Will CS7 files saved as legacy CS6 be ok re-saved as CS7?

Students who bought Creative Cloud are getting messages that their files (Id, with other CS linked files) won't open in CS6 here at the college. If they go home and save the files as CS6, work on them here, what are the consequences of them working on them again under CS7?

You may need some schooling on schooling. I can mention it to the Dean, but he's quite busy and this is not his department. This is a purchasing policy set at a level well beyond any academic's pay grade. We could make an adventure, or challenge, or crusade out of it, and I have on other similar issues, such as service contracts which are (perversely) required for hardware that is obsolete during the contract period.
  The case at hand bears on a common accounting principle. Owning is an asset. Leasing is a liability. I love to go where everything is headed, unless it's up against a wall.
  We taught on CS1 until last semester. Really. We finally got a grant to upgrade from CS1 and PPC Macs. It will be a long time before we upgrade again. That's typical of colleges, just ask.
  The students can demand what they want, but they're glad (and at this point, lucky) to get into a class at all. Our college runs at >100% enrollment, with salaries frozen for years and no expansion of programs, including upgrades. The students graduate with crushing debt, so a one year rental contract is not something they want to sign up for, even if it costs less nine months after they've taken the class, a calculation I'm sure you'll understand. (They used to buy the CS Premium package through Adobe for $354 outright or get it ways we won't mention.) Economic reality really should play a part in Adobe's revenue model.

  • Cannot open CC, indd files saved in an earlier versions in CS6

    When attempting to open CC files inside of version CS6 that have been saved by students in version CS4 and later, I get the following message" Cannot open "fileName.indd" because it was saved with a newer version of Adobe  InDesign (CS7.0) You must use tht version or later to open the file... How can I open these files? I also get plugin messages.

    That's weird. But I guess they didn't properly Exported the file into an .idml file. Save As is different from File -> Export to idml
    If your student did just File -> Save As, thinking that Save As works just like MS Word that saving it will work with backward compatibility to a lower version of InDesign then probably it won't work.
    However, just ask them to Re-Export the file to .idml and see if you can open it in your InDesign CS6.

  • CS6 AI Cannot open a file saved from CS5 AI

    Had tried to save and rename the file and place in the local C: harddrive, filename only English letters. Doesn't work.
    Had uninstalled completely the CS6 Master collection and CC cleaner tools and reinstall the CS6 again, but problem still there.
    Using Win8.1 Pro 64bit desktop at home.
    Acrobat X Pro can open the AI file !
    I am going to reinstall back the old version CS5 Design Premium to keep my work going on.
    Is there a solution for this problem up to now ?

    Hi Peter,
    I'm guessing it might have been a network corruption problem. She brought in her laptop, we made another .idml file and loaded it to a USB stick, then transferred it to my computer. The file opened just fine. And yes, she had pasted all her images, so we have her collecting the bits and pieces for me to review and relink everything. I believe I have the patch, but will double-check. Thanks!

  • CC file saved in cs6, won't open with all layers in both versions

    Hello there,
    I really hope you could help me.
    Recently i designed a scetch in illustrator CC and saved it as usual (without extra options).
    Yesterday i worked on this same file in illustrator CS6, which i found acting weird but not paying attention and i saved it again as usual in the same file.
    Today i wanted to work on it again in illustrator CS6, but there are missing layers and all the layers i made yesterday are grouped and are in clipping masks.
    The worst part is i'm missing my sketch i made in illustrator CC!
    I've tried to open the file in illustrator CC too but it shows exactly the same, no sketch and all layers grouped and in clipping masks.
    I now know i had to save the file in illustrator CC with the extra options for multiple versions of illustrator
    Could anybody help me?
    The only positive thing is you can see the sketch etc. i made earlier in the preview when you want to open the file in illustrator cs6, that is why i hope it is not really gone!

    When opening a new file with an old version (CC file with CS6 in your case) you always open the PDF part of the file. In this PDF almost everything is flattened. There are no live effects, brushes or stuff. When you then edit this file in the legacy version and save you alo effectively delete any live stuff that once was there in the AI part of the file.
    Please read this:
    http://rwillustrator.blogspot.de/2006/11/whats-in-file.html
    When you want to edit newer files in older versions you always have to downsave. And even then things might get flattened, depending on which version exactly you save down to which other version.
    So unless you have a backup of the old file, your content is lost.

  • IDML file saved in CS6 does not open in CS5

    Hi there,
    Trying to figure out this problem. A file created in InDesign CS6 we saved it as a idml file to be opened from cs5. When cs5 tries to open it it complains about plugins are missing.
    Has anybody run into this problem?

    Does anybody know why Illustrator will open Solidworks DWG files saved in R2007-2009 version but not version R2010?

    Evidently Solidworks changed the output of their files to a format that AI cannot interpret. Just backsave in Solidworks to the required version.

    There's a good chance the file is corrupt. As whomever sent it to you to verify it opens on their end.

  • LR 4.2 will not send D600 NEF files to CS5 or CS6

    LR 4.2 will not send D600 NEF files to CS5 or CS6 whenever I right click on the image and chose "Edit In"...is this a glitch that is to be fixed in the upcoming LR upgrade or is this something I can fix now? Converting to a jpeg or dng before I can export to CS is a pain in the rumpus ;o)

    Try updating to Lightroom 4.3 RC http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/lightroom4-3.html
    And Camera Raw 7.3 RC http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/cameraraw7-3.html
    They are release candidates, which means they're undergoing final testing but they're much more stable than a beta version.  They have full support for the D600, so you should find the rendering looks better too.

  • Opening CDR file - Extremely Fatal to CS6 64-bit apps

    I'm trying to get down the bottom of what's causing an extremely serious error in the 64-bit version of Adobe Illustrator CS6.
    Adobe Illustrator can open CorelDRAW .CDR files, to a certain extent. The .CDR files need to be saved down to version 9 or 10 compatibility. One of my coworkers just ran into a really bad Illustrator CS6 crash caused when opening a .CDR file. This is a crash I had to endure on my own new system a couple months ago.
    After Illustrator CS6 64-bit crashes it simply refuses to launch again. It crashes and closes. Rebooting doesn't help. Deleting the AI prefs file doesn't help. Worse yet, the crash basically hoses all of the CS6 64-bit apps that are installed. The 64-bit version of Photoshop CS6 crashes when opening a file.
    The last time this happened my only recourse was to do a "factory reset" on my computer, basically wiping the hard drive and reinstalling Windows 8 Professional in a clean state and then going through the very long, slow process of downloading and installing the CS6 apps from the Creative Cloud.
    Does anyone in this forum have any experience with this particular kind of crash? Are there any possible alternatives that might fix this error besides wiping the hard drive and starting over? This bug is pretty badly timed. Gonna have to go through all the download/install process stuff again when the new CC apps are released.

    The bug is unpredictable. Once the bug has occurred Adobe Illustrator CS6 64-bit will no longer launch. Rebooting and deleting the aiprefs file doesn't work. Additionally the bug also permanently affects other CS6 64-bit applications. Photoshop CS6 64-bit will launch, but it crashes when opening any file. After Effects and Premiere Pro crash at launch. No third party plug-ins were installed on this computer.
    Affected computer's hardware:
    Dell XPS 8500 Desktop
    • Core i7 3770 Quad Core 3.4GHz
    • 16GB RAM - Dual Channel DDR3 1600MHz - 4 DIMMs
    • nVidia GeForce GT640 1GB GDDR5 SDRAM
    • 2TB 7200rpm SATA 6 Gb/s Hard Disc
    • DVD-R/W Drive
    • 19 in 1 media card reader
    • Windows 8 Professional 64-bit
    When this bug affected my own workstation a couple months ago, I tried to uninstall Adobe Illustrator CS6, download it again and then reinstall. Illustrator CS6 64-bit still refused to launch. The other 64-bit apps wouldn't launch either. So I ended up wiping the hard disc, reinstalling Win 8 Pro clean and downloading/reinstalling everything and just being careful to not open any .CDR files after that. My workstation is a little better equipped (Core i7 3770, 24GB of RAM, BD-RW drive, nVidia GeForce 660GTX, Intel SRT solid state drive with SATA 6gb/s 2TB HDD).
    Previously I did run into problems when opening CorelDRAW .CDR artwork that was larger than a standard letter sized page. I would get hit with a dialog box saying "the file appears to be corrupt." I'd end up making CorelDRAW save the artwork into Adobe Illustrator CS5 format and then opening it Illustrator. Once my Adobe apps got hosed by a certain .CDR file I simply stopped trying to open any CorelDRAW files directly in Illustrator at all. Didn't want to go through the long process of reinstalling everything from scratch again. Unfortunately my coworker didn't remember the details of my experience. So now we're dealing with it on her new machine.
    My coworker said she thinks she remembers which .CDR file caused Illustrator CS6 64-bit to crash. Here's a Dropbox link to it:

    Warning: I do not recommend other users to try opening this CorelDRAW file within Adobe Illustrator CS6. I'm sure not trying it on my installation!
    This particular .CDR file doesn't have any active type in it. But it does feature some strange clipped gradient effects. I think some of this artwork was originally created in Illustrator and then saved in CorelDRAW. I'm wondering if there is some sort of way Corel tried to reinterpret the artwork that caused Illustrator to lose its mind when reopening it. If memory serves correctly I was opening some similar Illustrator-generated and then Corel-saved art in my own copy of AI CS6 64-bit when it crashed.

  • Don't want new tiff files saved in my catologue if I'm only using the image for a composite.

    When editing in Photoshop CS4 from LR3, the new tif will not appear in the catalogue unless I save it in PS. In LR4 it saves a new tiff in my catalogue regardless if I save the edited image in PS or not. I have a cloud library I use often and do not want new files saved in my LR catologue if I'm only using the opened image for compositing. Can anyone help me figure out how to change the workflow to be like LR3?

    i think adobe should support new cameras for older CS versions too.
    in the end PS is expensive enough to justifie a better support.
    How far back would you go? One version? Three? Where should the line be drawn? Adobe draws the line at the currently shipping version...it's now CS5 and shortly it will be CS6.
    Even if Adobe were to do this, you do realize that trying to put new plug-ins into older software is really tough. For example on the Mac, Photoshop CS5 requires that the plug-in be written in Apple's Cocoa API. Camera Raw 5 required a major update to be able to run in Cocoa...retrofitting Camera Raw 5 to run in a PPC platform (supported by CS3/CS4 but not supported by CS5) would be difficult–a lot of work for zero return. As a result of the engineering challenges of backwards compatibility Adobe has the policy of only updating currently shipping software to current customers. Truth be told, if you don't have the most recent version, you are not a current customer...you are a former customer. Having Adobe spend R&D engineering backwards compatibility to support former customers would take resources away from supporting current customers. As a current customer, I wouldn't like that.
    But it's all a moot point because I don't see any evidence that Adobe is going to change this policy for backwards compatibility. In fact, going forward, Adobe is already announced the change to Photoshop upgrade rules allowing only the most recent version to be upgraded to the new version. Because of the reaction that only CS5/5.5 could upgrade to CS6, Adobe blinked and now has given a grace period till the end of 2012 for CS3 & CS4 users to upgrade to CS6.
    Again many people don't like this, but as a pro user of Photoshop, I always upgrade anyway so it has no impact on me. Yes, it will bite some people and I can have sympathy, but again, you always have the free DNG Converter to use in the case you need new camera support. And hey, the new cameras come with software to process their raw files, right?

  • Pages can´t open files saved in iCloud

    I can´t open any file save to iCloud
    I tried a workaraound:
    I couldn´t open a file save to iCloud from my iPad.
    I opened it from icloud.com and downloaded it to my iMac.
    Opened the downloaded file, and everything semed ok.
    I then closed the dokument and opened the file on my ipad again. Made som editing before I closed the dokument.
    Then I tried to open it again in Pages on my iMac, but couldent open it.
    Translated: Couldn´t open the file ".... ..."
    I also tried to open a file saved to icloud (without opening it on other machines and devises). Pages couldn´t open those files either...
    Can sombody help me?

    Possibly you have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5.2 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 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages 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 removed over 110 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs.

  • Computer crashed, files lost but stored on iTunes. Will my files still be there if I access my iTunes on a new computer?

    My iTunes was on my windows 7 pc as well as the mp3 files saved in my computers library. This computer fell and the hard drive I believe, is broken. I'm getting a new laptop soon and want to know if my songs on my iTunes will be there and if I can still make changes to them (title,artist,etc.) when they are not backed up in the computers library. None of these songs were purchased on the iTunes Store. Help please :(

    They won't be there unless you signed up for iTunes Match.

  • Files saved to NFS share by MS word cause finder to loose sync w/filesystem

    I am posting this bug report(#4699323, opened Aug 24th, 2006) I have open with Apple because there is no indication that they have even noticed it. Please reply if you have similar problems, questions, or suggestions. Bug report follows.
    24-Aug-2006 04:17 PM Erik Meitner:
    Summary:
    Files saved to an NFS volume by Microsoft Word dissappear from the Finder. Many times "Ghosted" icons of "Word Work Files" are left behind.
    Steps to Reproduce & Actual Results:
    1. Mount an NFS volume from a server(Mac or Linux, doesn't matter. NFS options do not matter.) from the Finder or command line.
    2. Open a Finder window to the mount point.
    3. Create a word document(test.doc), save to the NFS mount point.
    4. Make sure both the Word window and Finder window are visible.
    5. Type a single letter, Save.
    6. "Word Work File L_200098113"(the number varies.) apears and test.doc dissapears from the folder. Then the icon for "Word Work File L_200098113" goes "ghosted" (test.dc IS still there, just not shown. You can verify this in the shell )
    7. Type a letter, Save.
    8. The work file dissapears and is replaces by "Word Work File L_200098113"
    9. Rinse, Repeat ad infinitum.
    Expected Results:
    File saved & Finder does NOT get out of sync with the filesystem.
    Regression:
    * Only happens on NFS volumes.
    * Only happens with MS Word.
    * It happens on Panther(10.3.9) and Tiger(up to 10.4.7)
    * "Fast saves" in Word has no effect.
    * The user has full access to the root of the NFS volume.(a .TemporaryItems folder IS being created)
    * Verified that problem happens with all Versions of Office 2004 from 11.2.3 to 11.2.6(current).
    * Happens with ALL users: admin, local, and non-local(LDAP authenticated, network homes).
    Notes:
    * The work files(with "ghosted" icons) never show up when listing the folder via the CLI.
    * The original(test.doc) always shows in the CLI.
    * Relaunching the Finder usually causes the "missing" files to show again, but not always.
    * Problem is exacerbated by users losing faith in the system, thus saving very frequently, guaranteeing that the problem will always happen.
    * Only workaround is to have users work on files "off the network" on a local disk.

    Relaunching the Finder will restore the icons to the proper state most of the time. One can also use this application to force a refresh of a folders contents: http://www.brockerhoff.net/nudge/index.html
    I am not sure of the internal workings of "Nudge", but it does seem to be the best hack available to get the Finder to work properly.
    01-Sep-2006 08:48 AM Erik Meitner:
    I should also add that this problem is repeatable on 15 different Macs of different models, all running 10.3.9 with the latest updates.
    11-Sep-2006 12:41 PM Erik Meitner:
    Problem is repeatable on all 6 of our Machines running Tiger(10.4.7) with all the latest updates.
    20-Sep-2006 02:25 PM Erik Meitner:
    The "Nudge" tool mentioned previously does not always work especially for some users who experience this problem the worst. It will only restore the file to a "ghosted" icon that is still inaccessable.
    Moving the file to a different folder and deleting the resource fork file is the only solution in this case.

    OS X 10.4.8 update has not altered the behavior of this bug. The Office 2004 11.30 update seems to have caused the problem to happen less frequently. I would say it now happens half as frequently.

  • PSD files saved are not visible.

    Files saved from photoshop to a server in Mountain lion not visible. But when I save to desktop then move the file to the server, it recognizes that the file is there and I do an overwrite. Also happens with Illustrator files. Is this a MountainLion problem or CS6?

    Adobe takes no responsibility for working across a network to begin with.
