Network files, error messages, using compatibility

I use a Windows 7 64 bit Dell at home and at work. Both have Photoshop CS6 (not extended). This week when I saved files at home using file compatiblity (since co-workers in my office are on CS 5.1) and FTPed them from home to the work network I ran into all sorts of issues.
5.1 users reported getting all sorts of errors including...
The document contains unknown data which will be discarded to keep layers editable...
and another one about missing "color books"
I read about cross version problems with shapes with the new CS6 vector strokes applied. Sure enough, when I sent CS 5.1 co-workers small test files by email they could open all of them but the one with the shape with CS6 vector stroke. So I went back to the larger PSDs and removed the strokes from any shapes, but the office still could not open the files. The only way I could get them a working version was to rasterize every single smart object and vector layer which was painful to do and not ideal.
I too, even though on the same CS6 product get an error "There was a problem reading the layer data. Read the composite data instead?" If I click to do so I get another error "Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop" which is simply not true wince both are CS6.
So the only odd things I can think of were, these were FTPed files and over the Christmas holiday our office changes the networking.
Thanks for your help. I can't avoid using new CS6 features or go in and flattern a ton of layers each time.

Chris,
Thanks for replying.
I can confirm I did not use any PANTONE colors because I only do Web design. So I leave my Image Mode as RGB and don't pull any swatches from PANTONE. Perhaps there is some other way the file would be searching for a library that wasn't used? I'm dubious on that being the issue though because I have the exact same install at home and at work.
What you're saying about "layer data error" (which is cryptic terminology to me) is helpful. It would be logical why one file I tranfsferred over FTP worked and another did not.
The vector borders on new vector shapes I confirmed by saving and emailing attachments in the office. For two people they could open files with shapes but not shapes with vector borders in CS 5.1 despite compatibility being on.

Script Alert: "Sorry I could not process the following files" (Error Message using Image Processor)

I'm a seasoned Photoshop/Bridge CS5 user who recently upgraded to CS6. In Bridge I just ran my first Image Processor batch, trying to convert a set of RAW .NEF files to .PSD files with a basic editing action I created applied to them. Photoshop CS6 opens the files from Bridge and applies the actions, but then I get the "Script alert" error message "Sorry I could not process the following files" and a list of all of the files in the batch I was trying to run the script on. The files all remain open and are saved on my hard drive in a folder created by the Image Processor script, but do not close unless I manually close them. I never had this problem in CS5 where the image processor would apply the desired actions to the batch of photos one at a time, then save and close. Thoughts on how I can fix this bug?

Hey Jeff--
No specific action steps to make the image safe - no flattening, etc. Had problems narrowing down the specific action step causing the problem. So I ran the Image Processor script in the ExtendScript ToolKit and debugged in. (I'm using the version that shipped with CS4.)
Turns out what was happening is that the app.activeDocument.close() command on line 1490 was never getting called, because the this.SaveFile() above it was throwing an exception. More debugging got me to the problem - SaveFile() tries to restore the history state after making a doc safe for saving as a JPEG. This causes an exception. So I commented out line 1571:
// app.activeDocument.ativeHistoryState = historyState;
The script runs just fine after this. I commented out the close to see what history states got added to the doc, but no new states are recorded, so commenting out the restore line should not cause any problems.
Of course, my solution does not solve the problem and I may need to comment out all the saveFile() lines that does this. Not sure why some actions have this problem and others don't. The actions I am running have about 25 steps. Perhaps PS is not catching up quick enough. I added a $.sleep(2500) after the restore history but that didn't help.
So, not sure where this gets us. I will check about posting an action set with just one of the actions that cause the problem. But I may also have our customer comment out that line of the Image Processor script.
Hope this helps. May post more next week.

File error messages using DiskWarrior-- pList items

The files shown below are corrupted according to a DiskWarrior file check. It was my understanding with earlier OS versions, that the solution was to discard a bad pList, and then the parent Application (or the system itself) would refresh it in the same Library folder. I have done this with Applications before.
I fixed Permissions in Disk Utility before doing any of this.
And now, running 10.9.3 as my system, I navigate to the GO drop down menu at the top of the screen. While depressing the OPTION key. The LIBRARY appears in the menu.
Why can't I find most of these items in the Preferences submenu of Library?
Where are they hiding?
Is the solution to throw them away?
Does any of this matter, or is Disk Warrior sending a false alarm?

Thumbnails appear but missing file error message if try to open

PSE worked fine for 2 months, when downloading to Shutterfly organizer crashed. uninstalled and reinstalled-problem persisted. Set up new user/administrator and organizer would open but with "missing file error message" if tried to open thumbnail picture. Then unistalled pse8 and reinstalled pse6. Still get missing file error, but again I can see the thumbnails. I had at one point 5000 photo's and deleted 3000 to reduce clutter using the delete from harddrive option when I did so. Now I once again have 5000 photo's cataloged ?? At this point I would be happy to simply get pse6 working as it should, any suggestions please. I have a lot of time and knowledge invested in PSE and I hate to cop out to Picassa at this point ?

I'm slowly getting this mess untangled. It seems that on the reinstalls of pse8 following organizer crash that even photo's that were previously deleted from both catalogs AND harddrive must still keep a thumbnail version hidden in some file somewhere. when I used the delete option in the missing file dialog I was able to remove them from the current catalog. It seems as though after too many software upgrades and photo's copied and saved through the years, you might as well by a new computer and mke a fresh start. But then again I'd just have to deal with windows7 and pse8 compatibility issues anyway. D@&D if I do, D@&D if I don't scenario !!

"Unable to Check Out File Error" Message

I'm new to using Adobe products, so forgive me if this is a dumb question! My graphic designer sent me a INDD file to edit the text in and when I try to open it in both InDesign and InCopy, I receive an "Unable to Check Out this File" error message. I just downloaded InDesign CC and InCopy CC (the free trial versions). She said that all settings on her end should allow me to view it. Any help is much appreciated!
Thank you!

I've just experienced the same error message in CS4. I got rid of it by going to the Links panel, selecting all the links to Incopy, and Unlinking.

Cannot locate original music file error message???

cannot locate original music file error message ??? i transferred to a new laptop then some of my music collection seems to get this message .

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

Quick time 'this is not a movie file' error message

PLEASE HELP!
i've recently downloaded some movies off the internet (.avi files) and although all have originally opened and played in quicktime, i am now getting 'this is not a movie file' error messages for all of them. I've had this before and restarting the computer has usually helped - but not this time. I've also tried reinstalling quicktime, as well as installing divx (i get an error message saying this file cannot be opened). for some reason i can't install VLC (some message about not being able to mount).
I've also burnt the files to a cd and tried playing from there (Rather than my external hard drive) but still won't work. The files won't even open up a preview... i really don't understand what could have happened though - i've opened and played all of them when i first downloaded them and they worked just fine!
i'd appreciate any help.
cheers

The fact that you cannot even mount one file or install another makes it sound more like an OS problem than a QT problem, though I guess in part some people deserve what they get with pirated movies through torrents. Have you repaired permissions?
The files you cannot even use that are not the videos in question indicate your problems lie elsewhere.

Couldn't Save File - Error Message

Recently after adding a few more pages and updating some existing pages on my site, I have been met with an error saying I cannot save my website using the save function of iWeb, I receive the "Couldn't Save File" error message, however it doesn't tell me what file can't be saved or what file might be missing. I am running verision 1.1.2. Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

Dear DOHCVTEC187:
I had that same error. iWeb would open with a "can't open file :unamed" error, and also would give me a "can't save" error. I searched on the discussions, and found a few things that might help.
First, save/backup your Domain. That is where iWeb saves all that cool web info. It should be located in:
<user>/Library/Application Support/iWeb.
I try to make a back up this when ever I make big changes anyways. Alway a good idea. Burn it to Disk, put it on another HD. Etc. Then delete the original, leaving the folder empty.
Second:
Trash iWeb preferences, located:
<user>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWeb.plist
Now, use Disk utility to repair permissions. I do this as a helpful step.
Then restart.
After restarting, open up iWeb. Hopefully it opens with out the error, since we are starting from "scratch". It should ask for you to create a new page/ new site. ie, remaking a "domain". Make a singe page. Save and then quit iWeb. It should run smoothly.
Now, go find that "new" domain you just made, and replace it with your old one.
That should help.
Also, one thing that I found when this error happened to me was that I had built links to documents , such as PDF for people to download. Thus the error "couldn't open, unnamed" etc. It was because those links were "broken", so I had to find each link that I pointed to a PDF, and double check that it was still working and pointed to the correct file. Could be a pain in the but if you have alot of PDF's, etc, but it was worth it.
Hope this helps!

"Preview not available for this file" error message.

I'm using LR 4.4 but it hasn't worked correctly since I got my new camera (Canon 70D). When trying to import I keep getting the "Preview not available for this file" error message. I had some better luck connecting the camera with a usb cable, that let me see the jpg images, but it would not let me see the raw (.cr2) images. Would I solve this problem by upgrading to LR5?
I'm running LR 4.4 on a Windows 7 PC.
Thanks for any help that can be provided.

Support for the Canon 70D was introduced with LR version 5.2. see the link below.

Unrecognised File error message

I have a clip shot on a sony AVHCD camcorder. It was shot using a h.264 codec and I want to edit in FCE.
I've converted the clip using quicktime pro 7 to DV-PAL.
The clip plays fine on my imac but when i attempt to import to final cut i get an "unrecognised file" error message and the clip isnt imported.
Any ideas whats causing this?

OK thats making sense.
So the clip was imported from the camera to iMovie where it was initially edited into a final file. That file was then shared to AppleTV.
Some years later I decided to make changes to that clip and it was the finished iMovie project in .m4v that was being converted in QT7 for use in FCE.
When I now look at the interface in QT7, my audio options are listed as:
Linear PCM
AAC
Apple Lossless
MPEG-4 AAC Enhanced
MPEG-4 AAC Low Delay
MPEG-4 HE AAC
MPEG-4 HE AAC V2
So I assume either Linear PCM or Apple Lossless comply to your suggestion?

How do i fix or avoid a corrupted file error message

i get an corrupted file error message when i try to send a video from photoshop elements 5.0 to adobe premiere elements 3.0. video plays in photoshop but wont transfer, by photoshop, disc or file. cants get anything into premiere elements. help?
lyndaloon

Lynda,
Are you attempting to send a video file which you have on your hard drive to Premiere Elements3? Or is it a slideshow which you have just made in the PSE slide show create function which you are attemptin to send ?
If it is a video file on your hard drive, then I suggest that you first try to bring the video directly in to Premiere Elements 3. If you have already attempted adding a video file directly to Prem Elem 3, then I recommend that you post your question in the separate forum for Premiere Elements. I suggest that you include info about the file type and codec of the video file as well as what variation of Windows you are running.
Premiere Elements forum at
http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere_elements
FYI
- I have previously sent photo files from Photoshop Elements 5 to Premiere Elements 3: however I have never attempted to do a Send of a video file. There are many types of video files for which the PSE 5 Organizer has very limited support and that is why I think that you would be better using Premiere Elementa 3 to work with video.
Or perhaps you might have a newer format of video file that Premiere Elements 3 does not support for editing. For example, AVCHD format is not supporedt in PE 3 but is supported in newer versions. This question about types of video is better asked in the Premiere Elements forum.

To display a continuos Error Message using BADI

Hi Everybody,
                    There's a transaction that makes use of classes and interfaces to display an ALV grid with input enabled frames and fields. There's a need to display an error message using a specified BADI method, which gets triggered after the user enters the input. The error message is working fine for the first time.<b>But when i'm trying to enter the same input and press enter after the error message, the transaction is getting closed. How can i display the same error message, until and unless the user enters the correct input ?</b> I've tried to trace the control using the debugger after the enter is pressed, but the debugger is also getting closed and the control is coming out of the transaction. Help me out in displaying the error message.

Hi,
Open the interface and go to the Methods tab.
Select the Method and click on Parameters.
In the method parameters, declare a variable
RETURN      Changing      Type     ALM_ME_BAPIRET2_T.
Now, inside your code, declare   DATA : ls_return TYPE bapiret2.
and populate this RETURN table, something like:
        if not ( wa_mara-mtart eq 'SPAR' or wa_mara-mtart eq 'ZMRO' ).
    CLEAR ls_return.
    MOVE 'E' TO ls_return-type.
    MOVE 'ERR_MESSAGE' TO ls_return-id.
    MOVE '999' TO ls_return-number.
    MOVE 'Enter proper error message here' TO ls_return-message.
    INSERT ls_return INTO TABLE return.
    endif.
Then, back in your program, check if this table is empty proceed otherwise, STOP or EXIT.

Send custom error message using IDoc conversion rule?

Hello,
I am using an Idoc conversion rule in BD79 to load cost centers. In my conversion rule I use a conversion exit function module to concatenate 2 specific characters and sending cost center value together and then this output value placed in the receiving cost center field. This works fine, but now I want to send a custom error message to the idoc and fail the idoc if the sending cost center value is greater than 8 digits.
Does anyone know how to send an error message or update an idoc with an error message using a conversion rule (bd79)?
Thank you,
Rhonda

Getting Error Message using Formatted Search

Hi,
I am using formatted search for validating a particular field, and that happens fine. Kindly let me know if I can also display error messages using the same formatted search.
If yes, what am I to include in the formatted search, and if No, please let me know the alternative.
Thanks in advance.
Satish.

Hi Satish,
if you validate the value of a field and intend to rise an error message on detection of invalid values in a separate window or in the status line there is no way to do it with Formatted Searches (as far as I know)!
You could use the following methods as simple workarounds if you don't want to program a solution with the SDK:
1. Solution
You can display the text of an error message in the field you validate; of course, the invalid data then is overwritten with your error message, but you could construct the message from fixed text parts concatenated with the data found in the field.
Be sure to save the original data of the field in your query before you do anything else. This way you sustain the field data in case the data is valid!
Example:
DECLARE @save AS ....
SET @save = $[xxxxx]
IF $[xxxxx] test on invalid data
SELECT 'Error: Invalid data: ' + $[xxxxx] -- in case of error
ELSE
SELECT $[xxxxx] -- no error - sustain valid data
END
2. Solution:
You define a sepate User Defined Field (UDF) for potential error messages - that's the way I often programmed it for our own applications. Suppose that the Formatted Search is connected to this UDF and the field to validate is field 'xxxxx'. The Formatted Search is triggered (auto-refresh) on change of field 'xxxxx':
IF $[xxxxx] test on invalid data
SELECT 'Error: Invalid data: ' + $[xxxxx] -- in case of error
END
May be that there are minor syntactical errors or missing type conversions in the code above - but I hope it gives you an idea on how to solve your problem without SDK programming!
Good luck!
