InDesign file not opening on Mac

One of my indesign file crashed on couple of occasion and now it is failing to open. I deleted InDesign prefs files but that doesn’t seem to work. Is there some way I can manage to open the file?
OS X 10.8.4

  • JPG files not opening on MAC

    Hi Guys,
    I went for a trip in the last month where I clicked a lot of pics. I initially transferred them to my windows laptop (JPG). After that, I transferred them to mac  and when I view the same files in mac the pictures apear to be in .jpg.xml format (How is that possible?). Anyway, i converted them to JPG and still applications (preview and iPhoto) give me error in mac. I initially tried to open it from external hd itself and then even tried copying it on the desktop. But nothing happens. I was of the view that we can open jpg in mac and if i am unable to do so its going to be a big pain for me.
    P.S I am new to Mac so I need your assistance with the same.
    Thanks. Usama

    After that, I transferred them to mac  and when I view the same files in mac the pictures apear to be in .jpg.xml format (How is that possible?).
    That is something you did in transferring the photos - it does not involve the Mac - exactly how did you transfer the photos form your PC?

  • Indesign file not open

    Hi,
    When i am opening the indesign file the below error showing and the file is not open.  Any one suggest.

    I'm afraid if the file is corrupt, there's little you can do beyond going to a back up. You might want to read this for future use in avoiding this type of thing: Why I Always Work in a Dropbox Folder and Why You Should, Too!BobLevine.us

  • I need to make a pdf document, made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

    I need to make a pdf document, already made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website as an e-brochure. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

    Hello waitingone,
    please try this (all terms are translated from my German programs to my best knowledge):
    1. Did the creator of the pdf file enable the import options?
    2. See import options: choose an other visibility option for your layer.
    3. Let you show the import options and click into one with a black background and try these out (often a gray is selected).
    4. See trimming: try the different modes there. Often works: "Media".
    5. Is the pdf file (eg from Word) correctly created?
    6. Is the PDF file protected? >>> no import possible.
    7. If that does not help, store the pdf file in Acrobat, repair possible errors, run the PDF Optimizer before placing in InDesign.
    Good luck!

  • .indd files not opening with recently installed Indesign CS3

    The .indd files don't have the Indesign icon next to them, instead they have the win32 icon. When I double click on one of the files an error message appears telling me that...
    "this file is not a valid win32 application"
    Even when I right-click on the file and choose to open with Indesign, it tells me the same thing. Also in this options menu, Indesign is not shown with the Indesign logo next to it, but rather the windows generic 'unknown file type' logo.
    If I open Indesign first however, and then choose file>open and choose the file. It opens fine.

    Exactly my situation yesterday, with the icon disappearing and INDD files not opening within InDesign from Explorer.
    I'm using an early XP Pro, which I guess qualifies it as 32 bit.
    The steps to rebuilding everything using the Folder Options in Windows Explorer are:
    Tools > Folder Options > File Types
    If INDD is not listed, click the New button to creat an entry, otherwise select it and click the Advanced button.
    You have an option to change the icon, so navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS3 and select the InDesign icon.
    Then under actions you need to create four actions that will relate to the context menu choices when you right click an INDD files, so click New and add actions for edit, open, preview and print.
    In the Application used to perform action box enter "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS3\InDesign.exe" "%1"
    Those quote marks are important. Just browsing to InDesign.exe will fill the box for you, but for some reason - for me at least - it creates the %1 indicating to open the file you selected, but it doesn't wrap it in quotes. And without those quotes (at least on my machine) InDesign will start but won't load the file.
    There is also a check box to use DDE. I don't know what's appropriate here, but I ticked the box and it works OK.

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 19.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

  • PDF File not opening in browser for sharepoint 2010

    Recently we have moved our web application from one server to another in Sharepoint 2010. Back up of entire web application was taken and restored in another server. But in the new server , the PDF files in the document library is not getting opened in browser.
    it always open in browser
    I have already made following changes but didn,t work
    Set browser file handling to Permissive from central admin
    Set "open in browser" in setting s of doc library
    Set the doc library file handling property using $docLib = $web.lists["Your Document Library Title"] $docLib.BrowserFileHandling = "Permissive" $docLib.Update()
    Added "AllowedInlineDownloadedMimeType.Add("Application/Pdf") in web app
    Installed Adober eader in client machine
    Even after trying all these, the PDF files are still opening in Client application(Adobe reader) but not in the browser
    It would have been great help if anybody provide a solution for this. I have been banging head on this for two days

    It would be handy if you didn't double post too.

    To answer your question, you've tried most things that I normally see working, but there may be an extra solution here for you.  The solution 2 Powershell that deals with updating the Inline MimeType may help.

  • Pdf file not opening on pushing fdf file with F key in Adobe  Reader

    Well i am a novice developer in case of PDF Development.
    The problem which i am facing is:-
    In our application a PDF document submits the data to server and server sends back FDF to client with f key as http path of PDF which is present on web server.
    This all works well in acrobat professional 7.0 but in abobe reader 8.0 the PDF file doesn't open up on pushing FDF.
    On debugging the problem i found out that if server sends response within 480 milliseconds then reader is showing the pdf otherwise it don't shows up.Since in our application it will always take more than this time because of several operation performed to serve the request posted to server,So the
    PDF will never show up in case of reader.
    I was unable to understand what make it special in acrobat professional that session lasts more than 480 milliseconds whereas in reader the session doesn't last that long.
    I really need uregent help on this.
    Thanks in advance for help.

  • Foxfire froze. Force quit. Could not reopen. Installed 8.0.1. Will not open on MAC 10.4.11 OSX

    Foxfire froze when I tried to open email info. Had to force quit Foxfire. Could not reopen. Installed 8.0.1 Foxfire. This will not open on MAC 10.4.11

    You '''can not use version 8.0.x on your 10.4.11 mac with ppc'''
    http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/8.0/system-requirements/
    Firefox 4 versions and later do not run on a PowerPC Mac and require at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.
    '''latest supported version for your os is 3.6.24''' you can download from here:
    http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4+ versions '''if you like''' try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11(like yours) & 10.5.8

  • Quick Time file not opening

    Suddenly QuickTime 7.5.5 stopped opening the movies stored in one Hard Disc.
    Here are descriptions of how problem occurs:
    1) The preview in finder +column view+ shows only blank space, but not a movie.
    2) Instead of opening the file QT claims that "This is not a movie file"
    3) Not all the movies in the disk are injured but about 80 % of them. There might be in same folder movies that behaves normally and movies that behaves as described above.
    I have restarted the machine few times and repaired the disk with disk utility, with not any couraging results...
    If there were any ideas what the problem might be, and how to fix it, advices would be very much appreciated.
    Screenshots of the problem:
    http://koti.welho.com/tsuonio1/File-not-open.jpg

    Two possibilities spring to mind. One is that the HD itself has been damaged somehow. Try copying one of the "bad" video files to your boot drive and opening from there. If it won't copy, your HD is clearly bad, if it copies and plays then something weirder is going on with the drive.
    The other possibility has to do with the h264 codec you used. Apple's implementation of the H264 standard is a work in progress, they've been gradually adding features that are part of the full standard and may have broken something. If you recently upgraded QT that may be the problem. If you created the files using a third party H264 codec that might explain the playback problems. Also, you should install Perian (www.perian.org) and see if that helps, their codec plays back many formats that Apple doesn't support out of the box.
    You may need to upload one of the bad files to an filesharing website of some kind so that other folks here can download and look at it themselves.

  • Performed update to 3.6.6, and now it will not open on Mac OS 10.6.4

    I performed the update to 3.6.6, and now Firefox will not open on Mac OS 10.6.4. I hope I haven't lost all my bookmarks, etc.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == after the update to 3.6.6

    Using your link, I downloaded the new version. When I dragged the Firefox icon into the applications folder, it asked if I wanted the new version to replace the existing one, and I said yes. I was then told that it couldn't be done because I had insufficient privileges for some items. Is the reason for this that I didn't trash the old version BEFORE dragging the new one into the applications folder (under the assumption that "replace" meant that the old version was trashed as the new one was installed)? If not, it appears that I am back to the same problem I've had before.
    Since I'll be replacing this computer soon, it seems too troublesome to bother with this update. I'd just like the update reminders to go away!
