I am getting error message ata when opening a 10 year old file

I have a customer that is asking for his art from 2002 that we have saved, but I can't open it in CS5 or CS6. I can see it in the preview window of CS5 but it almost opens and then gives an "ata" error and opens a blank document. Any idea how I can open this file?

You should read about the recovery feature in Illustrator a part of whoich is to open the file in a text edit app once opened it looks to me that the word Data does not belong there at all or should be on another line in a different string. But I think it does not belong so try deleting it.
then you resave the file but not as text but as an .ai file then it might open in AI.
when you have the exo-pression End it means exactly that as string so Data is destroying the expression. and a space might be also something you can try or look at the content following it to see if it belongs there.

-108 basically means "out of memory (RAM)".
Try a restart of the Mac just before finalizing to release RAM.

Use Tony's suggestion. I am running it right now and it is awesome. I love Mozilla but they basically screwed all of those older Macs over. Come on Mozilla. These Macs still work, and there are plenty of people with them out there.

Hey there davidgor2!
I have found an article that should help you resolve this issue with updating your iTunes. The article can be found here:
iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297
and the specific part of the article you will want to look at first is right here:
"Error 42023" through "Error 42408"
These alerts might occur when trying to authorize iTunes or during launch when iTunes checks for authorization information.
Install the latest iTunes from apple.com/itunes/download/
Remove the SC Info folder.
If that does not resolve the issue, see iTunes: "Error 42408" or "Error 42404" after upgrading to iTunes 9.0.3.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
Use another USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
If you checked your connections and are still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues.

Hi Hello,

Hi there,
This may be caused by a USB conflict or and issue with your security software. It looks like the article you came from has this information toward the bottom.
Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, the device may need service.
