How can I get Indesign CS6 to open JPG/PNG files?

I recently purchased Indesign CS6. When I went to import a PNG, it failed to recognize it. I then tried a JPG to no avail. The exact error message reads as follows:
"Cannot open the file "photo.png". Adobe Indesign May not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be in another application."
How could the plug-ins be missing? Wouldn't these be installed with Indesign? Any advice as to how to proceed?.
Thanks in advance.

You need to use the file>place command.
This is very, very basic and I'd respectfully suggest that you take a step back and learn a bit about the program. This link will get you a free one week trial of Lynda.com where you'll find some fabulous video training: http://bit.ly/RS0GXs

How can I get InDesign CS6 to work when it keeps crashing in Windows 8.1?

Hello,
I keep having a problem where InDesign CS6 shuts down unexpectedly, only after I've kept it open for a brief while.
The error message is:
"Adobe InDesign CS6 has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
close program."
Has anyone out there encountered this?
Any idea on how to fix it? I was prompted by Adobe Update Manager to have updates installed recently. Photoshop CS6 seems to be working ok (I have Creative Suite Standard CS6)
Thank you.

What are you doing when the program shuts down? Is CS6 patched to 8.0.2?
Have you tried setting the compatibility mode to Windows 7 or Windows XP?
Do you have any non-adobe plugins installed, like a font activation plugin?
Have you tried trashing the prefs? See Replace Your Preferences

It should be much easier to re-link in the Pagemaker file, as, with any luck, you can get the filenames from the Graphics Manager. After conversion to InDesign, any out-of-date linked images get their names converted to something like "image 123.jpg", and are themselves converted to an embedded low res representation of the image. Even vectored art. Pretty hard to figure them out, unless you are VERY familiar with the file, which you may be.
It may be that any cropping gets lost, too? I do prepress work, we do some set up for our customers, but most comes in pretty much ready to go, so I don't often have to did too deep into fixing such issues. On the other hand, any problem that can happen has probably crossed my desk, or it seems that way some days!

I bought and downloaded some music off of the internet on my laptop that uses Windows 8. How can I get my music to open automatically in my itunes instead of opening in the music app (the orange sqaure with headphones)? Currently I have had to often downloads and sift through all my files to find the ones I want to open into itunes, and it's irritating.

Media is only where the user puts it.
Installing iTunes does not and has never caused media to magically appear on the computer.
Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer (or backup of the old computer) to the new computer.

How can you get your ipod touch open when you forgot the password and its disabled and not connected to wifi

How can you get your iPod touch open when you forgot the password and its disabled and not connected to the Internet Connection and you don't want to reset it.

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

How can I get a book to open that is downloaded on my Ipad 3, I have uninstalled, reinstalled. Held the turn off button and home button down to reboot, nothing has helped.

How can I get a book to open in my nook app, it downloaded, and installed, it just want open, I have never had this problem before.

This is entirely my complaint.
I have to sit without useable internet for 5 days when there is no fault, before anyone does anything about it ? BT visit the village to do something for another customer, mess up my perfectly working broadband, and then refuse to do anything about it for 5 days. And I pay full price during that time. Let's just hope they don't come back to do something else within those 5 days !!!
There isn't a fault with the line, it is perfectly stable. I just need somebody to use common sense and set the IP profile back to what it was.
If the system is so clever, it could at least try moving off 135k to 512k say after an hour or so.
I will try using that link though and see if somebody can do something !!
Frustrated is not the word ! If I ran my business like this I'd have no customers left. I'm pretty sure that's not the first time somebody has posted that on here

How can I get Mac mail to open winmail.dat attachments on lion 10.7.3

How can I get Mac mail to open letter attachments winmail.dat?? (Lion 10.7.3) Any help appreciated...

Sorry peterskine,
it's true in part. There's more then one article on the subject "Recipients receive a winmail.dat attachment":
http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/outlook-help/recipients-receive-a-winmail-dat- attachment-HA010153018.aspx?CTT=1
The odd thing is that my colleague and me use the same release mountain lion and we received the same email from someone on Outlook2007. He received the mail with the attachment, whilst I saw a "Winmail.dat". It already happened to me on snow-leopard, some month ago. Up til today I don't know what the difference between our machines is.
But it is interesting: the same OS, the same mail-clients (Apple Mail) and still different results.
Note: on my machine it used to work properly. It just suddenly happened that I started to receive winmail.dat files in stead of proper attachments.
When I have more time on hand, I cant try to find out why this happens.

How can I get Elements 11 to open up in Organizer rather than Editor?

How can I get Elements 11 to open up in Organizer rather than in Editor?

Well, you can go to Window>Welcome and make your change there, but the welcome screen leaves a process always running, so you would do better to go into the Program Files or Program Files (x86) in windows or the applications folder on a mac and find the actual .exe/application for the organizer and make a desktop shortcut/dock icon and use that in the future to launch the organizer, avoiding the welcome screen entirely.

How can I get Win 10 to open to my prefered user account?

How can I get Win 10 to open to my prefered user account? It insists on going to my Administrative account.

Hi,
We could click the Back button beside the account Picture, then the screen would list the account available on this PC:
After that, we could choose the account we want to use.
Another way is to enable this policy:
Interactive logon: Do not display last user name
If this policy is enabled, the full name of the last user to successfully log on is not displayed on the Secure Desktop, nor is the user’s logon tile displayed;
If this policy is disabled, the full name of the last user to log on is displayed, and the user’s logon tile is displayed.
Press Win +X, then open the Run box, type Gpedit.msc, when opening the Local Group Policy Editor, navigate to the following path:
Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options
On the right pane, find the above policy and then enable it.
More information about that policy, please see:
Interactive logon: Do not display last user name

How can I get photoshop elements to open my nef images?

How can I get photoshop elements to open my nef images?

The D3200 requires at least ACR 7.1, which isn't compatible with any version of PSE prior to PSE 11, so no, you can't do this directly in PSE 9.
You could upgrade PSE, use the Nikon software to convert the files and then open the resulting images into PSE for further editing, or download the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your NEFs to DNG files that your version of PSE can understand.

Hello, I have been experiencing similar problems and followed the suggestion and yes, the raw icon comes up as illustrated but there is nothing there to indicate any further action can be taken. So I am presuming that means it is installed and no further action required?
Here's my problem: I have had no problems getting my pics into my organiser in Elements 12 from either my Nikon D7100 or my Fujifilm X100S - until last week. Suddenly when they are imported all I see is the timer icons but they don't open to let me view them. If I click on one it will open and I can then edit it but it will not save an image onto the grid for me to view so it's really frustrating not being able to view all my photos in order to decide what to edit and compare them.
Here's what action I've taken so far - restarted the computer (endlessly), checked the updates and installed them, checked I have the latest raw plug in (I do) and gone into edit/update thumbnail (doesn't do a thing) - and torn out a fair amount of my hair. So anyone out there experienced this and can give me some advice? Please?
