Can't insert glyphs with Indesign CS5 under Mac OS X snow leopard

Hi,
I justed moved to Indesign CS5 on Mac OS X Snow Leopard.
I can't insert the glyphs.
I can open the glyph panel, I see the glyphs but when I double click they don't insert.
Does anybody know this issue and how to solve it?
Thanks for your help.
Regards
Anne

  • InDesign CS5.5 hangs on startup (Snow Leopard 10.6.8)

    Newly installed CS5.5 from disc + online update. InDesign hangs shortly after startup.
    Found some suggestions in this thread on CS5:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/3116186
    Fixed by deleting the SING datastore folder, as per Adobe support document, which doesn't yet say it applies to CS5.5.
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/408/kb408816.html
    Hope this helps someone.

    InDesign CS5.5 currently crashes on launch when launching from the dock or the app direct, throwing up a crash report (http://pastebin.com/8dNiiSWu).
    This crash is from opening a Flash file (SWF) inside the PMWelcomeScreen plugin. You can try moving Plug-Ins/PMPack/PMWelcomeScreen.InDesignPlugin out of the plugins folder, as a workaround only. You won't get the Welcome Screen, but that's perhaps a small price to pay. Not sure which flash file it is opening and failing on. Are you behind a firewall?
    If launching from a document, InDesign launches, throws up a crash report, but you can still work on the document. Can still print/pdf but on closing another crash report is thrown up.
    Sorry, this doesn't really make sense. If InDesign crashes, you cannot continue to work in it. Perhaps you are getting confused by previous crash reporter dialog windows that you have not dismissed or submitted so were still hanging around. Also, sometimes they take quite a while to pop up -- not always contemporaneous with the crash.

  • Is it possible to insert coloured glyphs with InDesign CS5?

    I write about card games and use (multiple) red 'heart' and 'diamond' symbols. If it is not possible to insert coloured glyphs, can anyone suggest a quick way of getting around this problem (other than copy/paste)? Many thanks, Zeb

    Sandee,
    Do you actually load a typeface (cardshark bold, perhaps) and then press a key (h or d) to make the heart or diamond? Then all you need are a character style for red and a GREP style to automatically change the letter h in cardshark bold to the character style.
    Uh -- no. Under those circumstances it would not work. A GREP style can change all letters 'h' and 'd' to red, but not "just those in cardshark bold". This would only work if this font has been applied in a paragraph style that also has the GREP style added.
    It does work, however, with non-Symbol fonts such as Arial Unicode MS, where you'd insert the correct glyphs via the Glyphs palette. This works because the heart and diamond glyphs are encoded into Unicode.

  • Will an original iSight camera (peripheral) work with newer versions of Mac OS X (Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion)?

    Hi there,
    I'm thinking about purchasin a used iSight camera so I can skype using my TV (which I now use as a monitor). Will this older legacy product work with my MacBook Pro (2011)?
    Thanks,
    Alex

    It can work, but I'd recommend a new compatible USB cam instead.

  • Create unlimited folios today with InDesign CS5 and 5.5!

    Adobe's official statement
    http://blogs.adobe.com/digitalpublishing/2011/10/create-unlimited-folios-today-with-indesi gn-cs5-5.html
    Did you know…
    Customers with InDesign CS5 and CS5.5 can now create an unlimited number of .folio files for no additional charge.
    You already know that InDesign CS5 and CS5.5 integrate with Adobe Digital Publishing Suite to allow customers to publish apps to tablet devices such as the iPad, Xoom and PlayBook. But for InDesign CS5 and CS5.5 customers who are interested in creating content for tablet devices but are not yet customers, it is now easier than ever to try digital publishing before making the financial investment in the Digital Publishing Suite solution that meets your needs.
    InDesign CS5 and CS5.5 customers can now:
    Create an unlimited number of .folio files in InDesign
    Preview them on Adobe Content Viewer  – including interactivity – to see how they will render when published to a tablet device
    Share them with colleagues or clients on a 1:1 basis via the Adobe Content Viewer
    Further, customers can now access the Folio Producer Service in the Digital Publishing Suite with a valid Adobe ID to manage and edit their .folio files. All of this can be done before purchasing Digital Publishing Suite.
    If you are interested in learning how to create an App directly from InDesign CS5 or CS5.5, without writing code or depending on a developer, feel free to try it. You can pitch ideas to your client or your boss; or you can build a portfolio of your work and preview it on a tablet device. Practice makes perfect, and with an unlimited number of .folios, you can practice as much as you want! When you’re ready to publish to an app store, you can select the Digital Publishing Suite solution that is right for you.

    I'm sorry EvBurk, what you want is intended not to work.
    All Adobe's promotional material concerning InDesign and Digital Publishing (including the above "official statement") carefully uses verbs like "create" or "produce". But they never mention "distribute" or "spread", without explicitly referring to their exclusive hosting services. The whole Folio thing (in contrast to the former "issue" format) revolves around not giving you any chance of physically exporting, managing or owing the folio file itself. It's always somewhere on Adobe's or Apple's servers, or on your iPad, which is also as shut as a vault. So there's no way to export a folio file and toss it around like a pdf or jpeg. All you can do (without a paid distribution) is "share" your folio with some others, under the idea of "testing" and "reviewing". But this can be a cumbersome method. And even when paid (for the app), it's still difficult to distribute it outside Apple's or Android's market.
    More than a year ago (in the middle of the Flash-on-iOS debate) Adobe users, developers, bloggers, and evangelists heavily criticized Apple's "walled garden". Adobe literally stated "We Love Apple - What we don't love is anybody taking away your freedom to choose what you create, how you create it, and what you experience on the web." Well, you could say now: "I love Adobe, but what I don't love is Adobe taking away my freedom to own my files, and distribute them on my own terms." They let us create, but not spread our ideas. It's like giving you a typewriter and copier, that only works with Adobe stock paper. Like giving you a voice and an instrument, but only allowing you to sing and play in some walled gardens (dress code: Apple ID) or secluded shed (invitation only).
    I really wonder why they so fiercely protect 'their' Folio file. Why do they either have to be "under protection" or be turned into apps? I understand why Apple wants and needs to curate apps, but they don't mind me spreading my own ePubs, mp3 or jpegs. Why doesn't Adobe let me put my folio's on my own server, or send them off to someone with my own preferred service? The Content Viewer could easily be an Acrobat-like reader and let the iPad open folio's (by web links or mail enclosures) into it. If I see how many questions, worries, and problems creators and users have due to this whole closed technique and business, it would be easier to just let go and see what happens. Is it money? Of course it is. But my guess is that Adobe would eventually benefit more from it.
    So I hope Adobe declares the Folio as an "open" standard soon, but they're definitely not in that stage. Maybe the specification of the file format just isn't ready yet. Maybe some managers need to remember again how to "Spread the Love"...

  • Possible to create medium res .pdf file with InDesign CS5?

    Hello,
    Can anyone tell me if there is a way to create a medium res .pdf file with InDesign CS5?
    I'm working with a client and have been sending him both high res and low res files of a catalog project. High res .pdf is 12.8MB and low res is 1.2MB. He is asking whether I can create something in between the two, say somewhere around 6 to 8 MB.
    Any insight would be much appreciated.
    Many thanks,
    Tania

    PDFs do not have a resolution. The graphics within do, however..
    Look at the downsampling settings and experiment until you get what you want.

  • Large PDFs from Indesign CS5 under Lion

    Has anyone noctived the incredibly large PDFs exported from Indesign CS5 under OS X 10.7 Lion?...
    When OS X 10. Snow Leopard all was great, though now I have noticed HUGE differences!!??
    crazy. example Indesign exported to pdf 106mb
    Print to file, then Distiller: 32mb
    BIG DIFFERENCE
    anyone else?
    thanks

    Ok lets forget the Distiller part of this story, sorry.
    My issue is that under Lion PDF's are WAY larger than in previous OS X (Snow Leopard etc)
    I don't have any Mac on Snow Leopard to now show a comparison only previous PDF's made before Lion was installed and they are signifcantly smaller.
    I just tested I think it is new documents made in Indesign CS5 in Lion.
    Testing a indd file previously made in Snow Leopard I exported a PDF it produced the same size PDF as in Snow Leopard, so now I am confused slightly hoping I am wrong. Then I exported that same .indd as a .idml opened and saved as .indd then exported as a PDF it is 150kb larger... small difference yes, though  ot enough to worry about, so I tried with previous larger files... only to have them create the satisfactory sized pdf.
    Ok, I am wondering if newly created documents are the issue?...
    Moving on I found then I found this..  http://www.creativepro.com/article/drop-20-pounds-indesign
    I have just done a space audit most of the file is the images, my only conclusion is that the images are containing meta data that is hogging?...

  • When dictating, can I insert punctuation with my voice or can it be done manually? If I say the word comma, will I get "," or will I get "comma" and is there a way to fix that?

    When dictating on Ipad, can I insert punctuation with my voice, as in if I say "comma" will I get "," or will the word "comma" appear? Can I manually insert punctuation as I'm dictating, such as: If you wouldn't mind, (tap on comma on pad), may I ask a question? (tap question mark on pad). OR, do I just say everything I have to say and then go back and punctuate by hand? Obviously, saying "comma" and getting "comma" is NOT going to help out my sentences!

    weird. When I do it, I have to spell out comma and period if I don't want the punctuation... I just tried the exact same phrase and got "As I said, please don't disturb me." Is there a setting under dictation that says something like "spell out punctuation"?

  • Will InCopy CS6 work with InDesign CS5.5?

    Hi folks - I need to use InDesign CS5.5 due to a customer's requirement. I need to use InCopy to delegate copy editing. Looks like the lowest version of InCopy I can get is InCopy CS6. Will InCopy CS6 play nice with InDesign CS5.5?
    Thanks in advance.

    bahhh
    Cheers for your reply though. Is there any way of getting InCopy CS5.5 these days?

  • InCopy CS4 ok with InDesign CS5.5?

    I work at a small newspaper using all Macs and CS4. The writers use InCopy as their word processor, and the designer links their IC files in her ID document. Sometimes an IC linked file will require further editing in IC, but they never use IC to open an ID document.
    We want to upgrade the designer and copy editors (who all use InDesign) to CS5.5. I'm wondering if we can squeeze another year out of the writers' PPC Macs, which will not run IC CS5.5, by having them stay on IC CS4. Having to upgrade 15 Macs will be pricy.
    I've seen several questions here about using InCopy CS5.5 with older versions of InDesign, but not the other way around. Can InCopy CS4 be used with InDesign CS5.5 in the workflow I have described?
    Related question: if InCopy CS5.5 opens an InCopy CS4 doocument, does that change the document so that it can't be opened in InCopy CS4 again? (in case we upgrade the writers incrementally).

    Just bite the bullet and upgrade everyone. Sometimes the cost for doing something is way less than it is for not doing something.

    CS5 is unsupported under Mavericks.
    Unfortunately, you’re pretty much on your own here.

  • How can I add "Edit with Photoshop CS5" to the Edit With options?

    How can I add "Edit with Photoshop CS5" to the Edit With options?

    I think it has something to do with the order in which the PSE and PS are installed on your machine.
    For me, I can see option for editing in photoshop both in edit menu and from the action bar. I probably had Photoshop installed on my system before PSE

  • InDesign CS5 for Mac crashes on opening file. Have replaced References and all other suggestions.

    I am having a problem with InDesign CS5 crashing when I try to open a file that formerly opened just fine. Even restored versions from Time Machine or that I had a backup saved on an external hard drive will not open. I recently had to reconstruct a 90 page magazine for the same reason. I heard that Extensis Suitcase might be causing the problem so I disabled the plug-in, but still can't get the file open. The file in question is full of tables and would be a nightmare to redo. I am running Snow Leopard. It will open briefly and tell me that fonts are missing, then crash.
    This is the first part of the crash report:

    I have already disabled the Extensis plug-in and am activating the fonts
    manually from within Extensis. It's the very latest version, Suitcase
    Fusion 3, and it warps my chops that it doesn't play nice with InDesign.
    I got rid of the Mindsteam grammar plug-in also and sent a tersely
    worded letter to the vendor. When you pay nearly $200 for a plug-in, you
    expect it to work. I don't have time for this aggravation! I truly
    appreciate the help I've gotten here. This has certainly discouraged me
    from using any third-party plug-ins. I was ready to go back to Quark
    Xpress. For the moment, everything is behaving.
