Can't open tool under dropdown menu in InDesign

I have several InDesign projects that were working fine yesterday. Today, I am unable to access the tool bar on any of them. There is no checkmark by the tool category in the toolbox after I click on it. The toolbar opens in Adobe Illustrator. How do I trouble shoot this problem? I use CS2
Thank you.

Please post in the InDesign forum. This forum is for suite specific issues only.
And a screenshot would help. I have no clue what you're talking about.

Can't open nautilus from applications menu

I find that I can't open nautilus from applications menu any more.
In the terminal, it won't open nautilus when running 'nautilus' without specifying a location or --new-window option.
I've checked and tried to modify /usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop and /usr/share/applications/nautilus-classic.desktop, but it didn't work.
The values of Exec option in the two files are as follows:
/usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop: Exec=nautilus --new-window %U
/usr/share/applications/nautilus-classic.desktop: Exec=nautilus --no-default-window --force-desktop
Also, I have tried to reinstall nautilus. I didn't work, either.
Any one can help?

Are you using gnome classic session? Or have you enabled desktop icons?
Sounds like the nautilus-classic.desktop could be getting launched during gnome-session startup, which should happen in both of the cases above.
According to my testing, starting nautilus with 'nautilus --no-default-window --force-desktop' causes the exact behavior you're describing.
I'm using standard gnome without desktop icons, and I don't have any issues with nautilus, so disabling them would probably help, although that could be a drag if you really want desktop icons.
I still don't understand why the org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop wouldn't work though, since it has the --new-window flag. Apparently you can't even launch a new window via the right click menu item.
This could happen if gnome-shell recognizes the nautilus-classic.desktop as nautilus, and starts using it's .desktop file instead when you try to launch a new window.
If so you could probably fix this from the .desktop file somehow. I might be able to look into it later..
I'm also using standard gnome, and I have enabled desktop icons.
Disabling desktop icons makes it work.
Thanks!
I once tried to modify nautilus-classic.desktop to Exec=natilus --new-window, but it didn't help.

Can't open tools

I can't open tools in PTS. I have just downloaded PTS CC 2 days ago. I can choose only the tools that have icons on the toolbox. When I click these icons, there is no other following tools showing up. I'm using OS X Yosemite 10.10.3. I have uninstalled and downloaded CC several times. Then I downgraded to CS6 and it's still the same. Please kindly help me.

when I click the small arrow at each tool icon, other tools of the same kind will show up. But in my PTS, there is no tools show up when I click. I can only use the tools that have the icon on toolbox. When I press Keyboard Shortcut, it is the same.

Can not open pdf under my user id

Would like to know why I can not open a pdf file under my user id. Using the same computer, I change to my wifes user id and can open pdf files. I have to email my pdf files to her on the same computer to open them. I have reinstalled the latest ver of adobe reader many times and still can not figure it out.

Sorry, but I don't follow you. One does not need a user ID to open PDF files using the free Reader.

I can't open bookmarks from the menu in new tab on firefox 6.0 using the mouse middle button or right click. Is this normal?

I can't open my bookmarks from the menu in a new tab.
I'm wondering if this is simply not a feature and requires an add-on. I'd rather not need to use an add-on.
can anybody help?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Can't open TOOL GALLERIES Illustrator CC on second monitor

Hello,
I have a laptop and a second display (via HDMI). In Illustrator CC, trial version, I can't open the flyout menus(known also as the 'tool galleries').
I know how they work, but nothing seems to do the trick (click and hold, right click, click on the corner). When I drag Illustrator back on the laptop display, the functionality reappears, the flyout menus work, but I need to use the second monitor.
Is this a bug? How can I fix it?

Mac OS?
Are you using the application frame?
At the moment there's a mysterious issue with the panels.

Can't open apps with contextual menu, or dragging onto dock icon

I've recently reinstalled Tiger and updated successfully with the 10.4.11 combo installer.
I've discovered that when, for example, I use the contextual menu to open a jpeg with Photoshop CS, nothing happens. If I try to drag it onto the Photoshop icon in the dock, the app will open but the file won't.
Double clicking the file opens it in Preview (default), but I sometimes want to do more than view it in preview - I want to edit it in PS. I can only open it from within PS. Also, when using Iphoto, even when I select external editor it won't open in Photoshop.
This is a new quirk and I've never had the problem before. I'd appreciate any suggestions of how I can solve this. Many thanks, Karen

Before I start trashing things, just to play it safe ... what are the consequences/downside of getting rid of those folders?
Just move them to the Desktop incase we need for some unknown reasin to put them back.
Should I just move them out one by one to see if I can isolate the problem?
Yes, you could do that, but... I think some prefs help rebuilding other prefs if present.
I have created a new "test user" - I guess I should log out/log in to see if the problem is still there before doing any throwing away of prefs, right?
Yep!

Can't open tools photoshop

I have photoshop cs5 with bridge 4.05.11. All updates were run today. In bridge if I click on tools there is no photoshop button. I want to open multiple files as layers as is possible if I were to have the photoshop button. I run mac os X 10.7.2.
Can anyone help please?

I run mac os X 10.7.2.
Check the preferences in Bridge under Start Up scripts and see if the Photoshop start up script is in the list and has a checkmark in front of it. If it is there and not selected activate the checkmark, restart Bridge and try again.
If it is not present restart bridge holding down option key and choose reset preferences. After Bridge has started check if the start up script is present again, if so set prefs again to custom wishes if needed.
Also be aware that check and repair permissions of the OSX is also a good thing, especially before and after an update or new install.

Flash Video Under Dropdown Menu problem

I have been consistently affect by this problem for the last few days. I have a menu that needs to dropdown above the flash video. The problem is that the dropdown appears behind the flash and cannot be clicked. I have narrowed it down to some sort of implementation of the wmode="transparent" but this is not easy.
The code I got to work was
[CODE]
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" id="someID" width="632" height="220">
<param name="movie" value="http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/yhst-57905738662791/main.swf">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000"> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always">
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"> <param name="name" value="someValue">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/yhst-57905738662791/main.swf" width="632" height="220">

<img src="preview.gif" alt="Preview">
<p>Download the flash player</p>

<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always">
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true">
<param name="name" value="someValue">
</object>

</object>
[/CODE]
In internet explorer this code allows the flash file to be behind the menu. But not for Firefox (3.5) Unfortunately, when I add the required [CODE]<embed>[/CODE] tags to the object and make the flash video appear behind the firefox menu, the link in the video no longer works. Because there is a single link within the flash video we use.
PS. the code above was copied and tweak from a flash tutorial site. So I will not take the credit as my own.
My site is http://www.superbreakers.net
If you check out the site you'll see what I mean and what I need.

I solved the problem and posted the solution here.

Firefox hangs instantly on startup, tried restart/re-install/updated utilities/safemode. Can't open up the profile menu from terminal.

Pretty much what the question says, I've done everything the support guide says to no avail. Tried looking up solution, nothing has worked so far. Firefox hangs within 5-10 seconds of opening. Everything is up to date and safe mode hangs as well.
Anything I should try?

Try to completely uninstall firefox, that means to '''delete''' the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory#Windows Installation directory] located for your 64bit in C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\ , also, '''delete''' the C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox and '''if exist''', '''delete''' the C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox.
then download and install again a new full installer from : https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
disable firewall and antivirus and antispyware for a little bit, and run firefox. any luck ?
thank you

I can't open a file with all these InDesign Plugins...

Hello,
I was passed-off a CS3 InDesign file with a 20+ InDesign Plug-ins added to it and it says it won't open without the extensions. Is there any a way for me to open the file without finding all the plug-ins, downloading and adding them to my system?
Thank you!

Maybe I think it is CS3 and it's not. On my desktop it has the purple InDesign icon so I thought it meant that it was CS3. Thre are two alert boxes that pop up when I try to open the file. The first one says plug-ins are missing, do you want to open? I clicked OK. The next one says upgrade plug-ins to latest versions or latest version of INdesign.
Is there any way to open it? How do I know for sure what version it was created in? The Get Info box says it is an InDesign CS3 Document.
