Why do the "SAVE", "SAVE AS" and "UNDO" functions of InDesign CS6 stop working after a short time?

Why do the "SAVE", "SAVE AS" and "UNDO" functions of InDesign CS6 stop working after a short time?

Normally they don't. You might have some sort of problem on your system, possibly a conflict with other software, or corrupt ID prefs or application. Trashing the prefs is easy, and good place to start: Replace Your Preferences
It will help if you tell us the OS version, whther you've installed the 8.0.1 patch, and how you are trying to access the commands, and what happens when you do. Is this isolated to one file, or does it happen with all files?

  • I have numerous different apple products with the new lightening connector, all of which have broken or stopped working after just short periods of time, I have an iPhone 5C, and iPad mini and and iPod Touch 5th gen?

    Hi, I have numerous different Apple products, an iphone 5c, iPad mini and iPod touch 5th gen.
    I have had them all for only relatively short periods of time yet the lightning cable has stopped working on all of them?
    On the touch, charging has stopped completely?
    Is this a manufacturing issue with the new charging system?

    Hi, yes I'm using the original apple cables.
    This definitely isn't user error nor confined just to me, the devices are used by different people in the home.
    On a quick sample around the office (survey of 7 people let me add) 4 of them said the cables had broken on them and had to be replaced.
    Having also searched through the forums it appears this is a fairly widespread issue.
    It's defo not user error!

  • Headphones stop working after a certain time and the notification for sound change has disappeared

    HP Pavilion dv6-6176sa
    Win7 64bit.
    I have a Pavilion dv6, and occasionally no sound will go through headphones when the jack is plugged in. The headphones themselves are not at fault, they are brand new and work fine.
    When the headphones are plugged in, the sound will only go through the laptop speakers. I've tried updating the drivers, fiddling with the jack and socket (as I read on google), the only resolution I have found is to restart the comp, which is a bit of a pisstake in all fairness and I'd rather not do that every time it happens.
    5 minutes ago I was watching a TV show, listening through the headphones, when I pulled out my USB mouse (and accidentally the charger with it). The sound then switched from the headphones to the speaker.
    If I open the sound settings, it will display the headphones as being plugged in, but the sound indicator bar (thingy) will only rise and fall on the speaker icon bar.
    Currently I have the audio jack pulled out about a centimetre, this allows sound through the headphones, but the sound is noticeably different to what it should be.
    I had rolled it back to "High Definition Audio Device", then reinstalled it to the most current driver. This hasn't fixed it.
    Also, this may be a related issue: (I guess) around the same time, the beats audio notification that pops up on screen when the volume is changed  has disappeared and doesn't display when the volume has changed.
    In microsoft sound control panel, it has the default speakers and the headphone logo, when i plug in the jack, a green phone circle thing appears by the headphone option, meaning it works i guess. However, the description changes from "ready" to "default communications device" and nothing changes for the regular speaker device.
    When I go to >configure, and test each (L/R) speaker, if the headphones are plugged in, the noise is louder then when they're not plugged it
    But yeah, brand new headphones, brand new laptop, it's mad. What's madder is that the headphones will work for x amount of time, then stop working when I next try to use them...

  • My wired Apple mouse stopped working for a short time. Trying to figure out why.

    System OSX Version 10.9.5  Processor 3.5 GHz Intel Core i7    I was surfing the web & my mouse was stuck on the screen. Could this be some kind of virus- spyware or malware? Never had this happen before. The keyboard the mouse is connected 2  kept working but the mouse stoped working momentarily. I pushed F3 & unplugged my mouse & plugged it back in. this fixed it but I am not sure that had anything to do with what caused my mouse to stop working.

    Could be the USB port within the keyboard may have a problem in sustaining
    a good connection. Sometimes those extra ports in keyboard fail. You can
    see in the hardware portion of the activity monitor software in OS X what is
    visible to the system as part of the chained USB items attached to the Mac.
    To have a known-good spare mouse, keyboard, and any cable extensions,
    is always a fair idea for the sake of troubleshooting and to get past a failure.
    I use powered USB hubs with my Macs; but plug the keyboard directly into
    the computer so as to have few issues with cold startup keyboard shortcuts.
    The mouse does OK plugged into the hub, and a hub positioned so it can
    be accessed easier than ports on the back of the computer makes sense.
    If there is another hardware issue, or odd software extensions or add-ons
    in your main user account, you'd have to test for those possibilities. To
    try a second account to see if the same kinds of applications make it fail,
    or run the Apple Hardware Test in the main user account, may not take
    into the result any software that you'd use when normally at the Mac.
    Sometimes the wire to the mouse can get weak and fail near the mouse;
    so when that happens, it's best to have a spare on hand, ahead of trouble.
    On the other hand, software conflicts could cause a frozen mouse or any
    kind of odd pointer activity.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • I have just noticed that in both Yahoo and Gmail the drop and drag function for attachments has stopped working. Is this due to Firefox?

    I am currently using Firefox 19. In the last week I have found that in both Yahoo and Gmail I am unable to attach files using drag and drop; I have not used drag and drop for a little while so I cannot say that it begun with a particular Firefox update. Unlike some users of FF16 I have no problem dragging tabs around in the browser. I know in the past certain issues with attachments have evidently been related to the browser and hence the reason I consider such a link now. I am using Windows XP SP3.

    Tylerdowner, hi.
    Thanks for your response, but remembering the cause of a previous attachent problem that many Firefox users were having at around the time of FF13 related to the network.http.spdy.enabled setting to 'true' I decided to check that setting again in about:config.
    To fix my problem at the time I, like others, changed the SPDY setting from 'true' to 'false' and this I found had not been automatically changed with later versions of FF. I did find, however, that there were now two other SPDY settings for v2 and v3, which were set to 'true'. In case these were conflicting with the first setting on 'false' I changed this latter to 'true' also. This done I returned to Gmail and tried to attach some files, firstly in the normal way by clicking on attachments and selecting a file from the dialogue box, which worked (previously on 'true' this had not worked); secondly, I tried attaching using drag & drop, which now worked. I also found that drag & drop worked in Yahoo too.
    So, could a conflict between the SPDY versions have been the cause of the problem when network.http.spdy.enabled was set to 'false'?
    If the problem occurs again I will let you know. (I have attached a snapshot of the current settings.)

  • The paint bucket tool and patterns in Photoshop CC have stopped working, how to fix?

    Suddenly the paint bucket is not filling, and patterns are not filling either with bucket or fx on layer.
    I tried resetting patterns to default, but that did not help. I restarted my computer, no help, either. Any suggestions? thanks!

    What document? what layer? what tool settings? you need to provide more info. Most likely you have simply changed a setting somewhere.

  • Why do some YouTube videos stop playing after a short time?

    Since sometime in October, 2013, I have noticed that more and more YouTube videos stop playing within a minute of starting. Most that stop do so in 15 or 16 seconds. The playing stops because the download stops. I watch this on a network activity monitor I always have running. Not all videos do this, but the problem is becoming more and more frequent. Some videos which played correctly for me in the recent past are now exhibiting this problem.
    Other than installing the latest Firefox updates I have NOT changed the software on my machine. I run Linux by the way. I do not think this is a Linux problem because (1) it was all working before and (2) my son who runs both Mac OS X *and* Windows is also seeing the same problem. We both use Firefox as our browser on all our platforms.
    I should also note that I am NOT seeing this problem with any of the other video websites I use, only when I go to YouTube. That leads me to believe that the problem is not in Firefox; if it were it should affect videos from all websites.
    Additionally the problem occurs whether or not I log into YouTube.
    I have not run Firefox in safe mode because all the extensions I use did not affect the download of Videos before, so I don't expect unchanged extensions to suddenly start causing problems.
    So, anyone else see this problem? (There was another note which talked about the same problem but it was disabled.)
    Also -- pardon my paranoia, but -- I need to ask: Since YouTube is owned by Google and Google has its own browser it wants you to use, Chrome, is it possible that Google is intentionally causing some YouTube videos to fail if it sees that they are being sent to Firefox?
    (That is not so outlandish I think. Microsoft WAS at one point caught mangling web pages going to certain web browsers other than IE. And these days Google wants to dominate the Internet just as badly as Microsoft does, so why not pull dirty tricks too?)
    If this keeps happening I am going to have to try Google's Chrome to see if it somehow manages to play YouTube videos correctly while Firefox does not. But I really do NOT want to install Chrome because I trust Google about as much as I trust Microsoft, which is to say Not At All.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    There have been some issues with Flash 11 in the recent past. This could be a manifestation of that issue. Kindly check this response below to see if this helps you in viewing Flash videos.
    Also, if you want to check if this is a flash problem and specifically on youtube, you can try the HTML5 version of Youtube. In this, there are no plugins involved, and the browser natively renders the videos. You can signup for the HTML5 trial by visiting http://youtube.com/html5. Please try that and check if the issue goes away.
    Also, in this case, Google might not be doing anything sinister - they generally try to be standards compliant too. You can definitely try installing Google Chrome and test this issue, but we definitely would want you to continue to be a Firefox user :)

    Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
    To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
    #Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
    #Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
    #Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
    # Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
    # Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
    # Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
    # Restart Firefox.
    This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
    <hr>
    Also, try this one too
    Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox are most probably caused by a recent Flash update and/or a malfunctioning browser plugin such as Real Player.
    In order to remedy the problem, please perform the steps mentioned in these Knowledge Base articles:
    * [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]
    * [[Flash 11.3 crashes]]
    * [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]]

  • TS2634 Why does every lightning cable that I connect to my iPad eventually stop working?

    I have purchased a dozen lightning cables. Some work, some don't.  Every one I have purchased has stopped working after a short period if use. It may take a few months but it will eventually stop working.  I take care of the cables. They are not subjected to physical damage of any kind.
    Please advise

    If they are genuine Apple cables they have a 12 month warranty either from the device they came with or when purchased as an Accessory

  • Cannot save files or use the undo function in InDesign CC

    As of this morning, I am not able to save files or use the Undo function in InDesign CC. Tried many fixes but nothing has worked. I have a ton of work to get done today -- any solutions for this???

    Im viewing this thread because its just happened to me again... my solution is below.
    Im currently running the latest version of  indesign cc (9.2.1) on my brand new 13" macbook pro. (OSX 10.9.4)
    As noted earlier in this thread, when this happens, before you give up and close in frustration,  EXPORT the file as IDML, and your all good!
    Ive had this issue on several occasions using Indesign CC since October. Here are my 2 'Usual Suspects' when this occurs:
    1. culprit: SUITCASE FUSION 5 – deactivate 'auto activation' from within Indesign Prefs. In some cases, i didn't even restart Indesign (much less my computer) for this to work.
    (menu: INDESIGN/PREFERENCES/ SUITCASE FUSION 5 AUTO ACTIVATION PREFS (bottom of submenu list)  Uncheck the top box,  'Auto Activate....')
    Im assuming this was rechecked to auto-activate after an update. Hasn't happened in a while—but sure enough, the auto-activate box was checked again.
    Its a pain having to manually-activate fonts, but its alot easier than redoing a bunch of work!
    2. culprit: CRASH PLAN (online backup)– actually, ive seen this happen with a couple of backup programs. I don't know that this is for sure an issue, but it did resolve the saving issue earlier this year.  I just pause backup for a few hours, then resume. Seems to be ok.
    Steps i took:
    Quit Indesign CC (AFTER EXPORTING the file as IDML!)
    Pause backup within CrashPlan.
    Restart Indesign CC.

  • In the new Firefox 4, what happned to the save tabs and quit feature, is there a way i can still use this function?

    ''Duplicate post, continue here - [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/815571]''
    I just downloaded Firefox 4 and i had a problem about my Norton spy-ware toolbar not being compatible, but anyway the most important thing that makes me pick Firefox over any other web browser is that i am able to save tabs and then exit. I think this was the greatest things because i could leave turn my laptop off and save power and when i got back i cold resume what i as doing. My question is just will you ever have this save tabs and exit function again or at least a way people would turn the function on by will.

  • How can I Hide(not Disable) the Save As and Exit options in the File menu of Excel Documents in SharePoint 2013?

    Hi,
    I want to hide(not disable) the "Save As" and "Exit" options in the File Menu of Excel Documents in SharePoint 2013.When I make changes in the excelribbon.css file of xlviewer.aspx,all the options under File menu are getting hidden but
    I want to hide only these two options while retaining the others.
    Kindly suggest me a method to achieve this.
    Looking forward to your reply at the earliest.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Sanjana

    Hi Sanjana,
    To hide the “Save As” and “Exit” options in xlviewer.aspx page in SharePoint, I recommend to use the code below(however it is not recommended):
    <style>
    div.cui-menusection li.cui-menusection-items:nth-child(2)
    display:none !important;
    div#m_excelWebRenderer_ewaCtl_menuJewelSaveAs{
    display:none !important;
    div#m_excelWebRenderer_ewaCtl_msJewelSecondary{
    display:none !important;
    </style>
    As “:nth-child()” selector is supported in IE 9 and later versions, please use IE 9 or later versions’ IE browser.
