InDesign CC freezes when packaging files.

InDesign CC freezes when packaging files. Just spinning beachball. Need to Force Quit. Tried resetting Prefs at startup (holding down keys), but no change. Looking for path to  Default and Data files, but not finding them in Library. (D'oh!) Downloaded most recent CC versionlast night. Any ideas or should I try CC (2014)

Hi Pam,
I would certainly give CC2014 a try.
Other than that, make sure there’s no illegal characters like slashes in the file or folder names and that the path is not too long.

  • InDesign Freeze when "Packaging" files.

    New Mac with Snow Leopard, 10.6.6 Just updated to CS5. "Packaging" will not complete on some documents (at least two files so far) if I ask it to gather the fonts as well. The same files works fine in CS4. Fonts are not protected.
    I use FontAgent Pro 4.0.3 to handle fonts. I've flushed all font caches with Cocktail 4.8. Still no cigar.
    Anybody else seen this behavior?
    Thanks.

    I am getting the exact same problem. Upgraded to 7.0.3 as well. Packaging my current document always freezes InDesign, and upon restarting it opens two versions of the same document as though there are two separate aliases. Packaging progress gets just to the very end of the progress bar, a folder does get created with the links and fonts subfolders, and an INDD file is created (but cannot be opened). InDesign doesn't budge once the progress bar freezes, and a force quit is required. I've been able to package several others prior to this in the past week. I'll try a few things with the document itself.

  • Why does InDesign CS5 hang when packaging files?

    When ever I go to "package" a file, it gets to about 95% complete and hangs. Although the file and all associated fonts and images does appear to have been packaged, I have to force-quit and re-start indesign. I'm on a Mac using OS X 10.6.8.

    When it hangs, run Activity Monitor, select InDesign, and run Sample Process. You'll get a report. Upload it to http://pastebin.com/.
    Then, chose View > Send Signal: Abort (SIGABRT). You'll get a crash report. Upload that to http://pastebin.com, too.
    Post both URLs here, we'll tell you why it hung.

  • InDesign CS5 freezes when exporting file as PDF

    InDesign CS5 (7.0.4) run on iMac (OS 10.7.5).
    I find that when exporting a document as PDF InDesign suddenly and randomly freezes at some point during the export process.
    The only option is to force quit InDesign.
    On relaunch InDesign has forgotten all the presets I had saved (eg Document Preset, Preflight Profile).
    This happens fairly frequently but I cannot find a pattern to it or an obvious cause.
    Thanks in advance or any help anyone can offer!!

  • Indesign CS4 freezes when I export to InCopy CS4 or when I update an InCopy File

    Indesign CS4 freezes when I export to InCopy or when I update an InCopy CS4 File. I have done some of the troubleshooting steps already and have already re-installed and re-updated through Adobe Updater. But the problem still exists. Anyone have any patches or fixes? Or have had the same issue and fixed it?

  • InDesign CS5 Freezes when opening up a new document.

    Hi there. I've been having problems for well over five days to a week now with InDesign CS5.
    Both Photoshop and Illustrator work perfectly without any issues. But my InDesign will freeze every time I try to open any file. Or if I try to create a new document. If I don't try to open a file or make a new document, I can customize pallets, and edit other parts of the InDesign. It will then freeze up if I try to open up a new file document, or even when trying to open a document onto InDesign. Since the Deadly Beachball (loading cursor) comes up, I have to manually force quit it.
    I've reinstalled the InDesign CS5 three times - all came out as the same outcome.
    Adobe Support Advisor has not detected any problems with InDesign when I must force quit it.
    I've updated all CS5 with the Application Manager.
    Downloading CS.5 off the website and as well as Download Assistant has "failed to initalize" when trying to install it.
    Is there any reason why InDesign continuously freezes every time I try to open it? Help would be nice.

    Try removing your auto-activation plugins for font management, Extensis Suitcase Fusion seems to be generating a lot of this stuff.
    If that's not it, well, instead of force quit, run Activity Monitor and garner:
    1: Sample Process. Save to file
    2. View > Send Signal: Abort (SIGABRT). This will force a crash and crash report.
    Upload both files to http://pastebin.com/ and post a link here. Don't paste them in here, it makes the forum unnavigable.
    I'll look at them and tell you the cause of the crash (probably).

  • InDesign CS5 Crashes when packaging

    I am repeatedly getting the spinning rainbow with InDesign "not responding" when I try to package files for printing. Yes, they are fairly large, but CS4 handled files like this with absolutely no problem. I have checked the fonts, even purchasing a new set to replace a .ttf that I was using in the documents. Why would CS5 have trouble with something like this when CS4 handled it routinely. This is becoming a very serious problem. I would jump back to CS4, but I have misplaced the disks and

    You are absolutely correct, it should. If it doesn't, it means there is something wrong with your file, not ID in general. If going through the steps fixes the file, consider yourself lucky you don't need to rebuild.
    You didn't mention the version of ID that you are using, but make sure you have applied the latest patches. There were some issues with packaging (though I don't recall hangs as being one of them) in 7.0.0

  • Indesign CS5 crashing when packaging.

    Hi,
    My Colleague and I have just been on training courses to use CS5, inparticular indesign. We have been provided with new PC whic have the spec shown below.
    Intel Core TM2 DUO CPU
    e8400 @3 ghz
    1.93 GB RAM.
    We are having problems on both machines when it comes to packaging documents (small A4 books 20-30 pages) and graphic design for exhibtion stands)
    Sometimes when packaging the documents idesign crashes always at the same stage (when saving the indesign file) all the links and fonts will save to the folder but the indesign file never saves correctly, it there but will not open and crashes indesign). The only way of shutting indesign is via the task manager. When opening indesign again we are presented with two files, which appear to be the same. This is causing us all types of problems and I was wondering if there is a simple explination, as some file package no problem.

    To be very, very clear about this, InDesign and other Adobe applications depending upon Adobe's internal font handling and rendering engine (CoolType) are not really sensitive to either “freebie or cheap fonts“ or even “poor quality” fonts, but rather, fonts that are malformed or corrupted. There is a very big difference here. There are plenty of shlocky fonts out there in terms of lousy typographical design or execution of same. That is not the same as fonts that simply don't obey the specification for either Type 1, TrueType, or OpenType and/or somehow along the line have had something overwrite part of their file structure. Tools such as FontLab and more recent versions of Fontographer generate “clean” fonts and are not the cause of these problems.
    FWIW, I've been in this biz for well over twenty years and have seen and used fonts from many foundries. Although I have seen examples of absolute dreckish fonts with hinting problems and even inability to properly render with assymetrical resolutions (such as 600x1200), in my own use, I have yet to encounter even one font that would crash Adobe's software. Typically, they don't come that way “from the vendor” but can be messed up via travels as e-mail attachments, ASCII FTP transfers, etc.

  • Windows CS3 Programs Freeze When Opening Files

    Windows CS3, all programs freeze when trying to open files by going through the file menu.
    Able to open files when navigating with windows explorer then right clicking on file and choosing "open with"
    Windows XP Professional SP3, 4 Gb Ram Quad Core Processor.
    Have uninstalled and reinstalled CS3 (Design Premium)
    Have deleted photoshop settings file and tried using photoshop.
    Any time I try to open a new file or existing file by going through the file menu the program freezes and must be terminated using the task manager.

    Erika,
    I wish you had posted that last night. LOL I'm glad it worked for you and I will tell anyone who has this problem to try that before they try my fix. I was starting to have other problems like inDesign corrupting images.
    Here's how I fixed it,
    I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS UNLESS YOU ARE WILLING TO RISK HAVING TO REFORMAT YOUR PC.
    1. Backup entire pc
    2. Deactivate Creative Suite 3 (or whatever application you are having a problem with)
    3. Uninstall problem application or suite, then uninstall everything by adobe.
    4. Search PC for all folders and files with "adobe", no quotes, in the name.
    5. Delete all folders and files with "adobe", no quotes, in the name.
    6. Restart PC
    7. Run ccleaner and also run the registry fix.
    8. Restart PC.
    9. Backup registry.
    10. Scan registry for "adobe", no quotes. Delete every instance of "adobe", no quotes making sure the reference is truly "adobe" and not something else.
    11. Restart PC.
    12. Install adobe suite or application.
    13. Install any other adobe application you may need.
    Worked for me, but
    I DO NOT   RECOMMEND THIS UNLESS YOU ARE WILLING TO RISK HAVING TO REFORMAT YOUR PC.

  • CS4 Freezes When Deleting Files

    I've had CS4 now for a few weeks and I'm finding that whenever I try to delete a .htm file, the program freezes. I've tried the idea of deleting that cache file in the configurations folder. I've even renamed my configuration folder so a new one would be rebuilt. Same thing with the preferences folder. Any ideas on why this is occurring?

    I'm also getting frequent freezes when I try to open a folder in DW. I click on the little + sign and it just locks up. Very, very frustrating. I just upgrading from DW 8 to CS4 and right now, I'm instability like I never experienced in DW 8. Please help.

  • CS2 freezes when saving files

    I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit and suddenly my files freeze when saving. Runing version 9.0.2. Can anyone help?

    Photoshop CS2. When I work on a file and click "save" it freezes. If I click save as, using the same name it freezes. If I save it and number or change the file name it save correctly without freezing. i.e. Save 1.jpg' save 2.jpg etc.

  • Freezes when adding files

    all was perfectly well, until i hit the update button and got 7.5.
    Now as soon as i try to add a file or a folder. Itunes freezes up and (though it still adds the files, about one album per two hours. And i get the "not responding" message if i try to do anything while its running.
    this only happens when importing files to the library, everything else works.
    ideas?

    It is always a good idea to run a virus and spyware scan before starting troubleshooting to elimate malware as a cause.
    There is an Apple article on troubleshooting freezes:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302856
    First check to see if the problem is User-specific by opening iTunes in another account.
    If the problem is system wide, try the section on "Conflicting Processes" first.

  • MS-7519 freezes when transferring files

    Hi,
    can anyone help me with this problem ???
    Whenever i try to transfer or copy files within the same drive or partition or from USB drive, the computer freezes randomly and I need to do a hard restart.
    I have a clean install of windows and this happens in safe mode too, especially if the files are larger.
    Sometimes the transfer is almost done and the PC freezes almost at the end of the transfer, but sometimes it freezes in the beginning.
    And after it freezes when I restart and try transferring again, it freezes quicker ( in the first 3-4% of the transfer )
    I have done tests for CPU, RAM, HDD, GRAPHIC CARD, PSU, and all of them are passed.
    I have also taken out the HDD and tried to copy files on another PC and there it goes OK.
    Is something adjusted wrong in the BIOS or maybe I need to update the BIOS  ???
    Have somebody had the same problem or if you have any suggestions  ??? 
    Thanks in advance.

  • Safari Freezes when attaching files

    Hello Someone/Everyone,
    My Safari browser freezes when I attach files using yahoo. I've updated to the newest flash. still nothing. I've read the majority of the discussions here and no luck. Most involve viewing a crash report. I don't have a crash report since it technically doesn't crash. It simple doesn't allow me to do anything else so I have to force quit the application using the activity monitor. Any ideas on what to do... thanks in advance for your help.

    HI,
    Uninstall the BrowserPlus which isn't compatible with Safari 5. That's why Safari is freezing why you attache files in Yahoo mail.
