Cannot click successfully to many tools/options in InDesign CS6

I am a member of creative cloud and I have a problem with InDesign CS6.  Outwardly, it seems to install fine, but when I start it up I can't click on a large number of options.  I can create a new document, and I can add a text box.  However, when I click to change all elements of the police, nothing happens.  It's like I'm not really clicking.  I am able to click and use the pen and text tool, but not the tool arrow travel.  Interestingly, if I use the hotkey (V), I am able to move arrow.  Also, I can see the pages palette, but I can't click on any aspect of it successfully.  Similarly, I can view the palette layers, but I can't click on the triangle next to layer 1 to open its contents.    I am convinced that it is not a problem with my mouse because I can always click on the type tool successfully, and also because all my other programs are functioning normally.

I am a frequent user of Illustrator CS6 and Photoshop CS6, which work perfectly.  I downloaded all updates for InDesign.  I use a PC with Windows 7 64 bit and 6 MB of RAM.

Thanks for any advice you can offer,-Kate

  • How to anchor the floating tools palette in InDesign CS6 for Mac? Normal way does not work

    In all my applications except InDesign CS6 (Mac) CS, I can anchor the Tools window alongside the main components content as any other window: drag it to the edge and just timely, it highlights where it will be anchored with a blue outline and docks when let you go.

    I can't find a way to do this in InDesign CS6 (Version 8.0, Mac), however. Unlike all the other windows, it never offers the possibility to berth, regardless of where I hang out. The only options in the toolbar without a vertical line, two lines and a horizontal line. I also looked in Preferences > Interface and the only options refer to the "floating toolbar" and give the same vertical line, two lines and a horizontal line options as the tool bar itself.

    I see no possibility to stop it floating. I tried on a variety of window > reorder parameters and with window > Framework Application both checked and unchecked, and nothing works. I do switch to position in a corner, but it is not dock and does not stop floating.

    It is not just the inconsistency and the nuisance of him sitting on top the documents and does not move with the rest of the window that is the problem: I'm on a Mac (Lion) and the floating toolbar breaks a normal function of the useful operating system. In all applications except InDesign, when I press F3, the current window shrinks down and I see all the other open windows, organized by application, with each application icon, floating on the top. In InDesign CS6, it is the tool floating bar, not in the main window, which is shrinking. The InDesign main window stays where he is, sat awkwardly between icons and my other windows, in the way of other windows - effectively making it impossible to use F3 to move to an other another window without having to InDesign.

    Here is a screenshot that I found online (it looks like the Windows of CS6 version?) where the toolbar is docked: no close icon, slots perfectly alongside aspects of content, not regarded as a separate window by the operating system.

    http://photos.pcpro.co.uk/images/front_picture_library_PC_Pro/dir_354/it_photo_177415_52.jpg

    I can't find Mac screenshots where it is moored - in most, it is awkwardly floating above the left rule.

    Its a strange bug, but I found a work around.
    If anchor you another pallet (info, layers etc...) to the left, you can anchor the toolbar on the left of this palette. You can then detach the pallet and the toolbar will remain anchored.

  • Strange behavior of startup and cannot access the tools-> options menu

    Since this morning my LV8 installation does not display the normal startup dialog box (allowing you to open the existing screws or open a new one), but doesn't that immediately opens a new VI.  If I close this new NC and then instead of back to the Startup dialog box it opens a second new (empty) VI.    Furthermore, I can't open the tools-> option menu from a façade of VI.

    I tried to repair the installation of the LV and when that does not work I went for a complete deletion and don't reinstall - still no joy!

    I also check that it is not user specific, so that when I login as a different user on the same PC, I get the same behavior

    Help - please!

    Hi AMHurrel,

    This seems quite strange.

    Have you changed anything on your installation?

    When you say you did a complete removal and reinstall, how?

    Here are the steps I follow:

    The following procedure removes the software Instrument National:

    1. turn off the computer and physically remove or disconnect all devices that you have installed on your system.
    This includes everything-PCI, ISA, USB, 1394-, or based on ethernet.

    2 turn on the computer and go through Add/Remove Programs (START"SETTINGS" control PANEL"Add/Remove Programs)
    and remove all OR related. As a general rule, if you remember, it is best to uninstall things in
    the reverse order in which they were installed. For example, if you installed LabVIEW, then NOR-DAQ, then the
    Internet developers Toolkit for LabVIEW, you must uninstall the Internet firstly, developers kit
    NOR-DAQ, then last LabVIEW.

    3. once everything has been deleted (don't be concerned at this stage if an item still appears in the)
    Ajouter/suppression of programs list after you remove it), close all programs and restart your computer.

    4. go to the START button in your operating system, choose RUN and type 'regedit '. This will open up the registry
    The Editor window. Go to the registry Menu and choose Export registry file. Select 'All' to the export range,
    and select a file name. This creates a backup of the registry in case a mistake is made when you remove the key.

    5. remove the following components of the registry in the Windows registry:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\National Instruments remove the entire tree!
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\National Instruments remove the entire tree!
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\PCI\ or \ISA and remove registry entries containing one
    keys with 1093 in them.
       
    Don't worry if one of these trees are not listed. Continue with the rest of the process.

    Note: You may need to change the security policies. In Windows 2000, 98, 95, NT, go to [regedt32] then
    Security > permissions. In Windows XP, you can change the security using Edit options > permissions in the
    Publisher of the registry (regedit).

    6. close regedit.

    7. make sure that you don't have your own screws or other files in the "C:\VXIpnp."
    "C:\Program NIUninstaller Instruments", or "C:\WINDOWS\nidaq" folders. If you do, copy them to a
    different location. If you are concerned about preserving old virtual tracks and your SCXI configuration.
    then save the file "C:\WINDOWS\niconfig.daq", too. Delete all folders and files mentioned above.

    Note: If you have Windows NT/2000, replace 'C:\Windows' with 'C:\WINNT' in the path listed above.

    8. save the attached file msiBlast.zip to your desktop.

    (a) extract the msiBlast.exe file from zip archive.
    (b) double click the downloaded msiBlast.exe file to run the executable.
    (c) choose the selection show only installers of NOR.

    (d) using select (Ctrl + left mouse click) of all National Instruments software that appears in MSIBlast.
    (e) press the button uninstall. This allows to uninstall all entries in register MSI of National Instruments.

    (f) Optional:
    The repair option will open the installer of National instruments and run the option fix in the installer.

    Maintenance mode will open the installer and allow the user to change the installation. To open the installation program indicate nothing in command line Arg? Dialog box.

    9. restart your computer.

    10. you should be ready to install your software. For the cleanest possible installation, first install all of your
    software application, such as LabVIEW, Measurement Studio development, etc. Perform a custom installation so that you can
    Install just the request WITHOUT DRIVERS EVERYTHING. Restart your PC after each installation request.
    Even if the installation program does not tell you to restart, it would probably be a good idea to do it anyway.
    Now install the software driver and follow the associated user manuals. Some older non-Plug-and-Play hardware
    must be installed before the pilot. Download the latest versions of the drivers that support your hardware
    She draws from our drivers and software updates (link below) and install them one by one, reset after each
    install.

    11. Lastly, stop and re - install your hardware. When you start back, he must be detected in MAX.

    I use Firefox for years, but I can't find a way to work around this problem. The problem started after I upgraded to v38.0.5 but I tried to go back to v35.0 and it has not solved the problem. I tried the safe mode and finally uninstalled, delete Mozilla registry entries and performed a clean installation. I am still unable to view the options.

    As soon as I click on Tools / Options menu I get an AppHangB1. Initially, the problem manifests itself by trying to add attachments in Gmail. A large part of the browser works, I write this problem in Firefox, but some actions cause the browser to hang. The easiest to reproduce is Tools / Options, the showshopper will not be able to upload / download files.

    I hope someone knows how I can get firefox to work again. I am running without the extensions, just a clean install.

    Hi, FredMcD advice is what you need: you can return to the old window Options by: Type Subject: config in the address bar, press ENTER, accept the warning, scroll to browser.preferences.inContent and double-click on it to change the "value" from true to False, taking care to not to change what anyone else. You will then need to restart Firefox.
