Unable to open various CS3 .indd files - no error message

Hi, running CS3 5.0.4 on a G5 Leopard.  Most of our .indd files will not launch - no error message though - and nothing appears but the program launches fine.  I've found other .indd files that will open fine.  The files in question haven't been used since February though the ones that will open haven't been opened/updated as well.
I just installed CS3 to my Macbook Pro but same result.  I tried copying the files to my desktop but no diff either.  Since I get the same result, I'm inferring this is not a preferences issue.  I read about exporting to .inx but Export is not available since the file does not open, if that would help in this case.
The main commonality I'm noticing is the "bad" ones have similarly small sizes around 20-28k which seems too small to hold any data.  I just created a new document and by default it is 808k.
Does anyone know how to recover from this issue and what the cause is/was?  I'm hoping this is a known, recoverable issue please!
Thanks,
E

    I recently did a system update and installed Yosemite on my Mac. Now I am unable to open CS5 at all. The error message I get is this: "To open Adobe Photoshop CS5.1, you need to install legacy Java SE 6 runtime." I have tried downloading this and it still gives me the same mess

    In the details it is mentioned that it is an outdated version of Java.
    Is this a security risk that i need to live with to get CS5 to run with Yosemite?
    Also i need to reject messages from Java in the future about updates, or not?
    thx for any input

  • HT202879 I am stumped - trying to open a recent Pages file but error message says that I need a "newer version" of Pages.  My software updates show that there are no updates available.  I recently updated Pages but it is not consistent.

    I am stumped - I am trying to open a recent Pages file (created with a newer software that I thought was correctly installed recently) but error message says that I need a "newer version" of Pages.  My software updates show that there are no updates available. Pages 09 version 4.3 shows as my current version.

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
    Note: Apple has removed over 95 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

    THis is safe for Mac's? Sorry, I have just never heard of this site before.
    And there are literally tens of thousands of sites of which I've not heard, too. Not this one.
    It's legit. There are lots of links in Apple Support Communities to the LibreOffice web site, as well as others that are legitimate open-source developers of options to buying MS Office, such as NeoOffice and OpenOffice. I have Open Office installed on one of my older Macs that can't run Office 2011 and it is rock-solid.
    I've been here too long to start posting bogus urls now.

  • "Unable to open a virtual memory file" and "Unable to initialize Photoshop" errors

    Hi
    I installed Photoshop CS6 64-bit on Windows 7 SP1 64-bit.

  • Opening Photoshop CS3 psd files in Photoshop CS2 (Mac Tiger 10.411)

    Is it possible to open Photoshop CS3 psd files in Photoshop CS2? After I created them in Photoshop CS3 I reset the preferences to maximize compatibility "always", then I resaved all the psd files. Do you think this will work? I have to open them in CS2 tomorrow at work...

    Also, some old features may have changed in the new version. Specifically, I had some CS3 files from a client that had smart objects that did not open correctly in CS2.
    As I recall, CS2 was able to open a flattened version of the file, just not fully layered with smart objects.
    I actually had CS3 on my laptop, just not on the tower I wanted to work on, so I opened the files on the laptop, rasterized the smart objects, and saved. After this, CS2 opened the files with layers.

  • Unable to open USB port device file: Permission denied

    I have an up-to-date system (full "pacman -Syu" yesterday), I am in a "lp" group and the printer (Canon Pixma MP270) started to give "Unable to open USB port device file: Permission denied" error, although in the past it worked and still works in Windows. Doesn't anybody have a similar problem?

  • Unable to open a specific xlsx file

    Hello,
    I am unable to open a specific xlsx file on my iPhone 5 which has iOS 7.0.4 in quick look.
    I able to open other .xlsx and this specific file can be opened as a .xls
    Unfortunately, I am unable to post this file due to security issues.
    Would anyone know if there is a reason why I cannot open this as a .xlsx?

    So there are two .xlsm files that I am using.
    Both of which have the same code.
    It is just the name of the reports which are different.
    The macro code is used to email this report to the user which is on an active worksheet.
    Once this has been emailed, we are able to open the report generated by one .xlsm code that spits it out as .xlsx but not the other on the iPhone.
    I am able to save the other report as a .xls and send it across and I can preview it in Quick Look.
    Unfortunately, the users do not possess the Numbers app.

    I had installed ADK to utilize the latest and greatest DISM tool. That broke WAIK and the boot.wim could not be found when updating the deployment shares. Thanks for the pointer...
    Paul Prindle MCP, A+
    That is because WAIK and ADK are unsupported as side-by-side installations.

    Hi @all,
    i've read all the dócumentations i've found in the net but unfortunatly the Indexing of my filestored documents fails every time...
    So what i've done is the following:
    --Step 1 Create User
    --The following SQL command creates a user called MYUSER with a password of myuser_password:
    drop user textuser;
    CREATE USER TEXTUSER IDENTIFIED BY TEXTUSER;
    --Step 2 Grant Roles
    --The following SQL command grants the required roles of RESOURCE,CONNECT, and CTXAPP to TEXT_USER:
    GRANT RESOURCE, CONNECT, CTXAPP TO textuser;
    GRANT EXECUTE ON CTX_CLS TO textuser;
    GRANT EXECUTE ON CTX_DDL TO textuser;
    GRANT EXECUTE ON CTX_DOC TO textuser;
    GRANT EXECUTE ON CTX_OUTPUT TO textuser;
    GRANT EXECUTE ON CTX_QUERY TO textuser;
    GRANT EXECUTE ON CTX_REPORT TO textuser;
    GRANT EXECUTE ON CTX_THES TO textuser;
    begin
    ctx_ddl.create_preference('COMMON_DIR','FILE_DATASTORE');

    end;
    begin

    end;

    commit;
    create index myindex on mytable(docs)
    indextype is ctxsys.context

    I gave an chmod 777 on the document "Zwischenbericht1.doc"
    So what can i do?????
    I use Oracle 10.2.0 on Suse Linux 9.2
    I'm very happy about Ideas and helpfull advices.
    Thanks a lot regards Julius

    Hallo Barbara,
    thanks a lot for your help!!!
    I've noticed that it is necessary to create the user textuser as ctxsys. So i've done like you recommended but unfortunately the result is the same.....
    I added an utl_file Path to my SPFILE. (utl_file_dir= /home/oracle/mydocs) as you can see below. (is it necessary to something else to the spfile which i haven't noticed at all???
    After that i tried to set up all by using sqlplus for having the possibility to show the results.
    Below you can see the statements, the connect-Changes (ctxsys/textuser)
    and the echo .
    Do you or somebody else have an idea what i can do additionally to get this working???
    Thanks a lot and regards Julius

  • Possible reasons for BCP import failure? [Unable to open BCP host data-file]

    Hi,
    I have inherited a process where a bunch of tables are being prepared locally with python and puched to a database. It fails and I don't know why, though my first thought is access rights. I have admin access to the database (and server?) using SQL server
    authorisation. Here is an example BCP command being churned out by the python script:
    bcp "[TEST].[dbo].[ISP_2014_flat]" in "flat_files/ISP_2014_201504011504.csv" -U admin -P XXX! -c -t ^ -S "xxx20039999\DZUHE00999,2311"
    SQLState = S1000, NativeError = 0 Error = [Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 10.0]Unable to open BCP host data-file
    What can I check that might be responsible for this problem?
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    Below are points that you can consider:
    I don't think you need double quotes (") around the table and filename.
    If the file is on shared folder, provide the UNC path like
    \\server\folder\file.csv and even if it is in local try providing full path
    Make sure the file is not opened by someone (if it exists already)
    If it works from SSMS and doesn't work if run via SQL Agent then Agent account must have access to the file
    You can see few examples given in BCP Utility and also you may give try using BULK INSERT too
    bcp Utility
    BULK INSERT (Transact-SQL)
