How to open "old" Pages file on Version 5.2?

Can't open old Pages document on Ver 5.2; where is Pages '09?

If you had Pages '09 installed before the first installation of Pages v5, then the former was moved into /Applications/iWork '09 folder. Pages v5 does not support Pages '08, or RTF files, so you will need Pages '09 as an intermediary application. If you don't have Pages '09, or don't know someone who does, then Amazon still offers the iWork '09 application suite on DVD. If you go that route, you will need to apply the Apple iWork 9.3 update after installation.

Cannot open old Illustrator files (pre version 8) in CS4 trial

Hi
I am thinking of upgrading from Illustrator CS2 to CS4. However, I have downloaded the trial version and have found that Illustrator CS4 cannot open old Illustrator files earlier than version 8 (pre 2000) whereas Illustrator CS2 had no problem with this. I do not want to resave my old files as there are way too many of them (hundreds!).
I am running Windows XP.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks

Exactly what happens when you attempt to open one of these old files in AI 14 (CS4)? (If you get an error message, what does it say?)
Can you post a sample file up on a server or service and provide the link here? That way, others with AI 14 can test to see whether it's something peculiar to your installation.
Please also tell us exactly how you are attempting to open the files. (Double-clicking in Explorer? Using File | Open from within Illustrator? Dragging and dropping onto an AI 14 shortcut?)
>...CS4 cannot open old Illustrator files earlier than version 8...
I find it very difficult to believe AI 14 can open version 8 but not version 7 files. There was no significant change in the native file format.

How to open iWeb09 pages on earlier versions

iWeb is a great app, but some aspects of it make it very difficult for schools. A teacher has made a stack of webpages for an intranet in iWeb 09 without thinking about the fact not all teachers have iWeb 09 and the classroom G4 iBooks cannot run iWeb09. We can't open her file with older versions and we can't upgrade all computers to run iWeb 09. Is there a solution without rewriting all the webpages in an earlier version? Even that won't be a real solution as if one person opens a file in a later version and saves, we are back to square one. Any thoughts or ideas?
Cheers and thanks for your time

Missed a few points here.
Point 1) I didn't set this up. I know exactly what you mean from teaching iWeb since its inception. This was already undertaken and we are just trying to resolve it without a massive amount of rework. The teacher is very gutted after getting excited and doing all this work without realizing the implications of what she was doing. She hadn't talked to me about it - I just work occasionally in the school, and she had a brand new computer with iLife 09 which she was keen to get into.
Point 2) No mention of students. This is just teacher intranet stuff about their room and it will only be an account on the teacher machine.
The webpages the children create are already published to a folder and linked to a Dreamweaver webpage using exactly the same set up as you describe. I don't find multiple iWeb sites hard to manage if you know how and where iWeb stores its domain. I set up multiple folders in the Application Support / iWeb folder and make links to the Domains from the Dock. Kids (and they are really good kids) don't have any trouble with this and know the importance of being careful opening the correct Domains.
I'll come back to my original request, is there anyway we can open iWeb 09 (version3) domains with an earlier version or is the only solution a complete rewrite.
Please, don't be offended, I am grateful for your input and I know you were trying to help!!!
Cheers

How to open new Pages file format

Sorry if this is already answered, but I upgraded to OS 10.9 on a new Mac and it upgraded Pages in iWork suite, and now I can't read the files on my older Mac running OS 10.7 and Pages (iWork '09). I purchased iWork '09 so is there a workaround to see files made in Pages 5.0 in OS 10.9. Older Macs won't run OS 10.9 (of course). thanks

All explained in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6049, which discusses the new iWorks stuff (dumbed down to mimic it's iOS counterparts) and the previously full-featured iWork '09 apps.

Can't open old numbers files in version 3.5

some old files can't be openen with the updated Numbers.
Foutmelding:
'index.numbers' kan niet worden geopend.'

UPDATE & WORKAROUND:
Ok, i found a way to at least see the spreadsheet. Change the file extension to .zip and it'll bring up a few files in Finder. Mine came up as INDEX. I was able to do a Quick Look on the file and it shows my spreadsheet.
I'll have to re-enter the info into a new spreadsheet, but at least I was able to see my data.
I'll be using Google Docs from now on. What a hassle?!

Pages 08 won't open my old pages file

I just upgraded to Pages 08 and when I try to open the file I was working on yesterday, with the previous version of pages, it says "The document...couldn't be opened". How can I open the old pages file with the new version?

It may be useful to trash the preferences file:
<bootVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist
But I'm afraid that the document is corrupted.
Control click its icon then select the "Show package's contents" in the contextual menu.
The standard contents is:
Contents
QuickLook
index.xml.gz
The described message is displayed when there is no "index.xml.gz" (or "index.xml") file.
It is also displayed when the "index.xml.gz" (or "index.xml") is badly formed.
The index may be dropped when the documents where stored on an iDisk.

How do I open old tiff files in PS CS5

How do I open old tiff files in PS CS5?

Opening old files in new versions should never be a problem - unless they have originally been saved in other applications that don't follow the file format specifications. Or the files are corrupted.
The other way around can sometimes be tricky because of new features not present in the old version.

How to open a local file from javascript in a jsp-page

Hi
I have created an iview from a PAR file. In the par file I have a jsp-page with some javascript code. From the javascript coe I want to open a new window with an Excel file.
I have tried window.open("c:
test.xls", "test_window"), but it doesn't seem to work. I have created a small HTML page locally with the same command and there a new window opens with the Excel file.
If I change the local file path with an URL it also works.
Any idea how to open a local file ?
Thanks
/Jakob

Jacob,
I'm not 100% (but 99,9%) and it has to do with security ristrictions of the browser not allowing to have local workstation interation from the web. This is ofcourse very dangerous if the browser would allow it... So therfore it is blocked. What if somone would point to a file/executable that formats your drive so for that reason it is not allowed to have web interaction with a local file. Only with Java Applets this is possible but still with many limitations, and what I remember Google Gears and Adobe Air do have some limited web 2 local file interaction... So best and most simple solution you are left with is pointing to a url instead of a file on a c:\ drive.
PS The reason why it works when you start the html from your local PC has todo with the fact that the browser detects that the html is not running in the web at that moment therefor allowing the access.
Cheers,
Benjamin Houttuin

I have a new IMAC with a Maverick platform (I can update to Yosemite). I did all graphics on a G5 Power PC (very old), in Freehand (very old)... 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.

How can I open old cwk files using OS X 10.8.4?

Open old pages

I am using Pages 5.2.2 and OSX 10.9.5. I can't open old pages documents. When I try, I am prompted to open them with Pages 09 first. I don't have Pages 09. Is there any other way to convert old pages files so they can be read with the current version.
When I tried to send an OLD document to a friend to see if they could open and save it with 09 I noticed that QUICKLOOK which is built into mail could display the old Pages document. SO... is there a way to use "Quicklook" to save the file so that it could it be used with out doing the Pages 09 shuffle.
This is ridiculus that there is not a way to read the legacy files directly with the newest version of Pages. Alternatively couldn't Apple just provide a free conversion utility app.

I migrated to a NEW MacBook Pro when I did, it was a clean install and I only brought over my files. I did clean install of all my apps. Because the NEW MacBook Pro does not have a DVD drive I can't install the iWork08 that I have on DVD.
This is maddening it should not require a Herculean effort to read legacy files. Perhaps Apple could make Pages and Numbers 09 available
from the app store. It is Apple that has chosen to move away from discs with MacBooks and Apple is only providing NEW apps via the app store.
This is a mess APPLE caused my the planned obsolescence of the DVD drive and physical media for Applications combined with a complete fail
on supporting their own legacy files.
Peter thanks for the helpful idea but unless I don't have my old MacBook so saving the files as Word docs is not possible.
How can I get an online copy of the 09 apps? Apple does not sell them. I shouldn't have to pay to buy an OLD app just to convert files but...I can't keep hitting my head against the wall either.

Cannot open old Pages documents

Cannot open old Pages documents after installing Yosemite. "The required index.xml file is missing." What happened?

Are you sure you are opening the new iWork apps versions? They keep the old iWork version in case you want to use it again, so you might be opening the wrong version.
Open a Finder window and choose Applications in the sidebar. Then, look for the Pages, Numbers and Keynote icons with the new icon, and open them. You should be able to open your documents without any problem.
To prevent this issue again, drag their icons to the Dock, so you can access to them easily

How to open project from an earlier version (RH x3) using RoboHelp 6.

Hello everyone, I need your help. I have recently upgraded
from RH x3 to RH V6. I have just completed the installation of RH6
after spending long time with Adobe customer support as it took
them long time to figure out how to provide me the unlocking key to
install RH v6.
BTW I have only installed RoboHelp 6 by itself. I did not
install their Source Control because we already have Visual Source
Safe which we have been using in our company.
Also, since I had Adobe Reader 8 installed on my PC, I did
not install Acrobat Element 7 either. As I suppose if Acrobat 7 or
higher is installed RH v6 was not going to install Acrobat Element
7.
Well, now after I have installed RH v6, my first step is to
find out how to open project from an earlier version (RH x3) using
RoboHelp 6.
RH x3 is installed on my old PC and I am working on my new PC
where I have installed RH V6.
Sorry, for providing you too many details, the purpose is
only to give you a clear picture.
Please, give me your feedback if I am doing everything
correct and how should I open the project from an earlier version.
Thanks

Hi Peter,
Thank you so much for the response. Actually, after I posted
the question on Forum we had lost internet connection for some time
and I just went ahead and tried it by myself.
This is what I did – since we use MS Visual Source
Safe, my all files were in the working folder of VSS in my c drive.
I just clicked the Open tab/More Files in RoboHelp Starter and
located the RoboHelp HTML Project File. It opened without any
problem. Everything looks alright.
Is there anything specific I should be checking to make sure
if it is working fine in this version of RH. Because I did not
create this project, somebody else did and I have never used this
tool before this is the first time I will be using.
I found your site pretty helpful though and it did have some
information about Source Safe. I still have one question related to
Visual Source Safe that Is RoboHelp v6 linked to VSS automatically
and check the files out from it automatically whenever a project is
opened or we have to manually set the link between the RH6 &
VSS.
In RH x3 whenever I would open a project it would prompt a
message that in order to open this project the following files need
to be writable, would you like to make them writable, selecting
that option would checkout all the files from the VSS to make them
writable. However, in RH V6 I opened an existing project and it
opened without checking out the project files from VSS. Do you have
any idea what’s happening?
Ps: Do you recommend any book on RH 6 for starters or any
other recommendation?
Your help is always appreciated

You will havwe to sign up for some service that supports rights
management, use protected PDFs via LiveCyle/ Acrobat Connect or learn how
to create your own ePub stuff using Digital Publishing Suite. In any case,
it will probably cost you money upfront before you make any revenue.

How to open a .pse file in photoshop elements?

Hello,
All my previous files were saved as (.psd). Somehow, one of my photoshop elements projects was saved as a (.pse). I can't open it. How can I re open this file and continue working?
Thanks in Advance

A PSD is the standard working file for Photoshop.
A PSE is a project file for Photoshop Elements. These projects are multiple pages. If you are working with a PSE on Windows, there will be a folder along side your PSE that contains a PSD file for each page of the PSE. If you are missing this folder, you won't be able to open the file. The PSE file itself is just instructions on how to open the PSD files as pages of a project. On Mac, all of these files are wrapped up in a single container.
