How to update indesign cs5.5 to cs6?????

I have cs5.5 installed already, but I need cs6. How do I update? How come adobe never updates my software?

If you want to upgrade to CS6 you need to purchase it. Upgrades and updates are different things. CS5.5 is a different version entirely from CS6... CS6 is not an update for CS5.5. Chances are you have already received any upgrades for CS5.5 unless you inhibit them.

How do I update InDesign CS5 to get new plugins or Get a CS5.5 update.

How do I update InDesign CS5 to get new plugins or Get a CS5.5 update.

You probably don't. CS5.5 was a paid upgrade, not free, and it is no longer distributed by Adobe or resellers.

Upgrade only Indesign CS5.5 to CS6 (instead of whole Design Premium)

Hi,
is it possible to upgrade only my Indesign CS5.5 to CS6, instead of upgrading my whole Design Premium Suite?
I purchased the indesign-upgrade, but now I can't install it.
thanks!

you should contact adobe support. if anyone can help you upgrade from a suite to an individual producet, then can.
i don't believe they will be able to do that in which case you'll probably need to contact them about a refund.
so, in either case, contact adobe support: http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html

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
CS6 crash data: http://pastebin.com/dZP09DwP
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

How to set InDesign CS5 as the default in the system having InDesign CS4 has the default ?

How to set InDesign CS5 as the default .indd application when you have InDesign CS4 and CS5 installed and InDesign CS4 is the current default (InDesign CS4 was installed after CS5 installation)

Thanks, but I already tried it at first but it is not the effective method.
I think its because of the this reason :
Both - InDesign CS4 and InDesign CS5 have their application/program/exe named as "indesign.exe".
Installation of either InDesign CS4 or InDesign CS5, sets a Windows default path for the "indesign.exe". In this case, since InDesign CS4 was installed later (after InDesign CS5 was already installed), the "indesign.exe" which was directing InDesign CS5's "indesign.exe" was replaced by InDesign CS4's "indesign.exe".
But after long google and search through regedit, I've got the solution :
Locate HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\InDesign.Document\Shell\Open\Command in regedit
Change the value of (Default) attribute to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS5.5\InDesign.exe" "%1" // Include the quotes

InDesign CS5.5 to CS6 bug involving Tables

Hello
I am having issues when editing files that were created in InDesign CS5.5 with CS6, most specifically with Tables.
When I open a file created in CS5.5 with CS6 some of the tables are corrupted. When I try to edit the content in the corrupt tables or even resize the text frame, the table and all content below become overset. Even adding a single character causes overset. (the text frame and table cells are large enough to accommodate the changes)
I can edit the file in CS5.5 without any issues.
Saving the file as .idml doesn't fix the problem. When I do this and open the .idml in CS6 the corrupted tables have already shifted and caused an overset before I make any edits.
I've also tried:
- deleting all paragraph, character, and table styles
- pasting the content into a new file
The only way that fixed the problem was merging the table rows, but with the content we have this is definitely not ideal. The file is a multi page application form and we have more than one hundred similar files.
Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated.
-kvan

With every version there are changes to the text engine that affect composition. When you open a legacy file the changes are not made until you touch the text in some way. When you open a .idml file the changes are made at opening.

InDesign CS5.5 and CS6 Breachballs

I'm running OS-10.7.4 on a 2011 MBP.
About every 3rd time I try to open a document created in a previous version of InDsign I can the endless spinning breachball.
Force quit works but then, I must re-launch holding down shift key to tried to prevent InDesign form restoring from back up which alway causes a freeze.
Is there anyway to stop InDesign from trying to restore.
Or is that the fix for the unstable nature on InDesign CS5.5 and CS6?

How to get InDesign CS5 on computer after Aldus Pagemaker and Adobe Pagemaker disks destroyed byfire

More than 2 hours with "help" jackasses who can't speak English - and hang up or cut you off.
Have InDesign CS5. Had Aldus Pagemaker and then Adobe Pagemaker 5 and then 6. They were destroyed in a fire. Can't register the CS5 without the numbers. One of the Adobe "Help" types said they would email it to me - and that has NOT happened. Anothr told me I can't use it and have to get CS6.
Another told me it was easy - and then cut off the phone.
The three others I have talked with have been worse.
How do I put this damn program on the computer???

If your copy of Pagemaker is registered you can look up the serial number yourself on Adobe.com. You can find directions on how to do this at http://forums.adobe.com/message/3987968#3987968.

How to find InDesign CS5 application folder

Hello, I am trying to install our plug-in to InDesign CS5 plug-ins folder. Does anyone know how to find where InDesign CS5 is installed on Windows platform? I am looking for the App Paths registry entry which has worked for previous versions of InDesign, but it seems to me that CS5 does not update/add this App Paths entry. I tested on Windows XP and Windows 7, none has the entry.
Appreciate suggestions.
Thanks.

We are not using those classid keys. After some investigation, we figured out that the App Paths was removed by the removal of InDesign. What we did was to install CS5, then uninstalled CS4 in the lab. My guess is that since App Paths was first added by CS4, the removal of CS4 took the app path entry out even though CS5 installer did modify it to point to the new CS5 app location, which is what we wanted.
So for now, we left the installer the way it is, looking for App Path. If it turns out that people uninstall older versions quite often after installing the new version, we may have to revisit the subject.
Thanks for your help.

InDesign CS5.5 and CS6 Hang while opening document

hello,
I have the following problem:
Indesign CS5.5 CS6 and hang up several times a day when opening documents on. the user can not make more in the program and must kill the process. After reopening the document opens without problems (probably the recovery file). I have tried all known solutions (delete Preferences, user with admin privileges, delete caches, safe boot, ...)
here a hang report, which meanwhile has been created.
InDesign CS6 hang report - Pastebin.com
Can anyone see something in it and help me?

I can't open InDesign CS5 file in CS6

I created a document at work in CS5. I saved it as an INDD file and transferred it so I could work on it at home. However I have CS6 and whenever I try to open this file, my InDesign loads to about 80% and then just freezes. I can't do or click anything. It never crashes, just gets to the point where I have to ctrl+alt+dlt each time.
I am using a Windows 7 computer.
I need to finish this for tomorrow and I don't have access to InDesign CS5 at all to make it an IDML file or fix any fonts.
What do I do?

Try open as a copy, and/or the script at Adobe Community: InDesign 6 is crashing when attempting to open a particular document. All others are opening OK.

Using an indesign CS5 script in CS6

Is there a way to use a .jsxbin script that works in Indesign CS5 and 5.5 in CS6? I think in previous versions of Indesign you could place older scripts in a specific folder to get them to work, is there a similar setup for CS6?
Thanks

Thank you, Scott;
I'll give this a try when I return to class on Thursday. I am puzzled that other InD CS5 files have opened in CS4 after a message that "some data may be lost" - which I have clicked "OK", edited the file and emailed it back to school to open in CS5. Oh, well, if this works I'll use it on all the CS5 files that I create in class.
I appreciate your email.

InDesign CS5 and inCopy CS6 workflow problem

I've looked at other discussions and haven't found any to answer the question to our problem.
We are a small publishing company and we have license for roughly 7 inDesign CS5 copies that we purchased a year ago. We contract with outside editors to edit content for us using inCopy. For a year there hasn't been any problems. But any new contracted editor we now sign, which in turn purchases inCopy, we are having trouble with our files talking to one another. Any new contracted editors are only able to purchase CS6 inCopy. This leaves us with the problem of having inDesign CS5 on about 7 or so of our employees machines and 6-8 CS 5.5 InCopy on outside contracted editors and an additional 3-4 contracted editors with CS6 inCopy. When the editors with CS6 inCopy try to open files from our InDesign CS5, either they won’t open at all, or they will open, the editor works on the project for awhile, their program crashes and they are not able to recover (re-open) the files again. Which results in hours of lost work.
Has anyone else come across this problem? Is there a work around or a quick fix. We would hate to have to upgrade to CS6 for all of our in house copies of InDesign and then ask our outside editors what do have inCopy cs5.5 to upgrade to CS6.
If this is the case, when CS7 comes out, and we hire additional outside editors, will we continuously have to go through the process of upgrades again? This is too costly for use and our existing contracted editors.
Any thoughts are assistance would be appreciated.
This is one of the error messages received from an outside contracted editor using inCopy CS6. The file crashed after several hours of work, when the editor went to reopen the file, they received this error. Which looks to be a generic error code that doesn't tell us anything.

Hi Ruffus,
Unfortunately different versions of InDesign and InCopy do not work well with each other. Newer versions of the program should be able to open older files, but they cannot save backwards. I am not sure what is causing the errors with the newer versions of InCopy however.
Are you able to open the CS6 InCopy files on your computers?

Any other suggestions on how to stop Indesign CS5 from crashing?

Indesign CS5 was running fine on computer (mac 10.6.8) for a couple of years until a few months ago when it started crashing randomly, this has become progressively more frequent until it would crash at launch. So far I've:
Resolved font conflicts through Font Book.
Ran Disk Utility to repair permissions.
Deleted Indesign cache.
Uninstalled Creative Suite.
Deleted all Adobe preference files and cache on the HD and user profile.
Did a system search for anything Adobe and deleted this as well.
Reset the computers PRAM.
Reinstalled Creative Suite.
Installed all updates.
Opened Indesign and was working fine for a few minutes until I selected preferences from pull down menu and then it hung, crashed and is following the pattern as before...
I'm outta ideas on what to do, any suggestions?

Help>Extensions (or something along those lines)
Check to ensure you have no 3rd party plugins installed.
There's also the Clean Script for uninstalling Adobe applications
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
Surely something has changed on your system in the last few months, did you get any new peripherals or other things? Did you install any updates or have any other issues with other software/hardware?
