Why will .indd file not open in id CC?

I have chapter .indd files from a production group. The Links folders are in the same file folder. I get file type not supported, missing plugin, or file open in other app when I try to load the id chapter files. Any suggestions?

Are you sure about all the file types?
And you are using the current version of InDesign CC, version 9.1.0?
There is a script by Jongware you could use to identify the version of an InDesign file:
IDentify.jsx

You can run it from InDesign and check the file from the production group…
Maybe it was gone corrupt in transfer to you?
Did you recieve a zip archive with all the files and folders?
(That would minimize the possibility of corruption)

  • .indd files not opening with recently installed Indesign CS3

    The .indd files don't have the Indesign icon next to them, instead they have the win32 icon. When I double click on one of the files an error message appears telling me that...
    "this file is not a valid win32 application"
    Even when I right-click on the file and choose to open with Indesign, it tells me the same thing. Also in this options menu, Indesign is not shown with the Indesign logo next to it, but rather the windows generic 'unknown file type' logo.
    If I open Indesign first however, and then choose file>open and choose the file. It opens fine.

    Exactly my situation yesterday, with the icon disappearing and INDD files not opening within InDesign from Explorer.
    I'm using an early XP Pro, which I guess qualifies it as 32 bit.
    The steps to rebuilding everything using the Folder Options in Windows Explorer are:
    Tools > Folder Options > File Types
    If INDD is not listed, click the New button to creat an entry, otherwise select it and click the Advanced button.
    You have an option to change the icon, so navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS3 and select the InDesign icon.
    Then under actions you need to create four actions that will relate to the context menu choices when you right click an INDD files, so click New and add actions for edit, open, preview and print.
    In the Application used to perform action box enter "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS3\InDesign.exe" "%1"
    Those quote marks are important. Just browsing to InDesign.exe will fill the box for you, but for some reason - for me at least - it creates the %1 indicating to open the file you selected, but it doesn't wrap it in quotes. And without those quotes (at least on my machine) InDesign will start but won't load the file.
    There is also a check box to use DDE. I don't know what's appropriate here, but I ticked the box and it works OK.

  • Why will PSE 12 not open on PC, Windows Vista?

    I downloaded PSE 12 a few days ago. After downloading, I opened PSE 12 and everything appeared OK, so I uninstalled PSE6.
    When opening it again, PSE 12 transferred all my pictures to the Organizer, but the Editor would not open.
    After re-opening PSE 12 again, neither the Organizer, nor the Editor will open.
    PSE 12 appears to be installed on my computer in my program files.  I am using a PC - Windows Vista.
    Please inform me on what to do.
    Thanks

  • Why will my firefox not open all the time on my windows xp pro and gives me an error message instead?

    I some times get this message "The instructions at "ox879ab0e3 referenced memory at "ox879ab0e3" . The memory could not be "read". Check ok to terminate the program.
    And sometimes the session will simply not update since the firefox has shutdown but the then present sites are open but won't update.
    If shut down my computer and restart, I have better than an 80% chance that fire fox will not open---probably less than 29% chance that it will open. I have to just repeat the shut down over and over until fire fox will open.

  • WHY WILL ADOBE READER NOT OPEN PDF FILES?

    I have just downloaded free Adobe Reader X. When I try to open a pdf file I immediately get a Microsfoft box saying "Adobe Reader has encountered a problem and needs to close"  I have Windows XP. Has anyone else experienced the problem and what did you do to fix the problem so pdf files open?  Setting in control panel is for al pdf's to be opened by Adobe Reader, and when I downloade, I briefly disabled my anti-virus software.  Really frustrating,  Can any one help?

    We saw the same symptoms as you describe.
    It turned out that the new sandbox feature in Reader X is not compatible with Re-Directed "Application Data" folders.
    Disabling the sandbox safety feature (via a special registry setting) appears to be a workaround, but somehow we now feel less safe.
    Folder redirection involves group policy as used in large corporations with IT teams to manage large numbers of PCs in companies.
    For example, in corporate environments, users My Documents and AppData folders are often re-directed at a secure server share, so that people's documents/photos/mp3s they save into my documents are secured on a server, instead of scattered about on various PCs.  Home users never use this technology.
    However, If you've got Adobe Reader X installed to a different DRIVE to the one where your APPDATA folder is, then you might get the same effect.
    I guess this could also happen to peole with Windows installed on their D: drives, and Adobe installed on the C: drive, or similar.

  • Why are my files not opening in PS, when I select "edit in ps" ?

    The external editor is Photoshop CC 2014 (PSD, Profoto, 16bit, 300ppi).   When I select edit in ps, ps opens but the file does not.  I suspect that I changed a preference somehow in the process of setting up the radial menu for my wacom tablet, or when I deleted Photoshop CC, when I realized that I had both PS CC, and PS CC 2014 on my system.  Would appreciate guidance to make necessary corrections, so files open in PS.

    See Rikk's response above.
    Solution 2: Run a repair mode installation of Photoshop CC 2014 from the Creative Cloud desktop application.

  • Why will Adobe Reader10 Not open the PDF when I press the "Help" button in my software Sibelius?

    Hi There,
    I'm running windows 7 on my lap top (64 bit) and installed Adobe Reader 10. I use Sibelius software to write music. In the In the Sibelius Menu bar is a "Help" button. When you click on this the reference books (on PDF's) that are provided are suppose to open up. This is not hppening.
    When I go to the Adobe file and right click I see at the bottom "Properties" it is in this area that I believe I'm suppose to give Adobe Reader 10 permissions to open PDFs. I'm not sure though what exactly needs to happen.
    Who can help me!!!
    If you wish call me at 512-947-4931
    Thanks,
    David

  • Why will Logic 9 not open some of the samplerinstruments?

    I just recently bought Logic 9 from the appstore. I've downloaded the app plus all the additional content. Unfortunately many of the samplerinstruments wont open when I click on them in Logic. It's not just a few instruments but many!!! So far I'm up to about 20 instruments that fail to load because of missing audiofiles - and I have only gone through the 10-20% of all the instruments...

  • Why will alias files not preview in Bridge (running version CS5).

    it just shows up as a pdf icon...any help that could steer me in the direction of what i'm doing wrong would be great! thanks!
    You are not doing anything wrong, an Alias is not a file containing a preview, it is just an alias of the original and clicking on it reveals the original file itself.
    Try a collection from the files, a collections contains also a kind of an alias but that does show the thumbs as they are.
