What can I do to open a large InDesign document that crashed.

My doc was in CS4, (I have CS5), it froze up I had to force quit now when I try to open I get a "Failed to Import" error.  Does anyone have a solution for this or do I lose the day and go back to yesterday's document?
I shut down the computer and came home for some sleep before I tackle this. I am on deadline any help is appreciated.
Thank you.

My doc was in CS4, (I have CS5)
Err, this is confusing. Which is it?
Were you editing a cs4 doc in cs5?
If you can still open the ddocument, try exporting to IDML and opening that. But in general:
do I lose the day and go back to yesterday's document?
This is probably the way to go. And you also know it is going to work, so you won't be wasting a lot of your time trying futile efforts...Sorry for the bad news.

    Thank you for responding.  Nothing actually worked!  After reading the posts online, I called Apple.  They indicated they have seen problems with some software after their upgrades.  The technician was able to fix the problem on my computer remotely, but I have no clue what he did!  But, it was definitely related to their recent upgrade to my computer.

  • White screen with a crossed out circle which flickers to the Apple logo sometimes, but won't open. What can I do to open it?

    Help!!  I'm in Belize (not a good place to be with an Apple, as international as you may claim to be!) and my computer decided to "quit" thusly:
    White screen with a crossed out circle which flickers to the Apple logo sometimes, but won't open. What can I do to open it? (I do have my recently backed up data with me, but no loading discs for my computer.
    Hoping there is a solution,
    Diana

    The make of the disk doesn't really tell us how your data is being backed up onto that disk. Do you know what software it uses?
    For example Time Machine copies files every hour in a way that is not bootable, but you can extract those files & get all your data back into a working OS.
    Carbon Copy Cloner duplicates a disk in a way that is bootable - it would appear when holding alt at startup so you could use that to boot & inspect the state of the internal disk.
    It may also be Seagate's own software that does something different.
    Please try recovery mode, if that works you can try repairing the disk in Disk Utility.
    OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support
    If that works, select Disk Utility & see if the internal disk can be repaired in the first aid tab.
    Recovery mode can also download OS X & reinstall it, however you really need to know if the backup contains everything before that is attempted, otherwise you may lose data. The OS is also around 5GB so you may have issues if your internet is capped or unstable etc.
    P.S.
    I have no idea if this is helpful, but there may be help out there…?

  • I am having difficulty opening my iPhoto on my macbook. Every time I try to access it, it freezes or the application will just not open at all. What can I do to open it successfully?

    I am having difficulty opening my iPhoto on my macbook. Every time I try to access it, it freezes or the application will just not open at all. What can I do to open it successfully?

    Select iPhoto in the Applications folder the type Command+i to bring up its Info window.  That will tell you what version it is.
    As a first fix attempt do the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • Just installed Lion and now my Word, Excel and Powerpoint no longer work. What can I do to open all old documents?

    I just installed Lion to my Powerbook that I purchased in October 2010. My Microsoft Word documents no longer open and my Mac version of Word, Excel and Powerpoint no longer work. What can I do to open all old documents?

    Upgrade to Office 2011. 
    You must be running Office 2004, which was designed to run on PowerPC Macs.
    PowerPC apps would run via "Rosetta" on Snow Leopard, but with Lion, Apple has finally pulled the plug on PowerPC apps.

  • What's happening when Word opens and saves a document?

    Hello,
    I got very unspecific question, but I don't know where to start. I have an open xml document which gets generated by a third party tool. If I open the document using open xml sdk it looks VERY different from how it looks like when I opened and saved it before
    using Word 2013.
    I'm trying to get an understanding on whats Word doing! From what I've seen it's doing some remodelling on the xml file, since it looks very different (other and way more descendants than before) and I would like to achieve the same thing using open xml.
    Although this might be already to much information: The generated word documents contains html code with links to pictures. After Word has touched the file the picture is inside a drawing element, before it's not but in Word both versions look the same.
    I'm thankful for any help you can give me.
    Cheers Andreas

    Hi Cheers Andreas,
    >> If I open the document using open xml SDK it looks VERY different from how it looks like when I opened and saved it before using Word 201
    >> What's happening when Word opens and saves a document?
    This forum is discussing about Open XML developing. This is not exactly an OpenXML SDK questions. To be frank, I do not know exactly what Word opens and saves a documents either (this is the implementation details of the product).
    If you are interested on it, the forum below might be more appropriate for you:

    >> From what I've seen it's doing some remodelling on the xml file, since it looks very different (other and way more descendants than before) and I would like to achieve the same thing using open xml.
    What do you mean by “other and way more descendants”? Do you mean that you want to add new nodes in the xml document? In my option, different objects in word have different nodes. You could refer the link below for more information about Word processing.
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/EN-US/library/office/cc850833.aspx
    If you have issues about OpenXML SDK, since it is a new issue which is different from your original issue, I suggest you post a new thread for the new issue in this forum. Then there would be more community members to discuss the question.

  • What can I do to improve a blurry quicktime video that was SMS'd to me it is a 1.24MB .mov file and I have QuicktimePro. It was taken on an Iphone but I am not sure with what software.

    What can I do to improve a blurry Quicktime video that was SMS' texted to me? I think it was taken on an Iphone and it was sent to me as a 1.24MB .mov file and I have Quicktime Pro if that helps. I REALLY need to make this as clear as possible, the audio is good, video is blurry. Here is some additional data:

    anything I can even try? Sender is off the grid? I don't need a production ready copy just viewable?
    You can rescale (stretch) the size of the display but this will only make it blurier and/or introduce pixellation. When the file was encoded at a lower resolution much of the original data was thrown away to make the file smaller. This data is gone/missing and cannot be recreated from what is left. What you've got is all you have to work with. Any filters you can apply will require re-compressing the file again which will likely introduce more artifacts and increase the size of the file without really improving its overasll quality.

    You can select 5 (or more images) and place them by dragging in Adobe InDesign. After creating document go to File > Place, navigate to images and select them. In InDesign start dragging and press right arrow key couple of times then release mouse button. You can export file as PDF, JPG, PNG image from File > Export.
