Can I open CS3 files in Cs6 For InDesign Also is CS6 Compatible in OS X 10.10

Yes and yes.

Opening CS3 files from CS6 InDesign

We are looking to upgrade the office from CS3 to CS6 Creative Suite. Can InDesign files from CS3 be opened in straight into CS6? If not, what is the best way to access the CS3 files from CS6?

Can they be opened directly? Yes.
Should they be? Harder to answer.
I've never had a problem with any file I created moving from an old to anew version, but we've seen reports here from other users who found converting CS3 or CS4 files to CS5 or CS5.5 seemed to be OK right up until they failed, often after extensive editing and while trying to export PDF. In general, exporting these same files from the earlier version as .inx or .idml, and opening that in the new version did not fail.
CS6 is too new to have had many similar reports, and I want to stress that these problems are probably isolated and indicate, I suspect, some underlying corruption in the original file (which might have caused failure in the original version at some point, too), but I've persaonally adopted a policy of export from the original for any file that is going to get converted. It isn't worth the risk compared to the short amount of time involved in taking precautions.

Can you upgrade a CS3 file to CS6

My client needs an indesign CS6 file and I have created the document in Indesign CS3 as I did not have the time to upgrade my mac as well as my operating system and subscribe to Adobe CC - so I would love some advice please.
I have been able to open the CS3 file in CS6 but there are lines of text outside of the text box hi-lighted in pink which cannot be reformatted. Also the pink hi-light never goes.
I hopefully will get paid for this job and will definitely use the money wisely - I have just survived a week from hell where I doubt very much I'll keep this client.
Thanks for reading this.

Ask in the ID forum and provide more info - screenshots, system info, what object types you use on the page etc. Those pink lines could be legacy guides or clipping masks or something like that...

I can not open raw files in cs6 extended ,my camera is Nikon D 800E.

I can not open raw files in cs6 extended ,my camera is Nikon D 800E.
Hope some one can help me.

The D800E is definitely supported in Camera Raw 7.1 which is compatible with CS6.
Which version of Camera Raw are you running?
Win: Help > About Plug-In > Camera Raw
Mac: Photoshop > About Plug-In > Camera Raw
If you're already on 7.1, what exactly happens when you try to open Raw files from that camera?

Can you open freehand files in CS6?

can you open freehand files in CS6? I have been using both illustrator & freehand for 15 years & have thousands of work files being freehand.
It seems very disappointing to have to keep an old version of illustrator just to open these files. I also find it interesting that many of the key tools that freehand had over illustrator are not translated into the newer versions of illustrator. Something simple like you still can't have a unique picture bullet • before text in illustrator. In freehand you could cut & paste any graphic into the text you were designing.

No. The conversion plugin didn't make it into CS6 so the last import function was CS5.5

At this point, it is the only way to make your files convert into Illustrator although I've had some luck with exporting to EPS or (if your FH graphics are simple enough) save as AI format. Keep your eyes on this project however : http://www.stagestack.com/

As a fellow FreeHand user, I couldn't agree more. Other users of both programs have said this endlessly over the years here. A litany of features are still m.i.a. since FHMX was acquired years ago... including inline graphics. It's almost comical.

Unable to open RAW file in CS6 via LR 4.1

Not able to open in CS6 from LR 4.1 the RAW (CR2) files created by the new Canon 5D MKIII - the CS6 program opens but the actual RAW file itself does not open in ACR or Photoshop so unable to edit directly from Lightroom.
(For the record I can open these same CR2 RAW files directly in ACR 7 or CS6)

Are you sure you can open the 5D.3 CR2 files with CS6/ACR7?
When I open your file in CS6/ACR7 I get a message that it cannot be opened and a link to an Adobe knowledge-base article that tells what versions of ACR support what cameras—which of course doesn’t apply to beta versions, which ACR7 is, but is generally appropriate to the situation.
The blog post Dorin linked to suggests the 5D.3 is not yet supported by ACR7. I suspect Photoshop CS6 camera-support is lagging behind CS5 because the RAW team had LR4 to get out the door before CS6 was released as beta.
The 5D.3 CR2 files ARE supported by ACR6.7 RC in CS5 if perhaps that is what you’ve been successful with. The 5D3 CR2 files are also convertible to DNG by the DNGC 6.7 RC and then could be opened in ACR7.

Photoshop CS4 extended 64bit crash opening CS3 files

Everytime i open a CS3 psd file in Photoshop CS4 extended 64bit the application crash after few minutes or seconds... this is very very very frustrating...

In PHOTOSHOP CS4 extended 64bit i think the problem is opening CS3 files containing text layer ...

- a file with a simply text layer > CRASH
- a file with a simply text layer and masked image > CRASH
- a file with masked image > apparently OK
all file are 640x480 72dpi RGB

Cs4 opens cs3 files with errors

Here's a big heads up for anyone considering upgrading to cs4 - don't! I've been working on a cs3 project and decided to upgrade to cs4 for the extras in the 3D toolset. All the Adobe propoganda implies this can be achieved no problem, as did soemone on telephone tech support. Perhaps I didn't clearly ask 'can I open my cs3 file in cs4'. I can BUT the clips are very much 'out of synch. I'll lick my wounds and go back to finishing in cs3 but don't purchase cs4 if you think you can seamless import your sc3 project. Because it seems you very much can not!

Dennis,
Many thanks.

Subject: Premiere Pro cs4 opens cs3 files with errors
Jarrod,
As I've stated here in this forum, we're trying to transition Adobe technical support to a new organization and providing the best support we can to our customers. That being said, it is a long and sometimes painful process, which is why I am here on the forums at times to lend some support. This doesn't help you and you might not even care so...
Here's a couple of suggestions:
1. make sure your software is updated (Premiere Pro 4.2.1) by going to help>updates
2. clear your prefs - http://blogs.adobe.com/genesisproject/2009/11/having_weird_behavior_with_an.html
3. try importing (ctrl-I) a CS3 project into CS4
Try these things and let me know how you make out. Also, it would be very helpful if you told us about your system and the specs. I've posted about the importance of 64-bit and lots of memory many times. You can find one link here: http://blogs.adobe.com/genesisproject/2009/03/64_bit_os_and_adobe_products.html
The future of Premiere Pro is 64-bit only: http://blogs.adobe.com/genesisproject/2009/10/its_official_64bit_is_the_futu.html
Beyond that if you'd like me to look into your case, please post your case # here or in a private message to me and I'll gladly look at it.
I sense your frustration and its understandable - give us a chance to help you.

Cannot Open 'CS3 file in CS2' - programmatically handle this dialog

I am running a Visual Basic app that cycles through a collection of InDesign documents performing actions. We are using CS2 and the problem occurs when a CS3 document is encountered, which hangs the app. When opening the file manually the following error dialog is encountered:
Cannot open "xxxx.indd". Please upgrade your plug-ins to their latest versions, or upgrade to the lastest version of Adobe InDesign.
InDesign is launched by:
appInDesign = CreateObject("InDesign.Scripting.CS2")
User interaction is suppressed:
appInDesign.ScriptPreferences.UserInteractionLevel = InDesign.idUserInteractionLevels.idNeverInteract
Documents are opened by:
docInDesign = appInDesign.Open(<FilePath>, False)
How do you handle/identify this dialog/error without user interaction (I would like to skip the file)?
Thanks in advance

If you opening CS3 file in CS2 you alway get error message.
I think best solution is check indesign document version before opening it.
I have code for checking indesign version but it is Javascript code.
But it will give you idea how you can check indesign version and skip that files.
Here below is code:
f = File.openDialog ('Select file', undefined, false);
alert('Indesign version: '+getFileVersion(f));
function getFileVersion(f){
var IDVersion;
f.open('r')
f.seek(29, 0)
IDversion = f.readch().charCodeAt(0);
f.close();
return (IDversion);

Unable to open d800 files with cs6 and camera raw 8.3

unable to open d800 files with cs6 and camera raw 8.3

Have you used Nikon Transfer on those files? Early versions are known to corrupt files so that ACR can't read them. Nikon has since fixed the bug so new versions are safe.
Here's a thread (with a fix) in the Lightroom forum: https://forums.adobe.com/message/6253962

How do I open NEF files in CS6?

I bought the Nikon D800E and CS6 says that it can't open the RAW files. Thanks for any help!

I tried to do that and as the download progresses it stops and I get a

Issues opening xml files in CS6

I'm having a problem opening xml files in CS6. Currently, I'm able to load Dreamweaver CS6, but when I open a file labeled as .xml, the application freezes up. I have already set up my preferences to read .xml files. (some background info: I do have a previous version of 5.5 installed on the same machine. I could guess that the problem could be associated with having an earlier version of dreamweaver installed at the same time, but why would it only affect xml files?)

Have you tried opening the .xml file in NotePad or some other simple text editor? just to verify that the file is good and not corrupted.

Can't open CS3 file

Often can't open CS3 files (I'm working in CS3). Then when the sender resaves in new file, problem is fixed. Huh? Am I missing a plug-in? How do I figure out which plug-in I'm missing? Is this even the problem?

It's not unusual to have this sort of error on a windows machine when trying to open files saved on a Mac and sent without compressing first. I often see two files show up in the attachments, both with the same name.
One is the resource fork, which is useless to windows users and generates that kind of error if you try to open it, and the other is the data fork, which is what you need. You can usually tell the difference by the size. The big one is the one you want.

Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?
