Can't start InDesign CC 2014

I have got the same problem as mentioned in this thread:
Re: can't open indesign 2014
Unfortunately the solution mentioned there doesn’t work for me.
My newly installed InDesign CC 2014 doesn’t start, the errors message says I haven‘t got the required permissions for access to the preferences folder.
What I tried:
- I copied the preferences folder ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Adobe InDesign/9.0 to ..../10.0
(first only the folder, then including AppPrefs.xml, both didn’t help)
These folders have owner "myusername"/"staff"
- tried Disk Utility to repair permissions
System is MacOSX Mavericks (10.9.3)
Every other InDesign version starts fine (CS5.5 to CC), also the new Photoshop works.
Any other folders to check? Which permissions for which user are required?
Thanks for some hints ...

Hello Martin,
1. Maybe you have to activate/deactivate, so please have a look there:

2, Sometimes, we know in the meantime, the "opm.db file" is the culprit. In this case you should delete it.
3. Did you already try "uninstalling and re-installing"?
Be careful with (de)installing aso. by (de)installing by your own resources. As much as I regret it and as strange as it may seem I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.
Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
I quote: Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative CloudCS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html   and follow the prescribed sequence of operations
4. If necessary and for further questions click through http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html or http://helpx.adobe.com/de/contact.html and if "open" please use chat, I had the best experiences.
Good luck!

  • Can i start Indesign CS5.5 from Indesign CS6 [js]?

    I need to resave document for coworkers in previous version (from CS6 to CS5.5). So far i did it manually: open doc in CS6, save as IDML, then open IDML in CS5.5 and save it as INDD (ver5.5).
    I was told how to save as IDML. OK. And now i'd like to do next step - open this idml-file in CS5.5 and save it as CS5.5 document. Can i start an Indesign CS5.5 from script of CS6?
    Thanks.

    may be a got in mess. )) This work not bad. But now i wrote a question in neighbor discussion about suppres warning while starting next script (here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5063430#5063430).

  • I can't start INdesign CS6

    A colleague of mine bought Indesign CS6, and he can't start the software.
    We are part of the same domain, but he's a "normale employee" and I am part of our IT division. And it's policy with us that any software can only be installed with a user with admin priviliges.
    When I install it with my admin user it all works fine. But when a normal user tries to open the software it shows the splash screen and then it just says that it has encountered a problem. There is no specific error message or error code.
    When I go into Active Directory and I remove the logon script, we can also start up the software.
    When I called Adobe they said I had to give admin priviliges to the user, but that is not what is supposed to happen. The software should just work for every user on the desktop/notebook it's installed on.
    So I'm guessing it's probably something in the registry I should do. Anyone has any idea what?

    We're seeing a number of similar reports. I can't run as a standard user on Windows 7, either (but since i'm the only user here, I run as admin anyway so I never noticed until the other day when someone else brought it up.
    It's some sort of permissions issue, and I think you can work around it by telling the system to run ID as administrator and turning off UAC, but you shouldn't have to do that, and probably don't want to for a variety of valid reasons. Does your comapny have a support contract? I think this is something that needs to be handled by tech support, and probably a patch needs to be issued, but I don't know that it's a universal problem -- we don't have hundreds of complaints and I'm sure there are thousands of cases where it actually is working or we'd be inundated.

  • Can I change InDesign CC 2014 to default to cmyk mode for pantone colors instead of lab?

    I work for a large corporation with close to 1000 sales people so we have a POD vendor who manages a website for the sales people to order our literature.  Our colors were all great and now with InDesign CC 2014 using lab values instead of cmyk for pantones our colors are off.  Is there a way to set InDesign CC 2014 to default to cmyk mode for pantones instead of lab?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    so we have a POD vendor who manages a website for the sales people to order our literature.
    The Pantone + Solid ink libraries only have one Lab definition. You can force a conversion to process CMYK via Ink Manger and the converted output values will depend on the document's CMYK profile.
    If you prefer a single, device dependent CMYK definition for a solid ink simulation, you now have to use the Pantone + Bridge library—those colors are defined as process CMYK—or you can go back to the legacy solid library

  • 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'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

    If it doesn't worked please try to reset the preferences Troubleshooting 101: Replace, or "trash" your InDesign preferences

  • 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.

  • InDesign CC 2014 crashes on startup

    I am encountering an odd error every time I try and start inDesign CC 2014.
    It starts loading and then an APPCRASH error occurs. The log suggests the problem lies with PlugPlugOwl.dll
    If I uninstall inDesign and remove the preferences and then reinstall I can run the program but if I quit at all or inDesign crashes, the next time I try to load it it will crash upon startup with the same error.
    As you can imagine this is incredibly frustrating. As far as I know I am not using any plugins from a previous version of Adobe CS.
    Every other CC 2014 program appears to run without any problems.
    Can anyone shed any light on this?

    Are you using any third party plugins at all? Font Manager? Does it happen if you start up in Safe Mode, or if you log on with a different user account?

  • You can't open the application "Adobe InDesign CC 2014" because it is not responding.

    For some reason InDesign has decided to stop responding. Acts like it wants to launch but then does nothing. When I try to launch it from the Finder rather than the Dock, I receive this message:
    You can’t open the application “Adobe InDesign CC 2014” because it is not responding.
    Please advise.

    Wild guess here, but the installers are known to fail to set the correct permissions on the preference folders. See Cant launch new inDesign CC | Adobe Community  and substitute Version 10 where you see Version 9.
