Can't open file, upgrade plug-ins? Help.

First, I have InDesign CC and am using InDesign CC files. Every time I open a file which is an InDesignCC template file, the warning window opens and says,
"Cannot Open File. Cannot open file. Please upgrade your plug-ins to their latest versions, or upgrade to the latest version of Adobe InDesign."
Well I've already updated InDesign so I assume it's the plug-ins. Can someone direct me on how to update them or how to fix this problem? I'm on a Mac.
Thanks

That error message has to be coming from CS6 (not yet patched to 8.0.2) or earlier. All current versions of ID would tell you which version was used to save the file.
You might have a Creative Cloud subscription, but never downloaded the CC or CC 2014 versions of ID (versions 9 & 10, respectively).

All of Microsoft Office has disappeared. Can't open files, even in Dropbox, even after installing LibreOffice. Can you help me?

You can try a system restore to a point before the update. If you're lucky, it might work, but I often find System Restore will fail when you need it the most.

How about using your "Auto Save" Project Files?

I just upgraded to Numbers 3.0 but can´t open files of Numbers 9, help...!!!!!!
Can someone please help me, because those files in Numbers 9 version, are for my work and now I can´t open them

Hi rabg,
I am using OS X 10.8 on a Mac. This may be different if you are using iOS.
Does Numbers'09 still exist in your Applications folder? Maybe inside a new folder? Perhaps you could use Numbers'09 to open your documents.
Regards,

Help! Can't open files in all programs since installing version cue upgrade

Please help. A few days ago I got some pop up (I'm in windows XP) saying updates were available for 2 adobe things. I just chose yes and kept working. Now, I can't open files in any of my CS3 programs. I have lost 4 days of productivity and fear losing my mind next!! after doing some research, it appears alot of people are having trouble since uploading some version cue upgrade for cs3. I followed their suggestions and unchecked VC in photoshop (my first offender) and suddenly I could open files again. But now I can't in Illustrator, but in preferences, it does not have VC checked.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the whole package. I've tried just uninstalling VC. Nothing's working and I'm having major deadline problems now.
Please, please help! Thanks.

I am trying to open CR2 files from a Cannon EOS 1DX camera in Photoshop CS6 and I have already updated the Camera Raw Plug in but Photoshop is still giving me the cannot open files dialog box? Help?

Canon 1DX support was added to ACR in version 6.7, 7.1. An updated CS6 should be at level ACR 8.6. If your ACR is not at level 8.6 try using CS6 menu Help>Updates. If that does not install ACR 8.6 try downloading the ACR and DNG 8.6 converter and see if ACR 8.6 will install into your CS6.

Please help me in solving this problem.

Make sure Java is enable in your browser's security settings.
Open Java Preferences (in Utilities folder)
Make sure Web-start applications are enabled.
Drag Java 32-bit to the top of the list.
jnlp isn't an audio file format. It's just a java web-start program (Java Network Launching Protocol).

My iWeb can't open. A sign comes up and says:"Can't open file "~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2." Help?

I love iWeb. It has many advantages over on-line web-builders, but finding help is not easy.
My iWeb just stopped working. When I try to open it, a sign comes up "Can’t open file “~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2.”
Can anyone help we fix this error and get back to work?

Help! Whenever I try to open one important file on icloud pages it says 'can't open file' - on my computer and ipod, too! Can I retrieve it?

I have a very important document and it is saved only o the icloud (which I thought would be fine). Only now, whenever I try to open it it gives me the message 'can't open file'. I'm a PhD student, and that file represents a lot of work for me. I did it on the ipad because I had to travel, and now I'm kicking myself. I need that file! Is there any way to get it back?

Thanks for your suggestion - I have tried that like 50 times (I was feeling the desperation and thought if I reset enough times it would do it), and I have also tried turning off and on the cloud, adding .pages to the filenames, downloading (didn't work) emailing to myself (did work, wouldn't open). When I looked at the package contents of the file, it did not have a file for content in it - or not one I can find. I'm afraid that it's lost the content within the file (though I don't now how it could!).
I've not had any joy with anything else I have read online. I think it's a more knotty problem than a simple off/on again job!

Indesign 7.0.3 "can't open file"

Getting an error in InDesign. "Can't open file as it is not an InDesign file, a plug in is missing, or it is open by another user."
We get this error, it goes away, and then returns. Could happen on a file we've just had open!
The file(s) in question are InDesign (CS5 7.0.3) files.
No plug ins are missing.
And it is not open by another user.

Opening file from server.
Deleting temp file didn't resolve.
Moving to desktop didn't resolve.
Further details: This problem originates on 1 computer (out of 4). If that computer opens (or tries to open) a file, then the file becomes corrupt for all.
Thanks!

Upgrade Plug-ins? InD CS4

I have been sent a file that shows as an InDesign CS4 file however when I try to open it I get the message - cannot open, upgrade plug-ins or upgrade to the latest version.
I've had a bit of a look at the different threads and it seems that it may be that it was saved from CS5 perhaps?
Could anyone please advise me in the most simple terms what I should ask the originator to do to send the file in a readable format?
This is an urgent job and if I can't get it open then I will need to advise them asap so that they can find someone else to finalise it for them.
Thanks in anticipation
Michelle

(Tiny addition:)
With software upgrades being released almost annually that are not "backwards compatible" ...
InDesign is backwards compatible -- up to a point, at least. (The Paragraph Composer, for example, was rewritten for CS3, so editing a pre-CS4 file into a newer version *will* make text re-flow.)
What you meant is "forwards compatible", and that's more than just a minor technical problem. How could the programmers of CS work with footnotes (CS2 and up), or have foreseen GREP styles in CS4, or column spans in CS5? If it was possible to open a CS4 document into CS3, what should happen with the features that Are Not Available in the older version?
I also forgot to point out a feasible (but not really recommended) way of working with newer documents. If your client insists that you work on his file, he could send you an IDML export. It means that at least you get something (as opposed to "nothing at all"), but of course you don't have any guarantees at all you get to see the same file that the client sees in his version. Any of the new features will get Lost in Translation, and you should even carefully check if "the same" things actually work the same -- as per my note on the Paragraph Composer above.

Can't open file 2

I have a finished project in indesign. It crashed and now it won't open and I'm freaking out. I'm new to Mac, and can't seem to either locate or open the autosave file. The error message reads "can't open file, may not support format missing plug in, etc. I read the previous post but none of it seems to apply. the program crashed while printing to a .pdf.
any and all help will be greatly appreciated!

There is no "autosave" file that you would be able to open independent of the application.
Generally, when ID crashes it will attempt to recover any file that was open at the time of the crash when you relaunch. If the recovery data is corrupt you might see an error message, but usually the program will crash again, and the next restart will bring up a dialog asking if you want to recover. If you say "no" at that point ID should launch, but your previous file will not be recovered, and the recovery data becomes useless.
At this point are you able to open InDesign at all? Do you have any copies of the file as backup anywhere?
Tommy Donovan from Adobe is looking at corrupt files, though he is rarely able to fix them. For more information you can see http://forums.adobe.com/message/1291449#1291449

Hi how/where do I upgrade plug-ins for InDesign CS6 6.0.6?

Hi how/where do I upgrade plug-ins for InDesign CS6 6.0.6?

6.0.6 is CS4, not CS6 (which is version 8).
Why do you need to upgrade plugins? Are you getting an error message trying to pen a file? That meas the file was saved from a newer version of ID, and you'll need either the newer version, or an IDML file exported from the original. You can't upgrade plugins to make this work.

Can't open file, upgrade plug-ins? Help.
