Can't open many new InDesign files in CS6

First, in case this is relevant, my company uses Google Drive as our cloud-based file system. My design team uses creative cloud and we're running into a problem with new InDesign (CS6) files being saved. That is, we can't open them, we get a dialog box saying that the file cannot be opened. At first this was just one or two files but now it is a large number of them. We discovered we CAN open them if we open them through InDesign "as a copy", and it will open without any problem. Obviously this isn't even close to ideal. Is Google Drive to blame? We used to have Dropbox and this never happened then, which is why I think it may have something to do with it.
Note that sometimes a file can be opened while three or four other ones can't be.
Thank you in advance!

Look for and delete .idlk files (for .indd files you know are not open). I know nothing about Google drive or how to tell it to let ID delete them itself when the .indd is closed.

  • I can open my new InDesign files by going up through the menu and opening that way, but when I try to just double click on an InDesign file I get error messages telling me that certain plugins aren't available.

    I upgraded my Mac a few weeks ago to 10.10.2 Yosemite, and I joined the Adobe cloud so I could get access to all the new apps. I read a blurb somewhere about converting older InDesign files to the new CC version I'd have to open the old files in my old InDesign CS3, export to an ins file, then open that file in the new InDesign CC, then export it again to an idml file, then open that file and you shouldn't have any of the usual conversion problems. For the first few files I had to convert, it worked just fine. Now for some reason, whenever I try to open one of these converted files just by double-clicking on the file itself, I get an error message that says, "The document ____ uses one or more plug-ins which are currently not available on your system. Do you want to open anyway?" When I click OK, then I get another error message that says, "Cannot open ____. Please upgrade your plug-ins to their latest versions, or upgrade to the latest version of Adobe InDesign." I thought this CC version of InDesign was the newest. Can somebody please tell me what gives with this? Any help will be very much appreciated.

    Did you reinstall CS3 after CC?
    For that matter, doing an in-place upgrade on the OS is always a gamble with Adobe programs. Reinstalling all the versions you need, in order, would probably solve your problem.
    And you shouldn't need to save as IDML after opening the .inx in CC.

  • Can't open PPT and InDesign files, receive this message

    Receiving this message:Powerpoint cannot open this type of file represented by Macintosh HD:users:....

    I think I understand what the issue is now. In the December 2009 issue of Macworld there was an article on page 22 called "Snow Leopard Switches the Double-Click." In that article it goes on to explain what I believe is the issue you are having and some solutions. Normally I would have sent you a link to the article so you could read it yourself however for some reason MW didn't tag this article so the only way I know you can get it is by getting your hands on a hard copy of that issue. You can try your local library and see if they subscribe, that would be a good shot or you can contact Macworld on how to order past issues.
    In short the article says there are some solutions:
    1. You could select one of the files then press Command I to open the Get Info window; in the Open With section, you could select a preferred application and click Change All.
    or
    2. You could Control-click a file in question, hold down the Option key, select Always Open With and choose an application from the list of alternatives.
    The article goes on to explain he wasn't pleased Apple made this change in SL so I would recommend you contact Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback/ and comment as well.

  • Can't open a video .mp4 file into CS6

    How do I load an .mp4 file into Photoshop CS6 from Bridge? I followed the video tutorial from Adobe - http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/new-video-features-photoshop-cs6.html - which says to load them into Photoshop as layers and I keep getting an error message in Photoshop that says I have to select 2 videos. So I selected 2 videos and still get the same error. I don't know what else to do.
    I've also tried from Bridge to select the .mp4 file then go to File > Open with > Photoshop CS6 and I get the following error - Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document.

    Sounds like you're trying to import the wrong file type.  You can't import MP4.
    Video import formats
    MPEG‑4
    MP4 is MPEG-4, which is on the import list you provided.
    It's a container format, so I expect whether Photoshop opens or rejects an MP4 will depend on the codec(s) of the contained media.
    MP4 containing H.264 video and AAC audio, probably the most commonly used codecs in MP4, certainly open in Photoshop CS6 and play for me.

  • Have installed maverick and now can't open any new pdf files from internet. I can open old ones

    I have just installed Maverick. When I use Safari and try and open a Pdf file from a webpage I get a black screen and tells me to download Adobe. I have reinstalled adobe reader but still don't get anywhere. I can open any pdf files I have previously stored or have in downloads or in documents. Any one any ideas what i need to do?

    Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
    Step 2
    There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
    Step 3
    If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and check the box marked
              Allow Plug-ins
    Then click
              Manage Website Settings...
    and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
    Step 4
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
    Step 5
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
    Step 6
    Do as in Step 4 with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

  • Can't open my camera raw files in CS6 - using Nikon D7100

    I checked for an update as the program suggested and am running Camera Raw 8.4 - also checked and the D7100 is supposed to be compatible with that!
    HELP!!

    Is 8.4 definitely installed OK?  (Help > About plug-in > Camera RAW)
    Actually, the D7100 only needs ACR 7.4
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Have you tried different NEF files?  Have these NEF files been processed in the app supplied with the camera by Nikon?  Can you test ACR by taking a RAW shot and opening it in ACR?
    I ask because we have seen quite a few instances of corrupt NEF files on this forum.

  • I can't save an old InDesign file to the new version

    I can't save an old InDesign file to the new version. I keep getting this message:
    I can only save the file as .IDML.

    This happens to ALL old InDesign files on my iMac (problem does not happen on my Macbook pro). I have saved the files as .idml and opened them again. I get the same error when I try to save the file as .indd. They can ONLY be saved as .idml.
    I never embed images and do not have font issues (file was created on the same iMac as it is being opened on now).
    Sometimes I get an error when I first try to open an old file - it ays the file is damaged and can't be opened. I try again right after and it opens fine.

    There are some keyboard commands (shortcuts) you can use instead of having to go to the Apple menu -
    Control-Eject          This brings up the Restart-Sleep-Cancel-Shutdown window.
    Command-Option-Eject          This puts the machine to sleep.

    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.

  • Every time I open a new illustrator file it says "print.ai" file unknown.  I can open previous work but no new files.  Any fixes?

    Every time I open a new illustrator file it says "print.ai" file unknown.  I can open previous work but no new files.  Any fixes?

    All nee AI files are based on document profiles, which are actually plain AI files.
    Print.ai is one of them. You may try and select a different profile to see if it's just the Print.ai
    But it may of course be all of them that somehow got corrupt.
    Could be that the files are corrupt or that Illustrator doesn't have access privileges.
    The files are located in your user folder. Find the exact location in this article:
    http://blogs.adobe.com/adobeillustrator/2009/05/startup_profiles_a_great_tool.html
    In case the files are completely corrupt you may try and rebuild the preferences or even do a complete reinstall.

    You cannot open Raw files from the Samsung NX300 in CS5.

    You need Adobe Camera Raw 7.4 or later which is only compatible with CS6 or later.
    Some choices:
    Upgrade to CS6
    Join the Cloud
    Join the CCPP
    Free option: download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all Raw files from the NX300 to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS5
