CS3 InDesign won't open a CS2 In Design .INX file

CS3 InDesign won't open a CS2 In Design .INX file.
I sent my graphic designer an .INX file created on CS2
and he got an error message and said he could not open.
He said it is not possible.
He lost the job - because he didn't want to investigate further.
I can't imagine ADOBE leaving this problem unsolved!
What do I do??

I don't recall that. I can visualise the situation, but then I would expect it to create the same lost feature problems as encountered in opening with an earlier version. So there would still be a risk that the file would lose something in translation.
And then again, if a CS2 plug-in has been used and is required to open the file, I would expect the translation into XML to ignore anything that can't be translated, and for the depleted file still to open in CS3.

CS3 InDesign won't install, Mac OS 10.5

I've just received CS3 Design premium, and InDesign won't install. There is no reason given, just that it won't install. Shared components and Version Cue Server won't install either. I just upgraded to Leopard on a g5 Intel system. Any ideas on what to do next?
Thanks,
jan

CS3 InDesign won't install, Mac OS 10.5
Hi Darlene,
I think I just got lucky - it hesitated a few times then finally clicked.
One of the previous posters suggested to not install Version Cue, so I
clicked that one off. Did you repair the permissions and restart before
installing? Spin around 3 times clicking your heels saying, there's no
program like InDesign?
If you can stay in InD 2 I would suggest that, expecially if you use a lot
of clipping paths. InD3 has a bug there that won't see interior paths, so
you have to go back into Photoshop to rework the image. If I had only know
that before.....
Good luck!

It should be much easier to re-link in the Pagemaker file, as, with any luck, you can get the filenames from the Graphics Manager. After conversion to InDesign, any out-of-date linked images get their names converted to something like "image 123.jpg", and are themselves converted to an embedded low res representation of the image. Even vectored art. Pretty hard to figure them out, unless you are VERY familiar with the file, which you may be.
It may be that any cropping gets lost, too? I do prepress work, we do some set up for our customers, but most comes in pretty much ready to go, so I don't often have to did too deep into fixing such issues. On the other hand, any problem that can happen has probably crossed my desk, or it seems that way some days!

Interchange CS3 documents won't open in CS (3.0.1)

I have InDesign CS (PC platform) upgraded to 3.0.1, so it's supposed to be capable of reading Interchange documents. My associate has CS3 (MAC platform). He obtained a plugin to make Interchange files backwards compatible. He created several documents for me, saved them as .inx files and sent them to me, but I keep getting an error message that says they're not InDesign Interchange files.
He can open them on his own machine. I can't open them in my older version. And according to the Adobe website, only CS2 is backwards compatible with CS. Any suggestions short of spending more money on something that should work without upgrading?
Thanks.
Sandra

Yeah, it's my understanding that the Interchange files are only backwards-compatible by one version number.
However, I saw this trick listed for saving from CS4 to CS2. Perhaps it would work from CS3 to CS (no ideas, but you could try it):

DESPERATE... Indesign won't open most of my Indesign files???

Sorry if my message sounds panicked but I am going out of my mind with worry. I am working late on a deadline to get a job done, my inDesign has decided to give me the following message when I open any of the many 100 inDesign files I have made: 'Cannot open the file "nameof file.indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application.
Please can anyone tell me what is going on. I am sitting at my desk in tears. If I don't make my morning deadline i'm fcked!!!! to be quite blunt :-(
Does anyone know how to fix this? Everything was working up until about an hour ago and a old inDesign files work but not the ones that I need.
Help me, i'm seriously in despair here :-( :-( :-(

Sounds very much like these files were edited with a newer version of ID
than you're using.
What version are you using? If it's earlier than CS3, you can email me
one of the files that won't open and I'll try it here. If I can open it,
I'll let you know what the history of the file is.
Click my name, go to my website and you'll find contact info there.

Reinstalled CS3 on Mac 10.6.8 after major crash. ID doc created in CS3 v5 won't open

Reinstalled CS3 on Mac 10.6.8 after major crash. ID doc created in CS3 v5 won't open

Problem solved. It helps to use CS5 to open a CS5 document. When you use the right key, the door opens. Lesson: Don't store installation discs of inactive versions with installation discs of current versions.

Indesign won't open

I was using indesign yesterday for my school work and I think I ended up having to force quit it becuase it wasn't closing and today when I went to open it it won't open. It doesn't say why it just says indesign as quit unexpectedly. It won't even open in safe mode. Can anyone help me fix it??? I'm desperate as I have homework to finish on it!!

You probably have a damaged file inthe recovery folder that is crashing as soon as ID restarts. With ID cloes, find the recovery folder -- since you haven't said what version, I'll send you to the Replace Your Preferences link and tell you that it is normall y in the caches folder wher you'd find InDesign Saved Data, and those locations are listed there for you -- and move everything in it to the desktop (you can probably delete it all later, but make sure you don't need it, first). ID should now restart, and if the original file is not damaged it should open at the last saved state, so you may have lost some work, but at least not the whole file.

InDesign won't open. Application not responding.

I updated InDesign today. Now it won't open. Application not responding.

From what I have been reading from other posts on this forum, the
issue may be caused by the clear history settings. It was suppose
to have been fixed in v30.
'''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web link}
Type '''about:preferences''' in the address bar and press '''Enter.'''
Select '''Privacy'''.
The button next to '''History,''' select '''Use Custom Settings'''.
At the bottom of the page, turn on '''Clear History When Firefox Closes.'''
At the far right, press the '''Settings''' button. Turn on ONLY '''Cache''' and

InDesign won't open when network drive is not available.

Hi everyone,
I have a laptop (MacBook Pro OSX10.9.5), which shares a network drive in my office. The drive is with a different computer. When I take the laptop out of the office network (to a meeting or home), InDesign will not open, it gives me the following error (see attached image). I've tried replacing the Defaults and SavedData files, and also re-installing InDesign from scratch. I still get the same error. Any idea what is happening or how to fix it? Thank you in advance.
Rafa.

Hi!
I figured out what the issue was, finally. After playing around, I noticed that my InDesign Fonts folder, had "alias" links to some fonts that resided on that shared drive. As soon as I deleted all the ones that where aliases, the error went away. Hopefully this helps someone in the future.
Rafa.
