InDesign CC point updates reset some preferences

Today's point update to InDesign CC reset my preferences (UI reverted to black, etc). This has happened with previous updates as well. Anyone experiencing similar? Ideas on how to prevent it in the future?
Running OSX Mountain Lion w/ latest updates.

PITA for sure. See if this helps:

If they are still on your Mac's drive then you should be able to add them back into iTunes via File > Add To Library

InDesign crashing when updating associated InCopy files

We just upgraded to CS6 and Creative Cloud. When graphic designers are using InDesign and writers update the affiliated InCopy files, when the designers hit the Update button to pull in the updates, it crashes InDesign. Here is Pastebin link of a recent crash log.
http://pastebin.com/Luc13HET
Designers are using Macs, writers are using PCs, we use DropBox to share the files, and re-placing the files seems to be ok, just not using the actual Update button. We've tried a ton of potential fixes, including resetting preferences, placing the file on to a new document, saving as IDML, exporting InCopy links separately.
Anyone know of any fixes?

This is the same for our department and the workflow sounds very similar except we are using Stand alone installs and not creative cloud with both design and editoiral using PCs.
We have really experienced the problems when using previously designed templates from CS4 and are now having to go through systematcally and redo these from the ground up which seems to fix most but not all and is really annoying. Adobe of yet have not released a fix for this even thou there have been quite a few pastbin reports sent to them.
CS6 using Indesign and Incopy is a real disappointment considering all the excellent features under the hood.
See a long post here it might help

Indesign crashes when updating a linked document

This is a reproducible crash.
I have a indd file, several pages long with other embedded / placed indd documents inside.
When a linked file in the original documents has been changed, I naturally get a notice in the "links" tab. So far so good.
When I right-click and select "Edit original", the original document opens up and I get the usual notice if I like to update the changed link.
I select yes and save the document and close it to get back to doc I started with and then Indesign crashes.
Can this be fixed? It's extremely annoying.
Tia.

Sphynx25 I have the exact problem and have been dealing with it for a couple years now, it's incredibly annoying. I wonder if there's some preference that would eliminate the document from automatically checking the links?? Seems this is what causes the crashes. I fiddled with what I could find in the preferences to no avail.
If you figure this one out please let me know, I'll do the same.

How to delete/reset Photoshop preferences

Background: Sometimes Photoshop can exhibit odd/erratic/weird behaviour.
The first step is to make sure that you are running the latest version of Photoshop, by applying the relevant updates for your version of Photoshop listed on this page:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=39&platform=Windows
This behaviour can sometimes be overcome by resetting the Photoshop Preference file, or individual Tool Preferences.
The procedures outlined below are the most common methods of removing the program preferences file.
Q: I am experiencing weird behaviour in Photoshop. - How do I delete / reset my preferences?
Photoshop versions after 6.0 (including 7.0, CS, CS2 ...CS6):
A:If a tool is behaving erratically, first try resetting just that tools preferences, via the method outlined by Len Hewitt in the post below this one.
If you have larger troubles, hold down Alt, Ctrl, and Shift keys (Mac: Command, Option, Shift) while starting up Photoshop. A dialog box will appear asking if you wish to delete the preferences/settings file.
A2: You can also simply search your hard drive for a *.psp file and delete it. It will be called something along the lines of "Adobe Photoshop X Prefs.psp".
Under Vista or 7, look here:
Users/[Username]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop [version #]/Adobe Photoshop [version #] Settings
Under Win 2k/XP the preference file will be found at:
%windir%\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop\[version #]\Adobe Photoshop [version #] Settings
[NOTE: You need to set Window's Explorer Options to "View Hidden Files and Folders" to display the Preference file]
Photoshop Versions 5.5 and earlier:
Search for photos*.ini and delete (the file will be called photos followed by the version number - i.e photos55.ini for Photoshop 5.5, photos40.ini for Photoshop 4.0)
Resetting the preferences will restore Photoshop settings to factory defaults.
If removing the preferences files does not resolve the problem you should check the Photoshop Support pages for further guidance.
http://www.adobe.com/support/products/photoshop.html
Note that it is possible to keep a 'healthy' copy of the Preferences file, so that you simply overwrite the preferences file if needed. That way you won´t have to re-adjust your preferences in Photoshop after a Reset.
More information on Photoshop preferences can be found at:
Tech doc, CS5:

Is one of your tools behaving strangely — or not the way you expect — in Photoshop?
For every tool in Photoshop's Tool Box, the user may choose to fully reset JUST that tool to its default settings. To do this, look up to the Options Bar. On the far left side you will see a button which displays an icon of the currently selected tool. This is the Tool Preset picker. Right-click on this button, and you will see two entries:
Reset Tool
Reset All Tools
The first thing to try when a tool is not acting like you expect it should is to apply the command "Reset Tool" from this menu. Often this will cure a problem, and by starting your Photoshop troubleshooting with this procedure you aren't resetting Photoshop's entire behavior and environment to factory default in a wholesale manner. Instead, you're just getting that particular tool back to its default settings, leaving the rest of Photoshop's settings alone.
The second option would be more appropriate in a classroom setting, to get a "fresh version of Photoshop", rather than for troubleshooting Photoshop issues.
If this doesn't cure the problem you're having, then you may need to move on to deleting/resetting all of your Photoshop preferences to factory default.

Sharepoint server get all Updates except share point Updates

hi
I have a sharepoint server that sharepoint 2013 has installed on that .my Update server is sccm 2012 r2 and I checked all office 2003,2007,2010,2013 product to be synchronized .every thing is good sccm work fine in synchronizing update with Microsoft.and the

whats the solution ?
thanx

I checked those files .but there weren't any errors .I checked them through reporting but it still says that those
Updates are not required whereas the server doesn't installed any share point Updates.
http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/2767999
A change in the package configuration was introduced after SharePoint Server 2013 was released. You must install this public update before you install later SharePoint updates.
Note This update is available only from the Download Center and is currently not available from Microsoft Update.

Upgrading quicktime resets my preferences.

Whenever the apple software update upgrades my quicktime software it resets my preferences.
Specifically, i have the 'install quicktime icon in system tray' option disabled. But after each upgrade it is enabled again.
This is very annoying, is their any way to stop this ?
Thanks in advance.

What update to QT isn't a version change?
I can't think of any other significant programs I deal with, when they update, don't preserve your settings.
And I cannot think of any program, from MS or other vendor, that places so many links to itself upon installation or update. And really, how many people actually start QT by opening it, rather than opening a media file which causes QT to launch.

Trying to install InDesign 5.5 update.

Trying to install InDesign 5.5 update. It says I don't have a qualifying product. I most certainly do. I have Design Premium 5, and it is registered. So why won't the update install? This is urgent - I have a project due tomorrow morning.

You have upgarded from design premium cs5 to indesign cs5.5 , which is a invalid upgrade as Adobe doesn't provide the upgrade from the suite to the point product.
You need to contcat Adobe support to get this thing sorted out as the installtion will not go through.
To complete your project you can install Indesign as the trial and then use it for the 30 days and in the meantime contact Adobe support.

If you only have one disk (non partitioned), then you can't uncheck the
scratch disk in the photoshop preferences.
You need to have a scratch disk enabled in photoshop or photoshop wouldn't
work very well, if at all.

In the past, when I updated iTunes, some items would be 'lost'. I quit updating, still running 10.6. I do keep my files on an external hard drive, which I plug in before starting iTunes. If I leave the drive off, and update, would that keep me from losing any files? Also, does anyone know how to search the iTunes store by price? I'm particularly interested in movies and audiobooks... Thanks

iTunes does not have provision for automatically storing one kind of media on a separate drive, so you have some basic decisions to make first. Do you want these movies to still appear in your iTunes library, or are you content with browsing filenames on a drive in Finder when you want to look for one? The second's the easiest thing because then you don't have to have an external drive permanently turned on and attached to your computer (wired or wireless). To do that you literelly only need to drag your movies folder to an archive drive and delete movies from iTunes. To watch them again you can add it back to iTunes while holding down the option key so the movie is used from its location on the external drive.
There's ways to move the movies to an external drive while keeping them in iTunes but the external drive iwll always have to be turned on and connected to the computer or you will see a bunch of broken link exclamation marks.
Realize what you are talking about is not "backup". Backup (which you should do) is putting a second or more copy of items on external drives for the day when your internal drive fails and everything on it is lost, inclduing all your home photos and perhaps things that have been pulled from the iTunes Store and can no longer be re-downloaded.

When I make a project in iDVD'09, there are sometimes green blocs with points flickering in some scenes of my iMovie-film. In iMovie there is no problem with this film, but the problem begins by exporting to iDVD and making a project there.

B. When free space on Start-Up hard disk goes low - strange things like this might occure. I never go under 25Gb free space on this Start-Up Mac OS hard disk !
C. Does this problem arises what ever encoding quality You use ?

Updates to some APPs do not appear in my iTunes

In my iphone 4 iOS 7.0.4 tells me that there are updates for some APPs, but there is nothing in iTunes. For example on my iPhone I have a notice that there are 3 application upgrade. When I open iTunes on my iMac, nothing appears when I select the button "Check for Updates" I get a warning that says "There are no updates available for any of the apps in you iTunes library."

YES!!!! I found a solution that worked for me
On my iMac I have 566 APPs with one Apple ID and 9 of these APPs are from another Apple ID I have to. I started to check each APP information, to detect which once of the APPs was purchased from each ID. While revising the APPs I started to download directly to my iPhone 4 iOS 7.0.4 (not using iTunes) once APP which was removed a few weeks ago. After downloading the APP on my iPhone, opened it and use for a few minutes.
After locating the APPs that had bought using another Apple ID, I deleted 3 which no longer wanted, but the other 6 did not know to do that if I use, well my kids (they are games).
Out of curiosity I decided to press the button "UPDATES" in my iTunes and SURPRISE!!! appeared 13 APPs that need to be updated.
I already did a sync between my iPhone and iTunes and everything is working perfectly, as several days hago.
My theory is: Some of the APPs that I deleted, needed to be updated and when I tried to check for updates, there was some kind of conflict that made the iTunes says "There are no updates available for any of the apps in your iTunes library", then deleting the APP, the problem was solved.

I have little exclamation points next to some of my songs and they won't play how do I get them to play?, I have little exclamation points next to some of my songs and they won't play how do I get them to play?

I have exclamation points next to some of my songs and they won't play...how do I get them to play?

I am not an expert but here's my two cents:
The exclamation point means itunes cannot find the music file in order to play it. There are several possible reasons for this, including but not limited to changing the name or location of your music library/songs, or storing them on an external hard drive or device that is not currently attached. The solutions for these are different so let me know if any of these apply and we can troubleshoot.

Row cannot be located for updating. Some values may have been changed...

Hello,
I have a legacy application written in VB6 and using Oracle OLEDB Provider (version 9 and updated to the last ones from oracle site)
I've a problem during insert of a record using recordset method (AddNew).
The returned message is "Row cannot be located for updating. Some values may have been changed since it was last read. "
I know that problem is caused by a Before Insert trigger that I CANNOT change.
Trigger does not change any primary key values !!!. It put only some default values on other not rilevant columns.
I tried to use the recordset Property option "Update Criteria" = adCriteriaKey without success !
I had same problem with SQL Server but i solved putting into the trigger SET NOCOUNT ON.
I think problem is related to the fact that ADO tries to calculate number of affected rows and for doing that it use a where clause built on the changed columns but using values it had on the client.
Other important info:
Cursor = adUseClient (and i cannot adUseServer)
Provider= MSDAORA (version 9.2...)
Oracle server = 9.1
Trigger causing problem = BEFORE INSERT (for each row)
Thanks in advance
Luigi

Constantly resetting Cs2 Preferences

I would like to know why I have to reset Photoshop Cs2 preferences often. Every week the brushes doesn't work, so I have to press Ctrl, Alt and Shift. I went into the nine preferences box and reset everything. I also did my color settings and save the settings. Is there a way that I can stop resetting the preferences so often?. Thank you.
Gerald Sr.

Gerald,
It may not make much difference at this time of the year, but you should repost in the Photoshop Windows forum, http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop/photoshop_windows.
Never going there myself, I will venture to add the following although it is completely out of place, or should I say forum:
The cause is probably Windows corrupting one or more preference files while saving them when you close down.
Instead of using the Ctrl+Alt+Shift which will wipe out the preferences, including those you wish to keep, you can probably save them for later use by performing the Photoshop equivalent to what is described here for illustrator, namely to Move the folder. I believe the folder is called Adobe Photoshop CS2 Settings, and you may search for it in the same way (including hidden files and folders); you may learn the right name in the forum if I am wrong.
Good luck over there, and Happy New Year.
