File InDesign won't open / corrupt?

Hey,.

I worked on a catalog for awhile now, my indesign file was getting to about 300 MB - I had saved this file on an external hard drive that has melted and died recently, especially I can't open the master file on my PC, which is the only file that I have now. I open the file in indesign, and I noticed on PC, it will just freeze and show a loading ring where the mouse needs to be but I left it going for 5 hours and nothing, I manually stop in indesign, then open and then try to recover this file, it is also blocked at some point. On a Mac, there is a progress at least bar but it becomes around 80% and then crashes every time. I guessing these corrupt files somehow, or that a small part of it is prevents me from opening correctly. It is a project that is expected to soon and I literally don't have any work to show: S I tried repair of Stellar Phoenix indesign who just turn to 4 hours doing nothing but make my mac get really hot and am now totally off options, can all help me?

Best regards!

Hello

Please send your InDesign file to [email protected] and I'll take a look at the document.

If the file is larger than 10 MB, you can zip (and password protect) the file download on Cloud creative (or) Dropbox account and send us the link to the document.

Kind regards

  • My indesign won't open 3 missing links

    I was open a file that was created before and there were a few missing links, about 16. I tried to recreate a link to them and it worked without any problems, except for the 3 files.

    When I try to recreate a link to these files (they are jpg and 1 pdf file) Indesign gives me the following error:

    Either the file does not exist, you may not, or the file may be in use by another application.



    I checked and it is not open somewhere else, the file exist and I checked the permission which seemed correct settings...

    Also tried to re-record the files under a different name, placed on my desk, made a copy. nothing has worked.

    If someone know a solution I would be very grateful!

    You can open images in an external editor?

    If they are jpeg or png or gif - save as tiff

    If they are tiff - save as psd

    If they are psd - save as tiff

    Or another file format let us know.

    Try to place the newly stored images then.

  • InDesign won't open the file - says I'm not connected to Adobe c. cloud, but I am!

    Someone knows how to fix this?

    When I try to open the file, it tells me that I am not connected to creative cloud - which I am certainly.  And he tells me that I have to go to 'help' and then log in and restart adobe indesign.

    I am already connected to cloud creative adobe however.

    I did this several times - completely signed off, restart the computer, signature creative cloud etc,... no solution.

    Source files can be "locked" or open only by their original creator of Adobe ID?  I was sent these files by a good designer.  He did block them by chance?

    I don't even know if this is possible.  It is now a month of adventure in the jungle for long.

    Please help - I don't want to spend more hours trying to get these open files.

    Thank you for your community!

  • InDesign won't open; Remove preferences, uninstalled/reinstalled. Used to work properly.

    Hey all,.

    I use InDesign CC for some time and for some reason that I can't quite understand this suddenly stopped working, literally from one day to the next. I didn't install anything else, nor my computer passed through updates.


    I uninstalled InDesign, CC update to the latest version and reinstalled InDesign, and it still not open. I've deleted preferences and cache without result.

    I am on Windows 7 and when I look at my task manager after the application is closed, I see that it never closes completely. He's always sitting. This is getting very frustrating that I have a client project that I am currently unable to complete, and I am paying for InDesign CC and cannot use it.

    I would appreciate any insight. It's really driving me crazy.

    Thanks a lot for your time!

  • REVIEWS VITAL - my wmware fusion 3.13 FILES suddenly won't open my vm win7

    So, I'm on a mac running MAC OS X 10.6.8

    Everything worked very well today. There was a power failure (Ah-Ah) and when later, I turned on my computer - my hard drives seemed fine, but when I open VMWARE Fusion, it gave me an error trying to open my windows WM.

    So I don't think that I have all the backups, even if I have configured automatically snapshots - but the .vmwarevm file seems to be a mistake. I can 'display content packed' but I don't really know what to do. The data are an essential information, so I really hope someone can share information or tool, step by step on how I might be able to access my data.

    Please let me know as soon as POSSIBLE, if anyone knows what / if there is nothing I can do.

    I enclose my error log which includes tons of:

  • Cs6 InDesign does not open InDesign cs6 file? says he's got cs7... but it is not

    I'm working on a HUGE project for a few years (fault of customer, months between changes on their part) and I just got a huge amount of changes I want to start working. When I go to open the Indesign file, it won't open! I get the error 'cannot open 'file name.indd' because she has been saved with a newer version of Adobe InDesign (CS7.0). You must use this version or later to open the file. To then allow him to open up in this version, click Save as InDesign CS4 or later version, or exporting to IDML. »

    The thing is, I don't have CS7 or CC, I never have. Only worked on this file on a computer. When I click on the file in the Finder, it mentions it as CS6, just like older versions of the file (previous incarnations of the project, changes, etc.).

    What the heck! I'm on a Macbook Pro running Mavricks suite CS6 full, and everything was peachy until now. Absolutely not saving the file in CC or CS7 and is itself classified CS6 (in the finder info as I mentioned before)...

    Anyone has any ideas on this? I'd like to get operational and get this project going again.

    Help, please!

    Someone had CC (maybe a trial) and saved files... Still, it is said in the finder doesn't mean anything - the operating system knows only the latest version currently installed.

    First of all, a tip: try breaking manually links to the file by moving this document you want to open on your desktop or another directory or such and then try to open the... (corrupted image previews and/or images may then be largely elminated as a potential cause)

    As @Peter mentioned, we (Markzware - link here for how it works) can probably repair this file. Interesting notes of @jongware above. Without having seen this file, our research shows there are variety of reasons an InDesign file can head South and corrupt or crash on you. Just as a doctor cannot always say what has caused the problem, there are some basic steps that we should take. For example, OS updated, using the latest available update InDesign, enough disk space and disk for Adobe scartch space heavy design operations. Here is a list of some of the most common problems with bad INDD documents:

    * Corrupt police (or corrupt fonts (see below) caches

    * Corrupt or images

    * Power failure

    * Place images by drag - move a Web page

    * Working on a file, InDesign via a network or on a remote server

    Here is a video on how to approach caches of fonts with InDesign, which is good once and awhile, anyway:

    http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=Nf5ZuiaYgus

    To check the files of individual fonts (fonts are like mini apps really), we recommend FontExplorer XPro or Extensis Suitcase Fusion 4, the latest may be the more popular of the two.

    You can contact me on [email protected] if you need assistance with us trying to recover your file InDesign CS hurt more. We also have a PDF file to the conversion tool InDesign called PDF2DTP if you have a PDF file.

  • Why don't photoshop won't open the files on network server since upgrading to OS 10.10.5?

    We have four designers connected to a network server. All were able to open Adobe created files on the server with computers using OS 10.9.5. Two of us upgraded to 10.10.5 and now Photoshop and InDesign do not open files from the network server, or save files on the server - Illustrator and Acrobat will be. We can copy files from the server back to our offices. This sounds like a problem of permissions with Photoshop and InDesign, but do not know how to change. We use CC 2015 versions of the software.

    Hello

    Well, it seems to be the problem with permissions on the Mac.

    Please make sure that the network drive have full read and write permissions.
