InDesign CS5 won't open in CS4

Upgraded to CS5 InDesign and I was happy with it untill I tried to open some work on CS4 at a clients office and both my printers who run CS4 can no longer seem to open any of my packaged file that I send them, Am I doing something wrong, or is there no longer any backwards compatability, I have noticed that CS5 came with alot of Extentions preinstalled 50% of which seem to be locked. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.
thanks
Edit i may have jumped the gun I'm testing a .idml file on CS4 but it's just crashed ID 5 time in a row so....

There has NEVER been that sort of backward compatibility.
As always, if you want to open the file in a previous version you must export to interchange format, which for CS5 is .idml. The .idml file can be opened in CS4, but it isn't likely to be perfect, so this is a very poor way to send things to print. There are significant new features which will be lost if used, and differences in the text engines which will cause youtr text to be recomposed, possibly changing line endings which can make oversets or other problems.
Whay not send the printer a press-ready PDF instead?

InDesign CS5 won't open

I just received my Adobe CS5 and have installed it. Every program opens fine with the exception of inDesign. I had a trial version of inDesign CS4, but have uninstalled in incase there were any issues. I'm not sure why it won't open.
I've installed any applicable updates for the program as well as my Acrobat Pro to the newest version (9.something)
The software is closing down at the point where it says "Starting up Service Registry"
Any ideas on what could be going on?
I'm completely new to this software in general, but I thought I'd go to the forums and see if there was anyone out there who could help.
FYI:
I'm using a MacBook with Version 10.5.8 software
2.4 GHz processor
with 2Gb 667MHz memory
Thank you

Adobe InDesign CS5 needs plugs ins, but how? Adobe InDesign CS6 won't open says OS problem. Adobe upgrade site crashes on me.

You might ask in InDesign to learn how to install plugins
>says OS problem
What IS your operating system, and which exact version?
Is the link below where you are starting for upgrades?
All Adobe updates start here and select product, read to see if you need to install updates in number order, or if the updates are cumulative for the individual product http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/

InDesign CS5 is not opening after deactivation/activation. How can I fix this? Illustrator and Photoshop open and are working fine. Please help!

First of all, thank you for replying so promptly to my posts this morning!
I can't remember how I got the software on his computer, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't through migration assistant.
I was looking into doing an uninstall of InDesign and a fresh install. However, I initially downloaded the CS5 suite digitally and I can't find out how I am able to perform a fresh install of InDesign. Do you know where I find this info or gain access to download just InDesign again? I can't seem to find anything in my Adobe account that shows where I might do another download.

Photoshop CS5 won't open .kmz files

Photoshop CS5 won't open .kmz files. I did a fresh install of Google Earth, opened it, saved a place, and saved a .kmz file. It reopens fine in Google Earth.
When I try to open it in Photoshop, this message pops up:
File Format Error
This file is from a previous version of Google Earth or it is not a Google Earth file
I get this message regardless of the following:
- ps is closed and i right click the kmz and choose ps (rather than google earth) to open it
- ps is open and i double click the kmz
- ps is open and i choose file/open and select the kmz
- ps is open and i have created and saved a new psd file, then choose 3D/New Layer from 3D File/ and select the kmz
I have tried the usual remedies, change rwx permissions, repair permissions, delete prefs. No luck.
Any thoughts? Software versions are below.
Thanks.
- Photoshop CS5 Extended 12.0.4 x64 (doesn't work in x32 either)
- Google Earth 6.0.3.2197
- OS 10.6.8

I was trying to see (since Photoshop Extended touts the ability to open kmz files) if I could open a 3D Google Earth file and edit it in Photoshop. A file like this for instance http://ecotope.org/anthromes/maps/. After more research I've learned that kmz is nothing more that a container format - you can change the extension to zip and see what's in it.
I ran across this tidbit in the Photoshop CS3 Extended forum:
Photoshop CS3 Extended supports the ability to import .kmz files created from Google Earth 4 or exported from Sketch-up in the Google Earth 4 format. Photoshop CS3 Extended cannot open Google Earth files. If you have a Google Earth file, you can convert it to a Google Earth 4 format with the free version of Sketch-up.
So, theoretically if I could get a kmz into Google Earth 4 format, I could open it in Photoshop. But I haven't had any success importing a kmz or kml into SketchUp. Even just making a native sketchup file and trying to import that in psd gives a ram error.
Probably I'm wishing for the moon.

Have you tried UNinstalling, and then reinstalling?

InDesign CS5 Won't Launch. Anywhere!

I recently updated my MacBook Pro to OS X Yosemite and now my InDesign CS5 won't launch.
I did some online troubleshooting and it suggested uninstalling and starting again. This would be problematic as I don't have a CD drive so can't install the software and research shows that CS5 is no longer available to download.
My InDesign comes as part of the Acrobat Professional Package V9 - not sure of this makes a difference!
Also, I tried downloading InDesign from CC, but it won't launch as it says I don't have the permission. Please help - I have a paper due for tomorrow!

You can download the CS5 installer from the links at the bottom of this page: Download and Installation Help

InDesign CS5 won't launch on Mac OS 10.8.3

Hi Peter:
I was using InDesign CS5 on my Mac Book Pro 17 and then purchased a new MacPro. I Transferred everything to my new laptop and every thing works except for InDesign and my Microsoft applications such as word, and Excell.
InDesign starts to launch and says "InDesign Quit Unexpectedly"

InDesign CS5 won't launch - missing plug-ins

InDesign CS5 won’t launch on Windows 7. I get the following error messages:
Cannot load the LINKS.RPLN plug-in
Cannot load the FONT USAGE DIALOG.RPLN plug-in
Cannot load the XMEDIA UI.RPLN plug-in
After these error messages InDesign crashes.
Do I need to reinstall the plug-ins?
If yes, how do I do that?

I couldn't find a repair option so tried to reinstall InDesign as you've suggested. This doesen't seem to work either, as I received the following installation error:

CS5 won't open NEF files from D600, despite updating camera raw plug in. How do I fix this?

CS5 won't open NEF files from D600, despite updating camera raw plug in. How do I fix this?

The D600 was first supported in Camera Raw 7.3 which is only compatible with CS6 and later - not CS5 unfortunately.

http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
Some options:
FREE
Download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all D600 Raw files to DNGs then open the DNGs in CS5

PAID
Upgrade to CS6
Buy Lightroom 5.4
Buy Photoshop Elements 12
Join the Cloud and get CC (subscription only)

CS5 won't open using CONT+H in PSE8

For some reason CS5 won't open with the Cont+H hot key in PSE8 but will load if using the menu drop down...any ideas how to fix this?

It's normally ctrl+E to edit in an external program; at least from Lightroom to CS5
First you must set up the external editor in preferences.

Can snippets made in InDesign CS5 be placed in a CS4 document?

Can snippets made in InDesign CS5 be placed in a CS4 document?

Well, that is interesting, but I’m going to guess that the snippets are just a form of IDML so if that’s the case I guess it would make sense.

InDesign CS6 won't open files

InDesign CS6 won't open some files. No error message, simply returns to previous 'Open...' view. I've tried restarting, rebooting, resetting my InDesign preferences and re-unzipping the original zip file. I can still open previously worked on files, though. (Even in the second folder of unzipped files, it's the same files that I can and cannot open.) Any ideas? InDesign

Ooh – I just had another look to check that they are CS6 files. The are, but each file size is 0 bytes – think that may be the problem! Thanks again both for responding so quickly. :-)
That sounds like you have the resource fork for a Mac-generated .indd file. Check to see if there is another file with the same name but a real file size in the zip archive. I suspect the "real" file (the data fork) is being unzipped first, then the resource fork is overwriting without warning and you could solve it by extract9ng the files manually.

InDesign files won't open with double click

InDesign files won't open with double click on my MacPro with Snow Leopard although they do open from external hard drives when I double click.

Thank you very much,you were correct, it appears the mouse clicks were set too fast. Thank you very much indeed for taking the time to answer my question.

InDesign CS4 or CS5 will not open my CS4 file

Please help! I have a large file for a newsletter I have been working on that suddenley refuses to open. I have been using CS4 and didn't have any problems until all of the sudden I just get a box saying "cannot open "name of file". I tried in CS5 on my home computer, won't open. I created it at work in CS4. I have no idea what to do. I can open the file from 3 days ago on my back-up drive, but every back-up'ed filed between then and now gives me this error. The error just happened yeaterday. I have lost 3 full days of work. Can anybody help me? This is a 44 page newsletter.
Computer info:
Model Name:    Mac Pro
Model Identifier:    MacPro3,1
Processor Name:    Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed:    3 GHz
Number Of Processors:    2
Total Number Of Cores:    8
L2 Cache (per processor):    12 MB
Memory:    4 GB
My computer at home is a mac dual core also and it didnt work there either.

Thanks. yes, I typically duplicate the file and delete everything I don't want. I have been using InDesign for years but I never got into using templates. I will look into them after this is finished. It just figures it would happen right at the worst time.
This is a new contract and this is the second newsletter I have ever done. I duplicated it from the first one I did last quarter, but the first one I duplicated from a copy that was given to me by the company that handled it before mine and I have no idea if they did that too of what platform/version they worked from.
I have already started fixing everything. I basically went back to my first draft version. I was ready to turn it over for final approval today. I luckly have a pdf that I exported on my last draft because I typically save drafts with _ver2 etc as PDF as I work and submit them for edits.
PS...I have another newsletter I do that I have been duplicating for years, it has probably been duplicated 10 or more times. I'm not working on that one now, but I am not duplicating it again. I never even thought about it getting messed up from this habit.
