InDesign crashes when trying to insert a new page!

I use InDesign CS6 on a PC Win7.
Suddenly yesterday when I tried to insert pages in one of the chapters in a book I am working on (12 chapters, 260 pages) the software crashed!
I have tried 7 times more after that with different changes, like only open the chapter I want to insert pages in, restart the computer and so on.
Every time I try there is a "pling"-sound and It still crashes.
What to do?

Unfortunately there are lots of different things that can cause crashing behavior.
Here is a list of things you could try:
Check that you have the latest version of InDesign CS6 installed. Help > About InDesign (should be 8.0.2) - Adobe - InDesign : For Windows : Adobe InDesign CS6 8.0.2 update - All Languages
Save the document as an InDesign IDML file, and reopen that IDML file in InDesign, then save it as an InDesign file again.
Create a copy of the InDesign document and try opening that and adding a new page.
In the open InDesign document before adding a page: Edit > Preferences > Type, deselect the Smart Text Reflow option.
Delete cache files (see: InDesign preferences and support files locations page)
Rename InDesign preferences file (or delete).
Disable/Uninstall any third party plug-ins that are installed, and check that any third party plug-ins or extensions that are installed are compatible with the InDesign version used (depending on how they are installed you could do this from the Adobe Extension Manager application - see http://helpx.adobe.com/extension-manager.html).
If all of this fails, you might need to try and isolate which object in your document is causing the crash. That's generally a time-consuming task, but hopefully one or some of the above combined will provide you with a fix.

Finder crashes when trying to open a new window

When trying to open a new Finder window, Finder will crash and relaunch but won't open an actual new window. Neither can I use the Go To Folder menu.
I tried relaunching Finder, restarting my MacBook and repairing my disk. Unfortunately, nothing has helped so far..
Any ideas?
Small addition: I first noticed the problem while trying to open a DMG file. I don't have any reason to suspect this file is malicious though.

I faced the exact same problem.
Please check How to activate an event handler manually? Read the COMPLETE thread... especially the second last entry. Valery has given a perfect workaround for this problem.
And it works absolutely fine too !

Navneet.

Firefox crashes when trying to print a certain page

I process orders placed on our web site. As soon as I updated to v6.0 and then V6.0.1 at a particular page when I need to print out invoices (and only on this page - I print two other pages as well during the processing) firefox crashes when trying to print all, print one page or print preview. It is not every single time but most times. I never had this problem in any earlier version.
It happened in safe mode as well.
If it wasn't for the group tabs which I love in v6 I would go back to v5.0 as it is quite inconvenient and costs me extra time to have this happen. I have to display each of the invoices individiually and print them which never causes a crash.
I have submitted fourteen reports:

Illustrator & Indesign CC (Windows) crashes when trying to open an new/existing document

I installed Illusrator & Indesign CC when they were released as I had a pre-existing Adobe CC account which I had previously downloaded Photoshop and Indesign CS6 with. When I try to use Indesign & Illustrator CC they both crash when you go to open a new / existing document. I also downloaded Photoshop CC and this works fine. I have phoned Adobe 6 times to try to resolve the issue, each time I wait on hold for an hour and they get told they will call back within 2-5 hours but this never happens.
Has anyone else had this issue since installing CC and found a way to resolve it?

CS 3 InDesign Crashes when trying to Export To PDF

Our File Problem
Dell Microsoft XP service pack 2
Mac Intel Duo, Tiger
CS3 Fully Updated as of 3/17/08
CS2 Fully Updated as of 3/20/08
The problem first arose back when we upgraded to CS3, we found that files inside our document were crashing InDesign CS3 when we went to print or export the document as a pdf, the file originally made an interchange file which we could work with in CS2 so we went back and avoided CS3 until the catalog was finished.
The problem arose again after we started using CS3 again, but not right away. Many documents have been built and exported and printed with no problem. I was able to find and fix the problem through a piece by piece removal process of elimination. I isolated the problem link, opened it in photoshop, made a new psd file and saved the new file with a different name. Problem solved.
The problem became more complicated recently when I created a document, filled it with links, exported the file, changed nothing but copy in the document went to export and the document crashed InDesign. I then started the process of elimination and found that the problem link was different every time, and when placed into another fresh document would export just fine. All of the links were re-created in photoshop and used to create another document. The document was re created on other machines, everything went well until drop shadows were added into the document, then it crashed InDesign and could not be exported to PDF. We then took the same document, with the drop shadows, exported it in Interchange to CS2 and the document exported just fine to PDF.
As a test on the drop shadow issue, we took a number of different files and tested these in CS2 and CS3 with and without drop shadows. Every file we tried in CS2 worked fine with and without a drop shadow. However ,we experienced a number of crashed of InDesign with the drop shadows on these files in CS3. It seems to be just a portion of images, of a certain type of product we carry, but other than that there is no consistency to what is causing the crash. We also tested other effects and had the same results with InDesign CS3 crashing.
The other issue we see with this is that before the 1st of the year, we were able to export the same images in InDesign with the drop shadows and other effects. It seems that since the first of the year, the same images are not longer able to export from CS3 to a PDF. A couple of the possible thoughts we had were that there was an issue with recent updates in CS3, to test this we are going to uninstall CS3 and reinstall without running updates. We also are going to try to recreate the files that crashed InDesign and see if they can crash again on export.
Has anybody else experienced any similar issues? Does anybody know of a way to identify the problem in CS3 or with our files other than through trial and error? This is a major issue and problem for us since we are primarily a catalog based business and cannot have out catalog crash unexpectedly when we spend months working on it.
This problem is also not operating system specific, it is happening on both machines listed above

Dean,
We found that the issue is a bug in the program, and this was the response i Got from an Adobe guy:
Initial Response:
Thank you very much. Weve been able to reproduce the crash. It appears the underlying bug is triggered by having tall narrow PSD images and transparency effects (i.e. drop shadow). Well be working to further understand the root cause, and then working on a fix for a future release/update.
In the interim the best workaround I can come up with is to rotate the canvas in Photoshop 90 degrees so the image is short and wide, and then rotate it -90 degrees in InDesign after placing so you get the vertical orientation you want. The bug is triggered when processing the data as saved by Photoshop, so avoiding the tall and narrow psd should avoid the bug.
Im sorry to not have an easier workaround or immediate fix. Please let me know if you encounter any new crashes. Ill let you know if our further investigation changes our understanding of the root cause of the bug.
Second response:
Well, I have a bit more info. Switching from a tall narrow image size to a short and wide one should avoid the crash for any specific image that crashed when tall and narrow, but unfortunately the root cause of the bug is in code that could potentially be triggered by any image. It appears to be exceptionally rare for other image proportions, but it is still theoretically possible. It just turns out its much more likely for a tall narrow CMYK+Alpha image.
So, as it stands I dont have a 100% guaranteed way to avoid this crash, but it should be much less common for short and wide images. If you do encounter the crash, switching the orientation should avoid the crash. Hopefully the orientation workaround will allow you to be productive with InDesign until a future release contains the fix.
Hope that helps

Adobe InDesign crashes when trying to print

I use Adobe CS4 regularly. I could print fine from all apps in CS4 until yesterday when I tried to print from InDesign CS4 and the app crashed. All other apps in CS4 print fine, as do all other apps. I've attempted to create a new print preset and also tried to edit the printer default, but InDesign crashes every time. Has this happened to anyone else?
The only things I've done differently (or new) was to test a new antivirus app (Anti-Virus Software for Mac Protection | Kaspersky Lab United States) and also to download and try out the new Firefox 11. I also created a couple of pdf files in InDesign (as I've done dozens of times with no problems).
The printer is an Epson all-in-one WorkForce 630, and I have confirmed that I'm using the latest drivers. I've done restarts and shutdowns. Nothing seems to help, and only InDesign CS4 seems to be affected.
ANY help would be greatly appreciated...and thanks in advance for your input.

Forgot to mention that I can still create pdf files using the CS4 presets, and can also continue to work on files and save them but the only way to print is by creating a pdf file and printing that.

CS5 Bridge crashes when trying to create a new subdirectory

Bridge version 4.*.*, Windows 8.
Was working perfectly for months then tonight decided to crash when I try to create a new subdirectory.
When I try to create the subdirectory it closes and I get a window telling me Windows is trying to find a solution.
What is the issue have how do I get a remedy.
I thought OK, the application got corrupted, so I will download and install a new version of bridge.
That seems to not be possible as there is no Bridge for CS5 download on the download menu.
What is the solution? Thanks.

Disk utility is crashing when trying to create a new image

Seriously need some help if anyone has an idea of why disk utility is crashing while trying to create a disk image. I'm not finding any other info on this issue.
My HD is failing and being replaced tomorrow and I'm desperately trying to create disk images of both my mac HD and of bootcamp for the new drive being installed.
Any recommendations or suggestions would be truly appreciated.

Thank you for responding so quickly. I do have Carbon Copy Cloner, but if disk utility isn't working, getting it to restore is going to be an issue, though haven't attempted a restore since the HD has to be replaced.
CCC also doesn't clone bootcamp either unfortunately.
Currently running "verify permissions" using Disk Utility and so far so good, it hasn't crashed, it seems to be an issue related to imaging with disk utility.
Then I am going to attempt using the install disk to see if I can get disk utility again and try imaging Bootcamp again too.

After 9.5.2 updated, Acrobat crashes when trying to insert a page

I just installed the 9.5.2 update today, and now I can't insert a page into a PDF or combine files (merge into a single PDF), either. Whenever the file dialog box should open, Acrobat simply quits.
How can I roll back to the previous version, or fix the problem?
Running Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 64-bit, Office 2010, Acrobat Professional 9.5.2. If it matters, my computer is an HP EliteBook 8740w with 4GB of RAM.

May be a 64-bit issue. I just tried an insert with 9.52 on Win7, 32-bit, and it worked fine.

Firefox 31.0 bug - FF crashes when trying to print Amazon web pages

Using Mac OS 10.6.8. Firefox crashing issue just started occurring for me after updating to FF 31.0 on 8-5-14. Prior to that FF has always worked perfectly for me with no printing issues or any other issues. Luckily FF does not crash when printing anything else. All other web pages work well so far except for Amazon.
Tried many different listings on Amazon but I get the same result; instant crash. Command P brings up the Print Window successfully, but as soon as I make the choice to Print, Preview or Save as a pdf, FF crashes. (By the way, my Safari browser works perfectly when printing these same web pages on Amazon. No crashes.)
Tried every single one of the Help suggestions regarding the printer settings, preferences, and other help suggestions for crashing issues but they made no difference at all. Cleared my FF cookies and cache, cleared my system and user caches, updated Flash Player and checked that all plugins were up-to-date, ran Disk Utility to repair permissions, and reset PRAM, but no luck.
Decided to reset FF last night but that resulted in no change at all. FF still crashes when attempting to print from Amazon. I reported this issue to Amazon, and they said they would contact Mozilla about it too. Thank you.

We're sorry to hear that Firefox is crashing. In order to assist you better, please follow the steps below to provide us crash IDs to help us learn more about your crash.

InDesign crashes when trying to use Zapf Dingbats

I have a somewhat frustrating problem that seemed to come out of nowhere today — every time I try to use Zapf Dingbats in InDesign CS4, it crashes. This happens when selecting the font manually or trying to access it with the glyphs palette. I've tried deleting the preferences and restarting the machine, and it still doesn't work. I've also tried inspecting Zapf Dingbats with Font Book and it turns up OK. This font hasn't given me any trouble in the six months or so since I've installed InDesign, so I'm at a bit of a loss as to what on earth is going on.
Any suggestions?

Is this in a brand-new document, or is it across the board on all documents?
I've had particularly complex documents with many style dependencies behave this way... usually cleaning the styles up has fixed it. However, in a case like that, I can use the font without issue in another document.
If it happens in all documents, and it just started happening, I'd assume that there might be something wrong with the font itself (corruption? reinstall) or perhaps your computer. Care to give us some details about your computer, OS, et cetera?

Indesign crashes when trying to view certain page

Hi, I have a 150 page document that I am working on in Indesign CS5 using a Macbook Pro 10.7.5. I am able to view and adjust every page except page 132-133. Every time I try to view those pages I get the message "the connection was lost for file filename.indd or the file was modified by another process". When I export the page to PDF it looks just fine. However, there are some adjustments I'd like to make but I can't access the file without the error message popping up and the program crashing. I have tried accessing the page in all sorts of ways with no luck (links, jump to page, scrolling, etc) every time it crashes.
All the files are on my home computer - there is no 'network' or another process that would interfere as far as i know.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Try exporting the file as IDML to remove the corruption.
Open the file in InDesign.
Export the file to IDML (InDesign CS4/CS5) or INX (InDesign CS3 and earlier) format:
Choose File > Export.
From the Save As Type menu, choose InDesign Markup, or InDesign Interchange.
Give the file a name and location, and then click Save.
Open the exported IDML or INX file back into InDesign.
This process rewrites the data in the InDesign document and can repair damage within the original document.

InDesign crashes when trying to place text

I'm using InDesign to convert html files in pdf documents: I usually place the html file and then run the FindChangeByList script that replaces all the contents of the tags with paragraph/character styles of my choice.
Given the fact that the above-mentioned html files are really unsophisticated, this takes just two clicks plus ten seconds for the program to perform the script.
This has gone perfectly well until a few days ago, when suddently ID begun to take hours to place the documents, even those that had never had problems before. I tried to place html and other file formats with the same outcome.
Anyone can tell me what problem there could be?
I'm sure I've not changed anything in the ID configuration nor in my pc, and I'm currently working with InDesign CS4 on Windows Vista.
(I also tried to empty the chace folders, but to no avail)
Thank you.
Sabrina

The first thing to try when ID gets flaky like this is to replace your preferences.
Adobe InDesign CS4 * Setting preferences
Export any presets from the "define" dialogs before doing this if you don't want to have to rebuild them all from scratch.
