Files still opening in CS5

I downloaded CC yesterday and still have CS4 and CS5 on my Mac (can I delete either of these?). When working in CC and clicking to open a file from Bridge, CS5 opens and the files opens in CS5 rather thab CC. Ideas?

The answer to that question requires some explanations:
You didn't need to keep the older version each time you installed each new versions. All Adobe upgrades are FULL INSTALLERS, they don't need a prior version to install. If they don't find a prior version installed, the upgrade installer just asks for the old serial number as well as the new one.
You're not supposed to "delete" but to uninstall recent Adobe applications by using the Adobe Uninstallers that Adobe installs when you install every recent version of Photoshop, certainly CS4 and CS5.
Never just drag the application folder to the Trash.
However, the problem you face is that running the Uninstaller now brings a high risk of damaging the install of the newest versions, as there are similarly named files in similar locations placed there by each installer.
The best time to uninstall an older version—if you decide not to keep it—is BEFORE you install the newer one.
If you decide you still want to uninstall the older version(s) now, after the fact, your best bet is to uninstall every version, including CC, with its own uninstaller, beginning with the oldest one, and when you have uninstalled all of them, run the CS Cleaner Tool (downloadable from Adobe), and then finally re-install CC.
You will find the Uninstallers either in your Applications/Utilities folder (as is the case for CS4) or inside the Photoshop application folder (newest versions).

After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading.

After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading. I have no special software like numbers or anything else installed on either device. Just using the default viewer provided by apple for viewing email.

The attachment is an .xls excel 97-2003 spreadsheet. I viewed the file in the email and did not edit it with any software. I can forward the file to anyone that is may want to check it out to see if they can help me. I was wondering if there was some way of forcing another ios6 install on my phone and maybe that would solve it.
Is there anyone out there that is viewing .xls files in email using ios6 w/o any other software installed like numbers or any other add ons? I am not upgrading my ipad from ios5 to ios6 so I can still continue to view the emails on my ipad. Is there an email viewer .xls plug-in that will be availablle in the next ios6 update?

InDesign says file still open when it is not

I have experienced this poblem in InDesign CS4 & 5. It seems worse in CS5. When I finish with project I am working on and close out then I want to move the folder, rename it or delete it. I am unable to do this because the error message says there is still a file open even though there is not. I have closed out of InDesign and any programs where I have been working on linked files and still I get the file is still open message. I have even rebooted the computer and still receive that message when I try to move, rename or delete the folder or file. The only thing that seems to work is to leave the computer off overnight. By morning the files have somehow been released to let me do as I want to them.
I am currently work in with InDesign CS5 on Windows 7 platform. However I experienced the same issue (to a lesser degree) when using InDesign CS4 on Windows XP.
Have others experienced this problem? If so is there anything I can do fix it. It is getting very annoying.

This here might help to explain why and how some applications keep locks on directories:

.nef Nikon files not opening in CS5

OS X 10.9.2 - New Nikon D7100 .nef files will not open in CS5 - Camera Raw 6.7.1 - I tried to update Camera Raw to 7.1 but to no avail. What else can I do? TIA

That camera requires at least Camera Raw 7.4, which is not compatible with Photoshop CS5. The cheapest option would be for you to use the latest DNG converter to create digital negative copies of your NEF files. Those can be opened with what you have now. Or, you could add Lightroom to your workflow. Or, you could upgrade your Photoshop.

Question about saving CS5.5 .indd files to open in CS5

Do I need to export my InDesign CS5.5 as an IDML in order to open it in InDesign CS5?*

Yes.

How do you tell which files are open in bridge cs5?

In adobe bridge for CS2, open files in Photoshop show an icon in the lower right corner of the bridge thumnail. This is really helpful in sorting if you have a lot of files open. I can't figure out how to tell in bridge CS5 which files are open in photoshop. Is there a menu option that controls this??

Thanks for the reply. This is a useful feature but not quite what I need.
I am sorting through 2000 wedding photos. I have maybe 10 versions of the same shot open at a time. I edit, save, and close 2-3 of them. In CS2, I would go back to bridge and I could see the 7 files still open. I could quickly highlight and delete them. I'm trying to find a way to do something similar in CS5 bridge. Right now, I take the ones I'm going to delete and stack them all. But when I go back to bridge to delete them, I have to look at file numbers to see which ones are in the stack that I want to delete. This really slows my work flow. Any suggestions? Can I delete them directly from Photoshop?

Will files with hidden file extensions in Mac OS X still open automatically in the correct application on a windows PC?

I recently submitted some job applications that had word and PDF attachments. However, when I saved the files I unwittingly had the 'hide extension' box selected. Will these files still open automatically in the correct application on a PC? (ie are the file extensions just 'hidden' at my end or are they completely removed by selecting this option so as to cause problems when opening them on a PC?)
Thanks in advance.

Thanks, so having the 'hide extension' box checked when saving a new file for the first time won't save the file without an extension? (because I understand that Mac OS doesn't rely on the file extension but has other ways of knowing what the file is and what to open it with)
The reason I'm paranoid now is because one of the fields where I was uploading a file had a message to Mac users saying something like 'Mac users, be sure to save your file with an extension'. Surely this just happnes by default??

Lightroom doesn't open image in Photoshop CS5 but does open PS CS5

I just installed CS5 and uninstalled CS4.
Now, Lightroom 2.7 when in try to "Edit in Photoshop CS5" Photshop CS5 does open, but the image I am trying to edit does not open in PS-CS5 . Photoshop just opens and the image from Lightroom is not present.
Looking at previous threads I have tried the solution:
Mac OS
On Mac OS, try the following solutions in order:
Solution 1: Rebuild the Photoshop plist file.
Close Photoshop Lightroom.
Navigate to the Users/[username]/LIbrary/Preferences folder.
Drag the com.adobe.Photoshop.plist file in the Trash.
Start Photoshop. Photoshop will recreate the plist file.
I have updated LR , Mac OS and PSCS to all current versions
Any other ideas to get LR2.7 and PS CS5 to work together again ?
Thanks,

I did delete the LR plist file,
And yes I have the latest version of Camera Raw updated and installed,
but the Lightroom still opens PS CS5 but will not open the image too.
Any other sugestions
Thanks,

PSE7 Crashes when a second file is opened in Editor

I recently installed PSE7. I can open a file in Editor, but when I attempt to open a second file (with the initial file still open), the application crashes with the message "Adobe Photoshop Elements (Editor)has stopped working". I am using Vista Business SP1.
I have followed the Adobe Technote "Troubleshoot system errors or freezes in Photoshop Elements 6.0 (Windows Vista), and nothing works, other than to use the application in a new user account. It is extremely inconvenient to switch to a new user account. Any other suggestions?
Thanks. Charlie

John, changing the default printer to a local printer solved the problem. What a strange situation that the default printer would cause a problem like that.
Thanks so much for the solution -- very much appreciated.

Added new file but type still won't open in CS5

I would like CS5 to be able to open .m3u files as text files. I have added M3U into the Extensions.txt in my C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\Applications Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS5\en_US\Configuration\Extensions.txt, and the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS5\configuration\Extensions.txt files. I've also added it to the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS5\configuration\DocumentTypes\MMDocumentTypes.xml file. I have tried this two different ways: one by adding M3U as an addition TXT file, and the other as a completely new type.
In both cases, I can do File\Open and it lists my type (either Text Files (*.txt; *.m3u) or M3U Files (*.m3u)), but when I try to open a file with .m3u extension I get "Dreamweaver can't open .m3u files. Please choose an HTML, XML, or other compatible file."
Is there some other location I need to change this? Or is there somewhere to tell CS5 to open unrecgonized file types as text (the way Dreamweaver 8 used to work)?

Robert,
I would like CS5 to be able to open .m3u files as text files. I have added M3U into the Extensions.txt in my C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\Applications Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS5\en_US\Configuration\Extensions.txt, and the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS5\configuration\Extensions.txt files. I've also added it to the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS5\configuration\DocumentTypes\MMDocumentTypes.xml file. I have tried this two different ways: one by adding M3U as an addition TXT file, and the other as a completely new type.
You should never edit files in the *Application* Configuration folder (i.e.C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS5\configuration). You should only edit files in the *User* Configuration fodler (i.e. C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\Applications Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS5\en_US\Configuration). The reason is that you can always delete your User Configuration folder to reset to your original installation files.
You said that you edited "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS5\configuration\DocumentTypes\MMDocumentTypes.xml" but you should have edited the one in your User Configuration folder instead. If it doesn't exist in the User Configuration folder, then copy it there first, then edit it. You should just need to add it to the winfileextension and/or macfileextension attribute(s) as a comma-separated value.
You'll need to shutdown and restart DW.
HTH,

Can't open a CS5.1 file in CS6 - "An unknown error has occured"

What is the oldest PS file type that can be opened in CS5?

I have a lot of work that was created in PS 7.0. I want to get the latest version. What is the oldest file type that can be opened in CS5?

You will have no problem with files created with PS7.
I have files from PS3 that still open!

Does photoshop cs6 not save over files that are also open in cs5?

I started a project in CS5, saved it, left it open, then opened the same file in CS6. Then I started steadily working on the file in CS6 for about 20 minutes. I saved frequently while working in CS6. Then Photoshop crashed, I believe because I had several smart objects open at once. However, when I checked the file I had been saving, it was still in an identical state to when I stopped working on it in CS5. Not only that, but the "recovered file" was about 10 minutes behind in CS6.
This is really frustrating.

I don't know what went wrong for you but you are correct that it's normally possible for CS6 to save over a file that's open in CS5, and vice versa, and the same thing is possible with many other apps.
Furthermore, some apps watch for changes being made to a file which they have open and will automatically update the version of the file which they hold in memory with the modified version that another app has written to disc.
Of course, there are apps, databases for example, which do lock files which they have open.
None of that helps you, but just letting you know that you weren't wrong to expect your work to be saved.

My computer thinks a Indesign CS5.5 file is open

My computer's power source failed and turned off while an Indesign CS5.5 file is open. Now trying to access the file, my computer (a mac) thinks it's still open. I'd like to either "close" down the file my computer thinks is open or delete the file (I have good copy on an external hard drive). Anyone have any advice? Thanks so much.

Is this document located on your computer, you're not working on it across a server where someone else might legitimately have it open? If that's the case, look in the folder where this document is located, see if there's a file name in that folder that starts with a tilde and ends with ".idlk". That's the lock file that keeps multiple users from opening the same document in a shared environment. If it's only you working on this, it should be safe to delete it, and you should then be able to open the file.
