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.

    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?

    I later discovered the file was damaged. Went back to a backup copy and things were fine. Good think we have backups.

  • Iweb installed on a new computer but i have this error message: Can't open file "~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2."

    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..."

    I use Keynote almost every for work. Recently I got this message "Can’t open file [insert file name]". I thought if I update to Lion and then got Keynote '09 I would fix the problem. Unfortunately it did nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Trevor26,

  • 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!

    All 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.

    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.

  • Error message "Can't open the illustration." - HELP

    I work for a small company in the product development area and we use AI every day, all day. We work on PCs (windows 7) in AI CS6 design standard.
    About a week and a half ago, I got the error message "Can't open the illustration." I then proceeded to recreate my file that was lost, once saved and closed, the same error message popped up after trying to reopen. The file was recreated by another person, and the same error message occurred. This has now happened to 5 of my files and a handful of files created by coworkers.
    The error seems to be completely random, as we have been able to create other files without a glitch. The other odd thing, is that the one person who uses a mac in our creative department was able to open our 'lost' files as single pages on her AI CS4.
    Please help!
    Thank you.

    We have tried both saving the files on our company server and on our individual desktops - neither of which will open the files.
    Fonts are ok - they are all created and saved in CS6.
    Printers, I believe are all correctly set up.
    We tried a complete reinstall on one PC - still running into the same random files ending up 'lost' with the same error message.
    Originally, the cs6 design standards (6 licenses total) were loaded to the server/shared drive and then downloaded onto each PC from there - we believe this may have something to do with the corruption, but this problem has just begun within the last month and the programs were all downloaded over 6 months ago.

  • When I try to open iweb I get the following message: Can't open file "~/Sites/NAVIGATOR/index.html." How do I fix this? Using 10.6.3 soon to be 10.6.6 and then Lion.

    When I try to open iweb I get the following message: Can’t open file “~/Sites/NAVIGATOR/index.html.” How do I fix this? Using 10.6.3 soon to be 10.6.6 and then Lion. I have never opened the product before and have had it on the computer since new.

    Go into your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and see if there's a file titled Domain.sites.  If there is double click on it and see if iWeb opens.
    If there is no Domain file there do the following:
    delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
    go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
    Click to view full size
    launch iWeb and try again.

    Hi!
    I encountered a problem a few weeks ago which is a bit like yours. In my case my Apple ID stopped working after I upgraded to Mountain Lion. I finally found out it was because of the fact that my Apple ID has in fact been an alias within my much older MobileMe/iCloud account. And they weren't able to merge or reset the account at first. It took me a lot of mails and a few calls to get them to resetting the account and changing my Apple ID (for the Apple Store, iTunes, etc.) to a different, non-iCloud related email adress.
    Anyway, maybe you can call the Apple Support and kindly ask them to reset the password for this ominous @me.com account so you can finally start using it.
    Did you try logging into iCloud using your adress with the appendix @me.com because not everybody has got the @icloud.com ending yet. Technically it's no problem to create a new iCloud account. I can understand though that you'd like to get "your name" back .

  • 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,

  • Error message: Can't open the illustration. The illustration contains an illegal or misplaced operator.

    Hi,
    I was working on an Illustrator file and saving as I went. It all seemed to be working properly. When I was finished I saved it one last time and then also saved a PDF of the file. I closed the program momentarily while I typed an email that I wanted to attach the PDF to and then tried to open the Illustrator and the PDF one last time to check everything was done correctly. The Illustrator file came up with this message: Can't open the illustration. The illustration contains an illegal or misplaced operator.  The PDF also didn't work. Any ideas what's going on here? I would greatly appreciate any help! Thanks!

    Simply get used to the thought that the file may be unrecoverable. you can try placing it into a new document or rasterize it in PS, but that pretty much may be the extent of what you can do. And in the future:

  • PDF Generation Error Message:Couldn't open File while generating PDF from a Frame (7.2 Version) book

    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.
