What to do with indd file that I can't open?

So I have a file made on Mac and ID CS4. The file is corrupt and I can't open it on the Mac. Tried to open it on PC with CS6, but the same problem appears. At one moment ID even give an Error code 4, but there is no explanation what do that error code mean. Can anyone help me figure out what to do?

Occasionally it works to open as a copy.
If you aren't able to recover it that way, and the cost to rebuild is high, you should consider the recovery service from Markzware. There is a fixed take-in fee, and then the recovery charged based on the size, complexity, and amount recovered from your file. Bad InDesign or Quark File Recovery Submission Form
David Dilling of Markzware offered a discount on on the recovery fee on a trial basis for forum users who provided a link to where they learned about the service here on the forum, but I don't know if that offer is still available.

  • What to do with .dll files that Support told me to move to my desktop during troubleshooting

    I have Windows 7.  I went to get into my iTunes after the latest iTunes update failed, and I got an error message about a .dll file that was missing.  So I went to the support site and followed the resolution steps to fix the problem.  The first part of the steps involved going into the iTunes file and moving all .dll files to my desktop which I did, then rebooted.  Still problems, so I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, and all is well.  But I still have all those .dll files on my desktop.  Can I remove them?  Do I put them back somewhere?
    Thanks.

    If you get iTunes working properly again, it's safe to delete the files on the Desktop.

  • What is the largest pdf file that iBooks can read?

    I have two large maps (largest is 74MB).  They are in the iBooks library but when I try to display one, it thinks for about 10 seconds, then bombs back to the iBooks icon.  I have read a much smaller map pdf successfully.  So I'm thinking that I'm beyond iBooks' capacity.  Any thoughts?
    Thanks

    Apple suggests to iBook's authors to keep the size less than 2GB iBooks Author: iBooks Store publishing overview
    You may have too many apps open which doesn't leave enough RAM to open.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • Why can I open THIS .dng file, but I can't open THAT .dng file?

    I have one folder with .dng files that I can open in CS3 Camera RAW.
    I have a second folder with .dng files, that says, "Photoshop does not recognize this type of file," when I try to open them.
    Both folders where shot with the same Lumix LX-3 and passed through DNG converter.
    What am I doing wrong?

    Because of changes to the DNG spec over time, you must now choose what sort of backwards compatibility you need in the DNG Converter preferences...for Photoshop CS3, you need to select Camera Raw 4.6 as the ACR version. You should also be sure you've properly loaded Camera Raw 4.6 (the last version for CS3) .

  • When logging on to Hotmail, a window opens asking me "What to do with this file" for "default.aspx"

    This morning, I am unable to log in to Hotmail. The homepage appears normally, but after I enter my email address and password and click to submit them, a window pops us asking me what to do with the file "default.aspx." I have a Vista machine, and last night my computer automatically installed a ton of Microsoft updates. In fact, the update list shows that one of the updates failed to install. At the end of this message, I have pasted the details of the failed update. I have checked the Hotmail support forum, and someone else posted that the have experienced the same problem this morning. The Microsoft "expert" asked him or her to contact Mozilla for support for this issue. Thanks in advance for whatever help you can provide, although I highly suspect that this is a problem on the Microsoft/Hotmail end, not yours.
    Here is the info on the failed software update from last night...

    Hotmail is rolling out a server change at their end which might be causing this problem. Mozilla has spoken to them about it and they are trying to fix it. I won't be able to provide you a time estimate by when it will be solved but hotmail/mozilla is certainly looking at this issue.
    I will let you know if get any updates!

  • Is there a format for a file that I can use for attaching a one page document with photos embedded that will open in everyone's email automatically?   I've tried PDF and Word, but worked only in Mail.  Lost formatting when just copied and pasted in email.

    Is there a format for a file that I can use for attaching a one page document with photos embedded that will open in everyone's email automatically?   I've tried PDF and Word, but PDF worked only in Mail.  Word worked in nothing.  I also tried copying and pasting the document but lost all formatting when just copied and pasted in email.  Is there a way to do this?

    Are you sure PDF won't work? It should as what you're trying to do is pretty much what it is designed for (PDF - Portable Document Format). On a Mac anywone who receives the file should be able to see it in all its page layout glory by using the app Preview or Adobe Reader. Same on a PC, the file should be viewable as a PDF file using Adobe Reader and probably some other viewer (don't use PCs so not sure what other apps).
    What application are you creating the file in and are you sure you're exporting it correctly in PDF format, fonts and images embedded?

  • What are the .fm.sp files that are created when using SharePoint?

    What are the .fm.sp files that are created when using SharePoint? When I'm working with SharePoint, I've noticed that duplicate files ending in .fm.sp are created. I've been unable to find any reference or documentation about them so far.

    Whe you use sharepoint as a CMS connections in Framemaker it creates the folder where Sp is installed and also a file ending .sp is created that let SP know that its the file associated with it.
    .fm.sp indicates that its the framemaker type SP file.
    Dont worry about it as its not creating any mess in the system.

    I suggest you get 9.2.  You need to install the same or later version of the OS.  One some computer the shipped version has extra drivers.  The drivers will not be in the official release in this case 9.1.  They would be in 9.2.
    Mac OS 9.1 (Mac OS ROM 7.5.1) and Mac OS X 10.0.4 (4P13)

    Try holding down the option key then power on.  This brings up the startup manager.  Click on your hd. Click on right arrow key.
    You need to figure out the level of your firmware before installing 10.2 or greater. ( The PC name for firmware is BIOS. ) Installing 10.2 with a down level firmware will most likely make your iMac unusable and difficult to fix.
    What is firmware?
    The firmware software receives control when you poweron your machine.  It does some hardware testing and some hardware configuration then passes control to your version of Mac OS.   It reside on a PROM ( program read only memory ) chip on the logic board.
    Figuring out what level of firmware you have?
    Open Firmware, boot into Open Firmware.
    Power on your iMac while holding down command+option+o+f
    The first output line contains the firmware level. Mine reads:

    Copyright 1994-2001 Apple Computer Inc.
    On my machine, I have 4.1.9f1.
    What firmware do you need?
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117
    For a slot loading iMac, this article indicates that you need to be running 9.1 or later version of Mac OS Classic.

    "The iMac Firmware Update 4.1.9 will only run on iMac computers with lot-loading CD or DVD drives running Mac OS 9.1 or later from a local drive. If you are using Mac OS X you must boot from a local Mac OS 9.1 or later writeable partition (not a CD, or network disk) prior to following the update instructions."

  • What is the best software programs that I can use to read, write and modify data / files on external HD (NTFS format i.e.  Windows) ?

    Hi guys,
    I’m new to Mac and have a MacBook Pro Lion OS (10.6.8 I think !!!) with Parallels 7 (Windows 7) installed. Can someone please tell me what is the best software program that I can use to read, write and modify data / files on external HD (NTFS format) from the Mac OS ? I heard of Paragon and Tuxera NTFS. Are they free ? Are they good ? Are there any other software programs out there ? I heard that some people have issues with Paragon.
    Thanks.

    Your best bet would be to take the drive to the oldest/compatible with that drive Windows PC and grab the files off, right click and format it exFAT (XP users can download exFAT from Microsoft) and then put the files back on.
    Mac's can read and write all Windows files formats except write to NTFS (and in some cases not read) so if you can change the format of the drive to exFAT (all data has to be remove first) then you will have a drive that doesn't require paid third party NTFS software (a license fee goes to Microsoft) for updates.
    Also it's one less hassle to deal with too.

  • When I watch tv shows in Front Row that I've bought off iTunes the audio gradually falls out of sync with the video. It does not happen with other files that I have converted into mp4s. Any ideas for fixing this? It's a huge bummer...

    When I watch tv shows in Front Row that I've bought off iTunes the audio gradually falls out of sync with the video. It does not happen with other files that I have converted into mp4s. Any ideas for fixing this? It's a huge bummer...

    I too have the same problem.  The audio drop out of sync in about 5 sec in not uncommon for the audio to be 30+ sec behind video.  Apple needs to fix this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   its a joke,  my iphone is all messed up after the last update as well.  at one time not to long ago apple products and software were top rated, not so much any more, more and more problems are showing up and apple is unwilling or unalbe to fix the many issues.  Apple needs to fix the audio sync problem, it not the computer hardware or other software it ITUNES!!!!,  there is no workaround other then hitting pause and hitting pause and hitting pause to temp fix the problem.
