"Adobe InDesign is missing required files. Please reinstall."

Hi EveryOne !
"Adobe InDesign is missing required files. Please reinstall. Missing files: \Program Files\Common FIles\Adobe\TypeSupport\...\CP1252.TXT" This is the message I keep receiving on CS5.5 of InDesign.
I am running InDesign CS5.5 North American, English, with updates on my WinXP SP3 machine. Local copy, no network server. Yes, I might possibly need a newer machine, or a newer desk, or to reinstall WinXP to fix this one problem, but everything other than InDesign CS5.5 still runs great and I feel no compelling reason to make system-wide changes or upgrade until Win8 has been thoroughly tested and new hardware is released and tried and true for that OS.
So, last year, I received the same message and reinstalling didn't work either. So, I pried everything Adobe off of my computer and reinstalled Adobe PageMaker 7.x. But now I am compelled by my co-workers to use ID, which I have grown to love. I have no desire or $ to upgrade to ID6 but must make use of the ID 5.5. I don't want to uninstall PageMaker as we still use it for legacy projects and it has been a faithful companion to me since it was called Aldus Pagemaker.
My question: what is causing these messages and why does re-installation not help ? If there is a system problem, why is only CS5.5 affected and not my PageMaker and Quark ? I have searched the web and found only related posts (with no responses relevant to me) for users of Apple products.
Thank you in advance for any information that you may be able to provide.

When I open my itunes account i get a pop up that says itunes cannot open because it is missing some files, please reinstall itunes. What do I need to do? Will I lose all of my music?

I am trying to open my iTunes and a pop up says it cant open because files are missing. it also says please reinstall itunes. What do i do? Will i lose all of my music?

Let's try a repair install of iTunes.
Restart the PC first.
If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair".
If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", and click "Change". Select "Repair" and click "Next" as per the following screenshot:
Can you launch your iTunes now?

When starting InDesignCS2 received new error message -- InDesign is missing required system fonts or

We are not able to start Indesign CS2 without getting the error message: <<InDesign is missing required system fonts or CMap files. Please reinstall InDesign.>> This is on WinXP. Recently I installed Creative Suite CS4. It took almost a day to install. The installation kept on stopping. Each time we were able to install one more program. After checking all of the programs we discovered that Firefox would not start due to a possible font error. After reading many posts I decided to uninstall a lot of fonts since I did not know which one was the culprit. However now I am missing a font (at least I hope that this is caused by a missing font and not anything else) that should be there and I don't know which one it should be. I did uninstall a <lot> of fonts and don't remember which ones. WE did uninstall all CS2 programs and then reinstalled only the necessary three. However that did not make any difference. Any ideas and suggestions would be welcome Thanks Pia Pehtla

"Missing Installed Components - Please Reinstall"

"Missing Installed Components - Please Reinstall"
I get this error-message when starting up the update software..
It doesent matter if I have my Nokia E65 connected or not.
I use Symantec Security, but I can't seem to find any problems there either.
Any clues??

You seem to suspect that it could be connected to your Symantec Security. Why don't you try disabling Symantec and see if that makes any difference.

Missing required files (cannot run iTunes)

Hey guys, every time I finish installing iTunes and try to open it, I get an error saying "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes"
I've un-install/re-installed/fixed iTunes but the same error message appears whenever I try to access iTunes (as a result of iTunes not being able to work, iPod acts like a regular flash drive; i.e. plug in, and it'll open folder, not iTunes)
I've tried looking around for some sort of quick fix, but nothing covers my situation (and I've tried other fixes not for my particular case, but they don't work either)
Any help/input is appreciated.

This is kind of irritating; is there a proper support center or something whom I could contact and get feedback on this issue?
Your iPod allows you "one complimentary support incident, which must be used within the first 90 days of product ownership." You say you've had your iPod for a month but I'd suggest you hold off using the freebie for a little while and see if we can figure something out here. For a couple of reasons: One, you'll have the complimentary incident available for another couple of months ... just in case ... and two, I don't know if they'd come up with a solution right off the bat.
For the time being can you try running just QuickTime - which iTunes make use of in doing its job - on your computer and let us know how that goes. If it fails to start, report any error messages you get.
Also, you might want to run through the General Installation Troubleshooting section of this article in the Apple Knowledge Base.

Itunes 6.04 cannot run due to missing required files

Hi there,
I have just installed the new Itunes 6.04, and after installation, there is an error message "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes."
I have search through the Forum and did exactly everything suggested there:
1) Uninstall iTunes, uninstall QT (using the normal Add/remove programs within the control panel) and then clean up all directories manually, reboot and then reinstall again. Not working!
2) Download Window clean up and clean the iTunes and QT, the reinstall iTunes, not working!
3) Uninstall QT, uninstall iTunes, install the QT standalong version, install iTunes again, not working!
I am running out of opinions. Maybe I will try to uninstall everything, and then use Regedit to delete anything that is iTunes related registry. Does anyone has a better opinion? or, is it anyway I could check which file(s) are required?
Many thanks,
iPodrc
Windows 2000

Please be careful when editting the registry. Its a good way to really screw your PC up. I would suggest exporting your registry before any large scale edits. Beware the registry file will be huge.
As for your problems, when you uninstalled everything and rebooting after each uninstall. After you got QT installed from a standalone, did it display a video to verfiy it worked? Did you reboot afterwards before trying to install itunes? Also I didn't see it mentioned but make sure you turn off virus and firewall during your install.
I just noticed you are from Germany, when installing what language are you selecting? Also what language is your PC set to?

IPhoto missing system files, wont reinstall

I tried iPhoto today and was given the following prompt:
iPhoto is missing system files and cannot open.
Please reinstall iPhoto from your iLife CD.
So I tried to reinstall the program but it never catches. It starts the installation but always tells me to try again.
I started having problems with QuickTime at the same time, is there a chance these two are related?
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Adobe InDesign downloading Never-Ending file from Web

My Adobe InDesign 2.0 application has automatically gone onto the web and is downloading a file (for the last 8 hours) making the application unusable. The error message I get when trying to launch the application is:
Downloading: File 2 of 2...
No personal information is being transmitted.
File: AWEDBFiles4.awe
To: Macintosh HD:Library:Application Support:Adobe:Web:AWEDBFiles4.awe
when I go to the directory where this file is being downloaded, I see a 0 KB file entitled:
AWEDBFiles4.awe.tmp
I also see a 4KB text file entitled:
AWEXFiles.txt when I open it, it says..."we're sorry. Please try again later."
In the same directory is a 4 KB file entitled AdobeWorkflowTemp_.awf which has 8 entries for 04-14-2007 each saying:

Can someone please help me get rid of this stupid download. I realize that I have an old operating system, but if you had my income, then you would not be able to upgrade either. Please help me restore my Adobe InDesign into a workable application so I can get my resume out...I need a job. Any help you give me will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Here is what worked:
1. When I launched an Adobe application, I was getting an error message with a title bar that read:
"Updating Adobe Online components from Adobe.com"
The error message read:
"Downloading: File 2 of 2...
No personal information is being transmitted.
File: AWEDBFiles4.awe
To: Macintosh HD:Library:Application Support:Adobe:Web:"
The download would not end...it went on for hours.
2. In order to stop the downloads, I had to "Force Quit" the applications that I was trying to launch.
3. I went to the downloading file named on the error message:
"AWEDBFiles4.awe"
and trashed the file.
I noticed another file (a text file) with a similar name in the same directory:
"AWEXFiles.txt"
when I opened the text file it read:
"we're sorry. Please try again later."
I trashed that file too and emptied the trash.
4. I exited all open applications and shut down the computer.
5. I booted up the computer WITHOUT powering up my DSL line and modem.
6. I went to an Adobe application, in this case, Photoshop and to the "Help" pulldown menu and clicked:
"Adobe Online"
"Preferences"
"Update Options"
and clicked
"Never"
7. I exited Photoshop and shut down the computer.
8. I booted up the DSL line and modem and then the computer.
9. All is good.

InDesign CC | Error with indd file - "Cannot open the file...Adobe InDesign may not support file format"

I encountered a very strange error with InDesign CC after saving a file created in CS4. I'd attach the file but I'm not sure how to do this, if I'm able to. The file is 44kb and doesn't seem like it should be (file I saved had a large book cover). Now since the original CS4 file was overwritten using InDesign CC, the file is corrupt and I'm getting the error message displayed below. The file is not open within another application. Has anyone gotten this before?

Thanks for your response Peter. Below is the gibber contained in the first four lines. In the first line, where it reads "mimetypeapplication" and then "indesign-idml-package", I would assume that this should've been a valid idml file.

Adobe Indesign 5 Loses linked files

I have a user who when she creates a new or opens an existiing Adobe Indesign document, and links external images, saves, closes and reopens the document. It loses what she's linked.
She's running a Dell Precision T3400, 2.4GHz, 2GB RAM. The file server's running Windows Server 2003. She has read permission to the directory the images are in and modify persmission to the file she's working on.
This was working fine until a few weeks ago.. Nothing's changed here so I'm stumped. I've gotten her to try it on a different PC, and as a different user and the same thing happens.
Any help would be appreciated. She's running Indesign 5 and the full CS3 Design Standard Suite with all the latest updates..

OK, I've done a little more testing and here's what we found:
Linking files from the Windows Server in the same site: Loses links. We tried several combinations, different shares, directories etc, and everytime it lost the links.
Linking files from a NetApp Filer located on a remote site: Retains the links
Linking files from the local PC: Retains the links
Unfortunately I don't have a NetApp Filer on site that I can test, but I'm about to test it on a remote Windows Server. It also happens on all PCs accross on this site, linking by either IP address or host name makes no difference, and the time and time zone is consistent accross all PCs. I've also got another site where there is happening, the only thing common between these two sites that isn't on the other four sites I support is Windows file servers (our other sites run NetApp filers).
Any help would be appreciated.

PKGBUILD best practice for autotools and missing required files

I am trying to update one of my packages in the AUR. Upstream using GNU automake/autoconf tools and has worked just fine for previous versions. This time around, the download from upstream is missing several of the mandatory files required by autoconf. I am trying to figure out the best way to deal with this.
1. I can add just create them, and distribute them with the Tarbell, and push them into src directory prior to invoking autoconf.
or
2. I can use the --add-missing flag, but that requires the running of autoconf multiple times (unless I am confused)
What is the best practice when files such as NEWS and README are missing?

I highly recommend you review Brad Hedlund's videos regarding UCS networking here:
http://bradhedlund.com/2010/06/22/cisco-ucs-networking-best-practices/
You may want to focus on Part 10 in particular, as this talks about running UCS in end-host mode without vPC or VSS.

Matt

Missing photo files after reinstalling Snow leapard 10.6.8

I have reinstalled snow leopard 10.6.8 and am missing file I try to name in lightroom 1.4 Are the images recoverable?

Hello mauser11,
If you were using Time Machine before you re installed Snow Leopard, you should be able to restore the file in question from the backup. This section of the article named:
Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
Restoring data from Time Machine backups
With Time Machine, you can go "back in time" to restore files, versions of files, or your entire system. Make sure your backup drive is connected and mounted. If it is not, Time Machine alerts you that "Your Time Machine backup disk can't be found."
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

Why is adobe indesign CC saving my file in the previous file path rather than current folder path?

I've just updated to CC and when I go to 'save as' Indesign file it opens (auto remembers) the wrong folder/location. Can I make it remember the right folder to save to?

This is as designed. I’m assuming that you are opening a file that was created in an older version. Once you save it as a CC file, a save as will go back to the folder it was saved in.

"Adobe InDesign is missing required files. Please reinstall."
