all greyed out, .indd files cannot open starting in Indesign CS5

Hi all

On an iMac g5 with Indesign CS5 (7.0.4) i7.

Since yesterday, all the .indd files are grayed out when you try to open them in Indesign (command-o).

From the Finder they open fine still...

Cannot find anything on the web.

Clues?

Thank you

Dirkjan

I've seen it.

InDesign depends on the operating system to maintain this file association, and sometimes it can get bollixed.

You must rebuild the launch Services database.

It is easier to install and use Onyx for this: http://www.titanium.free.fr/download.php

  • Cannot open .exe files, cannot open any programs

    My computer worked fine until last night. Now, every time that I click on a shortcut, or try to open any program, I get this error: this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the set Associations control panel.  OR I get this message: the version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you are using. Check your computer's system information to see if you need a x 86 (32 bit) or x 64 (64-bit) version of the program and then contact the software publisher.

  • Why can't I open INDD files using exactly the same InDesign CS6 product I've used to create them?

    I tried to modify the work sent by another designer. He sent me the INDD files (as part of the packages) but I could not open in my version of Windows of InDesign CS6. My computer told me that I had not any software installed that could open the file. While searching on the forums, I thought it could use InDesign CC, that for some reason any crazy I can't open INDD files created using the CC version and so I have to send him the IDML files. OK, fine, he sent me the IDML files.

    IDML files open correctly in my version of InDesign CS6. Large. They open in the form of documents not saved, so I save them as files InDesign CS6. OK, well. Except that I can't open files INDD, that I just created. Yet once, my computer tells me that I don't have any software installed that can open the file. But how can this be? I just create the files using this software!

    If I do a test. I can't open a file that I create from scratch? N ° it seems that I can't open INDD files in my version of Windows of InDesign CS6, even if I create them from scratch. Can anyone help?

    I found an answer here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2604646

    1. I opened Windows Explorer and went to tools >... Folder Options > File Types.
    2. I selected INDD and click Advanced.
    3. I chose the action open and press edit.
    4. I went to Adobe InDesign (for some reason any, that adobe does not appear in Program Files by default, but if I go to Program Files and then type Adobe in the zone file name and touch open then I can browse the Adobe programs).
    5. I chose InDesign and press open.
    6. Then back in the editing window of action, I added '%1' in the application used to perform action text box, so that all read: "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS6\InDesign.exe" '%1 '.

    When I try to open a file CS6 in CS5.5, I get the error message:

    How to generate this message else:

    is to try to open something that InDesign can't open. It is sometimes a file InDesign is corrupt. Once I found badly configured open files backup software maintenance. In other cases I had the hand of customers outside the files that were supposed to be InDesign files, but turns out be renamed zipfiles or Word files or PDF files (all pertaining to the statement "can not supported file format" above). You've already ruled to be open also by searching the .idlk files, and you have excluded plugin questions already (by not having not not a CS6 file generate the new 'because it was saved with a newer version' message and the chances that you have installed some sort of plugin which), so it must almost be a file that is broken or misnamed somehow.

    Has anyone seen this? I'm confused as to why the options are grayed out - I am connected to the APS and the connection is recognized on the worksheet. Its a special type of connection. Stuff very basic - I was wondering what is happening here.

    Using office 2003 on vista OS.

    Hello.

    Using Smartview 9.x, I asked the Support of Oracle on why I can't use this option (all grayed out) and they told me the following:

    ****
    This is the expected behavior. The only way to select the aliases table is to use 'change alias table' in which case all the smartview pass alias mode.

    Description is used by HFM where there might be some additional description available for a label.

  • Limited to issues of access to user files: cannot open files C:\Docs and directory All Users\... of limited account

    Developed an application, I am having trouble hosting different user accounts. In an attempt to debug, I created a user account on my XP development machine I've ever done before. Programming within this limited user account, I can test the existence of a file in the "C:\Docs and Users\etc all..." to see that there are, but I can't open it to read.

    How can I access the files for purposes of development while maintaining the limited account so I can test that the system works for all computers it willl be used on and all their different configurations of users? Or perhaps, where can I find information on where and how to manage the application data, so I don't run into these issues? What I saw before me had to believe given to all users is available to all users!
