Is it possible to open AI files created with newer version of Illustrator?

I am still using AICS2; I've noticed that files created in newer versions without PDF content will not open; is there any workaround for this? I'm missing out on lots of nice stuff....

>is there any workaround for this?
Open them in the appropriate version. You can download a 30-day demo of Illustrator 14. You can also ask the supplier to down-save for you.

  • "Can't open...created with newer version of iTunes...Missing most of Songs!

    I got this message. Followed instructions I found on Apple Support: Home-->Music-->iTunes. Dragged iTunes folder onto desktop. iTunes 8.2.1 opened but it was as if I'd never used iTunes before. It restored some of my music but very little compared to what I had. I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.3 and recently had my HD crash after trying to install OS10.7. Got a new HD, transferred files, etc. from ext. HD. Have had several problems since with HD corruption....Missing iPhoto pictures, too. Help!

    Hello,
    iTunes 8.2.1 is pretty outdated. Please go to http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and install the current iTunes 10.2.2

  • Can't open DNG files created with Mac CS5 downloader in Mac CS4 Photoshop

    I recently installed CS5 on my mac but I kept CS4 installed as well.  I notice that I cannot open DNG files created with CS5 in Photoshop CS4.  Bridge CS4 shows the files only as icons - no image thumbnails.  I am able to open these same files on a Windows version of CS4.  Is there some plugin for my mac CS4 that will enable me to access the DNG files created with CS5?  Is there a way to use my CS5 downloader when converting my raw files from my camera to DNG files that will make them compatiple with PS and Bridge CS4?

    Well, yes...but you'll need to modify your DNG Converter prefs to allow for that. You''ll need a recent (ideally current DNG Converter 6.4.1 or above) and click on the DNG Converter preferences and select the correct DNG Converter options. Check DNG Converter 6.4.1 (the current version) and click on "Change Preferences" to be sure select Camera Raw 5.4 and later then make sure CS4 is updated to ACR 5.7 (which is the last version of ACR for CS4) However, the changes made to ACR 6.x really should be adopted since IQ for ACR 6.4.x is a lot better...

  • Numbers file created w new version of Numbers on my mac and then transferred  via Dropbox to my ipad: file cannot be opened by iOS version of Numbers

    Numbers file created w new version of Numbers on my mac and then transferred  via Dropbox to my ipad: file cannot be opened by iOS version of Numbers

    Hi Jocomo,
    That's correct. Dropbox does not handle Numbers 3.0 for Mac and Numbers 2.0 for iOS documents well at all. They will probably fix this.
    But why are you using Dropbox for this?  Numbers has built-in iCloud integration for the very purpose of syncing documents back and forth.  It's much easier than using Dropbox even if Dropbox could handle the new Numbers format.  And it's now quite reliable.
    To enable iCloud with Numbers on your Mac:
    In System Preferences>iCloud make sure you have Documents & Data turned on:
    And after clicking Options, make sure you have checked Numbers.app:
    On your iPad you need to make sure iCloud sync is turned on in TWO places:
      Settings>iCloud>Documents & Data>Numbers
      Settings>Numbers>Use iCloud
    If you have entered the right iCloud credentials on your Mac and iPad, Numbers will then sync back and forth. It's much easier than putting in Dropbox and then having to Open in... , etc.  You can of course still keep backup copies of your documents in Dropbox if you want.

  • HT202879 How can I open a file made with old version of Pages (before 09)?

    I need to open a file made with old version of Pages (before 09).  How can I do this?  I only have iworks Pages free with Mac Book Pro.

    You need either Pages '09 or the original Pages '08? programs.
    With Pages '09 you simply open it and it accurate converts it to Pages '09. Pages 5 will open the Pages '09 version but may alter/damage the file.
    With Pages '08 you Export it to Word .doc/.docx with mixed results, then open that in Pages 5 which may alter/damage the file.

  • Problem opening PC files created on latest version of CS5 on Mac

    Hi.
    We´re a creative team in my company of four people, three mac users and one pc user. We recently all subscribed to the creative cloud so that we allways have the latest version of CS5, but there seems to be a problem with all files edited or created from the PC user.
    We've (mac users, all three) tried to open the files either created or edited by the PC user and we're told that this was created by a newer version and is not possible. Trying to understand why this message occure when all three macs where updated with creative cloud after the PC user.

    your title is confusing.
    the pc user is using cc 2014 apps, correct?
    the mac users are using cc 2014 apps, correct?
    if so, there should be no problem.
    if someone is using cs5 to try and open a file created by a cc 2014 app, you will see the problem you described.

  • File created with Trial version cannot be opened by Captivate 5.5 (Ensure that the file isn't open, the file isn't damaged....etc.)

    Hi,
    I have a file created by Trial version of captivate. It was created in a different computer. Now, I have to make some modification in the file. However, when I tried to open it with Captivate 5.5, I got the error shown below. I am not able to use the popular solution provided in this link Click here to view   because the file was not created in my computer. I believe that there is a lock on the file since it was created with Trial version of captivate. Is it possible that I send the file to a representative, and they look into it?

    Was the file created with the same version? You talk about 'trial', but the only trial version available at this moment is Captivate 8. You were never able to open a Captivate project in a previous version, that explains why you cannot open it in 5.5.

  • Logic will not open files created with earlier versions?

    Logic Pro 9 will not open willnot open files created in earlier versions advising that attempts should be mad using Logic pro 7.  My Mac Pro wil not open this version of Logic "because PowerPC applkcations are no longer supported."  Any help would be very much appreciated since I need to have books reprinted.

    Hi
    I think that the PPC installer can be worked around (?):
    Make disk images of the Install Disks, mount them all, then use Pacifist to run the Install process
    Looks like it should work here..

  • Twonkey media server unable to read mp4 files created by new version of Leawo Blu Ray Ripper

    For the past week I have been ripping DVDs with a new version (v7.3.0.3) of Leawo Blu Ray Ripper.  The Twonkey media server (v7.2.9-1) on my WD4100DL will not read the newer files compared to movies ripped with the old version (v7.2.1.4).  My Roku media server does just fine.  Is there an upgrade of the Twonkey media server available?
    Thanks for any advice.

    I think that Leawo has helped me to solve the problem.  The MP4 files that I made using the old version of Blu-Ray Ripper apparently defaulted to H.264 video codec for MP4 files.  Twonky is able to read those files. The new version (7.3.0.3) of Leawo Blu-Ray Ripper defaulted to MPEG4 video codec.  Twonkey cannot read those MP4 files.  I have changed the video codec to H.264 in Blu-Ray Ripper and I am in the process of ripping a DVD now.  I will post the result.

  • How to open .doc files created with microsoft word 97... when using mac os x 10.7.4?

    hi!  i'm using mac os x 10.7.4 and have Office 2011.  i can no longer open older documents (.doc) created with Microsoft Word 97...  What can i do to get access to these files?
    thanks in advance!

    I had too many of these that I had to convert to a modern format. It isn't easy or consistent but one of these normally works:
    1. Open up Word and use the File/Open command rather than just double clicking on the file. Why does this sometimes work? I don't know! Save in docx format.
    2. Try opening the files in Office 2010 on a Windows machine. Again, immediately save as a docx file. This works more often than the advice above.
    3. Download the free LibreOffice and try opening it there. There will be some format problems but easily fixed. Once again, save in docx format.
    4. Breakdown and look for a dedicated format converter.

  • CC cannot open a file created in latest version

    I subscribe to CC. I tried to open a file from a client. I got a message saying I couldn't open it "because it was saved with a newer version of Adobe InDesign CC (9.1)". I hit the update button in InDesign multiple times and no updates for InDesign appear. I check my (PC) version and it is 8.0.2. My question is whether since my client uses a Mac is it possible that Adobe has a newer version(9.1)available for Mac which then cannot be opened on the newest PC (8.0.2) version?
    If that guess is wrong, does anyone have any idea what might be the problem?

    version 8.x is CS6...  download the CS6 CC exchange app.
    wait a min: thats something else

  • FM11 crashes when opening DITA files created with FM7.2

    Hi all,
    I am finding out new truths every day now about FM11 and DITA 1.2..
    The latest problem: FM11 crashes (on all our computers) when trying to open existing DITA files. These were created with FM7.2 using the DITA application pack. FM11 is newly installed and uses its standard configuration out of the box. Win7 64bit.
    No dialog opens, FM11 just hangs for a while, then dies.
    I do not think that I will put much effort in resolving this and just maintain existing projects with older FM versions. So just for interest, is this a known bug?
    Robert

    This isn't a new restriction, but it does have to do with the structure app implementation in FM. In the FM app pack (and all DITA 1.0 or DITA 1.1 implementations that I'm aware of), the structure app was based on the ditabase model, which allows all topics in any order in the same file. But with FM's DITA 1.2 apps, they created separate apps for each topic type, which restricts the topics in that file to that type. If you open the file with the DITA 1.2 ditabase app (is there one?), you shouldn't have any topic nesting restrictions.
    Regardless .. it shouldn't crash FM.

  • Why does my Acrobat IX not open PDF files created with my Adobe CreatePDF application?

    My Acrobat IX will not open PDF files that I create with my Adobe CreatePDF application

    Thanks for answering ... Long answer sorry ... recently upgraded from XP to Windows 7.  With XP I could create PDFs with/for any document I created ... I think the XP App was Acrobate Complete as well as I could print directly to a PDF file. In any case, I was always able to creat PDFs.  Since upgrading to Windows 7, I lost my ability to create PDF files by conversion or by printing directly to PDF format. Therefore, I purchased the Adobe CreatePDF application from Adobe for about $100.  However all Adobe CreatePDF files have a different screen icon and my Acrobate XI supplied with my new Windows 7 intsall does nor recognize the Adobe CreatePDF created files. I am guessing but I suspect the Adobe CreatePDF app is creating Postscript print files and not Windows compatible print files.  I would like to tell Adobe about this Bug or failure, but it seems I am unable to contact Adobe directly and talk/chat with a human. 

  • IPhoto will not open - says: Library created with unreleased version

    I can't even open the app. due to a message that reads "The photo library was created with an unreleased version of iPhoto. Please quit and update this photo library by opening it in iPhoto 2 or iPhoto 4." I haven't done anything to the library recently. I did install Photoshop Elements and upgrade to OS 10.5 within the last few days. I got the same message in iPhoto before the upgrade to OS 10.5 however. Can anyone help me get my iPhoto open?

    Olla:
    Give Terence's suggestion a try. You'll end up with a new library and your old one for further attempts at fixing.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
