Can't open an InDesign file off of an SMB share in Yosemite.
Anyone else having this issue? When I go to open a file off of our file server it tells me the file is in use, or that I don't have the correct permissions. If I force SMB1 or CIFS, then I can open the file again. Seems to only happen with InDesign files.
Ok I've been testing some things and here are the results...
Word files don't seem to open, if I double click on the file in Finder nothing happens. If I try to open the same file directly from Word I get an error saying: Word cannot open this document. The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document, or the file name might contain invalid characters (for example, \/).
Powerpoint files open without any problem but saving them after some modification is not possible (This file is read-only. Do you want to save changes under a different name?) It's like Powerpoint opens a read-only file version.
Creating a new document in Indesign and then saving it onto the server is also not possible, this is the error I get: Cannot save "Untitled-1" under a new name. The file "DBTmp38..." is damaged (Error Code: 0).
When composing a new e-mail in Outlook for Mac and adding an attachment directly from the server, there is also an error: Message could not be saved. If I copy the file to my desktop and then use it as attachment the e-mail can be sent out.
I also think this is more Apple related then Adobe related. It clearly has something to do with rights/permissions. The cfis:// fix doesn't work. Wether I use smb:// or cfis:// or even something else, I always get these errors...

I can't open a .psd file in Illustrator CS4 after upgrading to Yosemite
I can't open a .psd file in Illustrator CS4 after upgrading to Yosemite.
Can you open any file, i.e. jpeg, etc.? Have you installed the Apple legacy Java: Java for OS X 2014-001? I'm guessing you have because you wouldn't be able to open PS at all without it. But have to ask.

Can you open/edit indesign files on CS3 that were created using CS5?
I recently bought indesign CS5 and am using this for my internship; however, my boss is still using CS3 and said she could not open or edit the indesign file i sent her. I looked under "export" to see if there was an option and did not find anything. I am using a mac and I believe she is using a P.C., also, when I last sent her the file, I was still using my free trial - does any of this make a difference? Please help!
This has been covered endless times but anyway, I'll do it again!
You have to export an idml file from CS5, then open that idml in CS4, export an inx file from there then open that in CS3 and save as an indd. Sorry but there is no way round it, fullstop, end of story etc etc. So if she is using CS3 and you're using CS5 there is no route between them unless you have CS4, and even then the route is littered with pitfalls! Look here for a rather long discussion / sometimes rant on the subject.
Ultimately she'd have to upgrade, or you could see if you could buy a CS3 or 4 version but it is very hard to get a legitimate copy, the only way is buy it off someone you know and most people aren't selling because they're upgrading.
Best news last, there is a short term fix, go to this guys blog and you can download a trial version of CS4 which will last for a month. -
Can't open my InDesign files.
Hello,
I created some InDesign files using InDesign CC on my MacBook Pro. I now can't get them to open. I've been able to open them on a co-workers machine (he is also running InDesign CC on a Mac). I keep getting this error message, "Cannot open the file "XXXXX.indd". 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." Any troubleshooting ideas? I can't figure out why these files won't open for me.
ThanksI created these files myself in InDesign and up until a few days ago could open them no problem. This is not the issue with these files. They also opened in InDesign fine on my co-workers computer.

Hi
I installed 2014 release and now can only open old indesign files in the old version not the new one. What do I need to do to be able to open them in the new version?
Thanks in advanceThe tef file is an iCloud file.
Maybe turn it off for a while and do something else before restarting it to give it time to reset.

I can't open older InDesign files. Can anyone help?
We upgraded to new computers recently, and we re-installed InDesign on the new one. I can create new files, but I can't open older files. I use InDesign to create a newsletter, and I use the same basic template for each one.
I get a message that tells me to update my plug-ins, or to update to the newest version of InDesign. I tried downloading those things, but it didn't work. -

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. -
Can anyone help me open these InDesign files?
I've been trying all day to open files for a project I was working on in March with InDesign. I could open them in March but now my computer is either crashing from trying to load the folder that contains the files, or it gives me one of two error messages. The first saying I don't have permission to open the file, the second saying the file is already open with another user.
I have tried opening from my computer and from an external drive, neither work. I have tried restarting. I've tried opening as a copy, original and normal. I've tried opening InDesign as an administrator. I have tried phoning Adobe and have been on hold for 25 minutes so far. I have tried the online help but nobody available there. I don't know what else to try.
I can create a new InDesign files and I'm not having any trouble with any other Adobe products. My subscription is until 29th August. Any ideas appreciated.
Thanks,
AngsIf you open it in a plain text editor, what do the first few lines look like? If there's no lock file, the next most likely cause for this error is that the files aren't really .indd files.

InDesign CS5 (Mac OS 10.6) can not open its own file
I need guidance to open an artwork file that in one hour I have to send to the print shop. InDesign refuses to open its own file.
Any clue? Adobe, please help.Re: InDesign CS5 (Mac OS 10.6) can not open its own file
Bob and Peter
Thank your for helping us out. It was really necessary to ask a coworker to open the file and export it in InDesign markup language.
Three hours later than expected, but it's done!
We are stuck here. I'm a Master Collection user of CS5, using only Dreamweaver, Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Bridge and Acrobat Pro. (I don't know why I bought the Master's). My coleague former Window user, got a Mac in May and downloaded the trial version of Design Studio Standard Collection of CS5.5. Before expiring, we purchased its license and filled it in the active trial version.
A couple of months ago we noticed that were missed Plug Ins on his version and contacted Adobe who instructed us to download the whole files again. We never did because it is a pain to get rid of the missing parts of a pre installed trial version etc.
I will ask Adobe to send a CD disk for his version.

Content generation error. Please confirm the file can be opened in InDesign?
I have been trying to upload a couple of files to a folio that was built yesterday, everytime I try to upload one of them I recieve the error message "Content generation error.Failed to open the InDesign file. Please confirm the file can be opened in InDesign." I have no idea why this is happening as one of the files was successfully uploaded to the folio yesterday and I have not made any changes to it since. I have a also restarted and trashed InDesign preferences so there are no problems there. If anyone has any answers or has experienced any similar problems could you please let me know.
Thanks
Adam FlanaganThat was the first thing I tried because obviously I wanted to find out if it was a problem with my file or a general issue with all uploads to that folio. It seems to be working ok now, although I still have no idea what the problem was and I have never seen that error message before :s
Thanks for your response.

How can I open quarkxpress 8 files with indesign?
Hi, prior to purchasing CC a sales person whom I spoke with using online chat confirmed that InDesign would open QuarkXpress files and a plugin was already in the application.
I can't open any quark files from InDesign. Can this be done without purchasing a third party plug-in?
Thanks in advanceInDesign can natively open Quark 4.x and 3.x files only. To open anything
later you’ll need a copy of Q2ID from Markzware. -
