Open Files in Native Version not Newest

Is there a way in OSX that I can specify that a CS2 file be opened in CS2 and not in the newest version of CS3. I have been having issues with operators double clicking files and opening said file in the newest version when in all actuality it was created in an older version. I know if CS2 is open it will attempt to open in CS2, but if the app is not already running it will open in the newset Version of said application. Please help, I am getting a little onry about this. Thanks.

If the applications use the same file type, then the system will use the latest version. You can use Get Info (command-I) to set a specific default application on a file by file basis, but selecting the change all option just uses the file type, which is what you are wanting to avoid. Using Show Inspector (option-command-I) instead will let you select a specific application for multiple files.

Problems opening files in DW CS4 - not all files and folders are showing

Hi!
I'm trying to change some already existing files on the homepage but when I click the Open button, it doesn't show all the files and folders, even if I ask it to show all files. When I open the ftp folder in Explorer, I can see everything. I'm using Vista and Dreamweaver is version 10.0 Build 4117.
Most of the unaccessible files and folders were created using Frontpage a long time ago but this also happens when I create new files, although the new ones I created used one of the old ones as a template. Any help would be appreciated! It's rather annoying not to be able to access all the files.
Thanks a lot!
Mathias.

is not where you have told the page to expect it. Did you upload it?

Opening files from older versions of Keynote to newer versions

Grad student here trying to access her notes. I just updated my Keynote to version 6.2.2 from 5.1 (or so). I had tons of notes from previous classes on my Macbook I can't access because they "are not the right Keynote format." I searched the web for solutions and tried the one with converting the .key to a .zip doc and back, and that didn't help. Anyone have any solutions?

Play safe and continue to use version 5 to open version 5 files. Unless you have deleted it, version 5 is in the iWork 09 folder in applications.
There are many issues with trying to open older file types in version 6, if they open at all.

Open file dialog search does not show the correct files

When i use "open file" in the menu of, for example Pages, and then type a word of my desired file name into the search dialog it does not always find the file. Searching in Finder works. And the file is where it is supposed to be.
Does it use different kind of searches? I have "reindexed" spotlight but no avail.
Of course i can look for the file manually and then start pages by double clicking the file...
Any ideas?
thanks wolf

I'm not sure how Pages treats this, but it's possible that from an Open File dialog it may only search either the current directory or the default documents folder. Not sure about this as I'm not a Pages' user.

An error occurred opening file. Flash can not parse this document".

I working on a keyframe animation for a client. It was working until the recent flash player patch. Now the file is corrupt and not working. I have four back up files on two different hard drives, still no luck. I can't afford to keep recreating files when it should be probably saving in the first place. Is there way to recover the files properly? This devastating I really need some help. Thanks

Do the experiment, take a FLA file, change the extention to zip and open it, you'll see the content.
When a file is damaged, what happens, is missing information that makes up or this information was altered. In an image file, we can see the damage with incorrect color pixels.
A damaged word file has unknown characters and missing characters.
In both cases the files can be opened, the big problem is when the files are compressed, since a small lack of information is reflected in many small gaps.
The repair of compressed files, look for "holes", the lid infrmacion may or may not be correct, but allows them to be open.
Fla files are not encrypted, are compressed files with a certain structure and xml, with construction information.
In my experience, any FLA file will not open, open it worth trying this method

I get the message "cannot open file..InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in may be missing or file may be open in another application. This is a pdf file created by InDesign

How do I get the plug-in needed. I have updated InDesign, Acrobat and all other software but didn't help.

InDesign cannot open a PDF natively. You can Place pages from the PDF as linked images, or you can purchase a commercial plugin from Recosoft or Markzware that will convert PDF to InDesign.

Opening Files in older version of the Labview

hi,
i was working in the labview 8.2 demo version, in that i have developed some of the applications.
Now we got registered version of Labview 8.0 Application builder.
The files i have developed in the demo version of 8.2 is not opening in 8.0.
Please provide some suggestions ASAP,
because of this we are investing lot of time in rebuilting the application again.
Regards,
Raghu

Yes, you can have both versions installed on the same computer.
(I am curious. Why did you get version 8.0. Why didn't you get the registered version of 8.20 instead? )

PS7.0.1 Could not open file because it is not the right kind of

Hi:
With prior versions of PS I could open a .pdf, either from a single page file or from the whole document. But now using PS7.0.1 the subject error message is all that I get. I'm using a registered version of Acrobat 9 Pro to do the extraction. The goal is to extract a drawing from the pdf document, clean it up in PS and save for web publication.
I've looked at the forums, knowledgebase and Google with no luck.
Any ideas on how to get it to work?
Have Fun,
Brooke Clarke

Hi Buko:
-------SOLVED--------
In Acrobat under File Export there is an option for images in a number of different formats. Just the thing.
Thanks again & Have Fun,

Does the new Garageband open files in older versions?

Maybe a dumb question, but I couldn't find assurance anywhere that upgrading to GarageBand 10.0.2 allows backward compatibility. If so, maybe Apple should tout this in all the ads, notices and promotion....

Do we know why Apple neglected to mention this anywhere in their new feature lists, promotions, pop ups, ads, email blasts and message boards for GB?
Apple rarely publishes the reasons for such decisions, but it isusually expected that new releases of an application will be able to open the documents and data of the previous version. Apple will put a warning into the release notes if that is not possible.

InDesign won't open file - says I'm not signed in to Adobe C Cloud, but I am!

Anyone know how to fix this?
When I try to open the file, it tells me I am not signed into creative cloud - which I definitely am. And it tells me I have to go to 'help' then sign in, then restart adobe indesign.
I am already signed into adobe creative cloud however.
I have done this several times - completely signing out of everything, restarting computer, signing back into creative cloud, etc,... no solution.
Can source files be 'locked' or only opened by their original Adobe ID creator? I was sent these files by a good designer. Did he lock them by accident?
I don't even know if that is possible. He is now on a month long jungle adventure.
Please help - I don't want to spend anymore hours trying to get these files open.
Thank you community!

Opening Files Over VPN - Slow, Not Working

My home computer is connected to the office network via a VPN. The goal is to be able to work directly on files that are hosted on the office's development server. I've mapped a network drive, and I have no problem accessing these files with explorer. However, when I try to open them with Dreamweaver (or CF Builder) the program(s) hang.
Is there any way to fix this?

You are not alone, I have the same problem and a quick search on the web reveals others are having the same problem (yet no answers). It does seem to be an issue with DW; my other programs work fine in VPN.

Opening files in Reader and not Photoshop

How do I default pdf files to open in Reader instead of Photoshop?

You could try if reinstalling or repairing Reader fixes the problem; [Adobe Reader | Help | Repair Adobe Reader Installation].
Manually changing the file association is done by right-clicking on a PDF file, Open With, then select Adobe Reader.

Can't Open Files with new version 7.55.90.70

Just updated old Quicktime version 5 to 7.55.90.70. Now I get an error message when I try to open my Encyclopedia Britannica program that says "Quicktime is missing or incorrectly installed". It tells me to reinstall Quicktime from the Britannica installation CD. When I tried that, a message appears that a newer version of Quicktime has been installed and the CD can't reinstall version 5. So, it appears that the new version won't let me open the program unless I uninstall the new version and go back to the old version. That doesn't make sense. The new version 7.55.90.70 ought to support programs that used the old version. I have tried the fixes offered to repair the installed Quicktime with no positive result. Can someone provide advice? Thanks.

Im having the same problem too. I hope they could fix this
