InDesign preferences not showing up

I've tried the two methods suggested in an earlier post.  neither worked.  When I looked at the hidden files, only found one of the two files.  I found the InDesign Defaults, changed the name and restarted ID only to have an error message next to paragraph preferences.   Any other suggestions to get this to work??
These are normally hidden files, so you will need to set your system to show them. They will be found in various places depending on the OS, and the version of InDesign. (Edit: For Mac users running OSX 10.7 or newer, you can learn how to show hidden files here: Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 Lion)
InDesign Defaults:
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<USER>\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\<Version #>\<language>\  (Note: Prior to version 6 [CS4] the language folder is not used).
Windows Vista or Windows 7: C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\InDesign\<Version #>\<Language>\ (Note: Prior to version 6 [CS4] the language folder is not used).
Macintosh: Hard Drive/Users/<USER>/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign/<Version #>/<Language>/(Note: Prior to version 6 [CS4] the language folder is not used).
InDesign SavedData:
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<USER>\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\<Version #>\<Language>\Caches\ (Note: Prior to version 6 [CS4] the language folder is not used).
Windows Vista or Windows 7: C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Local\Adobe\InDesign\<Version #>\<Language>\Caches\  (Note: Prior to version 6 [CS4] the language folder is not used).
Macintosh: Hard Drive/Users/<USER>/Library/Caches/Adobe InDesign/<Version #>/<Language>/ (Note: Prior to version 6 [CS4] the language folder is not used).
In some earlier versions of ID, InDesign SavedData may also be found in the first directory.

The way to keep things together is to respond to a post instead of starting a new topic, which you have done correctly, here. Thanks.
I think I asked you in one of the other threads to post a screen shot of the empty panel. You do that by using the camera icon on the web page to embed your image like this:

    Ever since I updated InDesign CC (2014) approximately 22 days ago... I CANNOT get the welcome screen to not come on at the launch on InDesign. I set the preferences in InDesign to NOT show the welcome screen upon launch, but it will NOT hold the preferences i choose. Anyone else have any other ideas? I am about to lose my mind... I hate you ADOBE!!!

    that s just the problem, that is why my level of frustration is boiling over ... I have told InDesign over and over again "Do Not Show Again" but it will just not hold the settings. It might hold it for a day or so, but then suddenly there it is again on another launch. Very very annoying.

  • ICal Preferences not showing

    In web based iCal in iCloud, I select preferences under the settings "gear" icon, nothing happens, ie. no preference pane shows.
    Anyone else experiencing this?

    Update: In my case it was Ghostery that caused the preference pane to not show up. Disabling the Ghostery blocking solved the problem.
    Ghostery is a neat program that blocks all junk javascripts from executing. Makes surfing a real pleasure and speeds it up no end. Not affiliated with Ghostery in any way, just a satisfied user of it.

  • Quicktime preferences not showing

    Hi,
    I recently installed windows 7 64 bit (not an option under operating system. Vista was closest). When I go to Quicktime player, then click EDIT for Preferences then finally click Quicktime Preferences. Nothing shows. Is there a registry edit or anything else I can do to have quicktime preferences show? I've already uninstalled and re-installed.
    Thanks for any help
    UPDATE: Comodo firewall was the culprit even though I gave Quicktime full permission. Hope this helps someone also.
    Message was edited by: JHAPPLE

    I am following the instructions per Apple Site on navigating the installation of QuickTime Pro Player Pro.  However, it is not showing uo in the SysPref and cannot register.
    Follow the updated instructions for Snow Leopard, Lion, and Mountain Lion operating systems. Registration of QT 7 Pro using the System Preferences window has not been used on a Mac OS X OS since Leopard.
    I tried registering it via entering the license via the program but it did not work either. Screen says that it is pro but does not go a way after entering reg license. When I try to use the Pro features they are not available.
    What more do you want than to have the screen confirm that the "Pro" features have been activated. If it is the registration window you want to go away (close), then simply press the red circle in the upper right-hand corner to close the window. If you have made any changes to the system's QT codec component configuration or modified "legacy" codec use, also be sure to quit and re-open the application to rebuild the available codecs list. If you still don't have access to the "Pro" features, then apply normal system troubleshooting techniques.
    Am I missing something?
    I don't know. It is difficult to tell since you haven't really indicated what you did do. However, since you indicated the registration window confirmed your name and code entries were accepted, I can only assume that you either failed to close the registration window, you failed to load an edit compatible file to the app (i.e., the editing features are context adaptive so you must open a file before they become available), or you loaded a non-edit compatible file for editing that is preventing the features you are expecting to be available.

  • System Preferences not showing all pictures in Desktop & Screensaver

    This problem only happened recently, whenever i go into system pref to change my desktop i do not see all the preview pics from my picture folder. Even though i do not see them in the system pref window i can still click on them and it will still set them as my desktop. Would having alot of high res pictures make them not show in system pref?
    Ibook g4 12''   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    it is possible that with a large volume of large res pix in that folder that the little "preview icons" take some time to generate. Also, i have noticed that not all my graphic files will generate a "preview" even if the app in question can utilize and read the file.

  • Image in indesign file not showing in pdf export - help!

    Hi there -
    Exporting my indesign file to a pdf has been fine up til now - all the images and text are showing up fine except for one. The image is one that I edited in Photoshop (CS4) - it's a drop shadow layer. I then placed it in Indesign and fiddled with its opacity. And then I exported. Literally, everything else in this rather substantial file is fine. I increased the opacity of the image to 100% and it did actually show up in the pdf, as it appeared on indesign. Then I tried decreasing the opacity by a minimal amount (to 85% - I'm aiming for around 45%) and it disappeared again. Not sure how to fix this. Thanks for any help
    (in Indesign)    (in the pdf)

    Just so you know that Steve isn’t blowing smoke, this is a well known problem with Preview. It works just fine for PDFs out of Word and the like but is simply not up to the task of handling advanced features.

  • Why are my Indesign files not showing up in Bridge

    I downloaded CC 2014 at the same time as transferring my files to a new computer.  Now on Bridge, the only files showing up are jpgs and pdfs.  Any idea how to integrate the indesign and photoshop into Bridge?

    Firstly, you're using <audio> which is a HTML5 tag, but your doctype shows XHTML1. Change this:
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    to this:
    <!DOCTYPE html>
    Browsers go to quirks mode when they see a major doctype conflict such as this one.
    Secondly, HTML5 Audio is not fully supported/ native in some browsers - especially older ones. You can consider using a 3rd party HTML5 player such as http://mediaelementjs.com/ because they usually have a fallback mechanism to ensure your file works on older browsers.
    Another observation: There is no space between 2 attributes in your code.
        <source src="music/Commercial Demo.wav"type="audio/wav"/>
    Should ideally be like this:
        <source src="music/Commercial Demo.wav" type="audio/wav"/>
    Note the space between src and type.

  • Button Background images created in Indesign do not show up in PDF on some computers.

    I have created buttons that let somone swap one image for another in a PDF in Indesign and the copied and pasted the form fields from the exported PDF to the main PDF document.  An example can be seen here:  http://lustreproducts.com/PDFs/may11/Round_Worksheet.pdf
    The button images for the ends of the handrails seems to work on most computers, however, some people can't see them on their computer for some reason.  I thought it may be because they have too old a version of Reader maybe?  But the PDF should be compatible with Reader 7. Anyone else know what might be causing this?
    Thanks

    Perhaps they are not using Reader at all. Lots of Mac users mistakenly think Preview is capable of displaying complex PDFs and don't bother to download Reader.

  • System preferences not showing

    I recently had to re-install my entire system from original DVDs, then used Time Machine to re-capture all my data. After Updating the software, I had several programs not operating. I did a Custom Install which solved everything except System Preferences and Preview. They are dead Icons with a "?" on my Dock and do not appear in the Applications Folder.
    Does anyone have a clue how to solve this?

    Hello Al,
    Just a thought.   There is a Combo update for 10.6.8 which you can download and apply over the top of any other updates.   Still takes a bit of time but it is useful to know this often corrects minor glitches in the system.   If the problem comes up again, try it.
    Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
    Usually you should follow up with software updates just in case there are security or iTunes updates.

  • Problems with some preferences not showing

    I seem to have problem with Mac OS X Leopard system prefences, some settings like "Sound" and "Displays" don´t show anything, only blank page. I installed Leopard first without any language packs and only after that I installed the desired language so I´m guessing this is the root of the problem? I tried reinstalling the language pack but it did not change the situation.
    Is there any hacks to make those work? This is minor issue but still annoying. The machine is iMac G5 so PowerPC version of Leopard.

    You surely had to have one language pack present in order to install.  What is the desired language you added later?

  • Fonts not showing up in InDesign CC 64bit

    I find it extremely difficult to believe that Adobe have not found a solution to the issue of installed fonts not showing up in InDesign. If anybody has found a solution that does not include the "rewriting" of font types. Please assist. We specialize in Brand Management, and it becomes extremely challenging when Adobe InDesign does not show up the installed font in order to ensure Brand Management :/

    POSSIBLE SOLUTION
    I'm not sure if this is the cause for anyone else, but I had the same symptoms--almost no fonts showing up in InDesigns Font dropdown options.
    THE SOLUTION:  The new version of ID has two "font filter toggle button". They are the "Apply Favorite Filter", and "Apply Typekit Filter". It seem that in my install, the Typekit filter was on by default, which makes it so that the Font list only displays those fonts that originate from Typekit, as opposed to the thousand you have on your hard drive.
    Click the toggle to turn off the filter and --zowee! All your fonts come right back.
    I hope this helps some of you. It would also explain why people on both Macs and Windows boxes are having this issue.
    Best,
    Lance

  • Fonts not showing in inDesign

    A am using (in two different offices) Extensis Fusion 3 and Universal Type Server 3 (UTS) and both are having the same issue. I am on Windows 7, 64bit with Adobe CS5 with Adobe font collection. All licenced and legit versions.
    This issue has been happening for a couple years and I have finally had enough and need it resolved. Computers have come and gone, fresh installs etc etc but we are still having the same issues.
    Randomly sometimes Indesign is not showing activated fonts in indesign. This usually happens with Helvetica Neue Light 45 for some reason but can happen to other fonts, usually the ones we need at the time.
    The most recent case is that we cannot get the fonts we need (although activated) and we can see other fonts that are not activated?
    Has anyone experienced this before?

    Sorry that you're having issues with activation. Could you please contact support directly to diagnose the issue? It could be an issue with the font itself, and could benefit from inspection.
    Contact support at: http://www.extensis.com/support

  • Mail preferences not sticking

    I access iCloud email via the web when I'm at work (Win XP SP3 + latest release of Chrome).  Recently (as in over the past couple weeks, give or take) my preferences (not showing images in HTML email, default email address for sending, show BCC, etc.) are not sticking permanently.  Sometimes I make/save the changes and they stay for days; other times (like this morning) they don't even stay set for an hour.  My rules are always there, but the other preferences need to be reset periodically -- and seemingly randomly -- to their default values.
    I have deleted all cookies, cleared the cache, etc.  I have not tried another browser because (1) it could be days between "resets" and I don't want to have to use another browser for that long just for troubleshooting and (2) I need this to work in Chrome, so whether it works in another browser is more or less moot.  No matter what troubleshooting steps I've taken, the problem recurs unpredictably.  It is very frustrating because I have to keep a constant eye on the "From" address when replying or sending new messages to mailing lists I'm on (which reject messages from the address that iCloud defaults to), plus with the option defaulting to "On" to show images in HTML email, I'm opening myself up to even more spam than usual.
    So two questions:
    Is anyone else having this same issue?
    Why are these preferences apparently stored in cookies rather than persisting on Apple's server?  Or if they ARE on Apple's server, why do I have to keep changing them back periodically?
    Thanks,
    Brent

    As follow-up, just since I posted this message and without reloading the iCloud tab, restarting the browser, or anything like that, the preferences have once again reverted themselves less than an hour after I changed them.
