Objects have frozen on pages. Help!

Hi there,
I was working on a page I had created in InDesign (CS3) and then I left it for a while. When I returned to InDesign, all the objects were frozen on the page. I can resize them, however I cannot move them. The objects are not locked. All my files are the same - even ones that were created months ago and have always been fine. When I create a new file and even just draw a box, it cannot be moved. My colleague can open my files on InDesign on her computer and move the objects without a problem.
Is there a setting which could have been accidentally changed to cause this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Brooke

Since it's happening to all files, and the same file works on another machine, it sounds more like corrupt preferences that need replacing.

I have opened a page in WORD and cut and tried to paste a photograph to it. The result is that the page is now frozen with the coloured circle{ cursor} spinning around and not letting me do anything with the page. I only wish to close it down. Thank you

Many thanks for your help in this instance. The command-option-shift-esc and force quit solved the problem for me . Now I can get back to using my computer once more

How can I unfreeze my Macbook Air? I have tried restarting but it simply opens on the frozen email page. Any suggestions?

How can I unfreeze my Macbook Air? I have tried restarting but it simply opens on the frozen email page.
I have tried a few multople key combinations. I would be very grateful if someone could post one that might ensure that any applications quit before re-starting.

Try Force Quit.
Press command + option + esc keyboard keys together at the same time.
Wait.
When Force Quit window appears, select Mail if not already.
Press Force Quit button at the bottom of the window.
Wait.
Mail will quit.

The section tabs have disappeared in Pages document - help!

The section tabs have suddenly disappeared in my Pages document. Help!

We were supposed to get that from your first post?
I gather this is also some unnamed Pages template that you have purchased from somewhere else?
It sounds to me like you have opened something else, or you have opened Section/Page internal masters that no longer contain the graphics, or were poorly constructed so that they don't repeat after the first page. In either case you should be talking to whomever you purchased the templates from.

I'm having trouble with downloads of Aps. I have several that have frozen during the download. I can't delete them and resetting my iPad or trying the airplane mode has not helped. Any ideas?

I'm having trouble downloading Aps on my iPad . I have several that have frozen during downloading and I can't delete them. I've tried resetting my iPad, airplane mode and going through iTunes and Aps store, nothing has helped. Any ideas?

I'm having a similar problem, but different circumstances. Someone gave me their iPod nano to load with tunes. I, myself, don't own an iPod, and the flimsy booklet that came with this device is pointless -- no real info. Anyway, once it was charged, I chose tunes from my library to upload to the iPod, but the entire library began to load (not just the checked selections). I made several attempts to resolve this, including an attempt to restore the iPod to its original settings. Unfortunately, now the computer and iTunes will not recognize this iPod (when iTunes is open and iPod is connected, iPod does not appear in source list, and desktop only reads the device as "iPod", as opposed to what it was originally reading it as) and I can't even get back to the part of iTunes that asks me if I want to restore the iPod. Do I have to bring this to an Apple store, or is there anyone out there who can tell me how to resolve this? I tried the "5 R's" recommended by Apple, but they don't seem to work.

The apps on one of my pages have frozen how can I 'unfreeze'them?

The apps on one of my pages have frozen and four of them have moved to the next page and also frozen how do I 'un freeze' them?

I just experienced the same sort of a "frozen page" on my iPad last night. In my case it was the second of five pages of apps, not a full page, containing three folders, and the symptoms were as follows:
Tapping on an icon (any on the the page, including folders .. which would not open .. but not including those in the tray at the bottom of the page, which still did work) resulted in nothing happening at all
Pressing and holding a 'frozen' icon likewise resulted in nothing at all. They could not be moved.
All other icons on all other pages continued to work normally
Pressing and holding icons on other pages would result in the normal "jiggling" display, but this did not affect the frozen ones on Page 2. They did not jiggle, no "X" appeared on them.
I have no idea why this would have happened, but it would appear that somewhere in the way I was doing things with the apps I had open at the time got something latched in some mysterious way. In any case, I fixed this by running a Reset (press & hold both Home and Sleep/Wake until the apple logo appears on the blank screen, etc.) which did return to normal operations. I suspect that a normal shutdown and restart might have fixed the issue also, but it was late and I didn't feel like playing around too much.

Ok, this is a mac question: With the order changed so that the ethernet comes first, why is it still showing my connection to the neighbor's wireless? Am I reading that wrong? OR am I connected to both at the same time? If so, why would it connect twice to the internet?
Probably because you neighbor has no security on his network. Does his network show a lock like
If it does he's got security turned on, if there is no lock showing he hasn't turned it on.

My iPhoto seems to have frozen. Was importing photos went to the import selected, it tells me it's importing them but nothing is happening and I can't click on any buttons to stop the import. Any help would be great. Thanks

My iPhoto seems to have frozen, hooked my camera up to my MacBook selected the images I wanted imported and left the room for five minutes. When I came back it said it was still importing which I thought was funny as I was only importing 6 images. I tried to stop the import but the buttons are no longer highlighted and I can not shut down iphoto as it tells me it is still importing photos. Any help with this would be great as I have to get these photos uploaded for my assignment for school.
Thanks

Did you OK the option to have the application delete the photos off the memory card? If not then just force quit iPhoto by typing Command+Option+Esc. Then select iPhoto to force quit.
If you did OK the option to delete the memory card I'm not sure if force quitting iPhoto will abort that function. You might try disconnecting the camera and then force quit iPhoto.
If you do find that the photos were deleted and are not in the library you can recover them from the memory stick with an application like MediaRECOVER. You can run it in demo mode to verify it can see and recover the photos on your card before you have to purchase it.

HT1296 I can't sync the songs from my computer to my ipod touch. I have gone through the iPod directions on this page and have not found them helpful. For example, I can't find the Autofill button. Can you help?

I can't sync the songs from my computer to my ipod touch. I have gone through the directions on the iPond help page and have not found them helpful. For example, I can't find the autofill button. Can you help?

I have already tried following those steps. I went back and tried to follow them again but they did not work. Some of my songs have synced, some have not. And I am still not seeing the Autofill icon on the bottom of the menu or anywhere else. I fear something has been corrupted here and I need to start afresh.

Can't post iWeb to Mac, have 58 welcome pages... Help?

I've had no problems with iWeb and i tried updating my site today. No errors came up during publishing but the site refuses to load. I've also noticed that I have multiple welcome pages (58 at the moment) which I'd like to delete as well.
Are these problems related and how do I delete the excess pages?

It looks as if the .Mac servers are having lots of trouble as of now (they may have crashed) so you may want to put off uploading until the servers have been restored, as this is most likely why your site is not loading.

I have just opened pages vers 09 4.3,all documents I had saved to the cloud have disapeared, help

I have just opened pages version 09 4.3, all the documents I had saved to the cloud seem to have disapeared, how is this possible? help

Thanks so much, but when I try and run the update installer I get the message
'An eligible Pages application was not found in the location /Applications'
That's a sign that the iWork applications are no longer in the iWork '08 folder in the Applications folder. The same applies to iWork '06 & iWork '09 installed from the retail DVD or downloaded trial. Iif you're not running the latest versions of the iWork apps installed from a retail box or the downloaded trial & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. If you installed from the downloaded trial or the retail box, they must be in the iWork ''08 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '08. If it doesn't have the '08 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

How do I 'assign a higher layer to the object on the master' (page numbers on master) I understand the layer needs to be at the top to show above placed images on pages but how do I do this?

I've added the page numbers to my master pages. They are displaying on the pages but I have images on the individual pages that are covering the numbers. I understand I need to assign a higher layer to the object but I don't understand how to do that. Please help me? Please explain a simply clearly as possible, I've read other answers but still don't understand. Wish it was as simple as select object, right click, edit layer!
Many thanks!

Layers panel;
Create new layer
Switch to Master page
Make sure new layer is on top in the Layers panel, if not drag the layer on top in the Layers panel.
Select (click once on) that top layer (pen symbol appears behind that layer in the Layer panel)
Now draw your page numbers etc on the Mastet page
From now on, select (click once on) any Layer in the Layers panel that is below the layer you used on your Master page items and create new objects in your document pages.
If you accidently created objects on a 'wrong' layer:
Select those objects
You will see a square behind the layers name in the Layers panel
Click and hold the mouse on that square and drag it behind the name of the layer you want to move the objects to.
