Unable to open a CS5 file in CC - does not recognize plugin - please help. Just removed old software and replaced with CC yesterday.

I was having issues with illustrator and it was time to upgrade anyway, so I uninstalled all previous versions of Adobe and upgraded to CC. Now I'm trying to open my old files and the exact error reads, "Could not read the fiel because the plug-in could not understand this file." What plug-in do I need to download? And why wasn't this part of the package in the first place?

Jeannie,
The three step reinstallation may be relevant.
But you could try to create a new document and File>Place the troublesome one to see how much may be rescued that way (remember to tick Paste remembers Layers in the Layer palette flyout/dropdown first, and to untick it afterwards).
If it is a corrupt file, there are some more things to try, but in this case it might take too much of the little time before your deadline.
Here is a website where you can see whether it can rescue the file, and if it can, you may pay for a subscription to have it done,
http://www.recoverytoolbox.com/buy_illustrator.html
and another similar website,
http://markzware.com/adobe-software/fix-illustrator-file-unknown-error-occurred-pdf2dtp-fi le-recovery/
As far as I remember, the former is for Win and the latter for Mac.
Here are a few pages about struggling with it yourself:

  • When trying to download & install Firefox 5.0.1 into a Mac, I get a message saying that Firefox cannot be installed because libnsscksi.dylib is in use. Any idea how to locate and close that file? Finder does not recognize it. Thanks!

    Tried to install both Firefox 5.0 and 5.0.1, and received the same error message that a file ending in .dylib was in use. I cannot locate that file, and Finder does not recognize it.

    I have a Power PC Mac with OS 10.5.8 and Firefox 3.6.28, the latest versions supported on my machine, and all of my plug-ins are the latest versions available for that browser version. I too get the warning message all the time and it is very annoying. I have never had any "security" problems, and I don't go along with this imperative to always be upgrading equipment. Don't these corporate geeks understand that we're in a global economic contraction and a lot of us are unemployed/underemployed? They want us to be good consumers and "switch to a newer computer" but I can't afford that. Like, if I can't fix my old car, I won't be able to drive. What I want to know is: '''how to disable the warning message?''' Thank you in advance.

  • HD Crash recovered MOV files but QT does not recognize?

    So my hard drive crashed ran rescue program and ended up with lots of .MOV files. There is apparently data there but quicktime will not play back. Tried VLC tried different extentions still nothing. Any help is appreciated.

    Video files are so big, that even though you recovered something, the data is probably gone. I would definitely not count on it.

  • Unable to install OS X Mountain Lion after HD clean...PLEASE HELP

    Ok, I have two issues and hopefully I can have them resolved here.
    I currently live in Italy, the local Apple store recently replaced my HD about 6-8 months ago and I reinstalled all my files using time machine when I took it home.
    Recently it began running very slow (getting the pinwheel when I try to simply use Safari).  I took it to an apple store when I was back in America and was told I needed to erase my HD and start over.  When the HD was replaced in Italy, the apple store installed Moutain lion free of charge for me.  After my clean erases, when I try to install Mountain Lion using the disk utilities, I am unable to because apple does not recognize my apple id as purchasing this software.  How to I use my 2007 macbook pro to purchase and download the latest mountain lion when I am only able to get disk utilities to open?
    Second issue, since the HD was replaced here in Italy, everything displayed is in Italian.  is there anyway to change it to english so I can understand what it is telling me? I am wearing out my google translate.
    Thank you for any help you can offer.

    You could try calling apple, 1-800-275-2273, and see if they'll give you a free Mountain Lion, based on your story.
    or call the store in Italy and get their Apple ID. But this probably violates something in the User Agreement.
    or you could just cough up 20 bucks and buy it. This much aggravation is worth way more than 20 dollars.
    when you install it you can specify English.
    after you download ML, but before you install it, make an install flash drive with Lion DiskMaker , so you'll have a copy ready next time this happens.

  • I am trying to export a Numbers spreadsheet to a csv file, but it does not put the commas in

    I am trying to export a Numbers spreadsheet to a csv file, but it does not put the commas in.  I want to use it with an HTML table generator tool, but the tool is looking for commas.   The Export to CSV exports it as a spreadsheet with all the formatting removed, and no commas.
    Here is the html table tool:
    http://www.textfixer.com/html/csv-convert-table.php

    Numbers '09 create CSV files with comma separated values if and only if your system is using decimal period.
    If the system is using decimal comma, the CSV files are created using semi-colon as separator.

  • Error message: "Unable to open the physical file" when trying to attach AdventureWorks database

    I have searched the internet and this forum and have not found an answer...
    I am trying to install the AdventureWorks database into my single instance of MS SQL Server Express 2005.  I am logged into my machine as an administrator and logged into SQL Server 2005 express 'sa'.  I attempt to run the following script:
    exec sp_attach_db @dbname = N'AdventureWorks',
    @filename1 = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\AdventureWorks_Data.mdf',
    @filename2 = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\AdventureWorks_log.ldf'
    The error message I get back is:
    Msg 5120, Level 16, State 101, Line 1
    Unable to open the physical file "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\AdventureWorks_Data.mdf". Operating system error 5: "5(Access is denied.)".
    The folder "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data" and all the files in it are read-write.  I am 100.0000% certain the files "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\AdventureWorks_Data.mdf" and "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\AdventureWorks_Log.ldf" exist!  They are the result of running the installation program AdventureWorksDB.msi, which I downloaded from: http://www.codeplex.com/MSFTDBProdSamples/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=4004.
    What do I have to do to install the AdventureWorkds database????

    Hello,
    To try to help you, please, could you give some more informations ?
    - the operating system (XP/Vista), the edition ( Pro/Home...) and the service pack
    - usually, the installer installs the both files in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Sql Server\Samples. Is there any change in the location or have you moved the both files ?
    - could you check with the files explorer , that the 2 files are read-write and not read only( find one file, right-click on it, properties and in the 1st tabpage, you should see a checkbox read-only ( if checked , unchecke it ) ?
    - have you Sql Server Management Studio Express Edition ( at least SP1 ) ?
    If no, download it and use it to attach
    in the object explorer,
    click on your instance to expand it
    right click on databases
    in the contextual menu, click on attach
    in the new form,click on add
    you arrive on a second form : find your file , click on it, and OK
    it's the simplest way to attach ( the sp_-attach_db is complicated to type )
    the error messages are sometimes more clear in SSMSEE than in Sqlcmd
    Try also to attach ( thru SSMSEE or Sqlcmd but in using the windows authentification )
    NB: i hope that you are not trying to attach AdventureWorks on a remote instance and on a remote computer ( it would explain access denied )
    We are waiting for your feedback to try to help you more efficiently
    Have a nice day

    can anyone pls help how to set the db offline. currently  i  stopped the sql server services from services.msc and started the  sql server agent.
    should i stop both services for moving from one drive to another?

    First you should have checked the database mdf/ldf name and location by using the command
    Use CMP_143
    Go
    Sp_helpfile
    Looks like your database CMP_143 was successfully detached but mdf/ldf location or name was different that is why it did not get copied to target location.
    Database is already detached that’s why db offline failed
