Can't use effects in InDesign in document with 3+ pages. Why??

Any time I try to increase the number of pages included in an InDesign file to 3+, none of the effects work. I've tried creating the effects (i.e. transparency) on an object in a 1-page document (which works fine) and then copying that object over to the 3+ page document. As soon as I do, the effects disappear.
Is this normal? Is there a limit to the number of pages to that you can have in a document if you want to include effects?

To answer Peter Spier's question, I don't believe I have any non-adobe plugins. I didn't add any myself, that I'm aware of.
Willi Adelberger, to answer your questions,
The imaging trouble seems to occur when I import images via File>Place. When that wasn't working, I tried opening the image up in Illustrator, and then copying it directly into InDesign, which worked better. I'm assuming this has something to do with raster pixels vs vector paths?
I believe I'm talking about raster pixels. When I increase the scale of the image in InDesign, I believe it's messing with the raster pixels, causing a loss of clarity. This might be due to an error on my part-how do you increase the scale of an image in InDesign using vector paths vs raster pixels?
And yes, the effects disappear on both objects in InDesign and both imported and copied images
Update on the effects: When I printed the document, the images showed up on the printed copy, even though they weren't reflected in the doc on my computer.
Further Update: Some time later, the effects showed up in the program. At the moment, the effects are still visible in the InDesign program, regardless of the page count, so it seems that the issue has resolved itself.  I have no idea why they suddenly started showing up.

  • Can i save a compatible InDesign CS2 document with CC?

    Hi, I need to save a document in InDesign CC created in InDesign CS2 and continue open it in CS2
    It is a way to do it?
    thanks

    Export to IDML from CC. Open the IDML in CS4 and then export to INX. Open the INX in CS3 and export that to INX again.
    If the layout is still recognizable it will be a miracle.

  • Pages? Can I open really old Claris Works documents with it? I don't want to spend $20 to find out.

    Pages? Can I open really old Claris Works documents with it? I don't want to spend $20 to find out. I saved a bunch of stuff back in 1996, and now i need to open it.

    Pages opens strictly word processing AppleWorks v6 files.
    The problem with ClarisWorks files were they could contain all sorts of objects from databases to spreadsheets, drawings and paint. the iWork suite is not that versatile.
    But you really have little choice as ClarisWorks and AppleWorks are both history. If you are going to switch, the sooner the better.
    Just keep in mind what Apple did to ClarisWorks/AppleWorks along with many other of their appliactions and technologies theywill ultimately do to Pages.

  • Can I use more than one iTunes account with my apple TV?

    Can I use more than one iTunes account with my apple TV?

    That depends what you mean. If you mean can you purchase from more than one iTunes account on the Apple TV, then the answer is no. If you mean can you stream from more than one iTunes library, which use different accounts, then the answer is yes, so long as they both use the same ID and password for homesharing.

  • Can I use iCloud to sync two devices with different apples Ids?

    Can I use iCloud to sync two devices with different apple ID's

    What do you mean by "apple ID"?  There's an ID you can use at the iTunes store to buy songs, apps, etc.  there's an ID you can use for your iCloud account - the two can be different or the same. So which service are you referring to when you talk about an apple ID?

    The with Back to my Mac service on you see your mac in the Shared column, hit Share Screen & your good - on ARD I don't see my remote Mac listed anywhere in that program.
    Thanks

    ARD, to the best of my knowledge, does not work via Back To My Mac. Certainly it's not an direct or obvious feature, though I can't say that there might not be a workaround I've not heard of.

    Yes, No problem at all.
    Want to give one to wife.do I need to open a new iTunes account for her?
    No - you can share the same iTunes account (my wife and I share the same account). But when you sync the iPads, just remember to select the correct content for her iPad and the correct content for your iPad.

  • Can i use an old eprint email account with a new printer?

    can i use an old eprint email account with a new printer?

    Hello arbazu,
    Unfortunately, when setting up a new/replacement printer, you wont be able to use the same email address, nor can it be transferred to another printer. Once an email is used, the email address itself is not able to be used for a certain period of time (which I believe is 6 months).
    However, by creating a new email address, but adding an 01 or 02 at the end, you can get something very similar to what you had previously.
    If I have helped in any way, just click the Kudos star on the left. Also, if your issue has been resolved, don't forget to select Accept as Solution

  • Time Machine: Can I use a smaller external hard drive with larger internal?

    Can I use a 250G external hard drive with and 500G unfilled internal drive with time machine? Or will time machine require I a 500G? I don't plan on filling the internal drive for a long time and don't want to buy a new external drive right now.

    Yes, but you are very likely to get in trouble very quickly.
    The problem is that TimeMachine saves multiple versions of any file modified, and if that file happens to be large, you can quickly fill up your TimeMachine drive such that it is throwing away older versions faster than you would desire.
    Also if your boot drive's storage usage gets even close to the 250GB external drive's capacity, TimeMachine is likely to stop working.
    If possible, I would suggest an external drive that is twice as large as your boot drive, or at least 1.5 times larger.
    I guess you could repartition your boot drive so it is smaller than your external disk so you would be less likely to use more space than could fit on the external.
    Personally, my opinion about backups is that much of my data is impossible to replace (family pictures, etc...), and spending money on backup hardware is a small price to pay for securing those memories. I also try to have it backup in more than one location in more than one way.

  • Can I use a solid state drive (SSD) with a G4 1 GHz powerbook? If so, how do I do it?

    Hi:
    Can I use a solid state drive (SSD) with a G4 1 GHz powerbook? If so, how do I do it? Thanks.
    fromx001

    fromx001 I believe you can use a SSD as internal drive, of course make sure to buy an ide/ata. There are all sorts of sizes up to 480 GB also in the ide/ata standard. You should however research carefully your purchase, as the performances of your SSD are going to have to rely on firmware "garbage collection", as the older operating systems haven't been written with SSD in mind.
    Mac Man JW: some people depend on Classic as a brody said, other people need a phone modem from time to time, other people use the laptop in harsh environments, and at -15C and below, LCD screens easily crack and break; NOT the powerbook which has hot air towards the screen (and it's a machine that heats quite a lot). My alu Powerbook 12", which was *not* treated with velvet gloves, only once had a cracked screen: a cleaning lady had stepped over it (!!!!) no joke. And in normal / light use today, it is still pretty decent and usable.

    You do have Firewire 800 and it seems plenty fast for most use. Easy to install and the cradles allow for multiple disks swapping or daisey chain for multiple cradles.

    Hello,
    You need to put the Tiger Install Disc in the 2011 iMac, boot the 2011 uMac into Target mode...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
    Boot the G4 holding the Option or alt key, hopefully the Install Disc in the 2011 iMac will show as a boot choice.
    We just want to use the 2011 iMac as a big expensive FW Optical drive, it cannot be installed osing the 2011 iMac itself.
