I get error message " The file "Print.ai"is in an unknown format and cannot be opened"
I receive that message when I try to open a new document. My others such as Photoshop and In Design are fine as far as I can tell.
I'm using CS4 on Windows 7.
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
You can try this:
Place the .ai file into InDesign then exported it as an .eps file and then open it on Illustrator.

Error The File "Print.ai" is in an unkown format and cannot be opened adobe Ilustrator 5.5
I am getting an error The File "Print.ai" is in an unkown format and cannot be opened adobe Ilustrator 5.5 on Mac OX 10.10.2 but was also the same in Mac Mavericks. any thoughts?
d,
In addition to what Larry said, there is a number of levels you can try for general issues, described in the following list. 1) and 2) are the easy ones, 3) is the basic preference file (irreversible procedure), 4) is the whole preferences folder (reversible and more thorough, needed for some issues), 6) is the full ultimate solution, 5) can be skipped in this case.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media, see below. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

I cannot open itunes. Getting error message: "the file iTunes library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes"
What do I need to do so I dont lose all my loaded music, etc.?
ThanksIf you still have an issue you may have to see about using the iTunes version (application) included with Snow Leopard 10.6 from the installer or an another one if available online, and see if that will install.
Sometimes you may have uninstall the bits left in your system by the earlier (or later) iTunes installers; as they all leave a trace and these can stop a different version of iTunes from being installed.
Not sure if the following site/link will tell the method...

Unable to open .eps file "unknown format and cannot be opened" ?
A client sent me an .eps file (logo). I tried opening it in Illustrator AND photoshop (just to see if it was saved in one vs the other program) - however to no avail.
Illustrator gives me a message "unknown format and cannot be opened"
Photoshop gives me a message "photoshop was unable to parse the postscript".
I'm using Adobe CS4, and I've never seen this message before—would love to know what this means and how to resolve?
File attached if anyone is able to open / fix it?
Thanks kindly,
ChemolThanks for the advice Scott - does compression improve the .eps? Is it
silly for me to ask them to compress it since the file is only 766 KB
(that's how big the attachment is in my email - though I am unable to open
it)?
My friend is able to open it on his end - however the 3rd person (client) is
the one who sent it, and I have already requested a different version - no
response from them yet. Unfortunately what the company "has" is what he
will likely give to me again (ie: same file / unable to open). So ... I am
curious about how I can resolve this issue on my end - if possible?
Do you know what the AI and Photoshop error messages mean? Could the issue
be a mac vs PC concern? Or is it a corrupt file? Could it be a software
version issue (old vs new) ... or Quark incompatibility?
.... just guessing at this point....Any insight as to what different
scenarios may apply in this situation would be greatly appreciated ..thank
you. -
Wma files getting error message the media being played is of an unsupported format
I have tried many methods of moving wma files from my pc to my 8310. Some work and others trigger the error message "the media being played is of an unsupported format" Why some work and other don't is mysterious to me.
See this KB for supported media formats:
KB05482 Media types supported on the BlackBerry smartphone
Now, that is for the native BB media player...if you are using this app you say you installed, then your query needs to be addressed to the app developer...
Hope that helps!

CS6 on Mac says .eps file is an unknown format and cannot be opened
Trying to open a logo sent by a client an PS, AI, and ID have all given me an error saying that .eps is an invalid format. It's the only logo file available from the client, so my options are limited. First time I've had an issue with this ever, so not entirely sure what troubleshooting steps to go through. I've tried opening it in CS5 as well and I've tried changing the file extension to make it recognizable.
Create a new file in Illustrator and then place the EPS in it (embedded). Maybe works.

Printing from Preview produces error message "The file couldn't be opened".
Hi,
Ever since the upgrade to OS X 10.8, I get the error message "The file couldn't be opened" each time I want to print from Preview. I just have to click "OK" and then everything prints fine, but if anyone knows how to get rid of this message, it would be even better!
I have run "Verify disk permissions" without success.
The system is on an SSD volume whereas my home volume is on an internal HD. But other users with (smaller) accounts residing on the system volume have the same problem.
Each time I open the print dialog, the following message appears in the logs:
com.apple.Preview.TrustedBookmarksService[2159]: Failure to de-serialize bookmark data file.
I removed files related to Preview in ~/Library/Preferences/
There is no *.plist file in ~/Library/Application Support/Preview
Thanks!Pages 5.2 Mac OSX 10.9.2
Start Pages app
Create a blank document
File > Save or <Command>+S
Select Mac Device and find your user folder or favorite, Desktop (not iCloud)
Error: the file "Untitled.pages" couldn't be opened!?!
Repeat giving the document a different name and it works
Since when do we write error messages with "n't"?
Usually a well written error message offers a suggestion as to what you might do about it?
Since it says opened and I clicked on Save, there is a bug in there somewhere.
All I was trying to do today was copy and paste some text from a website into numbers spreadsheet
Both Edit > Paste options but the text in one cell so I tried to save it as a text file first to try and import the data
Text Edit does not have a text only export format so before loading Terminal and starting vi or emacs, I tried pages. I'll go try XCode's editor or my Windows 7 vm with notepad and openoffice
I miss the old Pages with the Appleworks importer, this one needs more Quality Assurance Testing IMHO

Why do I get the error message: "The file "iTunes Library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTune." I am using iTunes9.1.1 which, I believe, is the highest for OS 10.4.11 ?
Hello,
Did you reinstall lately?
My 10.4.11 Drive seemes to have iTunes 7.6.2 on it, have you tried Software update to see if iTunes is listed?
Another 10.4.11 drive has iTunes 6.05 on it... I hate upgrading iTunes, seems worse at every upgrade.
The 10.5.8 drive I'm booted from now has iTunes 8.02 on it. -
I needed to upgrade my iTunes to register and sync a iPhone 5c. I upgraded by Apple Software and finally was able to download the upgraded iTunes. When I try to start iTunes I get this message, "The file iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. How can I repair this?

I had to do a system recovery with a prior date. now I get an error message: the file "iTunes.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Anyone have a solution?
I know this is an old thread, but the information in it solved my current problem (Windows Vista, upgraded to iTunes 11.2 and resulted in this same .itl error message).
So, I'm here to thank turingtest2 for his excellent instructions to fix my problem. One of tt2's many detailed instructional tips). THANK YOU TURINGTEST2!
PS I'm generally reluctant to "mess with files and such, preferring to use Windows Restore, because it just doesn't seem right to me that end users of Apple devices should have to get into the guts of files and such. Sadly, I have finally just accepted that iOS updates never work right and I either have to deal with work-around fixes or never update. Eventually we do need to update or there will be other problems. All I can say is, I'm sure glad there are folks like turingtest2 here who spend so much time helping us.
