Indesign crashes when I work with rectangular frames.

I just bought Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design Standard. Now Indesign CS 6 crashes when I scale a rectangle frame. All the rest works fine, only these rectangle frames can't be scaled. It's horroble.
I installed Indesgin new, I deleted the Indesign preferences, I made a totally new document and copied the stuff from the old document, I made the rectangulars totally new, but it's still the same.
Does anyone have an idea. I work on a new IMac, OS X, Version 10.9.5.
Thanks!

It might not make a difference, but what method are you using to scale the frames?
Text frames, image frames or both?
One at a time, or several, and if several, are they grouped?
By Command-dragging a handle, using the scale tool, or using the percentage fields at the top?

Does it work in totally new documents that you haven't copied stuff to from the old document? If so, try copying just one item from the old doc and see if it works with that item or new items created in the new doc. It could be that one, some, or all of the elements of the old doc are bringing in some bad code. If some of the items don't cause the problem, you could use the divide-by-half method to try to find the one or ones that is/are causing the problem. It's how you would find a bad page in a long document. You try copying half of the elements and see if it fails. If it does, you try the other half (on a new document that hasn't been affected by the first try). If that one works, the problem is in the first half. If it doesn't, you may have to try in quarters, eighths, or (depending on how much time you are prepared to spend on this) one at a time. If it looks like that will take more time than starting over, that's something to consider.

InDesign crashes when syncing book with Hyperlinks in master

Hi,
I seem to have an issue with InDesign crashing when trying to sync a Book (INDB file) with page links (Hyperlinks) in the Master.
Ref. Hyperlink panel > Edit Hyperlink > Link To: Page
I've narrowed the crashing issue down to InDesign only crashing when the Style Source (containing the master with page links), tries to sync with another doc in the Book that uses the master in the Pages panel. Thus I do not get a crashing error if the doc does not contain the master in the Pages panel.
For the pages that did not contain the master on the Pages panel I noticed that the Hyperlinks were labelled differently from the Style Source (ex. "hyperlink 1" from the Style Source would be "hyperlink 2" in the first document synced with it (assuming only one hyperlink present).
If I remove the Hyperlinks (page links) from the master, the error no longer occurs for any of the pages.
I put the links on the Page as opposed to the Master to test functionality and they work as expected. Although part of the reason for having the Master is these links appear exactly the same across multiple pages in the Book.
I've tried to export all my pages as IDML files then re-save them as INDD files to no avail. Did the same to all the files as well with "Save As" which didn't do anything either. I then installed the latest patch I could find: Application Version 7.0.4.553 (See all InDesign Patches), which also did not work.
Not sure if this is a bug or if what I'm trying to accomplish should be done differently.
The links in the Master need to link to the first page of select docs in the Book. Similar functionality to how a rendered table of contents would behave.
Ref. Layout > Table of Contents...

I had the same problem, and it turns out that the problem is having the same file into different folders. For example I had an MP4 in iTunes, and the same file in the photos folder that was being updated to the iPad. So I just removed one file and it syncs perfectly.

Indesign CC crashes when I select the rectangle frame tool?? Its a custom page, tabloid with guides set.

My indesign crashes when I select the rectangle frame tool. Does it matter if its a custom doc set as a tabloid and guide lines? I have a project due and all I'm trying to do is add a picture I took.

InDesign crashes when scrolling/editing a corrupted page with a broken link.

Just sharing a problem I had and how I solved it (with help from adobe tech support-thanks!).
Indesign CC running on a Mac OSX 10.9.2
PROBLEM:
InDesign crashed when ever I reached a certain page in a large document I was working on. On that page was a link to an illustrator file. Somehow this file must have been corrupted, but there was no chance to edit or delete this link/page as the program crashed instantly when ever I tried to manipulated that specific page.
SOLUTION:
I opened a new, empty document; opened the broken file and moved all pages to the new document: LAYOUT/PAGES/MOVE PAGES; select Move Pages "ALL"; Move to: "Select the new document"; click OK. I went back to the new file with the moved pages saved it and deleted the corrupted link on that page which I could now edit again. Problem solved!
Hope this is helpful for anyone who experience the same problem.

Indesign crashes when I try and open my document

I created a file in Indesign which represents many days of work.
It crashed indesign when I was pdf'ing the document and now it crashes indesign every time I try to open it.
It is my only version.
I have tried many ways to open it but nothing has worked - can you help?
I've just realised that now - Indesign crashes when I try and open any document!
Thanks very much
NB Someone suggested I send it to Adobe and they may be able to fix it, but I can't find a contact email to send it to.

You need to empty the InDesign Recovery folder (which is hidden in your user profile/library). You can find the path to InDesign SavedData in this link: Replace Your Preferences and the recovery folder should be in the same folder with the InDesign SavedData file.
Once the recovery folder is empty you should be able to launch ID, then try opening the file. If it wasn't damaged while writing it back to disk it will be fine, in the last previously saved state.

Indesign crashes when picking swatches

hi, Im working in indesign cs3 (updated to latest) on tiger 10.4.11 I have been working on this book on and off since April, but last week i noticed indesign crashing when color swatches are picked from the swatches palette. This especially happens when working within master pages, but it has also happened when not in the masters. I have deleted the fonts file in the cache, I have also trashed the preferences, and it still happens. Has anyone come across the same phenom? If so what is the fix?
For now I'm avooiding the swatches palette, its a pain in the butt especially working on a long document. Any tips are appreciated.

hi Larry. I dont mind trying that, the only thing is I'm working off the book palette, with about 12 chapters in it so far. I've only been working with 4 of the 12 so far, so not sure how to export the whole book as inx. Or may be just export them one at a time

InDesign Crashes when exporting to InCopy

I support several hundred InDesign/ InCopy users. We have been using this workflow for several years.
Approximately a month ago, we migrated to CS5 (7.0.3). I began to immediately get support calls that InDesign and InCopy were crashing. A few of the calls were that InCopy was crashing when pasting text from MS Office, but he overwhelming majority of the calls are for InDesign crashing when exporting stories to InCopy. If exported one at a time, the stories export fine. When exporting all stories or an entire text layer of stories, it will crash nearly without fail.
Our environment consists of Mac Pro 2x2.66Ghz and 2.8Ghz Intel Core Duo 2 iMacs running 10.5.8. with CS5 7.0.3. This is happening on multiple machines. A few of them have been gone over to verify base OS integrity, permissions repaired, DiskWarrior run etc… to make sure we did not have individual machine issues.
I need resolution for both issues, but the crashing while exporting is so prevalent that my graphic designers are starting to really get aggravated.
I searched the forum for "InCopy", for "export" and for "crash." None of those terms returned a single hit. I can't imagine those terms are not in this forum, so I am working on the assumption that searching must be broken at the moment.
Thanks in advance for any guidance,
Kevin

Try posting on the InCopy forum. There was another similar report there...
Did you fill out a bug report?

InDesign crashes when printing

Using InDesignCS2 4.0 on a MacBookPro OS 10.6.8.
InDesign crashes when I hit "print" on all documents, so it looks like it's not corrupt data in the document. As a workaround, I can export to a pdf and print, but now need to add printer's marks, which can only be done through "print."
I've re-installed the program from the original disk.
Thoughts?
-- Jerry Monaghan

Is this an installation on a computer you've just acquired? Or did it work before on this particular computer?
There is a mismatch between your InDesign version which came out in May 2005, and Mac OS X 10.6, which came out in 2009. InDesign CS2 was designed for a much earlier version of Mac OS X 10.2.8 to 10.3.8. Apple often makes OS changes which makes features in much earlier software versions not work.
You're lucky to have a workaround to be able to print via PDF files.

Photoshop crushes frequently when I work with just 2 or 3 layers

Hi!
I am running Photoshop CC on a PC with the following features:
Processor: Intel Core I7-4790 3.60 GHz
RAM: 8 GB
OS: Windows 8.1 64 bits
Motherboard: Asus Z97
I thought this would be more than enough to run Photoshop without problems, but it crushes frequently when I work with just 2 or 3 layers (file size of around 260 MB). I would appreciate some help to solve this problem.
Thank you!

I want to place an image in my InDesign document that can work with an address like this (\Resources\Thumb) rather than this (C:\Users\JSmith\Desktop\InDesign thumbnail Test\001\Resources\Thumb) is this possible?

I want to place an image in my InDesign document that can work with an address like this (\Resources\Thumb) rather than this (C:\Users\JSmith\Desktop\InDesign thumbnail Test\001\Resources\Thumb) is this possible? In a nutshell I want to point the link to an image in a directory that uses just part of the address.

I know this is something you can do in Maya with linked files. I guess InDesign just isn't there yet.
MW Design - Yeah I think "Relative paths" is the right term! I want to create a Layout with an image in the center of the page - and then duplicate my folder structure with that file. With that, I want to replace the Linked image file with a diferent image file of the same name. In effect having multiple files of the same layout with different images. I hope that made sense.
