Can't open Illustrator CC files in Fireworks CS6

After having updated to Illustrator CC I can no longer open illustrator files or rather, some files open and others do not. I get the following error:
How can I fix this error so that I can open Illustrator CC files in Fireworks CS6?

Save the files as CS6 from AI.

"Can't open illustration. File is locked or in use. ID = -54" shows up when I try to install the Ai2Canvas.aip plugin on my Macbook Pro. I'm using Illustrator CS5. What do I have to do to make this plugin work?

This one should be the CS5 one http://visitmix.com/labs/ai2canvas/

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.

Opening illustrator cs3 file in Fireworks changes color, but not code

I created a vector graphic in Illustrator CS3, with RGB. I
then opened the file in Fireworks and everything looks fine because
it's still vector. But the color is not right. It's close, but much
lighter. The RGB values are exactly the same.
Anyone have this problem before?
thanks,
Justin

Fireworks does not use color profiles, so the colors you see
in Fireworks will be what the majority of Web site visitors will
see (skipping, for the moment, the huge problem of monitor
variation). Only Safari displays images using the color profiles.
I recently read a moderately controversial blog post on
setting/disabling profiles in Photoshop (comments disabled at 200),
but many people appreciated the article here:
Best
Practice Color Setup for Web Designers
So, while your experience is with Illustrator, it's probably
the same underlying cause. Illustrator is showing you the colors
with an ICC profile, even though they're in RGB. When you open the
image in Fireworks, you see the colors without a profile.
This is one reason I like using Fireworks. I have a better
feeling about what my visitors are going to see (again, setting
aside the huge problem of monitor variation).

HELP! How can I open illustrator cs1 files in cs5

I updated my old cs package to cs5 and now when I try to open those old files it says that can´t open the illustrator, also old acrobat files seems to be corrupted in my computers opinion. Can you please help me how can I open those? Thank you so much in advance

You say that it says "can't open the Illustrator". Does that mean the application won't start?
Will the application start without double-clicking a document?
How are you trying to open the files (double-clicking the file, dragging the file over the application icon, using the application file-open menu)?

Can't open any PNG Files in Fireworks MX2004

I am unable to open any png files with more than one element in them - eg. text and images.
I get a Could not complete your request 'internal error message'.
I've re-installed fireworks but this hasn't helped.
Please help - this is driving me mad!

Thank you - this seems to have worked. I checked out the font I used in the document in 'Font Book' deleted it, re-added it and validated it, re-started my computer and am now able to open png files again. Thank you very much this problem has been stressing me out!

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 I open Photoshop Action files in Fireworks CS5?

Hi,
I need to confirm that this is okay before buying something!
Thanks

Thanks for the reply.
Shame, most of the options I have for what I want rely on using Actions...
Guess I'll look for an application.

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.

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

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.

After using an ExtendScript (via ESTK) Illustrator becomes corrupted and "Can't open illustration."

Hey, thanks for reading.
I'm having a strange problem with Illustrator CS5 and ESTK CS5. I'm new to writing ExtendScripts, so I haven't a clue what could be going wrong here but here's the skinny:
I've written the following code, which is very specialized to the exact document I'm working with. Using the ExtendScript Toolkit, the script goes through the following loops:
The primary problem:
For some reason, running this script causes Illustrator to become somehow corrupted. I can continue working with the document as long as it is open, but if I try to close it and re-open it, I get the infuriatingly unhelpful error dialog "Can't open illustration." With no extra details.
The same error comes up if I try to open any other .ai files. Shutting down and rebooting doesn't fix the problem. I have to completely uninstall Illustrator, then re-install it before it will work again. And even then, if I try to open the ExtendScript-corrupted file the whole Illustrator app gets corrupted and needs to be reinstalled.
Oh, also Illustrator itself shows up as "(Not responding)" while the script is running, but the ESTK console clearly shows that the script is chugging along as expected.
Specifics about the script:
There are 4 "Buttons" on the document, and a library full of nearly-identical symbols in the Library (different colored backgrounds for the buttons).
The script cycles through every symbol in the library, replacing and deleting instances of the previous symbol.
Then, for each symbol, it cycles through an array (technically an object-literal) of { language-code: "string" } pairs, and saves a .png of each artboard for each word.
What follows is a pared-down version of the full script:
(I tried to add a few $.sleep(10); calls, hoping that maybe just a brief slowdown in the processes might help. It didn't.)
This script (in its original form) outputs a ton of files very, very quickly.
Script Example
var folder = Folder.selectDialog();                     // Ask for a folder choice.
var aDoc = app.activeDocument;                        // Declare an active Document reference.
var textLayer = aDoc.layers.getByName('text');   // Get the text layer, for moving it back/forward
var textFrms = aDoc.textFrames;                       // Get all text frames, for language swap
var allSymbols = aDoc.symbols;                         // Get array of all symbols in the symbol library
var allSymbolItems = aDoc.symbolItems;            // Get an array of all symbol instances in the active document
var helpTextArray =
    en: "help",
    az: "Kömək",
    cs: "Nápověda",
    da: "Hjælp",
    de: "hilfe",
    el: "Bοήθεια",

Are there best practices that I'm unaware of here that could be causing this corruption?
Does anyone know what could be happening?
The only error I ever get is "Can't open illustration." There's never anything more helpful, so I have no idea what could be going wrong.
If there's any more information that would be of use to anyone I'd be happy to share. This is wasting a lot of my time and making me pull my hair out like crazy,

I have not had the time to look over your script but at a glance there are a few things I would handle differently…
Firstly returning a document to a given state… If you play with this snippet you can see that app.undo() returns to the last called app.redraw() if there is one else it undo's the whole script…
#target illustrator
doSymbols();
function doSymbols() {
    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    var sym = doc.symbols[0];
    for ( var i = 0; i < 4; i++ ) {
        var foo = doc.symbolItems.add( sym );
        foo.position = Array( i * 72, -( i * 72 ) );
        app.redraw(); // Comment this out to see…
    app.undo(); // Returns to last redaw state if any…?
Secondly your symbols… You know you can just change the symbol instance's symbol reference…? If they are almost the same particualy size then its an easy swap…?
#target illustrator
doSymbols();
function doSymbols() {
    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    var sym = doc.symbols[1]; // Next symbol in the palette
    for ( var i = 0; i < 4; i++ ) {
        doc.symbolItems[i].symbol = sym;
        app.redraw();

iag,
You may start looking at recovery methods as the ones described in these links (although the cases dealt with differ form yours, you may do something similar):
http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/troubleshoot-damaged-illustrator-files.html

http://daxxter.wordpress.com/2009/04/16/how-to-recover-a-corrupted-illustrator-ai-file/
It is difficult work, but it may be worth it.
Working with the code, one specific way is to create a new empty document and create some very simple artwork in a copy of it (to see where the actual contents go), then move code from the corrupt file into the empty document and see what may be recovered that way.
Hopefully, this will appear less woolly once you start on it.
Edit: almost an hour after midnight here so I have to attend to other duties. The very best of luck.
