this is why...
You can't open many apple nibs because they were distributed stripped.
Here is the discussion and explanation from the projectbuilder-users list. See also
This post. (the password is archives/archives)
Lots of inside info gets posted on the various apple lists, macosx-dev, projectbuilder-users and cocoa-dev.

Space considerations on the CD led us to strip the .nib directories of their design time information. You can put these nibs back together using the following procedure:
1) Make a back up of the nib, burry it in a 3 foot deep, lead-lined shaft in your back yard
2) Make a new Cocoa nib, save it somewhere
3) Within your newly created nib, there is a classes.nib file. Copy this file into your AddressBook nib.
The AddressBook nib should at least open now. However, DO NOT change any connections while editing this nib. Doing so will corrupt the nib (since it's using bogus classes info at this point). Oh yeah, one more step.
4) File your bug.
Scott.

I used to believe that IB was intended to open (and edit) NIB files. Turns out that it doesn't always work: I tried today to open (a copy of) the nib files in the Address book app, in order to correct an annoying bug in that one (again...)
IB just refuses to open them (any of them). Double-clicking has no effect at all, except launching IB if necessary. Using the open command in menu gives an alert:
"impossible to open the file 'xxx.nib'"
(I translate from french). No reason, no argument: this sort of message is really a shame...
Could anyone please tell me if he encounters the same bug?
