Will my version of OSX affect opening an InDesign document created with a newer version of OSX?

Can anyone using InDesign CC tell me if someone using a new version of OSX will prevent you from opening their file? I have my CC products updated and have had a few issues opening some documents....assuming the problem is with my OSX version???

ID files are not backward compatible (though the latest releases of CC, subscription versions of CS6 now use a cloud service to transparently make a .idml file that will open automatically when you try to open a file from a newer version). OS should not be a factor unless you upgrade the OS after installing the applications, then ID can get finicky.

On Windows Platform, encounters error when trying to open an Indesign document created from MAC

Hi all,
On Windows Platform, encounters error when trying to open an Indesign document in INDD format created from Mac. Error received "Either the file does not exist, you do not have permission, or the file may be in use by other application". I am currently using Adobe Indesign CC 9.2 Trial version.
Kindly advise how can i open this document on windows platform and allows me to edit the document.
Thanks!
With Rgds,
Fiona Choy

Normally there is no problem to open any INDD opening on Windows, when created on the Mac.
But Mac user are often not aware on the naming limitations. A file name must not contain /, \, |, :
It should not contain any extended character, it is not a primary problem but will be, if something links to that file, so avoid also: ÄÖÜäöüß+&
You can use all other non A-Z a-z, 0-9 and - and _
I personally would also recommend to avoid spaces.
This is valid for the INDD file itself but also for all linked content.

My Itunes library will not open becuase of being created with a newer version

I did create the library with a newer version of itunes, i did this so that i could drag songs from a folder i had on this computer earlier. Now it will not open. I need help quick cause i would love to be able to drag these songs over s they will be on my iphone. HELP!

Let me get this right...
You have an iTunes library which you are now trying to use with a version prior to one that you were using, correct? Why?
Why don't you use the most up-to-date version of iTunes?
If you try using version 10.0 (for example), then anything iTunes has sorted out using 10.5 will not be recognised by 10.0, which is why you get the message. Apple's advice is to always use the most up-to-date version of iTunes.

My iTunes library will not open because it was created with a newer version

When I try to open iTunes I get the following error message.
"The file iTunes.itl cannot be read because it was cretaed by a newer version of iTunes.
This happened after I downloaded version 7 in September. I can see that my library is intact but cannot get it to open. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Greg

Update it seems to be version 6.05 which is showing up when I check via my Computer.
i've seen this happen every now and then if an install doesn't go through properly ... the library files get updated, but the program files don't get touched.
let's try another itunes 7.0.2.16 install. we'll take a few additional explicit precautions this time.
download and save a fresh copy of the itunes installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
iTunes 7.0.2.16 Installer
if that install goes through properly, does itunes launch for you again?

Itunes library can't be opened because it was created with a newer version

my brother downgraded itunes from 7 to 6.0.4 and my library is no longe able to be read. but he was able to get it to work on his login. what do i do.

I too have fallen foul of the awful iTunes, version 7, which gives me distortion very quickly after starting a track, and seems to be missing the nice equalizer. The only advice I can offer for the future is keep a copy(say burnt on DVD) of all iTunes software versions. Also periodically burn a copy of the iTunes music folder which is usually in the MyMusic folder, onto DVD (or several DVD's), or put it onto a separate external hard drive if you have one. (However, don't have the hard drive connected when you upgrade iTunes software, as it looks in all places for iTunes files and as has happened with version 7, changes their format.) Then if you need to re-install, you can put a previous iTunes version back, and install the earlier version of iTunes music folder back. Fortunately, as I have just upgraded to a new computer, I had done this to move my music to the new machine. I know it is wise after the event, but they do say make back-ups! Usually, we do not expect Apple to make such a foulup of their software. Version 6 seems about as good as it gets and works perfectly with the Audigy board on my new machine. I hope for everyone sake Apple sort this out quickly!

Open Activity Monitor. Select All Processes instead of My Processes at the top and then reorder everything by highest CPU usage. Take a screenshot and post the image here.

Unless you deliberately downgraded iTunes this may be a sign of a corrupt library. SeeEmpty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.

Need to recover old playlists, old iTunes library will not open because it was created by a newer version?

I have a Mac mini, have installed iTunes on it and want to find some old playlists that were lost. I have several 'iTunes Libraries' with different dates but I cannot open any of them becauseit says they were created with a newer version of iTunes. Please help!

Somewhere in your process you ended up with an earlier version of iTunes than was used last with the library. iTunes 10.6.3 is the highest version that will run under OSX 10.5.8
iTunes 10.6.3.25 - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1575
If you had an earlier version and still want that version I am not sure how to go about this. My iTunes library file does not say it was created with a particular version, although I admit I have not looked at the .xml copy to see if it is buried in the file itself. Apple only has a very limited number of iTunes versions openly posted, though you can still find just about any version if you look in the right places. You would have to kind of start low and work your way up to where you want to be since once you open a library with a version it cannot be reverted to an earlier version (make backups first).

When I open Muse it comes up with a 'new version is available' and when I click on 'install now' it takes me to the adobe muse website where I click on the 'Download' button. It will then come up with 'Muse is downloading now'. It will then take me back to the Muse app again with the same 'install now' message. The new version has not installed, could some one please let me know the reason why it isn't installing.

Hi Jeff I have uninstalled Muse from my applications and have tried to download the new version but it displays a message 'file not found'. I have included a screenshot.

I can't open itunes because it says "it cannot be opened because it was created by a newer version of itunes." I've downloaded newest of Windows and itunes and it still won't work--help, please.

Hi--I can't get itunes to open because it says "the file cannot be opened because it was created by a newer version of itunes." I have installed newest versions of Windows & itunes recently, as the troubleshooter instructed, to no avail...Help!!!

This error prevents iTunes from launching. The library file was modified to work with the newer iTunes version, so it is no longer compatible with the previous version. The good news, however, is that Apple does backup the iTunes library file into a subdirectory that you can use to revert back to the previous version.
To recover a previous version of the iTunes Library.itl file, use the following steps:
Open up your My Documents\My Music folder.
We will first backup the current version. Rename iTunes Library.itl to something like iTunes Library.itl.bak.
Go into the My Documents\My Music\Previous iTunes Libraries folder.
You may see several files that start with iTunes Library and have a date included in the name. Copy the newest file in the folder.
Go back to the My Documents\My Music and paste the file from the previous step.
Rename the new copied file to iTunes Library.itl.
Your library should now be restored to the previous version of iTunes, and you should no longer receive the message.

Transferred iTunes library from pc to new mac, iTunes ; however, when opening iTunes on mac it reports the library was created with a newer version of iTunes and won't open.

Transferred Itunes library from pc to new mac; however, when opening itunes on the new mac it reported that the library was created with a newer version of itunes and could not be opened. It asked if I wanted to download updates and I did. However, the new mac is up to date. Itunes won't open. What to do now? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hello, Stephen.
Thank you for the question. You will need to rebuild your iTunes library file in order to open an older version of iTunes. Below, I have included the article that walks you through this process. Start with the section labeled Re-creating the iTunes Library file.

Pages 5.5.1: When opening a document created with Pages '09 (Version 4.0) with Pages 5.5.1 the page header and the page footer are deleted. How can this be prevented? Or is this a bug in Pages 5.5.1?

Same problem here (no graphics in header or footer) and the problem has been reported months ago. It is another bug/feature lost when Apple moves from 09 to the iCloud-compatible versions. Complain to Apple, you may have better chance than me and they may finally listen to their users....
