I cannot open many files created in CS5 into CS4

How do I overcome that

In each case I created a CS5 file and saved all its layers as .psd. I then flattened the file and saved it as .jpg. These files appear in windows explorer. When I load CS5 and click File/Open the window shows those files. But when I load CS4 and click File/Open the window showing the contents of that same folder does not include some of those files whether "Files of type" is set at psd, jpg, or all formats. If, however, I go to that folder that has the file using Windows Explorer, right click on it, and tell it to open with CS4 it does open in CS4. Hold on a sec. I just discovered something. The folder contains some files which are modifications of original files which have the same name as the original but with v2 or v3 or v4 appended to the name. It is those which do not show up when I load CS4 and click on File/Open. Curiouser and curiouser. Any ideas?

Can you open Dreamweaver files created in CS5 in CS4?

Does anyone know if it is possible to backsave a CS5 Dreamweaver file to be compatible with CS4???
Any help is much appreciated!

No conversion is required.
Dreamweaver creates HTML and CSS files which are plain text (readable by humans) and can even be opened in a text editor.
There is no proprietary code or file format like there is in Microsoft Word.

Cannot open indd file in either CS5 or CS5.5

I downloaded CS5.5 on my laptop this afternoon. I then opened a CS5 file, worked on it, then saved. Now I cannot open the file in either CS5 or CS5.5. Is says InDEsign may not support the file format, the file is missing, or it is opened in anaother application. Does anyone know how I can open this file?

Just to be clear:
It won't open in either version. I created the file in CS5 (school computer lab), worked on it in CS5.5 (on my personal laptop connected through the server), then tried to open it on a school coputer using CS5. The file will not open.
Once you edit a CS5 file in CS5.5, it becomes a CS5.5 file and you will not be able to open it in CS5.
Make sure you are running the version you think you are, and don't double-click the file, but actually use File > Open from within InDesign CS5.5.

CS6 AI Cannot open a file saved from CS5 AI

Had tried to save and rename the file and place in the local C: harddrive, filename only English letters. Doesn't work.
Had uninstalled completely the CS6 Master collection and CC cleaner tools and reinstall the CS6 again, but problem still there.
Using Win8.1 Pro 64bit desktop at home.
Acrobat X Pro can open the AI file !
I am going to reinstall back the old version CS5 Design Premium to keep my work going on.
Is there a solution for this problem up to now ?

Hi Peter,
I'm guessing it might have been a network corruption problem. She brought in her laptop, we made another .idml file and loaded it to a USB stick, then transferred it to my computer. The file opened just fine. And yes, she had pasted all her images, so we have her collecting the bits and pieces for me to review and relink everything. I believe I have the patch, but will double-check. Thanks!

CC cannot open a file created in latest version

I subscribe to CC. I tried to open a file from a client. I got a message saying I couldn't open it "because it was saved with a newer version of Adobe InDesign CC (9.1)". I hit the update button in InDesign multiple times and no updates for InDesign appear. I check my (PC) version and it is 8.0.2. My question is whether since my client uses a Mac is it possible that Adobe has a newer version(9.1)available for Mac which then cannot be opened on the newest PC (8.0.2) version?
If that guess is wrong, does anyone have any idea what might be the problem?

version 8.x is CS6... download the CS6 CC exchange app.
wait a min: thats something else

Cannot open .odc files created by another user - Unexpected error

I have exported an .odc file from Excel into a shared Data Connection Library. The connection file works fine for myself and the data refreshes, however when another user tries to either open the .odc file direct from the Library or refresh
the data from the excel file they receive an error.
I have checked the Sharepoint permissions and all the users attempting to access the connection file have the same as myself. The library has also been saved as a Trusted Location by each user and the Excel Services Authentication when the .odc
file was created was set as the standard Windows Authentication.
I asked a user to create another .odc file for the same data and they were able to save this into the connection library. However the same error occurs when I try to access this new file. The error I recieve is 'An unexpected error has occured. Changes to
your data cannot be saved'. I can open the connection files that I have created but not ones that others have.
I am only an end user so I don't have access to Central Administraion to configure the Unattended Account in the Excel Service Administration page as suggested in another post.
So is there any other way around this issue?
Thanks.

Hi,
An ODC file is just a txt file and can be opened with notepad to edit. A Data Connection Library needs to be Trusted via Central Administration, Manage Service Applications, Excel Services Application, Trusted Data Connection Libraries, Click Add Trusted
Data Connection Library. However, you should still be able to open someone else's ODC file unless its been saved as a draft?

Can't open DNG files created with Mac CS5 downloader in Mac CS4 Photoshop

I recently installed CS5 on my mac but I kept CS4 installed as well. I notice that I cannot open DNG files created with CS5 in Photoshop CS4. Bridge CS4 shows the files only as icons - no image thumbnails. I am able to open these same files on a Windows version of CS4. Is there some plugin for my mac CS4 that will enable me to access the DNG files created with CS5? Is there a way to use my CS5 downloader when converting my raw files from my camera to DNG files that will make them compatiple with PS and Bridge CS4?

Well, yes...but you'll need to modify your DNG Converter prefs to allow for that. You''ll need a recent (ideally current DNG Converter 6.4.1 or above) and click on the DNG Converter preferences and select the correct DNG Converter options. Check DNG Converter 6.4.1 (the current version) and click on "Change Preferences" to be sure select Camera Raw 5.4 and later then make sure CS4 is updated to ACR 5.7 (which is the last version of ACR for CS4) However, the changes made to ACR 6.x really should be adopted since IQ for ACR 6.4.x is a lot better...

I am running InDesign CS5.5 and trying to open an In Design File but getting an error message. " Cannot open the file "PDavidLCover.indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file me be open in another application."Please help I really need to get this file open.

Since you've shown us the folder contents it's a good bet it isn't in use (no lock file). And it doesn't look like the file is mis-named as there doesn't seem to be anything else there that would be the .indd file (but just in case, open it in TextEdit and paste the first few lines here so we can see what the file header says), so the most likely case is the file is damaged. Is that on a removable device of some sort?
You can try the tool at Repair corrupt InDesign Adobe files on Mac OS X or send me a link to the file by private message and I'll try the recovery tool I have for Windows.

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.

I have updated to Keynote 6.1, but I still have 5.3 and I cannot open the file I just created in 6.1.

I have updated to Keynote 6.1, my App Store says I did it 2/1/14, I just created a new slideshow in 6.1 tonight, saved it all the way through while creating it, and when finished, saved it one more time, and closed the file. I treid to open it again, but I get an error message stating I need a newer version of Keynote to open the presentation. I check the "About Keynote", and apparently I still have 5.3 and I cannot open the file I just created in 6.1. I try changing the file to open with 5.3, but it won't do that either! The App Store won't let me re-download it. How do I get 6.1 back??? I need to reopen the file I just created.

I am finding that when I launch keynote from the Docking Station and it opens Keynote 5.3, so I command Q and close it. I then go to Finder, go to the Keynote slideshow I created in 6.1 and now cannot open, and CAN open the slideshow from Finder, which it actually open the file in Keynote 6.1.
I emptied my Trash.
What the heck is up with this???? And how do I fix it??

If you plan on collaborating with other users who have progressed with the technology you are gong to have to upgrade. There is simply no way any longer to continue with XP and CS2 except in isolation.

Why doesn't Photoshop CS4 open DNG files created in Photoshop CS5?

I download raw photo files from my Leica Dlux 4 and convert the Leica raw files to DNG files using CS5 Bridge. Recently I discovered that when I try to access these DNG files in Photoshop CS4 I get a message saying 'cannot access this file'. The files also do not show up as thumbnails in CS4 Bridge. Do I need an upgrade or a plug in to see DNG files created in CS5 Bridge in Photoshop CS4?

System: Windows 7
Third party plug-ins: Not to my knowledge?
Quicktime: I believe so.
Save Method: I save as two copies, one in the default Photoshop format (PSD) and then I hit "save as" to save as PNG.

Can I open psd files created in Photoshop CC with lower version? Actually CS5.

Can I open psd files created in Photoshop CC with lower version? Actually CS5.
My home and office have different version each.

Yes, PROVIDED that the file has not been saved with any layers containing any of the specific new features introduced starting with Photoshop CC and higher.
If the file has been flattened or if it was flat to begin with there will be no problems.

Can files created in cs5.5 design premium be saved so they open in Photoshop CS2 or Illustrator CS4?

Can files created in cs5.5 design premium be saved so they open in Photoshop CS2 or Illustrator CS4?

Yes, you can save compatible files as long as you obey the rules like not using unsupported features such as nested groups, per group clipping masks, smart objects and several other things in Photoshop and use the "Maximize Compatibility" option. Illustrator will simply expand the appearance of objects or rasterize/ flatten them when going back to older versions if a feature is not available or changed in those old versions.
