Links do not appear in links panel in inDesign CS4

I don't recall when this happened but I no longer have any links in the Links Panel in inDesign CS4 in ANY of my documents old, new, it doesn't matter. If I package a file it gathers all the links if I need to update a link I have to go to the original link outside of inDesign to find it. I have found other problems like this in other forums but have not been successful with the solutions.
Can anyone please please help me with this??
Thanks

hello, when this is happening after you've already updated firefox with your admin account, try to delete the ''updates'' folder and ''active-update.xml & updates.xml'' within the %localappdata% folder of your restricted account like it is described in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update#Software_Update_not_working_properly

Images in document are not consistently showing as highlighted in Links panel in InDesign CC

Hi all,
I am working with some very long documents with tons and tons of images. Often I need to view the name of the image in the links panel but after a while of working in the document, the images no longer show as being highlighted in the links panel. If I close the document and reopen, then once again things will work correctly and if I click on an image, it will be highlighted in the links panel...but then a moment later it stops working again. This is so frustrating:( It's obviously a bug. Is anyone else experiencing this?
And a quick question regarding this....is there way to search for an item in the links panel if I DO know the file name of the image, without having to scroll through hundreds of images (that also seem to be out of order - not listed alphabetically)
Thank you in advance

But I can clearly see the highlight in both CS6 AND CC when I click on an image...but after a short while of working in CC the highlight no longer works in CC:
CS6:
CC:
I am just SO used to ctrl-clicking on the highlighted link to access further functions. When the image link is not highlighted, I cannot ctrl-click on the link anymore because I don't know which the link is!

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.

Windows server 2008 can't access control panel and can't choose "properties" under "my computer"

Hello everyone!
Today after a schedule restart on the night I thought everything was normal with my server. But When i go to "start -> control panel" it show me "empty". And if I try to lunch "change/remove software" via search window in
"start" then nothing happen.
I know also that I can't right click on "computer" and choose "properties" in the start-menu.
Also another problem. I did install Fbackup to make schedule file backups on the night. The software worked well to launch when I had installed it, but after the night, this morning it just crash on launch.
I can also tell that I did add from 4 CPU core to 6 CPU cores.

Hi,
Have you tried to see if the issue persists when you boot into Safe Mode? Since you it shows blank when accessing Control Panel, please check if the policy setting below has been
configured.
Please choose Start – Run - type (gpedit.msc) - click on (Administrative Templates) - (control Panel) -
Prohibit access to Control Panel and Show only specified Control Panel applets. If they were configured, please disable them to see if it could resolve the issue.
In addition, the issue may also be caused by the virus, please run a system scan to see if there is any virus. At this time, you can also launch Control Panel apps from the command
line, and here's a list of .cpl files for your reference that you can print out:
Accessibility Options
access.cpl

I can't access any of my InDesign files

Hi there,
This morning I turned on my work computer only to discover I couldn't access any of my Indesign, photoshop or illustrator files, despite the fact that some of the files were saved on both the computer and an external hard drive. There's now 100's of files I now can't access and I'm starting to freak out as my IT dept said they didn't know why.
The files would appear as white thumbnails and when I clicked on them the following message would appear:
Adobe Indesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application.
I'd been using the same version of Indesign all along (CS4) so it's not as if I've recently updated and now can't open the files. I also tried opening the files up on another computer but no luck. This just seemed to happen overnight and no one has any answers. If anyone has experienced anything similar with so many files, I'd really appreciate your advice and I'd also like to understand the cause of the problem so something like this doesn't happen again.
Thank you in advance.
Clare

First, I suspect there's a pretty good chance the files are OK and that the damage, whatever it is, is at the program level, and was done to your whole network. Do you have another system not connected to your network, at home perhaps, where you could try opening some of these files?
I hesitate to ask the obvious (as I say, I'm hardly in a position to second guess these guys) but if these are Windows systems, have they tried a system restore to a few days ago, or a restore from a backup image for either a Windows or a Mac system?
What about uninstalling your Adobe programs, running the cleaner tool, and reinstalling? See CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3

Can not access trial version of indesign cs5

hello everyone.
i currently own a version of indesign cs3, and downloaded the cs5 trial version...
when i install, it asks "would you like to install as trial?"
i say "yes"
it then installs, but when I try to launch, its picking up some serial number somewhere and telling me that i need to deactivate the products on other machines before i can proceed.
i own photoshop cs5,   and dreamweaver from that same suite,, but thats it..
how can i activate my trial of indesign CS5? i tried a complete uninstall and reinstall.. but it keeps picking up that phantom serial number that i dont recognize.
very frustrating..
btw, i am mac...   intell   os 10.65

thanks for your help.. i really appreciate it..
so i did a complete uninstall again from the application manager,   downloaded the correct trial version from the adobe site, and did a complete reinstall,
and i keep getting the same message when i try to launch. its seeing some serial number that i dont own.... and does not give me the option to run as a trial..
super frustrating,   i run a photoshop retouching company and own 20 or so photoshops,, and i just need this stupid indesign for an FPO.....
i have a thousand versions of indesign cs3.. but dont want to pop for the new version over one job....
shucks
i guess i am going to have to call the client and ask them to resave as a pdf or something..sort of embarrassing..
super frustrating..
thanks adobe....

Can't access control panel

When I open garage band the control panel with record, rewind, play etc is hidden below the menu. How do I adjust garage band window to access the panel?

Do you mean it's hidden behind the dock?
Is dock hiding on or off?
You should be able to resize garageband by grabbing the lower right conner.
Make sure you have the correct screen resolution.

Can't access Phonegap panel, sign in NOT working

So signed up for a full verison of creative cloud a couple of days ago and I'm having trouble already. In Dreamweaver CC I can't seem to sign into Phonegap build service, a pop-up box flashed up with an error saying invaild username and password. But when I log onto the Phonegap build website it automatically logs me in no problem.
And now when I go to Dreamweaver CC and try to access the Phonegap service panel from the site tab, its not even appearing!!!
If anyone has a solution I would be extreamly greatful.
Thanks Philippe

Hi philippe_
In the time that I ask around, can you try logging into https://build.phonegap.com/ with your Adobe ID and see if you can build your application from there?
Also, check out the solutions in this document:

Can't float control panel in InDesign

I have an external monitor connected to my laptop. I cannot drag the entirety of Indesign (or Illustrator) for that matter onto my other screen. It's impossible to work, because I can only move the artboard, and have to move my cursor to an entirely different screen to use tools. I have read everything about the control panel and docking, and the "float" on the menu does nothing. InDesign and Illustrator became permanently docked to my laptop after an update. Photoshop does not do this. PLEASE HELP! I need this to work!

I can't even drag the window around in one laptop screen. I feel like this is a setting issue and not an actual bug, but changing to "float" under the control panel menu does nothing.
In Photoshop I have my menu bar that I can drag around the entire window with and has the close/minimize/restore buttons on it. In InDesign the only thing I can move are windows (like Layers, Character, etc) and the window containing my art.

Can't access links from emails

All of a sudden in my emails when I try to use a link to get to the survey or information in safari it won't connect anymore...any setting or something I can change?

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
No data will be lost.
