Some InDesign CS5.5 files won't open until force quit and relaunch application (Mac). It seems that this occurs rarely, but once it does it on a file, it happes every time.
Any suggestions?

Is your Indesign updated to 7.5.2  ?
Where are these file saved on network or on your computer?
Are you using any font mangement software link suitcase fusion.?

  • InDesign CS5 file won't open

    At my work, we are working on formatting a book in InDesign. We are using the same base template for each file. I created a front matter document with a table of contents (TOC), list of figures (LOF), list of tables (LOT), acronyms, and glossary using that base template. Everything worked fine; I was able to generate the TOC, LOF, and LOT, and could work with the file with no problem. Then I saved and closed the file. Later that day, I was unable to open the file.
    The message I get includes the statement, "You may not have permission or the file may be open already."
    No one else had opened it and there are no lock files. The other person using InDesign also cannot open it. I made a copy of the file and saved it in another location and still could not open it.
    The files are all on our network. We are using InDesign CS5 and Windows7 (64-bit). The only difference between this file and the others are the modifications that I made to some TOC paragraph styles so two paragraphs could be displayed side-by-side in the TOC (i.e., Chapter 1 Introduction all on one line, where Chapter 1 comes from one paragraph and Introduction comes from another by having no leading on one paragraph style).
    Can anyone suggest a solution for this? This is rather urgent as the client needs the book by the end of next week.
    Thank you so much for your help.
    regards,
    Marina Michaels

    Yes:  The message I get says, "Cannot open (file path and name). You may not have permission or the file may be open already."
    Thanks!

  • Indesign CS5.5 won't open/start after a recent windows 8 update -- how to fix?

    I just had a Windows 8 auto update happen and then my Indesign CS5.5 won't open/start. When I go to open it, it gets to the usual screen but then an error message shows up saying that Windows has encountered a problem and needs to shut the program down, and will notify me if a solution exists. What to do?

    Do you see anything useful in the Event Viewer logs? Have you tired rebooting? Does it start if you log in with a different username?

  • How do I enable plug-ins for InDesign CS2 - files won't open

    How do I enable plug-ins for InDesign CS2 - files won't open.
    I own CS2.
    I shouldn't have to buy CS6 InDesign.
    How do I open CS 2 files and get the plug ins again.

    Asking the same question over and over will not change the answer.

  • I am getting this response when I am trying to open a file: Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser."  What do I do?

    I am getting this response when I am trying to open a file: Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser.”  What do I do?  I have opened this up in the past without a problem. 

    Back up all data.
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Error message for PDF files "accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser"?

    Whenever I try to view a PDF file, I'm getting the error message "Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser." I have the new Adobe Reader but am still getting this message.

    Even after launching Reader and accepting the EULA? Most strange.

    Nothing to do with the download; you need to open Adobe Reader once after the install is complete, and accept the EULA.

  • Indesign CS4 files won't open in CS6

    Installed CS6 on new MBP. Moved CS4 design files over to new computer.
    Files won't open in CS6. Get the following message:
    Cannot open "filename.indd". The file "filename.indd" is damaged (Error code: 4).
    This happens with ALL of my CS4 Indesign files. (*Note: they DO open on old MBP)
    I tried exporting one as IDML on old machine - same thing.
    Any suggestions? I was told all older version files will open in NEW CS versions. True?

    The Voodoo is in the basics. - turn it off...turn it on?
    I just quit InDesign CS6 and reopened...now all of my files are opening fine in CS6!
    @Bob - just to double check - moved files from old mbp - onto external hd - then brought them over to new mbp...is there a better way?

  • Safari 6.0.5 pdf still won't print with cache emptied and relaunched on my MAC 10.8.5

    Emptied cache and relaunched Safari. The pdf I click on that shows a document goes blank when I click on print. I did learn that other documents in Safari will print after all, but not this one. Enabled cookies to no avail. Firefox works. Must be something to do with the site I am on perhaps.

  • Zzxc: FireFox hangs on opening requiring force quit I have snow leopard mac and tried terminal from your web page but did not get the box as shown

    hello zzxc
    Firefox does not open in safe mode and from the menu bar it will not quit ...... I have to go to the dock and right clic to force quit.
    I have tried to uninstall and reinstall, to try terminal as instructed
    It will not open in safe mode
    What now ?

    Try doing a "clean install" of Firefox:
    # Force quit Firefox
    # Drag Firefox (in Applications) to Trash, and empty trash
    # Download Firefox again from http://www.mozilla.com and re-install.

  • InDesign CS5.5 won't open in OS X 10.10

    I just installed Yosemite and hadn't had any troubles with anything until I tried to open InDesign CS5.5. It keeps telling me, "To open “Adobe InDesign CS5.5.app” you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime." I've searched for Java SE 6 and cannot find a way to download it. I downloaded Java 8, but the program is still not opening and I still get the warning dialog. I have work I need to get done and cannot work on till this is fixed. Any help is appreciated.
