InDesign CS5 - Print Dialog does not load (windows).

I just installed InDesign CS5 and when I go to print a document, the print dialog does not come up.  I only get an hourglass cursor.  When I try to export to a PDF the resulting PDF is 0kb and obviously corrupt.
What do I do to fix this?

Don't have a clue about the print dialog, but you may be unaware that PDF export is now a background task and you may be trying to open the PDF before it's finished. To check the progress go to Window > Utilities > Background Tasks.
There are some reports of the background task stalling in certain cases. This is a bug, Adobe is aware of it, and a solution is in the works, but no definite inopfrmation on a release date for the fix is available. If you search the forum you'll find a couple of threads discussing it, including a link to a script to do the export inthe foreground if necessary.
For the print problem, you can try Replace Your Preferences, but I'm not hightly optimisitic that this is a prefs issue. It would help if you told us about the OS and your printer, and what language you installed. Have you updated to 7.0.2?

  • Print Dialog does NOT reset to defaults

    ON my iMac in OSX 10.9.4, when you go to print the previous settings for number of copies to print are retained instead of resetting to 1. Therefore, if people are not watching this, extra copies get printed until you realize what is going on. Is there a way to reset the defaults and make them stick.

    Yes, I discovered that somehow a preference got corrupt and by deleting apple.print prefs in the User Library, I was able to get the Print dialog to NOT stick on settings. Thanks for that tip

    When I start itunes i get the message "Itunes was not properly installed if you wish to burn Cds you will need to reinstall itunes" Any ideas what i should do anyone?
    That sounds like the GEAR drivers that iTunes uses for burning and importing aren't going in properly. (or there's damaged GEAR drivers for an old install stuck on the PC.
    Perhaps manually uninstalling and reinstalling the GEAR drivers can get you past this. There's instructions for that on the GEAR wiki:
    [DRIVERS: Windows - Updating, removing, 64 bit versions, etc|http://www.gearsoftware.com/wiki/index.php?title=DRIVERS:Windows_-_Updating%2C_removing%2C_64_bit_versions%2Cetc]

  • Print dialog does not show DINA4 anymore?

    Hey,
    after upgrading to Lion, i can't print DINA4 (e.g. PDFs through Preview) anymore,
    the only option in the dialog is US-Letter...
    do I have to add a special language pack? is the printing driver (SAMSUNG CLP-315)
    not ready for Lion yet?
    thanks for any help
    max

    When the print dialog opens (e.g. in preview) it chooses the default printer and only gives US-Letter as option.
    When I then choose the other printer from the pulldown menu, I can choose from lots of different
    paper formats...switching now back to the default printer I can choose A4...
    This is reproducable: whenever I open up a new printing dialog with the CUPS network printer as default printer
    I only have US-Letter in the menu...
    wow bugtracking: feels like back in the days when we were using linux
    I have the same setup and since my update to Lion I experience the problem you describe. The print dialog only offers "US letter" in the "Paper Size" drop down.
    I also use the same work around as you to set the paper size to A4. I select a local printer to get a long list of different paper sizes to choose from. When I switch back to a printer connected to a CUPS printer server, the list is kept. This allows me to select A4. However, it also allows me to select paper sizes not provided by the currently selected printer.
    This is no satisfying solution

  • InDesign does not load windows, but has a window that says HWNDBasedPanelView UID:150713

    Running windows 7
    I can get to the panel where I can open new document or existing documents, but then nothing happens.

  • Mac InDesign CS5: Application Frame Does Not Save

    I have a new MacBook Pro with CS5. Since I am previously a PC user, I prefer to have the application frame open all the time. In Photoshop and Illustrator I was able to turn it on, size it, and the settings saved. With InDesign, however, I was able to turn it on but the size never saves--this is driving me crazy!! Any help anyone can give is very much appreciated.

    It's supposed to save. Try trashing you preferences first.
    Please confirm that you open CS5, set the App Frame on, Quit InDesign, re-open InDesign, and the App Frame is not on?

  • Boot Camp control panel does not load: Windows XP via VMWare Fusion

    whenever i try to access the boot camp control panel--either via the diamond-shaped boot camp icon running in the task bar, or through the windows control panel itself--i get the following error message related to administrative privileges:
    "An error occurred while trying to access the startup disk settings. You may not have privileges to change the startup disk. Make sure you have administrator privileges and try again."
    is this because i am running windows as a virtual machine within fusion? obviously i'm not interested in the control panel for its startup options, but rather for its other adjustments such as brightness, trackpad, etc.
    i am logged in as administrator--that is the only account i have--and i am running boot camp 2.1 on windows xp sp3.
    boring possibly-related background info:
    - i installed sp3 before ever putting boot camp on my windows virtual machine. i started, of course, with boot camp 2.0 via the OEM leopard install disk, but even after that installed successfully, i could not access the boot camp control panel. so i plowed forward and installed the 2.1 update, but to no avail.
    - i even un-installed sp3 and rolled back to sp2, then removed all traces of boot camp, then re-installed starting from 2.0, but to no avail.
    google reveals that a few others have gotten this error message, but i've seen no definitive answer for any of them.

    Check your XP Task Manager to see if the processes are running or not. I found that I had issues with my Boot Camp Control Panel if I let it auto-launch. It would hang and not start properly most of the time (but it would sometimes). I removed the process from the auto-start list and put an icon on my desktop to manually start it, and it works right every time now. As for the special keys, etc many of those only work right once the control panel app running.

  • Does not load windows.

    hp g62 notebook. windows 7 home premium.
    Can go to F2 for testing..
    Cannot go to F11 for system recovery
    Only see cursor blinking on the top left after pressing on F11 or finishing testing

    Hi:
    Doesn't sound good.
    You may need to purchase a set of recovery disks for your notebook by following the info on the link below:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00810334&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&sw_lang=&product=40...
    An alternative if you can read your windows 7 home premium 25 character product key on the bottom of your notebook is to download and burn the Windows 7 Home Premium ISO file in the language that it came installed on your PC (English, French or Spanish), and you need to have a DVD burning program capable of burning ISO files so the DVD is bootable. Burn the compilation at the slowest possible burn speed your program will allow.
    The key will work on either the 32 or 64 bit version of windows home premium.
    Then use the 25 character product key to activate the installation.
    Visit your notebook's support and driver page.
    Link to the Windows 7 downloads is below.

  • Ryanair 'flights' dialog box does not load; all the rest works, and in Opera it works; can you help? it seems everything else works fine

    Ryanair 'flights' dialog box does not load; I tried in other languages too, it is the same error; it works fine with opera browser in this very same computer I am writing in; please help, if you can; it worked up to two months ago, then I don't know, too long has past from last time I used ryanair, and the rest works all fine, it seems... thanks so much for your time,

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]<br />
    <br />
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")<br />

  • IE 11 Does not load pages and "Stops Responding" After 11/26/2013 Windows Update

    I have Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. IE 11. (Doesn't matter if I try to open 32 or 64 bit IE)
    I keep Automatic Updates on and they install as soon as they are available.
    Everything on my PC was running fine 11/25/13.
    I came to it 11/26/13 after Windows Updates ran and now whenever I open any webpages, it does not load the web page 100%, no hyperlinks can be clicked on and once you attempt to click on anything. I get the "IE 11 has stopped responding" bubble.
    It also seemed to affect Firefox which does not completely load pages either.
    Any shove in the correct way to help solve this would be helpful.

    Robert -
    Anyone who has gathered over 13,000 points is certainly to be respected as being super smart and uber helpful.  However, your response is inadequate on two counts.
    First, "stopped working" is not an inexact phrase, nor is it a euphemism trotted out by a newbie who hasn't the skill to describe the problem accurately. "stopped working" is an exact part of the error message issued by Windows.  Of course it would
    help if Windows would issue error messages that are more useful, but that is a different issue. For the purposes of this discussion, "stopped working" as part of the exact error message is a useful piece of information.
    Second, despite your excellent suggestions for hunting down the problem, I'm guessing that few people here have the time or inclination to be beta testers for Microsoft.  Even if the exact cause is found, it is not likely that anyone here will
    be able to fix the problem.  There are literally hundreds of people complaining about this problem in multiple forums.  If you know your consumer behavior metrics, then you know that means tens of thousands are affected.  This is systemic, not
    a random problem on a few errant machines.  Microsoft needs to know that they have a major problem on their hands and they need to fix it.  I saw this problem starting with IE 10.  Is it any wonder that in that time, IE usage has fallen greatly
    while Chrome has become the dominant browser?  (The only reason I am bothering to write instead of just shifting to Chrome is that Chrome also has its bugs, one of which affects a web app I use several times a week, so I need a functioning version of
    IE.)
    So thanks Robert for all your help in the past, but this response isn't helpful.
    Microsoft, are you listening?  Fix your browser.

  • Windows Server 2008R2 running Remote Desktop Services reports printer process does not exist when installing PDF printer

     Windows Server 2008R2 running Remote Desktop Services reports printer process does not exist when installing PDF printer, And when Installing network printers from the domain controller it reports it cannot connect to printer.  I can ping all
    network devices. I can connect to the internet.
    On boot I get a netlogon 5719 error followed by service control manager errors 7023,7001 and a group policy error 1129.
    Clients can connect to the remote application and RDP operates to connect to the server internally and externally.
    The domain controller is another server 2008r2 box. I have scoured the internet but have not found any solutions that work yet.

    Hi,
    After referring to your post, it can be identified that the issue which you are facing is mostly due to some network issue in your environment. Please recheck your network connection issue between computer and domain controller. 
    Can you able to ping with IP address and also with fully qualified name of a domain controller in the users' and computers' domain. If it fails states that name resolution issue with computer and domain controller. Are you using MS DHCP Relay agent then there’s
    available Hotfix for the particular Event ID. Please go through this KB 2459530 to fix the error event ID.
    As per the net logon error 5719 which you are facing states that the client component of Netlogon was unable to locate a DC for the domain it was trying to perform an operation against. Below is one of the reason. If this is being logged on a DC and the event
    refers to the DC's own domain, something might be preventing the client component of Netlogon from starting a network session (to itself or to another DC in the domain). The following event 7001 & 7023 states start & stop operation service. Please
    go through beneath article for more details.
    1.  Event ID 5719 is logged when you start a computer
    2.  Netlogon 5719 and the Disappearing Domain [Controller]
    3.  Event ID 1129 — Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy
    Hope it helps!
    Regards.

    Hi Anni,
    Welcome to  discussions
    Thanks for all the info but I have tried everything and still nothing. I just don't get it.
    You're welcome If I may say, you have tried everything is too broad a statement when trying to get help we need to know what you have tried.
    Have you tried a freshly created test account? See this doc, on how, if you haven't see this on 10.4 & Adding a new user account to your computer, this helps to show if this is a problem isolated to your username account or system wide.
    Do you have the plugin components mentioned?
    Are you running 3rd party Safari extending applications?
    Has Flip4mac ever worked for you?
    Post a Url of the video you are trying to watch, or an example of similar would help, so we may try it.
    Can you view Youtube & google vids?
    • If those are your correct specs you show your os is extremely behind, missing all the fixes
    the subsequent os updates & security updates offer. If they are incorrect please take a sec, to correct, adding the size of drive & ram would help as well
    If you update make sure to back up your personal files & data see this document on,How to back up and restore your important Mac OS X 10.3 & 10.4 files
    Look at A. Brodys post on how to update properlya. Brody now that 10.4.6 is out lets review..albeit it os 10.4.6 it still applies up to 10.4.10, his is the first post, ( this was the start of the double boot after os update.)
    Apologies if you already know all this I can't not know, prefer err on the side of caution.....
    • Note that your problem sounds different then the original posters problem, he doesn't speak of freezing, you are running a ppc ibook he a Macbook on 10.4.10.
    Please post your own topic & articulate what the "everything" you have tried happens to be, you are more likely to get the help you need, no doubt it must be most
    annoying not to be able to view what you know you can.
    Good luck,

  • The webpage does not load after pressing enter or CTRL+ENTER. My OS is Windows 7 Ultimate

    I have tried installing the older version Firefox 3.6. After entering the URL on address bar it does not load after pressing enter or CTRL+ENTER

    This issue can be caused by an extension (AVG Safe Search can cause this) that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)
