My InDesign cs 3.0 Cannot Open .indd or .inx Files originally created in cs 4.0

I have been trying to open inDesign files or inDesign Exchange Files with my InDesign cs 3.0 Version. The files I cannot open were created in InDesign 4.0. They were then saved for me as InDesign 3.0 and 2.0 Files in the form of indd. and .inx files.
When I try to open the .indd files I get the Error Message 'Content Manager' that the file cannot be opened and that I should update to the newsest Version of InDesign or update my Extensions / Plug ins.
When I try to open an .inx file I get the message that 'this is not a valid exchange format'.
Can anyone help me?

Hi Bob
Thank you for you  answer - I did download and install the April 2005 version 3.0.1 cs. It told me that the update was successful. However when I look at 'about InDesign' it still shows me 3.0 version. Does this mean I didn't actually update it right? or is this update you told me only compatible with inDesign CS2 and not CS3?
I also tried to open the talked about files, still not possible...
I appreciate if you can help me furter...
thx Bob
...and
see screenshot of my indesign version after 'successful' update and a restart
and this is the link from where I got the update

  • CANNOT OPEN HYPERLINK IN ADOBE DOC ORIGINALLY CREATED IN WORD

    Our office creates documents in WORD, which includes a website link. These documents are then converted to pdf. Until recently, we had no problem clicking on the link in the Adobe document to access the website. All of a sudden, however, the link in the pdf file doesn't work (doesn't go anywhere; even if you right click and ask it to open the link). It works fine in the word document. I've noticed that the hand symbol in the pdf file now has a "W" symbol over it and am guessing that this is telling me what the problem is, but have no idea how to fix it.
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    I had a similar problem. I could not open a word hyperlink which pointed to a pdf file on a network share. To cut a long story short I uninstalled acrobat professional (writer) Then opened the hyperlink successfully by manually pointing it to acrobat READER. You can then re install adobe acrobat pro. I did have acrobat reader as the default program to open .pdf files but for some reason im unsure of it was still using the wrong software. Hope this helps any poor souls having the same problem i had.

    Please!
    Thanks!

    If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
    The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
    Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

  • Cannot open .xls or .doc files

  • I have just upgraded to OSX 10.6.8 and now I cannot open or save PDF files from the internet. I get a dialogue box saying the QuickTime plugin has failed. I have tried to download the latest plugin but this doesn't work. Can anyone help?

    I have just upgraded to OSX 10.6.8 and now I cannot open or save PDF files from the internet using either Safari or Firefox. I get a dialogue box saying the QuickTime plugin has failed. Can anyone help?

    Is this what you downloaded: iTunes 10.7?
    When the update fails what if any error report do you get, specifically? Please do this before trying again:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

    Hi All,
    When a shared library with read-other permission is loaded, it remains loaded (and available) even if no processes are currently using it. This allows faster execution, but may result in a message like "Cannot open or remove a file containing a running program" on installs or rebuilds of application libraries.
    Refer to the man page for subroutine dlopen and command slibclean.

  • Mac OS 10.9.4 cannot open the NEF/RAW files from the new Nikon D810 Camera

    I have a new Nikon D810 camera. My new iMac cannot open the NEF/RAW files from it...Anyone have any knowledge of this?

    If you will take the time to send Apple feedback, they will add RAW support - when I got my Canon, it wasn't supported either. I filed feedback and, two months, later, there was an update which included my camera model.

  • Error Happened at RFC Server Cannot Open the Job Batch File.

    We have BW 7.0  and Data services 12.1. We are scheduling a Infopackage in BW that triggers a job in Dataservices server.
    We had checked the connection between Dataservices source system in BW and RFC server on Dataservices side and these connections are good. on the 3rd party sellections tab in infopackage we specify the batch file name that we exported in Dataservices server. When we execute the infopackage we get the following error.
    Error Happened at RFC Server Cannot Open the Job Batch File.
    This error started occuring from yesterday and prior to that it was working fine. We are not understanding what changed in the system to cause this error.
    Can anyone suggest any solutions for the above issue.
    Thanks,
    Naveen.

    I'm not sure what the root cause would be here. Is the file still available ? Did file permissions change ? ...
    But I wanted to point your attention to the fact that in Data Services/Data Integrator XI 3.2 (=12.2) we significantly enhanced the integration with BW. In XI 3.2, the RFC server is now integrated into the Data Services Management Console (so no need to start as a seperate executable) and you can start jobs from BW by just specifting the job's name in the repo (no need anymore to export execution commands to .bat files). So if upgrading to XI 3.2 is an option, things should go much smoother.

  • Cannot open a downloaded pdf file..."The file couldn't be opened because it isn't in the correct format."

    I have had this problem several times lately: I cannot open a downloaded pdf file. The error message reads: "The file couldn't be opened because it isn't in the correct format." But, of course, it is a pdf file.

    My MacBook Pro (2.5 Ghz Intel Core i5) is running OS X 10.9.4. Here is what happens when reading an online user manual that I want to save to the Desktop and read later as a PDF file on my iPad or phone. With Safari I will select "Export As PDF" and the file shows up on the desktop. Even after multiple trials, there will be a dialogue box indicating the file cannot be opened. If I check the file info, the size is "zero." Trying to save the file as a pdf using the Print menu yields the same results. I have tried both of these methods using Preview, Adobe Reader, and PDF Pen Pro. This strange behavior also occurred several weeks ago and I finally abandoned the effort. But when the same thing happens twice, it becomes an issue that needs to be resolved.

  • I cannot open all email attachment files(pdf, doc, etc) in Mail on my New IPad.

    I cannot open all email attachment files(pdf, doc, etc) in Mail on my New IPad. I installed all viewer apps but I am not able to click and hold to select the option of viewer apps to open the files. I dont get the "open with" option when I click on the arrow in the menu bar. I can open attachment files on G-mail website from Safari though. It is really ridiculous that I cannot open the files from Apple Mail app! What's wrong with it!!

    We cannot possible know what's wrong with it. But we can offer suggestions that might help.
    Try resetting the iPad - its like rebooting a computer.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This might help as well.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again

  • I recently updated to the OSX 10.8.3 Operating Sistem.  I am writing a book and now cannot open any word document I've created.  Could not find a newer version of the Microsoft Word Processing Program.  Is Pages the next thing? Can I recover my documents?

    I recently updated to the OSX 10.8.3 Operating Sistem.  I am writing a book and now cannot open any word document I've created with the old system.  Could not find a newer version of the Microsoft Word Processing Program.  Is Pages the next thing? Can I recover my documents?  How?

    I'm in the same boat: new to OS X and Mac, and in the middle of a book. I switched because I heard about the the ease of using Mac, but so far, for me, it's been a nightmare. I bought 2011 Office Mac and hate everything about it, the most recent being the inability to open or cut or paste any of my original word files. I understand that this could have easily been done with earlier versions, but not Mountain Lion (which I learned is what OSX is.) Since I work with language, I am amazed at the assumptions of the Apple community. It helps to use common language and explain even the basics.  
    So all the helpful hints to use the latest version of Office Mac are to no avail. Now what?

  • Cannot open Nikon 1V2 Raw files in CS5

    Hello!
    I cannot open Nikon 1V2 Raw files in CS5
    Camera Raw Version is 5.0.0.178, PS CS5 Version 11.0.2
    Anyone have a suggestion that does not involve upgrading to a newer version of Photoshop?
    Thanks!
    Kelly

    Does this mean that I can't get Camera Raw 7.3 with Photoshop CS5?
    Naturally.
    Photoshop CS5 does not use ACR 7.
    I did read about using the free DNG Converter but that seems like an extra step I would prefer to avoid if possible.
    Either upgrade Photoshop or use another means to process the RAW files, and cost-wise DNG Converter can hardly be beat.
