InDi CS6 not saving prefs

Hi
All of a sudden my InDesign is not saving my prefs
I set/change prefs with all documents closed but still when reopen Indesign, all prefs are reset.
I did have to reset my prefs about a week ago, but I am not sure if thats when it started...
I use in-tools preference manager script to restore my prefs... but its driving me crazy to have to do it each time InDi opens!!
If anyone can help me with this I would really appreciate it
Thanks
Davey

hi Davey,
Have you run Utilities > Disk Utility and tried 'Verifying Permissions' ... what comes up? If there are errors, click 'Repare Permissions'.
If that doesn't work try the following...
Create a new user account on your computer:
Open System Preferences and Click Users & Groups.
Click the lock to make changes (you'll be prompted for your password)
Under Login Options, click the +
and Create a New User Account.
Set New Account to: 'Administrator', and fillin the rest of the fields, click Create User.
Now please Log-out of your current user account and log-in with the new account:
Apple menu > Log Out [username]
Launch InDesign and try to change some preferences, then close InDesign.
Relaunch InDesign and see if the preferences are retained.
Now try and create a new document, and change some document specific preferences, and save document, and close InDesign.
Relaunch InDesign.
Are the preferences retained?
IF they are, then there is something not quite right on your present user-account.
If you are 'daring' enough on your current log-in -- and this is a 'at your own risk comment ;-) :
/Users/[username]/Library/Preferences Rename the 'Adobe' folder in her 'Adobe.old' and rename the 'Adobe InDesign' folder 'Adobe InDesign.old'.
Still in preferences... scroll down to com.adobe.InDesign.plist and rename 'old.com.adobe.InDesign.plist'.
If this still doesn't fix things... and this is also an 'at your own risk' thing to do - I'd suggest you do this with the help of a Mac expert.
Rename the entire Preferences folder Preferences.old
To learn about which preferences are document vs applicaiton based - Mike Rankin wrote a visual guide for InDesign prferences, that outlines which are application and document preferences (it's for CS5.5, but should be ok to work from as well) - see http://indesignsecrets.com/a-visual-guide-to-indesign-preferences.php

Photoshop CS6 not saving

I am using Windows 7 with an i7 core and 18gb of RAM. I recently purchased a CC subscription.
In Photoshop CS6 I have noticed that at times after having saved a .psd file, after I come back to it later the changes are gone. At first I thought perhaps I fogot to save, but last night I saved several photos I had been restoring and was careful I did save them. This morning once again the changes on one of the photos were not saved, they had reverted to the original file before the restoration was done.
Has anyone else noticed this problem? What could be causing it?

Well, they never save properly on the operating system level or something on your system is restoring older versions of files. There's literally a gigazillion potential causes like PS's own recovery mode restoring files, because the app crashes on exit, Windows' system restore, backup tools, virus scanners interferring in the safe process, permissions issues preventing file writes or even genuine hardware issues with your harddrive and its controller. Impossible to know. Definitely not a general PS fault. If at all, I might imagine something being awry with history states, but that would still be fixable by simply picking the correct state on the saved file...

CS6 not saving icons or thumbnails

My Photoshop CS6 has suddenly stopped saving icons. I've re-checked preferences/file handling, restarted, etc Nothing. Any advice greatly appreciated.

When Photoshop starts acting odd and you have not upgraded your OS, try a Preferences reset.
Hold down Ctrl-alt-shift/cmd-opt-shift and start Photoshop. Delete the settings file when asked.
See if that fixes it.

Flash CS6 not saving.

Failed to open document message when I save the file. We need to be able to save to our server. I work on a Mac Pro and recently upgraded to Mavericks: should I downgrade?

ASk in the Flash forum and be much more precise. The info you have provided is mostly useless since you haven't said anything about your server, your network config, naming conventions etc..

Non admin user - changes not saved (Safari settings, system prefs, etc.)

iMac, 2 users, one is administrator and other is standard user. Recently, in the non-admin user account, it has become impossible to make any changes. For example, adding an application to the the Dock, after logging out and back in next time, the application is not in the Dock any more. Also, making changes to the prefs in Safari, changes are not saved.
I noticed this after installing FireFox v4. I installed it as admin whilst in the non-admin users account. However, I don't believe that the installation of FF has anything to do with the problem, it just highlighted it. I've checked the permissions for the various directories that hold prefs info such as user/libraries/application prefs/etc. etc. and also Safari prefs. Nothing I can see that has changed in system prefs.
Any ideas on what has caused the problem (kids are known to fiddle from within the non-admin account) and any ideas on how to fix it?
Thanks

Hi PPRuNe,
You could try making the standard user an Admin too. To do this, make sure you are logged in to the standard user, go to System Preferences > Accounts > Standard user (you may have to unlock the padlock) > Allow user to administer this computer
This will allow changes to be made without being prompted for a password all the time.
However, if you had Parental Controls on, they probably won't work on an admin account because as an admin you have complete control over a computer, so the computer thinks there is no point in having the controls turned on. And if the kids are known to "fiddle," just think carefully!
Hope this helps you.
Chris.

When I close CS6 changes in settings are not saved. Reverts to default settings on reopen. Why?

Sorry Photoshop -- Problems solved -- I read the details -- turns out you need to make changes with no files open for the preferences to apply to all files.
Thanks, Al

User prefs not saving

Recently, preferences set by my users are not saving. Even if you set your prefs, shut the program down and re-start it, nothing is saved. Of course, if they log out and in again, its the same thing.
All users are using LDAP to the server to login, and all user folder are mounted over the network. The only recent change was a system update yesterday, but I did this in hopes of solving the problem (It did not).
Any ideas on what I can look at to try and resolve this issue?
Thanks!

Just updated - Prefs not saved - None of the posted solutions work

I just updated to 3.6.8 and found that the prefs are not saved. I cannot apply any themes and the "Firefox Updated" tab won't go away, I tried all the solutions presented here http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Preferences+are+not+saved and none worked.
- I have Macaffe and it was set properly
-The user.js file is completely empty
- prefs.js and prefs-n.js do not exit in the directory
Unfortunately, nothing worked. Any thoughts short of doing a complete uninstall?
Thanks!

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems
See [[Basic Troubleshooting|#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

Illustrator CS6 is not saving user-created workspaces

I have created a workspace to save for all of our users to utilize, but it is not saving. When I re-start Illustrator the created workspace is selected but is not coming up as it was saved. Is this a glitch, or am I missing something?

Wayne,
You have used Type>Create Outlines, with no live Type left behind (after saving the original artwork, of course), no?
What if you Save As PDF, thus embedding the font(s), and they take it from there?

Excise invoice is not saving and not showing datas

in erxcise invoice i ve made settings as per the sap best practices then also the excise invoice is not saved and not generated also
please help me to solve the problem
the error is coming like this
Error in allocating Excise invoice number Interval not found Number object J_1IEXCLOC
Message no. 8I336
i ve already maintainthe number range for this object in tool in tax in goods moment
please give some better advice for the excise invoice setting.

Sub Transaction type determines the subcontracting attributes and determines the accounts for the posting while doing a sub contracting transaction.
Sub transaction type is also used for determining the accounts while
doing excise removals.
Within CIN the account determination is based on the transaction type.
So normally you can have a single set of accounts for Excise
utilization. In case you need alternate account determination for
handling various scenarios you can define sub transaction types. The
sub transaction types and corresponding account assignments needs to be
maintained in CIN customization
To make customization of Sub Transaction type, goto
<b>SPRO --> Logistics General --> Tax on Goods Movements --> India --> Account Determination and check whether you have assigned second and third one, viz. "Specify Excise Accounts per Excise Transaction and Specify GL Accounts per Excise Transaction".</b>
Check
<b>Taxes on goods mvnt--indiaaccnt determination---specify excise accnts for excise transaction...maintain the sub transction type , ip or 01,
against the appropriate ETT</b>

Selectable map not saved in fillable PDF form file

Hi all, I have a problem with a document (it's a book for children) which has been created using InDesign CS6 on Macintosh. I need to make a fillable form (which is not a problem) and I have applied the "Extended Features for Acrobat Reader". I guess the client uses Acrobat Reader for Windows.
The problem comes when the client asks me to include a map where the pupils can select the countries, and that I have solved using buttons that show/hide these countries. It works fine, but when the client fills the form and saves the document, the map doesn't save the selected fields.
How can I make it work properly? I also tried creating a "SAVE MAP" button, but unfortunately, Acrobat only applies this feature to the current state when I create the document, NOT when the client clicks on this "SAVE MAP" button. Is there another solution, please?
And there's still more... In another page, the pupils must select 5 words, and the problem remains the same... the selected fields are not saved.
I hope I've explained myself correctly, I know it's a bit confusing.
Thanks in advance!!

If you will be adding up the mileage reimbursement amounts you might need to round the result of the calculation to 2 decimal places and that will require a custom JavaScript calculation. Using unrounded values can result with an answer that does not add up to the displayed value.
Using the simplified field notation also requires that field names meet a very specific format. The field names need to start with an alphabetic character and it cannot have any white space character in the name unless some additional coding is done. These restrictions are a result of processing the formula string with JavaScript and how the data string is parsed for processing.

Preferences Not Saved...

When I create new playlists and try to enable them to be sent to my iPod under iPod Preferences, I get a message "Preferences were not saved for the iPod because they could not be found." Then when I Eject the iPod in iTunes, my iPod stays in "Updating" condition, even though it's icon is no longer on my desktop. I have to manually reboot the iPod!
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
BJ Leiderman

BJ:
It sounds like your iTunes preferences file is corrupted. Try closing down iTunes, disconnecting your iPod, and removing all of the itunes plist files (look in ~/Library/Preferences) and put them on the desktop. Relaunch iTunes and reconnect your iPod.
You'll probably need to reset all of your preferences, since they will go back to the default settings on relaunch, but the prefs should now "stick."
Let us know how this works out for you.

Camera Raw changes not saving

Changes done in Camera Raw are not saving to be usable in PS or other programs.
I am using CS6 with windows 7.
I accidentally took a heap of photos in jpeg. I edited them in Camera Raw - then save the changes in jpeg format but still no changes showing in PS. I have tried Save As, Done, Open image but the changes are not appearing in my PS

Penny,
The button at bottom, "Open Image", doesn't mean "open an image in Camera Raw". It means "open the currently displayed image in a new document in Photoshop".
"Open Image" will pass the adjusted image that you are viewing, not the file itself, to Photoshop where a new document will open and contain the image. The current Camera Raw adjustments for the file it has open will simultaneously be saved and Camera Raw will close.
Hold down Shift key to see the button change to "Open Object" which will result in a new Photoshop document being opened containing a Smart Object which encloses an independant duplicate of the file and adjustments which you are currently viewing in Camera Raw. The current Camera Raw adjustments for the file it has open will simultaneously be saved and Camera Raw will close.
Hold down Option/Alt key to see the button change to "Open Copy" which is like "Open Image" except the adjustments which you are currently making in Camera Raw will only affect the image that is sent to Photoshop and adjustments will not be saved.
