Folio Builder Won't update...Help!

Thanks upfront for any response. I'm on a newer mac(Quad-Core Intel Xeon 12 GB of memory) 10.6.8 with Indesign 5.5. The folio panel in Indesign simply has the download update button at the bottom. I myself have downloaded it and tried to install too many times. It simply crashes about 3 secs into installing, and tells me to download the Adobe Support Advisor, (which I did and) and it does nothing other then package up the info for a Rated ($) question you can pay for later.
I've also now downloaded the most recent update (may 2 release) for the FolioProducerTools-CS55-1.10 and FolioPanel-CS55-12.2.2. Both to no avail. Also, I have about 3 other people in my department try it as well with the same results... I'm starting to think it might be a permissions thing with our IT department. Although I'm an admin on this machine.
I'm headed to a cool Pepcon conference next week and would like to be able to get my feet wet with some of this DPS stuff before I go. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Scott

James, what I nightmare. I found this as I am having the same problem. I've followed the solutions from other members and adobe folks with no success.
When I launch Indesign CS5.5, my FOLIO BUILDER has the "Download Update" information.
I have downloaded and installed the following several times:
FolioProducerTools-CS55-1.10.1.dmg
FolioPanel-CS5-12.2.2.1.dmg
Things I've tried:
1. In Activity Monitor, quitting CS5.5ServiceManager and installing both again.
2. Deleted all folders in Library > Preferences > StageManager > Local Store.
3. Updated Indesign to latest version 7.5.3 and did everything again and reinstalled.
Incidentally, I got it to work on another computer which is running 10.5.
Here are my computer specs:
Mac OS X Version 10.6.8
2.66 GHz Intel Core i5
4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
How do I attached my installer log? Please help, thank you!
Fritz

Folio Builder unavailable after updating InDesign

I purchased a subscription to the Creative Cloud so I could get access to the Digital Publishing Suite tools in InDesign. I downloaded a new version of the Adobe Application Manager as indicated, updated InDesign CS6 (it current shows InDesign CS6 as "Up to date") and attempted to access the Folio Builder. I get the following message in the Folio Builder panel:
A software update is required to use Digital Publishing Suite. Please go to the Help menu and select Updates to get the required software.
What do I need to do to gain access to the DPS software?

One more note:
After purchasing CC I though I would be able to install the Digital Publishing Suite as an app though it did not appear in Adobe Application Manager. I went on the support chat and asked why it wasn't available for download and they (yes, I was transferred to the next level three times and it was the fourth person who told me this) that when I update InDesign the tools would become available within the application. I looked, saw the Folio Builder panel and assumed he was right. Now, two days later I try to start working and I get the error above.
I might be missing something big. Perhaps my question should be, I have paid for Creative Cloud which includes the Digital Publishing Suite (according to the DPS page on Adobe's site), how do I get it on my computer (at least the parts that should be on my comptuer. I am very confused at this point.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Folio Builder Will Not Update!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can not sign into my folio builder. It keeps telling me that a update is available and to download the update. I have now downloaded and installed the update 4 times and keep getting the same message.
Any thoughts?
Rob

I am on OSX and using InDesign 5.5
I thought uninstalling might help so I uninstalled both Tools and Panel.
Then I:
First I installed the Tools from this link.

Then I installed the panel from this link.

Now I don't see the Folio Builder in Extentions->Folio Builder.
Any idea?

10.5.1 Won't Update, help?

Itunes won't, and hasn't for a while, update to the latest version (10.5.1) for Windows 64-bit. Every time I try I get the error message "Error occurred while installing the updates. If the problem persists choose Tools> Download Only and install manually." Doing that didn't work either. I also tried downloading the installer directly from apple.com and that didn't work. Any help would be much appreciated.

IPod Mini Won't Update, HELP!

Here's the sitution.
I plug my iPod mini into the computer and open iTunes. Nothing happens. My iPod is charging in the computer but I can't update it.
Help, PLEASE!

Is your iPod appearing in either iTunes or the computer? If not, have you had a chance to look at these troubleshooting pages? They may be of some help:
iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes
iPod missing in My Computer and in iTunes

UPDATE: Install new Folio Builder panel

The Folio Producer tools on the web were updated July 21. Please update your Folio Builder panel to make sure that it's in sync with the web client. The links for downloading the 1.1.2 update will appear on the main DPS installer pages:
Mac OS: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=172&platform=Macintosh
Windows: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=172&platform=Windows
Note that there is a difference between installing the new Folio Builder panel and updating the authoring tools. Whenever there is an update to the web client, you should update the Folio Builder panel. However, when the new version of the authoring tools (Overlay Creator panel and plugin) becomes available, you have a choice of updating the authoring tools or continuing to use an older release. For example, you may want to continue using an older set of authoring tools so that you can continue to work on folios for a custom viewer that you created, and you don't want to update that viewer app in the store every time a set release comes out.
The v14 authoring tools will be available later, when all the viewers are approved in the stores. The new version of the Viewer Builder app is scheduled for release early next week. You'll be able to specify languages and use in-app billing for Android viewers.
When you update your Folio Builder panel, you will be able to do the following:
* Re-order articles in the Folio Builder panel by dragging and dropping
* Unshare folios with individuals
* Upload large articles (the limit increased from 100 MB to 2 GB)

OK, I've done this.
To test what's happening for sure, I have uninstalled and re-installed time and time again, step by step. Here's what I get:
1. install Digital Publishing Suite: I can sign in to Folio Builder
2. install patch 1.0.1: I can sign in to Folio Builder
3. install patch 1.1.1: I can sign in to Folio Builder
4. install patch 1.1.2: I cannot sign in to Folio Builder
Here are the messages I get when I try to sign in with 1.1.2. It's always one or the other, at random.
On my Mac at home, I can sign in without problem. Could it be a firewall issue with the Windows computers at the office? If the sign-in system has changed, please tell me what Adobe has done so that I can communicate this to our IT support.
In the meantime, I have downgraded to 1.1.1 so that I can continue working with DPS.

Folio Builder Panel

My Folio Builder Panel does not have an upload option. Help ! I installed DPS and Folio Builder Panel and updates. No luck. I have a free Cloud Trial. Does that matter?

Hi Bob,
Please see 2 images. Thanks again.

Folio Builder is missing from indesign cs6 panel

Hi,
I have Indeisgn CS6. I need to access my Folio Builder, however after updating the system my folio builder has disappeared completely from the drop down 'Windows' tool.
Any idea how to get this back?

Perhaps the update wasn't successful? Re-install the tools here Digital Publishing Suite Help | Installing DPS tools

Folio builder panel wont open layout

I have been working on a Folio. When I sat down to work on my folio, I was instructed by indesign to update my Folio producer tools, which I did.
Since then I can no longer view any article layout from that folio in indesign. Indeed any folio that I create that does not reside on my desktop give the same problem. I can import articles, add articles and they all upload to the proper place at adobe and I can view them. But I simply cannot open them up through folio builder as I previously.
The exact error message is as below:
An error has occurred opening the source file for the article layout.
The InDesign file for the layout cannot be found.
Another strange thing that seems to be happening is that the folio will randomly reoder the articles in the folio.
I have dumped my indesign prefs, tried creating an entirely new project, made a new account and even reinstalled the entire software.
But the problem of opening an article that I have imported or added to a folio, simply not being found to open has got me stumped. I can't proceed with a major project until I can sort this out.
Can anyone help.
Many thanks
Steve
The problem initially seemed very similar to the one linked below, but I dont get the content generation error

Hi Casey,
That is my main concern, I moved nothing. The only thing that has changed is that I had a message pop up that folio builder needed an update (which I did, as I couldn't do any more work in it until I had done this).
Once I had completed this, I couldn't load any of the files through the builder that I had previously worked on.
I have just checked the path as per your instructions, and that is totally fine.
I have created a test project using new fresh files/folios and articles and still get the same.
There are two things that make this even stranger.
1. Everything works fine if I work on a folio that has all files in a folder on my desktop. If I work at any other level of sub folder it doesn't.
and:
2. The folio will randomly reorder the articles within it. If I put them back where I want them, a few hours or updates later folio builder will re-organise them.
Totally weird

Can't open DPS folio builder penel

Hello
system told me to update my DPS in order to use folio builder
so I updated my DPS to ver.27&28&29(tried them all)
and since then when I open the folio builder penel
it will be like this and then shut down Indesign.....Please help me

I found a work around. Do a complete reinstall of Adobe suite. Update the DPS for CS6. When you first open Indesign CS6 [even before launch] you will be asked for Adobe ID, sign in here and when program opens it should automatically sign you into folio builder and connect with DPS. When they updated DPS I don't think they connected the back end of sign in within the program.
Very frustrating and thankfully I had no hard deadline.

Folio Builder Login click and nothting happens

Clicking on the login in the Folio-Builder used to launch a login-mask. Right now I've a completely new setup, new Macbook Pro, with a CS6-Installation, never ran the folio builder so far, updated the DPS-tools just today ... and now with a click on the menu item »log in« there is nothing happening at all. Nothing means nothing. No login mask, no failure prompt, no sandclock, no nothing. Even little snitch reports no activity. (Yes, I also gave it a try with a completely disabled little snitch.)
Anyone an idea about this?

Check them Basically
1. Adobe Air & Flash Player
2. Internet (Of course )
3. DPS tool and CS 6 version match
4. close indesign-> go to https://digitalpublishing.acrobat.com/welcome.html ->and log in->open indesign and try again
