HELP!!!  Saved file in CS4 won't open!!!

I've been working on a file I created for 4 hours.  Saved properly many times, reopened and resaved with no problems.  Now it won't open.
Every other file I have opens fine, but this one just freezes up the program.   I tried recovering, deleting the recovery file, etc....
Job is in jeopardy... any recomendations?

It sounds like Peter has it hand, but some possibilities are Preflight and SING; you can try disabling them both. What OS?
What version of InDesign? 6.0.6?

    What exactly did it do?
    Crash while saving a file? That most probably ruins a file.
    You can try and create a new Illustrator file, then place the old one in it. If that doesn't work, You might need to search for a backup.
    Don't have a backup?
    Start using the (free) plugin Autosaviour, use Time Machine (or whatever your system offers as a backup software)

  • CS4 won't open any files.

    I can't get any Illustrator files to open. I don't get an error message—just the spinning ball. I end up having to "force quit." Yesterday I uninstalled the program and reinstalled it and it worked perfectly, but this morning when I tired to open some files, same problems—won't open anything.

    I agree with Wade. The culprit is very likely an influence outside of Illustrator. In addition to fonts, I'd definitely also check on a generic level whether the files get damaged in any way. Indexing and backup e.g. with Time Machine may have damaged the files or restored an unusable file from a backup or worse even, may do something weird to the application executable itself.

  • Saving file as cs4 from cs5 in Illustrator

    I'm super-frustrated. I just upgraded to CS5 and now no one can read my files when I send them to them. Worse, I can't figure out how to save it as a legacy version of Illustrator (preferably CS4). I've done it before under the saveas dialog, but I don't see it there. I read in another forum to look under the Illustrator Options dialog, but I can't find THAT anywhere either. I'm on a Mac.
    Please help!!!

    I'm having an issue with legacy formats as well, but it's slightly different.  Figured I would post it in here rather than starting a new thread for it.
    I have 5 files, each with multiple layers, that were created in Illustrator CS5.  The printer who I'm sending the files to is still working in Illustrator CS3, so I saved them to the CS3 legacy format, and sent him the files.  He replied and said that he wasn't able to open them.  So I tried to open them up in CS4 (which I still have installed on my machine alongside CS5), and I receive this error message on each of the files:
    Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be?  If I save the files in CS4 format and open them in CS4, I am able to open the files, but for some reason they lose their layers.  Both problems are very frustrating, as I don't want to have to save my files as CS4 format, re-open them in CS4, rebuild the layers, and then save them as CS3 out of CS4.

  • CS4 won't open now

    Can anyone help me understand why PPro CS4 won't open all of a sudden?
    I've tried rebooting, not sure what happened in the last 12 hours.
    I assume i'll have to reinstall the software, but does anyone know why this happens?

    Do you have SoundFlower installed?
    Do you have a lot of VST's installed?
    Those are two things that can affect the launch of a couple of Adobe programs. This ARTICLE (though written for the PC), might offer some things to ponder.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - there are some similar threads, where Mac users have had to do something with their log-in. They did not have to really modify things, IIRC, but just open up the control console for it. Wish I could give you more details, but I'm a PC-guy. There are maybe three threads recently.

  • My IDML file saved in Indesign CC won't open in Indesign 6

    Hello. I am on trial of Indesign CC, and exported a file to an IDML trying to open it on the school computer since they only have previous versions of Indesign.
    When I try to open my file that I worked on at home in Indesign CC, it won't open in Indesign 6.
    The pop up message I get is "Cannot open the file xxx.idml." 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."
    The file IS saved as IDML
    The file isn't open in another application
    I don't know how I can fix this issue. Could anybody help me out? I've tried both .indd and .idml saved under CC, but it refuses to open in prior versions.
    Thank you very much in advance.

    Hi, I too am having this issue. Did you get anywhere with resolving the problem?
    Many thanks in advance

  • Shared Content InDesign Plugin for InDesign CS4 won't open file

    Yesterday I discontinued using Adobe CC and went back to using my Adobe InDesign CS4.  CS4 is working OK but there is ONE file that won't open.  I get the message "Shared Content InDesign Plugin is currently not available on your system".  The file will not open. Is there a workaround or how do I get the required plugin?

    You get that error when the file was saved in CS5 or later. You can find out the version using the script at Adobe Forums: [Ann] Identify Your InDesign File.
    You'll need to export the file to .idml from the newer version to be able to open it in CS4. This is something I normally offer to do, but I'm not available for at least a week, so perhaps one of our other regulars can step up and volunteer.

  • Illustrator CS4 won't open any files since installing CS6

    Every since I installed CS6, whenever I try to open files in Illustrator (all files, not just the new downsaved from CS6 files), the program goes into "Not Responding" and I can't do anything until I crash out. It also will not let me create new files.
    I've tried deleting my Adobe Illustrator CS4 Settings folder as I saw suggested in another discussion, but it did not help.
    Since my CS6 trial is ending soon and I'm not sure about upgrading yet, I really need my CS4 to be functional.
    I'm running WIndows Vista 64 bit. Never had any problems with Illustrator before this.
    Any suggestions?

    Ok, so I uninstalled Illustrator CS4, ran the CS Cleaner Tool, which messed up all my other CS4 programs, reinstalled the whole CS4 Suite, and Illustrator CS4 STILL won't open files (or allow me to create new ones). I only have two days left on my CS6 trial and I'm not sure if I'm upgrading right away, so I really need to figure out a way to make my AI CS4 work soon!

    What sort of recent changes have you made on the system?
    What happens when you try to open files or create new ones? What OS? IS ID patched to 6.0.6?
