In CS4, "Cannot open file" "Please upgrade your plug-ins..."

Greetings,
I am using InDesign CS4 on a PC. I am trying to open an .indd file created by our marketing department. I don't know what version of InDesign they use nor whether they work on Macs or PCs.
When I double-click to open the file, I get a "Cannot Open File" popup box. The box reads "Cannot open docname.indd. Please upgrade your plug-ins to their latest versions, or upgrade to the latest version of Adobe InDesign." It then lists 18 different plugins:
ASSIGNMENTS.RPLN
TEXT.RPLN
SPREAD.RPLN
MASTER PAGE.RPLN
TEXT ATTRIBUTES.RPLN
.... and 13 more.
When I go to Help > Configure Plug-Ins, I can see that I do have all of these plug-ins. But apparently they are not the latest versions.
Anyone know how I can update these plugins? I have searched for them on the Adobe website, but no joy.
Thanks in advance.
Jen

It's a safe bet that they are working in CS5. The only way to get those plugins is to install CS5 on your machine.
You could ask your marketing department to export an IDML file from CS5, which you can open up in CS4, but it might fail horribly (and it's guaranteed to lay out incorrectly if they've used any tools in CS5 that aren't in CS4). If you rely on this workflow, by regularly using a document going back and forth between CS5 and CS4, chances are very, very good that it will fail at a critical moment. The only really safe thing to do here is to get everyone using the same version of InDesign.

CS4 cannot open CS4 file - upgrade plugins

I HAVE searched the forum, but cannot find a real answer to this...
I've been given an .indd file. It was created in CS4. I am attempting to open it with CS4.
I get that message "Cannot open "name.indd". Please upgrade your plug-ins to their latest versions, or upgrade to the latest version of Adobe InDesign"
I have the latest upgrade of CS4, as does the author of the document. I see the plugins in the Plug-Ins folder.
What do I need to do to be able to open this file? (Actually there are about 20 of these "unopenable" documents)
Thanks!
(I am new to InDesign. My company uses Quark.)

OK. It's posted at:

InCopy CS4 and InDesign CS4 cannot open file at the same time!

I have 2 editors that make changes in my indd file. The one editor is able to open the file concurrently with myself (i'm in indesign) just fine. But when the other editor wants to open the file....I cannot open the indd file and vice versa. We are PC based.
shane

Yes, we are all working on the same server.
And Yes on the Editor A / scenario 1 (Designer opens file and Editor A opens file concurrently). works fine.
Editor A closes out of Incopy and so does Designer. Editor B opens the file and Designer tries to open the indd file and now the designer gets the warning: Cannot open document. You may not have permission or the document may be open already. This is the same error if the Designer opens the file first and Editor B tries to open it while the designer has it open.
Editor A and B are able to have the file open at the same time no problem.
Also this happens to all indd files that Editor B tries to open. So it is not linked to a problem with the file.
one other note: on the server just above the indd file...when Editor B has the indd open in InCopy... a 'temporary' Indesign Lock File appears.

InDesign Cs4 "Cannot Open File"

Trying to open a .idd file with Cs4, but receive this message. I have checked to make sure I have all updates and I do. If this file was made in Cs5 or Cs6, it should still be compatible with Cs4. Can anyone give me some advice?

My guess is it's a CS6 file since it mentions form fields in the list, but you can use Jongware's tool to find out: Adobe Forums: [Ann] Identify Your InDesign File
Your OS cannot identify a file as anything newer than the most recent version you've installed, which leads to a lot of confusion, and no, newer versions are not backward compatible -- never have been in ID. To move files back to earlier versions they must be exported as interchange format files from the version where they were saved. Since CS4 that has been .idml, and all versions of ID since CS4 can read .idml exported from any version, but unsupported features from newer documetns will be lost and text will probably reflow, so you shouldn't have any expectations of a perfect conversion.

CS4--Cannot Open JPGs directly into PS

I'm using Vista 32. After updating to CS4 I can no longer open jpg files directly into PS by clicking on the file in windows explorer or an e-mail. After much searching and looking for file associations, I was able to get jpgs to open into Bridge from windows explorer, but still cannot get them to open directly in PS. When I attempt to open a jpg from an e-mail message, I get a window in Bridge pointed to a temp folder. I did not have this problem with CS3, but am really at a loss for a fix. Anyway know what to do???
TIA,
Fran

Thank you to all for suggestions. I am posting the solution in case other people run into the same problem. This is a registry issue. Run CCleaner until there are no problems to fix. You will then be able to use "open with" to associate both the psd and jpg files with CS4. At least, it worked for me.

Illustrator CS4: Images Open 3x Smaller than Original

Every time I open an image in Illustrator, it is 3-times smaller than the original image started out.
For example:
An image starting out with the dimensions:
Width: 5.35 inches / 1070 px / 385.2 pt
Height: 5.24 inches / 1048 px / 377.3 pt
Once it is opened up in Illustrator the dimensions are contorted to:
Width: 1.93 inches / 386 px / 139 pt
Height: 1.89 inches / 378 px / 136.1 pt
And this is just from opening the image. I have not done anything as of yet. All I have to look at is a distorted pixelated mess.
I am a bit new to Illustrator, and after hearing my friends talk about how great it is to use, none of them can figure out why Illustrator is doing this to my image files.
Why is Illustrator doing this, and how do I get it to open image files with the proper dimensions?

Dimensions of an image depends on its resolution. When viewing the image in an image editor it just displays 1 image pixel on 1 monitor pixel. Illustrator doesn't do this, but takes into account, what you have defined as resolution. That is: how many pixels should be on 1 inch.

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.

Upgraded to Yosemite now I cannot open PSD files on illustrator. Please help

I recently upgraded to Yosemite on my Mac and now when I open Illustrator I cannot open psd files. The error message I get when I open illustrator is "Error Loading Plugins. PhotoshopImport.aip"
Is there a fix for this? I cannot afford to upgrade my CS4 at this time.
Thanks.
M

Thanks Larry - the issue is that I need to keep all of the layers (there are a lot of them) and when I save as pdf it flattens the image. Is there no way to be able to open PSD files now that I upgraded to Yosemite?
Thanks again.

In Illustrator CS4 in Mac OS 10.6.2 my windows are blank

When I open Illustrator CS4, and open a new or older document, the windows (action, brushes, layers, pathfinder, etc) are blank. If I close and reopen Illustrator I have a 50/50 chance that they will appear. At times I have had to close and reopen numerous times. Any thoughts? No new hardware or programs added since installation of CS4.(I already uninstalled and re-installed)

Dumping preferences was done. Restarting as you suggested has opened another symptom - I do not get a dialog box and most plugins don't load. I can use the program but with limited features. I have restarted normally for twenty times in a row and the windows are showing. So we shall see.
Hopefully it will behave itself.
Thanks,
jm

Adobe Illustrator CS4 Low resolution

Hey all,
When I launch adobe illustrator cs4 it opens in a very low resolution.
I'm running Adobe Illustrator CS4 it on my Lenovo Y510P, Windows 8 (64bit), screen resolution set to 1920x1080
Running Photoshop CS4 on the contrary opens in full hd resolution.
I was unable to find a working solution on the web, all solutions i found were not relevant in CS4.
I would very much appreciate your help.
Screenshots:
Photoshop is sharp and HD, Illustrator is blurred and low resolution

I see no difference in sharpness/crispness between the screenshots.
Actually there is. It's not really loss of resolution, but rather some sort of secondary antialiasing. This would normally happen with specific color management settings or application specific graphics card profiles that are unsuitable. I'd look into that.

Illustrator CS4 File Not Found Issue

I have always been able to Right Click and Open With Illustrator CS4 to open and edit PDFs.
Recently I get an error window stating File Cound Not Be Found.
I can open it with no issue going through the File>Open....preocedure.

I had some success. The file could not be found message is gone and Illustratro opens. However, it open to a blank document with the start screen up.
It is the same thing as if i had just opened Illustrator from the .exe icon, but the file I wanted to work with does not appear, so i then have to go through the open command and find the file.
Suggestions please?
