Unable to open catalog with access

I had a few issues with my computer, so i backed up (copied) all files, pictures and the .psa files to an external disk.
I would like to re-open these old catalogs and edit the paths to where the pictures are.
I therefore tried to open up a copy of the .psa file with ms access 95 (yeah, i know its an old version, only one i have) but couldnt open the .mdb file. Error given "Unrecognized format ... ".
Could this be a version issue ?
I then tried to open the .mdb file using OpenOffice Base and strangely enough, base opens the file as a document !!! where i see the following header: Standard Jet DB ...
How can i open this catalog created by pse 3.0 to edit/change the links ????
Any help would be great, as i have thousands of pictures with tag information that i would like to re-use.
Thanks,
Sunil

Saurabh: I am not using windows 95. I am running Windows XP Pro but running an old copy of Office 95 which has access with it. So, maybe a problem with office/access 95 trying to open the catalog file.
(Maybe a new catalog/access format that access 95 cannot understand ?)
And when i use the openoffice's base program to open the catalog, it doesnt open with the error stated above !
Does this mean elements has a problem with the catalog i.e Catalog corrupted ??
Is there a salvage program anywhere that i could try to use ???
Would hate to think that years of tagging/cataloging has gone to waste !!!

Unable to Open Catalog 'My Catalog'

Hi. I have just downloaded and installed PSA SE 3.0 under Windows/2K SP4. I have an Administrator and 3 Users defined, one of which has Administrator rights. When I logon as either Administrator or the other authorized user, PSA SE runs just fine. When I logon as either of the other two users (who don't have Administrator rights), and start PSA SE, I get this message: "Unable to open catalog 'My Catalog' because you do not have permission to open it. Please select an action to perform: 1.Open an existing catalog, or 2.Create a new catalog named 'My Catalog-1.psa'" If I select option 1 (Open an existing . . .", I get the same error. If I select option 2 (Create . . .", I get the error: "Unable to create a new catalog. Please reinstall Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0". Of course I can't reinstall it from the "non-Administrator" users. When I log back on as Administrator and check for Photoshop SE updates, it says there aren't any. While on as Administrator I went into PSA SE Properties 'Security' tab and gave 'Read&Execute', 'Read', and 'Write' authority to the the "non-Administrator" users and still got all the same previous errors. What is the problem and what is he solution? Thanks.

Thanks. Might be making some progress. As I said before I had followed the path suggested by Help > System Information. Had also done amendment to Show Hidden Files, which the database seems to be.
But have now taken your advice and unticked the box relating to "Hide file extensions for known file types".
Using Windows Explorer on the old computer I now find that My Catalog folder includes a file named "catalog.pse7db"
File size is approx 19,500Kb - so this would appear to be the relevant file.
Have also now followed the Help>System information path on the new computer and the My Catalog folder also contains a file "catalog.pse7db". But file size is only 119Kb - so clearly not the version from the old machine.
Not sure if this might be relevant but have just noticed a slight difference in the locations indicated by Photoshop
On old machine this is C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\Catalogs\My Catalog
On new machine this is C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\Catalogs\My catalog
Also just noticed that the bottom part of the dialogue box on new computer indicates "Operating System name = Vista Version 6.1"
Puzzling - as new machine definitely has Windows 7 installed and have never had Vista on either computer.

Unable to open PDFs with CR in the file name or folder name?

We are unable to open any PDFs with capital CR in the title of the document or if they are stored in a folder with CR in the name of it. This is quite a large problem as we are a CRC (Cooperative Research Centre) and need to use this in most file and folder names.

Can you please update to the latest version of Adobe Reader available i.e. 10.1.4 (By clicking on Help > Check For Updates from within the Reader application). This should fix your issue.

Unable to open files with Mediasource - Ze

I just purchased the Creative Zen Micro player, and am successfully ripping CDs. However, I cannot use the MediaSource program to actually open or listen to any files on my harddri've or CDs. I get the following message - Unable to open the necessary device(s) for playback. It may be in use or unavailable.
I don't have a clue what's going on. My audio device is SoundMAX Digital Audio... I don't know if that helps or means anything....but I'm lost. I appreciate any help out there!

Go to the Windows Control Panel and ensure that playback device is set correctly.

Unable to open PDFs with AR 11.0.9 on MacBook Pro due to updates.

Beginning in early Sept. 2014, unable to open PDFs from trusted sources on MacBookPro (MBP) OS 10.9.4 running current AR 11.0.9. Previously, these documents could be downloaded and opened. Interestingly, an iMAC running OS 10.7.5 running AR 10.1.2 can download and open these PDFs. PDFs created by MBP or received via email can be opened. AR on MBP has been uninstalled and reinstalled several times. Suggestions? Please ... no "go insert this code" responses.

Hi MBP User,
Are you still facing this issue?
Have you tried to uninstall and reinstall. Is this issue reproducible on other machines, if you have around you.

HT6114 unable to open windows with bootcamp

I have been using windows 7 in boot camp since two days I am trying to open windows but unable to open in windows.

How is Windows installed?
If you installed Windows using Boot Camp Assistant you don't "open" Windows you boot into Windows.
If ypou installed Windows in a virtual machine you must start the virtual machine before turning on Windows from within the virtual machine.

I believe I've found the fix for this issue. After opening a ticket with MS support and not getting anywhere with this issue I decided to do an in-depth review of all the Project and SharePoint 2013 CU's starting with December 2013 to September 2014.
To my amazement buried inside the July 2014 CU was a hotfix for this issue described almost word for word. (I will list all the relevant KB's at the end) I contacted my support engineer inquiring about this hotfix and he stated it wasn't relevant because
the "Synchronize Project Web App permissions to Project Site" was not failing or even generating any warnings in our Prod or Test environments. I stated that is not always an indicator as ULS doesn't always catch all relevant errors.
I informed him that I also found a second hotfix pertaining to the same issue released August 2014, apparently the first hotfix in July didn't totally resolve the issue and a second hotfix was released. He was adamant that this would not resolve
our issue and he requested or production databases because he was unable to replicate the issue in his test environment. The reason, you may wonder, is because he was at a higher patch level that our farm.... Obviously! His farm had the most current
CU which included the hotfixes from July and August. Apparently he didn't see the flaw in his logic.
I decided to install the September CU on our test farm. Low and behold that fixed the problem, even though MS support stated the hotfix was not relevant to our issue. I learned a long time ago to take MS support comments as suggestions instead
of gospel truth, this isn't the first time they have confidently given me erroneous information.
We are currently doing further testing to verify that this CU didn't break something else. Unfortunately these rollups are not GA and Microsoft is very clear that you should only install them if the hotfixes pertain directly to your issue.
Finding the hotfixes was a chore as Microsoft loves to create multiple KB's for the same thing and then nest (bury) them so you have to dig through four or five KB's to find the relevant fix. I'll save you the trouble and list them below.

September CU Webcast Brian Smith and team go into depth explaining why this issue has been happening and how they fixed it.

Unable to open Catalog link in SRM Portal

Hi Gurus,
I am working with SRM-MDM Shopping cart application when i try to access the catalog for shopping cart portal it is giving a blank page. can anybody help me out to configure it.
Thanks
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
Please ensure that your MDM server is running and repository is loaded.
Also check similar threads with same problem:
Error connecting to Catalog; contact your System Administrator
Error connecting to Catalog; contact your System Administrator
Unable to connect to Catalog
This problem seems to be more towards with Call structure Configuration.
Please define parameters carefully during defining webservice like repository name which is case senstive, ensure you have the same case senstive name for repository which you defined for SRM MDM in MDM Console. Also check for other parametrs too.
Hope it helps..

Unable to Open Project Site Access Denied Issue Project 2013

This issue is happening to select projects and select project managers, they can view certain project sites but receive the error on other projects. After some extensive testing
it looks like if the PM is the owner of the project plan they are not getting added to any of the synced groups for the project site. I can change the project owner to any another PM and it processes correctly and adds them to the PM synced group on
the Project site. As soon as I make the original PM the Project plan owner again the previous PM gets removed from the PM synced group and added to the Team member synced group, the way its supposed to work. However the PM with the problem never
gets added to any group. I have to manually add them to the non-synced Owner group on the project site so they don't get removed from the synced PM group the next time the sync runs at midnight.
As I stated it is happening on select project plans and select PMs. I have tried replublishing the project plan via Project professional and the web and the results are the same.
If I create a new project plan and assign one of the PMs with the issue to the plan everything works correctly. We noticed the issue a few weeks ago; most of the plans with the issue are several months to a year old so they were working correctly until
recently. They had also made PM owner changes prior to the issue on most of those plans and everything worked correctly.
If anyone is experiencing this issue and has a fix please let me know. I am trying not to open an MS support ticket if possible.

Unable to open pdf with embedded flash

Started with Adobe Reader XI (11.0.0.2)
Was running into problems in an app because the new reader version does not work the same way in regards to Find.
Downloaded the Adobe SDK (XI) and tried to open some of the documentation.
Recieved a message that I needed to install flash, did so, "Adobe Flash Plater 11 Active X" shows as installed (along with a bunch of stuff I did not want). Tried again to open the document and it still gives the same message.
What can I try now.
I am unable to change versions of Adboe Reader at this point as changing it would negate the problem I'm trying to solve in the first place.

For Adobe Reader XI you will need to install the Flash Player plugin; download the installer from http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player.exe

Unable to open files with unicode filenames

Hi,
I am attempting to load a file that contains unicode
characters in the filename with the Flash Player 9 ActiveX control
but I am unable to do so. If however I switch my system's code page
via the regional and language options to a code page that contains
the characters, then the file opens successfully.
For example, if I attempt to load a file named
fileβ.swf, it fails to load. However if I switch my language
settings to Greek (code page 1253) then the file opens
successfully.
Can anyone shed any light on this issue?

Unable to open Database: TrueSuite Access Manager

Every time I attempt to register fingerprints in the TrueSuite Access Manager, I receive an error that states that it failed to open the specific database.

Hi there, I have the same problem on a Portege R500, short history:
1. Vista was installed with BIOS and HDD password + fingerprint - worked fine
2. Installed XP with the recovery image, re-formatting the HDD
3. The BIOS and HDD fingerprint was accepted (!) - i.e. he remembered the fingerprints on the board
4. But the Windows welcome screen showed "please wait"
5. New installation of actual version of True Suite Software did not help
6. When running the Access Manager and trying to record new fingerprints, it shows "error: database not found"
7. Another observation: clicking delete fingerprint reveals a fingerprint with a scrambled name, it can't be deleted
8. Ignoring the fingerprint reader works (on BIOS, HDD and Windows logon)
9. I believe it would have been better to delete the BIOS and HDD fingerprint in Vista before installing XP. Now there is an inconsistency between the fingerprints on the board and in the Software database - does that help?
Thanks for keep working on it,
Regards
