InDesign links stripped out when relinking to new InCopy file

I am working on a large manual in InDesign CS4. Previously, there was an .incd file linked within the links panel. When I open the .indd file, the box comes up to update the links. We now have a new .icml file from InCopy that I relink to. What is happening is all the links in the link panel as well as within the document are getting stripped out when I link to the new InCopy file. The only file left is the .icml in the links panel.
Has anyone had this happen to them? If so, I would love to know how you fixed it. Or if anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate it.
Thanks.

Hi,Thanks for writing.
I am relinking from an older story to a new one. When the editor upgraded to InCopy CS4 and told me he had completed his updates, within the folder were both the old .incd files as well as the new .icml. I removed the old .incd then opened the InDesign file. When I go to relink by right clicking on the old InCopy file, the new .icml file replaces everything within the links panel within InDesign as well as stripping all linked graphics from the pages.

How to find out when a folder or a file has been renamed?

I need to find out when a folder and some files have been renamed.
This happened when Mac OS X was 10.6 (Leopard Snow), now the Max OS X is Lion.
I use standard HFS+ filesystem format.
In Lion apparently there is a file property "Date Added" that change if a file is renamed, but the same property seems to be unused (e.g. -/-) before Lion.
I have Time Machine backups that help me to know that rename happened within a certain week, but I was looking for something more accurate (at least day accuracy).
If file system metadata can't help, I'm wondering if there is some log that track the first time spotlight indexed a specific file.
Thank you

Maybe you could keep tabs of the file size. If the file size grows (which it will do each time the writing process flushes that files output buffer), then the file was written to.
What I'd like to know is if there is some way to monitor the entire drive for changes and respond to stuff like that. I know that the Win32 API provides services that monitor the file system for changes, but I don't know if other OS's do... or if Java provides an interface to those features.

I have InDesign CS (v 3.0.1) can newer CS4 files be saved to open in this version

I would rather not upgrade if the files can be saved to open In InDesign CS. Thanks
Also can I download the free trial of CS4 and use this to save the file to my older version?.
I received a 500mb file from a client today and would like to solve this problem myself rather than have them re save & re send the file. Thanks, Shawn New Haven, CT

Backward compatibility in Indesign works like this:
Any version of ID can open files from any version up to that release. Once saved in a newer version, files cannot be opened in older versions, with the following exception, of sorts. Beginning with CS2 (version 4) files can be exported to .inx (Interchange Format) which can be opened by the version doing the export and one version earlier. Any features used in the newer version which are not available in the older version will be lost, and text will most likley recompose and change line ending points due to differences in text engines for each version. It is possible to hack CS4 .inx to sometimes make it open in CS2, but it is not guaranteed.
Exporting to back save is not a recommended workflow and should be considered a last resort. If you know a file will need to be opened in an earlier version, you should do all work in that version for best results.

Indesign CS4 freezes when I export to InCopy CS4 or when I update an InCopy File

Indesign CS4 freezes when I export to InCopy or when I update an InCopy CS4 File. I have done some of the troubleshooting steps already and have already re-installed and re-updated through Adobe Updater. But the problem still exists. Anyone have any patches or fixes? Or have had the same issue and fixed it?
I'm working on a Power Mac G5 with OSX version 10.4.11

I am having the same issue with Flash CS4. Did you find a solution?

Why is the "open with" option always grayed out when I click on a file link?

For example, when accessing an email account with firefox and I click on an .mp3 attachment the "open with" choice is always grayed out. This issue is not exclusive to email attachments rather all file links that I click on any site give me the same result. I am using MAC OS X Mavericks.
How can I restore the "open with" selection?
Thanks for your time,
Chris Woods

You can try rename (or delete) the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all file actions.

Indesign CS4 Premium freezing when you open new document

I have a serious issue with my CS4 Premium. Indesign freezes/crashes when ever i start the program and open a new document. I have deleted the prefrences folder, uninstalled and installed more than once, and tried all the troubleshooting steps on the Adobe website. I have also deleted the SING folder in fonts, deleted caches, and tried a trial version of indesign on my Mac but it has the same problem. This does not happen with other CS4 apps and I dont know what else to do but . I downloaded the update but it is not fixing it.
2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Mac OS X Version 10.5.6

I just got off the phone with Adobe support. The problem seems to be with a file in the SING folder (Library > Application Support > Adobe > SING). When this folder was moved to the Desktop and InDesign restarted, the program operated properly.
Then some additional investigation was done. After InDesign was shut down, the SING folder was moved back into the Adobe folder and opened. Inside the SING folder were a pair of nested folders: Mark II > Datastore. The file SINGmeta.dat inside the Datastore folder was trashed and the program restarted. Again it and worked properly. (Although, for some reason, a Sample Button library window was opened?! I've never used it.)
One piece of background: the only difference between my earlier use of InDesign and my current use was that earlier I was working on a Mac G5. I transferred the files to a new Quad-Core Intel Xeon machine and couldn't open it there.
Having spent several hours troubleshooting this, I hope this helps someone.

Network times out when itunes re-sent lost files but not for new purchases.

My backup drive crashed and lost all my itunes files. Itunes was kind enough to re-send all my purchases (1 time only offer). The only problem is, I can't download them. My downloads shows over 700 files available for download but when I to download them it gives me the "unable to check for available downloads" and "your network connection timed out". I tried all the usual tricks, I uninstalled and re-installed itunes, turned off all anti-virus and firewalls, I ran the flushdns, I did the IE "uncheck security certificate". Nothing. Here's the kicker, I purchased a different television series from itunes store and it downloaded without any problems. I even tried to simultaneously check available downloads as the new TV series was downloading and it still have the same error message.
Any ideas?

With 700 downloads, you are probably going to have to go back to itunes support and ask them to split your downloads up into chunks. Other folks have had to ask itunes store support to put 99 items in their download queue, then the next 99, until they are all downloaded.
Ask them to do that for you. Don't open a new ticket; just keep replying to whatever case you had already opened.

Static in Audio Out when Loading a new webpage.

Whenever I use the audio out port, for example plugging in a headphone, I would get a spike of static whenever I load a new web-page in Firefox or any internet browser. I can restart the computer and it would go away for like a few hours. Could the network card be causing a charge in the audio out port? Really weird and annoying bug.

Logged out when opening a new private tab

I generally like the new Safari in OS X Yosemite, but I think there is a misfeature in the private window feature. If you follow these steps:
1. Open a private window
2. Log in to a web site that requires logging in
3. Open a page on that site by Cmd+clickling a link or selecting "Open Link in New Private Tab" from the context menu
Result: you are logged in in the first tab, but not on the second tab. This makes efficient use of tabs difficult in private mode.
What I expect to happen with the steps above: I have two pages from the same site open in two private tabs, and I'm logged in in both of them.
I tried to look in the settings if it was possible to change the behaviour from there, but had no luck. Does anyone else think this is cumbersome behaviour for a web browser?

Hi ..
I agree.

InDesign 5.5 crashes when generating PDF from book file

I hope someone can help!
My employer has agreed to upgrade from CS3 to CS5.5 and I will receive the install disks next week. In the meantime, I downloaded the trial version of CS 5.5 Design Premium and installed only Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, and Acrobat. I kept CS3 on my system.
My problem is with InDesign5.5. I can generate a PDF of a single page, but I cannot do the same for a multi-page document (10 or so files) from the book window. InDesign immediately crashes (unexpected close message) but doesn't close until I force quit the application. When both CS3 and CS5.5 were on my machine, I was having the same problem even with CS3.
I removed CS5.5, but still had the same problem with CS3. Tried reinstalling CS3, but continued to have the same problem. Removed CS3 and re-downloaded CS5.5. Same problem. Removed CS5.5 again and completed a fresh install of CS3. This finally worked to allow me to use CS3 successfully again.
However, I need to be able to work with newer InDesign files that have been created in ID5.5 and can't do this without installing the new disks that arrive next week.
What can be the problem?
OS: Windows XP Professional 2002, SP 3
Computer: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T9600, 2.80 GHz
Memory: 3.48 GB of RAM
Video card: 512 MB NVIDIA Quadro RX 2700M
Thank you!

Yes, I would try to create a new master document and import the separate files. Even if you have saved all files to CS5.5 spec, there might still be some lingering meta data from the previous version and a fresh import might at least reveal such conflicts or ideally provide a clean slate by dismissing this outdated legacy stuff on import. If you are happy with CS5.5 and everything works, you can get rid of CS3, but I recommend to keep it around, even if you don't use it actively (maening löeave it installed, only deactivate it). Especially the CS3 installer is a fragile creature and a uninstall gone wrong might cause you more trouble than just letting it catch dust on your harddrive. See this article and the other ones related to it on my site for some considerations.

When I start new project files from previous project are displayed

WIN 8 PRE 9   PAL (UK)
I have PRE 9 since new and gave up with it as it contuinually crashed.   I am trying again but find when I open a new project all the old media files are displayed on the right.   I delete them and then drag and drop new ones in, but it still shows the old ones.   File names are the same as previous project but in a different drive and directory.   When I try to do anything it asks where are the old,deleted, files
I thought with version 9 the problewms would be ironed out.   Apparently not.
I have found DVD Styler Freeware is excellent and produced a simple DVD in about 5 minutes.   I may be doing something wrong in PRE9 but do I need to be Steven Speilberg to get a basic DVD burned?

I believe you have two problems. One of misunderstanding, and one of having moved / deleted files from your hard disks.
The misunderstanding:
Premiere Elements consists of two separate but connected programs - the Editor with which you create your video projects and the Organizer which is a media manager into which you can import still images, videos, sounds and PDF files and then rank, organize, tag, make albums from and do many other activities.
The Media pane in the Organize tab in the Premiere Elements Editor is a mini-view to the main Organizer program and will show you all the media on your computer that you have imported into it. This initial panel is NOT project specific. To see the media for the specific project you look to the Project pane in the Organizer tab.
These pages from the manual at http://help.adobe.com/archive/en_US/premiereelements/9/premiereelements_9_help.pdf may be helpful:
Moving/Deleting Files problem - the 'Where is ...' issue
The Organizer is a database and records the where and name of media files that you have imported into it. So long as you use the folder and file management features of the Organizer, it keeps track of the files. But the moment you use Windows Explorer to move or delete files this does NOT update the Organizer database and it loses track of them.
The Editor also keeps track of files used in Projects. If these files are moved or deleted, then the Editor will prompt for their location.
Resolution
For the Organizer issue use Find> All Missing Files (in the Elements Organizer, not the Editor) . After a while you will see a list of all files in the Organizer for which the originals are no longer in their recorded location. As it sounds as though you are not making use of the Organizer, the simplest way to resolve this is to select them all and press Delete. This will delete them from the catalog.
For the Editor issue, put copies of the files back where the Editor is looking for them, then in the Project pane of the Organizer tab delete them from there. Then you can delete the copies from the hard disk.
You might also find the Elements 9 Organizer manual of help - http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ElementsOrganizer/9.0/Using/index.html

Images are not coming out when application running through jar file.

I have written an application program using j2sdk1.4.1 that needs your help.
My application folder's contents.....................
     C:\Examination\Examination.class <-----This is the main class and application's entry point.
     C:\Examination\ExamBox.class
     C:\Examination\PaperSetterBox.class
     C:\Examination\pspBox.class
     C:\Examination\epBox.class
     C:\Examination\TimerBox.class
     C:\Examination\ReportCardBox.class
     C:\Examination\HelpBox.class
     C:\Examination\AboutBox.class
     C:\Examination\Images\(some jpg & gif files)
     C:\Examination\Sounds\(some au files)
Compilation Report:     There was no error.
Execution Report :     Was working properly using the command:- java Examination
Now, I created a jar file for my application in the following steps.................................
          STEP-1:          Firstly, I created a text file(mainclassInfo.txt) that contains
          the line:--     Main-Class: Examination
          This line would be automatically added to the default manifest file when I would include the                name of that text file with the command to create the jar file.
          Location of the text file I created:     C:\mainClassInfo.txt
          STEP-2:          Then I went to C:\Examination and executed the following command(by using                'Command prompt'):--------------------------------------------------------------------
jar cmf C:\mainClassInfo.txt Examination.jar Examination.class ExamBox.class PaperSetterBox.class pspBox.class epBox.class TimerBox.class ReportCardBox.class HelpBox.class AboutBox.class Images Sounds
Finally, I got the jar file:-     Examination.jar
Double clicking on it application ran as it was expected.
Then, I thought, that as all the files & folders the application needed to run properly were packaged in the jar file; I should delete all the contents of the folder 'Examination', so that no one could see or use anything of the resources easily. I did that.
So, then it became only:-- C:\Examination\Examination.jar
Thereafter, I tried to run the application again and there a problem occurred! The application was running, but the images, those were to be used and shown by the application were missing somehow!!
Moreover, when I kept a copy of those 2 folders('Images' and 'Sounds') into the C:\Examination and ran the application again all the images came out normally!
I just can't understand why it's happening so mysterious?
I don't want to leave anything of the resources in an open place; I mean, outside of the jar file. The images should be used and shown by the application.
Help me please!
