How to open Pages files from previous versions?

Can anyone tell me how to open a pages file I made on Pages '09? I don't remember uninstalling that version of Pages, so I'm guessing the current version just wrote over it. Anyway, it won't let me open those files, which is puzzling since I can open Office documents from that time period. Thanks.

Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Note: Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

CS6 is not opening multipage files from previous versions

Good day, we have recently updated to the Creative Suite CS6. One of the users are unable to open multipage files that was designed in previous versions of Indesign. (we have 3 users and only 1 is having this problem. ) It is not giving a specific error code.

OK, it looks like it is not a user issue, so it's most likely a software conflict or a corrupt install.
Do you have any non-Adobe plugins installed? Does it work if you run MSConfig and turn off all non-essential startup programs and services, including anti-virus, and browser plugins?

How to open "All Tabs" from previously shown pages history?

Hi,
How to open "All Tabs" from previously shown pages history. I am not asking about "Reopen from last session". I am asking about how to open all tabs from previous webpage links from a past date from history, currently its allowing me to select each page link manually by clicking it.
Thank you!

Select the first item you wish to open, scroll down to the last, Shift-click that one & all those between should be selected too. Double-click on them & they should all start to open... or you can copy & then drag/paste into a new or existing bookmarks folder.

I can't get pages 5.01 to open pages files from iCloud, although they open in iCloud Pages without difficulty.

I can't get Pages 5.01 to open Pages files from iCloud, although they open in iCloud Pages without difficulty.
I am using the most up to date version of Mavericks and Pages and can log into iCloud without any problems. Is this just a glitch? The files all behaved properly under previous versions and the initial release of the new version of Pages.

Pages for iCloud beta is a weird beast and as it says "beta".
I think it is the least compatible of all the many different .pages files floating around out there.

I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing".

I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing". Original file is written on iMac (2014) and saved to an USB stick and then transferred till macBook Pro (2009, Yosemite) for editing. Then I shared the files by iCloud but I am not able to open them on iMac again. Niether can I use the USB stick to transfer the edited files back. I'm running Pages '09 4,1 (923) on the macBook and Pges 5.5.2 (2120) on the iMac.
Håkan

Pages 5.5.2 is extremely incompatible with even other Macs let alone the vast majority of PC and MsWord users out there, so not a good idea to leap into the fire with both eyes shut.
After having done that to the first Pages 5 files, Apple has repeatedly done it to even the most minor point updates. Apple can't even anticipate its own erratic changes let alone what everyone else needs doing.

I installed the InDesign CC Testversion and now i try to open INDD-Files from earlier Version. Always i get the error "This file is made by an earlier Version...." but it´s CC that is the latest Version. What is the problem ? Should i have to convert the files ?

Adobe has been using confusing version names for at least five years.
There are now two versions labeled CC, version 9 and version 10 (also known as CC 2014). Version 10 is the latest, and if you attempt to open a version 10 file in Version 9 that is not fully patched you will get an error message telling you that the file cannot be opened. The latest patch for version 9 should use a cloud-based service at Adobe to convert version 10 files to IDML and allow you to open that.
I suspect you may be using an older operating system. Version 10 requires that your system runs at least OS X 10.7 or Windows 7 SP1 and if you are not it will not even be offered to you.

How to open *.CR2 files from new 60D ??

My Elements 7 will not open or recognize CR2 files from my new 60D. Nor will it allow me to open CR2 files in another format. I get error messages saying they are "the wrong type of file" or that a codec is missing. It opens CR2 files from my two Rebels just fine. I have downloaded the most recent codec (1.7.0) I can find from Canon to no avail. I downloaded a trial version of Elements 9 - same problem. Am I doing something incorrectly?
Thanks, JackM

Well, after downloading - and purchasing - PE9, and downloading ACR 6.2, am still having the same problem; not recognizing the 60D CR2 files. I have actually downloaded the 6.2 several times, with and without unzipping and extracting files, to no effect. I will try calling Adobe Monday to see what the heck is going on. This is extremely disappointing.
I may have to resort to use DPP for raw conversion, save as a TIFF, then open in PE for editing (this does work). If that's my only option, I hope Adobe will refund my purchase price. I'll try to keep you updated on what happens.
Thanks for your help.

You can place your file in /WEB-INF and use
          ServletContext.getResourceAsStream("WEB-INF/...") to read it, or,
          if it is in the classpath (classes ir lib), you can use
          Class.getResourceAsStream().

Convert file from previous version of premiere

I've recently updated Premiere CC through the updater and now it won't convert a file the previous version

Hi fealy88,
The new Premiere Pro 8.1 or 2014.1 will convert your Project files as soon as you open a Project created in Previous version of Premiere Pro including Premiere Pro 8.0.1 or 2014.0.1. So, if you have created a project in 8.0.1 and you open it in 8.1 it will give you a prompt to rename the file. Once you save it, you cannot open it in any Previous version of Premiere Pro including 8.0.1. This change is made in the 8.1 update, before this it was possible to open a Project created in the latter update into the former update and Vice Versa.
Regards,
Vinay

What versions of After Effects can open project files from which versions?

Since this question comes up a lot, I just created this article that gives the details for all of the versions going back to After Effects 7.0:
"opening After Effects projects from previous versions and saving back to previous versions"

Please look at the Oracle Text reference manual for a list. Ultra Search uses the INSO filters of the underlying Text engine.

How to open a file from thumbdrive by Java!

Can anyone reply me the Java sample code to open a file from thumbdrive. Currently I can only open files from my "C"Drive. The Drive which I will be using for my thumbdrive is F Drive.
Thank you!

Currently I need to make changes to this code so that it can read the "my file" from my f drive instead of the c drive.
/public class Main {
public Main() {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
//Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start myfile.doc");
//Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start \"myfile.doc\"");
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start myfile.pps");
//Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start myfile.xls");
//Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start myfile.pdf");
//Runtime.getRuntime().exec("myfile.doc");
catch (Exception x) {
x.printStackTrace();
catch (Error e) {

Cannot open Project files from previous FCPX versions

Hello,
I'm currently on 10.0.8, and have not upgraded to 10.1.1. Here is my issue:
A documentary project I've been working on since 10.0.1 is not showing up in 10.0.8, and I'm wondering how to "manually" update the Project. I upgraded FCPX versions a few times while working on this Project (I think all the way up to 10.0.4), but then I stopped as I noticed it was negatively affecting parts of my project and making the application run slow (and Apple recommends you don't update versions while in the middle of a project). I finished that project, but now fast forward and I'm in 10.0.8 and I need to revisit that Project to make a few changes, but FCPX won't even recognize it. It successfully updated and recognizes the Events I used for this particular Project, but not the Project itself.
Any help/suggestions would be great.
Thank you!

Thanks Russ. After all this time, I actually solved the problem myself. I forgot that back 6 months ago, I renamed my Project file, from the default "CurrentVersion". I just came across another post that said you're not supposed to do that, so I changed my Project file back to "CurrentVersion" and now FCPX recognizes it. After all that toil, the answer was just too simple!!
Thanks.
