Idml file wont open

I can't get this file to open it says that there's a missing plug in .It was saved from cs6 as an idml file but now I can't get that to open. It doesn't say what plug in is missing either for me to try and figure it out? Any suggestions? I tried opening in CS3, cs5.5 cs6 and cs7 and got the same error.

did anyone resolve this issue?
I am using CC indesign and saving files to IDML.
When i try to reopen that file with CC indesign, the software freezes and pretty much crashes.
Opening it with CS6, there is no issues.
What doesnt make any sense is that when i am saving with CC, i assume i should be able to reopen it with CC.
but it does not allow me to do so.
Does anyone know the cause?
I can only find information of the opposite of what i am asking. So i assume i am the only one having this stupid issue.
I am unable to contact adobe myself, if someone could please help me resolve this issue!
Thanks

@slim617 – hard to tell what's going wrong.
What is the exact version of CC?
What is your version of OS?
Did you try to open the IDML file with the current version of CC 2014? v.10.2.0.69

.idml file wont open - Resolve missing plugin errors in CS5 & 6

Hi everyone, I'm a designer based in the UK.
Ok I designed a 30 page brochure in iD CS6.
I then saved it out as an .idml file as I needed to take it to another desktop computer (mac) running CS5, I did this over several days & it worked fine!
I made a pdf this morning & saved, upon saving it may have crashed & not saved 100%.
When trying to open he file now at either location on both ID CS6/5 I get the same message everyone gets...
"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."
I NEED this file as its contents are vital. I wanna scream but resisting the temptation thus far!
Can anyone help? Reading through the forum there seems many options however I cant seem to get any to work? Any help or recovery of this file will be my saving grace!
I'm happy to mail the .idml file off topic for someone to take a look at?
File size is only 8kb
I fear the worst but am holding on for dear life!
Kind regards
Chris

Ok thanks Bob, anyone else for breakfast?
Toast is on the menu... BURNT!
Luckily I still have all the elements & can rip all the text out of the PDF to populate it again, just needs formatting... just a set back!
For future reference, when working on latest versions of iD eg: CS6, then switching back to odler versions CS5 for example... what is the best format to save the files in when flipping from machine to machine/verion to version?
I know dont do it, but I have too due to my comimitments.
I know its not condusive to work on multiple machines via a USB drive... but Im crazy busy!!!
Thanks again Bob

I have recently updated my CC programs to the latest version and now all of my files wont open by default into their respective programs, only if I open the program and go to file open and open the file from there. How can I fix this?

I have recently updated my CC programs to the latest version (CC2014) and now all of my files wont open by default into their respective programs, only if I open the program and go to file>open and open the file from there. How can I fix this?
I have tried 'Open with' and the version of the program now installed on my computer isn't even suggested as an option and when I browse for it, the file wont open with it anyway

On Windows (don't know about Mac), the latest version will always take over the file association, and become the default for indd files. It's impossible to change it.
But there is a plugin for ID that makes this possible. Never tried it myself.

As a happy user of the Matrox RT.X2 for many years, and later an equally happy user of a Matrox MXO2, I can say from experience that it is highly unlikely that this problem has anything to do with the Matrox hardware!
Can you open a new blank project, and save it?
If you cannot import your faulty project into a new project, can you import the sequence from your faulty project?
Have you tried clearing the Media Cache, clearing your preferences, etc. - all among the techniques used to resurrect a Premiere Pro project that has gone bad???

How can I save an indd file as an idml file without opening the document?

I cannot open an InDesign file that was made in a later version of InDesign because I don't have the right plugins. How can I convert this indd file to an idml file without opening it?

Well..... sort of depends on your version.
If you have any version as part of CC subscription, the latest updates are supposed to be using a cloud-based service to generate the IDML for you so that you can open the newer files seamlessly.

Quicktime file wont open in keynote

hello,
I have a quicktime (olderversion) i need to give to a friend who has Tiger with quicktime 7 and keynote.
he wants to open the quicktime in keynote and use for a presentation.
anyone know why it wont open in keynote??/

Open the file (on your machine) using QuickTime Player. Open the Movie Info window and note the type of file format (.avi, .mpg etc.) and the sound and video codecs used.
If you find third party codecs (Divx etc.) the Keynote user will need those codecs before they can view the file. Once it can be displayed using QT Keynote should also be able to import the file.

Pages Crashed, now file wont open

I'm running Pages 2.0.2 on my G5 Dual 2.0 PPC, OS X 10.4.5
Help!
I was working on a 40-ish page document in Pages. I then duplicated the document on my hard drive and double clicked to open the duplicate. My plan was to scroll through the pages of the duplicate and update the page references in the index of the original document. I've done this before no problem.
On this occassion Pages quit. Now the original document wont open and I fear I've lost everything! The progress bar nearly gets to the end and it looks like the document is going to open, then I get a message saying that Pages has quit. Everytime I try it, same message.
I've repaired permissions - no joy. Also Pages works ok - all my other documents open no problem.
Any suggestions? - The files in the document package appear to be named correctly as far as I can tell. I'm desperate to get the data back.

Are these MPEG, or VOB's? If so, this Adobe KB Article might help.
If they are M2t files, then this ARTICLE might help.

My raw files wont open in pse8 or dng 6.4, why not?

hi all,
I've got a sony 580 and I cant get my raw files to open in either pse 8 or dng 6.4.
I've updated the camera raw plug-in to 6.2.0.29, which i understand does not have support for the 580.
But the troubleshoot says to try dng instead which does list the 580 in its supported cameras.
any ideas why it wont work.
incidentally i find it very sharp practice for adobe to not support a major manufacturers raw files in a piece of software that's really not that old. (even if its not the mosr recent version of pse). I would not have purchased it if i knew i would have to upgrade every time i changed the camera body i'm using

thanks for the reply noel,
the camera body and pse8 were purchased a couple of months apart, so not really intending to replace either anytime soon......
my issue with it not working is mainly frustration i guess.... having spent a lot of money on the camera i did hope that the industry leading photoediting software (albeit the cut-down version) would work with it without any problems. I'm very happy with pse's performance once i can actually open a file lol
When i go to the folder where i have the raw files stored and try to open with dng it doesn't show any files. (yes they are definitely in there, they can be seen fine in windows explorer, and picasa will quite happily open them)
the version of dng is 6.4.0.139
the source folder says ' no items match your search ' when i select it

Raw file wont open

adobe photoshop elements 11 wont open my raw files taken on my canon eos 70D. i have updated my soft ware and checked raw file , i have version 7.4.0.137.
thanks stew.p

See that faq:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1030798?tstart=0
The 70D requires the ACR 8.2 version, which can't be installed in PSE11.
Your choice :
- upgrade to PSE12, provided you are not on XP or Vista, then update the ACR module from 8.0 to 8.2 by using the help menu, update.
- use the free Adobe DNG converter to batch convert whole folders of raw files to the DNG format that PSE11 can read
- Use the Canon software to convert to tiff and edit in the PSE editor.

Itunes file wont open

so im trying to install itunes to my computer and when i enter my email adress to download it.the file doesnt open .i dont get it plizzz help .!!!!!!!!!

OK-
First, let's get your iTunes open.
Click on Start, Click on Run
Type msconfig
Click on the startup tab (last one on the right)
Click on "disable all"
Click apply, then click close
Go ahead and restart your computer when prompted to do so
When your computer starts back up, you should be able to open up your iTunes. When it opens, close it again. Now that we know it is able to open, it needs to be closed in order to resolve the file folder with exclamation point error.
Now, let's get that file folder issue resolved.
Click start, click all programs, click iPod, click iPod updater, click iPod updater (again)
Click OK when you see the dialogue that tells you what the application's capabilities are
Connect your iPod when it tells you to
Click on the "restore" button when it becomes available
IF the restore button does not become available, and if the iPod updater fails to recognize the iPod, disconnect it. Reset the iPod by (making sure the hold switch is off) pressing the menu button and the select button at the same time for about 10 seconds, until you get the Apple logo. As soon as you get the Apple logo, hold down the select button and the play/pause button together until you get a check mark on the screen. You may have to try this several times to get it to work... and sometimes it helps to lay the iPod down on a hard flat surface, like a table or your computer desk.
Once you get the iPod into disk mode, you can go ahead and try to restore it again. (Start > All Programs > iPod > iPod Updater > iPod Udpater) Click OK, Connect your iPod when it asks you to do so, and then click the restore button when it becomes available.
If you're still having issues, try reading through some of the following articles:

Migrated files wont open or error msg

I used migration asst to migrate files from Imac power pcG3 (OS 10.3.9 and classic 9.2.2 installed) to my new imac G5 intel. I selected " move files and folders only" but everything migrated. When i try to open old files, some open, others give msg " this file is locked or in use. Would you like to open a copy?". These are appleworks WP files. when i try to move any migrated file to the trash, i get msg "finder requires you to type your password".
I installed office:mac 2004 on new computer. since migration, it hangs up, cant close documents, have to force quit.
G5 intel Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Did you set the same username/password combo you used on the old iMac on the new iMac? If not, those belong to the old user, which should be available on the new machine, and not the new user, that's why you need to authenticate to trash them. Since you just got the new machine, you might consider restoring the new machine to the factory condition, using the same username/password combo on the old one, if you still have the old iMac, and using the Migration Assistant again.
As for the AW files, did you create them using the OS 9 version? Since the Intel-Macs can't run classic, you're probably out of luck opening them. If you still have the old iMac, you should open the AW files with the OS X version 6.2.8, convert them, and copy them over to the new machine. Then try to open them with the OS X version.

How to save down an .idml file to open as .idd in CS3?

I'm using a G5 (PPC), OS 10.5.8 and CS3 (v 5.0.4) an recently received client files that were created in InDesign 5 and saved as .idml. What are the steps necessary to save them down to InDesign CS3 version, so I can open them and modify? The other party does not have CS4 or 3 available anymore.
PS. We tried upgrading just InDesign to 5.5, but that ended up with 3 days worth of lost upgrades, updates, research and $150 worth of software we can't use and we are still at point zero.
Quick response is of the essence since we have a client waiting on their proofs.
Thank you.

As you've no doubt by now realized, InDesign 5/5.5 only runs on a Mac Intel machine. CS4 was the last version to also run on a G5 PPC.
Whether you use InDesign, QuarkXpress, PageMaker, the inability to move files backward more than 1 version has always been an issue for the last 25 years.
Its always been this way and if isn't going to change.
If you want to be able to accept & work on newer files from clients it is necessary to upgrade on a regular basis.
I know your boss won't be happy about buying a new Mac and also upgrading regularly but its the price of doing business.
Buying an upgrade for $150 or so every 18 months is a very small price to pay for the ability to keep your clients happy.
The longer you go between upgrades the harder, or in this case the impossibility of getting newer files into an old version like CS3
(Peter is a nice guy for helping you out this one time, but this is NOT a viable solution)
Clients will go elsewhere if you tell them they have to convert their file not once but twice just for you to be able to receive & work on them.
A hypothetical - If your boss was paying a company to provide a service for him and they starting making him jump through hoops just to accept his work, how long do you think your boss would put up with the hassle before he threw up his arms and said "Forget it! I'm taking my business someplace else!"
This is the same situation that you are presenting to your clients.
Maybe this can convince him to upgrade.
You could get a Mac Mini or iMac and run Creative Suite without issues. You might not want to edit video on a Mini, but it is more that up to the task of running InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat, etc.
The old G5 PPC is getting long in the tooth. A new Mac Mini should also be able to work for your needs for years. Trust me on this,we've all been there!
Many people that had a tower G4 or G5 in the past realize that a new MacPro is out of the price range for most people.
They get an iMac or a Mini and don't look back.
The basic Mini has an Intel Dual Core i5 processor starts at $599,
You already have the CS 5.5 upgrade so you just need a new computer.
Good Luck!!!
