Windows unable to read file type

When I tried to download the iTunes setup the computer would not accept it when it finished downloading. It said that it could not read the file type, and then it just showed the download as failed.

Hi,
I found you replied in a similar thread, did you try the workaround (Reset the IE) that provided there? Did you change a browser to test?
Then, I suggest we use Process Monitor to do further troubleshooting. Please collect all the actions of IE.exe and Excel.exe, and check the if there are some
error message/code during you open XLS file from IE 11.
Hope it's helpful.

Why does my windows phone say it is unable to download file type when trying to install firefox browser?

I have no restrictions on phone. I tried to be safe and use security features like... Safe search,cookie block and such. However it keeps saying unable to download file type when I try and install any of the up to date browsers. This is interesting to say the least. Because my browser is already using the most up to date version. I have internet explorer using a windows 8 nokia

hello, the mobile version of firefox isn't available on the windows phone platform: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/will-firefox-work-my-mobile-device#w_other-operating-systems|Will Firefox work on my mobile device?]
there have been technical and legal hurdles in the app store originally which discouraged mozilla from starting any developments in this direction. i don't know about the current situation, but since mozilla is now focusing its energies on creating firefox os as open source web-based platform, i doubt that you will see firefox on your windows phone device in the foreseeable future...

"Unable to read file" error in Excel 2010 when downloading .xls file from IE11

We have lots of reports that have links for our users to be able to download report results in Excel format. We accomplish this by using the Excel mime type in our .asp pages. Sporadically, we are seeing "Unable to read file" errors in Excel 2010
after choosing Open from the IE11 save dialog. Choosing Save/Save As and the file will open just fine.
Also, we can sometimes cause the error to occur more frequently by switching windows during the time when the file is downloading.
If the file is opened directly from /Temporary Internet Files then it opens just fine.
Window 7 64-bit
Thanks in advance!

You could try Videora (http://www.videora.com/) - the downside here is that they have specific versions for specific phones, and sometimes it will makea file that plays perfectly in the desired phone but can't be shared to other models. The don't show a version for the N79, but try the N96 one because the N96 is the most similar OS to yours that they offer.

Unable to read file. may be in use missing or corrupt

I'm trying to transfer my music from Zen Micro to pc. Some music transfered but most didn't. When I try to transfer I get that message " Unable to read file, may be in use missing or corrupted. Did the disc cleanup for zen also. Any help would be great.

Agapyla, two possible reasons you can't see the .idlk files. One, you're looking in the wrong place, or two, your OS doesn't consider .idlk files to be "system files."
Option 1: In InCopy or InDesign, click inside the story you're locked out of, and open the Links panel. That story will be highlighted. Right-click on the highlighted story and choose Reveal in Finder (or Reveal in Explorer if you're on Windows). That will bring you to the folder where the InCopy story (ICML) is. It is inside that same folder where you'll find the IDLK file. A story's IDLK file is always at the same level as its ICML file. It might be at the top or bottom of the list of files in that folder if you're viewing them as a list sorted alphabetically. So scroll through.
Option 2: See if there's a setting in your OS to view "invisible" files, or Google for a utility. I think "system" and "invisible" are the same, but maybe not. Personally I use my FTP program which lets you see your local hard drive on one side of the window and the remote server on the other side. The FTP program defaults to showing *all* files on both sides. So for me it's a quickie way to see the IDLK files. The IDLK files begin with characters that force the OS to not show them, like a period or a tilde.
Honestly, if you're seeing a slash through a pencil icon, that file is locked, so there's an IDLK file somewhere. That's the only way ID or IC will show that icon.
In case of emergency: In InDesign (can't do this in InCopy), select the locked story and Unlink it in the Links panel from the Links panel menu. It breaks the link to the original ICML file an turns it back into a normal InDesign text frame. Then select the frame, and export it to InCopy format again *with a different filename* than before, but saves it to the same place as the other ICML stories for that layout.

Error 16: unable to read file

Hi,
when opening this file in adobe acrobat x pro, everything goes well. But as soon as my employee starts to edit the file, like cutting a page out of it, he gets error 16: unable to read file. There's pretty no more information to give you, it's as simple as that?! It's with one file only, so far, others work great.
Anyone any idea what is happening here?
Thanks,

Robert
would there be any red flag, so to speak, other than file size, to tell me I've found what I'm looking for?Not knowing the program, I don't know what it might name its temporary files, if any, so size would be the best indicator.
Is there any particular place I should look for the temporary fileWell, there are standard places where Unix puts temporary files, /tmp and /var/tmp, but you can't navigate to these by icon since they are normally invisible. However, in WhatSize …
Click on the Folder icon, then (with cursor already in the Search box) type '/'. A sheet with "Go to the folder" drops down. Complete the path to say "/tmp" and click "Go", when you'll get a column view of the contents which you can navigate normally, then "Open" to see details. You can do the same with "/var/tmp". Probably the files you see here will be quite small, but you may be lucky.

"Problem: Unable to play file type for...". Moderator please help

When using the spotlfy app from squeeze box I get this message every time: "Problem: Unable to play file type for" then list the song name. I can pick the music and see the art but no play. This is when I am attempting to stream from spotlfy on squeeze box. Logitech customer service told me spotlfy has not been running on squeezebox for weeks. Please help or I'll have to cancel subscription.

The 3rd party plug-in solved this problem for me, but only after I'd figured out a few other things, so I'm sharing them here: a) You have to have BOTH plug-ins running, both the v 1.0 "official Spotify plug-in " *and* the third party plug-in, which is on v2.3.8 as I write this. b) after you have activated the third party plug-in (and re-started the Squuezebox server) You have to open up the settings for the plug-in ( link in the far right colum) I don't think it matters how you choose to set these (I didn't mess with them.) The critical thing is that you must log into your Spotify account from within the this plug-in settings screen in order for the 3rd party plug-in to do its job. (And maybe you'll have to re-start the Squeezebox server yet again. I just do that without even thinking when trying to sort out these problems.) What makes this all challenging is that the symptoms change at each step: At first, with just the official plug-in activated, I got the "can't read file format" error message. After activating the 3rd party plug in (but before logging in from inside it) Spotify appeared to be working perfectly on the screen of my Squeezbox controller, indicating that a song was playing (even the bright white light that shows something is streaming was lit.) However. no sound was actually coming through. After I logged in as above, I finally got music to match all the on-screen indications. No logic to this that I can figure out. It just seems typical of life with Squeezebox.

Unable to read file - opening a html file with excel

Hi all,
I have the next issue: I have developed a report on HTML format, however when I export this one (to excel) I save the file with a 'xls' extension, however, (in excel 2007), when I try to open the file I get the error "Unable to read the
file".
can you help me with this issue?

Hi,
Did you create a PivotTable report in the file? As your description, the HTML format could be used correctly in Excel 2007. Did you get the other error message?
Such as,Unable to read file.
When you click OK, you receive the following error message:
Errors were detected in '<var>filename</var>.xls', but Microsoft Excel was able to open the file by making the repairs listed below. Save the file to make these repairs permanent.
PivotTable report '<var>report_name</var>' on '[<var>filename</var>.xls]worksheet_name' was discarded due to integrity problems.
Please try to use the workaround:
Turn off AutoRecovery when you work with any workbooks.Click Excel button>Excel options>Save>Uncheck AutoRecovery
Following this, if the issue exists, I recommend you fix the issue the following KB：

Intermittent 'Unable to read file' error when exporting/opening .html to .xls

Hi, hope someone can help.
I have an issue where I export a report from the Salesform platform to Excel. The file that is being exported is in html format and the report does not include any Pivot tables.
The 'Unable to read file' error occurs intermittently, when Excel is already open and you export/open it from Salesforce...
Have tried using Excel in safe mode with all the add-ins disabled and still no joy. The
Do not save encrypted paged to disk option has been un-ticked the in Internet Options -> advanced.
The issue happens in IE and other browsers, after raising the issue with Salesforce support they advised to raise the issue with MS instead, so here I am to see if anyone can help!
Any help would be much appreciated

Tools>Internet Options>Advanced tab, uncheck "Do not save encrypted files to disk"
check your GPO settings to see if you have configured this to be unchecked.
Thx.

Unable to read file

I have a wedding project in Final cut express that was just about finish. It was left to render. When I came back the G5 had a system failure so I restarted. When it was back on I got into another project I was working on. Just a few minutes ago I tried to get into the first project and a message comes up saying "Unable to Read File" I can only click okay and when I do, I see the orignal project with none of my edits. What in the world happened? and how do I get my project back? This is very important.

It looks like you did not have Autosave Vault turned on in User Preferences (which would have provided you with an earlier version of your project). I suggest that you make a Finder search in all Hard Drives, looking for the name of your failed project file, in case there is an earlier copy saved somewhere else. Perhaps you saved it by mistake somewhere else, or FCE did make an Autosave but put it somewhere else. I'm sorry, but I can't suggest anything else.
But here's a thought: are you getting "Media Offline" in your failed project? If so, you could reconnect the clips in the Browser and Timeline to their sources in the Capture Scratch area

Unable to change File Type for specific file extensions

Under Preferences->File Types different file extensions are assigned a file type e.g. The file extension .pkb is assigned the file type of PL/SQL. The file type of PL/SQL then opens the Code editor.
I have a user who would prefer to open .pkb files in the SQL Worksheet editor but I am unable to change the file type to SQL Script as the option is greyed out.
How do I change the File Type for these extensions? Is there a preferences file I need to change?
Version: 3.2.20.09
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
There is no preference but it turns out you can manually edit one of the preferences.xml files to force PL/SQL types to use the SQL worksheet editor. For SQL Developer 3.2.20.09.87 that file is system3.2.20.09.87\o.sqldeveloper.11.2.0.9.87\preferences.xml and will be located (on Windows 7, for example) in directory C:\Users\<userid>\AppData\Roaming\SQL Developer
No guarantee this will work in future versions of the product, but for now you can add the following two xml blocks...
For example, for .pls, add to <extensionToContentTypeMap ...>
            <Item>
               <Key>.pls</Key>
               <Value>TEXT</Value>
            </Item>
and <userExtensionList>
            <Item>
               <docClassName>oracle.ide.db.model.SqlNode</docClassName>
               <userExtensions class="java.util.ArrayList">
                  <Item class="oracle.ide.config.DocumentExtensions$ExtInfo">
                     <extension>.pls</extension>
                     <locked>false</locked>
                  </Item>
               </userExtensions>
            </Item> I researched this a while back after reading through some forum thread where someone claimed the PL/SQL file extensions got opened in the SQL editor in his environment, but without stating any specific release information. Possibly it worked for him then due to different product behavior (whether intentional or a bug), or perhaps even due to the technique described above.

Unable to change file type to audio book; previously able to.

I have some audio book files (mp3) that I have added to my iTunes library and am trying to change the type to "audio book" by doing the standard right click and get info and changing to audio book etc. However, iTunes is only actually changing them to audio books some of the time; the books that are and are not converting are both the same file type (mp3). Whenever it does not change it over, iTunes literally does not do anything (as in it does not try to change it and then fail). I am unsure what the issue is, can anyone help? Thanks!
