cannot open indesign or indesign docs in mac w mavericks. all docs made with same indesign that is installed in the mac.

Did you try to install CS5 on a new computer by copying or using migration? That won't work with Adobe applications.
You'll probably have to start by cleaning off the Adobe Creative Suite with the Adobe Cleaner Tool here:
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
Then download a clean install copy of CS5 here (unless you have the original discs you used to install):

Cannot open InDesign CS4

I cannot open InDesign CS4 all it does it show errors and then closes. These are the errors I get.

If you have the serial number with you then you can download the trial version of ID CS4 from Prodesigntools website: http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html. If you had a CS4 Suite then download the appropriate suite and if you had point product i.e. just InDesign then download from the links available for ID CS4 only. You have to be on the trial page of Adobe.com to be able to download from the links. Replace the http://www.prodesigntools.com/ with http://trials2.adobe.com/ <rest of the link here>.

I cannot open iCloud documents on my MAC I went to preferences etc and it did not give me access. My error says I need an updated version of numbers but I have the latest version

Mac OSX 10.4
Processor 3.06
Numbers 2.3 (554)
I cannot open iCloud documents on my MAC I went to preferences etc and it did not give me access. My error says I need an updated version of numbers but I have the latest version

You cannot access iCloud on a Mac running Mac OSX 10.4. Are you sure, the system version is correct?
If you are running iWork '09 (iWork 09 9.0.1) on your Mac with Numbers 2.3, you must at least have MacOS X 10.5.6 installed.
if you want iCloud support for iOS apps, you need the iWork 9.3 update,see: About the iWork 9.3 Update
And this update requires OS X Lion v10.7.4
Is your iMac compatible with Lion or later?

Cannot open PDF attachments on my Mac; I have to copy PDF address an open it on Safari instead.

I cannot open PDF attachment on my Mac. One might think it is just slow, but the attachment never comes up. I have to copy the PDF address and paste it into Safari or Explorer, which have no trouble opening the very PDF that Firefox would not handle. I am guessing that I have some setting that is barring PDFs; other attachments open fine. My adobe is up to date, I think; if that was the problem Safari, too, would not be able to open the PDF.

There is a plugin that you can use, for details see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Opening+PDF+files+within+Firefox

If you have Office does Excell or Power Point open? If they do you can perhaps check for updates with either of them: Help > Check for Updates. You can also try to reinstall Office with your installation disks. Don't delete Office, just try to install it again.

I have my photos iPhoto but my iPhoto library is empty. when clicked message reads could not be opened image capture cannot open files in the photo library format. How do I get my photos back into my library?

I have my photos in iPhoto but my iPhoto library is empty.When clicked message reads could not be opened image capture cannot open files in the photo library format. How do I get my photos back into my library?

When what is clicked?
There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

Cannot open InDesign files on Mac that were saved on PC

I subscribe to Create Suite and have it installed on both my Mac and PC. So, they should both be the most current version, right? All updates are current.
A few (not all) InDesign files that were created/saved on a PC will not open up on my Mac. I get this message:
Cannot open [file name] because it was saved with a newer version of Adobe InDesign CC (10.0).
You must use that version or later to open the file. To then enable it to be opened in these version, choose Save As InDesign CS4 or later, or export to IDML.
"Save As InDesign CS4" actually has IDML in parenthesis, so it's all one option. When I bring the file over to my mac, it doesn't open properly (for example all the images are gone).
Could it be possible that there is a newer version of InDesign only for my PC and my Mac can't open those files? Seems ridiculous.

You would have no problem opening a file in version 10.0 if it was saved in 10.1, just as you would have no problem opening any other version dot release file in ay dot release of that version.
The problem here is the PC was updated to CC2014 and the Mac was not.
The OP also mentioned missing pictures when using IDML. IDML removes the previews, but you would need the linked images in any case for output, regardless of whether you use .indd or IDML to move the file.

Cannot open InDesign CS4 file...

A friend of mine called me to say they had an IDCS4 file that they had been working on for a while importing loads of jpg and Word docs and eventually it got 37mb but today the ID document wouldn't open with the "cannot open" error message.
I tried opening it on my Mac with no luck in CS4 nor in CS3. My only assistance for her was to covert an older PDF in PDF2ID which was a solution in a way but not perfect.
Is there anything that can be done to fix corrupted ID files?
David

Hi Robin,
Thanks for your reply.
The file won't open at all. The error message pops up saying "Cannot open IDH PM Induction.indd".
This is not a very enlightening message as it doesn't offer any solution to what to do next not even a suggestion to contact Adobe.
I've tried opening the IDCS4 file on 3 Macs with the same message on each computer.
My friend has a copy of the file but it's a duplicate of the damaged and that won't open either :-(
My conversion with PDF2ID has helped but the PDF wasn't bang up to date so there will be some more work to redo but at least it's not a complete restart.
Looks as if there has been lesson learnt here even if it's the fact that a file can become corrupted at any stage and so saving multiple copies along the way is the answer. Maybe if Time Machine had been installed we could have gone back to a working version. My curiosity is how the file might have become damaged. It's a shame ID doesn't offer a way of hacking into damaged files to at least get something out it.

I cannot open InDesign files after upgrading to CS6.

Error message is "Cannot open the file *.indd. Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug in that support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application" Can anyone help!

That message means exactly what it says, more or less. The three possibilities are it isn't an InDesign file at all (we see that here a lot), there is a .idlk lock file in the same folder (delete it), or the file has been damaged (frequently happens with flash drives).
If you open the file in a plain text editor like NotePad or TextEdit (it will look like gibberish) and paste the first few lines here we may be able to tell you if the file is damaged or not an InDesign file.
