My Creative Cloud won't open a CS8 Document?

My boss and I both have the same Creative Cloud and my boss has been working on a document in CC InDesign that I need to also work on and I can't open it. It says that it was saved in CS8? I had her try saving it down to CS6 but it still said the same thing? Why would it do this and how can I fix it?

So, every once in a while, a version-related error message from InDesign is correct. I'd be willing to bet you the beverage of your choice in the city of your choice (loser pays airfare ) that your boss clicked on the "InDesign CC 2014 Update" which is not in fact just a dot-version update, but a whole new application. If Adobe had stuck with the CS-designators, it would have been CS8, just as your install of CC would have been CS7.
I've been sending out links to Sandee Cohen's article over at InDesignSecrets on the regular for the last few days. Caveat clickor, I guess.

    Please provide details about your system like if you're on a Mac or on a PC. Also, let us know whether the Creative Cloud desktop app crashes or if it gives an error or if it doesn't launch at all when when you try to open it.

  • Creative Cloud won't open T3i RAW files .cr2

    I have camera raw updated to 8 and photoshop is updated to 14.1.  I don't know what I am missing.  When I try to open them it gives me this window.
    I can't open them in bridge either and I have tried on two different computers.  Can anyone help?  Thank you.

    The T3i (600D) has been supported for years, long before CC arrived - so updating 14.1 to 14.2 won't help. There's something wrong with your installation; suggest uninstalling and reinstalling Ps.

  • Creative cloud won't open at all...

    Is this the only way to download Lightroom?  I just bought it, after a few it finally says Lightroom is downloading now.  But it seems to stay at that for awhile and I start over again.  I just want to start editing my pictures already   I had the free trial and don't have a serial number, just signed up for the monthly plan...  I closed and can't even find how I got it to start downloading before.  Why can't I just do LR and not Cloud?

    Download from Amazon for ten times the cost...  But problem solved.  Can't even uninstall CC.

  • Adobe Creative Cloud won't install

    Hey guys,
    I recently tried to install Adobe Creative Cloud but during the installation process it will suddenly quit on me. I tried it again, downloaded the installer again, rebooted my computer, but still can't get it to work. I do have other Adobe products on my computer that I can open but Creative cloud won't. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
    Here is as much information that I can provide.
    Again, nothing is popping out. The installation just stops.
    I am using Mac OS X 10.7.5
    I downloaded this off firefox, and yes I have tried downloading it from a different browser.
    Not sure what firewall or anti-virus system I have.
    This has not worked before
    I have not made any changes to my hardware.
    I hope this helps.

    Hi adobe2368,
    It would help us if you could share the following  log files. You can find details on how to locate and interpret the installation log files at Troubleshoot install issues with log files | CC - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cc.html

  • My creative cloud will not open.

    I am on a limited free trial trying to learn photoshop, illustrator, InDesgn etc.before I make the decision to buy it, It is ridiculous that it just won't open and this is the third time.  I'm not sure, maybe it is my computer but the load circle comes up for about a second then goes away and it never opens.  How do I fix it so I can use the final days of my trial and is this going to be problem if I buy it?

    Nothing shows up.
    Tried to uninstall, with intention of reinstalling but when I used the uninstaller a popup notice says that it is uninstalled but with errors. No more detailed info of errors either.
    Please advise.
    Thank you.

  • Creative Cloud desktop app opens but none of the tabs are there

    I installed this to my laptop and it works just fine but on my desktop PC none of the tabs show up. Apps, Home etc are not there. It looks as if it never loaded properly but nothing happens no matter how long I leave it. This is the second computer I installed it to so too many installation attempts should not be a problem. I also tried re-installing it in case something had gone wrong but it makes no difference. I looked in the troubleshooting section but there seems to be nothing about such an issue.
