Cannot open an idml file created in CS5.5 in either CS5 or CS5.5

I have exported a CS5.5 file to idml but I cannot get it to open in either CS5 or CS5.5. Below is a screenshot of the error I get in both versions.
I have tried getting rid of all 3rd party plugins and resetting preferences to ID defaults in both CS versions but I always get this error. This testtest doc is a new file opened in CS5.5 with a text frame and a few words in 'Basic Paragraph' style and that is it. I checked for updates for both versions and there were none.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Janine

Could you please email the file to me?
Received.
I have seen this problem before. I do not know what causes it (I suspect a corrupt InDesign installation), but I do know how to fix it.
IDML files are .ZIP files containing XML.
Inside the IDML file there is a file called "designmap.xml". In your case, it starts (ok, line 2) like this:
<?aid style="50" type="pi_for_SaveBackINX" readerVersion="6.0" featureSet="257" product="7.5(142)" ?>
But typically it would look like this:
<?aid style="50" type="document" readerVersion="6.0" featureSet="257" product="7.5(142)" ?>
The difference is sufficient to cause it to not be properly parsed.
So, to fix this problem, you can rename the .IDML file to .ZIP, unzip it, edit the designmap.xml changing pi_for_SaveBackINX to document, re-zip it, and rename it back to IDML. (Make sure not to change the directory structure when you do this.)
Edit: Oops, forgot to include the evidentiary screenshot:

How to open a idml file created by CS6 in CS5?

I created a file in InDesign CS6 and saved as idml file yesterday.
But today I can not open either in CS6 or CS5 version.
It says
"Cannot open the file "Project #3.idml". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application."
Is there anyother way could open this file?

I chose from the drop-down list.
Maybe not.
Anyway, thank you very much!

Cannot Open a PDF File Created in Acrobat 9.0

My associates cannot open a PDF that I have created from Word 2007 using Acrobat 9.0 if I save the PDF to our network. They can open the PDF if I email the file to them as an attachment. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

It may depend on how you transfer the PDF to the network. Saving to a network seems to have mixed results with Acrobat and always has. Try saving locally and copying to the network drive. If you are transferring the file with FTP, be sure that you use binary file transfer.

Souji,
Not sure but issue may be related to OS or dot net. Can you try to open the same file in any other machine which has B2B Doc Editor installed? You may also search on Google for "Simple methods to deal with Not Enough Room In Buffer To errors"

Cannot open old DV files Created in older versions of PP

I started a project on one machine using CS3. I captured all of the footage using CS3. The footage was regular DV footage captured direct from a DV camcorder, no special codecs or anything. Three are not even any effects of any kind on any clip. its all simply captured footage and thats all.
I move the capture hard-drive to my CS4 machine and try to open the project in CS4 on the other machine and CS4 crashes (after converting to a CS4 project) . I open the CS3 project in CS3 on this new machine and all is well. Everything is fine and a save as a new name.
Again, I try to open in CS4 and it crashes (after converting to a CS4 project). So I start CS4 again and this time I try to start a new project. So far so good until I try to import a clip that was captured using CS3. Crashes again.
Next, I open CS4 and start a new project and import both a .psd and a .mov file successfully. Then, I open an old .avi DV clip from some other project back in CS1 days. It too bombs off CS4.
Next, I export from the CS4 project the timeline with the .psd and .mov clip as a DV avi file using media encoder. Then I import the resulting file back into CS4 and CS4 again crashes. So it won't even import its own footage created in CS4!
Any ideas what is happening to me? This is the first project that I have used CS4 for other than some slide shows with still graphics.

i Who is asking here? Weren't you the one with a question and were you not the one asking for help?
Harm, yes I was asking for help and you have yet to offer any, have you? Please show me one post where you were offering any help. Your first post was obviously designed to be nasty and I have been trying to defend myself ever since.
I am sorry that you did not grasp the importance of trying to export from CS4 to see if CS4 can read its own files. (This is not my normal work-flow, although sometimes I do do this to avoid rendering an entire clip with effects that is adjoined to another clip with a transition.) But if you cannot understand why I did that after unsuccessfully trying to import CS3 dv avi footage and cs1 DV footage, I cannot possible explain it to you without a conversation with you.
If you do not have the capabilities to understand my rational for this type of problem solving and you have nothing to add but "buy a PC", please just refrain from posting on my threads. That is all that I ask. If you don't want to or cannot help, then don't post. If you think that I am an idiot and feel that it is necessary to tell me, don;t. I might not be the sharpest hatchet in the woodshed, but I do not need you to tell me this. Haven't we been to this dance before?
i Why would you want to export with AME to import again? How did you export with AME without importing first? That makes no sense. What happens when you use a more common work-flow, import the AVI into a project?
All of these questions were answered in the very first post.
i On this forum you are dependent on fellow editors to spend their time and effort to help you. If you need help, do give the relevant information. There have been a number of posts on what info is required to help us help you.
I agree, I thought that I had given the relevant information. Honestly, I forgot that the forums had been combined for Mac/Win. I erroneously assumed that this was just a windows only forum. If there is a standardized form that include all of the specs that are required for editors to help, I'd be happy to fill it out and post it in the first post of any thread that I start. Until someone takes this initiate to design a standardized form, I do not think that its too much to ask for people to ask if they think that it might be relevant or simply not post on threads where users do not provide your minimum level of information.
But I also believe that people who do decide to post should be required to attempt to be helpful. I do not believe that a post that ends with the statement that one should have purchased a PC qualifies in any way as trying to being helpful evn if it were understandable that that I was using a MAC.
Do we need to continue this? If so, I think that we are going to have to exchange phone numbers so this does not go on forever.

I was instructed to press some key during startup of Photoshop, and it should reset the program.

IDML file created in CS5.5 misbehaving in CS5

A client supplied an IDML file created in CS5.5 which I opened it in CS5. I created a paragraph style, applied it and the font colour was different than the one I had specified. Just to be sure, I checked all the specs. I applied the default basic para style to clear the problem and re-applyed my style but that didn't sort out the problem. This is only one of the issues I've run into recently with IDML files. Does anyone have other stories? What did you do to fix it (short of upgrading to CS 5.5 - LOL!)?

thanks, good suggestion - no alias. As well, I originated the para style so need to check with client.
update: I dug a bit deeper and discovered <blush> the problem was as simple as character styles overriding my paragraph styles. Yes, I am a trained professional. LOL
However.... I have found IDML files created in CS5.5 glitchy - really, I have.

Opening an idml file in indesign cs5

I'm trying to open an idml file in cs5 on a mac. I can't upgrade to cs5.5 without upgrading everything else.
When I open the file, I'm not able to see the "high res display" images or the preview images. Am I missing plugins? or what?
Can anyone tell me how to get this to work?
Thanks.

Do you have the links? .idml doesn't store previews, so they need to be regenerated, and that can only be done if ID can locate the links.

IMAQ Create for compressed .avi - cannot open the new file afterwards with IMAQ Open

Hi there,
i hope i'm in the right board.
I recently tried to compress avi-files i collected from various cameras throughout the last years.
At first i used VDub and ffdshow with a FFVH codec - it worked fine as long as i won't try to open the compressed avi using IMAQ Open.
I googled a bit and read a lot in these forums, tried several solutions - none of them worked.
So i gave it a last, let's call it fail-proof, try:
I took the original .avi (uncompressed, openable with IMAQ Open) and used my newly gained knowledge to use LV for the compression work, i chose from IMAQ AVI Get Filter Names the ffdshow Video Codec and built a small read-write for-loop to convert the AVI frame for frame.
All worked fine despite the problem, that i still cannot open the compressed file in IMAQ Open - and i do not know why.
I would be glad to force labview to decode and open the compressed file with a certain codec, but i found no option for this.
Thanks in advance
Markus
P.S.
I'm using LabView 2010 and VAS of 02/2014.

Cannot open QB 2007 file after installing R7 upgrade

I installed the Quickbooks Pro 2007 "upgrade" and then tried to open my old Quickbooks Pro 2007 for Mac company file.
1.) It asks me if I want to Upgrade the file (no choice)
2.) Then it simultaneously says "Working" and gives me a warning about the file not being able to be renamed and that I have to rename it and save it in the QB folder.
3.) Then - whatever name I give it - it says it could not create the upgraded file.
4.) It also says that it could not open the existing file.
I'm not sure what to do - the file is only 4.7MB and I've tried every combination to get it to open.
Is there some trick? Nothing about this on the Intuit Forum. Nothing on Google either.
Help would be greatly appreciated as I cannot open my business file!

I guess what is happening is that I originally installed quickbooks and the company file on my macMini and I suspect that it is not opening it on my iMac because of a sharing violation.
I did unlock both the application and the files but they still won't open.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Mac Word 2008 - hyperlink message "Word cannot open the specified file"

I'm using WordMac 2008 version 12.2.5 and after following detailed instructions on how to hyperlink chapters in a Table of Contents to their respective chapters in a book, I can only get the message "Word cannot open the specified file".
Any ideas what could be wrong?
My OSX is 10.5.1.
The instructions I followed are pasted below and are copied from the Smashwords Style Guide: http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/52
START OF PASTE FROM SMASHWORDS STYLE GUIDE:
How to create a linked Table of Contents. Consider this feature in “beta.” My
thanks to Smashwords author Cheryl Anne Gardner for sharing these tips below,
which I have augmented based on my own experience adding a ToC to the Style
Guide (woo hoo!).
By adding a linked table of contents, you can help readers navigate your
document. This is especially useful for non-fiction. Most fiction doesn’t
need it. If you follow the instructions below, the ToC should work in your
EPUB, MOBI and PDF files, but it will not work in our other formats.
First, create your table of contents where you want it by typing it out. Make
sure the text is normalized just like the rest of your Smashwords’ Word
document. Example:
Contents
Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Chapter 3
Chapter 4
Etc.
Next, we are going to create the BookMarks. In Word 2000, 2003 and 2007, the
Booksmark function is under the Insert tab. Go through your document, and at
each Chapter Start or Indexed item, you will highlight it and then select
Insert: bookmark. Name your bookmark corresponding to the Chapter/Indexed
item and then click add. It’s very important to use the first word of your
heading you’re linking to, because later on, when you add the hyperlinks,
Word displays the bookmark shortcuts in alphabetical order. With many
bookmarks, I found many of my bookmarks weren’t labeled properly, so it was
tough to link to the correct bookmark. If you want to link to a chapter named
How to Publish Ebooks, I’d recommend naming your bookmark
“HowToPublishEbooks” to make it easy to locate. If you instead name it,
“publishebooks,” you’ll frazzle your brain and make mistakes.
Repeat the process above for every Chapter Start as well as for other matter
in the book like index, bibliography, epilogue, prologue, etc. I didn’t link
to every section in the Style Guide, because otherwise the ToC would have
been three pages long. This is your call.
Next, return to your table of contents and highlight the word “Contents.”
Click insert, bookmark, and label this last bookmark “Contents”. Formatting
note: Bookmarks cannot have spaces or odd characters. If instead of
“Contents” you called the label in the document Table of Contents, as I did,
then when you insert the bookmark, name the bookmark “TableofContents,” one
word, or “toc.”
Next, add the hyperlinks to your Chapter Starts. In your table of contents,
if Chapter 1 is called Chapter 1, then highlight Chapter 1 and then click
insert Hyperlink. As you can see in the Style Guide, I tried to use more
descriptive labels. In Word’s Hyperlink menu on the left hand side, select
“Place in this document.” You will now see your bookmarks listed in the main
window. Select Chapter1 bookmark (or whatever you labeled it) and then click
ok. Do this procedure for every chapter and piece of matter in the table of
contents.
Final step. Now you can link back to the Table of contents. Move through your
document to each indexed item or Chapter start and highlight it. Then click
insert, hyperlink, and then select “Place in this document.” When the
bookmarks are showing in the main window, select the bookmark labeled
“Contents,” assuming that’s what you named your Table of Contents. Do this
for each and every chapter and or indexed item.
After you are done, all your links will be underlined. You will need to test
and make sure you linked everything properly. In most Word versions, you just
click on the hyperlink to test. In Word 2007, you may need to Ctrl-Click each
hyperlink and make sure it takes you where you need to go in the document.
Advice: Word has an automatic ToC generation feature under the reference tab.
Do not use this. It uses automated headings and formatting to generate the
ToC and this will un-normalize your text and cause font conversion issues in
your Smashwords files.
END OF PASTE FROM SMASHWORDS STYLE GUIDE.
I did all that as described but I still get the message "Word cannot open the specified file".
Could you help please?

This question would be better addressed to...

I think the operative phrase from that article is...

Error 0(Native: listNetInterfaces:[3]) and error while loading shared libraries: libpthread.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Hi Gurus,
I'm trying to upgrade my test 9.2.0.8 rac to 10.1 rac. I cannot upgrade to 10.2 because of RAM limitations on my test RAC. 10.1 Clusterware software was successfully installed and the daemons are up with OCR and voting disk created. Then during the installation of RAC software at the end, root.sh needs to be run. When I run root.sh, it gave the error: while loading shared libraries: libpthread.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. I have libpthread.so.0 in /lib. I looked up on metalink and found Doc ID: 414163.1 . I unset the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL in vipca (unsetting of LD_ASSUME_KERNEL was not required in srvctl because there was no LD_ASSUME_KERNEL in srvctl). Then I tried to run vipca manually. I receive the following error: Error 0(Native: listNetInterfaces:[3]). I'm able to see xclock and xeyes. So its not a problem with x.

should ping on sunny1vip and sunny2vip be already working? As of now they dont work.
if you look at oifcfg getif, I initially had eth1 10.0.0.0 global cluster_interconnect,eth0 192.168.2.0 global public then I created eth1 10.1.1.0 global cluster_interconnect with setif. Should it be 10.1.1.0 or 10.0.0.0. I looked at the subnet calculator and it says for 10.1.1.1, 10.0.0.0 is the subnet. In metalink they had used 10.10.10.0 and hence I used 10.1.1.0
Any ideas on resolving this issue would be very much appreciated. I had been searching on oracle forums, google, metalink but all of them refer to DOC Id 414163.1 but it does n't seem to work. Please help. Thanks in advance.

My questions to the gurus are as follows:

srvctl status nodeapps -n sunny1pub(same result for sunny2pub)
VIP is not running on node: sunny1pub

Will crs_stat and srvctl status nodeapps -n sunny1pub work after I upgrade my database or should they be working now already? I just choose to install 10.1.0.3 software and after running root.sh on both nodes, I clicked ok and then the End of installation screen appeared. Under installed products, I see 9i home, 10g home, crs home. Under 10g home and crs home, I see cluster nodes(sunny1pub and sunny2pub) So it looks like the 10g software is installed.

I just downloaded the trial version of Photoshop CS6. And cannot open adobe eps files ?

I have installed Photoshop CS6 and cannot open adobe eps files? any Ideas

Hi there
When you say that you can't open eps files, are you getting an error message?
Photoshop CS6 has the ability to open both .eps and .ai files. However, opening by going to File > Open... will rasterize the image - meaning that it is no long a vector so you can't scale it up and down without losing quality. To open an .eps or .ai file in Photoshop and maintain its vector capabilities, try the following:
Create a new canvas in Photoshop. Then, go to File > Place...
After selecting your file from the Place dialog box, your image will be placed into your canvas. Resize accordingly, and then hit Enter on your keyboard.
The image you just placed is a Smart Object, meaning that it has retained its vector capabilities and can be resized without losing image quality. If you ever need to rasterized this image, just right click on the layer and select Rasterize Layer.
If you are still having trouble, please post here again so that we can provide additional assistance.
Cheers!
