I'm setting up the bleed on a set of InDesign CS5.5 documents. When I go to File: Document Setup: More Options, and set the bleed to .125 in, I don't see the little red bleed guide line outside my document outline. I've gone to InDesign: Preferences: Guides and Pasteboard, where I found there is an entry for the bleed guide. I can make guides just fine, I just can't get the bleed guide to show up on my pasteboard anymore.
All clues welcome.
Thanks.

You see other guides, but not the bleed guide?
Can you show us a screen shot?

Guide previews were turned off. I was able to turn them back on, and thus can now see the bleed guides.

Having the same problem. Where is the "guide previews" setting? What did you do to turn them back on? Anything special? thanx!

The show/hide guides commands have moved around a bit from versiontoe version, I think, but they shoud still be someplace in the View Menu whatever version you might have. They will not be visible, however, in Preview mode (the pasteboard will also disappear).

Let's start here:
Do you have the pasteboard area on (hit: w)
If it does not show, you may need to trash your preferences.

to show guides (bleed, margins) hit ctrl+ ; for windows (you could have mentioned that)

ID CC 2017 is creating this problem. My guides are not hidden, they simply are not showing.

This was helpful, however didn't solve my problem. I had to go to View > Screen Mode > Normal

I had this problem too; using the latest version ID CC 2018. I found that if my bleed AND slug were set to the same value, the guide color would show for the slug....therefore I thought my bleed lines(set to fiery red in my preferences) were not showing up. I changed the bleed amount..and magically my red bleed lines appeared
