Help, file error preventing me from opening project.  Overwrite save as new?

Hi there, I've been working on a big project - saving locally and backing up at night, but now my daily file is corrupted and won't open...  I'm getting the following
Do you want to overwrite the file or save as a new file?
When I select "Overwrite" or a File Save As, I get the following message in response:
Adobe Captivate could not open the file because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
I'm using captivate 3.  I wasn't doing anything other than trying to save the file at an interval through out the day as I always do.
I have plenty of hard drive space - so that is not the issue.  I did move the project it off and delete it from the original source and try to reopen...any other suggestions or explanations for why this is happening?

Will try, Tom. I ended up just force quitting , which I lost my project.
Another question: I'm working in Photoshop Elements importing into FCE. I was told by Apple to work in 720 x 540. I created cute frames and borders around my pics. On the computer looks great, disc image looked great but when I burned to dvd, I lost most of my frames, borders. Is there any way to resize so that the borders, etc. can be seen without having to redo from scratch? Need to get this to a friend by tomorrow so I'm in a crunch for time.
Thanks so much!
Susie

  • My New LP8 File Always Prevents Logic from Opening

    hi guys, i have a minor crisis. heres the short version => a piece i've been working on all of a sudden caused Logic Pro 8 to crash, and when i try and open the crashed version it just causes it to crash again. it won't even open it. i can go to the previously saved version, but there would be a lot missing and i can't afford to lose it.
    its a large file with lots of plug-ins and so forth, had i planned it better i would have used buses and so forth, but it shouldn't be doing this even having poorly planned everything. it crashed when i was messing with the volume automation for one track if that means anything.
    i am worried that this is a glitch that apple is just going to tell me too bad about, but if anyone has any info please help. thanks a billion.
    p.s. i already tried opening it without loading any of my software instruments (just canceling them as they try and open), i tried repairing disk permissions, i tried erasing that list in Library>>Preferences. i just have a bad feeling about this.

    This seems to happen on a regular basis, projects get corrupted and nobody can understand why. Have you tried disabling the Audio Core and then opening the project? You could then bypass all plugins, enable the core and bring the plugs back one by one. As soon as you activate a "broken" plug Logic will crash and you know, which plug causes that. This procedure has helped me in the past.
    Also try saving the project under a different name, but you'll probably have tried this already.

  • Prevent user from opening an applescript file

    Greetings,
         I have written an Applescript for use by the User to change file permissions on folders or files they get from clients from outside our company.  The permissions of these files denies the User from opening the files and work with them  The script I wrote will change those permissions to Read/Write but also contains Administrator information with regards to Admin Name and Password.   The script runs just fine.
         Where my problem arises is I cannot find a way to prevent a User from using the Applescript application on their workstation to open my script and view the Admin name and Password.  What I need to happen is to have the script run when the User places a file on the icon, but not allow a User to open the script to see the coding.  I'm really new to Applescript and I figure i am missing something.  Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Are these items downloaded into the same folder in each user account?
    That part is reliably the same or are users involved choosing the save location?
    Frankly I'd scrap Applescript - it is a pain for anything involving admin privs & normal users.
    Option 1…
    Stick a task into roots crontab to chmod/ chown that location every 5 minutes or so!
    If you want to be smart about it check if the perms are in a mess before you fix them. A shell script can do this. Obviously you need to check the path to give the correct user the ownership etc.
    Option 2…
    Set a launchd job to watch a specific folder & run a command when items are added - like folder actions without the crappy Applescript part
    https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/ man5/launchd.plist.5.html#//apple_ref/do…
    It would need to be a system level job since the user doesn't seem to have enough permission.
    If you need to use an application to allow the user to have control an Applescript droplet could move the items to the watched folder, where the launchd job resets the perms. Then the items could be moved elsewhere via the script that runs from the watch job.
    It all seems kinda kludgy, but sometimes that is how OS X is!
    Perhaps this is outlandish & impractical but so is manually fixing stuff like this every time someone calls
    Any thoughts?

  • Something called "television fanatic plugin" which seems to have come with the Safari upgrade is preventing me from opening Safari.  Help

    Something called "television fanatic plugin" which seems to have come with the upgrade to Safari 5.1 is preventing me from opening Safari.  I cannot find it on my computer.  What do I have to do to eliminate it and be able to open Safari?

    If the software doesn't have an uninstall feature, quit Safari and try manually removing the third-party add-on files. These files are usually installed in one or more of the following locations:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
    /Library/Input Methods/
    /Library/InputManagers/
    /Library/ScriptingAdditions
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
    ~/Library/Input Methods/
    ~/Library/InputManagers/
    ~/Library/ScriptingAdditions
    The first four locations listed are in the root-level Library on your hard disk, not the user-level Library in your Home folder.The tilde (~) represents your Home folder.
    To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library.

  • Sandboxd prevents preview from opening images

    The sanboxd is preventing me from opening some, but not all, images with preview.
    The system.log shows:

    I have recently migrated from a macbook with 10.6 to a macbook air with 10.7. I used migration assistant via wifi.
    The problem arises both on newly downloaded images as well as images that were transferred via migration assistant.
    The file permission is 755, and File->View permissions looks perfectly fine.
    Any idea what is causing this and how to I prevent this from happening again?

    Hi Linc,
    thank you for the suggestion, but unfortunately it did not help. For the top directory, and all subsequent directories, I have read&write (755) permissions, as well as for the files that i can not open.
    This appears to happen randomly. Some directories are affected, some are not, and it appears to happen to all files in certain directories.
    Interestingly, if I control-click and select e.g. Explorer, I can view the image. Also, if I copy the file to my Desktop, I can also view the image. So it only happens to Preview in certain directories.

  • Outlook Integration add in prevents outlook from opening

    Hi All,
    When the outlook integration executable (BO_SyncExt.exe) is running it prevents outlook from opening. Outlook just sits there saying loading user profile all the time. When the process is killed via task manager outlook opens. The issue seems to be intermittent, we've tried the usual uninstalling, re-installing, rebuilding the machine etc. it didn't work.
    The problem doesn't happen on machines using office 2003 or 2007, only on Office 2010 (32 bit).
    SAP version 8.8 PL20.
    Any ideas what this might be?
    Many Thanks,
    Matt

    Hi Jimmy,
    it is 32-bit MS Office, I have had this issue both on 8.82 PL05 (Windows 7 32-bit) and PL07 (Win2008 R2 server 64-bit).
    The Outlook Integration log shows some strange entries without error description:
    2012-07-23 15:24:30  E  CBO_AddIn::OnConnection  ERROR: **************************************************************************
    2012-07-23 16:36:01  E  CBO_AddIn::OnConnection  ERROR: **************************************************************************
    2012-07-23 16:38:33  E  CBO_GUIControl::ReleaseGUIControl  ERROR: Exception in closing the Outlook...
    2012-07-23 16:39:13  E  CBO_AddIn::OnDisconnection  ERROR: ############################################################################
    2012-07-23 18:23:27  E  CBO_AddIn::OnConnection  ERROR: **************************************************************************
    After this error (Exception in closing the Outlook...) I assume that the Outlook.exe hangs, therefore when opening Excel, I get an error message like 'Failed to open log file', so probably the hung Outlook.exe locks the log file. Of course opening Outlook isn't possible in that status.
    After closing the process Outlook.exe, I can start Outlook again and Excel doesn't throw any error message. Nevertheless I tried also to run BO_SyncExt.exe in compatibility mode, I will observe this issue now.
    Thanks

  • I recently brought an ipad 2, im wondering is there any way to hide files to prevent others from viewing them?

    I recently brought an ipad 2, i wondering is there anyway to mark files hidden to keep others from viewing them??

    well... there are some apps where you can store your passwords and stuff, but they will not prevent people from opening you photos/emails and get nosy while you are not watching.
    I know what you mean.
    Maybe you want to give some feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

  • How do I prevent Mail from opening when I click an email address in Safari?

    My wife and I both use Yahoo! Mail. Neither of us uses the Mail app to manage our email. How do I prevent Mail from opening when we click an email address in Safari?  Is it possible to direct Safari to open a separate web browser prompting us to log in to our Yahoo! Mail?

    Hmm.. probably not.
    You want to open Mail. Then go into Preferences > General and you will see something similar to this:
    In the area marked Default Mail reader click on the pull down and at the bottom of the list it will say Other. You can see if you can select Safari here and if that will open up Safari.
    Good luck.

  • How do I prevent iTunes from opening when I pug in my iPod?

    How do i prevent tunes from opening when i plug in my ipod?

    This will occur when there are photos and/or videos in the Camera Roll, which should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
    Depending on the iPhoto version you are running, this can be done via iPhoto preferences > connected camera opens > select no application.

  • Hi there. Can someone please help me with copying photos from my old iPad to my new one? Thanks.

    Hi there. Can someone please help me with copying photos from my old iPad to my new ipad2? Thanks.

    If you have a pc, when you plug your iPad in you should see the windows pop up window offering to backup the photos. Do that and it will save all your photos and videos to your computer where you can then sync them back to your new one.
    If the pop up doesn't come up, double click on my computer and navigate your way to the iPad. Double cick on it an d navigate to the DCIM folder. Drag your photos and videos to your pc, then sync them back onto your iPad.

  • Every time I open a new illustrator file it says "print.ai" file unknown.  I can open previous work but no new files.  Any fixes?

    Every time I open a new illustrator file it says "print.ai" file unknown.  I can open previous work but no new files.  Any fixes?

    All nee AI files are based on document profiles, which are actually plain AI files.
    Print.ai is one of them. You may try and select a different profile to see if it's just the Print.ai
    But it may of course be all of them that somehow got corrupt.
    Could be that the files are corrupt or that Illustrator doesn't have access privileges.
    The files are located in your user folder. Find the exact location in this article:
    http://blogs.adobe.com/adobeillustrator/2009/05/startup_profiles_a_great_tool.html
    In case the files are completely corrupt you may try and rebuild the preferences or even do a complete reinstall.

    I need help moving my Photoshop 7 from my old laptop to my new laptop which is running Windows 7 Enterprise. I’ve tried two routes unsuccessfully. I install the CD, it does not autoplay. I execute Autoplay.exe at the root directory, I am welcomed, I choose English, I accept the EULA, I get the Install/Explore choices window, with the Install button already selected, I click the Photoshop button, the CD spins, and nothing happens.  In the 2nd attempt I execute Setup.exe in the Photoshop directory, and nothing happens at all.  I’m never even offered the opportunity to enter my product code. What should I do?

    There could is likely a compatibility problem between the old software and the newer operating system.

    Either backup the contacts in iCloud or with a compatible programme on your computer (Outlook, Windows Contacts, Address Book etc).
    Once done, sync the contacts to your new iPhone from that programme/iCloud.
