Error message while trying to open mpeg file

Hello,
I'm new to the apple discussions, but not new to the Apple family. I recently downloaded a quicktime and got the following message:
Error opening movie
The movie could not be opened.
Its a file from a bittorrent site.
Any help in opening this would be much appreciated. I really want to see Elvis Costello on Letterman!!!
Thanks,
smfmac

The movie could not be opened.If the problem file is QT and has an MPEG extension, then I assume it is supposed to contain an MPEG-2 muxed data. Therefor the first question is whether or not you have the Apple QT MPEG-2 component installed on your computer. (I.e., the QT player does not support MPEG-2 content without this component and even with it only supports limited audio formats.) If you do have the component installed, does the file open in MPEG based applications like VLC or MPEG Streamclip? If not, then it is possible the torrent download is corrupt. If the file does open in other applications, check the stream data to determine if the audio and video compression formats are QT compatible.

Ram,
The error was coming fro OAM which is the authentication system for BeehiveOnline. I suspect but cannot confirm that you have a cookie in the browser that has a different identity from the one you need - maybe you have logged into another OAM OIDin another system.
If you clear cache in your browser or use a different one I think the problem will go away. If you are unsure how to clear cookies you could go to one of the websites like otn.oracle.com and log out of your account - that will flush out the authentication cookies.

Error message when trying to open AI file

When I double click an AI file to open it, I get this message: "Can't open the illustration. There is not enough room for the window, increase document area and try again". This error started happening about a week or two ago. Although it is inconvenient to have to go to File>Open and then locate the file to open it since I am used to doing it the other way at least it is a way to open the AI file. I just discoved that if I double click a graphic in a Adobe Acrobat Pro using the Edit Object I get the same error message. This is a problem.
I have checked previous discussions about this and tried things like unchecking the "open as tab" option in the preferences but that does not work.
I would appreciate any other suggestions since this is very annoying.
Thanks,

"I'll add an update to this problem using a Windows 7 Toshiba laptop running CS6 - I began to recieve the same message and Illustrator would resize itself to 1"h x 5"w box in the upper left of my screen. Illustrator itself would be hidden behind the error dialogue box.
This would happen when I'd select an Illustrator file in Windows Explorer. The first workaround was to maximize Illustrator and open the file through the Illustrator File>Open dialogue. This always worked.
The final fix was to manually resized illustrator to about 1/3 screen size and try to open the file again in Windows Explorer. Finally the files would open from Windows Explorer. Keep reading.
However, each time I opened a file Illustrator would do a little hula dance and resize a good bit smaller than what I'd manually set it to. It took about 4 resizes and 4 opening of files = each time resizing the illustrator window larger until it actually occupied the whole screen. It's working normally now."
Also, what happens if you open Illustrator and use File > Open?

Error message when trying to open iTunes files.

I just began having the problem of an error message appearing...
... if I double-click on an iTunes audio file mp3, m4a, etc. or even drag the file directly on to the iTunes application icon.
I did a rebuild of LaunchServices and rebooted but the message still will appear unless the file is opened from an iTunes playlist.
Yet the file plays in iTunes... but the error message is still there and has to be dismissed.
Whereas if I open the same file(s) via the playlist... I get no error message and the file(s) play fine.
Also if I drag the files on to QuickTime 10.0 they play fine without displaying an error message.
Though the error message indicates it's a link problem... from the above... I don't see how it can possibly be since even dragging an audio file directly on to the iTunes application icon still results in the error message appearing.
I only discovered this today when downloading Piezo and I attempted to open the m4a files it saved. So I then tried to open other iTunes files in Finder windows rather than the iTunes playlist window and had the error message appear again.
I don't want to have to add every audio file to an iTunes playlist in order to open it without the error message so can someone please suggest a fix?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Well I solved my problem.
What still doesn't make sense though is that dragging iTune audio files directly on to the iTunes application icon gave me the error message... which is why I originally discounted it as being a potential link problem. If I had been able to get files to open normally (i.e. without an error message) I would have known it was a simple link problem. Strange.
Anyway... relinking my folder of audio files did the trick.
If you don't already know how here are the steps...
iTunes > Preferences > Advanced > click on the "Change" button and browse to the folder that contains all of your iTunes audio files... that's it.

Multiple error messages while trying to open iTunes

Downloaded the latest upgrade (much to my chagrin) and then started getting error messages when I tried to open iTunes. First was:
"iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes." So I did. Then I got this message:
"Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."
So I uninstalled iTunes and tried to install. Same message! SO I did a system restore and still no go! Except I now get two more messages:
"Runtime Error! R6034 An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly. Please contact the application's support team for more information." AND "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7"
Help!!!!!

Get error message when trying to open a file in Adobe Indesign

Hi,
I would appreciate some help here.
Just installed ID, and want to get started. When I try to open any file (pdf. jpg etc) I get the following message:
"Can´t open file. It might be that Adobe ID don´t support the file format, that the plug-in-module that supports the file format are missing, or that the file is open in another program".
I have tried ID on both my PC and Mac - the same error message is shown on both computers. It must be said that I am normaly as PS and AI user, and have not tried ID before. Maybe it is an easy solution to the problem, thus Adobe chat line could not help me.
I appreciate any help you can offer!

Receive error message when trying to open .rtf files.

I have .rtf files I am trying to open for school and cannot view them in TextEdit, Pages, Word for Mac, TextWringler, or Openoffice.org. I can open the original file but when I edit them I get this error when I try and open them:
"The document 'xxx.rtf' could not be opened. The file isn't in the correct format."
In smaller text below it:
"The file might be corrupted, truncated, or in an unexpected format."
(To clarify, 'xxx' is not ****. I replaced the actual file name with 'xxx' for this post.... just incase you were wondering)
I have also changed the extension to .txt and .doc and the best outcome I get is format code.
Any help?

Cannot open \\psf\home\some_file error message when trying to open some file located on Mac hard drive

I have trio of 27 inch iMacs in my office and we all use Parallels 8 to develop content in Framemaker. We have two 3 tb LaCie D2 Network 2 NAS' drives that we need to move our content to one and do backups to the other. The backups from the iMacs are working just fine (everything is MacOS, of course it works). The error in the title is what I am getting after trying to access the NAS from windows running in Parallels 8.
Why do I want to do this? Our main network server is 500 miles away and so is the DNS server, so when that connectivity is lost I can't access my work locally (even though I can see file server (a Mac pro running Ubuntu or some such OS (honest, I didn't do it!!)).
Why?? I just want to have a a little control over my data and some resonable expectation that someone is planning for emergencies by having a robust strategy to file protection (I don't right now, and I can't risk my hard earned work).
All my workstations connect to a gigabit switch as do the LaCies.
Both LaCies are initialized as HFS+.
I know I'm missing something, I whish I knew what it is ( then the solution is easy!!)
Ideas?

I think it's the content of the include that is causing your
troubles. Somehow you created a menu using Fireworks(?) or
Dreamweaver(?) and Contribute indicates javascripterrors, not php
errors...
Maybe its better, in this case, constructing a menu that
contains only an unordered list (check out project7 menus, or stu
nichols css site for more examples). Updating the menu will be
simpeler and also with less chance of errors by users. You can open
such a file without any troubles in Contribute.

Error Message while trying to open media manager

When I try to open the media manager on the Blackberry Desktop Manager for my Storm, a window opens with the following:
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
When I click OK, another window opens up with:

Does anyone know what is happening here?
Thanks.

you need a microsd card and not a sd card. the microsd card is 1/4 size of the SDcard.
after the memory card has been formatted, you can then move the pictures from the internal memory of the Blackberry to the memory card.
And then with a card reader or the blackberry, access your memory card with Windows Explorer.

Repair iTunes Security Permissions
Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Securitytab and click Advanced. Use the Change Permissions... button grant to your account (or the Users group) and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to Replace permissions entries... which will repair permissions throughout the library. When complete switch to the General tab, click in the Read-only check box to clear it, then click Apply.
If you don't have the option to change the permissions then use the Owner tab and Edit... button to take ownership from an account with administrator privileges. Tick the option to Replace owner on subcontainers and objects.
Repeat with the media folder if it isn't stored inside the main iTunes folder.
If you've brought over the library from another computer you may also want to remove any "mystery" identities (S<string of dashes & digts>) that have come over from the old computer...

Try to disable your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes it work.
You may need to delete the temp folder (%TEMP%) to remove the old files.

Error message when trying to open windows7 via vmwarefusion.

error message when trying to open windows7 via vmwarefusion.;
Unable to open file "/Users/geraldw/Documents/Virtual Machines.localized/Windows 7.vmwarevm/Windows 7-000016.vmdk": The system cannot find the file specified.
I've completely uninstalled vmaware fusion. and would like to install a new copy of windows7 plus my vmware fusion3.0 that I have on a disk. I wonder if windows7 is still buried in my mac hard drive somewhere? I can see some windows files on my mac but they appear a gray and can not be accessed. Could there be a problem installing a new copy of windows through boot camp? It seems to do so wouldn't be a clean install as I suspect that windows 7 is still on the drive somewhere. I've tried to follow the path the file I listed above, but nothing comes up. I'm almost certain it was accidentally deleted completely from the hard drive as it was quarantined while using Clam X anti-virus. I'm a relatively new mac user and long time PC user, but a computer genius I am not. I don't want to have to reformat the whole mac machine and lose my current files, etc.
I've uninstalled vmare completely and reinstalled, it, but the problem persists.
Any help?

You will probably get a better response asking this question in VMWare's forums for Fusion.
Best of luck.

Welcome to apple discussions. I see this is your first post.
Any chance there are multiple users on your mac w/ separate accounts each? And are you working from the Admin account on this mac?
