Can't open .aep files created in AE v12.0 in AE 11.0

Total AE N00b here ...
I downloaded some .aep tutorial files and can't open them in AE CS6 (version 11.0.2.11). When I do, I get the error:
I assume that AE version 12.0x353 is creative cloud?
Is there any way to open newer versions of .aep files in standard CS6 versions of AE?

No, you can't open After Effects CC (12.0) projects in After Effects CS6 (11.0).
You can open an After Effects CC (12.0) project in After Effects CC (12.0) and then use a command to save the file as a version that can be opened by After Effects CS6 (11.0):
File > Save As > Save A Copy As CS6

Can I open psd files created in Photoshop CC with lower version? Actually CS5.

Can I open psd files created in Photoshop CC with lower version? Actually CS5.
My home and office have different version each.

Yes, PROVIDED that the file has not been saved with any layers containing any of the specific new features introduced starting with Photoshop CC and higher.
If the file has been flattened or if it was flat to begin with there will be no problems.

Can't open DNG files created with Mac CS5 downloader in Mac CS4 Photoshop

I recently installed CS5 on my mac but I kept CS4 installed as well. I notice that I cannot open DNG files created with CS5 in Photoshop CS4. Bridge CS4 shows the files only as icons - no image thumbnails. I am able to open these same files on a Windows version of CS4. Is there some plugin for my mac CS4 that will enable me to access the DNG files created with CS5? Is there a way to use my CS5 downloader when converting my raw files from my camera to DNG files that will make them compatiple with PS and Bridge CS4?

Well, yes...but you'll need to modify your DNG Converter prefs to allow for that. You''ll need a recent (ideally current DNG Converter 6.4.1 or above) and click on the DNG Converter preferences and select the correct DNG Converter options. Check DNG Converter 6.4.1 (the current version) and click on "Change Preferences" to be sure select Camera Raw 5.4 and later then make sure CS4 is updated to ACR 5.7 (which is the last version of ACR for CS4) However, the changes made to ACR 6.x really should be adopted since IQ for ACR 6.4.x is a lot better...

Can't open .xls files created by Numbers

All of a sudden, using Numbers '09 I can no longer open certain .xls files that I created in the first place by saving .numbers files as Excel files (using the "Save copy as Excel Document" checkbox in the Save As... dialog box). Some will open, but the vast majority attempt to open, and then I get an "Import Error - An unknown error occurred." message. Backed up copies of the same files produce the same result. New .numbers files I save as Excel documents can't open either.
Background: Earlier tonight while saving a .numbers file as an Excel Document, the blue "progress" bar got about halfway and then just hung there. Having not rebooted the computer for a couple of weeks, and lots of apps open, I proceeded to shut down other processes and eventually the blue progress bar finished and an Excel file was saved. However, after rebooting the computer, the above inability to open Excel files started to occur. Something in the "save as" process must have corrupted?
I quit Numbers, deleted the com.apple.iwork.numbers.plist file from Library/preferences, emptied trash, and restarted Numbers -- but that didn't solve the problem.
What would you all suggest now at this point? Would reinstalling Numbers solve this? (hmmn, where is that disc?) I'm personally fine with the .numbers format, but my clients are not, hence the need to save as Excel documents. Any help would be appreciated!

ack, this whole thing is frustrating. I can create new .numbers documents, save them as Excel documents, and those resulting .xls documents will open fine. HOWEVER, if I grab an old .xls document from a time machine backup (over a month ago), I cannot open it. Nor can I open an newly saved .xls document saved from the same original .numbers file.
It would seem that the only thing I can do now is take those old .numbers files and copy/paste the content into a brand new .numbers file. After saving as, the resulting .xls files open fine (with the usual "import warnings", but I'm used to those )

Mavericks CPU can't open pdf files created on Yosemite

I've looked around for this issue, but I haven't seen any questions similar to mine.
My wife and I have identical MacBook Pros. Hers is running Mavericks, while I've updated mine to Yosemite.
By chance, we realized that if I email her files created on my laptop, she can't open them. I've sent her Pages files, and the same files converted to PDF. So, either on Preview or Pages, she cannot open those files I've sent her.
I know that the easy answer is "update your wife's laptop to Yosemite," but I'm rather curious whether there's a bug in the system that hasn't been discovered. Besides, my wife is quite happy with Mavericks, and that's fine by me.
Any help or suggestion in this regard will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
BK

I just tested opening a Pages v5.5.1 file on Yosemite and Exporting it to a PDF file. Then I copied the PDF and Pages files over to another Mac running Mavericks and I was able to open and view the PDF file. I can't open the actual Pages file in Mavericks created in Yosemite because the Pages app is a different version in Mavericks (v5.2.2) and not compatible with the Yosemite version. But, PDFs definitely work fine and I can also open/view the same PDF file on a Mac running Mountain Lion. So, Preview in Mavericks and Mountain Lion, for me, open and view PDF files created from Yosemite/Pages without issue.
Have you tried opening your PDF file on another Mac running Mavericks?
You might try reinstalling Mavericks on top of itself. Maybe Preview in Mavericks is somehow corrupt. On the Mavericks Mac, you can redownload/reinstall Mavericks from the App Store using the same Apple ID that originally downloaded it. Or restart the Mavericks Mac into the Recovery HD (Command+R) and Reinstall OS X from there. Back up before you do the reinstall. The reinstall won't harm any data or apps. It just installs the OS over itself.

Can't open AEP file, crashes AE 6 with error messages...

I've been rendering a 3D scene for a few weeks and got all the final frames finished on Thanksgiving. I've been composing them all weekend and one particular file I had all put together and then saved it and closed it and tried to open it Adobe Media Encoder to make a final video to send off to the client. Encoder repeatedly would hang at 100% opening the file, so I decided to open up AE again to see what was up and sure enought the file itself wouldnt open anymore. I get the error message [After Effects error: crash occurred while envoking effect plug-in "Auto Level"] and then [After Effects error: Crash in progress. Last logged message was:<3376> <Dynamic Link> <5> C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS6\Adobe Premiere Pro.exe]. Then it crashes completely and asks if I want to save the file. Of course the resulting saved file is only a fraction of the oriiginal file size and doesnt open either. I tried emptying the cache files and turning on caps lock, tried to import the file into a new project and even place it on the Premiere timeline. No dice, nothing I know seems to work. I'd really rather not have to redo the 10+ hours I spent composing all those layers and re-adding back all the effects work. I can see all my compositions in the background while its crashing (which just pains me). Any way I could get my file back into a useable state?? Wouldn't care if I needed to re-do some of it, but deadline is approaching fast and I just can't be spending all the time to redo this one scene.
I'm on a 6core i7 PC, Win7 64bit OS with 32Gb of Ram and an Nvidia 670GTX 2Gb video card , 2 internal SSDs set as RAID for the boot drive. Of course this is all in After Effects CS6 from the master collection. Everything is latest driver as of 4 weeks ago when I started all of this (brand new machine!). I am composing 16bit PNG image sequences, and adding standard color corrections and image tuning, as well as a pass in Red Giant Looks, Re:visions Reel Smart Motion Blur and Video CoPilots Optical Flares.

What Dave said. MP is hopelessly overrated. Sometimes it works splendidly on simple projects, most of the time not so much when you throw halfway complex stuff at it. In your case it would have been quietly disabled behind your back, anyways (read this for reference: After Effects Help | Memory and storage), but with AE anything is possible. I suspect that a conflict between hardware acceleration features for another effect or footage decoding made things go boom in your case, but without knowing al lthe details, it's impossible to tell what exactly caused the breakdown.

Can't open InDesign files created on my mac on my pc

I have both a Mac (@ home) and a PC (@ work). I recently installed CS5 Standard on both machines. Everything works great until I try opening something I've created on the Mac at home on my PC at work. It tells me that I'm missing a plug in. I did a standard install on both machines and the files I'm working with are all relatively simple. Not sure what I need to do to make sure that I can work seamlessly cross platform. I am aware that the fonts situation can be dicey going from machine to machine, but I expected to at least to be able to open files. Can anyone help me?

This is the only thing you can do unless you want to keep using an IDML workflow which I don’t recommend.

Can you open Dreamweaver files created in CS5 in CS4?

Does anyone know if it is possible to backsave a CS5 Dreamweaver file to be compatible with CS4???
Any help is much appreciated!

No conversion is required.
Dreamweaver creates HTML and CSS files which are plain text (readable by humans) and can even be opened in a text editor.
There is no proprietary code or file format like there is in Microsoft Word.

Can't open PDF file created in Microsoft PowerPoint in Keynote!?

When i try to open the PDF file by finding the file in 'Finder' and then opening it with a program, keynote is not highlighted as a program that will work. I then tried to force the file to open by selecting 'all applications' instead of 'available applications'. This time keynote is highlighted, but when i try to open the PDF i get a message saying "file could not be handled because Keynote cannot open files in the “Preview Document” format."
Please could someone help as i need to be able to open and edit these PDF files for my degree!!
Many thanks!!

Welcome to the forums!
PDF files are not editable. It sounds like you need the original PowerPoint files, and not the PDF versions that were created from them.

I can't open rtf files created using the 'touch' command in Terminal

I don't know much about CLI but I like to play with my tech. When I create an RTF file using
touch foo.rtf
it creates the file but when I try and open it, it just says "The document “foo.rtf” could not be opened."
What's the deal?

Answered Here on StackOverflow:
As you've likely discovered, touching a nonexistent file will create a zero-byte file with the name you specify. (touch is also used to update the modification time on an existing file. Seeman touch for further details.)
The problem you're running into is that though a completely empty file is valid HTML, text, or Markdown, it is not valid RTF—this is true of many file formats, actually, which are structured in a particular way and require some data to be present be valid.
Based on my experimentation, the bare minimum RTF file appears to be
{\rtf1}
If you'd like to create a blank RTF file from the shell, try this:
echo '{\rtf1}' >Foo.rtf
Note the above will overwrite Foo.rtf if it exists.
