Can't do anything on InDesign page

I have installed InDesign CS6. I also listened to and read four tutorials on how to use the product.
The toolbar I have is different from the toolbar in the CS6 tutorial. I do not have a T for test. Also, the product does not tell me what the toolbar icons are for when I hover over them.
I also am able to draw boxes on the InDesign page for placing text, but the boxes do not stay there. I can draw them with the mouse but as soon as I let up on the mouse, the boxes disappear.
So I cannot place any text or photos on the InDesign page.
Please help!

Sorry, pressing the tab key didn't make the toolbar come back. It did
control the tools on the top of the page, but I'm talking about the toolbar
that goes along the left side of the InDesign page. Those now are missing.

  • Can not edit anything in InDesign CS 6

    I have 3 users using CS6. 1 out of the 3 can not edit InDesign doc's. The other 2 can. Also the "1" has drop downs that will not expand whereas the other 2 can. I have uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail.

    Then they haven’t changed the O/S magnification to 150%. My guess is the other one has.

  • I can't do anything with the text boxes in my InDesign file.

    I consider myself pretty good with InDesign. But, right now, I'm totally flummoxed. I've just spent two hours designing a newsletter front and inside front page. I've filled the two text boxes with text that I stole from a Word file. But, now, I can't do anything in those text boxes. I click and nothing happens. Nothing highlights. The frame isn't locked. I don't know what to do. I'm kind of freaked out that InDesign can do this to me.

    Check for locked Layers
    Object (menu) > Unlock All on Spread
    Verify Live Page vs Master Page (You might have worked on the Master (?)

    The laptop's too far away from the router to be connected by ethernet. It's all wifi.
    No separate server app on the laptop, it's all samba
    The files are on a windows laptop and a hard drive hooked up to the windows laptop. The windows share server is pants, so I'd need some sort of third party server running. Maybe you weren't suggesting to use Samba to connect to the windows share though?
    I'm glad that you've all understood my ramblings and taken and interest, thanks The way I see it, I can't be the only netbook user these days looking for this kind of convenience, and I certainly won't be once chrome and moblin hit the market.

Can not open anything within a site. Already made sure Java & Adobe Flash is up to date.

    Hi There Linc Davis,
    Wow, you are the best.
    Yip this is what the website looks like. Great job Linc Davis.
    Not surprised that the "Shop" tab is missing. Darn.
    Well can you try to access it's "sister" website: astralmusic.com and astralmusicshop.com?
    Since you are awesome with the "Flash" can you investigate if this website has a issue withis this "Flash" too?
    Please Linc Davis

  • How can I import text produced in Pages into Adobe inDesign?

    How can I import text produced in Pages into Adobe inDesign?

    Menu > File > Export > Word .doc/x
    I doubt it will do graphics and layout, but maybe, depending on your version of Indesign you may hit lucky (but probably not).

  • Firefox will no longer open completely. My home page appears, but I can't do anything with it. See "details" box for full description.

    Firefox will no longer open completely. My home page appears, but I can't do anything with it--can't use "Help," can't search the Web, can't even use "Sign Out." I have to close it entirely to get out of it. A box comes up and says "Yahoo Mail is loading especially slowly" and tells me my computer speed is slow. But this is the same computer I've always used for Firefox, and Yahoo comes up quickly and completey through Internet Explorer (which is how I'm sending this message). Can anyone help me load Firefox so that it works? I even downloaded the latest version of Firefox, but it makes no difference. Thanks.

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 15.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
    If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.
    You can also try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that works.

    Did you set up restrictions for changing account info in Settings/General/Restrictions? If yes, disable them and try again to edit your mail account info.

  • I can't print anything from Firefox. I get blank pages

    Ever since I downloaded the previous update, I can't print anything from Firefox. I just downloaded version 3.6.8 and I have the same problem. I am using a Mac with OS 10.6. Whenever I try to print an email or a web page from Firefox I get a single blank page.
    I can print fine from Safari. Firefox worked fine until I installed version3.6.5 (or whatever the previous version was)

    Thanks I will check out the site!

    Just wondering peter what you think, instead of output to pdf you copy and then create create new file in photoshop and paste into that file. Is that sort of the same thing?
    Seems to be ok especially if you enlarge the object before you copy it into photoshop.
    I think what you are pasting (never bothered to try this) is just the screen preview, hence the need to enlarge. Why would you waste your time doing that instead of exporting to a high-res PDF?

    Thank you so much for helping,
    But i really wonder how you did that. did you always switch between design view and preview view, then change the key position for 2px then switch back, to align the four letters? because i imagine that can get really frustrating, if you have a logo consisting of 58 parts instead of 4!:)
    Anyway thank you very much for your time and effort!!!!
