InDesign CS6 - Error opening files

I have been using InDesign CS6 with Windows 8 for over a year, and today when I opened the program and attempted to open one of the recent files I got this error message:
"Either the file does not exist, you do not have permission, or the file may be in use by another application"
I did not do any udpates, or anything differently than I have been when saving, etc. but I cannot seem to open any of the files i had previously saved with this program. I have tried everthing I can think of, including a reset but still no luck. Any suggestions?

Usual troubleshooting might be to delete any .lck files in the document's folder (if there are any) or to reset InD prefs.
Besides that, sometimes on-access virus scan can make a file busy for a short period of time after selecting a file.

Indesign cs6 wont open files

When I attempt to open a .indd file the file will not open and it creates 1000's of temp file in the foldere the files resides. Indesign itself open however. This has only started happening.

Operating System?
How do you open the file? Does this happen with all files? Can you create a new file and save it? Will it reopen?
Where are the files stored?
Does it happen if you create a new user account and log in on that?

Ok i have indesign CS6 and all files are stored on a 10.7.5 MAC server. This just started happening. When I open a file indesigns is creating a textfile in the same folder? I need some help on this.

Ask in the ID forum and be much more specific about your configuration. there could be any number of reasons why manifests, temp files or restore files are created.

Can I use InDesign cs6 to open and work with PM6.5 files?

Can I use InDesign cs6 to open and work with PM6.5 files?

It should be much easier to re-link in the Pagemaker file, as, with any luck, you can get the filenames from the Graphics Manager. After conversion to InDesign, any out-of-date linked images get their names converted to something like "image 123.jpg", and are themselves converted to an embedded low res representation of the image. Even vectored art. Pretty hard to figure them out, unless you are VERY familiar with the file, which you may be.
It may be that any cropping gets lost, too? I do prepress work, we do some set up for our customers, but most comes in pretty much ready to go, so I don't often have to did too deep into fixing such issues. On the other hand, any problem that can happen has probably crossed my desk, or it seems that way some days!

Snow Leopard 10.6.2 CS4 InDesign can't open files with a "#" in file path

Snow Leopard 10.6.2 CS4 InDesign can't open files with a "#" in file path using any of these perfectly normal methods:
1. double-click file in the Finder (e.g in a Folder on your Mac or on your Mac desktop etc.)
2. select file and choose "File... Open" command-o in the Finder
3. drag file to the application icon in the Finder.
4. Select file in Bridge and double-click, choose File.. Open.. or Drag icon to InDesign icon in dock.
If you try to open an ID file named with a "#", you will get an error message "Missing required parameter 'from' for event 'open.'"
This happens to any InDesign file that has a "#" (pound sign, number sign, or hash) in the filename or in the file path (any parent folder).
To reproduce
Name an InDesign file Test#.idd Try to open it in the Finder or Bridge (as opposed to the "Open" dilaog of InDeisng itself).
"Solution"
The file WILL open using File... Open... command-o while in InDesign application.
Rename the file or folders that have a "#" (shift-3) in the filename.
Report to Adobe if it bugs you.
This does not occur in "plain" Leopard 10.5 nor Tiger 10.4
Untested in Panther or before and
Untested with CS3 and earlier in Snow Leaopard.
Anyone have those and want to try this... ?

In case this really bothers you: we've added a workaround for this into Soxy. If you enable the option, these documents will open fine on double-click.
You need Soxy 1.0.7 from:
http://www.rorohiko.com/soxy
Go to the 'Soxy' - 'Preferences' - 'Other' dialog window, and enable 'Open InDesign via Script'
(Irrelevant background info (it's all invisible to the user): the workaround works by special-casing how Soxy opens documents in InDesign: instead of using AppleScript, Soxy will use ExtendScript to instruct InDesign to open the document - which works fine).

InDesign CS6: Errors encountered during installation.

I am trying to install InDesign CS6 using the Adobe Application Manager. I have tried searching the forums and google for the error codes/descriptions, and the only solution I have found (from an adobe support page) is "try installation again." I have tried several times, including running as administrator. Any assistance would be most helpful!

Java.util.zip ZipException Error Opening File

I have code that uploads a file in my strut then i change its extension to .zip and want to extract that file.
(please note that the file is create under zip and renamed as .xtr before upload, when user uploads it we change its name to zip. I am telling here so that u can see there s nothing wrong with the file. Soem how, I can also extract it from windows. )
when my code runs, and it tried to read entries in the enumeration, it says "error opening file". I am not posting the code because, I hve used many examples and it has nothing to do with the code.
My problem is as i mentioned above, my files` name is changed may be its handler doesnt quiet. more over i hve tried the code with upload a zip file. After upload it says the same.
Can any one provide me a clue to move around ??

when my code runs, and it tried to read entries in
the enumeration, it says "error opening file". I am
not posting the code because, I hve used many
examples and it has nothing to do with the code. Then I would suggest you fix your code to tell you what the error is. Printing the stack trace would be a good start.

Error opening file/URL reference by alias and Administrative limit exceeded

Hello All,
Problem:
SMTP Error: 4.5.0 error opening file/URL reference by alias
and
Search failed with: netscape.ldap.LDAPException: error result (11); Administrative limit exceeded
Here is my configuration:
Windows 2000 server (without Active Directory)
SP4
Iplanet Messaging Server 5.2
Netscape Directory Server 4.16
IPlanet Messaging Server 5.2 Hotfix 1.09 (built Jan 7 2003)
We have a group which we use to flash messages to all the users of the mail server. Till last week it was working fine but now I am not able to send messages to this group <group-name>.
There are around 800 (Eight Hundred) E-mail id the messaging server and the flashed message is supposed to go to all 800 + users.
Note: I have another group of 300 users and I am able to send an E-mail to this group of 300 users.
I am using Dynamic Group for Members list.
The error message I get while trying to send message to this group is
SMTP Error: 4.5.0 error opening file/URL reference by alias.
The corresponding error in mail.log file is
30-Jan-2004 10:55:21.40 41c.7e4.1098 tcp_intranet J 0 <group-name>@domain rfc822; <group-name>@domain domain (localhost [127.0.0.1]) 452 4.5.0 error opening file/URL referenced by alias: <group-name>@domain
Now when I construct and Test the LDAP URL from Console, the error I get is:
Search failed with: netscape.ldap.LDAPException: error result (11); Administrative limit exceeded
I have increased the various limits but I still get the same error when I send mail to that group or do a LDAP Test:
The deafult and new limits are:
Sizelimit: Default 2000 New 10000
Timelimit Default 3600 New 3600
Lookthroughlimit Default 5000 New 6000
The corresponding error entry in access log of slapd is:
30/Jan/2004:12:19:26 +051800] conn=34 op=213 RESULT err=11 tag=101 nentries=0 etime=2 notes=U
My search for Administrative limit problem and error opening file/URL error in Sun forum and other groups did get some hits but that did not solve my problem.
I will appreciate any suggestion/comments.
Thanks and Regards,
Maneesh Bisht

Thanks Jay.
My problem has been fixed.
Your suggestion was to increase the lookthrough limit. As you would have noticed in my posting that I had increased this limit to 6000 but that did not solve my problem. Today I increased this limit to 10000. And after that I did not get "administrative limit exceeded" error. Also I do not get "error opening file/URL reference by alias" error while sending E-mail to a particular group of 800+ ids.
Regards,
Maneesh Bisht

JRE Command Line Install - Error Opening File Java3BillDevices.jpg

IE gives "Error opening file" for Sound while it runs fine on Chrome

Is there something with Adobe and IE compatibility ?
When I run a package in Chrome , my audio and video both work fine
Same package when run in IE , video runs fine but the sound gives "Error opening file"

What type of media file? Can you post a link to the problem page online?
HTML5 audio and video is supported by most browsers if you include the proper file types?
MP3 audio
OGA audio

Error Message: "Error opening file"

Hi Everyone,
I've just started using SpeedGrade, so I'm not particularly familiar with it, but I have managed to get it working in the past. However recently I am being presented with the following error message, no matter what I try.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the programming (including deleting the preferences folder from my Documents folder).
I have also tried accessing the files directly in SpeedGrade and through Premiere Pro.
The files I'm using are all Quicktime (.mov) files, 1280 x 720, 50fps. I have tried converting them to DPX Image sequences.
None of the above attempts have made any difference.
I am using a MacBook Pro (Early 2011) | 2.0GHz Quad-Core i7 | 4GB (2 x 2GB DDR3 1333MHz) | AMD Radeon HD 6490M | 1680 x 1050 Display, 32-bit colour.
I would greatly appreciate any support on this matter, as I am on a deadline to complete this project.

Having similar problems with SpeedGrade. Had been playing around with SG for a few weeks and it was working great and seemed to be a nice color grade solution so I decided to give it a go for a project I'm working on. Now, it doesn't open any movie files. I have Canon 7D footage and the same clips transcoded with Cineform in a separate folder that are found when browsing the desktop tab in SG. But recently, SG shows the files without thumbnails resulting in no clip previews and, any attempts to add clips to timeline shows "error opening file" in monitor panel. Also, all clips drop into the timeline with a duration of 1 frame. Of course all of my clips are much longer than one frame.
I am able to open, playback and edit any of these files with full functionality in Premiere Pro, Bridge, Quicktime, & Finder.
I am using MacBookPro Retina/ThunderboltDisplay.

Error opening file problem

Hello. I am trying to get my first podcast going. I am using Podbean and itunes. I had everything up and running but didn't have the image on it I had created. So, with the help of the forum, I went through Podbean and got it done...and the image shows up on itunes now.
BUT, now the podcast wont play (it did previously in both itunes and Podbean). It wont play on itunes and when I go to Podbean to play it says "error opening file."
Can anybody tell me what I can do to get it back? Or redo it? Thx!

There is no file at this address. These redirects are always a dodgy idea: iTunes is complaining that it can't find a file at the first URL, so the redirection may not be working for it even if there was a file at the second address. It's preferable to give it a direct URL to the file: but in any event you need to go looking for it as it's not where it should be.

Error Opening File

Apparently I am the only person in the world having this problem but so far speedgrade is working if I bring a file in from Premiere Pro but If I try to bring one from the desktop I get a placeholder graphic "error opening file" there are also no thumbs showing in the file view.(there are thumbs for the .thm files in the same folder)The files are .h264 mov's from a Canon T2i

Hey,
to be clear - are those canon t2i mov's files that comes out from the canon directly, or do it went through any convert process?
> On which operating sytem are you working?
> the files have .mov ending?
> do you have the latest quicktime player installed?
> make sure to set Filter to 'All Files or Movie Formats' in the Desktop Panel of SG
Speedgrade is reading the thumbs directly out of the QT file, so THM files are not needed.
Please attache a screenshot from the Desktop Panel, when browsing to the clips, also a screengrab from the placeholder.
Thanks,
Duy-Anh

Cannot download Flash Player 10 due to - Error opening file for writing: Flash10d.ocx

Hello all,
I am having difficulty installing Flash Player 10. I open it up, and only 10% of the download bar finishes before I get the message:
"Error opening file for writing:
C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash10d.ocx"
I am running Windows Vista with Internet Explorer, although I'm not 100% sure which version of IE it is and haven't found out how to check. I have McAfee for security, but I have already tried disabling the Firewall with no success.
My computer is new, so there's a chance that it already has Flash Player 10 on it since it belonged to someone else before it came to me, but I don't know how to check that either.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Let me clarify:
I have already tried disabling the firewall and running the installer again, but it didn't work.

"error opening file" on html files

I have an existing site with several html files that edge code displays an "error opening file... the file could not be read" alert on. These html files display fine, and open in my other text/html editors.

Yep -- unfortunately it's a known issue that Edge Code and Brackets don't support encodings other than UTF-8 yet. Please add your vote here: https://trello.com/c/DShzQztM/731-support-non-utf-8-encodings
