown first, and to untick it afterwards).
Here are some websites where you can see whether it can rescue the file, and if it can, you may pay for a subscription to have it done,

Error while opening illustrator file : The illustration contains an illegal operand.

Few of the production machine at our office is showing error while opening some of the illustrator project files which were working fine a day before.
If the Executive continues to open the document after this error all the work is lost and it becomes blank document.
Has some one been through this issue and suggest any solution.

Eneas,
This is a case of file corruption.
One thing often tried first is to create a new document and File>Place the (PDF contents, if any, of the) corrupted one to see how much may be rescued that way.

External media: It is always recommended here to open/save from/to own hard disk, and to copy from/to networks and removable media. You may be lucky (for a while), but the chances of file corruption and other unpleasantnesses are immensely greater when you use anything but the harddisk, and it is better to be safe than sorry.
In addition to the (far greater) risk of file corruption, some issues are mentioned here:

Adobe Illustrator cant open .ase file

Hi there. anyone help please!!! i have downloaded a theme fron Kuler and Adobe says it cant open .ase files? anyone know why? or is there something else i need to do? thanks

Kuler panel is available in Illustrator so you don't have to download an ASE file to use the colors in Illustrator. Simply Favorite a theme in Kuler and it would be available in Illustrator.
If you do want to work with ASE files, you'll have to Open the ASE file from the Swatch Library Menu from within the Swatches Panel

Cant open itunes. Get error message CMBlockBufferCopyDataBytes could not be located in the dynamic link library CoreMedia.dll. Anyone know how to fix that?

Cant open itunes. Get error message CMBlockBufferCopyDataBytes could not be located in the dynamic link library CoreMedia.dll. Anyone know how to fix that?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The error hints at a similar pattern to those discussed in the first and third boxes of the user tip, suggesting that you've got an outdated .dll file that needs replacing. You should find CoreMedia.dll in the one of the following folders:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
Delete it and then repair Apple Mobile Device Support from the Programs and Features control panel. If that doesn't work go for the full tear down and rebuild.

Still cant open embedded files with Adobe Reader 10.0.1

Hi!
In the first version of Adobe Reader X you had to disable the Protection Mode in order to open PDF-files on a network drive or that are embedded in a i.e Word document.
I have now upgraded my version to 10.0.1.
The first issue seems to be solved (open files on a network drive). But I still cant open PDF files embedded in another file??
I get the error message: The Program used to create this object is AcroExch. That program is either not installed on your computer or it is not responding. To edit this object, install AcroExch or ensure that any dialog boxes in AcroExch are closed.
And if I try to embedd a PDF-file myself into a document I get the same result.
As soon as I turn of the Protection Mode it works...
Is there a way to keep the PM on and still be able to open documents???
Regards Daniel

I'm not sure why Adobe hasn't looked into this. One description elsewhere in the forum seems to suggest that if the computer has had older versions of the reader installed, it will work -- somehow the embedded file needs an older registry key. I have yet to try installing older versions of reader onto my machine. This machine has only had reader 10 installed on it.
I tried the recommendation that is given in another thread. Turn off running reader in protected mode. The first time I did it, it didn't work. The second time I unchecked the "use in protected mode" box, I closed and then reopened reader. Now I can open embedded pdfs in word.

Cant open .xib file in xcode solve...

Apropos Rick's messages, the IB error you reported is most often caused by an installation or version problem. This often happens when a new SDK is installed over an older SDK, and is often fixed by removing as much of the previous SDK as possible before re-installing the new one. If you search on the text of your error message in this forum and/or Google, you'll find lots of advice on how to clean your system before installing a new SDK.
Here's another link you should look at: [http://lists.apple.com/archives/Xcode-users/2009/Jan/msg00084.html].
I'm also wondering what book you have. You said your book was titled "Beginning ipod development". I can't find that title on the net, so you probably didn't type the exact title. However if that is indeed to title of your book, it might be too old. So if the book came with a CD, you could have some xib files that are too old for your SDK.
If the above doesn't apply to you, then take Rick's suggestion and get the latest SDK from the iPhone Dev Center. Then you'll need to clean your system to get rid of the previous SDK. Do this even if the previous SDK is the same one you just downloaded, because that's the best way to fix a bad installation. You should also consult the other posts on this subject that discuss permission problems. For example I think you could get IB to fail by installing as one user and then opening IB as another user.
In any case, if you re-install, there's one step you must never omit: Rename your /Developer folder (e.g. to /OldDev).
Hope that helps!

This used to work in CS5.
Control click the focused image (at front). Near the bottom of the contextual menu select 'Open' and nothing happens.
Anyone else having this problem?

Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened. The Ask toolbar can be installed as part of Foxit.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

Apple keeps books for a short time (used to be 40 days. I've not seen a recent time frame)
What version did you have?
Books do nor exist except in the iPhoto database so you can not "find" a book vista TM. You restore a previous library (be sure NOT to overwrite your current library) and switch to it

Sony NEW RX10 & iPhoto Cant open RAW files

Hey Guys, I know that not ALL RAW files are equal! I just picked up a NEW SONY RX10 and its shooting RAW files in Sony's ARW format.. I see that the NEW a7's are updated in OSX updates, Im assuming that the a7's and the New RX10 are the same ARW format, but I cant open these files in Preview and Iphoto wont see them either! Im using OSX 10.8.5 (ML) and Iphoto 11 (9.4.3) (720.91) Is anyone else having this issue with a RX10 or newer Sony camera with ARW files... Please reply! I really would like to shoot in RAW and use iPhoto to edit! I guess not ALL SONY .ARW are equal????

Im assuming that the a7's and the New RX10 are the same ARW format,
There you go - that is an incorrect assumption (as most assumptions are - as you know when you assume you make an ***ume out of ***ume & assume) - every RAW format for every camera is different and requires specific support for tha tcamera - notice in the support list that many different cameras in the same family are listed seperatly
Usually Apple releases Sony RAW support pretty quickly since Sony is a major manfactuer of consumer and professional cameras
Tell Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback
The Sony software that came with the camera may help (although my experiance is that Sony has poor to non-existance support for Macs) and possible the Adobe RAW converter can help until Apple releases the required update
And it is very possible that the update will only apply to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5.x so it is possible that you will have to upgrade your OS and iPhoto (both free) - when you do be sure to backup first
The current Mavericks list is at http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5955

Cs4 opens cs3 files with errors

Here's a big heads up for anyone considering upgrading to cs4 - don't! I've been working on a cs3 project and decided to upgrade to cs4 for the extras in the 3D toolset. All the Adobe propoganda implies this can be achieved no problem, as did soemone on telephone tech support. Perhaps I didn't clearly ask 'can I open my cs3 file in cs4'. I can BUT the clips are very much 'out of synch. I'll lick my wounds and go back to finishing in cs3 but don't purchase cs4 if you think you can seamless import your sc3 project. Because it seems you very much can not!

Dennis,
Many thanks.

Subject: Premiere Pro cs4 opens cs3 files with errors
Jarrod,
As I've stated here in this forum, we're trying to transition Adobe technical support to a new organization and providing the best support we can to our customers. That being said, it is a long and sometimes painful process, which is why I am here on the forums at times to lend some support. This doesn't help you and you might not even care so...
Here's a couple of suggestions:
1. make sure your software is updated (Premiere Pro 4.2.1) by going to help>updates
2. clear your prefs - http://blogs.adobe.com/genesisproject/2009/11/having_weird_behavior_with_an.html
3. try importing (ctrl-I) a CS3 project into CS4
Try these things and let me know how you make out. Also, it would be very helpful if you told us about your system and the specs. I've posted about the importance of 64-bit and lots of memory many times. You can find one link here: http://blogs.adobe.com/genesisproject/2009/03/64_bit_os_and_adobe_products.html
The future of Premiere Pro is 64-bit only: http://blogs.adobe.com/genesisproject/2009/10/its_official_64bit_is_the_futu.html
Beyond that if you'd like me to look into your case, please post your case # here or in a private message to me and I'll gladly look at it.
I sense your frustration and its understandable - give us a chance to help you.
Dennis
