Photoshop :: Not A Valid Document After Time Machine Recovery And Reinstall Of CS4
Aug 12, 2013
After a time machine recovery most of my photoshop documents recovered fine, however there are a select few (and my most recent work unfortuantely) that seem corrupt. It isn't all of my documents. Trying to recover them again from back-up doesn't seem to be working. I did have to reinstall photoshop CS4 after the recovery.
I've tried opening with other programs, I've tried changing the file extentions etc. If the files were just corrupt recovering them from time machine should fix the problem.
I am a high school art teacher and this happened to one of my students. He was working on a PSD file, vectoring an image when PS6 quit unexpectedy. Now when we try to open the file there is an error message "Could not complete your request because it is not a valid Photoshop document." It still has the .psd extension. We are using Mac OS10.8.2. I tried opening it in Illustrator, Preview and Graphic Coverter without success.
Since upgrading to PS CS6 I too frequently get the following message when yrying to open a document: "Could not complete you request because it is not a valid Photoshop document". This never happened in CS5 and this is the 3rd or 4th time in CS6. The documents are quite simple. Only a few layers - just slightly adjusted photo graphs.
I am unable to open my own pdfs in my Photoshop (ones that I have created in same Photoshop).I get the message "This is not a valid Portable Document File (PDF) document. It cannot be opened."
I have to keep recreating the art...ugh!! Is there a way to pull up history to replicate my artwork until I get this resolved?
I get a "Could not complete your request because it is not a valid Photoshop document." error message whenever I try to open up a PSD file created on a Mac using Photoshop CC on my PC using CC. Other people have been able to open the file from the same location, so the files aren't corrupted.
So, I tried opening this document that was originally created on a Mac. I'm running photoshop on PC (windows 8, CS6). I keep getting this error message on many of the docs that my friend created on his mac.
"Could not complete your request because it is not a valid photoshop document"..I've checked the document extensions.
I recently reloaded my files from Time Machine, after having my had my hard drive replaced. Elements will not run, giving me error 150:30 and a message to the effect that my license is not working. Do I have to reload from disk?
Whenever I try to upload a picture to edit on photoshot it tells me "Could not complete your request because it's not valid Photoshop document". I don't understand what this means. Why can't I upload my picture? Am I clicking the wrong thing? I go under "File" in the upper left corner and scroll to "Open As... Alt+Shift+Ctrl+O" then it brings me to my photos I have saved on my computer, then I click on the photo I want to edit but the "Error" sign pops up. I'm using the 30 day trial so I dont have much time!
I want to uninstall Photoshop cs5 trial version from my Mac that was just restored via Time Machine.
A bit to background and the attempts that I have made:My iMac (running 10.6.8) recently had a drastic hard drive crash. Luckily I was able to get it up and running again to make a Time Machine backup. The hard drive had to be replaced, and I restored my mac using the last (post crash) Time Machine backup.
However, when I tried to run Photoshop I get a Configuration Error and it tells me to uninstall and reinstall, and also gives me an Error code 6. I tried to uninstall it with the photoshop uninstaller but it tells me I need to install the Application manager (with a link where to get it). I download and install it, reboot the computer (btw I am running as the Admin when trying to remove the program) and then tried to uninstall again but it fails. After searching around on the net I tried to use the CS cleaner tool but all it finds is the Application Manager.
I noticed today that I have a folder called "Lost and Found" on the root directory of my hard drive. Inside are various numbered folders and some contain various Adobe files and folders such as CS5 service manager app, AMT, lenses, etc.
I am using the CS5 with RAW support version for D800 without any problem before. I am not very sure the RAW support version that I use in the past.
But after I restore my iMac with the latest time machine file. CS5 cannot open the RAW file for D800 anymore, I try to install the latest RAW file version 6.7 for CS5, but when I click to check the RAW support version in CS5, it keeps showing version 6.6.
I lost an edit I was working on and Time Machine has complete backups for the past several days. I can see and find the backup copy in Time Machine in /usr/discreet/project/ . I can extract it from Time Machine. But how can I make Smoke aware of it and open it?
I tried a few things like I have an existing project called "/usr/discreet/project/Project1", I removed it and put my backup in the same place with the same name, but that doesn't work either.
I’ve just worked on a series of clients drawing using AutoCad 2009. They are using AutoCad 2013. out of 20 or so drawings several drawings when opening with 2013 open up with Errors requesting recovery is required due to any number of errors ranging from 3 to 7 on average. The error message asks [yes] to recover and it aborts or [no] to continue and the drawing opens ok without further error. If I recover the drawings, and save-as 2013 or other, the same errors appear regardless. However if I open the same drawings using my version of 2009, I didn’t get any errors. The original drawings were compatible with 2009 without conversion.
Got a new computer. Copied and upgraded Photoshop CS2 to CS5. I would like to give the old computer to a family member or friend. Will they be able to use the CS2 on the old machine? (an iMac 10.6) or is that the end of that CS2?
"Could not complete you request because it is not a valid Photoshop document"
The files which are donig this are Photoshop files. I have tryed different versions because i have more than one. I have also tryed opening it in different programs but that didn't work either.
In October 2012 I purchased a new Dell computer with Windows 7. Now when I open CorelDraw 3x the program will only open (and/or show) one document at a time.
When i start corel it takes really long time to create new document. Or when i save document it also takes a lot of time. I resest workspace, clear temp directory, what else could i do?? This all started without any reason. I shout down pc, and now i turned it on, and since then corel is not working ok...
I'm testing out Photoshop CS6 to see if there's much a difference between CS5, and i'm noticing that there's no Recovery mode in Camera RAW for my file, they seemed to have changed Camera RAW a lot.
Is there no Recovery setting anymore? I have been using this since CameraRAW essentials, which Adobe ended up purchasing so i had to use Camera RAW.
How do I get the recovery slider to show up in ACR? When I open an image there is no recovery slider under my exposure slider. When I open images previously edited in Photoshop Elements the slider appears in CS6 ACR. I want it there all the time as default.
I'm just trying to understand the reasoning behind the fact that seeminly every other product out there has an autosave and recovery feature..why am I paying so much for a product that will eventually crash and I lose all my work since my last save?
I need to recover a B&W, fairly high-res image made up of only black and white pixels (a halftone, but individual pixels, not circular patterns for printing). The goal is to make it look more or less like a regular greyscale, so it loses that grainy look when printed. The detail is there, it's just muddled by this.
The best solution I've found so far is a gaussian blur to mix everything together. Sadly, this leaves everything rather noisy. Is there a better way than just blue + noise removal + unsharp mask? Or is this the standard prescription for such an image.
After a system recovery on my HP, the Photoshop Elements 6 program will not reinstall. All other programs are up and running. The install from the disk appears to be successful, but I don't get the window to enter the serial number. When I click on the icon, nothing happens. Uninstall and reinstall results in same situation. I have Windows Vista 2007. Adobe gave it a case #184059543, but will not support it due to it being an "old" program.
I inadvertently saved a document as a jpg and wondered if there is any way I can convert it to a document file that is handled more easily with a file that is other than a photo file?
I have read several forums about how to disable the auto-recovery feature. However, I don't want to disable the auto-recovery because I like that it saves my work in case of crash.
It's just annoying that every time I open Photoshop all those previous files auto open. Is there anyway to make it stop? I read that there is a file that you delete, but will that stop the auto-recovery feature?
