CS6 Dreamweaver and InDesign quit immediately on startup.

I have installed CS6 Design and Web Premium on a MacBookPro OS10.9.4 that also has CS5 Design and Web Premium installed. Photoshop, Illustrator, Bridge, Fireworks and Flash all open without problem. BUT CS6 Dreamweaver and InDesign quit immediately on startup. CS5 programs all still open without problem.

Yes! I beleive this is a bug in the Installer where it leaves ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign/Version 8.0 marked read-only, and then InDesign crashes early in the startup process (in the "AdobeBIB" component) when it tries to write its preferences and it fails to do so.
This is a longstanding bug and nobody understands why the installer messes it up.
So the answer is to either trash the above folder, or to hit Cmd-I (File Info) on it in the Finder and make sure it is set to read-write under Sharing and Permissions.
I just got done complaining a lot about this to Adobe, actually, last night. Bugs 3478250, 3478260, 3478263, 3478267, and 3424687.
(Of course, I might be wrong and it could be somethign totally different).
If the above doesn't work, try a new user account on your machine.
Oh, and also, you'll need to hit Cmd-Shift-G in the Finder and type in ~/Library to get to the hidden library folder (though there are other ways).

CS3 - Illustrator and InDesign quits when trying to print

Hi.
I have posted this on the Illustrator forum as well.
I have just bought a new iMac i7 running OSX 10.7.2. I have reinstalled my version of CS3 and I can open all elements - Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign.
The problem I am having is that Illustrator and InDesign quit when I try to print. It happens when I use 'command P' and when I go through the file menu. Photoshop doesn't quit when printing.
I can make PDFs of the files and I can print those (although sometimes the PDF won't print through my RIP software).
OS is updated to the latest version. All printer software and RIP is the latest version. InDesign also quit a couple of thimes when I was just selecting a line of type. i
It did it a few times when selecting the same line. I restarted the Mac and all seems OK with that now but I still can't print.
Can anyone shed any light onto this? I tried Adobe and they don't support CS3 any more and their Technical Department suggetsed I try this forum.
I don't want the expense of upgrading my CS3 at the moment.
Thanks
Roger

I have had a reply on the Illustrator forum and it has worked for me.

Hi Kenton,
Adding to what James mentioned, this stands true for both Lightroom and Photoshop. In other words, you don't need to necessarily install the previous versions but while installing the latest versions, in this case Lightroom 5 & PS CS6, you will need the serial keys for previous versions as well along with the current ones.

Ilustrator CS6/CC and InDesign CS6/CC Hangs

Ilustrator CS6/CC and InDesign CS6/CC Hangs when I try to 'save as' or use any pull down menu on any pallette....basically, I can't use anything but the basic program...so what's the point of paying $50 a month for nothing?

Hi Mary,
Can you please join the connect room https://my.adobeconnect.com/rbhunwal

CS6 Illustrator and InDesign colours are changed when the PDF is saved.

CS6 Illustrator and InDesign colours are changing when the saved PDFs are displayed on some different computers and for digital print output. I have ensured that the colours are all CMYK and tried different adjustments like preserving the numbers and the like but nothing is working. It prints properly on my inkjet and has displayed properly on different computers.

You need to read up on color management, color profiles and all that....

Dreamweaver and inDesign hang on launch

I am running Mac OS 10.7.4 and suddenly both Dreamweaver and inDesign hang on start up. Is there any tech support out there that can lead me through this problem?

I would test to see if you get the same behavior in a new account with administrative rights and try deleting the user preferences for these two apps.

Indesign crashes immediately at startup

When launching Indesign CS6 it immediately goes to the "InDesign.exe has encountered a problem..." crash window. I never see the startup window. I am using windows XP and have tried trashing the preferences but it didn't help.
I am wondering if I should uninstall and then reinstall CS6 or just InDesign. I paid for the download version so I don't have disks, I assume I would just do uninstall through the control panel and then go to my account on Adobe and go through the who download process again.
Any suggestions or thoughts would be appreciated.

Follow these instructions
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
If you paid for the download verison you should be able to access to dowloads again to get the files.
Check with Adobe support before conitinuing with a full uninstall.

Illustrator CS5 (and Indesign) quits unexpectedly...

Downloaded the CS5 premium. I'm having trouble with Illustrator (and Indesign)
Whenever I try to load Illustrator, the application quits when I'm at the startup panel, it doesn't get past 'updating font menu 30%'
Same with Indesign when I try to open 'new file' it quits.
Photoshop has showed no problems so far and seems to work just fine.
I have tried uninstall and reinstall. I've get the same results.
Does anyone know what's causing this?

Hi,
You can try this solution.
1. To solve this issue you need to create a new Admin account for your MAC.
2. Log-in to your new Admin account launch the software.
3. Close the software, navigate to MAC HD > Users > New Admin( What ever name you have given it) > Library > Preferences.
4. You will find the Adobe Illustrator CS5 setting folder, copy the folder to your MAC HD.
5. Log-in to your old account and replace the Adobe Illustrator CS5 setting from the same location with the New Admin account's folder which you have copied to your MAC HD.
6. Launch the software to check if it works.
For InDesign CS5.
1. To solve this issue you need to create a new Admin account for your MAC.

Blackford --
I can't believe no one has answered this since January.
Yikes !!!
I'm no expert here, just another Mac user,
but there appears to be a real problem with the "Speakable Items."
Does she need this to be on?
Speakable items can be set up in System Preferences>Universal Access>Voice Over (om or off). It can also be turned on and off toggling the F5 key at the top of the keyboard. Perhaps it got turned on accidently?
Also it looks like there's a problem with Startup items.
Check those in System Preferences>Accounts>HerAccount>Startup items.
What is selected to be in the startup items, please???
Get back to us, OK?

Why is my CS6 crashing and "unexpectedly quitting" everytime I try to use Photomerge? This is happening on both my new MBPs...

I've installed CS6 on both my brand new MacBook Pros, running OS 10.8. (I previously used this photoshop disc/install on my older MBP with no issues) but everytime I try to photomerge ANY photos, ANY size, I immediately have photoshop close. I have reinstalled the application with no luck. HELP!!!!!

Upgrading Dreamweaver and Indesign to newer versions

I currrently have Macromedia Dreamweaver 4 on Windows XP. I am purchasing a windows 7 pro 64-bit computer and would like to upgrade to CC or CS6. Will the files that I have created in these previous (old) versions be able to be opened on the newer versions? If not what do I do?? Any help is appreciated!

Code is code. You can work with your old HTML & CSS files in CS6 or CC. Simply tell DW (latest version) where to find them on your hard drive. Site > New Site.
NOTE: DW CC uses different Extension files. Older MXP Extensions will need to be converted to ZXP files.

IPod Touch No Content and apps Quit immediently after opening them

My iPod touch second gen is just over a year old and has the 3.0 update and now at 3.1.2, the problem i am now facing is that my ipod touch is randomly telling me i have no music and no movie content and when i access my apps they quit before they even open. all other things such as pictures and web and email still work. i'm on holidays and am shortly about to go on a 1 day train trip home and my computer is at home and my ipod is playing up again. the only solution i found was that if i re-sync either my music or my movies it makes my content come back but only for about a week.
Please give me either a solid answer on how to fix it or tell me what exactly causes this to happen.
please spare me of detials on if this happens to you because ive found hundreds of forum sites on this topic filled with people talking about his happening to them and no answer on how to solve it.
thankyou soo much to the person/ people who have an answer to my urgent proplem.

I have a first generation iPod touch and have loved it. I was having problem accessing WiFi so I updated itunes to 9.0 and the touch to the 3.1.2. Since the computer I originally synced to has died I synced it to another computer in my home. I didn't worry about losing my apps as there were all free and I figured I would just download them again. I now have WiFi and email however, now that I have tried to install facebook and a few other apps, they all crash before they even open.
I have tried:
installing apps and then restarting my iPod,
resetting my iPod,
restoring my iPod (twice with no success),
installing the apps through itunes and then syncing,
the only thing left would be to restore not using my backup. I dont' want to do this as I have all my contacts and information that I don't want to use.
Can anyone help me or should I just go get a blackberry?

Photoshop CC quits immediately upon startup

I purchased the $9.99 photography membership last night and for some reason reason PS CC doesn't work. When I go to launch it, it boots up fine and then just suddenly quits, no error message or anything. I reinstalled everything a few times and it's still the same. A trial version that I previously had installed works great. LR works fine too, so I don't get it.

Found this solution to this problem in another discussion on the forum, haven't tried it yet. Looks like a bug in the program and installation peculiar to Win 7 64 bit from the discussion...
