Can't open InDesign 5.5 file in CS5.5

We've received a set of InDesign files from a designer which has been created in CS5.5. I just tried to open the indd file on our production laptop, using InDesign CS5.5 and I'm getting an error message 'CannotConvertNewerDocument'.
I can't understand why this might be happening - I've tried searching forums but can't seem to find anyone else with the same issue. Has anyone else come across this?
The laptop is running Windows 7.
Thanks

Absolutely saved as CS6:
Here's your IDML file which should open fine. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2548785/ABSINT9vaknr.idml

Can I open Indesign 2.0 files with cs6 or the newest version of cc?

I want to buy either cs6 or the newest version of cc. I just need to know if I can open InDesign 2.0 files with either of these newer versions?

In theory, yes, but it's hard to predict what's going to happen with that big a gap in versions. I suggest you download a trial and give it a test, and if the file opens, the very first thing you should do is save as .idml. then open that and save as a new .indd without overwriting the original.

Can't open InDesign and PPT files by double-clicking on them IN A FOLDER

PPT is MS Office 2004, all other MS programs ok. InDesign is CS4. Files are not corrupt, because they open on two more computers. The computer is brand new. I first installed Office, then CS4. The applications open, but the files don't open when I double-click on them IN A FOLDER. If I go to Open and select the file in the folder, then it opens. If I double-click on it IN A FOLDER, it doesn't open. I tried to do the Info panel thing, where you pick the program for the file, and that didn't work. Also, if I drag the file to the desktop, and double-click on it, it will open. A kind volunteer support person said there was an article about this in MACWorld in Dec. 2009, but I tried the suggestions and it still doesn't work. Basically, I need to use InDesign everyday for world, so this is a major problem.

I have a client with a similar issue regarding InDesign CS4. When double-clicking InDesign files on the server, the InDesign application will launch but the document will not open. Opening the document using the Open command in the File menu in InDesign works fine. This issue does not occur in any other CS4 application. To further complicate the matter, another user at the same location running the same version of the Mac OS (10.6.2) and CS4 does not have this issue. I have tried a fresh install of Mac OS X 10.6.2 and CS4 but the issue persists. I have tried creating a new user account and using the authentication credentials of the user that doesn't have this issue to connect to the server on the problem computer but still the issue persists. Prior to doing the fresh install, I swapped the hard drives between the two computers, but the problem stayed with the hard drive, not the computer, which is what prompted me to perform the fresh install.
Have you come across any new information?

Can you open InDesign CS files into CS5?

Hi all,
My former company wishes to upgrade their ooooooooooold software to the latest version:) They currently have InDesign CS and want to make the leap to CS5. The question is...will it be possible to open their current CS files into CS5 once they make the switch? This is really important of course.
Thank you very much in advance for your help:)
Christine

Did you try https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?ref=sup&product=indesign?
Anyhow, if it fails, it should be the latter, or something else busted; Creative Suite Trial Versions says:
CS5.5 trials
Creative Suite 5.5 product trials will be available for download soon. Be notified when they are available.

I can't open InDesign 7.5 in OS 10.9.4.

I can't open InDesign 7.5 in OS 10.9.4. Are they incompatible?

It should be. What happens when you try?
Did you copy or migrate your InDesign files to a new computer? That won't work. You would need to remove all the CS files with the Adobe Cleaner tool, then reinstall from a clean installed copy.

InCopy CS5 can't open InDesign, InCopy CC can

I have CS5 to CC installed on my machine (MAC). Using indesign CS5 to create a layout then export all stories for inCopy. InCopy CS5 cannot open the indd. CC can... I can open the individual .icml files though. If I use InCopy CC, I can check in > edit > check out and save. InDesign CS5 will be able to re-open. A bit confuse now on why InCopy CS5 can't open InDesign files anymore. Event files created pre CC update. Attached are the errors I get when trying to open with InC CS5. Any insight would be appreciated! Thanks.

I know. That's why I don't understand. I really used CS5 to work with InCopy CS5. Even try older files that were saved prior to CC-CS6 update and I get the same error. Didn't have InCopy CS5. Install the demo version. Can it be the issue?

I have a problem since my installation of the Yosemite update on my Mac I can more open Indesign yet I have installed JavaForOSX2014-001 but it has changed nothing someone could help me?

Please do not post the same question multiple times. If someone can help you, they will, but you need to be patient -- we're all just volunteers, users like yourself. I'm going to delete your other posts.

Hello all.   Hope someone can help me. I recently downloaded some updates for my imac. Since doing this the computer starts up but I get no logon box. The home screen opens but I can't open any programs or files. I've tried rebooting, no joy. Help!!

Hello all..   I hope someone here can help. I recently downloaded some updates to my imac. Since then the computer starts but I get the home screen opening without the logon box.    I can't open any programs or files and if I click on the Safari tab it disappears from the dock. I've tried rebooting with no joy.
I contacted technical help at Apple and was told to hold down the ctrl and alt keys with two other keys, I think the S or P keys when powering up. This worked
and the computer seemed fine but now the problem has reappeared. Is there a way to removed downloaded updates from the computer or revert it to an earlier state?   Sorry for the long question. Hopefully one of you clever people can help.   Simon

Hay thank you for your time . I do that every time I know I am online. It says that I am up to date . I have found that I have 10.4.11 version, and that my boot version is 10.6.2, and that my kernel version is 8.11.1.
I have a hard drive icon on my desktop that says 10.6.2....
I use to have iphoto, it doesnt open anymore, it says there is 1.2gigs on that disk.There are many things on here that are the same way. Where do I start?
It's always good to go with one thing at a time and stay focused on that. Let's start with the OS you're running. Click on the Apple menu > About This Mac. What does it say under Mac OS X version ?

Sorry! Something went wrong - I can't open my icloud pages file anymore

I can't open my icloud pages file anymore. We are two collaborators working on it and she told me the file was freezing. I have said she can reload the file but it didn't work. Then it was my turn. I have tried from desktop but also from Ipad. The Pages app now crash when I want to open this same file. When I load my icloud page, I see the file, it is here, with the last layout, but can't open. I need to recover that document, it's important to me. Is there any assistance @apple to do so?
Many thanks!

I have exactly the same issue !! On "Pages", "Numbers", "Keynote"
- Macbook pro retina 13" late 2013
Icloud.com tested with Chrome, Opera, Safari, Iexplorer .. same problem
Try to reset "Documents and data" from Settings >>> "Could not reset Documents and Data ; there was a problem.."

I recently upgraded to a G5 and Logic Pro 8. My previous system was a Power Mac 7200 with Logic Platinum 3.5.3. I can not open the old song files unless they are first saved in Logic 6 or 7. Where do I get a dongle for Logic 7?

eBay or Craigslist would be the only choice.

I just purchased the new Canon SX60 camera. Despite downloading and installing the latest version of Adobe DNG converter, I receive an error message saying that Photoshop CS4 can't open up/convert raw files (.CR2). This is the same file format as used by the SX50, with which I never had any problem. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix this problem? Thanks.

Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras I do not see that SX60 as supported. Just how new is the SX60 when was it announces. Its support is not even listed in ACR 8.7 RC

You should be able to open the zipped file by double clicking on it.
