InDesign CC 7 crashes when network connection is lost.

Hi all,
I'm trying to troubleshoot an issue with InDesign CC7. I tend to work on documents from our server at work, and each time the network connection is interrupted (I undock my laptop to walk around, switchover from wireless to wired, brief hiccup in the lan, etc) and I have an InDesign document open, I recieve an error message from InDesign that I've lost the network connection to the document (fair enough).
When I acknowledge that message, InDesign becomes unresponsive and crashes. You'd think that as soon as the network connection is reestablished (usually a fraction of a second), the connection to the document would be reestablished, or at worst, I'd have to do it manually. When I restart InDesign, I usually am able to enter recovery mode and get my work back, but on occasion, I lose quite a substantial portion of my work. This has lead to inaccuracies and duplication, becasue I think I've taken information out of one portion of the manual and put it somewhere else, but in reality, the information I removed has been replaced during the recovery process.
I don't understand why the program crashes each time a network connection is lost. The obvious answer is to work locally and save on the network, but I shouldn't have to do that to keep the program from crashing. If anyone has any insight, please let me know. Thanks.

You may also want to edit the advanced power settings on your computer to not turn off the hard drives, not put the computer to sleep, etc.
You can get to these settings in windows by right clicking on your desktop, select personalize, then screen saver in the lower right. Now click on the "Change power settings" link towards the bottom, then change the plan settings for the plan that is currently in use. You will then see the "change advanced power settings" link. I'm sure there is an easier way to get to it, that is just how I always do it and I tend to be a creature of habit
**edit** the other way is Control Panel -> Power Options
And also be sure to configure your network adapter so that windows can't turn it off.
Here is a microsoft link with a handy fix-it tool to automatically turn off the network adapter power management settings:

Macbook crashes when internet connection is lost from cable modem

for the last couple of weeks Comcast internet has been failing at almost the same time every day - around 10am. i have spoken with them and they know they have a major problem in the area. the issue i have is that my MacBook Pro, when the internet goes down, completely crashes shutting itself down & restarting with that multi-language message that my 'computer has had a problem.' i have run every diagnostic, Disk Utility Repair, deleted applications, used Wifi, used ethernet, on and on and on...
most of the time, i cannot even restart the MacBook. if i disconnect ethernet or turn off WiFi - no problem. it goes through the startup flawlessly.
one other strange thing happening is i have two websites that will never completely load. no problem on the iPad or iPhone 6, only the MacBook. but these websites don't have to be open when the crash happens.
any ideas? i am running Yosemite 10.10.1. oh, and it happens when i am running Safari, Chrome or Foxfire, though it seems to happen a lot more since the last Safari update. thanks...

OK, for sake of argument:
1. Quit Safari
2. Check the ownership and permissions of Home -> Library -> Safari folder and write those down (click once on the folder and select Get Info from the File menu, and make sure the triangle is dropped down on Ownership and Permissions so all the privileges are shown).
3. Drag Home -> Library -> Safari to the desktop
4. Reopen Safari
See if the issue reproduces itself. If the issue doesn't reproduce itself, then it is something corrupt in the Safari info for your user. If it does reproduce itself, something is wrong with your user level internet settings or possibly Corefoundation settings which Safari is sensitive to.
You can always quit Safari and move back that folder to where it came from and make sure the permissions are retained.

Indesign CS3 error: "Network connection was lost..."

Hi
Anybody out there experiencing this error message when working in Indesign on Snow leopard? "Network connection was lost..."
Funny thing is the machine is not connected to a server or internet.
The indesign doc had been fine, saved it, closed it, reopened it and exported a pdf. When I went to re-open it, the error came.
Now, I read online that there have been issues with renaming docs, or folders, possibly with relocating them. Someone else suggested it may be a registry problem.
This problem is NOT fixed by trashing preferences or by repairing permissions or disk.
Thanks!

Hello Studio Guy,
I was just searching the forums to see if anyone else was experiencing the 'network connection was lost' issue from InDesign CS3 and came across your note.
Did you manage to find a solution for this?
We work on a network on PCs using Vista and we are getting this error message regularly and have no idea why.
Like you say this problem is NOT fixed by trashing preferences or by repairing permissions or disk.
Did you find a solution?
cheers,
A

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.

Network Connection Was Lost/InDesign Shutting Down

Having searched the good old internet for over a week to find a solution, I have failed miserably. Any other users of Creative Cloud 10.2.0.69 found a solution to the network disconnection and subsequent shut down of the software?
For Info:
This is happening on 2 separate Mac OS Mavericks 10.9.5
The files are stored on a Windows 2008 R2 server
Network speed is 1Gbps
Surely someone has solved this by now?

Hi John,
When network connectivity issues prevent any version of InDesign or InCopy from reading from or writing to open files, it performs a protective shutdown.
The shutdown can appear to be an application crash or unexpected quit. However, it is intentional behavior to protect from data loss.

How do I get inDesign to quit crashing when I try to open a damaged document?

Alright, I'm in a bit of a pinch and behind on deadline because of something completely random and out of the blue happening with inDesign. Here's what happened:
I was working on a magazine layout and printed out a PDF draft. The draft looked normal. I saved, shut my computer, walked away, and came back 30 minutes later to find that 9 pages had gone almost completely blank - even the locked layers were gone. I checked the layers and they were still locked. I thought my content had gotten erased somehow. Then I looked again and saw an overseer text symbol in the middle of one of the spreads. I clicked it and was able to enlarge it somewhat. Doing this gave me the spinning color wheel of doom (I have a Mac running off of Maverick now), and every little zoom and mouse movement gave this result that lasted about 3 minutes at a time. I tried saving again (got the spinning color wheel of doom), then shut down inDesign, and tried again. Same thing happened, only this time I got an automatic recovery notice when it opened. Everything else looked normal. I noticed that the content that had been squished was actually also at a skewed angle as well, like it had been rotated at some strange 3D plane. The story board would also expand to 10 times the normal size every time I tried to move the skewed, overset content. I shut everything down again and restarted my computer. Only this time, whenever I tried to open the problematic document, it would give me the auto recovery request, then promptly crash when I clicked "Yes" for auto recover. I tried multiple times now to open the document, thinking maybe I could just wipe those pages and start over again, but it crashes every time.
Nothing like this has ever happened to me before. I have no idea how this happened, and now it seems like I'm going to loose the entire document, about 40 hours of work. As far as I know, nobody else was near my computer in the 30 minutes it took me to shut it and open it back up again.
Help!
Can anybody shed some light onto this situation? Honestly, I'd be happy to just be able to open the document again so I can erase those problem pages and re-do them... I took screen shots of what inDesign was doing before it crashed:
Here you can see that the "P" in the upper left is all twisted, the same way my content is:
This is a zoomed-out image of how big the storyboard would become when I tried to tweak that overset text/ content...

You can try opening the file "as a copy" from the open dialog. You can also try the blind export to .idml: Adobe Community: InDesign 6 is crashing when attempting to open a particular document. All others are opening OK.
and there's a tool for Windows you can try, if you have access to a windows machine: INDDRecovery — a program for restoring corrupted InDesign documents
After that, it's a question of how much money you want to throw at it. Markzware.com has a paid recovery service that will probably work.

ITunes crashes when I connect my iPod to the PC when iTunes is running....

I have written about this problem before, but there have not been any successful solutions as of this date. I will explain my situation a little further and maybe someone can help.
Most of the time, when I connect my iPod to my pc while iTunes is running, the instance the iPod shows up on the library site, and whenever I move the cursor, iTunes crashes, so I have to close iTunes right away and try to disconnect my iPod. Most of the time, a message comes up that says info is being transferred to the ipod and that I shouldn't disconnet it at that time, but I usually go ahead because I know it isn't transferring at that time, since itunes has crashed.
Sometimes, after I have clicked on the first message to go ahead and disconnect my ipod, another messages comes up that says something to the effect of, "You can't disconnect because it is being used by another server at this time." So I click "OK" and then iTunes stays on for a few moments which gives me time to transfer a song or two, but then itunes crashes as soon as it finished transferring or before it finishes.
As anyone can imagine, this has really become a hugh problem. Having an iPod and not being able to use iTunes makes it very unhandy. I'm not able to add any new music or any of the playlists which i have been working on. Does anyone have a solution, or any suggestions as to what may be going on? It would be deeply appreciated.
I plan to restore my iPod in a day or two if I don't get a solution to this, but I don't have all of the music, videos, etc. that I have on the iPod since I removed much of it from iTunes to help the computer run faster. I had over 2000 items in the library, so it was pulling the pc down and it was taking forever to use the computer.
I am unable to use any of the software to transfer everything from my iPod to the iTunes library because of the problem with iTunes crashing when I connect the iPod, so this isn't a solution at this time.
Someone, please help!
HP Windows XP Using DSL for internet access

I suspect a hardware problem. But do the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
- Resore the iPid to factoery defaults/new iPod.
In the latter part of you post, I thin you ar sayng that you do not have a syning computer and the music is not on the computer. If so, do the following so you will not lose anthing (or very little) when you restore.
- Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Best iPod to PC
- Connect the iPod to the computer and right click on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Backup. This will make a backup so you can restore to the backup

Just started to update my phone to iSo5 when wireless connection was lost on my laptop, I can't get it back and it says there are no networks available-router is working fine, am using it on my iPhone now. Help!

I just updated itunes and started to update my phone to iSo5 when wireless connection was lost on my laptop, I can't get it back and it says there are no networks available-router is working fine, am using it on my iPhone now. Help!

Reboot your router. You by chance dont have a netgear N300 WNR2000 router do you? I had one of those and would lose wifi on it constantly, Switched to a Cisco wifi router and it works much better.

InDesign CC keeps crashing when I try to place any PDF's

InDesign CC keeps crashing when I try to place any PDF's - I'm running it on windows 7.0
I've tried several different PDFs all with the same result
Any ideas?

This sounds like it might have been a problem with the selected import options (for example, setting a crop option for a crop box that isn't actually defined in the PDF). These options are "sticky" until changed, so when you have a problem like this it's a good idea to try again and show the import options.

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.
