Preflight file error message.

I have undates available in the App Store but when I try to update I get the error message that the "prefilght" file is not signed by apple.  What can I do to fix this? 

Hello mgmccomy,
You might consider creating a test administrator account on the computer and attempting the updates there.
The first and easiest test to try is to see if the issue affects a different user account on your Mac. Each user account has customized preferences and other items stored in its home directory. You'll first need to create an additional user if one does not already exist (follow steps a-h below). Then, log out of the current user and test the issue in the new user account.
If this resolves the issue, there may be an issue with a file in the home directory of the original user account.
From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
From the View menu, choose Accounts (or choose Users if using Mac OS X v10.2 or earlier).
Click "+" (or click New User if using Mac OS X v10.2 or earlier).
Give the new user a name and short name.
Mac OS X v10.3 or earlier only: Click the Password tab, and give the user a password.
Mac OS X v10.3 or earlier only: Click Security.
Select the checkbox for "Allow user to administer this computer". This makes the user account an administrator.
Click OK, or quit System Preferences.

  • "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.

  • 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 !!

  • 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.

  • "Unable to open project file" Error Message

    I pulled an all-nighter (13 hours of editing) last night to create a critical project in FCE 3.5.1 on my Intel iMac running 10.4.11 then left this afternoon for a few hours and shut down my machine. Came back tonight and tried to open the project (which I saved on my Maxtor 1 TB external drive along with all of the scratch disk files). To my absolute panic, it won't open the file now with an error message that simply says, "Unable to open project file". HELP!!!! Anyone have any suggestions?!?!

    In the past I found (and reported to Apple Feedback) the same bug Steve reports here, but I should recall that the problem:
    - only appeared in PAL projects (probably not the case for kscritch) - never heard of it in NTSC
    - was consistent in FCE 3.x, not so in FCE 4
    I made tests importing .psd images with transparency into PAL projects using FCE 4, and I had various behaviours: sometimes the project worked, sometimes I couldn't open the project again (as in FCE 3), sometimes I had error messages with inconsistent behaviour (msg like "file error", but the project opened and file was there...), etc. so I decided to do without.
    Now I only import .tif or .png images when I need transparency

  • "end of file" error message

    I keep trying to open an adobe encore project. However when I try to open it, I keep getting the error message "end of file".  I then press "OK" and it just closes encore and gives me no other options to open the project.  Can anyone tell me what is wrong?  I have read some information concerning "end of file" in the forum; however, the posted remarks seem to give directions assuming that you are in the project and able to open the preferences and make changes.  What should I do when I can't even open the project? And, why is this happening?

    Awaiting a reply on this thank you.
    I have done some research online and can see this as a reply.
    Outlook stores all the messages you've received in a single file. You'll see
    the "end of file" message if this file becomes corrupt or reaches a size of 2
    gigabytes, which is the largest a mail file can reach.
    Try holding down the Option key when you launch Outlook; this forces it to
    rebuild the mail file. If that doesn't work, you'll have to delete the file and
    start over; you will (of course) lose any saved mail messages.
    I can also see this as well.
    1. Exit all applications.
    2. Hold down the Option key on the keyboard, and then click the Outlook icon in the dock. The Microsoft Database Utility will open.
    Note: You can also access the Microsoft Database Utility by opening the Application folder and then the Microsoft Office 2011 folder. Open the Office folder, and then double-click Microsoft Database Utility.app.
    3. Click the plus [+] sign to add a new identity, and then type a name for the new identity. For example, type, “New Identity”.
    4. Set the newly create identity as the default. To do this, select the newly created identity, click the Action button, and then select Set as Default.
    5. Exit the Microsoft Database Utility, and then restart Outlook, create the rule and see whether the problem is resolved. If this works with the new identity, export the old data as .OLM file and import it into the new Identity.
