Cant open a file made with older aftereffects

i just downloaded this file from the internet it is a aftereffects template. i downloaded the aep file and tried opening with AE cs6. it said that it cant open cuz its made with a old version of AE. I am pretty sure that it should have backwards compatibility, i mean i would understand if CS4 cant open CS6 file. but if CS6 cant open CS4 file that's weird, and i am really confused.

Are you sure the file is CS4 and not AE4. CS6, according to the documentation CS6 can open AE7 and newer files.
The file could also be corrupted.

  • HT202879 How can I open a file made with old version of Pages (before 09)?

    I need to open a file made with old version of Pages (before 09).  How can I do this?  I only have iworks Pages free with Mac Book Pro.

    You need either Pages '09 or the original Pages '08? programs.
    With Pages '09 you simply open it and it accurate converts it to Pages '09. Pages 5 will open the Pages '09 version but may alter/damage the file.
    With Pages '08 you Export it to Word .doc/.docx with mixed results, then open that in Pages 5 which may alter/damage the file.

  • Is there a way to open/edit files made with Microsoft Publisher on my new Mac?

    I recently upgraded to a Mac from a Dell and I have documents that I made with Microsoft Word and Publisher that I still need to be able to use with my Mac but I can't figure out how to open them with it. Is there a program that I need to download?

    Word documents from your PC will open directly in Word for the Mac. If you have the ability to save your Publisher documents from the PC in PDF format, they can be converted from PDF to Word format and emailed back to you by this web site, free of charge:
    http://www.pdftoword.com/
    Note that not all features of the resulting Word files will be as completely editable as they were in Publisher, but they should look pretty much the same and open easily on the Mac.

  • My iPhoto libraries have been made with older vs. and cannot open them with iPhoto application or Library Manager

    I have multiple iPhoto libraries made with older vs. of iPhoto.  I cannot open any now with either iPhoto or iPhoto Manager, just get a spinning icon.

    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.  

  • Can I open psd file made in photoshop cs3 with photoshop ps2?

    Can I open psd file made in photoshop cs3 with photoshop ps2? Thanks in advance!

    Actually you can open a CS3 file with smart filters in CS2
    the only problem is CS2 will not understand the Smart filter and flatten it.
    If you leave the smart filtered object alone in CS2 save the file and it should still be a smart filtered object in CS3

  • I can't open a 32-bit HDR file made with Photoshop HDR in Lightroom.

    I can't open a 32-bit HDR file made with Photoshop HDR. I saved the file in Photoshop with the maximum compatibility-option on. In Lightroom the file doesn't show a preview and an exclamation mark in the upper right corner. Anybody an idea why and how to solve this problem?

    As I said, the files must be saved in TIFF format in order for LR to recognize them.
    Here's a video tutorial I've recorded explaining the workflow: Tonemap 32 bit images in Lightroom 5

  • Still cant open embedded files with Adobe Reader 10.0.1

    Hi!
    In the first version of Adobe Reader X you had to disable the Protection Mode in order to open PDF-files on a network drive or that are embedded in a i.e Word document.
    I have now upgraded my version to 10.0.1.
    The first issue seems to be solved (open files on a network drive). But I still cant open PDF files embedded in another file??
    I get the error message: The Program used to create this object is AcroExch. That program is either not installed on your computer or it is not responding. To edit this object, install AcroExch or ensure that any dialog boxes in AcroExch are closed.
    And if I try to embedd a PDF-file myself into a document I get the same result.
    As soon as I turn of the Protection Mode it works...
    Is there a way to keep the PM on and still be able to open documents???
    Regards Daniel

    I'm not sure why Adobe hasn't looked into this.  One description elsewhere in the forum seems to suggest that if the computer has had older versions of the reader installed, it will work -- somehow the embedded file needs an older registry key.  I have yet to try installing older versions of reader onto my machine.  This machine has only had reader 10 installed on it.
    I tried the recommendation that is given in another thread.  Turn off running reader in protected mode.  The first time I did it, it didn't work.  The second time I unchecked the "use in protected mode" box, I closed and then reopened reader.  Now I can open embedded pdfs in word.

  • Cant open ANY file with Pages 3.0.2 (iWork'08)

    I cant open any file, not even a blank document. When I try to start a new document, I get the message:"The template “Blank.template” could not be opened."  This happens with ALL templates (obviously the name of the template changes to that being tried to open).
    Interesting enough is that Pages do not crash, as the menu bar on top is available.
    Trying to open an existing document doesn't work also, as after selecting it and clicking OK, the browsing window closes but the file does not open.
    This only happens with my account (administrator level). I've tried deleting the "com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist" file from MyAccount/library/preferences (moving it to Trash) but still the same.
    Please HELP   My operating system is 10.5.6
    Regards
    Arturo Trevino

    In your own account, the unique preferences file directly related to Pages is:
    <startupVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.iWork.Pages.pl ist
    There is no reason to remove any other one.
    But, before removing it, go to the Preferences menu item to check which is defined as the default template in your own preferences.
    I am tired so I will switch off soon.
    I will be back to-morrow.

    Subject: cant open xmp files in photoshop element 8
    An xmp file is not an image. Usually those are the files containing the settings used for raw conversion, any metadata keywords, and other data that PS/PSE can't write to the files themselves. If those really are all the files on your disc, contact the photographer, because it sounds like someone made a mistake.

  • Cant open .xib file in xcode solve...

    cant open .xib file in xcode??
    here to go to find its solution with video tutorial..

    thanks

    Apropos Rick's messages, the IB error you reported is most often caused by an installation or version problem. This often happens when a new SDK is installed over an older SDK, and is often fixed by removing as much of the previous SDK as possible before re-installing the new one. If you search on the text of your error message in this forum and/or Google, you'll find lots of advice on how to clean your system before installing a new SDK.
    Here's another link you should look at: [http://lists.apple.com/archives/Xcode-users/2009/Jan/msg00084.html].
    I'm also wondering what book you have. You said your book was titled "Beginning ipod development". I can't find that title on the net, so you probably didn't type the exact title. However if that is indeed to title of your book, it might be too old. So if the book came with a CD, you could have some xib files that are too old for your SDK.
    If the above doesn't apply to you, then take Rick's suggestion and get the latest SDK from the iPhone Dev Center. Then you'll need to clean your system to get rid of the previous SDK. Do this even if the previous SDK is the same one you just downloaded, because that's the best way to fix a bad installation. You should also consult the other posts on this subject that discuss permission problems. For example I think you could get IB to fail by installing as one user and then opening IB as another user.
    In any case, if you re-install, there's one step you must never omit: Rename your /Developer folder (e.g. to /OldDev).
    Hope that helps!

  • How come pages won't open PDF files made by Pages?

    How come pages won't open PDF files made by Pages?
    I have files I made with Pages and exported as PDF but I can't open them with pages to edit?
    Also, where are the recent files created by pages located? Can't find those to open either..

    Hi Tom,
    I was delighted when I signed up for Pages. Clunky yes, but it worked. I've been a graphic designer on a Mac for 25 plus years and have logged too many horror stories of "upgrade" wars which cost me massive lost time, data and money forcibly extracted just so I could finish a project.
    When I first used Pages in April of 2012? or there about, I was able to open Word documents exported to .pdf format, emailed to me, which I then dragged into Pages. I could make the changes I needed to make, export as a .pdf, return it back to my client which they could then edit on whatever it was they were using. I'm not a neophyte with this. I've had Original Photoshop as a stand alone, Quark (which locked users out 6 months after I purchased it.) Quark again, Freehand, Pagemaker, Illustrator, Photoshop again, Creative Suite for several upgrades, Acrobat Pro. 2 years ago I lost 6 years of Quicken data and had to and "upgrade" start over. This last go around I  had to "upgrade" my Apple ID - yes I had 2 on purpose, lost my Pandora One and my ability to get into the Tulsa County Library website.
    At this point, I'm retired and feel like what I've paid for in the past should WORK today. I have a 100+ page cookbook in Quark which I was able to export as a .pdf, that I've lost the tags too, Easier to start over. I have artwork that is hundreds of megs in Photoshop. Not the least bit interested in anybody's "cloud".
    Thanks for letting me vent. I'm determined to keep my equipment and software up to date so I can enjoy the skills I've acquired, but I completely cringe at Apple's antics. I truly hate it when I have to respond to some new "tip" or product offer. BooHiss. Happy Turkey Day. Pages is a "turkey" program.
    Best regards, mbd

  • Can't open DNG files created with Mac CS5 downloader in Mac CS4 Photoshop

    I recently installed CS5 on my mac but I kept CS4 installed as well.  I notice that I cannot open DNG files created with CS5 in Photoshop CS4.  Bridge CS4 shows the files only as icons - no image thumbnails.  I am able to open these same files on a Windows version of CS4.  Is there some plugin for my mac CS4 that will enable me to access the DNG files created with CS5?  Is there a way to use my CS5 downloader when converting my raw files from my camera to DNG files that will make them compatiple with PS and Bridge CS4?

    Well, yes...but you'll need to modify your DNG Converter prefs to allow for that. You''ll need a recent (ideally current DNG Converter 6.4.1 or above) and click on the DNG Converter preferences and select the correct DNG Converter options. Check DNG Converter 6.4.1 (the current version) and click on "Change Preferences" to be sure select Camera Raw 5.4 and later then make sure CS4 is updated to ACR 5.7 (which is the last version of ACR for CS4) However, the changes made to ACR 6.x really should be adopted since IQ for ACR 6.4.x is a lot better...

  • Sony NEW RX10 & iPhoto Cant open RAW files

    Hey Guys, I know that not ALL RAW files are equal! I just picked up a NEW SONY RX10 and its shooting RAW files in Sony's ARW format.. I see that the NEW a7's are updated in OSX updates, Im assuming that the a7's and the New RX10 are the same ARW format, but I cant open these files in Preview and Iphoto wont see them either! Im using OSX 10.8.5 (ML) and Iphoto 11 (9.4.3) (720.91) Is anyone else having this issue with a RX10 or newer Sony camera with ARW files... Please reply! I really would like to shoot in RAW and use iPhoto to edit! I guess not ALL SONY .ARW are equal????

    Im assuming that the a7's and the New RX10 are the same ARW format,
    There you go - that is an incorrect assumption (as most assumptions are - as you know when you assume you make an ***ume out of ***ume & assume) - every RAW format for every camera is different and requires specific support for tha tcamera - notice in the support list that many different cameras in the same family are listed seperatly
    Usually Apple releases Sony RAW support pretty quickly since Sony is a major manfactuer of consumer and professional cameras
    Tell Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback
    The Sony software that came with the camera may help (although my experiance is that Sony has poor to non-existance support for Macs) and possible the Adobe RAW converter can help until Apple releases the required update
    And it is very possible that the update will only apply to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5.x so it is possible that you will have to upgrade your OS and iPhoto (both free) - when you do be sure to backup first
    The current Mavericks list is at http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5955
