Error -50 when opening a m4v file

Hi, I have trouble opening m4v files with quicktime.
I get a message box stating:
Error -50: an unknown error occurred
This happens on some PCs only. Re-installing quicktime doesn't help.
If I change the extension to .mov, the files are playing fine.
Any ideas ?

The "default" open with application for .m4v should be iTunes (not QuickTime Player).
Do you have it installed?
You should be able to "force" QuickTime Player to open the file by dragging the file icon unto the Player icon, using the File menu Open and navigate or right clicking on the icon and changing the default open with application.

"uses a file type that is blocked from opening in this version" error message when opening a *.doc file with Word already running

Several customers running different versions of Office 2011 (14.4.1-14.4.5) on OSX varying from 10.7.5 to 10.9.5, running on various kinds of hardware (iMac/MacBook Pro/MacBook Air) of various ages are having issues opening *.doc files if the Word is already open. The error message that gets displayed is, "XXXX.doc uses a file type that is blocked from opening in this version"
When the customer tries to open the same file via File-Open, she gets "The file is locked for editing. you can open the file as read-only".
When trying to do so, she gets "Word cannot open this document. The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document, or the file name might contain invalid characters".
If Word gets Force-quit, the same document opens without any problems.
1. Repairing Disk permissions was ran several times. and the volume was found to be OK.
2. I have noticed that in this scenario either deleting the normal.dotm or com.microsoft.word.plist (~/Library/Preferences) sometimes resolves the issue, sometimes it doesn’t. There is no pattern to follow. All versions of Office are affected, the fully updated and the non-updated ones.
3. I have tried completely removing the suite using Office 2011 Uninstall.app and/or Remove Office 2011 Uninstaller.pkg, then going through customer's library and manually removing all the Office references.
4. None of these systems had Office 2008 in the past.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Reboot both the Mac and the server. Word opens .DOC files and Excel opens .XLS files. As you have found out by copying the files to the computer. It is the connection between the 2 computer that is causing the error.

Error message when opening a .cp file (version issue?)

I am using Captivate 4.0 and exporting to a .swf file.
My project partner is using Captivate 3.0
I sent her my Captivate file to use as a template for our project and when she tries to open it, she gets an error message:
Adobe Captivate could not open "file.cp" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)
I didn't send the file to her via email. I uploaded it to our shared server.
Any ideas?
As always, thank you in advance!
mon.mac

Sorry, but Captivate is not (and has never been) backwards compatible. In CP4 you can open a CP3-file, but it will be converted to the CP4-format (you get a warning message). You can not open a CP4-file in CP3. What is possible (but you have to install both versions CP3 and CP4) is copying slide per slide to an new, blank CP3 project.
No luck,

"Unknown Error Occured" when opening any Illustrator file

Hi.
When trying to open a .ai file, the "unkown error occured" message appears.. Same happens when creating a new file. It's CS4.. Really don't know what else to say, hope you can help me.

iTolmach,
You may try to Ctrl/Cmd+Alt/Option+Shift during startup or Move the folder with Illy closed.
If it is not something in the Adobe Illustrator CS4 Settings folder, it may be (with tests):
1. Corrupt font(s): you may move all fonts out of the Windows fonts folder (and move them back in);
2. Firewall interference (especially if more than one is running (XP SP2 adds one if activated)): you may turn them off (and on again);
3. Some versions of Acrobat generate many temp files. Too many (64K) causes the problem: you may search and destroy Temp files;
4. Some other inconsistency caused by Adobe Acrobat/Reader: you may try uninstalling and reinstalling (a newer version).
5. Incompatible/old printer definition file for the default printer: you may upgrade the driver, change the default, or set the PostScript driver/PDF to default;
6. Using a US/English version of Illustrator with Windows set to a different language: you may enter Control Panel>Regional and Language Setteings and change to English (and change back).
7. Quicktime/iTunes: uninstall Quicktime and make sure the Quicktime folder is deleted in the Program Files folder; and/or uninstall iTunes.
If none of these possible solutions work, have you made any (other) changes to the PC between succes and failure? New software loaded?
In the end, you may have to rebuild. In that case, remember to use the Cleanup: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html

Color error message when opening a photoshop file in Illustrator

I have a photo of the airport, with blue sky etc. I would like to make it all one color as a background image. I want the background of the photo to be light orange wit the building to be darker orange. Is there a way to do that in Illustrator? To try out different colors foreground and background or do I have to do it in Photoshop? How do I fill all the colors in the photo to just the two colors? This photo is untouched.
I also have a photo that has photoshop effects. When I open it in Illustrator I get an error message. It says "the document's embedded color profile does not match the current CMYK working space. The current CMYK color management policy is to discard profiels that do not match the working space.
I have the start of a web page in my working space. With this photo I think I am opening it in a separate page but it won't let me. I probably will use the untouched photo but I'm curious why its giving me the message. My workspace should be in RGB web safe colors. Is that why it won't let me open the CMYK photoshop file? I guess it has non-web safe colors but my thought was to change it to all web safe colors but maybe that is way too hard in Illustrator?
thankx,

You can color a grayscale tiff in Illustrator by simply selecting it then selecting a color you want.
I would think if these are two spot colors and you really want two different oranges you would want to clip the building either in
Photoshop or Illustrator and place it on top of one another.
I would normally say do a duo tone but that would mix the two colors.
So this is how i would go about it in Illustrator
1. Import the image as a grayscale tiff or import it and convert it to a grayscale by going to Edit>Edit Colors>Convert to Grayscale
2. then select the background color.
3. then copy the image and paste in front Command C and then Command F and select the darker orange color
4. with the pen tool create an a path that is the shape of the building exactly. Make sure it is a closed path.
5. then select the path and the top image the one you paste in front.
6. then go to Object>Clipping Path>Make
7 I would then group the two
with this method you have to good with the pen tool, but that is true of Illustrator in general.
now with the CMYK image it is allowing you to place it but is simply warning you of the conversion taking place.
What you should do is select in your Photoshop and Illustrator color settings to sRGB since this is probably the space you want.
and convert the CMYK into a RGB file which is what you should have done in the first place.
So open it i Photoshop convert to sRGB and replace it in Illustrator.
All should be fine.

File Dialog Error 43 when open thousands of files

When the express File Dialog is configured to allow opening multiple files, it gives Error 43 Operation Cancelled by User if more than about 2000 files are selected. It works fine if say 1500 files are selected.

NI R&D is aware of the bug and a Corrective Action Request (Req # 484053) has been filed to resolve this issue.
The current suggested workaround is to call the File Dialog Express VI multiple times, and build up the file path array yourself.
Feel free to contact our Applications Engineering Team to check whether a permanent solution has been reached.

The files I'm most concerned with playing are my animations exported from Final Cut and from another system's quicktime. These usually are quicktimes or .wma's that are either uncompressed or with a variety of compression, usually DV-NTSC, H.264, HDV 1080 60i, or mpeg4 for the web. But as I've professed before, it seem that the file type isn't necessarily factor. Any video file that should play in Quicktime does not and the program crashes. Upon this I get a very vague error message which reads "Quicktime Player has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." That unfortunately is as much detail as I can give at the moment. I know this is a vague problem and that my information is just as vague, but that is all I have gathered. Anything is appreciated.

I use to be able to play m4v files on both iTunes and Quick Time 7. Suddenly, after upgrading iTunes, I get error 23132 when trying to open a M4v file. How do I fix it to view the files on QuickTime?

There is software you installed to work with your company's cloud service, update it or talk to the developer.

Error message when opening CS6 files in earlier versions

PSCS6 with 12.0.4 update. Mac OSX 10.8.2 16GB 1333 Mhz DDR3 543 GB Available
I've recently become aware that other people are getting an error message when opening many of my my psd files if they are on earlier versions of PS and also on PSE, (including the latest version). The message is:
This document contains unknown data which will be discarded to keep layers editable. To preserve the original appearance instead, choose flatten to load composite data as a flattened image.
Three options follow: Flatten Cancel Keep Layers
When 'keep layers' is selected the file opens as normal. However, people with much earlier version (CS version 8) don't get the option to keep layers, and the layers are flattened when the document is opened.
I still have CS5 on my mac, and I find that if I take my finished file into CS5 and save it there, the customer does not get the message above, and the file behaves as it should. Those on very early version of PS can also open the files without any issues.
I've been using CS6 since it was released and have had to delve through all my files and save them in CS5. Not every file is affected and I've been unable to find a common thread.
Hoping someone can throw some light on this.

This similar to the message one should get in an older version of photoshop such as photoshop 7.
If one presses ok instead of read composite that might preserve the layers with the original look.
But sometimes if a layer blending mode or some other feature is used an earlier versions of photoshop doesn't have, reading the composite is the only way to preserve the look of the image.
You said your using shape layers?
If they are shape layers you didn't use a stroke from the tool options bar?
Can you post an example of the image with the layers panel visible that you get that message with?
I guess your using photoshop cs6 with the 13.01 update?

HELP - illustrator cs5 error message when opening cs3 files

Has anyone else had this issue? Do you know how to fix it.
I just bought and downloaded cs5. When opening Illustrator cs3 files I get an error message: "Can't finish previewing. Could not complete the requested operation."
Then it opens the file but I it is only line work (no fills, gradients, etc) and I can not do anything in the file. If I click an object the error message pops up again.
This is what it looks like in cs3.
This is how it displays in cs5
I cant find anything online about this issue. Also this occurs on all of my illustrator files, not just one.
any advice?
thanks

I think your current system should be fine for running Illustrator CS5. Please let us know if the original problem happens for you again.
I think your system is also fine for running Adobe Illustrator CS 5 but of course you are running the system as well and a browser and e-mail client…and perhaps Adobe Photoshop or Adobe InDesign or Microsoft Word in which case I think there might be on occasion an out of memory issue and with a complex file you will lose your preview.
I have lost my preview as well on certain files and found that it usually is because I had trashed the preferences and forgot to set the scratch to a different disk other than the startup disk.
I have 16 GB of RAm and once in a while I still lose the preview.

FM GUI_UPLOAD gives PC036 "Error when opening the download file".

Dear all
I'm having a problem with a particular PC.
A program which calls FM GUI_UPLOAD gives the error PC036 "Error when opening the download file".
The file we are trying to upload is a text file, with tab delimiter.
If the same user executes the same program from another PCs, it works fine.
If another user executes the program in the "problematic" PC, it gives the error.
So, the problem is PC-related.
I checked SAP GUI Codepage, and was the same as other PCs.
I cheched regional configuration, and was also the same as other PCs.
The operating system is Windows XP, and the SAP GUI version is 7.10, File version 7100.2.7.3077, Build 967944 , Patch level 7.
SAP version is ECC6.
I searched across forums, SAP note, and the web, but I couldn't find anything.
I would be grateful if someone could give me ideas.
Thanks in advance
Jordi

Hello. The user accounts are have same privilegies (like both are "Power users")? Also the file system are the same in both PC NTFS or FAT32 (today i'm find FAT32 in enterprise ) If NTFS may be some Domain politics are not allow to save file correctly, or space are not enough....Try check this first...Regards.
