Changing Hyperlink Settings via JS

Hi there,
i have a bunch of InDesign CS3 documents where i need to change the zoom-setting for all hyperlinks.
how can i access the zoom-setting of all selected hyperlinks via javascript and set it to "fit to window".
i hope someone can point me to the right direction here.
cheers,
christian

yes, sorry. here we go:
doc = app.activeDocument;
var hyLinkPAGE=doc.hyperlinkPageDestinations;
for(var p=0; p < hyLinkPAGE.length; p++)
hyLinkPAGE[p].viewSetting=HyperlinkDestinationPageSetting.FIT_WINDOW;

WRT54G v8: Unable to change some settings via the browser interface

I have a WRT54G V8 router which I'm trying to set up as a wireless access point.
I purchased it some time ago and flashed the firmware to version 8.00.2. I see there
is a newer firmware version available, and I'm going to try flashing that to see if it
helps, but wanted to ask here first.
The problem is that when I connect to the router using a web browser, I can see
the administration pages, and even change most settings, but some settings
just snap back to their previous values.
For example, I go to Setup -> Advanced Routing, and change Operating Mode
from Gateway to Router. When I do, I see it changes to Router, then I see it
talking to the HTTP server, and then it changes back to Gateway.
This also happens in other areas, like trying to enable MAC address filtering -
it won't let me enable it, and the Security Mode setting (under Wireless -> Wireless
Security) - It won't let me select WPA2 Personal, among others.
Note that I've had this router for a while, but decided to change how it was configured
today, so I started by pressing and holding the reset button for >5sec to reset it to
factory defaults and went from there.
I'm assuming there must be some settings which are preventing these from taking,
but I can't imagine any setting which should prevent me from enabling the MAC
address filtering.
Just in case this matters, I have the router connected to my in-home network using
one of the 4 Ethernet ports, and don't have anything plugged into the Internet port.
Also, I have turned off the DHCP server, and assigned a static IP address to the
router. This is the IP I'm using to connect to the router's administrative pages via
a browser running on one of the other PCs on my in-home network.
The wireless access point is working, in that I can connect to my in-home network
with my wireless client (laptop).
Can anyone help me understand what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,

Thanks, Yes, I did reset the router. Just to clarify:
- I was having the problem where making changes to some settings would cause the settings to revert back to the original settings. In fact, the settings would switch back before I would have a chance to click on the Save Settings button. Clicking on the button after the settings changed back, of course, saved the original setting. For example, I would click on a drop-down control to change a setting, see the browser communicate with the HTTP server, then the drop-down would just snap back to the original value. It wouldn't allow me to change it to a different value.
- I reset the router, including holding the reset button for >5 seconds to force a full-reset. This didn't help.
- I attempted to update the firmware with the latest version for my router (yes, I double-checked that I had the correct version for my router/version). This failed with a strange message and required that I do another reset of the router.
It was after this failed attempt at the update that the problem went away. Now, I am able to change these particular settings and the changes stick.
At this point, I updated the firmware to the latest version and it worked. After this, I am still able to make all the necessary setting changes and the router is performing as I need.
Thanks for all the help,

"Unkown Error (-50)" when trying to change iPod settings via iTunes

Hello everyone.
I got an 5.5 iPod Video (30gb) for christmas and I can't update the name of the Ipod nor change the settings for music, TV shows, movies, podcasts, pictures or even reset it!
I can however sync music, tv shows, movies and pocasts (not pictures).
So I called Apple the other day and told them about my problem. The guy I was talking to told me that the only option avaible was to send the iPod to Apple and have them repair it. And so I did. It came back today with 1.2 update installed, instead of 1.2.1 which I used before I had the iPod sent for repair. The enclosed papers said that they (Apple) could not find any problems on the iPod itself and it's batterys and that "it met Apples specifications for acceptable performance, usablity and/or functionality."
Yeah well... It doesnt. I'm using a PC with Windows XP, Service Pack 2 and I have USB 2.0. I have the latest version of iTunes and I had the latest firmwire update for my Ipod (1.2.1) and it didn't work.
When I first plugged the iPod in today when it had version 1.2 installed it worked, but the next time I plugged it in.. well, it didnt work. So right now I'm using 1.2.
I've tried re-installing iTunes and restoring the iPod via both iTunes and on the iPod itself. Nothing works. Can someone here help me out?
Btw. I'm using an iPod dock.

Edit: I am able to change settings WHILE my library is beeing synced...

My itunes library when using my phone is in Japanese, and the currency is set to yen. I have changed the settings via the flag at the bottom of itunes on windows but its only changed on my windows itunes.

The currency on my itunes store when using my iPhone is in Japanese yen, the menu is in Japanese too. I have changed the country using the flag at the bottom of itunes for windows, I have synced my iphone and restarted it, but it still has not changed. I also cannot set up a payment method for itunes as it keeps asking for japanese bank details? Help!

Change firewall settings via terminal

hi,
I've got an old Powerbook that has a broken screen. Luckily I can access all my files and also ssh into the computer. Is it possible to open the firewall port 7001 via the command-line so I can use something like Desktop Transporter?
Thanks for any reply.
Gert
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Yes, of course. First question, though: why not take the firewall down altogether?
The thing is, ipfw uses sets of rules, and the order is significant, so it's not just adding a rule, it's where you add the rule. So, for example, if I see:
<pre>
$ sudo ipfw list
02000 allow ip from any to any via lo*
02010 deny ip from 127.0.0.0/8 to any in
02020 deny ip from any to 127.0.0.0/8 in
02030 deny ip from 224.0.0.0/3 to any in
02040 deny tcp from any to 224.0.0.0/3 in
02050 allow tcp from any to any out
02060 allow tcp from any to any established
02065 allow tcp from any to any frag
02070 allow tcp from any to any dst-port 22 in
02080 allow tcp from any to any dst-port 548 in
02090 allow tcp from any to any dst-port 427 in
02100 allow tcp from any to any dst-port 80 in
02110 allow tcp from any to any dst-port 427 in
02120 allow tcp from any to any dst-port 443 in
02130 allow tcp from any to any dst-port 21 in
02140 allow tcp from any to any dst-port 139 in
12190 deny tcp from any to any
65535 allow ip from any to any
</pre>
Obviously, you need to add your rule before the blanket deny rule, so enter:
$ sudo ipfw add 02150 allow tcp from any to any dst-port 7001 in
Or you could do a rule like:
$ sudo ipfw add 02005 allow ip from ME to any in
Where ME is your IP address (or MAC yo:ur:ma:ca:dd:re:ss) to allow all access from your computer. Unwise because both are easily spoofed, but you can delete it as soon as you're done:
$sudo ipfw delete 02005

Changing DNS settings via /usr/libexec/changeDirData.pl

I am trying to correct a DNS problem on my Snow leopard server install and was instructed by an Apple engineer to use /usr/libexec/changeDirData.pl to globally search and replace on the system to change all instances of the DNS name.
I checkout the man page for changedirdata and it seems pretty straightforward. However, when I try to run it I get the following error:
sudo sh /usr/libexec/changeDirData.pl -i -s <MY SERVER IP> -u diradmin -o <OLD DNS NAME> -n <NEW DNS NAME>
/usr/libexec/changeDirData.pl: line 3: use: command not found

/usr/libexec/changeDirData.pl: line 5: syntax error near unexpected token `('
/usr/libexec/changeDirData.pl: line 5: `use Net::LDAP::Constant qw( LDAPCONTROLPAGED );'
Is there something up with Perl here?

it's a perl file, and should be an executable.
get rid of the sh
run it like this
sudo /usr/libexec/changeDirData.pl -i -s <MY SERVER IP> -u diradmin -o <OLD DNS NAME> -n <NEW DNS NAME>

Change language settings via URL in CRM ISA B2C

Hi experts,
I have external product catalog, and I use the following format of URL to access ISA B2C in English:
http://<server>:<port>/b2c/display/(xcm=B2C_B2CCRMSTANDARD&cpgsize=5&layout=5.1-6_1_56_58_5_8_2&uiarea=2&carea=4B6F49098864241BE10000000ABF0F17&cpgnum=1)/.do?rf=y
Now I need to access the Spanish version of the site. I know I can do it via this URL, http://<server>:<port>/b2c/b2c/init.do?language=es. However, instead of going to init.do, is there a way to use the format of the first URL and in Spanish flavor? It does not work if I simply append &language=es after the first URL.
Appreciated if giving out step by step guide. Thanks.

Changing camera settings

Hi experts
For my special application I want to change some camera
specific settings for example exposure time, gain and also some
video settings like contrast, brightness and ... I want to use
flash media server and flash media encoder, but I don't know how I
can change the settings mentioned ( I know that the above can be
easily controlled via DirectShow, but I don't like to use it). I
have spent lot of time for finding the answer but find almost
nothing. May you please help me? Even if changing camera settings
via FMS and FME is not possible, may you please tell me how to
change them via another program and still capturing via FMS and
FME?
Thank you

Pardon the pun, but there's something wrong with this picture.
Photos from iPhone 4s, as was said by others, should have more than sufficient resolution for a simple printed album, if you're using the rear camera and you're importing them at full resolution into iPhoto. Is that what you're doing?
What size are the photos in the album - no double-page spreads?
When you check the problem photos in iPhoto, what does it say about it's resolution, file size?

Change hyperlink display option settings

Hello,
I'm using Robohelp HTML 9. We have just decided that all our hyperlinks to pdfs need to open in a new window. However, previously this was not a standard, so not all of our hyperlinks open in a new window.
Is there a way to change the default settings for display options of all hyperlinks within a project to "New Window."?
I know the slow method is to go through each topic, and change hyperlink properties for each and every external link.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Tas

Yes unless you have a developer who can write a regular expression to do it. If you do, back up first.

Set Word 2013 Track Changes settings via Registry edits or Group Policy?

Hi
Would anyone know if there is a way of changing Track Changes settings via registry edits or Group Policy (e.g. changing Simple Markup All Markup)? I've had a look in Group Policy Admin Templates and the Registry but cant see relevant
Thanks!

Hi,
The All Markup/Simple Markup selection is controlled by the RevModeShowSimpleMarkup value within the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Word\Options
The value is 0 (zero) for All Markup or 1 (one) for Simple Markup.
If we close all Word instances, and change the value to 1, then start Word, the All Markup option should be selected.
In addition, some track change settings can also be controlled by the GPO settings in the following location:
Administrative Templates > Microsoft Word 2013 > Word Options > Track changes and compare
If you still need further assistance on this issue, please feel free to let me know.

How To Change Hyperlinks And Nav Menu Colors

I continue to see people stating that it's impossible to change hyperlink colors and navigation menu colors until after you publish your site. This is not true. It's quite easy to update your templates with the colors YOU want and when you update the template, you never have to mess with any post-processing. You make a new page? Your colors are already there.
I've gone over this before in this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3288533&#3288533
But I'll go over the quick and dirty version here as well. Those who want more detail can post a question and I'll elaborate.
First, do you know how to get into iWeb's inner folders? You right click or control click on your iWeb icon and select Show Package Contents from the pop-up menu.
Step 2
Once you've done that, you'll see a new Finder window that shows a folder called Contents. Open that and then open the next folder Resources. Within Resources there's a folder named Shared. Open the Shared folder.
You're now looking at your collection of iWeb template files. You'll notice that each template has seven individual page files - each file defines the layout and styles for the page for which its named. This is actually one of the two places where you'll find the data/images that make up your iWeb pages. This location only contains the images. Now I'll show you were to find the data file.
So you're currently here:
/Applications/iWeb/Contents/Resources/Shared/
You want to go here:
/Applications/iWeb/Contents/Resources/English.lproj
Now if you speak another language and your Mac's system language is set to the language you speak, substitue English with that language. If your system is set to English regardless of the language you speak, and you use the English templates, then stick with the English folder.
When you're in the English.lproj folder, you will see seven sub-folders and one file named TemplatesInfo.plist. TemplatesInfo.plist is the file that registers the templates and tells iWeb what you've got in your collection. But we don't care about that file for now. We're after the template data files.
The seven sub-folders are aptly named for each of the seven page-types as you can see. Open the About Me folder.
Now you will see an "about me.webtemplate" file for every template you have in your collection. Good job. You've learned something new. Move on to Step 3.
Step 3
If you haven't decided yet, now's the time to decide which template you'd like to update. If you're just along for the ride to learn something new, no worries. We won't do anything you can't undo.
Pick a template file now. Perhaps you chose the White template, or:
White About Me.webtemplate
Right click or control click on this file and select Show Package Contents from the pop-up menu. This will launch a new Finder window that displays the contents of the White About Me.webtemplate file.
You will likely see a handful of different files, but the file you want is the one named Index.xml.gz.
Index.xml.gz is the brain behind the template. Within this file are all the settings for the page you chose and it's really not hard to find what you want and change it. So let's take a peek.
Step 4
Double-click the file Index.xml.gz. This will reveal a new file named Index.xml. You might have to scroll down in your Finder window to see it. Rename Index.xml.gz to Index.xml.gz.backup in case you screw things up, you have your original.
Now, open Index.xml with TextEdit. Do not open the file with a code editor unless you have already formatted the file.
When the file opens, you'll notice it's one gigantic jumbled mess of stuff. No worries, we'll straighten that out. All you need to do is a find/replace.
Find all instances of: ><
And replace with:
<
The line break is important so maybe just copy the lines right out of this post. When you replace all of those, the file will be far more easy to view.
Assuming you've completed that step. You're basically ready to make your change and test it out! Not hard ey?
So let's say you want to change your hyperlink color from grey to blue. Search for this string:
BLDefaultHyperlinkCharacterStyleIdentifier0
When you find that string, you will see a few lines below it, two lines that look similar to this:
<sf:fontColor>
<sf:color xsi:type="sfa:calibrated-rgb-color-type" sfa:r=".8" sfa:g="1" sfa:b="0.4" sfa:a="1"/>
This is how the template specifies color. It's RGB100. Your Mac came with a program called Art Director's Took Kit and that application can tell you the RGB100 values for any color you want. Tinker with that and you'll have a lot of fun with this.
So I picked out a nice royal blue for you. The RGB100 values for it are:
R:0 G:25 B:100
What you need to do is update the color line to match those values:
<sf:color xsi:type="sfa:calibrated-rgb-color-type" sfa:r="0" sfa:g=".25" sfa:b="1" sfa:a="1"/>
Notice that you specify these in terms of a percentage, where 25 became .25 and 100 became 1.
Step 5
Save your file. It's time to see your work in action. Open iWeb if it isn't open already and create a new page using the template you've just altered. If you altered the White About Me page, then select that and create the new page.
It there are hyperlinks already on this page, you should already see that they reflect your new color. If there aren't any hyperlinks, then type some text and create one. You should see your new link color right away!
Now if you don't see the new color, either you picked the wrong page or you neglected to rename the Index.xml.gz file a few steps back. If you did not rename that file, then it's still in control of your template. Rename it now and try again.
If you don't like that color, simply swap back to the TextEdit page and change it until you like it - switching back and forth between the file and iWeb to view your changes. Once you're happy, make note of the color you chose and make the change for the remaining six pages in the tempalte you selected. Just be sure to follow the steps for each page you edit. If you fail to see your change, again, check to see that you renamed Index.xml.gz.
Side Notes
For the more technical, rather than editing an existing template, you might want to duplicate and rename a template. This essentially creates a brand new one. If you're pretty good within Finder then go for it, just be sure that you duplicate the files in both locations:
/Applications/iWeb/Contents/Resources/Shared/
/Applications/iWeb/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/...
Choose a unique name for the duplicated template and change every single file so that the new name replaces the old one. You would have to register this new template in the TemplatesInfo.plist file as well, but I'm not going to get into that here.
The thread I referenced at the top has all kinds of search terms to find the other hyperlink styles (rollover and visited) and all the navigation menu styles plus a bunch of other fun stuff.
Now, it seems long, but that's because I wrote it well. The shortest version of this I've ever written was two sentences, but that was for a UNIX geek and he got it. It's just as easy for you, but I write it out so that anyone can do this, because anyone can. It's just not hard.
If you have questions about any of the steps, go ahead and ask.

Good. Okay here's how to apply a background color to your nav bar buttons. For example, my Aerolite template sets the selected page to a black background color. The rollover effect uses a gradient fill. I'll describe both of those here.
First, here are the navigation menu search terms:
navbaritem-style-normal-default
navbaritem-style-rollover-default
navbaritem-style-selected-default
navbar-pargraph
The first three set the button effects and text colors. The last one there sets the font, font size and other paragraph styles.
To change the selected page button background color, or gradient or image, first search for it using the search term above. Start from the top of the file because there are two instances of those terms, one where you can set the values, the other is only reference to the first and does not allow you to change settings.
When you find the search term, you might want to insert an empty line above it to help separate it from the rest of the code. You can also insert an empty line below the section. The end of this style ends with:
</sf:navbar-item-style>
Be careful not to mix that up with </sf:navbaritem-character-style>
Now, within this section, you'll find all kinds of settings... stroke, fill, character styles, etc. Notice you can change font color in there. But for this demo, you want to find the section that looks like this:
<sf:fill>
<sf:null/>
</sf:fill>
I'm assuming you're editing an Apple template that does not already have a fill effect. If it does have one, then your example might not look exactly like that.
To apply a color fill, change those three lines to these lines:
<sf:fill>
<sf:color xsi:type="sfa:calibrated-rgb-color-type" sfa:r="0" sfa:g="0" sfa:b="0" sfa:a="1"/>
</sf:fill>
You can see that we've inserted the line that specifies color - something you should be familiar with by now. Here you can specify the color that will become the background of your nav bar button. This example specifies black. Easy no?
If you would prefer a gradient fill, then replace those three lines with this:
<sf:fill>
<sf:angle-gradient sfa:ID="SFRAngleGradient-1111" sf:opacity="1" sf:type="linear" sf:angle="0">
<sf:stops sfa:ID="NSMutableArray-1111">
<sf:gradient-stop sfa:ID="SFRGradientStop-1111" sf:fraction="0">
<sf:color xsi:type="sfa:calibrated-rgb-color-type" sfa:r="0.40" sfa:g="0.40" sfa:b="0.30" sfa:a="1"/>
</sf:gradient-stop>
<sf:gradient-stop sfa:ID="SFRGradientStop-2222" sf:fraction="1">
<sf:color xsi:type="sfa:calibrated-rgb-color-type" sfa:r="0.64" sfa:g="0.66" sfa:b="0.54" sfa:a="1"/>
</sf:gradient-stop>
</sf:stops>
</sf:angle-gradient>
</sf:fill>
Now, don't panic Here's what this is. The first line allows you to specify the angle of your gradient. Play with the numbers from 0 to 359 until you have what makes sense for your design.
Then, you will see two familiar lines again - the lines that allow you to specify color! The first line is the first color of your gradient and the second color is the second color of your gradient. That's all there is to it!
SECRET: It might be possible to add additional colors, not just two. Do you see the part sf:fraction="0" and sf:fraction="1"? These are gradient stops. I'm willing to bet that if you inserted a thrid gradient stop with a fraction setting of .5, you'd have a three-color gradient!
<sf:gradient-stop sfa:ID="SFRGradientStop-3333" sf:fraction=".5">
<sf:color xsi:type="sfa:calibrated-rgb-color-type" sfa:r="0" sfa:g="0.25" sfa:b="4" sfa:a="1"/>
</sf:gradient-stop>
I have never tried this - it just occurred to me as I was looking at this code. Big prize for the first person to prove the theory
NOTE: You will notice that the number 1111 and 2222 are within this code. iWeb XML relies on identification tags here and there. It's nothing you really have to care about except if you insert gradient fills in more than one area. Those numbers need to be unique so if you paste that code in for your selected page button and then paste it again for your rollover buttons, you'll need to update the numbers for the second button. Any numbers are fine. Use 3333 and 4444 for the second set, 5555 and 6666 for the thrid and so on. I often just type 4345781476 - doesn't matter.
Next lesson will be images.

How to change power settings?

My G series Windows 8, 64-bit laptop keeps going to sleep after about 2 minutes while plugged in. I changed the power settings via Windows 8 (by personalizing desktop and / or clicking on battery). But it still keeps happening. Is there another setting I need to change specific to Lenovo? It's annoying as all get out, and frankly a little ridiclous I need to waste time tracking this down.
Thank you.

There are a couple of free utilities that purport to intercept the power key, but neither of them work for me with Mavericks and a 15" Retina MacBook Pro:
PowerKey
PowerBlock – I thought it might work with Mavericks contrary to what the site says because someone posted in another forum implying that it works with Mavericks.
AFAIK, Keyboard System Preferences cannot change the keyboard shortcut for the power key.
It'd be great if Apple gave us a way to prevent accidental Sleep, which can be a killer when doing something mission critical. I'm pondering removing the physical key altogether…

Airport express 2012 and Netgear DGN1000 how do I change the settings

Hi.
I've recently got fibre Internet from BT and ditched the home hub in favour of the new Airport Express station due to home hub not supporting AirPlay.
So current setting is fibre modem to AExp and the AE provides e dual band wifi. However I found I needed more Ethernet ports.
I had an old Netgear DGN 1000 that I wanted to link via the Ethernet of AE to Netgear. I'm no network expert so I plugged in and tried changing some settings in the Netgear but to no avail. My AE is set up to allow network to extended.
So the new network i have consists of fibre modem cabled to AE cabled to Netgear. Due to me making too many changes to the netgear i had to do a hard reset using the pin hole on the bottom.
What I saw next really confused me. As the Netgear rebooted from the hard reset it connected straight to the AE and started acting as the switch I wanted it to. Both wired for PS3 and sky box and wireless. It all worked really fast.
My question is, was that supposed to happen and how do I see the Netgear router on the network as ideally I would like to go into router settings and turn off wifi.
Before when i typed 192.168.0.1 into a web page I could access the netgear settings but that no longer works.
When devices connect either wired or wless through the Netgear they get their ip from the apple unit.
It is as if the Netgear is there acting as a switch providing LAN and WLAN access but it can't be seen whilst using the airport utility. Ideally I would like to turn the wifi off on the Netgear box.
Any thoughts or pointers welcome.
Thanks.

Thanks that's helpful.
So it seems the router has automatically put itself in bridge mode when I did the hard reset. I didn't put it in bridge mode it configured itself. This is what confused me as I know little about networks.
So I think I need to hard reset the netgear router whilst disconnected from the apple network.
Go to the netgear config page and turn off wireless, hook back up to Airport and then try and manually put in bridge mode and hope!
Unfortunately every time I do a hard reset it would turn the wless on.

Photoshop CS6 freezes with attempts to change printer settings

(This problem also occurs with InDesign CS6, so I will post to that forum as well. First one to give me a solution gets my undying love and devotion appreciation.)
My employer acquired a Canon 6010 printer with a Fiery print controller last year. I have no problems printing from my personal Windows laptop.
However, from my employer's iMac (OS X 10.6.8) I get the spinning beach ball of death at least 90% of the time that I open an existing document and attempt to change the printer settings. The only way out is via Force Quit. Inexplicably I can occasionally succeed in changing printer settings. I think the record was having to force quit the application 11 times. Not sure - I quit counting.
So far our only semi-consistent work around: create a new document and copy and paste the contents from the existing document. Not cool. But sometimes the app freezes with brand new documents, thus destroying my work around anyway.
Additional Information:
I have installed all CS6 upgrades.
Our technical support contractor recreated the problem and could not find any solution other than the work around.
Canon says the problem is with the applications.
This happens whether I attempt to change the printer settings immediately or make changes to the document first.
It does not matter what other applications are running.
Rebooting the system after the app freezes does not make it work.
We cannot upgrade past 10.6.8 because of the age of the hardware. But CS6 is supposed to run on Snow Leopard.
I have tested this with other applications, including some older Adobe software. It does not happen with Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, InDesign CS3, Photoshop CS3, Acrobat 8 Pro, Acrobat 9 Pro or Acrobat XI Pro.
This happens whether the documents were created and saved on the Mac or on a Windows computer.
Re-saving the documents and/or printer settings does not change the outcome. Once I restart the application Photoshop may remember the paper size, but doesn't remember duplex settings. (From another thread in this forum I suspect a corrupt printer preferences file.)
Per the instructions in the other thread I reset the printing preferences by launching the app while holding down shift-control-command. That enabled me to change the printer settings one time. Every subsequent attempt brought back the spinning beach ball.
No other employees report similar problems (including a few MacBook users). However, they do not use Photoshop or InDesign, nor do they typically change printer settings.
Sorry if some of that is irrelevant - just trying to give you as much info as possible and tell you what I've tried already. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Nanneri, my situation is similar in that creating the PDF and printing from that does take longer than just printing from InDesign and Photoshop.
I finally got a Canon tech rep on site who understood my problem. Though we had tried reinstalling the drivers (as had previous Canon reps), this guy got it right. Neither Photoshop nor InDesign has locked up since - at least not for the Canon 6010. (Photoshop has locked up twice when I've attempted to print to a Canon iPF8300s wideformat that isn't on the Fiery. Restarting PS has fixed that.)
Based on my experience, I would start with new drivers.
FYI: I am having problems printing to a new Canon C7065 that also uses Fiery. But the problems vary and I haven't isolated the factors. Sometimes I get a printed error report. Sometimes it just doesn't print. But no more software lockups.
In our case, I suspected our problems were related to having old hardware that can't be upgraded past OS X 10.6.8, which is the oldest OS compatible with both CS6 and the Fiery. But since you are on a newer OS, and a different printer, I'm beginning to wonder about the Fiery.
Hope you find a solution soon. Keep us posted!
