Client can't open my BMP files

Howdy,
I've been using my current system to create software interface graphics (buttons, icons, etc. ) but recently my clients who are all on Windows are not able to open my BMP files. They can open PSD and PNG and JPG files, to problem. I need the BMPs because of the alpha channel.
Now, don't laugh, this "old, basic" system has served me well for many years and I'm in no mood or financial situation to upgrade, so I'm hoping that the problem is not related to the age of the system. I'm running:
CS1 (Photoshop 8.0, MIcrosoft Bitmap File Format 8.0) on a G5 iMac with system 10.4.11
Thanks for any suggestions you might have.

I imagine that that error code 14 was accompanied by some verbiage. It is often the case that said verbiage actually points you in the right direction as to what the problem is. The error code alone is only going to be meaningful to people who have run into it. I don't think there's a place to go where the error codes are explained -- although there might be.
Ask your client what the complete message was.
Also, have her hold down Command and choose About InDesign from the InDesign menu. She should see something like:
Adobe InDesign Version CS3(5.0.3.662)
immediately under Application Info. Compare what she has with what yours says.

How can I launch a site that I designed for a client using their MobileMe account? Can they 'open' my iWeb files on their iWeb software?

How can I launch a site that I designed for a client using their MobileMe account? Can they 'open' my iWeb files on their iWeb software?

If you give them the Domain.sites2 file that iWeb used to create the site they will be able to open it with iWeb application (it has to be the same version as you have) and make changes. But if you're expected to also make changes you'll need a way to send that file back and forth between the two.
Also there's an online MacWorld article that describes a way that both of you could manage the site using Dropbox. Look at Managing an iWeb site from multiple Macs.

"foxit" took a notion to auto update - Adobe will no longer open scanned .bmp files

So, Foxit had apparently been installed on a users PC for some time. It decided to update itself over night? Anyway, the woman came in the next morning and Adobe Reader was no longer installed, assuming foxit had uninstalled it *so thankful*. Foxit would open the .bmp files and allow view as a pdf. Of course Adobe is what she was used to and needed.
So,
Re-installed Adobe reader XI
Scanned files would open normally from .bmp and give an option to "save as pdf" - (I'm not sure what she was able to open the files in (im assuming adobe))
After the Adobe re-install this will not work any more. I've taken the scanned .bmp file straight from the scanner and set it to .pdf and get error message " either not a supported file type or the file has been damaged. could have been sent as email and has been decoded incorrectly"
Could this have anything to do with fox it changing something?
*I've set .bmp file association to default to reader*

I can't tell exactly what you have going there but Adobe Reader does not and never has opened .bmp files. So whatever you were using to open the bmp and save to pdf is what is having the problem here. That wouldn't be Adobe Reader but something else.

You can't just take a .bmp file and change the extension to .pdf. That is why Reader is giving you that error.
Assuming I understand what you are asking here...
Also, I would strongly suggest that the user disallow updates like that happening when she doesn't give permission first. Set an administrator password that has to be entered before the update. Not doing that is a recipe for disaster.

Can't open Outlook msg files

Hi,
We are using Windows Phone with Nokia Lumia and we can't open outlook msg files.
From Desktop, we save Outlook messages into msg format in SharePoint libraries, but When I try to open this message using Internet Explorer with Nokia Lumina, it can't do it. Windows Phone can't open msg files.
It is this possible? Can't install Outlook client into Windows Phone? Exists any msg reader?
Thanks

Hello,
I am not really sure what that means?
Did you set it up manually on the sequencer, or did you create it manually on after monitoring?
Is whats captured the same thing as whats setup when its working?
Have you compared how it works on a manually setup client vs whats actually configured within your package?

How can I open the windows file directory in "WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED" trigger

Dear All,
How can I open the windows file directory in “WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED” trigger?

Blessan Joseph,
The solution is dependent on your Forms version and if your applications is traditional Client/Server (CS) (Forms 6i and lower) or web deployed (Forms 6i and higher). For CS, you would use the Get_File_Name() built-in as Faa demonstrated. For Web, you will need to use the WebUtil library function Client_Get_File_Name() as Sarah (OGIR) demonstrated. Both of these functions will return the full path to a file. Note: WebUtil is an external library so it requires you to perform some configuration on your developer client as well as on the Application Server. WebUtil is included with Forms 9i and higher, but you must download it for Forms 6i.
My requirement is user should able to select windows directory for the output.Do you really need to allow the user to write to a file in the Windows directory? This is very dangerous and you should not allow users or programs to write to the Windows directory. Users should only be able to write files to "User" directories (\My Documents\<Directory name>).

Feh showing black images when opening certain .bmp files

Hi all,
I've been using feh (I'm using imagemagick too) from quite a bit and today I noticed it shows plain black images when opening certain .bmp files, those files are obtained from a Java WebService and they may not be correcty formed, still firefox can correctly visualize them. Would it be possible to make feh correctly display them ?

I've set Photoshop to ask me if there's a conflict with embedded color schemes but it doesn't ask when opening this file. So I presume it doesn't use any specific profile. (Can I check this directly somehow?)
EDIT: I've now set to ask if there is no profile embedded and Photoshop now says that the image has no embedded RGB profile.
My color profile within Photoshop is set to sRGB which is the default for my display.
When I try switching to other RGB profiles in the list, the colors change but the distortions are still there no matter which profile I choose.

How can I open a cc2014 file in my cs6 version of Indesign ?

How can I open a cc2014 file in my cs6 version of Indesign ?
I have several files that has been saved in a cc2014 version and I can't open them in my CS6 version of Indesign.
I don t have access to anyone who have the cc 2014 version to convert the file.
How can I do it from my cs6 version?
THANKS!

You can't do it from CS6.
You have to export to IDML from InDesign CC2014 (or whatever the version it was created in) and then open the IDML in the earlier versoin of InDesign.
All explained in the FAQ on the main forum page.

I can't open a pdf file since updating to firefox 4.0. I have foxit reader installed and it worked before. Adobe is not compatible with Firefox. What do I need to do. I need to file my income tax online and can't because of this issue

Just can't open any pdf files. Having no luck trying to fix myself.

For Firefox users, there might be a built in pdf viewer, or a preferred viewer that handles pdf files.
I am not having any trouble logging in, so lets try this:
* Remove any cookies from the cache: [[Delete cookies to remove the information websites have stored on your computer]]
*[[Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings]] if there is stored user data that is removed in this process: [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]

Why i can't open my raw file in adobe photoshop cs6... and i use camera Canon 650D

why i can't open my raw file?

You probably need to update your Camera Raw plug-in for CS6 to something new enough to understand the 650D raw files.
The usual way you’d do this would be Help / Updates in PS.

I can only open 1 .Ai file at a time from explorer

Okay. Googling is getting me nowhere and posting this is a last resort.
computer is running:
Windows 7 x64 SP1
Creative Suite 5.5
Illustrator 5.1
The problem is:
From within Windows Explorer, I can only open 1 Illustrator file at a time. To get a different file to open, I either have to drag and drop the second file into the tabs under the menubar, or I need to quit Illustrator and re-open it. Also, I can not open additional files from Explorer one-at-a-time if one is already open.
Quirks:
If I go to File -> Open I can select multiple files from within the Open File dialogue window and they open just fine. but i can't do it from within windows explorer. This used to work and now it doesn't and I have no idea why. Can anyone help me out?
Seriously? 137 views and no replies? No one has run into this before?

This is a long shot but try going to Preferences/Type and uncheck "Show Font Names in English".
Quit illustrator and restart, does it work now?
The reason I´m suggesting this is that unless I have this box unchecked, some internal function in illustrator crashes after I´ve opened one document and I have to quit & restart if I wan´t to open another one. A rather silly bug and I stumpled upon the solution by accident after cursing illustrator for a couple of months...

I have a new IMAC with a Maverick platform (I can update to Yosemite). I did all graphics on a G5 Power PC (very old), in Freehand (very old)... How can I open old Freehand files on this new Mac? Can I still open and work in Freehand on this new Mac?

Let me see if I've gotten this right! You want to remove an account from BOTH machines? Do this for your new machine first, then for the other.
Click the Apple logo on the top left of the screen, System Preferences, Users and Groups (under Systems), unlock the lock in the window if its locked (you need to know the password), select the user that you wish to remove, and click the - sign next to the + sign for Login options. A window will pop up with some options. Select Delete this user and securely, and click 'Delete user'.
After this, do an update from the App Store.
Thats all there is to it.
For the other machine repeat the process except for one thing. Before you delete the user in this case YOU, you will have to give Administrator priviledges to your son bu checking the box 'Allow user to administer this computer'.
Do NOT do anything from Finder ... if you dont know how to fix the consequences of the problems caused.
There is no need to unauthorize your iTunes account on your new machine. Do it on the old machine though.

Hi There,
After looking around for this error, it seems to be related to OS, we would recommend you to contact Apple support for this.
