I cant save files from Indesign CC

I instaled the New CC and now i can only save files directly to the desktop on my mac. If i try to put them in any folder they will not save and Indesign crashes. I am having the same issue with Photoshop & illustrator.

This doesn't sound like a known issue with InDesign and I cannot produce the issue on my end.
Have you tried resetting your InDesign preferences? If this doesn't work, how about launching the software under a new administrative user account?
see: FAQ: Trash, Replace, Reset, or Restore the application Preferences
As the issue persists cross products, something might've gone wrong during installation.
Please try the suggested steps first and see if they help. Thanks!

  • How to save down from InDesign Creative Cloud version to CS5? Have exported as .idml file but still get messages that plug-ins are missing although CS5 confirms it is fully updated.

    How to save down from InDesign Creative Cloud version to CS5? Have exported as .idml file but still get messages that plug-ins are missing although CS5 confirms it is fully updated.

    Yes. Thanks. I misled myself based on another post. Successfully did this by selecting "File," "Save a copy ..." then choosing "for CS4 or later (IDML)"
    It required some patience and several tries, but I think that was due to hardware (memory) being overloaded by CC Cloud version or something. It was a 50 MB, 500-page file and took 17 minutes to convert/save,
    Re-capping: from CCloud to CS5, don't use "Export" (to IDML); use "Save as" or "Save a copy" and select "for CS4 or later (IDML)".
    Advice much appreciated.

  • Hello, is there a way to export or save layers from Indesign to separate png or pdf -files?

    Hello, is there a way to export or save layers from Indesign to separate png or pdf -files? I have a Indesign document with serveral layers and I need them as separate png files.
    I know that is is possible with Illustrator but can't find it for Indesign.
    Thanks a lot.

    The script Peter's noting is in #122 here:
    how to export indesign layers to photoshop layers (same structure)
    It is OSX only and exports PDFs for creating Photoshop layers. The exported PDFs get trashed so if you can use AppleScript I can edit out the Photoshop part post a version that only saves the PDFs

  • Can I use my time capsule to back up or save files from my pc?

    My time capsule works great with my 2 Macs.   I just got a PC and would like to know if I can use the time capsule to back up or save files from my PC?

    You can.. but obviously PC is missing TM.. so you will need to use a backup software.
    Saving files to the TC is not really recommended.. but as long as you have lots of space is unlikely to cause problems.. the whole idea of TM though is to keep incremental backups on an hourly basis and will slowly fill the TC.. once space is short.. it can get messy.
    Also read Pondini who is positively against using it for other files.
    http://pondini.org/TM/TCQ3.html
    I suggest you read .. skim at least the FAQ so you actually understand what TM - TC is all about.
    A USB drive plugged into the PC makes a better backup
    1. It is formatted NTFS, ie native format and readable by any windows computer. A TC is a network device.
    2. USB drives are cheap. You can use 2 of them and store one offsite.
    3. USB traffic is not on the network.
    4. Storing files on the TC is bad as it is a backup target not itself backed up.
    5. In a pc you can add drive after drive after drive.. (assuming a desktop since you didn't say laptop). Only a Mac Pro can do that in the Mac world.. internal drives are cheaper than a. USB drives, b. network drives. And they are 10x or more faster.

  • PDF Bookmarks - Change Default Width When Creating PDF File from InDesign

    When creating a PDF file (from Indesign CS4) I automatically create the PDF bookmarks based on the InDesign document's Table of Contents.
    But by default the width in the bookmarks is always set at "Fit Page".
    Is there a way to change the default to "Fit Width" in Indesign before the PDF is created?
    It's too much trouble to change every bookmark in the PDF after it's created.
    Thanks for any help in advance!

    Thanks, Steve. I have actually previously done what "fogharty" suggests and it does work if I want to set the pages to "fit width" or a variety of other options. However, none of the options is inherit zoom which is what I, and many other from the sound of the thread, need and want. We want to respect our end users--not dictate how they must view our PDFs. Hopefully, Adobe will listen and make this option available soon.

  • PDF Files from InDesign to larger

    Hi
    I just upgrade my acrobat pro to 9.3.3. And im running Snow leopard.
    So - now the ps (print postscript) option is also gone for me.
    I have som old files from indesign, i printet at ps file and used my
    distiller to make the pdf file.
    Result = 168 kb
    If i export this from indesign, CS4
    I use same distiller settings
    Result = 860 kb.
    If i export this from indesign, CS4
    I now use smalles file settings
    Result = 290 kb.
    WHY is it not possible to make smaller pdf files direct from indesign.
    Also Press files get very large.

    Here's an article explaining some of the things stripped from your document when you use Distiller, compared to the Export function in inDesign

  • How do i save files from mac pro to an external hard drive

    how do i save files from mac pro to an external hard drive

    Your external drive is formatted NTFS which OS X can read from but not write to. You can either install third-party software on the Mac to enable writing to the drive or repartition and reformat the drive for exclusive use with the Mac. If you don't need to move files between a Mac and a PC, then I would recommend the latter solution.
    Tuxera NTFS 2012.3.2
    NTFS for Mac OS X 9.5.3
    To repartition:
    Drive Preparation
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select the external hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

  • Cant move files from previous saved CD to desktop or anyplace else

    Help -- I cant move files from previous saved CD to desktop or anyplace else
    I don't know when this started but it was two days ago I noticed this. I have changed all the permissions in info to allow me to have read write access to all my hardrives(2) which are both segmented. May have started when I put in the second HD and now I have three systems installed.
    I did erase the com.apple.recentitems.plist -- which did not do anything.
    I was able to send a copy of the file from my CD via iCHat with no problem.
    Originally it would not allow me to move any files even on the harddrives. Not it seem related to the CD's

    this was related to Leopard refusing to give me administrative rights

    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.

  • Cant save file

    "cant save file *.psd because write access was not granted" anybody knows how to solve this???

    I have the same issue. When I save a file in a different format "as copy" and then try to save the original document I get all kinds of weirdness. Many times I have lost the layers of my .psd file because the Creative Cloud somehow gets confused and flattens the layers in my psd file just like the JPG or PDF that I saved it "Save As". When I go back to the PSD file later all of the layers are flattened. I know it is not user error because I get that weird "write access not granted" or sometimes "file path is not valid" and that makes me nervous so I save and double-save my work as PSD with the layers intact. Nonetheless they are later found to be gone.

    If by "goggle" you mean the Google Chrome browser, then make sure its allowed to use the Camera Roll under Settings->Privacy->Photos, and make sure Chrome is turned on there.
    If that's not it perhaps explaining in a bit more detail what you are doing, and what happens when you try to save a picture?

  • Script command to Save File From Portfolio

    This is the script command to save as, app.execMenuItem("SaveAs")
    What's the script command to Save File From Portfolio?
    Do you know?

    Hi,
    We were looking for that before: Exporting XFA PDF from within Portfolio
    Paul exposed the menu items and while I was hopefully that app.execMenuItem("ExtractFilesFromPackage"); would work - but it didn't.
    It transpires that only a few of the app.execMenuItem commands are unrestricted and available.
    So we continue to use the "open"button on the top right of the portfolio to open the file out of the portfolio:
    I think you are stuck with that,

  • Exporting files from InDesign to correct size

    Hi,
    Hope someone can help. I create multiple ads for many publications and have joboptions set up for each. Brill, saves loads of time!
    However, some require the ad to be cropped to bleed size but still include crop marks. How can I export a PDF to the correct size (trimmed to the bleed size with crop marks but without the white space you always get?!). For instance, can you specify the length of the crop marks to make them shorter or just specify the correct trimmed size without the white space?
    At the moment I have to specify a bleed of 10mm when exporting from InDesign and then crop 7mm off all round to leave 3mm of bleed in Acrobat with the crop marks (albeit small) remaining on the document.
    The ads are delivered via adsend so if they don't pass the specs, they are automatically rejected (gone are the days when someone REAL checked them over – sigh!)
    Please, please, has anyone got a solution?!!
    I'm using CS5 and Acrobat 9 Pro.
    Oh, and I can't seem to print a postscript file or PDF anymore since we got a new crappy printer!

    You cannot export from Pages to ID, though you could export to RTF and use File > Place... to import the thext, but you'd need to rebuild the layout.
    Placed PDF is essentially a graphic, so your pixelation may just be the default preview quality. Try View > Display Performance > High Quality Display (and you can set this as the default in the prefs). Keep in mind, though, that the imported PDF is not editable in ID.
