Elements in my IDML file are off centre

Hello, I have a designer who sent me back an IDML file (he's on CS6, i'm on CS5). On my end about 1/3 of the pages in a 100 page document are off centre by the exact same amount.
What's bizarre is that some of the off-centre elements are based off of a Master Page, and the Master Page is perfectly fine. Some pages that use master page elements are fine, while other pages are off centre.
Any idea why this is happening?
Right now i'm going through the pages one-by-one and re-arranging the page elements...

The fact is that IDML is not a tool for collaborative workflows and this
is just the kind of thing that can happen and why everyone should be on
the same version.

Photoshop Elements 9: cannot install, files are damaged [Windows 8.1]

I tried it with both downloading the two files from Download Photoshop Elements products | 9, 8, 7 and Photoshop Elements 9 / Premiere Elements 9 Direct Download Links | ProDesignTools, neither installation worked.
When trying to install with the separate .exe file, it says that "An error occured while extracting some files, please check if there is enough space and if you are allowed to write in the folder." but there are 152GB free and I'm the admin.
When trying to unpack first and then install via the .exe inside the .7z, it says "Error in "PSE 9\Data11.cab". The file ist damaged." and so are all the other files: listed as damaged.
I downloaded the files multiple times and tried a lot: I reread all the "Very Important Instructions" on ProDesignTools and followed them strictly, did not find something in the "troubleshoot installation", downgraded Adobe Air to the version inside the .7z, set up a new user account on my computer (even though I installed Windows 8.1 only last week) , deactivated all tasks via msconfig, did a clean boot... installing failed every time.
Once, I archieved to get the .exe working and it started to install, but at one point of about 75% an error occured, that "some files are damaged" and the process made until this point was automatically cancelled, deinstalled. It only took a few minutes longer until failure.
But what else can I do? I already read in this forum that Pse9 + W8.1 worked for others. But it does not for me. So, are the files damaged?
Thank you for any advice!

Please check if the downloads are the full size, and not somehow truncated.
PhotoshopElements_9_LS15.exe : 1.16 MB = 1,199 KB = 1,227,128 bytes

After dragging a map and navigating away all other scenes are off centre..

My Flash document contains several scenes, one of them is a draggable map including hotspots/buttons to navigate to another scene.
After dragging the map then navigating from one of the buttons the next frame is remains off centre (as if when the map was dragged the whole Flash movie has been dragged away from the centre stage).
The map is a graphic, inside that it is a button and then inside that the navigational button.
In the timeline in an actions layer I have:
stop();
mapisland.onPress = function(){
    this.startDrag(false,296,317,-55,10);
mapisland.onRelease = function(){
    stopDrag
mapisland.onReleaseOutside = function(){
     stopDrag
And applied to the hotspot button:
on (release) {
    this._parent.gotoAndPlay("Arrow");
The navigation and drag work fine, however as I stated before when navigated to the "Arrow" scene the all that can be seen of it is just a corner.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You

If your Jetpack is powered on then you are going to be liable for any data usage that occurs. It doesn't matter if the usage was intentional or not. The best practice while investigating a data usage/overage situation is to power down your Jetpack when you are done using it. That is the only way you can be sure that your sleeping devices are not actually communicating and pulling updates. Situations like this are often why I do not suggest Jetpacks as a primary internet connection from home. Jetpacks are designed to be temporary and mobile internet connections best suited for a traveling business man or someone frequently on the move.
It sounds like you have done everything that VZW can normally do in an overage situation. You had your first overage wiped, had the device swapped out and changed passwords (although that shouldn't matter from your description). The only loose end you haven't tended to is leaving the Jetpack powered on when not in use. That or switching to a different Jetpack model or 4G LTE device (ex. USB modem+router or 4G LTE router) to see if they behave any better.
My suggestion would be to terminate considering the amount of time and money you have already invested in this situation. Give another service provider a chance and see if the performance is any better. If you spend more time troubleshooting it should be on how to handle the termination fee (which is pro-rated). VZW will still be here if you decide to return down the road, perhaps things will be better.

Files are off line now encoder wont work

I have been working on a slideshow in Premiere pro CS4 saved all my files went over to After effects for a day came back to Premiere and all of my files were off line I tried to reconnect them and it said files are to big (Something like that) so I deleted all of my projects and started over now Ive tried to export one simple photo for a slide show and does not show up in the adobe media encoder.Im not doing anything crazy here.Oh the pain
Any help is appreciated.

OK, after you Scale your image, do a Render. Remember, previewing in the Program Monitor is just an emulation. To view for critical grading, a calibrated CRT TV monitor will be better. However, you can set your Program Monitor to display 100% (not Fit), and Display Quality to Highest.
Also be aware that the scaling algorithms in PrPro are not as good as those in Photoshop and offer far less control over the scaling. I do all of my resizing in PS, prior to Import into PrPro, and establish the exact size that I will need, usually the exact Frame Size as my Project, or calculated to the exact size that I will need, if I must pan on a zoomed out image. This ARTICLE will give you some tips on resizing in PS.
Hope that this helps on the quality issue, and good luck,
Hunt

FAQ: My files are missing from Elements Organizer, or How to reconnect your images?

What is Elements Organizer?
The Elements Organizer can be used to arrange, codify, systemize, group, and classify your media. When you import your images and video into the Orgnizer, you are adding information about your files to a catalog. Your files remain on your hard drive where they were, unless you are importing them from a camera, in which case the files are copied to your hard drive to a location of your choosing.
What is an Elements Organizer catalog?
The catalog is a database that stores information about the files you've imported into Elements Organizer. When importing a file, the first thing Organizer does is collect the file's name and location on the hard drive. If the file has any attached compatible metadata, such as keyword tags, these are imported as well. You can use multiple catalogs and yourr catalogs can be carried forward from version to version.
Why does Elements Organizer say my files are missing?
Since the catalog database only stores information about your file, and not the file itself, if any of that information is changed outside of Elements Organizer, the connection to the file is lost. There are three ways this can happen: the file name is changed, the file location is changed, or the file has been deleted. If you need to rename, move, or delete a file, you can do so within the Elements Organizer, and then the connection is not lost.
What is Reconnecting?
When a file has been renamed, moved, or deleted, the catalog database needs to be updated with that new information. The Reconnection process allows you to point out a file's new name, it's new location, or to delete the database entry on your file if the file no longer exists on your hard drive.

Anything besides reconnecting all the files, such as switching the drive letter (if that is even possible)?
The easiest way to fix this is to change the drive letter. Here are instructions for Windows 7: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/windows7/ht/change-drive-letters-windows-7.htm
To prevent this from happening again, you can change the drive to some very high letter, like X:, and then it should remain constant. In Lightroom, right-click on the top level folder ,and select Find Missing Folder, and then point it to your X: drive.
I know I can "Import---Add to catalog" all the photos from my external hard drive back into the catalog but I do have a question:
I won't address your question specifically, since re-importing is a very bad idea. A very bad idea. You will lose information that is not in the sidecar files, such as collection members, edit history, flags, virtual copies, stacks and a few other things. Just don't go there. Change the drive letters, as I explained.

My A4 centred document keeps printing out off centre.

I have an A4 Document which has everything centred, when i print out the document is off centre and I can't figure out why this is happening. I have tried exporting as pdf & jpgs and when i print those out they are off centre too. The actual InDesign document is aligned to the centre perfectly though!
Help!

I just want to be clear about what "the same direction" means. After rotation the same elements are too close to the same edge of the page.
If that's true on all the prints, the problem is in the communication between ID and the printer (and that's not all that unusual with Ricoh printer drivers and ID). ID is not known for it's native printing, and it doesn't get along with some print drivers at all. Top of the list is HP, and Ricoh might be second. In such cases exporting PDF and printing from Acrobat is the suggested workaround. It disturbs me, though that you say the PDF also prints off center, which is why I think this is a printer problem.

Cannot open an idml file created in CS5.5 in either CS5 or CS5.5

I have exported a CS5.5 file to idml but I cannot get it to open in either CS5 or CS5.5. Below is a screenshot of the error I get in both versions.
I have tried getting rid of all 3rd party plugins and resetting preferences to ID defaults in both CS versions but I always get this error. This testtest doc is a new file opened in CS5.5 with a text frame and a few words in 'Basic Paragraph' style and that is it. I checked for updates for both versions and there were none.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Janine

Could you please email the file to me?
Received.
I have seen this problem before. I do not know what causes it (I suspect a corrupt InDesign installation), but I do know how to fix it.
IDML files are .ZIP files containing XML.
Inside the IDML file there is a file called "designmap.xml". In your case, it starts (ok, line 2) like this:
<?aid style="50" type="pi_for_SaveBackINX" readerVersion="6.0" featureSet="257" product="7.5(142)" ?>
But typically it would look like this:
<?aid style="50" type="document" readerVersion="6.0" featureSet="257" product="7.5(142)" ?>
The difference is sufficient to cause it to not be properly parsed.
So, to fix this problem, you can rename the .IDML file to .ZIP, unzip it, edit the designmap.xml changing pi_for_SaveBackINX to document, re-zip it, and rename it back to IDML. (Make sure not to change the directory structure when you do this.)
Edit: Oops, forgot to include the evidentiary screenshot:

Cannot install downloaded Elements 12 files are corrupt

This time is costing me more than the program cost. I've spent hours uninstalling Photoshop Elements 12, installing Photoshop Elements 10, then my Premier Elements 12 was corrupt so I downloaded the installed after logging into my Adobe, now it will not install and says the files are corrupt. I need to get this program back on my computer please.
Windows 8, i7 processor, 16GB of RDRAM, 3GB of Graphics Memory, fast internet connection, problems finding any help from Adobe.

Hi timmyleeturner,
Do you have any antivirus, firewall or any other security software installed on the machine?
If yes, then please try to turn them off and download the software again from the link below.

Also check the size of the installer on the website and on your machine.

Snow Leopard HD being replaced; my files are on external HD; can I run them off of MBA Lion?

My Mac issues .... bad seagate hard drive .... , finally being replaced as of today by Apple store per the warranty. The MBA? All sorts of issues(el cheapo version--only $999 <insert evil smirk>; 2011 11-inch, measley 64G flash drive; memory keeps being eaten alive by some kind of "other" mystery files). Whatever. It's not like I'm not used to all the problems with this machine anyway ... so I'll hang on to it and try to work with it till Thursday.
I've got both of my Macs backed up on a 1T Seagate external HD. With the 27-inch Mac in the Genius Hospital getting a new hard drive, I'd like to try to do one or both of the following:
1. Work off of the iMac Snow Leopard stuff saved on the external hard drive (backed up ON the seagate external as well as on Time Machine--yes, it's journaled, whatever that means). Is that possible? There were very confusing issues with permissions that I was not able to resolve on my own before I took the Macs to the Apple store, so .... that brings me to Number 2.
2. Since the idiot MBA has to have its hard drive wiped out for a fresh install on Thursday, can I wipe it out myself, OR just access the Snow Leopard files somehow off of the Seagate external drive? But they are only backed up via Time Machine, so it's what? Impossible to work with just one file, plus I've got those issues with disk permissions.
I guess what I'm wondering is, can I use this MBA sort of as a temporary machine to run the Snow Leopard? I don't need everything off of the iMac, because I'm only talking about using it like this for today and tomorrow. I'm more than happy to wipe out the entire contents of this MBA (it's backed up on the seagate external also) and just use it as Snow Leopard until I can get the iMac back and reinstall it all on there. Is that possible?
I've googled until I'm blue in the face and my eyes have glazed over. I cannot figure it out. Obviously, this being the 11-inch MBA, there is no CD drive, so no way to boot off a Snow Leopard disk.
Anyone? Buehler? Anyone? Can I work with my own files on that external drive, even if it means I wipe out the MBA?

Can I do this?
Only if your computer shipped with Mac OS X 10.4. Use the 10.4 package that shipped with it.
How?
Install it normally, considering the point above.
Snow Leopard won't let me install an older version of OS.
It's not Snow Leopard that won't let you. It's the computer itself.

I have a Mac Pro OS 10.7.5 and have a DVD+R disc with files on it, but it ejects the disk after about 10 seconds--what to do? How can I get the data off this disc? I can see it has been already burned, so files are on there?

Try cleaning the lens and see if that will restore functionality to the DVD drive. Use a DVD lens cleaning disk, if you have a can of compressed air, shoot some into the slot or wrap a fine microfiber cloth (eyeglasses cleaning cloth) around a business card and insert it gently inside the slot.
If no success, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and get a free diagnosis from them.
Ciao.

Hi I shoot on a canon 5d mk11 and I record my audio on an external device yet when I open up my footage in final cut pro x I can't find my external audio files only the ones attached to the clip which are off the camera mic

What device?
What format?
How are you importing it?
Can you find the external audio with Finder?
Where is your destination file when you import it?

Hi, I have problem with importing MOV files from SJCAM 4000. MOV files are in supported formats for Adobe Premiere Elements 11. But if I'm importing MOV file, only audio part is imported, video part is not imported. How can I solve this problem?

From looking at the specifications of your camera (SJCam 4000), we know already what video compression your camera is using. It is H.264.
A H.264.mov file should be supported by Premiere Elements 11. On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 11 running?
Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer? And, are you running QuickTime and Premiere Elements 11 from a
User Account with administrative privileges? Please go to Premiere Elements 11 Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime to confirm that you find
presets there for the QuickTime choice there.
What are the properties of these H.264.mov files - is it 1080p30 (1920 x 1080p30) or something else? Do you know if this camera is recording with a variable or
a constant frame rate?
Please review and consider and then we will decide what next.
Thank you.

Files are loosing connections In Elements.

I recently switched from a Windows PC with ACDSee, to a Mac system with Elements 11. I am currently moving files aboout on three different drives and have found that I have to constantly go back manually and search out files to re-establish connections. THis gets to be quite time-consuming as I have over 10,000 pics on these three drives. What am I doing wrong> What is actually happening to these files when I organize them? I am constantly re-filing these pics for different purposes and I thought I could get around this with Elements.

Elements is not a file browser. This means that any time you move photos outside of Elements, or rename photos/folders outside of Elements, then Elements no longer knows where the photos are, and you have to reconnect the photos, or move them back to their previous location.
A better idea is to NOT move the photos at all, and organize via tags and captions. In that way, you can still find the photos (via tags and captions) and you never lose connection with the photos.

MOH files are being cut off

My MOH is working correctly with my original audio file. However, I created and added a new file that is longer and the file restarts before it finishes. I know there must be some sort of timer, but I can't find it. Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Larry

Hi
I have the same problem, the only difference is that it is not working.
There are large files in MoH that work fine. But last week we added some small files for the attendant console.
These 2 files are cut off before the end. It are 2 files of 300 Kb and about 25 seconds. 2 seconds before the end, the loop rebegins.
All the timers are correct and all the other MoH files play out very well.
What can be the problem?

My Mac suddenly started getting a pop up message saying "There was a problem conecting to the server. URLs with the type "file" are not supported." My internet is working fine,no problem connecting. I just keep getting this message which I click off .

Open the Time Machine pane in System Preferences. If it shows that Time Machine is ON, click the padlock icon in the lower left corner, if necessary, to unlock it. Scroll to the bottom of the list of backup drives and click Add or Remove Backup Disk. Remove all the disks, then add them back. Quit System Preferences. Test.
