Still can't open in CS3 from LR 2.1

I have updated to LR 2.1, re-installed Photoshop CS3, and done some other fiddles that were suggested in various places. But I STILL can't reliably send my files to PS the way you are supposed to.
Sometimes when I right-click "Edit in PHotoshop CS3" it works ok.
Most times it won't. When it won't, I look in Photoshops/Help/SystemInfo and see that Scripting support is ver 10.1 instead of desired 10.0.1. When it IS working, the Scripting Support is as it should be, 10.0.1. So I guess there is some remanent file or pointer to old version of Scripting support and probably other out-of date components, but how to fix it?
Since LR cataloging is completely affected by how you get your image into PS, this is more than just annoying. I understood Ver 2.1 would correct this (it says so in the readme) but no.
I have searched archives again, and looked through a few pages of topics, but not found anything recent on this. Doesn't mean it's not there, just that it's impossible to search effectively for most topics.
Can anyone tell me if there is any way to get this to work properly, and/or if Adobe are doing anything to correct it? I will not be buying CS4 just to fix this problem, since I have a policy now of not buying any new Adobe software until it works. That is becoming an increasingly long time. I just want my current software to work.

Does ACR open when you start the process in PS and use File / Open and select the RAW file?  File / Open is how Windows would do it, not sure on a Mac, but whatever you'd do in PS on a Mac to open a RAW file, without LR being involved.
In other words, is the issue with PS opening in ACR or PS being called from LR?
Also, if PS is already open w/o any file being edited--not as a result of a bad open from LR, but PS manually started up, does it work right from LR?  In other words if the invocation from LR doesn't actually involve starting up PS, but just communicating with the currently open PS does it work better?
You might just try uninstalling and reinstalling LR, again.  Or even re-installing PS, although LR is easier to re-install so try that, first.

  • Pages downloaded, but I still can't open iCloud pages from iPad. Says that I need a new version of Pages on my Mac

    For my Mac Pro, after I downloaded the new Mavericks OS, I downloaded the new pages. However, I still can't open iCloud pages from iPad. Says that I need a new version of Pages on my Mac.
    Please help.

    It appears that you are launching the old version, probably using an icon in your Dock. That icon is an alias & is not updated. You will need to go to your Applications folder & find the new Pages 5 icon & double-click it. Once it is launched, you can right-click on the icon & choose Options > keep in Dock from the contextual menu.

  • I use CS3 & with 7.2 download still can't open Raw files from Sony A99 camera

    This is a real setback until compatibility occurs. Anyone have the answer?

    Hi ecoessays1,
    Unfortunately CS3 does not support the 7.2 Camera Raw Plug-in. Here is a list of Raw-compatible Adobe Applications. From the list, you can see that Photoshop CS3 only supports Camera Raw 4.0 through 4.6. With that being said, the Raw plug-in Supported Cameras list states that you need atleast Plug-in 7.2.
    With that being said, you will need to upgrade your software version to CS6 or Creative Cloud (CC) in order to support Camera Raw on your Sony A99. Photoshop Elements 11 and Lightroom 4.2 and above also supports Camera Raw for your camera model.
    Hope this helps!

  • Updated to latest ACR 6.6 but still can't open CR2 files from Canon Rebel XSi

    I updated to latest version of Adobe Camera Raw 6.6 but still can't seem to open my CR2 files in Photoshop. Can't open them in Lightroom either, no preview in Bridge or OS.
    I'm running OS 10.7.2 and Photshop 12.1 x 64 which is CS5.1 I suppose.
    I've downloaded Canon's EOS utility hoping that would somehow do something as well but nothing.
    The images were shot on Canon Rebel XSi which is certainly supported by the newest version of ACR. So I have no clue as to what's happening... I previously downloaded these images onto my old laptop about a year ago and everything was fine, however now I'm not even getting a preview in OS. Do I have to revert to an older version of ACR (perhaps the same one I used originally?) to open these files again? These files have been stored on a hard drive, so I'm not downloading them directly from the camera-again, this probably has nothing to do with it but not sure what to do. A lot of the posts I've seen recommend downloading the latest version of ACR to fix the issue, but again I've done that and as a matter of fact the camera (Rebel XSi) has been supported for some time now...
    In OS, when the image is selected no preview:
    Lightroom error:
    Bridge, no preview:
    Photoshop error:
    Ideas, suggestions?

    Something appears to be wrong with your files.
    Are most of your images approx. 3.7 MB?
    This is very small for a 12 MP image.
    If you go back to the original file on your laptop, what is the file size?
    Also the fact that the Mac OS is not showing the preview is unusual.
    Perhaps these files got corrupted when they were moved to your new computer.
    Can you open these files OK on your old laptop?
    Is the OS showing the previews on your old laptop?
    Also compare the file sizes between old and new computer.
    Have you tried repairing your permissions?
    Try Disk Utility in your Macs Applications - Utilities - Disk Utility to see if this helps.
    Good Luck!

  • Can't open raw files from a supported camera

    Hi.  I just uninstalled pse 12, installed pse 13 and ran all updates.  I still can't open raw files from my Nikon D5200, which is a supported model.  It works on a Vista system I have with pse 12, so it definitely isn't the camera.  Any ideas?

    The D5200 has been supported since midway through PSE11’s life, so PSE12 and PSE13 should work ok.
    I’d suspect that the NEFs have been touched by Nikon software which can rendering them unrecognizable to Adobe products.  You can test for this by using Explorer to copy a newly shot raw file from your memory card to the computer and then see if that will open, making sure no Nikon software has viewed it or been involved in the copy process.
    If the files are corrupted, then a utility from here can reverse it:

    As you probably know the Canon plug-in enables Log & Transfer in FCP7. I'm not sure whether it works with Final Cut Express or not.

    I Have the same issue on a brand new iPad mini 2. My battery is only lasting up to 5 hours. I went on chat with Apple last night and they said my battery is fine and its a Safari issue. I'm literally losing 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tried recalibrating my battery, signing out of iCloud, shutting off all locations, turning off background app refresh, restoring network settings, restoring all, and finally restoring from iTunes with no luck. This is just awful. I got this iPad so I could use it on my long flight for a trip I have coming up, and unfortunately, it's not going to last that long, plus I'm concerned about how many times i will be recharging my battery because of this since battery's do have a life cycle dependent on the number of charges. This is frustrating and needs to be fixed ASAP and addressed by Apple.
    By the way, Apple told me to bring my device to the Apple Store because it's still under warranty. That's great and all, but I'm going to waste my time if there is no fix for this issue.
    Ok so you want Apple to address the problem, but yet you don't want to take it to them just in case they can't fix it? What if they can fix it? Complaining here certainly won't fix it.

  • HT1750 Pages, This document can't be opened because it's too old.  To open it, save it with Pages 09 first          still can't open pages document

    I recently purchased a new Mac and I am having difficulty opening older Pages documents.
    Pages, This document can't be opened because it's too old.  To open it, save it with Pages 09 first          still can't open pages document

    Either you have access to Pages ’08 v3, Pages ’09 v4, or neither. One of these older, but more functional versions of Pages can open, and export the document in question to Word. Preview on OS X 10.9.5 and Yosemite can view Pages ’08 documents (in my experience). It is not obvious to me that Preview may be using the installed Pages ’09 v4.3 to assist in opening these '08 documents.
    Once opened in Preview, you can select/paste text into Pages v5.2.2, or v5.5. If you want the images from the PDF, then export it from Preview as PDF, and then drag/drop onto latest free LibreOffice icon in the Dock, which will open the PDF for editing. Select, copy, and paste the images into Pages v5, or incorporate into Text boxes, or Shapes. When pasted, images will be in their original size/resolution, not necessarily as small as they appear in the PDF.
    If the second paragraph is a chore, then follow Peggy's advice above on the sources for purchase of Pages ’09.
    In the future, I would not recommend trusting document architecture to Apple, and use a more accessible format (.doc/x) for better cross-platform access, longevity, and application choice. You may find LibreOffice, or Office for Mac 2011 a better choice for features.

  • Illustrator CC 2014 can't open files sent from Draw.

    Illustrator CC 2014 v18.0.0 (just installed today, 11/6/2014): I can't open files sent from Adobe Draw. The files send from Draw OK, but in Illustrator—which finally opens as advertised—I get an error message, i.e. The file "Dog - Drawing 1.draw" is in an unknown format and cannot be opened. This goes for all of my work, whether created in Ideas then opened recently in Draw, or files created in Draw from scratch.

    Illustrator files (.ai or .pdf)  that I save using CC 2014 vs 8.1.0 on my Windows (8.1) machine on our network server. I try to open them on Mac.
    'The File "x.pdf" is an unknown format and cannot be opened'
    This may in some way be related to accessing the file over the server since when I transfer the file to my lcal drive I don't get the same error.  I still can't open the file but I get an error near the end of the opening process :
    "Could not read the file because the plug-in made an invalid request of the Photoshop adaptor"
    Again, I can open this file using CC 2014 vs 8.1.0 on my Windows (8.1) machine.

  • Can't Open ACR files from Bridge in Photoshop CC 2014

    I Can't Open ACR files from Bridge in Photoshop CC 2014.  I have uninstalled the programs, and all other versions of PS several times, but no matter what I do, I can't open a raw file I have opened in Bridge, in PS CC 2014. I have to click Open in Photoshop CC 2014 in Bridge.
    Also, on my workstation PC (Win 7 64bit), if I don't open PS prior to opening Bridge, then when I try to open a file from bridge it says it can't run PS on an earlier Operating system than Win 7!
    I have done exactly the same instalation on my notebook, same OS, and everything works perfectly - I just don't understand.

    Guys! This question was asked almost two months ago, and still no-one has replied? I'm still stuck, no matter what I have tried, I cannot find a solution. And please don't ask me to re-install AGAIN, I've done this several times and it simply does not work.

  • Can't open Office documents from share on Windows 8

    We have a problem with a customer that they can't open Office documents(Word,Excel etc.) on Windows 8.1 image on a network share. The error message is just that the document can't open.
    The documents are on a sharepoint site and we can open the documents within the site and also we can open the Office documents on a Windows 7 image from the networkshares.
    Also can't open the documents if i copy them to the local desktop.
    I think there is a group policy for Windows 8 for this but I don't know for sure?
    Anybody?

    Hi,
    As I understand, the issue is that customers can’t open office documents on windows 8.1 on a network share or copying them to the local desktop.
    Per my test, I can open documents on windows 8.1 on a network share.
    1. By default, Word doesn't trust files in temp directories from your browser. You can add the
    network address and local address to the trusted list. From Word 2010/2013: Click File > Word Options > Trust Center->trust center setting->add new location.
    2. You can create a shortcut on the desktop using the network address and then open the documents by that way.
    3. To narrow down the research scope that you can create a new document library->Download a problematic file (an Excel workbook or a word document) to your local->Upload the local file to the new document library->do the same option to check if
    the same situation will occur.
    There is a similar case:

    Hi Sara Fan,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I have added the profile to the trusted locations but without success. Also a shortcut is not working. I still can't open any Office document on that location(Error message: location ***.xxxx can't be opened). The problem occurs on every client.
    1. Opening Office documents under local administrator account, domain admin account is working fine
    2. Re-image the machine is not a solution
    4. All locations use the same Windows 8.1 image through SCCM
    3. When the user logon to another location(site) it's working fine and they can open Office documents so it seems site-specific
    4. The problem is specific from 2 sharepoint shares. We can open office documents from other shares.
    5. Can't open Office documents from the library on the sharepoint site(browser), but on another location it's working fine.
    Problem only occurs on Windows 8.1 image with domain users. Other locations of this company do not have the problem. Note, every location have their own OU for users/clients.
    Any other suggestions?
