How do I change the InDesign scratch disk?

I have InDesign installed on an SSD with an HDD for data. My Windows 8 page file is on my HDD. I've changed the document recovery folder in InDesign to the HDD, but whenever I try to export a complex indd to make a print PDF it fills my SSD and crashes. I do NOT want InDesign constantly writing to my SSD, but I can't seem to find an option to move the scratch disk location. Help?

See http://forums.adobe.com/message/4705644#4705644
There are two different discussions entwined, but one of them involves a small ssd and moving the user profile. ID uses the temp file in your user profile for scratch and as far as I know you cannot specify a new location for that the same way you can for recovery. The usual method of changing the environment variable does not work.

  • How do I change the preview cache disk?

    I keep seeing statements such as "there is nothing to stop
    you from locating the preview cache on another disk". Um.. there is a problem.
    I find no option to do it anywhere. In catalog settings it only "Shows" the location and does not allow changing it.  Am I missing something? I have looked and looked and the process is described nowhere. It is very frustrating because I can find these things on my own quite readily and in LR its totally buried if its possible at all.
    Also;
    How can I change the default camera calibration from the ACR 4.4 to Adobe standard ?  The first thing I have to do after every import is go back and sync to a different camera profile.
    Thanks in advance for any help

    In order that you can change the camera default profile you must be in the Develop module then change the profile to Adobe Standard. Next, choose Default Settings from Develop module. When the dialog appears you should click on Update to Current Settings...
    It's not possible to change the location of the library preview cache because it must be in the same folder as the catalog. However, changing the Camera Raw preview cache (used by Develop module) location is done through Preferences. The following screen shot shows you where to make the change.

  • How  do I change the Win7 boot disk under BootCamp?

    I have been getting warnings that my Window7Pro64 hard disk may crash.  I bought a new disk.  Installed it in my Mac Pro. Set up the partitions and cloned my boot disk to the new disk.  At the end of the process of creating the clone, the software will shut the computer down.  I am instructed to enter the Bios in order to assign the Clone disk as the new 'boot' disk.
    Since I am running under Boot Camp I am wondering if I need to follow another procedure?  I am inquiring before the cloning process has completed, so I haven't tried rebooting into Bios...
    Thanks for any insight...!
    Jim

    So, Mr. Hatter...
    You have raised some additional questions:
    1.  Will Boot Camp now support Windows 8?
    2.  On the Windows side of Boot Camp I have installed Acronis software to clone my old boot disk (500GB) to a new clone disk (1TB).  That cloning process worked.  I rebooted to the Mac side.  I chose Boot Camp and chose to reboot into Windows 7 using the new clone disk.  Windows booted up.  It appears to me that I now have two Windows bootable disks.  Is this correct?  Does this create any potential problems?
    3. On the Mac side of Boot Camp, I have installed Carbon Copy to clone my old boot disk (500GB) to a new Clone disk (1TB).  That cloning also appears to have worked.  It appears I now have two bootable disks on the Mac side, too.  Any problems with that?
    4. Inside my MacPro my 4 drive bays are currently assigned disks in the following order (reading from the left side of the compartment): Drive Bay 1: MacBoot (500GB); Drive Bay 2: WinClone (1TB); Drive Bay 3: MacClone (1TB); Drive Bay 4: WinBoot (500GB).  The reason I ask is because when I go into Acronis / Carbon Copy they report the disks as Primary Master / Primary Slave; and Secondary Master / Secondary Slave without regard to their physical locations.  This is suggesting the master / slave relationship may need to be maintained physically - in which case my allocation of disks to bays would be incorrect.  Any insight on this topic may reduce my anxiety that I could be causing a disk failure (I had a new 1TB disk indicate a mechanical failure and replaced it with the current, new MacClone (1TB) disk.  It is in the same bay relationship.  This got me thinking... is it possible to have a Mac disk as Primary Master and a Win disk as its Primary Slave?  If so, what damage might result).
    In any case, at the moment, everything seems to be functional on both sides (Mac & Win).  However, I rarely come out of these exercises with a complete sense of security that I have done everthing correctly...
    5.  Should I still run CHKDSK?  How do I invoke it?
    6.  What is NVRAM and how do I invoke it?  Does it apply to both Win & Mac?
    7.  Still boot from Win7 DVD and run system repairs?
    Sorry to burn your ears, but its on my mind and since you guys have sooo... many 'help' points I figured I tapped into serious capabilities I should not pass up!
    Thanks, again

  • My mac disk is full and i cant transfer files from Mac to USB. saying the format is not good, how can i change the format and what happened to the files i have on USB?

    my mac disk is full and i cant transfer files from Mac to USB. saying the format is not good, how can i change the format and what happened to the files i have on USB?

    Once something similar happened to me. The external drives I had set up for FCP to use for some reason were not mounted, and FCP put all its render files on the main drive and I couldn't find them anywhere.
    Go to applications, and control-click (and hold down) on your FCP icon; you should get a pop up menu that says "show package contents". Select that, select the "contents" folder, then the "mac OS" folder. See if your quicktime file is in there, or if you've got render files in the "render" folder or audio render files in the "audio render" folder that don't belong there.
    That's where FCP sticks stuff when your documents FCP project folders are not available or when external drives you've selected aren't available.

    If you did not get an OS X install-restore DVD with the computer you may need
    to buy one from somewhere, and you may be lucky to get a retail OS X 10.5.x
    version. The original grey-label install set of software and OS X it shipped with
    likely would be an older system than Leopard 10.5. Last versions of G4 Mac, &
    G5, shipped with a Tiger 10.4 system; so did early Intel-based Mac. Grey discs
    which accompanied other computer build models generally do not interchange.
    The last OS X version a PowerPC architecture can use, if supported, is 10.5.8.
    A PPC processor at 867MHz & faster should be able to run OS X 10.5 Leopard.
    {With the correct disc installer, you can use it to change a password and other
    things including re-install, and perform disk utility functions, etc.}
    There is a chance you may be able to get a white-label Replacement 10.4 DVD
    or Replacement 10.5 DVD from AppleCare or the online Apple Store (800myapple)
    from a Mac OS X system specialist; these have been available yet hard to get
    as not all persons involved with them seem to know if they still exist until someone
    is asking. These aren't retail stock, are special discs for computers who could use
    a system later than original old discs; these are complete install discs not for one
    specific series of Mac. Generally they'd work in supported PowerPC G4/G5; but
    do not replace specialized original install DVD, such as an early Intel mac requires.
    You'd need to have a serial number of the computer, and a method of payment
    when seeking some replacement system media from Applecare or Apple sales
    and these discs are not available in a retail store. The original Retail discs are
    labeled differently and shipped in a retail box with a big X on the front. Other
    sources for retail 10.4 Tiger or 10.5 Leopard may be online via amazon sellers
    or computer resellers who handle repaired Macs. Avoid mystery grey label ones
    that were intended to be sold and kept with their original computer kits.
    Good luck!

  • How can i change the color of the text on a button in Roll Over or Click state (Cs5.5)

    Hello,
    Here is the problematic:
    1° How can i change the color of the text on a button in Roll Over or Click state (Cs5.5)
    - I've many button in a doc im creating
    - the color of the buttons is white with black stoke & black text
    - in roll over state i want them to inverse the color coding (the text white & bottom black)
    - currently the text becomes invisible as black on black cant be seen (ive stroked it white but that looks ugly)
    - i would just like to know if there is a function made for this?
    My other questions:
    2° Ive a presentation on which Ive created buttons which tigger pop-up animations
    - i have 5 buttons which trigger animations
    - the viewer can chose to Click on any of the buttons randomly
    - the problem is once the animation is open how can it be close... either:
    a) by it self after "40" seconds
    b) when ther viewer clicks another button
    3° Ive created buttons linking pages..
    - "go to page xxx"
    - when i do a preview and click on the buttons the links dont take me to the right pages
    - is that normal? (maybe in preview its suppose to be like that)
    4° I would like to intergrate YouTube videos in the presentation so they play inside the docment.. when i tried.. it said the 'link isnt a flash video'
    - what should i do?
    5° Once i export it into Swf. how how can i visualize it? or put it online?
    Thank you for your time.

    You should setup Object Styles - these can also include Paragarph Styles that can be triggered when the Style is selected.

    - when i do a preview and click on the buttons the links dont take me to the right pages
    - is that normal? (maybe in preview its suppose to be like that)
    Does it work properly when you export it to the finished file?
    4° I would like to intergrate YouTube videos in the presentation so they play inside the docment.. when i tried.. it said the 'link isnt a flash video'- what should i do?
    InDesign won't link directly to youtube videos. I think your best bet would be to use Downloader to download the video and embed them directly in Indesign.

    You can look up how to embed a SWF file into your HTML - but it depends what you mean by "online" there's a dozen ways to get a file "online".

  • How can I change the default  driver to OracleXADataSource in JDeveloper

    Hello,
    How can I change the default oracle driver: oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver to oracle.jdbc.xa.client.OracleXADataSource in JDeveloper Studio Edition Version 11.1.1.0.2, Build JDEVADF_MAIN.BOXER_GENERIC_090328.0229.5205.
    If I modify the file connections.xml from jdeveloper\system\system11.1.1.0.31.52.05\o.jdevimpl.rescat2\connections in the sense that I change the driver class, then in JDeveloper when I test my connection I have this problem: Test failed: oracle.jdbc.xa.client.OracleXADataSource cannot be cast to java.sql.Driver
    Why do I need this XA version of the oracle driver? Well I tried, from a book to reproduce the model of an application: entities, stateless and stateful session beans, mdb, web services and a client to test one part of the model.
    And because of the JMS server I need an XA driver.
    I deployed to the integrated wls 10.3 and when I test my client, if I use the default driver for the connection the an error message appears tell me either to emulate two-phase commit or to use XA driver.
    My application works very well, if I configured in the console of the integrated wls 10.3 a datasource with the same name as my ide/application connection that has for the Driver Class Name: oracle.jdbc.xa.client.OracleXADataSource in the Connection Pool tab.
    Thank you.

    Open DIsk Utility and in the toolbar select Disk Image. The file selector will open and you'll have to do three things: 1) just as with any file, name it and point the file selector to where you want it to be saved, 2) near the bottom you'll see name - type iWork 2013 and 3) below that select the image size. Click on size, choose custom and type 1500 MB then click on the Create button.
    Some time will pass and then you'll see an external disk pop up on your desktop and/or the Finder window sidebar. Drag the three programs into it and eject it like any other external disk. Now delete the programs from your applications window.
    Where ever it was you pointed the file selector to you'll see the file you created. Double click on it and the disk image will mount again.

  • Cant restore after installing updates how do I change the home user/account

    I installed 3 updates, opps, this morning, and when I restarted the computer it had reverted back to old setting from 2004. I purchased the computer from a friend, and had worked hard to remove his stuff, now my settings mail etc are gone and the old stuff is back. How do I restore the computer to what it was before the updates took it all off? also how do I change the home from his back to ours? sorry, I am new at this and very very frustrated with the mac so far.

    Changing the home folder name caused the problems, not the updates. The problems won't show up until you restart, which, in your case, was just
    after the updates. See:
    <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107854>
    <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106824>
    When you get a used computer, it is safest to erase the disk (with zeroing option), then reinstall OSX, update it, and get the latest versions of all the software you need. You should also run Extended Tests from the Apple Hardware Test disc to be sure there are no hardware problems.

  • How can I change the installation path  of JWS?

    I have to install the JRE 1.4.0_01 in silent mode on Windows XP. For the JRE I can set the installation path in the corresponding dialog and record it in an *.iss file. When starting the silent installation the JRE is correctly installed into this path but the Java Webstart installation procedure doesn't care about this path and installs JWS in 'D:\Programme\Java Web Start'.

  • How do I change the admin password on my MacBook pro

    I have forgotten my password and I don't want to wipe my hard drive how do I change the password?
    I have done the following:
    Rebooted selected a language, it then went right back to the installer but there was no change password as an option.
    Under disk utility it was not high lighted.

    First, make sure caps lock is not on.
    Another reason why your password might not be recognized is that the keyboard layout (input source) has been switched without your realizing it. At the login screen, you can cycle through the available layouts by pressing the key combination command-space or command-option-space. See this support article.
    You must back up all data before continuing, unless you've already done so. If you need to back up but can't log in, ask for instructions.
    If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    Otherwise*, boot into Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
    *Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead these instructions.

  • How do you change the direction of a Tween Wipe effect

    Hi all,
    Completely new to the forums and I hopefully my query is straight forward.  How do you change the direction in the pre-built tween effects available within Flash CS3 (primarily the Wipe effect).  Example code:
    var Animate_Box:Tween = new Tween(Box, "height", Strong.easeInOut, 0, 200, 1, true);
    OR
    var Animate_Box_2:Object = {type:Wipe, direction:Transition.IN, duration:1, easing:Strong.easeInOut};
    TransitionManager.start(Box_2, Animate_Box_2);
    Many thanks in advance.
    Kam
    ANSWERED:
    Sorry for posting something so pointless!
    You simply add 'startPoint:5' onto the end i.e.
    var Animate_Box_2:Object = {type:Wipe, direction:Transition.IN, duration:1, easing:Strong.easeInOut, startPoint:5'};
    TransitionManager.start(Box_2, Animate_Box_2);
    startPoint:5' = can be any number depending on the direction of the Wipe you want.
    Thanks,
    Kam

    What you really want is a way of automatically mirroring the the X and/or Y coordinates of the keyframes within the effect. This ability would be very useful.
    But right now there's no way to do that. You'd have to do it manually. That effect actually uses the Slide parameter to generate the movement (instead of a discreet X/Y coordinate for the position.) Changing the first keyframe value of the Slide parameter to a negative number still doesn't give the effect I think you're looking for.
    So, it's probably easier to just rebuild the effect the way you want it from scratch.
