We have just received an illustrator v17 file that we cant open with our boxed version 16.0.4...

is that is then - is this the start - it seems too soon - of the slippery slope that will see us have to upgrade to the new version - what meaningful reason makes these files incompatable... other than the obvious marketing ones...

Scott,
It is hard that it is completely impossible to open a newer version (with Clipping Masks/flattening/whatever). But maybe it is a protection against unnoticed crucial/unacceptable changes in the files.

  • Keep getting error code 2048 when trying to open wmv files, says realplayer cannot open with the installed version of Quicktime, any suggestions?

    Keep getting error code 2048 when trying to open wmv files, says realplayer cannot open with the installed version of Quicktime, any suggestions?

    wmv is a Windows Media format.  I don't know why Realplayer is coming into it since that deals primarily with Real format files and maybe a few generic formats.
    You need
    Free Flip4mac QuickTime player components - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx
    After installation a new Flip4Mac pane will appear in System Preferences.  Make sure you set the boxes to ensure that it will play WMV files in Quicktime.
    or play the files with VLC
    VLC media player - http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ - general media player that plays just about anything.
    While you're at it you might install:
    Perian codecs for Quicktime - http://www.perian.org - plugins to add functionality to Quicktime for playing additional audio and video formats
    Quicktime audio problems, Perian, VLC - http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9013669 - read note about uninstalling prior DIVX support before installing Perian.
    Perian doen't do WMV but it's handy to get many things to play in Quicktime.
    Note, if these are protected WMV, nothing on a Mac will play those (unless you also have Windows installed).

  • Why Adobe Reader XI cannot open a pdf file that can be opened with Reader 9?

    Why Adobe Reader XI cannot open a pdf file within a browser that can be opened with Reader 9?

    Hi Steve,
    Sorry, I cannot post a URL to the file because it is for intenal use only.
    I noticed that the pdf file can be opened outside of IE browser if I disable the Adobe Reader add-on (active-X) in IE browser. If I enable the Reader add-on, the Reader cannot complete the file download. The progress bar goes in a half way, and stays there.
    Just FYI, the pdf file was created by Distiller 7. Do you think it is the issue of Reader add-on? Thanks.

  • Is it possible to embed a file that can be opened with another app in IBA?

    We're making a music instructional book and would like to "embed" a .tef file that can be opened by the free tefPad reader:
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tefpad/id517830471?mt=8
    I don't think it is possible, but wanted to see if there is some trick we haven't found.
    Thanks much for any insights.

  • I have just received an iphone 4 from a friend and it is in software version 4.3.2 still and will not update to latest version. It updates for about 3o minutes and then an error reading that my interent connection timed out? Any suggestions?

    I have an Iphone 4 from a friend. It was never updated with him and now I am trying update to latest software version. It is currently in 4.3.2 and it updates till the last few seconds and then a message, with no error number, states that the internet connection had time out during update. I am using my PC and have tried unsuccessfully for a week. I have tried to restore setting on phone first before plugging in to PC and updating software through Itunes? I took it to my mobile phone outlet and they couldn't help? Is there another way?

  • CS6 download is a zip file that I cant open

    I followed all the prompting and ended up with a package that contained a zip file.
    when I double click on it it opens to another zip file. I was never prompted to open an installer (my research tells me I need this akamai installer). I didn't get the PKG or DMG. I'm soooo frustrated.
    pop ups are off.
    I have a brand new mac book pro running 10.9

    you downloaded the window installer.  delete it.
    if you follow all 7 steps, you can dl a trial via one of the links on this page:  http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs6-direct-download-links.html
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a dl problem, you didn't follow all 7 steps.  typically, failure to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 is the problem.

  • I have just received my new 160GB ipod... - some questions! Please help.

    Hi,
    I have just received my new 160GB ipod and have a few questions.
    1. I have been using a 3rd generation ipod for the past few years. I have an ipod dock that I got with that, can I use that with a firewire charger to charge the ipod?
    2. I do not want a big bulky case for the ipod. I have read that the front of the classic does not scratch very easily as the screen is glass. Can anyone confirm if this is true??
    I was going to buy some kind of a shield until i read this... do I need one?
    - What about the back of the ipod? How could I go about protecting this? Does anyone know if the Belkin protective overlays for ipod video fit? (Shown here - http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=257250).
    I have ordered some ipod socks off amazon (found some very cheap if anyone is interested - shown here http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0007TXTB6/). As I don't want a bulky case, will these protect my ipod enough?
    Sorry for all the questions, just that I have got my iPod but don't really want to use it until i've got some scratch protection on it.
    Thanks in advance,
    Matt

    Jake, you can charge with a firewire cable but you won't be able to sync or transfer.
    The Classic has a polycarbonate screen. Only the iPhone (Touch?) has a glass one.

  • HT201269 I have just received a new iPhone 4s and have connected to iTunes and done a restore but none of my purchased apps have come across. After the restore I click on done but the only option is to select my iPhone which takes me back to restore it ag

    I have just received a new iPhone 4s and have restored it from the last back up I did before I got the new phone, however, after I do the restore the only option I get is to click on "Done" at the top of the page but then no data or information from my phone shows up and when I click on the "iPhone" button on the top right hand side of the page it takes me back to the previous page and gives me the option to set up a new phone or restore again.  I have just restored my husbands iPhone 5 and had no issues at all.  They were both backed up on the same day last week.

    That does happen.  It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system.  If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.

    Where did you get the old one? If it came from the Middle East, FaceTime was removed from those due to government regulations. It can NOT be added back to them.
