InDesign CC 2014 tool palette missing

Mac Book Pro with 6 g ram and 2.4 i5 core OSX 10.9.5 - I recently installed Indesign CC 2014 from our team creative cloud and can open files but cannont edit since there are no tools available. no palettes! I unistalled all iterations of ID and reinstalled ID 2014 with the same results I also installed without saving any preferences. I also tried changing work spaces as well as short cuts with to tools.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The most obvious question is have you tried Window > Tools?
If trashing the prefs doesn't work (see Replace Your Preferences), then uninstall again, but this time run the cleaner tool before you reinstall: CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3

Problems with InDesign CC 2014 tool palettes on an extended display

We have a Mac in our group set up with an extended display. With Indesign CC and before, we were able to move our InDesign tool palettes to the extended display, giving us a full view of our work on the main display. Now with the new upgrade to Indesign CC 2014, when using the tool palettes, the commands open on the main workspace display and the palettes will not collapse into each other unless you move them to the main display first. Can anyone offer help?

Ask in the ID forum and provide proper technical information like what Mac, what OSX, what display.

Resetting the workspace doesn't help. Any ideas?

Tool palette missing after migrating

Hello
I just bought a MacBook Pro (10.7.5) and I used the migrate assistant to copy everything over from the iMac. It was great ... and i just finished a small project in Final Cut Pro (6.1) ... but its tool palette is missing on the MacBook.
I turned it off and on in the Windows menu, but still not there. I changed the display size in case it's hiding off the edge, but nope.
I'm a simplest and I really only use the pen tool and knife ... but it's inconvenient not having it there.
Any suggestions on how to get it back, other than reinstalling the program (don't really want to do this)?
Thank you
Elizabeth

Using Migation to move FCS from one Mac to another does not work and it will never run correctly. You will need to remove Final Cut using FCS Remover then re-instal properly using the original install discs.

Hi Ukliz,
1. Open the Paint Window.
2. While it is the active window go to the 'View' pulldown
menu and select 'Paint
Tools'

Action Automation Tool(AAT) plugins do not work in Release version InDesign CC 2014.2

Hi,
I was glad to notice that there is a black-box testing tool mentioned in the InDesign CC SDK. But i tried many times in my environment, the plugins cannot be loaded successfully.
I followed the steps in the documentation from SDK, copied shared libraries, plugins and qa folder to required locations. But when i launch release version of InDesign CC, it pops up messages as following for some plugins.
I tried on Win32 version, Win64 version and Mac version. The InDesign CC version is 2014.2, and i also tried the 10.0 SDK and 10.2 SDK. The message is the same.
Did i miss anything to make it work?
Thanks.

I found that on Windows, the (XXX Resources)/XXX/ are all empty, on Mac, XXX.InDesignPlugin/Resources and XXX.InDesignPlugin/Versions are empty too.
I'm not sure either the AAT plugins are not supported anymore in InDesign CC 2014 or they are supported but not included correctly in SDK.
So bad. BTW, i found there are many typo and format issues in the sdk documentation of InDesign CC2014. It looks like not professional enough. On Windows, the search function in html format documentation is not as good as before in CS6 with chm.

I can't use InDesign CC 2014, I tried to uninstall and now I'm not able to install again. It says there's a missing file. What shall I do? Shall can I cancel Creative and install it again? And how?

Adobe InDesign CC 2014 Custom Panel Built With Extension Builder - Problem: Can't tab from one entry field to the next; Hitting tab instead hides all palettes; Is there a fix? This didn't happen in Adobe Indesign CC

Missing content exporting from InDesign CC 2014 to Flash Pro CC 2014

Dear all,
to produce a larger number of similar animated swf's, I wanted to create all necessary text and graphic layers in InDesign CC 2014, then export as *.fla to Flash Pro CC 2014 for "bulk" animation.
Finally it should then just be a case of selecting the correct layers and publishing.
The problem: When exporting from InDesign to Flash, all layers are recognized but initially apart from the text layers they were shown as empty items without the content.
Rescaling the placed images in InDesign to be no larger than the final document helped to now also have the images when opening the exported *.fla in Flash.
I am still missing all other InDesign objects though, e.g. even a simple colored rectangular will not show in Flash.
Any help to fix this issue would be greatly appreciated. Searching for it only brought up a couple of tutorials that do not seem to have this issue.
Best regards
Christopher

I think that it's just a bug in InDesign. It happens with CS6 as well.

Missing Tool Palette

Really feel silly asking but . . .
Just upgraded to CS 5.5 from CS3. Can't seem to find the tool palette (slection arrows, type tool, etc.)

Hi Peter;
When I first installed CS5.5, I set up my Workspace and saved it. Now when I invole it, the tools are still missing.
I'll try your suggestion in my other post.
Thanks;
Chris

Where is the vertical type tool in InDesign CC 2014???

aarrgghh
Where is the vertical type tool in InDesign CC 2014???

Thanks. Yes, I had referred to that InDesign Secrets post before posting my question. Thus my question about table. Still dont know why my insert table command is greyed out. The stairstep method doesnt work with my narrow spine and decorative, non-monospace font, as explained in exchange here with Bob Levine. And downloading the CJK version for this single, simple task is just too much trouble. The individual text frames proved the fastest solution.

No tools in InDesign CC 2014

Hello,
I have recently installed InDesign CC 2014 on my laptop and its tools are just not appearing on the desk. If I go to the Window menu option, nothing appears there. Any suggestion?
Thanks a lot.
Eduardo.

Try resetting the workspace, and if that doesn't work, try resetting the preferences (see Replace Your Preferences ).
If that still doesn't work you probably need to reinstall.

Trouble updating InDesign CC 2014 so I can use DPS tools.

I am trying to update InDesign CC 2014 so I can use DPS tools. But "updates" is grayed out. I noticed that CC desktop says InDesign is up to date. Any suggestions?

You could try renaming your AdobeUpdateAdminPrefs.dat file. It looks like Adobe CS6 and CC have an automatic update mechanism that can sometimes prevent users from seeing available updates.
- Locate the file:
Mac OS
<Startup Disk>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AAMUpdaterInventory/1.0/AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat
Windows 7.0 and Higher (32 bit)
C:\Program files\common files\adobe\AAMUpdaterInventory\1.0\AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat
Windows 7.0 and higher (64 bit)
C:\Program files(x86)\common files\adobe\AAMUpdaterInventory\1.0\AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat
- Try renaming the file, such as AdobeUpdateAdminPrefs-old.dat
- Restart InDesign
- See if the update is now available
Here are a few links for reference:
