InDesign CC 2014 - crash when using links

This issue started happening right after I updated to the CC 2014 version. I am using a Windows 7. I thought it was a memory issue so I make sure to have as little browser/program activity as possible - I noticed it happened more frequently if I was streaming music for example. I'm not sure if that is the problem though, because it just happened again and I didn't have much activity going on. I saved my illustrator documents, closed all the .ai files, then went into InDesign (with only 1 doc open) and updated a link that I changed, then I tried to re-link an image to a new file, was able to browse for the file, but once I clicked open I got the same error.
"InDesign has encountered a problem..." It tries to figure it out, but it doesn't, I do not even have an error code, and then I'm forced to close the program. Fortunately my document is restored in its last state.
Sometimes it crashes before I can browse for a file. Sometimes is happens when I go to Place a new file. Sometimes it happens when I update a link, or even just click on a link.
Again, I have been using InDesign CC for months without this crashing issue, so I'm pretty sure its a bug with the 2014 release.
Please fix it soon!! It's getting really annoying to re-open the program multiple times in one sitting!

Not that I am aware of. The only special font plug-in/program I know about is TypeKit, and I've rarely used it.
As for other programs, I can't think of any non-adobe plugin that might have an impact on Adobe.
Java? Wacom Tablet Plugin? I haven't used my tablet in weeks though.
I'm working on a Dell. The only other programs I had open at the time were Microsoft Outlook, and Gmail in my Chrome Browser.

Indesign CC 2014 crashes when printing to Fiery server

This is to remind Adobe that issues printing to Fiery print servers from Indesign CC 2014 (10.0 or 10.1) on Mac have not been resolved.
A patch has been provided here: InDesign & Illustrator | Crash while printing to Fiery RIP | MacOS --- however, the problem persists after patching. I should note that the fix at that link only pertains to Indesign 10.0. If you download Indesign 2014 from Creative Cloud you would, at this time, receive 10.1. That script will break 10.1 completely. There is no fix for 10.1.
The original thread for this discussion is here: Indesign CC 2014 crashes when printing It's marked 'Answered' and methinks the ongoing conversation there has been over-looked.
I am bumping this topic to keep the conversation fresh. If anyone else has found solutions to printing to Fiery from Indesign 10.x either by updating Fiery directly or with additional scripts or workarounds, please share them here.
I could publish one of my 10.1 crash logs if I could be advised which pieces are most important, or how to post the unabridged without spamming the forum.
That's the constructive bit. Here's my rant...
After speaking to Adobe on the phone, they tell me this isn't resolved yet because it affects only a small subset of people. I called some peers at other agencies across my region and learned they all use Indesign with Fiery servers. We are not an isolated few! (those fortunate individuals I spoke to are still using CS6 -- and I received some jovial ribbing for having my on-going CC subscription.) I have a lot of printing to do on the Fiery now that these projects are finishing, but i'm held up while down-saving these projects to be used in CC (9.x). Its frustrating, its time-consuming, and its simply unacceptable to CC subscribers as we move in to 2015. I urge Adobe to work with EFI to solve this problem once and for all.

InDesign CC 2014 crashes when creating alternative layouts

InDesign CC 2014 crashes when creating alternative layouts. I successfully created alternative layouts in 3 documents, now I cannot create any at all, it just crashes the program.

I just taught a class using Alternative Layouts in InDesign CC 2014 without crashing.
Start by telling us what kind of computer and operating system you're running. Are you having any other problems in InDesign CC 2014? Have you try restoring your preferences?

InDesign CC 2014 crashing when I try to update the links

InDesign CC 2014 isn't responding after I updated the links.
I replaced InDesign preferences, moved the missing links into the right file (instead of relinking). The problem is still there and Indesign still not responding. I had to press CMD+ALT+ESC to force to quit. Never had problems when I used InDesign CC and I'm experiencing a lot of trouble since I updated to CC 2014 version.
I'm working on MAC.
Any clue how to solve this?

Hi Laneway,
I can't reproduce that issue. Can we get more info? FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?
Thanks,
Kevin

InDesign CC 2014 crash when saving

I have a random issue where InDesign CC 2014.2 crashes randomly, but I can trigger it regularly when trying to Save to network. I've researched the error report Apple gives me, but there are no forums or solves that have worked. I've tried reinstalling CC, uninstalling only InDesign CC 2014, trashing my preferences, I even blanked the machine and loaded all my stuff back onto it and it still crashes. I've attached the link to the pastebin with the raw dump file. Please help, Adobe!

Are you saving across a network? It looks like it might be losing the connection.

Indesign CC 2014 crashes when duplicated pages within pages panel

running InDesign CC 2014 - mavericks 10.9.3. If I have content on say page one and within the pages panel I click and drag page one to the new page icon (something I do all the time to duplicate a page and it's content) it crashes InDesign. This is happening when I have copy pasted gradient mesh objects from illustrator to indesign. they paste in just fine, and I can copy paste those objects around, but not the whole page within the page panel

Hello march67,
Thanks for the test file. We could reproduce the crash.
We've identified the reason for the crash in your file. The problematic object is the RSS feed icon at the top right of the spread.
We've determined a fix for the crash and it should be available to all users in one of the upcoming patches. In the meanwhile, to prevent the crash, you could use the following workaround : Cut this object onto the clipboard. Duplicate the spread. Then paste the icon back in its place (Edit > Paste in Place).
Sorry for the trouble.
Thanks,
Ravi Kiran

Indesign CC 2014 crashes when printing

Print goes though but crashes every time on multiple files

Same problem here, crashes when finishing printing process, never happened before.
And no - it's not the driver or Mavericks - It functioned without problems before installing CC 2014,
except the rising amount of bugs in Indesign...

Has anyone else experienced InDesign CC and 2014 crashing when using Data Merge?

I have already tried the Shift+Ctrl+Alt+Cmd keystroke upon start-up and saying "yes" to clearing the preferences, but unlike previously where this solved the issue (a few months back, until Adobe released an update which meant this was no longer needed) this hasn't worked. I have also tried using both a CSV and a TXT file as the source file, same crash.
Anyone found a solution? I am using Mac OSX.9. Same thing happens on a colleagues Mac, so isn't my machine.

This is about all the information I could provide, hence why I was asking a general question. If I'd known what steps to take I wouldn't be asking. I have solved the problem, it seemed to be the InDesign file, not the data file.

Photoshop CC 2014 and Indesign CC 2014 crash when printing

Ever since I installed the CC 2014 versions of Indesign and Photoshop, I am absolutely incapable of printing. As soon as the print dialog comes up, the programs crash. (I don't have this issue with Illustrator CC 2014.) It's quite frustrating. Fortunately, I still have "regular' CC on my computer, so I can print Photoshop files from there. Indesign is a little more problematic because they keep changing the file structure, so i've basically abandoned CC 2014 until the printing issue is solved.
I run Windows 8.1 x64.
Has anyone else encountered this, and if so, how did you fix it (if at all). I can't seem to find any straightforward fixes when I do search, only others with comparable issues. Thanks.

I had the trial version for a month and everything worked fine but now since I've purchased a subscription I am experiencing the same situation with Photoshop CC 2014 and have not been able to find a solution.

InDesign CC plugin crashing when using std::stringstream

Hello,
We have a plugin for InDesign, for which we've been using the same code base since CS5. It has worked for CS5, CS5.5, and CS6.
We're currently porting it to CC and CC2014.
The CC2014 port appears to work correctly. However, the CC port crashes (segmentation fault) at InDesign startup.
We've been able to trace this to using a simple std::stringstream. The code goes something like this:
std::string getPIDString() {
     std::stringstream result;
     int pid = _getpid();
     result << pid; // segmentation fault here!
     return result.str();
The exact same code functions for all other versions of InDesign, from CS5 to CC 2014.
What could be going wrong here?

Not that I am aware of. The only special font plug-in/program I know about is TypeKit, and I've rarely used it.
As for other programs, I can't think of any non-adobe plugin that might have an impact on Adobe.
Java? Wacom Tablet Plugin? I haven't used my tablet in weeks though.

Fix for illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop crashing when using keys place

I suffered too long and couldn't find a solution under I read this. I wanted to pass it on to you so I can give back.
Everytime in illustrator when I tried to relink my files or place something, it would crash. In InDesign the same thing if I exported. I know there are many more, but those were the ones that I was using. Go here:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/402/kb402521.html
viola!!

Nini's probably right. But I remember having the same sort of trouble in Illy5. There was some sort of conflict between Acrobat and Illy so that when you had been using Acrobat and then switched back to Illy it became impossible to place images or select already placed images without Illy crashing. The crash was so pervasive that you had to restart your machine to get things back on track; it wasn't enough to just restart Illy. We never discovered the reason but the problem disappeared on upgrading to Illy6.

Premiere 2014 CC 2014 Crashing when re-linking project

Hi,
I have a very frustrating problem with Premiere being extremely unstable on one of our systems. We have a HP z820 2x Xeon e5, 32 GB Ram, Tesla 20c and Quaddro k5000, Separate SSD Boot and SSD render preview drive.
One issue is whenever I open a particular project to re-link it crashes. I've tried clean installing premiere, deleting prefs, deleting media cache files all numerous times.
Anyone got a solution or idea whats causing the instability?
Thanks,
Tom

Finally figured out the problem. Hope this helps other casual users like myself. Originally when I started editing I unlinked the video from audio to make some audio specific edits. This was a game play shoot of the board game only and talking heads were not in the shot. Once I finished the editing I linked the video audio tracks back together. After I inspected the timeline thoroughly by zooming in to check every edit I was out of sync on one of my edits and it had a red -4 on video and a plus +4 on audio right at the edge of the clips. After unlinking the tracks again the red numbers went away and sure enough had a successful export in H.264 after at least a dozen crashes. What's funny about this is I had a successful export with mpeg2 after continuous h.264 and flv crashes till this fix.

I am working on a file I created in Indesign CC 2014 and when I try to rearrange pages in the Pages menu or try to package the file, I get the spinning wheel for 20 mins. then it crashes. What should I do?

Can anyone help? I started a 24 page document in Indesign CC 2014 and have been using the file off of a dropbox acct on my two machines (desktop and macbook pro). I need to rearrange some of the pages but when I try to drag and drop the pages in the Pages menu, I get the ominous spinning wheel...for about 20 mins at times. then It will just crash. The document doesn't have a tone of images. I've also tried to collect and package the file but get the same thing.
What should I do?? Help!

try the script at Adobe Community: InDesign 6 is crashing when attempting to open a particular document. All others are opening OK.
I'd also try moving the pages to a new file, though I suspect that will crash too. Divide and conquer might work -- tray one of your operations on half the document at a time, then repeat by dividing any piece that fails, and so on, until you isolate a page, then use the same method to isolate an object (though it's possible you have a corrupt page).

After the latest Security Update 2012-001 (Mac OS X 10.6.8) my Adobe Photoshop CS 8, Dreamweaver 8, and InDesign CS programs crash when I try to save a file.

After the latest Security Update 2012-001 (Mac OS X 10.6.8) my Adobe Photoshop CS 8, Dreamweaver 8, and InDesign CS programs crash when I try to save a file. HELP!!!

Howdy,
Apparently some are reporting that this causes the older PowerPC (PPC) applications that are supported in 10.6 via 'Rosetta' to crash upon attempting to open/save/print using any dialog box, or fail in other similar ways such as simply not printing or quitting, or freezing/hanging/crashing of the application.
I have read of some companies that have indeed submitted proper bug reports to Apple, but that is not a guarantee of a bug-fix being issued.
You might wish to read:
http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/snowleopard/index.html#d02feb2012
If you are unsure if you are still using PowerPC apps, if the application is currently running, look under the 'Activity Monitior' (in Applications -> Utilities), or alternatively you could check in the System Profiler, Applications. Check the column "Type".
Here is a fairly simple way you can restore you system and restore you applications functionality again, if you don't have a recent clone or good Time Machine backup that you can restore from. If you do, restore from your backup prior to having installed the Security Update 2012-001.
Time Machine restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
If you are restoring a backup made by a Mac to the same Mac
With your backup drive connected, start up your Mac from the Lion recovery partition (Command-R at startup) or Mac OS X v10.6 installation disc. Then use the "Restore From Time Machine Backup" utility. Select the backup prior to your issues, and it will be restored back to the state it was in at that time.
If you can't easily restore from a backup, you can instead do the following:
- You first start by reinstalling your OS X 10.6.x, this will preserve all your user data, your applications, no worries there.
- Then install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 (links provided below)
- Make sure you're printers are showing up correctly in your system preferences, if not, re-add the printers
- Then finally, run the Apple Software Update (by pulling down the Apple Menu), and install any and all remaining updates, except do not then re-install the Security Update 2012-001. It is possible that you may have to reboot after installing some of the updates, and you may even need to run it a 2nd time to make sure that you've got all updates, except NOT the Security Update 2012-001.
Links for 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1:

or the link to directly download this 1.09GB combo updater:

InDesign CC 2014 crashing, non stop.

I updated InDesign CC 2014 yesterday and it's been crashing, non-stop ever since.
Here's a report:
Indesign CC 2014 crash report - Pastebin.com

It has been well over a month and this issue persists. There's no specific file that makes it happen. There's no particular software that conflicts, as it crashes when ID is the only thing running. Again, my job is at stake right now. Can someone please help me with why I can't keep ID CC 2014 open? Here is a link to one of the many crash reports, just from today:
