Ruler Problem in InDesign CC

Whenever I grab a text box or a picture and move it in CC, small marks appear on my rulers, both horizontal and vertical, as I move the image/box. I have included a screenshot to give you an idea of what it looks like. These ONLY appear in the area of the moved work - the rest of the ruler isn't affected.
I have my rulers set to inches. Is this a bug or is there some setting I can change to fix this? As I am setting work for press runs, this is VERY inconvenient since I need to see the rulers to judge where the work will be on the page.Thanks for any help in advance!

Been having the same problem for a while:
Makes it difficult to set up good guides. Anybody find a solution?

There was a problem updating InDesign CC For more information see the specific error below. Update Failed Download error. Press Retry to try again or contact customer support.(49)

Posted the entire text from the error window, when trying to update, using the normal NON-TECHIE way to update any and all Adobe CC products, via the Creative Cloud updater installed when Adobe Creative Cloud subscription was purchased when first offered.
The following occurs, ad nauseam:
There was a problem updating InDesign CC
For more information see the specific error below.
Update Failed
Download error. Press Retry to try again or contact customer support.(49)
Here's the crux of my frustration:
(1) Customer Service is NOT contact-able, to receive LIVE help.
(2) There is NO way for me to mitigate this "Download error", being a student learning InDesign, and NOT in any way capable of tweaking folders/files here and there.
Therefore, the real question:
Given that a significant number of subscribers are having the above referenced issue with attempting to download the current update for InDesign, WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO, in order to get our contractually paid-for updates to our legally and contractually paid-for Adobe software, specifically in my case, InDesgin's current update?
Please, NO TECHNICAL mumbo-jumbo which most likely will cause the overwhelming majority of users, like me, to seriously corrupt their computer files, but rather an honest, straightforward "what to do" from real CS/Engineers working for Adobe, as to how to FIX this issue, period.
===========================================================
UPDATE:
Here is a way in which I think I was able to "update" my InDesign CC application:
(1) Sign-In to your Adobe Account
https://www.adobe.com/
(2) Click on the MENU icon
(3) Click on the product InDesign icon
Your browser should display the page for Adobe InDesign CC
https://www.adobe.com/products/indesign.html?promoid=KLXLU
(4) Click on the Download icon,
Your browser should now display the page to download InDesign,
https://creative.adobe.com/products/download/indesign
(5) a Pop-Up window should open, and display:
Launch Application
This link needs to be opened with an application.
with the first option to select being the CreativeCloud(URIHandler)
(5) Select this application and click OK.
What happened when I followed steps (1) thorugh (5) is that:
(a) InDesign CC(2014) was installed,
(b) InDesign CC, updated, and then
(c) InDesign CC(2014), also updated.
Why this all worked, is a mystery to me.
Looks like a separate, "new" version of InDesign, InDesign CC(2014), was installed, the existing "old" InDesign was updated, and then the newly installed Indesign CC(2014) was further updated.
A BIT MORE, when I launched my InDesign CC app, and checked to see if there were Updates Available, there in fact was an Adobe InDesign CC 64 bit (9.2.2) update.
I clicked on UPDATE and my "old" InDesign CC app was "successfully updated."
FURTHER INFO: I may have neglected to list some important info ... OS: Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center, 64-bit
Confused, I am able to launch BOTH of these apps, and hopefully I may use one of these versions of the InDesign CC app, to do some InDesign work.
Will keep y'all posted!

How do I fix problem causing Indesign to crash everytime I open it?

I have had InDesign CC 2014 installed on windows 8 computer for month but recently I cannot open it as evertytime it crashed saying 'windows has encountered a problem causing InDesign to stop working' I have tried everything I can think of...please help! (I have it through creative cloud and my other programmes are fine so I don't understand why it is just InDesign?)

What happened the last time it did work? Was there a crash? You might have bad recovery data that is causing it to crash again on restart.
See Replace Your Preferences for directions to the HIDDEN folders where your prefs are stored. The recovery folder is in the same location as the InDesign SavedData file. Empty it and try again.

Printing problems with InDesign CS3 running on OS 10.6

I recently upgrade my old G4 Mac (OS 10.4) to a new Mac Mini running OS 10.6.6. I am still running CS3 and have encountered only one problem. When I print multiple copies documents from InDesign that contain several layers, each copy is processed separately, so that it can take several minutes just to send the print job to the printer if I'm printing over 20 copies. Then once the print job is processed the printer pauses between every copy, which is tripling the printing time. If I print a simpler document with only one or two layers it processes all the copies at once, as it should. I am printing on an Okidata 6150 color laser printer.
I never had this problem on my old computer. I'm wondering if this is one of the "unsupported" bugs of running CS3 on Snow Leopard. I want to make sure that this is a problem unique to running CS3 with Snow Leopard before I go ahead and upgrade to CS4 or CS5.
computer: Mac Mini core 2 duo 2.4 ghz processors, 4 gb RAM, printer: Okidata 6150 DN color laser printer.

Hi again Peter
It is version 5.0.4. I updated it when I newly installed it a week ago in my new computer, and then again updated it just yesterday.
I might mention that before I got my new computer, I was running Mac OS 4.11, and was using InDesign 3.0. I had bought InDesign CS3 about a year ago, but hadn't gotten around to using it since version 3.0 had been working fine, and I was used to it. Then, when I got my new computer, I decided it was time to use the newer version. However, while using InDesign 3.0 with the old Mac OS 4.11, a printing problem popped up there, too, a few months ago... and it also involved printing problems with Adobe Reader. I contacted Adobe, and they sent me a patch which fixed it. I will contact Adobe again if need be, although I thought I'd start here first to see if it was a common enough problem that someone might be able to provide a free and routine answer.

Subject: Printing problems with InDesign CS3 with Mac OS 10.6.3
I neglected to ask what version of indesign CS3 you are using. I also
notice that Mac OSX 10.6.4 has just been released. It actually
addresses some CS3-specific issues, though they seem to be related to
launching the apps, not printing. It may be worth trying to update,
nonetheless.

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.
Also if you can please turn off your e-mail signature if you want to respond via e-mail. Your responses are going to a public forum where the information is accessible by anyone. I have edited your previous response to remove the signature.

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.

Type problem with InDesign, especially CC.

Hi. I'm experiencing a type problem with InDesign, especially CC. When I open a type box, the cursor appears in the top right hand corner. I can correct that by selecting 'range left' but when I paste or type in my copy, the final period of each paragraph appears at the beginning of the last line. This is drivning me up the wall as I can find a way of correcting it.
Any ideas to solve this problem?
Thanks

Are you using a MENA (Middle East North Africa, Hebrew, Arabic, Farsi, …) version? Then restting woul not help.
If not, you have to create a new document with the same Paragraph, Character and Object Styles (name should be identical) and import them into the other document to overwrite these style oddities.
If you are working without styles? Create correct new styles and apply them.
I doubt that resetting preferences will change here anything as paragraph properties from any existing document will not be changed when working with new preferences.

Linked cdr files causing problems in InDesign

I have a Pagemaker file I am trying to open in InDesign. The PageMaker file has linked Corel Draw (cdr) files in the document. When I open the PageMaker file in InDesign, I am having problems with linked cdr files. The graphics come out blurry and I am unable to re-link them from InDesign. The linked cdr files are crisp and clean in PageMaker. If I try Windows\Links and then click on any cdr graphic, the options to relink, go to link, update link or edit orignal are all disabled. There are 2 machines with InDesign on them with the same specs and it happens on both of them.
Here are the machine specs on software: Windows XP SP2, Adobe PageMaker 7.0, InDesign CS3 Ver 5.0, Corel Draw 8 Ver 8.232

So my question is how to re-link these files? Can it be done with InDesign? Is there a compatability problem with InDesign and Corel Draw files? I would prefer not to have to start from scratch with the document.

Printing problems with InDesign CS3 with Mac OS 10.6.3

I am not new to InDesign... I have CS3... but I am brand new to Mac Snow Leopard (OS 10.6.3). Although I can open CS3 and use the application, I cannot print with it. None of my other applications has printing issues... just CS3. Any suggestions?

Problem with Indesign CC 2014 and tables

Problem with Indesign CC 2014 and tables. The text rearranges itself when I delete or add something in a table; the footnotes to the text associated with the overlap even getting unreadable. Just click on the chain symbol in the window and everything is fine. Why?

try circumventing your cc app and see if that helps:
if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: Adobe CC 2014 Direct Download Links: Creative Cloud 2014 Release | ProDesignTools
if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.
the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).
failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

Problem installing Indesign CC (2014) - in log - Failed in key3List generation

Trying to install InDesign CC (2014), all other apps worked no issue with Creative Cloud. Illustrator, Photoshop, Dreamweaver CC (2014) all no problems.
I keep getting there was a problem installing InDesign CC (2014) with the error Installation failed. Unable to extract to temp directory, Please contact customer support. (EX11)
There is adequate disk space, no security issues with folder, have tried disabling Norton, on admin account.
I guess maybe the next step is to uninstall Creative Cloud and run cleaner as a last possibility.
Any other thoughts?
Thanks,
Brian

I am also having the exact same issue. During installation, the CC App was unable to extract to a temporary directory. Please contact customer support (EX11). In my searches to resolve this issue someone pointed me to http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cc-2014-direct-download-links.html to download CC apps manually. I was still having issues installing the program that way as well. When I extract the files to install an error in copying the files occurs. (Error: 0x80004005 Unspecified Error)
Thanks.
Edit:
I am using Windows 7
After troubleshooting the process with adobe customer support, The few key things that made the install successful for me were thus...
1: Find your windows temp folder (press windows key+r) and type %temp% and hit ok. Find your temporary install and delete it and any copies you might have.
2: Make sure you have winzip, winrar or some other file extraction program.
3: Re-download InDesign from your CC app, and if/when it fails go back to the temp folder. (Do not try to download InDesign from the CC app multiple times.)
4: Extract your install in the windows temp file if necessary, and install manually through the installer in your temp folder.
5: The file should install without problems as this point, and proceed to update indesign.
This worked for me. If this does not work for you, customer support is available with your Creative Cloud Membership.
Best of luck!

Getting the default font - possible? (default fonts problem in InDesign Server CS5)

Is there a way to decide whether a font is used as "default font" for a document?
Or a simple way to see whether a font is used at all?
The actual problem is that InDesign server (CS5 ver. 7.0.3.533) returns the "default font" along with all other used fonts, when looping through the document.fonts collection. This becomes a problem when the default font is never used in the document, and is also not present. Then the (name of) the default font may also become meddled by a style that does not even exist for that very font.
This is indicated as a problem in our application... as a missing font, just as the call to InDesign server reports back. But the font (with that style) doesn't even exist.
Running the same script on an desktop InDesign CS5 (ver 7.0.4) the unused default font of the same document is not returned at all.
Thanks,
Andreas

To get the default font, just check:
app.activeDocument.textDefaults.appliedFont
Obviously this didn't solve the problem, since InDesign server has made up a font name that is reported as missing... and it's not equal to the default font. So there is some lack of logic in my previous description.

Update rule problem - validation of "sales/cost w/ tax" keyfigure

BW Gurus,
    Hi to all, i have this update rule problem at "sales/cost w/tax" keyfigure here is the senario.
    Our Goverment mandatory implemented an additional 2% tax from the original 10%, this will affect our report on sales, and also the BW "sales/cost w/ tax" key figure.
    My question is How can I validated the effectivity of the new tax? i have tax 10% from previous sales and 12% on the current sales. What "date field" can I use to validated this. I am using /BIC/CS2LIS_13_VDITM stucture to get the data i need.
Thanks in Advance
Joven

Hi,
Till to day how are extracting the data for tax(original 10%) is it available directly in 2LIS_13_VDITM ?
Usually all taxes( condition types) can be extracted by the data source 2LIS_13_VDKON.Discuss with SD team, they may give the condition type used for different taxes.
With rgds,
Anil Kumar sharma .P
