Can I open Windows CS3 files in MacIntosh CS6?

I have Windows Adobe CS3.
I also have Windows XP and must upgrade to Windows 8.1.  Someone said I must upgrade my Creative Suite because Windows 8.1 uses different drivers.  I also must buy a new computer, printer and scanner.  Is this true?
If I buy a MacIntosh computer and Creative Suite instead, can I still open my Windows CS3 files?
Thanks.

The latest CS6 and CC will both open previous versions of CS 3 files. Platform of origin is irrelevant.

  • How can I open a cc2014 file in my cs6 version of Indesign ?

    How can I open a cc2014 file in my cs6 version of Indesign ?
    I have several files that has been saved in a cc2014 version and I can't open them in my CS6 version of Indesign.
    I don t have access to anyone who have the cc 2014 version to convert the file.
    How can I do it from my cs6 version?
    THANKS!

    You can't do it from CS6.
    You have to export to IDML from InDesign CC2014 (or whatever the version it was created in) and then open the IDML in the earlier versoin of InDesign.
    All explained in the FAQ on the main forum page.

  • I can't open D7200 NEF file with Photoshop CS6. I checked the updates and there are no updates available. What do I do?

    Hi,
    I can't open D7200 NEF files with Photoshop CS6.I checked the updates and there are no updates available.What do I do?
    Nitin

    For the time being, shoot JPEG images. At this time there is no support for NEF files from the D7200 in any Adobe product. It was released at such a time that it wasn't included in the last Camera Raw update. And Lightroom hasn't been updated either. Consequently, there is no DNG converter available at this time. We will have to wait and see what programs will be able to accommodate the D7200 when Adobe releases updates or upgrades that support the camera.

  • Can not open windows exe files.

    I have enrolled at uni by correspondence and can not open any forums that have being created by adobe captivate ( mostly exe files ) with my mac. I do not run any windows with my computer the lecturer has emailed me that previous students have open these files by running them on a mac with a windows emulator.
    Any help would be appreciated

    Hi Kristen and welcome to Discussions,
    Mac OSX can not run .exe files, since these are meant to be run in Windows (originally MS-DOS, but that's another story )
    Apples BootCamp lets you run Windows on the 'Nativ' (real) hardware your Mac has, whereas any Virtualization app like Parallels, VMWare Fusion or VirtualBox runs Windows in a 'virtualized environment' (emulated) hardware.
    While these Virtualization apps are great for running the typical Office programs, they are not best suited for any programs, that need direct hardware access like games for example.
    Crossover Mac is an app which allows to run certain Windows programs without having to have/buy a Windows License/CD/DVD to install Windows.
    BootCamp: http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/bootcamp.html
    VMWare Fusion: http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/
    Parallels: http://www.parallels.com/en/desktop/
    VirtualBoX: http://www.virtualbox.org/
    Crossover Mac: http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxmac/
    For starters I would try VirtualBox (since it is free) and a Windows license you might own and see how it works.
    Hope it helps

  • Can't open ABR brush file in Photoshop CS6. Any solutions.

    Hello,
    I downloaded a set of brushes as an ABR file, pasted it into the 'brush' folder in the 'presets' folder, but when I try to load my brushes I can't see any ABR files in my brushes folder.
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    I'd be so grateful if anyone can help.

    If you are using Windows, did you place them in the 32 bit Program Files (x86) folder or the 64 bit Program Files folder?
    Place them in here
    C:\Users\Your Name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Presets\Brushes
    so both versions can see them.

  • Can't open Canon Cr2 file in Photoshop CS6

    I purscahed PShop CS6 Upgrade a few days ago as an upgrade for the full CS4 Extended (which was upgraded to CS5 last year).  I installed CS6 as an upgrade to the installed and registered CS5. 
    Neither Bridge CS6 nor Photoshop CS6 will read Canon Cr2 raw files, and the "About Photoshop" splash screen indicates my purchased CS6 is a Beta version. 
    What has gone wrong?  Should I uninstall CS5 and CS6, reinstall CS4 and then apply the CS6 upgrade to CS4?
    Thanks
    Ken Lilley

    Hi Chris
    Thanks for the reply.  My reply is a bit delayed from time zones - I
    live in Australia & had to go out to do some work.
    My CS6 upgrade was bought from the Adobe Store Australia on May 10.     
    Order number is:  AD003318323AU
    The downloadsI got on May 10 seemed to cause the problem.  I had trouble
    with the Akamai option but used a second option to get CS6 in 2 files -
    the small exe and the big zipped file.  The small exe wouldn't unzip the
    main file so I unzipped it manually and installed from that, and somehow
    or other I finished up with the beta version.  I'd never installed the
    beta version before this, but the "About Photoshop" splash screen made
    it obvious that I had it then.
    When I got home a while ago I ran the Adobe download process again and
    this time it worked, and file sizes and date last modified etc were
    different in today's download.  I deactivated the first CS6, uninstalled
    it, ran Adobe Creative Suite Cleanser Tool and reinstalled from todays
    downloaded files.  My new CS6 is the correct & current version.
    Adobe will probably have another confused customer somewhere who did
    what I did at about the same time and got the beta version instead of
    the real program.
    The CR2 files I couldn't open were from a Canon G1X.  My Canon 5D Mk2
    files opened properly.
    Thanks again

  • Just bought Nikon D600, can't open the raw file from my Photoshop element 9, please adivise.  Thanks

    Can't open the raw file in my Photoshop Element 9 from my new Nikon D600, please help. many thanks
    Brian

    Hi,
    The D600 requires camera raw version 7.3 or later - that is not compatible with Photoshop Elements 9.
    You need to either
    1) upgrade to Photoshop Elements 11 or 12
    or
    2) you can download the free Adobe DNG converter to convert you NEF files to DNG files and then PSE 9 can read the DNG files
    The latest version of the DNG converter that you can use will depend on your operating system.
    For XP or Vista :
    DNG Converter 8.3
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5694
    For Windows 7 or 8
    Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 8.5
    For Mac

  • I can only open 1 .Ai file at a time from explorer

    Okay.  Googling is getting me nowhere and posting this is a last resort.
    computer is running:
    Windows 7 x64 SP1
    Creative Suite 5.5
    Illustrator 5.1
    The problem is:
    From within Windows Explorer, I can only open 1 Illustrator file at a time.  To get a different file to open, I either have to drag and drop the second file into the tabs under the menubar, or I need to quit Illustrator and re-open it.  Also,  I can not open additional files from Explorer one-at-a-time if one is already open.
    Quirks:
    If I go to File -> Open I can select multiple files from within the Open File dialogue window and they open just fine.  but i can't do it from within windows explorer.  This used to work and now it doesn't and I have no idea why.  Can anyone help me out?
    Seriously? 137 views and no replies?  No one has run into this before?

    This is a long shot but try going to Preferences/Type and uncheck "Show Font Names in English".
    Quit illustrator and restart, does it work now?
    The reason I´m suggesting this is that unless I have this box unchecked, some internal function in illustrator crashes after I´ve opened one document and I have to quit & restart if I wan´t to open another one. A rather silly bug and I stumpled upon the solution by accident after cursing illustrator for a couple of months...
