Missing links CS5/Win 7

I replaced my XP PC and copied all documents, pictures etc on my new Windows 7 machine. My problem is that all of the InDesign CS5 files created previously now have missing links. Is there a work around or do I go through each document and solve the problem of the missing link, a link at the same time?

The packaging is certainly the best solution. Better yet would be packaging to a shared network drive or an external hard drive that can be put back on the new computer.  Better yet, if you have access to a network, both computers to network together and share a folder so that you can package directly to the new computer from the old computer.

The only other way I can think of to make sure that you do not lose the links is to make sure that the binding paths are completely identical from one computer to another, which is difficult when you switch operating systems. But I always recommend packing files, especially when you are finished with them. It encapsulates all your work files in a folder that contains everything you need to edit the file in the future - even if you move and have to re-bind the links.

  • Favorites bar photostream missing links to explore

    Nice day! I accidentally deleted icloud / photostream links in the "Favorites" in the Explorer section - and there is no way to recover them. I tried everything, even complete wipe iTunes and all the remaining registry entries, but no luck. I often use these links (well, have used - now, I don't have them) and it would be nice if someone could help me in my quest. Thank you!

    Good afternoon, zhker -.

    I understand that you are missing links to iCloud and photo stream on your computer Windows 10.   If you have not already done so, try to download iCloud for Windows to see if that solves the problem.

    Have a great day!

    Hello Predrag,

    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Forums.

    I understand that the problem with the upgrade of your Windows 7 computer to Windows 8.1 due to a hardware device driver. I would certainly like to help you with this.

    I would be grateful if you can provide us with the following information to help us better understand the issue.

    1. What is the brand and model of your computer?
    2. Do you have any QLogic device plugged into your computer?
    3. What is the accurate and complete error message you get on this driver?

    qlfcoei.sys. these files more often belongs to the QLogic FCoE Stor Miniport Driver from Inboxproduct. and are most often between QLogic Corporationcompany. These files usually have description QLogic FCoE Stor Miniport Driver from Inbox.

    I suggest to remove all unnecessary programs installed on your computer and run System File checker to check on any integration of file system and get automatically replaced by the correct file.

    The command sfc/scannow (System File Checker) analyses all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

    Follow the steps outlined in the article below to run the (SFC Scan) System File Checker tool. It will have to open the prompt as an administrator, the article below explains how to open the prompt as an administrator.

    Use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files.

    I received a file from another vendor, and they have a layer of dynamic object bound within the photoshop file that is missing.

    You do not get the missing link dialog box?

  • Library CC items disappear during the PDF conversion + missing links

    So, I 'OK' cela and shows me my paper and lo-and-behold, the missing link in sources are all displayed AND are all in my CC library for the project.

  • Remove the missing link of file-word (text) link

    I'm working on a former Indesign file that has the Word documents that are related to it. The links are missing, but the text takes the form of editable text so it has not lost.

    Can I copy and paste into a new text frame to solve the problem of the missing link.
    But it's a lot of work for a whole book. It would be perfect if I could break the link the Word of my frames of text file, but this option does not appear.

    I found 2-7 years old questions on the Adobe forums no useful response.

    Can someone help me with this?

    Thank you!

  • CS6: reports of the missing links, but when I check the links all is good

    Whenever I open this certain InDesign file, it says links are missing. But then I go to control panel links and utilities > search for missing links. No problem found. But then, when I go to package the file, I get the message of missing links again. Help please.

    Maybe something like a linked image in a .ai file related.

    Check upstream instead.

  • List of paths of missing link

    Bit hard to explain, but my goal is to make a script to essentially check the current open document for missing links and then retrieve the (former) paths for any list found there (so part of this path can be copy & pasted by the user into a tool of recovery of the Archives of works of ancient art)

    Perhaps you could paste in a list in a box on the editing table, or individual boxes of yellow next to each missing link, but I don't know how can I retrieve the path to use anywhere, it would be even possible?

    That's how i've got.

    If (link.status is LinkStatus.LINK_MISSING)

    If (link.status == LinkStatus.LINK_MISSING) {}

    Alert (link.filePath);

    }

    (this is to make a step forward)

  • Missing link on the PB

Any ideas? Is there a way to simply remove the picture in the window?

  • How to record down version Cloud Creative InDesign CS5? Exported as a file .idml but still the messages that plug-ins are missing, although CS5 confirms it is fully updated.

    How to record down version Cloud Creative InDesign CS5? Exported as a file .idml but still the messages that plug-ins are missing, although CS5 confirms it is fully updated.

    Yes. Thank you. I based on another post misled. Successfully done this by selecting 'File', 'save a copy... ". "then choosing"for CS4 or later (IDML).

    He had little patience and several tests, but I think it was because of hardware (memory) overloaded version CC cloud or something. It was a 50 MB, file of 500 pages and took 17 minutes to convert/save,

    Recap: dnuee to CS5, do not use "Export" (IDML); use ' Save as ' or 'Save a copy' and select "for CS4 or later (IDML).

    Advice much appreciated.

  • My indesign won't open 3 missing links

    I was open a file that was created before and there were a few missing links, about 16. I tried to recreate a link to them and it worked without any problems, except for the 3 files.

    When I try to recreate a link to these files (they are jpg and 1 pdf file) Indesign gives me the following error:

    Either the file does not exist, you may not, or the file may be in use by another application.



    I checked and it is not open somewhere else, the file exist and I checked the permission which seemed correct settings...

    Also tried to re-record the files under a different name, placed on my desk, made a copy. nothing has worked.

    If someone know a solution I would be very grateful!

    You can open images in an external editor?

    If they are jpeg or png or gif - save as tiff

    If they are tiff - save as psd

    If they are psd - save as tiff

    Or another file format let us know.

    Try to place the newly stored images then.
