I cannot open ID CS3 today on an iMac.

I have been working daily on an iMac running OS 10.5.7 creating an ID document. I exported a pdf of the doc yesterday and sent to the printer but some problems with it, so tried to open ID today and could not. Nothing else has changed except that there was an Adobe Reader update that came up earlier and I let that run.
The problem is this: ID opens to the point of showing a menu at the top of the screen, then the spinning ball for however long I want to let it run — 20-30 minutes. I have for force quit and the window for force quit shows that ID is unresponsive.
I have tried this to fix it.
1. Repaired permissions.
2. Run Techtool Pro.
3. Restarted several times.
4. Logged in as another user.
5. Trashed the prefs file.
None of this has made the slightest difference.
Any suggestions appreciated.

Does this help with Firefox?

I cannot open my word doc on my iMac. I got this error message, The applicThe aplation Microsoft Word can't be opened.?

I cannot open my word doc on my imac. I got this error message, "The application microsoft word cannot b opened" #1712. Can you help?

Word can't open or does it open but you can't open documentts?
If you have Office does Excell or Power Point open? If they do you can perhaps check for updates with either of them: Help > Check for Updates. You can also try to reinstall Office with your installation disks. Don't delete Office, just try to install it again.

Cannot open a CS3 file

Hi,
I'm having an unusual problem. I've sent InD CS3 packaged files to various printers, who then have a problem opening in InDesign file. The error message received is:
"Cannot open the file "xxx". 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 strange thing is that my boss, who has the same operating system (OS 10.5), can open the files just fine.
In some cases, the printers have removed the file extension (.indd) and have been able to open the file. But in other cases that fix doesn't seem to be working.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks,
Melissa

Sounds like they're trying to open the file directly from a CD or other
write protected disk. If that's the case, tell them to copy the file to
the harddrive.

PDF created in Excel cannot open is CS3- shows error

I saved a 4 page PDF document in Excel 2007 and tried to open it CS3. It keeps coming up with an error. 0x 4 000 000 c.
I was able to do a workaround by opening it up in Illustrator - then saving each page as single PDF's and then opening them in CS3 but that's a lot of extra work. HOW CAN I GO STRAIGHT FROM EXCEL PDF's TO CS3 w/out the error?

How is it you're making a PDF with Excel? I don't have Office 2007, but I thought you needed a separate component (e.g., Adobe Acrobat) to make a PDF.
I ask because I should think that separate component that makes the actual PDF (and the settings there) would be where you would look for the answers to this.

Cannot install dreamweaver cs3 design premium on iMac

I purchased a new iMac and used the migration assistant to migrate everything from another iMac and now I cannot open dreamweaver anymore. I just get a blank error box.
Both iMacs are intel based and are running 10.2.7 (latest OS) and I never had any issues with dreamweaver on the other computer.
Since I can't afford the $1000 to upgrade my CS3 Design Premium, I need to get this working. I can open all other CS3 apps with no problems, Photoshop, InDesign, Flash.. but Dreamweaver has the error box popup.
I tried calling but Adobe doesn't provide support for their products after a new product version is released, according to Rajish the customer service rep.
I tried installing from the disk too, but that didn't work either, it gives me an error that says "Required resources are missing" and then I have to click the Quit button.
So I'm stuck, I can't use Dreamweaver unless I can somehow re-install it, or figure out what didn't migrate properly. Any ideas?
*stressed out... and chocolate is not helping....

Cyberious are you using 10.7.2 or 10.2.7? Most likely it is an issue with using the Migration Assistant. For complicated programs like Adobe products it is best to do a fresh install instead of migrating the product over. Users who use the Migration Assistant often face issues such as yours.
You have a couple different options:
The first and easiest would be to format and reinstall the OS on your new Mac. Then run the Migration Assistant again this time only bringing over your documents and settings. You will then want to reinstall the software from your installation media.
Second you can try running the uninstaller located in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers. After this is done you will want to run the CS5 Cleaner tool. For details regarding how to use and obtain the cleaner tool I would recommend reviewing CS5 Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html. You can then again install from the installation media.
I honestly would recommend going with option 1. In the over decade and half I have been doing support some of the worst issues have come from the use of Migration Assistants/EZ Setup solutions. I have seen people literarily spend hours trying to resolve their difficulties.

Cannot open Indesign CS3 file in CC

I have not had this problem before, I've tried other files in case the one I need is corrupt, I always get the same error messages
My ID id up to date. Thanks is advance.
Regards
Thorvar

Your sample file opens here just fine (other than missing links and missing fonts) on CS3, CS6 and CC, which implies either a bad link which ID is trying to resolve on your end, or a problem in the program.
Make sure you have the ID 9.1 patch installed, and try trashing your preferences. See Replace Your Preferences

Iphone image - png cannot open in CS3

I have a few images and they are from an iphone and in the .png format. I tried to open them in my registered cs3 photoshop but an error comes up (which is ridiculous by the way)
Anyone with a solution?

Did you use the camera app to take the photos or an third-party app. I just ran into the same issue this weekend. When I was using Facebook, I took some photos within the app and they showed up as .png. When I used Apple's camera app, they were .jpgs. Curiouser and Curiouser.

Cannot Open Photoshop CS3

I recently got a new computer. We uninstalled CS3 on the old one, installed it on the new one. All systems were a go until earlier this week. I can no longer open Photoshop. It gives me 'Photoshop has stopped working' error message as it gets to the 'Building Twain Menus' portion as it opens. We have un-installed PSD, installed it again, nothing. We just un-installed the entire Creative Suite and still nothing. We've tried the graphics suggestion as we are running on Windows 7 and I actually got an error message after going through the driver update. Am I missing something? Is there anything else I should be/could be doing to get PSD to run again? I have used these forums before and I would like to ask that whom ever responds, gives me step-by-step instruction if possible. I'm tech savy, but need to have step-by-step instructions. I appreciate any information. My business depends on me using Photoshop.

I have looked in my programs/features folder in the Control Panel and I do not see a TWAIN listed there. Should I be looking somewhere else? I did a search using *.TWAIN and nothing has come up. Perplexed...The printer we have is not connected to my computer, my husband can't figure out how to get it to work on my laptop wireless yet.

Cannot open LR4 Catalogue in a new iMAC

I have just bought a new iMAC. That was yesterday.
I already had LR4 purchased and used it regularly on my older iMAC. The LR4 Catalogue and Images were all installed in an external USB disk
So today, after installing LR4 and a trial version of PS6 (I own PS5) on my new iMAC, I connected the external USB disk, which had my LR4 Catalogue and images, and tried to OPEN the LR4 Catalogue in question. To my surprise, I got a dialogue box which read:
"Lightroom cannot launch with this catalog. It is either on a network volume or on a volume on which Lightroom cannot save changes.
The catalog's location is /Volumes/Toshiba_1TB/LACIE_2/LACIE_2/LACIE_2-2-2.lrcat."
I got so frustrated, that I IMPORTED the catalogue instead. After some while (25000 images), LR4 imported the images, with keywords, etc. Of course LR did so in a location on the iMAC HD, which is something I do not particularly like.
Anyway, I went to the smart collections, just to check that everything worked out all right, and opened one of them.
But when I tried to edit one of the images, I got this dialogue box:
"Lightroom was unable to prepare the selected file at /Volumes/Toshiba_1TB/LACIE_2/Art Projects/CHICA de Anne Marie/Chika de Anne Marie_ii.jpg for editing.
It will not be opened."
Could sombody tell me, please, if there's a way to open my original catalogue in the UDB external drive'
If that was not possible, why to I get the second dialogue box when I try to edit the image in the smart collection, telling me that the image would not open?
Thank you for your help.

I'm not a Mac person, but it seems highly likely that you are having permissions problems. Your current user on the new Mac doesn't have permission to write to the external drive from the previous machine.
Fixing up your permissions ought to make things work for you.

Cannot open winmail

I recently used In-House Agent to correct an email problem - while he attempted to fix the problem something happened to my WinMail and I cannot open it. Today, they tell me I have to contact the original manufacturer to reinstall it. I tend to believe it can be fixed. Any suggestions?

Hello HH,
The In Home Agent program can assist you with the email account settings but not repair the Windows Mail program. If the program itself will not even start/open that would require the program manufacture assistance or reinstallation. The program would need to open to adjust any individual account settings.

Workaround for later versions to open InDesign CS3 Doc?

My printer cannot open my CS3 InDesign document with their current version. Anyone know a reason why or workaround...?
Thanks,
Josef

Most likely, your printer has an older version of InDesign than you do, in other words, InDesign 4 (CS2) or earlier which is quite out-of-date.
The workaround is to send a press-ready PDF file to your printer.
Sending printers InDesign documents (and all the associated digital assets) is not the best workflow!

Encore CS3 cannot open CS2 project: folder cannot be found

I created a project in Encore CS2 under Win XP, and when I try to open it in CS3 under Vista, I get an error of
Cannot open project; The folder for this project cannot be found.
Disregarding the fact that I haven't changed, moved or deleted any subfolders or files and the drive has the same letter and label as before, why the heck doesn't Encore at least give me the opportunity to direct it to the correct folder? I can do this easily in almost all other applications, like InDesign or Dreamweaver. Shouldn't this error have come up in the first few days of beta testing? (Uh, it
was beta tested.....right?)
I tried looking in the ProjectPrefs and ProjectWorkspace xml files, but they don't have any folder info. Searches in the knowledge base, forums and newsgroups have turned up nothing. It seems my only choice here is to recreate the fracking project from scratch!

>(Uh, it was beta tested.....right?)
No. It wasn't. The Encore team is so good at coding and spell-checking that the Product Manager and the Director of the Production Studio project both felt that beta testing was not necessary this time around.
It's really pretty impressive that so few bugs have turned up in real-world use considering that both internal and external beta testing was shelved for this release. The additional resources that would have been used to test the app were sent to the Photoshop team to ensure that the CS3 release of PS was flawless.

I upgraded itunes today and now some of my music from cd's is in grey and I cannot open it on. I changed sync to AAC and went in and selected genres, artists, albums that I wanted to download. I want to listen to my music. Can anyone help me?? Please! .

I downloaded latest version of iTunes to my computer today and now some of my music - a lot - is showing up in grey after syncing to my iPhone 5 and I cannot open it. All music is from cd's purchased and before download was accessible. I went to SYNC and changed to AAC and reselected genres, artists, albums and synced again without success. Can anyone help? Please. I am so frustrated and have wasted all day on this. I want my music back!!!

When you upgraded, itunes should have put a copy of the itunes library database in a folder named *Previous iTunes Libraries* . If you upgraded itunes today it will show as
iTunes Library 2010-02-28.itl
Use these directions to get it back

Since I am not sure of your setup, look for the "Previous" folder on both your C: and F: drives.

Cannot open image files in PS CS3 from Bridge CS3

Cannot open file in Photoshop CS3 (10.0.1) from Bridge CS3 (2.1.1.9)
Tried choosing File>Open and double clicking the image thumbnail
Error dialogue box pops up and reads:
Windows cannot find\C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop CS\Photoshop.exe
I wouldnt expect CS\Photoshop.exe to be found because CS3\Photoshop.exe upgrade is installed.
Will downloading the Adobe Photoshop update for Adobe Photshop CS3 (11/15/2007) or Adobe Bridge CS3 update for Adobe Bridge CS3 (11/15/2007) be my best bet for correcting this problem?

Thanks to Freeagent for pointing me to the solution.
For fellow Windows XP user's:
Control Panel > Folder Options > File Types
It would have been nice if the Install Wizard of PS would have handled this automatically or had an advisory instruction to manually associate image files in Windows XP.
I thought all along this was a Photoshop CS3 / Bridge CS3 problem since Bridge was calling for both the image file and Photoshop.
If Freeagent has anyone's ear at Adobe please pass this on.
Thanks Again
