Launch Indesign CS5 and pinwheel Mac appears as a bodyguard of spinning

I read in previous posts as much as possible in the hope of finding someone with the same problem I have but not luck. Here is the problem.

My Indesign CS5 launch, but just after I try to open a new or existing document Mac spinning wheel appears and I can't do anything in Indesign then. I have to Force quit to exit Indesign. I have a new MacBook Pro 17 "laptop with Mac OSX v.10.6.3. I ran the doctor of the police through all my fonts, and I tried to uninstall and reinstall the full CS5 suite 3 times already and also screw up my doc prefs several times. I'm not having the same problems with Illlustrator CS5 or Photoshop. Can anyone help please. If it helps I can post the crash report. Thanks Dean

Hey people

I think I just find a solution to this on another forum entry. The problem you describe sounds like I got exactly the same problem and it was solved by following these tips posted by "Lipstickdesign":

Hello!

One of my colleagues helped me with that. I tried Adobe support, but when they find out, I heard nothing more from them. At work, one of my colleagues knows this kind of computer/Mac-Fixer. His first proposal was to remove all plugins and try to install them again - one by one. I discovered that the plugin for character Chinese/Japanese/Korean called SING. InDesignPlugin caused my problem. I just removed this from my Plugins/text file and InDesign CS5 has worked well.

I hope it will work for you too!

This has indeed worked for me, so I hope this helps with you people too

See you soon

  • InDesign cs5 and photoshop cs5 preferences installed as one.

    I have Indesign cs5 and adobe photoshop cs5 extended installed in my copmputer. I see these two programs as the most important applications installed in my computer. I'm just wondering that perhaps some of the Indesign cs5 and photoshop cs5 preferences are the same. I think that these files are the reason why both applications are very large.

    For example the Adobe Bridge cs5, I think that Adobe Bridge is installed twice in my computer. One and the installation of Indesign from Photoshop.

    I just want to know if there is a way to install both applications have their preferences, installed once and both applications could use them. I think only in this way that I can put a free space in my hard drive. Any help would be appreciated.

    You can not save space on your hard drive by combining portions of these programs don't.

    Their "preferences" occupy a very small fraction of the space used by these programs.

    In addition, they already have a wide range of common (shared) files that are used by the two programs that are installed outside the directories of the program for each program.

    On Windows, this is C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe. For Mac, / Library/Application Support/Adobe.

    But none.

    Besides, hard drives are incredibly cheap. If you are worried about the size of these programs, you're doing something wrong and you won't be able to use them effectively in any case. In particular, the effective use of photoshop needs many times plus size program in free space.

    It's probably time to go out and buy several hundred GB (or some TOS) space.

  • InDesign CS5 and CS5.5 crash on new document / Lion 10.7

    Hello!

    In our agency, we encountered a problem since update to OS X 10.7 Lion. Our Indesign CS5 and CS5.5 keep if crush on we whetver we open an existing document or create a new. We tried to clean up our facilities, removed both, installed just CS5 and / CS5.5 - trashed preferences etc pp. Nothing has worked.

    InDesign opens as it should-, but at the moment where we have to create a document, what it crashes just with the ball of spinning - someone else can recreate the issue? We use some plugins in indesign only the app "Fontcase" since the Appstore to maintain our collection of fonts... but we even tried to disable this app to see if it can help - without success.

    We currently cannot configure your new system because it is a lot of time and just our last choice... is there another way to find the problem? We also never see the adobe crash reporter... not even after 10-15 minutes as stated in the OS x lion question list.

    Thank you!

  • InDesign CS5 and CS6 scripts changes/incompatibilities

    I'm new to scripting InDesign and need to write a JavaScript very complex for InDesign using the Toolbox. My concerns are if CS5/5.5 users will be able to run the script written for CS6. He knows incompatibilities with different versions? If Yes, where can I find a document to compare the differences. I will probably need support the CS5 and CS6 (and anything in between), so a possible solution would be to build for CS5, but if I do, will I'm missing out on all the new key features of CS6?

    There are differences of 1 DOM version to another and they can and will break your script, if you have not designed to handle. For example:

    If you want to use script like me labels (because they are awesome) the following will break if you use CS5 or later:

    app.activeDocument.pageItems.item("myLabel").remove();
    

    So, you have to force the DOM to V6.0. But when you do so be sure to come back to the original version after you're done or you can create more problems. This can be done like this:

    app.scriptPreferences.version = 6.0; // CS4's DOM version
    app.activeDocument.pageItems.item("myLabel").remove();
    app.scriptPreferences.version = 10.2; // Current CC DOM version
    

    It is very annoying (for me at least), so I wrap functions that require DOM changes with a customized version changer to handle this for me. Regarding the list of incompatibilities? Not sure, maybe someone here has one, I know that jongware has a website with all the DOM password 1 version to another. This can be found here:

  • inDesign CS5 and CS6 inCopy workflow problem

    I looked further discussions and did not answer the question to our problem.

    We are a small publishing company and we have the license for about 7 inDesign CS5 best we bought a year ago.  We have contracts with external publishers to change content for us using inCopy.  Last year, there is no problem.  But any new Editor under contract we sign today, which in turn buys inCopy, we have problems with our talk with one of the other files.  All new editors under contract are able to purchase inCopy CS6.  This leaves us with the problem of having to inDesign CS5 on about 7 or so of our used machines and 6-8 CS 5.5 InCopy on outside contracted publishers and another 3-4 editors under contracts with inCopy CS6.  When publishers with inCopy CS6 try to open our InDesign CS5 files, either they will not open at all, or they will open, the editor working on the project for a while, their program crashes and they aren't able to recover (reopening) the files again.  Which translates into lost hours at work.

    Has anyone encountered this problem?  Is there a work around or a quick fix.  We hate having to upgrade to CS6 for all our copies in InDesign home and then ask our external publishers have inCopy cs5.5 upgrade to CS6.

    If this is the case, when CS7 comes out and we are hiring more outside editors, we must continually go through the process of upgrading again?  It is too expensive to use and our existing contract publishers.

    All thoughts are a help would be appreciated.

    It is one of the error messages from a Publisher under external contract using inCopy CS6.  The file crashed after several hours of work, when the Publisher went to reopen the case, they have received this error.  Which seems to be a generic error code that does not tell us anything.

    Hello Rufus,

    Unfortunately the different versions of InDesign and InCopy work well with each other. More recent versions of the program should be able to open to older files, but they can't save backward. I don't know what the cause of errors with newer versions of InCopy however.

    You are able to open the InCopy CS6 files on your computers?

  • InDesign CS5 and missed CS5.5 INX

    If can not able to remove the color swatchs time to export, to inx and open it in the text editor and find the value of the color and just delete it in Indesign CS3.,.

    But we missed inx in CS5 and CS5.5, Hope everybudy know. INX is replaced with IDML,

    If we are faced with the question above in case how can be solved.

    If it is just to remove the shades of color that you can not get rid of any other way it is a way more fast that might work.

    1. Realization of an object that uses the shade.
    2. Cut this object to a new InDesign document.
    3. Save and close the new document.
    4. Place the new document in the original document.
    5. Delete it.
    6. You should be able to now remove the shade.

    It took me longer to type what it should be!

  • InDesign CS5 and CS5.5 compatibility?

    Hi all

    Can help you... Do you know if Indesign and Illustrator CS5.5 files are compatible with CS5?

    We have Creative Suite Design Premium CS4 on one computer and CS5 on the other machine - it's a nightmare because things designed on CS5 machines cannot be opened on the other machine without major headaches. I so need to upgrade machine CS4 CS5, Adobe went and highlighted the CS5.5... except that and so it is now prove difficult to obtain a CS4 CS5 update.

    As a result, what will happen if I CS5.5 on a machine and CS5 on the other? We still have compatibility issues?

    Thanks for any help.

    All I'm saying is that it is better to have all the machines on the same version.

    That said, if you can get them all about CS4, CS5 or CS5.5 - a version not cross breed files if you share them with your colleagues.

    It makes sense of why files are not compatible between different versions

  • InDesign CS5 and El Capitan - cannot open library

    For the most part, CS5 works, even if on occasion, the text disappears in boxes, then reappears. The biggest problem is that I can get back is no longer my library.

    Double-click on will not open it.

    Someone at - he found a solution? I use especially CC, but I still have a small group of customers who work in earlier versions, and IDML can not work up to CS4.

    TIA

    CS5 is too old to run El Capitan with reliability. A lot of problems with the installation or the problems you have encountered. Of course, he will never be updated.
