I have an illustrator file that I was working on yesterday and today I can't open it!
Hello,
I am working on some advertisements in illustrator and I am having a problem.
For the last week now I have been working on these advertisements and everyday I save it when I'm finishing to go home. I come back the next morning to open the file and keep on working and illustrator crashes as soon I attempt to open it. I have had the same problem when opening indesign and flash documents as well.
The only way I have been able to open these documents is to copy all of the documents in question and paste them onto a USB and make a new user on my computer (24in iMac 3.06GHz 4GB RAM running 10.6.2) and once the new user is created I can paste the items into the new user and then they open just fine BUT! If I work with this user for the rest of the day and come in the next day THIS USER can't open the files anymore. So the process starts all over again.
I don't know if this is relivant but we are currently running trail versions of CS4 because my employer doesn't want to purchase the software until I can prove to him its as useful as I say it is and this is not giving a good impression!
Thanks for any and all help
I suppose Wade was referring to some more global system settings being awry. Invalid timestamps would crash pretty much any app. This most often happens with wrong dates set on the server, but has known to also affect local files. Check, whether you are not timetravelling in teh future or way back in the past...

I saved a Pages doc yesterday and today I can't open it because I get a message that says "can't open doc because an index.xml file is missing." Help!
Pages v5 documents do not have an internal index.xml file. When you attempt to open one of these with the older Pages '09, you will get that dialog. Double-click the document icon, or right-click, and open with Pages v5 to access the document contents.

I'm not a "Cloud" member. I just upgraded to Lightroom 6 from Lightroom 5. All was working well yesterday. Today Lightroom will not open (Windows 7). I see the logo photo over my Lightroom platform but nothing loads and I see "Lightroom not responding." I checked the catalogs and see that lrcat-Journal and lrcat-Lock have been created every time I try to open. I have a backup from the first day I upgraded, but Lightroom doesn't want to access it. Should I reinstall?
Well, is the catalogue (and the folder it is in) writable? Have you actually checked the permissions? Lightroom won't be spitting out the error just to tick you off, and - computer wizard or not - this sounds very much like something you'll have to fix at the OS level: it's probably nothing to do with Lightroom or those funny lads at Adobe.

I have an iPhone 4 thats i was trying to fix and now it will not turn on at all is there anyway that i can access my pictures and contacts from my new phone or pc? Aslo the are both on the same apple id but i dont know if that would help or not.
Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes? If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created. -

hope you can find the sloution that will slove this problem
thanyouSorry to hear that the software update failed. Unfortunately, it sounds like you need to perform a software repair on your phone via Bridge for Mac.
Wait to connect the phone via USB cable to your Mac > In Bridge for Mac, click at Xperia > Repair Xperia device > Continue > Select your device.
Follow the instructions that appear on the screen to reinstall the software and complete the repair. Do not connect your phone until this guide tells you when and how to connect it.
Note that the phone should be powered off while doing this repair. Disconnect the phone from any kind of power source and hold down the ON/OFF + volume up(+) button for 5-10 seconds and you should force a shutdown.

A file I worked on yesterday now will not open. It says it needs the newest version. I am on 4.3 which I upgraded just the other day. OS is 10.9.4 Everything was fine yesterday.
You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac and are alternately opening the wrong one.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
Pages '09 can not open Pages 5, iOS 7 Pages, Pages for iCloud beta or iCloud files.
Pages 5 only runs on Mavericks and can not open Pages '08 or earlier files at all and alters/damages Pages '09 files, which once saved can not be opened by anything other than Pages 5.
Pages 5 files are in an odd compressed bundle, impossible to parse, which won't transfer via non-Apple servers. DropBox may have patched theirs, I haven't checked lately.
All Pages files, no matter what version or compatibility, have the same file extension: .pages.
Apple has removed over 110 features from Pages and many of the rest are buggy. They have confused their users and apparently themselves with the installations, upgrades and cross-transfers of files. Effectively Pages 5 files are only compatible with themselves in a very narrow range of hardware and software.

Fire fox is not launching at all. It was fine yesterday and today it's not opening at all.
I can't open firefox today. It was working fine last night and when I wanted to go on line today, it wouldn't launch. My Windows Explorer works but not firefox and firefox is my prefered browser. All my bookmarks etc are on this browser and I can't acces anything, no window, nothing.
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Firefox was working fine yesterday, but today it simply opens as a blank window. How can I fix this?
When I open Firefox, it appears as a blank, black window with nothing to click on. Everything was working normally last night. Problem only appeared this morning. I tried System Restore, but it failed to complete successfully.

I was told I could sync my music on my pc with my ipad2 by an apple agent. I hooked my ipad2 up to my pc and did so, but now I can not open any of my apps on my ipad2. when I try it just flickers and does not open. Can anyone help?
On you iPad, force close all the Apps in the multitask window.
Follow these steps to force an app to close:
From the Home screen, click the Home button twice.
Tap and hold on the app.
When it starts to jiggle, tap the to close it on by one until all cleared
Now do a Soft reset of your iPad:
Hold both Home and Sleep button for around 10secs until you see the Apple logo then release. After it returns to Home screen, try your Apps again and see if this resolves the issue. -
Hello
We recently installed version 10.8.3 to our 2 year old mac and now we could'nt open iphoto, it told us to install library upgrader, so we did and it still won't work. any suggestions.?
thank you in advanceit told us to install library upgrader, so we did and it still won't work.
And have you run the iPhoto Library Upgrader after you installed it? First run it, to prepare your iPhotLibrary for upgrading, and then launch iPhoto again to complete the upgrade of your library.

I am trying to record something on my desktop and I recorded it with an application called iscreen recorder lite. I downloaded it off of the application store thinking it would save under a file my computer would recognize. When I tried to play the recording back again, my computer tells me it cannot read the file and I should see if the formatting is right. I checked and the file is under .mov which should be supported by mac. Please help!
I have this exact same problem, only on Snow Leopard. What's the right answer?
Thanks, Mark -
Having trouble retrieving a word document,
I cant find my assignment anywhere on my Mac, and when i look at where i saved it, its like it has reverted back to when i first saved it, without all my work that i have completed.
Is there anyway that i can retrieve my work?Hey merodi,
I dont fully understand your problem here,
1. Did your computer shut down or 'die' or did you save and then you cant find it?
2. Have you tried looking in spotlight (little magnifying glass up the corner)
3. Have you tried opening the program again? In word and pages, if the program exited forcefully, opening it again will restore the document.
Maybe you are looking for
