Help associating indd files with ID CS5

I uninstalled InDesign CS4 on my computer to free up disk space. I already had InDesign CS5 installed. Now, my .indd files are not associated with my CS5 version. I can see the indd extension in my files, but when I click on them they do not open in any format. I have tried going through the steps and associating the .indd files to CS5, but the computer will not allow me to associate those files with the indd.exe file.
Any suggestions on getting this fixed?
Thanks!

Once you wind up with that situation it's fastest to just reinstall.

Possible to create medium res .pdf file with InDesign CS5?

Hello,
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to create a medium res .pdf file with InDesign CS5?
I'm working with a client and have been sending him both high res and low res files of a catalog project. High res .pdf is 12.8MB and low res is 1.2MB. He is asking whether I can create something in between the two, say somewhere around 6 to 8 MB.
Any insight would be much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Tania

PDFs do not have a resolution. The graphics within do, however..
Look at the downsampling settings and experiment until you get what you want.

It's probably best to ask in the InDesign Scripting forum:

Can't associate INDD files with InDesign CC 2014 (Windows 7)

After updating to CC 2014, I noticed that my file associations for all my Creative Cloud applications were pointing to the wrong places. I assume this is because the new updates are actually different versions of the application and installed as completely separate apps. I was able to adjust my PSD and AI files to point to their new CC 2014 counterpart just fine, but when I tried setting the file association for INDD files, I noticed that the file type did not show up in the Windows 7 control panel file association list. So, instead I went directly to an INDD file on my computer, right-clicked, selected "Open with...", clicked "Browse..." and navigated to "InDesign.exe." When I selected it and pressed OK, it failed to change the file association. Repeating the process has not helped and now the only way to open an INDD file is to drag and drop it into the workspace of InDesign CC 2014. After restarting my computer, the INDD file type is now showing up in the Windows 7 control panel file association list, but it still is not allowing me to change the association.

No, I did not. I'm running the 2014 Release version of InDesign for Windows (see screenshot below). And as far as I'm aware, Adobe has not released another update to the 2014 release version. I used to have the older version of InDesign Creative Cloud installed as well (the version right before the 2014 release), but have since uninstalled it as didn't want or need two versions of InDesign. I may just try re-installing the 2014 release version and see if that fixes things.

Are there any gotcha's opening an ID CS5 file with ID CS5.5 file?

Hi all I am working with a client who is going to submit a print file to a printer who has CS5 installed, not CS 5.5. Is there any gothcha's here like there was when trying to open a CS5 file with CS4? Thanks in advance!

Arg. I thought as much. Printer had a hard time with IDML last time. I always send a PDF, but sometimes slight resizing is an issue, and assumed having the .indd file would help there. I guess they can work with the PDF, but language is a barrier here
Resizing in what sense? That they want to change the file? That's your job. Or do you mean the PDF or their output from it has changed sized for some reason? That should not be happening. An exported PDF is exactly the same size as the document from which it is exported, and it the print is a differnt size, your printer is doing something they shouldn't.

Need help exporting ID file with TOC to EPUB.

I've been troubleshooting a file created in ID CS5.5 and then moved to CC. When I export to EPUB the TOC ends up at the end of the file rather than at the point where I originally inserted the TOC. The vendor I'm sending the EPUB to won't accept a file with the TOC out of place. I tried exporting to an HTML editor and moving the TOC there. (I'm no whiz at HTML though.) Now I see no way to import the file back into ID to export it as EPUB ( and doubt that's the best way to deal with this anyway). I'd deeply appreciate any suggestions!

First of all, a TOC is not only "The Toc". You need to distinguish between the dynamic Reader TOC and a optional TOC e.g. on page 3. While the first is generally required, the second is optional in most cases.
You must also distinguish whether the export is EPUB 2 or EPUB 3.
1. Assume you mean the dynamic TOC > InDesign will create the TOC on the right place, if you choose the TOC-Style during the export.
2. Assume you mean the TOC on page 3 > Here the content- or article-order is important! If you have a threaded story from page 2-100 and your TOC as a single frame on page 3 > InDesign will first export the content on page 2 AND the content of all threaded frames and at least your TOC on page 3.
3. Assume further your exported file is correct in most cases, you can change the order of your TOC in the EPUB directly in the content.opf file in the spine-area
To give you more help, I must have a look at your file.

[Help]Playing MP3 files with Juk have to wait for 1 hr to hear voice

I am not sure how long should wait, but difinately longer than 10min. If you are playing a playlist, you have to wait a long time for next song...
Observations:
1. You can hear voice after all, that means the hardware and codec is working properly.
2. You can play the mp3 file with smplayer without difficulty. that means the filesystem/storage hardware should'nt be problematic.
3. When waiting for playing songs, the CPU usage of Juk is remaining on about 3%. I believe it is a reasonable value and does not indicating any problem of the program.
Have anybody here got this problem before? Help!

in case your phonon backend is gstreamer, change it to xine. that's what is recommended by amarok devs.

How to correctly update .indd files with incopy through adobe cc

Hello,
We have a group of users in our company that only have incopy. This is done both for a control (no one changes layouts by accident) and for cost savings of not haveing the full suite for every user.
With this environment we have found that...
After any change to text via incopy, a person with adobe InDesign will need to open the file and update links so the .indd file will reflect the text changes.
This will need to happen after proofing or any other editorial changes along the way. This adds many steps to our workflow.
Ex:
Alyssa is editing a sustainability article with incopy (no indesign). She makes her edits and save the contents (copy fits, remove a punctuation etc). However, when viewing the .indd file in adobe CC, her changes are not reflected.
Bill (indesign user) had to open the file with InDesign, click update links (this is a popup box upon opening) and then save the file again, before the file would reflect the text changes.
Does anyone know of a way to get around this? It would be great if incopy could push the text changes to the .indd file without a seperate step.
Thank you,
Andy

I'm a little confused. Are the InCopy users using InCopy to edit standalone files (they're opening ICML files)? Or are they opening up the INDD file (the layout) in order to edit the stories context of the design.
If the latter, then there's no need for the InCopy user to wait for an InDesign user to do something. As they make their edits in InCopy, the layout view in InCopy gives them a pixel-accurate preview of how their changes will appear in the final layout. If other InCopy users are editing different stories in the same publication (layout), any user can update to view their colleague's edits on a story-by-story basis, or all at once.
And when an InCopy user sits down to work and opens a layout from the server, InCopy automatically makes sure that they are seeing the current versions of all stories in the layout ... they don't get prompted to update the stories, it happens by default. Even if the InDesign user hasn't touched the file or updated the stories.
FWIW, most of my InCopy/InDesign clients use this layout method.

Associating music files with palylists and/or music library

My HD went out but luckily (I thought) I had a backup of my iTunes folder on an external drive. After installing the new hard drive and all the updates to TIGER 10.4.x I copied my original iTunes folder to new drive to the music folder.
I see all my files in my library and play lists, but they all have an "!" by them and when I choose a particular song, a message comes up saying that iTnes can NOT find the associated music file (even though the file is actual there in the iTUnes folder and on my HD). Short of manually associating every library/playlist song with the actual music file (more that 2,000 files), is there any automated process or method to associate all the music files with the library/playlist files?????

Morris:
First, back up your iTunes Library file - just in case the original gets damaged, you will have a clean copy to restore to.
*From the File menu, select Export Library and save as an .xml file to your desktop.
*Go to iTunes Preferences>>Advanced, and make sure that you have DESELECTED Copy music to iTunes folder when adding to library and SELECTED Keep iTunes Music folder organized.
*Close iTunes
*Now, go to the ~/Music/iTunes folder and remove the
b iTunes Library
file from this folder.
*Restart iTunes - your Source Menu and Library should be empty of everything except the standard preset playlists.
*From the File Menu, select "Add to Library" and navigate to the location of your music files.
*When the import process is finished, go to the File Menu, select Import and navigate to the Library.xml file you created in the first step.
Your links between songs should be reestablished and your metadata intact.
Good luck and let us know how you make out.

Associating image files with Photoshop

I'd like to associate jpg or raw files with Photoshop, whereby I can click on the image file and it will launch directly into Photoshop. When I try to associate through Windows 8 it fails to find Photoshop CC as an option to open any form of graphic files, yet I can open PS CC directly and then open the files, or go through Bridge. Thanks.

I find in windows two thing need to be set correctly for that to work like you want. First the file extension associations must to set to ypir Photoshop version and the windows registry keys for photoshop.exe shell commands open and edit must be set correctly.
File associations may be checked and changes with the control panels default programs file association application and the registry keys can be checked. and modified with regedit.

Cannot open a TIFF file with Photoshop CS5

I have enclosed the URL to a TIFF file. I am not able to open this file using Photoshop CS5, as it says unsupported file with this version. I didn't face this problem before.

Thanks in advance.

Something must have corrupted someting in the file so newer versions of photoshop won't open it.
I was able to open it in photoshop 3, ImageReady and also paint and a couple of other non adobe image editors/viewers.
Though the transparency didn't seem to survive.
If have you some other image editors or viewers you might try those.

Help - loading updated files with same name

CS4
When updating files with same name my CS4 automatically puts an extension _000
I think it should ask me if I want to replace the existing file. Is there a switch or setting that I need to change?

Cannot open indd file in either CS5 or CS5.5

I downloaded CS5.5 on my laptop this afternoon. I then opened a CS5 file, worked on it, then saved. Now I cannot open the file in either CS5 or CS5.5. Is says InDEsign may not support the file format, the file is missing, or it is opened in anaother application. Does anyone know how I can open this file?

Just to be clear:
It won't open in either version. I created the file in CS5 (school computer lab), worked on it in CS5.5 (on my personal laptop connected through the server), then tried to open it on a school coputer using CS5. The file will not open.
Once you edit a CS5 file in CS5.5, it becomes a CS5.5 file and you will not be able to open it in CS5.
Make sure you are running the version you think you are, and don't double-click the file, but actually use File > Open from within InDesign CS5.5.

Need help moving photoshop files with layers

I have been having some trouble, when I attempt to move photoshop files with a CD-R disk, from my school pc to my home mac, only the top most image is moved. The layers are deleted, and I only receive the image on the background layer. I need the layers to continue working on the pieces. Would a flash drive transfer the whole file, or am I doing something wrong with the disk file?

Yeah, time is a factor because the system is getting wiped in a few days. The school version is photshop 7 I believe, and I have photoshop CS3 extended here. What I did was save the file to the CD burner, I didn't change the format to my knowledge. I thought that the data would have transfered from computer to computer, but it didnt, its like it saved as a different file entirely. I assume that using a flash drive would preserve the info in its entirety. I guess your saying that the type of file its saved as changes whether its a photoshop layers file, or just a flat image. I'll try again tomorrow.

I cant load .ant file with photoshop CS5 Extended version

I need to load a .ant file into photoshop cs5 please tell me how. When I simply double click it doesn't

I just Googled .ant and it seems ANT is a file extension used by SFR Calculator (formerly CalcANT). ANT files are used when saving the calculation data. No relation to Photoshop files at all. I strongly suspect that c.pfaffenbichler caught your typo. So:
Place your .atn file on your desktop.
Open Photoshop and shift it if necessary so that you can also see the .atn file on your desktop.
Choose Windows > Action You will see it as a panel.
Double click on the desktop's .atn. It should load to your Actions panel. If that doesn't do the job, choose Load Actions... from the Actions menu in its upper right corner.
