CS6 Indesign - Crashes permanently and/or slow interface

Hello to the community,
we have 35 Mac OS 10.8.5 workstation on slightly different hardware.
We have always 8Gigs of RAM.
1.) CS 6 crashes permanently and / or the useage of the complete ID-interface slows extremly down.
Our Workaround for permantly Indesign-crash on user-account:
> Deleting ID-caches / Reboot > Indesign starts again
If we start ID6 without deleting caches and reboot the machine on the administrator account Indesign starts normally and works fine.
Why that ?
2.) If the Indesign-Interface slows down (which happens very often after using it for a while),
a change to the adminstrator-account solves the problem
> The indesign Interface works fast again.
But on the user-account u cant solve the problem ...
> It has no effect to delete the caches (and reboot).
> It has also no effect to set Indesign to default-parameters.
Solution:
reinstall Indesign >>> aftter working for one or two weeks the slow ID-interface comes back
deleting useraccount and make it new >>> it seems this solves the problem
Why that ?
Regards
Oliver

Without seeing the crash report (which you can post on pastebin.com, not here, and provide a link), it may well be a permissions issue. See Cant launch new inDesign CC | Adobe Community

CS6 InDesign crash on Windows 8

Whenever the TMP environment variable points to something else than %LOCALAPPPAT%\Temp CS6 InDesign will crash. My TMP and TEMP point to a RAMDRIVE for obvious reasons. To work around this bug in InDesign without changing your TMP variable do the following
Create a text file InDesign.cmd with the following content:
SET TMPTMP=%TMP%
SET TMP=%LOCALAPPDATA%\TEMP
start "ID" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS6\InDesign.exe" %1 %2 %3
SET TMP=%TMPTMP%
Store this file somewhere, for instance in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS6
Use it as default application to open indd files (right-click, Open with..., Look for another App on this PC)
In this way your TMP variable will not be affected and you can use InDesign

Go into your Performance preferences, Advanced Settings and set the drawing Mode to Basic as a workaround until good display drivers are made available.
Make sure to restart Photoshop.

Have you tried trashing your InDesign preferences:

Indesign CS6 Indesign crashes

Indesign CS6 - InDesign CS6 crashes on startup. I have a PC with Windows 7. The second time I start it, it works. Adobe should be able to fix this. It's been happening for maybe 14-16 months and is getting very frustrating.
Mike

There hasn't been a single file lost, because I know Windows and save after every edit.
It's a big annoyance I want to get rid off.
So please don't start the discussion whether I have time for random crashes or files losses, the answer is: NO.
But I also haven't got the time to sacrifice a working day to try and solve the crashing.
Rather provide me with possibilities I can enable/disable that you think might work.
Thank you , your help is appreciated!

CS6 Indesign crash on Mac since forced reboot

Good morning team,
I'm in big trouble since friday last week. I had to force a Mac reboot 'cause the whole desk was freezing (while moving some korean files to our fileserver). Since then I cannot open Indesign anymore.
I've had 2 files opened when my Mac crashed, one was already saved, the other wasn't. Im not sad about losing the savings, because I was just starting with a new layout. Anyhow, I need to run Indesign for my work again - immediately.
I've already tried any mentioned solutions, deleting the recovery files, renaming and deleting Indesign Defaults and SavedData, but nothing works. I hope you can help me find a solution, I have some deadlines today
Here's the log:

If you need any more informations, please just let me know. Thank you for help!

P.S. System is OSX 10.9.2

Will ID run in a new user account?
If it will, go back tot he old account and rename the Adobe Folders in the User Library, then copy them from the new account. If not, uninstall, run the cleaner tool( CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3) and reinstall.

All apps crashing constantly and very slow performance

Ever since the last major upgrade on my iphone (3G), I have been having progressively worse issues of crashing of all apps, including Mail, Maps, Safari and iTunes, as well as third party apps, as well extremely slow performance. Yesterday I tried for 5 minutes to load Maps and it kept crashing or freezing up.
<Edited by Host>

Thanks yes, I did restore and things did improve, but it's still slower than it was before and I've put far less on it than was before.

Imac crashes often and has slow load time. (maybe hard drive problems)

Ok, I'm currently using an Imac G5 17" with 2 gigs of ram. (one dimm from a third party)
Some times my I mac works fine, often times The computer will freeze up for 3 to 10 minutes or become completely frozen where I have to physically turn the computer off.
This happens randomly using various applications ( i tunes/ arkaos vj, word, photo shop) I will see the spinning color wheel (as if it's thinking) and sometimes there is a clicking sound coming from within the computer.
(if you take a one of those clicking ice tea caps and push down on it and then let go. You'll hear the sound that my computer is making. except it continues to make that sound for a few minutes or so.
I have had external hard drives that have made a similar clicking sound before they died. leading me to believe that the hard drive is going bad.
I was curious if any one else has ran into this problem or might know what is causing it.
thanks!!

Please back up your data ASAP! Your drive is dying and you should make a clone of your system (I use SuperDuper!) before it gives up the ghost entirely. Use a firewire external to clone to, then, when you get a new drive, you can simply reverse clone the data onto it and you'll be up and running.

InDesign CS6 Frequent Crashing on OS X Mavericks

Hi,
I recently installed OSX Mavericks only to find that InDesign CS6 frequently fails to launch, and also quits randomly once it does manage to launch.
Symptoms:
crash on launching InDesign CS6
InDesign crashes after a short but inconsitent period of time
crashes when Exporting to PDF, before the options dialogue appears
Getting a bit baffled, just wondering if anyone has some ideas. I also have CC installed and InDesign CC seems to function fine. CS6 was fine before installed OS X Mavericks.
So far I've tried the following:
checked and applied recent updates
checked the permissions of ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign/Version8.0/ are set to read/write and applied to all enclosed files and folders
resetting my system caches (i.e. Safe Boot)
cleared my font caches
reinstalled CS6
I've attached a report below, hopefully something might standout to someone.
http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=EkMH3AC1

Happy to report this seems to have resolved the problem. Thanks Bob.

First thing to try is to uninstall ID, run the cleaner tool and then
reinstall.

CS6 InDesign crash on Windows 8

I'm having a problem getting my pop ups in CS6 InDesign to work when I export to Acrobat.

I am creating pop ups in a CS6 InDesign Interactive design and when I export the file to Acrobat the pop ups will not work.
They work on the 1st page onlybut not in any other page in the interactive piece.
I started this document in CS5 and then converted it to CS6 half way through the design. Can any one tell me why this is happening and what can I do to remedy the problem?

InDesign crash.. I cannot undo or save. Please help me!

I was working on InDesignCS6, a document with just two pages.. and suddenly I cannot undo anymore, I tried to save the file but the option was grayed out. This problem occurs since I have a new iMac with MacOS 10.9.2. The only thing I can do when the program crashes this way is to export an IDML file but eventually InDesign crashes again and again. I've tried to reset the preferences but it didn't work. Can somebody please help me? this is driving me insane.

Export to .idml is the current workaround.

Photoshop CS6 keeps crashing. I am using a brand new IMAC, I have 16GB RAM recently updated as it was running slow with 8GB and lots of hardrive space. When it crashes, i lose all my presents and it changes my preferences, it also fails to save or produce a recovered file despite settings asking it to do so every 5 mins now. When i try to report the problem, it says it has found an issue and gives me a link to a solution....but wont let me click on the link.... PLEASE HELP! It's killing my productivity.

If the crash started right after you added RAM, it could be a bad Ram dimm. You can try this - change the amount of RAM in Photoshop to 4G, this should stop Photoshop from using the higher ram. If it doesn't crash, it's probably the ram. Or run a diagnostic app. You don't say when it crashes, what you're doing when it crashes - it there a pattern? Did it ever work on this computer? Did it work on your previous computer? Without a lot of data, it could be related to the new computer... What OS version? Did you recently update it? Have you updated Photoshop to the most recent update?
Do you have any plug-ins loaded? Try restarting Photoshop, and immediately press & hold the shfit key to turn off plug-ins.

When I save a CS6 InDesign file as an .idml file InDesign crashes and sends a report to Adobe.

When I save a CS6 InDesign file as an .idml file InDesign crashes and sends a report to Adobe.
When I restart InDesign the .idml file is in the directory as well as a locked InDesign file.
I cannot open the .idml file, instead I get the message:
Cannot open "" file. Adobe InDesign maynot support the file format,
a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing,
or the file may be open in another location.
I can however open an InDesign .idml file that was saved from InDesign CC software.
InDesign CC software is also unable to open the .idml file that I created in CS6.

It seems to be a corrupted IDML file. Does it happen with every file or only with that one.
What is the content of that file? Did you embed images or graphics or did you ink them? Size?
Maybe that this would help you: Re: InDesign 6 is crashing when attempting to open a particular document. All others are opening OK.

I'm using an older mac (2008 iMac). Things were getting slow and I used a program called DupZapper to get rid of a lot of duplicate files. It worked and my computer is running better. The only problem is now InDesign crashes at startup. I have the original disks and serial number (CS3) The error message is "required resources are missing". Same message if I try to uninstall. Any clues as to how to re-install?

reset your preferences and retry launching id: InDesign Help | Setting preferences
if that fails, uninstall (properly with the uninstaller), clean and reinstall per Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

Adobe InDesign CS5.5 and CS6 keep crashing

InDesign CS5.5 and CS6 keeps crashing while working on the documents. It's hard to identify the patteren when it's crashes. I deleted the SING/DataStore. Used FontNuke to clear all font caches but none of those helps. CS 5.5 and CS6 are installed on different macs but both crash.
CS5.5 crash data: http://pastebin.com/5PAx08tc

Thanks in advance.

I'm not an expert in reading crash reports, though I do recognze a few of the more common ones (which this is not). You read them from the top down, so the fisrt line in the crashed thread is the last thing it was doing before the crash. In the case of the CS6 crash you posted, the fisrts 8 lines of thread 0 are Apple code calls, and the last thing that was happening in ID had to do withteh Object Widget Library (I think that's what OWL stands for).
John Hawkinson is our real expert in this, but he doesn't come around this forum that much these days. You can gain some insight into reading the reports at Guide to Interpreting InDesign Crash Reports | InDesignSecrets
