Incorrect or corrupted images in all indesign files?

Good afternoon,

I am having problems with all my indesign files.

I work via a hard disk and macbook Pro 16-inch 2019

Last week I wanted to save an illustrator file on my hard disk, but unfortunately this didn't work. I also could not save indesign files on my hard disk. This can be done in a roundabout way: I can save them on my desktop and transfer them to my hard drive.

 

Now the following problem occur which is the baddest part of all:

I tried to open an indesign file from my hard drive and saw that all the images were corrupted. Well .. this can only be seen visually. See screenshot.

Screenshot 2022-05-09 at 17.19.30.png

 
It says the sources are linked and if I drag in the same images again the problem persists.
Now I have come to the conclusion that all indesign files ever created on my hard drive are like this!! Even the files from quite some time before that.
I have no clue how to solve this and have already tried many possibilities.

 

Thank you very much for thinking along.

Specifications hard disk and macbook in attachment.

 

Greetings,

Hi Uwe, 

 

I just got the answer in another topic. 

https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/indesign-won-t-recognize-png-files-can-t-quot-place-quot/m-p/12933117/page/2#M476549 

And it worked for me!

 

If you have the same problems see steps below:

 

Go into

> system preferences

> security and privacy

> Full disc access

> unlock the padlock (click and password)

> In the right-hand window scroll down to InDesign and click it.

> I also did photoshop and illustrator

> Clcik out of preferences 

> Docume

Well, you see me a bit clueless …

 

Hm. Ok. Switch between different view modes to enforce a screen redraw.

Additionally, perhaps restart your machine…

 

One spot you also could look at:

the recently enhanced feature UI Scaling in the Preferences.

Reset it to Small if that's not the case.

Great! Thanks a lot!

Never thought it could be a disc access issue for InDesign on MacOS.

 

Currently I'm not affected because I am working on Windows 10, but I'll be at a Mac by the end of next week.

 

Again: thank you very much,

Uwe Laubender
