Indesign keeps wanting to save books as new

Hi,
I am getting fed up with indesign, if when quitting or whatever it offers to save changes to a book, I click ok and it opens a save as dialogue. These are new books in the latest format, previously created and saved on another day.
Why does it do that? Is it just another bug to add to the list I have?

Does it duplicate the files or is just the annoyance to have to save it every time? What version of ID are you using, Mac/Windows?

  • Keep upgrading, or save for a new Mac?

    I have a MacBook 3,1 that I got in early 2008 with 80GB, a 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, and I recently installed 4GB of RAM on my machine. The RAM has greatly improved my system's performance, and now that leads me to my question:
    Should I consider upgrading this machine a bit more by installing Lion (I'm running Snow Leopard now), getting more hard drive space, and buying a magic trackpad (for the gestures), or would that money be better spent going towards a new MacBook Pro? If I figure conservatively, that would run me an additional $300 give or take.
    What limitations would I have running Lion on this older machine? I'd like to squeeze another two years out of it if possible, but I don't want to do it at the risk of performance and general frustration from a laggy machine.
    I don't do anything too intensive on my computer, just basic internet surfing and college paper writing. I might open up a music notation software or a game here and there, but I spend maybe 2% of my time in these programs.
    Any advice?

    It's not a mis-scan.  Apple officially states that it can support up to 4gb, however, it can actually accomidate 6gb according to mactracker as seen here:
    Regarding the remaining 30gb of HDD space, I can not anticipate on how much storage you may use over the next few years (and Im sure you have no way of knowing either )  I see various posts here claiming that you should keep somewhere around 15% of your hard drive free (although others here say that's not true, and to be honest, I am still looking for an explaination on which is correct).  Here is an excellent vendor of hard drives, so you can get an idea of prices:http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/.  80 gb is a rather small hard drive these days.  I bought a 240gb for a pc laptop I own for like $45, so upgrading the HDD is not a bad option.  If you like Lion and its features, no reason not to upgrade, that's a fine reason .  Just be aware that some applications you have may no longer work with Lion.  Apple switched from PowerPC processors to intel processors in 2006, and created the Rosetta emulator so companies would have time to update software to run on intel processors.  Rosetta was discontinued with the release of Lion.  Check this list to make sure any apps you have are still supported: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

  • InDesign asking me to save but no changes made

    My workgroup of graphic artists is currently using InDesign CS5 (7.0.3) on Windows XP. Just recently I've noticed that when I open another designer's InDesign file, before I even make any changes, I get the asterisk next to the file name. I go to close the file and it asks if I want to save my changes. I haven't modified the file in any way, I don't even click anywhere with my mouse. I just open, then close, and I get the message asking me to save. Any ideas?
    Is this somehow tied to the update from 7.0 to 7.0.3? Becuase this never seemed to happen before, unless I didn't notice it.

    G'day
    Also as you say your workgroup artists created the file so the links in the file could be updating when you open it.
    Every time I open a file created on the other mac here it asks if I would like to update the links, the links are located in the same place but because the file is opened on another machine the links are in another location for the second machine. This alone would cause Indesign to want to save changes.

  • I changed a password to a frequesntly used site. Firefox has not asked me if I want to save this new password and I have to keep changing the saved one to the correct one. How do I get it to save the new password?

    I have websites I use for my employer that require a password. The employer requires these be changed periodically. Always before, if I changed the password, about the second or third time I tried to log in and changed the saved password to the correct one, Firefox would ask if I wanted to save the new password. It is not doing this now. How can I get it to save a new password? It keeps putting in the old one.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.

    In Illustrator, I have a saved artwork, then I'm saving a copy as PDF, as usual.
    After I keep the AI file open, making some modifications which I don't want to save, so I close the file and click "Don't Save".
    Even though I clicked that, the file's modification time is changing.
    (The modifications I made are not there, so it's not really saving but why the date is changing then?)
    Please find the cause of it! Thank you!

    All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

  • InDesign keeps shutting down, even after reinstall. I want to know how to get technical support

    I feel your pain Robert. I do believe VZW and Apple knew all along the I6 Plus would not be available on 19 Sep and that it was a way to bolster new contracts, renewed contracts and apple sales stats. It's unfortunate the company wasn't more clairvoyant, most of us would have still pre-ordered but been a little less frustrated.

  • My husband and I share the same I cloud. I want to create a new I cloud for his I phone but it keeps wanting to ask questions about my apple ID and password. I don't want to change my apple ID or password.  How can I set him up a new account w/o changing

    My husband and I have been sharing an I cloud account.  He can't update his phone due to our shared account.  I want to get him a new account and was told to delete the current I cloud account off his phone and just create a new one.  The problem is that it wants to keep accessing the old one.  I don't want my I cloud account changed.  I don't know what to do.  Any advice?

    Did he have find my iPhone enabled under that iCloud account?  If so, add the account back to his phone.  Then in the iCloud account settings, disable find my iPhone first (you will be prompted for your password), then remove the account.
    Now you can create or add a new iCloud account to it using his own AppleID.
    Alternatively, you could log in to your www.icloud.com account in a web browser.  Using the find my iPhone app there, remove his iPhone from your list of associated devices (he will have to power his iPhone off for you to do that).
    After his iPhone is set up for his own iCloud account, on your iPhone, go to
    settings->iCoud->Storage & Backup->Manage Storage and delete his iPhone's backup file to make more room on your own iCloud storage account.

    Thanks. I messed up with my husbands iphone because I was told the wrong thing. Now everytime I sync his phone it makes it look just like the other phone I had. Do you know how I can fix taht for his phone? Any settings I can turn off that will prevent all of my apps/contacts, etc from auto populating his phone?

    All content from iTunes is tied to the account that bought/downloaded it, and it can't currently be transferred to a different account. If you don't know the account's password nor it's security questions (http://iforgot.apple.com), then you could try contacting iTunes support and see if they can help you get access to it : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
