Problem with InDesign CS6

I downloaded CS6 InDesign, but when I open it and attempt to use it, the program won't let me choose the Select arrow by clicking. Instead I have to use V or Escape. Also I can't switch beween the Paragraph Formatting Control and the Character Formatting Control. I can't access or change fonts through the Character option. The only way I can see a list of Fonts is by clicking on Type and then Font. I have a Windows 7, 64-bit HPTouchsmart computer. What is wrong with this program? At this point the program is useless to me.

I have a problem with indesign cs6 and my epson 3880 on mac

I have a problem with indesign cs6 and my epson 3880 on mac. I need an older version of indesign but do not have a serial number....any suggestions?

I see then I believe Kglad's advice is on track with starting with updating your printer drivers. I have also moved this discussion over to the InDesign forum as the Users in this forum likely have additional suggestions.

Problem with InDesign CS6 start (without internet)

Hello,
I have a problem with the start of InDesign CS6 linked to the presence or absence of internet.
I need to set an IP without internet on the Mac where I installed InDesign, but when I do it right after the splash screen the program freezes for a few minutes, after which starts.
With internet this problem does not occur.
I have already activated the CS6 both online and offline, but the problem continues.
I need to open something on firewall?
Can you help me?
Thanks in advance

You need to tell us more about what you are doing. Once activated, ID should not require internet access to run unless it needs to verify the subscription status.

Printing problem with InDesign CS6 Trial version

I have the trial CS6 InDesign. Began printing my doc but when I got to page 81 I got an error: "Printing Error: The Adobe Print Engine has failed to output your data due to an unknown problem". Have NO issues in preflight check.It printed fine but suddenly stalled and have tried many things in cluding skipping pg 81 to no avail. Help, please! thanks, Paula

Hello Peter,
Thank you so very much for your help. I have solved the problems. I did discover there were more errors. Using your method, I did find the offending page but then other pages emmerged. After the first fix, the other errors showed up in the lower left of the page so I could open the window for easy access to the pages. All the fault of a rank novice using the program but I have to wonder the following:
If the Pre-Flight check shows no errors, why are there still errors? Shouldn't the Pre-Flight find and report them all?
Well, on to the next waiting project and hopefully now that I know so much more I won't make so many mistakes! You and Bob were GREAT! Without you two and the Forum I would still be mired in my own unknown mistakes. Thank you so very much! If I ever see you at the InDesign User Group in Seattle will be sure to say hello.
Cheers
Paula

Having major issues with InDesign CS6

Having major issues with InDesign CS6. Not only is it crashing, but it is corrupting the existing file. Then when I relaunch, it is not allowing me to open the file again.
In another instance, yesterday I opened an file created 3 months ago and it allowed me to make changes, however I could not save them to the existing file, or not even to a new name.
I had to copy each layer on each page to create a new document. NOT GOOD!!!

Yes, I would certainly get the latest update. That we often solve issues like these, for this is not normal. Some further tips would be quite InDesign, then to trash your InDesign preferences and then re-start InDesign (it will rebuild them again). Some further areas to look into would be:
* Corrupt Font(s) (or corrupt font caches - see below)
* Corrupt Image(s)
* Power Failures (power surges)
* Placing images via drag-and-drop from an Internet page
* Working on an InDesign file over a network or on a remote server
If all else fails, we as Markzware (I work for them) also offer a Service to fix corrupt InDesign documents. See:

Hopefully this helps you.

My Fonts change when opening an InDesign CS4 file with InDesign CS6

I've been experiencing strange behaviour when opening a InDesign CS4 file file with InDesign CS6: the kerning and spacing is all off:
Original file:
opened in InDesign CS6:
Is this a conversion error? Is there a setting/pref I've got wrong?

It's more than a year ago since this issue was reported, but at this time I'd had the same problem when opening a CS4 document in CS6/CC.
I was amazed that a header, placed in capitals, looked different in CS6/CC. But at last, after several tests, i've came to the conclusion that "forced" capitals behaving different than "real" capitals. In others words: when you forcing text to capitals the kerning would be different in CS6/CC. When you place text in real capitals (Shift + text) the kerning is the same as in both InDesign versions.
Text in CS4:
As you can see: in CS4 there's no difference between real capitals en forced capitals.
Below the results when opening the CS4 file in CS6/CC:
I'm not sure if there are still people struggling with this problem, but hopefully was is this helpful.

Help Viewer is an issue with InDesign CS6

Would anyone happen to know if the Help Viewer is an issue with InDesign CS6? Even with a manual install the Help feature launches without issues the first time and won’t launch after the second time. This is the message we are receiving on Windows 7:
“Help viewer is not installed check your internet connection and reinstall InDesign”

Anup R. wrote:
Can you try the option mentioned in 2nd para of the reply, if you are connected to internet?
You can try changing the preference "General Settings" > "Display Local Help content only" to "No" so that application launches the online help content.
-Anup.
YES! It does help.Thank you very much. I changed the setting yesterday but side tracked before I see the online content works. So in general scope, yes it takes me to the online help center, which gives me options for more "community" answers. So yes, thank you for making me look further.
However, I really was a fan of the local help that looked like and felt like the user manuals produced by Adobe, not just blogs, and more message boards. So I am still partially dismayed that I take the time to download and update the local help files, but can't use them. And wish Adobe would just fix the problem, so I can have immediate access to user manuals without having to surf all over for answers. Perhaps this is a novice thought, but I liked reading it in manual formats provided by the amnufacture of the software.
Thanks again though for the help and it will just have to get used to this method. UNLESS you can tell me good news of something else I am missing?

Problem with InDesign CC redrawing the screen too slow while using Zoom tool

Hello. I got a problem with InDesign CC redrawing the screen too slow while using Zoom tool. Sometimes it takes more than a secong to zoom in or out. However InDesign CS6, Photoshop CC, Illustrator CC works just fine. What could be the problem, videocard or something else? Below is my PC configuration: OS Windows 8 Pro (x64); processor Intel Core i7 2600k CPU 3,40GHz; video adapter NVIDIA GeForse GTS 450; monitor NEC PA271W (2560x1440).

Yes it’s a bug. The trick is to select the tool and then left click the photo information strip and hold for a few seconds until you see the windows bar at the top of the screen (not responding)
The lasso tool should then work normally.

'No Media Found' trying to insert images on Mac OS X with InDesign CS6

Hello. I am having a problem with InDesign which has only recently happened and affects only Id. When I insert an image frame(s) and go to insert photos into them the dialogue box opens, I select my photos folder but am met with the message 'no media found'. I've searched for answers and have reset the preferences to no avail. Photoshop, illustrator and everything else works as normal with my photos folder opening to reveal all of my imagery. Does anyone have any idea? It's driving me nuts and I really don't want to have to drag all of my images into a folder that I then link to. That's just messy and duplicating files all over my computer. Any assistance would be appreciated or indeed a link to some other discussion where this has been discussed/ resolved. Apologies if so, I have searched but cannot find anything.

I have the same problem after upgrading to Photos (Yosemite 10.10.3). Indesign (CS6) has 'lost' the link to my photo library. I tried with place (istead of Cmd-D), restarting Indesign, run Photos before running ID, but no avail.
PS en IL do show the link, Id does not..... (see pics attached)

Problem with Photoshop CS6. If I open a file using Camera RAW

I have a new problem with Photoshop CS6. If I open a file using Camera RAW, and process it as usual, CS6 doesn't want to save it the way it used to. I don't know if I changed something by accident or not.
Here's what happens now: After opening from ACR to CS6 and completinhg all of my work, I choose "Save as..." The save as window opens showing the file name and format. The default format seems to be .PSD. I use the drop down to select .jpg. The file saves normally as a .jpg. When I go to close the image from, I get a new prompt asking, "Save changes to Adobe Photoshop document DSC_xxxx.NEF before closing?
I looked up at the file name in the bar above the work space and noticed that it does NOT change from "DSC_xxxx.NEF" to "DSC_xxxx.jpg" after I have saved the file as a .jpg,in my webesite but it always used to do that. This adds a few extra steps when closing a document and it really slows me down.
In fact, I wouldn't swear to this, but I think it used to save to .jpg by default, without me specifying this.
I don't see a setting in the preferences for what to use as the default file format for saving, so I don't know where to change it back.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

wen6275,
It looks like you're actually using a camera or phone to take a photo of your monitor.
That's not what is commonly known as a "screen shot".
It looks like you're on a Mac. Hitting Command+Shift+3 places a capture of the contents of your entire monitor on your Desktop; hitting Command+Shift+4 will give you a cross-hairs cursor for you to select just the portion you want to capture.
I'm mentioning this because I fear I'm not construing your original post correctly when you type "I am working with a large files [sic], currently it has 149 layers, all of which are high resolution photographs", so I'm wondering if there's some similar use of your own idiosyncratic nomenclature in your description of your troublesome file.
Perhaps I'm just having a major senior moment myself, but I'm utterly unable to imagine such a file. Would you mind elaborating?
