Adobe CS4 Indesign will not start on Mac OSX 10.9

Hi everybody,
I recently ported my Adobe CS from an older Mac to a new machin under OSX 10.9. (Mavericks), i.e. i installed the suite from the originals DVDs. No errors were reported. I checked that all programs I need should be campatible. Acrobat Pro, Photoshop, Illustrator run fine. Indesign, however, does not start but signals an "Error 5". No further explanation. What could possibly be wrong?
Best regards,

Might be permissions to write the prefs. See Cant launch new inDesign CC | Adobe Community

  • It will not run on Mac OSX 10.5.8, on a G% dual 2.0ghz, now my older version of Firefox is gone...

    I downloaded Firefox 4.0 and It will not run on Mac OSX 10.5.8, on a Mac G5 dual 2.0ghz. Now my older version of Firefox is gone...Why won't it work, the download page says it is for OSX and does not say it will not work on any particular OSX. Can your clarify. And can I get the old Firefox 3 back or should I continue using Safari....?

    Yes I've read every one of them, none of them provide solutions whatsoever, I have spent about ten hours on this site in the past two days to no avail, none of the "resolved" threads provided any sort of solution for me, I have tried everything suggested on this website so far, multiple times, to no avail.

  • Adobe Indesign will not start-Runtime Error

    Hi,
    I recently bought Creative Suites Design Premium CS5 and I am having a problem with indesign. The program will not launch. This message shows up The application has requested the Runtime to terimate in unusual way. Does anyone know how to fix this? I am using Windows XP-32 bit, and  service pack 3.
    Thanks for the help,
    Athena

    Uninstalling InDesign and then installing InDesign should fix the problem.

  • CS4 trial will not start/open

    I downloaded the full trial of DW CS4, clicked to open the
    program, I get the green DW box and it will not go any further, I
    disabled all firewalls and Virgin media security but it still won't
    start/open.
    All I get is the windows busy symbol, and then "program not

  • CS4 DVD will not start

    I am running XP Pro with SP3 and all current patches. My dvd drive is a Plextor PX-760A. At first neither the CS4 application dvd nor the Learning dvd would start in my drive.
    Then I flashed the drive firmware from 1.04 to 1.07.
    This drive uses the windows drivers. Plextor does not supply drivers.
    After flashing the firmware the CS4 Learning dvd starts fine. I also found my CS3 dvd and it also starts fine.
    However, the CS4 application dvd will not spin up. The drive makes 2 faint beeps, tries to spin up the disk a few times and then gives up.
    Any suggestions on what I might try before calling Adobe and asking for a replacement disk?

    Success!
    A PC at the local library was able to spin up the Photoshop CS4 DVD. I then copied the files to an sdhc card via a USB card reader that I brought with me. Those files take a bit under 4GB.
    Back home I scanned the card for malware, copied the files to an empty partition on one of my drives and then installed.
    Installation was smooth, my serial # was accepted, and I have opened both Bridge and PS. I am good to go.

  • Dreamweaver mx 2004 will not start on Mac running OSX 10.6.2

    Right after installation I go to run Dreamweaver (or any of the mx 2004 suite), the item bounces, then dissepears and does not start up. I looked in the console and found the following item... "translate: MACH_RCV_PORT_CHANGED - INVALID POINTER, RCV BUFFER NOT SWAPPED".
    Now, I have found hundreds of people on the internet having the same issue, and the standard replies given, (by the way, never work!). Re-installing does not work, clearing out the preferences does not work, re-installing the OS is not an option (I have a brand new laptop with OSX 10.6.2).
    I did see that Adobe had received this error question, but they have removed it from their site. It seems that they do not want to address this issue for some reason. I would like to know how to fix this error. Let's put it this way, Anyone who buys a new Mac, then installs their MX Studio 2004, it will NOT work under any circumstances. I have seen hundreds of other people with the same problem, and never get it resolved. So, do I toss dreamweaver out for good or is there a fix that Adobe will allow anyone to talk about?

    Re: "Alternatively, if you don't want to do this, the only other option I am aware of to solve this problem is to buy software like Fusion or Parallels and install Leopard (10.5) as your OS and run MX 2004 within a virtual environment."
    Just so this is perfectly clear.....   NO CAN DO
    I have VMWare and Parallels on a Brand New MacBook Pro. It came with 10.5.11 and that is absolutely the OLDEST Mac OS I can install in a virtual environment. Believe me, I tried Tiger, Panther and Jaguar to no avail.
    If the Mac in question came loaded with Snow Leopard, it has a "Snow Leopard or better" firmware write on the logic board and it will not allow an older OS to be installed.... even in a virtual environment, unless there's a secret that nobody I've spoken to in support for both VM clients knows.

  • InDesign will not open on Mac

    InDesing will not open on my Mac. I have read its because of Maverick. I updated Java which was reccomened but its still not opening. Illustrator and Photoshop are fine. Please help!

    Did you do an inplace upgrade to Mavericks?
    Uninstall, run the cleaner tool (see http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html) then reinstall.

  • Why is it that Adobe CS2 software will not work with Mac OS Mountain Lion? What do I do?

    Why is it that I must pay more money to upgrade my Adobe software so that it will work with Apple Mac OS Mountain Lion. Is it that Adobe wants to wring every cent out of me in order for me to use there products? Or should I just delete the Adobe software from my system and forget about Adobe and find something else?

    Waynjer61 please see the system requirements for Creative Suite 2 listed at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1195856. 
    The largest issue which is preventing you from utilizing Creative Suite 2 on your current computer is the switch which was made from PowerPC processors to Intel processors.  This coupled with Apple dropping Rosetta support, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosetta_(software), which previously allowed Intel processors to utilize applications coded for PowerPC processors is the main cause of Creative Suite 2 no longer functioning under newer operating systems.

  • Adobe Acrobat XI will not start after install?  Help

  • Bridge will not open after Mac OSX update

    Hi, I updated to Mac OSX 10.9.5 yesterday, and now Bridge CC will not open.  What should I do?

    I'm not familiar with Lr, not having used it since trying it and thoroughly hating it when I tried when it first came out, but…  I'm not quite clear what you mean by "open in Bridge".
    Bridge doesn't "open" anything, so I suspect you mean open in Adobe Camera Raw hosted by Bridge.  Bridge is just a file browser, and as such it doesn't open, edit, manipulate or save anything; it just hands the file(s) to the appropriate application, whether that be Photoshop, Adobe Camera Raw (ACR), Adobe Illustrator, InDesign or even something like MS Word.
    Perhaps you need to re-establish the file association at the OS X level.  What happens when you bypass Lr altogether and just double-click on a raw file in the Finder?

  • Bridge will not launch in Mac OSX 10.6.8

    Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Standard (Mac OS) works fine except for Bridge which will not launch from Photoshop or from Applications, after 2 Uninstall/Reinstalls,and same attempts with new user account. Can anyone help?

    Hi Gannett,
      You are right.  A couple of years ago,  I had transferred all MacBook contents (including Photoshop Elements) to a new iMac. A freeze up of the new computer resulted (at Apple's suggestion) in using the old user account (from the MacBook). When I installed the Adobe Creative Suite this fall, Bridge  would not launch. After days of frustrating troubleshooting and searching the web in vain,  the case with Adobe escalated to Level 3; I spent over 4 hours on the phone with an Adobe expert (in Manila!) before this was solved by creating a new virgin account created (with nothing except the basic iMac software and the Adobe Suite on it. Gun shy of any further adjustments or migrations, I decided to keep the new user account strictly for my Creative Suite work. End of problem. Thanks for getting back to me, and  Merry Christmas!

  • Macbook pro will not boot into Mac OSX

    When i got my MacBook Pro it would boot into Mac OSX fine. Now it wont even give me the option and will only let me boot into Windows which i have running through bootcamp. I have tried reinstalling MacOSX but my OSX installion DVD will not get recognised and i cannot boot off it either. I have tried using 2 other discs still with the same issue. The confusing thing is that the CD/DVD drive works fine and the MacOSx discs work fine in other macs as i have tried it in my brothers machine.
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks

    I don't think that the laptop even has Mac installed anymore becuase in an attempt to reinstall Mac the partition was formatted. And I can't boot of the disc becuase it just ejects by itself after a few seconds in the drive.

  • Music will not transfer from Mac (OSX 10.9.3) to iPhone via cloud

    Music will not transfer from my Mac (OSX 10.9.3) to my iPhone except for music purchased through iTunes. Hard sync doesn't seems to work as I use iCloud. Suggestions?

    Only music purchased from the iTunes store is available to download from iCloud unless you subscribe to iTunes Match.  Also, you can sync music using iTunes on you Mac even if you are using iCloud for syncing your contacts, calendars and other data.

  • Officejet Pro 8600 will NOT print on MAC OSX 10.7.5

    I'm using Mac OSX 10.7.5 
    New Officejet Pro 8600 is set-up and wireless is connected with Bonjour.  When printing the printer utility opens and shows me that the printer is connecting.  For example: "Printing Microsoft Word - Document 1".  Printing page is shown as "100% complete". However, nothing prints.
    I am able to print the 'Print Self Test Page' but nothing else (ie. word documents). I have the printer setup on an HP Laptop and it is working just fine over the network.
    I have tried every solution under the following link and nothing worked:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docnam​e=c02205477

    HI, I also had this same issue and finally worked out a solution.
    Just to summarise: I had two Macbooks 10.7.4, iPhone, iPad, airport express and netgear evg2000 router. They all worked wirelessly one minute then stopped. I could wirelessly connect to the printer, print test pages, view the queue, view supplies but any print would appear in the queue as 100% complete or 1% or 12% but never actually print out.
    I logged in to the embedded web server (ews) on the printer, went to network, advanced settings-bonjour and changed the Bonjour Highest Priority Service to '9100 printing' instead of 'LDP'. I then deleted the printer from the print function in system prefs, re added it and it worked. I had to turn the iPhone and iPad off and on and they worked.

  • Installed Adobe CS 3. InDesign will not start : why unexpected quit

    This post follows up with a recent post on a powerpc g4 with I/O error. Thought had gotten it resolved with a new hd cable and another hard drive. Installed OS 10.4 and other programs that were on my other hd. All program start ok other than InDesign in Adobe CS 3. When launching InDesign a box comes up stating that the program had an unexpected quit and asked to send the information. I click on the data report it indicates "crash exception: unmapped memory exception". I have reinstalled from the cd several times and get the same results. This disk was used to install on this powerpc before so I think the disk is ok. I went to Disk Utility and ran "verify disk" and indicated was ok. Ran "verify permissions" and a bunch were corrected. Then reset with cmd-opt-p-r and restarted. Went back to Disk Utility and ran "verify disk" and "verify permissions" and again many permissions were incorrect and said were corrected. What will I need to do to get InDesign to start?
