Content viewer won't appear on desktop in CS6

In CS6, do you now have to create a Folio in order to preview content in the Desktop Content Viewer? In CS5.5 I clicked Preview at the bottom of the Overlay Creator Panel and it would come up on my desktop. In CS6, when I click Preview at the bottom of the Folio Overlay panel the Desktop Content Viewer does not appear on my desktop. I went to update my DPS tools again but it says they are all updated. And now when I save the file down to a CS5.5 version, I open it in 5.5 and the Desktop Content Viewer doesn't work there now either.

I am having the same issue in CS6 Indesign. I try to preview using the desktop viewer and nothing happens, it silently fails.
I have uninstalled Indesign CS6 (including preferences), Uninstalled adobe Air 3.3. Uninstalled the content viewer.
rebooted, reinstalled air rebooted, reinstalled Indesign CS6 rebooted...
And it still doesn't work!
I think it may be to do with AIR rather than InDesign because it goes through the progressbars in InDesign and I have previously a BETA version of AIR that caused an issue else where, even though this is now uninstalled and the latest release of AIR is installed it still is failing to comunicate with AIR.
Any ideas...
thanks Geoff

  • Desktop Content Viewer won't appear in InDesign CS6

    I also, based on another posts recomendation, installed earlier version of the tools, but this made no difference. I suspected it wouldnt as it installed to different version folders.
    Its really frustrating as it works fine on a co-workers PC running 64bit WIndows 7
    I now get this error if the folio is a new folio...
    I deleted my current folio and started again and when i try to preview i get this...

    Hi Everyone,
    I can see, for such a long time many people are facing this issue (Desktop Content Viewer won't appear in InDesign CS6)
    Friends here is the solution of this distinguished problem.
    Steps: [For Window XP]
    [Make sure your log-in has “Administration” rights]
    Open My Computer [Window Key + E].
    Open the Main Local Disk [C:].
    Click on “Search” tab above.
    Click on “All files and folders”.
    Write “AdobeContentViewer.air” in “All or part of the file name:” Box.
    Click on “Search” [Now you can see “AdobeContentViewer.air” file]
    Double click on “AdobeContentViewer.air” to install it.
    Select checkbox for “Desktop Shorcut”
    Once it installed, open “Adobe Content Viewer” from the desktop.
    Now close “Adobe Content Viewer”.
    Open Indesign Application and try to “Preview” your article/work from the “Folio Overlay Panel”
    I hope this will work for you.
    Guys please share your experience after performing the above.
    Cheers

  • Content Viewer won't update file on tablet

    Hello.  My content viewer on my Nexus 7 won't update all the way.  What I mean is, the app comes up fine, and I've refreshed/archived it several times.  The logo/picture in the content viewer next to the file updates, the viewer number updates, but the file itself is still showing the original version.
    Any ideas how I can fix this or what is going on?  I'm working on InDesign CS5.5 and just recently installed the Content Viewer on my Nexus 7.

    I am having the same issue in CS6 Indesign. I try to preview using the desktop viewer and nothing happens, it silently fails.

  • Content Viewer won't update the library

    Hey guys!
    Big trouble here.
    After I last updated an uploaded folio, the Content Viewer on the iPad out of the sudden was not recognizing any update on that folio anymore.
    So I deleted the folio from the iPad and updated the library. What happened? The folio wasn't even there to download anymore. And yes, it appears on the Folio Producer and it is active.
    It's quite a big folio (+100 mb) and I have even uploaded it again with another name and still the Viewer won't show it on the library.
    I have tried to upload smaller folios and it worked just fine.
    Have no idea what's the problem neither the solution.
    Anyone with the same problem?

    Problem resolved, with a bit of help from Adobe Support. It was Websense, our organizations web content filter. This is what I got from Adobe Support, which I sent to the IT guys.
    In order for the content viewer on the iPad to work and bypass the network, make sure this two Adobe domain/url is allowed through the network.

  • Thumb drive won't appear on desktop.

    On my iBookG4 running 10.4.11, my thumb drive won't appear on the desktop when I insert it in the USB port. How do I make it appear? This just happened, as yesterday, it appeared. Help!

    Those drives commonly come formatted for use with a PC. DU can't repair that format. Do you know what format yours has? You can try to erase/reformat it. If it Mac formatted right now and can't repair it then that may indicate the drive is truly history.

  • Hard Disk Won't Appear on Desktop

    Since upgrading to OS Lion, when I plug in my external hard drive (WD) it won't appear on the desktop at all. It does show up in Disk Utility and now says it is not mounted. I'm not sure what's going on here. I don't really want to have to reformat my drive as it has all my Time Machine backups on it.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    Click on the top left corner of you screen where it says finder and click on that and then scroll down to preference and click on it. Then in that screen you will be able to see where you can choose what icons you would like to see on your desktop.  

  • Adobe Content Viewer won't open

    I can't open the Adobe Content Viewer on the MAC I normally use. I get a message that says it is installed and that I am signed in. Why won't it open?

    Moved to DPS forum.
    Details please. What O/S? What version of ID?

  • My device won't appear on desktop of DataViz'z Documents to Go. Help?

    Anyone out there solved the "Device won't appear on 'Documents to Go' desktop" I've tried several times and DataViz Support basically sent me their trouble shooting document which I had already gone through and tried but no luck. They have wiped their hands of the issue and said Good luck.
    The problem is that I can't synch Documents to Go (ver. 1.1) on my iPod Touch (1st gen) with OS3.0 with the DTG desktop. My device won't appear on the desktop. I my desktop is a MacBook Pro 17" with latest OSX 5.7
    - I don't get any specific error messages; the device just doesn't show up in the DTG desktop window
    - my internet connection is fine and both apps are on the same WiFi network
    - my Firewall settings are set to "Allow all incoming connections"
    - also tried setting Firewall set to allowing just DTG
    - I successfully installed and ran the iPhone/iTouch app "Remote" (it shows up in iTunes
    This is weird. I've had pretty good luck syncing any and all iPod Touch apps with the Desktop, but not being able to do this one pretty much renders Documents to Go useless.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Jim

    I solved my own problem. The device was there all along. However on my iPod Touch I noticed I have no user name - - it is just a blank. So it appears in DTG desktop as a blank line which looks invisible to me, i.e. no device. But if I click on the blank line, there it is: a successful link and My DocsToGo.
    I discovered all this by syncing my wife's iPhone, which does have a visible name.
    Now I just have to figure out why my iPod Touch has no user name.
    Thanks

  • Won't appear on desktop/iTunes, but shows in System Profiler as connected

    Hope someone can help... I've been through all the steps. My Nano is connected, charging etc. But I've tried with two computers and although it shows up in the System Profiler as connected to my USB port, it will not show up on the desktop or in iTunes. I've tried resetting. The cable and ports are obviously fine because it IS connected. Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thank you!

    OK. For the record, the iPod is playing fine. I listened to it for over an hour yesterday. Still not being recognized by iTunes on any of my 3 computers, or showing up on the desktop. But system profiler shows it connected, and today I went to Disk Utility. This is what happened:
    +Apr 3 19:13:48: Disk Utility started.+
    +Verifying volume “Laurie’s iPodNano”+
    +Checking HFS Plus volume.+
    +Checking Extents Overflow file.+
    +Checking Catalog file.+
    +Invalid key length+
    +The volume Laurie’s iPodNano needs to be repaired.+
    +Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit+
    +Disk Utility stopped verifying “Laurie’s iPodNano” because the following error was encountered:+
    +The underlying task reported failure on exit+
    +1 HFS volume checked+
    + Volume needs repair+
    +Verify and Repair disk “Laurie’s iPodNano”+
    +Checking HFS Plus volume.+
    +Checking Extents Overflow file.+
    +Checking Catalog file.+
    +Invalid key length+
    +Volume check failed.+
    +Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit+
    +Disk Utility stopped repairing “Laurie’s iPodNano” because the following error was encountered:+
    +The underlying task reported failure on exit+
    +1 HFS volume checked+
    + 1 volume could not be repaired because of an error+
    So does anyone know what this means? It seems to me that I now have an iPod which will be fine for listening to the music already on it, but I won't be able to add or change anything on it. Which means I have to spring for another one. I only bought this one (refurbished, now I think I know why...) in 1/07.

  • Lacie D2 External Hard Drive suddenly won't appear on desktop or profiler??

    I started my Mac today- and my external firewire 500 gig LacieD2 did not appear on my desktop. I went to Disk Utilities, and it is not showing up. In the profiler- it is listed as Unknown Device? The blue light is continually flashing. I unplugged it- turned off my computer, waited, and reconnected it. Still nothing. Is this hard drive dead? I have essential information on it that I cannot loose.

    I hear it spinning- I think?
    That may not be so good because it suggests the power is getting to it and it is something else more critical to the functioning of the drive that is wrong. If it is the enclosure you could try moving it out of the enclosure into a different one, or into the computer.
    I just used Disk Warrior to rebuild the directory- no luck.
    Ah, so did Diskwarrior see the drive? I didn't think you could see the drive in Disk Utility.
    I also replaced the firewire Cable- no luck.
    Good try but the flashing blue light suggested something else to me.
    I'm now doing to bring it to a local Computer Store to try to retrieve the information.
    Try using an application such as [Data Rescue II|http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php] or [FileSalvage|http://subrosasoft.com/OSXSoftware/index.php?mainpage=product_info&productsid=1]. Both have free trial versions that let you see if the software will help before you decide to buy. You will also need a second hard drive equal to or larger in size than your first drive.
    I wrote to Lacie- but they are so slow in responding- it will be days.
    Ummmm....

  • 2g shuffle won't appear on desktop or int HD sidebar

    This 2g shuffle appears in iTunes but not on the desktop or when you open the HD. In fact, when you hook up the iPod it briefly appears on the desktop then disappears.
    It's running software 1.0.2 and iTunes is 7.2. It's a very new macbook. I tried restoring the iPod but same problem. Thoughts?

    Perfectly normal.
    Enable disk use in Settings...doing that will require you to Eject it in iTunes. It will then appear on the desktop (and in Finder).
    Also, be aware that you can also UNcheck "Open iTunes when this iPod is attached" which allows you to charge your shuffle

  • USB Key won't appear on desktop

    New mac user here.
    USB memory keys (regardless of the brand) will not show up when popped into the slot, on the desktop.
    I have reformated them using disk-utility as "ms-dos" format.
    I am able to see them when I reboot, but what a pain in the *** - reboot each time just to see what's on there?
    I've tried disk utility - it recognizes the key there but not on the desktop and I can't access the contents, therefore.
    Help!?

    Finder > Preferences > General > check the four boxes under "Show these items on the desktop."

  • IPod won't appear on desktop

    When I plug in my iPod, it doesn't appear on the desktop. How can I find it?
    Thanks,
    Joanne

    To enable disc mode, open itunes, connect your iPod, it should show itself in the source pane and open up it's own page with a picture of itself at the top. The page is divided into three sections; iPod, Version and Options. In the Options section check the box that says "enable disc use" Your iPod will now appear as icon on the desktop. You will need to eject it manually each time though, either in iTunes or by dragging it to the trash.
    If your iPod isn't even appearing in iTunes you may need to do a reset.

  • SxS card won't appear on desktop

    I have a number of 17" MacBook Pros and can use SxS cards to import XDCAM video on one of them. The installed software on the one that works is XDCAM Transfer 2.7.1 and XDCAM EX Clip Browser 2.00.00. On the non-working laptops the clip browser software is version 2.00.01 and they are also the year newer unibody models.
    When the SxS cards are inserted, they simply don't appear on the desktop. I'm assuming something needs to be updated but I don't know what. I also don't find a place where I can get help from Sony so any help from here would be appreciated.

  • External hard drive icon won't appear on desktop

    Apparently spontaneously (has worked fine in the past!) I cannot get a desktop icon for my La Cie external hard drive to appear. I can see the hard drive in Desktop Utility and can eject it through there but the verify and repair options aren't highlighted.
