Can't open CS3 documents I previously created with CS3

I have InDesign CS3, says 3.0.1 when it opens. I have been using it for several years, but not for about 4 months. Suddenly I am unable to open previous projects I created with this program. I get an error message from the content manager the same as if I was trying to open a CS3 document with CS2 -- upgrade your plug-ins or get the new version. If I click on configure plugins, everything seems fine. If I click on update, it says there is nothing to update.

Let's assume you have CS3. Do you also have CS?
I'm not sure if you're on a Mac or PC, but are the files linked to open with the right program? I created this situation for myself (on purpose) to prevent myself from opening a clients files in CS4.
Could you be launching a previous version?

  • HT4641 I have recently upgraded to Pages 5.1.  I can't open any of my previously created Pages docs because I am told they are too old and have to be saved in Pages'09 first. I don't have Pages '09. How do I open them?

    I am technologically challenged senior citizen who recently upgraged to Pages 5.1 from what I think was iWorks '08.  I now find that I am not able to open any of my important previously created Pages documents.  I receive a pop-up that tells me that they are too old and must be saved in Pages'09 first.  I no longer have the disk for iWorks 08 and don't have Pages '09 on my iMac.  Any ideas how I might get these documents open?

    You should have the old Pages '08 inside the iWork folder, inside your Applications folder.
    Open your old files in Pages '08 > Menu > File > Export > Word
    Pages 5 can then open that Word file.

  • Can't open Adobe documents on iPad 3

    Can't open Adobe documents on iPad 3 with Adobe app

    Here is web site where I had the problem.
    http://hosted.rightprospectus.com/IvyFunds/Fund.aspx?dt=AR&cu=8911&ss=IF
    Since then I received another such email with a pdf extension and it worked!
    I got this reply from Adobe on my problem with the above link.
    "Thanks John,
    I looked at your screenshots, and it appears that the issue you are seeing is that the website you are trying to get the documents from is not compatible with the iPad. Unfortunately, many websites have still not yet updated to work with the new mobile systems, but since tablet sales are increasing rapidly, and should overtake laptops in the next 3 years, that will change.
    The website seems to be using an HTML feature called “Object Embedding” which only works on desktop computers. The website seems to also be presenting a dialog to the user letting them know that to view the embedded PDF they need to install Adobe Reader, and forwards the user to our standard Adobe Reader download page.
    The net is that I don’t know how to make this work for you, unless you can find a way to make that website give you a link to just download the PDF directly.

    Hi MBilyeu,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You can use these steps to open your Pages documents with the previous version:
    Permanently change the document’s app
    Select the document and choose File > Get Info.
    In the Info window, click the triangle next to “Open with” to expand the section.
    Choose an app from the pop-up menu, or choose Other to locate a different app.
    If you want to use that app to open all documents of the same type as the current document and created by the same app, click Change All.
    Temporarily change the document’s app
    You can open a document in a different app without changing the app that normally opens it. Use either of these methods:
    Control-click the document, choose Open With, and then choose the app you want to use.
    Drag the document to the app’s icon in the Dock or in the Finder.

    OS X Mountain Lion: Choose an app to open a document

  • Can't open 1 document created using travel journal template

    Since installing Snow Leopard yesterday I found out I can't open this one file I created using the travel journal template. All other Pages '09 files are fine. I just get this error message telling me Pages had to close my document "unexpectedly".
    *"Pages quit unexpectedly while using the SFWordProcessing plug-in"*
    Don't see why it would need to use this plug-in. And I don't recall choosing this plug-in. There must be a way around this. To open this file by turning off that plug-in perhaps. Unless it's absolutely necessary when using the templates. Or the "travel journal" template.

    Can't open a document I created an hour before with Pages 5.0.1; get message saying my Pages is too old, for me to download 5.0.1

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Note: Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • Pages created a random password for my document on my iPad. I have no idea what it is and I can't open my document. HELP!!!

    Pages created a random password for my document on my iPad. I have no idea what it is and I can't open my document. HELP!!!

    How old is your son?
    Under the Spanner in Pages there is Set Password where you create a password with hint. You really have to deliberately dig this out to do it.
    Do you get a hint when you are asked for the password?
    The Password is very secure, if you can't remember what it is, you will have to recreate the document.

  • How can I open a document created in Classic on MacOS X?  When I tried to open it, it says Classic Not Supported. What do I do?

    How can I open a document created in Classic on MacOS X?  When I tried to open it, it says Classic Not Supported. What do I do?

    The short answer is:
    Single click on the document you created in Classic, bring up your 'popup' menu (right click or control-click), select 'Open With' and choose the Mac OS X application you believe will open the document.
    If this does not work. Tell us which Classic application you created the document with and which applications you have which you believe will open your 'classic' document.

  • Suddenly I can't open one document in inumbers: "The sheet can't be imported. The document was created with an unsupported application version."

    Yesterday I worked on a inumbers document on my mac mini. No problem. 3 hours later I would open the same document on my ipad. It told me that there were 2 versions and I had to choose one (surprisingly bouth had the same time/date). Since then I can't open this document anymore (regardless if iphone, ipad, mac mini): "The sheet can't be imported. The document was created with an unsupported application version." I worked on this document more than 1 year only on my ipad, iphone, imac... how can i get it worked or back? Other documents are still working properly.
    Thanks for any hint.

    The first part of the warning message was in german, so it's probably not translated as it really appears in englisch:
    Massage on IPad and IPhone: "Tabelle kann nicht importiert werden. The document was created with an unsupported application version.
    Message on mac mini: ""Verbrauch.numbers" kann nicht geöffnet werden"
    What changed since is also, that the mini privew for this document no more exist; it shows just the inumbers icon in the sheet. The other documents around this one appears with preview and can be open, e.g. are working fine.

  • Pages can't open Pages09 documents from MobileMe

    I have a number of files created with Pages '09 on my iDisk.
    When the files are downloaded with GoodReader they appear as Folders, and Pages-iPad can't open them.
    Is there a way to open Pages documents stored on iDisk with iPad?
    Regards

    One theory I've heard is that it would require true multi-tasking as the iDisk app & Pages/Numbers/Keynote for iPad is another. The current iPhone OS does have that, but iPhone OS 4 will so we may see it then.

  • Pages 5.0 can't open iCloud documents.  Has anybody run into this issue?

    Here's the story:
    I upgraded to Pages 5.0 and can't open .pages documents saved in icloud.
    It does not seem to be a file incompatibility.  I am creating files in Pages for Mac, saving them to iCloud.  They are immediately unable to re-open. 
    I only get a message saying:  The file “{file name}.pages” couldn’t be opened.
    Documents can be created without issue.  If they are saved to my local drive, I can open them again.
    Obviously, this makes it very difficult to use Pages with any other devices because document syncing is impossible.
    Details on my system:
    Mid-2010 13" Macbook pro
    2.4 Ghz core 2 duo
    8 GB ram
    OS X 10.9

    I was also experiencing same issues without being to open Older Pages Docs from iCloud in Pages 5.  I followed suneson Recommendation and process to the T...    Works perfectly. 
    Important to note you do have to do the second part in order for it to work completely.  I tested just the first half and still had issues.  Once Disabling and Re-enabling Documents and Clearing Cache - works perfectly now.  Thanks Suneson!
    Suneson process:
    Move all of your iCloud documents to a local folder (offline).
    Go to the iCloud preference pane i System Preferences.
    Click Manage... and delete all Pages data.
    The Next Step is required:
    Go back to iCloud preferences and uncheck "Documents & Data".
    Check it again.
    Delete ~/Library/Caches/--anything related to Pages or iWork--

  • Can't open secured documents on windows 7 domain client with mandatory profiles.

    While opening certain PDF files we have the problem that the user is presented with a message that he does not have the rights permissions. This happens twice, after that the users gets an empty page with the message the Adobe version might not be up to date. We use Acrobat Pro 10, but this also happens while using Reader 11.0.8. On our windows 2008 terminal services machine this could be fixed by giving the user rights on c:\ to create and remove a file. :O. On windows 7 this doesn't work probably because of UAC. But we've tried every solution to that available on the internet, disabling uac, changing uac options, changing rights on userprofile folders, changing rights on c:\ but to no avail. When using process explorer we can see it wants to create a temp file p328hkl.tmp or something like that on C but it can't and immediattely after is shows the error on screen.
    Anyone who also has this problem or solved it? There are no problems with simple self made pdf files/scans but only with certain types of pdf files for which it tries to create a tmp file.
    Thanks,
    Peter

    Hi Brogers,
    Thanks for your reaction. We do have AppData redirection in place. We redirect AppData to a share on our data server which works perfectly fine for all other applications. The weird thing is that Reader/Acrobat try to write to C:\ which to my knowledge should not happen, is this maybe a fallback because it can’t write to a different location? Users have full control on their own roaming AppData but not on their local AppData that is made by windows itself while copying the mandatory default profile to C:\.
    I might use the wrong term while saying secured documents. I’m talking about a document created by Raet/Youforce a web application for personal administration. The documents can be opened by other viewers than Acrobat/Reader but then only contain the background and not the text. In Acrobat/Reader they do open normally when Acrobat/Reader can create the .tmp file. Otherwise it will not display the file at all. I would attach such a document to see but since it contains certain info I am not allowed to do so.
    I hope we can work out a solution for this.

  • I have been working on a document in Pages 4.3 and now it tells me I can not open the document unless I upgrade to Pages 5.2. When I look up Pages 5.2 the App store says "installed" nor can I find a "purchase" or "install" button.

    My OS is 10.9.3.I've been working on a document in Pages 4.3. Now is says I can not open the document unless I upgrade to Pages 5.2. The Pages 5.2 page in the App store says "installed" nor can I find a "purchase" or "install" button. How do I get Pages 5.2?

    If you have already updated to Pages 5.2 on your Mac, you may be trying to open the file with a previous version of Pages. If this is the case, you have two versions of Pages on your Mac & are trying to open Pages 5 documents with Pages 4. Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there then right-click on the Dock icon & select Options > Keep in Dock.
    Installing new versions of iWork has never replaced existing versions. This is nothing new. The only thing new is that the '09 apps are moved to an iWork '09 folder if they were purchased from the Mac App Store. If they were installed from disk they should already be in a separate folder in Applications.
