InDesign CC very slow!

Since I installed InDesign CC it works very slow. It's impossible to work on a project because it needs a long time to refresh the page, load the fonts, select a text...
Instead InDesign CC works great as always.
I have a MacPro 64 GB RAM 2x512 GB SSD 2x2.4 GHz 6 core Inter Xenon... so it's unacceptable that the new release works so bad
Has anyone a solution?

I had the same problem with Macbook pro retina
But after i updated the Indesign Cc to 7.1 its worked very smoothly and much much better
Try then let us know
Good luck

Help! My CS6 InDesign is very slow!

Second, what are the system specifications?

My indesign is very slow in copy and pasting

Hy to all,
i work with indesign CS3 on MAC with OS 10.6.4.
I have some ai-Files in Textlines. If i copy and paste them to other Textframes it is very very slow and the spinning weel is showing.
I know that i don´t have these problems on OS 10.5.8, so maybe it is a problem in my new system.
Did someone could tell me, how i can fix this problem?

CS6 indesign & illustrator very slow in processing

since i installed CS6, both illustrator and indesign work extremely slow when moving objects, fonts etc.
the documents are not big, just one spread full of text and the programm takes too long to process the action.
working in CS5.5 was always fine but CS6 is just so slow that work has become difficult.
i didn't change anything in fontexplorer nor did i change anything with my RAM.
and idea what i can do to make CS6 work better and more efficient?
thanks!

The amount of RAM a MacBook can use is determined by which MacBook it is.
1,1 (Early 2006) can handle 2gb of 667mhz PC2-5300 RAM

InDesign CS4 very slow on a Mac

Hello!
I'm using ID CS4 on an iMac with 2,4 GHz Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM. I'm writing my thesis in InDesign, so I have basically one big textframe per chapter in which all the text goes. My problem is, that InDesign is getting really slow when I type text, also in the story editor. There is a delay of around 3 seconds between typing and the appearance of the word in the document. During this delay, the CPU usage raises to almost 100 percent. I circumvent this problem by writing in a plain text editor and C&P it into InDesign, but since I have to make corrections here and there, it really drives me nuts.
Are there any means of speeding this up?
Thank You very much!

Peter:
I have tried and tried to post on the forums again. Signed in with 2 different names (don't ask!) and still can't get a new topic button. Here is my issue:
I have a large scale file (several) that I'm working with. It is 60" x 210". The file made in ID is fine, but I am having a hard time making a proofing PDF. Tried Distilling, directly from the app (export), and making them into eps and opening them in Acrobat to create a 4 page file. All ways cropped the files.
Do you by chance have a tip??? Please?!!
And I figured out my loading of the application problem. It was so strange and many steps:
1. Install software
2. If you get a "licesnse expired" notice the...
3. Change the date on your computer to Dec. 20, 2008 (it's stated differently in the Adobe info, but the phone support stated this date).
4. Launch the app or any of the CS apps if you've loaded more.
5. Go to HELP> Deactivate>Erase my serial number.
6. Close the program.
7. Open each application.
7. Change the date back to today's date on your computer.
8. The products should all launch correctly!

Indesign CS6 Very slow - cross-references?

Dear All,
I have been struggeling with this for over 2 days now..
I've treid the following solutions on the Adobe website
http://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/slow-performance-indesign-cs5.html
and http://indesignsecrets.com/why-is-indesign-soooo-slow.php
It does not seem to work.
My document is around 40 pages, with some images (around 20), but it has a lot of cross references to a table in the same document.
I have untreaded a lot of information. Currently only 10 pages maximum is threaded.
My pc has 8 gb ram, 2.5 Ghz and around 40 GB free HD space.
I think it might be my cross references, but I don't know how to fix it..
I don't want it to be removed out of the table (because i need my references sorted on alhabatical order).
Hope you guys can help
Thanks,
Daan

@Daan – I do not much with cross references, but several users here and in other forums report performance issues when working with cross references.
There is a 3rd party solution by DTP Tools:

You could test a trial version.

Indesign CS6 very slow with vectors. please Help!

We updated to CS6 from CS5.5 to a Mac Pro running OS 10.6. Processors are 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon. Ram is 10 GB 800 MHz DDR2. Video card is ATI Radeon HD 2600 256 MB. One Cinema Display and a smaller Samsung monitor.
The performance of InDesign when handling groups of vector files created inside InDesign is horrible. For example, I took a little 3 x 3px square and created a grid of 60 squares approx. When I select all of them (pure vectors) and try to move them it takes InDesign 10 seconds to respond to the selection first, and then 10 more seconds to move them.
Another example, I created a very simple graph, pure vector of course, with a moderate number of text and lines and when I select the whole thing the lag comes again, takes a lot to mark the selection and then is very hard to move it.
We have tweaked InDesign preferences (Interface, File Handling) as much as we could but the issue remains. We didn't have any problems with 5.5.
Help please!

had to install mountain lion and now everything works smoothly

Indesign CS4 Very Slow - can move objects easily anymore!

We are running CS4 - Even the most simple files are difficult open. When opened, it is hard to move objects or type any characters. All we get is the Apple pinwheel. We are running OS x 10.5 with 4 GB of memory. We dont know what to do-please advise.

I use CS4, mostly InDesign and Photoshop. I recently upgraded my iMac from 1 GB to 3GB of RAM, and everything was awesomely fast. CS4 worked well. Then I updated my system from 10.6.1 to 10.6.2, and immediately both InDesign & Photoshop developed a pause approx. every 5 seconds. No matter what I’m doing within either program, no matter how large or small the file, no matter how many or few applications I have open, I still get the very same beachball-spinning pause with every little thing I try to do, always. It’s very frustrating, I am having a lot of trouble getting any work done. The performance is way worse with 3 GB RAM than it was with just 1!
I am not having this problem with the rest of my applications within my system, such as Mail and Safari, and I haven't really noticed it with Acrobat. It does seem that the update caused this with CS4. I've tried a couple of things, such as zapping the PRAM and closing a bunch of fonts but nothing has made the slightest difference.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Cissy

InDesign 5.5 scrolling very slow on Macbook Pro

Hi,
I am using InDesign CS 5.5 (7.5.3) on a Macbook Pro - 2.4 Ghz Intel Core i7 w/ 8GB Ram and a 250GB SSD and AMD Radeon HD 6770M graphic card - and it's incredibly slow when scrolling up and down in a document. Admittedly that document has lots of big tifs embedded but still it feels very slow and often hangs on the spinning wheel. I've tried a helper app to switch the graphic cards and have also turned preflight off and set live screen drawing to delayed after reading some threads on here. It's especially bad when I come from another application but doesn't seem to make a difference how many other apps are open. Is this normal? Does anyone have any ideas how to improve performance?
Thanks
Maak

What about the display perfomance ?
Go to View-->Diaply performance, set it to Fast or Typical.
Here are few link that could help :-

InDesign CC 2014 very slow performance when dragging images and changing text

InDesign CC 2014 very slow performance when dragging images and changing text.
Running on 2010 Macpro 2.4GHz. 8GB RAM. Any solutions? I've read through many forums on this and tried several fixes.

Have exact same issue on my Windows 7 machine. Resetting preferences is a workaround.
So I start InDesign whilst holding down these keys.
Ctrl + Alt + Shift (Windows) or Cmd + Ctrl + Opt + Shift (Mac)
Whilst inDesign is usable again with this fix- I have to do it every time so it trashes all my preferences so NOT GOOD long term fix. Otherwise InDesign freezes and can only be stopped by forcing a quit.
I have manually deleted the preference files and I have created a brand new admin account - but still no luck - will be onto support tomorrow

Indesign image display is very slow and jerky

good morning
I contacted Adobe Customer Service in Italy because I have big problems with the Creative Suite CS 5.5, in particular with Indesign and in general with the display of images of AI and Acrobat.
As I work with Indesign image display is very slow and jerky. Even with AI and Acrobat work experience is not good, the images are jerky and there are hesitations in the fluidity of view.
The software is installed on windows 7 64bit Utlimate, the workstation is very powerful: Supermicro motherboard, dual Xeon E5620 2.4ghz, 16gb ram, SSD OCZ vertex4, PNY Nvidia Quadro 4000.
The customer service has sent me several tips for email, I have followed all the instructions but I did not get results. In conclusion, when I pointed out that reading on the forums I was not the only one who showed this problem and after discussing about my hardware configuration, they told me that the problem is probably due to the fact that I have two Xeon processors!
In efects had observed that CS 5.5 on my notebook works better, but I never thought about having problems because the PC is powerful. I checked the CPU and GPU when using Indesign and I could see that uses a single CPU, and most "only 1 core"! But of CPUs in the system there are two for a total of 8 cores. Indesign seems to use only 1/8 of the available computing power ... In addition, practically does not use the GPU (only 10-15%).
From the customer service was suggested to disable or remove a processor from the system. All this seems to me incredible. I use the workstation for applications that can take advantage of the power of the machine, should I remove the processor whenever I have to use CS 5.5? If things are this way I'm thinking of asking if Adobe buy me a PC with a single processor only for use with CS 5.5 ...
Thank you.

Interesting idea, I'll investigate in this direction, I should try to make a mirror of the ssd on a traditional hard drive, exchange them and see if the situation changes. It must, however, be a further factor in the eventual bad combination hardware ... on my laptop I have: windows 7 x64, intel core i7 processor, 16gb of ram, nvidia quadro 3000m, and .... a ssd ocz agility 3, but indesign is more responsive.
But why indesign should be influenced by the hard-drive? With 16gb of ram and working files on NAS because in design interacts with the hard drive?

Indesign CC export very slow

When Exporting a PDF from Indesign CC for a pront job the export time can be from very fast to VER VERY SLOW (have maxed at 45min) this is on the same document and the same export setting to the same location on a local disk.
Example:
I open the document and click export on a random day and click export with high quality settings for the PDF with bleed and crop marks this takes around 2 min.
Later that day i do it again and then the same process takes between 10-45 min.
This have been tested on 2 different computer at the company.

InDesign CC 2014 is very very slow when working with a table.

InDesign CC 2014 is very very slow when working with a table. Every 1/2 - 1 hour it nearly falls back, impossible to work with. While this project must be finshed quite soon..
What the hell is the matter with this Creative Cloud. I havea very fast iMac form 2014. I closed all other programmes, even cannot listen to music now. More people with this problem??
Martien

@Martien – How complex is your table?
How many cells? Merged ones as well?
Complex formatting of texts inside the cells?
Complex formatting rules of table rows and/or columns?
Many images inserted?
If yes, and the table is running through many text frames of many pages, I fear, you can do nothing against slowness.
Nothing but: Greek text, not showing the page contents in the Pages Panel, in short: anything you can do to get better performance in redrawing of the screen.
If you have the chance to break up one big table in several parts, do that and edit its parts one after another isolated. Pehaps in different documents.
Then merge the parts in one table, if you want to flow it from page to page.

InDesign CS 5.5 very slow open file

Hi,
I've a problem with inDesign. When i shift from a file to another, it is very slow.
I 've to work with a lot of file ( 8 or 9) open concurrently.
Every file is about 200 Mb.
this not happen using inDesign CS4 (on the same MAC, before upgrading to CS 5.5)
Here my MAC configuration
Imac Intel core i5 2.5 Ghz
8 Gb RAM 1333Mhz DDR3
MAC OSx 10.7.4 updated
Indesign CS 5.5 update to 7.5.3
Anyone can explain me ????
Thanks in advance

Look in the upper left corner of your screen. I’ve seen instance where the program opens with nothing but a tiny window there.
If that doesn’t do it, then restart Windows.
