Can't get newly-installed Adobe InCopy to open/create files

I have a user's computer which I upgraded the OS on (10.4.11 to 10.6.5), and afterwards I went to check to see if InCopy runs. It couldn't open any files. After awhile, I realized that it couldn't do File->New either. If I open a file, spinning beachball of death. If I launch the app without a file, I can wander about the menus fine, until I do File->Open, which brings up an OpenPanel, or File->New which brings up a panel with some page configurations. As soon as I click on the "OK" or "Continue" button in one of those panels, it's over -- spinning beachball, with Force Quit the only way out. So
I started over -- ran uninstall and install -- here is what I have done:
1. Ran the uninstaller, ticking the remove preferences option.
2. Put all remaining InCopy files that I could find in the trash, emptied the trash.
3. Ran the CS5 cleanup tool which I found on the adobe support site. (It cleans up CS3 and CS4 installs, too.)
4. Looked around for Library/Preferences/Adobe/In Copy is root Library and each user's directory, trashed everything.
5. Used applejack to fsck the disk, repair permissions, clean system and user caches, clean up virtual memory.
6. Rebooted, logged in to an administrator account, ran the "Setup" program inside the InCopy installer. Put in the license number, set it to install everything on the list (recommended).
7. Used Get Info on the /Applications/Adobe In Copy folder to set its permissions and the permissions of all files down the tree to read+write for everyone.
8. Launched InCopy, Clicked on File->New and hit "Continue" on the panel. Program hangs.
9. Force Quit InCopy.
10. If I use AdobeUpdate to Update to 6.0.6 I get exactly the same behavior.
11. If I update to 6.0.5 I get the same behavior.
12. If I try to open an existing InCopy file, it hangs the same way.
13. Enabled the root account repeated the entire rigamorole as root.
14. Deleted In Copy and associated files as root, installed as administrator.
15. Try running as root and as (non-privileged) users.
My own computer runs InCopy just fine, giving these messages to the Console:
1/21/11 3:34:24 PM [0x0-0xaa5aa5].com.adobe.InCopy[43770] Error in XmlRpcClient::writeRequest: write error (error 32).
1/21/11 3:34:51 PM Adobe InCopy CS4[43770] * __NSAutoreleaseNoPool(): Object 0x3618180 of class NSCFArray autoreleased with no pool in place - just leaking
1/21/11 3:35:40 PM [0x0-0xaa5aa5].com.adobe.InCopy[43770] virtual uint32 XMLRPCIdleTask::RunTask(uint32, IdleTimer*) threw -18151471 (feeb07d1) 'Failed executing externalEditor.registerEditor'
I can watch the Console on the machine where IC hangs, it gives all of those expected Console messages, until I go to open the file, and there are no messages after that.
Anybody have any clue as to what I've broken? We have InCopy alone or InCopy as part of the whole CS4 in multiple machines, and everyone else's works just fine.

Nah, plenty of disk space, and was able to install and run photoshop later without incident.

  • How can I get a free adobe reader to open the files that my instructor has sent and listen to her feedback

    Any Ideas?

    Hi tpcruiser22,
    Did your instructor provide PDF files?  You can get the free Adobe Reader for viewing them from www.adobe.com/products/reader.html.
    And if you want to "listen" to the files that your instructor provided, you can activate Read Out Loud in Reader by choosing View > Read Out Loud > Activate Read Out Loud.
    Best,

  • I have a NOOK but don't live in UK. How can I get ADE installed on NOOK to download epub files?

    I want to download files to my NOOK but cannot do so via NOOK shop as I do not live in the UK or have UK bank account. I Tried download on PC that works ok. But how do I get ADE onto NOOK and install it there. CAN it be done?

    There have been quite a few issues with ADE2.0 and various eReaders.
    The simplest solution is often to uninstall and reinstall v1.7.2.
    Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

    How do I get newly installed Outlook for Mac to synchronise with iMail?

    Make sure they are connected to server accounts.   Create folders on the server account you can use to copy back and forth between the two.  Use the flag messages feature to ensure that only the messages you need to copy are copied.  IMAP accounts allow for servers with server folders, and local folders.   I don't know much about Exchange.

  • If I can't get help quick, Adobe CC will no longer be an option. I'm currently trialing and only have 10 days until my discount offer expires.

    If I can't get help quick, Adobe CC will no longer be an option. I'm currently trialing and only have about 10 days until my discount offer expires. After that, I will no longer consider CC a valid option as it is almost twice the price.
    Premiere Pro audio slips out of sync, though it does not occur in Sony Vegas or in Lightworks with the same footage. Strangely, this is not only with the audio from within the video (.mts) file, but also from the audio I record separately and sync up in post. The frame rate and everything is, according to the sequence settings, accurately detected.
    Running my file through Handbrake is a workaround that I'm not willing to use. I've set my workflow (capture) so that this should be unnecessary, and indeed it is unnecessary . . . except for within Premiere Pro. Using Media Encoder to output an intermediate file doesn't work either; the audio still slips out of sync.
    Yes, I've already posted in the Premiere Pro forum, with no replies, but this is a bigger CC issue because the only way I'll give CC a try is with my 1 year $29.~ offer (as a CS user), which expires on the 30th. After that, I'll never give Adobe another look.

    Since you have quite a number of technical issue which needs expert guidance from the qualified technicians, please contact Adobe Support via chat or phone.
    Regarding the change in price after renewals, you can check it under "plan change" in your adobe.com if different pricing can be applied.

  • Can I get help installing the latest version of iTunes?

    Can I get help installing the latest version/update of iTunes on my PC?

    Assuming the install has failed as it has for several others...
    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    and paste into:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

    How can I get to install Microsoft Office 2011 in my Mac OS X 10.6.8 if when down to "writing package scripts" it fails ?

    Contact Microsoft support and ask for help.  You've paid for the kit, so installation-time support is part of the expectations.  They'll probably suggest a Repair Permissions and a Verify Disk pass, both performed by booting the installation DVD and using Disk Utility from the Utilities menu item, and selecting those two repairs.
