Adobe InDesign CC slow to initialise after machine restart

I am finding that InDesign CC is extremely slow to launch after I restart my iMac (takes around 2 minutes). Once it has been launched once it then launches far more quickly (around 20sec). If I log out then back in it still only takes around 20secs to launch. But as soon as I restart my machine the first launch takes around 2 minutes again.
I am assuming that InDesign is copying items to a temporary location (outside of my user space) that is getting reset at restart. My question is, is this a known behaviour, if so can it be got around (something like identifying the temporary files and copying them to the correct temporary location at login)?
System Details
iMac 3.06Ghz, 8Gb RAM, MacOS 10.9.4
Adobe InDesign CC (10.1.0.71)
Any input would be appreciated.

We were not able to get any crash reports - that option not available; the spinning wheel was coming on and off, but nothing would happen and nothing could be done, but re-start machines.
Have cleared prefs files since, this a few times. Based on suggestions found from others having the same problems.
After clearing prefs files, worked awhile , then the same happened.
Hope this helps.

  • New Adobe InDesign CC (2014) crashes continuously after installation, shows spinning wheel. Have re-installed 3 times now, same thing.

    We had to install the new InDesign CC (2014). InDesign CC (2014) crashes continuously. We have un-installed the app twice and re-installed again.
    We have tried to install the previous version of InDesign CC but that is no longer (conveniently for you, nightmare for us) available.
    Everytime we launch the new InDesign CC (2014) to actually do some work, this crashes. It has cost us 4 hours work since this morning!
    This seems to be an issue a lot of people are having.
    An update for any app should happen without any glitsches, otherwise your product is not fit for purpose.
    We are all paying monthly fees to Adobe to be able to do our day-to-day work.
    For that we expect to be able to use these tools without loosing time and money every time you are updating software.

  • Adobe Indesign and Photoshop CS3 Freezing after trying to save file

    Hi
    I was using both Indesign and Photoshop yesterday with no trouble. Out the blue whenever I tried to either save a file or generally use any of the functionality within the File menu the dialogue box quickly appears then fades and the software freezes. Its doing this in both Indesign and Photoshop.
    The IT department logged on using their administrator info and both packages appear to work fine it just seems to be once I log in using my user account.  We have tried reseting preferences etc.
    Any help or advice would be welcomed.
    Thanks

    You have a stored invalid folder reference and since it can't be restored, the apsp crash on file dialogs. Have your IT department sift through the registry and clean out the relevant MRU sections.

  • Oracle Database unavailable after machine restart

    I have a dedicated machine where I have installed Oracle Database 11.2.0.1.0 under Oracle Linux 6. It worked fine until today, when I had to shutdown the machine for physical relocation. Much to my surprise, when I have restarted the machine, EM wasn't available. Then I realized I could no longer remotely connect to the Database. Then I found out that the listener was down. Then I tried starting the listener, it said that no clients are supported. Then I tried to manually start the DB from sqlplus, I could not even log in to it. Then I ran dbca, which cried about EM not being secure. Then I found out that the emkey.ora was missing (and as a newbie, I hadn't made a backup).
    I spent 3 hours trying to figure out how to bring the DB online; I'm afraid I ran out of solutions. Right now I am rebuilding the whole EM Repository using dbca and hope for the best.
    Update: dbca finished with no errors. I can now connect with sqlplus and see that all data is there. However, EM still doesn't properly connect. I am getting "Enterprise Manager is not able to connect to the database instance". However, state of components lists:
    - Database Instance: Open
    - Listener status: UP
    - Agent connection to Instance: Succeeded
    I can't figure out why EM won't connect. I have this feeling it's a listener misconfiguration, however netca is very limited, just a next-next-next thing.
    My listener.ora is below:
    SID_LIST_LISTENER =
    (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
    (GLOBAL_DBNAME = eburlacu)
    (ORACLE_HOME = /oracledb/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1)
    (SID_NAME = eburlacu)
    LISTENER =
    (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = eburlacu-server.ro.oracle.com)(PORT = 1521))
    ADR_BASE_LISTENER = /oracledb
    SUBSCRIBE_FOR_NODE_DOWN_EVENT_LISTENER = OFF
    ...And why is EM using port 5500?
    LE: I can now remotely connect to the Database from a different machine, using Oracle SQL Developer, so the listener seems to be working well, after all. I'm confused now...
    Edited by: EduardB on Sep 28, 2012 3:24 PM

    Thank you for the response. It makes some sense, however I wouldn't have expected the Oracle DB to be so se sensitive to a simple machine move.
    The network configuration hasn't changed a bit. I am in the same network, I have the same IP (it's a static IP and a static DNS hostname which was granted to this machine specifically). I just changed floors.
    I never touched the EM environment. All I did was:
    1. Installed Oracle Database.
    2. Added a schema (basically created a new user).
    3. Allowed SQL Developer through the firewall.
    4. Remotely connected with SQL Developer and created tables and functions, all basic SQL work, nothing fancy.
    The restarts were simply for testing purposes (does it still start as expected? Are there warnings, error messages?). Two restarts were performed to re-arange some wiring, again nothing fancy.
    I am just a newbie doing some learning and gaining some hands-on experience (after taking Linux and SQL classes). The Oracle Database 11g Administration Workshops are scheduled for 2013 but in the meanwhile I am trying to understand why could my installation mess up so badly with no outside interaction.
    What would your advice be in this situation? Reinstall everything under OEL5 + 11.2.0.1.0? Reinstall OEL6 with clean 11.2.0.3.0 installation?
    Note: my first priority at this moment is hands-on experience with SQL. Since both sql*plus and Oracle SQL Developer can connect and work fine, should I simply stop bothering with EM for the moment and let it limp until I attend the Administration Workshops? I have almost half a million records in the DB but my SQL statements (saved on a different machine) can re-generate all the data in about 1h or so, so it's not a big deal if I wipe everything.

  • Adobe Reader IE plugin (11.0.04 - .06) is automatically deleted after first restart

    Hi all
    I have discovered a strange bug (as I like to call it). Since Adobe Reader version 11.0.04 (now we have 11.0.06) there is problem with IE plugin.
    When I install it - everything is working and from IE I can succesfully open pdf files. But when I restart computer after Adobe Reader installation, all plugin files are missing (like they are automatically deleted) from C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX folder. And ofcourse IE plugin is not working any more.
    Workaround is when AFTER first computer restart I manually copy all plugin files to that folder or repair Adobe Reader installation - then files are not being deleted any more. As I said, it is very strange problem.
    However this workaround is not acceptable to me because I have lots of computers where I need this software to be installed.
    Have anybody seen this problem and know how to fix this? Other browser (firefox, chrome) plugins are working correctly after fist restart. This problem is with Windows 8.1 / IE11 and Windows 7 / IE9
    In Adobe Reader version 11.0.03 everything is working and after first restart plugin is not being automatically deleted.

    Hi
    No, it's not an antivirus software, because same thing happens in clean windows 7 system (without any antivirus or other specific software). And like I said, it started with version 11.0.04 - earlier versions are OK.
    Also not only IE plugin files are gone after first restart but also Adobe Reader shortcut in Start Menu. Adobe Reader itself is working.
    After first restart and repairing Adobe Reader installation - these files are not being deleted any more. It is not helping if I do repair after installation and before first restart. The thing is, only first restart after installation always deletes these files.
    I looked everywhere in Windows (registry, startup, scheduled tasks) where might be some clue what is deleteing these files - didn't find anything.

  • Adobe Indesign & Illustrator CS6 will not open files off server after Mac Maverick update.

    I updated to Mac OS X Maverick and all the sudden my InDesign and Illustrator will not open files off of my works network.  I read somewhere about installing the new Java update may help fix it, but I tried it and it did not. I have restarted my computer and reset the connection to the server multiple times, but it does nothing.
    The exact message I get is:  "Cannot open the files "xxxx.indd" Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file may be missing, or the file may be open in another application"  I know for a fact that it is not open in another application so it is not that. I have tried multiple files on the server as well.
    For Illustrator, I try to open a file from the server and it just freezes and does not respond so I have to force quit.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? Please help!

    If you had asked before you did this I would have told you not to move to Mavericks unless you were prepared for problems. I’m not a proponent of upgrade installations for operating systems and there’s no way to eliminate that as the cause.
    That said, before you start erasing the whole machine, try uninstalling CS6 and then reinstalling it. You might want to run the cleaner tool after the uninstallation.

    After Updating Adobe Indesign CC ,While I'm selecting text in a paragraph, the text disappears and this problem repeated several times before update everything was ok

    First, see Replace Your Preferences and do it for the original account.
    If that fails to solve the problem, rename the two Adobe folders that contain the prefs in the user profile for that account and copy the folders from the new account where it works. You want to be sure you copy the folders, rather than merge the contents, so you must rename the old folders first.

  • How do you obtain a previous version of Adobe InDesign after purchasing the latest version?

    If I purchase the full version of the latest Adobe InDesign software (currently version CS6), how do I obtain a copy of a previous version of InDesign (such as version CS5)?
    I need to be able to generate CS5 INDD files for the completion of a project, but I don't believe this is possible unless I have CS5 installed.
    I am aware that I can save to an IDML file in InDesign CS6 which can be opened in a previous version of Adobe InDesign, but the requirements of the project require INDD files that can be opened in CS5.

    Thanks again Jeff, I really appreciate it.

  • Adobe Story super slow after last update - PC & Mac

    Hi,
    Adobe Story has become very unresponsive after the last update. I've found this on my Macbook Pro and my work PC which has 24GB of RAM. In fact, I can barely surf the web on my Macbook Pro if Story is open now. It generally takes about 5 seconds for Story to respond when I type, change between applications, and scroll up or down.
    I know this was an issue with a release in 2011. Has something similar happened again?
    Francois

    I have tried both online and offline. Makes no difference. I think it’s actually becoming worse. Strange that it affects both my Mac at home and my PC at work. When I ran it on Mac last night, Story was using nearly all 4GB of my RAM.
    Connect isn’t good for me this week. I’ll see if the problem persists and contact you next week.

  • Could use of an unlicensed font empty out an Adobe InDesign file?

    Has anyone ever encountered a situation where the use of an unlicensed font caused an Adobe InDesign CS3-created file to suddenly go empty after a couple of months? Whey I say "empty", I mean that the entire data fork is blank, only leaving the resource fork around. Thanks in advance.

    No, it's not the backup system. This particular network was set up to use the portable home directory syncing system to sync all data to a server and only the server gets backed up. *BUT* the sync system was set to "manual" because automatic syncs were slowing the machine down. And the user had not been manually syncing for a couple of weeks. Also, a CD she burned within two hours of creating some of the Adobe files *ALSO* exhibited the same problem (empty data fork, leaving a small resource fork).
    As far as I know MacOS doesn't natively allow files to be manipulated like that. Hence the mystery that I'm trying to solve.

  • You can't open the application "Adobe InDesign CS4" because it is not supported on this architecture"

    A day or two ago I went through installing Adobe InDesign CS4 on Leopard OS X.5.8.  After what appears to be a successful installati
    on, in launching InDesign CS4 the message " You can't open the application "Adobe InDesign CS4" because it is not supported on this
    architecture" comes up".  Calling in to support and speaking with the agent who read through previous posts, suggested to me that I
    should try the same fix that has been suggested when I ran across an error when installing Adobe InDesign CS4 on another separate ha
    rd drive externally connected to this computer running Snow Leopard OS X.6.1 for the error reading: "Damaged &/or incomplete install
    ation" when launching afterwards.  The support technician told me to first delete with the uninstall Adobe InDesign CS4, InDesign.
    Following this I am told to run the CS4 Cleanup Utility.  I restart the computer each and every time after running each of the utili
    ties.  Now I am told to install InDesign as a trial version from the DVD and after installation to go ahead & enter the serial numbe
    r.  When launching InDesign CS4 after installation got back the same error as before: "You can't open the application "Adobe InDesig
    n CS4" because it is not supported on this architecture" comes up".  Followed KB404711 article and no success.  What else can be don
    e to fix this issue?
    This morning contacted Adobe Support regarding this response:
    After having a detailed reserach on your issue i acme to the conclusion
    that the problem you are having is not related to Adobe software but its
    in fact related to your MAC version ( OSX-5.8). While reseraching your
    issue i came across
    to many forums where a lot of postings were about the similar error but
    with different products the only comon thing was all the Errors were
    with Mac machine , also when you check the system requirements  for
    Adobe Indesign Cs4
    by going to the following link
    http://www.adobe.com/products/indesign/systemreqs/?promoid=DRHXE  you
    will find the Mac OS version supported are from Mac OS X
    v10.4.11–10.5.4. but we do support Snow Leoprad , so i would like
    to advise to you to either contact your system manufacturer or upgrade
    to Snow Leopard ( mac os x 10.6)
    I have been told that my case is being sent to Level 2 agents and that it can take 24-48 hours for a response.  In the meantime I decided to see what the Support Forums can do for me.  Until then I am down.  Thanks for the help.

    In the application folder there is a folder 'Adobe InDesign CS4' within which there is just the application file. I would expect there should be more file there??
    I've un-installed and installed again - still the same.
    Even downloaded the dmg again and done thwe whole thing over again.

  • Adobe InDesign CS5 Has Stopped Working (installation issue)

    Please allow me to preface this by saying that this situation is RESOLVED, but I wish to share what happened to me with others for information purposes as I couldn't find anything regarding this issue online last night (mind, I was quite exhausted so might have missed it).
    The situation:
    I have CS5 Master Collection Upgrade.  I performed the installation.  All apps working just fine EXCEPT Adobe InDesign (see error in title).
    Beating of head against the wall continues for five hours as I uninstall, use cleaner, defrag, reinstall (you know the routine) SEVERAL times (why I thought doing it just once more might make a difference is beyond me).  I knew this install should work because I was using the entire CS5 suite only a few days ago until my system suffered a serious failure and require reformatting, reinstalling etc.
    So... after a couple of hours on the phone with Adobe tech support (an almost first for me in about 15 years or so of using Adobe products), it was discovered that InDesign's plugin directory was corrupt (rather, one or more files were laid down corrupt).  Uninstalling and using the cleaner DOES NOT remove the temp/backup files.  I knew something was up when I reinstalled the upgrade and it did not ask for my CS4 code (even after using a M$ reg cleaner), and this confirms it.
    Also I noticed that InDesign is being laid down during the transition from Disc 1 to Disc 2.  A colleague of mine had an odd issue with his PC not accepting Disc 2 at first (a few weeks ago).  I can only conclude that for some people, and some installations (because my first installation was flawless), InDesign will lay down its plugins corrupt.
    As I said, this is resolved now (I copied over the plugin directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS5\Plug-Ins) from my colleague's PC where InDesign was working fine), but I wanted to share in case this spares someone else the pain and suffering I just experienced.
    The irony, of course, is I'm under deadline and of all the programs right now, I needed InDesign the most!  LOL.
    Cheers, everyone.
    Alex

    I am operating in Windows Vista.  The last time I used the program it was responding normal and it closed out normally.
    I haven't added any fonts and have cleaned out my recovery folder and it is still doing it.
    My machine froze yesterday morning and I had to do a hard reboot, but I was not working in ID at the time and it wasn't open.  Everything else is working normally.  Even though I knew it wouldn't work, I did uninstall and reinstall the program and of course that didn't solve anything.
    Any other advice is appreciated.  I am at a loss.

  • Adobe Flash Player 11 NOT working after several attempts to download, uninstall, & reinstall

    I have problems with Adobe Flash Player 11 NOT working after several attempts to download, then uninstall, & re-install. 
    I uninstalled the previous versions of Adobe Flash Player from my computer PRIOR to attempting to install the new 11 version, so now I'm unable to view videos, etc., 
    I'm using Windows Vista 32 bit, Internet Explorer 9.0 (which I closed when I got error messages during Adobe Flash Player 11 Installation.  I've  disabled my AVG -Virus also during the installation of Flash Player 11.   
    FYI, I'm not computer savvy so the YouTube video by Adobe Tech was too complicated to follow AND I'm unable to view  (DUH!) it since I have no Flash Player program installed (doesn't make sense!) .
    Thanks for keeping it simple (KISS for me).

    I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling some 30 times now ..rebooting, you name it.
    I haven't been able to use flash since Adobe kindly shoved that latest update down my computer's throat.
    Right after getting the 'successful' installation message I restart IE9 ..go to my channel on youtube and immediately get the message:
    The Adobe Flash Player is required for video playback.
    Get the latest Flash Player
    I tried Chrome and on two or three it worked but then even after closing out of them ..Chrome slowed down to a crawl and finally informed me that Flash had stopped working.
    This has entirely wasted 3 nights of my time. It is 2:30 am and I should have had at least 2hours sleep already to rise at 6:30 but no, thanks this I'm still up and no doubt millions of other computer users are having just as much fun.. Everyone I know that allowed the updates to install ..is having the same problem ..Chrome/IE9/Firefox ...you can truly call it Adobe's Universal Cluster ...
    I live with Adobe. At work we have 6 fully Adobied LR4/CS5 & 6/InDesign workstations. I'm a photographer using nothing but Adobe products and quite frankly I feel this is the worst treatment you have ever given your customers.
    Please stop the CYA and just fix the damm thing! I realize you didn't write it Chris but surely you can get Adobe management to address this instead of just trying to get their users to try and debug it for the airheads that released it. Has anyone stopped to consider the financial damage being done due to videos not playing the ads that support the sites and no doubt stream revenue to Adobe? These guys have rolled the online experience back 5 years minimum and Adobe will probably pay the price for it. Re-issue a working version and go back to the drawing board!

    I don't have a server at hand right now ( that machine is busy with an OSX install, on a different partition ) but you could start by looking for any Adobe document that even mentions VC++ 2008.
    In other words, at least for the desktop version of CS4 the oficial compiler is the VC 2005 SP1 .
    Express should be no problem, I use it myself: "VS80sp1-KB926748-X86-INTL.exe"
    You'll also need the matching Windows SDK. Watch out for something labeled "5.2.3790.2075.51.PlatformSDK_Svr2003R2_rtm.dmg"
    Hth,
    Dirk
    Afterthought: funny that this thread always pops up when my experimental machine is busy ;-)

  • Adobe DPS: unable to load media after video montage.

    Hi there,
    I am currently using Adobe Indesign CS6 with the latest update of the Folio panel and work on a digital magazine in which I imported some videos in different extensions (*.mov and *.mp4).
    Everything worked fine on iPad, but everytime I make a video montage using Adobe Premiere Pro CS6, a message error "Unable to load media. Please check your internet connection or try again later" appeared on my iPad screen.
    I exported my media from Adobe Premiere in *.mp4 using H.264 codecs for Apple TV/iPad/iPhone, dimension 1280 x 720 and also tried with 1024 x 768, but that didn't work.
    Then, I imported my original videos without any montage making on DPS, they work fine. One of the original video has an extension *.mov and the other one *.mp4.
    I followed the steps that I read on DPS forums by some users facing the same issue, but that didn't make good results.
    So, is there anything I have missed in Adobe premiere Pro CS6 as after making video montage, my iPad always displays the message error?  and why each time I use the same two videos without passing through Adobe Premiere, I can play the video without trouble?

    I tried both softwares Handbreake and Adobe Media Encoder CS6 to render my final editing but it always failed.
    However, I restarted my whole video project using a free easy-to-use video editing software I downloaded from the internet, now it works fine on ipad with *.mov extension.
    By the way, Adobe Indesign does not support *.m4v.
    Anyway, I will go on trying to figure out what's the flaw in Adobe Premiere Pro.
    Thanks anyway _Felipe!
