InDesign doesn't let Me not open Image files instead in my Document?

Hi all

First time posting here and I hope you guys can help! I just installed the Master Collection yesterday after using the suite Design Premium for quite a while. I just started a new document in InDesign and I just wanted to open some pictures and scans of Word in InDesign. However, after I click on file > open > "Proper case" there is a button on the window that reads "all readable Documents." This box is checked, but all the image files are "grey" so I can't select them. If I change the option mentioned earlier to "All Documents" files names is more "grayed out", but when I double click on a file I get an error (see attachment).

I never had this happen before the images I want to open only from JPEG and PDF files? I need to get a project in tomorrow and now I'm worried. I guess it's something to do with the new facility, but I am at a loss...

Thank you very much in advance for any help you can provide.

In InDesign, you import the images, using the file > place command, rather than open them. ID only opens files created in InDesign, everything else comes Place or copy/paste (which you should not do with images except from one place to the other in identity documents - paste from Photoshop, for example, only gives you preview low-resolution screen RGB and no way to change and be updated later).

If you are a fan of drag / drop, you can drag images from bridge, Finder or Explorer and drop them on the page, which is the equivalent of the place. Dragging a window of application is the equivalent of dough.

  • I can not open zip files!

    I had this problem since day 1.  Whenever I get a zip file, Vista will not open the file instead, he associated with Internet Explorer and sends the computer into a loop of windows which can only be stopped by stopping turn signals.  If I associate the file with any other program, it opens not and goves me a message that the content is unreadable.  I do not get an option to "extract files".

    Help!

    Go to: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/06/22/reset-and-fix-broken-windows-vista-file-ext-and-type-associations-include-exe-com-sys-zip-lnk-folder-drive/ and scroll down to the ZIP entry and click or double-click on it to launch the association of Zip files repair.  Then restart.  Zip files should now behave as usual.  You will still be able to use 7 - Zip instead of Vista if that is your choice.  All you have to do is change the file association by default for the ZIP files to 7-ZIP inntead of Vista.

    If you have this problem withall the speed of your program, Diecut for entry EXE click or double-ICCT top to run the EXE file association repair.  This should solve the problem of all programs to open under internet explore (if that is the case - I'm not sure I quite understand your situation).

    If the programs are open OK but the problem is that all the icons are all the internet Explorer icons, then perform a rebuild of the cache icon as follows:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/117229-icon-cache-rebuild.html.

    I hope this helps.

    I downloaded Adobe camera raw 8.4 so that I can open raw files with pictures taken with the camera Sony a6000.  However, it does not open images in camera raw.  What can I do?

    I suggest you please update Camera Raw 9.1.1: Camera Raw of Adobe Photoshop CC and CS6 Installer

    Once done, launch Photoshop and click Help > about plug-in > Camera Raw.

    And check the version of Camera Raw, you see there, it should be the most recent.

    If you add the margins left and right (or top and), they add up to 72 px. The size of your ad is only 60 px high. This is why there is an error.

    It turns out that a Windows computer has been infected by a virus that worked its way to the server. We zapped the virus and restore the backup files.

  • InDesign CS5 do not open CS4 files

    (I work on a Mac Pro Quad - Core Intel Xeon 2.26 GHz). I've upgraded to CS5 last week and ran into a problem with InDesign does not open some files CS4. It does not at all ID CS4 files and I don't see a common factor that tells me why InDesign CS5 opens some and not others. I can always open in CS4 and they are not locked. I made sure that no one else had it open also. The error I get is the following.

    Cannot open the document "filename". You may not have permission or the document can be opened already.

    I opened the range of information in the finder and the files are not locked and permissions are appropriate. I tried to save the file to my desktop, and still save on the server and it does not want to open it in CS5. These files are shared, we have a file naming convention and storage limited review, trying to find a work around if it is not a fix for this problem.

    Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    WARNING: For a long time Mac user... I know very little except how to connect networks.

    We have implemented in order to connect to our server in the window (from our Macs) via AppleTalk and Samba. We have looked in using Samba on several occaisions, but continue to flow upward with reasons we should not / cannot use only of Samba. Sometimes, if we have a permissions problem with connecting via AppleTalk, we can connect to the same server via Samba and do not have the same permissions issues. We are also limited to files with 24 characters in the file name when write us a file on the server using AppleTalk. I have not found a limit when writing to a file on the server, when it is connected via Samba. (I tested a 100 characters in length file name and didn't see a need to go higher.)

    We have just updated our computers for CS5 to test and found the same problem with not being able to open most files from the server. We can copy the file on our hard drive, work on it, save it, then copy it to the server. But if I connect server via Samba, I can work on the file without any problems. From what I read above, I guess than that, still, has something to do with the number of characters in the file name. I'm not advising all start using Samba - less long-term. (Once again, we did some research and found several reasons we still use AppleTalk.) But it could be a temp fix for some of you, if this is possible on your networks.

    I would also add that the temporary file generated by CS4 had a tilde at the beginning of the name. The temporary files generated by CS5 have a slash and a tilde at the beginning of the name. We had not this problem in CS4 work since Windows Server at all. The slash can be the death blow.

  • By pressing 'o' in review mini bridge mode is not opening the file in Photoshop

    New user of Photoshop here and going through the basics.

    When you use the view Mode in mini bridge I can scroll the images using the right/left arrows open the head image in Camera Raw using the 'R' key, and pressing on the 'o' key does not open the file in Photoshop, I knew that it was supposed to. Am I missing something obvious?  By pressing the 'o' key doesn't do anything.

    With the help of Photoshop CS6.

    Thanks for the tips!

    Gene,

    Unfortunately, this did not turn.

    I have exactly the same problem on two systems, two Windows 7 based charge installs CS6 and Lightroom 4.

    Spent a good support of 45 minutes on the phone with Adobe and they are scratching their heads as well.  Now it seems that the revision in mini bridge would be a great way to open the files that you want to use, but in reality it does not work.  The tech that I do business with Adobe is to have exactly the same problem as well.

    Not quite ready for prime time...

    There is that a single database that p0347 runs and diskgroup that m0347_dg1 has been for other databases M0347 which is interrupted both diskgroup m0347_dg1 was abandoned.

    But why is it looking for spfilem0347.ora, please let me know how to fix.

    ORA-17503: ksfdopn:2 could not open the file +M0347_DG1/m0347/spfilem0347.ora

    P0347 database has nothing to do with the question. right?

    Probally you have not deleted from database M0347 of OCR and CRS was trying to start the database.

    $ORACLE_HOME of database using

    $ srvctl config database-d M0347

    If it is saved in OCR you should remove it.

    This command will delete the database.

    $ srvctl remove the d M0347 database

    Make sure Diskgroup is registered.

    With the help of GI $ORACLE_HOME

    $ srvctl config diskgroup g M0347

    If registered in OCR you can remove it.

    $ srvctl remove diskgroup g M0347

  • Do not open the file .xlsx 'reason '.

    Try to open a file .xlsx, I've got the announcement that it could not open the file due to "some reason" ("created reden" in Dutch)

    What the reason is, however, is not mentioned. There is something special with this file?

    The file is a file .xlsx from a bookseller in line line in the Netherlands, with a list of books that I have offered online (like Amazon)

    Cannot guess what "reason" may be, but I suggest you try to open it with Apache, OpenOffice or LibreOffice, both available for download at no cost. (Donations are requested, however.)

  • Satellite U300 PSU3DA: error: could not open the file attribute execution of concept maps

    I have a PSU3DA-U300 which I changed from Vista to XP.
    This is because my main computer use will be for navigation (boat) and I was told that most navigation programs will work better with XP. I have almost nothing on my laptop so far, and the system already seems to be slow and freezing too often.

    My question is now on the program of concept maps which I just installed and which does not open. He repeats to me "Eorror: could not open the file attribute.

    What does that mean? I uninstall and reinstall the program, and he comes back with this message.
    I had a glance at the Device Manager, and the only thing that seems incorrect is the PCI memory controller.
    I did a bit of research on this and it seems that this driver is not required for XP? Is this true?

    Would this be a cause of C-Maps program does not?

    Thanks in advance.

    > I did a bit of research on this and it seems that this driver is not required for XP? Is this true?
    Where did you read this info?
    I put t know if the driver is not required, but you get all the drivers on the Toshiba site.

    For your problem with concept maps, I think that it is best to contact you that support the conceptual maps. Here, this is a forum for Toshiba laptops.
