Can't print from InDesign CS5 under Mountain Lion

After installing MacOS 10.8 InDesign crashes when I try to open the printer configuration in the printing menu. Acrobat crashes immediately when I want to open the print menu. Photoshop prints fine and PDF export in ID also works as well as printing without changing the former printing settings.
In an older discussion I found the hint to delete some language folders in the PPD ressources folder to solve the same problem in CS3 and 4 with Lion. I tried that to but it won't work.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance

as well as printing without changing the former printing settings.
If changing the print settings crashes ID I wonder if you need to delete and reinstall your printers? Testing CS3 I wasn't able to even open the Print dialog without crashing, so deleteing the foriegn language PPDs worked
By default Mountain Lion hides the user Library (you can't see user/Library/Printers). You can get to it via Go>Go to Folder and typing ~/Library

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?...

Running OS 10.6.8 on a 3.06 GHz Intel Core i3 Mac can I upgrade from Indesign CS5 to CS6?

Running OS 10.6.8 on a 3.06 GHz Intel Core i3 Mac can I upgrade from Indesign CS5 to CS6?

They do, but what happens when the client(s) move to CC? Of course doing
so opens a new can of worms for you since 10.6.8 is unsupported for
anything later than CS6.
You should start budgeting for some upgrades sooner rather than later.

Can't print from PS CS5 (CS5 switches to Preview)

When trying to print a photo in PhotoShop CS5, I select the right printer (Epson Stylus Photo 280), and then "Print." But instead of printing the photo, CS5 switches to Apple's "Preview." I can then print the photo from Preview, but I have never had this problem with PS8. How can I set CS5 so when I want to print a photo it won't switch to another application?
I can always reinstall PS8 and use it to print my photos, but there has to be a way fro CS5 to do what I want it to do. Any ideas?

The reason you are seeing this problem is that you are probably using a device independent profile, such as Adobe RgB foe the printer to fllow when you want the one set for say SP R1900 Premium Glossy if that is the paper you are using.
It is ok to use Adobe RGB for the image profile but when that is assed to the printer driver it has to be then assigned to the paper and devices profile.
Then in the print settings under color matching
Then under print settings
You should now be cooking with gas.
If yu have a different paper go to the manufacturers web site and see if they have a profile for your paper and printer.

Can't connect from mavericks (MBP) to mountain lion (MacPro) via Wifi

i am trying to google for answers to this and i just come up with answers about connections to printers or hdmi or TV's etcetera.
the problem is that i can connect to my laptop (macbook pro) from my desktop (mac pro) but i can't connect from my laptop (MBP) to my desktop (mac pro). i used to be able to do this but for some reason all i see if "Share Screen" or "Disconnect" and my iCloud Account is listed as "Connected As" but there is no data shown in Finder.
does anyone know what search terms i can google for or if there is a Settings section that i should be checking?
i tried dragging the Mac Pro icon out of the Shared section and i tried hitting disconnect as well as restarting both machines and turning off wifi on the laptop (hmmm. maybe i will shut both down at the same time...?) and so far no solutions.
right now i have to go to the desktop to move files around and this is a major pain.
i can see the network and i can print...
THANKS for any help

hi. thank you. this is really aggravating. i am checking the mac pro this morning (it is the one i cannot access from my laptop) and attached is the screenshot. does this look OK?
also, i am starting to wonder is it possible that the "Computer Name" has changed itself on the network or is it possible that i have some control over /naming/ the computer? it seems to often be named "MyName Mac Pro (2)" which always bothers me since there is no 1 Mac Pro and i would like to get rid of the appended 2.
but ALSO i don't recall ever having changed anything in system preferences so i am wondering if somehow the computer renamed itself or something weird has happened.
finally, is it possible something is amiss with the fact that FINDER says it is connected via my icloud EMAIL account at the top of the Finder window on my Laptop whereas when i check just now on the desktop it shows that i am connnected as the SHORT NAME of my LAPTOP. i mean, when i connec tto the laptop from the desktop it shows me connected as the short name of the laptop but when i connect to the desktop as the laptop - it says i am connnected as the name of my ICLOUD ACCOUNT and i am thinking it should say i am connected as the name of my MAC PRO SHORT NAME.
you know what i mean? is there a place in the LAPTOP to check where i input what name and password i am connecting to the Mac Pro under...
THANK YOU

HT3500 Problem printing from MacBook Air with Mountain Lion to HP Photosmart Premium C310a Printer

My HP Photosmart Premium C310a printer used to work fine with my MacBook Pro printer running Lion. I bought a new MacBook Air that comes of course with Mountain Lion. I added a new printer from the System Preferences. The printer will print sometimes. Sometimes the printer just restarts itself and then will print. I used to have an excellent HP Scan Utitlity. That is now gone and it is really hard to scan anything. I am beginning to think it is time to get rid of the HP Printer and buy another one that fully supports Mountain Lion. Can anyone help me here?

Hi - if you haven't done this already, HP support lists several download options including software for OS X for your printer - I would try that route since what comes with Mountain Lion doesn't seem to work - let me know how you make out

I can't upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion

I have a Mac Pro (1.1.1) running Snow Leopard (Mac OS X10.6.8.) I want to buy and upgrade to Mountain Lion. I've followed the instructions on Apples webpage http://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade/ and have (I thought) met all the criteria to upgrade. However, when I go to the app store and attempt to purchase Mountain Lion, I get the message:
We could not complete your purchase. OS X Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer.
Where do I go from here?

Can't boot from recovery partition in Mountain Lion

I've installed Mountain Lion on two different boxes so far: a 20" iMac at home and a Mac Mini at work. Both had up to date Lion installations prior to the upgrade. After installing Mountain Lion I am not able to boot in to the recovery partition on either one. Whether I hold down Command-R to go directly to the recovery parittion, or simply hold down Option to get a choice of boot devices, I am taken directly to the login screen.
The recovery partition is there on both boxes, and I can mount it and examine it using 'diskutil' from the command line. I created a USB image of the recovery partition on the iMac, and the Startup Disk control panel allowed be to select it as a boot device, but the box (both boxes, actually; I also tried it on the Mini) booted directly to the login screen.
I honestly don't know whether I could boot to the recovery partition prior to upgrading to Mountatin Lion or not. When I first installed Lion on the iMac I did not get a recovery paritition, but Apple sent me a USB drive and after cleaning up the disk (getting rid of an unused Boot Camp partition) I was able to get a clean install with a functioning recovery paritition. However I never booted from it after confirming that it worked.
Anyone else see anything like this? Or have an idea how to fix it?
- Larry

Ok but you can get the Option key to work.
There is a utility to Rebuild the recovery HD partition.
Look here first.
Removing and rebuilding a malfunctioning Recovery HD partition « Der Flounder
Then in that article a link to download or find the Recovery HD utility on the Apple website.
But that was originally for Lion. So you may have to rebuild the Lion R-HD then Reinstall Mt Lion over the top of your current install of Mt Lion for it to make the Mt Lion R-HD.
Depending on the age of your Mac's you may also be able to use the Online (Internet) Recovery HD system. To get to that with a R-HD partition on the system, even if that R-HD partition sin't working, you hold down Command+Option+r keys when starting the system (And yes with the USB keyboard attached).

Magenta cast when printing from any app in Mountain Lion

I get a serious magenta cast when printing from any application using my Epson R3000 inkjet. I am aware of the double profile issue. For example in Photoshop I let it do the color management. ML automatically turns off printer color management. My monitor is calibrated with Xrite Color Munki. I did not have this issue before upgrading to ML 8.2. Is there a driver issue?

In System Preferences->Monitors->color is the correct
color profile set?
Do you you have the correct profile for the printer
selected in Photoshop?
Also, are you using Proof Setup in Views?
Need to ask since sometimes a person can stare at
something too long and think it is correct (done it myself often).
It may not be a driver but an issue with color profiles.
It is possible one or more of the color profiles may be corrupted.
Go to Utilities->ColorSync Utility select and run Profile First Aid.
See if problems found in profiles.
Using PS CS6 myself and have not seen any such issues with
color and 10.8.2.

Can I upgrade from snow leopard to mountain lion without losing my data?

Have finished an upgrade to snow leopard without losing any data on each of 9 MacBook Pros so far. (Have 9 more to go) Can I do the mountain lion upgrade on them without losing data or must I back up the detritus of 4 years use by teachers who despite all pleas have never backed up their documents? Would appreciate a swift reply as everyone wants their mbp's back in their hands on Monday morning. My thanks in advance to any gurus who care to reply as my local gurus seem to have fled the ashram for the weekend.

Installing a new version of OS X should not lead to any data loss. Of course, it's best to have a backup if anything 'goes wrong' but simply isntalling the new OS shouldn't damage any data.

Problems deleting mail from apple mail under mountain lion

I'm a little baffled by the way that the DELETE function works on Mail in Mountain Lion. When I delete a mail from "All Inboxes" it appears to remain in the individual inbox. I have GMAIL and Mac.com mail being gathered into apple mail. I should note that I have GMAIL pulling apple mail into GMAIL, but it's supposed to delete it from Mac.com once the mail is pulled into GMAIL.
Any ideas?

I am suddenly having the same issue in mac mail. Giving me an error message "email name cannot be moved to the mailbox null" "Destination mailbox null does not allow messages to be moved to it" I have no idea what mailbox "null" is. This just started happening a day ago... Any suggestions?

Can't print to Ricoh 3228c since Mountain lion upgrade

I am new to Mac. I have an office network Ricoh 3228c printer that I am unable to print to since the Mountain Liion upgrade.

I don't know about your Preview problem and I am interested to see responses about it.
When you say no iPhoto in Finder. Do you mean iPhoto is not listed in the Applications folder? If you do a Finder search on iPhoto is it found. Mine is in "Bobs HD>Applications

Can only print from certain programs. Started suddenly.

Everything was working just fine and then suddenly I can only print from InDesign and Word. And when I print from InDesign I can't change any settings in the "print" dialog box or the program freezes and crashes. When I try to print from firefox, photoshop, illustrator among others, it freezes and crashes. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the print driver and restarting my computer numerous times and the problem persists. (Unless I am not doing it properly) I go into my printer settings and remove the printer then go back in and reinstall it.
Any thoughts or help is greatly appreciated as this is affecting my ability to do my job efficiently. Thanks so much.
