Saving and opening files in textedit

i am a brand new macbook (and mac) user and saving my files for default opening with microsoft word, but also want to work on them as textedit as i haven't bought windows for mac yet, and am still on the trial period. until today i have had no problem reopening files as textedit again, in spite of having saved them as word. but today when i tried to open as textedit and was informed by a popup that i couldn't because it wasn't in the right format, and could have been corrupted or truncated. Can anyone help me understand what is going on? cheers

Just need to know a couple of things to try to help you.
- Do files that you were able to open before, not open now, or are they different ones?
- Can you make a new file, type a couple of sentences, save as a word document, and open in text edit ?
- Are the files you can't open all old files?
- No matter what I do, I can't open a word file in Safari. I am assuming, "new to mac" means you were a Windows user. Were the files you are trying to open from your PC, if so, how did you get them on to the macbook?
All of this could have a bearing on your issue. Especially see if you can just create new file in your mac word trial program, type a couple of sentences, save, then try to open in Text Edit. If that works the legacy windows word files, or how you got them to the mac, could be the issue.

Saving and Opening files from Flash Drive Mac to Windows Computer

Hi!
I recently purchased a generic Flash drive (2gb). I am having problems saving things on it. Sometimes when i drag a file to the flash drive icon it doesn't load properly or transfers well. I try opening it and it says: "FILE ERROR
Couldn't open the file. It may be corrupt or a file format that Preview doesn't recognize." Some documents do open well. I also tried opening files on a windows computer and it says it has to be formated. I format it and of course everything deletes.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Thanks

OK. I did.
But here is the problem, it still doesn't save certain file on the flash drive. Most of the files are either jpg.,cwk.,pdf., or mov.
The mov. won't even play. It works fine when i save files from a windows computer, but not when i save from my mac.
I really have no idea why its doing this. I am aware that certain file can't be opened from a mac to a window, but i just don't know why, when i place a file into the flash drive icon and try to re-open it, it says the error message again (On my mac).
Thanks.

Saving and opening files slow

I just got a Mac Pro and noticed that when opening and saving files (using Save As...) from any app, it takes an unusually long time for the open/save dialog box to come up. So much so, I actually get the spinning beach ball for at least 5-10 seconds. I have 6gb of RAM and also filled all the drive bays and created a 0+1 RAID.
Any ideas?

First, make sure Energy Saver is set to not allow disk drives to spin down.
Secondly, software 0+1 is not a good configuration or idea. Go with one or the other; or invest in RAID6 controller. Striping two mirrors has been trouble and iffy, and sometimes it seems to work.

CS3 problems in saving and opening files and uninstalling software

?? In CS3 Photoshop I get error message "Could not complete the SAVE AS command because of a program error?" or "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of documente?.
I can save files as bitmap but not as psd, jpg, or tiff. Is there a link that correlates all error messages? Also, I am unable to uninstall the CS3 software. I have my original CS3 software to install, but it will not install over existing file that can not be uninstalled. Yes, I need help and thanks in advance.

Read this article regarding installation issues and this one as well. if you are able to reinstall, everything should work out just fine. if not, come back with more pertinent questions and we will try to help

Billing plan (Downpayment) for saved and open sales orders at header level?

Hi gurus,
I have configured billing plan in my SD environment at Item Level.
I want to change it to header level.
Questions:
1- When I make the changes to update the system to have billing plan at header level for future sales orders, is that possible for me to change all my saved orders and open orders with the new settings so that I can also have those saved and open orders with a billing plan at item level?
2- If that scenario is not possible, could we for example copy the data of a previously saved or open sales order into a new sales order with the new customizing (Billing plan at Header level?)
Thanks for your input
Kind regards
Chris

Hi
I am afraid you cannot do that converstion for the existing orders. BP at header level are enabled at teh document type level, while BP at item level is done at item category. So both are independent. Mostly it is advisabel to use BP at item level only.
If you are already using item level BP, and want to mvoe to header BP, then only future transactions can be executed with BP at header level. Existing item level BPlans will remain so in the system.

TextEdit: Saving and opening menu items don't work

I create a new document, type a couple of sentences. Then when I hit "Save", a dialog box should open where I enter the document name - but nothing happens. The same with the "Save As ..." and the "Open file ..." menu options - no reaction.
It used to work before. What happened?

Does it happen in a different user as well? Does this issue appear in different applications as well?

Browsing and opening files from a file server

Hello!
I am interested if it is possible with AIR to browse files from a file server that is connected to a local network and open them. F.e. I want to create an application that opens template files with their native programs and save them on the file server under different name.
Thank you in advance
Lynda

AIR 2 (now at labs.adobe.com) has features you are looking for. An AIR 2 application can open a file in the default system application registered for the file type. (The file server must be a mounted volume on the computer.)
An extended desktop application (an AIR 2 application that is installed with a native installer) can communicate with another application. So, if the AIR (extended desktop) application knows the path to the native application, it can open that application and communicate with it. If the native application has APIs for opening and saving files, the AIR application can communicate with it using those APIs. (So, this functionality depends on the capabilities of the native application.)

Transfering and opening files between two rooms

Hey guys,
Hope everyone is having a good week. This is an odd one. Just started on this most recent film...
We have two rooms that are identical to eachother, purpose being that themes can be written in one room, and then smaller cues can be assembled from these themes in the other room. We normally transfer cues between the two rooms over our network. This system has worked fairly well for quite some time. But recently, we've experienced odd issues.
We'll call the main room "A", and the second room "B".
If a cue gets copied from A to B, and it has Stormdrum in it, when playback is started, a loud high pitched buzz comes from the Stormdrum channel. The only thing that fixes this is taking out the Stormdrum, saving, closing Logic, restarting Logic, opening the cue, and then reinstantiating Stormdrum and it's multi preset. The buzz thing is weird.
If a cue gets copied from B to A, and it has Kontakt 2 in it, while the cue is loading, the following error message is displayed:
"Kontakt 2: Error parsing input file at line 522"
Never seen that one before. I am going to try repairing and verifying permissions, and see if that helps. Maybe a little zapping of the PRAM?
Any suggestions? Anyone know what error parsing input file means? That's a new one. And why all of the sudden would Logic have a problem with copied sessions between the two rooms? The last film was so smooth, no errors, no copying problems. It was so nice. Now we're back to kooky error messages and buzzing plugins.
Many many thanks as always.

Anyone have an idea what these error messages mean?
"File is busy; one or more files are open
Result code = -47"
"Fade Update Failed
(Error -47)"
Ok, there are two issues here, which may or may not be related.
The first is the NI issue (is it just the NI plugs (Kontakt, Intakt, Kompakt) that are giving you these errors btw, or do you get similar funky behaviour on non-NI stuff?)
The second is almost certainly a permissions problem.
Those two errors are indicating the same thing - that the file write failed. This could indicate that Logic didn't have the correct permissions when trying to write to the disk, or that it was trying to overwrite a file that it didn't have the permissions to overwrite - for example when using crossfades, Logic writes out the little overlapped transitions as fade files, and needs to refresh them under certain conditions (like, when you changed some fade settings, or you first hit play, when Logic updates the fades before playback etc).
Permissions can be a pain, or they can be easy to deal with. I would suggest you have a look at the main song folders and do a get-info in the finder, and have a look at whether your user has permissions to overwrite them - you can change the permissions back to your user and "apple to enclosed" to reset all the permissions on the current folder down (recursively).
This is primarily to do with writing files BTW, rather than reading them, so if you are writing things anywhere else, such as settings files, audio files, and so on, take a look at the permissions of their locations as well.
Also, you might want to try running a "repair permissions" from disk utility, as sometimes things can go a little screwy.
If you really get problems, sometimes there can be some odd stuff going on with your user account on your Mac, so if things get bad, it's often worth checking whether you still get the same behaviour when logged in as another user (this is a last resort step, as you'll probably need to reinstall or move some stuff, depending on how you set your machines up.)
The NI think might be a little more tricky, as NI stuff still has some, er, "colorful" behaviour on Macs, although it's much better than it used to be. I'd probably run some tests of some sample new songs, moving the files to the other room and opening them up - do they always give the errors you are seeing, or is it only on some songs? Do they error when only using single instances, or only multiple instances of the plugs? That kind of thing.
Also, try these tests after you looked at the permissions stuff, because the two problems may be related, with the NI stuff not being able to load or access certain files giving random problems - I'm not saying that's what it is, but it's worth checking on the offchance...

How can i reset my download setting, to its orignial form. ie: with the option to save and open files

How can i open files, instead of having them just save.

but i clicked save and i have tried several ways to fix it, none of them work.
any and all help would be nice

Problems launching Bridge from Photoshop and opening files as smart objects in Photoshop from Lightr

I am running Photoshop CC (up to date as of today) and Lightroom 5.2. I am hitting 2 major problems. In Photoshop if I select File/Browse in Bridge I get the following message
"Could not complete the Browse in Bridge command because Photoshop was unable to find the JavaScript plug-in".
However if I simply launch Bridge as an application it works ok (now I have reset the default application for all the appropriate file extentions to Photoshop CC rather than Photoshop in Bridge preferences) and opens the file in Camera Raw 8.2 in Photoshop when a Raw file is double clicked.
The second problem is associated with opening raw files in Lightroom 5.2, editing and then trying to "photo/edit in/Open as smart object in Photoshop" . In this case Photoshop opens with a blank screen and nothing happens Eventually about a minute later this message appears in Lightroom 5.2
"The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CC could not be launched."
Rather strange message as the first thing that happened was that Photoshop CC opened!!
Same thing happens if try "photo/Edit in/Edit in Adobe Photoshop CC" except that having shut down photoshop I see a message from Lightroom 5.2 saying
Lightoom was unable to prepare the selected file at ..... for editing. It will not be opened.
When I click the OK button on this message low and behold the tif version of the RAW file opens in Photoshop. ready for futher editing with all the Lightroom edits applied.
Can anyone help me in sorting out this problem please
Operating system is Windows 8 64 bit and I am running the 64 bit Adobe applications.

Solved the problems by uninstalling Bridge and Photoshop then going into Creative Cloud App and re-installing both.

Copy and open files on local filesystem?

Hello,
For a change request, I have a rather tricky requirement. Suppose each user of the application always has a mapped network drive to a server, let's say drive "k:\", pointing to "\\servername\someDirectory\docs". This folder contains a lot of Word (.doc) files. What the customer wants is a button in the application that copies one or more documents from the "k:\" drive to a local folder, and opens them in Word. The reason the files have to be copied to the local file system is that opening them on the server would result in a read-only copy, whereas the users should be able to edit the opened version.
So the user is in the adf application, clicks a button, and then one or more word documents should be opened. These documents should be local copies of the documents in the "k:\" drive. The location where to put the local copies can be easily determined, the path(s?) of the relevant document(s?) on the "k:\" drive is known, and the location of MS Word / Office can also be determined. So I have at my disposal for example following Strings:
tmpDir = "C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Temp\"
serverDir = "\\servername\someDirectory\docs\"
doc1 = "doc1.doc"
doc2 = "doc2.doc"
doc3 = "doc3.doc"
wordLocation = c:\program files\microsoft office\office10In the current Forms application, there is a button that uses WebUtil to:
<ul>
<li>Creates an empty .bat file on the local file system (eg C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Temp, determined by the tmpDir String)</li>
<li>In this bat file, there are one ore more copy commands added, to copy the doc files from the server to the local Temp dir:
copy \\servername\someDirectory\docs\doc1.doc C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Temp
copy \\servername\someDirectory\docs\doc2.doc C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Temp
copy \\servername\someDirectory\docs\doc3.doc C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Tempor in other words:
copy serverDir || doc1 tmpDir
copy serverDir || doc2 tmpDir
copy serverDir || doc3 tmpDir</li>
<li>Next, the necessairy commands are added to the .bat file to open Word with the local copies:
cd c:\program files\microsoft office\office10
start WINWORD.EXE C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Temp\doc1.doc C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Temp\doc2.doc C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Temp\doc3.docor in other words:
cd wordLocation
start WINWORD.EXE tmpDir || doc1 tmpDir || doc2 tmpDir || doc3</li>
<li>Finally, an exit command is also added to the .bat file and the .bat file is executed on the client through WebUtil.</li>
</ul>
The resulting .bat file that is executed on the client would look like this as a whole:
copy \\servername\someDirectory\docs\doc1.doc C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Temp
copy \\servername\someDirectory\docs\doc2.doc C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Temp
copy \\servername\someDirectory\docs\doc3.doc C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Temp
cd c:\program files\microsoft office\office10
start WINWORD.EXE C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Temp\doc1.doc C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Temp\doc2.doc C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Temp\doc3.doc
exitAny suggestions on how I can do this in the cleanest possible way in adf 10.1.3? I do realise that this is not something you want to do in a web application, but this is an important requirement for the customer...
Help would be greatly appreciated!

Freeze during column view in finder and open file box?

Whenever I open a file and the open file dialog box is in column view it freezes when I click on the file and the view shifts to reveal the icon and info. It happens a lot in finder too, but not as often. It usually doesn't start happening for a few minutes after I reboot.
I'm pretty sure quicktime is associated with that icon/image preview. I just formatted my hard drive hoping that would help but it doesn't. I have to force quit applications alot if I forget to get out of column view...someone please help!
I don't remember this happening before I installed macromedia studio 8, but I'm not sure. I have to use those programs.

see thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3805971&#3805971
though no solution yet.
