Can't open old files in CS5 since upgrading to OS X 10.9 Mavericks

Since I upgraded to OS X, I can open all my CS5 programs and create new files. However, I can't open files I created (even a week ago on CS5) since I upgraded to Mavricks. I googled it and I tried updating my Adobe drive and I updated Java, but I still can't open any file I created before downloading mavericks. In Indesign, I get an error message "Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing or the file may be opened by another application" and In Illustrator I just get the spinning wheel of death...
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks!

Talk to Apple support about updating your permissions - that may be it.

  • Can't open WMV files in Quicktime since Snow Lep upgrade.....

    I Can't open WMV files in Quicktime since Snow Leopard upgrade
    I get an error message saying 'Quicktime player must be installed to run this application'
    This is happening on both of my macs
    Any help appreciated

    I had this problem. Double clicking the WMV file produced the message you had. However, if I open by dragging the WMV file onto the QuickTime X icon in the dock it did indeed open.
    I then looked at the WMV's Get Info window and found that it was set to open in WMV Player by default. Obviously I do not have WMV Player installed. The drop down menu on this setting did have QT Player as the other option. When I changed the option to QT Player as default the "Change All" button became active. Previously it had been greyed out. Things have been OK since, but I have not tried it on any new WMV files.

  • Can't open old files in Pages. Don't want to upgrade. Help please

    I am happy with my old Pages program ... some files I created on the old Pages open fine, as normal. However, some files I created on the
    old Pages (created in Dec. 2013) will not open. I get a pop up from Apple saying that I have to upgrade.
    I would be delighted to upgrade and pay the $20 but I read horrible reviews about the new Pages upgrade. So I would like to stick with my old
    Pages but how can I open these files that are closed to me unless I purchase the new upgrade. Inexplicably, I can open some files that I created this month on the old pages. But some will not open.
    Is there a trick to opening these Pages files ?
    Or should I go ahead and get the new download and take a chance. I only mix text with photos ... no footnotes.
    Please help.  Many thanks ..

    Hi Jerry ... you were absolutely correct ... I must have downloaded the new version since I found Pages-Applications in Spotlight. Then I dragged it from Application to the dock where it now sits next to my old Pages. I tried to open up my file but still could not. How can I export it back to Word 09 (my old Pages) if I cannot open it. And this file will not open now, even when I have my new Pages in the dock. Or should I just give up on opening this file.
    Also, I think I prefer the old Pages (Word 09) ... how can I make sure that I am creating documents in this program. I assume that I can keep it and continue to work with that. I guess the only way to prevent this from happening again is to check if I am using the old Pages before I start a document ?? 
    Many thanks again, Don

  • ERRORS Muse not menus working, JSON, can't open old files

    Using 2014.4CC
    I built out a site, went to save an upload to BC.
    Midway thru upload, got a JSON error .. see screenshot below. It exited, reopened the file and happened again.
    Renamed the folder at ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Adobe Muse CC to force a refresh of prefs ... Muse would open, but no menus, can't open pages, exit, etc ...
    So I uninstalled Muse using the uninstaller in Apps folder, cleared the folders in ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Adobe Muse CC
    Reinstalled Muse from CC app ... opens, can create a new site, but open any old ones, the menus still don't work.
    How do i get a fresh install and open my older files again?

    All menus grayed out ... can't edit old files, can only create a new one ....
    What folders do i purge and install Muse? This all started with a JSON error above ... using late Muse app 2014.2

  • Can't open powerpoint files in keynote since Mountain Lion upgrade

    Not having much luck and not sure which forum to post in as this could be a Mountain Lion issue, an iWork issue, but is also an iWork and/or IOS6 issue!
    Until last week I had Lion on iMac and IOS5 on iPad. I was able to log on to my work network server (school network, I am a teacher) and open powerpoint, word or excel files in keynote, pages or numbers on my iPad. I then upgraded to IOS6 and now none of the files will open up on my iPad. I get the open in screen when I choose a file to open, then nothing happens.
    In the meantime, I upgraded my iMac from Lion to Mountain Lion. Since I was having problems accessing my work files and viewing them on my iPad, I decided to buy Keynote on my iMac in the hope that I could get on with some work on iMac rather than iPad. I logged on to my school server and tried to open a powerpoint file and for some reason it downloads it as a pptx.exe and if I try to open it I get an error message saying "You can't open the application xxx.pptx.exe because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OSX". It shouldn't be a .exe file it should just be a powerpoint file! When I open Keynote and look for available files on my iMac, the file I just downloaded is greyed out.
    Hmmmmm so I have an iMac, an iPad, two versions of the Keynote app (plus numbers and pages on the ipad) and can't open any of my files from my school network. That seems a lot of money in one pot Apple and something has changed from Lion to Mountain Lion, and from IOS5 to IOS6 which is preventing me from doing my work. IOS5 allowed me to open any ppt, xls, doc, pptx, xlsx, docx file from my school network so why since upgrading to IOS6 can I suddenly not open them??
    Now having forked out for Keynote on my iMac, I have the same problem.
    I am able to open attachments in emails and I am able to log on to the school VLE and access and open files. So it is just something to do with opening from the normal file system that I can't do.
    I posted in the iPad and iWork forum and had no replies. However, Apple iWork team have contacted me after reading my post re the iPad issue of opening files from my network. I've provided info to them and am waiting for a response, but in the meantime I have now discovered there is also an issue on my iMac. Hopefully they will read this too or someone else will perhaps know what is going on.
    It is a worry that I can't do any work using my Apple products seeing as I have bought them! I have had to go back to bringing my windows laptop home everyday which I hope is a short term solution. I have loved the fact that I could access everything on my school network from my iPad in the past and not have to drag a laptop around. I am also worried that this means pupils can't access the files too if they are using Macs, iphones, ipads etc and have upgraded to Mountain Lion or IOS6.
    Hoping someone can help
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks for the response but I think you've misunderstood the problem. I can not open any type of PowerPoint file off my server in keynote. This includes .ppt and .pptx files. (Also includes .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx in pages and numbers).
    Even if what you said worked it would take forever to go through every file and save them all as ppt 2007. Plus of course, I don't know what files I will need when. There are hundreds of resources I need to access when I'm at home. I need the flexibility to view the files when i need to and on the go. Normally I can download them off my school network on to my iPad in keynote and edit them then I email them back to myself ready to use the next day or to save back to my network. Currently I can not download any Microsoft office file. So I am now forced to have to lug my laptop home everyday, rendering my iPad and iMac useless. I can't pre-empt what I'll need and save it as .ppt as that is completely inflexible and that won't open anyways as this is not an issue with the version of PowerPoint file. This is an issue with how all Microsoft files are downloading from my school network to my iPad and iMac. I want Apple to allow this to work like it used to before the upgrades in operating systems. I wish I hadn't upgraded as it worked perfectly. :(

  • Can't open CR2 files in CS5, updates fail

    I have some CR2 files I need to edit.  I have CS5.  When I try opening the files I get the following message "Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw.  Please visit the Camera Raw help documentation for additional information." 
    After looking online for some time, I read that updating my adobe applications should allow me to open these CR2 files.
    I go to the adobe application manager and it lists I need updates for bridge cs5, photoshop cs5, and photoshop camera raw.  I click the update button, watch the progress bar go from 0-100% in about a minute as if everything is just peachy, and the this pops up-
    "the following updates were unable to install.  If you wish to install these updates, please fix the problems below and retry:
    Adobe bridge cs5 4.0.5 update, there was an error downloading this update.  Please quit and try again later.
    Photoshop Camera Raw 6.7 Update
    There was an error downloading this update.  Please quit and try again later."
    I've "tried again later" several times over the last month, and get the same thing each time.
    When I click the "contact customer support" link it takes me to a page that says-
    Error "This serial number is not for a qualifying product..." when installing an upgrade or upsell
    All I want to do is edit these files.  I am happy with CS5, and not interested in paying a monthly fee to upgrade, just so I can open these files.  Help Please?!

    I had this issue today trying to reinstall CS5 on a new laptop.   After many hours and trying to get chat support, i read a forum post that suggested installing each update manually from the adobe website.  I tried and it was successful for me........
    Product updates
    good luck!

  • Can't open raw files in cs5.  When I try to download updates I keep getting download errors ?  I have a canon 5D mark 111 ?

    I am currently running CS5, on windows.  I can't open any raw format files in photoshop (I took some photos with a canon 5D mark 111).  I went to updates tab to try to update cs5, but I keep getting download errors and am unable to update.  Any ideas on how to fix this ?  Trying to edit some wedding photo's I took.

    If this is a Photoshop question please post in the Photoshop forum.

  • Can't open CR2 files in CS5

    What do I need to download to pen Canon CR2 files in CS5?

    without know what camera you're using, I would say that you need to download the Adobe DNG converter 8.8 is the current one. That will create dng files that can be opened in CS5.

  • Can not open raw files in CS5

    Hi
    I cannot open my raw files in CS5. I have a canon 40d and I am on a computer that runs Windows XP. I have no problems with my CS3 wich also runs on my PC. Can any one help?

    Trying to use DNG is the wrong approach.  Photoshop Camera Raw should be able to open your 40D raw files directly.  Having to go through two conversions would be a huge monkey wrench in the works.
    Some questions:
    Do you have anything programmed for your Additional Plug-Ins Folder in Edit - Preferences - Plug-Ins?
    Can you open a Canon .cr2 raw file in Photoshop CS5 by choosing File - Open As..., selecting Camera Raw (...) from the bottom, then choosing your file and pressing [Open]?
    Is there anything special about your camera?  Has the firmware been modified?

  • Can't open jp2 files in CS5

    Hi,
    every time I try opening a .jp2 file, I see only a semi-transparent grey layer. How do I fix this?
    I'm running CS5.5 on 10.6.8 the video card is a 6970M with 2 GB and the system has 16 GB RAM.

    You might be right about the creator application. If i open the same file converted into something readable for photoshop and save it as jpeg 2000 in photoshop, the file can be opened afterwards.
    The "creator application" is the mac's built-in image capture I use to scan documents.

  • Office for Mac 2011 - can't open old files

    I am currently on Mac OS X v10.6.8.  I recently installed Office for Mac 2011.  I cannot open some of my old files.  I think the ones that use the old file names, e.g. .doc and .xls, rather than .docx and .xlsx.
    Can anyone explain how I can open these files in my Office for Mac 2011?
    Many thanks!

    The free LibreOffice will open them, and it's the most cross platform office program (Linux, OS X and Windows versions)

  • Can't open CS3 files in CS5

    Hi guys
    New laptop, newly purchased CS5.  I can't open Illustrator CS3 files - all I get is a message saying "An unknown problem has occured"...
    InDesign CS5 is fine opening InDesign CS3 files though.  I'm running Lion by the way...
    Anyone else got the same problem, and possibly a solution?
    Thanks

    CS3 files open in CS5 so that should not be an issue.
    If you have Acrobat pro, try using the open command on the .ai file, so we know if the pdf compatible part of the file has useful infomration for you, you could then do a save as using high qulaity settings and open, the .pdf in illustrator.
    You may have a corrupt font or image on your system. Disconnect to the images, by putting them all in a folder so the link is temporarily broken. In regards to fonts, turn off any extra fonts, disable font auto activation, and delete any .LST files if you are on a mac.
    On the mac if the filename has a "/"  the file will not open. But don't think hat is your problem as you would nto get the error you mentioned. But check your filename for illegal charcters noentheless.

  • Can no longer open Word files in finder since upgrading to Mavericks

    When I click on Word files on my desktop of in a folder, the Word progrm laucnhes but file will not open.  I can only open them through the Application.  Any solutions to this?  This seems to be across th board microsoft office issue.  In Office 2008, so do I need an upgrade or patch?

    There, I fixed it for you.
    I haven't used Word 2008 in quite a while.
    If Word launches, but doesn't open the file, it is something in Word that is not processing the open request from the Finder.
    You might try resetting the LauchServices database with this command in Terminal:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain user
    Can you explain more about not being able to add Word to the Dock or Sidebar?
    It may be a corrupt Dock plist or databse causing that. I don't think it would affect Word opening documents, though.
    I haven't figured out how to reset the Dock and the Sidebar in Mavericks. The way I used to know doesn't seem to work.
