InDesign CC 2014 won´t package my files

When I try to package my files with CC 2014 version, the procedure freezes after I click on "continue" at the Print Instructions. Then nothing appears but my file. Then I try to close the file and an error window appears showing a message that InDesign has to be launch again. It only happens with the 2014 version. I converted my files to "idml" to open and package them on the CC version. That's the only way I can package them. Thanks

Thanks for responding, much appreciated.
The fonts themselves are definitely ok. I have tested them without the '/' in the title and they package fine.
Example font is "SymbolITC Bk/Bd BT"
To test the font, I removed the "/" form the name, uploaded it as a new font, changed the font in the document and packaged it fine, so it has to be the name that is a problem - although it has never been an issue before.
We usually supply full packaged artwork with a high resolution pdf as standard. Printers can then adjust the artwork at production stage if they need to (colours etc) to get the best result. Also, I need to share files with other designers within our agency.
Ican work around this by removing the "/" but it would be very time consuming, and older jobs we may need to access and update in the future which use the "/" named fonts would not work and would have to be changed every time which is not ideal

InDesign CC 2014 won't download or install

I'm running OS X 10.6.8 (Mountain Lion?) on a 2011 17" MacBook Pro. I have the Design Standard CC subscription.
I'm getting InDesign CC 2014 Mac files from customers, and they won't open in InDesign CC.
I would install InDesign CC 2014, but don't see a Mac installer in the Adobe Application Manager. (It was automatically pushed and installed to my PC a couple of months ago.)
I suspect I need to upgrade my OS, but I've read that Yosemite is an Adobe-killer, so I'm not doing that!
Mavericks is supposed to be good for Adobe products, but I can't find an installer. Apparently it's no longer available in the Mac App store.
I have a work-around for now, but I can't be the only one with this problem!
We have only two Macs here in my office, both still running Mountain Lion.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Thanks, but I guess I was unclear.
I do have permission to install Apps. I have CC for Teams, I am the administrator.
My issue is that Indesign CC 2014 does not show up on my list of applications in the Application Manager on my Mac.
I also have CC on my PC. InDesign CC 2014 was automatically pushed to the App Manager, I installed it awhile back on my PC. But on my Mac, it's not even available to me.
I've researched it some, and it looks like InDD CC 2014 won't run in Mountain Lion (10.6.8) which would explain why it doesn't show up. Minimum specs = Mac OS X v10.7, v10.8, v10.9, or v10.10, according to Adobe. And I can't find a Mavericks (10.9) installer anywhere. And Yosemite is too new, I'm not going to beta test that.

Photoshop CC 2014 won't open any files, not even create new ones

I have a freshly installed version of Photoshop CC 2014 and it just won't open any single file no matter what I do. I also have Illustrator CC 2014 installed for the past week, and it is behaving fine, and even opening up the files that Photoshop won't open (jpg, psd, png, etc.).
I've tried uninstalling completely, and reinstalling it, and it still won't open any files. Basically, nothing happens after I click the "Open" button from the Open File dialog window.
I've also try resetting my user preferences using this video tutorial, and it also didn't resolve the problem: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/preference-file-names-locations-photoshop.html
Has anyone else experienced this or can give information on how to resolve it?
Thanks!

Well, I finally got it to work through trial and error. Here were the steps that I used to get it to work:
1) Make sure that you are not behind any firewall/VPN/etc, just a direct connection to the internet (if possible). I use Adobe for my work laptop, and I was informed that this could potentially be an issue during installation processes.
2) Uninstall Photoshop via the Creative Cloud application interface.
3) Right-click on the Creative Cloud icon from the system tray and "Quit" (it was automatically started for me from a previous bootup)
4) Right-click on the Creative Cloud desktop icon and choose "Run As Administrator"
5) Re-install Photoshop
After performing the above steps, I can now open any png/jpg/gif/etc file, as well as start a new file. I have no clue why it works or if my steps played any role in fixing it, but I thought it was worth sharing for others to try if they encounter a similar issue. It could be either the firewall I was behind, or the permissions (I don't think Creative Cloud boots up running as administrator). But I am in no position to say I know the exact resolution. Hope this helps!

InDesign CC won't package my files

InDesign CC won't pacakge my graphic files with the following error; "Cannot copy necessary linked file(s).
I have recenly upgraded to CC version of InDesign, using InCopy text files, have never expreienced any issues with packaging before.
I also tried saving back to InDesign CS6 and opening in that version, also with the same error.
Any thoughts or assistance would be greatly appriiciated.
regards
Peter

Still working on figuring this out. But here is a summary of all the issues I am having:
1. When I try to open an Indesign file I SOMETIMES get the following message and cannot open it. (I have correct permissions and the file is not open or locked)
Cannot open the document “filename”. You may not have permission or the document may be open already. For multi-use access, close the file and then lock it using the File . Get Info command in the Finder.
2. When I try to package in InDesign I get the following message: (despite all images definitely being linked)
ERROR: InDesign could not package the document ‘filename’. Cannot copy necessary file(s)
3. When I try to make a PDF in Indesign I get a box with this message:
1 problem (1 failure) was found with a background task
IN READ below says: “Export: ‘filename’ (1)
However, SOMETIMES it will make the PDF, but some or all images in the PDF are blank boxes. (without warning me)
5. IF I try to export a JPG, the file is blank, but I get no warning that images are not linked.
6. SOMETIMES when I try to drag an image onto an InDesign file I get this error message:
Cannot place this file. No filter found for requested operation
So far, we have used one file to make a bunch of tests, let's call it "filename." If I simply dragged the .indd file to the desktop, it does not help at all. If I drag the .indd and all it's links to the desktop, it will PDF and package just fine. If I take the Indesign file and all it's links and put it on the server in ONE folder (so basically the links aren't all over the place on the server, but in one spot), it will package and PDF just fine...
So, I'm still slightly clueless. My guess is it may be the server, but IT does not think that is the case. Could it be a combination of issues?

InDesign CC 2014 won't open.

Just installed Adobe InDesign 2014 CC yesterday on a brand new MacBook Pro. Today it won't open "because it is not responding." I tried uninstalling and reinstalling...no go. It is also preventing my computer from being able to shut down. I had just been transferring some CS 5.5 files from my old computer and converting them. I suspect it is a font issue, but not really sure. Totally at a loss as to what to do now. When I Force Quit, nothing happens.

Hi jesslucia2,
Are you facing issue opening files created on CC2014 on CC version, If yes then you can follow the following article. You have to save the files in IDML format in order to open them in older versions.
http://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/save-indesign-files-previous-versions.html
If you have CC version installed , you can also try to upgrade to CC2014 version from Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop App and open the files without any problem.
Thanks,

InDesign CC 2014 won't start - World record and a bug

Seems to be a common issue where InDesign won't start. All sorts of advice all over the Internet, much of it useless.
Spent a couple of hours trying various thing and finally found and deleted the PC preferences files.
Set a new world record: 126 copies of InDesign running at once.
One would think Adobe would write the program to let you know another instance is already running before launching it yet again.

OS?
Which CC 2014.?

Premiere CC 2014 won't recognise .m2ts files from project editied in CS5.5

Hi,
I'm trying to open a project I edited in Premiere CS5.5, but CC 2014 tells me .m2ts files aren't a 'supported compression type'.
They worked in CS5.5, why not now? All are Dolby rather than LCPM audio, shot with a Sony NX70 camera or an FS100.
Can you give me any alternative import workflow (that doesn't involve transcoding everything, and rebuilding clip by clip, preferably:-)! )
cheers
Scot
(16 year professional broadcast Premiere veteran!) (now going a bit mad...)

Well.... sort of... I was having a problem with old projects not recognising the .m2TS or .MTS files, and the same with importing to new projects. It seems to have disappeared with the last update, but now I have an issue with these files and with .MP4 files from my Canon XA20 either not dropping audio onto the timeline, or dropping audio but not the vision track. The workaround is to right click on the file and change the audio properties to 'adaptive'. Sometimes I have to set the interpret video setting to interlaced, upper field dominant, as premiere is occasionally seeing the files as progressive... and I only ever shoot interlaced. Weirdness.
Once I do this, the files happily insert on the timeline.

InDesign CC 2014 crashes seconds after opening file

Hi All,
I have an InDesign document that I have been working on recently, a large document with many links and placed vectors, however seconds after this file opens InDesign suddenly crashes.
We have the same problem on multiple Macs, and have tried separating the file from its linked files/images as well as document fonts, with no luck.
Is there a way we can convert this to an .idml or otherwise without paying over the odds for a company to recover this?
(I've seen people potentially sending Adobe the file to fix - would this be an option?)
Thanks,
Mark

Converting the .indd to .idml through scripts has fixed this issue.

InDesign CC 2014 Update

After installing InDesign CC 2014 Update my printer preset files are missing. Any way to recover them?

Try copying the InDesign Defaults file from the previous version -- that's where they live, or save them to an external file from the Printer Presets > Define... dialog in the old version and load them from the same dialog in the new one. See Replace Your Preferences

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).

InDesign CS5 won't package links. tried trashing pref and saving to idml. HELP

I've read some threads and tried trashing my preferences as well as exporting the file(s) to idml and going from there but I still get the error message that it cannot package the necessary links. I tested a file with just one link that I recently worked on and it packages, but the files I'm working on now, each of which has a number of links, won't package. Don't know what else to try.

OK. No illegal characters. I opened some links to check for locked files and it turns out that all of the files are "partially locked". This includes royalty-free images, client supplied images as well as images I took myself.
I went back to the last packaged version of this file (it's a quarterly publication divided into sections) and all of its previously collected links are partially locked, yet they had collected. I opened this previous version of the InDesign file that had packaged without issue, and when I tried to package it again, I got the error message.
There are still InDesign files not related to the publication that will package, and with links "partially locked", so I'm at a loss.

Help! InDesign won't package?

Yesterday, I was unable to collect and package my InDesign CC 2014 jobs. This has changed sin three days ago when I was packaging and collecting fine.
The error message reads: InDesign could not package the document 'ZIG-1029 FloorSysLit_12.indd'. Cannot copy necessary linked file(s)

Thanks, I am struggling with somebody else old files, I believe that was indeed the solution. I also upgraded to Yosemite

Can you select all Links in the Links Panel
Use the Flyout Menu on the top right of panel.
Choose "Utilities>Copy Links to"
And see if that works.
