Error opening pdf and file can't be found,why

I received an attachment in my BT emails and opened it,then printed it.When I tried to find it so I could copy it to my Outlook emails it had disappeared. Adobe said there had been an error opening it and the file could not be found.What happened and why?

I described what had happened when I tried to view a pdf, and said that when I found the pdf and tried to open it again, all I had was a message telling me there had been “an error” and as a result the file could not be found. I don’t know if it was hidden or deleted and asked “why did it happen”
If Adobe does not give me any more information than that, how am I supposed to give any more information?
It was the first time I had used the Adobe reader, and I was not expecting someone to be so terse in their reply to my query.  As the song says, “Everybody’s  got to learn some-time.” It would be easier if the ones who DO know could remember the time when they didn’t know.
To avoid further embarrassment, I will withdraw and not attempt to use your forum again.

  • Songs w/exclamation marks that won't play "file can't be found" Why??

    I am getting inundated with more and more songs daily, with exclamation marks beside them, stating "the original file can't be located". It asks if I want to recover the file,I answer yes, but nothing seems to happen! I am a DJ and rely heavily on iTunes and will be extremely disabling for me if I can't get this figured out. Unfortunately, I am not a computer whiz, and would really appreciate all help I could get. I have weddings scheduled for this coming week end and really don't know what to do!
    THANK YOU

    It's lengthy, but not too complicated. When you tell it that you want to restore, make sure to show it where to look to find the file. Double click the file and move on to the next exclamation file. One after another, Takes time, but can be fixed. Another problem that continues to make iTunes difficult and lame.

  • I'm getting Could not initialize the application's security component, when opening Firefox and I can't bookmark anymore, why?

    Here is the message I get when I open Firefox;
    Could not initialize the application's security component. The most
    likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile
    directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write
    restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is
    recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem. If you
    continue to use this session, you might see incorrect application
    behaviour when accessing security features. Plus I can't bookmark anymore.

    Rename secmod.db (secmod.db.old) in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] in case there is a problem with the file.
    You may have to rename cert8.db (cert8.db.old) as well.<br />
    Firefox will create new files.

  • I have just downloaded all of my music into the new itune's however all of my music has an "!" buy it and I get an error saying "original file can not be found". How do I get my music back?

    I have just downloaded all of my music into the new itues, however; all of my music has an "!" but it and I get an error that says " original file can not be found".
    How do I get my music back?

    Ok, I had a glitch, forced to restart, and lost my train of thought.
    Reinstalling iTunes should fix the major issue that might have gone wrong, perhaps your explaination points will disappear and everything will be peachy again.
    But if they don't, you can open the XML file in iTunes Folder using a Text edit program to see what the common pathname is to the iTunes Music folder or where your content is located.
    If you moved the itunes folder, it needs to go back.
    I can't  download iTunes to my Vista virtual machine to test it out right now because iTunes is down, so I can't verify the pathname, perhaps your issue and the iTunes being down are related somehow?
    You don't want to import all your music again, but it's a option, but you lose all your playlists, that's what I'm trying to recover.
    If oyu don't have a whole lot of playlists, then simply select all the explaimation point music and delete, select File from the menu and import your itunes folder again.

  • Original files can't be found.

    I transferred my Itunes program/library to an external hard drive to save space on my computer. Now when I open iTunes it tells me I have 100 errors because the original files can't be found. What happened and what do I do about it? Any suggestions?

    How did you move it to the external drive? Did you drag & drop your iTunes folder (not just the iTunes Music folder you find inside the iTunes folder) to the external drive and copy the entire thing? Which is the way you should do it.

  • Help please I can not openening because: Error opening the document,  Acrobat can not open the file while printing another document

    Help, I ca not opening the file, beacause the mac says Error opening the document, Acrobat can not open the while printing another document

    Thank you very much for your replies Taggert_77 & swmtgoet_x :D
    Taggert77_: I have never used NetBeans. I only installed it in the bundle as I had read on another post that somehow installing the bundle magically helped another user with the same problem (he didn't know why it worked after that either).
    Before XP SP3 I was able to execute .jar file through cmd prompt. Now I am not.
    This file is executable, grab it and you will see. Here is a screen shot (program in front is FlashFXP, behind is the cmd prompt and what should happen):http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/53273b4ddf.jpg
    swmtgoetx_: I only did the other cmd's to try to make it spit out something, anything lol :D
    The proper cmd is simply: java -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar
    I did give your cmd a try, and it produced nothing :( (just like the other correct cmds)
    java -client -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar soht.properties
    Thank you again...the mystery remains
    PS. If you do a search for this you'll find an amazing amount of XP SP3 users with the same problem and no solution posted that I could find except one chap that did the unistall install order that I did above).

  • Opening PDF and PPT files without using BuddyApi

    Hi, please excuse my newness.
    I'm wanting to open pdf and ppt files through Director (I'm using 11.5) but I'm struggling with finding the right code to make it work. I saw that a lot of people are recommending Buddy Api. However I'm cheap and was hoping that there would be a way to open files without having to resort to using/paying for this xtra. Is there a reason why opening files in Director seems to be such a hassle?
    Thanks in advance.

    I'll also add that from my understanding, an unregistered version of Buddy API can be used in commercial applications.
    Buddy API is a great Xtra and if you're going to be developing applications with Director, this Xtra will be a valuable purchase. Buddy Xtra is recommended a lot in the Director forums for a good reason.

  • I recently purchased an Iphone 6plus and I am receiving pdf attachments that are shown as winmail.dat attachments on the phone. When I check e-mail via  my macbook pro the attachment is a pdf and I can open it. Why is this happening?

    I recently purchased an Iphone 6plus and I am receiving pdf attachments that are shown as winmail.dat attachments on the iphone. When I check the same e-mail on my macbook pro the attachment is a pdf and I can open it. Why is this happening?

    I had this problem too after i upgdatd to OS X Mavericks... only the songs on my iphone 5s that i purchased from itunes would play.
    i read something about it being a syncing issue. when you plug your phone into your computer with the usb cable, the person said to switch from automatic syncing of itunes to the "manual" option. mine was already set to manual so i wasn't sure anything would work. BUT, when i plugged my phone into my computer, it started to sync all of my music on my phone again (top of itunes bar where song playing/time is listed said "now syncing 123/534 songs to x's iphone"). once that was completed, i checked the music app on my iphone and everything was back to normal!
    so, i would suggest setting your music syncing settings to manual if you haven't tried that yet!
    hope this helps!

  • I'm running iTunes 10.5 on my Macbook Pro and software 4.1 on my 2g iPod touch and having problems getting photo's to sync. Same error iPod can't be synced req'd file can't be found. Tried deleting the photo cache, restoring the iPod etc but to no avail.

    I'm running iTunes 10.5 on my Macbook Pro and software 4.1 on my 2g iPod touch and having problems getting photo's to sync. Same error, "iPod can't be synced req'd file can't be found". Tried deleting the photo cache, restoring the iPod etc but to no avail.

    Try here:
    iTunes: Unable to sync photos
    Usually deleting the iPod Photo Cache Folder works. Note that if you sync via the folder method, make sure you dlete all the ifolders since :
    The iPod Photo Cache stores the photos that are optimized for display on your iPod, iPad, or iPhone. The location of this folder depends on the syncing options you select. In iTunes, if you change the selection in the “Sync Photos From” pop-up menu, a new iPod Photo Cache folder will be created (and the previous folder will remain).

  • Firefox crashes and when attempting to launch after the crash it won't and throw and error msg that js.3250 can't be found- but same file is in Mozilla directory. I must then download new 3.6.8 and lose all tabs.

    # Question
    Firefox crashes and when attempting to launch after the crash it won't launch; throwing an error msg that " js.3250 can't be found" - but same file is in Mozilla directory.
    I must then download new 3.6.8 and lose all tabs and history.

    I have a similar problem. Recently my FF8 has been crashing a lot. It regularly locks up an entire core of my PC and often just shuts down. It has just done it a moment ago and when it started back up it did the whole "this is embarrassing" thing and asked me if I wanted to reload my tabs. I deselected the one that I was trying to view as I suspected that it may have been the cause (unlikely; it was node4.co.uk) but anyway, let's skip it just in case. Click on the button to restore and up pops my homepage only. So all of my other tabs, which I was using for work incidentally, are gone.
    This is not the first time this has happened on FF8. It happened a lot recently on FF6 I think it was (so hard to keep track now, Mozilla) and I switched to Chrome as a result, but it turns out that it crashes even more than FF6 did. FF7 was a vast improvement but FF8 is so unstable/unpredictable for me at the moment that I think I'd rather use IE9 than this. It's driving me mental, clearly! I wish I could kill the process manually and have it retry restoring tabs. Hey, there's an idea Mozilla; give us a menu item that allows us to restore the session to how it started to try again or at the very least get a list of the pages we were looking at. They don't show up in Recently Closed Windows and the Restore Previous Session is greyed out too. Gah! Help!

  • Since I have connected my iPad with the MacBook through ICloud I have problems in Preview of opening PDF- and JPG-files. Does anyone have a solution for this?

    Since I have connected my iPad with the MacBook through ICloud I have problems in Preview of opening PDF- and JPG-files. Does anyone have a solution for this?

    I'm not sure I understand the connection between iCloud and this problem.  Is it simply a problem of coincidental timing (ie, the problem happened after you set up iCloud)?  If so, there's almost certainly no connection between these two events.
    Where are you getting the files you're trying to open, and what specifically happens when you try to open them?

    Never mind I fixed it. Just in case anyone else has this problem, after you reinstall iTunes you have to delete all your old music, and if you have iTunes match all the songs you have saved on itunes match will display and you just have to download them to your Macbook.
