Unable to open linked files in new CS3 install

One of my clients just purchased a new PC (Dell Inspiron 537S) with Windows Vista Home Premium to replace his old Inspiron 530 (also running Vista HP). After installing CS3 Design Studio and attaching an external drive loaded with his file archive, all of his Illustrator files which include links load with the following error:
"An error occurred trying to read the linked file "file.xxx". Choose Repair to locate the missing file, Replace to select another file or Ignore to leave the link unchanged."
This shouldn't be unusual, if the path to a linked file has changed, you'd need to point the link to the new path, but clicking Repair or Replace and browsing to the linked file (which invarably is in the same directory as the .ai file, and is usually a .psd which opens just fine in Photoshop) just cycles back to the same error message, ad infinitum. After about 30 tries, I got one of the links to load correctly, resaved the document, thinking that would repair it, but when I opened it again, got the error.
These files were created on multiple computers, and none of the other computers (all with CS3) have ever had any trouble opening them. This despite the drive letter on the external drive being unstable on the old system (would often be J:, K: or L:, and images always worked).
Any new .ai files we create on this file which have links all work fine.
Manually replacing the links in a file is not an option for two reasons:
1. There are thousands of .ai files in this archive, and re-linking images in them will take weeks.
2. It simply doesn't work. I tried ignoring the error on one file to load it, and re-linking the .psd backgrounds to re-save it, and the images still didn't load after re-linking them.
I have already tried doing a factory-restore of the system and reinstalling CS3, making sure that there were no errors in the install. What else might cause this behavior, and how can I resolve it?

What else might cause this behavior, and how can I resolve it?
Outdated permissions on the files from your old computer. Right-click, Properties --> Security --> Advanced, disable Inherit settings from parent folders, chose to copy. After that, delete outdated security keys and assign current ones. You may even need to go so fart as to Take Ownership of some files to correctly restore the new system's default security settings.

Open linked files in new page? Anchor tags?

I'm making a website for a friend's Pilates studio in iWeb 2008. She has her class schedules as PDF documents, which I've linked in, but there appears to be no way to choose for the PDF to open in a new window (unlike web page links, which come with a little box to check if you want to open them in a new window).
Also, her husband has requested anchor tags on some of the pages.
My questions: Is there a way to do this in iWeb 2008? Could I do it if I could access the code? Is there a way to access the code for a specific page?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Gwen

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Anchors are not supported in iWeb (send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iweb.html).
As far as having pdfs open in a new window you have to first upload the pdf file to the server and then use the hyperlink to a external page and enter the URL to the file on the server. I have a couple of examples on this demo page: LinkTestPage . The links are on the right side of the page and the URL used is listed (for a MMe account).

Unable to open pdf files even though have installed the latest version of adobe reader

New computer. Old computer had windows 7, new one has windows 8. On the old computer I can open the files, and I can download fillable forms and save them. On the new computer I can not open some files, and the fillable forms will only save empty, not completed.

pissed off adobe user wrote:
I get the error message that says if this page does not go away, that I need to install/upgrade Adobe reader.
This means that you are using a browser that uses its own (incompatible) PDF viewer, not the Adobe Reader plugin.
To configure Chrome or Firefox see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-browser-plugin-configuration.html
I don't know about Windows 8, or if/how its PDF viewer is integrated in Internet Explorer.

Unable to open DNG files in Photoshop CS3

i have tried pulling these onto the alias and opening from within photoshop, but always get the error message "photoshop does not recognize this type of file"
i looked into the DNG converter, but obviously that only converts things to DNG files.
any help is appreciated.
JB

Thanks for the comment -
I am on a Mac.
By alias I mean that I drag a file to the dashboard to launch it.
When I go to "file/open" from within Photoshop I can not see any DNG reference, nor will it allow me to open a DNG file. They all appear greyed out.
Attaching screen grabs.

Hi,
It looks like problem /tmp file system. Generally contents in this file system are temporary.
I think you have to start the installation again but this time I would suggest you to not use /tmp as installation directory.
Thanks

I am unable to open raw files from my Canon T1i in Adobe Camera Raw of my version CS3 of Photoshop. I have tried to update my ACR by downloading version 4.6 from the Adobe website but I am still unable to open raw files, just JPEG. Is there a way to use

I am unable to open raw files taken on my Canon Rebel T1i in my version of Photoshop CS3. When I import raw files into Bridge they come up as patches with CR2 on them and when clicked on, a notice comes up stating that Photoshop does not recognize these files. I tried to update my Adobe Camera Raw by downloading version 4.6 from the Adobe Website, but when I clicked on the plus-in, I got another message that Photoshop does not recognize this file. I spoke with a representative from Canon who said that I could not update CS3 and that I should subscribe to the Cloud. I would prefer to use my CS3, if possible. Can anyone advise me what to do?

The T1i was first supported by Camera Raw 5.4 which is only compatible with CS4 and later
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
Some options:
Upgrade to CS6
Join the Cloud
Download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all T1i Raw files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS3

This could be a Launch Services issue. The following article describes how to manually reset Launch Services — the notes at the bottom of the article also provide information about the side effects of deleting each of the files involved:
Resetting Launch Services
If you prefer using a cache cleaning utility instead of following the manual procedure described in the previous article, take a look at this other article for general troubleshooting and cache-cleaning procedures. Actually, you should also verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described there:
Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption
The most appropriate utility for this particular problem probably is Tiger Cache Cleaner, but you may also want to consider other utilities, such as OnyX, or Cache Out X, which are free. Whatever utility you choose, be sure to read this first:
Side effects of System cache cleaning
As an example, this is how you should proceed with OnyX:
1. Quit all applications.
2. Launch OnyX and enter your administrator password.
3. Go to Maintenance > Reset and check LaunchServices database.
4. Un-check any other pre-checked options.
5. Click the Execute button.
6. Restart the computer.
BTW, if you’re running Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), as your profile indicates, it would have been more appropriate to discuss this in the Mail & Address Book - Tiger forum. If the discussion applies to both Mail 1.x and Mail 2.x, it doesn’t really matter, but it’s difficult to know that in advance.

Since last update, unable to open PDF files from either banking site. The other (IE) works fine but I hate IE. I deleted newer versions and went back to older releases. No help, same thing. Checked settings in options. That is ok. What's up?

Unable to open PDF files from my banking statements.

I think almost every dev is on arch-general, so that is the place to contact the group in general. Specific points can probably be emailed to the dev involved, if one is identifiable and if the bug tracker is not a better place (bug reports to my email get ignored).
I think the whole problem here is that there is really no dev in charge of that package. So your emails were probably seen then skipped over by all devs thinking not my problem... (I know that is true for me). Then Andrea noticed an "orphan" package that needed updated and went ahead with it without connecting it to your previous emails, which is unfortunate.
Now our maintainer backend is fixed, hopefully we can get all the orphan packages adopted out, or at least know if we need to bring on new people to maintain them. That way, there should always be someone who information about specific packages should be sent to.

I am unable to open a new window / open link in a new window

In the previous Firefox versions we are able to open a new window & open link in a new window. The feature is there when you "right click" on the tab or click on the "open a new window" but it simply not functioning

Link context method works for me, there have been many complaints that the first two items were switched, and that can be easily modified with the "'''Menu Editor'''" extension.
If it does not work for you an extension might be involved.
There is also the mouse shortcut '''Shift+click''' on the link. Called mouse shortcut because it involves the mouse.

"Unable to open project file" message in final cut express 3.5.1

I have (well had now) a project with 3 video clips and multiple .psd files as stills. When the project contains just the 3 video clips and a couple of transitions I can save the project and quit Final Cut Express and relaunch FCE and when I try to re-open the same project, it opens just fine, without any problems and just the way I expected it to be. After editing the same project for a couple of hours and saving along the way (this has happened twice now and I don't think the length of time of editing matters) and adding multiple still images to the 3 video clips (this part is new in my working with FCE); I save and quit. When I return to open the same project I get the message "Unable to open project file" and click the OK button, which is my only option and I am given a new blank project. So where did my work go???

Thank you for the response, but it hasn't worked yet...
I read the link. I am working off my internal drive.
I re-named the Capture Scratch folder, and any Render folders and then launched FCE. I was presented with a window that reads "To preserve the integrity of the data used by Final Cut Express HD, it is necessary to ensure the existance of the following path(s)" The path in the box below is where my project file and support files are. My 3 options are Quit, Check again and Reset Scratch disk. I choose the Reset Scratch Disk button and it took me to the Scratch Disk window and I Set/Created a new folder and clicked Choose and then OK back at the Scratch Disk window and Continue at the initial window... the Reset Scratch disk button is now labeled Continue. I am given a new Untitled Project work space. I tried to open my project file and once again with the message "Unable to open project file".
Where did I go wrong???

Unable to open mxml files since 4.7

Ever since I upgraded to Flash builder 4.7 I have been unable to open mxml files for editing.
These files in question are in an app that references a lot of other libs in the same project.
.as files open fine.
I get no error, it just hangs.
I only updated today and now am unable to do any work. Anything I can turn off or do to get this thing working?

I was having the same problem and was able to create a simple use case for reproducing. I believe the Flash Builder is getting stuck in an infinite loop when components are structured in a specific way.
For my example I created a new application and two components that extend group ParentGroup and ChildGroup. The ParentGroup and ChildGroup each had a public member variable of type Object and had a [Bindable] metadata tag, name thing1 and thing2 respectively.
1. I added a ParentGroup instance to the Application.
2. I added a ChildGroup instance as a child element in the ParentGroup and set the thing2 property on the ChildGroup instance to the thing1 property of the ParentGroup.
3. I added a ParentGroup instance as a child element in the ChildGroup and set the thing1 property of the ParentGroup instanct to the thing2 property of the ChildGroup.
If I closed the project and then reopen it, I can no longer open any MXML files. As soon as I comment out the setting of the thing1 property in the ChildGroup's ParentGroup instance all is well.
Of course in practice this would never make sense, so I actually took it a step further and created a SampleVO object that had an ancestor member variable of type SampleVO. This simulates a simple parent child relationship. I updated the Object member variables thing1 and thing2 to be SampleVO objects instead. I also updated the thing1 attribute that was getting set in ChildGroup's ParentGroup to be thing2.ancestor. This is a bit more realistic as it is something we actually do in our real project.
I am going to attach the FXP to https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-35854

EDIT: The Jira system seems to no longer be relevant with the move to Apache Flex. Here is a link to my sample project: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4584717/MyTest.fxp

ERROR: Unable to open structapps file!

Hello,
Having modified the structapps.fm in FM10, I am getting the following error within a dialog when attempting to use the same file in FM8:
ERROR: Unable to open structapps file! FA_errno -43
Is FM not backward compatible ? OR do I need to reread the file in FM8
Thanks

The file should be saved in the FM version that you're using it in. You can't use any newer FM version file in any older version of FM, e.g. FM8 can't open any FM10 files (except for the MIF formats).

Hey guys,
So this is follow up from my debarkle with the EDD. I found out my problem with copying files from Mac to EDD and vice versa was a result of a not so good EDD ( i had an apollo hard drive from imation) that was not very compatible with macs. So i did my research and found out that the best hard drives were Western Digital and Seagate. I bought the newest western digital EDD 1TB and formated it to FAT32 and guess what...no problems so far. The only problem is that FAT32 format doesn't copy files larger than about 4 gigs so i couldnt copy a movie from my brothers computer onto my EDD that was 1080p. You could probably resolve that by partitioning a small part of your hard drive in ExFAT? but yeah, hopefully that helped guys.

I am unable to open video files on this website.

When I click on video links of the following website--http://tubtub.com/--I receive an error message that reads as follows:
"File not found
Firefox can't find the file at mms://TITLE.tubtub.com/.
Check the file name for capitalization or other typing errors.
Check to see if the file was moved, renamed or deleted.
Try Again"
I had initially seen a window that was named "Launch Application," which, seemingly, allowed one to choose an application by which to open the video links. I chose my VLC player to do this and checked a box to associate this "Launch application" window with the VLC player, but received an error message that VLC was unable to open the file that began with an "mms" URL. Then I was never able to get back to that "Launch application" window to select another application, such as Windows Media Player, Real Player, etc. I even tried uninstalling my Firefox browser and the VLC player and reinstalling them both, all to no avail.
Please explain how I may get these video links to play and the "Launch Application" window to open again. I recall having used TubTub.com successfully before.
Thank you.
