Indesign 5.5 crash issues when updating links

I am having crash issues when updating links and I don’t know how to trouble shoot the issues.
I have adobe creative suite 5.5 and I am using a third party plug in called wordsflow to allow updating of MS word documents without losing formatting in Indesign.
I have been in contact with the plug creator and they seem to think that the way the indesign importer is handling images is causing the problem.
I am not a particularly experienced Indesign user. How do I go about working out what the issue is?

At first it does appear that the plug in is the problem, however i suspect that the builders of the plugin are correct, in that it is the way in design in handling images in links.
the problem is worse when any image in anchored any where with in the document.
when the updating links screen pops up, the point where it freezes and then indesign crashes is infact on a linked image file consistantly.
broswing other indesign link issues it appears i am not the only person with image link problems.
My question is aside form turning off the plug in, what else can i do to search for the potential issue?

Indesign CS4 crashing when updating links

When I open a CS3 file in CS4, and choose to update links when opening the file, Indesign stops working when it tries to update the links. I am not able to cancel the request, I can only shut down the program in the windows task manager.
Anyone knows a way to fix this problem?

As a last resort, when I run into the weird problems, I go through a process of elimination to find the offender.
As example, I would delete half the images and try the update. if it works, I know the problem was in one of the images I deleted. If it doesnt, I'd delete the other half and try again. I keep cutting the number of images I remove in half till I'm down to whatever it was causing the problem. The I save it as a newfile type and re-import/place.
Kind of a pain in the tookas, but it works when I'm really stumped.

InDesign CC swatch palette issues when creating a new color or updating a current color...

InDesign CC has crashed on me three times in a row and still won't fix it's problem...EVEN AFTER my computer and all the programs were shut down overnight! I was in the swatch palette to create a new swatch. I had a current one selected to base the new one off of. I went under "create new swatch," the palette came up, my mouse auto-scrolled when I clicked and it landed on "DIC color." Now, the DIC fields won't disappear even when I'm in CMYK or RGB. And when I try to change it to CMYK or RGB or the color values, it crashes InDesign. When I load it back up, the problem still exists. How do I reset it???

THANK YOU! It worked exactly for what I needed it to fix. I have been out of the Graphic Design game for a couple years and forgot a lot of quick fixes. I really appreciate it!

Links panel in InDesign CS6 isn't auto-sorting updated links

In previous versions of InDesign if you sorted the links panel by status it would automatically update the order of the links when their status changed. So when a link went from being missing to being re-linked, it would automatically change position in the list.
In CS6 I've been having the problem that links that need updating don't sort to the top of the list (or the bottom), instead they stay in alphabetical order even though the status column has been selected as the sorting technique. If I click the status column I can sort them manually, but then once they have been updated they stay where they are instead of dropping down with the rest of the up-to-date links.
Essentially the links panel only sorts if I do it manually. But continually manually sorting really isn't an option given the number of links I need to manage while under deadline. I work at a newspaper and have hundreds of links that are updated from various sources. I need to quickly see what has been updated at a glance.
I've checked through my preferences but can't find anything that may be causing this. Additionally I've recently upgraded to a new computer and operating system, but the sorting problem persists. (I've upgraded to a new iMac with the Maverick OS, 10.9.2) I had hoped that upgrading and reinstalling might fix the issue, but it hasn't.
Any suggestions? I'm really hoping it's just a preference I've overlooked.

inDesign links documents via a file path.
It doesn't actually add the image itself to the document, but rather relays a link to the where file resides on the hard drive.
It then draws a representation of that image in the layout using a proxy thumbnail.
So when it's linked it is actually looking at a file path, say something like
If I move that file to a computer where the my documents folder has a different name say "C:\MyDocuments\Eugene\Images\Eugene1.png"
"C:\MyDocuments\Marcelo\"
Then when I open the file on Marcelo's computer the link would still be
"C:\MyDocuments\Eugene\Images\Eugene1.png"
I need to redirect the link to go to
"C:\MyDocuments\Marcelo\Images\Eugene1.png"
As stated above you should use
File>Package
Zip the folders the computer generates - and then send them to a new computer.
Unzip and work on the file.

Indesign CS4 OSX crash, usually when opening

Hi,
I'm running with latest osx and Indesign patches (clean install), but this happening 3-4 times per hour: com.apple.launchd.peruser.503[133] ([0x0-0x5f05f].com.adobe.InDesign[1851]): Job appears to have crashed: Bus error
I uploaded one crash report:
http://pastebin.com/CYuf7rWi
(I found a related know bug in 6.0.6 update release notes
"Known issues include the following:
Users are unable to hide InDesign CS4 using the cmd+h keyboard shortcut.
InDesign CS4 may unexpectedly quit when using the Place, Save, Save As or Export commands using either the OS or Adobe dialog boxes.

but i have 10.6.8.)
Thanks for your help!

Sorry, been letting things slip by...
That said, I have no idea why it's crashing, perhaps John will...
Well, this one is weird. If there wans't any narrative, I would have thought that the eyedropper tool was being clicked (LButtonUp in frame 14) and then it was failing somehow related to reading/writing attributes from the eyedropper.
It doesn't sound like that's what you're doing.
CS4 is getting kind of old, you might think about upgrading. Or at least trying with the free trial to see if CS5.5 works better for you?
Sorry I dont have anything better right now...

After itunes 6.0.2 and 1-10 updater - both ipods crash itunes when updating

I'm annoyed.
I upgraded my to iTunes 6.0.2 (Windows XP) and ran the 1-10 updater on two ipods - a mini and a 20GB pre-photo model (I guess that's a 3rd gen?). After doing so, iTunes crashes when updating begins. If I plug an ipod in without iTunes, everything is OK and I can see the unit and directory structure in Explorer. When the ipod is disconnected and I run iTunes, everything is fine - no problems. But when you connect an ipod, iTunes sees it, and then shows "Updating ipod", it sits like that for awhile, then I hear the hard drive in the iPod click, and a few seconds later I get:
"iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close" etc. etc.
I tried doing a restore of one of my ipods (the 3rd gen) to the 2005-11-17 firmware by running that updater and doing "Restore". The problem is still happening, but now my ipod is empty because I did the restore!
Unfortunately, I can't tell what the problem is - iTunes or the 1-10 update.
Has anyone else had any problems like this? Any ideas? Can I downgrade iTunes?
Please help!
Chris

Has anyone come up with a method to resolve this issue? I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, and no luck.
One very obvious thing I can see is that 2006-1-10 update clearly bombs iTunes fast. I downgrade my firmware to 2005-11-17 and it appears to want to update. I'm attempting to update again (about the 30th time since I've had this problem a few days ago). Let's see how it goes since I've actually done this before... One thing I'm doing differently though is syncing just the podcasts, no music. It shouldn't make a difference, but maybe there's something odd in there with DRM?
Another observation - when I connected the iPod with the My Computer window open, I saw the H: drive (my ipod) appear for a few seconds. It then disappeared from there, iTunes came up, and then reappeared. iTunes tried to sync, but then bombed out.
I hope this helps someone..
I can't believe that Apple hasn't responded to this issue yet. This has to be impacting more than a few hundred users on this site.

Dhcpcd issues when updating my pacman

I have read the wiki, and know that we could get the issues with filesystem. However I can't get this to work correctly when doing pacman -Syu. Using the issue with the dhcpcd I tried to look for similar packages that own those files.
dhcpcd: /usr/bin/dhcpcd exists in filesystem
dhcpcd: /usr/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-run-hooks exists in filesystem
dhcpcd: /usr/lib/systemd/system/dhcpcd.service exists in filesystem

dhcpcd: /usr/share/man/man8/dhcpcd-run-hooks.8.gz exists in filesystem
dhcpcd: /usr/share/man/man8/dhcpcd.8.gz exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Sure it does, the fourth sentence from the link I gave:
wiki wrote:If the file is not owned by another package, rename the file which 'exists in filesystem' and re-issue the update command. If all goes well, the file may then be removed.
As for others experiencing this - no, that is not the case. Something has gone wrong on your system. Either you installed dhcpcd manually circumventing pacman, or your package database was corrupted.

Crm plugin issue when updating parent account field in account.

Hi ,
In my CRM Application ( CRM 2011) we have accounts and contacts. when account parent account is updated their contacts owner id will be updated in crm db server and external server using notification service which is called by pulgin.
so in one of my account has 6000+ contacts ,when updating accounts parent account id from crm , screen disabled and after 4 to 6 mins sql error message screen displayed.
below is the eventviewer log ,

If i debug the account update code plugin it seems to be working fine (means updated parent account id and contacts ). if i remove debugger and hit on save from crm , throws error.
this is high priority issues , im struggling from past 3 days could get any solution.
if any one helps really appreciated.

First.
If you use plugin for send information to any external system you create small intergation.
For integration use must create async plugin. On your trace ( account; Stage: 30;) you use sync plugin.
Second
For increment CRM timeout add reg key OLEDBTimeout.
about this key you can read from microsoft

good luck

EF ProviderManifestToken issue when updating ODAC Beta 3 to final release

Hi everybody,
We're using ODAC (connecting to a Oracle 9i) with VS2010, developing with .NET Framework 4 using Entity Framework. We started our developments using ODAC Beta 1, and we have been updating the ODAC every time that a new Beta was released and everything was going like expected, but we're having trouble with the last update, from ODAC Beta 3 to the final release (11.2.0.3). Note that we have only one ODAC installed at the time, for every update we first uninstall the old release, then we install the new ones and finally we update the application references to the new Oracle.DataAccess.dll.
The first error occurred when the application attempt to access the DB, the message we got was: "+ProviderManifestToken no es válido+" ("*ProviderManifestToken is not valid*") .
We tried updating the model (EDMX) from the database (the only change made was an update in the EDMX SSDL content from ProviderManifestToken="9i" to ProviderManifestToken="9.2"), then another error came out: "+El esquema especificado no es válido. Errores: Modelo.ssdl (2,93) : error 0169: Los artefactos SSDL deben tener como destino el mismo proveedor. ProviderManifestToken '9i' es diferente de '9.2' que se encontró antes.+" (something like "*The specified schema is not valid. All SSDL artifacts must target the same provider. The ProviderManifestToken '9i' is different from '9.2' that was encountered earlier.*"). We did some research about this error, but couldn’t find any solution... does anyone know how the update from Beta 3 to Final Release should be done? are we missing any configuration?
Thanks in advance!
Lucas

ODAC Beta 3 (11.2.0.2.50) starts to use two most-significant digits of an Oracle database version number for ProviderManifestToken.
You have no problem with ODAC Beta 3 by modifying '9i' to '9.2' for ProviderManifestToken. But when updating ODAC Beta 3 to final release (11.2.0.3) and doing the same modifications, the said "another error" occurs. That seems to indicate the issue is not about ProviderManifestToken itself.
I am wondering if there are different store schemas in your edmx file and the error is caused by schema filtering.
For example, having differnet store schemas for the Schema= like below.
<EntitySet Name="Categories" EntityType="Model.Store.Categories" store:Type="Tables" Schema="USER1" />
<EntitySet Name="Customers" EntityType="Model.Store.Customers" store:Type="Tables" Schema="USER2" />
Can you please check it?
Another question is: Can you regenerate the edmx file using the final release (11.2.0.3)?
This is the preferable way.

Space issues when updating Infinity Blade

Hey all,
I've got Infinity Blade, and it's a big app (891MB). When I go to update it, the Infinity Blade icon had a blue bar fill up until it gets to "Installing" then it says it can't do it, I don't have enough space. Now I've got 1.3 GB of space left on my iPad, so even if it was downloading a full new copy there should be enough space left. What's the deal here?
Any input appreciated, Thanks,
Dan Perkins

That's a shame... I often run into the issue when I'm at work and (being impatient) I really want to update and app now. Unfortunately, I've got the 16gb and it's almost ALL apps taking up the space, as opposed to videos. So I can't delete apps and reinstall because I'll lose their data. And I have very little music. I do have a fair bit of family pics but I'd have to go through and delete a bunch 1 by 1.
Maybe it is time that I start letting go of some of these apps that are cool but I'm REALLY not ever going to use them / play them again
Thanks for the input.

Indesign CS4 suddenly crashes down when I click on "edit" or try help. Can anyone help?

Hello,
I am still using Indesign CS4 (Version 6), so far no problem, but since new Macbook with Yosemite several Problems, also with Illustrator.
I cannot print from Indesign, so far just printing the PDFs, thats possible.
Since today I cannot use the software at all, as I cannot click on "edit" anymore. The software immediately crashes down when I click.
Searched the internet, someone told sth about "Zusatzmodule", but it also crashes down when I search for sth in the "help".
Can anyone here help me?
Kind of devistated, because its my business, need to work with InDesign...
thanks
P.

I'm sorry to say this but Yosemite and CS4 are incompatable. You're now five versions behind the current on InDesign, and CS4 was never tested with Yosemite.
You should seriously consider upgrading to either CS6 (perpetual license) or get a Creative Cloud subscription for your business.

Issue when updating a trigger

I have a trigger that is supposed to insert when a button is pressed and update when a different button is pressed. When inserting, everything works but when updating, UPDATED_ON and UPDATED_BY is put in the database but VOIDED_BY,VOIDED_ON,ARCHIVED_BY,ARCHIVED_ON are not. I am not sure what i need to do in order to fix this. Can anyone help me out here? Thanks

ok, I decided to take out of the trigger the code about archiving, since that is the part that seems to be giving me the most trouble. The rest of the trigger now works.
So could i just write a procedure for just the archiving part? And if so how would that be done so that the procedure would run on a click of a button?

Indesign CS5.5 v7.5.2 on Mac 10.7.2 Crashing when updating links

My first post here, so please be gentle.
I have had a constant problem for a couple of weeks with linked PDF files placed in CS5.5 - whenever I try to update the link it crashes. Yes its variable, it does it for some PDF's/links, but not for others.
I assumed it must be a corrupt something, however as I am not originating the PDF, I cannot change them, I can only open and place them for printing.
The log for interest can be downloaded from www.inception.co.uk/indesign_crash_log.txt
Is there a way of seeing why it crashed (ie a corrupt font or permission etc.)
I have been trying to resolve this for 3 days now, I have done a check on the integrity of the hard drive, I have removed and re-installed the complete adobe suite (with updates), I have recreated the PDF by opening in Acrobat and then exporting it page by page (each page has the same problem), I have re set all my permissions using coctail.
Please help, im ready to destroy my macbook with a big hammer, and they way my mackbook has been so solid over the last couple of years - i fear for the hammer.

These problems are rarely easy to debug.
It appears from your crash report:
5 com.adobe.PDFL 0x216ef8e3 PDDocGetMergedXAPKeywords + 86221
That the problem is in the Adobe PDF Library (not surprising, this is what reads PDF files) when getting "merged XAP keywords," whatever those are.
I believe the XAP: metadata has been superceded by XMP metadata, so this suggests your PDF files have corrupt XMP metadata, or XMP metadata that InDesign cannot deal with.
You might try running some of the preflights and fixups in Acrobat that relate to analysis of XMP metadata,
or simply removing XMP Metadata from the PDF entirely, again in Acrobat.
It sounds like this is a genuine InDesign bug (even if your PDF file was damaged, it should not crash ID!), so you should open a case with Adobe Support and get them to file a bug (http://adobe.com/go/supportportal). Optimistically, such a bug is unlikely to be fixed in time for CS6, so don't expect miracles. Think of it as making sure your bug doesn't hurt other people two years from now.

Robohelp 10 crashes when updating linked Frame 11 files

I recently upgraded from TCS 3 to 4 and this project worked fine before the upgrade.
Whenever I update the book linked to RoboHelp, it crashes and I receive an "Adobe RoboHelp 10 has stopped working message" (below).
If I update individual files in the book, RoboHelp does not seem to have a problem with files that do not have many linked images.
I'm running Windows 7 Enterprise. 8 GB RAM. The source control for the Frame files is Documentum, so they reside locally on my PC at C:\Users\user.name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\FrameMaker\Documentum\<connection_name>\<reposit ory>\

Hello,
TCS4 with Acrobat update to XI, unstructured FM. Win8.
I am having the same problem, and I am very concerned. This is definitely a new problem so something has changed recently - perhaps an Acrobat update?
I have been linking my FM books to RH and happily converting graphics through distiller for several years now. The last time I successfully did this was in February, with no problems. Now, I am starting a new round of help releases. As soon as RH encounters a chapter with graphics to convert, it crashes. This is not a problem with a particular graphic or particular FM chapter. It happens on any FM chapter with a graphic. Many of my graphics have callouts so it's possible that it occurs due to this, but it wasn't a problem before.
Things I've tried:
Started a new RH project.
Changed the image conversion to not use Distiller. This resulted in no problems whatsoever, but the graphics quality is not acceptable.
Converted a chapter with no graphics. No crashing.
Tried using Distiller, but created .gif instead of .png. Still resulted in an immediate crash.
Deleted the CPD file after each crash.
Observed Distiller and looked for error messages in the log. There are none. It looks like 2 -3 graphics are converting before the crash. I went to the temp folder where these are being distilled but could not really make sense of what's there... there are 2-3 PDFs of my images in each temp folder. There's a temp folder for each time I crashed.
OK I admit I am really worried about this new issue.
