.CR2 file "may be an application"

I get this warning when I receive these files (from a trusted, known source) via yousendit or by email. The Mac OS is creating the warning whenever I try to open the files. So I have to open each one separately and click "open" before I can continue. Can this function be disabled? Thanks. MacPro 10.5.8, CS3

Downloading and installing this script, seems to be an answer. http://henrik.nyh.se/2007/10/lift-the-leopard-download-quarantine

Could not save as - The file may be read-only or is already open in another application

Can anyone think of a reason why if I'm working locally on a CS3 Flash .fla on my C: drive that I would get the error:
Could not save as: C:\Users\John\Desktop\Project_File\ANNUAL REPORT RELEASE\01-19-11\report_stragegy.fla
The file may be read-only or is already open in another application. Save using a different name, or close the document and try again.
I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
It happens sporadically. I haven't been able to find a reason why this error pops up when saving some of my .fla files!!
The files are not set to "read only" when I right click on them and choose 'Properties' in the Windows 7.
I found some somewhat similar situations with saving errors:

Sometimes I can save with a different file name. But sometimes I can't and start a new blank document and cut and paste from the one that won't save to the new untitled document.

How to fix file when it says, "Cannot open file " ". Adobe Indesign does not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file may be missing, or file may be open in another application." It worked one second, I saved and closed the file, then tried to reopen and now it won't work. I am using Adobe InDesign CS5. It is the only version on my comp. I have tried opening on another comp & copying the file – same error comes up. PLEASE HELP

First check the version of the document with Jongware's script "Identify.jsx" (ExtendScript/JavaScript).
You can find it here:
[Ann] Identify Your InDesign File
If it is CS 5.5 or above, you need someone to open it in the version the script says and export an IDML representation from that. Another way would be to install a 30days version of CS6 or above (CC) and do it yourself.
In regards of the script showing a result for InDesign files higher than CS6:
CS7 = CC v9
CS8 = CC v10 = CC-2014 or CC2014.1

Getting error "Cannot open the file "*****.INDD". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application."

How to fix this problem
"Cannot open the file "*****.INDD". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application."

When I have seen this message it is either when I try to open a document with an older version of Indesign E.g. an indesign 2014 document with Indesign CC.
The other time I have seen it is to open an Indesign CC document with Indesign 2014 which does not have Mindsuite - a plugin I use. Mindsuite, as yet, has not upgrade the plugin for Indesign 2014 therefore it recognises that a the document was created withe a plugin that the 2014 version does not have installed.
I believe your problem will be something like that.

Cannot download as excel - get a message that the file may be open in another application but is not! what do I check?

I am trying to download responses as an excel spreadsheet but get a message that Adobe cannot save the file. A suggested problem is that the file may be open in another application but I have nothing else open. Any suggestions?

InDesign cannot open a PDF natively. You can Place pages from the PDF as linked images, or you can purchase a commercial plugin from Recosoft or Markzware that will convert PDF to InDesign.

LR 2.4 crashing on 500d cr2 files - CameraRaw!CTJPEGRotateImage

LR 2.4 is consistently crashing while viewing cr2 files from a Canon 500d / T1i. I've just recently started using LR, but unfortunately it crashes so frequently (within a minute or two) that I haven't made it much past just importing my photos and starting to add keywords and delete rejects. I'm curious if anyone else is running into this type of issue. At this point my only real option is to give up on LR (just use DPP and then PS CS4) or perhaps try it on another PC in hopes that there's some incompatibility/problem on this specific box. . . I hate to do this as we have LR licenses at work already plus I'd love to purchase it for home use as well. . .
Environment:
Windows XP x64 SP2
LR DB on local NTFS
CR2 files on mapped network drive.
See Dr. Watson below for more. . .
Steps to reproduce:
Do a couple of the following actions (all in the Library module):
    Select imags and add keywords in grid view
    Zoom in and out on a couple of images
    Switch folders and repeat the first couple of steps
Usually I get crashes by doing this within a minute or two and by manipulating about 20-50 files (so very quickly).

Just for reference, my LR database is on my local disk, not on my network drive. I have no issues using this network share with any other programs (such as DPP or Explorer).
I have all of the latest updates available from MS update, including the latest video driver from their site for my Nvidia 7900GS. I'll check the Nvidia site and see if there are any other (newer) drivers available directly from them.
It has been a long while since I've done anything with RAW files, so this is really in all practicality my first experience and definitely so on this PC (I had a Canon G1, so yeah, a *long* time;->). I probably have some older G1 raw files around I could try working with as well if messing with the video drivers doesn't make any difference.
I'll make some adjustments and get back to folks with results, thanks for the suggestions so far!

Cannot view cr2 files in Bridge cs4 & Windows 7

I can not convert the cr2 files in cs4      nor read them with new Windows 7      Home Edition 64 bit computer
Upon      downloading from my camera I am unable to view the images.
After      downloading the file, when clicking on the file in Bridge to bring it into      Photoshop I get the following message” Could not complete your request      because it is not the right kind of document”
I am      able to view the images on the media card from the camera.
I have      contacted Canon and they suggest that it’s a software issue and that I      should go to the Adobe website and      look for Windows 7 64 updater.
I was      unable to find anything with this reference but I updated to Bridge 5.7.
After      trying to see the images after the update I was still unable to view the      images so I logged onto the Adobe Support site and was told that they no      longer support cs4.
Any suggestions ?

Keep in mind that if your camera is newer than the last released version of Camera Raw (5.7) for Photoshop CS4, Adobe does provide a free solution for compatibility, as Curt has mentioned, through the use of the free DNG Converter application.
The way that works is this:
1. You get your raw images from your new camera into a folder on your computer.
2. You run the latest DNG Converter application and choose the folder.
3. It converts the entire folder full of images to .DNG files.
4. You open a DNG file as you would an older raw file, with your old version of Photoshop.
While the DNG Converter provides you a way to continue to use your older Photoshop software with a new camera, keep in mind that there are significant improvements in the raw converter in the latest version of Photoshop that may allow you to make better images out of your raw files if you do choose to upgrade Photoshop.

Opening cr2 files in Yosemite

Hello,
I had recently bought an iMac but I'm unable to open cr2 files when I'm trying to do a double click to open in Yosemite. Although I can open them in Lightroom 5.7 and could not in CS6(understand I need to upgrade it). I know there should be a way to open cr2 files by directly double clicking on the image, but as of now I'm unable to find in the net.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Yes, I do not have any problem when opening with iPhoto.
How are you "opening" in iPhoto? Simply browsing the photos in iPhoto will may be using use the embedded preview images. Can you edit your photos in iPhoto or export them using "File > Export"? Only if you can export a photo or edit it in iPhoto using iPhoto's editor, you can be sure, that the the RAW support for your camera is properly installed.
Your camera needs this RAW compatibility update to be installed -see this link: Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 6.01
Have you installed all recent RAW compatibility updates? And for the applications to find the installed RAW support it needs to be registered with the Launch Service database using the lsregister command. This database keeps a list of supported media formats. Sometimes this list will be outdated and recent entries missing.
In that case it can help either to reinstall the RAW support, see this post:
Re: Digital Camera Raw Compatibility 6.02 - Nikon D800
Or to run register it manually by running the lsregister command from the Terminal:

New iMac and Aperture not loading .CR2 files? Any ideas?

Hi, I have recently upgraded from a 2009 MBP (running 10.6) to a 27" iMac. What I am finding is that after migrating my applications Aperture will not load/show my CR2 files. It says they are an unsupported format. Any ideas for a solution? These files are stored on an external drive and open fine in photoshop CS5... I have tried installing Camera Raw 6.4.1 updater... PLEASE HELP! Thanks

Reinstalling Aperture may work but as the RAW conversion is external to Aperture (all Apple programs that can work with RAW filles use the same conversion process) I'm not sure it's going to help.
If re-installing Aperture doesn;t fix the problem have a look in /System/Library/CoreServices for two bundles:
CoreTypes.bundle
RawCamera.bundle
Highlight each in turn and do a Get Info. The CoresTypes.bundle showuld be version 301.21 and the RawCamera..bumdle should be 3.9
If you still have the problem post back.
good luck

"image may be an application", warning

This is also posted in the Safari forum.
I receive a folder of images, as a download via yousendit.
I am unable to open a batch of these photos in Photoshop because each image I click on gives this warning. Each photo must be opened separately to click past the warning, in order to proceed.
Where can I permanently turn off this "image may be an application" warning?
Thanks.

They are Canon .CR2 RAW files.
It must be an OS thing because I get the same warning when opening them in Preview (for the first time, that is).
I get similar warnings (when opening) whether they arrive as an email attachment or downloaded from the internet.

I can't open .CR2 files in Photoshop CS4

I'm unable to get the .CR2 files from my new Canon Rebel T3i to open in Photoshop CS4. I just got this camera and I never had this problem with my old camera (Rebel Xsi). The raw files from the Xsi will still open, but not the ones from the new camera. Can anyone help me understand why this is happening?
Thanks, Jo

Just to be perfectly accurate, that would be two options.
To use the free Adobe DNG converter, you would download and install the very latest version then whenever you want to edit raw images you'll go through a process something like this:
1. Upload the .cr2 files from your camera into a folder on your hard drive.
2. Run the DNG Converter application and select the folder (it works on folders, not files).
3. Convert all the .cr2 files to .dng files.
4. Open the .dng files into Photoshop CS4 through the Camera Raw dialog.

Updated to latest ACR 6.6 but still can't open CR2 files from Canon Rebel XSi

I updated to latest version of Adobe Camera Raw 6.6 but still can't seem to open my CR2 files in Photoshop. Can't open them in Lightroom either, no preview in Bridge or OS.
I'm running OS 10.7.2 and Photshop 12.1 x 64 which is CS5.1 I suppose.
I've downloaded Canon's EOS utility hoping that would somehow do something as well but nothing.
The images were shot on Canon Rebel XSi which is certainly supported by the newest version of ACR. So I have no clue as to what's happening... I previously downloaded these images onto my old laptop about a year ago and everything was fine, however now I'm not even getting a preview in OS. Do I have to revert to an older version of ACR (perhaps the same one I used originally?) to open these files again? These files have been stored on a hard drive, so I'm not downloading them directly from the camera-again, this probably has nothing to do with it but not sure what to do. A lot of the posts I've seen recommend downloading the latest version of ACR to fix the issue, but again I've done that and as a matter of fact the camera (Rebel XSi) has been supported for some time now...
In OS, when the image is selected no preview:
Lightroom error:
Bridge, no preview:
Photoshop error:
Ideas, suggestions?

Something appears to be wrong with your files.
Are most of your images approx. 3.7 MB?
This is very small for a 12 MP image.
If you go back to the original file on your laptop, what is the file size?
Also the fact that the Mac OS is not showing the preview is unusual.
Perhaps these files got corrupted when they were moved to your new computer.
Can you open these files OK on your old laptop?
Is the OS showing the previews on your old laptop?
Also compare the file sizes between old and new computer.
Have you tried repairing your permissions?
Try Disk Utility in your Macs Applications - Utilities - Disk Utility to see if this helps.
Good Luck!

After installation of latest Bridge and Photoshop version (2014.2.2) *.CR2 files will not be displayed correctly, neither in preview nor in Camera Raw dialog.

After installation of latest Bridge and Photoshop version (2014.2.2) *.CR2 files will not be displayed correctly anymore, neither in preview nor in Camera Raw dialogue.
Some pictures have white squares with blue and red diagonal stripes that cover almost the complete picture.
When opening those files I have the same problem in Camera Raw dailogue and even in Photoshop eventually.
I tried to open the same same pictures on another computer with the same version of Bridge and Photoshop but the problem remains the same.
It seems like the files itselves are still ok, because if you open an explorer window the previews of the pictures are all ok. And the pictures' sizes remain the same.
I tried to clear the cache in both programs but it didn't help.
Has anyone an idea????

First see if a reboot of your PC helps. If not,
Resets may be in order:
Photoshop: Press and hold Control - Shift - Alt immediately upon cold-starting Photoshop. If you get the keys down quickly enough - and you have to be VERY quick - it will prompt you to confirm deletion of your established preferences, which will lead to them all being set to defaults.
Bridge: Start Adobe Bridge and immediately press Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS) until the Reset Settings dialog box appears. Select all three options--Reset Preferences, Reset Standard Workspaces, and Purge Entire Thumbnail Cache--and then click OK.
Outdated graphics drivers can also cause display problems. Go to your GPU maker's website and be sure you have the latest drivers for your card model.

Can't open CR2 files in PS or LR

I have a Canon EOS D1000. Adobe Creative Cloud with Lightroom 5 and Photoshop 14.2.1. Have have a Mac OS X 10.7.5. I cannot open my CR2 files in either Lightroom or Photoshop. I have downloaded a camera raw plugin which produces a 'patch installer' whatever that is. Still doesn't seem to work. Where am I going wrong with this? Thanks if you can help

If you mean a Canon 1000D, that has been supported for several years, already, since LR 2.1 and PS-CS3/ACR 4.6.
What specific error do you see in LR? If neither LR nor PS are working then that suggests the files are corrupted or there are permission problems, or that they may be corrupted.
If you want you can upload one of your CR2s that doesn’t work to somewhere like http://www.dropbox.com/ and post a public download link, here, and others can try to see if the files work for them.
I can confirm that a 1000D CR2 I downloaded from this site works ok in ACR 8.4 RC:
