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.?

  • Indesign CS5.5 won't start

    Hi,
    My Indesign CS5.5 won't start. Gets to 'Initialising' then 'Adobe Indesign has stopped working' I've tried reinstalling, then uninstalling all programs in the suite, then reinstalling, then uninstalling & reinstalling just Indesign, then using the Cleanup tool. Nothing worked. Any clues please?
    Thanks

    Hi Eugene, Peter,
    Thanks for your tips. I had some trouble actually finding those files, but I eventually moved the caches to the desktop and that fixed the problem. All going well now, thankyou.
    BTW in the process a couple of other faults were fixed as well:
    'Open recent' wasn't working and occasionally no image was loading on the screen so thanks again!
    Regards

  • Ibook G4 - won't start up, spins, and shuts down... disk utility repair...

    ibook G4 - won't start up, spins, and shuts down... disk utility repair quits. says "invalid sibling link" "volume check failed" "1 volume could not be repaired because of an error" "the underlying task reported failure on exit"
    any ideas about how to start and/or recover data ??
    thanks

    Hi chesterday, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    You must repair the HD, your best bet is DiskWarrior from Alsoft...
    http://www.alsoft.com/DiskWarrior/
    You'll need the CD though.
    Unfortunately, Disk Utility can't fix all that much, and the only other Apple Options are erasing the HD, or installing OSX to a second drive, then using Migration Assistant to move stuff over to the new HD.

  • Indesign 9.1 won't start after 9.2 patch failed

    I am running a Windows 7 system with CC and CS6 aps.
    I tried installing the latest June 2014 update. It apparently applied correctly to ID CC6 but failed on ID CC. I reapplied it (2nd failure) and tried to start ID CC(64bit) but something broke and now startup gets to "Calling Late initializers" and Windows shuts it down with an "Adobe InDesign has stopped working" message.
    Indesign (32bit) starts OK. Other CC aps start OK.
    I have tried everything I could think of to clear this:
    Delete preferences and restart
    Sign in/out of CC
    Reboot
    Uninstall/reinstall (multiple times over a slow DSL connection. <sigh>)
    Verify ID CC(64bit) fails in W7 safe mode (It does)
    Restore to an earlier point via W7 restore.
    As this is an install on a second machine I compared the files in C:\Users{user}\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe InDesign\9.1 in the good install with the bad install and moved/renamed everything that was different.
    I tried running the CC cleaner tool. If I uninstall InDesign CC it is not in the list of programs in the CC cleaner tool. If I don't uninstall it then CC cleaner wants to clear the uninstall files. I don't think that's what I want to do.
    Nothing has helped.
    I do have a current system partition image backup I can restore from but I would prefer to not do anything that drastic if it can be avoided.
    (I am aware this is probably two separate problems: 1) 9.2 won't apply to ID CC and 9.1 (64bit) won't start. Right now I just want to get 9.1 to start..)
    (This was also posted in the InDesign forum assuming folks there would be more familiar with InDesign installs but it was suggested I post here. I apologize for the duplication.)
    Thanks for any help

    Thanks for letting me know I'm not the only one with this problem! If it's been reported then I won't bother Adobe but just wait for a fix
    Yes, I found out Indd 32 bit will indeed start.
    While I have a recent system partition image file I could restore from, it would seem if others are seeing this then there isn't much point, the problem would probably return when I did the patch.
    Strangely, another W7 machine accepted both patches without a problem.
    Thanks again for taking the time to answer.

  • 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 start but  I see Photoshop.exe running in Task Manager!

    I just updated Photoshop CC 2014 today - October 6, 2014, and it won't start. I does not give any warnings or errors. Windows 7 Pro. If I check Windows Task Manager, I see Photoshop.exe running, but it never opens on my desktop.

    Just so anyone that sees this will know the sequence of events:
    I updated Photoshop CC 2014 and many other CC updates today
    I restarted my machine (Windows 7 Pro)
    Clicked Photoshop Start Icon
    Photoshop did not start, but Photoshop.exe appears in Windows Task Manager (WTM) under Processes tab (approx. 8 MB of Memory used)
    If I click Photoshop Start Icon multiple times, multiple EXEs appear in WTM
    Tried right-clicking Photoshop.exe(s) and Ending Processes, then Running Photoshop again (same result)
    Restarted my machine a second time
    Now Photoshop CC 2014 runs
    I will add an update here if things change.
    Thanks for the help everyone!

  • My MacBook won't start up properly, and I suspect it may be the result of a power surge due to faulty wiring in my apartment.  Is this the kind of thing that can typically be repaired, and if so, at what price?

    My MacBook won't start properly.  It seems to run, but the screen won't light.  I suspect the cause is a power surge due to faulty wiring in my apartment.  Is this the kind of thing that can typically be repaired, and if so, at what price?

    you need to bring it somewhere so it can be determined exactly what is wrong with it and then an estimate can be provided.

  • My brand new iMac won't start up now and I've only had it 3 weeks...

    my brand new iMac has worked for 3 weeks, then all of the sudden won't start. It shows the apple icon and the spinning wheel but never gets past that screen. We already formatted our old iMac to sell it so I really need to recover this. Any ideas on how to get it to get past this screen? I already tried safe mode but it went to this apple logo and spinning wheel icon after the bar

  • G4 won't start after sleep and power disonnect

    Hi,
    I recently put my MDD G4 to sleep, then inadvertantly cut the power to the machine. Now it won't start up. I push the start button, it lights up as long as I'm holding it (firmly), but nothing happens. No fan, no screen, nothing. I've tried unplugging. There are no devices connected other than display and keyboard.
    I'd be grateful for suggestions!
    Thanks,

    MDD G4 1.25GHz - 1GB RAM Mac OS X (10.3.9)

    You could also have a bad PRAM battery. I would check it. When mine went, I had no response from my Mac at all; just a light on my power button; absolutely no boot at all.
    Check out things in Texas Mac Mans tutorial on the subject. His tutorial is a little dated (don't believe it even mentions G5's) but the info in it, except SMU not being included, still applies. The PMU reset is discussed in there too.

  • 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,

  • Illustrator CC 2014 won't start anymore, Windows 7

    Illustrator CC 2014 has been working fine ever since I installed it up until 2 days ago. I tried to open the program and it showed a box with "Could not complete the requested operation". I saw there was an update available so I installed that and now it shows the initial picture from starting but then pops the same box up and when I click close it closes the starting image and is done. I did install some Windows Updates earlier that day. I have since uninstalled ALL the updates from that day and I'm still getting the same thing. All my other Adobe programs are still working correctly, including AI CC, AI CS6, PS CC, PS CC 2014 and Premiere Pro CC 2014.
    I also tried removing the "en_US" preferences folder. That didn't fix the problem either, but it does get far enough during starting to make a new "en_US" folder.
    PLEASE HELP!!! I have searched everywhere with no luck for this problem with Windows, only MAC.

    Hello Ashli315,
    Did you install any 3rd party plugins to your AICC 2014 installation? Or did you install any software say any font management software which might be causing the clash. Or was there any Windows update which got installed after which the crash started happening?
    Thanks!

  • Photoshop CC 2014 won't start while any other 2014 apps do

    After the 2014 update, I've used PS for a while, first in polish (as CC app updated it changed my language to polish. I'm used to english so I've uninstalled PL versions, and installed the proper EN ones), than in english. Point is it worked. I didn't change anything since then, but suddenly PS just refused to launch. I click the icon, but nothing happens. Restarts won't work. I've updated my Nvidia drivers today, but it didn't help. Every other Adobe app run just fine, including the pre 2014 update PS. I use Windows 8.1

    Oh, Thank you very much. I was download ur file and installed it but it doesn't work. After that I restart the computer and open CC again and click update all, it's work ! My app continue to update. Tnk u very much
    Hope others see this post.
