Illustrator will not open certain files

Certain files that I created in Illustrator will not open when I try to open them. I try to open the file and the AI application opens but the file itself does not. If I right click on the file and select properties, under security it says I have no permissions. However on other files created at the same time I have permissions and they open in AI just fine. thoughts?

That is strange, but if this is on your work computer, your should probably contact your system administrator to set it so that you have permission to use these images.  If this is on your home computer, you should be able to change the permissions on your own.

  • Illustrator will not open my files! HELP!

    Hello,
    My Illustrator will not open my files. At first I will launch the program open a file then the timer just spins and spins as if its thinking but nothing ever happens. The menu on the dock says its not responding. If I leave it like that for about 2 hours it will eventually open. But when I work and save again I get the same thing, application is not responding unless I let it sit there for a few hours. I reinstalled the software and nothing seems to be working.
    Please help. This is wasting my time and very frustrating.
    Thanks;o)

    The files I am trying to open are standard CS3 .ai files... I'm not on a networked server. Its just my computer with my licensed software.
    I'm creating a website so there is some type and some placed images. But this problem happens even when I start a new file and draw an image with simple illustrator tools. Do you think I have corrupt preferences?

  • PS will not open .cr2 files

    PC crashed. After re-install my CS3 version of Bridge and PS will not open .cr2 files whereas they did open theses files prior to crash. Lightroom still able to open same files. Please guide me to answer as am doing wedding for daughter's friend in 2 weeks and now am sweating bullets. Is it drivers, camera (Canon 50D) or something else?
    TIA

    The Camera Raw plug-in does not follow the rules of computer literacy.
    I should have advised you to read the instructions on the download page.
    You have to delete or move out the original plug-in from:
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats
    And then place the downloaded version 4.6 in there.
    It will not overwrite the old one, which has to go!
    (To be certain of success, do a search for other instances of  the file Camera Raw.8bi and delete them.)

  • Fireworks will not open local files

    I use a Web Page to have students navigate to either web
    sites or local (c: drive) files for their classes. I cannot get
    Fireworks to open the local files, but I can create hyperlinks in
    Dreamweaver and they work fine. I am trying to create a popup menu!
    Hyperlink in Dreamweaver =
    file:///C|/mts/course/index_mts.html
    Placed in Fireworks popup menu, will not open the file.
    Any thoughts?

    Please note that Fireworks is an image/web graphic editing
    application, while Dreamweaver is a HTML authoring application.
    Fireworks cannot open HTML files, only Dreamweaver can open
    html files. Fireworks only exports simple HTML-generated for
    certain simple, basic pop-up menus. But it is not recommended,
    though. Best if you create menus in HTML/CSS around Dreamweaver
    than Fireworks.

  • I need to make a pdf document, made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

    I need to make a pdf document, already made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website as an e-brochure. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

    Hello waitingone,
    please try this (all terms are translated from my German programs to my best knowledge):
    1. Did the creator of the pdf file enable the import options?
    2. See import options: choose an other visibility option for your layer.
    3. Let you show the import options and click into one with a black background and try these out (often a gray is selected).
    4. See trimming: try the different modes there. Often works: "Media".
    5. Is the pdf file (eg from Word) correctly created?
    6. Is the PDF file protected? >>> no import possible.
    7. If that does not help, store the pdf file in Acrobat, repair possible errors, run the PDF Optimizer before placing in InDesign.
    Good luck!

  • Safari will not open pdf files.

    Safari will not open pdf files, instead I get a blank grey screen. How can I get a viewable and downloadable screen/file? Tried Alt/Option to view and it doesn't work either. Firefox and Chrome will not work either.

    For Mac check the Safari preferences.
    General to set the options for opening links from applications.
    Tabs to set the other options.
    Hold down the command key to open any link in a new tab.
    Sorry, gave up windows several years ago.

  • After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading.

    After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading. I have no special software like numbers or anything else installed on either device. Just using the default viewer provided by apple for viewing email.

    The attachment is an .xls excel 97-2003 spreadsheet. I viewed the file in the email and did not edit it with any software. I can forward the file to anyone that is may want to check it out to see if they can help me. I was wondering if there was some way of forcing another ios6 install on my phone and maybe that would solve it.
    Is there anyone out there that is viewing .xls files in email using ios6 w/o any other software installed like numbers or any other add ons? I am not upgrading my ipad from ios5 to ios6 so I can still continue to view the emails on my ipad. Is there an email viewer .xls plug-in that will be availablle in the next ios6 update?

  • CS 3.0.1 will not open InDesign files created in 2008  - it says a plug-in may be missing.

    My CS 3.0.1 will not open InDesign files created in 2008.  It says a plug-in may be missing.  I did have a computer crash since I last opened it.  I've tried changing the extension to inx, but that doesn't work.  I cannot get the file to open.  Can someone help?

    The OP is using CS. He/she could be trying to open CS2 or later.
    Simply changing the file extension will do know good and only an INX exported from CS2 will work.

  • Adobe reader will not open pdf files I have saved as, or, export as pdf to my desktop (latest Maverick). The same file does open when I am on the source website (i.e. user manuals etc.). Why?

    Make sure you have the latest Adobe Reader installed for your OS.

    Did you try using Preview. If you control click on the PDF on your desktop you can use the "open with" option.

  • Double-click in Files panel will not open a file

    Double-click in Files panel will not open a file. Instead
    alert message appears (I will translate from Czech): "Design notes
    are not allowed for this file. If you want to use Design notes...".
    I do not want use Design notes, I want to open a file from File
    Panel.
    The same issue is when opening by right-click/Open. The only
    (and unconfortable) way to open a file from Files panel is to
    right-click/Open in program/Dreamweaver, this works.
    Do you know why? help me, please, this disturbs me very much.
    I have clean installation of up to date CS3 Design Premium
    (Version 9.0 build 41) on WinXP SP2. Previous version of DW (v8)
    worked fine in this way. Associations in system are set OK, I
    think, because double-clicking in my file manager really opens for
    examle PHP files in DW.

    Also Drag & Drop from Files panel is not functioning.
    Sometimes neither alert appears, simply nothing happen.
    Note: I am trying usual files like PHP or HTML files, but
    also others (PDF, CSS) with the same result - nothing
    happens.

  • CS4 will not open NEF files. I installed DNG converter and it did not help.

    CS4 will not open NEF files. I installed DNG converter and it did not help. Also, I tried to just "update" photoshop and it did not work. It is a new camera (Nikon 1).

    Yes, you need CS6. DNG Converter is just a standalone tool to convert RAW to DNG files which then may be possible to open in older versions of Adobe tools.

    created by JimHess in Adobe Camera Raw - View the full discussionThank camera requires Camera Raw 8.6 which isn't compatible with Photoshop CS5. But you can download DNG converter 8.6 or newer and create digital negative (DNG) copies that will be compatible with Photoshop CS5.
