Error message "Cant open illustration" in Illustrator CC 2014 on Win 7 PC

Need urgent help to recover or open file, please.

George,
One thing often tried first is to create a new document and File>Place the corrupted one to see how much may be rescued that way (remember to tick Paste remembers Layers in the Layer palette flyout/dropdown first, and to untick it afterwards).
Here are some websites where you can see whether it can rescue the file, and if it can, you may pay for a subscription to have it done,

http://www.illustrator.fixtoolbox.com/
As far as I remember, the first one is for Win and the one is for Mac, while the third one should be for both.
Here are a few pages about struggling with it yourself:

  • Error message when opening CS3 InDesign & Illustrator

    Getting error message: The procedure entry point _CFBundleCopyForFileData could not be located in the dynamic link library CoreFoundation.dll. Saw a reference to this which said to open the Corefoundation.dll file and follow instructions. Found 4 instances of the CoreFoundation.dll files on computer but could not open them. How do I get rid of this error message? The programs will open but have to click "ok" four time to get rid of the message.

    My recollection is this is a Suitcase error. There was a thread about it here a few months ago, I believe, and I think an update to Suitcase fixed it.

    Some have found that the page may turn up blank to start with, so it may be necessary to reload the page.
    Others have found that it may depend on browser. Specifically, a switch from Safari has solved it in one case.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I have seen previous versions mentioned in a pop up message before on iCloud.com, but I'm not really sure at all how it would help, as I couldn't get it to do anything.
    The best advice I have at this time is to back up your work on your iOS device by regularly saving it to iTunes, if anything goes wrong you can then either load it into the numbers app again on the device or recover it via iTunes on your computer.
    My syncs are immediate, I never get chance to see if it works in the background, sorry.

    ls -l /var/run/lighttpd/
    And how are you spawning the php instances? I don't see that in the daemons array anywhere.
    EDIT: It looks like the info in that page is no longer using pre-spawned instances, but lighttpd adaptive-spawn. The documentation has been made inconsistent it looks like.
    You will note that with pre-spawned information, the config looks different[1].
    You need to do one or the other, not both (eg. choose adaptive-spawn, or pre-spawn..not both).

    Error Message when open iTunes -42032. What can I do?

    Try 2 solutions: 1.  Press both Ctrl and Shift keys then double click on ITunes.  Hold keys down until a box appears on screen indicating ITunes is starting in "safe mode'.  left click on 'continue" and ITunes will run without closing.
    2;  Start ITunes normally, then  after loading, choose "Match" and then touch "stop" beforre step 3 , Uploading songs...",  runs for more than a few seconds.  The code problems are in Match;  the uploading function in Match.  ITunes won't crash if you stop Match soon enough!

  • 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?

    Steve,
    Not to sure what type AVI files they are, the storage devise is at present offshore on a job.
    Can you clarify, if you edit/import video footage with adobe premiere 10 and then create a file, the file or the original raw footage is not stored on computer for re-use, if it is stored, is it stored in the original format.
    Also please find details of storage devise,

  • Error message when opening Photoshop CC

    For the last month, I've been getting an error message when opening Photoshop CC that says:

  • I had to reinstall CS4 and now have error messages when opening bridge and photoshop

    The error message is "The specified module could not be found. C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Version Cue CS4\Client\4.0.1\Version Cue.DLL

    I tried what you suggested and it did not help.  whenever I try to open either photoshop or bridge, I get a message saying that there was a problem loading scripts the last time that Bridge was open and do I want to try loading them again?  If I click yes, I get that same error message that I reported in my original question and photoshop/bridge will immediately close.  If I click no, photoshop and bridge will open but it will not let me open a raw format document.  It seems like Adobe Camera Raw is not being recognized.   One of the updates I downloaded was an update to Adobe Camera Raw so the functionality is there, it just can't be accessed.  do you think I should try to uninstall and re-install Photoshop again?
