How do I open Freehand files created in  OS 9 in  OS 10?

I had a G3 with OS 9. I created all my artwork in Adobe FreeHand 10. I now have a G4 with OS 10
and I have no idea how to open my files. Can anyone help me please?

1) "Version of QuickTime installed in MAC OS 9 folder used by Classic is not recommended. Install 6.0.3 or later." but when I check my computer, QT is version 7.6.4.
QT 7.6.4 would be what OSX is using, not OS 9 (Classic).
Just for clarification -
Classic sort of is OS 9, yet isn't. When it is used as a boot OS (when it is running the Mac), it is termed OS 9. When it is used as a program while OSX is running the machine (in order to provide an environemnt in which many OS 9-only programs can be run), it is called Classic.
On machines which are OS 9-bootable, the install used for Classic is a full OS 9 System Folder.
On those machines which are not OS 9-bootable, such as yours, the Classic install is an abbreviated one - it is not as complete as a full OS 9 install would be, yet will work fine as Classic.
The folder containing the software used for Classic may be named just "System Folder" on those machines which can boot both using either OS 9 or OSX, or it might be called something similar on those which are OSX-bootable only.
You should look in that folder, the one used for/by Classic, for the versions of software used by Classic. If you also have a folder named Applications (OS 9), there may be a Utilities folder in it which could contain QuickTime for OS 9.
I suspect that you do have Classic installed; and also have QT 6.0.3 available for it. The messages you've provided usually would be those generated in response to OSX trying to use the System Folder on the OS 9 Install CD as Classic, which can not be done (in order for OSX to be able to use an OS 9 System Folder as Classic it must update/add some files to it; however, since an install CD is non-writable that can't be done, so an 'I can't do that' message results).
Why would OSX try to use the System Folder on the OS 9 Install CD as Classic? That kind of behavior has been around for a long time, since before OSX. When a program needed to open a file is not already running and available, the OS looks first on the volume (disk) containing the file for such a program, and, if it finds one, will attempt to use it (if it finds none, it will then look on the boot volume/drive). The OS is not smart enough to try looking elsewhere when that attempt fails.
The solution for that is to have a suitable program already running and available. In this case, starting up Classic using the Classic pane in System Preferences would prevent OSX from trying to use the System Folder on thre CD as Classic.
However, if you already have Classic installed (which appears to be the case), then you have no need to attempt to re-install it from that OS 9 Install CD (which can't be done anyway).

    How to open a file created at the server through form/report at client end
    Dear Sir/Madame,
    I am creating a exception report at the server-end using utl file utility. I want to display this report at the client end. A user doesn't have any access to server. Will u please write me the solution and oblige me.
    Thanks
    Rajesh Jain

    One way of doing this is to write a PL/SQL procedure that uses UTL_FILE to read the file and DBMS_OUTPUT to display the contents to the users.

  • How do you open FreeHand MX files in Leopard?

    Adobe said that installing and using FreeHand MX in Leopard is not recommended. Since Illustrator CS3 only has partially success in opening FreeHand files how are you supposed to open them? Is anybody using FreeHand MX on Leopard. I concerned about installing it since other apps of the age I've heard don't run at all (PhotoShop 7).

Leopard seems unsable and I can't wait for the bug fix. I wish I had waited longer to purchase and load.

    Sherlock is gone from Leopard. All you saw were traces of his leaving when you upgraded.
    As far as Airport goes, check the Network Preferences and under Advanced be sure you have the correct boxes checked or unchecked as needed. Then see what happens.
    What seems unstable about Leopard? Mine seems stable as a rock on my old MBP.

  • Why can't I open PDF files created in Adobe X using Adobe XI? How do I fix this?

    Why can't I open PDF files created using Adobe X in Adobe XI?

    I try and open them in Reader (double left click on the file) and all I get is a single screen with two overlapping frames neither of which have anything to do with the subject although the presentation title is at the top.  One of the frames had "Adobemail.com" on it. Our work computers were recently up-graded to Adobe XI and this was the first time I tried to open a presentation that has worked fine in the past.  I would have thought that Adobe XI would have been backward  compatible, but it doesn't seem so. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have an 08:00 First-Aid class tomorrow and need this presentation.  Apparently Adobe forums are off-line for up-grades.  Thanks

    I want to open a radio file that is .rm.  I get a message that says I need additional Quicktime software, but I cannot locate what I need to download on the QT website.  Anyone got ideas about how I can open this file?

    Hi bert,
    the ".rm" extension is created by 'Real Media' application.
    The easiest way to use it is to install the 'Real Media' player:
    1. RealPlayer BBC.app
    2. RealPlayer 12.app
    I have both installed & use them sometimes.
    (The 'BBC' wersion doesn't have any adverts with-in the app.)

    Hi ch2o,
    Based on your issue, I tried to use the F12 to find the JS or CSS file. I find that I get same result with yours, so I did some research about your issue. I find some similar thread for your issue, so I suggest you could refer it and then check your issue
    in your side.

  • How do I open CP3 files in Captivate V7

    We've just purchased licences to upgrade our Captivate V3 to V7. Does anyone know how to open our CP3 files in Captivate V7... if this can be achieved??

    Hello,
    You will not be able to open cp-files created with CP3 in CP7. Maybe if you could try to open them in CP5 (if you find someone with that version) as an intermediate step?
    There has been so many changes (extension, ActionScript...), that I would really recommend to recreate the files in CP7 if you need to upgrade them. Backgrounds, images, sound clips can be recovered from the old files.

  • How can I open raw files from my Nikon D7100 in CS4 or CS5?

    How can I open raw files from my Nikon D7100 in CS4 or CS5?

    Andy,
    In the simple and short form, what happens with the ACR (Adobe Camera RAW) module is that it gets updated with regularity, to accommodate the camera mfgr's. changes for their newer models. That ACR works within the host program, such as Ps, PsElements, Lightroom, etc.. At a point, Adobe ceases to support older host program versions. When that happens, the user has a few options:
    Upgrade the host program version
    Use another host program, such as PsElements or Lightroom
    Use the free DNG converter, per Curt's suggestion. That is not host program dependent
    Glad that the DNG Converter works for you.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • How can i open .mts files in premiere cs4?

    What kind of audio did the camera record?  For example, the Sony NX5U can be set to record linear PCM audio, which will not import into CS4.  If the same camera is set to record AC3 audio, then the clips should import and play as expected.  This thread may help:

  • Problem opening PC files created on latest version of CS5 on Mac

    Hi.
    We´re a creative team in my company of four people, three mac users and one pc user. We recently all subscribed to the creative cloud so that we allways have the latest version of CS5, but there seems to be a problem with all files edited or created from the PC user.
    We've (mac users, all three) tried to open the files either created or edited by the PC user and we're told that this was created by a newer version and is not possible. Trying to understand why this message occure when all three macs where updated with creative cloud after the PC user.

    your title is confusing.
    the pc user is using cc 2014 apps, correct?
    the mac users are using cc 2014 apps, correct?
    if so, there should be no problem.
    if someone is using cs5 to try and open a file created by a cc 2014 app, you will see the problem you described.
