Folio Builder doesn't open

When I go to Window > Extensions in my InDesign CS5.5 (Mac), Foilo Builder is there but absolutely nothing happens when I try to select it. All other extensions there open up, but not Folio Builder. I have uninstalled Folio Producer tools, the Folio Builder panel alone, then re-installed the latest CS5.5 updates (yes, not the CS5 updates) for both many times, with the same results. I had Folio Builder working previously, after updating it, even having a folio built, but now the panel just doesn't open. Anyone know how to fix this? I've run out of ideas. Thanks.

Thanks for your reply -
It's not the Adobe account that I have a problem with but the second user account on my computer that I had to create. So I log into my mac as a different user. My folio builder works on one user but not the other and is essentially the same software being used. I just open it as a different administrator. I can log into folio builder as my second computer user all ok but the other prompts for an update to the tools.
It means I have to log in and out as different users just to use folio builder. Any ideas?
This issue we have with two separate machines in our studio - they each have two separate mac user accounts so we can access the folio builder.
I hope this makes sense - any feedback to fix this would be a massive help!
Many Thanks

Folio builder panel wont open layout

I have been working on a Folio. When I sat down to work on my folio, I was instructed by indesign to update my Folio producer tools, which I did.
Since then I can no longer view any article layout from that folio in indesign. Indeed any folio that I create that does not reside on my desktop give the same problem. I can import articles, add articles and they all upload to the proper place at adobe and I can view them. But I simply cannot open them up through folio builder as I previously.
The exact error message is as below:
An error has occurred opening the source file for the article layout.
The InDesign file for the layout cannot be found.
Another strange thing that seems to be happening is that the folio will randomly reoder the articles in the folio.
I have dumped my indesign prefs, tried creating an entirely new project, made a new account and even reinstalled the entire software.
But the problem of opening an article that I have imported or added to a folio, simply not being found to open has got me stumped. I can't proceed with a major project until I can sort this out.
Can anyone help.
Many thanks
Steve
The problem initially seemed very similar to the one linked below, but I dont get the content generation error

Hi Casey,
That is my main concern, I moved nothing. The only thing that has changed is that I had a message pop up that folio builder needed an update (which I did, as I couldn't do any more work in it until I had done this).
Once I had completed this, I couldn't load any of the files through the builder that I had previously worked on.
I have just checked the path as per your instructions, and that is totally fine.
I have created a test project using new fresh files/folios and articles and still get the same.
There are two things that make this even stranger.
1. Everything works fine if I work on a folio that has all files in a folder on my desktop. If I work at any other level of sub folder it doesn't.
and:
2. The folio will randomly reorder the articles within it. If I put them back where I want them, a few hours or updates later folio builder will re-organise them.
Totally weird

Update to 1.1.3 - but Folio Builder doesn´t work!

Hi,
we read every post about the current problem with the different versions of the folio builder.
We have a new PC with Windows 7 and CS5 (no Prerelease Tools installed).
I have installed and removed every version of dps and folio tools.
On my Mac Book with CS5 it works, on a second PC with CS 5.5. it works but on our PC with CS 5 it doesn`t work.
I have installed the following Tools:

We're having the same issues. Yesterday, Monday the 12th, everything was working okay. Today, I can't upload a simple two page folio. Any ideas?

Folio Builder doesn't allow me to add certain articles

I'm adding articles to folio builder and it's being a little picky about which ones I can add and which ones I can't. They're all formatted in the same size etc., but for some reason 3 of my 30 articles won't give me the "add" option or if I add them they hang and it crashes InDesign. Any ideas? Are there specific types of things I should look out for in regards to how I format my documents so that they'll play nice w/ Folio Builder?

It's a tough one, Visslette... Of course, you checked the obvious stuff, so you need to supply a bit more info. What formats and orientation are they, are they smooth scrolling or staggering, did you check to upload them to a new magazine (just for the sake of checking the change), do they total over the 100 MB limit ?

Interface Builder doesn't open

I'm a long time developer, first-time developer for Mac. I've just started to use the Xcode tools. I've used them in the past, but I just got my new MacBook Pro and installed Xcode 3.2.1 (10m2003). I started following one of the application tutorials, building Hello World. After creating the NSView (HelloView), the next step says, "Double click MainMenu.xib and open Interface Builder then blah blah blah". So I double click on MainMenu.xib and nothing happens. I checked the Console Log and found this:
1/3/10 12:49:33 PM Xcode\[7360\] LSOpenFromURLSpec() returned -10814 for application (null) path /Users/bpwold/projects/Hello/English.lproj/MainMenu.xib.
Then I decided to open Interface Builder from Spotlight, which worked. I opened the MainMenu.xib file from there (which does appear to have opened), but the log also showed:
1/3/10 12:57:54 PM \[0x0-0x215215\].com.apple.InterfaceBuilder3\[7496\] Couldn't open shared capabilities memory GSCapabilities (No such file or directory)
So my question is: Do I have a proper install of XCode? Has something gone wrong with the install. In the past, double clicking on .xib files would produce the desired results, but apparently XCode 3.1.2 on Snow Leopard seems to have a little problem.
Maybe someone else has run into this?

Not really. The problem is with certain/early style app samples that had xibs created programmatically (back in the stone age), rather then with IB (as most current examples from Apple are).
If you toggle the small triangle next to the offending xib in Xcode's resource window on the left, you should see yet another file...double click that one and IB should respond accordingly. If not, use the Finder and drag/drop instead. If still no joy, find another sample app

When I click on the xib file interface builder doesn't open, I have the newest version downloaded from the app store

as the title says when I click on the .xib on the left hand nothing happens I just get the iphone screen and checkered background no interface builder.

Interface Builder is no longer a separate application. All editing functions are now integrated into Xcode 4.

InDesign Crashes Opening Folio Builder Panel

While working on a publication, I will leave the Folio Builder panel to open a different one. Upon trying to reopen the builder panel so I can add my publication to the folio, InDesign crashes. Without fail, everytime. No matter what InDesign document I have open, it will crash. I have to force quit, reopen and add the document first thing. before begining work on another article.
Anyone know why?

I open Indesign and it automatically signs me into my dps acct.
I begin working on an article (using the different tools like object states, buttons, video)
all of those panels are in the same tool group as the folio builder so folio builder gets collapsed while using the other tools.
when it is time to update my article and i go to open the folio builder panel is when it freezes InDesign.
I don't have any exact steps to reproduce this because the other tools I use varies, but if the folio builder panel gets collapsed, InDesign freezes when I reopen it.

Folio builder update issue

Was prompted to update folio builder on my Windows 7 PC running InDesign CS5.5. Did so, restarted, launched InDesign and once again was prompted to access folio builder update. Tried it again, same result.
Tried updating both folio producer and folio builder, got the same results.
Still getting the prompt "A newer version of Folio Builder is available for download."
Any ideas on steps to rectify?
Thx

I found a solution to my problem, which is kind of similar. Hopefully this can help others who get the update folio builder request, even when its been updated.
I found Indesign CS6 + Folio Builder has some type of glitch on my Windows 7 machine. If the folio builder window is open when I open Indesign, it will close as soon as Indesign starts up. When I open the Folio Builder panel it will always ask me to update the folio builder, even though it is fully updated.
The solution for me, is to make sure the folio builder panel is always closed when I close down Indesign. In this way when Indesign is opened, the folio builder panel does not open automatically. I then wait for a few seconds after Indesign has fully opened. Once it's fully open and ready to go, I open the folio builder panel and viola the folio builder panel opens correctly and I'm signed in.

Folio builder crashes

I think I have a few problems, first of all with folio builder, when I open it I click new, type in the name, in this case "ABI"
but then nothing? I must be doing something wrong, but cant see it, also, more often than not Indesign crashes when typing the folio name in as well.
I'm on Mac OS 10.6.7 and CS5, with no intentions of updating to CS5.5
HELP!

Hi Bob
We're actually using your Lynda tutorial for our training, it's such a great resource thank you.
Here's a thread I was reading which wasn't helpful for myself although I did try some solutions that were relevant to me.
Re: InDesign CS 6 Folio Builder crashing
Solutions tried:
- Re installing InDesign CS6
- Downloaded DPS updates directly from Adobe
- One post suggested deleting my cache file/folders which would result in any folios I've made deleted however this
is the first time I've used the DPS tools in Adobe so I didn't worry.
- I've also deleted/reset my preferences
Is there anything else you can suggest?

Window popup doesn't open in a build .exe application

Hello. I wrote code in order to open a VI as a windows popup.
Running it in labview, it works fine. If I build the application (host side) and I run it in windows (win 7) it doesn't open any popup.
I'm sure that:
1) both the main and popup VIs are included inside the source files during the build steps.
2) the popup is not running behind the main window.
3) popup VI window appearance is "modal"
Here my code:
Does anyone know what to do?
thank you
fpia

Thank you Mark and josborne.
It seems all you suggested me it's ok. I mean:
The path of my VIs are correct. I selected the startup VI (and I can see it inside this section) and in "Always Included" section there is the right VI popup.
The front panel is not removed from the VI popup. I can see it in the "source file settings" section.
josborn, I tryed to put error handing in my code, and I got some errors but I think thery are unuseful in my specific case. Here they are:
Built Application or Shared Library (DLL): Make sure all dynamically loaded VIs were properly included in the build specification for the application or shared library.
LabVIEW Real-Time: VIs built into executables cannot be accessed through VI Server calls. Use Source Distributions to dynamically call VIs on Real-Time targets.
I got this error from the "Open VI reference" function. But...
About the first line, I'm sure all the involved VIs are included. I see the VI caller as "Startup VI" and the VI popup as "Always Included".
About the second line, I'm not testing it with a Real-Time target. I'm running this simple project just in a windows 7 environment. Anyway my VI server is running and setted in according with NI documentation.
I attach the project. Could you please be so kind to give a glance to it? It is very small and simple.
Thank you.

Indesign CS6 crash when open Folio Builder

Dear Adobe team,
I have updated my DPS Desktop Tools in Indesign CS6 (windows8), with version 27. Then, when open folio bulider, my Indesign always crash, and automatically close the program. How to resolve this problem?
Thx
Indodesigner

This happend to me many times with CS5.5 and CS6 since one year at least (I am on PC win 8 and two screens) last time was after installing v27 too.
ID starts normaly and loads my favorite workspace opening the folio builder wich tries to connect to adobes folio server.
at this very time the spining wheel stops and ID crashes.
This is a complete mystery for me !
After many tests I figured out that :
1 - I could quickly switch my work space at the start, choosing one that doesnt display the folio builder
2 - ID crashes ONLY when the folio builder displays on the second screen ... never on the "master" screen
When I wrote complete mystery ... this makes no sense to me but well, this is how I still can work with ID
For info, never had this problem with ID CC
