Indesign says it's "damaged"

I've Indesign cs3 version file (book). The Indesign get crashed while select the text. when I try to open my file Indesign says it's "damaged", this is xml flowed file, I can open other Indesign files,
I'm on a PC running Windows 7 and the file in question is large, 16 mb. I think it might have been created on CS3. I need to proceed this file in CS6.
Please find the screen shot and application file in attachment. Can anyone give me a solution for this problem.
Thanks,

You can try the tool at INDDRecovery — a program for restoring corrupted InDesign documents or the blind export to IDML script (in CS6, it won't run in CS3) in the first response to this thread: Adobe Community: InDesign 6 is crashing when attempting to open a particular document. All others are opening OK.
If you want to move this project to CS6, the best advice I can give you is to export each of the component files to .inx from CS3, then open the ,inx files in CS6 and save as new .indd files with new names (DO NOT OVERWRITE the original versions), then add them to a new .indb Book file.

I can no longer open iphoto. It says it is damaged. How do i reinstall iphoto?

I can no longer open iphoto. It says it is damaged. How do I reinstall iphoto?

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

Delete the App Store app by dragging it and dropping it into the Trash. Then download and install the appropriate update combo for your version of OS X;
Install new MAS app -

I'm getting an error message that says iphoto is damaged - delete and reinstall from app store. If I delete iphoto, what will happen to my pictures?

I'm getting an error message when I try to open iPhoto - it says, "iPhoto is damaged and cannot be opened. Delete iPhoto and download it again from the App Store." If I delete and reintall, what will happen to my pictures? I cannot open my pictures from the Finder either to save them/back them up.

Hello jwhhunt,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Your iPhoto Library is stored separately from your iPhoto application, therefore reinstalling iPhoto as the error message describes, will not affect your iPhoto Library.

Attempt to install Mountain Lion has highlighted need for internal disk repair. Even after "repair" ML still says disk is damaged. Attempt to restore from Time Machine back-up failed - cannot 'see' internal HD to restore to. Help! Has attempt to install ML caused these problems or just highlighted existing need to Repair Disk? Even so, why can back-up from Time Machine not see the internal drive to restore to?

Csound1, William & Sig .... thanks for taking the trouble to reply. I fear you are right - I'll need a new disk. I'm booked in at the Apple Genius Bar in Bordeaux, France on Wed ... quite a challenge as my French isn't great! The current internal disk is 500gb, does anyone know whether I can upgrade my 21.5" iMac (circa Oct-2009 vintage) to a larger size internal disk, 1Tb or even 2Tb? I already have one external 2Tb drive and another one on order (I have masses of media stored and more planned as I've just taken up photography). Seems a bit of a pain managing with only 500gb internal storage. OR, can you advise me on how I can store all my photos on my new 2Tb external drive - I can't seem to figure out how to set the path for iPhoto to see them (I can't even figure out where they are stored right now!). Same with iTunes, how do I set the default storage to the external drive (I moved everything manually and then imported them all from the new drive - it worked but seemed very convoluted). Any advice on how to manage multiple drives gratefully received. And thanks again for previous replies.

Everytime I try to open my project, it says it is damaged and cannot be opened? Why? How can this be fixed?

Wonderful news. Congratulations on your success. Great job.

Wonder why the auto-saves were kind of all over the place as far as their numbers and my progress? Oh well!!
A few years ago I looked at the ordering of those AutoSaves, but could not find the thread. So, I decided to look at Premiere Elements
13/13.1 ordering of the AutoSaves.
My Edit Menu/Preferences/AutoSave settings were the following to speed things up
Automatically save every minute(s) = 1
Maximum Project Versions = 5
In the Adobe Premiere Elements AutoSave Folder were:
My new video project-1.prel (first and the oldest)
My new video project-2.prel
My new video project-3.prel
My new video project-4.prel
My new video project-5.prel (last and the newest)
I am OK with the first 5 with the maximum project versions = 5, but.....
Since I have set for only 5 versions, where do the subsequent versions go every 1 minute since you continue to
see only the above file names in the Adobe Premiere Elements AutoSave Folder.
My new video project-1.prel
is now the 6th AutoSave and replaces the original first AutoSave.
My new video project-2 prel
is now the 7th AutoSave and replaces the original second Auto Save.
Since I did 7 AutoSaves, this is the last and the newest.
My new video project-3.prel is still the original third AutoSave.
My new video project-4.prel is still the original fourth AutoSave.
My new video project-5.prel is still the original fifth AutoSave.
So, after the generation of the 10 th AutoSave, all the original 5 AutoSave would be gone,
and the My new video project-5.prel would then again become the last and the newest)
As for the question about
Can I re-save this auto-save under a different name?
Yes, but review the Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disks for the locations of the scratch disc. If same as
project, then those scratch disc will end up in the folder with the AutoSave which has become your project.prel.
A battery failure was at the core of this situation. So you should be OK moving forward.
Best wishes

Creative Suite 6, InDesign saying Library is corrupt. How do I restore?

Creative Suite 6, InDesign saying Library is corrupt. How do I restore?

You will have to connect ot iTunes in order to reinstall iOS 6.1. Or you can try using the iPhone settings. Tab Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings which should force the phone into recovery mode and begin a download of iOS. You will need a solid WiFi connection, and I suggest you keep the phone connected to the AC charger.

What to do?

Sorry, unfortunately I was posting this in the CC...
But, it is not necessary this post as reinstalling ID it is enough to update.

Premier won't let me import a simple AVI file? Says "unsupported or damaged file." Help!

I did a 3d animation in 3ds max and I rendered it as an AVI, per my instructor, and then tried to import it into Premier to be able to add audio and edit it a little. When I try to import any of the files (I had three different cameras in 3ds max so I rendered 3 different AVI's) it just says "Unsupported or damaged file" for all three of them. The files play just fine in media player and work everywhere else on the computer, but stupid premier won't let me import! What should I do? I'm worried if I convert it to another file type that it'll destroy the compression. This is for a class and we have to have a very specific file size and type. Please help me!
P.S. I'm not very good with code and programming, I don't know what a CODEC or a wrapper or any of that stuff is, please just give me suggestions of what to do and how to do it. Thanks so much!

Indesign says file damaged can not be recovered HELP!

Hello, I just tried to open a very important file and the resultant dialog box says
"Can not open file. File damaged. Can not be recovered."
the file has all of my important accounting data in it. Does any one have any alternative ways for opening this file.
Please Help
Thank you in advance

Best hope is probably sending it to Markzware, unless you have a license for Quark and the ID2Q and Q2ID plugins. They cahrge around $200 I believe, if successful.
Fix Your Bad InDesign Files!

InDesign file crashing and damaging file...even the backup file.

Of course in times of deadline but I have a lengthy 20 something page document that continually crashes and then gives me a damaged error but attempting to recover just crashes InDesign. I have tried recreating a couple times thinking maybe something corrupt in the doc but even the back up file is corrupt now! UGH! HELP!!!

Hard to tell what you mean by the backup file is corrupt.
It's possible that only the recovery data is bad, and if you empty the (hidden by default) InDesign Recovery folder you will be able to start ID without auto-recovery, then use File > Open... to navigate to and open the last saved version of the file.
If a backup file is also misbehaving it may be that it already had a problem, or else there is something not specifically file-related that is the problem, a plugin conflict, or a bad font are two common errors. Without more information, though, it's impossible to say. What version of ID? Which OS? Do you have the latest patch installed for your version?
If yo are a Mac user you likely have a crash report associated with this. If so, post it on pastebin.com and give us a link to it here and we might be able to narrow things down.
