InDesign Reinstall Help

Last night InDesign somehow disappeared from my dock (Mac). I didn't need the program anymore for the evening and went to bed. This morning, it was still gone and when I located it it wouldn't open. It told me to uninstall and then reinstall it and gave me the Error Code: 11. I uninstalled it but have no idea how to reinstall it. Please help. I have an impending deadline.

Hey kglad,
I appreciate the response! I called support and, after a long phone call, got it sorted.
Thanks again!

J3liu1 I would recommend reviewing the installation log files for the specific error message which you are facing. You can find details on how to locate an interpret your installation log files at Troubleshoot installation with install logs | CS3, CS4.

InDesign CS3 Help Menu opens constantly

The InDesign CS3 Help Menu opens constantly every time I click anywhere in a document to do anything.
Such as draw a box, insert type, anything. It virtually renders the program unuseable. I click to make an addition to a doc, travel up to the help menu to close it, do my thing, then repeat for the next action. Reinstalling has not stopped this. I cannot disable the Help Menu (which would be a fine solution BTW). I cannot afford to upgrade to CS4 right now. I am not sure that would stop it anyway. Photoshop, Illustrator, no other program in the CS3 suite exhibits this behavior. Anybody got any ideas? I recently recreated my whole OS and all programs on a new hard drive out of necessity. InDesign was doing this before that rebuild, and it does it now (after the reinstall). CS3 was reinstalled clean. That did solve a serial # issue with Acrobat where it wouldn't launch. I didn't transfer anything from the old hard drive except e-mail and internet settings.
Mac Pro Quad
Leopard 10.5.7
4 gigs ram
2 terrabytes internal hard drive space (four drives).
Thanks for any help in advance, I appreciate your time.

Are you using the default keyboard shortcut set or a custom one? Also, are you using any special mouse, keyboard or tablet input devices?
Try going to Edit->Keyboard Shortcuts->Help menu Product Area and see what the default Help shortcut is. Perhaps it has been set to something crazy like "mouse click". You may just set the Keyboard Shortcuts back to [Default] set and see if that does the trick too.
Alternatively, something either software or hardware related in your setup is frequently triggering that event, which may be the case if you have a non-apple kbd, mouse etc installed.

InDesign JavaScript "help" file

I have used Jongware's InDesign JavaScript help files and have really found them essential. I am grateful for his efforts to make these available.
I am primarily a FrameMaker user and Adobe is going to provide ExtendScript support for the next version of FrameMaker. The FrameMaker object model is shown in the ExtendScript Toolkit CS5 Object Model Viewer. I would like to do something similar to what Jongware did in extracting the data to a series of HTML files. I am having difficulty figuring out where this data is stored. I can't find an XML file that contains the data. I am mainly posting this here because I haven't been able to contact Jongware directly. Thanks in advance for any help.

Oops :-) Yeah to avoid sp@m I don't really want to post my mail addresses on public sites.
I sent you a P.M., I'm hugely interested in what you are planning!

InDesign CS4 Help is now live

Even though InDesign CS4 hasn't shipped yet, weve just posted InDesign CS4 Help on the Web:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/6.0/index.html
We still have some work to do and bugs to fix, but we figured that youd get a lot of benefit from taking an early peek. Here's the topic describing the new CS4 features
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/6.0/WSFE4C4DDD-967A-4cf0-845F-AB2B86FCC809a.html
Note that many links to video tutorials, other Help documents, and white papers are still not functional, and the search doesnt really work yet. And commenting isnt turned on yet. This should all be fixed when we ship.
You may also want to take a sneak peak at the new community custom search engine, which is still under construction:
http://community.adobe.com/help/?lbl=indesign_product_adobelr
Feel free to contact me if you have suggestions for improving Help. Also, if you find any sites that should be included in the custom search engine, let me know: [email protected]

That's sweet! It's been frustrating hitting the dead link instead of actual help.
Right off the top of my head, the one thing I immediately notice would be that friendlier URLs would be nice. Any plans for them in the future?
For example, the link to Searching Using GREP Expressions right now is:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/6.0/WS1952D538-1335-4b1d-BA5E-FA5A176FDC9Fa.html
Would be nice if it was more like:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/6.0/search-using-grep-expressions.html
or even the whole path:

I can't sync my new purchases, saying computer not authorized, but when I try to authorize it says incorrect passcode when I know is correct. Already unistalled and reinstalled. help?

I am having trouble syncing my ipod nano with my desktop. I purchased new songs that show up on my desktop but cannot get them to sync to my nano. The computer keeps giving me the message it is not authorized. Then it asks for my passcode which it says is incorrect. Which how can that happen when I can still go into Itunes and purchases songs with the same passcode? The computer just keeps looping to "not authorized" and "incorrect passcode". But I was able to see my computer is 1 of 2 computers authorized but does not seem to be recognizing this. So, I called apple support and they had me unistall and reinstall itunes but I am still having the same problem. Does anyone have any suggestions how to get pass this? Any help would be great thanks!!

Hello lenmin,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To help resolve this issue where you're repeatedly prompted to authorize with your Apple ID in iTunes when syncing, please follow the directions in the article below.

Autocorrect not working in InDesign CS5 - Help? :)

Hi there,
To save time, I've set up autocorrect to insert repetitive phrases that I need in my documents by entering keystokes such as 'zz' and 'pp' etc. etc. Now, these autocorrect features work fine with a new document, however on the templates that I need them for they refuse to work. I've made sure that autocorrect is enabled in the main preferences menu and I've also made sure that these specific documents have the autocorrect function ticked. Can anyone please help me...? I'm stumped! Perhaps it's something to do with the language of the document but I'm not really sure where to look.
Thanks very much.

"Autocorrect" doesn't retroactively correct a document -- quoted from the relevant Help page (
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/6.0/WSa285fff53dea4f8617383751001ea8cb3f-6f52a.html):
By turning on Autocorrect, you can allow capitalization errors and common typing mistakes to be replaced while you type.

Computer reinstalled - itunes ipod reinstall help???

Hi everyone, first post here and I'm after help, not the best of starts eh. Anyway I'm Steven from Manchester in the UK and have got a 5th Gen iPod, which is also my first ever iPod
Anyway, onto my problem. I had a major problem with my PC on Sunday and finally got it sorted on Tuesday. I lost my 1st HDD so lost iTunes and my iPod installation as well as all my files. Luckily for me though I had backed up my music and videos on my 2nd HDD, but sadly I hadnt backed up the library.
Just wondering if there is a way of reinstalling iTunes so that it'll recgonise my songs and videos and not wipe them first, or will I have to just create all playlists etc again?
2nd question is, that I've now misplaced my iPod CD so am unsure of how to install it. Can I download the install software again? If so then where from?
Thanks in advance if anyone can help me out in anyway

I'm not sure what you mean by "Just wondering if there is a way of reinstalling iTunes so that it'll recgonise my songs and videos and not wipe them first, or will I have to just create all playlists etc again?"
I'm assuming you are referring to your iPod being wiped on connection to your new iTunes. Have a look here for preventing your iPod being updated: "How to keep iTunes from automatically updating your iPod" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93779
You don't need to install your iPod but for future use, you'll get the iPod Updater software here: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/ipodupdater20060110.html

IMovie reinstall help please

i'm not sure how, but i seem to have lost imovie from my macbook (about 1 1/2 years old). it's not listed in the applications folder, and the imovie folder in the library is empty. my questions:
1. if i can find my install disks, can I reinstall imovie without reinstalling the entire operating system?
2. If i can't find my install disks, can i buy iLife '08 and install that? Does it matter if part or all of the original (older version) iLife files are present when installing '08?
3. are there any freeware or free-trial alternatives for a quick fix - i need to transfer video from a miniDV camcorder to my macbook this weekend and i'm not sure how else to do it besides using iMovie.
Thank you for any help you can provide.

1. Yes. You may be given the option to perform a custom install of iMovie; if not, use Pacifist to extract it.
2. Yes, you can use the retail package.

InDesign CS6-HELP in Menu

At the top of the InDesign screen there is a HELP drop down menu. When I click on "InDesign Help" or Support Centre I get nothing but a browser screen that says the server cannot be accessed. I called the help desk and they told me to wait as the server was probably overloaded. I have waited for several hours and keep trying, but no success. Whatever is going on here? I've never had such trouble with CS3 or CS5. They at least offered me a local help if I wanted.

It's been reported already. See here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5182071#5182071.

Itunes stopping working even after reinstall - help please

I have not been able to access / watch anything stored on my iTunes on my laptop. every time I click on it I get the following message: ITUNES HAS STOPPED WORKING a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. windows will close the program and notify if a solution is available.
Can anyone help? I've tried the QTMovieWin.dll advice but its still not working?
Cheers

Hi Ellenred,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you have already done some great troubleshooting. Did you remove not only iTunes but all of its components in Windows as well when you reinstalled? When you remove and reinstall iTunes, all components must be removed in order to ensure it works properly when reinstalled. If you have already done this, please let me know. If you need to go through this process please use the information provided in the articles below.
I am not sure what version of Windows you have so I will include articles for all versions starting with XP and up.

CS3 Has Stopped Working and Won't Reinstall - HELP I can't Work!

Hi, I have CS3 running on a Windows Vista 32 bit PC with 4 gig of
RAM, dual core processor. The other day I went to use Photoshop and got the
message that the product had stopped working. This turned out to be the case
with all of the apps. The solution dialog would not run from the
window. So I completely uninstalled, ran CS3 Clean Tool (all with virus
software off) and have attempted three times to reinstall (from desktop), but it
keeps coming back and telling me that Acrobat 8 installed successfully and
Shared Components installed successfully, but for each of the other products it
says "Component install failed". It also says that for Shared Components, even
though it says they installed successfully. It never askes for a product code
or key.
Since CS3 isnt current Adobe wont support. Help, I need it for work and cant
afford to upgrade!

Arrowmaster,
I think I can help you--I got help from Mylenium. I have a Windows Vista 32 bit core duo and I have CS 3 Master Collection and it stopped, too. I think the problem was a Windows Update that put things in the registry. The clean tool and the uninstall from the control panel will not affect the registry. I followed these exact instruction VERY carefully and I got a clean re-install and can work now. Here is the adobe page I used--you need to find a time period of 8 or more hours to get this to work--last step is to update your software which in my case took several hours because it had been over a year since CS3 stopped for me.
Here is the website:

Good Luck - after 13 months of trying everything this solved it.

Downloaded Photoshop 11 on Mac - cannot open it, should I uninstall/reinstall - Help!

I downloaded Adobe Photoshop Elements about 6 months ago. I think I messed up from the beginning - perhaps I saved something in the wrong place. I tried making a shortcut on my desktop, but it didn't work somehow, so I've been going through the Organizer to open the Editer because whenever I click on the shortcut I get this error message: "Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory, Please reinstall the application."
Today I was fiddling around with things on my computer and tried to make a shortcut again by finding the "Adobe" file in Finder and dragging it on the desktop. That didn't work....it disappeared from Finder and I cannot open the Editer from the Organizer anymore - needless to say the shortcut I tried to make didn't work. I keep getting the same error message. So, I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this, but I would really like some opinions. Should I uninstall it completely and reinstall it? Can I since I downloaded it off the site?
Please help!
Thanks!!

Hi cosmicstarfish,
It seems the install was not proper. Please uninstal the existing version, download the software again and reinstall.
You can try downloading it from the direct download links available at : http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-11-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l
But make sure you follow the important steps mentioned on the page before initiating the download.
