Error: "File couldn't be opened for writing" with CinemaDNG sequence

Using a Premiere Pro > After Effects workflow with my colorist.
I created a project in Premiere CS6 and used MOV transcodes because Premiere CS6 does not read CinemaDNG sequences. I do not have CC installed on my computer. My colorist, on his computer (we are both using Mavericks), imported the .prproj into AE CS6. We tried to replace MOV files with CinemaDNG sequences, and AE returned this error:
After Effects error: File couldn't be opened for writing: "[file path]". ( 3 :: 0 )
Normally when you replace footage with a CinemaDNG sequence in AE, Adobe Camera Raw pops open so you can make changes before the file is important. I have never seen this error before.
My colorist has CC installed as well as CS6, so we tried that instead.
Colorist opened the Premiere CS6 project in Premiere CC, creating a new Premiere CC project. Replaced MOV files with CinemaDNG sequences within Premiere CC with no error, project plays fine in Premiere CC. Finally! So we imported the new Premiere CC project in AE CC, and all linked CinemaDNG sequences appear as color bars (unlinked footage). When testing to import a CinemaDNG sequence, AE CC returned the same error as AE CS6.
So we tried opening the same CinemaDNG files in Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop CC to see if there was an error with Camera Raw. Both versions of Photoshop open the CinemaDNG files correctly in Camera Raw (version 8.3). So now we have CinemaDNG files functioning properly in Premiere Pro, Photoshop, but... not AE?
Tried replicating this on a second, Mountain Lion computer with both versions of AE, and returned the same issue.
CinemaDNG files from a different source DID open in AE CC and AE CS6 on both computers, which leads me to believe there is some kind of permissions/metadata issue in this particular set of CinemaDNG files I'm using that's causing problems for AE, but NOT Premiere Pro or Photoshop. Anyone experience anything like this?

Error "file couldn't be opened" from icloud

I am trying to open documents from iCloud in pages but it says it can't be opened. I saved it on my macbook and now want to open on my mac and they both have the most up to date version of pages. Is there a way to open a previous version? iCloud doesn't have many options in pages.

Unlike Pages ’09 v4.3 which wrote its documents out as zipped directories with a .pages extension — which Dropbox and Google filesystems understood as a single document — Pages v5(.2) writes out directories that only the OS X Finder helps Pages open as a Package file. These new Pages documents are incompatible with Dropbox and Google, unless they are first manually zipped (right-click and choose compress) to transform the directory structure into a single compressed document.
You can view your iCloud Pages documents in the Finder, but I would not recommend accessing them for edits directly:
Finder > [login directory] > Library > Mobile Documents > com~apple~Pages > Documents
If your local Library folder is not visible, open a Finder window and press command + J — then check Show Library Folder.

"Error opening for writing" error msg.

While installing Shockwave Player 12.1.0.150 I received "Error opening for writing" error message. The file C:\Windows\System32\Adobe\Director\SwDir_1210150.dll is missing.
I uninstalled older versions of it using Add/Delete function of Programs and Features in the Control Panel. My OS is Windows 7 Pro, and default browser is Google Chrome. How/Where to fix this? Thank you in advance.

SMH What is up with this download???? NOW, I used the Slim version, it installed with no problem, and in the SysWOW folder where I found the missing .dll file. However, when I check if it's working and it's not. Checked Chrome's plug-ins and it's not there. This is enough to make a bulldog break his chain.

HT200261 Configurator Error. Apple Configurator could not open your library.The file couldn't be opened because it isn't in the correct format.

I was using configurator without trouble. Unfortunately, my battery died and my computer went down. I plugged my computer in, restarted it and tried to open configurator. Now this is the error I am getting. Apple Configurator could not open your library.The file couldn’t be opened because it isn’t in the correct format. How do I fix this?

Thank you for responding. The number 2 after the file final cut events is temporary so I can copy it to another drive while I am working on this. . i got a new message that reads...

HELP! File already open for writing?

I've got a file that has been Stuffed (using Stuffit) and now I'm trying to unstuff it and/or open it but get the "File is already open with write permission (-49)" error with an "OK". When I click OK, it stops doing what it was doing. But this file has not been opened for months. What do you think happened to this file prior to stuffing it? Could it have been open and renamed while it was still open? Is there a way that I can open this file? This is a file that can be very helpful with the reconstruction of the next year's edition. We're a printing company. Any input would be great.

There are a multitude of possibilities as to how a file might get corrupted. Specifically with Stuffit is that older versions had a file limitation, i.e., about 2GB of the total to be compressed, but the user does not get any warning to this fact. You may want to check the support section of their website. Hopefully, there is an uncompressed backup else where.

Printing from Preview produces error message "The file couldn't be opened".

Hi,
Ever since the upgrade to OS X 10.8, I get the error message "The file couldn't be opened" each time I want to print from Preview. I just have to click "OK" and then everything prints fine, but if anyone knows how to get rid of this message, it would be even better!
I have run "Verify disk permissions" without success.
The system is on an SSD volume whereas my home volume is on an internal HD. But other users with (smaller) accounts residing on the system volume have the same problem.
Each time I open the print dialog, the following message appears in the logs:
com.apple.Preview.TrustedBookmarksService[2159]: Failure to de-serialize bookmark data file.
I removed files related to Preview in ~/Library/Preferences/
There is no *.plist file in ~/Library/Application Support/Preview
Thanks!

Start Pages app
Create a blank document
File > Save or <Command>+S
Select Mac Device and find your user folder or favorite, Desktop (not iCloud)
Error: the file "Untitled.pages" couldn't be opened!?!
Repeat giving the document a different name and it works
Since when do we write error messages with "n't"?
Usually a well written error message offers a suggestion as to what you might do about it?
Since it says opened and I clicked on Save, there is a bug in there somewhere.
All I was trying to do today was copy and paste some text from a website into numbers spreadsheet
Both Edit > Paste options but the text in one cell so I tried to save it as a text file first to try and import the data
Text Edit does not have a text only export format so before loading Terminal and starting vi or emacs, I tried pages. I'll go try XCode's editor or my Windows 7 vm with notepad and openoffice
I miss the old Pages with the Appleworks importer, this one needs more Quality Assurance Testing IMHO

Hi Rd,
Per SAP Note 1911880, this has been identified as a Bug in CR 2011. Since CR 2013 is just a rebranded version of the same tool, the SAP Note should apply to CR 2013 as well.
For CR 2013, the issue has been resolved in FP3. I would suggest you to upgrade to the highest available version for CR 2013 and see if it works.
Another workaround could be to right-click the CR Designer exe > Run as Administrator > Log-in with Admin credentials > try opening the report.

What causes "report could not be opened for writing . . ." message

"This report could not be opened for writing. Any changes must be saved to a new file." The version is CR 2013 SP1. Win 7 Pro. I'm new to CR and can't figure out why I get this error. I've verified all Windows permissions. It's an SAP error message - not a Windows message. Thanks in advance.

Cannot open a downloaded pdf file..."The file couldn't be opened because it isn't in the correct format."

I have had this problem several times lately: I cannot open a downloaded pdf file. The error message reads: "The file couldn't be opened because it isn't in the correct format." But, of course, it is a pdf file.

My MacBook Pro (2.5 Ghz Intel Core i5) is running OS X 10.9.4. Here is what happens when reading an online user manual that I want to save to the Desktop and read later as a PDF file on my iPad or phone. With Safari I will select "Export As PDF" and the file shows up on the desktop. Even after multiple trials, there will be a dialogue box indicating the file cannot be opened. If I check the file info, the size is "zero." Trying to save the file as a pdf using the Print menu yields the same results. I have tried both of these methods using Preview, Adobe Reader, and PDF Pen Pro. This strange behavior also occurred several weeks ago and I finally abandoned the effort. But when the same thing happens twice, it becomes an issue that needs to be resolved.

HT2506 Hello I'm unable to open any pdf's with preview window opens up with message file couldn't be opened because you don't have permission to view it (none of the pdf's have any security thanks if you can assist

Hello this week I'm unable to open any pdf's with preview, when I select to open a window opens up with message "file couldn't be opened because you don't have permission to view it" none of the pdf's have any security thanks if you can assist

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Error: File could not be opened.

The same error occurs when doing the following:
- Trying to export Control Tables
- Trying to export Import Formats
- Trying to export Import Groups
- Trying to export Logic Accounts
- Trying to export Logic Groups
Does anyone please have any suggestions on how to fix this? The odd thing is that these files are actually created and can be opened fine!

Many thanks for your suggestions.
- MS Office Excel 2007 SP3 is installed on the server. The Excel files are created and can be opened manually fine on the server (by going to C:\FDMData\Outbox\ExcelFiles). But FDM raises the above error whenever one clicks on the "Export To Excel" button and does nothing more.
- The admins here have apparently now added the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\Desktop folder (the FDM app server is 64-bit) but it does not appear to have made a difference. Will the FDM service account need privileges to this location?
- Apparently the FDM service account has privileges to the FDMData\Outbox\ExcelFiles location, but I will double check this...

File couldn't be opened - Apple Configurator

I'm getting an error when Configurator runs; "The File Couldn't Be Opened", Configurator then closes itself.
I've attempted to uninstall both via the App Store and App Zapper and the restarted, while the offending dialogue is up I am unable to access any other functions in Configurator.
Any ideas?

I have looked and tried to do the other suggestions on this site. They all say to go to the ~/Library/Containers folder. I do not have a containers folder.
