Problems importing from inDesign 5.5

I had a book document started in inDesign 5.5 and have imported it to inDesign 6. When I choose one of the font styles I had set up before it comes into the document with Bold text when the sytle definition called for italic. I check the style definition and it still says "italic" but the text in the document is Bold. I've tried defining a new style with the same characteristics and the same problem occurs. I've tried changing the basic font for the publication and this doesn't solve the problem.

Never mind! I somehow had the Character Style set to Bold!

Problems importing from camera - hardware related?

I am having problems importing from my new Olympus EP-1 through USB. Aperture hangs, iPhoto does not recognize the camera and Image Capture does not complete the task. The only way of retrieving the photos is through Finder.
I have tried importing the same photos to my wife's MacBook using iPhoto, and that went smoothly.
How likely is it that this is a hardware issue? And how can I find out? I haven't had any problems with my USB ports.

Try using image capture in your applications folder
Also if the camera mounts to the desktop try getting the photos that way
once you have them off use the camera to format the memory card (it is recommended that you use a USB card reader and do not use iPhoto to delete photos but format the card each time after the download is complete)

New problem printing from InDesign CS4 in Lion

After having great success with Aisolve's earlier fix on printing from InDesign CS4 after upgrading to Lion, I'm having a new problems after installing the OS X 10.7.2 upgrade last week. When I try to print from InDesign CS4 and Illustrator CS4 to my Lanier 445c/Ricoh C4500 at my workplace I get the following error message:
"Printing Error: The Adobe Print Engine has failed to output your data due to an unknown problem."
This seems like a different issue this time, as I'm able to print to my home printers, an HP LasertJet 2600n and an HP Photosmart C4270. I thought it might be a printer driver problems, but I've gone to Lanier's site and they don't have any new printer drivers for Mac OS X 10.7.
I also some research on Adobe's site, and found this message affecting CS1, 2 & 3. I tried the only fix that seemed to apply to me, which was re-naming/deleting the InDesign Deafults and InDesign SavedData files. (I have this problems even when I'm printing a text-only file without any graphics.) This fix didn't work.
I can print to the Lanier/Ricoh from Acrobat 9, and all my non-Adobe software just fine, so my work-around to date has been exporting to PDF and printing from there. My big problem is that I need the "Print Booklet" feature in InDesign for a big job I've got coming up this week. Can't do that from Acrobat. :-(
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

mmsteer,
I think I may be able to help you with this problem, which I was having with CS4 when I first upgraded to Lion, and others were having with CS3. This fix is courtesy of Aisolve on these discussion boards:
Remove the Adobe PDF PPDs from the following folders:
OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/en.lproj,
OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Zh_CN.lproj,
OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Ja.lproj,
OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/ko.lproj,
OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Zh_TW.lproj,
Be sure to go to your system Library, not your user Library.
Also, regarding my current problem, I spoke with an Apple tech person and found that the 10.7.2 upgrade apparently is the culprit, and is incompatible with wireless printing to my Lanier printer. I CAN print connected through USB. That's a work-around for now, but I'll need to contact Lanier about upgrading their driver for OS X 10.7.2.
Aisolve was helping me with this issue, too, and assures me that if I'm able to generate a postscript file (which I was), and able to generate a PDF by distlling it through Adobe Distiller (which I am), then I can safely assume that the problem lies with the hardware, in this case the printer driver. This lines up with what Apple told me.

I am having problems importing from a DVD or a CD to my Ipod nano via windows 8. I initially set everything up on a computer with windows 7, and authorized the windows 8 computer as well. Howevre, the oly thing that comes up on windows 8 is my purchases

I am having problems importing to my Ipod nano via windows 8. I usually do this from a windows 7 computer and have had no problems; hoever in windows 8 I can only see items purchased in the Itunes store. I do not have access to my entire library, which includes song uploaded from CDs and some videos. As a result, I'm having problems uploading any new items from CDs or DVDs. The computer with windows 8 is an authorized computer, so I don't understand why I'm having the problem.

Problem importing from JVC MG 155 (videcam with hard disk drive)

I had a problem importing video from my videocam Jvc MG 155.
I tried when there was only few record in the videocam and everything gone right.
Otried when there were 520 movies and over 4 hour of video (I went to holiday and made also underwater movies) and the program crach before importing the movies.
I can import the moviesw only via firewire but in this way i import in DV mode (so I have near 60 gigabytes occupied by that movies insted of the original size in the hdd of the camera of 18 giga).
Someone have a solution?
If I import by firewire I reach the same quality (the camera record directly in mpeg 2 and via firewire I import in dv way)?
Any idea?
Jvc don't support mac because they don't give you software compatible (the cd inside is win only).

You are right.
But the first time I imported with imovie 08 (the time when there was only few movies on the camera and everything gone right and the program don't crash) i notice that the program imported the movies in compress format (mpeg2) and the size was the same of the videocamera (more or less ..but I'm sure it's not in DV format).
Maybe the prgram crash because of the hight number of the miniature it must generate to let me choose witch I want import.
Certantly Apple mus resolve this bug because the model of this videocamera is one of the fews they assure like compatible directly with imovie 08.

PDF quality problems exporting from InDesign and Photoshop

Hi There.
I'm having big problems exporting my InDesign files to PDFs and retaining the res. And it's not just the images (I understand about the dpi) it's the type on there too.
I have been exporting as the preset High Quality Print - is this wrong. Are there other settings to ensure the PDF I export retains the high-res quality and clarity?
At the moment it comes out high-res when I export it as a jpeg or eps but not PDF.
I have also noticed the same problem when I export to a PDF from Photoshop.
I really need to create interactive and high quality print PDFs from my InDesign files.
Please can you advise.
Thanks
Karen

I am also having problems with pdfs exported from Illustrator and Indesign recently. I didn't have these problems before, so I don't kno if something has changed in my settings that I am unaware of.
When I use the 'japanese dots' border in Indesign, it shows on the pdf as a kind of dotted line. I'm exporting as 'High Quality Print'. I switched to Illustrator and drew a line with the pen tool, and converted it to a dotted line; it looked just how I wanted in in Illustrator, but as soon as I exported it, the same thing happened.
I have used the 'japanese dots' border in the past, exporting as 'High Quality Print', and not had this problem.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Problems importing from sony HDR FX7

hi forum.
i'm having problems importing audio from my camera into i-movie.
during import there is no sound coming from my computer, but there is sound coming from my camera. after import when i play back the clip i just imported, the sound is morphed. its like the pitch has been turned down in the audio file, except no effect has been done on it.
if anyone out there has a similar problem, or a soulution please let me know as i am ready to throw my mac out the window!
john lawlor

OK i think i get what you are saying but....
will the cound correct itself while it in in imovie. in other words will i be able to edit and listen to the audio as it is supposed to be?
what concerns me it that after i noticed this probem, i tried exporting it as a quicktime file, thinking that the wound would be OK, but after it finished exporting, the quicktime file was exactly the same. the sound was morpehd on it also.
could it be the settings on my camera?

Problems importing from canon mvx460

I'm having problems importing movies in iMovie 9.0.2 from my Canon mvx460 camera.
It seems that my iMac (Mac OS 10.6.7, 2.66 GHZ INtel Core Duo, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3) doesn't recognize the camera (through firewire 800).
Is this a known issue for this camera with iMovie? Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Many thanks!

I don't have this camera, but in general for miniDV camera, the camera must be plugged in to wall power, not batteries.
Also, if you are using a firewire 400 to 800 converter, that has been known to cause problems. It is best to use a 9 pin to 4 pin firewire cable.

IPhoto 6 problem importing from camera

For some reason recently I have had problems importing photos from my camera.
I am using IPhoto version 6:06 and when attempting to load the photos directly from the SD card reader and the camera I get the continuous circle and nothing is loaded.
I cannot remember when I last upgraded the software but it was recent and i would like to be able to drop back to previous version if the current one is causing the problems.
Has anyone had this problem and how can I fix it.
Thanks
Norman

I recently upgraded from OSX 10.3 to 10.5. I don't know for sure if it's related, of course, but now nothing happens when I connect my camera to the computer; it used to automatically open iPhoto and go to the import window. Now I do not even here the clicking in the hard drive when I make the connection. I've tried checking the USB cable to make sure it's securely in place at both the computer and the camera, and making sure the camera is in the correct mode. I've also tried your troubleshooting basics (Repair Permissions, deleting the plist file, and creating a new system account, none of which worked. I'm ready to try a reinstallation, since that's what you suggested may be indicated in your Jan 5 letter to Jarmel. Is that what you suggest? If so, do I need to uninstall anything before running another installation? And do I run it from the iLife disk? Do I do a custom install of iPhoto only? Or do I run it from either my original system disks that came with the computer or from my new Leopard disk?
Also--I know this is perhaps off topic, but I mention it in case it might be a related problem. Since installing Leopard, my keyboard button that normally opens and closes the disk drawer does not work at all. I'm having to open it by restarting and holding down the mouse button.
Thanks for your time. Sorry if too many questions.

Problem importing from scanner into Photoshop Elements

I use Photoshop Elements 5 on a PC & am suddenly no loger able to import from my scanner (Canon MP990) & get the message: 'Could not complete the import because of a problem with the acquisition interface'.
If I try scanning directly from the scanner, I get the message: 'Scanner is not available while in use by another application or user' . I may have abandoned a previous scan at preview stage without cancelling, but it doesn't show up anywhere. I don't know whether this is a Photoshop problem or a scanner problem. My troubleshooting skills are rudimentary at best - I have tried disconnecting/connecting the scanner & shutting down the PC - any ideas ?
artistdts

First of all, are you sure that you want to abandon iphoto for the organizer? You don't want to use both--you will have to choose eventually. If you don't have experience with Organizer on a mac, I would strongly suggest exporting a few photos from iphoto, putting them where you want to keep them and using File>Get Photos>From Files and Folders to create a test catalog to use for evaluation while you make up your mind.

PROBLEMS IMPORTING FROM VCR!

ALSO: when I wrote: 2-Still importing, the left arrow often switch the import unit from the vdr to an external drive instead of playing the vcr backward!!! ANY CLUE?
I MEANT THE JKL keys, not arrows, sorry!!!
JP
Clue: when you press a key and the focus is on a list of names, like it happens in a Finder window, the selection will follow your keys - like, for example, if I open a Finder window in the Applications folder and type the letter j I select Keynote because it is the first name, alphabetically, starting at or after the letter j.
My guess is this is a matter of which part of the interface has focus. If it is the file list, then such behavior is expected.

Color problems printing from InDesign CC 2014 (and CC)

When I print an ad I'm working on from InDesign, the color is off by a lot. If I save the doc as a pdf, it prints correctly from the pdf. If I print from the same InDesign doc on another machine, it prints fine. The problem is not only with this document. Using Bridge I have synched the color, restarted the computer, reinstalled InDesign CC 2014, trashed the Preferences—basically I've done everything listed on the InDesign printing troubleshooting page. Since the documents print correctly from another machine (all the settings are the same), I shouldn't have to use a work-around. I can't be making a pdf every time I need to print from InDesign—which is all the time. Any help appreciated.

Are you using the same printer and driver on both machines?

IMOVIE 6 PROBLEM IMPORTING FROM A/D CONVERTER

I have a number of VHS tapes to put on DVDs -- when importing them through a Pyro A/D converter, everything is fine except that at about 40 minutes in I get a message which says "You are running dangerously low on hard drive space .........".
The space monitor in the lower corner says about 100GB available when this is happening. I spent about an hour with Apple Tech support but nothing fixed the problem.
Any suggestions will be sincerely appreciated.

Try an early version of iMovie say iMovie3.0.3
I use a Sony Handycam Digital8- the one with TAPE.-but the more expensive one with input options.
You will need to break up input to maximum of 9 minutes for this version of iMovie to work.
I used iMovie5 with this interface to import from a VHS player, so you may be better off using iMovie version 5.

Problem importing from 64 GB Lexar USB card in LR4 on Mac Mini with external hard drive.

Initiated import after deselecting some images. Import was super quick and I was suspicious as the stick had over 40GB of images. Progress bar indicated completed import. Later when I went to process images the Library module indicated that the files were "missing". Eventually I noted that the images were still listed as on the USB stick and had not been imported - though it seems they were imported into the catalogue and listed there with the thumbnails. Luckily I had not erased the USB stick. How do I avoid a repetition of this scenario? What should I do to complete the import? Should I delete the original and delete from Catalogue and start over again? This happened once before and I lost some good images when the progress bar erroneously (?) indicated completed import. Obviously I did something wrong.

As Rikk Flohr has already suggested, you must have selected <Add> (in the top center of the Import Dialog - although in Lr 4.3 this option is not any more available when importing from card).
<Add> is for importing images that are already on the hard drive and you do not want to change their location.
<Move> is for importing images that are already on the hard drive and you do want to change their location.
<Copy> is for importing images from camera / memory card.
You saw the progress bar when you imported. But that does not necessarily mean that your images have been copied to the hard drive.
Importing from memory card / stick / camera involves a two-step process:
a) the images are copied to the hard drive;
b) the images are referenced in the catalog.
In your case it seems that only (b) happened. Thus you get the message that the images (i.e. the image files) are missing once you removed the memory stick.
To correct this: Move the images via your OS (Mac Finder / Win Explorer) to a location where you want your images to be.
Then in Lr re-link the catalog reference with the images files. You do this by right-clicking the folder in question in the folders panel (it should have a question mark in front of the folder name) and selecting <Update folder location> or <Find missing folder>. Navigate to the location of the folder and select it.
For more on re-linking missing images / folders see here:
http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm
http://tv.adobe.com/watch/creative-suite-podcast-photographers/lightroom-dude-where-are-my -photos/
Important:Do not re-import the photos. Re-importing photos that are already in the Lr catalog creates problems.

EPub Validation problems, exporting from InDesign

I've exported my indb file as an epub. When I run the epub through epub check I get three of the same error in three different chapters.
element "div" not allowed here; expected the element end-tag, text or element "a", "abbr", "acronym", "applet", "b", "bdo", "big", "br", "cite", "code", "del", "dfn", "em", "i", "iframe", "img", "ins", "kbd", "map", "noscript", "ns:svg", "object", "q", "samp", "script", "small", "span", "strong", "sub", "sup", "tt" or "var" (with xmlns:ns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg")
I can't figure out what it is in these chapters that might be causing the error. I have 29 chapters in the entire book and there is nothing about these three chapters that appears different from the rest. Does anybody have any ideas on how to fix this error?
Thanks so much for your help.
