My CS6 files will not open in CS4

I own the CS4 creative suite, and for a period over the last few years have been using CS6 from school. Now that my License has expired for cs6 my files wont open in cs4 at all. Is there a way to retrieve them with out having to buy cs6?

with id cs6 you have to save your file in idml format.
than open it with cs4 and resave it.

Hi, I need some help. Since I have changed to windows 7 I cannot open raw files with my canon mk 5D. The files will not open in cs4. Can somebody advise me what to do. I have done updates on CS4 and still cannot open the raw files

Can anybody advise me what to do as I am having problems opening raw files on CS4 since I have changed to windows 7. I am using a canon mk 5D.

Actually, you're not. That's not an accurate description of any of the Canon 5D models.
There are EOS 5D, EOS 5D Mark II, and EOS 5D Mark III models. Which do you have, specifically? Details will matter for this.
If you have a 5D Mark III (three) it's too new and you will not be able to directly open files with Photoshop CS4. You'll either need a newer version of Photoshop or to use the free DNG converter.

CR2 files will not open in CS4 or Bridge.

I can not open CR2 file in CS4 or Bridge. The CR2 images show in the preview window when I click the "open" button under "file". When I select the image to open I get "Unable to complete your request because it is not the right kind of document." I have uninstalled and re-installed the sotware, installed all the updates and get the same results. Any sugestions?

From which Canon camera model exactly?
The CR2 file is probably from a newer camera and probably requires Camera Raw 6 or higher.
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
CS4 is only compatible with Camera Raw up to version 5.7

You either have to upgrade Photoshop to version CS6 or higher
Or convert the CR2 file to DNG using the free DNG converter then edit the DNG files in CS4.

InDesign CS6 file will not open anymore

Upon clicking the icon for the saved file, I get this message:
"Cannot open the file'*****.indd'. Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application."
Ive tried copying the file to other places and renaming but thats not working. Im able to open other .indd files. Im working on a pc with windows 8. What do i do?

That's the typical message you get when either there is lock file (.idlk) that was not dleted for some reason, usually a crash, or the file you are trying to open isn't really an InDesign file. We see this fairly often when inexperienced users change a file extension.

Where are you getting your info from as I have personally opened a Windows After Effects project on the Mac many times!
Anyway Adobe state they are cross platform so this is pretty missleading !
MCR, you asked in your previous post:
"Is that true of all CS4 project files like Premiere Pro and After Effects?"
I answered:
"No."
Which means After Effects and Premiere project files are cross-platform. But Encore projects are not cross-platform.
Is that clearer?
Regarding your last sentence, if you're referring to AE and PPro files, that is true. But it is not true of Encore project files.

Mov file will not open on Premiere CS6 for Windows

I am a student working on a project that I started in university on an Apple Mac desktop. I decided to carry my project back home to continue with it on a laptop which is Windows...however the Mov. files will not open up on premeire pro and it is really frustrating as I have done a lot of work. How can I import these videos without losing any work or having to start again?

The file was corrupted somewhere along the way (assuming it was still readable on the Macintosh).
The platforms don't matter, but you still need file transfer that doesn't corrupt files...

Mac CS6 Bridge will not open

I know this has been discussed a lot on the forums and I have read all of those, but I am frustrated after 3 weeks of working on this. I bouht my wife Photoshop CS6 for xmas and loaded on our iMac running 10.8.2. She was running Elements 8. CS6 Bridge will not open. Get a message "operation can not be completed". It will also not open from inside Photoshop either. Following other posts, went into Library and deleted switchboard folder, plist files, and other listed files. Did an option start on CS6 and reset to factory, delete thunbnails. Performed PRAM and disk permissions repair. None of this has fixed the problem. The only thing that works is creating a new user account. Bridge opens fine in my test account. Next step is to make test account the main account; however, this is going to be a pain. Any other ideas before I undertake this?

Looks like you have tried all the suggested methods, so good job on that. Your solution to create a new account is one that has worked for many where nothing else has worked. This usually means some permission or default setting has not been affected by your actions.
The only suggestion I can offer is to uninstall CS6, run Adobe Script Cleaner, then reinstall. Hope this works.

I wanted a solution to the problem I was having on Win 7 Pro Service Pack 1 in that links on an open Adobe Acrobat file will not open in my Firefox Browser 33.0.2. The Error I receive is "Acrobat could not run the web browser. Unknown Error. (123)"

Change browsers. See what happens.

PDF files will not open in a Safari (v 6.0.5) browser window

PDF files will not open in a Safari (v 6.0.5) browser window, OS 10.8.5. Version 11.0.04 Adobe Reader and Plug-ins installed. Both local and internet files do not load. What is happening here?

Ok. I reloaded v 11.0.04 of Adobe Reader after quiting Safari 6.0.5 . Then deleted the 2 plug-ins AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin . Relaunched Safari and tried to read a pdf from a repository at the URL mentioned in post 10 . The file was loaded and displayed correctly. Also a pdf file from my local disk store displayed nicely as well. What I do not understand is that there is no listing of an Adobe plug in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins , nor does Safari list any Adobe plug ins. So in that case this means that plug-ins for the display of pdfs in Safari windows are no longer needed!
Adobe Reader version 11.0.04 is now working for me.
Thanks for the help and the solution C.F.McBlob

Freehand can't convert EPS files into editable vectors. I
usually run
EPS files through Illustrator and then into Frehand. If you
don't have
Illustrator you can convert the EPS into a PDF and that
Freehand will
sometimes convert into editable vectors (though it does
involve a lot
more clean up than going through Illustrator.)

I have just purchased a Canon 7d Mk2 but the raw files will not open in Cs5 and downloads of Adobe Camera Raw 8.7 will not install. What can I do?

Alternatively, install & use RawTherapee instead to develop your raw files instead (free and open source).

My Photoshop says it is up to date, but I am hoping that since this camera just came out, Adobe will have an raw file update soon.

DNG Converter is FREE. Yes, really. No subscription needed.
- Baloney, NOT FREE, it's a proprietary software, not open AT ALL, see Legal Notices, so stop trying to distort the truth here.
Camera Raw (& DNG Converter) 8.7RC has been available since 2nd October, and opens D750 files in Photoshop & Bridge (& Lightroom using DNG Converter).
Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw 8.7 Release Candidate | digital camera raw file support - Adobe Labs
- Still a cumbersome process for this of us that PAID for software and support, the whole point of this discussion is to implement this directly on LR, so we, the PAYING users don't have to waste time doing a useless process that could be EASILY AVOIDED ig Adobe released updates as they are needed, or if they OPENED THE SOURCE CODE so the community could do it.
Adobe created DNG, which is a well-documented backwards-compatible format, which is free for any manufacturer to use.
See here for manufacturers who do (it's an old list, but you get the idea):
http://www.barrypearson.co.uk/articles/dng/products_cameras.htm
- Really? Did you actually read the site? It has PRECIOUS information that illustrate my point: Adobe DNG is an attempt to stop the OpenSource community from achieving the goals of OpenRaw, which is TRUE OPENNESS, Again, Adobe is trying to get manufacturers to PAY LICENSING so they use a PROPRIETARY FORMAT that will HOLD CUSTOMERS on a PAID platform. OpenRaw is he answer for a true competitive environment.
Ask yourself why other manufacturers don't use a documented backwards-compatible format.
- Easy, because they are lazy and want kick-back. The SAME answer that I (and the entire OS community) would give if you asked about Acrobat or MS Office.
If you use a particular piece of software as your main tool, and you buy a camera which isn't yet supported by it, it's your problem. There is an expression used in the industry:
"Poor Planning on your part does not constitute an Emergency on my part."
- I agree here, it's MY PROBLEM that I decided to have a better product, it was my choice. I can still use OS Tools, which will be what I do moving forward, and about that expression, that is EXACTLY why Adobe will keep loosing customers, because the sense of urgency to help who pays their bills is inexistent. You are correct, why should they rush something so simple to help a customer right? Screw the customer... Thanks for making my point...

A Pages file will not open due to index.xml not found, what is up with that?

I recently saved a file on Pages 5.5.2. on my IMac hard drive. Now I find that on attempting to open it the file will not open due to index.xml not found. Hoe do I correct this?

I have this issue, as well - although perhaps in a different content. When I try to open a file I created in the previous version of Pages, I will frequently (but not always), received the "index.xml not found" message. I am very concerned that I may lose access to some of these files. The old Pages icon is still on my dashboard, although I've downloaded the new Pages (that icon only appears when I open a new document). I thought I needed to upgrade the old documents to the new Pages, but this didn't work. Does anyone have any ideas? And, I'm not a techie - so you'll need to break it down for me.

.mov file will not open in FCP X?! codec unavailable? help!

I am trying to edit a short .mov file in FCP X. It was sent to me via YouSendIt. Once it has completed downloading, a message reads:
" The document “S-T3RRA Video Heads by FLOOD(1)-2.mov” could not be opened. A required codec isn't available. To see if additional software is available that will enable QuickTime Player to open the movie, click Tell Me More. "
When I click tell me more, Apple provides me with some additional media support for QuickTime, however I should not need this for a .mov file correct? The file will not open in FCP X or QT. Any ideas? Suggestions? Was this file incorrectly exported by the creator?
Help!!
Thank you!

Yes, it will be encoded using a codec that's not on your system.
That is a common misunderstanding with .mov - it's not a format, it's a container.
It basically contains video & audio streams that may be mp4, mjpeg or just about anything.
In this case, the "anything" is what we need to find out, so we can work out what you need to read it.
You could try opening it using VideoSpec - it will tell you everything.
