File saving in Indesign CS6

I was just working on a file and saved it. Not only did it save to the folder where the file is located, it updated the backup file on  a completely separate disc which I did not want. How do I prevent this from happening? Thanks.

How does the backup disk work? Do you have some sort of automatic backup system that scans your drives looking for modified files? That's the only way I can think of that a backup file would be modified.
To be sure old backup versions are protected in a situation like that, you should periodiocally  (like as soon as you open a file, and at each major change point) do a Save AS to a new file that includes a version designation in the name.

  • Saving in InDesign CS6

    When I'm working on a project in InDesign CS6 I sometimes can't 'save' it. I even cant' use 'save as' at that moment. By closing the leaflet it askes if I want to save the project, but also won't save. Is this a bug in InDesign CS6?

    Some new information this morning from the other user:
    Hi Peter, I just wanted to give you an udate in case it helps others: the problem returned, and I tried creating a new profile on my machine and running it that way, to see if it was just the prefs or my profile. Although i could save etc I then couldn't PDF anything without errors, so went back to my original profile. I reinstalled Acrobat in case that was the culprit, but no difference.
    SO, I had a rethink and removed Magic Prefs which was running in the background, and also turned off Allow Multiple Gestures in Indesign prefs. So far all stable, and working well on big files across CS6, so hopefullly this has proved to be the fix.
    Kind regards and thanks again for all your help and quick responses.
    NB I am running CS on a  new iMac running OSX 10.7.4. I use Font Explorer X Pro, Firefox, Filezilla, Picasa and Easyfind. No other third party software on my mac. I work largely off an  external server.

  • File saved in Photoshop CS6 "incompatible" when opened on same computer?!

    For the first time yesterday I saved 3 PSD files, (about 760Mb each, large flat 16bit background-only PSD's)  and then have them refuse to open in the same version of Photoshop CS6, Windows 8/64, that they were just made in, an hour later. I just see the dialog warning that they are 'incompatible with this program' ?!
    I don't understand how a file can be saved incompatibly with the program that saves it. Is this a bug?  First time I've seen it, if so & do not use any other versions of Photoshop or any other machines for that matter. Am very confused why this happens.
    Have reset compatibility mode to 'Always'  (though I don't see why I should have to do this)  and am hoping it doesnt go and happen on some critical save of another file.  My hard drive Raid array is working fine, and I have never had a problem with storage, so its not a random hard drive error, as it happened 3 times in a row.
    Saving the same file just now as a TIFF (it has no layers) gave no problem. Guess I'll avoid PSDs without layers for now.

    Just to be absolutely sure, it's always a good idea to take a look in your Windows Event Log to see whether any new events have appeared.

  • My IDML file saved in Indesign CC won't open in Indesign 6

    Hello. I am on trial of Indesign CC, and exported a file to an IDML trying to open it on the school computer since they only have previous versions of Indesign.
    When I try to open my file that I worked on at home in Indesign CC, it won't open in Indesign 6.
    The pop up message I get is "Cannot open the file xxx.idml." Adobe Indesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application."
    The file IS saved as IDML
    The file isn't open in another application
    I don't know how I can fix this issue. Could anybody help me out? I've tried both .indd and .idml saved under CC, but it refuses to open in prior versions.
    Thank you very much in advance.

    Hi, I too am having this issue. Did you get anywhere with resolving the problem?
    Many thanks in advance

  • Thumbnails in Bridge lost in files saved with AE CS6

    On Windows I have some templates (aet) from AE 7 and CS3 that include thumbnails in the XMP, and Bridge CS6 shows these.  If I open these templates in AE CS6 and save them out, no thumbnail is preserved/added to the XMP.
    I looked through the preferences for AE CS6 and I can't find anything related to saving out previews/thumbnails in the XMP for a project or template. 
    Is there a setting that will allow me to get thumbnails in the XMP that I would see in Bridge?  Was this a capability that was dropped some time between CS3 and CS6?
    David Blake

    I can contact my customer and see if he wants to contact you about his templates that have thumbnails.
    The files I am testing with are from Adobe Exchange.  The metadata in the file doesn't indicate who they are from or who created them.  The thumbs are in the screenshot below.

  • File saving issues in CS6

    I have recently upgraded from CS4 to CS6.  After editing a jpeg, I try the Save As command and recieve this message...."could not complete the Save As command because there is not enough memory RAM"
    I also notice that all my images are at 72 dpi, is this going to affect image quality?  I shoot in the largest file possible when taking the photographs.  Help, I feel like I no longer understand photoshop

    You can do that no problem.

  • Will CS7 files saved as legacy CS6 be ok re-saved as CS7?

    Students who bought Creative Cloud are getting messages that their files (Id, with other CS linked files) won't open in CS6 here at the college. If they go home and save the files as CS6, work on them here, what are the consequences of them working on them again under CS7?

    You may need some schooling on schooling. I can mention it to the Dean, but he's quite busy and this is not his department. This is a purchasing policy set at a level well beyond any academic's pay grade. We could make an adventure, or challenge, or crusade out of it, and I have on other similar issues, such as service contracts which are (perversely) required for hardware that is obsolete during the contract period.
      The case at hand bears on a common accounting principle. Owning is an asset. Leasing is a liability. I love to go where everything is headed, unless it's up against a wall.
      We taught on CS1 until last semester. Really. We finally got a grant to upgrade from CS1 and PPC Macs. It will be a long time before we upgrade again. That's typical of colleges, just ask.
      The students can demand what they want, but they're glad (and at this point, lucky) to get into a class at all. Our college runs at >100% enrollment, with salaries frozen for years and no expansion of programs, including upgrades. The students graduate with crushing debt, so a one year rental contract is not something they want to sign up for, even if it costs less nine months after they've taken the class, a calculation I'm sure you'll understand. (They used to buy the CS Premium package through Adobe for $354 outright or get it ways we won't mention.) Economic reality really should play a part in Adobe's revenue model.

  • IDML file saved in CS6 does not open in CS5

    Hi there,
    Trying to figure out this problem. A file created in InDesign CS6 we saved it as a idml file to be opened from cs5. When cs5 tries to open it it complains about plugins are missing.
    Has anybody run into this problem?

  • My Fonts change when opening an InDesign CS4 file with InDesign CS6

    I've been experiencing strange behaviour when opening a InDesign CS4 file file with InDesign CS6: the kerning and spacing is all off:
    Original file:
    opened in InDesign CS6:
    Is this a conversion error? Is there a setting/pref I've got wrong?

    It's more than a year ago since this issue was reported, but at this time I'd had the same problem when opening a CS4 document in CS6/CC.
    I was amazed that a header, placed in capitals, looked different in CS6/CC. But at last, after several tests, i've came to the conclusion that "forced" capitals behaving different than "real" capitals. In others words: when you forcing text to capitals the kerning would be different in CS6/CC. When you place text in real capitals (Shift + text) the kerning is the same as in both InDesign versions.
    Text in CS4:
    As you can see: in CS4 there's no difference between real capitals en forced capitals.
    Below the results when opening the CS4 file in CS6/CC:
    I'm not sure if there are still people struggling with this problem, but hopefully was is this helpful.    

  • Can only open .indd files within InDesign CS6

    I am using InDesign CS6 (cloud version) on Windows XP. I can only open .indd files by opening InDesign CS6, doing File>Open, and then browsing for the file.
    If I try to go to the folder where the .indd file is located (without opening InDesign CS6), and double-click on it, it acts like it doesn't know what kinf of file it is.
    Another co-worker of mine is experiencing the same thing on Windows 7.
    Does anyone have suggestions on what to try to fix this?
    Thanks in advance!

    Uninstall, run the clean tool (CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3), and reinstall. The symptoms you describe are typical if the icon handler .dll file is damaged.
    Try turning off your anti-virus and spyware scanners, and anthing else not required to run the system before you reinstall.

  • Will InDesign CS6 and CC have same file format?

    Hi all...
    A fairly simple question: Do anybody know whether InDesign CC will retain the same file format from InDesign CS6, so you can open files made in both application. Say you subscribe to CC and work for somebody who one have CS6? Will you did be able to use files without any issues?

    Thanks for the quick reply, Peter.
    If InDesign CS6 is indeed included - and I have read the same thing - it will do.
    It is a bit of a mess that the file format change from version to version, especially now when the CC apps is just going to be called CC and is always updated to the latest version. Eventualy we might have to work with CC 1.0, CC 1,5 and CC 2.0 files unless Adobe have some kind of brilliant solution. Oh well.... 

  • InDesign CS6 won't package fonts or package anything after installing OSx mavericks - Client is waiting

    Pre-Mavericks I had zero problems packaging my INDD files in Adobe InDesign CS6 with all fonts and links intact. Now, when I go to package the same files I successfully packaged last year under Lion, InDesign tells me the fonts can't be packaged (and doesn't package anything else either). My client is becoming very frustrated so I would really appreciate some help from Adobe in solving this problem as soon as possible.

    Thank you Willi for responding.
    Which fonts are affected? - I'm assuming all of the fonts are affected since no fonts are able to be packaged.
    Are all used fonts installed? - Yes
    Did you have your fonts in a Document Fonts folder beside your old file and saved your new document on a different place? - Before I upgraded to Mavericks I was able to package everything for this exact same file so I do have fonts in the packaged folder (referring to my 2013 file) so even though the fonts aren't in a Documents folder (they are inside the package "Fonts" folder) so I think the answer to your question is yes.
    Does your font folder have the same permession as the folder before? - I believe so because I never changed the permissions for the fonts
    Do you use CS6 as part of the Creative Cloud and are you using TypeKit fonts? Or are you using the boxed version? - I am trying to avoid using Creative Cloud since I already have CS6 that I have already paid for. What I am reading on the internet, however, is that Adobe is forcing people to move over to CC when they upgrade to Mavericks due to problems like I am having now. I am not sure if this is true/untrue but I am definitely concerned. I can not afford right now to start paying a monthly fee (especially after I have already paid for CS6). I am using a boxed version of CS6 and I am not using TypeKit fonts.

  • Saving issues with CS6

    Is there an issue with saving in InDesign CS6?  I keep trying to want to "Save" after I make a slight change and the software keeps trying to "Save As" and create a new file.  I will not allow me to save over the old file and it's annoying the hell out of me. 

    No 3rd party plug-ins.  I don't have any utilities running in the background.
    The read only issue I think is the reason.  I'll check on it and get back to you on what I find. 
    If this is the cause, then would this be a bug with ID?  Why would a file I created on an accessible drive on my desktop or server open up as a "Read Only"? 

  • Fonts not showing in InDesign CS6

    Hi there,
    I've seen a similar question to this before through a Google search and I tried the advice listed such as placing the affected fonts in: C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe\InDesign CS6\Fonts; as well as searching for fonts with a **after its name.  Doesn't work.  The files originated in CS5 and pops up saying there are two missing links (fonts) which are Avenir Book and Avenir Black.  I've done the "Find Font" and the only one that shows is Avenir Book.  Avenir Black isn't even there, even after re-installing and relocating to the new folder.  Secondly, even after I save the file after "finding" Avenir Book, upon re-opening it still says it's missing.  Is there anything else I can try-short of uninstalling InDesign CS6 (I still have CS5 installed)?  Also, I'm not that familiar with InDesign, it isn't a program I use much.
    Thanks!

    Is this the same computer where the files started out in CS5?
    There are probably quite a few different cuts of Avenir (certainly over the years it has been available as TT and T1 in both Windows and Mac formats, and I have an OpenType version here from Linotype). Some possibilities for why CS6 might not see a font are that you have installed a different version, you have more than one version installed or it is installed in more than one location, or that it is looking at a different internal name in CS6. Typically, if the fonts are showing as missing, but are, in fact installed, using Find Font and substituting the same font will solve the problem.

  • Indesign CS6 won't open after Photoshop CS6.

    Indesign was working like a charm, then I had to install Photoshop which installed without error, since then whenever i launch indesign the splash screen comes up and gets as far as "setting up service registry" and then just disapears. It works with other users on the PC and I have tried creating a new profile for the user without any joy.
    The following error is in the event log:

    Any help would be appreciated.

    The program has been uninstalled and reinstalled and the problem is still there. I was considering running the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool, and reinstalling, However from the documentation it looks as though it is for installation issue? Would it be of any help or is there a better tool to use to remove all traces of indesign from the PC/Registry? so i can reinstall?
    As This issue was caused by installing photoshop is there any mileage with uninstalling both then reinstalling them?
