Cannot open indd file in CS5.5? "Please upgrade your plugins to the latest version or upgrade..."

I refer to a similar forum post here - http://forums.adobe.com/message/4081971 - which outlines a similar problem with opening a file.
The difference is the file I can no longer open was created using Adobe indd CS5.5 and I am opening it with Adobe indd CS5.5. I have never had this issue previously. The only change is to a new OS on Mac - Version 10.8.2. Error message says "Cannot open "File name" please upgrade your plugins to the latest version or update to the latest version of Adobe" - I know there is CS6 but why should I now need to upgrade suddenly?
Can anyone help here? I can forward a link to the file in question if needs be.
Cheers,
Catie

@Catie – did you verify, if your InDesign file is saved in version CS5.5?
You could do so by using a ExtendScript (Adobe's version of JavaScript) written by Jongware.

If the problem is due to a corruption of plug-in version information, I fear you have no chance other than:
1. Update CS5.5 to the latest bug-fix version => 7.5.3
2. Download a trial version of InDesign CS6, open and export the file to IDML and re-open it in InDesign CS5.5 (though this might not work for a corrupted file)
3. Try to open the file on a different machine
Are there 3rd party plug-ins involved? If so contact their makers…

  • Opening .indd files in CS5 that were created in a newer version

    I need to open .indd files in InDesign CS5.  Apparently those files were created in a newer version of InDesign, to which I do NOT have access in order to create legacy (IDML) versions of those files.  What is the "fix" for this issue?

    I'm trying to create my organization's newsletter from .indd files that the previous editor created in a "free trial version" without also saving them as .idml files.  Now that version is expired and I'm not even sure what version it was, though I suspect it may have been CS6.  I was able to open an .idml file from another author that had been created in CS5.5 as I had access to all the links and fonts in the zipped folder.
    So what you are telling me is that these files are useless to me unless I upgrade my InDesign version?  I don't have that kind of a "budget".

  • Upgraded to Yosemite now I cannot open PSD files on illustrator. Please help

    I recently upgraded to Yosemite on my Mac and now when I open Illustrator I cannot open psd files. The error message I get when I open illustrator is "Error Loading Plugins. PhotoshopImport.aip"
    Is there a fix for this? I cannot afford to upgrade my CS4 at this time.
    Thanks.
    M

    Thanks Larry - the issue is that I need to keep all of the layers (there are a lot of them) and when I save as pdf it flattens the image. Is there no way to be able to open PSD files now that I upgraded to Yosemite?
    Thanks again.

  • Cannot open doc perviously saved with pages v5.0. Message states need latest version which I have!

    Having created a new document using latest Pages ,v 5.0 (downloaded when I upgraded from Mountain Lion to OSX Mavericks) and saved it, when I try to open it, I get a message, " You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." The strange thing is that all my other previous docs created using iWorks , Pages, version 09, open successfully when I double click on them, although they now contain the "improvements" introduced by the upgrade to latest version of Pages. Can anyone suggest why new docs cannot open when created recently with the latest version.

    Pages 5.0 is indeed the latest version, but are you sure you're using Pages 5.0 to open the document?
    The Pages icon should look like this:
    If it doesn't, you're actually using an older version of Pages to open the document.  This is quite possible, because the Pages update didn't always place the new icon in your dock.
    If the new icon is not in your dock, find it in your Applications folder and drag it there.  You can drag the old one off your dock as well.

  • When I download a Numbers file from iCloud to my Mac, it isn't the latest version.

    Today I worked on a Numbers file on my iPad 2 from 4:40 pm to 6:30 pm. A few hours later, when I tried to download the file from iCloud to my Mac, none of today's changes appeared. When I looked at it again on the iPad, on the main Numbers page where you choose the file you want, it showed a time of 4:43 pm associated with the file. However, when I opened it, the two hours of work was still there even though the time was off. I tried sending the file as an email and when I opened the email attachment on my Mac, all of today's changes were there. So the new changes are captured when emailing a file but not when downloading it.
    It almost seems as if the file hasn't made it off the iPad and into iCloud, but I can't find any information on ways to force that or know if it's been done.

    Two possible problems. <br />
    1. BlackBoard never supports the latest version of Firefox, for a few reasons. Some schools don't run the latest version of BlackBoard Vista or Campus Edition. Also, BlackBoard upgrades seem to be tied to the "school year" cycle, the changes they make to improve and update their software seem to be rolled out for the fall term so that changes aren't being made during the normal "school year" and possibly causing problems for the schools. That also may be a function of their contract / payment cycles with the schools that use their programs.
    http://www2.blackboard.com/tuneup/viewpage?name=tuneup_browser_tuneup_windows_firefox <br />
    Select the link for the version of WebCT Vista or Campus Edition ''(version info is usually at the bottom of each page, in the footer)'' that your school is using, then see which version of Firefox is compatible.
    Depending upon which version of WebCT your school is using, you will have to use Firefox 3.6.x, Firefox 3.5.x, or Firefox 3.0.x when accessing the Blackboard site.
    My advice is to install the Firefox Portable version that you need for Blackboard on your computer, and use that installation only for Blackboard. Continue to use 4.0.1 for all other web browsing. <br />
    http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable/localization#legacy
    2. Firefox uses a Plugin ( you have Office Plugin for Netscape Navigator installed) to open files that aren't "internet files", like word processing documents. <br />
    I can't help you directly with Office, as I use Open Office, but there should be a preference for that Plugin within your Office preferences or options under something like Internet, to have those files '''Display documents in browser'''. <br />
    Or see this to make sure you have your "file type" set correctly. <br />

  • Quicktime for Windows -- on Vista -- opens a .mov movie once, then won't open the move and Quicktime won't even open itself.  I've installed the latest version, and upgraded it to Plus as well.

    I am having trouble opening .mov videos with Quicktime on my PC with Vista.  I installed the latest version of Quicktime for Windows (V.7.7), and upgraded it to Pro.  It will open a .mov file once, then after that it will not open any .mov file and in fact, when I try to open the Quicktime player it will not open itself.  If I switch users to Admin, it all works fine, but when I go back to my regular role (where all of my preferences and programs are there for me to use), the same thing happens.  An .mov file will open once, then never again, and the Quicktime player seems to be disabled.
    I've tried different .mov files, so it's not a corrupt file that's the problem.  And, in the past (a couple of Quicktime versions ago, I guess), all of this worked just fine.
    Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated!

    I have the exact same problem. They play on my Mac under Snow Leopard. Transfer to Vista gets a window with black and white and some other noise. No sound either.

  • HT4972 No matter which of your confusing directions I try to follow, I am unable to upgrade my iTunes to the latest version which "must be done" prior to upgrading my iPad 2 to IOS 5.  PLEASE HELP!!

    Please help me to upgrade latest iTunes version so then I can upgrade to iOS 5 or 6. I have an iPad 2. Thank you.

    You need to update iTunes on your computer (not the iPad) to the latest version in order to then update the iPad to iOS 5.1.1 (iOS 6 isn't released until the Autumn) - you can check if you are up-to-date (which will prompt you to update if you aren't) via, on a PC, 'Help > Check For Updates', and on a Mac 'iTunes > Check For Updates'
    When you have that installed, connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases (you may also want to copy photos off the iPad as well) and then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'. You may also want to copy off the iPad any important documents, notes, files etc e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case.
    You can then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button.

     I'm not some sort of expert but i had the same problem so i see what i can do for you.
    I was using windows 7 and firefox when doing the update thingy btw
    Update using BlackBerry Link
    Make sure you have the latest version of BlackBerry Link installed.
    Connect your BlackBerry 10 device. Once it's recognized by BlackBerry Link, click the gear icon to access the settings page.
    From here you should see the option to reload device software. Click the button to start the process. Your device may reboot a time or two in between.
    If any new software is found, you'll see a prompt and can begin the installation. As above, make sure you backed up your device first and you have some time to kill as the update will take a while.

  • Is the presence of 3 separate Mozilla programs (3.5.8, 3.6.13, and 4.0b8 (x86 en-US)) in my Control Panel-Programs and Features a source of constant crashes of Firefox; updates have left these 3 files so do I need them all to use the latest version?

    I am trying to remove unnecessary programs which are using up space on my computer. Each of these listings contains around 30MB each, so I was wondering if the oldest 2 could be deleted without compromising the functionality of the latest version installed. Each time I'd update, one of these 'new programs' would pop up in my list of programs... I seem to have numerous crashes, which the crash reporter supposed submits but I never get any feedback for, so I was wondering if this was the issue?

    If you need to consider removing 30MB folders to create space then I imagine your hdd is seriously short of space. Normally I think it is often suggested a minimum of 20-25% free space be left on a Windows machine hdd. How much free space % wise have you at present.
    You probably have already thought of these, a lack of space could slow things down and may even contribute to crash problems.
    *Not using the Hibernate feature will release one largish chunk.
    *Not keeping video files on the HDD unnecessarily is also likely to save space.

  • Could I download a disguised virus in a fake Firefox update? Ever since the last upgrade none of my .exe files will run. The version number of the upgrade was lower than the latest version. My computer is in real trouble!

    I deleted the "upgraded" version and tried to reload the latest version from Firefox website. I could download it but could not run it. Computer asks for an application to run the file with, and there is none. Also, all of my system applications now no longer respond.

    That does sound suspicious. You may want to run some supplemental scans. These two tools are highly regarded:
    Malwarebytes Anti-malware : http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
    SUPERAntiSpyware : http://www.superantispyware.com/
    If your system is clean of malware, you could completely remove all versions of Firefox and install again.
    First, I strongly recommend backing up your Firefox settings for future recovery. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Get the latest installer from http://www.mozilla.com/

  • Cannot open indd file in either CS5 or CS5.5

    I downloaded CS5.5 on my laptop this afternoon. I then opened a CS5 file, worked on it, then saved. Now I cannot open the file in either CS5 or CS5.5. Is says InDEsign may not support the file format, the file is missing, or it is opened in anaother application. Does anyone know how I can open this file?

    Just to be clear:
    It won't open in either version. I created the file in CS5 (school computer lab), worked on it in CS5.5 (on my personal laptop connected through the server), then tried to open it on a school coputer using CS5. The file will not open.
    Once you edit a CS5 file in CS5.5, it becomes a CS5.5 file and you will not be able to open it in CS5.
    Make sure you are running the version you think you are, and don't double-click the file, but actually use File > Open from within InDesign CS5.5.
