Mac InDesign cs6 to PC InDesign CC
Hello everyone,
I am having issues going from a Mac using cs6 to a PC using CC.
I have templates for store signage, ads for all different media outlets that all have different sizes, etc. and my problem is with the logos and pictures not being recognized.
I knew going into this that this would not be a completely smooth transition, but I did not anticipate that every time I open one of these files for the first time that I would have to relink all the different elements of the file. All the files I access come from the Marketing folder.
The path on my old mac in which I created the files: Macintosh HD > Documents > Marketing
The path on my PC in which I tried to best duplicate the path: OS (C:) > Documents > Marketing
Is there a way to communicate to InDesign to replace Macintosh HD iwith OS (C:)?
Any help is much appreciated!
Ryan

RyanI tried this and I get an error: "Failed to find 8 links in new folder. These links have not been relinked, and will remain selected in the Links panel."
The other thing is that even if this was to work, I don't have every missing link in the same folder. If I have logos in one folder, I have outdoor images from our vendors in a different folder, I would still need to relink every single item essentially since they are all in a different folder. -
How do you install OpenRIP NT so the postcript driver displays in the mac InDesign CS6 printer list?
Moving this discussion to the InDesign forum. Reneeatwork I would strongly recommend that you also inquire with whatever support is available for OpenRIP as well.

Hello
There is a bug in Mac InDesign CS4 and CS5 which causes InDesign to crash if text containing a variable is copied. I am hoping this bug is fixed in CS5.5.
So can someone with Mac CS5.5 try this for me and report back:
1. create a variable, or use one already created by Adobe
2. insert it into some text
3. copy the text
4a. try pasting it into another part of the same document
4b. try pasting it into an external document, for example an Excel file.
Hopefully it won't crash and you will be able to tell me whether it is fixed or not! If variables do not cause InDesign to crash when copied then it might be worthwhile for me to upgrade to CS5.5.These problems are rarely easy to debug.
It appears from your crash report:
5 com.adobe.PDFL 0x216ef8e3 PDDocGetMergedXAPKeywords + 86221
That the problem is in the Adobe PDF Library (not surprising, this is what reads PDF files) when getting "merged XAP keywords," whatever those are.
I believe the XAP: metadata has been superceded by XMP metadata, so this suggests your PDF files have corrupt XMP metadata, or XMP metadata that InDesign cannot deal with.
You might try running some of the preflights and fixups in Acrobat that relate to analysis of XMP metadata,
or simply removing XMP Metadata from the PDF entirely, again in Acrobat.
It sounds like this is a genuine InDesign bug (even if your PDF file was damaged, it should not crash ID!), so you should open a case with Adobe Support and get them to file a bug (http://adobe.com/go/supportportal). Optimistically, such a bug is unlikely to be fixed in time for CS6, so don't expect miracles. Think of it as making sure your bug doesn't hurt other people two years from now. -
Thumbnail Previews in Mac InDesign CS5
In Mac InDesign CS5, the thumbnail previews are no longer saved as a PICT resource. The previews seem to be embedded within the InDesign document.
I have an XCode Cocoa application that can preview CS2 - CS4 documents by importing the PICT resource as an NSPICTImageRep. Is there any way to extract the preview from a CS5 document programatically?
Thank you!.. no longer saved as a PICT resource ..
Were they ever? InDesign documents are platform-independent, and Windows wouldn't want to use PICT resources. I don't think ID documents have ever had native thumbnails -- perhaps you had a Finder utility that did it for you.
In any case: in CS5, and, to a lesser extent, also in previous versions, JPEG previews are saved at the end of each document in an XML format. If you search the Scripting forum for "XML preview" (or something similar), you might find scripts that can extract them for you. -
Opening Mac ID CS6 IDML-document on Windows ID CS4
If I create an IDML-document with my Mac InDesign CS6, can I (or my clients) open it on Windows InDesign CS4? Are there any problems, that may occur?
Yes, there are a lot.
Even if they will be able to open it, the document will change:
New versions have new functions wich will be lost or converted in a very different and unexpected way.
Even if the function exists, the realisation between versions might be different and cause changes.
Improved old functions may cause a change.
Bugs in the IDML process will cause changes.
Another problems are the fonts. The Mac can read Windows fonts, Windows can't read mac-only fonts. Use OTF at the best. -
I dont recall when I have been more frustrated.... the "loops" I am in on the web for support are endless. After downloading Yosemite on my Mac my CS6 no longer works. On your support web site you state the following for downloading and installing previous versions of apps, such as CS6 " 1. open CC for desktop and go to the apps panel (no link is provided so I explored until I could download a trial version of "application manager" as that was required. When I attempted to open it to download "Previous Versions" I could not. I have my license number, my CS6 will not open in Yosemite and after over 2 hours I am really frustrated.... Rich@
When I go to that link, download and then attempt to install I get the message "Webe encountered the following issues, Installer failed to initialize. Please down load Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem" I then select the link "get adobe support advisor" that takes me to a site that describes a better support link since the one I have been sent to is no longer available. I then go to that site and am told to go to CC for desktop apps, that requires me to download CC... I don't want CC.. just want to have my CS6 PS work again.... so frustrating...

Help opening RAW on MAC with CS6
I can not open RAW files from my D90 in CS6 on my MAC. I keep getting the message "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file." I downloaded the 7.3 Raw update and still get it and am getting when I try to open any type of photo. I am new to MAC and CS6 so it could just be me. I used CS5 on a Windows PC for 3 years and never had trouble. Thank you!!
The D90 is supported by all versions of ACR that run with CS6.
Your image files could be damaged. This can be the case if you used the Nikon Transfer to copy the files from the card to your computer, as the Nikon utility is known for corrupting the image files on the Mac.
Use either the Finder or the Bridge Photo Download to copy the image files from the card to your computer—I hope you still have the originals on the card.
BTW, it's Mac for Macintosh, not "MAC". -
Mac Dreamweaver CS6 very slow to open files
Hi
My Mac Dreamweaver CS6 opens html files in about 1-2 minutes! It is very very slow. It all works when the file is open but it is the actual opening that is slow.
I have turned off external files but no change.
Any ideas??
Thanks
Mac Pro
Processor 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory 4 GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)I've been strugling with this issue for a long time.
I've found that Dreamweaver takes about 2 minutes to open CSS files with @import url for font face.
for example:
@import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Oswald:400,300);
i've never had problem with big files but if i place this line into my 20k css file, it takes for ever to load.
if i remove it, it opens fast as usual.
Please don't tell me that it could be a Google problem thatis loading slow because it's not.
the font file isnt big enough either.
Of course i have deativated the "load things from external urls" setting.
any ideas on how could this be fixed withoput changing my work style ? -
Upgrading from CS5 mac to CS6 pc
Hi
I will upgrade from CS5 for mac to CS6 for PC. Will i be able to open the old project files on the PCwith CS6?When you open a project made on one computer on a different computer it may report that the media is off-line. You then need to find the media in the dialogue box(es) which appear to re-link the files. Premiere will probably have to spend some time re-conforming the audio first. The only time this does not occur is when Premiere's preferences are identical on each computer and the media is located on the same drive path, E.G. E:\Projects\project1
If any media files use Mac specific codecs then you may have issues IE Pro-Res files.
This will not be the case as you are changing between Mac and windows and paths to folders etc cant be the same. But it will work. -
Hey guys,
I have created a nightmare of files while trying to understand jquery and starter pages. I deleted all the original files. the following are the original paths that should be on your mac with cs6. These files are outdated I know current stable versions are 1.7.1 and 1.0.1. but I need to study the original files when cs6 was released so that I can grasp the entire concept. I installed all new files with current versions but I am having difficulty. I need to study the original files and paths to understand what my screw ups are.
My brain has to see what was happening before I went down this road of pain. The below code is the absolute path to the folder of files I need. Please help me and duplicate the folder of files {jquery-mobile} and zip it and send it to me so I can start over. I want to edit my own files and cdn does not work for me. I am trying to grasp all of this from the beginning. I moved to quickly and stupidly deleting my original files. Please send me the original so I do not have to reinstall.
I need these: I can not find these on the jquery site
jquery.mobile.theme-1.0.min.css
jquery.mobile.structure-1.0.min.css
jquery.mobile-1.0.min.js
<link href="file:///Macintosh/Applications/AdobeDreamweaver/Configuration/ThirdPartySourceCode/ jquery-mobile/jquery.mobile.theme-1.0.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>

Please someone send me these files
Thank you

MMXCore.Plugin for Mac Photoshop CS6
Would like to know where and how to download and install this plugin for Photoshop CS6. Thanks.
You can't...it won't work in CS6 and was only for previous versions running on a PPC Mac (which CS6 won't run on) So...the odds are you have made the mistake of loading older versions of Photoshop plug-ins in CS6, right? You need to remove ALL old Photoshop plug-ins from ANY previous version of Photoshop. It will cause you lots of problems...the ONLY plug-ins you should load in CS6 are those updated for CS6 and installed with the developer's installers.

Mac InDesign CS6 crashes when adding files with links to Windows network into book
Our Mac network is unstable, so I tested linking InDesign CS6 files (on my Mac's hard drive) to .jpg files on our company's very stable Windows network rather to the same .jpg files on our Mac network. I tested with 4 simple, small InDesign files. When these 4 files were linked to images on a storage drive on our Mac network, I could drag all 4 files into a book and export the book to PDF. But when linked to the same images on the Windows network, while each file would open fine with no errors, and while I could generate a PDF from each individual file, the moment I dragged the 4 files into a book, InDesign crashed, generating pages of information in the crash report form.
I have no problem making 500 page manuals on my hard drive, comprised of about 50 InDesign files, with links to THOUSANDS of image files on a storage drive on our Mac network. Is there some trick to making a book with files linked to images on a Windows network? If there is no simple answer, who could I call to set us up so this will work?
I'm using InDesign CS6 for Mac, totally updated, version 8.0.1.
Thank you so much!!!It seems, this is all you need to do... your message isn't clear as to whether you've fixed your issue or not.
[Extract from link above]...
"Add the network share(s) to your Favorites in Bridge and drag assets into your layouts from Bridge or Mini-Bridge. The paths stored in the InDesign links will be full network paths, and both sets of machines should have no problem finding them. This is the more usual InDesign workflow."
