Can't open indesign 2014

after installing indesign 2014 i get this message: Unable to launch Adobe InDesign as you do not have sufficient permissions to access the preferences folders. Ensure that you have appropriate permissions and then restart Adobe InDesign.
it only happens to indesign

Here's what solved it for me. Went into ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe Indesign/ and copied my 9.0 prefs to the 10.0 directory. Now it starts up just fine.
Also note, my previous Indesign CC version still started up like normal during all this. I had previously tried using Disk Utility to repair permissions but that didnt help. When I looked the permissions on the 10.0 folder they were identical to the 9.0. So not sure what was going on there.

I can't open InDesign 7.5 in OS 10.9.4.

I can't open InDesign 7.5 in OS 10.9.4. Are they incompatible?

It should be. What happens when you try?
Did you copy or migrate your InDesign files to a new computer? That won't work. You would need to remove all the CS files with the Adobe Cleaner tool, then reinstall from a clean installed copy.

InCopy CS5 can't open InDesign, InCopy CC can

I have CS5 to CC installed on my machine (MAC). Using indesign CS5 to create a layout then export all stories for inCopy. InCopy CS5 cannot open the indd. CC can... I can open the individual .icml files though. If I use InCopy CC, I can check in > edit > check out and save. InDesign CS5 will be able to re-open. A bit confuse now on why InCopy CS5 can't open InDesign files anymore. Event files created pre CC update. Attached are the errors I get when trying to open with InC CS5. Any insight would be appreciated! Thanks.

I know. That's why I don't understand. I really used CS5 to work with InCopy CS5. Even try older files that were saved prior to CC-CS6 update and I get the same error. Didn't have InCopy CS5. Install the demo version. Can it be the issue?

Can not open Indesign CC 2014

Every time I open InDesign it comes up with " a problem caused the program to stop working and has to shut down", I can't use it, and Illustrator does the same thing, but not photoshop?. I bought the creative cloud suite program and so far, it's a waste of money because I can't even use it!!! I have windows 8.1, I think that is the problem?, the compatibility mode list only goes up to windows8?. I uncheck the box, but that doesn't work either?

Set Windows Explorer to show hidden files, then go to Users\<your username>\AppData and find the Adobe folders in both the Local and Roaming subfolders. Check the permissions to be sure both System and your user have full control on the folder and all subfolders.

Can't open Indesign file. Error message says I need to upgrade plug-ins?

I created a business card for my husband from my indesign 5.5 version. I haven't upgraded my version since creating the file and for some reason I can't open the file. I get the error message 'Cannot open "Business Card - Ryan.indd". Please upgrade your plug-ins to their latest versions, or upgrade to the latest version of Adobe InDesign.'
When I look at the business card file with finder it says it was created with InDesign 5.5. When I view my InDesign application through my finder applications it says I have InDesign 5.5 so I'm not sure why this error message is saying to upgrade my version of InDesign.

I wish I had a dollar for every person who claimed there was no way a file was saved in a later version only to find out it was.
If you post a link to it someone here will save it back for you.

Can't open InDesign CS6

I am trying to open up InDesign CS6 which I downloaded 3 years ago. At one point I did have InDesign CC but I never used it and canceled my "subscription" about a year ago. Now when I try to open InDesign CS6, it automatically takes me to the Adobe "Renew Subscription" window for CC. I have never had this problem with Photoshop or Illustrator and I used/have both CS6 and CC for those applications. HOW DO I OPEN InDesign CS6??

uninstall everything cc on your computer and then run the cleaner for cc, Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
then open id cs6>click help>activate>enter your serial number.
if that fails, uninstall id cs6, clean for cs6 and then reinstall id cs6.

Can't open Indesign files

I can't open a Indesign file I have been working on for days! Get a message saying tha "filealianses" may be missing! What do I do?
BR Nille

What procedure are you using to open the file? Is the file supposed to be on a network share?
We've seen reports of files on networks being changed to aliases. I believe restoring the name to the .indd extension may allow the file to reopen.

Can not open InDesign CS5 after updating to Yosemite.

I cannot open InDesign CS5 after updating my iMac to OS X Yosemite. I received an error message that said I need to install the legacy Java SE runtime.
I searched through the topics in this Forum, and followed what was recommended.
I have installed the most current legacy Java SE 8 runtime and verified that it is on my computer,
then rebooted the computer, a 2014 iMac. I have uninstalled and reinstalled InDesign CS5.
I still receive the error message that I need to install the legacy Java SE runtime. Next steps?

CS5 is NOT supported under Yosemite. Additionally, in place operating system upgrades are nothing short of a crapshoot.
Try uninstalling, running the cleaner tool and reinstalling. If that doesn’t help a clean install of the operating system is in order.
Even then you’re on your own.

Can I open Indesign 2.0 files with cs6 or the newest version of cc?

I want to buy either cs6 or the newest version of cc. I just need to know if I can open InDesign 2.0 files with either of these newer versions?

In theory, yes, but it's hard to predict what's going to happen with that big a gap in versions. I suggest you download a trial and give it a test, and if the file opens, the very first thing you should do is save as .idml. then open that and save as a new .indd without overwriting the original.

Can't Open Indesign CS6 Files In CC

How do you open indesign CS6 files in CC?

That sounds like there is no file association for .indd, and I'll bet you uninstalled CS6 or some other older version after you installed CC. If that's the case, uninstall and reinstall CC to repair the damage to common files and the file association.

Can't Open InDesign CC 2014

Installed InDesign CC 2014. Tried to open the program and received error:
"Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library: Runtime Error!
Program: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CC 2014\InDesign.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information."

Given that you have had previous installations (like InDesign CS6) navigate to
C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\Adobe\InDesign\Version 10.0\en_GB\Caches
and try to remove the contents of InDesign Recovery folder except for the file called RecoveryData. I also deleted InDesign ClipboardScrap files.
Then I went to
C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe
and noticed, that I had "Adobe InDesign" folder that contained PREVIOUS installation (9.0) and "InDesign" folder with the current version (10.0). I deleted first folder (Adobe InDesign), renamed "InDesign" to "Adobe InDesign" went into it:
C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe InDesign\Version 10.0\en_GB
and renamed InDesign Defaults (InDesign will recreate the file during opening, but you'll probably have to backup the workspace files.)
Then with the heart in my throat I launched InDesign and it f**king worked!!!
If that doesn't do for you mail me at [email protected] because I recreated the procedure from memory so I could have forgotten something important! But I'm 99% sure it was all I did.
HOPE it works for all of you too!

I can't open indesign cc 2014 on Mac

I'm receiving a notice to say "To open Adobe InDesign CC 2014 you need to install a Java runtime, but you are not connected to the internet". But I am connected to the internet.

Hi Esther Schwarz,
Please check permission on following location. It should be Read and Write
~/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign/<Version #>/
If it doesn't worked please try to reset the preferences Troubleshooting 101: Replace, or "trash" your InDesign preferences
Hope this helps.
