Why are my Panels empty?

Hi. I am new to indesign.
My paragragh, character, effects and object styles panels are basically empty.
ie.... my character styles panel says only "none".
Do I need to load styles into those panels?
Have I done something wrong during install?
thanks for any info.  Hal

Try going to Window -> Type and Tables -> Character. That should give you a font dropdown, leading, kerning, etc.
If you go to Window -> Styles -> Character Styles, then you'll get an empty list. A style lets you group many different text characteristics (font, color, leading, etc.) and apply them all at once, by selecting one Character Style. In a new document, you won't have any styles - you have to make them yourself.

  • Why are my playlists empty?

    Ok, bought a 5s.  All of my music is on an ipad2, pc that all my devices were synced to is dead and gone, never resynced, just used the ipad2.
    Had all the files on a HD.  Transfered the files into new itunes install on new pc.  Got all the music back in itunes.  Restored the settings for my 5s from full icloud backup.  Plugged it into pc with new itunes install, with all my music newly added.  Did a full backup into itunes on the pc.  Restored the phone from that backup to associate the 5s with this itunes.  Synced my entire library of music onto my 5s (larger capacity than old phone, decided to put all the music on).  Everything seems cool.  No lost data, auto sign in apps all still working....
    why are some of my playlist blank or incomplete?
    all the songs are there.  the playlists aren't in the new itunes install, but they are still on the phone.  Why can't the phone see that the files in those playlists are right there?

    See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. If you have all the media then my scripts ImportDevicePlaylists and SyncStats may well let you recover some more useful information from the device without any other tools.

  • Why are my albums empty

    Lately when I put pictures in albums they don't stick.  When I sign in to iPhoto again the albums are empty.  Can anyone tell me why that is happening?

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • Why are my folders empty after moving from desktop to documents?

    I copied all of my files and folders from the desktop to "documents". They transferred ok and then I deleted them from the desktop. The next day, all of the newly moved folders were there in "documents" but they were all empty.
    How can I find and/or recover them?
    How can I prevent this?

    You can recover them from the backup you have on Time Machine.
    If you don't have a backup:There are some third party utilities that might be able to recover the files if you didn't write new data over them. Here's one: Mac Data Recovery to Recover Data on Mac OSX – Stellar Phoenix
    How to avoid this in the future:backup anything you don't want to lose.

  • Why are clipping adjustments in the basic panel not being saved, updated or shown in the histogram? I am using LR 5.7 on a MAC OSX 10.8 etc.

    Why are clipping adjustments in the basic panel not being saved, updated or shown in the histogram? I am using LR 5.7 on a MAC OSX 10.8 etc.

    Here is more information and hopefully a better explanation. My version of
    LR-5.7 (OS X 10.8.5) apparently does not save the .NEF (Nikon RAW) edits
    done in the basic module. That means that I can correct exposure,
    highlights, shadows etc. but once I go to another picture and returned to
    the edited one the histogram (on the edited photo) and specifically the
    clipping triangles are white or some other color. This is normally suppose
    to indicate that some channel or all channels are clipped in the
    highlight/shadow areas. If I adjust any slider in the Basic panel even as
    little as one +/- value or press the J-key, the histogram will now show the
    original edit. Moving on to another photo and then returning to to
    previously edited one and again the edits are "not saved" and I have to hit
    the J-key or adjust a slider to see the previously edited information
    reflected in the histogram.
    This is especially frustrating for fours reasons. If I have edited a shoot
    and return to it I cannot see from the clipping information whether the
    original edit was correct and of course I might re-edit it (to some now
    incorrect value). This brings up the second issue synchronization. I can't
    rely on it because if I go back to fine tune a specific image in the batch
    the triangles are white or some other color for that and every image. I have
    to hit the J-key to show/hide clipping or the back slash key to see
    before/after previews. This is the third issue which is very time consuming
    and inefficient regarding my workflow. The forth issue is that I have
    noticed that normally when an image is saved in PS, LR adds a copy of the
    saved version to its catalogue. I have noticed that the PS to LR saves are
    all wrong in terms of exposure (they are much lighter in tone) than the
    original LR edit and the PS edit on my screen. If I check the PS to LR photo
    in LR I notice that the Basic panel values have been changed and that I have
    to sync the image with the originally edited RAW/NEF LR file to get it to
    look the same.
    Note 1). I am using an Apple cinema display and a calibrated Eizo ColorEdge
    monitor to view my NEF files. I have reverted back to using LR 4 however I
    am not sure if I should expect compatibility problems with Camera Raw 7.4 in
    LR 4 vs. Camera Raw 8.6 in LR 5.
    Note 2.) I am going to do an import converting everything to .dng  to see if
    this is a work around.
    Note 3). I would be interested in knowing if this issue is related to the PS
    RAW engine ver. 8.6, the Adobe created NEF calibrations or LR 5.
    Note 4). I have duplicated this issue in OS X 10.8.5, OS X 9.xx and OS X
    10.10.1
    Hopefully someone else has noticed this problem. Any shared information
    would be valuable. Thanks for the reply.

  • HT1665 Why are my contacts not listed ?  They used to be there.

    Why are my contacts not listed?  They used to be there.

    I had the same thing happen to me.  It's a bug in iPhoto 9.4.2.
    The first time you run iPhoto after upgrading to iPhoto 9.4.2, it "updates the iPhoto library".  This sometimes tickles a bug where iTunes can see all your iPhoto albums, but iTunes thinks they are empty.  Since iTunes thinks all your albums are empty, it dutifully deletes any photos from your synced iOS devices.
    It's easy to tell if this is the problem you are seeing.  Open iTunes and go to the photos sync panel for one of your iOS devices.  If you have multiple albums checked, but iTunes shows a total of 0 photos, then you have the problem.
    I spent an hour with an Apple Genius.  he couldn't find any mention of this problem in their internal support system.  His recomendation was to reinstall the operating the system.  I suspect that this won't solve it.
    The only solution I have found is to restore iPhoto 9.4.1 and the corresponding iPhoto library from your backups.
    I would refrain from upgrading to iPhoto 9.4.2 until Apple has a fix for this issue.

  • Why are 2 different date formats being used in thunderbird?

    Hello
    in the attachment you will see that the listing of emails (on the left) is shown using UK date format DD/MM/YY (that's what I want), however, the message content panel shows the date in the US format MM/DD/YY (I definitely do not want this).
    Why are 2 different formats being applied in Thunderbird, and how can I get both to be UK DD/MM/YY please.
    Many thanks

    I should have said :
    this is Thunderbird 31.6.0 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
    Image resent due to previous failure.

  • Why table RCT4 is empty???

    Dear All experts,
    I am trying to open SBO table RCT4 in SQL 2000 server using (return all rows), but there is no data. Although I have done some transactions in outgoing payment using account code, but it is still empty. I use the table in creating new view in SQL 2000 using OVPM join with table RCT4 and I use select all rows from RCT4 and OVPM. After run it, the result is empty for some field like :
    - AcctCode
    - AcctName
    - Descrip
    Why could it be empty ? meanwhile if I use table VPM4, it works well. The strange things and annoying me are that there are two tables in outgoing payment row with code type is account, they are : RCT4  and VPM4, it is a little bit confusing. In the next time I don't want it happened, so please let me know the solution for these problems, how to choose the exact table and I can work once only. i appreciate your answers. TIA
    Rgds,

    Hi Steve,
    Incoming payments: ORCT (header) - RCT4 (details)
    Outgoing payments: OVPM (header) - VPM4 (details)
    You have to join the ones with the same type. So as you're looking only for outgoing payments use the second option.
    HTH,
    Ian

  • Why do my panels not work in CC 2014

    I made my own panels in CC but they don't work in CC 2014. I miss them.

    It's the latter. Thank you for answering my question.

    Are you talking about a custom workspace, or actual panels made with Configurator?  If the former, then go Preferences > Sync settings.  If the latter, then those Flash panels no longer work in CC 2014.  Check out any of the multiple threads about Extensions being greyed out.

  • Why are most of my keywords not included when I export images?

    Why are most of my keywords not included when I export images?
    Since starting with Lightroom 1, I've entered keywords into either of the two fields between "keyword tags" and "keyword suggestions" in the keywording panel.  I was unaware that some keywords are more equal than others, or that Lightroom offered (or has added?) hierarchy support.
    I recently stumbled into the news (to me) that Lightroom tags can be organized into a hierarchy, so I exported my keywords to a text file to examine.  I hadn't unwittingly created any hierarchies, but an astounding fraction of the keywords were within square brackets.  Sure enough, if I export an image, keywords within square brackets are omitted from the output (jpeg) file.  How nice.  Since I began with Lightroom 1, I've added nearly 1600 keywords.. Too bad most of them are coded wrong... so as not to accompany output that I create.
    1.     What was I supposed to do, as a photographer beginning to use Lightroom, to enter keywords simply but reliably:  what I type is what I get? I'd expected that's what the "just type here" interface would provide.
    I especially dislike obtaining erratic results:  most keywords are in square brackets, but a few are not.  Of course, when I use a simplified interface, I should expect not to have access to some of the options or features.  However, I shouldn't inadvertently trigger undocumented behavior.
    2.     Does the Adobe reference help system say how to enter keywords simply and reliably, in its documentation of the keywording panel? I don't find my answer under the Keywords topic, within Home / Using Photoshop Lightroom 3 / Organizing photos in the catalog.
    (I NOW realize that the instructions for the "Create/Edit keyword tags" dialog mention exporting. However, that's not the method I was using.)
    Dick Rawson

    I'm afraid that I distracted you with my background mention of hierarcharial keywords; I'm not asking about them.
    I've entered keywords for several years of using Lightroom.  Suddenly, this week, I find that most (yet not all) of them have the attribute of "don't include the keyword in an exported file's metadata."  I never intended to ask for that; I thought all keywords will stay with the file and its offspring, and that's what I wanted.
    So I'm asking:
    1.     What did I do "wrong" to induce Lightroom to give the keywords that attribute? I never intended to ask it to.
    2.     Where does Adobe document how to enter keywords reliably so that they stay with the file on output?  I can't find that Adobe does.
    > Can you be more clear about keywords in square brackets? I know when you export the keywords as a list you can get a normalized data file that uses punctuation and tabs as delimiters...
    I did export the keywords into such a list:  most keywords in the plain-text list have square brackets surrounding them, indicating keywords that will be omitted from metadata of any image that Lightroom exports.
    My concern is not that the brackets are there.  They encode the attribute of "don't include the keyword in an exported file's metadata," and recognizing that attribute concerns me.
    > ...but I've never seen keywords in image files or in the interface rendered so.
    I haven't, either.

  • Why Are Some Of My Downloads Landing In The Trash?

    Why are some of my downloads landing in the trashcan? I just went to empty my trash can and when I opened it up I found about 5 files that I downloaded just last night. Why would my personal and important files have found thier way into my trash can?
    Blessings,
    Damon

    sometimes, depending on how the file was compressed, the .zip or .sit files will go into the trash once uncompressed.
    are the uncompressed files still in your download location? (desktop, download folder, etc.)
