Adobe InDesign CS3 won't load

I purchase Adobe CS2 in 2005 and later upgraded to CS3 as a dowload from oline.  Adobe indesign is asking to re-install, however the disks for cs2 no longer works on my mac ox 10. 7.4.5. What to do?  Renee

You don’t need CS2, only the serial number.

  • InCopy / InDesign CS3 - won't load software but appears in task mgr

    We are going through a computer upgrade and am trying to install Adobe CS3 InCopy and InDesign on these new machines.
    We purchased HP 6005 Pro PC's with AMD Athlon II processors and are running Windows XP operating system.
    Installing both pieces of software goes though fine.  But when you try to turn on the programs, nothing happens.  Nothing loads on the screen.  The only thing shows that the software is running is in the Task Manager.
    We have plenty of memory, plenty of hard drive space.  But we can't figure out why the software won't load onto our screens.  After extensive research online, the only thing we can find is that there could be a driver incompatibility.  Nothing conclusive on whether our processors are incompatible either.
    Does anyone have any insight on the issue?

    We are installing and using the software under the administrator logins.
    My main concern is that we purchased computers that have a processor that is incompatible with Adobe InCopy/InDesign CS3.   We purchased two types of PC's, some with AMD Atholon II processors and some with Intel Core2 vpro processors.  InDesign/Incopy CS3 were going to go on the Intel's (more power computer) and the InCopy was going to only go on the AMD's.
    Prior to receiving the CS3 versions of the software, I hadn't been aware that was the version we were being assigned by our corporate office.  After looking at the requirements of CS3 on the adobe site, it only mentions Intel Processors as basic requirements.
    (We purchasd the computers with AMD's to save some money....the users requiring InCopy didn't need "as much computer" as the InDesign users).
    Could the processor be the problem?

  • Indesign CS3 won't load

    Every time I try to start Indesign I get this popup
    I am on a Mac running 10.5.8.
    I have copied the entire Plug-ins folder from my Mac Pro, (also running CS3 & still working) but that didn't help.
    I was able to trash preferences when starting Indesign (CMD-Option-CNTL-Shift) but since it didn't finish loading I don't know if it worked.
    It worked fine yesterday.
    Ideas?

    Found the answer in another forum, with instructions. Deleting the SING file solved the problem.

  • Adobe InDesign CS3

    After updating, cannot get Adobe InDesign CS3 to open, keeps asking for Java SE6 runtime, but that won't install, Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

    Do a search for Java for OS X 2014-001. Sorry it wouldn't allow me to paste in the link. The install worked for me, so now my Illustrator works. According to others, this is what you need. My InDesign had been working, but my Illustrator didn't work until I installed the Java for OS X 2014-001. "Java for OS X 2014-001 includes installation improvements, and supersedes all previous versions of Java for OS X. This package installs the same version of Java 6 included in Java for OS X 2013-005. Please quit any Java applications before installing this update. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6133  for more details about this update.

  • Bold contents in Adobe Indesign CS3

    Hi there, I would like to know how to locate and use the bold command in Adobe Indesign CS3.

    @Serika – just that what Peter said. But in some situations it does not work at all or yield "wrong" results. It all depends how many styles of your font family are available or fell in the category "Bold" weight.
    One positive example is "Times New Roman" where four variants are present: "Regular", "Italic", "Bold" and "Bold Italic".
    One intermediate example is "Warnock Pro" where more than four font variants are in the family.
    It works for you to set "Regular" to "Bold" and back, but it won't work setting "Light" to "Bold" with the keyboard shortcuts.
    Also, you could not get "Semibold" if you like to.
    One negative example out of many is "Hiragino Kaku Gothic Pro", where there is no "Regular" or "Bold" face, just "W3" or "W6". With that font you cannot switch from "W3" to "W6" with a keyboard shortcut.
    (And there are thousands of other fonts out, that are not working the way you are expecting it).
    Conclusion:
    Always work with Character Styles.
    And apply Keyboard Shortcuts to them.

  • Adobe Bridge CS3 crashes on load in my Windows 7 workstation.

    Adobe Bridge CS3 crashes on load in my Windows 7 workstation.
    I recently completely removed, deactivated and reinstalled all my Adobe Creative Suite CS3 Master Collection to solve some problems with other application from the suite and now I'm surprise Bridge continues to fail. In my portable workstation the same software (Bridge) uses to work.
    I tried launching Bridge under several compatibility modes. All failed.
    Is there any know bug I should be aware of? Any fix?
    Is this a common problem?

    Curt Y. Thank you for your answer.
    It was only Bridge who was crashing. It failed to load and Windows was giving an error message.
    I tried your suggestion, and resetting all options in the reset window it now loads. It was as simple as that.

    Adobe InDesign CS5 needs plugs ins, but how?   Adobe InDesign CS6 won't open says OS problem.  Adobe upgrade site crashes on me.

    You might ask in InDesign to learn how to install plugins
    >says OS problem
    What IS your operating system, and which exact version?
    Is the link below where you are starting for upgrades?
    All Adobe updates start here and select product, read to see if you need to install updates in number order, or if the updates are cumulative for the individual product http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/

  • Indesign CS6 won't load on my right hand monitor

    Indesign CS6 won't load on my right hand monitor

    Joining the discussion... [running CS6 on Windows8; dual screen 23"; 1920 x 1080 (NVIDIA GeForce 9600GT card; DVI, HDMI)]
    I have had the same problem. Each of the panels (pages, layers etc.) would not work with the mouse/pointer... if I clicked in a panel, I could tab/shift tab through each component in the panel, use the arrow keys to make changes, but the mouse/pointer was not active.
    After extreme frustration... The following appears to solve the issue.
    Solution: Open Indesign CS6, set up screen positions for the panels as required, save the workspace (Window/Workspace/New Workspace...).
    Sorry... this appeared to worked... but I have dicovered that it only works for a short period then this problem seems to rear it ugly head again and all panels are intermitent in their responsiveness. Currently I have tried re-start... doesn't seem to change the problem, a shutdown and startup resets everything but the problem soon appears again. I'm searching for a solution... anyone?

  • MDM and Adobe Indesign CS3

    Hi everybody,
    does anybody know wether the new version of Adobe Indesign CS3 works with MDM 5.5 SP3 ? Or do i need a newer version/ SP for this software version?
    Thanks for your help!

    Frederik,
    As far as I know there is only support for InDesign CS & CS2 (& Quark 5.0.1) using the most recent version of MDM. The InDesign plug-ins provided with installation are for CS and CS2. As far as I know CS3 is not even shipping until later this month, so it will probably take a short time until SAP has a plug-in to work with MDM.

  • Adobe Creative Suite CS3 - Adobe Indesign CS3 Debug: Installation on the same PC?

    Hi
    Is it possible to install Adobe Creative Suite CS3 and Adobe Indesign CS3 Debug on the same PC?

    Hi All,
    I'm hoping someone can help me :S
    I have designed a card measuring 210mm x 74mm. The printer has asked me to impose as head to head, 5mm double trims and bleed. I have no idea how to do this and seem to be wasting my time tring to google it. Trouble is I am trying to impose 4 pdf's into the 1 indesign file and when i export it as a pdf i can't see any trim mark/crop marks surrounding the edges of any of the 2 files (apart from the corners of the pages). I've probably just confused the hell out of you now but if you can help me I would really appreciate it. If I need to clarify anything please let me know.
    Thanks in advance!!

  • Adobe InDesign CS3 not running?

    i get a crash report as soon as i try to run Adobe InDesign CS3 any help on it? i as something that they are working on it? how soon can i see this happening is there any thing I can do to fix it? i need this for school by monday to get this big project done. pleas help.

    I see you posted two topics with the same problem. Not smart. But here is my answer from the other topic in this one as well. I hope it helps you out.
    InDesign CS3 worked fine for me, for a week. Now it crashes on launch too. On rare occasions where it doesn't crash on launch it will crash opening any file.
    Adobe recommends people do a clean install of Leopard instead of an upgrade to prevent this. This is what I read on their website. I did a clean install, and yet InDesign crashes. So no luck with that tip. I managed to get it working this morning.
    * I deleted all application font caches using (free) FontExplorer (Linotype)
    * I deleted all applications with the official installer (it has that option)
    * I switched off as many fonts as possible to eliminate corrupt font issues
    * I re-installed InDesign, ran Adobe Updater and rebooted my system
    After that. It ran.
    No explanation for why it started crashing before. Maybe this works for you. It wil take some time though so make yourself some coffee or something :-S
    Adobe should look into this.
    About fonts not working:
    Leopard is very strict with fonts I noticed. Some of my (legally purchased and non corrupt) fonts that worked in Tiger no longer work or work incorrectly in Leopard (noticably when using old style figures in fonts that have no regular figures).
    Not good.

  • Book Adobe InDesign CS3/CS4 SDK Programming by Kris Coppieters

    Hi there, I would like to ask if anybody knows whether Adobe® InDesign® CS3/CS4 SDK Programming Book by Kris Coppieters is available as ebook, since I could find only printed version on Lulu.com. Thanks for your help

    Hi Maciej,
    No, I've never released my book as an ebook. Not sure if it would be worth the effort - it's an awfully small market! I have my book up on Lulu primarily for my own use, as course notes that I use when I run an InDesign SDK training session - so I can quickly print some nice quality handouts for my students.
    Cheers,
    Kris

  • Back-saving Adobe CC / CS6 InDesign files for use in Adobe InDesign CS3?

    I am currently running Adobe CS3 on a Macintosh computer / OS. Is it possible to back-save Adobe CC / CS6 InDesign files for use in Adobe InDesign CS3?

    @kc.k – You will need InDesign CS4 for that.
    CS4 is the only version, that can export/import both IDML and INX exchange formats.
    And you need an exported INX file (from InDesign CS4) that can open your exported IDML file from CS6, CC or CC-2014.
    Since you are still running CS3 I'd suggest you downloading a 30days version of CS4 and do the conversion:
    Download Adobe CS4 and CS3 Free Trials Here (incl. After Effects) | ProDesignTools
    Read the Note about downloading very well before trying !!
