Can you open Garageband '09 files in Garageband '11?

I've been wondering whether you can open a song made in Garageband '09 in Garageband '11? I want to know before possibly buying iLife 11, since the last time I had a Garageband update I could not open any songs made in previous versions (which frustrated me quite badly).

Hi here,
I use MacBook Pro OS X version 10.6.7 mid 2009. I upgraded my computer to iLife '11, and I don't have any problems opening projects which were created in GB '09. The problems begun when I save and close GB, and then reopen it again. Depending on the project up to two (2) audio files go missing. My advice to you is, that you absolutely need backup for your files, you need to set up your time machine, so if something happens to your project you'll be able to restore it. I can't tell for sure if you'll have the same issue as I do. In my case it all depends how I choose to save the project created in older version of GB after I open it in GB '11. I refer you to my entry regarding lost aif files. It's quite extensive, but I hope that you'll find something useful there. One thing is for certain, GB '11 offers great new features, new effects, new amps, and you'll enjoy it.
Cheers!

Can you open an FCP file in older versions?

I have a G4 with FCP 4 HD. And I also have, or now "had" a G5 with FCP 5 something on it. The G5 logic board i think just died on me because it currently does not boot up.
Am I able to open an FCP file in an older version?

The G4 is currently running OS 10.3.9.
I have an OS 10.4 installation disc but the G4 does not load it, it stops shortly after the installation process begins and I don't know why it won't install.
I do not have the FCP 5 discs. And do not believe it would even work on OS10.3, or would it?

How can you open a project file backup if the main project won't load?

This has only started happening in the last couple of weeks. I'm on Logic 10.0.7, OSX 10.8.5. On one particular project, it will be loading seemingly normally, then it just disappears with no crash log, nothing.
Presumably there is some sort of corruption in the project file.
In the old pre package days, you would just go to the project file backups folder and pick a previous one. Bingo, you have only lost a little bit of work.
Now when I show package contents, the project file backups folder has project data files that won't open logic, and are invisible until you have logic open. Which I can't do.
Rue the day I selected the package option rather than folder.
Any suggestions?
Or to put the question another way, how can I convert the project data in the project file backups folder to a file that Logic can recognise and open?

Having his install the trial is the way to go. Working between AI versions is a pain and as you are finding out almost impossible with 5 versions between the collaborators.

How can you open a PDF file in Preview or save it as Preview?

.

Drag and drop it onto Preview's icon, or select the file, *Get Info* on it, and in the *Open With...* menu in the Get Info window, select Preview.
A PDF file that won't open in Preview is an Acrobat-only file, and there's nothing you can do about that.

Can you open/edit indesign files on CS3 that were created using CS5?

I recently bought indesign CS5 and am using this for my internship; however, my boss is still using CS3 and said she could not open or edit the indesign file i sent her. I looked under "export" to see if there was an option and did not find anything. I am using a mac and I believe she is using a P.C., also, when I last sent her the file, I was still using my free trial - does any of this make a difference? Please help!

This has been covered endless times but anyway, I'll do it again!
You have to export an idml file from CS5, then open that idml in CS4, export an inx file from there then open that in CS3 and save as an indd. Sorry but there is no way round it, fullstop, end of story etc etc. So if she is using CS3 and you're using CS5 there is no route between them unless you have CS4, and even then the route is littered with pitfalls! Look here for a rather long discussion / sometimes rant on the subject.
Ultimately she'd have to upgrade, or you could see if you could buy a CS3 or 4 version but it is very hard to get a legitimate copy, the only way is buy it off someone you know and most people aren't selling because they're upgrading.
Best news last, there is a short term fix, go to this guys blog and you can download a trial version of CS4 which will last for a month.

Can you open a corrupt file? Help!

I was working on a job application and when I went to re-open it (using text edit, doc.), it wouldn't re-open. It said the file may have been corrupted, truncated, or saved in a different format. What do I do????
Then I discovered Time Machine on my computer, which, since I didnt know about it before, hadn't been turned on yet (and no I have tried to and it's saying it can't detect an AirPort nearby ... I don't know why, I'm using it now for the Internet).
Fml.

If a file is corrupted it's basically gone for good. So, make sure you're using the same program to open the file the second time as the first. If that doesn't do it, then hopefully it's just a one off fluke, because the other possibility is that this is an early warning indicator of a failing HDD. If you start having this issue with several more files, take your system in to be looked at.
And Time Machine is likely looking for some kind of external drive connected via a wireless connection, since it doesn't back up to your main drive for good reason. Unless you have an external HDD or a NAS like Apple's Time Capsule, there's no point to having Time Machine on.

Can you open InDesign CS files into CS5?

Hi all,
My former company wishes to upgrade their ooooooooooold software to the latest version:) They currently have InDesign CS and want to make the leap to CS5. The question is...will it be possible to open their current CS files into CS5 once they make the switch? This is really important of course.
Thank you very much in advance for your help:)

Did you try https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?ref=sup&product=indesign?
Anyhow, if it fails, it should be the latter, or something else busted; Creative Suite Trial Versions says:
CS5.5 trials
Creative Suite 5.5 product trials will be available for download soon. Be notified when they are available.

Can you open Premiere CC file in Premiere 6?

I created a file on my laptop in Premiere CC. I am trying to open it on my desktop with Premiere 6.
I am getting an error message that says "The project appears to be damaged, it cannot be opened" ...even though it opens fine on my laptop in CC.
This is a big problem for me....any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Microsoft does provide official 'Save As' option for backward compatibility, including MS Access. Adobe also does provide official 'Save As' option for backward compatibility for several applications, including e.g. After Effects. Backward compatibility, even though a limited one, is not a nonsence at all. However, it does not exist in Premiere Pro. In spite of the fact that users are aware of the down and dirty trick of replacement version value in the fourth line of the XML document...

we are implementing BusinessObjects 4.0 and in the process of documenting road map for promotion. BusinessObjects does not have Import Wizard so we will be using LCM for all our promotions.
Since we are not able to determined whats inside the biar files by looking at the binary files, is there any way using LCM we can figure out whats laying inside the Biar file? before doing the promotion.
I am assuming if its not possible than we are basically trusting the developer, and need to keep good documentation of this process?

Can't open fcp project file - fcp not responding

starts to open project but gets to 23% and freezes fcp...project is being stored on a lacie 250gig protable hd with firewire. never had this issue after tons of work. tried going to a autosave version but tried several and they freeze up fcp
any ideas short of moving all the media to another drive and starting a new project (I was just about to start cutting this project today).

Welcome to the forum!
Post the version of FCP you're running.
Try opening a new project file, then importing the captured clips into it... might fix this... If you trash your preferences for FCP found in the user/library/preferences/FCP User data folder, you can just click on the application and it won't try to open the last project file.
Can you open earlier project files OK?

Logic Pro 9.0.0 can't open GarageBand 6.0.4 files

As the title reads "Logic Pro 9.0.0 can't open GarageBand 6.0.4 files" - any ideas? Logic just says files were created by a newer Logic pro version, they were created with GrarageBand not logic so I don't know.

If you upgraded Logic to the latest version (9.1.4) you might be able to open them, in fact I think you can. Garageband is a subset of Logic, so the message you're seeing in Logic is correct.

Can I open garageband files in logic?

I am going to be upgrading to Logic Express from garageband in a week or so, and I have some more questions:
Okay, my first question is; Can I open garageband 08 files in logic, and if I do will they be mixed the same? And my second one is a bit more complex;
On garageband there is an option to place software drums into little bricks and make them into beats. Can I record real drums and map the individual hits onto a grid with Logic?
Thanks---

Yes.

Yes, though in a different way than in Garageband.

Can you open freehand files in CS6?

can you open freehand files in CS6? I have been using both illustrator & freehand for 15 years & have thousands of work files being freehand.
It seems very disappointing to have to keep an old version of illustrator just to open these files. I also find it interesting that many of the key tools that freehand had over illustrator are not translated into the newer versions of illustrator. Something simple like you still can't have a unique picture bullet • before text in illustrator. In freehand you could cut & paste any graphic into the text you were designing.

No. The conversion plugin didn't make it into CS6 so the last import function was CS5.5

At this point, it is the only way to make your files convert into Illustrator although I've had some luck with exporting to EPS or (if your FH graphics are simple enough) save as AI format. Keep your eyes on this project however : http://www.stagestack.com/

As a fellow FreeHand user, I couldn't agree more. Other users of both programs have said this endlessly over the years here. A litany of features are still m.i.a. since FHMX was acquired years ago... including inline graphics. It's almost comical.
