File-opening glitch in CS5.5

After installing CS5.5 (Design Premium), attempting to open an InDesign file (double-click, drag icon over icon, or from File Menu) causes ID CS5.5 to freeze up, the file does not open, and a Force Quit is necessary. This only happens when ID is already up and running, but has been idle for 20 minutes or more. Opening a file is successful if done within 10-15 minutes of the last activity, and also successful when the program is not running. CS4 is still installed and does not have this problem. Very weird. Any ideas out there? I've already trashed preferences. Running MacPro 2.66 Quad-Core on OS X 10.6.8.

Thanks for the reply. No third-party plugins, unless Suitcase Fusion 3 counts (version 14.1.1 (302)).
It does indeed count, and has been the source of several people's problems!!
I was expeting you to post the pastebin URLs. Looks like they're http://pastebin.com/i8SSK5us and http://pastebin.com/yzd8Am6A.
It looks like InDesign was totally idle at the time you took those reports -- maybe I wasn't clear. Did you wait for it to freeze before collecting the data?

Will an Indesign CC file open in indesign CS5?

Will an Indesign CC file open in indesign CS5? if not what must I do to be able to open it in CS5?

No. Export it to IDML and don't expect it to be an exact match.

Cannot save any file opened in Photoshop CS5

Hi all, looking for some help...
I've got a 27-inch Imac running:
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.1
Processor: 2.8 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory: 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics: ATI Radeon HD 5750 1024 MB
Storage: 1TB HD with 920 BG free
The problem is (thus far) exclusively with Photoshop CS5. I have the latest patch installed (12.0.4). No matter what file I open in Photoshop, I can't save. When I try to save, I get the following error:
This error occurs regardless of file type chosen, whether I 'save' or save-as' and both if I start a new file or if I try to alter an existing file. I have run disk permissions and disk repair on my mac with no luck thus far. I have googled this issue, and found lots of discussions with a similar issue involving the Photoshop preferences file. So, I deleted my preferences file and started over, no luck there. I have gone through and manually checked for locked files—the files are not locked. I have tried saving in as many locations as I can think of, still no luck.
This is a legit, updated copy of Photoshop CS5 on a relatively new computer with ample space... and it worked yesterday afternoon! I am wondering if uninstalling and re-installing Photoshop is the answer, but I thought I'd try here first.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Lindsay
PS: I have read this thread: "Could not save because write access was not granted." Unfortunately it doesn't help me, because I can't save-as either, and I am not working off a server.

Thanks Zeno -- you are the first person ever to answer my question "how big" with a precise amount.
I have never actually heard of an "exabyte" before and am blown away by its size of a billion gigabytes... there are a number of other interesting size limits according to the text towards the bottom of the Adobe tech note http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/404/kb404439.html for which you sent me the link, but which I have never before been able to get from Adobe tech support.
An exabyte seemed so big that I needed to confirm it before I could believe it. From various sources including Wikipedia I was able to confirm that...
1 Exabyte = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 Bytes = 1018 bytes = 1 billion gigabytes = 1 million terabytes. There's an interesting table of all the names of different data sizes, from kilobyte to yottabyte, at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exabyte
So if 4 exabytes is the max. size of a PSB file, I think it will just about be big enough for my puny little 16Gb file.
Thanks again for solving my problem.

.pdf file not opening in Illustrator CS5

All of a sudden, I cannot get ,pdf files to open in Illustrator CS5. what would cause this?
Thanks

Jeremy,
Or you may go further down the list.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save curent artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

CS5 can only open images from file open

I've done some googling/forum searching to no avail so far. Entering my exact error only directed me to some twitter statuses, so I'm hoping someone will be able to help.
Basically, CS5 gives an error if I try to open images by: dragging from finder, double-clicking from thunderbird, using the edit tool in Acrobat Pro, double-clicking in Bridge and probably a number of other situations.
As the topic states, it only seems to be able to open files via File > Open (Open Recent also appears to work). Other than that, CS5 appears to be working normally. It's more of a nuisance than anything, but it's disturbing my workflow quite a bit, so that's why I've decided to post about it.
Now here's the kicker: This new development seemingly coincides with installing some drivers (that's assuming they are called drivers in the OSX world) for a Lexmark 654de scanner/copier we just had installed here at work. I searched the computer for "lexmark" hoping I could trash some related files but literally nothing shows in the results.
You may argue, genuinely, that I should be posting this on some kind of Lexmark forum, and I may end up doing that. I assume a forum of photoshop users to be more helpful than Lexmark support forum if they even have one, though.
Error Text is as follows: The document "whatever.jpg" could not be opened. Photoshop cannot open files in the "Adobe Photoshop JPEG file" format.
Insert TIF for TIF files, PDF, etc. It seems to happen to all the common filetypes I use. Neither InDesign nor Illustrator are experiencing similar issues (if that helps).
Standard infomation:
Adobe Photoshop CS5 version 12.0.2 x64
Mac OSX 10.6.6
8GB RAM
952.98 GB Free Space
512mb ATI Radeon HD 5670
Lexmark 654de scanner/copier/fax machine could be related to the problem
Thanks for reading and offering any advice you may have.

This is a long shot but try going to Preferences/Type and uncheck "Show Font Names in English".
Quit illustrator and restart, does it work now?
The reason I´m suggesting this is that unless I have this box unchecked, some internal function in illustrator crashes after I´ve opened one document and I have to quit & restart if I wan´t to open another one. A rather silly bug and I stumpled upon the solution by accident after cursing illustrator for a couple of months...

How do I make After Effects files in Windows 7 open in AE CS5 instead of the default CS5.5?

I have AE 5.5 and 5 installed on a Windows 7 machine and I'd like .AEP files open in CS5 by default.
I've tried using windows explorer to specify using the CS5 program but it defaults back to CS5.5
I've tried using Bridge CS5 and CS5.5 Edit/Preferences/File Type Associations but After Effects isn't even listed for some reason.
The only way I can open files in CS5 is by opening CS5 and opening the files from there. Trouble is I have more CS5 files than CS5.5 and I collaborate with several other artists only running CS5 so converting them to CS5.5 isn't an option right now.
Any ideas?
Thanks for looking!
Cheers,
Chris

Nah, won't work. You would have to completeley erase the "After Effects Project" file type from your file associtaions and then literally rebuild it from scratch. Yes, that means heavy surgery by digging into the Registry and its HKEY_CASSES_ROOT branch as just removing it from the Explorer file associations still leaves the file type class in place. Long answer short: Just leave things as they are and keep your work organized. I never use double-clicking and I'm juggling versions from CS4 to CS6 every day, so it's possible.

INDD CS6 error: "InDesign cannot open files in the "InDesign CS5.5 Document" format.

Working in CS6 on Mac OS X 10.7.5: When I double click an INDD file in the Finder, I get the following error from InDesign:
"The document "doc name" could not be opened. InDesign cannot open files in the "InDesign CS5.5 Document" format."
This just started recently and I have not been able to figure out why. I have not updated INDD or OS X. I can't think of anything else that changed, other than maybe a Java update. Have not updated to the latest OS yet.
The files I'm trying to open are files I created with CS6 - as recent as a few minutes ago. I can open them fine using the File>Open command in InDesign so I can open them, but I can't open them by double clicking them in Finder or dragging them to the INDD icon in the dock.
The info in Finder's "Get Info" window says they are CS6 files set to open in CS6 and I have permissions to read and write. They are not locked.
This is not incapacitating, but rather annoying and slows me down since this is one of the most common ways I open files.
Any suggestsion would be appreciated.

Probably won't work because it sounds like an OS problem of some sort, but you can try trashing the prefs. See Replace Your Preferences

CS5 InDesign cannot open files in the InDesign CS5 document format

I'll be working in InDesign CS5 with no problems then at some point I'll double click on an InDesign file and a window comes up and says - InDesign cannot open files in the InDesign CS5 document format. Sometimes when this happens I have to completely reboot my whole system before I can get InDesign to function correctly. Is this a flaw with CS5? Did not happen with previous versions. It doesn't always happen but I can't figure out what causes it. Would appreciate anyones help. I'm getting to really HATE InDesign!!

I have not uninstalled and reinstalled, but I did just switch over to another workstation using Time Machine. The previous system was Leopard. This one is running Snow Leopard.
I'm not sure how to parse this. When you say "switch over to another workstaiton using Time Machine" do you mean, "started using another machine that happens to be using Time Machine for backups and is also running 10.6 instead of 10.5"?
Or do you mean, "Used the Time Machine program to upgrade from 10.5 to 10.6?" If you mean the second one, well, I can't say I am surprised that things are messed up. And that would make your problem rather different than the other posters, which is good reason for you to have started your own thread (and thus your own solution)....
I'm a little bit leary of getting in and changing things in Terminal, without understanding what I am changing. Plus this is a workstation at work, so if I screw something up, that is not a good things, and I don't have time to spend a day fixing things back up again, with the way our workload is.
Well, you can find a lot of marginal documentation about lsregister and Launch Services, but I wonder whether your understood the ramifications of messing with Time Machine (or maybe I have misinterpretted you!). I'd be surprised if you found another way to fix this, other than uninstall/reinstall.
Good luck.

How do I get all my files to open up in Cs5 not Cs3? File plugin problem

Keep getting error messages about plug-ins when trying to open up an InDesign file that wants to open up in Cs3 When I thought it should be opened up with Cs5. It says that the worldready.rpln, dynamicdocuments.rpln, and conditonaltext.rpln are missing. When I say just ignore then it gives me a really long list of things it is missing. It says things like assignments.rpln, text.rpln, spread.rpln, master page.rpln, image.rpln, text attribbutes.rpn, generic page items.rpn. I can't seem to change what opens the program either. I got the programs to open up in Cs5 if I went to open and then browse but then it couldn't recognize any of my fonts and put them to defaults. I just had reinstalled everything to a new computer after my old computer crashed and I wondered if perhaps that had did something. Are there some type of setttings or plugs in I need to download or change?

To change the program that .indd files default to when opened in OSX, right click on the .indd file > Open With > Other.
Then navigate to the version of InDesign that you want to open them with (I have CS6 installed but its the same for CS5). Make sure you have "Always Open With" selected.

Why can't I open files from ACR to CS5?

I have been using CS5/Bridge/ACR for a year now and all of the sudden, I cannot get the RAW images from ACR into CS5. I always open my RAW files from Bridge, make my adjustments in ACR, then select all and open images into CS5. This has always worked just fine, but recently only a random number of images will open, if any at all!
For example, If I select 10 images to open in CS5, it may be 4 that open, or it could be 8, or it could be 0. I haven't done anything new to my computer. I have uninstalled photoshop and reinstalled it twice and that hasn't helped.
I am so frustrated. I thought I purchased a quality product (which I have loved until now since I can't even get my files in to use the program!) and am so dissapointed that I can't use it anymore.
Hopefully someone can help me. I really want to use photoshop again!

You could try to reset Bridge preferences. Hold down the Ctrl key and start Bridge. You should get a reset window with 3 options.

Files from Windows Vista do not open in Bridge CS5

I am having trouble opening my images from Window Explorer level with Bridge.
I tried to open my jpgs with "open with" option and my PC does nothing. Same happens when I double click the raw images.
I have my jpgs assigned to open in windows but I assigned my raw files to open in Bridge CS5 unfortunately raws will not open after double click.
Can someone help?
Thanks

Perhaps it is just semantics, but you want the double click to open in Photoshop CS5 and not Bridge. Same thing with the raw it should open in ACR and not Bridge, as Bridge is just a browser.
With your raw problem. If you open photoshop and click help/about plug-in/camera raw you should get one version listed. Most camera raw problems result from ACR in wrong folder, or more than one version in the folder.

Photoshop CS5.1 Extended: Could not complete your request because there are too many Files Open

I saved a file last night and now this morning I get an error message stating: "Photoshop CS5.1 Extended: Could not complete your request because there are too many Files Open. Try closing some windows and try again.". I've rebooted the system and made sure Photoshop was the only program running and that there were no other files open prior to trying to open my file. I increased Photoshops ram usage, checked the OpenGL settings, 3D and VRAM settings, cleared my temp files and am at a loss for opening this file.
System Specs:
Win 7 64
6 core I7 processor
32gb Ram
3GB VRAM
600gb free space on 7200 rpm drive
File specs:
1 3D object replicated maybe 5 times (yes, I should have rasterized them, and will do that to 4 of them if I get the file open)
Maybe 8 textures
Not sure how many total layers.
Is there anyway to get Photoshop to reopen this file?

No, more VRAM is useless. I had the same thought as you so I tried with a friend's computer with 3GB of VRAM for 8GB RAM (mine has 1GB VRAM for 16GB RAM). Still got the same error message. Sorry guys but our files are lost until Adobe fix the error in Photoshop code. I hope in the future they will find a way to either fix this error or give a clear limitation, it is really a shame such a dangerous problem exists and persists for more than 3 photoshop gen.
Still you may be able to have at least a flat image of your latest file by trying to open the file as smart object. I started my work over by doing that. Not a lot but better than nothing.
However for my new file I am trying something different : Each time I think a 3D file is final, I do not rasterize it but make it into a smart object and save the new smart object into a single separated .psd file. If any change is needed I can still edit all of my 3D objects by opening them separately. So far it works, the global file is lighter with few to no 3D objects inside but I will not say it is a 100% no-risk method yet.
Last advice I can give everyone : Before closing the file you are working on, save it as a copy (File / Save as... and check 'As copy' in the options below) then with your main file still open, try to open the copy. You may need a lot of memory if your file is heavy but still if the dreaded error message appears when you try to open the copy then remove or rasterize some 3D objects in your main one. Save again as copy and try to open the copy until you do not get the message anymore.

I have reinstalled cc and vhen i want to open a raw-fil the picture opens in PS CS5 insted of in CC2014. How kan i connekt my raw files to CC2014

I have reinstalled cc and when i want to open a raw-fil the picture opens in PS CS5 insted of in CC2014.
How can i connect my raw-files to CC2014?

You should have Bridge CC installed for CC 2014.
In Windows, right-click on a raw file, and select "choose default program". Photoshop CC 2014 should be listed. Select it. "Always open this file with this program" should also be checkmarked.
If CC 2014 is not on the list, look for the Browse button at the bottom and go to Program Files > Adobe > Adobe Photoshop CC2014 and click on the Photoshop CC 2014.exe to choose it and add to the list.
In Bridge CC Edit > Preferences > File Type Associations, look for your raw file type (CR2 or Nef) and select Photoshop CC 2014 deom the drop-down menu.

PS CS5.1 crashes when using file open but not with bridge or "open as smart object"

I'm using a Mac with Snow Leopard and Photoshop CS5.1 Extended
When i try to open a file largen than ~50MB with double click in finder or with file>open in PS, the program loads the psd and shows it, then 2-3 seconds later PS crashes. If the psd is under ~50MB everything is fine.
If i open it with file>open as smart object or via the mini bridge, everything is fine, and i can work with it.
How can this be fixed?

Files opening in bridge cs4, not cs5

I have all my graphics types associated with bridge, but they open in cs4, and changing the association (in open with...) does nothing.
Maybe I should just uninstall bridge cs4?

Afraid that I might be called a smartypants I still suggest a different approach.
Personally I want my .psd-files to open in eg. Photoshop if I double click them from within Windows Explorer. Same with .indd/ai opening in InDesign or Illustrator.
Therefore I've made a .reg file that contains this:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Bridge]
@="Open in Adobe Bridge CS4"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Bridge\cmd]
@="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Adobe\\Adobe Bridge CS5\\Bridge.exe\" \"%L\""
This gives me the possibility to right click a folder, sadly not a specific file, and have it "open"/previewed/organized in Bridge.
Naturally this doesn't help your current issue with Bridge CS4 opening instead of CS5.
Just wanted to give you a possible workaround.
If everything else fails contacting Adobe Support could be an option...
