Indesign CS6 preference file location

I am having trouble finding the InDesign CS6 preference file on my Mac. I don't have a library folder under my username but there is one for guest and macadmin. Is it hidden? How do I view this folder?
Macintosh: Hard Drive/Users/<USER>/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign/<Version #>/<Language>/

Thank you. I was able to delete the file however it has not fixed my issues with indesign.
I can open InDesign on the guest account and everything loads fine. If I try to open it on my account I get the error "cannot open resource file" and my full preferences aren't loading. I am trying to get to InDesign>Preferences>Type and my full preferences are showing.

  • Lightroom 2.6 preference file location on Windows 7

    I have just installed windows 7 on my laptop and want to copy my preference file from my desktop Vista machine over so I have the same setup. I located the preference file in vista under users/myname/appdata/roaming/adobe/lightroom as per the post on this.  However in my windows 7 installation I just have a user "computer admin" and if i click on that I don't see any AppData folder.  Suggestions gratefulyl received.

    The correct location is:
    \Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Preferences
    Make sure you turn on show all files as mentioned above:
    From explorer:
    ALT > Tools > Folder Options > View
    CHECK > show hidden files and folders

  • Question About Using InDesign CS6 Book Files

    I am creating my first book file in InDesign CS6. It's not technically a book (with chapters and a TOC) but rather a collection of files that share the same style sheets.
    Will there be any issues migrating from CS6 to CC?
    Are there any other big issues I need to be aware of as a first time user of book files?
    Thanks!

    I would strongly recommend exporting the individual files from CS6 as .idml, then open and convert those in CC and add to a brand new Book (.indb). Don't overwrite any old files just in case.

  • Hey Forum Moderator ... what happened to the link to Preference file location??

    There used to be link to a document describing the location of the Preferences files for various different versions of LR and various different operating systems.
    That link used to be right here on the main page of the Lightroom Forum, but it's gone now.
    Can we have it back?

    You mean the Overview page http://forums.adobe.com/community/lightroom?view=overview
    I visit that page maybe once a month to remind myself where not to go for fear of getting lost.

  • Preference File Location

    Typically, C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop (your version).

  • InDesign CS6 book files crash

    InDesign CS6 crashed when I was editing hyperlinks in a book. When I reopened the program, instead of 9 chapter files, I have 45 and all are untitled. What should I do ? Open the files from my most recently saved chapter files? Create a new indb file?

    When you restart after a crash ID uses the recovery data to attempt to rebuild all the files that were open when the program crashed, but it will do this as untitled copies for safety.
    You can open the last saved version of any file that was open most times, too, unless the crash occured during a write operation and damaged the file. My tendency is to do a save as to a new name on the recovered files and not overwtite the originals, just in case, but that can be problematic if you have inter-file cross-references. You should be able to either make a new book file, or replace individual documents in the existing book with the new versions.

  • Can I convert an InDesign CS6 interactive file to a PPP?

    Hi,
    I'm designing a company presentation in InDesign CS6, with interactive features.
    It will be exported to several formats, as Flash. However, ID doesn't include PPP.
    Is there a way of exporting the document to a PPP?
    If so, is the interactivity lost (ie. slides export as static)?
    Would it be a workable (ie. editable) PPP?
    Is anybody experienced with this issue?
    Thanks for your help!

    Not sure if the interactive stuff comes along for the ride - my initial thoughts are "no"
    However, PPP animations are much easier to setup, in my opinion.

  • InDesign ICC profile file location

    In InDesign when exporting a PDF, there are different icc color profile files to choose from under the "output" section.
    Most of the files are located in
    user/library/application support/adobe/color/profiles
    But I have one file that I would like to copy to another computer, and I can´t find the darn thing.
    Searching the whole mac does not give any results either.
    Is there a second location for icc-profile files?
    Anyone?

    Hey and thanks for your reply.
    Yes, I have installed the driver package with no luck of finding the file on my new computer.
    Im not entirely sure if the driver package I installed are the same as on my work computer. But I got the newest from Richo representatives, so its current at least.
    I am suspecting the file Im looking for came along with an online update via the App Store. I remember updating Richo something something :/.
    Although the drivers are installed on my new computer, I cant fin the file, and I get no update request in App Store. Maybe my new computer has to be connected to the printer?
    I dont know.
    Strange thing. I cant remember the last time I could not locate a file on my own computer.
    Search reveals nothing. Invisible file search does not either.

  • InDesign CS6 saves file, but crashes when I try to open this file

    Hi,
    I am having a huge problem with Indesign since yesterday. It worked fine before.
    I use Adobe Creative Suite CS6.
    Since yesterday, I have problems with files that I just saved. I can open older files (from before yesterday), but I cannot open any file that I saved recently. Indesign crashes every time I open the file (the file is visible, but right before all the palettes are loaded, Indesign closes down).
    I already saved several files (under different file names) since yesterday, the problem stays the same.
    I already uninstalled and re-installed CS6, it didn't solve the problem.
    This is quite a nightmare. I am thankful for every effort to help!
    All other programs in the Creative Suite work fine!

    It is puzzling indeed. And quite a desaster for me, since I have a deadline to meet.
    No changes, no new installations (not known, maybe updates in the background??).
    InDesign started crashing in the middle of the workprocess. Since then the problem persists.
    When I open an old file and start working on it, InDesign also crashes after a while during the workprocess.
    So I can't work, I can't save files ... booo!
    This happened with an update of a document that I work on all the time, a monthly magazine.
    Maybe it is a Windows problem, although it is strange that all other programs work fine. (I use Windows XP)

  • InDesign/CS6  PDF files

    Hi folks...back again. Hope you can help this newbie.
    Using iMac/Mountain Lion.
    Just completed design file and pulled PDF file. File shows a screened box
    behind type. Checked design file to make sure there is no color printing behind text. InDesign print out is clean.
    Why am I seeing a screened box in the PDF?
    Thanks for your help.

    Pulled?

  • Allow preference file location to be specified.

    I try to keep all my data on a different drive than my system. I back up the data drive regularly, but the system drive only occasionally.
    Lightroom just crashed and tossed my preferences in the irrecoverable bit-bucket while it was at it (or is there a way to recover them?). Unfortunately my backup is old since the location can not be changed and is on the system drive. Thus many of my preferences are gone...
    So, this feature request is two-fold:
    1. Allow user to specify location, so I could have it with the rest of my data that gets backed up. OR, just keep them with the rest of the settings/presets when "keep presets with catalog" is checked - either one would do.
    2. Have Lightroom backup presets and preferences whenever it backs up the catalog. i.e. redefine the "backup catalog" function to be "backup all critical lightroom data".
    Thanks,
    Rob

    Preferences are located
    OSX
    Username]/Library/Preferences folder
    Windows
    Users/[Username]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Lightroom/Preferences folder.
    Most backup applications default to making a backup of the USER data folders, or you can specify the back up software to do so.
    Locating preferences elsewhere would mean it wouldn't be a standard location that any catalog could use and may not be found when installing / re installing LR. Not sure how a crash could actually delete preferences although they could be corrupted during a crash and may need to be re written. Having them in a different location wouldn't prevent that.
    Those using multiply catalogs could also end up with multiply preferences back ups, taken a different times and therefore causing some problems when restored, unless you are suggesting indivual catalog specific preferences which would seem to defeat the whole point of having preferences! If I used more than one catalog, each catalog would require separate plug ins, export presets and all the rest...a nightmare.

  • Dreamweaver CS3 preference file location

    Dreamweaver CS3 was not able to be shut down on a Macintosh,
    and the computer was powered down.
    Now Dreamweaver does not have any of the site information in
    Manage Sites (the window is blank).
    There is a Time Machine backup (OS 10.5) we can restore, but
    where is the Manage Sites preference info stored? Or it could be
    the info in the Files palette we need to restore, I'm not sure
    (it's someone else's computer, who had about 15 sites configured
    through Dreamweaver).
