I cannot open the PPD for Adobe Illustrator 10.0.3

When trying to Set Up Separations in Adobe Illustrator 10.0.3 it is requested to open the PPD for the HP 5000. I have been to:
Library/PPDs/Contents/Resource/en.lproj/HP laserjet 5000 Series.gz
The dialog box comes up: Selected file is not a valid PPD. Please select a different file.
20" iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I'm not sure I can provide you with an answer that will meet your needs as I have no working knowledge of Illustrator. The file:
Library/PPDs/Contents/Resource/en.lproj/HP laserjet 5000 Series.gz
is a gzipped copy of the laserjet 5000 PPD. When a printer queue for that printer is created, the system copies an uncompressed version of this file to /etc/cups/ppd. My guess is that this is the file that Illustrator wants. The one possible problem that I can see is that the /etc/cups/ppd directory is invisible. I don't know if Illustrator allows you to navigate to that directory.
Hopefully someone with Illustrator experience can provide further information.

No, not really. I do get a few error messages when I start up now, but I had transferred everything from my old computer, so figured it was a glitch. The error message was a dialogue box like the others, only it said this:
"Insecure start-up item disabled. Library/Startup Items/.DS_Store/ has not been started because it does not have the proper security settings."
"Insecure start-up item disabled. Library/Startup Items/ES1000Service/ has not been started because it does not have the proper security settings."
"Insecure start-up item disabled. Library/Startup Items/Parallels/ has not been started because it does not have the proper security settings."
I know for sure we have not used Parallels in the past 2 years that I have been here.
As for the other two star-tup items, I am not entirely sure what thier purpose is.
Would any of these have anything to do with it?

Two issues, purchased bamboo fun, disk for adobe has been registered under an old email. cannot access the disk for adobe will not load onto computer states need shockwave, downloaded but the disk says it is not there

with the bamboo fun have disk which has been registered under another old email account. This has compounded by the inability for the adobe photoshop element unable to install onto my pc. it continues to state, cannot install as your pc does not have the shockwave player. I have tried to download this and it states it is installed but cannot open the file.
my question is cannot i have the adobe elements downloaded from internet with the serial numbers, and two need shockwave player to work,

Well if you do not want win7 all together, then just delete all the partitions and install your XP. But if your not wanting to mess up this drive to be able to use the win7 later then just buy a cheap HDD to put XP on. --> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148452 $10 off and free shipping. but being that you already tried installing XP then you already messed up win7 anyways(if you did not make the restore disks), your better off just deleting and redoing XP.

I cannot download the uptade for adobe reader. It looks as if there is a bug. What should I do?

I cannot download the update for ad adobe reader. Why? There is a bug.

Calling it a bug doesn't make it so. More likely something is wrong on your end, but since you haven't provided any info on your system or otehr details, nobody can help you.

trying to download and install iTunes 11 and though it downloads I cannot open it, seems to be frozen, thoughts?

Many thanks diesel. I cannot remember ever having an administrator password. Looks like I shall have to do a restore on my PC and not bother with the updates. Or maybe I could find my password from somewhere ? When I went into control panel I found a box with administrator and my name and it said password protected so I must have had one at some time. Any ideas on how I could find it ? Many thanks anyway. I always use a password to sign on but obviously that is not it. Eileen

I just downloaded an app called "Logos for Adobe Illustrator thinking I would be able to design a logo? I can't even figure out hot to start a new project! Did I buy the wrong app?

Did I just waste $30 buying something called "Logos for Adobe Illustrator?" Do I need something else, some other program, to make it work?

Jill,
Presumably, you can create a new document, then File>Place one the templates, then edit it or whatever.
But maybe you should click the Logos for Adobe Illustrator® Support link here:
Mac App Store - Logos for Adobe Illustrator®
Whether it is a waste depends on the quality of the templates and the extent to which you wish to create your own one and only artwork.

Having installed an upgrade for Photoshop Elements 13, I cannot open the application. I get an error message saying "Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X".
I have since uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but get the same error message.

Which version of OS X do you have? It's not clear from your post whether "installed an upgrade" means you just installed PSE 13 as an upgrade or you installed an update to PSE 13, like ACR 9 or 13.1. Please clarify.

How do I resolve the issue Cannot open the file ".indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file for

How do I resolve the issue Cannot open the file ".indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing , or the file may be open in another application?

Shouldn't the CC version be able to open any file created in an older version on InDesign?
Yes, it ought to.
If the older file wasn't yours (if someone emailed it to you,or burned it on a disc, or whatever), then I am almost willing to bet you a beverage in the city of your choice that it's not a complete InDesign file. That is, maybe it was zipped and renamed, or the beginning or end of the file was chopped off during download, or something like that. The only reason I'm not actually making the bet is that there is a remote chance that I'd lose, and maybe you're in Adelaide or Khabarovsk or somewhere where the cost of airfare to me would make that bet a very expensive bet for me to to lose. So no latte for you if I'm wrong!
The script that Jongware posted will tell you what version of InDesign made the file to begin with. Additionally, if someone did something like rename YourFile.PDF to YourFIle.INDD, it'll report that it's Not An InDesign File. Because while SpectrumPCS is kinda right and that message can be generated when attempting to open a CS5 file in CS3 or whatever, it also spits out the same message when you just try to open an Autocad file, or a Windows system file, or a PDF, or any file that InDesign actually cannot open at all.

CS4 "You cannot open the application Adobe InDesign CS4 because it is not supported on this archit

Just installed CS4. Ai and Ps open fine. i get this prompt with InDesign.
You cannot open the application Adobe InDesign CS4 because it is not supported on this architecture.
any clues on how resolve this?
thanks!

I'm having exactly the same problem with InDesign from CS4 Design Standard (Photoshop and Illustrator both work), and I don't know what to do. I've called up the Adobe support line five times, and received five different answers, none of which have worked (and on three other occasions, my call was dropped, once after an hour on hold).
One of the Adobe tech support people said to me "None of CS4 works with either 10.5.8 or Snow Leopard. We will issue a patch for that soon" - which directly contradicts what Adobe itself says on this site. I also went to see a Mac Genius, who couldn't help either.
I have a 2GHz Macbook with 2GB RAM running 10.5.8. I've run the uninstall, and the Adobe Clean Script, I've repaired permissions on my drive (which isn't case sensitive), restarted, reinstalled, tried installing on an external drive and then tried downloading the trial, in case it's the install CD - nothing works.
Any suggestions, anyone? Might there be a problem with my library that is stopping the install? Something else?? I bought CS4 for InDesign primarily, this is not good.

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.
