CS4 file problem help

Apologize for the fact that I'm sure the answer is out there somewhere but got kids and not a lot of time.
Q: I have been given (.mov) files imported into imovie on a drive but I have CS4 for PC and can't import. Is there a solution for this? The person is in a remote location in Indonesia so getting to them is very difficult.

There may be, but so very much will depend on what is inside those MOV files. That MOV is just a wrapper, and can contain a lot of different "stuff." Most of it can be edited on a PC, but some is Mac-specific.
This ARTICLE will give you some background on the concept of "wrappers," and tell you how to find out (G-Spot) what is inside.

Huge Flash File Problem HELP!

Hi,
I am making a flash animation with imports from illustrator,
using copy and paste mainly, the resolution of the animation is
1280 x 1024. The fla file has crawled to 110MB and is seriously
killing my computer when i trya nd work on it. It takes 25 minutes
to save! I need the final animation to run full screen a t that
resolution. Should I be making it at that resolution
is this the problem?
please help
thanks

AI artwork can often be flattened in flash by selecting all
and using Ctrl + B (break apart) until
it's all 1 layer of vector data as opposed to several grouped
objects.

Linked excel file problem - Help needed

I have 2 excel files in the same directory in Content Services. The "destination" file has a link in one of its cells to a cell in the "source" file. I want to be able to open the "destination" file and update the data if any changes have been made to the "source" file.
My problem is when I try to do this i get an error that says "This workbook contains one or more links that cannot be updated" and two options.
1) To change the source of links, or attempt to update values again, click Edit Links.
2) To open the workbook as is, click Continue.
If I click Edit Links I am then presented with a screen where I can open the "source" file. When I try to do this though I am given a login screen. Supplying a valid Content Services username and password doesn't work and I cannot open the file.
Can anyone tell me how I can open the "destination" file without having to open every "source" file? I don't want to open the "source" files because there could be dozens of "source" files for one "destination" file.

setw is the equivalent of the field width value in printf. In your code, the printf version would look like:
printf("%8s", CURSOR->name.c_str());
I much prefer printf over any I/O formatting in C++. See the printf man page for more information. I recommend using Bwana: http://www.bruji.com/bwana/
I do think it is a good idea to verify your code on the platform it will be tested against. That means Visual Studio. However, you don't want to use Visual Studio. As you have found out, it gets people into too many bad habits. Linux is much the same way. Both development platforms are designed to build anything, whether or not it is syntactically correct. Both GNU and Microsoft have a long history of changing the language standards just to suit themselves.
I don't know what level you are in the class, but I have a few tips for you. I'll phrase them so that they answers are a good exercise for the student
* Look into const-correctness.
* You don't need to compare a bool to 1. You can just use bool. Plus, any integer or pointer type has an implicit cast to bool.
* Don't reuse your CURSOR pointer as a temporary index. Create a new pointer inside the for loop.
* In C++, a struct is the same thing as a class, with all of its members public by default. You can create constructors and member functions in a struct.
* Optimize your function arguments. Pass by const reference instead of by copy. You will need to use pass by copy at a later date, but don't worry about that now.
* Look into initializer lists.
* In C++ NULL and 0 are always the same.
* Return the result of an expression instead of true or false. Technically this isn't officially Return Value Optimization, but it is a good habit.
Of course, get it running first, then make it fancy.

An applet is not allowed to write files.
But you can use a signed applet.

Macbook Air 11" i7 corrupt files problem with Adobe Illustrator CS4

Hi
this problem may not be entirely related but maybe someone could help anyways or knows how I can proceed...
I'm running Illustrator CS4 on a Macbook Air 11" (latest 2011 model, with i7, 4GB, 128SSD), and lately some files are getting corrupted. specifically, adobe illusrator CS4 files with weeks of work. interestingly, the time machine backups are also getting corrupted.
its like I'm working on a file for a few days, backing up with time machine as well
closes the file, after a few days returns to it… (normal behavior)
then when i try to get back to the file then sometimes it says "Cant open the illustration, could not complete the operation" and opens a blank canvas.
restoring the file via time machine also gives the same error (its like all versions get corrupted simultaneously), even 4-5 versions backwards, even though they worked before when the file worked
it happened quite a few times, ruining weeks of work.
I tried the following:
reinstalling CS4 - didn't work
Opening the files on CS5 - still don't open
doing the file recovery thing and then opening it in a notepad - didn't work at all
using Time machine - the files are still corrupt
it only happenes with AI files, not photoshop files, for example.
I thought maybe it has anything to do with SSD? since my previous macbook pro (15", 2007) never did these errors…
please help
Eido

If at all, this would be I/O performance and bandwidth issues with Time Machine, but I don't think that's the problem. More to the point I think that it's a case of Preview opening the files to genereate thumbnails and icons and something going wrong there. I'd look up some guides on how to edit the relevant plist and conf files to exclude your AIs or turn off the behavior to generate these previews globally. This may help hugely...

Problems opening InDesign CS4 files in CS5

We have just upgraded to CS5 to take advantage of the tracked changes facility, and immediately encountered problems:
when opening CS4 files in CS5, we've noticed that formulae, created using charater styles, are not displaying properly. For example x = y / z, which would have the x and = signs dropped, the y underlined and the z on the next line, something like this (although much prettier than I can reproduce here):
x = y
z
in CS5, however, all gyphs in the formula are superimposed upon each other
we tried loading the character styles from our template document. However, that caused most of the content to dissapear!
we tried converting our template to CS5 and then loading the character styles from our template document. However, that also caused most of the content to dissapear!
Anybody got any clues?

If you are opening the CS4 files directly in CS5, try exporting CS4 files to IDML and opening the IDML files in CS5. It's worth a try if you haven't already found it doesn't help.

Illustrator CS4 wont save files, please help?

You can edit a file, go to save, close it down, then when you re-open it the changes made have not been saved?? No error message or warning pops up, and it all looks ok like it has saved properly, until you open it up again. This also happens when you use 'save as' command if you use the original file name. If however you type in a different file name - it saves ok. But obviously that is not great as you cant now trust or rely on the save mechanism of the programme, to make sure any changes to artwork have been stored!! I have never seen an issue like this, it is worrying, I hope somebody can help?
Thanks.
We are running CS4 on windows7 - yes PC!!!

We save in EPS, and its not just one file, its a variety of different files and it seems to be random as to which files it does it on, some work fine - some don't. And it can be anything from a minor text change to a colour change, it doesnt seem to matter on the change made, it reacts the same.
The files are saved over a network connection to a large external hard drive.
Its really puzzling and now starting to cause problems as we do a fair bit of work in it, and can't trust one of the most important features, and that any changes that have been done have been saved and stored!
Hope maybe you can help with any thoughts at all.
Cheers.

Is it possible to open a CS4 file in CS3 without any problems?

Or do CS4 files have any extra things that would cause problems if I tried to open it in CS3? If so, what could I do to solve this?

It's not possible to open a CS4 .indd file in CS3 at all.
You can open a .inx file exported from CS4, but text will probably flow a little differently and any unsupported new features that were used in the file will be lost. Your CS3 must be updated to the last patch.

HELP! Could somebody export CS4 file to (*.inx)CS3?

Please could somebody help me? I urgently need to open a InDesign CS4 file, but only have CS3.
It only takes a few minutes... please help!

Photoshop CS4 file saving problem...

Photoshop CS4 file saving problem: When no file name is specified, Photoshop saves file to the root directory of the drive instead of the current folder. It auto names the image with the name of the folder that was active. Can this be fixed?
BTW: I was using "save for web"--not sure if it that matters.

Bug reports should go in the main forum.
And yes, SFW has it's own file code so that is a very important detail.

CS4 File Printing Problem

After recently experiencing a transient power outage I am having a problem printing a particular file from Photoshop CS4. The system seems to have recovered well from the electrical outage, with one exception. When I try to print a particualr file that I had been working on, I get the foillowing message.
The Vista-64 operating system recognizes the installed printers (two), my other apps have no problem printing to the default printer and opening a few other Photoshop files does not produce the same problem. In other words, the problem seems file specific. The question is how do I remedy the problem with this important file ? Duplicating its many layers in a new file does not solve the problem.

When you open up the PS print window does it list the correct printer?
Yes, I have rebooted and everyting else on the computer is happy with the printer setup. I've also reset PS preferences. It seems to be a file problem.
No PS print window opens- After the error mesage window is dismissed I am back in editing mode for the file.
I think I am going to have to create a new document and drag all the layers from the subject file into the new file and hope that clears up the problem. As I mentioned, selecting all the layers and using the Duplicate Layers command to a new file did not solve the problem.

PS - update: I Created a new file, dragged all the layers from the problem file to the new file and the printing problem disappeared. Do not understand it, but when dealing with a probably corrupted file understanding is a stretch.

Premiere CS4 - File Linking Problems

For some reason Premiere is mixing up my imported After Effects CS4 files. For example, while Im working it will suddenly associate my After Effects file named "SceneA" with the file named "SceneB". If I try importing "SceneB" again it brings in "SceneA" instead. It will do this with several of my files and switch everything up. Im only working with 4 After Effects files and am scared I'll have 20 or so files and it will start mixing those up, which will be a disaster.
Anyone else experiencing this?

I import several files straight into after effects for editing (multi tga, jpeg, psd, etc), then import the AE file straight in PrPro for ading text and organizing. To work around the problem I had to put each AE file into different folders to keep PrPrp from mixing them up. Never had this problem with CS3, but doesnt sound like anyone else is experiencing this, which leads me to believe its something with my computer, I dont know.
I am running windows XP and have a second operating system (also windows XP) installed. Had to work around a virus that took over my computer. Could this be a contributing factor I wonder? Would delete the 2nd operating system but it wont, so cant test that theory.

DW CS5 Missing Related Files Problem

Hello
Hoping somebody may be able to help me with a missing related files problem in CS5. I've tried Adobe phone support but they couldn't solve the problem.
*Some* of my sites (but not all) are not showing all the files related to that page. My pages are typically in .asp vb server model and contain .asp virtual includes (header, nav etc) plus .js and .css linked files
However DW is only showing the .asp includes as related files and not css or js ones. In design view the CSS is displaying correctly, and all styles appear in the CSS inspector but not showing as a related file in the bar. In CS4 it works fine.
I've tried deleting the site and recreating it, copying the files to a new folder and setting up a fresh site, creating a new folder and downloading all files from the remote server but no joy. I've also tried refreshing related files. if I click on the filter in the bar it only shows the asp includes and nothing else.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated, this is a great feature when it works
Cheers
MB

UPDATE:
Managed to solve this problem, this is a new issue to DW CS5, previous versions do not seem to exhibit this problem
It occurs when you use site root rather than document relative paths for js/css etc files AND don't have the remote site url (web url) specified in the site setup | local info dialog, or do not have it fully qualified with http://
ie. ../js/file.js works fine without a remote web url but /js/file.js does not show the related file in the bar unless a remote url is defined.
Hope that helps anyone else that encounters the same issue!
