InDesign CC crashing when editing typography

Hey everybody,
I have a big problem with my InDesign CC. Lots of my documents work fine as long as I start them from the beginning and keep inside them. But when I save them, and want to edit them later again it happens a lot of times, that InDesign is shutting down for no reason. I made a short Video documenting what happens every time:

Anyone could help me how to fix this?
Thank you!

P.S. Sorry for my english, I'm from Germany, so english is not my best language to communicate

InDesign CS6 crashes when editing TOC

I have an INDD C6 file with a TOC that I created for a print book. I am now making the eBook version of the file. I saved the print book file under a new name. Please note, this is a regular InDesign file (INDD) -- not a Book file (INDB).
I am trying to edit the TOC style. I select "Layout" > "Table of Contents..." I change "Page Number" selection to "No Page Number". I click "Save Style" button. I give the style a new name. But when I click "OK" InDesign crashes. I have tried to make this simple edit countless times. I have quit out of InDesign and relaunched it. I have restarted my Mac. I even tried to manually delete the page numbers in the TOC but that caused InDesign to crash as well.
I have to have an unnumbered TOC for my eBook. Any suggestions on what to do?
thanks,
Lenora

See Remove minor corruption by exporting
And keep in mind that you can have multiple TOCs and TOC styles in the same file, so you could try making a completely new TOC.

Indesign CS5 crashes when deleting an index

Hi,
Indesign CS5 crashes when deleting an index.
Thanks for your help.

the only successful importing the idml-file was in cs4, but there was the problem with the change of layout.
Sounds like the .idml was created in CS5 an opened in CS4. Is that correct? You'd lose unsupported CS5 features and that might result in some layout changes, but I wouldn't expect formatting changes, which you implied originally.
There are quite a few reports now of problems converting legacy files to CS5. I've not had any in my own work, but I haven't tried to update a lot of stuff. I wouldn't for example, switch versions near the end of a project, but would finish up in the original version to avoid any potential issues. Exporting from CS4 to either.inx or .idml and opening that in CS5 may give better results than opeing the CS4 .indd directly.
Since you've already done the conversion, and considerable editing, I'm not sure what to tell you. You could try exporting the text to InDesign Tagged Text, then place that into a new file. Copy/Paste in Place any graphic content.

Illustrator CC 17.1.0 crashes when editing preferences, user interface. Running on MacBook Pro i7 OSX 10.9.5

Illustrator CC 17.1.0 running on MacBook Pro i7 OSX 10.9.5 - crashes when editing preferences, user interface. Also crashes when quitting application. Anybody any ideas?

While 2 GB is the absolute minimum to install Mavericks, if you want to do anything with the Mac you need more then that. Upgrade your RAM.
Until you upgrade the RAM seriously consider shutting down the Mac nightly. You should also seriously review the items in the User Login Items to see if there are any there that you really don't need to have startup with your login to reduce the amount of RAM you are using.

What is the problem? I worked fine before.

Provide the exact crash info and explain, what you are actually trying to do when the crash occurs. What tool or feature do you use? What kind of image are you working on?

InDesign cs6 crashes when exporting objects with drop shadows to interactive PDF

I am using the trial version of InDesign CS6 on a mac OSX 10.7.4 I need to export my document as an interactive PDF. I have found that the export works fine so long as none of the objects within my document have a drop shadow. However, if I add a drop shadow to any object (text, images, or video) InDesign will crash when I try to export. I am adding the drop shadow by selecting the object and then choosing Object > Effects > Drop Shadow. Is there another method I should be using to add the shadow if I want to export to an Interactive PDF?

Hi Peter, thanks for the response. Yes, I have tried creating a new blank project and adding one text object with a drop shadow and then exporting to Interactive PDF, and I experienced the same result. I tried replacing my preferences as you suggested and found that it did not have any affect.
I continued developing my InDesign document without using any drop shadows and began to experience the same type of crashing under two more circumstances. 1. When relinking assets in my Links panel. 2. When exporting to interactive PDF with interactive objects that are being clipped (I get a warning telling me I have clipped objects before I export; when I click export I experience the same crash.) I have tried exporting the same file to a print (non-interactive) PDF and experienced no crashing.
I thought I should mention that I am using a retina display mac book pro with 16GB RAM. Could my graphics cards or the configureation of my machine be causing my issue?
Thanks so much,

InDesign CS6 crashes when I try to copy a graphic

I am working in CS6 with a document that was converted from CS4. I want to move a graphic from one spot in the document to another, but when I try to copy it, InDesign immediately crashes. Has anyone else had this problem?
I am working on a PC, and I believe the original file was created on a Mac.

It turns out the culprit was a bad font in the image. I opened the image in Illustrator and converted the font to outlines. That solved the problem! Incidentally, this one image/font problem (this image is used in a couple different manuals) also was causing InDesign to crash when I exported to PDF.
Adobe people, if you read this, it would be great if problematic fonts in images were detected by InDesign, like an error in the preflight panel similar to the linking and font errors currently there. I can't see a way to detect this easily now (how to narrow down which image is a problem when working with 50+ images in a document?) Is there a way that I don't know about?

My indesign keeps crashing when I type in a text box

Hello
My indesign keeps crashing when ever I start typing in a text box (CS5) - I followed a similar discussion and the advice was to uninstall and reinstall - I have uninstalled but cannnot find my Master collection to re-install. I'm working on a Mac Leopard - Please Help

I'm a Widows guy with some Mac experience, so these directions may be a bit fuzzy, and someone else may feel free to pop in. My recollection is that you will need to double-click both of the .dmg files (these are disk image files) to mount them, if they don't mount automatically. You may have to decompress the first file further to get it to extract the installer (which should automatically extract the second file). If you are able to run the installer, and enter your serial number, but the number is not recognized as valid it will be because there is some sort of trap for education serial numbers.
If that's the case, you are probably out of luck on CS5, but you may be eligible to upgrade to a full commercial license for CS6, or a discounted Creative Cloud license. I'm not dead certain, but I believe the old serial number should be sufficient to to provide proof of previous license during the install. If that's the route you need to take, you need to do it quickly. Once CS7 is released, and predictions seem to be in about ten days to two weeks from now, at least for an official launch date announcement, your CS5 will probably no longer be good for an upgrade discount.

Adobe Indesign CS4 Crashing When Printing To HP OfficeJet Pro 8500

Adobe Indesign in crashing when I select print. The only printer I have is the OfficeJet Pro 8500 (A909g) I am running the latest version of OS. (OS 10.10.1) I have uninstalled Indesign and reinstalled it from my disc. There is no update to the version I loaded. (There are newer versions of Indesign and Creative Suite) I reset the printers in system preferences. I have checked Software Update to make sure I have the latest driver. I am running Indesign on my other computer using OS 10.10.1 so I doubt that is an issue. Other Adobe software prints fine. All other programs that I have print fine as far as I can tell. I have run diagnostic software without success.

Hi,
Adobe might be a better resource to check a such, as any other application work as expected as you mention.
by checking its system requirements, it seems as CS4 is incompatible with Yosemite and that may explain a such:

As I can see only InDesign CC (2014) is compatible with Yosemite.
I would suggest trying InDesign's support communities below, there are more expertize users for a such:

PS CC crashes when editing panoramas or HDR made in LR CC from pictures taken by iPhone 5c.

PS CC 2014 crashes when editing panoramas or HDR made in LR CC from pictures taken by iPhone 5c. It is consistent. I have tried several different settings but does not get this to work. Seems like the import from LR to PS is not working as good as it did with LR 5 and CC2014. Anyone else seen anything like this? / Ola

Hi again,
I have deinstalled all versions of PS and reinstalled CC 2014. Updated the Graphic driver to the latest version. The system configuration is given below, processor etc. After reinstallation I have tried several combinations of import from LR to PS. It does not matter if it is a dng or a NEF raw file PS keeps crashing when I try to edit the imported file. See attached screen dump. Stressful… I have now tried everything I can think of and nothing has improved the situation so far. / Thanks Ola

Indesign CS5 Crashes When Exporting Layer to Incopy

I had a designer who emailed me last week stating she was having problems with Indesign CS5 crashing when she exported her text layer to Incopy. I thought it might just be her machine; however, I've experienced the same problem today five times. Is this a known issue? Has anyone else experienced this? I'm in Indesign CS5 (7.0.3).

Iphoto crashes when editing scans

Hi,
I have scanned some old family photos and I am now trying to edit them (they are jpeg files). I've read many of the posts here and have followed every advice (newest iphoto version, rebuilt library, etc.....) Then I built the new library with a few of the scans imported and a few "regular" photos. Iphoto still crashes when trying to edit scans, but seems to be doing ok when editing the "regular" photos. Any advice?

As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos or each, both the b/w and color scans and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it? It you don't crash when editing in the test library then your current library is damaged.
If that's the case apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Frequent crashes when editing master pages in FM 11

I've been creating new templates in FM 11.0.1.382, and am getting a lot of crashes when editing master pages. Like after every few edits, FM crashes either when I make an edit or save the file. Usually, it's the "FrameMaker 11 has stopped working" crash. Browsing the web I see that others are having this trouble too, and some have sent Adobe information about their crashes.
Just wondering if there's any way to fix this at my end. I'm on Windows 7.
Thanks,
Tami

A couple things to check. First, your patches aren't up to date -- current
rev is .384 I think, so you may want to roll that latest patch on board.
And second, it's possible there's a network permissions issue. I'd suggest
copying the template files locally and making sure that you own the files
with full permissions.
FM often crashes when it encounters an unusual network or permissions
problem where it doesn't know what to do, and from the symptoms you're
reporting, I think that may be a factor -- just a WAG.
Cheers,
Art
