Why does InDesign default back to Picas every time I launch the app?

I have repeatedly set my preferences in InDesign so that the unit of measurements is Inches. Yet, when I launch the app, it defaults back to Picas. Furthermore, even after adjusting the preferences again, when I open a new document the units are still Picas. How do I fix this?

CS5, yes? If so, that's a bug. ID will use the default settings of the language it was installed in. There's a hack to edit the prefs manually, but I don't have a link handy.

  • Why does Mozilla go back to desktop every time I close the website I am on. It won't left me go back one page to look at something because the arrows are alway

    When I am using Mozilla, I cannot go back one page unless the arrow is black. Most of the time it is grey which means you 'CAN'T
    go back. When I click on the red X to close the page it says, "you are about to close (4 tabs) or however many, "DO YOU WISH TO CONTINUE?" Well, NO, I want to go back to the first page so I can either delete the e-mail or go on to the next one.
    Another issue: when you are looking at your e-mail, there is no way to go to the next one unless you delete the one you are looking at. Am I right about this or am I just unlearned on how to use mozilla? Thank you very much for a prompt answer.

    Make sure that you close the tab by clicking the close X on the Tab bar or middle-click the tab if the close X is hidden.
    If you use the close X in the top right corner then you close the window with all the current tabs.

  • Mail keeps importing my data every time I launch the app.

    MacBook Pro / 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7 / 8 GB RAM / Snow Leopard 10.6.7 – Ever time I launch mail, it as if I launched it for the first time. I get the mail introductory screen about importing all my mail preferences and messages. After I allow it to update all my messages and folders, it crashes. Any ideas?

    Thanks for the response, I've got 125 GB used and 625 available. I don't have any additional partitions on my hard drive. The only thing I wondered about is that I have a ton of saved mail in a bunch of different folders. I have 3 other Macs and haven't had a problem with those. Let me know if you come up with anything else.
    Many thanks.

    "Motion 5" is your friend.
    Michael Wohl has a nice 15 video series (free) about Motion 5 at http://www.macprovideo.com/tutorial/motion5101-overview-and-workflow-guide (right side)
    This is a "teaser" series to sell his tutorials but it is really good. Just saw it yesterday for the first time.
    While all you want is just to place pins, realize that Motion has so much more. All kinds of effects and they can be really customized. Maybe put their street address, contact name, and phone number by the pin?
    Motion 5: cheap at $49.99 (just got my download two days ago)
    Motion 5: Support Community athttps://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/motion_5
    If you're using the map for, say, deliveries, and use an iPad, what you could do is have a general map of the area imported into Motion, create the pins and whatever, then save (share?) it to the iPad.
    Disclaimer: I have virtually no relationship with anything connected with this tutorial product, developer, or anything.

  • Getting prompted for password EVERY time I open the App Store!

    Does anyone have this happen to them? Every time I tap the App Store icon to go browse for new apps, it asks me for my password. Every time. Its driving me nuts LOL. It just started doing it recently out of the blue, so I'm not sure what's causing the issue. I've included a screenshot below...
    Has anyone seen this or, better yet, cured this? Thanks in advance!

    Anyone?
    Totally weird stuff, as it's still doing it. This is after phone reboots, iTunes syncs, etc. etc. I just don't get it...

  • Renew subscription EVERY time I launch an app??

    Hey guys, I was asked by the AdobeCare Twitter Account to post my issue in this forum, so here I am:
    I recently subscribed to a Adobe CC membership and everything worked fine when I had the CS6.
    Now since the CC Versions were released, I wanted to update of course. So I did.
    Since then I am constantly haveing the same issue: I can not launch an app without having to do so many steps!
    Here is what I have to do in order to open up any app (I have to do this EVERY time I launch an app..meaning when I open PS I do this, when I open ID I do this etc)
    1) I click on the icon of the app (in this example PS)
    2) I get the following "error":
    (it is asking me to renew my subscription)
    3) I click on "try again" and I get this message:
    (it says "Thank you, your subscription for CC is now activated")
    4) I click on "Continue" and get this message (again):
    So I click on "Do you have another Adobe-ID?" and get to see this window:
    ... where I type in my Password and click on "Sign in" resulting in this:
    and finally after clicking on "accept" in this:
    ...which basically is the same windows I get to see right at the beginning.
    At this point I want to mention again that I have to do this  e v e r y t i m e  I start an app, for each app I have to run through all of these steps and if I close an app by accident and re-open it, I have to do this again.
    I already tried to delete that file in the OOBE folder, did not work out.
    Also, I am lacking all the presets in Premiere Pro (Digital DSLR etc) which makes me think, that all of my apps are running in trial mode..? At least I had this issue, when I launched Premiere as a trial in the past.
    Don't get me wrong..But this is totally annoying and kills my workflow.
    Any help? I would greatly appreciate it!
    Thanks and greets from Germany!

    On the device that you don't want the apps to be downloaded on, go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Automatic Downloads. Once you turn that off, your problem will be fixed.
