With InDesign CS6, I keep losing images in my library.

The image is there in the library, but when I drag it onto the page it is just a gray rectangle.

Check the Links panel to see if the image is properly linked. It might have been moved since it got put in the library.
Also, check your View > Display Performance settings. You might be set for Fast Display.

  • Having major issues with InDesign CS6. will upgrade fix???

    Having major issues with InDesign CS6. Not only is it crashing, but it is corrupting the existing file.  Then when I relaunch, it is not allowing me to open the file again.
    In another instance, yesterday I opened an file created 3 months ago and it allowed me to make changes, however I could not save them to the existing file, or not even to a new name.
    I had to copy each layer on each page to create a new document.  NOT GOOD!!!  Just saw that ADOBE has an update for InDesign.  WILL THIS FIX THE PROBLEM??

    Yes, I would certainly get the latest update. That we often solve issues like these, for this is not normal. Some further tips would be quite InDesign, then to trash your InDesign preferences and then re-start InDesign (it will rebuild them again). Some further areas to look into would be:
    * Corrupt Font(s) (or corrupt font caches - see below)
    * Corrupt Image(s)
    * Power Failures (power surges)
    * Placing images via drag-and-drop from an Internet page
    * Working on an InDesign file over a network or on a remote server
    If all else fails, we as Markzware (I work for them) also offer a Service to fix corrupt InDesign documents. See:
    http://markzware.com/support/faq/recover-bad-file-service/
    Hopefully this helps you.

  • Crash with Indesign CS6 and Keyboard Maestro

    Anyone else experiencing crashes when using Keyboard Maestro with Indesign CS6 on OSX Mavericks? (Latest update of all mentioned apps).
    Indesign crashes when I try to copy certain items in Indesign, but it is not possible to narrow down which. Happends even when there are no macros installed in KBM. Therefore it seems like its the Keyboard Maestro Engine that causes the crashes.

    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.

  • Sign in with indesign CS6 in folio builder panel

    hi! I can't sign in with indesign CS6 in folio builder panel. what can a i do?? I can sign in from adobe web page, but not from indesign, and the option "updates" from "Help" menu is deactivated

    I found one way to fix it:
    - quit all CS6 apps
    - if in OSX force quit the CS6ServiceManager via Activity Monitor app
    - go to the User Library (hold down option key while accessing the Go menu) and find these:
    /Library/Application Support/Adobe/CS6ServiceManager/preference/csxs3.pref  - move this file out to desktop
    Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE/opm.db - move this file out to desktop
    zip these up and delete the original, you now have inaccessible copies to put back just in case but have found this unnecessary.
    - Restart Indesign and log in should now hold.
    Found this started to happen after updating to 10.9.2, on a number of our designers machines.

  • My Fonts change when opening an InDesign CS4 file with InDesign CS6

    I've been experiencing strange behaviour when opening a InDesign CS4 file file with InDesign CS6: the kerning and spacing is all off:
    Original file:
    opened in InDesign CS6:
    Is this a conversion error? Is there a setting/pref I've got wrong?

    It's more than a year ago since this issue was reported, but at this time I'd had the same problem when opening a CS4 document in CS6/CC.
    I was amazed that a header, placed in capitals, looked different in CS6/CC. But at last, after several tests, i've came to the conclusion that "forced" capitals behaving different than "real" capitals. In others words: when you forcing text to capitals the kerning would be different in CS6/CC. When you place text in real capitals (Shift + text) the kerning is the same as in both InDesign versions.
    Text in CS4:
    As you can see: in CS4 there's no difference between real capitals en forced capitals.
    Below the results when opening the CS4 file in CS6/CC:
    I'm not sure if there are still people struggling with this problem, but hopefully was is this helpful.    

  • How do I print to a postscript file with InDesign CS6 without both extensions, .indd.ps?

    How do I print to a postscript file without an .indd extension in InDesign CS6? I choose Print, choose a print preset from my print shop and Save. The first time I tried it was blank (the Hide Extension was checked), so I tried to save and got a dialog box that said it cannot be saved as an .indd file (duh), to choose both or .ps. I chose .ps and it was fine, but every time I postscripted it gave me this dialog box until I unchecked Hide Extension. After I did that, every time I postscript it automatically saves both extensions. Not a big deal but it is annoying. I just want it to end with .ps like it used to. Any ideas on how to fix this?
    Thanks!!

    I have no idea but I am incredibly curious...why are you doing this?
    Printing to postscript is a completely archaic workflow. Export to PDF
    instead.

  • Help Viewer is an issue with InDesign CS6

    Would anyone happen to know if the Help Viewer is an issue with InDesign CS6? Even with a manual install the Help feature launches without issues the first time and won’t launch after the second time. This is the message we are receiving on Windows 7:
    “Help viewer is not installed check your internet connection and reinstall InDesign”

    Can you try the option mentioned in 2nd para of the reply, if you are connected to internet?
    You can try changing the preference "General Settings" > "Display Local Help content only" to "No" so that application launches the online help content.
    -Anup.
    YES! It does help.Thank you very much. I changed the setting yesterday but side tracked before I see the online content works. So in general scope, yes it takes me to the online help center, which gives me options for more "community" answers. So yes, thank you for making me look further.
    However, I really was a fan of the local help that looked like and felt like the user manuals produced by Adobe, not just blogs, and more message boards. So I am still partially dismayed that I take the time to download and update the local help files, but can't use them. And wish Adobe would just fix the problem, so I can have immediate access to user manuals without having to surf all over for answers. Perhaps this is a novice thought, but I liked reading it in manual formats provided by the amnufacture of the software.
    Thanks again though for the help and it will just have to get used to this method. UNLESS you can tell me good news of something else I am missing?

  • Can I replace InDesign CS6 with InDesign CS6 ME version?

    Can I replace InDesign CS6 with InDesign CS6 ME version? And does the ME version interface in English or Arabic?
    I have a translator who sends me InDesign files using the Sultan font, but when I open it, a lot of the font shows up as math symbols. I have the correct font installed, but I'm wondering if I need the additional features of the ME version of InDesign to make the type correct on my end.

    I don't believe my CS6 is from a Creative Cloud subscription. It was installed by my IT department, so I will ask them.
    When I receive the files from the translator, they send both an InDesign file and a PDF, so I can see it as they see it. However, the InDesign file looks like this:
    But the PDF file looks like this:
    They sent me the font file, so I'm assuming I have the right font and the issue is on my end. Or perhaps not?

  • Please help, InDesign CS6 (cloud) keeps crashing on OS 10.8.2

    It happens after I open a file and try do just about anything, modify a photo, add text, move an object, the most basic tasks on simple one-page documents. I've tried all the recommendations I can find including verifying fonts, deleting preferences, checking for updates, etc. and though I've tried all those things, InDesign still won't allow me to do anything. I've spent all day trying to troubleshoot and I have I'm desperate to get it working. I have two major deadlines. Any help you can provide would be extremely appreciated!

    My Windows 7 with InDesign CS6 crashed. I try to re-install, but it won't take my license key. What now?

    Ned, thanks for pointing me towards chat sessions.
    I am almost there now, thanks the chat advise.
    This is was Adobe tells me: You have a volume license serial number. You need to login to www.licensing.adobe.com website and download the software and you can activate the software without any issue.
    I did go there but came no further. Then Adobe said: I checked and see that your email address is not registered under the Licensing website. Please contact the administrator under whose email address the product was purchased to add you as a user and you will be able to login and download the product.
    So it is now in the hands of our IT guy who purchased this serial license
