Indesign CS6 tool selection problem

I can't select tools within indesign CS6 on my Macbook pro retina, running windows 7 via bootcamp. I have tried deleting preferences which had no effect. Any ideas?

Thank you Peter, that was the problem, everything is working perfectly now.

  • Why does Indesign CS6 Tools panel cover up the left side rulers?

    Every time I open a window in Indesign CS6 I have to slide the window to the right so I can use the left-hand ruler and the x close button. Is there any way to change this in preferences? Or is this a glitch?
    Thanks!

    It is actually not a preference.
    Method 1: Go to menu WINDOWS->ARRANGE
    Method 2: Move the window with the mouse. When the window edges touch the tool bar edges, the window should be framed by a blue frame. Let go and it will be tabbed.

  • InDesign CS6 interactive pdf problem

    Hi, I've created an interactive pdf using InDesign CS6; document contains text fields and radio buttons. When exported the radio buttons flicker when you hover over them or click to make a selelction. Does anyone know how to prevent this? Many thanks

    I have a hunch it could be an Acrobat/Reader limitation.
    Set up a part of the form without the radio buttons but just use circles. Export a PDF and open in Acrobat. Use Acrobat's Form Field Recognition to turn the circles into radio buttons (or use Acrobat's form feature to create radio buttons with the same value).
    I doubt it's InDesign that's the problem.

  • Glitchy cursor and tool selection problems

    Hello all,
    I recently updated to the latest version of Premiere Pro AND OS X Yosemite. Today I opened Premiere for the first time since the update and started editing.
    Upon editing I began to realize that every time I try to make an edit buy using the razor tool, or any tool for that matter the mouse glitches.
    For example: When I try and grad the end of a clip and drag, the cursor bounces between the red arrow and my mouse cursor. Does that make sense?
    Also, when I have ANY tool selected it shows my mouse cursor in stead of the icon for the tool. And when I have the selection tool selected to drag a clip it is selecting the rolling edit tool, or the ripple edit tool making it almost impossible to make the edits that I need.
    So, my question is, Is this a Premiere Pro bug or a Mac bug? And can I go about fixing this somehow?
    Thanks for any help you can give me.

    I did just find out that the new hard drive that was put into my computer (i needed more space) is a hybrid. Is this going to be a big factor to these problems? Both me and the other co-worker have hybrid hard drives.

  • Export ePUB from inDesign CS6 - polish fonts problem

    I have to make ePUB with polish fonts.
    I create a simple one page document in inDesign CS6 and export it to ePUB. All fonts are embedded.
    When I check it in Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) there is problem with polish fonts (ż, ł). ADE doesn't read it correctly. Other readers do it in right way.
    Is it a problem with inDesign or ADE?

    The ADE provides a preview, and nothing more than that. Actual viewers have other, more, or less capabilities -- some don't support embedded fonts, others do but with limitations, etc.

    .. that's why bookstores need ePUB to be compatibile with this ADE.
    E-Pub is still in its infancy. There is no general "e-pub" standard that *all* viewers are compatible with, other than the very lowest common denominator (which may very well mean "plain text").

  • InDesign CS6 : Custom Preflight problems

    HI:
    I can create a new custom preflight profile, but when I apply it to a document, InDesign freezes.
    I've tried various documents.
    I tried just adding minor checks to the preflight profile, but still with no luck.
    Thanks,

    CS6 on OSX 10.8

    It's not happening to me when I create a custom profile in InDesign CS6. I'm running Mac OS X 10.7.4.
    I note that you appear to be using prerelease Mountain Lion OS X software (10.8). Perhaps there is a conflict between beta OS X software and InDesign.

  • Help! InDesign CS6 tools not working

    Hello,
    I recently upgraded to CS6 on my PC and have run into some issues with InDesign. None of the tool buttons in the top ribbon or on my side menu function properly. For example, if I make a text box and wish to change the font, I can't select the font drop down menu, nor can I change the size of the type. This also happens when I create a shape and want to change size, color, line weight, line type, etc. Pages do not work either and I have had to use the bottom page navigation.
    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but the problem did not go away. Any thoughts or suggestions?  Thank you!

  • Photoshop CS5 Pen tool Selection problem?

    I've been using photoshop for a while, and have never encountered this problem. I've had CS5 for about a year now and this is the first time it has done this, so hopefully someone can help me!
    When I open photoshop, everything works. I make a new layer, go to use the pen tool,  make my shape and then complete it, and the line solidifies showing its a complete shape. I right click, and select the option: Make Selection.
    Instead of turning the inside of the shape into the selected part, it selects everything outside of it!
    I can't for the life of me figure out how this started happening, as it didn't do it a few days ago. I must have hit a button or something, but its still very annoying. Hopefully someone can help! Restarting both the program and the computer, does not help.

    There's a button for that up in the options area, when a Path Tool is active.    It's been a while...  Ah, here:
    I'm betting you have the one next to it pressed.
    Look at your path icons in the PATHS panel.  If they're white inside, you're creating an enclosed path.  If they're gray inside with a white surround, you're removing a path from the surroundings.

  • Tool selection problem

    I do not understand why whenever I go to select the rectangle/polygon(or other similar tools) sometimes-in the options bar-the path functions(subtract from area, add to shape area etc) are NOT available.
    The one who is always available is the "create new shape layer".
    What might be the cause of the above problem?

    This can happen when no layer is selected, e.g. when pressing with move tool on any pixel on the background layer. It is observed on all photoshops, CS2 for example.

  • Photoshop CS6 Layer selection problem

    In a layerd PSD file when trying to move the content of a layer with a mouse upon clicking in the work space my selected layer becomes unselected and the layer that I have my mouse over becomes seleted and tries to move that layer instead. Trying to move the layer with up and down and left and right works fine. I also have PS5.1 and it works fine. This is quite frustrating. Don't see anything in preferences about layer selection.

    Disable autoselect in the Options Bar for the Move Tool.

    Hallo,
    versuche verzweifelt aus einer Exceltabelle mit ca. 10 Spalten einen kleinen Katalog zu generieren. Klappt soweit auch. Nur wenn in einem Feld keine Angaben sind, weil es dort z.B. kein Attribut gibt, verweigert Indesign den Import. Es kommt dann folgende Fehlermeldung:

    Die ausgewählte Datenquelle hat mindestens einen leeren Feldnamen. Reparieren Sie die Datei oder wählen Sie eine andere Datei aus.
    OK

  • InDesign CS6 PDF export problem

    I have tried to export to print-ready PDF a fairly straightforward A4 advet.  There's nothing complicated or unusual about the file - its based on ones we've successfully done previously.
    However, this one give me a 'FAiled to Export the PDF file' error - but nothing more.  I have tried restarting the Mac but to no avail.
    Any ideas?

    What Mac? What PDF settings? What fonts, paragraph styles, linked files, other fancies? You will have to provide a lot more info. in any case, ask in the ID forum...

  • UI font wrong in InDesign CS6 after Mavericks upgrade

    This is a tiny but niggling issue with InDesign CS6 post upgrading to Mavericks.
    After upgrading from 10.8, palettes and drop downs that used to have their text in regular weight Lucida Grande now have them in something slightly less legible (maybe Geneva?). The bold Lucida Grande (e.g. when you have a swatch or paragraph style selected) is as it always was, but somehow the regular weight is gone.
    The main dialogue boxes and windows also all work fine, it's just the palettes and drop downs etc.
    Illustrator CS6, Photoshop CS6 and Bridge CS6 also seem as they were under 10.8. InDesign CS4 and CS5 also unchanged under Mavericks compared to 10.8 – so only InDesign CS6 has the problem as far as I can see.
    Have tried it on two Macs and had the same experience.
    I did read that Apple had introduced a new version of Lucida Grande with four weights instead of two, so I wondered if that had something to do with it, but Font Explorer on both Macs I've tried only show two weights of Lucida Grande. I did try reinstalling Mavericks in case I'd accidentally deleted something, but that made no difference.
    Anyone else noticed this?
    Thanks!

    Yep, here's one of the swatches palette in CS6 and the print dialogue in CS6; plus the same two in CS5 on same machine.
    On the CS6 swatches, the unselected colours aren't in Lucida (the 1's don't have the bar at the bottom) but the selected swatch is. In CS5, all in Lucida.
    On the print dialogue, it's just the white panel on left of box which has always been Lucida before, as it is still on CS5 grab, but changing to something else in CS6.
    Blink and you miss it!
