How can I open a CS4 file in the current version of Illustrator?
I am collaborating with a friend on a project. He has CS4 and can't/won't upgrade.
I was able to send him a file I created in the current version of Illustrator, and he was able to open it (I don't know how successfully, but it opened).
He then saved it with a new name.ai and sent it back to me. When I open it, Illustrator thinks it's a photoshop file. It's able to open it ok, but it's rasterized, and is lacking a lot of details. So, even when I use Image Trace to get the pieces back, little shapes, like the tongue in an animal's mouth, are missing. And all of the individual pieces that make the Illustrator file so easy to tweak are lacking.
Is there a trick to making this work, on my side or on his? I already tried searching via google and didn't find anything that looked helpful.
Last resort may be to get him to just install the 30 day trial of the current version so we can get this project done.
Thanks for any ideas!
Having his install the trial is the way to go. Working between AI versions is a pain and as you are finding out almost impossible with 5 versions between the collaborators.

How do I open Pages '08 files with the current version of Pages (5.5)?
I have a computer full of Pages '08 files. I just upgraded to Yosemite and purchased the new Pages. It looks great but Pages is telling me that it doesn't open Pages '08 files. Apparently it only opens it's own files and Pages '09 files. As far as I know, Pages '09 is no longer available. Am I stuck at a dead end? Is there no way for me to access any of my documents?!
Help!!!You should still have Pages '08 in your Applications/iWork folder.
Open your files with that and Export to Word .doc/docx. Pages 5.5 can open those with probably considerable changes.
rogerfromnorfolk is right. Take a lesson from this as Apple will continue to screw over your work without regard for its affect on you or all the people who have to work with you.
Start looking for something else more secure and reliable, that means NOT from Apple.
LibreOffice [free] is very capable. There are also NisusWriter and Mellel with more alternatives on their way. Affinity Publisher from Serif should be launched next year and should maybe end any need to use Apple's btroken software.

How can I open a cc2014 file in my cs6 version of Indesign ?
How can I open a cc2014 file in my cs6 version of Indesign ?
I have several files that has been saved in a cc2014 version and I can't open them in my CS6 version of Indesign.
I don t have access to anyone who have the cc 2014 version to convert the file.
How can I do it from my cs6 version?
THANKS!You can't do it from CS6.
You have to export to IDML from InDesign CC2014 (or whatever the version it was created in) and then open the IDML in the earlier versoin of InDesign.
All explained in the FAQ on the main forum page. -

How can I open a Numbers file to the last cell used on from the previous saving of that file?
In Excel, the .xls file would always open on the the cell location where the file was previously saved. Very nice to have feature when the file is long ,so one does not have to keep scrolling down the page to make the next entry every time the file is opened.
Can Numbers do this? I can't find an option for it.
After opening a file, I must always scroll down to the last entry or where I want to start inputting data. What a pain.
Is there a way to open a numbers file to where one was located when it was previously saved?
Anybody know? Please help.
ThanksCF,
When I Save a Numbers document with a cell Selected and then close the document, the same cell is still selected when I reopen the document. Isn't that what you are asking for? Furthermore, if I have chosen 100% zoom scale, the selected cell is displayed in the same screen position as when it was last saved. What you may be seeing that you don't care for is that if the zoom is other than 100% the table's position in the display window may be different than at the last Save.

How can I open and copy files on the win side from the mac side?
I am working on the mac side and I need to be able to copy files from the mac side that I create over to the win side. I can open and view win files when I am booted to Snow Leopard, but I cant copy files to the win side. I think Macdrive does the opposite.
Any ideas?
thanks,
Cto write to Windows NTFS you need 3rd party.
You have read only access to HFS from Windows.
MacDrive8 works in Windows to add write to HFS as does Paragon. Paragon has what I have come to see as the best NTFS driver for OS X, and they have a separate HFS8 for Windows similar to MacDrive8.
Maybe you want to run Windows as a client OS using Parallels instead? -
I have gotten a PSD from a coworker who asked for some help. He has the Full version of Photoshop and I have the Elements 10 version. I cannot open the grouped folders into individual layers and manipulate the current design that needs work. How can I get more functionality out of Elements and ungroup these layers?
Message was edited by: Jared SeefriedYou could get elements+ which is a very cheap add on.

How do I open a acsm file with the newest version of Adobe Digital Editions
I purchased an ebook that was delivered in the the Adobe .acsm format. When I downloaded it, I specified that the Adobe Digital Editions as the app to open the file. ADE launched, loaded my old books but the new book was not loaded. I also tried to load the book from the ADE, but the book shows up as a grayed out item that I cannot select. I am running the book reader on a Mac running OS X 10.5.8 and have downloaded the lastest version of the ADE. Has anyone else had a similar problem? Thanks, Yvonne
I'm having the same problem. I have the latest Adobe Reader version, have Mac OS X 10.6.4, and I cannot open any .acsm file-old or new. I've also tried to load the book from the ADE, but the book shows up as a grayed out item that I cannot select. I've tried everything, but to no avail. I don't have any solutions, but wanted to let you know you're not alone in this problem.

How can I open old Freehand files on this new Mac?
Can I still open and work in Freehand on this new Mac?Let me see if I've gotten this right! You want to remove an account from BOTH machines? Do this for your new machine first, then for the other.
Click the Apple logo on the top left of the screen, System Preferences, Users and Groups (under Systems), unlock the lock in the window if its locked (you need to know the password), select the user that you wish to remove, and click the - sign next to the + sign for Login options. A window will pop up with some options. Select Delete this user and securely, and click 'Delete user'.
After this, do an update from the App Store.
Thats all there is to it.
For the other machine repeat the process except for one thing. Before you delete the user in this case YOU, you will have to give Administrator priviledges to your son bu checking the box 'Allow user to administer this computer'.
Do NOT do anything from Finder ... if you dont know how to fix the consequences of the problems caused.
There is no need to unauthorize your iTunes account on your new machine. Do it on the old machine though. -

Alas, you can't.
You can open nearly all of them. Pages will open AppleWorks 6 Word Processing documents but not AppleWorks 5 ones.
Word Processing documents can be opened directly only in Pages.
Draw Documents can be opened directly only in EazyDraw (the more expensive version from their website, not the cheaper one from the Mac App Store, and you will need v4.0 'Retro' not the most recent version) or Intaglio (though this appears not to be able to handle very complex drawings). (It's possible to copy Draw documents into a Word Processing document in order to open them in Pages, but you need AppleWorks to do this in the first place.)
Spreadsheets can be opened directly only in Numbers.
Presentations can be opened directly only in Keynote.
Nothing will open AppleWorks databases or Paint documents: the only way to access them is to open them in AppleWorks and export.
This seven-page article examines migrating from AppleWorks in some detail:
