Pages Palette snapping closed

I have had this problem previously that has been fixed by deleting my cache and preferences. I tried also saving the file out as an .inx with no luck! Any other suggestions?
Basically this is the problem:
Open a indd CS4 file and the pages palette snapps closed when I try to click on it to do anything - Enlarge the preview, view the page thumnail icons or the master page icons.
All icons at the bottom of the pages palette as well as the scroll bar on the side of the pages palette is also missing.
I'll upload a screen shot as of the pages palette.

That´s correct way... you may have to re-install InDesign... read following artice before that, in case you have problems with user rights...

Why can't i move pages in the pages palette?

what i'm trying to do is move one page below another page on the pages palette. i lined up two pages horozontally, to make sure everything lines up the same. now i want to move one page below the first page, so that i can build in bleeds. the second page keeps snapping back to the first, as if it is a spread. These pages are NOT set up as spreads. I have "allow pages to shuffle" in the options flyout menu. What is going on? thanks for any help about this strange behavior.

Although I prefer not to show my pages palette lined vertically, I cannot reproduce this issue precisely.
When you move pages on the page palette, are you paying attention to or seeing the black bar that appears when you begin to drag pages? This appears in CS and CS2. I don't have CS3 to confirm, but I think it is there, too.
The black bar gives a visual cue as to where the page being moved will snap to. If the bar is adjacent to another page, it will move into a spread with the existing page on the side indicated by the black bar (with allow pages to shuffle turned off). If the bar is between pages (when palette preference is not vertical) or to the right of the page (when vertical), then the moved page will appear in that location in the page order.
So, try this:
Click on your page 2 in the page palette.
Drag slightly to the right until a tall black bar appears next to page 2.
Release the mouse.
This will break page 2 from the spread with page 1 and place it, as a single page spread, between page 1 and 3.

Document page numbers in pages palette?

I just jumped from CS to CS5. I work in magazine spreads most of the time and would like the pages palette to reflect my document page numbering. All I can get it to show is 1, 2, 3, etc. with 1 starting on the LEFT page of the thumbnail spread, whereas the my document spreads always start on EVEN-numbered (left) pages. I have no trouble numbering the document itself any way I want, it's just the palette. Was not a problem in CS, it always showed my document page numbers below the thumbs. Is there a menu setting I am not finding?

Can you post a screen capture of your Pages Panel (they officially became panels instead of palettes in CS4, or maybe CS3)? Use the little camera icon on the web screen to embed it in your post.
The only things that's changed significantly about the Pages Panel/Palette is the addition of page thumbnails, so if you aren't seeing page numbers that match the numbers assigned (if you are viewing section numbering rather than absolute numbering -- a preference choice), then there is something wrong with the program. The first step with oddities like this is to Replace Your Preferences

I have a problem when i close the prgram and i open it agin it open on the page which i closed at it

when i close firefox at any page and also when i close my pc and then i open the program i find it open on last page which i closed at ,, although i made home page for it to open at and it doesn't make the order

Check in preferences > general > Startup: Do you have "Show my windows and tabs from last time" selected? If so change to "Show my home page" (or blank page).
Note: this may happen when quitting Firefox, and you inadvertently click "Save and Quit" and select "Do not ask next time".

Pages palette view is messed up

I lost my floating palettes, so I reverted to default workspace. Now my Pages palette is messed up. The page spread icons bleed off the right side of the palette and the icons at the bottom are missing (trash can, etc.) I tried changing the icon size and have restarted computer. Nothing helped. Ideas? Of course i am on deadline and this is driving me crazy.
I am on Mac CS2, OS 10.4.11.

The best way to delete your preferences is to quit InDesign. Then relaunch and IMMEDIATELY hold down Cmd + Ctrl + Shift + Option. When prompted, select Restore Preferences.

How not to get back on the page i just closed when opening a new session

A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Pages palette problems cs4

The pages palette behaves silly.
On the right, some page icons are not showing up.
E.g. the palette shows pages 1 to 13 but not 14 to 17.
On the left of the palette I can see again pages 18-19, 20-21 etc. (2th row)
Also the icons in the corner right down are gone (to create, delete a page, etc.)
Resizing does not fix this.
When upgrading to 6.0.1, it was fixed for a while, but now the problem is there again.
What can be wrong?

Think I found a solution - or better: a workaround for it.
When I delete the Indesign defaults, the problem stays.
But when I delete the InDesign SavedData file
(it is in C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\Version 6.0\en_GB\Caches)
the problem is gone.
Maybe this can help to find out what really causes this problem - and find a better solution to avoid it?

Pages Palette Problem

Hi all.
I opened InDesign CS2 the other day and encountered this strange look to the pages palette. THough I've reset the workspace to default, changed my screen resolution, played with the Palette options, I can't get the palette to resize so I can see all the pages in the document. I usually have it set vertical. The pages icons are way off to the right at the edge of the box. I usually can't see the 2nd page in the spread.
Anyone have an idea what this is doing and how to fix it?
thanks
∞Jeremy

Try resetting your preferences. Here is a guide on how to reset (trash) your InDesign preferences:

Also, I see this problem occur when I put the pages panel (no longer called palette since CS3 on) on a second monitor. Is that the situation with you?

Weird Links and Pages Palette "Glitch"

I keep my palettes docked, and have noticed a really weird "glitch" with the Links and Pages palettes. I keep them at the top, as often I am re-using a document and updating content to a new date, with new links and new info in the page template. Below them, I have several other palettes docked (Swatches, Character Styles, etc.). Well, when one of my palette panels has Links or Pages active, all the other palette panels creep down incrementally whenever I select something new.
For example, the Character Styles palette was about 2" tall on screen, I selected a different section of text, then it was 1.8" tall. Upon selecting something else, it was 1.6" tall.
This only happens when Links or Pages is open in a palette panel group. Doesn't matter where they are, or which panel group, if either of those is open, the all the other palette panel groups incrementally get smaller.
It's so weird! At first I thought I was going crazy. I would make my Character Styles palette a certain height so I could see several styles, and slowly I would only be able to see one style. Which is a little irritating and disruptive to my work flow.
Sure, it's easy enough to make a different palette active, but during the updating process described above, it is realy helpful to have the Links palette open.
Anybody else have this same problem and/or know how to fix it?
I am running CS5 (ID version 7.0.4) and Mac OSX 10.6.8, 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon processors, with about 8GB of RAM. All patches are up to date.

My palettes are different. Sometimes when I minimimize them to tabs, little by little they try to hide behind one another, until after they are all huddled together at the side with only the bravest ones visible.
I have no fix, except to reset the workspace every few days.

Relocating Pages palette

In Pagemaker the Pages palette went across the bottom of the screen. Is there a way I can do that in InDesign?

Sure, at least in CS4 where I just tried it, you can, more or less.I tore the Pages panel off of its "docked" position, moved it to the bottom of the screen, resized it to my liking, clicked on the options dingus in the upper-right hand corner of the panel, and turned off all of the "display pages vertically" checkboxes. It's been a while since I used PageMaker, but this is vaguely what I recall it looking like.

Pages palette mixup

Hi all.
ID CS4 ME
I have an English document that goes from left to right, in the document itself the pages are good, i.e. page 1 is on the right side and page 2 is on left side and page 3 is on the right side and so on, but in the pages palette they're mixed up as you can see in the image grab, page 2 is on the right side and page 3 is on the left side, what do I do here?
thanx in advance
Mike

Pages Palette constantly redraws.

Using CC 2014 with a photo heavy layout of 56 pages. EVERY TIME I go to a new page the pages palette redraws and hangs ID until it is complete. If I make even a minor move, it redraws and nothing happens until it is complete. I can't even change to another palette. I finally changed the display properties of the graphics to fast in the preferences and that worked but I'm not sure that is a real solution. Suggestions?

Hi grdy83,
What are your cookie settings?
*[[Enable and disable cookies that websites use to track your preferences]]
*[[Permissions Manager - Give certain websites the ability to store passwords, set cookies and more]]
You can delete all history when you exit Firefox, but it seems odd that a secure page that should expire is still accessible. It may be a timed expiration, but check the third party cookie settings to make sure it is not allowed to be saved.
I hope this helps prevent this from happening again.
