InDesign CS6 Margins and Columns don't show up

Hi everyone.

Since yesterday I have a problem in InDesign CS6.
I created margins and columns on my Master Pages, but they don't show in the documents pages...
My guides are activated, also my Baseline Grid and I can see them. (I now created guides, so I can work somehow, but I want to know what's the problem).
Is it a bug?
Can anyone help?

Thanks!

Here two pictures to clarify the situation:

Thanks you.
The Method with IDML unfortunately didn't work. Maybe I will try out the other option in the next days.


Try moving the pages to a new file.

I solved this by placing a random guide with the ruler, then boom, the margins magically appeared

    You pressed a quick key and turned off guides. Just go to view-grids & guides-show guides

      Actually that could be a big waste of time, especially depending on how big the document is. The best way to get them to show up is to pull a guide down from the ruler bar and your guides will show. Just a trick for when the software is not working correctly with showing guides.

          Adding this for someone in my situation -- turned out I was in Preview mode rather than Normal, so margins weren't showing and the pasteboard looked different (View > Screen Mode > Normal).

            Thanks, Kristen, for a simple answer to a perplexing problem.  I'm new to InDesign and it obviously has loads of little 'gotchas' as well as some bugs that can torment you until you have the experience.

              Try: View > Grid and Guides > Show Guides.

                That's activated already.
                As you can see on my screenshots, guides are shown. This doesn't help me to see my margins and columns.
                But thanks for your suggestion!

                  Is it possible you have something filling the background that would be obscuring the guides?
