Problems with Freehand Illustrator CS4 script for Macs

A couple of us just downloaded the new Freehand to Illustrator CS4 script for Macs that was released on 5/17/10. Sometimes it works okay, but more often than not we get errors like 'ERROR: 1, Access is denied'. If we instead just open the Freehand file, the file comes in fine. What have been other people's experiences using this new script?
Mac OS X 10.5.5

Is the problem there only at the time of conversion or even the FH files are not opening after running the script
Here is what I have done and may be you can follow the exact steps :
1) Create a folder FH on Desktop and paste only the FH files in the folder( My folder does not contain any other file apart from FH files)
2) Create a Folder AI  on Desktop and keep it empty
3) File-> Scripts-> FreehandToAI
4) Select the source folder( FH)
5) Now select the destination folder(AI)
It gives the message after conversion "N freehand files are converted to AI".

  • Any problems with Windows Media Player 9 for Mac OS X?

    I want to be able to play video from CNN.com, but it says I need Windows Media Player 9. Before I download it, I want to know if it is reliable.
    I've already got Flip4Mac, and that doesn't help. (I get a -2048 error.)
    Please share experiences with Windows Media Player 9 for Mac OS X so I can decide whether or not to download it.
    Thanks,
    Matt

    The default application you're looking for is "Stuffit Expander".
    http://www.stuffit.com/mac/expander/ is the page you'll be looking for...think Winzip for Mac. Once stuffit is installed you should be able to open the .sitx or .hqx file you may have downloaded...essentially a package that stuffit can open for you so you can install media player.

  • Macbook Air 11" i7 corrupt files problem with Adobe Illustrator CS4

    Hi
    this problem may not be entirely related but maybe someone could help anyways or knows how I can proceed...
    I'm running Illustrator CS4 on a Macbook Air 11" (latest 2011 model, with i7, 4GB, 128SSD), and lately some files are getting corrupted. specifically, adobe illusrator CS4 files with weeks of work. interestingly, the time machine backups are also getting corrupted.
    its like I'm working on a file for a few days, backing up with time machine as well
    closes the file, after a few days returns to it… (normal behavior)
    then when i try to get back to the file then sometimes it says "Cant open the illustration, could not complete the operation" and opens a blank canvas.
    restoring the file via time machine also gives the same error (its like all versions get corrupted simultaneously), even 4-5 versions backwards, even though they worked before when the file worked
    it happened quite a few times, ruining weeks of work.
    I tried the following:
    reinstalling CS4 - didn't work
    Opening the files on CS5 - still don't open
    doing the file recovery thing and then opening it in a notepad - didn't work at all
    using Time machine - the files are still corrupt
    it only happenes with AI files, not photoshop files, for example.
    I thought maybe it has anything to do with SSD? since my previous macbook pro (15", 2007) never did these errors…
    please help
    Eido

    If at all, this would be I/O performance and bandwidth issues with Time Machine, but I don't think that's the problem. More to the point I think that it's a case of Preview opening the files to genereate thumbnails and icons and something going wrong there. I'd look up some guides on how to edit the relevant plist and conf files to exclude your AIs or turn off the behavior to generate these previews globally. This may help hugely...

  • Printing Problems with Acrobat Pro 9.5 for Mac

    I have Acrobat pro 9.5 for Mac.  I'm using a Canon MG8150 multi-function printer.  Everytime I try to print from Arobat Pro I get an error message.  Any suggestions?  I can print my pdfs from Apple Preview; so it's not the document or the printer.

    The first problem is probably a permissions issue. Run Repair Permissions from the Disk Utility. For the second see this
    Announcement: Known Acrobat Issues under Snow Leopard
    Hide Details
    (1) The Adobe PDF Printer module does not work under OS X.6. Please see http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/509/cpsid_50981.html to find out how to create Adobe Quality PDFs under Snow Leopard.
    (2) Opening files from the finder, including files authored by Adobe applications, may not open them in the original authoring application. Omitting a file extension from the file name will increase the likelihood of this happening. See http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/511/cpsid_51110.html for more information.

  • Contact Sheet problems with LR 1.3.1 for MAC

    Hey,
    When I'm saving my contact sheets as PDF files in "Draft Mode Printing" mode about 20% of all the images comes out blurry. It looks just like they are out of focus, this occurs every time I do contact sheets in LR and uses "Draft Mode Printing" Sometimes its less then 20% sometimes its more.
    I run LR on a Macbook Pro wih 4 Gb RAM, OS X, 3,5 Gb harddisk space left on computer.
    Do anyone else have problems with this?
    /Martin!

    If you make contacts with full quality, same thing? How many images per page?
    You are very close to the edge in running out of HD space needed for VM and scratch space, if not already over the theoretical limit.....

  • Pen Tool Problem With Adobe Illustrator CS4

    Recently, after many years, I finally gave up using AI 9 and started to use AI CS4.
    However I'm having a real problem and it's bugging me. When I start to use the pen tool on CS4, it gives me far too much information and interferes with my concentration. First, all these details in green pop up telling me that something is the path or anchor. Second, there is this horrible grey box next to my pen telling me such things as 'D: 62.54 pts'.
    Could someone please tell me how to deactivate all these appendages and I can just have mmy basic pen back.
    Thanks

    Thank you very much Joe..... Problem solved.
    It was driving me crazy.
    Again, thank you.

  • I can't view video on certain sites. It seems to be a problem with Firefox 9 and 10 for Mac.

    Ever since I upgraded to Firefox 9 on my laptop and Firefox 10 on my desktop (Mac OSX 10.6), I haven't been able to view video on certain sites. I can get youtube and vimeo and hulu no problem. However, it seems I cannot view video on sites where it seems to be embedded.
    Examples are velonews.com and thedailyshow.com. With the latter, I can't even see the site any more.
    BTW, I also can't access the firefox help system because it won't take my password. I'm doing this on Safari.

    If you use extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extension) like <i>Adblock Plus</i> or <i>NoScript</i> or <i>Flash Block</i> that can block content then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    *Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

    Hi I have been having a problem with Bridge in CS4 recently. So uninstalled CS4 and Lightroom 4.4 and reinstalled them on my Desktop PC. When I turned on Bridge through CS4, My thumb nail images disappeared and a thumb nail icon with CR2 appeared. Now some of my images have disappeared from Light room 4.4, but I can find them in CS4 and Bridge now shows some thumb nails as images and some as an icon with CR2. I have spent two weeks going through preferences etc. to find how to resolve my problem. Please can you Help? Meany thanks in advance
      Derek Randall

    I don't use LR and rarely use the bridge so I can not answers about thumbnails in them,  However thumbnails in windows file explorer and windows dialog for CS2 files will only show if you have installed codec into windows that will produce them. Windows does not do CR2 thumbnails on its own. I use FastPictureViewer Codec package for RAW File and PSD files thunbmail support.

    I have 64 bit windows 7 and CS4 Production Premium. I have a problem with Premiere Pro CS4, it keeps freezing and Crashing. A simple thing like leaving the project idle for about 15 minutes, you come back and find that it has frozen. Also if you drag out a clip on the timeline you will find that the whole application freezes. Any possible solutions would be much appreciated.

  • I just bought and backed up my computer and time machine with a "Seagate BackUp Plus for Mac". Now my time machine is empty. Panicked. can anyone help?

    I just bought and backed up my computer and time machine with a "Seagate BackUp Plus for Mac". Now my time machine is empty. Panicked. can anyone help?

    Lets start over...
    Please restart the network.. shut down everything..
    Restart in order.. modem.. router.. if different to TC.. or TC.. client devices.. wait 2min between each startup.
    If the TC does not show up on the computer, in finder.. then we need more info.. what OS are you running?
    Does the TC show up in Airport utility? Are you running wireless or ethernet?
    If you still have issues.. plug the TC directly into the computer by ethernet.
    Do a full factory reset of the TC.. and see if it now shows up.
    Please tell us exactly what model TC it is and how old.. the A1xxx model number from the base will help if you don't know.
    You take a screen shot of the TC opened in finder.
    eg..
    My TC is named Tardis4.. click on it.. and then open the data folder.. on this one called Tardisdata.
    Then take a screen shot of it so we can see what the problem is.. screenshot.. with area selection.. control + shift + 4 .. the picture goes into the desktop.. and then you click the picture icon in the posting web page controls and select the picture.
