Missing file causes save/open problems

I saved an existing document with a new name and got an error message "cannot save file bulletLight.pdf"
I can identify this file (it's a bullet graphic) but cannot get it to save .. have tried adding it as a graphic, putting it in the folder etc.
Help - I have a document I am working on urgently that I cannot save ...... ideas? Thanks

Thanks Dennis this did - and didn't - work! Copying the pages into a new blank document using the same template didn't work (very illogically since the file would have been in the template at creation). I then tried saving a new new blank template just adding a page at a time and identified a page that was causing the grief. Oddly again, this page used the offending bullet graphic and it was visible on the page - but once it was inserted into the new doument it caused the save failure. Obviously v frustrating.
I'm sending a link to this thread to the good guys who created the template to see if they can throw any light .....

File dialog (Save, Open, Export, etc.) does not appear in Firefox

Hello,
I am having a very similar problem to the one described in this link ...
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/990487?esab=a&as=aaq
... and I can provide some additional information.
In my case, the issue is not isolated to saving a file (although, that is where I first noticed it). It is definitely an issue with trying to display the common File dialog - be it for saving a file from a link, or File -> Save Page As, or File -> Open File, or Bookmarks -> Show All Bookmarks -> Import and Backup (to/from HTML), etc., etc.
Here are the things I have already tried (not necessarily in this order):
Uninstall/Reinstall
Safe Mode
New Profile
Disabled Anti-Virus/Firewall
Reset Firefox
I also tried regressing to v27.0.1, and still saw the same (mis)behaviour. I am totally perplexed.
Any help/insight you can provide will be greatly appreciated! :-)

Yes. Sorry, I should have mentioned that there have been several reboots involved during the troubleshooting.
I am running Firefox in an admin level account in this case - so, there shouldn't be any permission issues there.
I have tried shutting down both the desktop firewall software, and the anti-virus, and the problem still persists exactly as described. (Obviously, I disconnected the system when I did that [smile].)
All other software on the system that I have tried, interacts with the file dialog just fine ... so, I don't think it is anything central like some corruption associated with the file dialog itself.
As I said, it is most perplexing.

Resize windows and manage files in save/open dialogs?

1. How to resize windows by dragging any border or corner?
2. How to manage files via a Save/SaveAs or Open dialog (rename, delete, copy other files, etc...)?
My search on these two things only comes up with comparisons and debates about Win vs Mac. Not relevant to the questions! I already run Win XP in Fusion when I have to for work. I don't want to run Windows; I just want to eliminate a couple Mac shortcomings since Apple hasn't. Yet. Maybe it has to do with patents...
Anyway, does anybody know of a utility or other way to enable these functions in Mac OS 10? (I've tried Pathfinder; it doesn't quite do the trick.)

I believe you will find a couple of third-party utilities that provide some enhancements for windows. As for file dialogs I can only recommend Default Folder X. You will find these at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

How to advoid Pdf attached files turning into winmail.dat file causing incovinience opening them? And why does the phone automatically changes the file???

The first time i opened the mail, the mail loaded the attactment as pdf file and i was able to open it without any problems. But then when i tried to open it again, i watched the phone automatically turned the pdf file into winmail.dat without any of my control. Since then, i werent able to open the file anymore! And this was lucky that i was able to see it as pdf file - all other attachments i have recieved since using my new ip6 all turn into winmail.dat
this is really incovinient and frustrating for work. i cant believe i cannot just open a pdf file as a pdf file on my ip6 in the emails i recieve. I was on ip4 before this and never have anything like this happened.
Solution needed asap please.
Thankyou!

Hi Jnkm,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your new iPhone 6. If you are getting a winmail.dat file instead of a PDF, you may want to see if it may be the issue noted in the following article:

10g Report to file causes unix permission problems

I'm in the process of testing out one of the new options of 10g reports to have a report run from the command line and have the results file sent to a Unix directory for further use.
Here is a sample of my run:
http://myserver:port/reports/rwservlet?server=myreport_server+report=myreport.rep+userid=userid/pswd/@db+desformat=pdf+destype=file+desname=/tmp/my_report.pdf
The results I see in the Unix directory are:
rw-r--- 1 oracle dba my_report.pdf
With the Unix permission set to 640, how does a user outside of the owner or group read this file. Is there a setting in a 10g environment variable somewhere to set the permissions to 644 so others can read the file?
Thanks,
Tom Vereecke

Unfortunately i couldn't open your example as i only have LV 6.0, but i looked at the 'Save report to File.vi' in LV 6.0 and it basically only contains a 'Write characters to file.vi' for file handling. In LV 6.0 this vi does contain a 'Close file+.vi' which has an input called 'close when? (now:T)'. Make sure this is wired as True (default) and the file will close, and you should be able to delete the file (as long as the delete event occurs afterwards (make sure it is wired in sequence). In the LV help, it says the reason for the 'Write characters to file.vi' only closing if you tell it to (set as default) or if there is an error is so you can continually use it in a loop, writing characters to file, without closing, and then send a command to close
it only on the last loop, or if there is an error. Therefore i dont think it is a bug, but i think there should be a wire for it on the 'Write characters to file.vi'.
I hope this helps you..

FCP X 10.1 Missing Files

I have a series of instructional videos I'm working on and they all appear as MISSING FILES when I open the Library associated with each project, everything was working fine on friday, THIS is very strange- When I try to Relink the missing files nothing happens, ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED -
It's recognising the relative file paths to the Original Media folder in the Library - but when I try to reconnect I CANT BECAUSE THE .fcpbundle Library file wont let me access the Original media folder- please help or Im switching to FCP 7 or Avid

Sorry about last post, the Files were appearing as MISSING PROXY (not MISSING FILES as stated) - which is still annoying - but it seems to me that FCP X doesn't like working with native H264, and hence has somehow rid itself of the link files in the library to the actual media (as I did not transcode on import)
As a workaround I have transcoded the H264 files using File>Transcode (Proxy) and this seems to be working
It would, however, be great to be able to edit the originals without transcoding... and not have to transcode at all.
In the meantime I will use the newly generated proxy's - export an xml > grade to original files in da vinci and round trip back to FCP X using ProResHQ and then export a MASTER file.

Upon firefox update this morning, every window opens with error: CaptureMovieFox could not be initialized. Some files of the extension may be missing or there is a problem with the Firefox.

upon firefox update this morning, every window opens with this error in a popup: ''CaptureMovieFox could not be initialized. Some files of the extension may be missing or there is a problem with the Firefox.''
when I close the popup, the original window opens seemingly without issue.

visit this and find the compatible version of this f***ing firebug. which certainly has nothing to do with us (not-programmers). i have been having this problem for months but now the last link worked for my firefox 6. Find yours here.

A client has sent me an indesign file I cannot open. She says she has updated to Indesign CC 2014. I am a CC member and fully updated my own software but cannot open the file she has sent me, not even if she saves as an IDML, how do I resolve the problem?

There are a few things to try.
First, if this file came to you vial email attachment, it could have been corrupted. Ask her to zip the file and send it again. That sometimes helps.
I suppose there's a chance that the file is already zipped, so see if that's the case and unzip it if so.
If the file name doesn't end with .indd, add it and see if that helps.
If you are double-clicking, try File>Open from within InDesign.
Last (and I know this sounds like a joke, but I've seen it many times), sometimes people attach a Mac Alias or Windows Shortcut instead of the actual file. What is the file size? If it's really small, that might be the reason.
Also, no offense intended if some of this sounds like stuff you have already tried. I don't know what you know, so I'm just spit-balling.

'File is already' open error in Excel, recent problem with ddeexec

We are getting an increasing frequency of errors when opening Excel files at my company. Our employees all use W7 SP1 32-bit and Office 2010 Pro Plus. We store files on a Windows 2008 R2 SP1 File server. The errors have occurred a lot in
the last 2-3 weeks, but weren't a problem before then as far as we know.
The error we are seeing is when you double-click to open an Excel file, you get the following message: "<file name> is already open. Reopening will cause any changes you made to be discarded. Do you want to reopen <file name>?"
When you open Excel first and then open the Excel file, the error message does
not occur.
If you have Excel open and double-click the file to open it, the error message does
not occur.
This only occurs when Excel is closed and you double-click the file to open it. There appears to be an issue with 'dde'
If you click 'Yes' to the error, the file will reopen and you can make edits normally & save changes. This error doesn't happen with all Excel files on our network. I think it may have to do with linked data. Some of these Excel files
look up to data on an Access database, for example. The database itself isn't 'open' by any user and neither is the Excel file. This isn't a 'file in use' problem.
I can hack the registry (see below) to get the error to go away (removing dde), but I'm looking for a more sustainable fix.
How do I get these errors to stop popping up?
I have tried Repair install of Office on a few machines with no success. When the issue occurs on a particular file, you can reproduce it on a different client. That is, it doesn't seem to be client-specific although you can 'fix' it by changing
how files open on the client machine. Again, this has been an error we are seeing a lot in the last 2-3 weeks.
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.Sheet.12\shell\Open]
@="&Open"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.Sheet.12\shell\Open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office14\\EXCEL.EXE\" /e \"%1\""
"command"=-
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.Sheet.12\shell\Open\ddeexec]

The "Ignore applications that use DDE" checkbox was already cleared. Just to see what would happen, I tried selecting it and it gives this error when I try to open the file:
There was a problem sending the command to the program.
That is, if the "Ignore apps that use DDE" checkbox is selected, the file doesn't try to open twice, but it gives the above error and opens once.
(I know this isn't what you asked me to do, but I wanted to give you this information in case it was of any help.)
I am using Windows 7 and the File Types tab from Folder Options does not exist in W7. I did dig into the registry and adjusted the Open command for .xlsx files and removed "%1" as a test. This allowed me to open the file with no errors.
Working registry entry:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.Sheet.12\shell\Open\command]@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office14\\EXCEL.EXE\""
I also tried replacing "%1" with /dde. This also allowed me to open the file with no errors.
Alternative working registry entry:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.Sheet.12\shell\Open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office14\\EXCEL.EXE\" /dde"
This still doesn't fix the root of the problem. This only started happening 3-4 weeks ago and the only fixes we've found so far are registry edits. I'd rather not have to push out these registry hacks to the entire company. The root problem
needs to be addressed!
UPDATE: the /dde didn't appear to permanently fix anything > Excel reverted back to having %1 at the end of the registry key

Error opening document: missing file

I have a Pages template that has started opening up with the following error box:
The following errors occurred while trying to open this document:
Missing file: businesscircles_logosgrey.pdf
When I hit "continue", the document (template) opens up fine and appears to be missing nothing. I've searched my computer for the missing file and it doesn't exist (and I have no recollection of why I'd insert a pdf into a template anyway...)
Within Pages I've clicked in View>Show Invisibles, thinking that might reveal something. It didn't.
Any ideas? Thanks!
PS I am running Pages 2.0

Hello,
I had this problem a while ago with an old version 1.x file when open it in Pages 2. After some examination, it seems to appear with placeholder objects mainly (like the image you are writing about). But this was the only time I encountered the problem.
Argelius,
try to copy the image from the business letter template with this steps:
1) Click on the Pages app icon with holding the control key down and choose the item "Show the Package Content" of the appearing menu.
2) Navigate to the business letter template "Contents/Resources/<YourUsedLanguage>.lproj/Templates/ISO/Stationery/" (or "Traditional" instead of "ISO" if you are using Legal and no DIN letter sizes).
3) Do "Show the Package Content" on the letter icon and you will see a new window with all the content of the letter.
4) Search for the image and copy it.
5) Show your own letter document (the document should be closed in Pages), with which the error appears, and show the package content.
6) Paste the image into the package folder.
Now the error message should not appear by opening the document. Search your document if the logo image is placed in it. If yes, have a look at the menu "Format/Advanced/" if the image is marked as a placeholder image. Deactivate this and than delete the image. Save the document (perhaps as a duplication) and close it. See if the problem is gone by open the new document again.

Larry,
I did the unintall of just Illustrator and removed Preferences, however following directions the Cleaner Tool would not just clean for Illustrator. the XLM file it produced did not list Illustrator separately, nor any Suite compenent, just Creative Suite (XLM listed below). So I just uninstalled the whole suite, rebooted, then went back to the Cleaner Tool.   I tried to used the terminal command
sudo /PDHilman's Path to Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool ‐‐removeAll=CS5
But that gave an error message silent mode only worked for CS5.5 or below and went back to the GUI (odd). I then used the Cleaner Tool GUI and removed all CS5 - CS5.5.   The log file is also below.
I went into my library and there were still many CS5 - CS5.5 items under Application Support and Preferences! For example com.adobe.illustrator.plist.lockfile
I then reinstralled the whole suite.
STILL ILLUSTRATOR CRASHES WHEN TRYING TO OPEN A FILE.
I note, I think the last thing I did before this started was followed some directions to copy Mathematica fonts into my user library so I wasn't missing some math symbols when editing PDFs created with Mathematica. But that was successful and I was able to open/edit/save them just fine.

'iTunes.smi file missing'. Can't open iTunes

I got a seriously problem to open iTunes grogram on my PC.
'iTunes.smi file missing' or 'can't located' prompted when I intented to repair, uninstall or reinstall. I'd tried to seek this file in my local C driver and My Network Space. but un success. So I can’t open my iTunes in any way.
A captured screen attached below when I tried to repair
A captured screen attached below when I tried download from Apple web and install iTunes .

What follows is a LOG that I took as I dealt with the above problem noted in this post. I apologize for the *CAPS LOCK SYNDROME* and the *AKWARD NATURE OF MY PROCESS* but *IT WORKED!!!*
*IWEB REDESIGN PROBLEM (April 13, 2008)*
1. OPEN DOMAIN FILE AND RENAMED 'index-new.xml' to 'index.xml'
2. STILL NO CHANGE AND CANNOT OPEN IWEB FILE!
3. AFTER SOME TIME IT OPENED THE FILE BUT COULDN'T FIND ALL MEDIA FILES (LINK SEEMED BROKEN)
4. COPIED BOTH DOMAIN AND DOMAIN.SITES FILE TO EXTERNAL HD.
5. TRASHED REMAINING DOMAIN FILES FROM APPLICATION SUPPORT/ IWEB FOLDER.
6. TRANSFERED ORIGINAL DOMAIN FILE (SAVED) FROM EXTERNAL HD TO INTERNAL HD IWEB FOLDER.
7. DELETED PLIST FILE FROM PREFERENCES.
8. OPENED IWEB APPLICATION WHICH CREATED NEW DOMAIN FILE (of course).
9. TRASHED NEW DOMAIN FILE.
10. TRIED TO OPEN ORIGINAL DOMAIN FILE WHICH I RENAMED AS 'Domain (redesign 2008)' BUT IT WOULDN'T! STARTING FROM NEW DOMAIN FILE INSTEAD!
11. TRIED TO RENAME THE ORIGINAL FILE BACK TO JUST 'DOMAIN' AND WALLAH AFTER MUCH TRIAL AND ERROR ORIGINAL FILE IS BACK EXACTLY AS I LEFT IT BEFORE UPLOADING TO .MAC ACCOUNT LAST NIGHT.
THOUGHTS:
Something definitely happened to the original domain file when it was being uploaded to .mac account and the renaming of the index.xml file to index-new.xml plus the inclusion of another 'Domain.sites' file in my iWeb folder where originally there was only one 'Domain' file caused the confusion and resulting panic that followed! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
The crazy thing is that this will probably happen again as I make more changes (redesign) and upload them to the mac server. If someone has a *REAL FIX* to prevent this CHANGE from happening - *PLEASE POST THIS HERE!*
Good luck to all who read this and remember: 'When there is a will, there is a way!'

Pro Tools files imported to FCP X causing QuickTime movie problem

Well 2 days later and hours on the phone with Apple tech support Senior Advisors, and problem still not solved. HELP.
Everything works fine in FCP X, but when I create the QuickTime movie, it is way out of sync (by many seconds).
We have isolated the problem to audio files that I am exporting to Pro Tools, processing, and then importing back into FCP X. I can create a QuickTime movie with the original video/audio and it is fine.
Information
The original video came from Canon HF M40 camcorder: AVCHD (using MPEG4-AVC / H.264 compression codec), MTS format. Audio is 48kHz, 24 bits.
I used ClipWrap to rewrap the video into ProRes 422 and decompress the audio and save as LPCM.
I simply provide this FYI. As I said earlier, the original video works fine and the resulting QuickTime movie works fine. So the original files imported into the FCP project are not the problem.
The creation of the problem audio occurs as follows:
- Detach the original audio from the original video, and export
- Import this audio into a 48.0 kHz/16-bit Pro Tools HD session and EQ/limit the audio
- Import the resulting audio into FCP X (exact same length file, audio waveforms aligned with the original audio).
This audio works fine in FCP. It is in sync with the video, everything looks great.
I ran Pro Tools at 16-bits because a senior advisor told me FCP runs at 16-bits but does not convert imported stand-alone audio (as opposed to combined video/audio) to 16-bits; thus the Pro Tools session had to be at 16-bits. I changed from 24-bits to 16-bits, and this didn't solve the problem. (FYI, when Pro Tools imports the original audio exported from FCP, it says the audio is 24-bits, not 16-bits).
What is the problem?
The basic question is why does this audio cause QuickTime a problem?
Something is going on in the conversion to the QT movie. In FCP X, I don't have a way to play with the conversion variables except to set "Video and Audio" and "Use current settings" (which is ProRes 422).
The only difference I see between the original audio and the Pro Tools audio is that the original audio is stereo and Pro Tools works with dual mono files (L & R). The mono files work fine in FCP and I can't imagine why QT would have a problem with these, but I haven't tried converting the files to stereo before importing into FCP.
I should also mention that I selected the stabilization and roll correction algorithms in FCP. I assume these don't create problems in QT. I mention this because I didn't use them when I tested making a QT movie with the original video/audio files.
FCP and Pro Tools are used together all the time to do exactly what I am doing......improve the sound of the original audio. They are the premier video and audio professional programs. Of course, the final product is often not a QuickTime movie, but many times it is a QT movie.
What the heck is going on???
HELP.

(1) It is immediately out of sync. It even appears to be speeded up to me initially, but this is subjective. But it is clearly out of sync throughout, not a gradual drift.
(2) When I create the audio files in the Pro Tools session, the files are automatically stored in the audio folder of the Pro Tools session. So I don't actually have to go through an export process. I just close the Pro Tools session, then open FCP X and import the audio from the Pro Tools folder.
I'm not sure what additional specifications you seek, other than:
- wav files
- sample rate = 48 kHz
- Bit rate = 16-bits (and earlier I used 24-bits)
- Files are dual mono, rather than stereo (name_01.L.wav, name_01.R.wav). As I mentioned above, I have not yet tried converting these to stereo before importing into FCP, to see if dual mono causes an issue with QT. It does not cause a problem in FCP. I will try this today if we don't solve the problem.
(3) I can upload a portion of the audio to a server and send you a link to the file so you can download it. Is there a way to private message on the forum so I can get an email address to send you the link?
(4) The original video came from Canon HF M40 camcorder: AVCHD (using MPEG4-AVC / H.264 compression codec), MTS format. Audio is 48 kHz, 24 bits.
I used ClipWrap to rewrap the video into ProRes 422 and decompress the audio and save as LPCM.
The FCP Project was set up at:

- Format - 1080p
- Resolution - 1920 x 1080

I saved my Form Central spreadsheet file once as a excel file but Forms Central will not allow me to save the file a second time as an excel file. I am informed that I cannot complete this action because the file me be open in another application, but it is not open in another application. What is the problem, and how do I solve the problem. Thank you. Jeff

First check the version of the document with Jongware's script "Identify.jsx" (ExtendScript/JavaScript).
You can find it here:
[Ann] Identify Your InDesign File
If it is CS 5.5 or above, you need someone to open it in the version the script says and export an IDML representation from that. Another way would be to install a 30days version of CS6 or above (CC) and do it yourself.
In regards of the script showing a result for InDesign files higher than CS6:
CS7 = CC v9
CS8 = CC v10 = CC-2014 or CC2014.1

Hi, I cant open a document I have been working on. It has previously been saved without a problem now all I get is a box stating that the file cannot be opened. Any suggestions please?

Hi, I reecntly purchased a Mac and the Pages App. But now I find that I cant open a document I have been working on. It has previously been saved without a problem now all I get is a box stating that the file cannot be opened. It is visible in both the Pages Windows and under Recent Items but just will not open. Any suggestions please?

Hi Colourdoodles,
Maybe the document is corrupted. Can you open other Pages documents? Preview may open it. Right click (or control click) on the document in Finder and Open With > Preview.
If that works, Edit > Select All, Edit > Copy. Then paste into a blank Pages document. Formatting may be messed up, but you will have editable text. Then Save (with a different name), close and see if you can open the new document.
Regards,
Ian
