When I place images in my indesign file, they show up with noise or black. I have checked the original files, and tried saving them as new files as well. My initial document also has placed images that are previewing correctly. However, post the 200dth page, they are showing up as black or with noise like they are corrupt. I have checked the original files. Please see below screenshot.

Hey guys! I had the same problem myself. I've found my fix! InDesign sometimes doesn't like the color profile that's attached to the original image. I threw the photo into Photoshop, saved it under a new name, and BOOM problem solved! I hope this helps someone else out there too!

What file type? Do you use EPS? Avoid it.

This works for me: place your graphic. It will look like it's invisible and it's empty. Go to "properties". Click on the first item in frame properties. I will try to attach a screenshot here.
