I'm new to indesign cs3... trying to make a book for art project,,,

i have cs3 & i'm trying to paginate my pages - i've cut the images up in photoshop so that when it's printed out i can bind it correctly.
when i try to place the jpgs or pdfs into InDesign, it won't let me do it. "place" isnt an option when i go to "file".
when i try to add an image, it wont let me select it.
what am i doing wrong?
should i have not done it in photoshop?
if not, how do i open up my scanned images in indesign? drag&drop doesn't work!!
HELP it's my final major project due in this week.:(

>yes i had created a new book document
Just to clarify. Making a new book is not actually making a new book, it's not acutally making a document at all. It makes a book palette in which documents (chapters, sections, etc.) of your book will be managed once you've made them and added them to the palette.
Just because you're making a book doesn't mean need to use the Book feature. Even very long books can be single documents (I just wouldn't advise it). The Book feature adds some functionality to long documents, but mainly it's just a good way to break them into manageable pieces to make them easier and safer to work in.

TS3297 Does anyone know how to reset your security questions?? I loaded an itunes gift card on new ipod but when trying to make a purchase, itunes is asking us the incorrect security questions?!(for 1st time purchase)

Does anyone know how to reset your security questions?? I loaded an itunes gift card on new ipod but when trying to make a purchase, itunes is asking us the incorrect security questions?! (for 1st time purchase) I know the questions are not what I chose because I wrote the questions & answers down when setting up the ipod. Any ideas??!!!

Reset Security Questions
Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
Manage My Apple ID
Or you can email iTunes Support at iTunes Store Support.
If all else fails:
1. Go to: Apple Express Lane;
2. Under Product Categories choose iTunes;
3. Then choose iTunes Store;
4. Then choose Account Management;
5. Now choose iTunes Store Security and answer the bullet questions, then click
      Continue;
6. Sign in with your Apple ID and press Continue;
7. Under Contact Options fill out the information and advise iTunes that you would
      like your security/challenge questions reset;
8. Click Send/Continue.
You should get a response within 24 hours by email.
In the event you are unsuccessful then contact AppleCare - Contacting Apple for support and service.
Another user had success doing the following:
I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
a. on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" >
      tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
b. Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select
      "done", in the upper right corner
c. sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the
      Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you
      should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the
      security questions.
d. At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and
      selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You
      should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security
      questions.
It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
Good Luck friends!

Hi Danny724,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
I would suggest updating your billing information in the iTunes application, signing out of your account and signing back in; and then trying to complete the purchase. If the issue persists, the iTunes Store Support Team can review your account with you.

Trying to make a book - iPhoto changing the order of my manually sorted album. Help?

I'm trying to make a book from an album.
I have manually sorted the photos in the album and wanted autoflow to fill the book in.
However, when I create a new book from the album, iPhoto seems to re-order the photos by one of the other options (eg: by date.) If I change that sort option under view - sort, and switch it to manual, it wants me to manually re-sort based on the previous setting. I have already done my sorting in the album. Is there a configuration I can do that will get iPhoto to recognise that manual album order?
(iphoto 11 v9.2.1)

The only solution I've seen reported is to change the dates of the photos using the batch change command with a increment so the date sort will be the same as your manual sort - you can search the forum for one of these posts - and I do not remember how they proposed to undo the date change

Trying to make a dvd from a project and this error message appears .The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (-2125)

Trying to make a dvd from a project and this error message appears .The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (-2125)

Hi
Error -2125
OK Error code - 2125 usually indicates that the movie is to large.
It use to pop up when going to iDVD !
iDVD - DO NOT CARE ABOUT Gbs at all. I got movies on 500Mb that do not fit and 50Gb that fits nicely.
iDVD - ONLY CARES ABOUT - Duration. Duration is Movie time + MENU TIME. Choice of
menu and animation of this can take lost of "DURATION" 15 minutes or even more.
Choice of encoding method and use of SL or DL DVDs determine the DVD limit.
iDVD 08 & 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities.
iDVD 6 has the two last ones
• Professional Quality (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST
• Best Performances (movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD
• High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
DL DVDs can store about double of these times.
ALTERNATIVE - The Error Code can indicate that free space on Start-up (BOOT) hard disk is
less than 25Gb (my minimum)

If you are getting OSStatus error -2125, I've seen this caused by the computer display sleep settings.
Try changing the sleep settings to never and see if you are able to export.

Set each day to repeat? Edit the event, and select repeat. You can set a custom repeat, if it's specific days and not specific dates, for instance.

Trying to make a book -- can't drag photos

So I just got iLife and I was messing around trying to make a book and I can't drag the pictures from the bar up at the top to the blank space in the book.
I don't know what's going on, or if anyone else is having this problem.
If anyone knows how to fix this I would appreciate it so much!
Thanks in advance for your help!

Adam:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. It's probably a problem with the font iPhoto uses, Helvetica Neue. Open Font Book and make sure it's installed. If it is, deactivate it and then reactivate.
If you don't have it installed use Pacifist to locate the font on your system install disk and install it.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

I'm trying to buy a book for two days by now. I tried in normal mode and in secure / safe mode - whenever I press the purchase-button nothing is going on! mac is ok, osx is ok, iPhoto is ok!

Thomas,
There are many similar reports since yesterday. The Apple Print Services seem to be down, see:
Re: Trying to buy book I created. When I hit "checkout" nothing happens. It's not like Apple to not want to make more money. Any ideas?
Try again later.

InDesign CS3 crashes when synchronizing a book

InDesign CS3 V5.02 repeatedly crashes (unkown software exception 0xc0000d) when synchronizing a book.
It does not matter if the book was created with CS3 or CS2.
If a book with several documents is opened with CS2, resynchronizing works as expected.
Opening the same book in CS3, it crashes about 5 seconds after invoking the command.
The problem occurs on two rather different PC's. The office PC is a Pentium D, 3,2GHz, 2GB Ram, new harddisk with a freshly installed Windows XP SP2 including all microsoft updates.
The other is my home notebook, a 4 year old Dell Latitude D800, Pentium M 1,6GHz, 1GB Ram.

After some testing I found a workaround.
If the Table of Contents is disabled in the synchronization options, ID does not longer crash.
so, the problem is no longer urgent for me.

New to Java and trying to make a game

I'm really new to Java so please try not to roll over laughing at the following code. At the moment, as you can hopefully pick up from the code, i'm trying to get a shape(Polygon) to respond to keyboard events and i'm trying to make the object primarily respond to the cursor keys and to move the Polygon in the corresponding directions of the cursors. I'm stuck and i think i have initialised everything but i can't get the shape to move. I'm pretty sure i'm missing required code in the paint method.

CS3 - Broken hyperlinks after Package Book For Print

I've posted a similar problem here a few weeks ago, but no answers, so hopefully I can get some help here with a more specific problem description...
I have created a an INDB, including several "chapter" INDD files, linked PNG images and hyperlinks to text and URL anchors throughout. Once I have everything complete, I select all the INDD files and do a "Package Book for Print", making sure the Preflight finds no problems, and then save the packaged INDB folder in a new directory on my local drive.
All works fine in the new INDB, EXCEPT that any hyperlink that points to a text anchor in a different INDD is broken.Apparently, the hyperlink is still pointing to the original INDD's absolute location rather than the new INDD text anchor within my newly packaged INDB. All Hyperlinks that point to a text anchor in the same INDD are fine.
I do not see any option to change this behavior. Strange though, that if I go to edit one of these "broken" hyperlinks, as soon as I choose the correct INDD that it should point to, then it correctly chooses the right link destination automatically in the edit dialog, so obviously it has stored the correct text anchor info, but just loses the document it should point to.
Is there any way to avoid this problem? It is a real pain to keep fixing hyperlinks every time a package my INDBs. I've heard some people use a 3rd party plugin to remedy this and other InDesign link problems (but I forget the plugin name). Suggestions??
Thanks!

Are you talking about what I said - "Seems like in the past, I saved a copy of my book, then packaged the copy for print?"
I thought that was the only way around it. I feel certain I will not make this mistake again. Luckily, most printers I work with prefer pdfs. It's just an insane bug. If it's not a bug, it's a major flaw in the program. People do package books. The option wouldn't be in there if we didn't do it sometimes.

I'm new to Indesign Cs3, but is Javascript the only way to apply.....

Is Javascript the only way to apply Numerous Paragraph styles that have already been establish to a document to apply autoamtically?

Hi,
There are many options to apply paragraph/character styles. When you are loading 'Tagged Text', InDesign will automatically apply these styles. If it's XML, we can apply the styles using the mapping option.
Can you pl. provide more details about workflow and your requirements to give clear idea.
Thanks,
Praveen

Thank you.

Here are some sites for learning html/css. Some sites are getting a bit old, I have not updated the link for the w3.org site yet. But this should point you in the right direction. And make sure your pop up blocker is on, some of these site will open a new window with an ad. I tried to mark as many as I could, but I may have missed a few.

Trying to make a DVD for my DVD player from iPhoto slideshow

I have made an iPhoto slideshow of 100+ photos and 4 songs (from iTunes). I'm now trying to convert that slideshow to a DVD I can send to others and watch on my TV's DVD player. I used "Send to iDVD". When the transfer was completed, iDVD opened and I could play the slideshow (although only the first song would play; the rest of the slideshow was silent). Specifically, what are the next steps to get this slideshow into a format that I can burn onto a DVD?

To get the highest quality images in your slideshow, create it in iDVD. Place your photos in one album and your 4 songs in a playlist. Create a new iDVD project, then click the + button and add a new slideshow. Inside the slideshow workspace, under Media/Photos locate the album with your photos and drag it to the slideshow pane. The photos will be in the same order as in your iPhoto album. In Media/Music locate the playlist and drag it to the slideshow sound button. You can have your photo titles and comments appear in your slideshow if you like. You can also have navigation buttons so the user can advance manually. Another feature is that you can include the image files on the DVD so that anyone with the DVD can load the photos into his computer.
Limitations: no Ken Burns effect, only one type of transition applies to the whole slideshow. Many DVD players can't read more than 99 chapters, so the slideshow may pause or even stop after 99 photos (in an iDVD slideshow each photo is a DVD chapter). To avoid this, you can divide your photos and create more than one slideshow.
Advantage: While you can export your iPhoto slideshow, the photo dimensions are a bit smaller than the slideshow created by iDVD (or so I've read). This is why many people prefer to let iDVD create the slideshow.
