InDesign update CS5.5 won't open new file / can't get monitor RGB colors

My biggest problem...a job to do a b&w booklet for a 50th class reunion ready for printer. Tried PS. Downloaded trial of Publisher, but haven't tried. Upgraded Creative Suite to 5.5 to use InDesign. Everything I set as prefs, formats, etc. as soon as I hit enter I get a full screen empty page and a cursor that twirls until I force quit. Do you know why? Do I need to uninstall the earlier version of CS? I should be done with this project and haven't begun. Should I just go to PS and create a tabloid format master and do it all manually? Should I try publisher? Can I get InDesign to work? My reputation is at stake and I want to get the job done rather than tell him this late that I can't do it!
While trying to set the template for the book in InDesign, somehow I now only have 2 colors... blue and graphite, for my display of everything. Tried ColorSync, DigitalColor Meter, tried to find out what resolution to use, I'm lost! NEVER had these problems b4! Please help me ASAP if you know the answers!
How will I know if someone answers?

Does this happen with all CS4 files or just some?
Do those files work in CS4/on other computers?
Where are those files from?
Are they perhaps on a networked drive? An USB stick?
Can you save a new file and open that?

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.

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.

Dreamweaver CS5 won't open any files from a project

Hi,
I'm working on a simple website. I work on it from 2 different locations (home and work), and the files are stored on a removable USB disk. The problem is that for some reason Dreamweaver won't open any files made on the other computer. It shows the sitemap, eveything. But when I click on a file, nothing happens.
I've tried a couple of things:
1. recreate the site in the site manager - still the same problem
2. remove the preference folder - still the same problem
The only solution is that I have to copy the files to my desktop, recreate the website in the sitemanager and then it works. But only if I copy the files to my desktop, any other location on my HD (not the removable USB disk) simply doesn't work.
Does anybody know why this happens? Or even better, does anybody have a tip of how to workaround this problem?
thanks!

Photoshop CS5 won't open CR2 files. Running OS X 10.10.1 and camera raw version 6.7.1

Photoshop CS5.1 will not open CR2 files. I am running OS X 10.10.1 and adobe photoshop camera raw 6.7.1. It was working fine when I had OS X Mavericks. It wasn't until I updated to Yosemite that the problem started.

Hello,
I had recently bought an iMac but I'm unable to open cr2 files when I'm trying to do a double click(or doing a preview) to open in Yosemite. Although I can open them in Lightroom 5.7 and could not in CS6(understand I need to upgrade it). I know there should be a way to open cr2 files by directly double clicking on the image, but as of now I'm unable to find in the net.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Illustrator 6 missing plug-ins, won't open new files

I was initially getting an error message when attempting to open Illustrator 6 on my Mac (running 10.6.8). An unknown error has occurred (4294967253). Adobe Illustrator will now quit. I read a post where the user was to select shift+option+command right after booting up. When I did that, a dialog box popped up asking if I'd like to participate in submitting feedback to Adobe and asked for my profession, location, industry, etc. It then attempted to open a new file but gave the following error: The document 'Print.ai' contains elements that are managed by plug-ins that are not currently available. You can delete or expand these elements but you cannot manipulate them in other ways. The missing plug-ins are listed below. Stroke Offset Live Effect (StrokeOffset.aip). I can open an existing file, but no tools are available to edit with and I get additional errors regarding missing plug-ins. My Mac has also been running a bit slow lately as well...not sure if the two issues are connected, but I'm willing to try anything to meet an impending deadline. I have plenty of space remaining on my computer, so that can't be it.

The exact same thing just happened to me.
Then comes another error message ( see below ).
& it doesn't like it when I replace the image (which is a TIFF by the way).

Elements 12 for MAC won't open new files or save to any format

After using for a few weeks, I have had a few crashes, but this morning, I could not save a photo "Due to program Error" (no codes etc). Closing out that file and losing the edits, but now I cannot open any new file?!? Again "due to program Error". Working on Christmas cards and gifts...so this is not cool! Any help out there would be GREATLY appreciated! Running Macbook Pro with ample disk space and hard drive availibitly.

First try going to the editor preferences>general, clicking this button and restarting PSE.

PS CS5 Won't open any files

When I try and open any file I get the error 'Could not complete your request because of a program error' I have reinstalled PS CS5
and upgraded to OS 10.7.5 and still the same error.

Hi there! Because the forum you originally posted in is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop, I moved your question to the Photoshop Elements forum, where you'll get more specialized help.
To help others help you, pleaseread through this article and provide any additional relevant details.

I have the little plus sign for a new tab, but when I click on it, it won't open. I can't get any additional tabs open.

I can also right click on the "new tab" sign, and click on new tab and still I can't get a new tab to open. Never had this problem before.

iirc there is a compatibility issue with the Ask Toolbar, and I think your Sytem Details indicate you may be using that, try disabling or uninstalling the Ask toolbar to see if that solves the problem.

CS5 won't open RAF files from FinePix HS10 & Camera Raw 6.3- Is there something I'm missing??

Ok-
I've bought CS5 Extended and then updated it (including the Camera Raw 6.3 update).
I am using a MacBook Pro (and an iMac also).
When I try to open the RAF file I get the message "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file." Yet the release notes for Camer Raw say that it will open FinePix HS10 files...
So I then decided to try a manual install of Camera Raw- I get the same message.
I have checked with other HS10 users and their PS does open them.
Is there something obvious that I am missing- or is there a problem with the camera raw or the photoshop cs5??
Hope someone can help!!

I didn't realise that the Camera Raw won't work in 64bit mode. Converting to 32bit enabled the files to be opened.
Actually, that's wrong. Camera Raw 6.3 WILL run as a 64-bit plug-in when hosted by Photoshop CS5 if CS5 is running as a 64-bit app. It'll run as a 32-bit plug-in when hosted by Bridge or Photoshop CS5 set to run as 32-bit.
So, there's something else going on here....
How are you trying to open the raw files? From within Bridge or the Finder? How did you update Camera Raw to version 6.3? From the updater? Is ACR 6.3 in the correct install location? main Library (not the User but root), Application Support/Adobe/Plug-ins/CS5/File Formats/Camera Raw.plugin
Can you open raw images from within Bridge? Have you tried to view raw files with Bridge before you updated Camera Raw? Have you trashed the cache foe the folder? In Bridge under Tools/Cache/Purge Cache

Adobe CS5 won't open .ase files.

I was just introduced to Kuler, and being excited for finding a new swatch archive, I tried downloading a few for a project I'm working on. When I open them, they try to open in Illustrator (my project is in photoshop) and Illustrator says that the file isn't compatable? I have the CS5 Creative suite. Any help would be very appreciated!

In Illustrator, from the Swatches palette pop-up menu, select Open Swatch Libraries > Other Libraries, and navigate to and select your saved .ase file. The file will open in a separate palette labeled with the theme name. To move these swatches to the Swatches palette, select the swatches you wish to move and, from the pop-up menu, select Add to Swatches. The swatch will be added to the Swatches palette.
In Photoshop or InDesign , from the Swatches palette pop-up menu, go to Load Swatches and navigate to your .ase file. Open the .ase file; your colors should appear in the Swatches palette.
Thanks & Regards,
Neha

CS5 won't open CR2 files

I am working with Photoshop CS5 and a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XS. The photos are taken off the camera with Image Capture, and put into the Pictures folder by default. A JPEG and CR2 file are imported. I cannot open the CR2 file – I have checked the plug in, and it is the 6.3 plug-in. Any ideas on what may be wrong would be appreciated. I've gone through the Adobe help files and tried the solutions listed...

Can you post one of the raw files online and provide a link? Someone here can try to open it to ensure it's not a problem with the file itself.
There was a time that there was a Windows problem with importing a JPEG and CR2 at the same time with certain camera models, but I thought that had been solved. Are you set to record a raw file and a JPEG both?

Photoshop won't open DNG files or says get are absent?

Suddenly, ,most of my photos show up in Bridge as DNGs and when I try to open them with PS CC I get one of two messages: PS does not recognize this format or that the photo is missing. But when I use another program, it shows the photo.

Hello, Gene,
Thanks for taking the time to reply. I got shunted to the forum while
waiting for a chat session. When you answered I was already in it, so
figured I would go ahead. Chat took only took 2.5 hours and two technicians
to figure out that Camera Raw had been corrupted. When it was reinstalled
all was good.
Thanks again,
John

IPhoto won't open! How can I get it to open?

(Hey, I just checked in after not doing so for many months........ and I like this new letter template!!)
I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8. (It says 10.6.5 below, but that has not yet been updated.)
The message window says that I have iPhoto 9.1.5 installed. At any rate, this is the iPhoto that came when i bought iLife '11. I have been keeping up with ALL updates. My system checks for updates daily.
I have seen some people answering similar questions, but they refer the person to a site where there are iPhoto downloads to newer versions. I do not need that if I am totally up to date, as my Software Update tells me.
After all this time of iPhoto working just fine, suddenly one day after I clicked on the icon in the Dock, a message came up:
"iPHoto cannot be opened because of a problem
Check with the developer or make sure iPhoto works with this version of the Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. BE sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X." There is more, but since I cannot copy and paste, I will just let all of it go.
OK, I am always up to date with updates because I have it set to check daily. Everything is up to date.
iPhoto was working fine with Snow Leopard up till recently when this occurred.
I AM able to access the photos in iPhoto via the iPhoto browser in Apple Mail!
Please help me open up my iPhoto app.
-L.

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 you can find it in your Purchases List.
