Indesign CC Files try to open in CS6

The title pretty much explains it. I have both versions installed on my computer (Windows 8.1) for compatibility. When I try to open my Indesign CC files, it tries to use CS6 (and fails of course). I have tried "Open with..." and selecting Indesign CC, but it still opens in CS6. How can I get this right? Ideally I want CC files to open in CC, and CS6 in CS6.
Thanks in advance.

We'd all love if Windows would use the correct version of ID to open the files, but without help it is just going to use the last version installed to open all files.
Check out Soxy at Rorohiko.com. I think there's a windows version.

Indesign CS4 files won't open in CS6

Installed CS6 on new MBP. Moved CS4 design files over to new computer.
Files won't open in CS6. Get the following message:
Cannot open "filename.indd". The file "filename.indd" is damaged (Error code: 4).
This happens with ALL of my CS4 Indesign files. (*Note: they DO open on old MBP)
I tried exporting one as IDML on old machine - same thing.
Any suggestions? I was told all older version files will open in NEW CS versions. True?

The Voodoo is in the basics. - turn it off...turn it on?
I just quit InDesign CS6 and reopened...now all of my files are opening fine in CS6!
@Bob - just to double check - moved files from old mbp - onto external hd - then brought them over to new mbp...is there a better way?

When I try to open Photoshop CS6 I get "Error Code 16"

When I try to open Photoshop CS6 I get "Error Code 16"
I have researched Internet - ADOBE and others - to find a solution, but no luck! (see under)
The problem started around one year ago but I was able to open Bridge and go to Photoshop from there until recently.
Now I get "Error Code 16" in Bridge too when I am trying to go to Photoshop.
I have tried everything I could think of (including creating a new Administrator-user) with help from my Internet research and my own pretty good experience (I started working with computer systems as a Systems Analysts 1968...... - now it is only PCs)
I miss my Photoshop and Bridge a lot - it is very frustrating to have this problem, but I can see I am not the only one!!!
I also have these Adobe products:
Adobe Photoshop
1045-1297-1724-5553-8938-xxxx
Adobe InDesign
1037-1476-0290-3491-8464-xxxx

and some more.
I am grateful for all help.

All Files Try to open with Photo Viewer

I was downloading some pictures and when finished ,now all files try to open with photo viewer. (ie Word,Excel,Paint,just all files lised on the menu. If someone knows how to fix this pleas reply.

Hi ObiWanKanobe,
I recommend you check the Default Programs. Follow these steps:
1. Click Start – input “default programs”(without quotation)
2. Click Set your default programs.
3. Choose Windows Photo Viewer in the left panel, then Choose defaults for this program.
4. Make sure you don’t check other types of files, like doc and so on.
Then check if the issue persists.
Regards,
Miya

Cr2 files will not open in cs6

I am running os10.6.8 and recently upgraged to cs6 from cs5. I have checked for software updates and my version is current. when I (attempt) to view in bridge or try and open cr2 files in the latest photoshop it will not allow. I can only see the cr2 icon but no image. HOWEVER - I can view/open the files in my previous photoshop version (5) with no problem. I have seen reference to 'patches' without explanation as to how/when those are needed or is this the same as a latest software update? if so, patches sounds alot like a jankey duct tape and twine solution - just friken use the word SOFTWARE UPDATE - I think that is pretty clear.
Secondary question - I did a 30 minute search on this discussion board and found nothing. I don't understand how that can be, as I am sure this is a common problem.
stanks!

InDesign CS5 file won't open

At my work, we are working on formatting a book in InDesign. We are using the same base template for each file. I created a front matter document with a table of contents (TOC), list of figures (LOF), list of tables (LOT), acronyms, and glossary using that base template. Everything worked fine; I was able to generate the TOC, LOF, and LOT, and could work with the file with no problem. Then I saved and closed the file. Later that day, I was unable to open the file.
The message I get includes the statement, "You may not have permission or the file may be open already."
No one else had opened it and there are no lock files. The other person using InDesign also cannot open it. I made a copy of the file and saved it in another location and still could not open it.
The files are all on our network. We are using InDesign CS5 and Windows7 (64-bit). The only difference between this file and the others are the modifications that I made to some TOC paragraph styles so two paragraphs could be displayed side-by-side in the TOC (i.e., Chapter 1 Introduction all on one line, where Chapter 1 comes from one paragraph and Introduction comes from another by having no leading on one paragraph style).
Can anyone suggest a solution for this? This is rather urgent as the client needs the book by the end of next week.
Thank you so much for your help.
regards,
Marina Michaels

Yes: The message I get says, "Cannot open (file path and name). You may not have permission or the file may be open already."
Thanks!

InDesign CC2014 File Will Not Open

This file was created by me a few months ago with the same version of CC that I am using now... and now I cannot open it and keep getting the error:
"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 tried:
- Restarting MacBook
- Re-downloading file from work server
Thoughts? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Either there is a lock file in the same folder or the file you are trying to open isn't really an ID file.

CC idml file crashes when opening in CS6

Client is using CC from a PC and I'm using a MAC, CS6 Version 8.0.1. Upon re-opening InDesign, it opens the last document, which is the one that just crashed the application. I am then able to "save as", but when i re-open that file, it's corrupt.

Hi Owen,
tried
Can you please let me know which plug-in it was that you deleted?
I have removing every one that I have and nothing has worked thus far.
I deleted Vector Scribe Studio, FontExplorererX and that is all I had... still nothing.
What did you remove and/or update?
Thank you muchly.

CC files won't open on CS6

My students say they can't open files they worked on under CC at home when the try to work on them here at the college under our CS6 (non-Creative Cloud) apps.

In another thread, I learned that "CS7.0" is an abandoned naming scheme for Creative Cloud. The error message is, itself, in error. Adobe's versioning nomenclature is very confusing.

Cannon Rebel XS EOS CR2 files won't open in CS6

My photoshop is completely up to date, my RAW plug-in is up to date, and I even attempted to download the DNG converter all to no avail. No matter what I try my CR2 images won't open in anything. My camera is listed as one of the supported cameras. I've tried everything I could find on the forums and on other searches but still cannot get my files to open in Photoshop. The worst part is that they were opening last week prior to my updating. Are there any suggestions as to what I can do to get this solved?

If you have CS2 the latest version should be ACR 3.7.
ACR 4.x is only for CS3. If you download the 3.7 ACR and install it correctly ( be sure to follow the instructions precisely!) you should be OK.

Indesign EPS files cannot be opened by other users

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me out...
I'm trying to export something to a client as an .eps from InDesign CS5.5. I can export it fine, I can open it on my laptop
without any problems using my other copy of InDesign...
But when the other person tries to open the file ( I thnk they are using Corel PaintShopPro X4) it simply produces an
error message saying that the file is either corrupt or uses unsupported features.
The file I am trying to export is vector (ungrouped and outlined to remove any font issues) and also contains JPGs
within the design. ( I have also tried sending him just a page with a vector outline box and nothing else on it and that
won't open either.)
Anyone have any suggestions please???
Many Thanks,
Jerry

First, a very genuinely felt thank-you to all those who have contributed to this, I really appreciate your input, help and time in trying to help me understand this issue more completely.
# Peter - Why not do it in Illy? No specific reason, probably that I am just more familiar with Indesign, and until working for this particular client had never had a problem
with anyone else opening or using an .eps file for my design work. The reason they have a problem - proprietery software BASED on Corel, but not Corel that they themselves
seem not to fully understand leaving me with the problem of trying to work out why for them!
# Mike - I think you are correct, and it sounds as if you have sent work off to engravers before...Is that the case???
But just to re-emphasise - they are NOT using CorelDraw or PSP X4 - but I do know that their own software is based on it.
# Bob - of course you are right, but the company won't provide me with a copy of their software - and in my opinion they don't fully understand it themselves.
I think they commisioned someone to make them software to control their lazers - they are in the lazer manufacturing business, not software developers...and despite
many and long conversations with their "technical expert" they are unable to supply any definitive answers - we've even driven 1/2 way across the country and spent
a day there with them and still cannot work out the inconsistencies.
#Dov - thanks for such a detailed and definitve response. I wasn't criticising Adobe or expecting a "magic wand" solution, hope it didn't come across like that!
So, finally a conundrum: Can someone please tell me why:-
If I create a new document in Indesign Cs5.5 and simply add a vector square in black to it and save it as an EPS it won't open in Corel PaintShopPro X4.
If I copy and paste the self-same document into illustrator and export as an eps using the same postscript level, the same encryption (ASCII), the same preview...
It DOES open in Corel PaintShopPro x4.
It isn't fonts, or transparencies, or layers, or OPI conversions...so what the heck is it???
