Error in Libraries panel

I have some CC libraries that I access through the Libraries panel in Photoshop. It has stopped working on my primary machine and gives the error:
"Sorry, we couldn't initialize the panel"
It, however, works in InDesign. It also works fine in Photshop on my secondary machine. I have not been able to find any documentation about the issue and am not sure how to get the panel working again. A screenshot is below.
Please can someone help?

Yes, I have restarted the computer (many times). And I have used my
Photoshop CC on another machine and can access the panel there with no
problem. So I don't think it's a problem with my libraries themselves. I
can also access my libraries from InDesign CC on the same machine. It's
just Photoshop on one specific machine that has the issue.
And yes, I can open the Libraries panel options. I tried closing the panel
and then reopening it from Window > Libraries. But the problem persists.
Any other ideas? Is there any way I can get direct support from Adobe? I
wasn't able to find a place to open a support case. I need to get this
resolved as it is really impacting my workflow, as I share these library's
with other folks.

[JS] [CS3] Attempting to access InDesign's own panels

Hello everyone
The JavaScript I intend to write for InDesign takes the currently selected colour in InDesign's swatches panel, then searches for the first instance of it (as an outline/fill of some text or an object, or within a style) in the active document.
I've searched the forums and Adobe's documentation, and am now pretty sure that to access any item in InDesign's panels I'd need to resort to programming a plugin. But I want to be sure: is JavaScript allowed any access to elements in InDesign's UI, specifically its panels?
Thanks
Paul

no - you can't read data from panels - you can only change it's visibility

Endless Log-In Error : InDesign Folio Builder Panel

I updated my folio tools/panels to 1.1.9.0 and then accidentally entered in the wrong username and password in the InDesign Folio Builder Panel when I went to log back in. (The user name and password were from an DPS Professional Edition account which we suspended with Adobe to prevent billing while testing.)
The inDesign panel just endlessly cycles now. Wont give me the option to re-enter correct information. I've closed/re-opened the panel, deleted / reinstalled the panel & tools, and I've deleted my inDesign preferences, but every time upon application launch the folio builder panel just cycles as seen below. I'm stuck. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Try signing out of the CS Live widget in the upper right corner of InDesign, close the Folio Builder panel, and try again.

My libraries panel is missing from the window dropdown. Where else can I access it? Is that normal?

Lisa,
You may try the list (or go straight to 6) if you have updated to Yosemite without reinstalling).
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save curent artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Disabling font tab in InDesign CS5 Control panel

Hi,
Is there any option to disable the Font change option in the InDesign CS5 Control panel. That is the user should not change the font using Control panel.
Thanks,
Gopal

What I need here is, whenever the user change the font using Control panel, an alert should be made to the user and the font should not be changed.
I am confused why the method the user chooses matters.
Why is it a problem if they use the Control panel but not the Character panel?
I don't think you can achieve this with scripting.
With substantial effort, you maybe able to detect when they change a font and pop up an alert, but it is pretty difficult.
It would be more doable but still hard in the C++ SDK.

Libraries panel kills tool shortcuts

Since updating PS recently, I've encountered a frustrating problem with the Libraries panel. Here are the steps to replicate it:
Select a tool (any tool)
Click inside the Libraries panel to put it in focus
Try to select a different tool with a keyboard shortcut (V for Move tool or A for Direct/path selection tool, for example)
Unless I am the only one experiencing this, you should fail at step 3. I have also noticed that Cmd+Z to undo also does not work. So in order to switch to a different tool after having added something to a library, I have to click the document so the Libraries panel doesn't have focus anymore. I can't figure out why this would be by design, but if it's a bug I don't see how they could have missed it.
This makes the new libraries feature unnecessarily cumbersome and frustrating to use, which is a shame since it could be a really handy way to store core UI elements for each project. I also don't understand why I can't highlight some text and click a color in my library to apply it to the selected text, but that's for another day I guess.
Anyone else having this problem? I'm on up-to-date Yosemite on a late 2012 iMac, and the most recent PS update.

Hi SG,
Thanks for your reply. I am now at home, and experiencing the same issue on my brand new MacBook Pro 15-inch Retina, also running Yosemite 10.10 and up to date versions of the full CC suite. The iMac has an Apple keyboard and Logitech mouse attached, but the MBP has no peripherals at all. I'm in Norway, but my OSX is set to English. The machine at the office is a late 2012 iMac, with the same exact software. They were both upgraded from Mavericks, as opposed to a clean install, in case that matters.
Pressing ESC does not help. In fact, on the MBP the issue is slightly worse: clicking the document does not help, I have to click one of the other panels, like the tools or history panel. On the iMac it was sufficient to click the document.
Kind regards,
Sig

InDesign Object Libraries and DPS

Hello,
I'm familiar with InDesign object libraries' capability to make easily reusable objects and elements. What I'm wondering: if I create objects and elements in a Library to be reused across various pages and across multiple articles in my portfolio, will DPS read these multiple instances as ONE object when it comes time to publish?
What I am trying to achieve is ultimately a lower file download size of my app. For example, if I create a multistate object, is it possible, through Object Libraries, to use this object in several places within my folio and have it count as just one object in terms of file size?
Thanks in advance.

No. Good ways to manage file size is to use PDF as your folio file format, to avoid embedding videos, and to avoid full-page multi-state objects.

Bridge Output panel is blank in right-hand window

After opening the Output panel in Adobe Bridge CS5 the right hand panel is blank...nor PDF button, no formatting options....nothing. I've tried several times to reinstall the output module without success. Any suggestions?

If it worked before and you have changed nothing I would reset the preferences. Close Bridge then hold down the CTRL key and start Bridge. You should get a reset window with 3 optons.

Panel tab shows up, but panel is blank

Hello Everyone,
I've created a File Info for CS5 panel using the generic panel. As I've been working on it, it shows up just fine on my workstation. The panel's folder has been distributed to three other workstations, and on two of them only the name on the panel's tab shows up and the panel is blank. On the third one, it shows up just fine. The panel folder has been placed into "Macintosh HD:Library:Application Support:Adobe:XMP:Custom File Info Panels:3.0:panels" on every workstation. All of the workstations are Mac's. All of the Mac's have the same OS and up to date CS5 installations. I think I'm overlooking the obvious and I just don't see it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
-Dave

Hi Dave,
from what I read I guess that you have distributed the panel, but not the Flash Player trust file to the workstations.
It has to be installed (or manually created) on each workstation in the path:
/Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash
Player/#Security/FlashPlayerTrust
You create a text file "MyTrustFile.cfg" which contains your panel path in a single line (using slashes, not colons).
You can find more details in our SDK programmers guide.
Hope this helps,
Stefan Makswit

Bridge CS5 "output templates" no longer loads; the output panel is blank. Where is the script?

Bridge CS5 "output templates" no longer loads after my system back-up; the output panel is blank.
The other Workspace features appear to be functional.
What/Where is the output script supposed to be?

If it worked before and you have changed nothing I would reset the preferences. Close Bridge then hold down the CTRL key and start Bridge. You should get a reset window with 3 optons.

Why is the libraries panel in photoshop gone?

The libraries panel is no longer visible for me to open when i click "Window" Was it moved to somewhere else or am i missing something? Photoshop for Beginners

If all else fails...
It may be time for the list:
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Inbox message panel is blank, but I know that messages have been received

I am able to send messages, and receive them, but I can't see the received messages. My POP3 inbox message panel is blank yet the Inbox indicator at the left says 10 messages. I can hear new messages come in, but I can't view them. I repaired permissions, but that didn't work. I can see them on my MBP, but not on the desktop iMac. Advice please.

I am unable to rebuild the mailbox (greyed out) or solve the problem. However I did a workaround by creating a new mailbox and directing messages to it via a rule. Apparently no one else has had this strange problem with no apparent solution.

Instead of changing focus to next entry field when the tab key is pressed it hides the panel instead.
UI Nightmare.

I’m using editable text fields. When I hit tab nothing happens. Focus stays on current text field.
