Indesign CS6 not picking up keyboard commands or any type

I recently downloaded the CS6 creative package.
I cannot seem to type anything into Indesign documents, or perform any Keyboard Commands.
I'm on a Mac and have never had this problem before, it seems as if it's just not connecting to my keyboard.

Thank you
I rebooted the system in safe and it seems to have fixed itself, the keyboard shortcuts and all type is now working.
Thanks again!

Indesign CS6 not responding

I have CS6 design standard, indesign stopped responding earlier in the week, I can't remove it from the dock. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it a number of times but it still won't open. I get messages saying "You can’t open the application “Adobe InDesign CS6” because it is not responding." and "The application “Adobe InDesign CS6” is not open anymore." when I try to open it. All the other applications are working fine. I have it on my laptop and there's no problem with it there. Obviously I'd rather work on my desktop than my laptop! Also I don't want to have to go down the route of downloading and paying for the CC version when I have the software.

I don't understand what that is. I can give you all the information regarding the computer/software. Why do you need crash logs? The application isn't crashing its not responding at all

Indesign CS6 not so kosher

Hello,
Please could somebody help - this is driving me nuts.
I am Running Indesign CS6.0.1 on an Imac (3ghz - 4gb Ram - Intel Core 2 Duo) using Lion 10.7.3.
I have designed a Catalogue for my company which is 85 pages. This is the first catalogue I have produced on CS6, but have been using Indesign for many many years with no problems.
The problem I am facing is that when I try to print the Book of the catalogue, it spools the first 40 odd pages with no problem, but then seems to randomly get stuck on subsequent pages. Like I said the page it gets stuck on is random, sometimes page 47, sometimes page 55 etc. I have gone into linked files and edited and fixed anything that I thought might be causing problems, to no avail.
I tried to convert to PDF, to then print via Acrobat. The same problem arises. Randomly gets stuck on pages.
I have now tried to split print the catalogue, ie first half, then second half. The first half (33 pages), has printed with no problem, but the second half is now stuck on page 60.
In addition to this. on certain occasions, it will just crash. This to seems to be random, as I have been busy with the exct same actions.
I have deleted preferences & saved data, updated to latest version. I have tried to print on another colleague's Mac Pro (he has 6gb Ram - same OS & indesign version), still with no change in result.
Other than reisntalling lower verson of Indesign, and coverting all my documents, I am at my wits end on how to solve this problem.
If anybody could help - I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
Grant

Hi Dov,
Thank you for your quick response - it is greatly appreciated.
To clarify a little - The problem is occurring when I try to print directly to the Printer from Indesign. But I have been unable to complete the PDF export, as the same problem occurs when exporting, as when printing. I.e. The progress gets stalled on random pages. So I have been unable to try and print form Acrobat, or to even view the PDF document. (incomplete export).
The Printer we are using is a Canon iR ADV C5051 Laser printer.
I completely agree with you on need or lack there of, of re-installing.
I have just tried to split print the Book in 3 sections. To test if there are any problems in any particular parts of the book / documents, and whittle down the problem areas. This has spooled through & printed with no problems. Unfortunately this is not a practical way forward for me, when it comes time for me to print these catalogues out in bulk. (I print several hundred catalogues).
Please see below for the Link to the PDF catalogue. Again I have had to export the Book in sections and then combine it in Acrobat.

Thanks again for your timeous response.

InDesign CS6 not tagging interactive PDF

I don't know if I am doing something wrong but I can't get InDesign to export a properly tagged PDF.
Can anybody please try the following steps and confirm the results:
Create a new document in InDesign
Draw a text box on the document
Type "Text" in the text box
Create new paragraph style called "My heading"
Under Export Tagging in the Paragraph Style Options select "H1" under PDF->Tag
Add the text box to the Articles panel
In the Articles panel fly out menu activate Use for Reading Order in Tagged PDF
Export document as Adobe PDF (Interactive)
In the Export to Interactive PDF options window both options for Tagged PDF are checked
Open the document in Acrobat Pro
Open the Tags navigation pane
Expand the tag hierarchy
If the document is tagged correctly one of the tags should be labeled <H1> . Instead min is labeled what I called it within InDesign <My_heading>. This is essentially making larger documents with multiple heading levels inaccessible.
Can anybody else confirm this issue or provide a fix (other than manually changing tags from within Acrobat Pro)?

I tested in InDesign CC. (This bug would not be fixed in InDesign CS6.)
I can confirm that this bug is still in InDesign CC (see illustration below).
I don't know how to fix this except manually in Acrobat. (I don't normally work with accessibiility issues.)
I'd suggest reporting the bug here:

Why is InDesign CS6 not in the list??

Hello,
i have bought Indesign CS6 on the adobe.com shop. But the serial number from the mail they send me isn't working.
When I use the serial number he says: The serial number you entered is valid but there is no qualifying product present on this computer (translated from dutch).
This is probably because I only can select cs5.5 in the list with products and no cs6. Why cs6 is not in the list? Even after several times reinstall.
Help.....

It sounds like you purchased an upgrade. You will first want to enter your CS6 serial number. After which you will then be prompted to enter the serial number for your qualifying product. At that time you will want to enter the serial number for the software which you are upgrading from.

Adobe Indesign CS6 not finding fonts

Dear Support,
Adobe Indesign is not detecting the font arial narrow bold, narrow italic, please can you inform what to do.
I have reinstalled the font in the windows\fonts folder restarted and still experience issues.
I have reinstalled adobe indesign cs6 and still no luck.
Please get back to me.
Kindest Regards.

Hi Jan Lotz,
You should keep the font arial narrow bold, narrow italic in the same folder where you keep your indesign file. Then open the indesign file hope it will work.
Good luck!
Not true. At the very same place as the InDesign document is saved should be a folder with the name "Document fonts" and in this folder you have to put all fonts.
You should also take care if the font family include a font with these styles and is compatible to your OS. Best practice is to use OTF fonts.

Why is my indesign cs6 not printing black (k100) properly?

Indesign will not print black at 100% properly, but at 90% down to 1%, prints fine?

Nothing changed. Thats the first thing I though might be the issue, but wouldn't explain why the black at 99% prints fine and the black at 100% prints a washed out green/black?

Indesign CS6 not launching / startup crash

Since this morning my InDesign CS6 keeps crashing on startup. I'm using Adobe Cloud and all other applications work fine. I'm using the software in german and it's the first startup process ("Initializing"?) that immediately crashes the program. Everything was working fine last night.
I tried reinstalling, deactivating plugins and removing certain cache/registry files as explained in previous posts to this matter – without success. Please help ASAP!
My log: http://pastebin.com/r3ieNaYx

I see a newer post from you in another thread that indicates trashing your prefs solved the problem. Is that correct?

Tax value is not picked up correctly for the condition type in SO creation

Hi All,
I have a issue in Picking up Tax value correctly for the condition type in SO Creation.
Actual Issue:
When creating the sales order manually,
tax value is picked up correctly for one condition type: ISS3.
When the Sales Order is created via Idoc using the function module 'idoc_input_orders', tax value is not picked for same condition type: ISS3.
We need to find out why the value for the condition type 'ISS3' is not picked in this way!
Can anybody solve this issue!
What can be the reason which is stopping picking up tax value for condition type: ISS3 when Sales Order is created via F.M 'IDOC_INPUT_ORDERS'! While it picked up the same while creating Sales Order manuallly.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Deep.

InDesign CS6 not linking to source Word document

When I had Adobe Cs4 when I place a word document in InDesign a link was created to the source documenent. If the word document was changed, when InDesign checked for errors it prompted me to update the link document. Now when I place a word document in CS6 it does not creat a link. If the word document is changed I cannot update the indesign unless I delete everything and place the word document again. Is there a better way?

Thank you so much. I did just that and it's working just fine.
The geniuses at Adobe told me that there was no such option.

InDesign CS6 not automatically updating links

In previous verisons of InDesign, if I select a linked file, then click "edit link" from the links panel, the link will open up in Photoshop or Illustrator or whatever program, and once I edit, save, and close the file, when I switch back to InDesign, the file would automatically update. CS6 is not updating. Anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix this issue?

I tried trashing the preferences a couple times. No luck. Also tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Same problem.
I haven't tried leaving the file open. What I generally do is:
1. From ID, click "edit link".
2. Once the linked file opens, edit as necessary.
3. Save the file, then close it.
4. Switch back to ID and it updates automatically.
I'll see if if works by leaving it open.
It's not the end of the world if it doesn't work. It's just more annoying than anything else.

Mac OS X not picking up keyboard, mouse or track pad

Im having trouble with all 3, first it was my keyboard, went to try and pair it up, but keep saying no key board found, battery life is at 68% then my mouse stopped working, after coming on here, and someone suggesting that maybe a system update might fix it, so I done that, after the mac restart my trackpad is not working grrrrrrr frustrating, please help?????

Did you try both USB ports?
Try it with just the mouse or just the keyboard. One or the other may be bad.
If you have some other USB device, like a printer or USB hub, try it with something other than the keyboard or mouse plugged in.
If any device causes this problem, the USB ports may be faulty.
You can try resetting the PMU (power management)

and resetting PRAM

Also, check the PRAM battery to make sure it is not dead or weak. It looks like this one

Indesign cs6 not responding on Mac

I am trying to open indesign on iMac sox lion but the program does not get passed the startup part then says not responding. I am using all the other applications from creative web premium and they are working fine.
Any advice?

Did you migrate the applications from one computer to another? Migration doesn't work with InDesign. It needs to be reinstalled from the original media or backup.

InDesign CS6 not compatible with InCopy CS5?

Hi,
We've recently upgraded our designer to have the latest edition of the creative suite (CS6), but we've left our editors with their versions of InCopy CS5.... and we've run into a problem.
We get an error message when the editor is trying to open an InDesign layout file in InCopy so they can edit the assignments. DOes anyone know if there is a way to fix the issue without upgrading all of our InCOpy licences to CS6?
ANy help would be fantastic.
Thanks.

Upgrade.

InDesign CS6 not printing correctly

Hi, Thank you in advance for anyone that could shred some lights to this problem. I'm new to InDesign and I'm trying to create a yearbook.
I'm using a Mac OS X, Verision 10.9.1. Printer: HP Officejet 6600. The spread is 8.5 X 11 (with facing page), and .125 in bleed all around.
I have the printer set to print borderless (edge to edge). When I print one page, it prints perfectly. The problem arise when I tries to print more than one page.
What happens is the first page prints perfectly, but all the other pages prints with a 1/8" white space (border) on top. I tried to export and print via pdf, and got the same result.
Can someone explain what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you,
Isis

Waht you are doing wrong is expecting an HP printer to work flawlessly with InDesign. Seriously. The number one contender on the list of printer manufacturers whose devices don't work well with InDesign is HP.
Exoprt your doc to PDF, then print that from Acrobat.
