File created in PS5, saved as PSD file- 2.14GB, now error message can't open

Created file, saved and now PS5 will not open. Please see screen file message. Any help appreciated.

This is the boilerplate text often used in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that normally, it does work, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please cease and desist immediately in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files. Working across a network is not supported.
See: 
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406793.html
  Copy the CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
     Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work.   It should.
    Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
  If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.

    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,
    We had the same problem here. This amazingly simple solution worked: http://www.tuaw.com/2012/08/07/invalid-keynote-document-calm-down-and-try-this-f ix/

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I cannot install sign cut plug in for my illustrator.  error message: "Can't open the illustration. The file is locked or in use. ID-54

  • I received a psd file created in CS6 for MAC, I am unable to find the layers when I open it in photoshop in Windows. What can i do to edit the files?

    I received a psd file created in CS6 for MAC, I am unable to find the layers when I open it in photoshop in Windows. What can i do to edit the files? What can be done so that I can either open and see the layers or how can the sender save it in a way that it doesn't "merge" the layers in some way to just one?

    Could try saving as tiff provided layers and transparency are chosen at the time of saving. But it's hard to give a definitive answer as it depends on the final usage. For example PSD's tend to work better in applications like In Design in comparison with tiff.

  • Is it possible when saving the psd file to have an automatic jpg file saved at the same time?

    My work involves preparing images for printing lightboxes and window installations.  My clients require to pre-approve the photos before printing.
    I usually save my files as psd but since the files are very large in this format I usually save another copy as a jpg file that has a much smaller file size.  This makes it possible for me to add these to a presentation and and send them to my client.
    Is it possible when saving the psd file to have an automatic jpg file saved at the same time?  Or do I still have to do this manually?

    If you save the document manually as a PSD file in Phtoshop not from within an Action, Script, Plugin or Droplette.  You may be able to write a Photoshop that would do as save as Jpeg,  And you should be able trigger its execution by setting up a Script Save event using the Script event manager.  When You do a manual save  the script should be triggered.  I wrote may be able to for I have never tried to write that script or set up a Script Manager Save event.  I have only use open events.

  • Why is Photoshop Elements 8 not saving a psd file as a pdf now that I purchased Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

    Why is Adobe Elements 8 not saving a psd file as a pdf after I started using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro instead of my CS3 Pro? Both Adobe software is up to date and before I switched to Acrobat XI Pro, it worked fine. Help please...

    You aren't talking to Adobe here. But still...Is it by any chance asking for a QUALIFYING product? If so, you purchased an UPGRADE and now need to give the serial number of the OLDER product (Acrobat 9 or X) which you must own to be able to use the upgrade. Simples.

  • Photoshop saved a PSD file with security permissions, and now I can't access it.  Please help!

    Using Photoshop CC, I saved a PSD file after several hours of editing.  I also exported a TIF file from the PSD.  After closing Photoshop, I cannot access either file in any way.  I cannot even copy them.
    going to properties --> security, I get a message that reads, "You must have Read permissions to view the properties of this object."  Click Advanced to continue.
    When I click Advanced, it says "Unable to display current owner", and in none of the three tabs available (Permissions, Auditing, or Effective Access) can I click "Continue" and get any further than the message, "You do not have permission to view or edit this object's permission settings".
    Please help me.  This is highly frustrating, and a bug that is costing me over an hour of my time troubleshooting.
    Thank you.
    UPDATE: 
    I rebooted, and the files are... gone. Photoshop CC has no record of the file under "Open Recent".
    What just happened? I lost a good 2 hours of work and a unique photograph
    UPDATE2
    I restarted the project, saved a PSD with Maximize Compatibility selected.  Verified this file has appropriate permissions. 
    When I then go to File --> Save (not "Save as", but "Save"), after progressing to 90% or so, an error message comes up, "Could not save 'O:\[path]\file.PSD' because the file name was not valid."
    I click "OK", and then go to the original file and check its permissions.  They are now changed to "You must have read permissions".

    I have this exact problem too. Windows 8.1 CC 2014 and all of a sudden I get the problems AIJ23 has. Say I have 8 files open, I save the first 3 or four, just with Control-S (saving in PSD format) no problem, then all of a sudden on the next save I get a message saying I don't have permission to save over the file followed by the same problems as above. I use Save As so I don't loose my work but I cannot delete/rename/change permissions of the original file. This only started happening about 2-3 days ago and only happens in Photoshop. I haven't managed to find much about this issue anywhere.

  • Why are 'saved as' .psd files so much bigger than original raw nef files?

    I was under the impression that original raw files were the biggest possible. I appear to be very wrong. Why are 'saved as' .psd files so much bigger than original raw nef files?
    I'm beginning to think that saving them as psd is a bad idea.
    Yes, though I've heard all the arguments of keepng the original raw files (For ex. Did you throw away the negatives when you were using film) I se eno purpose in keeping them. Once I've made the initial adjustments--cropping, color correction etc. I don't feel a need to ever go back and never do. Most of my work is done in Photoshop and I like it that way--but suddenly finding myself with such huge files doesn't appeal to me at all--and other formats like tif...well never mind for now.

    Good point made c.pfaffenbichler however, my thinking is this--there is time spent on the raw file and then there is much more time spent on (usually a psd) the file once in Photoshop. For me to then go back to the orignal raw file, after having worked on it on PS would mean getting rid of all the work (larger amount of work, time wise and artistic wise) done on PS which seems pointless. Although the psd file does show your layers and stuff it only shows the end results of that layer. It does not show from where to where you pointed your brush, from what point to what point you changed the color or part of an image etc. etc.Anyhow I understand why most people keep their raw files, but this is the main reason why I do not. It would mean hours of work on an image you already worked on (and usually were satisfied with) to perhaps make some minor alteration. Also please note that though I was noce a pro photog, no I do it mostly for fun. Getting the exact red in my Coca Cola can has never been of importance. On the other hand, if there were a way of working on a raw file within Photoshop and keep it (save it as) a raw file equivalent, then I would absolutely do so.

  • Help!!! accidently saved my psd file and lost all my design

    hello forumers
    i  accidently saved my psd file and lost all my design is there a way to get it back?!??!?!pls helppppp...
    ps:i didnt delete it,i just clicked on save as wihtt he same name,but i dindt notice the design was missing,until i opened up the psd file again.
    thank you.

    This is a Mac Photoshop forum, so it was a reasonable assumption. If you closed the file you are hooped unless you can access a backup.
    Too late for this job, but you might want to install Dropbox. You get 2 GB of space for free on Dropbox’s servers, and any files saved in your My Dropbox (I think that’s what it’s called on Windows) folder are copied to Dropbox’s servers. The big deal is that you can share any files or folders with other users or other computers, so you could have the same folder on your work and home PCs and files saved on one are automatically updated and available on the other. The other big deal is that Dropbox keep old versions of files. I keep all working jobs in Dropbox and remove them only when complete and ready for archive. It is a huge bacon saver.
