  • Why isn't the enter key working in InDesign?

    I have installed Adobe InDesign CS6 as creative cloud but pressing the enter key on the numbers keypad doesn't move my text to the next page as it should but just drops it to the next line. What can I do to resolve this?

    Windows Laptop? Some of them have both the enter keys mapped together, and changing the state of the Numlock will swap between functions. If that's you, edit the shortcuts so bothEnter keys are a paragraph break, and make a new shortcut for page break (Numpad enter is actually a column break, by default).

  • Why isn't the Apple store working?

    Why isn't the Apple store working? I wanted to buy a iPad but I can't because the store isn't working. When will the store start working?

    Apple is in the midst of announcing new products and they normally take the Apple Store offline while a keynote is in progress. The Apple Store will be back up when the keynote is over. Try back in about a half an hour or so.
    Regards.

  • Why does my latest generation ipod nano spontaneously change songs

    Why does my latest generation ipod nano spontaneously change songs and what can I do to control or prevent it?

    Seems logical and likely to fix it.  Have 3 locations where it was happening and will test and get you your ten points if all tests well.  Thanks.

  • Why isn't the plugin checker working anymore?

    I check for updates to my plugins very often. The Plugin Check page has been saying that all my plugins are up to date. However, twice now I've clicked the button to check anyway, and found that a plugin was not up to date after all. Why isn't the Plugin Check page detecting when my plugins need updating?

    I don't know what you guys have been doing at Mozilla but you've ruined a decent product!

  • I have goen back to Firefox 3.6. Why isn't my AdBlock plus working?

    (This is my 3rd try on this stupid new computer [just shy of 2 months]. It is an HP laptop with Windows 7. It is TOO responsive. It erases entire things I am writing for reasons I have no idea why....)
    Anyway. I have had this problem once before. I have a very important Google "Main Page" bookmark that has links to things like my calendar, gmail, and most importantly something called "IGoogle". This is a sort of masterpiece I made myself a long time ago that consists of a SERIES of pages with specific add-ins that I want -- e.g. a "Home" page that has everything from my to do list to biorhythms; then there are pages such as "Cartoons & Other Fun", "Daily Add-Ins", & several more. I rely on these things! I have been rolling along just fine in Firefox 4 up until a few days ago when I have no idea what happened! My Ad Block Plus was working AND all my IGoogle pages were fine. Then -- as it is wont to do -- the computer did its latest "willy nilly" trick & reduced my Google start page to absolute microprint -- and I mean, BEYOND microprint! I kept clicking on control & + & finally got it back to the right size, but in the meantime -- something happened to the start page. Now when I go to my "Google Main" bookmark & go to my "IGoogle", I get the pages..... BUT there is nothing on them!!!! So -- I re-installed Firefox 3.616 (because I know the pages work on that) -- & also upgraded to 3.617. The IGoogle pages work fine. However.... now my Ad Block Plus has completely disappeared. When I go to tools>add-ons, for Ad Block Plus, all I see is "Options" along with "Disable" or "Uninstall". If you click on ANY of those, all I get is little bells dinging, absolutely NOTHING happens, and then the little window will not close! If I click uninstall, it will claim it has done it & will take effect when I restart Firefox. I do that -- except exactly the same thing is still there. I have tried to do a new install of Ad Block Plus -- and I get something about an "unknown error" & that the thing cannot install! Fine. If I go back & then re-install Firefox 4, the AdBlock Plus works fine, but once again my IGoogle pages have no content.
    Now, I had this problem once before. Somehow one day I was able to upgrade to Firefox 4 DIRECTLY from the 3.616 -- that is, WITHOUT downloading the Firefox 4.exe (or whatever it is). At that point, I happily had both my AdBlock Plus AND all my IGoogle pages. I can't remember how I was able to do this!
    For now, all I know is that I have two choices:
    If I stay in Firefox 3.616, I can have my IGoogle pages BUT AdBlock Plus doesn't work & the ads are driving me absolutely CRAZY!
    I can get rid of the ads in Firefox 4, but I can't have my IGoogle pages.
    Help!

    I'm Sorry! The Crash ID You Gave In The System Details Can Not Be Opened.. Can You Re-Post A New one?
    Thanks!

  • Why isn't my iPhone 5c working to it's full potential?

    I am currently using iOS 8.1.1 on my iPhone 5c. I have had the phone since last Christmas (December 2013) so it is almost a year old. In the last few weeks, I have been having some issues with my iPhone that I know should not be an issue on a fairly new phone.
    Problem 1: I have a pending software update for iOS 8.1.2 which Apple is telling me I do not have enough storage to download. I am finding it hard to understand this as I have removed all of my photographs from my iPhone in order to make room for it, and I also only have a very small number of apps (15). I have 100 contacts on my phone which is the only thing I can think of that may be taking up too much storage. I do not understand why I can't download the update, and I also don't understand why it even takes up that much storage on my phone anyway? Surely the update should not take any storage of what I am actually paying for? Maybe I am just short of knowledge about Apple and how it all works, as I don't really understand the whole thing anyway.
    Problem 2: I am not sure whether this is a problem with the device or with my contract but when I leave a place where I have been using wifi, my phone does not use it's 3G. In my contract with EE, I pay for unlimited 3G however, when my mobile data is switched on, and also enabling 4G, I am not able to use the internet. At the top of the screen where the symbol for 3G usually appears, there is nothing. I have to switch my device off and then back on to make it work. Does anyone know why this is?
    Problem 3: My Wi-Fi symbol keeps appearing in a pale grey colour. It does not allow me to switch the Wi-Fi on and on the swipe up box the Wi-Fi symbol is appearing dark and I am not able to switch it on. This is very frustrating for me as I do not have signal in my home so I rely on the Wi-Fi, yet I have not been able to use it for 2 days now. It has happened before to me also but switching the device off and back on again seemed to work. I have tried all 'home remedies' to try to solve this problem, I have switched off the Wi-Fi box from the wall at my house and put it back on - nothing. I have switched my phone off and on several times - still nothing. I have also reset the network settings on my phone - nothing. I have tried putting Airplane Mode on, then turning it off but the Wi-Fi symbol still remains dark grey and I am unable to switch it on.

    Your issue is different from the OP's.  In the future, post your own thread to get answer to your specific questions.
    For the OP: Go to Settings > General > Auto-Lock and set it to your preferred time.
    For you: Create a backup and restore the device as new and test it to see if it still gets very hot.

  • Why doesn't my arrow keys work?

    I can not use my arrow keys. When I got into my messages and try to use the arrow keys it brings me back to the main screen.

    I filmed a golf swing with my Casio Exilim at 450 fps and transferred the video to my computer.  I opened them in QuickTime and encountered the issue.  On my old iMac, I could advance the film frame by frame using the arrow keys but on my laptop it won't.
    Not familiar with all of the cameras in this line and, as you didn't give a model number, there is no way to look up additional information. However, assuming the "new" platform is running the QT X player (i.e., you still have not indicated which app you are trying to view the file in), and your "old" system may have had the QT 7 Player installed, then you could try simply installing the QT 7 Player v7.6.6 or MPEG Streamclip as previously indicated. If the problem is merely due to the excessively high frame rate (I.e., if your camera does not shoot "muxed" MPEG-2 video) then these QT 7 based apps should work the same as they did on your older system assuming the new system is properly configured with the correct codec components. (I.e., many Casio cameras use compression formats in the AVI file container which may require the Perian codec package also be installed for proper playback.)

  • Why doesn't my alt key work?

    In my Photoshop CC, the alt key only duplicates the layer; I can’t use the clone tool or the healing brush.  Does anyone know what is going on here?

    Or Diane might be trying to use the Spot Healing brush and Clone tools on empty layers without Sample all layers checked.  Or working outside an active selection.  I expect there are conditions that would cause such behaviour.
    Diane, if you are convinced everything is set right, and there is no user error (we all do user error now and again) then you might need to reset the tool from the Preset panel or Options bar.  Or if that doesn't help, it might be time to reset Preferences  (hold down Shift Ctrl Alt - Shift Cmd Opt while starting Photoshop.)

  • Why isn't the App Store working at all?

    Okay so after updating my iPad this morning my App Store isn't working, like AT ALL. And I have yet to update my iPhone 5 because it also will not let me use the App Store. What's up with it?

    I think you just have to keep retrying throughout the day.
    Once you get in, perhaps just update the Apps that are most important to you for now.
    The servers are still going to be very busy today.

  • Why isn't email link not working for only one address?

    Windows 7, Outlook 10, InDesign CS6, Acrobat X Pro, version 10.1.5
    I have a series of email addresses that work fine in the resulting .pdf (set to generate automatically), but there's one that either isn't recognized as an email address, or when it is, has a few extra characters that appear after it.
    [email protected]
    I've tried retyping this, starting a new file, any of the usual tricks, but can't get it fixed.
    What the heck's going on?!!
    Thanks,
    Caren

    I may have misunderstood what you're doing. If you are relying on Acrobat/Reader to recognize certain text as email addresses (Edit > Preferences > General > Create links from URLs), then a workaround is to create an actual link (Open a web page type) and set it to a "mailto" type:
    mailto:[email protected] 

  • Why won't my delete key work in CS6?

    Have new ID CS6 on new iMac, all working great but I can't delete text or picture boxes with my delete key for some reason, only Apple-X seems to work. I have tried delete key in Word and functioning as normal.
    Seems very odd - any help much appreciated!
    PS Apologies - have read through forum and followed advice to assign 'delete' to 'edit > clear' on shortcuts and has done the trick.

    Either that or try John's scripts at http://forums.adobe.com/message/4090334

    Hello Neygotsole,
    Having your device malfunction can certainly be frustrating. After reviewing your post, it sounds as though your device is experiencing multiple issues. I have located an article that can help with software issues. Have you attempted to restore the device to factory settings without restoring from a backup? Test the issue on a new installation, and make sure that it works. Then use the same article to restore from your backup to either verify it still works, or isolate the issue to the backup itself.
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups

  • Why isn't the SD option working for some tv shows?

    For convenience sake, I download a lot of tv shows, and I have always had the option of choosing SD or HD. For some shows (for example, Devious Maids) it will only let me choose HD now, though I have bought it in SD before. Most of the shows are still available in SD on Amazon, but I prefer iTunes. Anybody else experiencing this and does anyone have an explanation?

    Either your words are not 3D layers or your Composition is set to Front View. You must be looking at the Active Camera view to see what the camera moves will look like when rendered.
    If that doesn't solve your problem then select the camera layer and the text that is not moving, press the U key twice to reveal all modified properties and send us a full resolution screenshot by dragging it into the Reply field on this forum.
