Error message -10660 when opening files
I've just bought a MacBook Pro 17, and repeatedly (but not every time) when I try to open a document, I'm getting an error message saying "The operation could not be completed. An unexpected error occurred (error code -10660). I have checked Get Info on the document and it's set to open with the correct application. And it does... if the application is open. I'm getting the error code only when the application is closed. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Using Keynote 3.0.x I try to open a keynote file created a year ago and when I try to open the "Opening" dialog comes up, you see the progress bar, and then, I get the error message, "Can’t open file" followed by the file name. Any recourse?

hope its a mandatory feature as laptop and mobile interface are simple task nowadays in mobile...
pls reply me..its very urgent...thanku..You could try Videora (http://www.videora.com/) - the downside here is that they have specific versions for specific phones, and sometimes it will makea file that plays perfectly in the desired phone but can't be shared to other models. The don't show a version for the N79, but try the N96 one because the N96 is the most similar OS to yours that they offer.

Hi,
I'm trying to convert a book into PDF and I get the error message Couldn't open a file (... <filename>.fm) and the unavailable Fonts dialog box also appears. The tricky thing is I've converted the same book into PDF just a couple of days ago. Now when I tried to do it again, I get the above mentioned error message. I tried unselecting the File > Prefrences > General > Remember Missing Fonts checkbox too. However, it didn't help in generating the PDF. I will be thankful if anyone suggests a suitable workaround for this issue. Thanks in advance.Usually, deselecting Remember missing fonts works.
The missing fonts message displays when you or FrameMaker opens the file. The workaround is to open all the files in the book, or at least those with the "missing" font, clearing the message for each file. Now print the book to PDF, while keeping the files open. This usually works because you have already cleared any missing fonts messages. -
Error message Could not open file....on application server
Hi Experts,
we are using 3.1 production server which has four application servers, after harware upgrdation we are facing connectivity problem with datastage.
daily the infospkoes and abap programs are faling with the message "Could not open file........on application server".
when we trigger manually on one server then it gets success, means we are facing problem with other 3 appliction servers. we do not know how to go about this issue.Hi,
This is error RSBO214 and can be due to upper/lower case letters within your destination path.
Maybe you have changed the path in transaction SE16?
In case you change the destination manually, you have to make sure that that the directory exists and that the authorizations are set up correctly for the extraction user.
Rgds,

I have just installed ilife on my new computer from my disk. I have several backups of my webpage from my old computer. Everything would be great if I could just run the program. When I click the icon for iWeb I get the following message: Can’t open file “~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2.”
Somebody please help! I desperately need to update my website.In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

Keynote error message: "Can't open file..."

ERROR MESSAGE Can't open file in DW8
After downloading Dreamweaver 8 trial version.
Download was sucessful. Installation was successful. I opened the
program to proceed to build a webpage. I was able to open a HTML
file. and I was UNABLE to open any image file... I attempt to open
jpg file... I get error message saying Dreamweaver can't open jpg
file Please open HTML, XML or other compatible files. When I
attempted to open a gif file ... another error message same but for
gif in place of jpg. I checked the other programs and other
programs did not have the same problem. I was able to open file
from Internet Explorer or WS FTP. but NOT in Dreamweaver. IT is the
only program that I am not able to open ANY of the image files. I
am not able to continue to evaluate this version before deciding
whether it is what I would like to order. I have heard many good
things about it so I wanted to give it a try but no... I did not
get a good start. I need advise what to do about it. Thank you. A
quick reply will be greatly appreciated.Are you trying to open a .jpg file directly in Dreamweaver?
Or are you
trying to insert an image into your page?
Dreamweaver is not an image editor so the former would not
work.

Error message: "Can't open file "[File path, file name].key"
If I attempt to open any Keynote files, I now get this error message.
"Can't open file "[File path: file name].key"
To clarify, the text in the square brackets above would be the file path and then the file name.
The file then will appear on the screen, but is unresponsive to any clicks or menu commands.
The files will open successfully on other Macs, so they aren't corrupt.
Also - I've just checked, and opening Keynote and trying to create a new presentation leads to the same problem: All screen menus / buttons are dead - all I can do is drag the window around the screen.
I've tried to reinstall Keynote, but this hasn't resolved the problem.
Is there some corrupt preference file (or similar) that I need to get rid of? Is there an easy way to do a complete uninstall of Keynote so I can try another install? Or is this a symptom of something else?
All ideas gratefully appreciated!
Message was edited by: Brendan DonlonAll the issues I describe in my questions around this time re: Keynote were actually symptoms of a soon-to-die laptop. The Hard Disc was corrupting, and Keynote was the first application to be affected.

Photoshop CS4 error since Mavericks when open file from Server: "file is empty"
Since I upgraded to Mavericks I can't open files directly from a Server (smb://..), it says "file is empty". When I copy the PSD file to my local drive I can open it though. I tried already to remove the server and reconnect. I'm using the CS4. Any idea how to fix that?
My solution from another thread:-
Hello - I recently upgraded to Mavericks and have experienced a number of problems, one of which matches yours, and after some experimentation found a solution.
Like you, whenever I tried to open a file held on the server in any Adobe software, I would get an error that the file is empty. However, if I copied the file to my desktop, it would open without issue. i then noticed that the server name, which has a space in it, had %20 instead of a space, which drew me to the conclusion that Mavericks was reading the server incorrectly. I ejected the mounted server icons, and then click 'Go', 'Connect to Server', and reconnected. The server reconnected (and this time that space was restored) and I could open all of my files without issue.
Hope this helps -
Error message (13013) when opening iTunes
Can anyone help with this enquiry. I amm trying to open iTunes but the following error message pops up when I do this: "the iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (13013)". I have been able to unistall & reinstall iTunes but am unable to open it. Help please.
A couple of things to try.
Try deleting "iTunes Library Genius.itdb" from your iTunes folder.
If that doesn't work, try rebuilding your library.
With iTunes closed, drag iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Library.xml out of you iTunes folder to your desktop.
Then try opening iTunes, if iTunes opens, you will have an empty library, then you can import iTunes Library.xml.
There are instructions here:

Why does this error message appear when opening Ffox?
ent returned failure code: 0x80520015 (NS_ERROR_FILE_ACCESS_DENIED) [nsIFileInputStream.init]" nsresult: "0x80520015 (NS_ERROR_FILE_ACCESS_DENIED)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://xdmdownloadmgr/content/overlay.js :: anonymous :: line 110" data: no]
This just started to happen today! Ffox does not open until i click "OK" in box w/error message listed above. This box appears at top left of desktop. A 2-step process that is aggravating.yup happens on all of the Apple Discussion from my testing.
I think it has to do with the WWDC Apple site redesign. Notice how there are the new grey buttons at the top? But when you go to the Login page you see the old purple and white (which I prefer, but that's another topic). I think that the login page(s?) haven't been updated and that's causing problems. -
Error message that - cannot open file
I'm getting an error message that says I cannot open a file because it was saved with a newer version of Adobe InDesign CC... I thought I've installed all possible updates - can anyone offer some insight as to what the problem is? Thanks!
Hi,
New release of InDesign CC is not an update of older InDesign. It can coexist with older InDesign CC. It would be available in creative cloud app as a separate installer named InDesign CC (2014).

Error message 0xB3F1A01C when opening printer
I add the error message 0x83C00009. But I was able to remove the cartridge and now it changed to 0xB3F1A01C A google search doesn't give any results. The power button continuously flash. The inside of the printer doesn't make anything move, it's like dead. What does this error message means?
Hi davidfromatlantic beach,
Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like you may need to uninstall iTunes and other components. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.
