Have to reboot to open ID and now have "damaged" file message

Hi,
I'm using CS3. Over the last 24 hours, InDesign will close, when I click to open my ID file, it won't open. I have to reboot. When I reboot I got a message that reads "file maybe damaged, do you want to open it anyway"?
Another thing, when it has the message up, it gives the name of the file, but there is a different document that is trying to open.
Would should I do?
Why won't ID open when I click on it until I have to restart the hard drive?
Is my file really damaged? What would be damaged in the file? Is there something I can do to recover and not lose this file? Why does it read that one file might be damaged and shows a different document in view.
I really need these files.
Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Barb

If you save as with a new name you get a new file without overwriting the old one, which is just a precaution. Exporting to .inx is a method of removing minor corruption that can creep in on occasion because it strips out all but the barest of necessary information to rebuild the file. Opening that and saving will give you the cleanest possible file.
This is a belt-and-suspenders approach, but I feel that is usually warranted when you have any doubts about file integrity. You can always throw away anything you find later you don't need, but you can't recover anything you destroy while trying to fix the problem.
For goodness sake, though, you need to have some sort of regular backup system in place in case of disaster. I've become fond of Acronis TrueImage (less than $100) which I use to make nightly backups of my data drive to an external hard drive and weekly backups to my system drive to an internal backup drive. I've been seeing more and more hard drive failures recently, and the backup system lets me sleep at night.
Another option I use for some of my service clients is an external drive that comes bundled with a backup system on it. It's not as sophisticated -- you don't get redundancy with the ones I've seen (Acronis lets me keep a couple of months of backup data before I need to delete anything to make space for the next round), but it should be sufficient for disaster recovery. I was using Maxtor OneTouch 4 500GB drives for this, but they seem to be disappearing from the marketplace in favor of larger models.

Any idea how i restore my office email account, looks like i have moved all items to trash and now have no email account ! no time machine either

any idea how i restore my office email account, looks like i have moved all items to trash and now have no email account ! no time machine either

let's go back to your original post: what do you mean "it looks like you moved all items to trash"??
You DID move them to trash? (we can discuss WHY once we cure you)...
Can you open a window in finder and get to applications and then to utilities? Is MAIL in there?
And your "office email account"-- do you mean physical office, like place of work and you want that account in your mac mail on your computer? ~OR~ do you mean, microsoft office,mail account?
The difference is necessary to know...

Repair itunes library (damaged) file. Multiple iTunes libraries on an external harddrive. All libraries have been working fine. Do some "housecleaning" on a one of the large libraries 296GB. iTunes quit and now has damaged file. 296 GB still on HD.

The duplication is unnecessary. Exporting creates a duplicate of the file. So now you'll have a duplicate of a duplicate. Exporting is not "working on" a file.
No it's not merging, it's exporting from one to the Finder and into another. No matter what lose something. If you export the Original you leave behind all the work you've done in iPhoto. If you export anything else, you lose the non-destructive editing and the ability to revert to the original. With merging you preserve that work. Yes, you can trash the old Library when you have completed the manoevre but no it's not the same thing as merging.
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue. But in brief:
Current gets you the iPhoto Preview, used for sharing via media browsers. It's a jpg, medium quality missing metadata. Original gets the file you imported, unchanged and then you can export different version of the current version at different qualities. If you choose to export anything except the Original you do not get a Raw. There's no such thing as an "edited Raw", and you lose the connection between the original and the exported version. That means you've taken a non-destructive workflow and turned it into a destructive one.
The Tiff will certainly be higher qulaity and less likely to suffer generational loss in future editing but the file sizes are vast, often more than 10 times the size of the jpeg.
Put it this way, it would be cheaper to buy Library Manager than the disk you'll need to contain all the Tiffs. Unless you plan on a lot of editing, I'd go for a high quality jpeg as a reasonable compromise.
To be clear:
So, I guess my new question is, how can I edit the Raw image and keep it in a RAW format that IPhoto recognizes so that I can reprocess without any loss at a future time, or is it that once you edit a RAW image, then it is no longer a RAW image?
Once you edit a Raw it can no longer be a Raw. End of.

I spent last week syncing 50GB of data in my cc folder and two computers. Now the cc app has updated and the folder has disappeared from my computer.Where have they gone?

I have set up my wireless network and now have moved. How can I set up a new network with a different ip address

I have set up my wireless network on airport express and worked great. I have now moved and have a new internet provider and need to change my ip address. How do I do this

Is your new ISP providing you with a static Public IP address? ... or are they providing you with a dynamic IP address via DHCP (this would be the most common method for consumer-grade Internet service.) Next, which version of the AirPort Utility are you using? Finally, which version of the AirPort Express do you have?

Apps downloaded on one should also appear on the other as long as the app in question runs on both iPads and iPhones.

Had to start Firefox in safe mode cause it kept crashing after i deleted the file. Now Fire fox Crashes every time I open it and I have to put it in safe mode just to use it, also it's not syncing with my iPad.

If you use Norton software, try disabling your Norton extensions. As of last week, there were severe compatibility issues with Firefox 24.

I had to reinstall CS4 and now have error messages when opening bridge and photoshop

The error message is "The specified module could not be found. C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Version Cue CS4\Client\4.0.1\Version Cue.DLL

I tried what you suggested and it did not help. whenever I try to open either photoshop or bridge, I get a message saying that there was a problem loading scripts the last time that Bridge was open and do I want to try loading them again? If I click yes, I get that same error message that I reported in my original question and photoshop/bridge will immediately close. If I click no, photoshop and bridge will open but it will not let me open a raw format document. It seems like Adobe Camera Raw is not being recognized.   One of the updates I downloaded was an update to Adobe Camera Raw so the functionality is there, it just can't be accessed. do you think I should try to uninstall and re-install Photoshop again?
