Project Standard 2013 'The File Cannot be Opened'
I am using Project Standard 2013 and have been doing so since 2013. Last week it suddenly started coming up with the following error message when I try to save a project and update the associated shared resource pool:
The file cannot be opened.
Check that the file name and path are correct
Check that the file format is recognized by Project
Project files saved in a version earlier than Microsoft Project 2000 can't be opened.'
I have only ever used this version, no earlier versions. I have tried to repair the application through the update/re-install process.
The projects save but do not appear in the resource pool unless both files are open. Some projects are still linked to the resource pool and show in it even if they are not open. This is now happening with all files when I try to save them. Sometimes it
says:
'The resource pool is read only, do you want to save a copy'
Even if I click 'no' a copy appears which I can't close and I have to force quit the application.
Help.
I've also tried opening the resource pool read-write. That worked for about 5 minutes when saving projects. Now it won't let me save my project without saving the resource pool first. When I try to save the resource pool, I get the same error message:
The file cannot be opened.
Check that the file name and path are correct
Check that the file format is recognized by Project
Project files saved in a version earlier than Microsoft Project
2000 can't be opened.'

I am on a trial version of InDesign in Creative Cloud and before I purchase need to know why and the files cannot be opened by others using CS6. Isn't Cloud compatible with CS6 design software?
Industry standard files such as JPEG are compatible with many brands/versions of programs
Proprietary files such as those created by InDesign are often not backwards compatible, due to new features in newer program versions
This is not unique to Adobe... MS Word DOCX files are not backwards compatible with earlier versions of MS Word -
I'm using Numbers version 3.2.2.
Suddenly I cannot access my password protected Numbers file with the correct password. I have the correct password written down so I know I haven't made a mistake.
The response box that pops up says that the file cannot be opened. There are no other options for me to choose from.Also, I tried to open it through an older version of Numbers but it sent this error message.

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.

I am attempting to open MPEG4 files on my Mac Book Pro and it is saying that the file cannot be opened because a codec is missing. I downloaded both QuickTime Player 7.6.6 and also QuickTime Player MPEG2 and neither one of them are helping with my problem.

Hello,
your file is probably corrupted. If you do not have a backup of this file, and if https://discussions.apple.com/message/16132821#16132821 does not help ; you can send your file to me, I will try to see if there is a chance to open it or if it is definitively lost... -
Unable to save mpp 2013 file, error "the file cannot be opened"
Using a local copy of Microsoft Project Pro 2013.
Opening and editing mpp files created only with 2013, never using earlier versions or format.
However, sometimes after opening a 2013 mpp file, working on it, then trying to Save, or Save-AS, pops up a message
The file "project.mpp" cannot be opened.
At this point is it IMPOSSIBLE to save the file in any way!
Can't save or Save-As to any location on my computer or network.
This is very frustrating to loose all the work done on a file. This happens in various files, never on specific files or anything else I can put my finger on.
-----------The full error is as following--------------
The file "project.mpp" cannot be opened.
* Check that the file name and path are correct.
* Check that the file format is recognized by Project.
Project files saved in versions earlier than Microsoft Project 2000 can't be opened.
If your file is from an earlier version, open in that version, click Save As (File menu), and save in MPX format. Open the MPX file in the current version of Project. When you use this method, project data is imported, but formatting is lost.
Your kind assistance please,
Thank youHi,
If you don't find any clue, you can send your file to me (guillaume.rouyreATgcosiDOTcom, replace cap) so I can give a try.
Hope this helps,

File cannot be opened because there are no pages - Reader 9 & X
I have an old hydro bill in PDF format from 2000. I can open this PDF in Adobe Reader 8 and earlier with no issues whatsoever (i.e. double-clicking the PDF in Windows Explorer). The problem started with Adobe 9 & continues with Adobe X. When I double-click the file, Adobe opens but tells me the "File cannot be opened because there are no pages." More recent hydro bill PDFs can be opened with no issue.
Googled & searched the forums but haven't found any earlier reference to this particular error though there is a vague recollection that someone complained somewhere about this or something similar with Adobe 9 some months ago but there was no solution to be found then.
Using Windows Vista Ultimate here & have uninstalled Reader X & returned to Reader 8 pending a solution.
Does anybody know how to fix this?
Thanks.Thanks for the idea. Disappointing if true.
Thing is... it's an old hydro bill... I'm just keeping it for posterity's sake (a bill from when I was paying for nuclear power!?!)
Most troubling and disconcerting.
So, who should be sued? Adobe? My hydro company? ;-) Just kidding.
Anyway... some time gone by...
- re-installed Adobe X
- as per ghostscript.com, downloaded Ghostscript v9.01 & Gsview v4.9 (McAfee okayed them)
- installed Ghostscript & Gsview
- started Gsview
- dragged & dropped one of the offending hydro bill PDFs from Windows Explorer into Gsview
- from File menu picked Convert
- for Device pdfwrite, upped Resolution from the default 600 to 720
- via the Properties button in the Convert dialogue, adjusted CompatibiliyLevel to 1.2, clicked OK in Properties dialogue
- clicked OK again back in the Convert dialogue
- in the Output Filename dialogue, made the new file a "b" copy of the original filename
- clicked Save
The new file is a tenth the size of the old one & opens without incident in Adobe X. Ghostscript works well... thanks.
But... is this really the optimal solution for businesses & governments? It's not as if the old files were on vellum and here we are like old monks, transcribing for the king. Good grief where are we going? -
File Cannot be opened error in Numbers
I tried to open a file I had stored in the cloud in numbers. I got a message that the two versions did not sync. When I selected one, I got an error stating that the file cannot be opened. Same problem on my iPad
Ok...after I downloaded media player 11, I went into it and clicked on pictures and they were still viewing fine, but I forgot to click into the videos (which is the original problem). Well, I just got back to my laptop and clicked into videos to view them and I'm getting the same error that I was getting before. It says that windows does not recognize this file type.

Using WordRpt support routines with a C application in LabWindows CVI 2009 to format Word files, an error sometimes occurs resulting in the document format being corrupted. An error is generated: The MSWORD.OLB file cannot be opened. I don't know why or how to correct this problem.
Any help you can provide would be appreciated!Hi LPR1,
Do you have an application that reproduces this. If so, do you mind posting it?

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

"Cannot open Help. The file cannot be found." Error on Treo Pro
I can see a support item listed on my phone when I try to search the Help files, but when I click on that item, it gives me an error message, "Cannot oepn Help. The file cannot be found."
I am trying to block telemarketer calls, and it looks like there is a way to do it. Two help references come up - "Setting Options for rejecting calls" and "Blocking Calls." I just can't access them.
Thanks in advance!

Setting options for rejecting a call By default, when you reject an incoming
call, the caller is sent to voicemail. You can
change this setting so that, in addition to
sending the caller to voicemail, a text
message opens. This message contains
default text and is addressed to the caller
so that you can send the message right
away. You can also change the default text
of the message.
1 Press Start and select Settings.2 On the Personal tab, select Phone .3 Select the Advanced tab.4 To turn on the text message feature, check the Reject call with text
message box.
5 (Optional) To change the content of the message, select the text in the box and
enter the text you want.6 Press OK . -
I have put a lot of work into a docx document on my Mac, but now can't open it as it gives the error message: 'the Open XML file cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents. Details, Unspecific
error, Location: 2'
When opening the original file the message said: 'this file contains word 2007 for Windows equations' etc. but I managed to track changes fine, and saved, closed and re-opened it numerous times without problem. Some graphs seemed moved, and various formulas
were illegible, but no other weirdness was observed.
I have microsoft 2008 installed on my Mac OS X version 10.6.8.
I've tried to fix it using various solutions suggested here, but am afraid am too IT illiterate to have had any luck, please help I'm new to all this!
I've uploaded it to https://www.dropbox.com/s/hkw9k6lyihzoxpc/SittwayPauktawSQUEACREPORT_KD%2BCH.docxHi,
This issue is related strictly to oMath tags and occurs when a graphical object or text box is anchored to the same paragraph that contains the equation.
