Can't open older FCE files in FCE 4

I have FCE 4.
I bought the book "50 Fast FCE Techniques" and it comes with a cd containing FCE project files. The files must are from an older version (probably 3)and when I try to open them I get a message *"The file format of this project is from an earlie*r version. Would you like to update?"* I click on yes. Another message box appears saying *"This project contains one or more sequences which this version of FCE can render with Motion Tab quality. Please choose a scaling quality to use."* I choose Normal and click ok. Then the box with *"This project is unreadable or may be too new for this version of Final Cut."*
Is there a setting or a conversion program to enable me to use these files?

Sorry guys, but upon further testing I find that all of the projects on the cd do load, except for the first one I tried. I guess I jumped the gun.

Can't open older .m2v files (from DVD Studio 3) in DVD Studio 4.1.2

I am trying to rescuscitate an project created in DVD Studio 3, now running on DVD Studio 4.1.2. I can't open or import older .m2v files into the current project. I tried opening the files with Quicktime, and Compressor, but they are not recognized there either. Any ideas how to convert them or make the project accept them?

It sounds like gmail has serious problems with MIME data. That isn't something it should have trouble with. It has been solved for a long, long time now.
Even when I hit "View as text," it doesn't make any sense. I'll paste a copy below. Can someone please tell me what application to open up MIME files in?
Ordinarily, your e-mail program.
I have a program I used to sell years ago when people started sending MIME e-mail messages that AOL couldn't understand. Perhaps I should update it if all the world is switching to gmail and gmail doesn't handle MIME either. 1996 is here again.
Anyway, click here to download it.
Technically this is a shareware program and technically I could make money from it. But very few people need this program anymore and it should work just fine for you in "demo" mode.

Can't open older multisim files

Attached are two files. One is from MS7 and won’t open with the latest version any more to be able to view or update.
The other is more recent and when opening it looks OK but on closer inspection seems to have an issue with busses. For example the large chip DSP1 has at its top left corner a bus called Analog. If you try to make any more connections to the bus it won’t allow it as if it is not there and if you move the bus the bus moves but all the existing wires stay put as if they are no longer connected to the bus, even though they are/were.
I am not trying to move the bus I just want to add more connections but it won’t take any. Can you tell me why?

After updating os to 10.9.1can't open pdf files. I get a message saying It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn't recognise. I can still read older saved files but no new ones arriving by email. Any help would be appreciated.

After updating os to OSX 10.9.1 I can't open any new pdf files. I get a message saying It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognise. I can still read older saved files but no new ones arriving by email. Also can't attach a pdf to an email to send out. Any help would be appreciated.

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 PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer 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 (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.

I have Lightroom 3.6 and Camera Raw 6.6 but I can't open my CR2 files from my Canon eos 6D

Hi,
I have Lightroom 3.6 and Camera Raw 6.6 but I can't open my CR2 files from my Canon eos 6D
Lightroom doesn't show a thumbnail image and when trying to import it says the camera format isn't supported. But normaly Camera raw 6.6 should cover the Canon eos 6D
All help is welcome,
Thanks

No, the older versions are not free. If you upgrade you will have to get Lr5 unless you can still find Lr4 for sale somewhere as it has been discontinued by Adobe. You can also use the FREE DNG converter to convert the 6d files for use in Lr3.6.

Nikon D800 can't open all RAW-files ending .NEF

Got a Nikon D800 and can't open all RAW-files ending .NEF Most of them no problem, but some I just can't.
"Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model" Thats not wight cause I can open like 90% of my .NEF files :/
Got latest Camera Raw (6.7)..Help please:/

Because many of the camera makers slightly alter their versions of their raw format whenever they release a new camera model.
Nikon does it, Canon does it, and also several other camera makers.
There is not a single version of NEF that all Nikon cameras use, nor a single version of CR2 for all Canon models.
Here is a list of supported cameras and the required ACR plugin needed to open the raw files.
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Versions of ACR are specific to each version of Photoshop.
Older versions of PS cannot use the latest version of ACR.
You need to download the latest version of Adobe DNG Converter.
This will convert your newer D800 files to DNGs that can then be opened in older versions like CS5.
Be aware DNG only works on folders of files, not individual files. Select the FOLDER not a single file

I can't open the RAW files from my new Nikon D610 in PSE10. Any help for this?

I recently purchased a Nikon D610. I have PSE 10. I can't open my RAW files now and I always shoot in RAW. I've tried everything, but still can't open m,y files in the RAW format. Any help??????

Your most direct choices are:
1)      Use the free Adobe DNG Converter 8.3 to create Adobe-DNG raws from your Nikon D610 NEF raws. These DNGs will open in your older Elements Camera Raw plug-in. Be sure to set the ACR compatibly options in the DNGC to support whatever version of ACR you’re using.
2)      Buy PSE12, and first download the trial version to make sure your computer can run it properly.
Adobe only adds new camera support to whatever the current versions of their software, and PSE12 was the current version of Elements when the D610 support was added.   PSE10 won’t be updated.
Also be sure that you are NOT using the old Nikon Transfer or ViewNX with your new Nikon camera. These older versions of Nikon products change something in the metadata of new camera NEFs that makes them unrecognizable to Adobe software.

I can't open my Pages files.

The system keep asking my to upgrade Pages to the newsiest version but it IS the newest! What can I do?

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

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 a pdf file since updating to firefox 4.0. I have foxit reader installed and it worked before. Adobe is not compatible with Firefox. What do I need to do. I need to file my income tax online and can't because of this issue

Just can't open any pdf files. Having no luck trying to fix myself.

For Firefox users, there might be a built in pdf viewer, or a preferred viewer that handles pdf files.
I am not having any trouble logging in, so lets try this:
* Remove any cookies from the cache: [[Delete cookies to remove the information websites have stored on your computer]]
*[[Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings]] if there is stored user data that is removed in this process: [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]

Why i can't open my raw file in adobe photoshop cs6... and i use camera Canon 650D

why i can't open my raw file?

You probably need to update your Camera Raw plug-in for CS6 to something new enough to understand the 650D raw files.
The usual way you’d do this would be Help / Updates in PS.

I can only open 1 .Ai file at a time from explorer

Okay. Googling is getting me nowhere and posting this is a last resort.
computer is running:
Windows 7 x64 SP1
Creative Suite 5.5
Illustrator 5.1
The problem is:
From within Windows Explorer, I can only open 1 Illustrator file at a time. To get a different file to open, I either have to drag and drop the second file into the tabs under the menubar, or I need to quit Illustrator and re-open it. Also, I can not open additional files from Explorer one-at-a-time if one is already open.
Quirks:
If I go to File -> Open I can select multiple files from within the Open File dialogue window and they open just fine. but i can't do it from within windows explorer. This used to work and now it doesn't and I have no idea why. Can anyone help me out?
Seriously? 137 views and no replies? No one has run into this before?

This is a long shot but try going to Preferences/Type and uncheck "Show Font Names in English".
Quit illustrator and restart, does it work now?
The reason I´m suggesting this is that unless I have this box unchecked, some internal function in illustrator crashes after I´ve opened one document and I have to quit & restart if I wan´t to open another one. A rather silly bug and I stumpled upon the solution by accident after cursing illustrator for a couple of months...
