Can't do thumbnail drag

I am using very old files that were originally done in Quark and now the files need to be updated and changed into InDesign. The 6 page letter has some Zaph Dingbats that are showing yellow boxes behind the checkmarks that were done originally in Zaph Dingbats or ZaphDingbatsITC. I have been using a thumbnail drag on the other components and that worked to fix where the yellow boxes appeared to be showing errors around different fonts and text areas. But I can't do a thumbnail drag on this document. 1. When I tried, I lost all my text on the front page over where I had an image that must have had a wrap assigned to it in the new document. But 2. more importantly, when I do a thumbnail drag to the new document, I loose all my nice text flow through the entire document and each page text is broken into only that page, which for corrections and future corrections for use of this file, will create a big problem if my text does not flow thru the entire document. Thank you for any suggestions on how to fix the check marks in my original document so I don't lose  the entire set up of the document and flow.

The yellow boxes are telling you a font substitution has occured (is that right Bob?). Are you on a newer Mac than when the files were originally created? If so, the files were probable created using the Postscript version of ITC Zapf Dingbat. The newer Macs have a True Type version of Zapf Dingbat installed in the system that conflicts with the Postscript version (FYI — the same thing happens with Helvetica). If this is the case do a Google on replace Mac system fonts. There are several ways to do it based on what operating system you're currently running.

    I can see my thumbnails for my events in iphoto, but when I click to open the folder, no photos show up. However, when I hover over the thumbnail, it shows the flicker of images
    that should be inside the folder, as well as # of images in each folder. It also occasionally says the following when I try to even open iphoto:  "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete." So, I am scared to hit "upgrade" for fear I will never recover any of the images as the wording in this quote seems odd. The photos are not in the trash. Did I lose them all? Do you know if/how I can retrieve them?

    iPhoto 08?
    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. 
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • Can't see Thumbnails in the Organizer

    I recently bought a new HP computer. It has Win 7 64 bit installed and is a strong enough system to handle PSE (4 Gig ram, dedicated graphics card.....) I had PSE import my photos automatically. I am new to PSE and think I did it right. The problem is that I cannot see the thumbnails in the window. It only shows an hourglass icon. If I drag the bar down to see the older or newer photos, I can see the thumbnails but then they immediately turn to the hourglass icon. I cannot seem to figure this out to get it to show them. Any help?

    Perhaps the thumbnail cache is corrupt; try recreating it with steps 3 and 5 of this FAQ:

  • Can I resize thumbnails in the Review widget?

    In the review widget options, the sixth option down is called "Drag Thumbnail to Target."
    Does anyone know if I can resize the thumbnails at the bottom?

    Hi Ian,
    Are you talking about the thumbnails in the Pages pane?
    In that case, you can right-click on the Pages pane to bring up the context menu.
    "Enlarge Page Thumbnails" and "Reduce Page Thumbnails" are items on that menu.
    You can also click on the little gears icon under the name of the Pane. That bring up the same menu.

  • Can't print thumbnails from ID CS6 v. 8.0.2

    I am running InDesign CS6 v. 8.0.2 on an iMac running OS X 10.10.1.
    I cannot print thumbnails to my HP LaserJet 500 Color M551dn printer. Neither can I print thumbnails out to a postscript file. Instead, InDesign reports a postscript error.
    Is there a known solution to this problem?

    @Mark – with the right PPD installed you could print to PostScript. If you have Acrobat Distiller at hand, that requires an install of Acrobat Pro, you could distill that PostScript file to PDF and print that PDF from Acrobat Pro without using PostScript technology (if you have to).
    Do the following:
    Get the PPD file (PostScript Printer Description) Acrobat 9 PPD here:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/save-as-pdf-options-not.html#main_InstallAcroPPD
    If it is not already there, create a folder exactly named PPDs in the folder:
    /Applications/Adobe Indesign CS6/Presets/
    Put the PPD file inside.
    Restart InDesign and use that PPD, now available in your print menu, to print to PostScript with Thumbnails enabled.
    Then start Acrobat Distiller.app
    Chose one of the presets for distilling PostScript to PDF you can find pre-installed there or change an existing one to your needs.
    Acrobat Distiller.app should be present under:
    /Applications/Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro/
    or, if you installed Acrobat 10 Pro under:
    /Applications/Adobe Acrobat X Pro/
    Open the PostScript file in Distiller or drag it to Distiller. A PDF will be created.
    Open that PDF in Adobe Reader or Acrobat Pro and print from there.
    Note: There is an option for printing your PDF with pixels only under the "Advanced" tab of the print menu of Acrobat Pro (should be there with Adobe Reader as well): "Print As Image". Chose the right value for dpi resolution, might by 600 dpi.
    That should work in every case.

  • Iphoto : can see all thumbnails but not full size

    I imported about 1000 photos into ipod and I can see the thumbnails just fine. But, when I double click on any thumbnail, all I see is a big white empty box with a ? inside. Please help!

    Andy:
    Give this a try: download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.

    Not a good idea.
    What you could do, is have the Library content on the external hard drive and simply tell your iTunes programme to look on the hard drive for your music etc.. However, once you set that up, that hard drive needs to be connected and ready to read, before you start the iTunes programme. If it isn't ready, iTunes will simply go back to the default location for the music, find nothing and then you'll be back here saying that you've lost your Library.

  • Why can I no longer drag and drop in iMovie 11?

    Why can I no longer drag and drop in iMovie 11? This means I can't select transitions, titles, or even move clips within the project. Never had this problem before.

    Serious bugs in iM 11 with numerous lock-ups and crashes.  I shouldn't have upgraded -- now I'm pulling out my hair trying to complete a video project with it.
    Apple is losing their way.

  • I have created a site with iWeb. I have replaced the iWeb Nav bar with a vertical one I made myself. Problem is, my top button disables itself if it overlaps into the "hidden" nav bar area. I can cmd click and drag it into this area, but then all the rest

    I have created a site with iWeb. I have replaced the iWeb Nav bar with a vertical one I made myself. Problem is, my top button disables itself (and the animation doesn't work) if it overlaps into the "hidden" nav bar area (indicated by a blue rectangle). I can cmd click and drag it into this area, but then all the rest of my site is pushed down the page. Don't know what to do about this. I don't know how to bring the rest of the page up without dragging it also into the designated nav bar area. Also, by doing this, is it affecting my site in ant way? see my site here at www.steveburrowsimages.com
    The home page is with it all draged into the nav bar area and the about page is with is outside the nav bar area (notice that the top button does not animate or work as a button.
    Getting confused here. Anyone got any ideas?

    Well, you made a good start with SEO by getting rid of the iWeb default navigation since it doesn't help the spiders and, out there in the real world, there are more people than you would think with javascript turned off in their browsers.
    One of the downsides of iWeb is that it doesn't allow for the alt attribute in the img tag. Its well worth adding these to give you extra keywords even if you have captioned all your images. Use iWeb SEO Tool for this...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/Tags.html
    iWeb, just like most drag and drop software, creates a huge amount of code which causes the pages to load slowly in the browser. Running you files through an optimizer will help to reduce this problem and further reduce the size of image files even beyond the initial optimization you do before loading them into iWeb...

    You should get the mobile version of YouTube which sends Firefox a notice to open it in the YouTube App. That will have a much better playback experience than running Flash in the browser.
