Unknown File Type for Adobe Classroom in a Book Fireworks

I am trying to open sand_river1.jpg cited on p. 74 of Adobe Fireworks Classroom in a Book and am getting a "Could not open file" and "unknown file type" despite the fact that the image is displaying as a thumbnail in the file browser.  I get the message on both Windows and Mac Fireworks CS6.  Is it possible these publication assets were not part of Adobe's QA regression?  Anyway:
- I'd rather not try to fix this myself since it's an Adobe product and I can wait.
- has this problem been corrected?
- is there an errata site for the book?  When I search on Google I am just sent to Amazon and bittorrent.
thanks

A quick Google search for that file name confirmed the issue here, and a fixed version for chapter 4 can be downloaded at http://www.jimbabbage.ca/_files/ch4files.zip

  • Unknown File type for QFX with VMWare/Quicken

    I have quicken loaded in VMWare and want to open Quicken from my iMac when double clicking on the quicken QFX file.  I get an error msg "Unknown File type"

    actually, I was trying to open a Quicken for Windows file on my mac desktop.  I have quicken loaded on a Win7 virtual machine under VMWare Fusion.  I ended up solving the problem though, found a setting in the Win7 Default Applications to "Run Windows applications from your Mac's Applications folder".   Not sure why I didn't have this prob;em before my Mavericks upgrade, but all fixed now.  thanks for trying to help.

  • Problem Playing AVI Files From Adobe Classroom In A Book

    Hiya,
    I just bought the Adobe Classroom In A Book for Premiere Pro CS4.  However, when I try to run Lesson 1, Premiere Pro appears to be having a cow with the AVI file needed for the project.  It tells me that the codec is missing or unavailable.  I'm using a MacBook Pro on Leopard and, according to the updater agent, I'm up-to-date.  Has anyone tried this book?  And run into problems?  Any solutions to offer me?  This is driving me bonkers!
    Please and thank you!

    Hm-m, the DV-Type II's *should* play fine in QT. At least they do with QT on my PC. Adobe is usually pretty good at getting their CiaB assets X-platform. Wonder what's going on here. I think that this is the third thread on CiaB assets not playing on a Mac. Odd indeed, and probably just a "mess up" on someone at Adobe Press.
    Had similar with a Painter 3.0 book, years ago. The author had to send me 11 CD's before we found one that had the PC files on it. All the rest were Mac-only and she was really pissed at her publishing house. However, she hung in there, and we got it sorted out.

  • Fireworks CS4: could not open the file. Unknown file type

    Hello, this is the second file created with Fireworks CS4 that can't be opened. I'm using the same Fireworks installation that created the file. The file is a 1.2 MB file containing the pages of a draft for a new website.
    When I click on the file in Windows Explorer to open it, Fireworks tries to open it, but it can't. Instead, an alert pops up with this message: "Adobe Fireworks CS4 Could not open the file. Unknown file type"
    Working with Windows Vista Business, Adobe Web Premium CS4 suite
    I already tried opening the file, to no avail, with:
    -another computer with Windows XP Pro SP3 and the same Fireworks version
    -another computer with Windows XP Pro SP3 and Fireworks CS3
    -another computer with Windows XP Pro SP3 and Fireworks MX 2004
    Please help.

    I tried to find a solution for you by using:
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/search/index.cfm?loc=en_us&term=error%20opening%20file&cat=su pport&product=fireworks
    but I couldn't find anything.  You may want to give it a go  :-)
    Can you open the file in another program, maybe an earlier version of FWs, or Photoshop or even Illustrator if you have it?
    Not sure if there's a configuration folder that needs to be renamed and when FWs restarts it re-writes the config file... that's something to has to be done with DW when 'funny stuff' happens.
    That's the best advice I have, I'm sorry  :-(

  • I am working with Adobe 'Classroom in a book' and it's asking me for 'write access' when saving.

    I am working with Adobe 'Classroom in a book' and it's asking me for 'write access' when saving.
    How do I do that.
    I tried going to file >get info and it would not allow me to unlock.
    How do I do that?

    It sounds like the folder you are saving to does not have the proper permission for you to write to it. What OS are you using?

    I see several possibilities.
    1. What you are trying to load is not a shared library.
    2. The shared library is compiled incorrectly to match the process space of the VM. There can be any number of causes for this.
    Note that the word width mismatch strongly suggests the second.
    You should start by forgetting weblogic entirely. Write a simple java app and using an explicit path in the load() method, not loadLibrary(), get it to load. Until it works there it you have no chance in weblogic.

  • XML file considered "Unknown File Type"

    Hi,
    I have XML files that lack an XML declaration. Part of the import process, though, is an XSLT stylesheet that adds one through standard XSLT output (ie, omit-xml-declaration="no"). However, Frame still decides that it is an unknown file type and forces me to select "XML" in that dialog box.
    When I run an XML file through the stylesheet manually (with another processor), I see the declaration added. Furthermore, the externally-transformed file imports without a hitch.
    Any ideas why the declaration is not recognized when added by XSLT during the import process? More importantly, any ideas how to get around this?
    Thanks,
    Russ

    Sylvia, I used the following function, which shows the parameters for F_ApiOpen(). Note that this worked for the one problem I was having with the "unknown file type" dialog box. There are a myriad of other XML errors that can occur which you may not be able to get around.

  • Archived document showing unknown file type

    Dear all,
    Im having a big issue here.
    We are using Kofax to scan the document like expenses into the content server(maxdb)
    Previously the system is R3 4.7 with EP6. We are able to open the attachment without any issue.
    but recently the system has been upgraded to ECC6 7.01, and now the problem comes..
    when we click the attachment list, a windows will pop out and we have to save the file with unknown file type to local drive.
    Then we have to use the picture and fax viewer to open the saved attachment.
    There is no changes on the Kofax bacause we have other systems which with R3 4.7,and ECC6 7.00 are using the the same content server but without any issue.
    We usually saved the file with TIF.
    We found that the image saved with wrong content type.in OAAD the  "Content-type" is saved with value "i" .
    the correct value should be "Content-type" with value "image/tiff"
    We have used OAWD to save the TIF file but also having the same issue..

    Hi Jason,
    Check for the workstation application in DC 30 and define the mime types for all applications like .tiff,.docx i.e. office 2007 files. and second suggestion is that install ECL viewer 6 with patch , it's free at sap marketplace and check these files are opening properly.
    Hope this will resolve the query.
    Regards,
    Ravindra

  • PS CS3 unknown file type (?)

    Hi
    I've been working in PS CS3 with some images and went to open them tonight and PS gives me an error 'unknown file types' these images were created in PS CS3 and are .jpg
    Any ideas?

    Do you have finder set to show file extensions?
    If you aren't careful when saving, and when you rename a file from untitled.psd (default for new files in PS) to (name).jpg the extension can drop if you switch the file type first and then change the name. It may appear to save it as a jpg, but if it dropped the extension, the Mac Kernel will tell PS that it is an unknown file type, or a generic document and you'll see the error. Without showing extensions in Finder, you're none the wiser when it happens.
    Finder>Preferences and Advanced. Check the box to show extensions. Then look at the files to see if the extension dropped when you saved them.

  • Numbers error msg: "Unable to open ' .' Unknown file type."

    I last updated this doc 4 days ago, saving it every time I update it. I use it to track my children's school hours throughout the year. I have since restarted my Mac. I went to open this file today, and am getting the error message, "Unable to open ' (name of file)' Unknown file type.
    When I search for the doc under the spotlight, the name of it appears & it is listed as a Numbers doc, but I can't open it.

  • FW MX, Mac OSX: "unknown file type" error

    Hi everyone,
    I'm having troubles opening a file created in FW MX.
    When I first tried saving it, I got a message that the "file
    could not
    be found". I figured that was due to the enclosing folders
    containing
    accented characters and I saved it to the HD's root instead.
    That seemed to work fine, however when trying to open the
    file, it now
    tells me "Could not complete your request. Unknown file
    type."
    Any ideas?
    Cheers Martin

    Hello Issebek1 and welcome to the Palm forums.
    The Voice Memo application on the Treo 755p is not compatible with the Voice Memo conduit that is available for Palm Dektop on the Mac and the PC.  If you need to sync voice memos, you may need to purchase a third-party application for voice memos that can sync them back to your Mac.  I would check with MotionApps' mVoice.
    As for the duplicate calendar records, the log indicates that you are making changes to the record on the Mac and on the Palm without first performing a HotSync after changing the appointment on either side.  I would clean up the records on the Mac, and then set the Calendar conduit to Desktop overwrites Handheld and then perform a sync.  Then switch the Calendar contact back to Synchronize.

  • Rwservlet "unknown file type"

    Hi,
    I'm trying to run one of our standard reports on IE7 on one our company PCs using the standard URL produce PDF output....
    http://your_web_server:port_num/rwservlet?server=server_name&report=myreport.rdf etc etc....
    Now, bearing in mind that this runs fine on every other PC in the building fine and runs perfectly ok on Firefox on the same pc, can someone pls tell me why I am getting the following pop up..
    rwservlet "unknown file type"
    It then tries to get me to download rwservlet onto the PC and thats it! No report run after that.
    What is going on? Can someone enlighten me or even point me to an answer. I've tried searching but no joy.
    Thanks

    At a guess you are trying to generate an excel spreadsheet, and thats not opening in ie7, but is in firefox?
    Thats when I encountered this problem.
    Try this on a machine, then run again after.
    Solution
    To implement the solution, please execute the following steps:
    In the Windows environment:
    1) Start -> Run -> Regedit (to open the registry)
    2) Locate the following key path:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\
    FEATURE_ZONE_ELEVATION\iexplore.exe
    3) Change the value from '1' to '0'
    4) Ensure that the following settings for the .xls & .html file types are unchecked:
    a) Open Windows Explorer
    b) Goto Tools/Folder Options/File Types tab
    c) Select the Extension 'XLS' (or HTML) and Click on the Advanced button
    d) Un-check the option 'Confirm Open after Download' & 'Browse in same window'

  • Ld: fatal: unknown file type

  • Ld: fatal: file *.a unknown file type

    Hello
    I am using the Sun Forte 7 C compiler and have a strange linking error:
    Towards the end of the build script, the following compiler directive attempts to execute:
    -L/somepath -Bstatic -lnetsnmpmibs -lnetsnmpagent -lnetsnmphelpers
    I get the following error message:
    ld: fatal: file /emc/saffas/local/lib/libnetsnmpmibs.a: unknown file type
    ld: fatal: file /emc/saffas/local/lib/libnetsnmpagent.a: unknown file type
    ld: fatal: file /emc/saffas/local/lib/libnetsnmphelpers.a: unknown file type
    ld: fatal: file /emc/saffas/local/lib/libnetsnmp.a: unknown file type
    I looked at all of the compiler options as well as the READMEs for this compiler and have not been able to solve this problem. I thought this was the standard way to link static libraries. I added the -Bstatic option just in case and that didn't work.
    Any ideas on what I'm missing?
    Thank you,
    dedham_ma_man

    The option -lnetsnmpmibs (for example) tells cc to look for a library called netsnmpmibs. It finds netsnmpmibs.a, which it expects to be an archive library for the same computer architecture.
    The file is evidently something else. Run the "file" command to find out what the file is:
    % file /emc/saffas/local/lib/libnetsnmpmibs.a
    It should say that the file is an "ar archive". If not, that is your problem. Somehow the expected archives were overwritten or replaced by something else.
    You don't say what architecture you are using: 32-bit sparc, 64-bit sparc, or x86. Whatever you are compiling for, the components of the library must be compatible.
    Run the command
    % ar -t <archive>
    to get a list of the components of the archive. Let's suppose one of them is foo.o.
    Extract foo.o using the command
    % ar -x <archive> foo.o
    Run the command
    % file foo.o
    to find out whether the file is of the correct architecture. If not, you are looking in the wrong place for the library, or no library of the correct architecture is available.

    Looks like no one has the idea how pdf is showing pdf%20 instead. Maybe you need to convert the file to pdf using a pdf editing software. Read this article on [pdf unknown file type|http://www.pcperformancetools.com/how-to-repair-open-unknown-file-type-extensions.html] for more details, it also provides general insights on how to open unknown file types and repair file extension errors.
