Why can't I see a preview image when opening files in InDesign?

I have "Always save preview images with documents" checked in File Handling, also with Save As. But I can only see the CS3 ID icon in my folders on the desktop, and when opening a file in InDesign. I'm running 10.4.11. Shouldn't I be able to see a preview image of the first page of an InDesign file?
Thanks!

i think those preview images means that indesign saves a lowres image of every placed image inside indd. So you can open your indd in some other computer and see all placed images even if you don´t have all the original linked hires images transferred with indd.
If you want to see your documents first page as document icon, use Bridge to browse your files. It recognizes a content of indd files and show first page as icon. .

Why can't I see the layers of cs4 .psd files passed to me in photoshop elements 11?

why can't I see the layers from cs4 .psd files passed to me in photoshop elements 11?

You should be able to see normal layers, but PSE doesn't understand layer groups/sets or comp layers. The inexpensive add-on elements+ from simplephotoshop.com will let you expand layer groups. (If you also have Premiere Elements installed you should be able to see layer groups in PSE without adding anything.)

Why can't I see the whole image?

I can not see the whole image in the viewing area. All I get is a partial rectangular section, with the rest being either white, or checkerboard. It doesn't matter what size the image is, nor how many layers, or even whether I use the 32 or 64 bit versions of the software. I even have the same problem when I create a new image from scratch. It doesn't matter whether I reboot the system either.
I am using Windows Vista, on a two year old machine, but it does have a powerful processor, and 4GB of RAM. I've checked the system resources, and the CPU is only 25% occupied with 2GB or RAM to spare... so what gives?

You need an updated display driver.
Go to the web site of the maker of your video card (not Microsoft), and locate their current release for your hardware and OS. Download and install, and it will almost certainly solve this issue.

Why can't I see recently imported images in my grid view?

I"m using Elements 12. I recently imported new images and normally I can see the images in the grid view. However, I cannot see these new images unless I click on each individual image to open the file. All prior imported images are viewable in the grid view.

No, that just shows the carrier. I am looking for the setting>general>carrier tab from where you can select the carrier you want to connect to either automatically or manually. The previous iPhone 5 had it, Apple exchanged the set as it had a hardware problem and it's missing from the new set. Want to get it back

How can I turn off the Typekit font check when opening files in InDesign

Adobe InDesign CC, Version 9.2.1 x32
Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
Every time I open an existing file in InDesign which is using a font I have installed on my PC I get the following message:
"No matches were found on TypeKit, click "Find Font" to replace with fonts that exist on your computer"
I'm able to click on Find Font and then select the font that TypeKit is unable to find - can I stop it checking for this as I have the font installed on my local machine?
Many thanks.

Hi Adrian,
I'm sorry that you ran into trouble with this. Some users have reported an issue in the current version of InDesign which can temporarily deactivate installed fonts. Please note that this is actually unrelated to Typekit; it just happens to occur at the time you see our logo in the missing fonts window.
The InDesign team is still investigating the factors which trigger this situation, but the basic issue is this: the Missing Fonts dialog causes fonts which are managed through Extensis Suitcase and FontExplorer to not auto-activate correctly, or for managed fonts to even be visible in the application after upgrade.
In both cases, the InDesign Missing Fonts dialog appears to override the Font Management tool dialogs that allow users to manage fonts within the Application.
If you use Suitcase Fusion, there is a simple configuration change needed:
1. close the Missing Fonts window
3. go to the Type menu and select "Suitcase Fusion 5".
3. From the submenu, choose "Library" and then check "All Libraries" so all fonts can be auto-activated as needed
4. from the Type menu, select "Suitcase Fusion 5" again, and then "Check Document’s Fonts" to activate the missing fonts,
If the font is being managed by Suitcase, it will find and update the fonts.
In FontExplorer, if your managed fonts are not visible in InDesign after upgrading to InDesign 9.2
Go to FontExplorer/Tools and select
1. Clean System Font Caches (this will require a system reboot)
2. Clean Application Font Caches
On non-Mavericks systems, you will need to de-activate and then reactivate font protection. Launch a terminal window and enter
sudo atsutil fontprotection -off
Then enter
sudo atsutil fontprotection -on
Relaunch InDesign. your managed fonts should now be visible and auto-activation should work.
The fonts can always be activated from within the Font Management software itself, even with the missing fonts dialog open.
The InDesign team is looking into the issue to determine the root cause as well; our apologies for any inconvenience it causes in the meantime.
Cheers,
Benjamin

How can I always have "enable all documents" selected when opening files in Indesign CS6?

Every time I open a file in CS6, I still have to select "open all documents" to see my files that have already been converted to CS6. Before, once a file was converted to the newer version of indesign, you would see it in the menu automatically when open "readable documents" was selected. Now when I go to find a file that I've already converted to CS6, it still makes me select "open all documents" because it doesn't show up as a "readable document"
hope this makes sense.
i'm running osx 10.6.8, mac pro

if it has a .indd, .indt, .inx or .idml extension ist should show up as readable, regardless of the version. If it's not you have a bigger problem.
Start by trashing your prefs. See Replace Your Preferences

Why can't I see my iPhone images in Finder?

5-6 year old iMac with 10.6.8
iPhone 4
Yes, I can import into iPhoto, but since I do my editing in Picasa I'd rather just drag or import straight from Finder. Yes, I can start messing with iCloud but really all I want is to see any files or images on my iPhone in the Finder so I can simply and easily access them.
I'm starting to get really sick of my iMac and its OS, not being able to do this is one of the reasons that's pushing me further and further toward just building my own Windows PC instead of dealing with compatibility and access/forced application usage issues.
Cheers,
PL

Did you try to use Image Capture?
If you do not have iPhoto installed on your computer, you can import pictures from the device using Image Capture:
Connect the iOS device to the computer.
If Image Capture does not open automatically, you can navigate to your Applications folder and open Image Capture from there.
Choose the location to which you'd like to import pictures.
Click Options.
Click the Options tab if it isn't already selected.
Enable the option "Delete items from camera after downloading".
Note: Deleting photos after importing helps to reduce Camera Roll size, and it improves backup and restore times. You may choose Keep Photos if you wish to import the photos to additional computers.
Click OK.
Click Download All.

Silly question but why can't I see my rejected images

I'm sure there's a really easy solution to this. When I reject an image with an 'x' it disappears from my viewer. I know it's still in the same project because I can see it in the 'Rejected' project folder and check its master location. What I want to do is look at my rejects alongside my other rated images in the same project. Is there a quick filter option I've clicked without realizing?
Thanks in advance...

Another approach is to set up a Smart Album with Rating is X (slider to left) selected; then you can look at your rejects anytime.
To make the point even clearer, you can name the album "Rejects [Rating = X]" or similar.

I just upgraded to Lightroom CC5 from 4, and the card will only download 1 image from my recent shoot of 10 images. Why can't I see the other images?

Lightroom 5 will only download one image from my card, when I shot 10. Iphoto doesn't have a problem with it. I never had this problem with Lightroom 4.

Sort by capture time and the images won't be "scattered all over the place".
Just show "NEW" photos in the import.
As Jim said, reformat your card after all your backups are done and verified.

Why can't I see the Finder thumbnails for .mov files with alpha channels?

Ever since I upgraded to Mavericks I haven't been able to see the thumbnail for or preview using spacebar any .MOV clips that contain alpha channels in Finder. PSDs and PNGs with alpha channels are fine, and I can still see their thumbnails and previews, it's just .MOV clips with alpha. Here are a couple screenshots:
Most of these clips are using a PNG codec, but I converted on to the Animation codec and tested it in After Effects to make sure it kept the alpha channel and it did, but the same thumbnail error persists.
Any idea why this might be or how to fix it?

Thanks.

ok, have copied the photos again from the memory card and hey presto, it all works fine. So in summary...for RW2 files from GF1 camera, I have no thumbnail images, couldn't view in Preview, and neither Quickview nor Coverview were working. Ran the bit of code provided at "https://discussions.apple.com/message/18369759#18369759" (thanks to Snoop Dogg) and then recopied the photos onto my Mac (only required for photos copied since upgrading to Lion, everything from before the upgrade is fine anyway).
Hope others find this helpful.

Why can I only see my Camera Roll when uploading photos?

Trying to upload pictures to Facebook but when I click the camera I can only see the camera roll, can't see any of my albums.
Any help would be appreciated.

If you go to system preferences and then displays you'll get all the options for adjusting what you are asking for. I also use a TV for the same purpose you are describing. I find it works best to leave it in the manner you are describing. Mirroring just duplicates everything unless of course that is the effect you are going for. You can also adjust the positioning of the monitors in the relation to each other weather you want one on the left or right or which one to be the main and secondary. Then all you will need to do is swipe the media player onto the other monitor and then your main monitor will be free to use while you watch your videos on the other. Essentially, your desktop area will span your computer monitor and the TV screen you can also change the desktop image on both screens to different images they don't need to be the same. I watch a lot of TV shows I have in itunes. This way I can watch TV and still use my computers main monitor for the internet or whatever.

Why can't I see the list view in the file browser

In the file browser for FCP X, I can see the files in the thumbnail view but when I choose "list view", I see nothing.

Check three things: the filter popup in the upper left, the search box in the upper right, make sure there's nothing in it, and the action popup (the gear in the lower left) make sure there is no weird setting that's removing everything.
You can also trash your preferences to reset them.

Why can't I get the Preview application to open PDF files?

Since the end of April 2014, I have had problems with the Preview application. When I try to open Preview, I get the following message: "This application 'Preview.app can't be opened." "-1712.". I tried a recommended solution that I found in the Apple Support Communities, which said I could go to Finder > press the Option key to show Library and then go Preferences and then search for the Preview plist file and delete it.
Unfortunately, that did not work.
Two other Apple owners had the same problem and said the above procedure had worked for them, but post were back in the year 2012. When I followed the above procedures, it did not make any change in the problem with Preview. I still cannot open it. Does any one out there have an suggestions?
It is possible that any recent updates for MacBook Pro from Apple caused the problem? Will I forever have to resort to using Adobe's PDF program?

Hi aK'
Nice, memorable user name!
-1712 is a timed out error. One reported cause (with other applications) is that the application is attempting to open a large number of files, or a file that no longer exists.
Try holding down the shift key when launching preview. This prevents the application from attempting to open windows that were not closed before quitting the application.

Barry

Why can't I see my Itunes library when I connect to the computer?

I want to see what songs are in my Ipod with my new nano and with my mini, when plugged in to my computer I had the option to see every song in my device. I can't see any of my songs when I click on the Music tab. I need to change some of the file names as they show up in all different places.

scotty, you have to have your iTunes open and running to air play unless you subscribe to Match.

Why can't I see my hotmail folders when using Mail on my Mac, but I can see them when I use Mail on my iPhone, weird?

I've set up Mail on my new Mac, but the folders I have set up in my Hotmail are not visible. Funny, coz I can see the folders when using Mail on my Iphone. Have I set the connection between Hotmail and my Mac incorrectly? It was very automated so I don't know what I did incorrectly. Can anyone out there give me a tip?
Cheers, Paul
