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.

  • Shared Content InDesign Plugin for InDesign CS4 won't open file

    Yesterday I discontinued using Adobe CC and went back to using my Adobe InDesign CS4.  CS4 is working OK but there is ONE file that won't open.  I get the message "Shared Content InDesign Plugin is currently not available on your system".  The file will not open. Is there a workaround or how do I get the required plugin?

    You get that error when the file was saved in CS5 or later. You can find out the version using the script at Adobe Forums: [Ann] Identify Your InDesign File.
    You'll need to export the file to .idml from the newer version to be able to open it in CS4. This is something I normally offer to do, but I'm not available for at least a week, so perhaps one of our other regulars can step up and volunteer.

  • CS6 Won't open files - Program Error

    When I try to open files in CS6, I get an error "Could not complete your request because of a program error."     I have restarted PS and rebooted the machine.
    Running Mac OS 10.6.8
    2.8 GHz   Core i7
    12 GB Ram
    The same files open fine on CS5.

    Chris,
    There are no log files in the settings folder.
    Curt,
    I have the "Open in CS6" available in Bridge.   When I open a jpg from Bridge, same PS error.  If I open a CR2 in ACR, ACR is fine, but when I tell it "open image" (in ACR), ACR closes, and nothing happens in Photoshop.  No message.  If I double-click a CR2 image from bridge, I get the PS error.
    Howard,
    Same error regardless of file type.
    Thanks for the help.

  • Indesign CS6 won't open after Photoshop CS6.

    Indesign was working like a charm, then I had to install Photoshop which installed without error, since then whenever i launch indesign the splash screen comes up and gets as far as "setting up service registry" and then just disapears. It works with other users on the PC and I have tried creating a new profile for the user without any joy.
    The following error is in the event log:

    Any help would be appreciated.

    The program has been uninstalled and reinstalled and the problem is still there. I was considering running the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool, and reinstalling, However from the documentation it looks as though it is for installation issue? Would it be of any help or is there a better tool to use to remove all traces of indesign from the PC/Registry? so i can reinstall?
    As This issue was caused by installing photoshop is there any mileage with uninstalling both then reinstalling them?

  • InDesign CS6 won't open after migration to a new iMac.  Adobe App Mgr calls it a "Trial" version?

    I just migrated my entire contents from one Mac to  new iMac.  I was able to open and use InDesign for the first day or so, but now when I do, The Adobe Application Manager tells me the version I have is a "Trial" version.  I am not likely to be transferring to CC version, so within that limitation (Staying with CS6) how do I correct this issue, so I can use the software I paid for?

  • Indesign CS6 won't open; wants me to go to Cloud

    I do NOT want to get the cloud, but after getting a new laptop, when I try to open my CS6, it opens Adobe Application Manager and wants me to get the trial. I do not want it. I just want my CS6 applications. Any ideas why this is happening?

    I fixed it quite easily - I went into C:\Program Files\iTunes and made a shortcut of the actual iTunes application. Another thing that has also worked is plugging in my iPod - if you have previously configured iTunes to launch when the iPod is connected this should bring iTunes up regardless of the error message.

  • Please help! My CS6 won't open and Adobe Application Manager keeps popping up to renew CS Cloud subscription.

    Hi there.
    I recently canceled my CS Cloud subscription about 3 weeks ago and went back to using CS6. I was using CS6 Creative Suite without a problem until 2 days ago. Now my CS6 programs (AI, Photoshop, InDesign, Acrobat) won't open. Instead the Adobe Application Manager keeps popping up to renew the subscription, see below insert.
    I have chatted with Adobe customer support numerous times but when it comes to transferring me to their technical support, the chat mysteriously becomes unavailable. The only time the transfer went through, I was advised to remove CS6 Creative Suite using Cleaner Tool and reinstall, which I did but my CS6 still does not open and the AAM keeps popping up giving me the same message to renew the subscription. The AI/Photohop icons just keep bouncing up and down without opening while the AAM pops up.
    What can I do to stop this annoying AAM from popping up and open my CS6? I just want my CS6 to open up again. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Please help!

  • Indesign CS6 won't load on my right hand monitor

    Indesign CS6 won't load on my right hand monitor

    Joining the discussion... [running CS6 on Windows8; dual screen 23"; 1920 x 1080 (NVIDIA GeForce 9600GT card; DVI, HDMI)]
    I have had the same problem. Each of the panels (pages, layers etc.) would not work with the mouse/pointer... if I clicked in a panel, I could tab/shift tab through each component in the panel, use the arrow keys to make changes, but the mouse/pointer was not active.
    After extreme frustration... The following appears to solve the issue.
    Solution: Open Indesign CS6, set up screen positions for the panels as required, save the workspace (Window/Workspace/New Workspace...).
    Sorry... this appeared to worked... but I have dicovered that it only works for a short period then this problem seems to rear it ugly head again and all panels are intermitent in their responsiveness. Currently I have tried re-start... doesn't seem to change the problem, a shutdown and startup resets everything but the problem soon appears again. I'm searching for a solution... anyone? 

  • PSCS6 no longer recognizes my CR2 files and will not open. Using Canon 5DMark III with updated Camera Raw . It has worked before but now won't open files from this camera.

    I have been able to open files from this camera before but still checked for latest Camera Raw download. Still won't open files from this camera. Opens files from my 60D just fine. I downloaded the latest and it has worked before. What the heck is going on?

    Glad to be of help. But I'm curious (not critical of what you are doing) to know why so many people like to use Nikon Transfer to transfer their files to the computer. It is still necessary to import them into Lightroom. And, from my perspective, it seems simpler and maybe even a little quicker to use the Lightroom import dialog. I have Nikon cameras, and have never even installed the Nikon Transfer utility. What is so unique about it?
