do i have do anything to remove this message.

Do you have your startup disk formatted as Case-Sensitive Journaled? Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility  – Bottom left corner should look like this.

  • "Cannot open resource file" when InDesign CS6 starts.

    I have an Intel Mac Pro running OS/X Snow Leopard.
    When I open InDesign CS6 I get an error "Cannot open resource file", but there is no indication of what file it can't open.
    When I click OK in the dialog box, InDesign opens and appears to be working.
    I am concerned that this may cause a problem as I continue to use it.
    Is there any way I can correct this issue?
    I also have InDesign CS5.5 installed on the same Mac and it runs fine with no resource error.

    I tried uninstalling InDesign, once I figured out how to do that with Creative Cloud that is (it's not an option in the Adobe Application Manager - which I think it should be).
    Anyway, after uninstalling and reinstalling, the error is still there.
    I also tried Peter's suggestion to remove the InDesign Defaults and InDesign SavedData and have them recreated but that didn't work either. I even tried the cmd-ctrl-opt-shift method to delete the preference files and still I get the "Cannot open resource file" error.
    I thought that it was just a glitch since if I click "OK" in the dialogue box InDesign seems to open fine and then even let me open up a document that I had been working on in InDesign CS5.5.
    But ....
    Even though the document opened fine, as soon as I click on a text field, any text field, InDesign crashes.
    I tried three different documents and it does the same thing.
    It didn't crash when I selected a graphic or an embedded pdf but it does as soon as I click on any text field.
    Does that help narrow down what the resource file error is?
    By the way, I can open InDesign CS5.5 just fine (same computer) with no resource file error and it does not crash when I select a text field, so the issue seems to be strictly with CS6.

  • "Cannot open resource file" message on Save in InDesign CS3

    Hi there,
    I'm running InDesign CS3 5.0.3 on a 2.4GHZ MacBook Pro with 2GB RAM and OS X 10.4.11.
    I'm finding that when I have a document open and hit Save, I get the message "Cannot open resource file". If I quit and reopen my changes do appear to have been saved.
    Googling around reveals little on this particular message, and I've tried what I've found (closing Scripting/Info windows) but it's still happening. There's also a suggestion of deleting the InDesign Saved Data file, but I can't find where that is. Is it a pre-CS3 thing?
    Any ideas?
    Cheers,
    /stephen

    Reposting because the "Forums have changed!" message popped up and obliterated my edit.
    Basically, I am cross-posting from this thread:
    Leox, "InDesign CS3 5.0.4 Changes to documents not being registered properly" #11, 17 Feb 2009 1:31 am
    Because some of my users with that problem ALSO report that they get the "Cannot open resource file" prior to saving (which ends up with a crash and no saved document).
    Thanks...

  • Cannot open resource file & missing character color option

    having 2 problems and unsure if they are related to each other or not.
    Running indesign cs6 v8.0.1 with no more updates showing in the Updater.
    When I open the program it gives me the error "cannot open resource file." this isnt too annoying as i just click ok and im on my way to work. however when i have a new paragraph style or character style, i have no option of choosing charater color. Shouldnt I have this option under "bullet and numbering?"
    this is the error upon opening i see

  • Error message "cannot open resource file" ID CS6

    CS6 InDesign, getting error message "cannot find resource file" Tried deleting prefs but didn't work.

    I'm sorry. I'm running OS 10.7.5 and had previous error messages about several plugins not loading due to color panel missing. Deleted prefs, added color panel back with Manage Extensions then got the "cannot open resource file" error. I know the error message above is different and I thought I had fixed it but somehow it didn't change when I updated my post. I also have a couple of old versions of CS on my computer and I don't know if I should uninstall those or if it doesn't matter. I don't know how to do that, either. I'm not very computer literate so every problem is difficult for me. Thank you.

  • CS4 "You cannot open the application Adobe InDesign CS4 because it is not supported on this archit

    Just installed CS4. Ai and Ps open fine. i get this prompt with InDesign.
    You cannot open the application Adobe InDesign CS4 because it is not supported on this architecture.
    any clues on how resolve this?
    thanks!

    I'm having exactly the same problem with InDesign from CS4 Design Standard (Photoshop and Illustrator both work), and I don't know what to do. I've called up the Adobe support line five times, and received five different answers, none of which have worked (and on three other occasions, my call was dropped, once after an hour on hold).
    One of the Adobe tech support people said to me "None of CS4 works with either 10.5.8 or Snow Leopard. We will issue a patch for that soon" - which directly contradicts what Adobe itself says on this site. I also went to see a Mac Genius, who couldn't help either.
    I have a 2GHz Macbook with 2GB RAM running 10.5.8. I've run the uninstall, and the Adobe Clean Script, I've repaired permissions on my drive (which isn't case sensitive), restarted, reinstalled, tried installing on an external drive and then tried downloading the trial, in case it's the install CD - nothing works. 
    Any suggestions, anyone? Might there be a problem with my library that is stopping the install? Something else?? I bought CS4 for InDesign primarily, this is not good.

  • Cannot open pmd files in InDesign CS

    I recently find I cannot open PM7 (pmd) files in InDesign CS. I used to be able to do this (they would open as Untitled), but now I just get an error message to the effect that InDesign cannot open this file, either because it does not support the file format, it is open in another application, or a plug-in for converting it is not installed. None of these things is true as far as I know. I can't place the pmd files into InDesign either, and I think I used to be able to do that too. I have tried repairing/reinstalling the Indesign program files but this makes no difference. Any suggestions would be welcome, otherwise I am going to have to use Pagemaker for new editions into the indefinite future!
    Many thanks,
    Tom Johnstone.

    That's very generous of you to offer to convert the files, Peter, many thanks, but I have a whole lot I need to do and I wouldn't want you to have to devote hours to it! Somebody else in the office here might be able to help with the immediate problem. I still have Pagemaker and if really necessary I can output the files for my new edition from Pagemaker. However I have many years of publications stored as pmd and p65 files and I was hoping when they came up for revision or new editions to be able to convert them to InDesign. If this is not possible because of Windows upgrades it will be a real pain in the neck, to put it politely!
    Tom.

  • Minimized files make it difficult to open other files in InDesign CS4

    When I minimize a file I 'm working on to the bottom of the screen in InDesign CS4 and try to open another file, the file I'm trying to open minimizes to the bottom also. It took many tries and a lot of frustration to realize I have to drag the minimized tab up to the left corner and drag the corners out to work on it. I get many interruptions during the day, and often like to minimize one project while I need to take care of a quick fix on another project. Is there a setting I'm missing that will correct this? I have not encountered this in previous versions of InDesign.

    Well...what do you know?
    All I can do is confirm the behavior. The new file isn't minimized but it is at the bottom of the screen.
    You might want to file a bug report.

  • Cannot open .p65 files in InDesign

    When I try to open .p65 files I ge the error "Cannot open file "...". Adobe Indesign may not support the fle format, a plugun that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application." I had no problem opening .p65 files on my other desktop. It simply opened, and converted them automatically. Please help. Thanks.

    I tested two p.65 files (one created on a Mac, another on a Windows machine) and one .pmd file (created on Windows PageMaker 7):
    all three opened without problems in InDesign CS3
    none opened in InDesign CC (same error message you mentioned)
    Unfortunately, I had recently uninstalled the ID CS6 version from my system; otherwise, I could've tested which behavior occurred in the previous version.

  • Why can I not open PDF-files in InDesign CS4?

    Hi,
    Well then, as I wrote in the headline... Why can I not open PDF-files?
    I get a notification that says that either the file is already open (which it's not) or it is missing a plug-in thingy for this kind of file.
    So, how do I know which plug-in thing I should chose from Adobe which will solve my problem?
    Could it be enough just to update the program? I tried with 6.0.6. upgrade but it wouldn't even open up. I'm not so good at this type of computerproblems (choosing upgrades, plug-in etc.). The program is not upgraded for a long time, unless it do it automatically, but I think we've chosen it not to....
    Please help!

  • Cannot open portfolio - File freezes indesign

    Well I have been working on my portfolio for a month now and was resizing something and the program crashed. Whenever I try to open it, InDesign immediately crashes again. I have tried copy/pasting it, renaming it, moving it, deleting the auto-recovery file and everything. The only thing I have been able to do is to open a new document and place uneditable images of the file. BUT - the page I was editing when it crashed won't place either, it crashes the computer just the same. So apparently its just that one page, and I know which one, but I have no way of cutting it out that I know of.
    Is there any way I can get this file open? I really really would like it back and I don't care if I have to delete that page to get it.

  • Cannot open cs6 files in cc

    Hello,
    I recently subscribed to CC after completeing a project on the trial version.  However since purchasing CC I have been unable to open any of the CS6 files I had downloaded (I could open them whilst on the trial period).  Yesterday I just kept receiving the error message " Cannot open the file **** 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"    Today I cannot even click to open any of the files, they are in a faded typeset in the documnents or downloads folders.   I can open any indesign files I have created from scratch though?  So it seems it is just the files originally created in CS6 that are affected.  I am working on a macbook, if that makes any difference.
    Many Thanks for your help.

    Hi Peter,
    Thanks for  your help.  I am working on the 9.2 version Willi.
    I am unable to open the downloaded cs6 files on their own, even from the file menu, as the error message appears, but today they are no longer in faded type in the folder, and I am able to click on them and drop into a new indesign file and resave. 
    So thank you for your help.
