Indd will not update placed images that have type design changes from Ai

I am creating a book in Indesign ca4 and have placed hundreds of images from Illustrator cs4. These images have unconverted type in them. When i update the font (in FontExplorer X) the files  updates fine in Ai. However, when I go to the Indd file nothing changes. If i click on one of the images and relink then the updated font pops in. Now normally when I change anything else in an Ai file it automatically changes in the Indd file or at least shows that the file needs to be "updated".
The problem is that I don't want to spend hours clicking each graphic, going to relink find the file, etc. Also, the font change is mearly the same font with a different revision number and it is difficult to even see if the font has actually updated, I would be blind by the time I finished the process of updating each graphic and verifying that it actulally updated.
I do not want to convert the type to outlines, as this would cause even more time issues.
I don't understand how the this can happen without a red flag happening somewhere along the process, as the previous font that shows up in Indd no longer exists and the file is not embeded, or converted?

Peter, thanks for working on this for me I appreciate your heIp. I think what is happening is that when the font is updated it is not acknowledged by the Ai file until it is opened and resaved. Additionally, Ai does not change anything in a file that is resaved unless a change is made. So, what I had to do is open each Ai file and move or nudge some insignificant object or some other change to force an update, then resave the file. Also, if a change is made then undo is selected the file will not update it must be an actual change. Then it will update.

  • Lightroom does not automatically find images that have been moved within same parent folder/drive

    Lightroom does not automatically find images that have been moved within same parent folder/drive...I moved my catalog and photos to shared drive so that all users can access and when I moved photos within parent folder lightroom did not automatically adjust like in video I watched.  I had to manually locate.  Is there a fix for this?

    I haven't watched that video, but if you move photos in your operating system ... Lightroom does NOT automatically find these photos. Finding photos that have been moved is NOT a feature of Lightroom. So, there is no fix for this.
    You would have to tell Lightroom where the photos are now located, as explained in the link from 99jon
    If you must move photos, move them inside of Lightroom, not in your operating system, or better yet — don't move them, and use Lightroom tools such as keywords and other metadata to achieve organization.

  • Will not allow images on websites that it used to allow, for example, when trying to post on Craiglist, it will not show the images I have to copy in order for CL to approve my post

  • I have a hung up app that will not update or delete that drains the battery. How do you fix this?

    I chose to update a app. It says waiting under the apps icon but will not update. I click on it to pause the update but it still drains the battery. I try to delete the app but it won't let me. What can I do?

    Try the power off. Press home button and the on/off button at the same time for a few seconds. Then slide the tab to power off.
    Then press the on/off again after a few seconds. Once it powers on fully, tap and hold on the application to see if it will start wobbling with a x on the corner, if yes, delete it.
    If no, wait for someone else to suggest a better idea.

  • Mac Book Software Update not working, iTune will not update because of that, iPhone 4 won't connect to iTunes because iTunes is not updated. Mac v.10.5.8, iTunes v.10.5.2, iPhone4 iOS 6

    Mac Book Software Update not working (Software Update does not have any new software for your computer at this time), my current MacBook version is 10.5.8.
    As a result I can't update iTunes, version 10.5.2  (This software requiers Mac OS X version 10.6.8 or later)
    Now when I connect my iPhone 4, version iOS 6 iTunes can't connect to iPhone (The iPhone "XXXXX's iPhone" cannot be used because it requiers iTunes version 10.6.3 or later.)
    so in a nutshell can't use iphone 4, because iTune is not updated and will not  update because Mac Book is not up to date and will not update either.
    Please help.
    Thank you

  • Stock quotes will not update during market time, Have removed cookies and history. How do I remedy this?

    Stocks symbols will not update without closing and opening the portfolio or just clicking on the stock to get the real time quote.

    Only when i go to a different browser (like IE) after i clear it , then all that shows up is the pages i visited in IE , that is what bugs me , why is IE browsing history sowing up in Firefox ??
    Basically , i can clear the history in Firefox , and then for a example , go to Craigslist , using IE7 (launching it from a complete different Icon , in other words at that time i never open Firefox) , then after closing out , or even leaving open as it does not seem to matter , i go into Firefox , and hit History , and there is every place i visited in IE7 , on my History in Firefox

  • All of sudden the airport utility on the iMac will not recognize wireless devices that have on network for ever

    Airport Utility will not recognize any of the devices on the network - mix of Time Capsule, Airport Extreme, and Airport Express.  The network works fine.  If you use the Airport Utility on iphone you can see and configure all the devices.  Any clues?

    AirPort Utility version 6.0 is rather limited in its abilities. I suggest you download and install the more useful version 5.6 (for Lion): AirPort Utility 5.6
    You can see both wired and wireless clients in Advanced > Logs and Statistics.
    AirPort Utility 6.0 cannot be deleted but it will coexist with AirPort Utility 5.6.
    Use 6.0 when you want pretty pictures. Use 5.6 when you actually want to do something.

  • Firefox will not start up. I have tried many suggestions from your website and am now wondering if I should uninstall/reinstall? I have to use IE and am not happy about that..

    When I try to start Firefox it shows the little spinning circle for a few seconds and then nothing. It will not open now no matter how I try.

  • Isync will not login with new mobile me, need to change from .mac

    I have been trying to sync but my old .mac user name and password are not working now with mobile me. Shows that login is valid but I get an error message - There was a problem with the sync operation. .Mac login failed. I assume that I need to change the login address from .mac to a mobile me address. Any ideas out there? Apple has nothing on this problem.

    Patience. MobileMe is a mess.
    When Apple substantially modified .Mac Sync to support extended attributes available with the introduction of Mac OS X 10.5, and simultaneously dropped support for for the most part for Mac OS X 10.3.9, it was three weeks until normal service was restored. And even then, most of the issues individual users had with .Mac sync prior to the transition were still present.
    If you value your data, back it up and wait for an announcement from Apple that it works as expected.

  • Safari will not open any address that I type into address bar

    When I type an address into Safari's address bar Safari does not open that website, it does nothing. Also if I enter something in the search box Safari does not go to the Google site.

    Hi
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    You may have a corrupted preference file or Toolbar item.
    First, open Safari, hold down the option key, then click and drag the Address Bar off the top part of the browser window. It ought to disappear in a puff of smoke.
    Next, go to your View Menu>Customize Toolbar. There, you can drag a new address bar back up to the bar, as well as any other icons on the panel. Select "done".
    Now try entering an address. If that doesn't solve the problem, go to your Finder. In your User Account>Library>Preferences folder, move the com.apple.safari.plist file to the trash, then restart Safari. This step creates a new Safari preference file. You'll need to open Safari preferences to customize the settings to their previous state, unless you are satisfied with the Default settings.
    Try entering an address.

  • My lightroom 5.5 will not export jpg or any other type of photo from the original RAW/NEF uncompressed file.  I get a message saying there is a Win 32 "file missing."  I unistalled 5.5 and reinstalled 5.4 and it works fine.  What to do?  Anyone else have

    LRoom 5.5 does not export files under any circumstances.  I've chosen different locations; putting it in Lightroom NEF to JPG, putting it in another program, same conversion. 
    I get a "win 32 file missing.....".  I did not copy that message as it was not complete.  I uninstalled 5.5 and reinstalled 5.4 and it works just fine.  I didn't notice any difference to begin with.  Minor fixes for a few cameras and lenses.
    Not being able to export is a SERIOUS problem and its not with my computer.  If it worked for the last 3 years, it must be with 5.5.
    Any ideas?  Thanks for you input and help.  Also, how does one get Adobe to interact directly with its customers rather than having the blind leading the blind??
    Thanks

    99.9% (estimated) of Lr5.5 users are not having the problem you are (can't export).
    That said, for this type of problem, you may want to consider Adobe technical support instead of the forum - I prefer chatting..
    If you want some advice from a fellow blind user: try renaming your preferences file (and all other Lr data files if preference file doesn't make a difference, try a new catalog if still no luck). If still the same error, consider posting the rest of that error message - it could be you just need another "win 32" file not being installed by Lr installer, but without knowing the filename, it's kinda hard to say.........
    Preference and other file locations in Lightroom 5
    PS - the logic: "no problem til Lr5.5, so Lr5.5 code at fault" sounds good on the surface, but is surprisingly flawed - perhaps you should consider yourself lucky the other versions worked despite the potential for problem, rather than considering yourself unlucky that you got nailed when upgrading to Lr5.5 .

  • Ipad 2 will not respond to mail, using IOS7.0.4.  Also, will not update apps

    Two problems.  Ipad 2 wil not repond to open mail.  Receive Cannot Get Mail error.  The Ipad is using IOS 7.0.4. 
    Also, the apps will not be updated.  The system attempts to update apps but will not update.
    I received a jpeg via email from an Iphone 4 yesterday and I feel like that was when this issue occurred.  In addition, I saved it to my photos.  I deleted the email but not the photo that was saved.  I have tried shutting down numerous times.  Will work for a few minutes then happens all over again.  I have read some old posts that suggest signing out of Itunes account on Ipad, shutting down then starting back up and signing in to Itunes again.  A few apps updated but two others will not update at all.  System keeps attempting to update but nothing happens.

    Thank you.  I did the reset steps and the mail opened.  Tried the internet and no url's will open.  I am sending this to you from my macbook pro.  Went back to Mail after a few minutes to check if it will open again and I get the same error I did before resetting--Cannot Get Mail.
    Thank you.

  • Mail application will not update new messages

    Mail application will not update new messages

    If you have Webmail access you might check that, sometimes a malformed email can clog the system.
    Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
    Move this Folder to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
    Move this file to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
    Reboot.
    If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
