Windows explorer doesn't recognize indd files

I just recently upgraded from CS5 to CS5.5. Now I can't open Indesign files from Windows Explorer. I have tried to use the "open with" and Indesign is not an option and then when I browse to select Indesign.exe it defaults to the main "open with" dialogue box like it won't except Indesign CS5.5 as an option. I can however open the file within Indesign itself. This is VERY inconvenient. Any help would be really appreciated.
WindowsXP, CS5.5

Well the bad news is that your install is a little damaged. The best thing you can do is reinstall. I'd try first to do a "repair" which involves runningthe installer again without removing anything. Be sure you turn off any antivirus or malware scanners befor you run the installer, and it would be a good idea to stop instant messengers and iTunes as well.
If that doesn't work, you'll need to uninstall and reinstall again clean. I personally would run the clean tool in between the uninstall and reinstall for good measure (Resolve installation problems with CS5 Cleaner Tool) I would allso run MSConfig before doing the reinstall and make sure you disable all non-essential startup programs and services, especially the ones mentioned above and any browser helpers or extra toolbars.

  • Windows Explorer doesn't display some files until I play or get info for them in iTunes.

    Windows Explorer doesn't display some files until I play or get info for them in iTunes.
    How do I get them to all show up in Explorer without playing them all one by one?

    I think I solved the problem by going to File -> Library -> Organize Library

  • Windows explorer doesn't open LLB files.

    was running LV6, 6.1, now 7.0 on win98 machine.
    recently ran microsoft regclean and now I have no more support for
    viewing inside .LLB files through windows explorer. Attempting to
    re-enable this through LabVIEW/tools/options does not help.
    Any hints?
    thanks
    paul

    It appears that running regclean has busted this function by
    removing 7 entries from the system registry.
    Running ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS/National Instruments/LabVIEW/repair,
    repaired the problem, and returned Windows Explorer support for LLB
    files, unfortunately it also removes the LabVIEW registration name and
    Ser#, but this can be easily found (and repaired) in ...
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    SOFTWARE
    NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS
    LABVIEW
    7.0
    in the system registry and values typed in for Registered Owner & Serial
    Number fixes the 'unregistered' on the splash screen.
    back to the LLB Explorer support problem,
    What I actually did was to,
    1) run regclean to make sure there wasn't any crap in the registry.
    2) fix the LLB Explorer support
    problem by 'repairing' LabVIEW from the
    ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS system function.
    3) run regclean
    4) rename the 'UNDOwhatever.REG' file (in regclean directory) to 'Fix
    LabVIEW LLB Support.reg'
    5) Finally, double click 'Fix LabVIEW LLB Support.reg' to put the data
    back into the system registry.
    In this way, if I ever run regclean again and it removes the LLB
    file support in Windows Explorer, all I have to do is run 'Fix LabVIEW
    LLB Support.reg' instead of repairing (re-installing) LabVIEW.
    I did this in on a Windows 98 system with LabVIEW 7.0. Your milage may
    vary with other platforms or applications.

  • After Upgrading Acrobat Reader XI to Acrobat XI Pro the previewer in Outlook and Windows Explorer doesn't work.  I have to set the default program for .pdf's to Acrobat Reader inorder for the previewer to work.

    After Upgrading Acrobat Reader XI to Acrobat XI Pro the previewer in Outlook and Windows Explorer doesn't work.  I have to set the default program for .pdf's to Acrobat Reader in order for the previewer to work.
    Can anyone recommend a solution?

    If I set the default program for viewing PDF as Acrobat XI Pro the a PDF file will open with Acrobat XI Pro, but in Outlook I will get a white screen and the information bubble "This file cannot be previewed because there is no previewer installed for it" and in Windows Explorer I get a white screen in the preview pane.
    My Acrobat version is 11.0.10
    I am running Windows 7 Professional with Service Pack 1
    My Internet Explorer is Version 11.0.9600.17691

  • IPhoto doesn't recognize .jpg files and can't open it. What may I do now?

    iPhoto doesn't recognize .jpg files and can't open it. What may I do?

    a common problem is that you don't have permission to upload those files, but it is an easy fix
    1) Finder
    2) Users(it should have the account name on it)
    3) pictures
    4) right click on iphoto library then click info
    5 on the bottom of the new window there should be a sharing and permissions tab
    6) make sure you have permission to read & write
    The only other problem I can think is that you are having problems with hard drive space. if so you might want to clean up your hard drive to free up some space. please let me know if that worked for you.

  • CS5 doesn't recognize older files.

    I have recently started upgrading our CS4 users to CS5 (Standard Suite). The first Windows user that I updated came to me witha  weird issue.
    When he navigates to a folder with the Photoshop files, the icon shows it as being an unrecognized file type. It won't open when you click on it either. He has to right click, and open as...Photoshop CS5 in order to open it. Even when he makes changes and saves it as new it still doesn't recognize the file.
    I uninstalled CS4 from his machine, could that be causing this issue?
    Thanks,

    You *could* just reinstall the newer software...

  • Windows PC doesn't recognize iPod

    I have bought my iPod (20GB, click wheel) one year ago with an extended warranty of 3 years. It was working well all the time. But now my Windows computer doesn't recognize the iPod any more although I haven't changed anything on it.
    The battery can still be charged using the docking station. But as soon as I plug in the iPod on my laptop USB port the iPod freezes. The only message on my laptop screen says that the external hardware can not be recognized.
    The USB port is working properly.
    I have also tried to install the iPod update and to reset the iPod. Nothing is working. I guess I can't restore the iPod since it's not even recognized.
    Thanks, Annemarie

    I thought I was alone with this problem. I recently went traveling last weekend, and began to think the X-Ray machines killed my iPod!
    Whenever I connect my iPod to any computer using the USB connection, Windows will not mount it as a removable drive. The cable is good, because the iPod is being charged but Windows will not recognize it.
    I have tried all the different USB ports, even on several different computers. Including my work, laptop, and my desktop. Windows will not recognize my iPod using the USB connection.
    I'm in the process of restoring my desktop computer after a hard-drive failure (lucky me all my vital data were on a separate drive), so my desktop has a nice clean install of Windows.
    My desktop has a firewire port, so I tried connecting to that port and Ta-Da, Windows recognized and mounted my iPod as a removable drive! Unfortunately my laptop nor my work computers do not have firewire ports.
    Can anyone explain why the USB function suddenly stopped working? Does this mean I need to restore and loose all my music from my iPod? I do not let iTunes manage my music, I do that all myself. I can put my music back onto the device but it will be time consuming. If anyone knows the answer to this USB problem, perhaps you can reply to this thread or contact me.
    Thanks,

    I am trying to update ipod touch from ios 4.3.2 to ios 6.1.3.  I have it connected to my computer, and the summary in itunes indicates the update is available.  However, when I click "update", it opens Windows Explorer and waits for a file name to open.

    I am not at that computer now, but I did check via windows update & with the check updates menu choice in the itunes program  - neither indicated a newer version of itunes is available. (it is a vista computer).
    The itunes software on the computer displays my ipod & the current ios (4.3.2), and indicates a newer ios is available (6.1.3). When I choose "update", I am taken to Windows Exploer and prompted to choose a file to open. it is as if the "update" button has the incorrect code attached to it.

  • I'm trying to e-mail music scores and audios, but I receive an error message saying Preview doesn't recognize the file format, regardless whether I use .mus, .pdf, or .mp3.  I haven't come across Preview or this problem before.  Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    Firstly, your country is detemined by several factors, including your phone's regional settings, your SIM card and your NokiaAccount settings, if you used this phone whilst abroad then you may need to check that your regional and account settings are up to date since you have arrived in Canada.
    For services like Gigs, you should also ensure that the MixRadio app has access to your phone's GPS location as well as the main location being on in the phone settings. To check this, as well as Location being turned on in the phone settings, in MixRadio itself go to Settings>Location>On:
    The concern with favourites may also be related to location, if the music from certain artists is available in Canada but not where the service might think you are, availability of content may vary from region to region.
    If all settings in both the phone, your Nokia Account and the MixRadio app are correct, we may have to investigate deeper.
    It is impossible to comment on your camera without seeing it, you cold have the phone checked by Nokia Care locally, but of course if it was supplied in Europe it will be covered by the European Limited Warranty which is not valid in Canada.
    If this or any post answers your question, please remember to help others by pressing the 'Accept as solution' button.

  • I can't import MXF files shot on a Canon C300 into FCP 10.1.2.  I have the Canon plug in for MXF file to FCP import but FCPX still doesn't recognize MXF files when I try to import. Premiere works fine importing MXF on the same computer.

    Russ and Luis,
    I did uninstall and re-install Canon XF Utility and the Canon FCPX plug in.   Still no luck.  I checked the CanonXF64.RADPlug folder is on my computer in the Rad Plugins folder in application support  This is where it is supposed to be as far as I can figure out. 
    Another piece of the puzzle is that  footage shot on a Canon C300 in 2013 and  I reimported today and it DOES import into FCP10.1.3.   Footage shot on a different Canon C300 filmed this summer will NOT import into FCPX.  The latter will import into Premiere. But I am trying to work in FCPX, but maybe I shouldn’t be??
    Any ideas?  (screen shots below)
    Thanks.
    Peace, Huey
    FYI Here is what Canon says
      "There is another trick that works sometimes though.  Try uninstalling the plugin and XF Utility.  Then, install the latest XF Utility, followed by the plugin, in that order."
    I did do this but no results.  Otherwise they say I need to wait for a new plugin.
    Here's 2014 Canon C300 files does NOT import to FCPX
    Here's 2013 Canon C300 files does import into FCPX.  I thought it was Contents folder but another set of footage shot on C300 does import and there is no contents folder for that. 

  • Cannot open CS6, it craves JBX-plugin, and my Mac doesn't recognize the file so I can't download

    I wonder why CS6 is not complete when downloaded? Why should I have to download JBX? If needed it should be a part of Indesign. My Mac doesn't have a name of a file to open and download, so now I simply don't have CS6 and can't convert my book to Kindle for sales on Amazon.
    Terribly disappointed!

  • I can't import Nikon NEF (RAW) files.  It says it doesn't recognize the file.  Help.

    I just installed Nikon Transfer and then View NX2 with Nikon Transfer 2 and successfully transferred over 300 RAW (Nikon NEF) files from my camera (Nikon D600) but Lightroom (v5.6) won't import them.  It says it doesn't recognize the files.  How can I resolve this?

    Obsolete versions of Nikon software corrupt Nikon raw files slightly making them unrecognized in Adobe products.
    You can reverse this corruption by using the utility from the following webpage:
    http://owl.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/fix_corrupted_nef.html
    Basically you need to use Nikon software that is at least as new as your newest camera or don’t use Nikon software at all.
