I have ArcGIS desktop 10.5, and I have gistutorial for ArcGIS 10.1, I can't open gdb file from the exercises, I made the connection with ArcCatalog, it show me the gdb file but I can't open; error message appear
May be some files missed .
Do Two GDB in the 2 paths (GDB opened / GDB not opened) have same size in memory? (that's if you don't edit any feature inside GDB)
Thanks, for you Help I was following the adviser of GEONET but I Couldn't find a solution but you can see when I open the gdb files from the finished exercises of tutorial solution in the same Path open but the gdb files in MyExercises doesn't
So I'm coping the gdb files from solution and using some shape files to continuing my tutorial thanks any way for you help

I don't remember their being a difference in the file gdb structure between v 10.1 and recent versions, but try moving the chapter5.gdb folder to another folder, just in case it is a permissions issue.
and just to throw another question out there....is there a particular reason you are try to do a tutorial from 10.1 when you have 10.5 installed? Have you checked out Get started with ArcMap—Help | ArcGIS Desktop tutorials, or some of the other free training available thru training.esri.com or the various videos available? They may have the same type of lessions but will include the mdiore up to date interface and tools. Just a thought.
Hi xander I'm sending a screenshot of the data inside
Chapter5.gdb looks empty. What data are you expecting in it, according to the tutorial?
Appropriate Excerpt/Screenshot from the tutorial would be helpful.
Thanks for you help but I have the problem yet ,
You can't just add a geodatabase to ArcMap. It is not a file (consider it as a folder, as mentioned by Xander). You can add the Feature Classes/ Feature Dataset (within Geodatabase) from ArcCatalog to ArcMap. Also you could add the features classes/Datasets using Add Data option.
If with "gdb" you refer to a FileGeodatabase it will be a folder with an extension ".gdb" that will be recognized by ArcGIS as a geodatabase. If in this "folder" a file or set of files are missing, ArcGIS will not be able to open it. It would be helpful if you post a screenshot of how the "gdb" appears in ArcGIS 10.5 and the actual error message that is displayed.
