Error The File "Print.ai" is in an unkown format and cannot be opened adobe Ilustrator 5.5

I am getting an error The File "Print.ai" is in an unkown format and cannot be opened adobe Ilustrator 5.5 on Mac OX 10.10.2 but was also the same in Mac Mavericks. any thoughts?

d,
In addition to what Larry said, there is a number of levels you can try for general issues, described in the following list. 1) and 2) are the easy ones, 3) is the basic preference file (irreversible procedure), 4) is the whole preferences folder (reversible and more thorough, needed for some issues), 6) is the full ultimate solution, 5) can be skipped in this case.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media, see below. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

I get error message " The file "Print.ai"is in an unknown format and cannot be opened"

I receive that message when I try to open a new document. My others such as Photoshop and In Design are fine as far as I can tell.
I'm using CS4 on Windows 7.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can try this:
Place the .ai file into InDesign then exported it as an .eps file and then open it on Illustrator.

The file '/foo.aspx' has not been pre-compiled, and cannot be requested

Hi All
I am using odp .net to access oracle data. I have also added oracle.dataaccess in my asp .net references. Everything works fine in my development and when I run the code through debugger. However, when I deploy the project in IIS, it gave me following error...
"The file '/foo.aspx' has not been pre-compiled, and cannot be requested
This is pretty generic error and I found out this is related to .Net assemblies.
By further investigation, I found that oracle.dataacess.dll is not present in the bin directory of a deployed web site. I am not sure why .net is dropping that dll in the deployment wizard.
Did anyone encounter this problem before?
I got a workaround for now that manually copting dll into the bin directory of deplyed web site. However, I am looking for more robust and technical answer..
The strange thing is I have been deploying the web site the same way for last 8 months and never encountered this problem.
thanks a lot..

If you add a reference to Oracle.DataAccess at design time it will be added as an assembly definition to web.config. Then you don't need a copy in your bin dir and it will be found in the GAC.

Unable to open .eps file "unknown format and cannot be opened" ?

A client sent me an .eps file (logo). I tried opening it in Illustrator AND photoshop (just to see if it was saved in one vs the other program) - however to no avail.
Illustrator gives me a message "unknown format and cannot be opened"
Photoshop gives me a message "photoshop was unable to parse the postscript".
I'm using Adobe CS4, and I've never seen this message before—would love to know what this means and how to resolve?
File attached if anyone is able to open / fix it?
Thanks kindly,
Chemol

Thanks for the advice Scott - does compression improve the .eps? Is it
silly for me to ask them to compress it since the file is only 766 KB
(that's how big the attachment is in my email - though I am unable to open
it)?
My friend is able to open it on his end - however the 3rd person (client) is
the one who sent it, and I have already requested a different version - no
response from them yet. Unfortunately what the company "has" is what he
will likely give to me again (ie: same file / unable to open). So ... I am
curious about how I can resolve this issue on my end - if possible?
Do you know what the AI and Photoshop error messages mean? Could the issue
be a mac vs PC concern? Or is it a corrupt file? Could it be a software
version issue (old vs new) ... or Quark incompatibility?
.... just guessing at this point....Any insight as to what different
scenarios may apply in this situation would be greatly appreciated ..thank
you.

CS6 on Mac says .eps file is an unknown format and cannot be opened

Trying to open a logo sent by a client an PS, AI, and ID have all given me an error saying that .eps is an invalid format. It's the only logo file available from the client, so my options are limited. First time I've had an issue with this ever, so not entirely sure what troubleshooting steps to go through. I've tried opening it in CS5 as well and I've tried changing the file extension to make it recognizable.

Create a new file in Illustrator and then place the EPS in it (embedded). Maybe works.

Cannot "print" a window as pdf then read it in Adobe Reader; Adobe says the file is damaged and cannot be opened.

Running Firefox 4.0 on an Intel Mac OS 10.5.8. Same problem with Firefox 3.6.16. You can save a Firefox window as a pdf file by using the File dropdown menu and selecting Print. Under Print, you can select PDF, then Save as PDF or Save as Adobe PDF. Firefox will save the file. If you try to open the file you get an error message that the file is damaged and cannot be opened. I did not have this problem in Safari; I followed the same procedures and the pdf file opened fine in Adobe Reader. Why is Reader rejecting the pdf file produced by Firefox when it did not reject the pdf file produce by Safari?

If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

Help with the Error "The file HPZius12.sys on HP CD is needed.. Please

I am working on my fiance's mother printer doing some testing as to why the printer will not communicate with her computer..
Her computer runs Windows 7.
The computer I am testing with runs Windows XP.
I am trying to install the drivers that I got from:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=228&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=31125...
for my Windows XP computer..
While during the installation.. I got the error "The file HPZius12.sys on HP CD is needed."
Well, she does not have the CD(Which is why I downloaded off the website).. But this error came up.. I downloaded the full package driver(About 340+ MB).
I can understand about this error coming up with a CD that may have been corrupted or something.. But How can I fix it if the Driver came straight from the HP site???
Can anyone help?

Hello countryboyofal,
It does seem as if the file HPZius12.sys is corrupted or missing. Check out the link below to resolve this issue. The directions are not for your exact printer, and are for a cd installation, but the concept should work all the same:

[Solved] Error : The file or folder path /Probl?me 1 does not exist

Hello,
I encountered this error
The file or folder <path>/Probl?me 2 does not exist
while I was trying to open a directory already extracted from a zip file containing directories with special characters. In this case, it is a "è" that was misinterpreted as a "?".
I searched the forums and on google, the solutions proposed do not work for me. Although, I have to deal with these files written in french, I would like to have my locale in english (US), with a system wide support for special characters.
Attempt 1: Adding the option : iocharset=utf8 into the fstab, like this :
fstab :
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
none /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0

/dev/disk/by-uuid/668427a8-5f51-42bd-a316-fc7984bf5f4f /var ext4 defaults 0 2
/dev/sda7 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/disk/by-uuid/417cd1b7-8f06-414b-84d5-e8714d9646ab /home ext4 defaults 0 2
/dev/disk/by-uuid/ef9aa00e-0515-4d7b-aa23-8096e787250d /usr ext4 defaults 0 2
/dev/disk/by-uuid/17d401b7-2fc7-4d9f-8e17-657d86926d2e /tmp ext4 defaults,iocharset=utf8 0 0 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<
/dev/disk/by-uuid/71e543b6-e06c-4b0e-b1e3-3b491ff1fefe /var/cache/pacman/repos ext4 defaults 0 2
#/dev/sda12 /mnt/archive ext4 defaults 0 2
#.host:/ /mnt/hgfs vmhgfs defaults 0 0
This solution does not work, because after adding iocharset=utf8, in front or after a "defaults", after a reboot, while mounting the filesystem, there is the following error message:
Mounting Locale Filesystem :
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1,

tg3 0000:07:00.0: irq 44 for MSI/MSI-X
Attempt 2: Changing all the locale features in KDE and in /etc/rc.conf as well.

LOCALE="fr_CA.utf8"
HARDWARECLOCK=""
TIMEZONE="America/Montreal"
KEYMAP="us"
CONSOLEFONT=
CONSOLEMAP=
USECOLOR="yes"
It is complicated to remove these directories. I had to use the inum to get precisely these directories before removing them.
$ ls -il
total 8
1577566 drwxr-xr-x 2 [username] [username] 4096 28 jan 07:09 Probl?me 1
1577573 drwxr-xr-x 2 [username] [username] 4096 28 jan 07:09 Probl?me 2
$ find . -inum 1577566 -exec rm -i {} \;
rm: impossible de supprimer « ./Probl\212me 1 »: est un dossier
Note that the hypothetical character 'è' is represented has a '\212', a 'È' if seen as a extended ASCII character.
These directories cannot be deleted this way :
$ rm -r Problème\ 1
rm: cannot remove `Problème 1': No such file or directory
or
$ rm -r ProblÈme\ 1
rm: cannot remove `ProblÈme 1': No such file or directory
What should I do to be make the operating system recognize those special character, and interpret them correctly ?

I found a working solution, but better solution are also welcome
I had to have fr_CA not only in utf8 but also in iso88591. I had to modify the /etc/rc.conf this way :
LOCALE="fr_CA" <<<<<<<<<<<<<<
HARDWARECLOCK=""
TIMEZONE="America/Montreal"
KEYMAP="us"
CONSOLEFONT=
CONSOLEMAP=
USECOLOR="yes"
To preserve the english US language system wide, I had to add the following line in the /etc/profile :
# Allow french special character while in en_US
export LANG=en_US
The character misinterpreted by a "?" is now seen :
as a "è" in dolphin
as a "?" in the console
It is now possible to access the folders.

I have the following error The file "iTunes library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes

Can anyone help me with this problem. I tried updating the latest itunes and it caused an error MSVCR80.dll missing. I then tried fixing it after reading other people had the same problem and a solution was given about uninstaling itunes and the order in which to do that. I did that but now get the error "the files "itunes library.itl" cannot be read because it was created with a newer version of itunes. I see a solution has been given about this but I cannot find what is suggested to enable me to follow instructions. Can anyone please go through step by step (letting me know where I can find what is needed) to enable me to be able tio log into itues again. Thanks

Hi pussygalore,
If you are having issues with iTunes after an attempted update, you may find the following article helpful:
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
You may want to make sure that in the last step (reinstalling iTunes) that you are installing the latest/newest available version, and not attempting a reinstall from an older file.

Travel and detours have kept me from following up sooner. If the problem that you wrote about still persists.....
Let us go back over that Adobe document regarding troubleshooting damaged projects.
3. Delete the Application Preferences
Where you able to follow that path and delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file at the end of the path? And, after you did, did the saved/closed programs still refuse to open? If you could not carry out this procedure, what were the limiting factors that kept you from do
7. Test to see if individual media files are causing the problem.
That is an important one. How far did you get into following the instructions given in the document? If you could not complete the test, what was the major block that prevented you from doing so?
I want to make sure that we have gone through everything in that document and ruled all factors there in or out. If it was a matter of you not understanding the instructions, I am hoping that the above will channel you questions to me so that I can clarify anything that you did not understand in the Adobe document instructions.
I do not recall if I asked previously. Even if you cannot open all your saved/closed projects, can you still open a new project and save/close it? Maybe even reopen it?
Please review and consider.
Thank you.

While importing clip getting error "The file contains too many audio channels" in premiere pro cs5

Hey,
I am using video clips from sony digital hi8 camera and trying to import video clips (.mov) 720*480 fps 29.97 .But unable to get into premiere pro cs5.System configuration:
MAC 10.6.4
2.66ghz intel core i7
4gb ram
nvidia geforce gt 330 mn.
Error :
Actually ,i have checked the inspector panel and i found same infomation in
in this panel for both clips .please check these clips screen shoots seprately .
Actually i have a long video clip and i have scatterred this clip into 6 diffrent portions
where i am not able to import the last video clip.It is giving me same error "file contain too many audio channels"".
Regards
Manoj

I too am getting this error in Premiere CS5. I was digitizing a Broadcast VHS and since I did not have a breakout box, I hooked it up to a Sony DV deck so I could connect via firewire and capture inside Premiere. I was able to capture and import 1 of the 3 clips and it did have 4 audio channels attached to it. However, upon closer inspection only 2 channels had a waveform. I captured the other 2 clips the same way, but this time, Premiere give the error "The file contains too many audio channels."
Any ideas?

Protected View Error "The file is corrupt and cannot be opened"

All
I have a problem with Protected View in Office 2010 on Windows 7.
Symptom: When downloading a file from the Internet, the file will not open if launched directly from the source location, or saved locally and then opened. This
is impacting both Word and Excel. I haven’t tested other applications. The user gets the error "The file is corrupt and cannot be opened.".
Expected behaviour: Documents should open in Protected View because they are coming from an untrusted zone (Internet Zone).
Troubleshooting Results:
-      If I turn off Protected View the error goes away and the documents open without
issue (but not in Protected View obviously)
-      If I save the file locally, then copy it to a network drive, the problem goes away (because the zone information is changed?).
-      If I save the file directly to a network location, then open it, the problem does not impact me (also doesn’t open in Protected View)
-      If I repair Office the problem is NOT fixed
-      If I reinstall Office the problem is NOT fixed
The problem doesn't impact all machines, but any new machine I build suffers the problem. All Protected View options are set by group policy and all machines are getting the correct settings.
-       The setting “Enable Protected View for files originating from the Internet” is enabled
-       The setting “Enable Protected View for files located in potentially unsafe locations” is enabled
-      The setting “Enable Protected View for Outlook attachments” is enabled
-      Enable Data Execution Prevention mode is enabled
Has anyone seen this problem or can anyone offer suggestions of where to start looking for the root cause? There are lots of postings on this around the various Internet forums, but most
just suggest turning off Protected View, that is not a valid solution to my mind, Protected View is there for a very sound reason and it is not something I'm willing to turn off, especially when it is working on some machines as expected.
Thanks.
James.

Thanks for coming back, James, and I'm glad you've found the source of your
problem.
As an aside, I had no idea HP made software like that and will take a look
at it - or would if I could. Personally, although I love their hardware, I
wouldn't touch HP software, and the fact that their web page doesn't load
(in IE8) just reinforces my feeling.
Enjoy,
Tony
