Having major issues with InDesign CS6. will upgrade fix???

Having major issues with InDesign CS6. Not only is it crashing, but it is corrupting the existing file.  Then when I relaunch, it is not allowing me to open the file again.
In another instance, yesterday I opened an file created 3 months ago and it allowed me to make changes, however I could not save them to the existing file, or not even to a new name.
I had to copy each layer on each page to create a new document.  NOT GOOD!!!  Just saw that ADOBE has an update for InDesign.  WILL THIS FIX THE PROBLEM??

Yes, I would certainly get the latest update. That we often solve issues like these, for this is not normal. Some further tips would be quite InDesign, then to trash your InDesign preferences and then re-start InDesign (it will rebuild them again). Some further areas to look into would be:
* Corrupt Font(s) (or corrupt font caches - see below)
* Corrupt Image(s)
* Power Failures (power surges)
* Placing images via drag-and-drop from an Internet page
* Working on an InDesign file over a network or on a remote server
If all else fails, we as Markzware (I work for them) also offer a Service to fix corrupt InDesign documents. See:
http://markzware.com/support/faq/recover-bad-file-service/
Hopefully this helps you.

  • Help Viewer is an issue with InDesign CS6

    Would anyone happen to know if the Help Viewer is an issue with InDesign CS6? Even with a manual install the Help feature launches without issues the first time and won’t launch after the second time. This is the message we are receiving on Windows 7:
    “Help viewer is not installed check your internet connection and reinstall InDesign”

    Can you try the option mentioned in 2nd para of the reply, if you are connected to internet?
    You can try changing the preference "General Settings" > "Display Local Help content only" to "No" so that application launches the online help content.
    -Anup.
    YES! It does help.Thank you very much. I changed the setting yesterday but side tracked before I see the online content works. So in general scope, yes it takes me to the online help center, which gives me options for more "community" answers. So yes, thank you for making me look further.
    However, I really was a fan of the local help that looked like and felt like the user manuals produced by Adobe, not just blogs, and more message boards. So I am still partially dismayed that I take the time to download and update the local help files, but can't use them. And wish Adobe would just fix the problem, so I can have immediate access to user manuals without having to surf all over for answers. Perhaps this is a novice thought, but I liked reading it in manual formats provided by the amnufacture of the software.
    Thanks again though for the help and it will just have to get used to this method. UNLESS you can tell me good news of something else I am missing?

  • I am having major issues with links in keynote! Even though the links (a navigation system) are on the master page, they are only working on some of my slides. Anyone have ideas on how to fix this or similar issues? Help!

    I am having major issues with links in keynote! Even though the links (a navigation system) are on the master page, they are only working on some of my slides. Anyone have ideas on how to fix this or similar issues? Help!
    I have created a navigation system on the master pages and set the presentation to links only mode. I also have other links scattered throughout the program, like a linkable table of contents, etc. Some of them work, some of them don't. Not sure why. Anyone out there having similar issues? Or have any idea on how I can solve this issue? Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Links should not create any problems in Keynote.  If they are set up correctly on text, the text will be underlined. Objects that have links will have a curved arrow bottom right, if you click the arrow a popup will display the link information.
    Try this repair for Keynote,  ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:

    delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote, using Appcleaner from Mac Update, its a freeware application

    empty the trash:  Finder > Empty Trash

    Shut down your Mac, wait 30 seconds, then power on the Mac, immediately after the start chime, hold down the Shift key
    When you see the grey Apple symbol and progress indicator (a spinning gear), release the Shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, then hold down the Shift key again as you click Log in.
    4  
    Let the Mac fully boot up, it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive

    when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive then First Aid tab and click  repair disc permissions

    when complete, restart the Mac normally, Apple menu > Restart

    install Keynote from the Mac App Store
    let us know if this helped

  • Anyone else having major issues with 1.1.4?

    So I updated to Firmware 1.1.4 a day or two after it came out and I've been having major issues. This is on a phone purchased on launch day that has not been jailbrokened or hacked in anyway.
    Battery life...when the phone actually works, is down drastically. I went from 2.5 days with Bluetooth and Wi-fi on to about 12 hours at one time.
    Wi-fi...when it works, just cuts in and out even when the signal should be all full strength.
    Clock...even though it is set to sync with network time, can be accurate one minute and lags behind as much as 15 minutes.
    I've done numerous restores, both from a backup file and setting the phone up as a new phone. Nothing seems to fix the problem so far. Has anyone else run into these issues and/or know of how to fix it.
    I was contemplating downgrading the firmware to 1.1.3, but I don't believe there is an official way to do it.
    Any input would be appreciated.

    I have exactly the same issues, After the Update the sound quality of my calls dropped drastically! I tought first I got a cold or something like that...but it was not I cannot hear as clearly as I used to before and increasing the volume does not solve anything!
    I also noticed that trsitionning from an application to another and especially using the home button to got to home page is getting slower. I need more time to lose safari and go to emails than before.
    My Memory usage is exactly the same as I havent added anything to my library or so. Aroud 3.5 GB free.
    Anyone with same symptoms?

  • Having major issues with Adobe Media Encoder (AME) - exporting with weird image flickering/colour anomalies, crashing regularly, freezing during encode...!

    Hi Guys
    I am having some real issues with Adobe Media Encoder (AME) at the moment.  It appears that I am unable to encode an h.264 for Vimeo from a Premiere Pro Project file at the moment without at least some weird image issues that are not supposed to be there.  These include weird flickering, colour changes, artefacts etc.  This is if I am lucky...often I am unable to get the process to complete as the application either crashes and tells me there has been a problem or it simply freezes and I have to force quit the application and often restart my machine.
    The problem seems to not to just be with h.264 for the web encodes but also with BluRay h.264 as well. As yet I haven't seen if there is a problem with MPEG-2 for DVD so I will check this out too!
    Does anyone else see this happening or does anyone know what might be the problem?
    I thought the Premiere Pro project might have been corrupt so tried a different project but the same issues were happening here too.
    Any help would be really gratefully received.
    Cheers
    EDIT - I have just found this online which is exactly the problem I am having! Thanks a bloody bunch Apple! 10.9.3 causing headaches for Mac Pro users | MacIssues
    Message was edited by: Alex Cameron

    Agreed, I now have a project to GET OUT, and AME crashes consistently 1/3 into the render. It appears to halt all processing after (real time) 00:02:30
    Am seriously considering uninstalling CC as I am beginning to find other issues in some apps, and going back to CS6/MC just so I can get work out. Durn it Adobe this is AWFUL!!
    Alright, let's try to be constructive instead of throwing rocks... but the frustration level is high, and I have material on deadline. Let's get with this, guys...
    What OS Win7, 64-bit
    What version of AME/PPro (Please be specific by getting the full version number in the About Adobe Media Encoder screen) 8.2.0.54 Ppro: 8.2.0 (65)
    When is it crashing (Again, the more detail here about where it was in the encoding process the better) roughly 1/3 into the sequence, always on exactly the same frame - tried replacing the clip with something different to see if it was a timeline error, and NO EFFECT.
    What is your source (PPro project or media file (what kind?)) PPro
    If the source if a PPro project, does it work when exporting directly from PPro? NO
    What format are you exporting to? H.264, QT, WM, tried everything my client can play.
    Do other formats work? MPEG2, QuickTime, etc? NO
    Have you tried with GPU rendering on? How about turning it off by switching to Software-only mode? Mine doesn't have any choice, it's software-only.
    Have you tried disabling Native Sequence Loading? (AME Preferences: General > Enable Native Sequence Loading) No effect
    Other things I tried: uninstalling/reinstalling AME, setting cache to a fast local disk.

  • Who else is having MAJOR issues with their Droid DNA post 4.4 (KitKat) update??

    I usually don't complain or post much about my phone because problems are generally quickly fixed, but this update is just ridiculous. After updating to KitKat, my phone has the following problems:
    1. Text Messages - I constantly get text message errors. Always get the error that my message is not able to be sent. I have two problems with this. First, I get the error that the message was not able to be sent, but the recipient tells me they get mass spammed the same message 3+ times. Second, sometimes the recipient does not receive the message and it never goes through.
    2. Network connection - Since the update, my phone usually does NOT have any type of connection whatsoever. The status bar shows I have 3G or 4G, but when I go to the internet app or try to use any form of data, I get the No data connection/no network connection error. Also, many times I am unable to receive/place calls.
    2. Battery Life - significantly reduced battery life. This is not too big a deal because I'm assuming the new Android version takes more battery power. I can stomach this.
    Please assist me with this as soon as possible. I'd hate to have to drop Verizon for such a silly issue.

        I'm sorrry to hear you're having so many issues with your Droid DNA after your update pl124. I can understand the frustrations you're experiencing but we are here to help. Have you performed any trouble shooting steps with us regarding the issues you're having? Although I'm unable to fix any of the functionality changes caused by the update, I can help with the issues. Are you using a 3rd party messaging app? If so, its always a good idea to temporarily remove it to see if its causing an issue. We also recommend safe mode, which disables all apps and allows you the opportunity to readd them one at a time to see if that particular one is causing an issue. Here are the steps http://vz.to/1g3i9mj .
    Additionally, if you're having issues with missed calls and text, we also recommend a SIM card pull to reconnect your phone back to the towers. Just like rebooting a computer down completely and back up. Where are you located (zipcode)? Are issues with calls and text occuring inside or outside our home? There may be an issue in the area. Here are the steps to safe mode http://vz.to/1hRNOb1 .
    The great thing is you always have the chance to download apps from the app store to help with personalization for your ringtones, wallpapers, graphics, and minor functionalities. I know its upsetting to have so many changes after personalizing your phone but we hope the software gave you some benefits. If you continue to have problems, a hard reset is the last step that can usually correct minor issues but will also require a complete reset back to factory settings. Keep us posted and let us know if the phone gets better with some of the steps above. We want you to love your phone again and only change devices because you are ready for the latest and greatest and not because of issues.

  • I am having major issues with Logic 8 and want to reinstall.

    I am having a lot of issues with Logic 8 and want to do a re-install. What is the procedure and what do I need to uninstall first. I need to be careful, because I don't want to affect my Logic 7.
    Any suggestions?

    What problems?
    The first thing to do is trash the preferences. As far as affecting Logic 7, once you install 8, 7 is "forgotten" about. I'm assuming your L8 is a real version, not a "borrowed from the interweb" one.

  • Having sync issues with Outlook 2011 since upgrading to Mavericks

    Hi All,
    My work Macbook Pro 13" is having issues syncing my inbox and sent mail automatically. It's a hit or miss if I recieve emails in my inbox in a timely mannor with out pressing the Send/Recive button (even when i press it takes minutes to update). My Sent Items can show up an hour later  even if I hit the Send/Recieve button.
    All my mail is there and shows up/syncs on my iPhone quickly. I upgraded to Mavericks right when it came out and have only been having these sync issues for the last week or so.
    I've cleared my mail cache and that didn't work. My calandar reminders and contacts don't seem to have any issues and no other apps have been preforming slow or strangely.... just my VERY important work email. My tech guys are stumped and I wanted to try you guys before they do a major rehaul of my system 
    Thanks!

    A new Outlook Identity will most likely solve your issues. If you have any data under "On My Computer" folders, see this link:
    How to move your data to a new Identity
    BTW, how much free space on your drive? Use Disk Utility in Applications/Utilities to find this info. You need a minimum of 10% free but 15-20% is recommended.
    Outlook gets very sluggish when you are low on disk space. If you have a bunch of older Identities from previous rebuilds you can delete these to help free up space.

  • Is anyone else having bug issues with InDesign?

    I'm trying to do homework with the version I purchased, and I keep running into bugs. Everything is extremely slow. When I scroll, zoom, and move an object, the program keeps skipping on me. When I place an image from Illustrator, there are other paths that show up that were not on the original image. And with those same images, the strokes and fills are all read as red slashes. They should be question marks since they are a combination of paths. And lastly, when I try to use the eye dropper to copy the color of a placed image, I get a popup saying, "Image is a vector graphic. Eyedropper values based on low resolution RGB proxy."
    I think there might be some bug in InDesign, and it's really hard for me to work. It can't be my computer. I have Illustrator as well, and that one works fine despite scrolling speed. So is anyone else having these problems, or might there be something wrong with my version?

    I use CS6 on Windows 7.
    My default interface preference was set to Live Screen Drawing: Delayed. I tried changing from that, it was the same deal. I have noticed though, that performance is a lot slower when Display Performance under Object.
    For the extra lines showing up, I can't seem to find that same problem again, so I can't use a screenshot.
    SRiegal, I don't get what you mean by copying the colors. If you say that InDesign cannot copy the color of vector graphics, then how can I recreate them not knowing the exact values?
