How do I resolve CS4 documents from crashing when saving or checking in stories with InCopy?

We have been having a persistent problem with InDesign CS4. After creating certain documents (off templates), they seems fine for hours, even days, but eventually, the time it takes to save increases and increases until eventually InDesign crashes. Though the work is recovered when the program restarts, attempting to save still causes the program to crash. The same crashing problem happens when trying to check in stories that have been placed using with InCopy. We have reset preferences and coordinated all the versions and serial numbers on our network to eliminate any conflict. Is there anything anyone can suggest? This has been goign on for more than a month and is seriously slowing our production cycle.
Thanks,

First, on the black bars.  I do not want them at all.  I cannnot post a screenshot now as
file attachments are turned off temporarily, but they are about 5% on either side.  Totally unacceptable especially when in CS3 when exported to Encore there are NO black bars either visible in Encore or in the resulting DVD's
On the options and is the preset saved.  I can close Encore and open it afresh and find the preset that I saved listed in the dropdown of presets with the name I saved it as and all the settings the way I want them.
On the issue of Transcode settings when selecting the resource...  When I select the resource in the Project panel, or in the Timeline tab, the Transcode settings is greyed out.  I have consulted the help screens and forums for various ways to change the transcode settings and none of the suggested ways work.
It looks like my CS4 install does not work the way yours does.  I am about to completely unistall CS4 and CS3 and all other Adobe products and try a fresh reinstall to see if that works.  Most likely I will simply reinstall CS#, since that works, and abandon CS4 for now as I am getting way behind on my work, and know I can finish with CS3.  I have also heard form others that Sony Vegas is really solid and does not have all these weird bugs such as seen in CS4 and CS5, and is a much less bloated product and does the encodings faster.  Since it is also less expensive, this seems too good to be true, but work a trial.  So first rip every Adobe product off  my PC and format the HD and start fress with JUST CS3 and get my work done.  Then try Vegas to see if it is as good as my buddies say, if so bye bye Adobe!

  • PPro CS4.1 often crashes when saving

    Hi there,
    I have Premiere Pro CS4.1 running on Win XP (32-bit) SP3.  I find that PPro frequently crashes when saving.  This happens about 1 in every 5 saves (and I save frequently so that translates into a crash about every 30 minutes!)  This is rather tedious.  Is anyone else finding that PPro CS4.1 crashes when saving?  I haven't noticed this problem in previous versions.  Any thoughts as to how to fix the problem?!?
    Many thanks,
    Jack

  • Dreamweaver CS5.5 crashes when saving link checker report in Results Window

    Select Top level of site. Right click. Select:Check Links > Entire Local Site.
    Report completes and displays in Results Window.
    Can scroll through the onscreen report and view Broken Links, External Links, and Orphan Files.
    However, when try to save, Dreamweaver crashes.
    Multiple users on my team with their own instances of Dreamweaver have experienced the same result.
    Have tried recreating preferences folder, rebooting, etc. etc.
    Any other ideas as how to proceed?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Exactly the same problem here. Started using Find and Replace on a html file which loads 2 css and  2 js files. Find and replace slows the program and finally it hangs. Restarting (and loosing all your prev work) worked a couple of times and then DW hangs when starting up. I couldn't do anything anymore.
    The solution, for me, was starting DW and immediately pressing the shift key. In that way DW opens clean, without the prev files.
    Up and running again.

  • How can I stop Firefox 34 from crashing when I click a button on the NOrton 360 toolbar??

    I have the latest Norton 360 and fully updated. Also have FF 34.05. After anywhere between an hour and 3 hours, clicking any of the Norton Toolbars buttons that open options and provide multiple log in options FF crashes and when I reopen it it brings up my old tabs and at the end it brings up the FF welcome screen. In the options, it changes my opening page to the Norton Welcome page and the option to open previous tabs which was there with open default site which now it the welcome screen. Need help as have tried several fixes from the net and none so far work. Have allowed FF to reinstall the pref file, have removed hardware acceleration as well as put flash into a non protected mode and none help.
    Don't know if it is a FF or Norton issue but, it is a real issue. Please help.

    Thanks for your quick turn around. I'd be surprised if corrupt files as I only got the machine last Thursday but, it was a refurb so perhaps issues from the previous owner.
    Do have some questions as follows:
    It is a Windows 8.1 64 machine so will the fix recommended work??
    looking at the page, appears option 2 is my best bet but, won't start until I get the go for Win 8.2. Assuming this is a good fix and since I would be doing it with the system and not a program, no malware??
    As far as drivers, do have a app from HP that updates drivers and I updated everything after I got it going so should have the latest drivers and I did try alone unclicking the machine acceleration and no change there but, with the scan, might help. I have run all of the Windows updates which were quite a few with a new computer and do have Windows set to perform automatic updates so don't think I need to worry about graphic drivers??
    Your thoughts on my questions before running the scan at the elevated admin level. By the way, I am the admin so do I simply run as admin or is there a higher thing I need to do to run at High Administrator???
    Also, if after I run the scan and repair, if OK on Win 8.1 should I send your results to Norton for them to look at since almost all of the problems are with Norton and perhaps they have a fix with those issues and having running the driver fix should help them?? Also will the scan and repair indicate what was fixed and what wasn't.
    Sorry so many questions but, don't want to mess up my new machine.
    Thanks so much,
    Dave

  • How to open document from mac when using windows without transferring the file?

    How can i open a document from mac when i am using windows without transferring it?

    depend on the document program more then anything else really
    when ever I open a doc with word it make a history for undo and redo action file in the same dir
    with bootcamp you only have read not write access to the osx partition so it would fail to be able to create that file
    but if you can get word or whatever program you use to open the file not to place a temp file in the same dir
    or use a program which did not make any type of temp file or used a program where the temp file would be located elsewhere where you decide it would work file

  • How do I stop Adobe Reader from crashing on my unprivileged user?

    I am running Windows 7 and I needed to create an unprivileged user on my computer. When I open a PDF file, it almost instantly crashes (I can view the document for about three seconds). If I simply open Adobe Reader without a PDF and click Edit -> Preferences, it crashes. If I open a PDF in any browser, it crashes.
    From what I have been able to surmise, it seems that Adobe Reader is trying to read the registry of my privileged user. I have tried uninstalling Adobe Reader, temporarily giving privileges to my unprivileged user, installing Adobe Reader on that user, and then remove the permissions, but the crash still occurs. The only way to stop Adobe Reader from crashing is to start the program as an administrator or change the account type to administrator. How do I stop Adobe Reader from crashing on my unprivileged user?

    It said "Adobe Reader has stopped working" soon after I opened it, but I was still able to scroll down the document. It was only once I pressed Close Program that it stopped working.
    Upon trying it a second time, it immediately stopped letting me scroll down when the program crashed. Here is the error log, I receive the exact same exception code every time:

  • How can I access xml document from javascript whithin a JSP page

    how can I access xml document from javascript whithin a JSP page?
    I have a JSP that receives an XML document from a JavaBean, so I can access it within the entire JSP, but I need to access it from the javascript inside the JSP... and I have no idea how i can do this.
    Thanks in advance!

    The solution would only work on MS IE browsers, as other browsers do not support an XML DOM.
    It can be done, but you would be stuck with using the Microsoft broswer. If that is acceptable, I have some example code, and a book recommendation.

  • How can I change a document from booklet to single pages

    How can I change a document from booklet to single pages?

    Very cumbersome.
    How many pages?
    Make a copy first.
    In Acrobat use the Crop tool to crop half the width. (Pages > Crop Pages.)
    For 11x17 to 8.5 x11  crop all even pages 8.5 left, all odd pages 8.5 right.
    Do you have InDesign?
    Create a new document correct to finished page size.
    (Use Import Multi Page script to) Place all pages offset by the proper page amount.
    Export new pdf.

  • How to create an XML document from a String.

    Can anyone help,
         In the Microsoft XML Document DOM there is a load function load(string) which will create an XML document, but now we are switching to Java and I do not know how to create and XML document from a string, this string �xml document� is passed to my program from a webservice and I need to read several xml elements form it in a web server.
    This string is a well formatted XML document:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

         <Country>

    </Countries>

    Thanks PC!
    I made it work using:
    DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
    DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
    factory.setIgnoringComments(true); // We want to ignore comments
    // Now use the factory to create a DOM parser
    DocumentBuilder parser = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
    //TransformThisStringBuffer is a string buffer wich contain the 'XML document (String)'
    InputStream in = new ByteArrayInputStream(TransformThisStringBuffer.toString().getBytes());
    // Parse the InputStream and build the document
    Document document = parser.parse(in);
    But which one is faster InputSource or InputStream, were would you put the "new InputSource(new StringReader(yourString))" in the above code?

  • How do I move a document from my MacBook Pro to my iPad?

    How do I move a document from my MacBook Pro to my iPad?

    What kind of document is it?  Keep in mind that you may need an app on the iPad to do anything with the document.  You can sync documents to particular apps by opening iTunes with your iPad connected, select the iPad in iTunes and click the Apps tab:
    Then scroll down to the File Sharing area, select the target app and drag a document to the Documents box.
    Alternately, you could use something like Dropbox to sync documents between your MBP and your iPad, as well as any other devices you like.

  • How do i upload a document from my MacBook Pro to iCloud?

    How do i upload a document from my MacBook Pro to iCloud?

    To get Pages Documents (and Word) to iCloud from your computer, log into iCloud.com and go to the iWork tab. Then copy that file to the page. Works with Numbers and, I think, Excel files too. But you can't copy any type of file you want to iCloud, it has to be one of the supported formats. Also, you need to have Pages/Numbers app on a device to allow syncing from iCloud to the device and to copy from Mac to iCloud.

  • Hi, I would like to know how can I recover a document from pages that I didn't save anytime and instead of clicking the button save I clicked the delete button at the end. Is there any way to recover it?

    Hi, I would like to know how can I recover a document from pages that I didn't save anytime and instead of saving the doc I clicked the delete button. Is there any way to recover it?

    Regardless of application, the first step that I take is to save and name the current document — even if it has no content yet. With Pages, this good habit enables autosave. As you add content, your document revision history is restorable via the File Revert To menu. The delete key has the same document foreboding as only teaching a pet raven to speak "Nevermore."
