Issues opening files

I down loaded an illustrator trial on a computer I was borrowing from a friend, saved my work as an editable pdf and now when I try to re-open the file on my computer it says this file was generated by the newest version and I may lose information when I try to open it. When It opens it only opens 1 of the 5 artboards. what is the problem? my illustrator says it is up to date with all updates.

Peter,
Do you have CC (with the latest update)?
Otherwise, you may update or download the same trial, then downsave to whatever you have.

  • Issue opening files.

    Hi,
    I've recently been having issues opening files from clients where I get a message telling me the file was created in a newer version of Adobe - this has occurred with both my InDesign CS6 and Illustrator CS6.  I have made sure the software is updated but the issue keeps coming up, can anybody offer any advice?

    Probably created in Adobe Creative Cloud.
    You can get a trial of Creative Cloud that will last 30 days - and see if you can open the files from there.
    It's always best to work on the same version of InDesign as the file was created in.

  • ODD new issue opening files from another network machine

    okay, my setup is kind of convaluted, but this is what I have: I made the switch to Mac last year, and do all of my processing on my Macbook Pro. It has CS5 on it.
    Because I havent been able to print properly from it (an alleged driver issue, wherein my images print with a 1/4" offset), I still print from a networked Windows Vista machine in the office--and because I hated the print dialogs in CS3 & CS4, I actually still print from PS CS2
    (I know, probably seems senseless, but it works best for me). Life has been peachy.
    Now for the issue:
    Suddenly, as of today, PS on the Windows machine wont open any jpg or psd on the Mac. If I copy/move it to the Windows desktop, it opens just fine. I either get a message saying it's "the wrong type of file," or--more bizarre, when I double click a file to open, I actually get the dialog box you get when you hit ctrl-N for a new document... and this happens the same in CS2, 3, & 4. Any clue as to what the heck I've got going on?
    thanks!

    This is the boilerplate text often used in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that normally, it does work, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
    If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please cease and desist immediately in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files. Working across a network is not supported.
    See: 
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406793.html
      Copy the CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
         Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work.   It should.
        Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
      If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
    When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.

  • Having issues opening files

    I have Windows 8 on my computer.  When trying to open files, it will not open; reads the file is corrupt.  I try opening up file using another computer system and it opens without any issues.  What can I do to fix this issue? I need to be able to open and save files on system. 
    Thanks.

    Could you provide more information about the problem?
    On Windows 8, what is the version of Reader that failed to open the PDF file?
    What is the operating system of your other system?
    On the other system, what is the version of Reader that opened the same PDF file successfully?
    Would you share the PDF file with us at [email protected]?  We should be able to diagnose the problem and suggest a fix or workaround once we take a look at the PDF file.

  • Issues Opening Files in Network Share

    Hello,
    I'm hoping someone can help me with this issue I'm having,
    I use a Windows 7 desktop at my office and I have a Network Share on a Windows 2008 Server where I save all my documents and file I work on each day.
    I use my Macbook Air when I'm working at my other office and when I'm traveling.
    My issue is this,
    I setup and able to connect to my Network Share and see all my folders and files. Although if I try to open a file it tells me it can't find the file even though I used Finder to browse right to the file and double clicked on the file. I can copy the file locally to my MacBook, work on the file and then copy it back to the Network Share.
    From me testing different things this is what I have found,
    It's only Word, Excel and Powerpoint documents that don't open from the Network Share. - I do have Microsoft Office 2011 Mac installed
    TXT & PDF Files open just fine from the Network Share.
    I doesn't matter if it's Word, Excel or Powerpoint files created on my Windows 7 desktop or my Macbook Air, once it's moved to Network Share I can't open it.
    This is where it gets really confusing, other Network Shares I can open the Excel & Word files right from the Network Share, it's just my personal Network Share and I put in the right username and password for my Network Share since I can open the TXT & PDF files just fine.
    I'd appricate any help with this issue.
    Thanks in advanced - Jonathan

    I have the same problem and i'm not the only one @ my office. seems that everybody who uses mac in our office has the same problem. So could anybody give any advice how to solve this problem? Do we need to configure shared folders on server or just our macs?

  • Working Color type always CMYK? Issue opening files in flash

    I have illustrator CS3. The problem is I create a web document, set to rgb colour, I can view proof colours on monitor to see how it looks as jpeg, thats fine. The issue is when importing an AI file into flash it uses cmyk colours? Why is this? Is illustrator stuck in CMYK mode no matter what for AI Files? I notice in view > proof setup > working cmyk is ALWAYS shown here, whether you tick it or not.
    Is there no way to import AI files as rgb for flash web use then?

    > Its not an image im importing into flash.
    Really?
    > The issue is when importing an AI file into flash...
    Okay. Perhaps then, in the future, you should be more clear about exactly what it is you're trying to do versus what you've done and what exactly the problem is.
    > It changes the colour a lot, to more like cmyk,
    So is it
    like CMYK or
    is it CMYK?
    > Obviously not a lot of people importing AI files into flash...
    Absolutely correct. Three, maybe four people import AI files into Flash. Since so few people do that, the likelihood of finding one of those very few people would increase significantly if you went to the Flash forum.
    > this pointless post
    Turned out that way, didn't it?

  • Dual Monitor issue - Open file to 2nd monitor?

    I have a dual monitor setup in Windows 7 and like to work with all the tool panels and PS main window on the left monitor and the photo open full screen on the right. I have tried saving the workspace with the image open full screen on the right monitor, but no matter what I try, everytime I open/re-open a file, it loads on the left monitor behind the tool panels. I then have to press F5 to mnimize some tool panels, then grab and drag the image window to the right screen. Then I have to press the F key to maximize the image window and F5 to restore the tool panels. This is my routine everytime I open a file. There has to be a better way! I have tried things like reseting to the default workspace, moving the PS window and tool panels to the right screen, but it seems the placement of a newly opened document must be hard-coded to open in the main PS window, no matter what the user has setup. 

    Yeah, this is annoying as hell.
    In CS3, if you dragged an image to your second monitor all subsequent images would open up there. I'll leave my snarky, sarcastic comments about the wisdom of this new "feature" for another time. What might end up working you is putting the image on your monitor of choice (along with the app frame and the menu bar) and dragging the tool palettes to the other monitor. That's what I'm doing now and it's taking some getting used to but fortunately, once you drag over the tool box and the layer stack, everything else tool-related seems to open up there OK. The images stay on the other screen (for the most part).
    All things considered, it still sucks... but when you only have one choice, the decision is easy to make.

  • Issue opening files from Network Share

    We have a new windows 7 PC x64 with Illustrator CS6, when we open a file from our server share, it only utilises 25% of the available network bandwidth to open the file. 
    On an older XP 32 bit machine it utilises the full bandwidth ie 100% so the file opens up to 6 times faster. 
    When I copy the file from the network to either machine  machine it copies fine and uses 99% of the network speed. 
    What can I do to my new machine to speed the transfer of data in illustrator?

    General advise on working directly on a server using Illustrator: Don't

  • Magic Mouse-issue opening files in Preview

    Previous mightly mouse allowed me to open desktop files in Preview with one click. Magic mouse requires a right click to open menu and then click on 'Preview'.  Am I missing something?

    I doubt it was ever with one click.  Should have been a double click.  And that translates into a left click in a "2-button" mouse which basically a MM is (unless extended with various utilities).  So do a Finder Get Info on one of the documents in question.  Look at the Get info's "Open with" section and set the popup menu accordingly.  Click Change All button.  Now when you double click all such files it will open with the selected application.
    Note you maight also want to check you mouse system preferences to confirm the "secondary" (right) click is indeed defined as being on the right.

  • Problems opening files via 'File - Open/cmd-O' in Photoshop CC 2014 after Yosemite installation

    I upgraded to Yosemite on Friday and shortly after, I noticed that when attempting to open multiple files, after I've opened a few files (it's not a set amount, sometimes happens on the 3rd file, sometimes on the 6th etc) I get the error message 'could not complete your request because of a program error' - the only way out of this is to quit Photoshop and restart which is obviously very frustrating and time consuming!
    I spent some time on live chat to Adobe yesterday and we deleted settings, preferences, uninstalled, reinstalled, moved Colour settings folder to desktop but nothing worked. I have a call scheduled with Adobe to go through lots more tests at the end of the week as I've been advised this isn't a global issue but I thought I'd post on here in the meantime to see if anybody had any thoughts as to what could be causing this. After speaking to Adobe, I have since realised that even after getting this error message, I can still drag files to the PS icon and open them that way - I have just opened 20 files this way with no error message, it's just when I used the File-open/cmd O method (my usual way of working) to open files that is happens.
    It was all fine before installing Yosemite and I am on the very latest CC 2014 version (this problem does not happen in the CC version incidentally, only the 2014 version - so I'm using that as a workaround for now).
    I also had issues opening files in Illustrator on Friday, I was unable to open files using file - open/cmd O (nothing happened after I clicked it, but I got no error message), again, I had to drag the file to the AI icon in the dock to open it but that seems to be ok now even though I haven't changed anything with the Illustrator application - just thought I'd mention it incase it was related!
    If anybody can help, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

    Glad it's not just me!
    Interestingly, when I spoke with Apple, I tried it in a new user account and the problem went away. Apple said to speak to Adobe which I have done and after deleting settings/prefs again the problem remained. Adobe say as it's fine in a new account then it's an Apple issue not Adobe.
    I did find a workaround for now though, when using file - open, set it to list view instead of column view - this fixed my problem but sadly I'm used to working in column view so it's not ideal!
    I also got the same error message when trying to replace a set of brushes yesterday too. I need to go back to Apple now but just need to schedule some time to sit and troubleshoot!

  • The latest issue of Pages for iPad: 1. Very slow. 2. Late in reacting to typing. 3. When I go to a specific file, informs me that some images were deleted and therefore file has been changed. Then when OPEN option used, opens file slowly. Please, help!

    What I have to do to correct the following problems with Pages app. For iPad:
    Hesitates to display results of typing, some times for 5-6 characters;
    Very slow in opening files;
    Before opening of a specific file displays message: DOCUMENT DETAILS. SOME CHANGES WERE MADE TO YOUR DOCUMENT. SOME IMAGES ARE MISSING BECAUSE THEY WERE DELETED FROM YOUR DOCUMENT. We'll, nothing is missing. But it takes forever to open this file. The previous issue of Pages worked very good. But they would not let me to go back to it. Please, help!

    Tmobile did the exact same thing to me. So that is customer service at work in general. Nice try though lol.
    To the OP
    I see you said You paid for shipping, did you Insure it? Claim insurance on it. If you did not, It may not be Verizon or your fault in the sense of the phone not making it to the warehouse. There are people out in the postal world that will steal phones that are not insured. It could have been a Verizon employee, i suppose.
    But, if this was to be a bought in court, if you shipped it with out insurance, sadly your at fault.
    Do you still have the Serial number of your old phone? If so, you should be able to track where your phone is (if it is reported as a defect/damaged) If so, you may be able to use that as proof. If it does not show up as a defect or what ever they determine use as a loss, then you know it did not make it to the warehouse to be checked in. I would suspect Apple or Verizon could tell you what the Serial number came up as.

  • Issue opening .cp files in Captivate 5

    Good evening,
    I am having issues opening some of our .cp files in Captivate 5. We are currently in the process of converting .cp -> .cptx -> HTML5. I handful of project files, when trying to open, this is what I get:
    Just to clarify;
    The file is not open already
    I have more than enough hard drive space
    CPU usage, as well as RAM usage is less than 25%
    They are reading as .cp files, and this isn't the only file that is doing this
    Any help would be greatly appreciated regarding what might be going on.
    Regards,
    Geoffrey

    I found a workaround. If I open in Captivate 3, overwrite the file, then resave, it seems to open fine in Captivate 5. Ultimately, I wish there weren't so many hoops to jump through just to get these bad boys converted to HTML5. The process now is;
    Open .cp in Captivate 3
    Save in Captivate 3
    Open .cp in Captivate 5
    Save as .cptx
    Open .cptx in Captivate 7
    Publish to HTML5
    Save in Captivate 7
    Is there an easier way to this process?

  • Ocrfile is not being written to.  open file issues.  Help please.

    I've been troubleshooting an open file issue on our Test environment for quite a while now. Oracle has had me update to latest CRS bundle for 10.2.0.3, then upgrade to 10.2.0.4, then two more patches via OPatch to bring 10.2.0.4 RAC to it's most recent patch. None of these patches resolved our problem. We have ~8700 datafiles in the database and once the database is started, we're at ~11k on Production but on Test we're at ~37K or higher. It takes 1-2 days to hit the 65536 limit before it crashes. I have to 'bounce' the database to keep it from crashing. Yes, I could raise the ulimit but that isn't solving the problem.
    Over the weekend I noticed that on Production and DEV, the ocrfile is being written to constantly and has a current timestamp but on Test, the ocrfile has not been written to since the last OPatch install. I've checked the crs status via 'cluvfy stage -post crsinst -n all -verbose' and everything comes back as 'passed'. The database is up and running, but the ocrfile is still timestamped at April 14th and open files jump to 37k upon opening the database and continue to grow to the ulimit. Before hitting the limit, I'll have over 5,000 open files for 'hc_<instance>.dat, which is where I've been led down the path of patching Oracle CRS and RDBMS to resolve the 'hc_<instance>.dat bug which was supposed to be resolved in all of the patches I've applied.
    From imon_<instance>.log:
    Health check failed to connect to instance.
    GIM-00090: OS-dependent operation:mmap failed with status: 22
    GIM-00091: OS failure message: Invalid argument
    GIM-00092: OS failure occurred at: sskgmsmr_13
    That info started the patching process but it seems like there's more to it and this is just a result of some other issue. The fact that my ocrfile on Test is not being written to when it updates frequently on Prod and Dev, seems odd.
    We're using OCFS2 as our CFS, updated to most recent version for our kernel (RHEL AS 4 u7 -- 2.6.9-67.0.15.ELsmp for x86_64)
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    I was having an issue opening a spreadsheet with the file extension .xlsm. This appears as an attachment from a client which means macros were utilized when creating the spreadsheet. The problem lies in. The iPads ability to open the attachment. I downloaded the numbers app thinking this would be a default software to open any and all spreadsheets.
    Please Help!
    Ipad 2- iOS5

    You may need a version without macros on it. Unfortunately, pretty much all apps are skinned down versions of their original program, often with less functionality. For example in a word document I can italicize,bold and underline, but I only have a handful of fonts to play with and I don't think I can insert tables or images.
    It is very possible that the app simply cannot run macros, which means that document may never work on an iPad.
