"Could not open because it is either not supported....

I'm trying to open a PDF from a site I frequent. When I attempt to download and open the file I get: "Could not open because it is either not supported file type or because it was damaged.
I asked a customer service rep at the site if she was able to open the file I was attempting to open and she was able to do so.
I can open other PDF's on my desktop. WIndows XP
Any ideas?

Hi,
Can you please share the exact error message that you are receiving.
As "~graffiti" also mentioned, it would be useful if you could let us know which version of Adobe Reader you are using and any PDF link which may not be working for you.

XCode - Could not support development

Hi all,
I have two iphones, one is running 3.0 OS, another one is running 3.0.1 OS. I followed the advisory note at: http://adcdownload.apple.com/iphone/iphonesdk_3.0__final/iphone_os_3.0.1advisory.pdf and created a symbolic link under the /Developer directory like this:
adminde-macbook:DeviceSupport admin$ pwd

but I still get the message "Could not support development" in my X-Code organizer page. Can anyone tell me what I should do to continue my development on OS 3.0.1?
I can compile and execute any code perfectly on the iPhone running OS 3.0 and I am sure that my provision profile is not expired.
Thank you very much for your help.
Best regards,
wonghang.

thank you very much for your reply.
I have already run this command in the terminal and hence I run a "ls -al" to demonstrate that a symbolic link was created. In fact, I have been successfully to compile code on OS 3.0.1 about 1 week ago by using this method. But I suddenly cannot compile any code on 3.0.1 today...I don't know why such thing happen.

Iv'e just bought a MacBook Pro and iPhoto says that it can't be opened because it is either damaged or incomplete.

My new MacBokk Pro has iPhoto which does not work because it is either damaged or incomplete.
I've tried to download the latest update 9.3.2. for it but it then says that I need 9.0. before the upgrade works. I've done that but it now says I need an earlier version to make 9.0. work.
How far back do I have to go and where do I get it from?
I've tried to to migrate the old version of Iphoto '08 7.1.5. across from my old MacBook but I'm told that it is no longer supported.
I'm now stuck with an old machine with a fractured screen and a bent body and a new machine that won't (as yet) take new installations.
Anyone out there able to help?

Go to the App Store and sign in with your Apple ID
Click on the Purchases List
Accept the apps offered
You can then re-install from there.

Could not support request for background processing

Hello,
We have a .NET 1.x application with CrystalReportViewer control.
The application is running on a windows terminal server with approximatively 5 users using the applications and 10-20 logged on doing other stuff.
When the user tries to preview the report using the CrystalReportViewer object , the following exception is "sometimes" thrown
[translated from dutch]
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.InternalException:
error in file C:\Users\*username*\AppData\Local\Temp\35\{B8D10435-A104-4422-A220-6DB483DFC285}.rpt:
The request could not be submitted for background processing. ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800002AD)
The application then terminates and if the user restarts the application attempts to reload the report, it usually loads with no problem .
It can not be intentionality reproduced but it does happen frequently.
I have been Googling for this problem , but havn't found any solution.
On this website however a link is provided to a BO KB article with a possible solution:
http://aspadvice.com/blogs/rjdudley/archive/2005/10/26/13443.aspx
However, the article appears to require a login, my SAP CR account i used to register on these forums does not to work.
What can we do to determine the exact cause of this problem, or are there any known solution for this problem ??
If you need any more information please do ask.
also,
We have a licence for CR 11 and so does our client, what steps would we need to undertake to get professional /payed support from SAP crystal reports for techinal issues like this, is there a way to open a support ticket ?
Thank you very much for your time, any help is appreciated !

Hello:
First I have to apologize for the troubles with CR 11.5 - not sure why that would be, but your frustration is understood. Perhaps sometime in the future we can look at this in another thread (e.g.; it should just work...).
Anyhow, there is really no compeling reason for you to go to CR 11.5 (there are reasons (see below), but 11.0 is fine with framework 1.1).
So to start off. Version 11.0.0.895 will need to be updated to SP4. See this|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/CrystalReports2008%28and9.1%2CXIR1%2CXIR2%29-VersionandDownloadinformationforServicePacks] wiki. As you can see in the wiki, the latest version of CR 11.0 is updated to SP 4 with a version of 11.0.9500.x. Before we even start to look at this, you will have to get to SP4.
Re. preference for CR 11.5. If the issue is not resolved with CR 11 Service Packed to SP 4, all we have left is; going to CR 11.5 - with the latest SP (SP6) as that is the version I would be testing with. Note that CR 11 is completely out of support now, CR 11.5 is out of patch support (e.g.; no fixes) and any support terminates in June of this year.
And we have not even started to work the issue. Re-reading your initial post, I am starting to suspect that loading may be the root of the issue here. I'd recommend having a peek at the following:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d08468e2-a81d-2b10-faa9-9837f58ee1c2
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/7025839b-00d4-2b10-33b4-cf0aa9e08412
The following article specifies CR 2008, but most if not all the points will apply to CR 11.0 also:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/7025839b-00d4-2b10-33b4-cf0aa9e08412
The below will also be good to be aware of:

The following articles were written by me and may also apply:

I realize I've thrown a lot of info in here, but all of it may apply. In a way I feel like we've ended up across the river without crossing the bridge first, but let's see what comes out of all of this (teleporting worked for Captain Kirk ).

When I save documents from online I get the message could not open because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damage. I am using Mac book pro can anyone help me.

I would save as PDF and when I go to open it is blank and I get the message above.

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
          Allow Plug-ins
Then click
          Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

Error message Acrobat could not open because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged

Can anyone help with this? I cannot open PDF files sent via e-mail?

Thank you.
I did this and they said that they send thousands of these e-mails and attachments out and we are the only people who are having trouble. I tried several other computers to see if the PDF opened OK on them but had no success. I still get the same error message

Hello I get a message on adobe reader XI could not open because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged. Any ideas of what I can do?

Document cannot be opened because it is either not a supported file type or the file has been damaged

Hi All,
I would appreciate if you can help me with this problem. I used to be able to access all my pdf files, but now I can't and this is the error message I get on them.
I tried the registry editor to create a bValidateBytesBeforeHeader solution, but either it is not the solution to my problem, or I'm not doing it right.
I would really like some help from you guys so that I can get my files to work.
Thanks

girisht97034793, just a little extra note. There are several possible causes of "file corrupted". These include
* The rules for PDF being tightened up. This is what the bValidateBytesBeforeHeader solution is about. This is NOT the problem here.
* File was a PDF, but got damaged, for example by a faulty disk. Could be this, probably not.
* File never was a PDF. Often, we can see what the file really is. But I can't see that this file is any other kind of valid file.
* File was damaged by a virus or "ransomware". Perhaps this is the problem here.
* File was encrypted. But usually you'd know about this going on.
Anyway, this is just confirming what ~graffiti says, but I'd done the research before replying but I thought I'd share. He has excellent questions.

[ OS X Mavericks-Paused ]on installation [ because iTunes could not support it? ] I reinstalled iTunes. Now how do I reinstall OS X ?

Hello Community
Mavericks paused on installation. I chatted with support girl and she checked it out then said, all is well.
It still is not installed. Will you please help me?

You are welcome.
Yes, I do know MacKeeper is a huge problem. It and most other cleaning programs, such as CleanMyMac, aren't necessary and often delete files that can mess up your entire computer.

When I try to open i photo I get a message saying it can't open because it is either damaged or incomplete. I worked a few days ago. What can I do?

I have a MacBook Pro that is 2 years old and is up to date with updates. All of a sudden when I attempt to open i photo I get a message that says it is either damaged or incomplete and cannot open. Any ideas on how to fix this?

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

Could not open

As part of a grant application I uploaded several pdfs that I created to the online grant server. I was previously able to open these files from the online server just fine but now I get an error message that says: "Could not open because it is either not a supported file type or becuase the file has been damaged (for example it was sent as an e-mail attachement and wasn't correctly decoded)." Others are able to open the files just fine using my password on another computer. I've already repaired my acrobat installation. Any suggestions? BTW I've tried to open then through both IE and GoogleChrome. Thanks!

The version is 9 pro. I tried to right mouse click to open, but that is not an option on the grant site. Most are simple pdfs I converted from word docs and the kicker is that others can view them on their computer through the grant site, but not me. I am able to view the original pdfs that I uploaded and at one time I was able to view them on the remote site. It feels to me like there is a preference that needs to be changed, or a setting in Adobe Acrobat that is not "turned on." I appreciate your thoughts.

Photo could not read iPhoto Library in NTFS

So far there is no problem for me to write and read iPhoto library into NTFS external hard disk. However, when I try to open the iPhoto library in Photo, it show the volume format is not supported ? How could it be like it can support iPhoto but could not support Photo ?

iPhoto needs to have the Library sitting on disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). That you can write to the disk doesn't matter. You can also write to several other disk formats, but having the Library on an inappropriately formatted disk risks library corruption and data loss. Later versions of iPhoto would not allow creating a library on these disks, and neither will Photos. You need to move the Library to an appropriate location.

Apple Support said OSX Server could not be used as a file server only

Hi There,
We bought OSX server thinking it would be easier than MS Small Business Server 2003 to setup, administer and maintain, as well as be more compatible with our mac studio.
The simple setup we would like is:
- A file server for our Mac studio (7x macs)
- A "My Documents" style redirect to backup email from the client machines
- Some sort of secondary backup to a HD on the server (primary Backup is already taken care of)
We're using a single 1.8ghz G5 box as the hardware
After a lot of trouble with the documentation and the setup example in the manual, I called Apple Tech Support.
I was told in no uncertain terms that if we didn't have a fully qualified domain name on the server (and all the services needed to run it), then I could not configure the server as a simple File Server with a My Documents redirect and that Apple could not support me. - IS THIS TRUE?
I am not a network/IT/PC guy, I'm a graphic designer, but I've found the installation and setup of MS Small Business Server to be much easier than OSX so far (despite the MS documentation).
Any help or direction would be very much appreciated.
Cheers
Ben

Hello,
If you need to just setup a FileServer then you do not need OpenDirectory or DNS. You just need AFP and Windows File Sharing turned on.
You can create a windows workgroup and setup shares in WorkGroup Manager using the internal users and groups database.
When the windows clients boot up you could set up a persistent mapping of a volume which would contain your email data. You would use a \\192.168.x.x type connection from the RUN menu.
It sounds like you could do with some more help on how best to use the server. I rekon you would be better off not having a simple fileserver (though it would work!) and make use of the extra functions availiable in the server software. On OS 10.4 server you can create a Windows Domain Controller that would allow all your PC home directories to be stored on the server, this will ensure that the Desktop, My Documents and anything elese the user stores in their profile will be safe and backed up on the server. You can also do this for the the Macs, in fact you can set it up so you can loggon to any PC in the office and your user information, desktop wallpaper and other settings follow you, if you were to then logon to a Mac you would have your documents follow you around the office. This works great for people hot-desking and using different types of computer.
I don't understand why you were advised to have a fully-qualified domain. When I have setup OpenDirectory and Windows Domain Controllers with DNS and LDAP etc I have just made up a domain name on the DNS server like "mycompany.net" and call the server "server.mycompany.net" and printers "epson.mycompany.net". The only problem with this is because if you were to use a domain name that is registerd on the internet then your computers would have trouble resolving that name, so don't use "apple.com" or "google.com".
Good luck,
David

Could not send location using whatsapp

I'm using curve 9220 & subscribed to BIS.. The problem is that I was enabled to send location using whatsapp just after I bought the phone. After a couple of month I changed my sim card and made security wipe on the phone to use a new simcard but I used the new simcard just for a week because it could not support BIS... Then I changed back to simcard that I originally used before somehow I can't remember wether I had made the security wipe or not.. But all application went back to normal except I can't send location via whatsapp... It says that "sorry your location could not be determined". I'm getting confused why I can't send location just like I did before... Could anybody help me to solve this.

Were you once able to send your location from that phone? I'm not sure how that would be possible because the Curve 9220 doesn't have GPS; the 9230 does but not yours.
Cheers.

Activation Error: Could not complete the iTunes... (help!)

Activation Error: "Could not complete the iTunes Store request. The store may be busy. Check your Internet connection or try again later"
Ok that is the error I get every time I set my new iPhone in the dock.
Details:
I bought the 8GB iPhone at the Kenwood Mall in Cincinnati OH, brought it home installed version 7.3 of iTunes, plugged in the dock and the iPhone, I went through the activation process and after agreeing to all the terms and licenses, the iPhone said "activated," but iTunes was still trying to connect to AT&T for something and eventually timed out. I remove the iPhone and it seems to sync and all features seem to work fine including making and receiving calls. BUT... everytime I place the iPhone in the dock, I get the above error. I click OK and every works fine. This happens everytime I place the iPhone in dock. How do I get rid of it??? Is there still something else that needs to be done on my account. BTW, my Internet is working fine, as I am typing this message via my Internet connection in IE on apple's site.
Thanks
Dell XPS Gen-2 Windows XP Pro 1GB Mem, SP2

I bought the 8GB model, only had a 45 minute wait in line at ATT store. Performed activation via iTunes over 10 hours ago with porting of old T-mobile number. Still receiving message that activation is not completed. Called ATT and after 3 transfers, 35 minute hold times and then a recorded message that "due to extremely high call volumes" we will not be able to answer your call" it then proceeds to disconnect you. Finally kept trying and talked with ATT rep. in portability and they confirmed my porting has been approved but that my account still shows iPhone not registered. They then provided 877-800-3701 for problems with iPhone activation. After speaking with this representative, he would not work with me until I provided Web Order #. I told him that I purchased the phone in person at store, so he said that I would need to contact the store to obtain this number and without this number they could not verify that I had the phone and therefore it couldn't be activated. I called the store and left message. A store rep. called me back and told me that I would need to contact that same 877 number as they could not support me. ***!! To make matters worse, my old phone is now been ported and deactivated so I am phone-less and have a iPhone sitting in the dock that is completely useless. I am very disgusted at this point and don't know what to do. I was not expecting such an awful customer experience with an Apple product. Anyone have any thoughts? I drove by the AT&T store and there is a huge line of buyers, so I am not sure what to do at this point.
