CS3: Export PDF crash...located the source, now what?

InDesign CS3 keeps crashing on page 86 or 87 of a file I'm trying to Export to PDF. I know this from watching the progress bar move across the screen, everything is fine until the status box shows page 86/87, then poof, InDesign disappears and requests to send an error report. I was under the impression this was being caused by the Export PDF settings. With printer's marks enabled, the Export PDF crash occurs on page 86. Turn printer's marks off and the crash happens on page 87. So I tried all kinds of things with Export PDF settings but came up empty.
Then I messed around with pages 86 and 87. Removed text frames from page 86 and tried various combinations with Export PDF. Did the same thing on page 87, and then combinations of 86 and 87 at the same time. No good...keeps crashing. I removed ALL content from pages 86 and 87 and the Export PDF still crashes, even with blank pages.
I finally got a clue when moving text frames to other pages. Both pages have 4 text frames each. When I moved the top text frame on page 87 to a different page -- in this case I moved it to page 98 -- the Export PDF crashed on page 96. Not page 98 where it was located, but page 96. Weird, but it gave me a clue.
Long story short:
Export PDF causes InDesign to crash on page 86 or 87 unless the uppermost text frame on page 87 is moved to a non-printing layer. The text frame can remain on page 87 or be on the pasteboard; either way, it must be non-printing to prevent a crash in Export PDF mode.
Any suggestions? I've already searched the text frame and nothing out of the ordinary catches my eye. The text frame is necessary for a book project. I can't consolidate it with another frame.
Thanks in advance!

My memory is not so great after all...
The bug was in CS4 and it was fixed in 6.0.4. I remembered the rest correctly...
Here's the tech note:
Type on a Path fails to draw in output (PDF, Print, JPEG) on the 35th and subsequent spreads. [2297179]

Exported pdf as swf flip book, now what?

Maybe because the answer is so obvious that there are no tutorials but I've made a very simple flip book to have on my website. How do I embed it? It's a zenfolio site, so I know it will probably be tricky. I do recall do this a couple of years ago using the public folder of Dropbox, but I cannot recall what the steps are? Does anyone know how to do this?
Many thanks in advance.
Heidi

Ok, after digging, I figured it out my self. Yay me. I put the swf file in my public folder. Then I clicked the "copy public link" button. Pasted that into my site menu on zenfolio and it loaded the flip book. Of course it won't open on an iPhone, so I needed to do a version for mobile. If anyone else has this problem, hope my doings solved your issues too.

Problem on PC: During import, I can locate the sources folder however the photo do not display. Was working fine.

Problem on PC: During import, I can locate the sources folder however the photo do not display. Was working fine. All file types, Lightroom is no longer recognising the images to import, The panel that usually displays them remains empty. Try using backup versions, removing software that could conflict , still no joy, has anyone had this problem?

Did you follow this procedure?
Our iTunes guru Terence Devlin advises the following:
1. Quit iTunes
2. Drag the iTunes folder from your internal hd - located in ~/Music folder - to your external hd. DO NOT delete the original one from your internal hd... yet!
3. When the transfer is complete, press and hold the Option(alt) key and fire up iTunes.
4. A "Choose iTunes Library" window will come up. Click on the "Choose Library" button.
5. Navigate to where the iTunes folder is located in the external hd.
6. Within the iTunes folder, select the iTunes Library file and click Choose...
That's it. iTunes will now display all your playlists, songs, movies, podcasts etc. At this point, should you wish, you can delete the iTunes folder from the internal hd to free up space.

ITunes cannot locate the source

I moved my iTunes sources (the original MP3s) from disk C to disk E; then iTunes told me it cannot locate the source. I can either move the source back or locate them myself. However, I just don't want to move the source back but I got like hundreds of songs... Is there a better way than locating them 300 times? It's like one thousand clicks if I do that...

I recommend you put them back and then let iTunes move the files across drives. Follow the instructions in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1364 .

Connect your iPod to any computer with iTunes installed, highlight your device and try syncing the apps only. If it doesn't work might have to restore through iTunes. With the new iTunes and iCloud beta, you can have the iTunes list what apps are missing on your device but if you had previously purchased in the past and then have iTunes install them. You should always get in the habit of backing up your iPhone whenever you do any firmware/OS updating/upgrading or transferring over to new device. I really really really really hope you can get back at least some of your old info. I will tell you this, I have been kicking myself in the butt for not routinely backing up my iPhone when my beautiful special iPhone 4 came up missing and had to revert back to my 3GS. iPhone 5 will be released in a few months so I am holding off on purchasing a new iPhone til then, not that I did so without reservation and a little bit of iPhone 4 withdraw.

My project in imovie says source unavailable after I moved the events to the backup drive. It is connected and shows up in the events library. I can see the pictures but they won't play without the source. What do I do.

My project in imovie says source unavailable after I moved the events to the backup drive. It is connected and shows up in the events library. I can see the pictures but they won't play without the source. What do I do.

I moved it because I did not have room on my hard drive to import my latest video. I take videos my grandkids basketball games then edit them as projects. I don't have room to move the whole events library back to my hard drive. Can I move part of it at a time.
I filled up my 1 TB back up drive so got a 3TB to move my video projects to. Do I have to move both the i photo videos and the projects to the 3 TB drive together some how. When can I delete them off the hard drive .
I moved all the i photo library to the 3 TB drive and deleted them out of i photo. That is 87 GB which I don't have room for on my hard drive.
I think when I use the export movie to my hard drive it works but will I still be able to edit it later if I want. Is it best to do quick time or i tunes if I use the export feature.

My start up disc is full, I emptied the trash now what should I do?

I keep getting a message "start up disc is full" . I've emptied the trash, now what should I do?

Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion/Mountain Lion's Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

iTunes cannot find your music files. Find them on your computer and make sure they're in ~/Music/iTunes. If they are not, then drag all the files into the iTunes app.
