Cannot import files that I just saved on photoshop

This is the situation I encounter very often: I get a graphic from a client, I open it on photoshop, resize it, crop it, check transparency and so on, then I save it as a .psd file to work on it on Premiere
When I open Premiere and select the import function I can see the folder and I can see the file I just saved but Premiere doesn't let me select it to import it. The file shows up on the screen as transparent as if its not possible to select it
I am attaching a screen shot below to illustrate what Im saying, this is the little screen that shows up when I select import from Premiere. The file I just saved on photoshop in this case is "gmc logo 3" and as you can see its not on full black color but on light gray, and it doesn't let me select it for import
Now the very weird thing is that to solve this situation I have to go outside Premiere, open the FINDER and find the folder and the file in question, I then select the same file Premiere didn't let me select and then drag it from the outside window into the Premiere timeline, and Premiere DOES take it, it plays well, it works, everything is good but 5 seconds prior Premiere didn't want to read it using the import function
Ive been working like this since I got my system but as you can imagine is very annoying. It doesn't do it all the time but 50% of the time it does, I haven't been able to see which specific format it does it with, I think it does it more with .psd files but Im not 100% sure its only with .psd files
Just wanted to know if anybody else has encountered this same situation, maybe its something simpler than I imagine. I have a Premiere CC installed on the new Mac Pro
Thanks!

Mark you actually solved the situation I think, and no I hadnt notice that the file in question was the only one without an extension.
It seems that when I select SAVE AS on photoshop I select the entire original name file (including the extension) and I write the new name (erasing the original extension) so the file doesnt have an extension and when I select import on Premiere then it doesnt let me select it because of that.
As I mentioend on my original post it was simpler than I imagine, thank you!!

Cannot open file from Bridge after saving in Photoshop CS3

I was working on three images in Photoshop CS3, when I went to open them from Bridge for review, two of three files were reduced to tiny white squares with a dogear in the top right corner, a little blue bounding box containing three tinier red green and blue somethings so small I couldn't even see what they were with my jewellery spec.
Nothing happened when I clicked on them, no error message, nothing. I managed to get one of them in 'reveal' - which opened up a larger blue bounded box with the red button containing a cross with the message 'cannot open as not right kind of file'.
What to do please? I don't want to spend hours on an image and hope it will open afterwards. Thankyou.

Thankyou for taking the time to respond. I did notice that I'd forgotten to place a . after the file name and before the extension - ie soiphotopsd, instead of soiphoto.psd, and renamed them and the opened as psds. I would have thought that Photohop CS3 with all it's bells and whistles could have provided a helpful popup/error message to this effect when saving images though!
I still have an old file I haven't been able to open, the icon of which is simply a small blue and white box with the letters pmg on the bottom. I tried to rename the file same as, but nothing seemed to work so far. Will just keep plugin away - forgive the pun.
Thanks again.

I cannot re-open files that have been saved in Numbers version09 - it states "You need a newer version of numbers to open this document". This is the latest version

I cannot re-open files that have been saved in Numbers version09 - it states "You need a newer version of numbers to open this document". This is the latest version & also the one I have created/saved???

Jules,
You may delete Numbers 08 if you wish, but some folks like keeping it around. Close all your Numbers docs and Quit the Numbers app, and the other Numbers app if necessary.Then click the Numbers icon on your doc. Then select Numbers > About Numbers, and in the window that pops up, see which version it is. If the Dock icon started Numbers 08, you can cure that by dragging that icon off the Dock and letting it go in a puff of virtual smoke.
Now, to put the Numbers 09 icon on the Dock, double-click one of those known Numbers 09 documents so that Numbers 09 starts up. Verify by checkig Numbers > about Numbers.
Now click and hold the Numbers Dock icon and select the Option for Keep in Dock.

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (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 (command-V) into the text box that opens, then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
If you still have the issue, repeat 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 again.

Why can't I open a FCE project file that I have saved? (It now says ZERO kb

Hello...
I have just started working on a project in Final Cut Express - I render, save, and close out of FCE - but, when I go back to FCE, the project I was working on does not open.
Why can't I open a project file that I have saved?
Here was my process in a nutshell:
~ When I opened FCE, I went the System Preferences and set the Scratch Disks to a folder on my external hard drive.
~Then, I went to File - New Project - worked on the project for a while (including creating bins, importing images and video, and creating a sequence.
~I saved the project file to the same folder that I set my Scratch Disks to.
as often throughout this process.)
~When I was done, I saved again andd closed FCE.
~Then, soon after, I opened FCE again and my project did not open automatically.
~So, I clicked File - Open Recent - browsed to and chose the project file name and FCE gave me a "Unable to open file" message.
~When I check to see if the project file actually saved to my external hard drive, the name appears, but it says the file size is ZERO kb.
I have done this twice with the same unfortunate result. What am I doing wrong? I have worked on FCE on this same computer before, setting the Scratch Disks the same way, and I did not have this problem.
Please help. Thank you so much for your feedback.
...Rae

Are you sure you are trying to open the project file you actually saved ?
Try using Spotlight to search for your project file name. I might be wrong, but I guess you try to open an empty copy while your real project file (what you saved) is somewhere else in either your startup disk (Documents folder ?) or the external drive. If so do not use Open Recent in FCE but simply double click the "real" project file.

Help--Cannot Import Files!

I cannot import files into Final Cut Express HD 3.5. I have downloaded the latest updates and am on OS 10.4.9, but the problem started before the OS upgrade, so that isn't the problem.
My Macbook is about 2 weeks old, and the program worked when I first got it. But then it started to give me this message:
I installed the latest FCE Updates, but nothing seems to help. The only solution I have found is to create a seperate user account for video editing. I don't know why that works, but it's a pain. I don't like having to log out to work on a video.
The files are just JPGs, and I even imported these same pictures before. Video files do not work either.
I have searched and haven't found anything.
Help would be appreciated.

Have you tried deleting the preferences files in the account that doesn't work, as in Final Cut Express 2: How to Delete the Preference Files?
Make sure you delete all 3 files: just adapt names to your version of FCE.

I am in the middle of a job using CS 6, but at the same time opening the Creative Suite apps. I created an InDesign file in CS 6, saved it, and now I can't open it. I'm getting this message: Cannot open file because it was saved with a newer version of Adobe InDesign CC (10.1). You must use that version or later to open the file." AARRGGHH! So how do I access the file?

Sounds like you opened and saved it in CC, so now you need to go back to CC and either complete the project there, or export to IDML to take it back into CS6.

How do I open a pdf book cover file using Acrobat XI into Indesign CC? Everytime I try, it says I am trying to open a file that has been saved wrong.

PDF files cannot be natively opened in InDesign. They can only be placed as graphics.

I am not able to open a PDF file that I just created. I get an access denied message instead.

Thanks for asking.
I was combining different types of files into a single PDF. Some of them were excel spreadsheets and I had set the print areas in each file. When I cleared the print area the problem stopped. So I am assuming that had something to do with it. Though I am not sure.
The strange thing was that I was able to open the excel source documents after creating the faulty PDF but some of the MS word source documents also had "access denied" status. I still cannot figure that part out.

Use Migration Assistant on your new Mac:
Click Continue:
On the next screen, choose your Time Machine backup disk.
Don't bother to migrate Applications unless you know they will work on your new Mac. For example, PowerPC applications won't work. Just migrate your user account which will copy all your photos, music, movies, and other documents.
Note: you will not be able to migrate the information to same account in which you are already logged in. Migration Assistant will tell you that and recommend what to do. It can migrate the information to a new account, but you will have to give it a name you might want to change later. One way around this is to create a temporary account, log in to it, and run Migration Assistant which will replace your normal account. Then, log out of the temporary account, log in to your usual one, verify everyting works as you expect, and delete the temporary one.
All this can be avoided when you set up a brand new Mac by running Setup Assistant which essentially does the same thing to create your new account, but most people are too excited to do that and elect to migrate later.

What is the easiest way to get the data from the mailmerge to form Pages files that can be saved separately?

Using Iwork 09 I have spent several hours setting up a mail merge from a spread sheet in Numbers to create receipts for my customers from a Pages template.
After the merge I am left with one long Pages document that will not save as separate files; one per customer, it will only save the whole document of several receipts.
What is the easiest way to get the data from the mailmerge to form Pages files that can be saved separately?
Many thanks in advance.

Mr. Clark,
You will probably be more pleased with the iWork apps when you begin to learn your way around. Until you learn such basic things as how to print only one page of a document, you will probably continue to be disappointed.
Does your Print dialog look like this:
Or like this:
If it looks like the first one, then you will want to click this expander control:

Why does Dreamweaver upload a blank page when i "put" a .php or .html file that I just edited. It's

Why does Dreamweaver upload a blank page when i "put" a .php or .html file that I just edited. It's like Dreamweaver isn't putting the complete file. So when i check my work (refresh the page), it is now blank. This happens about 50 percent of the time and can occur with any of the websites I maintain. (If I pull out my macbookpro, i can edit and upload the page, but the screen is smaller and i would rather be at my desktop). I am using CS5 on a MacPro, operating system 10.7.5.

I've never heard of that type of error before. If it were happening to me, here are a few things I would do...
Verify it's DW
     Download Filezilla (free and very nice in reality) and make sure it uploads correctly from there to rule out connection issues
Rebuild Site Cache
     From the Files window of your site, click the menu and go to Site > Recreate Site Cache
Delete DW File Cache
     If the above does nothing, I'd kill my DW Cache File: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/494811
Uninstall, clean, reinstall
     Uninstall the program, use the cleaner tool here: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html to kill everything (Adobe leaves behind things that are picked up again in a normal uninstall/reinstall) then reinstall it.
