HELP ps file won't open in CS5

this is a file that I have really worked a lot, with about 20 layers. Says There was a problem reading the layer data, read the composite data instead?
When I say yes, it says Could not complete your request becasuse the file is not compatible with this version of PS.
I tried opening in preview, bridge, update PS, no success.

Have you tried to use the open command in the application?

  • HELP! Files won't open and previously had Firefox icon instead of DW icons!  Leap Year thing?

    Hi!  I went to update my website, which I do every night before the first day of every month and all the files had a FIrefox icon instead of the usual Dreamweaver one.  I have shut down, reinstalled DW MX 2004 but the files still do not open.  The icons have now changed to DW but they are not opening with right click, opening from Applications folder, double clicking the file, from get info and open with DW.  I am stumped. HELP!  Need to update for March 1st.
    Is it something to do with Leap Year 29th Feb?  Checked the clock in preferences but can't see how this affects it.
    Firefox is always updated but the latest version does not seem to be as efficient as previous upgrades.  We installed Chrome as well.  Do they interfere with each other?

    Hi Ken
    I wish the 7.1 updater download had helped but it didn¹t.  All the files
    were backed up before the installation, which went fine.
    Mac 10.5.8
    We used Disc Warrior to defrag the hard drive, which did not make a
    difference.
    We recently started using Chrome, so now have 3 browsers in the dock,
    Safari, Firefox and Chrome.  Do they interfere in any way with each other?
    The files, which I hadn¹t touched for a month as I update on a monthly
    basis, initially had the Firefox icon.

    I am not late with updating the site, which is about New Zealand culture,
    month by month (www.englishteacher.co.nz). Probably only the third time I
    have been late since 2005. Not a huge amount of traffic, ~300 a month and
    free access to content but I would like to solve this problem.
    Could a reciprocal link have caused a problem?
    At my wits end.
    I really appreciate the help though.

  • D600 .NEF files won't open in CS5 Camera Raw?

    .NEF files taken on my new Nikon D600 won't open in CS5 Bridge Camera Raw.
    Error Message:   The Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in did not recognise the format of one or more files."
    .NEF files taken with the Nikon D90 are opening perfectly.
    There must be plug-ins available - I just can't seem to find them. Can someone send a link please?
    I am working on a Mac
    URGENT help please - I have a whole wedding to edit!

    D600 raw files only open in CS6/ACR7.3.  You need to upgrade your Photoshop.   http://www.adobe.com/photoshop/
    An alternative is to use the free DNG Converter to convert your NEFs to DNGs and those will open in older ACR versions.  Another alternative is to get Lightroom 4.3.

  • Indesign file won't open native CS5 file, gives me "missing plug-in or being used?

    I've tried to open both a CS4 and CS5 file from another designer, and it gives me a message "InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file may be missing, or the file may be open in another application." (which it is not) I've downloaded the update, but still no luck. Any ideas?

    Are you sure it's an InDesign file? How did you get the file?

  • 7D mark II raw files won't open using CS5. Help.

    Have you tried the Adobe DNG converter program?  You can download it from them.

  • Flash CS4 file won't open in CS5

    I have tried Adobe support with this but their response was as helpful as a hole in the head. I am hoping someone here might be able to help or seen this problem before.
    I have a fla file which opens, save and compiles perfectly in Flash CS4 but when I open it in CS5 it crashes Flash with the below error report. I have tried this on multiple machines all resulting in the same error message.
    I have also tried saving the file in CS4 under a new name, did a compact and save and a magic spell. Neither of which had any effect.
    Any help or pointers would be appreciated.

    PS: If anyone from Adobe is reading this... given you are charging a premium for Master Collection here in Australia I would have expected a little bit of help when your software doesn't work as expected. I am sorry, but that's just not good customer service.

    By the way, Peter, I had meant to note. In the other thread you cited, you say:
    >
    Exception Type:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)
    Exception Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at 0x0000000000000000
    Crashed Thread:  0  Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread
    >
    This kind of crash at that location often means a bad font, or so I've been told.
    This is actually an incredibly common failure, and it is much much more generic than bad fonts. It could be caused by bad fonts, but it could be caused by almost anything.
    This indicaets a program has tried to defeference a pointer whose value is zero. That is, some function was passed a reference to some part of the program's memory (typically pointing to some data structure. It could be a number, a string, an TexttFrame, another function, a file, really anyting), and instead of that reference being an address, it was zero. And the function didn't check to see if thie address was valid, it just tried to read from address zero. Which, under many operating systems, including OSX, generates a trap and causes a crash.
    So it's necessary to look at the stack trace to see what function generated the error. And that function was probably called be some other function by anothre function etc., and the fault is probably further upstream. If, e.g., the IDML export code calls the system's fprintf() function with a null pointer, the crash might be in fprintf(), but it would be the fault of the IDML export code.
    Sometimes the faulting address might be more unique. Like if the pointer not zero but say, 3. There probably aren't too many cases where a pointer gets initialized to 3 by accident, so it might usually be the same thing. But address zero is incredibly common. (So are fun ones like 0xdeadbeef and 0xfafababe and 0xcafecafe).
    Cheers. I wonder what happened with bizcomm...

    Sounds to me like the file is probably corrupt. If you had hard drive corruption or damage, that could easily result in recovered files not being fully intact. If you were trying to recover accidentally deleted files, it's possible they might have been partially overwritten before recovering. There are never any guarantees with file recovery.
    Without more information on the circumstances that led you to try recovery, it's hard to give advice on what to try from here. You could always try another file recovery tool, like Data Rescue 3. Just be sure you're taking appropriate precautions when doing recovery. See Recovering deleted files.

  • Raw files saved to jpeg via bridge but now some jpegs won't open in CS5

    I saved Raw files to jpeg via bridge but now some of the jpegs won't open in CS5, they only open in bridge?  How do I get them to open up in photoshop instead?

    I'm not quite sure of your workflow, but here's a couple of things to try:
    1. Make sure the folder to be batch processed contains only JPEGs.
    2. In Bridge, go to Camera Raw Preferences (not Bridge Preferences) and change JPEG and TIFF Handling to Disable JPEG support. This should ensure that all JPEGs open directly in Photoshop.

  • HELP!!!! file won't open but could open before

    ok so this file was opened a few hours ago and work was done on it. we went on and worked on other projects and now had corrections to do on it again but now it just won't open.  in fact all of the files found within the job folder won't open.
    i can create a new file and save it
    i can open other job files no problem
    but those particular files won't open and it causes my illustrator to crash.
    wierd thing is that on other computers the files open no problem.
    by the way i reinstalled illustrator and the problem persists! are there cache files or preference files i can delete or something to do to reset illustrator completely that isnt done when i uninstall!?
    this is done on a Mac Pro quad core, 4 Gb of ram, adobe cs 4, mac os x 10.5.8

    The problem was font related!
    we took all the system fonts from another mac and overwrote all of the system fonts in the problematic mac.
    and BINGO
    problem solved!

  • FCP 5.1 file won't open in FCP 7

    Hi.
    I am at my wits end...I have a FCP 5.1 file that I have been working on for years.
    I had to upgrade to FCP 7 for reasons I won't go into and now my FCP 5.1 file won't open.
    It is a file with footage from P2 cards. It has magic bullet/looks builder used throughout. I am not sure if that is the issue at one point ONE of the messages I got when it crashed (I got a few different ones at different times) was something about looksbuilder not working right.
    In a nutshell, it slowly starts to open and then quits. (It gets to about 33 percent open over the course of 45 minutes and then crashes.)
    The file is about half a gig and there is plenty of room on the MAC itself so it shouldn't be that the Mac is overtaxed.
    I don't know what to do.
    I tried opening various back-up copies, etc. because I thought maybe something was just corrupted. NONE of them open.
    I tried deleting render files to limit how much it was trying to process when it opened the thing.
    I even tried turning off the external drives that hold the media hoping that if it couldn't find the media it would just open the shell of a file for me and maybe I could reconnect it all later. Obviously, grasping at straws...
    I am out of options. Do I just need to wipe my computer and reinstall 5.1 from scratch? That would stink because there is another project being worked on on the computer that is a FCP 7 file.
    I tried putting a copy of FCP 5.1 back on the computer (so I have 7 and 5.1 on there now) to get it to open, but FCP 5.1 won't work either now (I get General Error 41 - whatever that means) Maybe you can't have two versions of FCP on the computer? Maybe it thinks it got opened in 7 so now it won't work in 5? even though it never fully opened? Guessing...
    I'd appreciate any and all help. All I want to do is open the 5.1 file and save it in FCP 7 and work from there.
    Thanks!
    Shari

    Hey Michael:
    Thanks for the response. I did something similar in that I opened the file on another computer that had FCP 7 and it was fine. So I saved that. Then I went to my Mac and tried to open that file and it crashed...but it said something about Looksbuilder...so I contacted them and they had me uninstall, reinstall and then fix the preference files for Looksbuilder and it now opens.
    YAY!
    Thanks again,
    Shari

  • Pdf files won't open in Safari running on a Mac

    I just upgraded my MacBook Pro to Snow Leopard in preparation for Lion and ever since the upgrade, pdf files won't open in Safari.  I have Reader 9.4.5.  It opens documents that are on my machine, it just won't open in Safari, nor do the documents download.

    MIght be helpful to disable Adobe plugin by going to Adobe Reader's Preferences -> Internet and unchecking "Display PDF in browser using".
    Then dump the atrocious bloated Reader.
