Having trouble opening files in CS4

I am having a color management nightmare and that has lead to my trouble opening files, so I'll explain that color management part first.
I use Xrite Eye One Display Two as a calibration system and have recently bought a new Hewlet Packard 25 inch LCD monitor. Anyway, I am not seeing the same color outside of photoshop CS4 ext. that I see in photoshop CS4 ext. When I post a picture to the web, the color changes. I did read a post about this a few threads down, but my problem goes one step further. I changed some settings in the Save for Web section of photoshop and now I can't even open files from Bridge or directly from inside photoshop. Can anyone help me get back to just having problems with color? lol
I am quite the novice when it comes to certain things in adobe photoshop CS4, so thanks for any help or advice you could give me.

Gotta love the way HP throws out that "72% Color Gamut" spec (e.g., on this page) without actually saying what color profile or standard it's the gamut of.
Color management is not something that can be easily explained in a paragraph. Since you're calibrating your monitor it is kind of important for you to understand what it's all about - and such understanding is possible with just a little effort and reading time. There are a lot of color management overviews online that can be turned up with a Google search.
No file showing up without any error message seems kind of weird. Are you using Windowed view or Tabbed view? I ask because I'm wondering if somehow the document is opening up off-screen. Do the entries in the Filter menu become active after such an open?
Does a document show up if you switch the Open Documents as Tabs setting in Edit - Preferences - Interface?
Have you installed any plug-ins that are supposed to provide access to any file types not available normally in Photoshop?

Having trouble opening files

Can somone help me having trouble opening files with my Ipad

I started having the exact same problem yesterday. It has happened to me a little less than 2 years ago on this same machine (which was very new at the time). I was hoping to come here and find an easier solution than I resorted to in the past. Before I had to completely reformat my computer to get it to work properly again.
For me, the first time this problem happened was when I was working on a job that is stored on our company server. The server went down while the file was open and I was kicked off and everything locked up. When I tried to get out of the file nothing happened and I had to force quit. When it got back up, I logged back onto the server and everything seemed fine until trying to open, save as or place a file. Then I see what you see, open a folder and rather than going inside the folder, I get the turn down arrow or I just see the same list of folders and cannot get into the final folder where the art resides that I wish to place (or attach in an email, etc.)
I don't know how it happened yesterday. It could have actually happened on Friday night. Our company runs 3 shifts and it may have happened on 2nd shift Friday night or on 3rd shift Sunday night / Monday morning. I discovered it yesterday afternoon.
If anyone has a better solution than reformatting, that would be GREAT! I have done the disk utility checking and fixing permissions and that didn't work the first time or today either. Thanks for any info!

Having trouble opening files & folders through file open .

We have three Macs, 1 new Mac Pro w/ 2 hard drives (OS 10.5) and 2 G4's (OS 10.4), we use the Mac Pro to store all the customers files and the other two Macs work off the Mac Pro through our company network. The one G4 has no problem but the other G4 has problems opening files/folder through file-open in programs. If you go to file open and open a folder instead of opening up it toggles down into a list so you can never get to the file you want to open or save a file in the correct folder. Please help!

I am having trouble opening files saved in CS 5.5 Indesign after spending time on the cloud. Help me please

The last year(2013-2014) of school used CS5.5( I won and is on home computer) at home along with the cloud. School was using CS 6.I learned to save all files at home and at school in CS 4 or better. Saved files in each format so I could work on each project at home or at school. In Oct. had to cancel cloud. Now when I try to open the last years files It tells me to ck membership or open in arobate(PDF). Have spent hours on the phone and all they can tell me is to contact the forums. Hours and hours of work I have no access to.
Anything new I wish to start is ok but anything I had worked on in InDesign for my portfolio is accessible
I am considering removing my CS5.5 and trying to re load it. Any one know if that will help and what could I be loosing if I do that?
I have spent hours on the phone with no help from Adobe.
I just want to know how I can open my files to I can re save them in the CS 5.5 format . All of my portfolio, resume and other InDesign things are not available.

I'm having the same issue. And Dreamweaver now crashes after just a few seconds.

I'm having trouble opening files back-saved to Illustrator 3

Can anyone help?
I work for a commercial printer and we regularly have to supply files to our suppliers so they can make dies for pattern cut items. The normal process for us is to create an imposed PDF straight out of our workflow and supply that, but sometimes, if the pattern is intricate for instance, our supplier will ask for an eps file back-saved to old Illustrator version 3. I think is because their CAD machinery and software is rather old.
Historically this has never caused any problems but I'm now finding that the V3 files won't re-open after their initial save, either on my own Mac or at our supplier. I get this error message
and then Illustrator just opens a blank document.
My colleague, using an Identical Mac and the same version of Illustrator (CC 2014) has no problems. We've gone through all the settings and preferences and can find no differences between mine and his.
Any thoughts?

Rich,
You may try to find out whether there is any difference in your settings, or look at the list below.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Having trouble opening files received on email

This is what comes up when I try to open a new file that I receive on e-mail Adobe Reader could not open "zip" etc file because it is either not a supported file or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an e-mail attachment and wasn't correctly decoded) This just started and I know that not all of my emails was sent damaged. Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem?
Thank you

I am having trouble opening files with a psa extension. These files come from space planning software and I was told that Photoshop elements would be able to open files with a pas extension. Does anyone have any advise?

Does anyone know why I am unable to open psa files with elements 13. I read on the internet that elements was the software that I needed. However, it does not work. The files are coming from space planning software.

In older versions of Elements PSA files were associated with Photoshop Album which has now been replaced by the Organizer. Elements has no 3d functionality for supporting space planning files but these files can normally be exported or saved by the originator as a bitmap or pdf file. Those could then be opened in PSE. I suggest you explore the possibilities of file conversion with your original source.

Trouble opening files in Elements

I can access my Elements program, but I am having trouble opening files...I've tried opening several files (JPG, PSD, etc) and nothing appears in the actual program. Any advice?

I am using Version 12. I've tried both ways: Opened the file first in Photo Viewer, then Open > Elements...and Opened Elements first, then File > Open > Browse File. I just updated the version to 12.1, but it's still not working. Should I install and reinstall the program?

Having Trouble Opening TIFF Files

I'm having trouble opening TIFF files into Camera Raw. I have checked all my settings in Adobe Bridge and everything seems to be saying that TIFF files should open in Camera Raw when I click on then int and then into photoshop when finished editing in camera raw.
I'm trying to open 32 bit HDR images saved as a TIFF file into Camera Raw, and there seems to be nothing I can do to get them there. I have tried everything I can think of. When I right click on it (cmd click I'm on a mac) the option to open in camera Raw isn't there. I have tried clicking and dragging the image into Photoshop to try and force it maybe to open into Camera Raw, and I have opened photoshop and tried opeing it up from mini Bridge. In mini bridge I have the option to open the image into Camera Raw when I click this nothing happens.
I'm not sure what else to try I'm on CS6 and Camera Raw 7.0 .

Alright I'll try that thanks!

It might be that you need to update camera raw to version 8.3 by going to Help>Updates from within photoshop or bridge.
(i don't remember exactly in which version of acr that was added, but probably after version 7.0)

Having trouble opening camera raw files. Already downloaded Camera Raw Update for Photoshop CS5. I have a pc.

Please Help? Having trouble opening camera raw files. Already downloaded Camera Raw update. I have a pc.

If the camera is fairly new then the version of ACR you have with CS5 won't be able to read those file. You'll need to upgrade to a newer version of Photoshop or use Lightroom 5.
Once a new version of Photoshop comes out Adobe does not support updating ACR from the older version of PS.

I'm having trouble opening pdf files for weeks now. Can someone help me?
It

Hi,
Do you have Adobe Reader installed on your device? You can check it under Settings-->Apps. If Adobe Reader is installed on your device and still the pdfs open in some other app, then you might have chosen that app to be the default app for always opening pdfs. You can clear the defaults for that application. Just go to Settings-->App--->Polaris(or any other app where the files open)--->Clear Defaults. Next time you try to open a pdf, you will be presented with the options again. Hope this helps. Please let us know if you still face some issues.
Thanks.

Having Trouble Opening .EPS File

I am trying to open a .eps file in Illustrator CS3. As it is trying to open the progress bar for Parsing EPS format appears. Once the bar reaches the end, an error message shows up saying operation cannot complete because of an unknown error. Can anyone please tell me why this is happening? Even tried opening it up in Photoshop and paring error message appeared. I am using a PC on windows Vista. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Scott,
I received the emailed file in zip. Tried opening it with illustrator and the same problem happened again. Any reason why it may still not be opening up? Do you recommend maybe reinstalling illustrator. This problem never happened before. Thanks

Where did the file come from?
Was it emailed to you?
Email servers often corrupt eps files. It's best to have the person zip the file before sending it.

I am having trouble opening .nef raw files from a nikon d800 in elements 9.

I am having trouble opening .nef raw files from a nikon d800 in elements 9.
I have tried to update ACR to the latest version but can not tell if this has been successful
I just get the message "wrong type of file"

For the D800 you have two alternatives:
(1) Upgrade to PSE 11. (2) Download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.3
Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.3
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:
