InDesign CC 2014 not opening. Tried many things.

I downloaded ID CC2014 but can't get it to open. Here's the basic lowdown:
MacBook Pro 16GB RAM 2.3 GHz i7 (Late 2013)
Running Mavericks
When I try to launch ID, I get the following error:
"Unable to launch Adobe InDesign as you do not have sufficient permissions to access the preferences folders. Ensure that you have appropriate permissions and then restart Adobe InDesign."
I went through quite a few forums, but have been unable to find the source of my issue. The one thing that I find most odd is that there aren't ANY folders for this version of ID in my preferences folder. I have them for versions I've run in the past, but not this version. Some of the solutions I've seen involve deleting the preferences folders, but they're not there to begin with!
I can get the app to open if I log in as a guest, but not under my primary user. Photoshop CC2014 and Illustrator CC2014 work fine and have preferences folders installed.
Suggestions? Ideas?

That did it. Thank you!
Sometimes the most obvious answers are the hardest to see.

Thankyou J.

I did a system restore on my system (Windows XP Pro) and cannot open Indesign CS3. When I tried the following error message appeared:
"The licensing subsystem has failed catastrophically. You must reinstall or call customer support."
I tried some of the suggestions here:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb402004
Indesign CS3 will not open so I cannot deactivate. The instructions say if you have an entire Suite installed, then you only need to deactivate from one application. But I cannot find deactivate anywhere in the other apps. Without deactivating, I cannot uninstall to reinstall.
There was no FLEXnet Licensing Service showing in services.
I tried renaming the FlexNet folder.
tried moving the cache.db file.
After trying these suggestions I now get the error:
"You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstall this product or contact Adobe customer support for help."
What next?

Hey you all, I have recently updated me iPhone 5 to iOS 7.1 and I checked my reminders built in app, and it seems like everything I had in there was lost. I have tried many things, but none seems to work. I can no longer add in any remainders.

Have you failed to regularly backup the device to iTunes or iCloud? If so, the data is gone.
If there are backups, restore the most current one from prior to the data disappearing.

First of all, thank you for replying so promptly to my posts this morning!
I can't remember how I got the software on his computer, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't through migration assistant.
I was looking into doing an uninstall of InDesign and a fresh install. However, I initially downloaded the CS5 suite digitally and I can't find out how I am able to perform a fresh install of InDesign. Do you know where I find this info or gain access to download just InDesign again? I can't seem to find anything in my Adobe account that shows where I might do another download.

My InDesign file will not open! URGENT!

Hi all,
One of my InDesign files will not open, when I attempt to open it, I get a message saying "Cannot open file, Adobe may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the format may be missing or the file may be open in another application." I'm not exactly sure what the issue is as I opened another one of my files previously and that one is still working fine. I'm using Windows 7, if anyone can help me I would really appreciate it.

Right-click the file and choose Open With, then notepad, and post a screen capture of the first dozen or so lines of text.
You can embed an image in a post using the coamra icon onthe web page, like this:

Did you restore a backup after you restored to factory settings? If you restored a backup, you should try restoring as new, but if hope that support already told you this.
Have you tried using another WiFi networK? Do you have a computer running iTunes? If so, can you download apps or music on the computer?

InDesign CS6 will not open

It launches for a few seconds then disappears without completing startup. The little launch screen says "calling early initializers" and "starting up service registry" before disappearing. I have tried the suggestions at http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-launch-issues-problems-cs5.html with no luck, including running the Adobe Support Advisor, which did not see any problems.
I have restarted the computer. I have tried opening InDesign directly from the application and also through different files. I have deleted recovery files. Not sure what else to do. And I'm on deadline for many things that require InDesign.

Please see Adobe Forums: InDesign CS5.5 Not Responding for direction on collecting and posting reports that will help diagnose the problem.

Indesign CC 2014 not functioning properly

I have a CS account, am on a PC running Indesign CC 2014 - last updated 14 days ago. Since then it has been acting sluggish. Maybe the 3D feature is using too much resources? Can I turn this option off?
Today the export function took 45 minutes to make a 2 page PDF file and none of my older files are showing up with the Indesign icon on them. I tried saving as IDML file & re-opening but no go.
Should I uninstall and re-install the program?

Yes, this did fix the problem in my case.
But I must add that I am not totally happy with the work-around. I had the text display jumped up to 125% for a reason. First the 1920 X 1080 resolution is "optimum" for my monitor. If I change it the OS gives me grief. I am getting on in my years and my vision is going south.
Also it seems significant that previous versions of Muse worked fine, as do other CC programs. So I hope that this problem will be fixed in a future release so this work-around won't be necessary.
I understand that update to 64-bit architecture and leaving the Adobe Air platform was a HUGE undertaking (the latter is not complete as I understand it). But maybe the release should have waited a but longer. I realize that I am no one to second guess Adobe's decisions. But it is a disappointment to me because you folks are a class act in so many respects.

SO Adobe please remove this Obsolete thingy Pretty please!

Hang logs don't mean a thing to me, unfortunately. We normally ask users to convert hangs to crashes using activity monitor, then post the crash log (see Adobe Forums: InDesign CS5.5 Not Responding), but at this point it's entirely moot since trashing the prefs solved your problem.

InDesign CS3 will not open after installing updates

Hello,
I am having a problem printing borderless with InDesign CS3. When my paper size is set on borderless my photos print very light. If Iremove the borderless setting the photos print fine.
In a effort to correct this problem I downloaded and installed updates for InDesign CS3 now InDesign will not open.

5.0.3 should not have installed after 5.0.4 (that's a problem with the installer), and it may have added problems. First things to try, though, before we get down to uninstalling and reinstalling again, are trashing the prefs (Replace Your Preferences), trying a new user account, and starting with extensions disabled (hold down the Shift key when you boot).
If it comes to reinstalling again, you should probably also run the cleaner tool (CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3) before reinstalling, and make sure you have the correct update which you can download again from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4029

Hyphenation in InDesign CC 2014 - not working

I can not get my hyphenation in InDesign CC 2014 to work. I have it selected in Paragraph styles. I have tried to select all the text and checked the hyphenate box. I have my language selected. I have tried to unistall InDesign and install it all over again. Delete the preferences. Well I think I have tried everything.
I am doing a layout for a book and it just terrifies me to have to manually hyphenate it.
Thanks in advance, Arna

Sorry for asking about things you've already tried, but until you tell us we don't know for sure, so I have to ask to get confirmation.
This is either a corrupt installation, a bug with the language (what happens if you temporarily select some other language?) or more likely a software conflict. We can check for the latter by turning off all non-Adobe plugins (including a font auto-activation plugin), and by restarting your Mac with extensions disabled by holding down the shift key while you start up. After the restart, try the hyphenation with nothing running except InDesign.
