Images disappear out of Links palette

I have an InDesign document, one of several that were created from scratch. I just discovered that in this document over half the images are now not listed in the Links palette. I placed the images (tifs) originally using Place.
Clicking on images, which appear normally on the page, using either selection tool does not make the name appear in the palette.
If I use the Package command, it does not copy the missing images. The Preflight command does indicate that there are "embedded" images (but of course doesn't give me the names so I can't easily go back and find/relink them!). There ARE 11 images in the document (Tifs and a few .psd images) that are appearing as normal in the palette.
So far none of the other similar documents I've worked on over the last month or so have this problem. I tried resetting the prefs and removing/recreating the Cache files. (house/Library/Cashes/AdobeInDesign.
Any ideas 1) how to fix; or 2) what happened, so I can avoid having it happen again?
How come this stuff always happens when you're on a big deadline?

Why not set up a good system to deal with file check-outs instead? We link directly to all of the graphics across the network, but the actual InDesign files that are going to be edited and saved are all edited locally after check-out.
Just my $.02 on the matter...
EDIT: Oops, I see you tried the INX export already! Were these files perhaps pasted directly into InDesign? If so, you can copy them out and save them as graphics and relink to the graphics, but otherwise they are just a part of the file.

Help!! My linked text file disappears from the links palette

I've set my preferences so that InDesign creates a link when placing text and spreadsheet files, and when I first place the file it appears in the Links palette just fine.
However, as soon as I make a change in the original text file, it disappears from the Links palette!
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I'm using CS2.
Thanks very much!

Just figured it out - Didn't notice that I wasn't setting the "Photo Credit" paragraph style. Problem solved!

Adobe Illustrator Links Palette, no image preview

Since updating to the latest version of Adobe Illustrator CC (2014.1.0 release, Illustrator 18.1.0) I don't get an image preview of selected linked images in my document. All of the information about the image shows up, but no image preview. I've checked the "links palette options" to make sure i have image preview selected, but still nothing. Anyone have any thoughts?

Hi Np,
Thank you for the picture. The Illustrator team is looking investigating this issue.
For the time being you may try to increase the size of the height of the Links panel so that it can display the linked/embedded files in the document/file.
With Best Regards,

Image Trace with Document Library palette feature - bug?

I've been trying out the different palette options in Image Trace and I believe I've come across a feature that does not work as the designers intended. In Adobe's documentation, there is very little said about the feature, which I believe is intended to allow you to substitute a custom palette for the palette that would be created by the original artwork that is being traced. It's under the Palette drop-down menu and is available if you've selected the Color Mode. It's called Document Library. In Adobe's documentation, there are these two paragraphs:
[Reproduced from http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/image-trace.html#tracing_options]
Palette
Specifies a palette for generating a color or grayscale tracing from the original image. (This option is available only when Mode is set to Color or Grayscale.)
To let Illustrator determine the colors in the tracing, select Automatic.To use the document swatches as a palette for the tracing, select Document Library.
This would be a great feature, if it worked! I have a lot of artwork to trace, it's all in a set yellow-to-green palette, and it would be a big time-saver if I didn't have to change the palette after the trace. Unfortunately, the feature doesn't work as promised. Either that, or I'm doing something wrong.
I've embedded a video to demonstrate the problem, and would appreciate any comments.

Do I really need to describe what I don't like about these results?
Since the original experiment, I have tinkered with it and discovered that the more colors I have in my palette, the better. I had three colors; it only used one of the three. With some settings changes I could get it to use two. With six colors, it used four. I was unable to get it to use all six.
I apologize for the poor quality of the original rendering of the video. I have since re-rendered it. Embedded below, but if you still cannot see what is going on, I recommend you click on the direct link and go to YouTube, where you will be able to either use the Large Player feature or make the video full-screen. Hopefully that will make it possible to see more detail.

Applying filter to s:bitmapImage makes images disappear!?

I wonder if anyone can help... I am attempting to apply a filter to s:bitmapImage but no matter if I do this in as3 or mxml as soon as i apply the filter the whole image disappears! I have tried this with different sorts of filter (dropshadow, glow) etc. but all do the same thing? Without any filter the image is show perfectly fine!
The source of my s:bitmapImage is generated programmatically at runtime and is linked via a binding...
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks,
Mark.

Links not showing in Links palette; InDesign CS3

Specs:
Version CS3
OS: XP Professional
Memory: 2gb
After running several searches I found an almost identical question in this forum, but an answer was not posted, plus they had an older version.
The link text (missing or not) is not showing up in the Links Palette. We have reset Preferences, by going to the actual location on the drive and removing them, forcing ID to recreate them on start up, but no luck. We always "Place" and never "Copy and Paste".
If we "Package", we can see a list of the Links as normal, it's just in the Links Palette where we're having problems.
Thanks for any help.

I'm not sure that's what Thomas is asking. It sounds to me more like he has an empty links palette (where he ought to be seeing links to images) than that all he has placed are text and spreadsheets, and his preference is to embed those.
Since prefs replacement isn't helping, and if I'm correct in my interpretation, I think the next step might be checking the video driver by turning off hardware video acceleration temporarily.

Name Case issue in Link Palette

I have imported couple of Links in InDesign CS6. All links are imported well. The issue is happened in case sensitive of links as described below.
1. I have imported the links with the naming convention as shown below.
     001_FlowerX1.jpg
     002_FlowerX2.jpg
     003_FlowerX3.jpg
     004_FlowerX4.jpg
     005_FlowerX5.jpg
2. I have renamed the links after imported into InDesign as shown below.
     001_flowerx1.jpg
     002_flowerx2.jpg
     003_flowerx3.jpg
     004_flowerx4.jpg
     005_flowerx5.jpg
Can you see the difference of the naming convention between points 1 & 2? There is a case sensitive difference.
InDesign Link palette does not show modified/missing links. The image status looks "OK" in the Link palette after change the original name in point 2.
I just wonder how InDesign does not show modified/missing links in the Links palette after changing the name. Attached screenshot of case sensitive difference in the links naming convention for your reference.
Anyone help on this issue to overcome and provide a solid solution of the same.

Is your Mac set up to use case-sensitive file naming? I'm not a Mac person, but my recollection is you have to go to some pains to format the drive for case-sensitivity.
If, in fact, you simply change the case without moving the files and you are not formatted for case-sensitivity I would expect ID to continue to recognize the files at the old locations and to update automatically the next time you open the document. If you change the names in Finder whiel the document is open I would expect to see a file modifcation warning, but not a missing file. I don't know why ID isn't updating the spelling, though. Perhaps it's because it doesn't matter.

How to get the image stored in archieve link as an attachment in work item.

Hi All,
through transaction OAWD we are storing scanned images.
Once this transaction is executed a workitem appears in the inbox of the initiator with the scanned invoice as attachment.
When the user executes the work item FV60 screen is displayed where the user enters the data based on the scanned invoice attachment.
After the user Parks the document the custom workflow triggers and a workitem appears in the inbox of an approver.
Our requirement is that the scanned image should also appear as the attachment.
Can you please suggest how to get the image stored in archieve link as an attachment in work item.
Regards
Shraddha

Hi Martin,
with every parked document a scanned image is linked.
I need to create a link under objects and attachments in the work item, such that when the user clicks that link the image is displayed.
At present the following functionality is available.
The BO used is FIPP
Objects and attachments:
parkeddocument:AK0108500001252008.(via FIPP binding with WIOBJECT_ID)
On clicking the link below objects and attachments: the parked document AK0108500001252008 opens in display mode.
Now we want to have 2 links:
parkeddocument:AK0108500001252008.
image.
When we click on the link image then the scanned invoice linked to the document should get opened.
I am able to get the image id of the the image through SAP_WAPI_GET__OBJECTS,
export parameter leading_object provides the detail.
But I am not able to figure out how to use it in my workflow to display it as an attachment.
Hope this will give a better understanding of my question.
can you please suggest as to how I should proceed with it.

When exporting my Indesign Layout with Images, the images disappear ?

When exporting my indesign layout the images disappear once exporting as a PDF print.
I have had several information bubbles appear claiming I need to alter my blend space due or colour settings ?
I have altered the blend space to rgb and still it does not work.
I have also unlocked all the layers in attempt for this to work.
My assignment is due in tomorrow and still I cannot get this feature to work
any help would be great !

CharlieLDavis1992 wrote:
When in preview mode they do not appear either.
If you understood my question and the images also disappear in InDesign when switching the screen to Preview mode, or Overprint Preview, that means they are set to non-printing in some way. Either they are on a layer set to non-printing, or they're set to non-printing on an individual basis in the Attributes panel.
>I am using the latest OS,
Not really helpful. OS X? Windows? Probably not relevant, as it turns out, for this problem, but you should be specific.
>The pdf appears in preview
Does that mean you are trying to use Mac Preview to view the PDF? If so, it may give you bad results. Mac Preview is not a godd general-purpose PDF viewer and is incapable of rendering complex PDF.
The first error dialog you show is what you would get when opening a file in ID that has different document color spaces than the default settings in your color settings file. That's not a problem, and to preserve the color appearances you would leave things as they are.
The second warning dialog indicates you are making an interactive PDF, which is RGB. If you are using CMYK images I don't think you'll avoid color shifts no matter what you do if you have transparency, but I don't do interactive PDF, so I can't give good advice here. If you are using RGB images, by all means your transparency blend space should be set to RGB.
Can you post a screen shot of the export dialog?

Problems with images greyed out. Downloaded folder not showing up in Left Panel

Downloaded folder and it showed up in Lightroom. Next day images greyed out Folder doesnt show in Left Panel. Lightroom says no images to Import. What do I do?

Thanks so much dj for your response. Unfortunately I did start in the Library module and the folder wasn't there to click on. It was really strange, but the usual 'Previous Import' link wasn't showing anything! That's why I tried to reimport.
If the folder doesn't show in your Library module, then you probably (accidentally) imported the photos using the MOVE option instead of the ADD option. You have to search for the desired photos by file name, and NOT by folder. Perform all of the following 4 steps, and you will find your photos
Go to the Catalog Panel on the left in the Library Module and click on All Photographs
Turn off all filters (Ctrl/Cmd-L once or twice)
Expand all Stacks (Photo->Stacking->Expand All Stacks)
Search by file name

Cd image disappear again!!

Hi folks,
Earlier, cd images disappeared when it tried mounting in finder/itunes, but it got solved when osx 10.6 updated to 10.6.3 or 2, cant remember. But anyway, after itunes came with the new update, Ive got the same problem. Anyone experiencing the same? Im ripping in my own cds to itunes, and I did 5 cds and the last disappeared. So if I restart my mac, it will show up and after 4/5 new cds, it disappears again. Same old stuff.
By the way, I experience so much troubles with itunes 10.. If I scan artwork for the cds, it wont import using the cmd+i. Only one jpg will stay imported. And I cant go back to itunes 9, cause then it mess up my iphone sync. Apple please fix this issues with disappearing cd images and artwork bugs

Apple has a tech note about using hubs for itune sync.
I'll post a link when I find it.
If having a problem don't use it or try another hub.
A powered hub should have an external power dongle- check it is working and plugged in. The hub can still work even if the dongle is not there but the USB cables will have less DC power.
Remember the USB cables have power AND data lines and the problems is the DATA lines.
Using longer cables or EXTENDER cables and a hub or even the supplied APPLE dock will cause data corruptions. EVERY connection in a USB line will cause a reduction of quality in high speed USB cable. A hub can add a lot of electrical noise.
example : A 6 foot USB extender cable -- the Apple Ipad cable -- the Apple Ipad DOCK --- The Ipad = NO sync
NOW remove the extended cable or the DOCK from this line and sync will work
The Ipad might be a bit sensitive to USB noise or the supplied Apple cable could use some more shielding ( it does look thin ).
