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!
Regards, Catherine A

Getting error message when trying to open Office

Hi,
I did try to search for this problem, but couldn't find it.... Just today, I tried to open a word doc in Mac Office 2008, and I kept getting an error message... I get the same error message if I try to open up anything in Office... I get the error message that "MS Office has encountered a problem and needs to close"
What's the deal? If I try to update Mac Office I get this: "You cannot install Office 2008 12.1.1 Update on this volume. A version of the software required to install this update was not found on this volume."
I wouldn't have Office if I didn't need it for work...
Thanks.

Trying to restore bookmarks and get error msg windows can't open places.sqlite file. also get same message when trying to open json files for prev sessions.

Ibelieve remote user deleted cache and now I have no bookmarks. I have tried to reset firefox and was unable to do so. I tried to restore bookmarks through the places sqlite file and windows cannot open the file. I went to old firefox file on desktop and tried to open a previous version of bookmarks and windows could not open file. I still have bookmark toolbar and a lot of my categories bookmarks but they are all empty. My plugins are still there Can you tell me where to direct windows to open sqlite of json files?

To experiment more safely, could you create a new Firefox profile? The new profile will have your system-installed plugins (e.g., Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions, or other customizations. It also should have completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder. If we get your bookmarks into the new profile successfully, you can create a backup and restore it in your regular profile.
Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run):
firefox.exe -P
Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.
Please do not delete anything in this dialog.
Click the Create Profile button, choose a name like TESTING, and skip the option to choose a folder. Then start Firefox in the new profile you created.
If you have backups in the JSON format (e.g., bookmarks-2014...json) try to restore one to this TESTING profile. This article has the steps (you will need to use Choose File... to get to the backup):
[[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
Does that work and give you complete results?
If not, the next thing I would try is to drop in the places.sqlite file you have and see whether Firefox can read it properly.
First, open up a Windows Explorer window to this new profile folder. You can do that using either
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* Help menu > Troubleshooting Information
In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button
Got the list of files? Okay, leaving that window open, switch back over to Firefox and Exit the browser, using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
* File menu > Exit
Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup -- you will see the timestamps update in the profile folder, then rename '''places.sqlite''' to something like places.old and drop in the places.sqlite file you want to test.
Start Firefox back up again. Bookmarks?

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.

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?

Problems shutting down and getting 'Error -39 when trying to open my files

After working all evening using my Macbook Pro, I close out all my programs and shut down the computer.
However, the computer refuses to shut down. The screen freezes and just sits there. After about 10 minutes of waiting I eventually hold down the power button to shut the computer off.
When I restart the MacBook Pro and try to open the file I was working on, I get the following error. 'While attempting to access [FILE], the file manager reported an error -39.'
Why does this keep happening?
MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB Ram MHz DDR3
Mac OS X 10.5.8
Finale 2010
Logic Studio 9
Yamaha PSR-310 via Midi Interface

I don't think you're having an Apple hard disk issue, because your other applications are working without problems.
I believe you are getting the corrupted file(s) (End of file, Error -39) because you are powering off the computer before the application and the computer have completely shut down.
I can't tell you why it is happening, but I suspect that the Finale application is being extremely slow to shut down, and it is leaving the '.mus' file open until it quits.
*Kostby, thanks so much for your reply. I actually work for a software company, so I asked a few people around here and they agree with you. For some reason, the application is taking a very, very long time to quit, and it's causing the computer to keep running instead of shutting down.*
Perhaps some file was corrupted in the old version of the Finale application was carried over with the upgrade? Have you tried reinstalling the application?
*I haven't, but this is a good idea. I will completely remove the program and start over.*
Hardware...
I notice that the keyboard dates from 2006/2007.
*Actually, it's from 1993 (time flies...)*
Is the midi interface Firewire or USB?
USB
Does the midi interface ever cause an error or a 'hang' with or without the keyboard?
*Not that I'm aware of. I haven't used it in awhile, and it's not been connected to the computer in weeks.*
Are there software drivers needed to make the Midi interface work with the Mac.
*No, I simply plugged it in and it worked. No extra software or drivers needed.*
Are the drivers old? (e.g. 10.4.x or 10.5.3)
N/A
Have you tried saving the file to a USB flash drive, rather than a physical hard disk?
*I haven't, but I'll need to save a few tonight if I do a reinstall of Finale.*
Powering off vs suspending vs leaving it run...
Do you get the 'spinning beachball' (spindump) when Finale apparently hangs?
*No spinning beachball. The desktop simply freezes...*
What happens if you leave it on for an hour or overnight after the apparent 'hang'?
*Never done that. Longest I've left it alone during the 'hang' has been about 15 minutes.*
Does the screen ever come back and let you use the computer again?
*After 15 minutes I would hit the power button and force it to shut off. I've never allowed it to go on for this long. I just thought if it didn't come back after 15 minutes it wasn't ever coming back.*
Does the file corruption occur when you suspend the application by closing the lid, rather than shutting it off?
*I've never just closed the lid on my Macbook Pro. I've always either set it to sleep or shut down and waited for it to do so before closing the lid.*
Thanks again for the great suggestions. I will try them all this evening when I get home from work.
Best,
Dana

Error message when trying to open a newly installed Adobe Reader from Old Software reinstalled

I am unable to open my Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 that came with Adobe CS2. There is an error message that says "No valid Acrobat Serial Number found. Acrobat will now quit."
There is no area to input the serial number even though I have it on the case that came with my CS2 software.
Please let me know how I can fix this so I can use it on my computer.

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.
