Adobe awaits word from Apple on how to address InDesign on Leopard problems

Untitled 1 20071218 211247 Adobe awaits word from Apple on how to address InDesign on Leopard problemsIn a recent blog post, Adobe staffer Tim Cole let’s InDesign users know of three Leopard compatibility problems that Adobe’s engineers are currently working on.

Problem #1 is an issue hiding InDesign or other applications.

Problem #2 centers around copying and pasting vectors out of InDesign CS3 and into Illustrator CS3.

And then we have Problem #3…

The most serious issue is the Nav Svcs problem that can cause a crash when interacting with the file system via InDesign CS3′s Place, Export, Save, re-Linking etc. dialog boxes. This problem occurs far more often on PPC machines running Leopard. Some users experiencing these crashes have reported that trashing their InDesign Preferences temorarily removes the problem for them. Our testing has not confirmed that.

Cole leaves the post explaining that though all of these issues are confirmed, Adobe engineers “are having to wait on (Apple’s) engineering teams for information on the source of the problems and the ways they can be fixed.”

Apple gives 1G iPod shuffle owners a Reset Utility

I have a personal hate on for the iPod shuffle. I wish I’d never bought the loathsome thing. But that aside, if you have one and find the need to defibrillate its flashing green and amber lights, Apple has posted a handly little tool: the iPod shuffle Reset Utility 1.0

Use the iPod shuffle Reset Utility to fix the following issues:

  • With the iPod shuffle switched on, pressing the Play button will cause amber and green LEDs to flash for a few seconds, and the unit will not play any music, nor can you sync music to it from iTunes.

  • The unit will only be recognized in Apple System Profiler under Hardware -> USB and will not appear or mount in the Finder.
  • When attempting to restore, the unit may not be recognized at all. However, if it is recognized, the restore may fail with an error dialog “Firmware update failure. Disk write error” or another error. It may take 3 restore attempts before the error appears. Note: iPod shuffle may take several minutes to be recognized.
