Problems with Opening Files

I am currently using CS5, but have CS4 still installed in my computer because in order to save a file to be opened with CS3, it has to go threw CS4.
My problem is that all of a sudden all of my InDesign files are opening with CS4. I recently reinstalled the CS4 because of saving files for past editions. does this have anything to do with my problem?
When I go to choose a program to open, it will open it with CS4. When I go to choose a program to open with, CS5 is not even listed. When I go to search for the program, CS5 is not listed, so I search for the program to open with, find CS5, click okay, but it doesn't even show. It will just open it with CS4. Why has this happened and what can I change to make CS5 the main program to open with?
Do I just have to unistall CS5 and then reinstall it?
Thanks

It sure does. The operating system will default to the last version installed.

Problem with opening files in CDE

Hi!
I have a problem with CDE. When I login as a normal user (not root) I can not open any file in my home directory or in its subfolders using dtfile (CDE File Manager).
When I double click on a text file I get the following error message:
The request to service this action has failed for the following reason:
TT_DESKTOP_ENOENT No such file or directory.
However I am able to read the file with a cat/pico command. It is also possible to open it from Text Editor. => The file exists.
PS. It might be a problem with automonting /export/home/user to /home/user, but I am not sure. I did not meet this problem in previous versions of Solaris.
SYSTEM USED: Solaris 10 x86 / CDE 1.6
Please help!

To test the automount hypothesis, you could create
a new user with a home directory someplace completely different and NFS-free, like /opt
useradd -m -d /opt/testuser -s /bin/bash testuser
passwd testuser
Then login to CDE as the user.
It does sound like there's something broken with $HOME/.dt

Pdf causes problem with opening files: help, please!

The operating system on my computer is Windows xp and I use Adobe version 11.0.6.
I am having a problem that arises when I get a warning message (particularly when opening pdf or xls files): "AcroRd32.exe - Application Error: The exception unknown software exception (Oxc0000409) occurred in the application at location 0x00411e0b". I am then unable to open most files - pdf, xls, Word etc. - until I switch the machine off and then on. I have discussed this problem with Microsoft, who eventually said that it seems to be caused by something related to Acrobat software.
I should be grateful for advice or help from any participant in this forum.
Many thanks in advance.

I have a problem with opening files

When I try to open a file by using the ctrl+o or by going to the "open file" on the menu bar, it will not open the file I'm trying for.
It seems to hang the program or shuts it down completely.
This also happens when I hit the escape key or use the "cancel" button.
does anyone else have this trouble?

It should unzip if you double-cick.
What are you seeing happen when you do that?
Select a .zip file in the Finder and Get Info (cmd-i). What is set for it to Open With. It should be Archive Utility.

Problems with opening file with while loop

Greetings everyone,
This is probably a quick question, but I am familiarizing myself how to open data files in Labview. The attached code works if you enter a file from the folder button on the front panel. However, if the path is blank and you hit the run (arrow) button, a dialog box comes up and asks for the file.
I select the file, but the dialog box keeps coming up. I think this has something to do with my while loop. Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong?
Thanks!

TheLT,
1. crossrulz was right. The Read FromSpreadsheet File.vi opens and closes the file each time it is called. If no file path is present at the input when it is called, it will pop up a file dialog.
2. LabVIEW uses a dataflow paradigm. In your program the effect of this is that the File path control is read almost immediately when the program is started and never again after that. So, if the program is already running when the file is selected in that control, the new value is never read and the value (empty) in the control when the rpogram started is used.
3. The fix is to use an event structure with a file path Value Changed event to detect when the control has a value entered and then read the file.
4. Sequence structures obscure code, make it difficult to modify and extend code, and can almost always be eliminated by effective use of dataflow. Local variables should not be used just to pass data around. Wire is always the best way when possible. In your program adding a few wires allows elimination of the sequence structure and the local variables.
5. Your graph loop should have some kind of delay or wait. No need for it to run as fast as the processor will allow - and to hog all the CPU time - to repeatedly put the same data onto the graph. This is another place where an event structure is appropriate. Only update the graph when the X-Axis or Y-Axis selections have changed. Note: Accepted best practice is to use only one event structure in a program, although there are a few advanced cases where multiple event structures are appropriate. You only need one.
6. If the slected file does not contain the "endheader" string, the program will never stop. Add a test for EOF to stop the program if the End of File is reached without finding the flag.

Problems with opening files from older iMacs on my iMac6, 1

I can't open files from my older iMac Power PC G3 on my iMac6, 1. I keep getting the error message "file is used by Mac OS X and cannot be opened."

Problems with opening files in correct app

Hi guys
Recently we have switched over at my company to OSX tiger. I work for a design firm doing artwork for various clients in the retail sector. We have a bank of logos and images on file that we use, mostly Illustrator eps saved in version 10 of the application. We are having problems opening these files in the right app. It keeps defaulting to opening in Photoshop. When we change the settings in get info and apply them to all, all our photoshop eps try and open in Illustrator. This is proving a real pain especially when opening the files from Quark after double clicking on the image and pressing the edit original button. Is there any way we can tell the system to open Illustrator files in Illustrator and Photoshop files in Photoshop.
Cheers Thom

Hi, Thom.
You wrote: "We have a bank of logos and images on file that we use, mostly Illustrator eps saved in version 10 of the application. We are having problems opening these files in the right app. It keeps defaulting to opening in Photoshop. When we change the settings in get info and apply them to all, all our photoshop eps try and open in Illustrator."You are describing the procedure in "Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Changing the application that opens a document."
The problem is due to the fact that a given file type or extension, e.g. .eps, can be bound via "Change All" to only one application. If you bind (set the default application) all .eps to Illustrator, that's what they'll all open in.
For the situation you have, you need to bind the documents individually to the specific application. If you can gather a selection of the documents, you can use the contextual menu of the selection (Control-click or right-click the selection), hold the Option key, select "Always open with..." and select the desired application. The selected documents will open in that application and they will henceforth be bound to it until you again change the documents default application.
You can reset all the default bindings you've defined by using the Tiger-specific procedure in my "Resetting Launch Services" FAQ. Start with Step 6 since you also want to eliminate user-defined bindings.
Good luck!

Problem with opening files

Okay so I've had a look around and can't see any other discussions about this problem,
Basically I started a new job on Monday and as part of that I had to set up my laptop which is a 2009 Macbook Pro with Mavericks.
The problem is that when ever I go to open a new file in any program for some reason it always defaults to the root of my hard drive rather than the last visited directory or even the root dir for my user. This is proving to be very annoying especially as when working on a project I have to keep navigating back to the same folder time and time again. Is there a way to stop this happening?
Thanks in advance

Problems with opening file

When downloading a paper model from Disney Experience, all seems ok but.....I download to a zip program, extract and view and select open with Adobe, which advises it can not recognise the file. The Disney program REQUIRES Adobe reader and i have previously downloaded many models successfully but not this time. Disney Experience advise their program is working ok. Can anyone advise a solution please.

No, it does not have a .pdf extension, nor does it show an address. The
Adobe window shows: Adobe Reader could not open 'station_model 1[1]'
because it is either not a supported file or because the file has been
damaged....
I have re-installed windows 7(upgrade), the same thing happens.
There are six files to download, each one refuses to appear as .pdf.

Problem with opening a indd file in CC 2014.

When I'm trying to open a 5.5 .indd-file in CC 2014 on my Windows computer, I get this error message: 'Either the file does not exist or you do not have permission to open it or the file is used by another program'. However my collague has no problem with opening the document on his Mac computer. I guess it has something to do with a kind of setting in my CC 2014. Can anyone help me?

Nothing to do with ID. It really means what it says - your file permissions are hosed and it being an ID file this could include things like fonts or placed images referenced within it.

Back up all data.
In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Problems with opening Acrobat Pro 9 PDF files

Hi. We use Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 to convert our product documentation Word files into PDFs. During the last weeks our customers report more and more problems with opening these files. We usually deliver those on a DVD with Acrobat Reader 5 or another older version. (Please don't ask me why we're still on these old versions!) Did anyone experience similar problems with Acrobat Pro 9 PDF files and older versions of the Acrobat Reader? Does Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 work smoothly with the newest Acrobat Reader 9.1 download?
Please post your comments. Thx a lot - Kay

I would recommend distributing higher version of Reader as version 5 is just too old but looks like you can't go there.
Acrobat 9 PDFMaker and Adobe PDF printers by default create PDF 1.5 compaible files. PDF 1.5 compatible files can be opened only in Acrobat 6 and above. That's probably the reason why your customers can't see the contents.
What you can do is to change your conversion settings to produce PDF 1.4 compatible files:
- In Word, select Acrobat tab or Adobe PDF menu (depending on your version of Word), select Settings
- Select "advanced settings" in the dialog that comes up
- Choose compatibility as "Acrobat 5", PDF 1.4
IF you print to Adobe PDF printer, you'll find a similar setting in the print dialog.
