Dir 11 mis-matched to old dcr file

SOS. I created a web site for a client 2 years ago, with quizzes in Shockwave format. Used Dir MX. All worked. Now they want upgrades to quizzes, so I revised the Dir file with Dir 11, saved as dcr file, and now client gets the error message: "The page you are trying to open contains a movie that is referenced to an incorrect version of the Shockwave player." Dir 11 on Mac does not allow you to specific the Shockwave version. The HTML code is
<div id="content_lcol">
        <script type="text/javascript">
AC_SW_RunContent( 'codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/director/sw.cab#version=3,5,0,0','width' ,'600','height','400','src','animations/quizStaff','pluginspage','http://www.macromedia.co m/shockwave/download/' ); //end AC code
</script><noscript><object classid="clsid:166B1BCA-3F9C-11CF-8075-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/director/sw.cab" width="600" height="400">

        </object></noscript>
</div>
I assume its the cab#version line at fault. How do I fix it to say "Shockwave version 11.5"? I tried "version=11,5,0,0", but that didn't work. I'm authoring on Mac, playing back on Windows.
Any help sincerely appreciated.
regards, David

Try:
classid="clsid:233C1507-6A77-46A4-9443-F871F945D258"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/director/sw.cab#version=11,0,0,0"
I think you'll also need to specify the PlayerVersion (a new tag added to distinguish D11+ content from D10 and earlier - so that the backward compatibility player can load if required or able)
<param name=PlayerVersion value=11>
PlayerVersion=11

How do I convert an old DCR file to a standard video file, like MP4?

Preferably, I would like to use a free, easy to use program to convert old DCR files to a video format that I can upload to YouTube, etc.

You could put the files somewhere and I can export them as QuickTime. Or you could find anyone you know who has Director. Or do the 30 day trial download
Another approach would be to play the DCR in a browser window, and do a screen recording. But that’s unlikely to give the perfect frame rate that you would get by exporting from Director.

I have a sequence on tcp that is Standard Def. I have a new set of files in High Def that match the old files. I would like to replace all the SD footage with the HD footage. Anyone know of a workflow to do this task?

Do a media manage of the sequence converting the files to the appropriate HD format making the clips offline. Then simply reconnect the offline clips to the HD clips. There may be issues in the file names, but they can usually be worked out either with the naming options in media manager or renaming your hd files. There are many utilities that allow you to batch rename files.

Cant open .dcr file

Director 12, trial.
Mac OS 10.8.2
Old .dcr (guessing from between 2000 and 2005)
Its greyed out in the open file-window.
Is it not possible to open files with the trial version? Something else wrong maybe?
Edit: Renamed it .dir. Not greyed out anymore, but when trying to open it: Cant open file. Its protected. Is it possible to unprotect the file?

No version of Director can File/Open a DCR. If you want to look at a DCR, either drag it onto a browser window, or inside Director you can type this in the Message Window:
w = new window("")
open w
Then point to the DCR you want to look at.

Opening protected .dcr files

I've been supplied with source files from a new client that need alteration. However, when attempting to open the .dcr files, the following message appears:
"File is protected adn cannot be opened"
From what I can gather, the files in question (Director 8.5) were saved in such a way that there is no way to open them. I've tried dirOpener, but it fails to even see the files.
Are there any options for opening or importing them into Director 11.5 short of re-creating them? The projector files are available.
thanks,
david

That is not a source file. A file with the extension .dir is a source file. The .dcr extension means it's been published to shockwave so it can be run in a browser. I'd go back to the client and either get the source files, cancel the job, or requote with the new info as you'll have to recreate things from scratch.

Mis match in attributes of item category B and Blanket PO item details

Hi
I could not able to create a Blanket PO with document type FO and item category B (limit).
Normally for a blanket PO, GR is not allowed and IR is mandatory. So, I could able to see these checkboxes for GR (not set and grayed) and IR (set and grayed) in the item details of the PO in delivery and invoice tabs. But I end with an error message that 'GR is not set is used is not allowed' (exactly i don't remember but some thing like that)
Before creating a blanket PO, I found that in 'attributes of item categories', that for the item category B, GR is set and IR is not set (in customizing-OMH4). Of course, one cannot change the attributes of item categories.
I suppose due to this mis-match in the attributes of item categories and that in the PO, I'm getting an error message while creating a blanket PO and could not able to save.
Also I have checked all the system messages for the message displayed. No where(i.e. in any message class or category and for that message number) I found any such message defined with error in 'attributes of system messages' for purchasing, material master, inventory, invoice verification etc.
I suppose this error message is coming somewhere from the application program for the PO.
So, what can be the solution
waiting for your reply.
thank you

Thank you for your answer. I haven't mention this point in my thread but I have already tried this.
I have tried matching the GR and IR controls of account assignment category with PO GR, IR controls and also with item category B, GR, IR controls. Still i am getting the same error and could not able to save the PO
Also I have checked the field settings for PO for all categories like transaction relevant, item category relevant, etc in customizing.
Main problem is both GR and IR controls are being grayed in PO. Other wise I could able to change them as per my wish and could able to avoid the error even though the GR and IR controls in PO are correct as per the process requirement.
If possible, please check the GR and IR controls for item category B (in my system it showing that GR is set with binding and IR is not set with binding). But it should be reverse as per the process requirements and in limit PO it is showing correctly. i.e. with GR is not set with binding and IR is set with binding.
thank you

Pages 5 in Mavericks no longer opens Text files?- need to open old Clarisworks files

My 90 year old uncle clung to ClarisWorks, Appleworks far too long
He still has Claris Works documents he needs to open.Some so old that even AppleWorks version 6x, the final version of AppleWorks could not open!)
In Mountain Lion, he could open the older Clarisworks- Appleworks documents in TextEdit , save as .TXT file and then open that file in Pages
Tonight, after installing OS 10.9 ( Mavericks)he finds this work around unrelable : Sometimes the new Pages cannot open the .TXT message
How do I help him convert his old documents?
( he saved names and addresses in to Claris Works documents instead of entering into his Contacts/Address Book so now he is panicky to retrieve the addresses as he starts working on his holiday greeting and gift mailings)

Will the old Pages run under Maverick?
IF so that will be something to try
Old Pages did not open up the old Clarisworks docs but Pages 09 DID respond when we changed the extension of the CW documents to "TXT".
So , Uncle can try using Pages 09
We also can try Libre
I can install Text Wrangler- there was some advice that it will open the old CW files.
My concern is that Uncle IS 90years of age. He is remarkable using a Mac but he needs, wants everything to be straightforward and resists, cannot handle any process requiring too many steps
The need to use an intermediary translation system (CW->TXT->Pages) is stressful for him.
Such a shame that Apple did not program a translator to open the files made by its previous proprietary software (ClarisWorks and Appleworks)
Thanks all

Pages 08 won't open my old pages file

I just upgraded to Pages 08 and when I try to open the file I was working on yesterday, with the previous version of pages, it says "The document...couldn't be opened". How can I open the old pages file with the new version?

It may be useful to trash the preferences file:
<bootVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist
But I'm afraid that the document is corrupted.
Control click its icon then select the "Show package's contents" in the contextual menu.
The standard contents is:
Contents
QuickLook
index.xml.gz
The described message is displayed when there is no "index.xml.gz" (or "index.xml") file.
It is also displayed when the "index.xml.gz" (or "index.xml") is badly formed.
The index may be dropped when the documents where stored on an iDisk.

I can't save an old InDesign file to the new version

I can't save an old InDesign file to the new version. I keep getting this message:
I can only save the file as .IDML.

This happens to ALL old InDesign files on my iMac (problem does not happen on my Macbook pro). I have saved the files as .idml and opened them again. I get the same error when I try to save the file as .indd. They can ONLY be saved as .idml.
I never embed images and do not have font issues (file was created on the same iMac as it is being opened on now).
Sometimes I get an error when I first try to open an old file - it ays the file is damaged and can't be opened. I try again right after and it opens fine.

How do I use old data files with a new installation in Oracle 9i

I am in an unenviable position, with an unsupported database.
We are running Oracle 9i on Windows XP. We are upgrading soon to Oracle 11g on a newer platform, but need to get our development environment working first.
We lost a system that was running our development database without having a database export. The C drive was placed into a new system as the D drive.
I have loaded Oracle 9i on the C drive, but I have been unable to determine how to point it to the existing data files on the D drive. My search skills may be the limiting factor here...
We cannot simply load the drive as C, since the hardware is different.
What are the steps to point the new database software at the data files on the D drive? Or, how do I copy the old data files into the new Oracle Home and have them recognized properly?
Thanks for any advice.

Are you stating that you don't know how to use COPY command?
Can you recreate same directory structure on new C drive as exist on old C drive?
Can you then drag & drop copies of the files?

I have a old excel file that does not show hiding cell boxes on my Mac.

I have a old excel file that has some hiding info. in some of the cell boxes. I can not see them on my Mac computers. When I click on the cells to see the hidden info. it does not show up.

Are you using Mac OSX version of Excel or the Windows version of Excel? Regardless being specific to Excel, it would be best to ask in the Microsoft Office forums.

How do I copy my old xl files from my XP machine to operate on xl for Mac on my new iMac. When I copy them onto a stick and transfer them it automatically makes them xls files which are then corrupted when I try to open them in xl for mac

How do I copy my old xl files from my XP machine to operate on xl for Mac on my new iMac. When I copy them onto a stick and transfer them it automatically makes them xls files which are then corrupted when I try to open them in xl for mac

Sorry, yes this is Microsoft Excel. The Microsoft XP has Excel files denoted as xl, the later versions of Microsoft Excel are denoted as xls files. The later verions of Microsoft Excel open the xl files OK, does Excel for Mac not able to do this?

I/O error trying to open old AW files

I have hundreds of old Appleworks files from an older version (5.0) and when I try to open them with my new Intel based iMac using Appleworks 6.2.9 it says
" An I/O error occurred".
All I'm trying to do is open the file - not print or anything else. I can't figure it out.
Need help.
Larry
imac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Yvan Koenig has said he has some AppleWorks 5 files fail to open in AppleWorks 6 with the I/O error. I've never had a problem opening any AppleWorks 5 files whether they were created on a Mac or PC.
Are you sure that some of these files aren't ClarisWorks 4 or earlier files? AppleWorks 6.2.9 (the current version) can't open all ClarisWorks 4 or earlier files & gives an I/O error. There doesn't appear to be a way to predict which files will cause problems. I've had it happen & not happen with all AppleWorks file types. These files can be opened by any other version of AppleWorks 6.
I'm not clear if it's one file or all of the files you can't open. If it's just one or a few, I'd think there is some corruption in the file. If it's a lot (more than half) & you're sure they are AppleWorks 5 files, some basic troubleshooting might help.
First step, delete the AppleWorks 6 preferences as they may be corrupt, particularly the translator cache. See my user tip, AppleWorks has stopped working correctly, for more info.
Did you move these files from one Mac to another using a USB flash drive or other removable device? If the device is PC-formatted, some information in the files may have been lost in the transfer. Another user tip addresses this problem - AppleWorks 6 won't open my AW 5 files.
I'd be willing to take a look at two or three of these problem files for you & see if I can figure out where the problem is. E-mail them to me with a subject line of "I/O errors." Just click my name in blue next to this post. My public e-mail address is in the biography section.

How do I stop a copy of backup files? Time Machine filled my extern HD, I bought a 2TB, drag and drop the old backup files and now my iMac has been stuck in "preparing copy" mode all night.

My 235 MB external HD was full, I bought a new 2TB and dragged and dropped the old backup files to it. Now my iMac is frozen in "preparing copy" mode. How can I 'unfreeze' it? How should I move the backup files from one external HD to the other?

This has been answered here so may times (especially by pondini, e.g. in this thread Time Machine stuck in repeating "preparing files" cycle), so please search this forum the next time before asking such a question.
