Help with opening files
I have two different psd files I cannot open.
I last worked on these files May 30th. For each of them I completed a detailed mask, added a path and saved the files without changing the name.
Today I went to work on my project and could not open either file.
When opening the 1st file I got this error message:
Could not complete your request becaus the file is not compatible with this version of Photoship.
When opening the 2nd file I got this error message:
Could not complete your request because it is a not a valid Photoshop document.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

:::sigh:::
I hate to think that this flash drive defective as it contains many psd files.
Earlier in the week I backed up my flash drive to my desktop computer that doesn't have Photoshop. I just transferred the 2 files to a different flash drive and they do not open either.
I need to get a larger hard drive for my laptop!!! And, in the future I will save to the hard drive and then move to my flash if needed.
Is there any way to recover my files?
thanks

Hi All,
I have several files like the one below that Apple transferred from my old PC to my macbook when I bought it. I would like to open them up and see what is in them but do not know how. They do not open with iPhoto. If I try to I get a window saying unreadable script.
Here is the window when i try to open with iphoto:
I am currently with 10.6. When the files were imported from the old PC I was at 10.5. I'd like to open them to see if I want to keep them or not.
Thanks
RonI got your last reply about the incompatability via e-mail notification. However I could not open a new window to respond directly.
Anyway, I have been able to open most of the old PC stuff but I have not paid attention as to what file types work or not. Sounds like your correct though with the incompatability.
Thanks

Can some help with CR2 files ,Ican`t see CR2 files in adobe bridge
can some help with CR2 files ,I can`t see CR2 files in adobe bridge when I open Adobe Photoshop cs5- help- about plugins- no camera raw plugins. When i go Edit- preference and click on camera raw shows message that Adobe camera raw plugin cannot be found
That's strage. Seems that the Camera Raw.8bi file has been moved to different location or has gone corrupt. By any chance did you try to move the camera raw plugin to a custom location?
Go To "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS5\File Formats" and look for Camera Raw.8bi file.
If you have that file there, try to download the updated camera raw plugin from the below location.
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=5371&fileID=5001
In case you ae not able to locate the Camera Raw.8bi file on the above location, then i think you need to re-install PS CS5.

Help with opening Adobe Reader and downloading updates
I can not open Adobe .pdf files any longer (this started yesterday, prior to that I could open adobe files).
When I double click a .pdf file I get this notice on my screen: Windows cannot access the specified device path or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access file.
So I went to the Adobe download site to download a new copy of Adobe. When I start the download I get this on the screen: The instruction at "0x0e3a0068" referenced memory at "0x0e3a0068." The memory could not be written. Then two options are listed: click OK to terminate or cancel to debug. So I click on cancel and I get this on my screen: Internet Explorer has closed this webpage to help protect your computer. A malfunctioning or malicious addon has caused I.E. to close this webpage.
I don't have AVG running, I do have avast but I've disabled it. I ran Registry Mechanic and an I.E. erasure program but nothing helps.
I have gone into I.E. and reduced the security level to its lowest state but no joy.
So, any ideas or suggestions on what's the problem and how to overcome it would be appreciated. Thanks, in advance, for your reply. Jim R.Hi Mike..tried that as well but no joy. A friend of mine was looking at it all and noticed that it was an I.E. thing as far as not letting me redownload the reader so I went to Mozilla Firefox and I could download a new version but....whenever I attempt to open a .pdf file I get that message, "Windows can not open the specified device, path or file. You man not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."
Damn...this is irritating as I need to get to some of thos files as I need them for a Journal I'm working on as editor-in-chief.
It all worked just fine last Saturday but starting Monday when I was on my flight out to D.C. no joy.
Sigh...Jim R.

Help with add file name problem with Photoshop CS4
Frustrating problem: Help with add file name problem with Photoshop CS4. What happens is this. When I am in PS CS4 or CS3 and run the following script it runs fine.

iTunes has stopped automatically syncing new books placed in Library with open file. I have to drag the file to the device to get iTunes to sync the book. Why?
Ever since version. 7 iTunes has stopped syncing checked books without dragging them to my iPad. all settings are correct. I have set up 3 new devices and had to direct the new people to drag the books to their iPad. previous to ver. 7 this happened automaticlly just by syncling the device. This issue isn't just on my computer but at least three others. books purchased from apple sync just fine. If is drag the book from the library ad drop it on the device it syncs fine. What a pain if you have added several files now you either have to do the drag drop process for each one as you add it or try and remember which files you added the find them and do the process.
ThanksHello BBWEST11,
This may be due to iTunes 11 being set to manually manage content on devices by default.
By default, iTunes 11 and later is set to manually manage your content on your device. Manually managing your device allows you to choose the content you want to have with you.

Please help with medical files I need to open immediately and cannot.
I have some medical files sent to me that I desperately need to open. The instructions were to copy the file to the desktop, a zip file by the way, left click using the mac button and "I" at the same time. A menu would open saying "open with" and I was to choose stuffit. Then enter the password when prompted. I was able to get to the stuffit part and the password prompt and entered the password, but nothing happened. I keep getting the error message: Unable to unarchive "LoganRobertPEME.zip" into "Desktop". (Error 1-Operation not permitted.)
Can anyone help me open this file?
ThanksContact whoever sent you the file. Perhaps it's a bad archive. Or be sure you entered the password correctly. They are case sensitive.

Please help with opening old mac AE file on a pc
Hi,
With the latest version of AE on a pc I tried opening older mac version .aep file created I believe in 1999. I had very little hope so I wasn't surprised to see this message:
"After Effects error: this file was created with an older version of After Effects [3.0 (Macintosh PPC)], and can’t be opened. You can convert this file using an older version of After Effect and resaving."
It is not clear which version should be used, Pc or Mac, and if at the end that file could eventually be opened in thet latest AE on a pc.
I will greatly appreciate any help with this.Thanks Mylenium
Rebuilding is not an option. It is a lot of work and I need this as a portfolio item. I created a promotional interactive CD with Macromedia Director in 1999 for a sign company. I created 19 short animations for it with After Effects 3 using old PPC Mac. I haven't used After effects since then but recently several new clients asked me if I can make animations from that nature. So, I'm trying to use my old work as a demonstration of my creative skills. The problem is that the animations were rendered tiny with 309 x 228 pixels to fit in the interactive interface of the presentation intended for the small monitors used at that time. I took the animations from the interactive CD and using the latest AE on a pc, I created a rough composition with running the animations one after another. To make the animations a bit larger I scaled most of them to 320 x 240 hoping it will look better.
In my archives I have the project files and all .ai vector graphics used for the animations. I still have the old PPC Mac retired somewhere in the closets and installer CD with After Effects 3 and 4. I thought it would be great if I can somehow open the files in the latest version on a pc but if not I guess I have to take out that old mac are render to higher resolution using this ancient machine and AE version. And I'm wondering if all this is worth it.
I will appreciate any tips, advices, things to be aware, etc, and how to make this looks better on YouTube.
Oh, and another question by the way, I haven't been current to the animation software for a long time and wonder if this kind of presentational animations are best suited for creating with Flash or After Effects is still OK? -
Hi eveybody,
I was trying to wok with open hub. Created infospoke, destination i gave was a csv file named d:/openmara.csv path, saved and activated the info spoke. I went to d:/ to view the uploaded files, two file was created, when i try to open a file it says "unable to read" , when i tried to open the second one i could open the file and see some datas but not in a correct format, why is that?
Then i tried to load the data in database, so in the infospoke i selected the option for destination as database,saved and activated the infospoke, now where should i go to see the uploaded datas physically?
Could anyone help me with this.
Thanks,
RR.Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I created a infospoke and destination was database option. Opened the se16 gave the table name which starts with /bic/....(please correct me if i am wrong),then the initial screen of se16 came up with all the fields , but when i executed it, the table is empty.Could you say why it is happening.
Thanks,

Over this past weekend I was moving, via Relocate Masters, large numbers of images from managed status on my MacBook Pro to referenced status on an external drive (an Air Disk, to be precise). This had gone fine for thousands of images, but Sunday night I returned to the computer to find that it was completely locked up in mid-Relocate, and seemed to have been locked up for a while. I'm not sure what happened, but it seemed bad -- I couldn't get to the Force Quit dialog, or anywhere else. I powered down by holding in the power button.
Upon resurrecting things, Aperture would not open the library. Long story shorter, I rebuilt the database and was then able to see the library contents again. But then I noticed that many files were "offline." Digging further, and using the Manage Referenced Files box, I discovered that some 3500 files need to be reconnected.
The Reconnect All button did a little bit of magic for me, but now I've gotten to a point where using Reconnect All only reconnects one file at a time. I was renaming files as I Relocated Masters, and my fear is that this is what has caused the disconnect. *So first,* can anyone tell me that this is what has caused the problem (the problem being my apparent need to now reconnect 3400 files, one-by-one)?
*Second, and more importantly to me, do I have any recourse beyond reconnecting one-by-one?* Again, the problem seems to me to be that the library file expects a file named image.jpg (or whatever), because the change of the file name to greatimage.jpg that occurred during Relocation did not get written to the library file.
Many thanks for all help and suggestions.Homme dArs wrote:
I hope someone else can join in with a definitive answer to your problem, but I don't believe you will be happy using the configuration you are attempting to set up.
Having Aperture access your images via wireless is going to be very very slow, and any connection problems will be very frustrating. I have even abandoned the idea of using wireless backup of image files because it so slow.
Perhaps someone can help with your immediate problem, but I would strongly suggest you find a way to store your referenced files locally (a firewire drive would be ideal).
Thanks. I certainly appreciate your thought, and before trying it myself, my instinct was the same as yours. That said, until the present problem cropped up, I have to say it has been quite a good solution. My network is 802.11n, and I've noticed no real lag in accessing the files or otherwise using Aperture with a library stored as this is.
But yes, I hope someone is able to help me get these 3400-some files reconnected short of one-by-one.
Thank you for your comments. -
Need help with connecting file inputs to arrays
In this assignment I have a program that will do the following: display a list of names inputed by the user in reverse order, display any names that begin with M or m, and display any names with 5 or more letters. This is all done with arrays.
That was the fun part. The next part requires me to take the names from a Notepad file, them through the arrays and then output them to a second Notepad file.
Here is the original program: (view in full screen so that the code doesn't get jumbled)
import java.io.*; //Imports the Java library
class progB //Defines class
public static void main (String[] arguments) throws IOException
BufferedReader keyboard; //<-
InputStreamReader reader; // Allows the program to
reader = new InputStreamReader (System.in); // read the the keyboard
keyboard = new BufferedReader (reader); //<-
String name; //Assigns the name variable which will be parsed into...
int newnames; //...the integer variable for the amount of names.
int order = 0; //The integer variable that will be used to set the array size
String[] array; //Dynamic array (empty)
System.out.println (" How many names do you want to input?"); //This will get the number that will later define the array
name = keyboard.readLine ();
newnames = Integer.parseInt (name); // Converts the String into the Integer variable
array = new String [newnames]; //This defines the size of the array
DataInput Imp = new DataInputStream (System.in); //Allows data to be input into the array
String temp;
int length; //Defines the length of the array for a loop later on
for (order = 0 ; order < newnames ; order++) //<-
{ // Takes the inputed names and
System.out.println (" Please input name "); // gives them a number according to
temp = keyboard.readLine (); // the order they were inputed in
array [order] = temp; //<-
for (order = newnames - 1 ; order >= 0 ; order--) //<-
{ // Outputs the names in the reverse
System.out.print (" \n "); // order that they were inputed
System.out.println (" Name " + order + " is " + array [order]); //<-
for (order = 0 ; order < newnames ; order++) //<-
if (array [order].startsWith ("M") || array [order].startsWith ("m")) // Finds and outputs any and all
{ // names that begin with M or m
System.out.print (" \n "); //
System.out.println (array [order] + (" starts with M or m")); //
} //<-
for (order = 0 ; order < newnames ; order++) //<-
length = array [order].length (); //
if (length >= 5) // Finds and outputs names
{ // with 5 or more letters
System.out.print (" \n "); //
System.out.println ("Name " + array [order] + " have 5 or more letters "); //<-
}The notepad file contains the following names:
jim
laruie
tim
timothy
manny
joseph
matty
amanda
I have tried various methods but the one thing that really gets me is the fact that i can't find a way to connect the names to the arrays. Opening the file with FileInputStream is easy enough but using the names and then outputing them is quite hard. (unless i'm thinking too hard and there really is a simple method)By "connect", do you just mean you want to put the names into an array?
array[0] = "jim"
array[1] = "laruie"
and so on?
That shouldn't be difficult at all, provided you know how to open a file for reading, and how to read a line of text from it. You can just read the line of text, put it in the array position you want, until the file is exhausted. Then open a file for writing, loop through the array, and write a line.
What part of all that do you need help with? -
I would really appreciate any help on this! I have my itunes library on an external hard drive. The power adapter to that drive failed. I replaced it, but now when I open itunes it doesn't recognize where any of my files are. A friend told me to try to go into Edit>Preferences and find the drive of my hard drive and reset that as where the files are. That didn't work. I can go in manually and click on a song where the window pops up that itunes can't find the file, and I am able to find it and then it will play. But to do that with all files in my library would take forever. Thank you so much for any help!
(I have itunes 8)Try This. Hold the shift key down, and open iTunes. Do not let up on the shift key until you get a window that asks you to choose a library, or create a new library. If iTunes opens without giving you that choice, just close it and re-open it with the shift key down. Nine times out of Ten it works on the first try. Click "choose a library". You will get another window that allows you to navigate to your hard drive and show iTunes where your music is stored. In a folder called iTunes or iTunes Music, choose "iTunes Library.itl" This should bring back your entire library the way it was when you last used it.

PDFOpenOptions issue with open(file, options)
Hi guys,
I have a script to open JPGs and now I need to adapt it to open PDFs.
I'm getting a "wrong type of enumerated value" error exactly because of the way I'm working the PDFOpenOptions (line "open(fileList[i], pdfOpenOptions);").
I found quite a few scripts that define pdf open options just like I did, but in all of them the root path was hard coded (I need it dynamic).
So, where am I going wrong? Too much time on it, can't see errors anymore... (mac, cs4)

Java applet runs inside html page when opened with http, but no longer with "Open File" menu, why?
Using the "Open File" menu, file:///Users/234866H/Documents/atom/atomic1.html fails to open the java applet atomic1.class inside atomic.html. However, http://atom.curtin.edu.au/igor/atom/atomic1.html works just fine.
I suspect the problem arose following the recent java upgrade. It is also there on Safari.
Testing Java at http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp yields:
"Your Java is working. Your Java configuration is as follows: Vendor: Apple Inc. Version: Java SE 6 Update 51 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6.8 Java Architecture: 64-bit"
However, this is an http test, and not an "Open File" test.
Any help would be appreciated.Hello, I don't know about this specifically but this is what I would try.
Instead of the string "\u7834\u70C2\u7269\u7A0B\u5E8F\u5458..."
Set the encoding type in the String constructor first...
ie:
new String( "\u7834\u70C2\u7269\u7A0B\u5E8F\u5458...","GB18030");
Here is a little class I whipped up to show the CharSets that are available to you..
public class ShowAllCharSets
ShowAllCharSets()
Map myMap = Charset.availableCharsets();
Iterator iterator = myMap.keySet().iterator();
while (iterator.hasNext())
System.out.println("Char set name = "+((String)it.next()));
public static void main(String args[])
new ShowAllCharSets();
}Then use the preset charset String with the specific encoding already set for your menu items.
GB18030 I picked arbitrarily because it is Chinese and you may have to try another.
Good Luck!
