Indesign crashes when updating incopy content

I'm having a lot of bother with (Mac) Indesign CS6 crashing when updating Incopy content. The problem first appeared after upgrading from CS4 to CS6 on OSX 10.6.8.
I've since upgraded to Mountain Lion (10.8.2) and the problem still persists (with fully updated InDesign 8.01 and Incopy).
Incopy is Windows version if that has any bearing on the issue.
The crash occurs when opening an Indesign document with Incopy content that has been edited. I can open the document if I choose not to update content, but ID will subsequently crash if I choose to manually update the content from the assignments dialog. This doesn't happen with all my documents - perhaps about 1 in 4 with Incopy assignments.
I can place the ICML files in a new Indesign document without incedent. In other words the ICML files don't appear to be corrupt.
Suggestions anyone?
Ian

I got another crash. This time just on trying to launch inDesign.
Below is the report. If anyone can help it would be very appreciated.

Indesign crashes when updating incopy assignments!

Hi,
I've read through some forums and it appears others are having this problem.
When I open indesign and it says do you want to update links (referring to the incopy assignements) that need updated.
I click ok, and Indesign crashes!!!!
One thing I read could be the issue....
- anchored objects, (incopy can't handle all the anchored objects)
That is RIDICULOUS if that is the issue. If so, Adobe should have had a disclaimer....don't buy incopy if you plan on having more than text in your document.
There are no error messages that come up, the program just crashes. I'm using Indesign CS5 version 7.
A solution I read was to save the indesign file that keeps crashing when updating the assignments as an .idml file.
I tried this and it appeared to work, but what a joke!
This is very unreliable and has caused a lot of stress.
Anyone else have any solutions or can ADOBE come up with a solution???
Thanks

First question is are you fully patched to 7.0.4? If not, download and install that patch.
Second: Do you have Suitcase Fusion 3 installed? If so, try disabling the autoactivation plugin.

InDesign crashes when updating InCopy ICML files

I created an assignment file with around 20 different stories. The next time I opened InDesign the writer had input text to most of the story files. One story file was a couple of pages of text, the rest were just a few lines of copy, nothing huge. Every time I tried to update the ICML files InDesign crashed. I didn't matter if I only tried updating one story or all of them, it always crashed. I was working on a PC when this happened. I moved over to my Mac to try and updated the ICML files and it crashed there too.
The actual InCopy ICML files on the server were fine. The writer never realized there was a problem. All of the copy was sitting there, so I was able to go back and re-import all the copy.
I did all the basic stuff to resolve the issue like restart, trash the prefs, convert to INX, and try on different computer. Nothing worked, crashed InDesign every time.
I'm currently using CS5, but this same issue came up last year on another project in CS4 as well.
Has anyone had this happen and/or know of a fix other than re-importing all the story files?

Some might call me crazy, but in order to progress with my project I ended up having to create my own work around this crashing bug.
The problem with my situation was that the reviewers had already made their comments in InCopy and it wasn't until I tried opening the .indd file and updating the stories that we received the crash... every time.
My workaround - if the reviewers had made their comments in InCopy, hopefully with track changes enabled, in order to see their comments I did the following:
I opened the .indd file in InDesign CS5.5 (version 7.5.2). DO NOT UPDATE the document with the ICML stories. Instead I unlinked the .icml stories from the main document. I then opened the .icml files in InCopy 5.5. I was able to see the edits that were made by my reviewers and copy and paste them between InCopy and InDesign at that point.
I know, I know. This is totally a crazy thing to need to do when we have such a powerful tool (InDesign and InCopy). It comes down to, you must do what you must do to get the job done. I truly had no other option presented at the time. The project had to complete and the reviewers were not HAPPY to even think about reviewing the content again via PDF shared review.
The best advice I received from other forum users when I proposed the crashing issue was that it could be because of anchored objects being deleted or moved by an InCopy editor. Because InCopy is strictly a text editing tool, there may be an issue that causes InDesign to get frustrated when an edit moves or deletes an anchored object or frame. I had lots of anchored object, interactive objects, etc. in my document. To track down whether an anchored object moved or was deleted by a user was unsurmountable... my workaround, while painful, at least got the job done this time.
Any future projects will be moved back to CS4. That version atleast works with InCopy stories and Interactivity. I am sure one day this will be resolved... just wonder when.

InDesign crashing when updating associated InCopy files

We just upgraded to CS6 and Creative Cloud. When graphic designers are using InDesign and writers update the affiliated InCopy files, when the designers hit the Update button to pull in the updates, it crashes InDesign. Here is Pastebin link of a recent crash log.
http://pastebin.com/Luc13HET
Designers are using Macs, writers are using PCs, we use DropBox to share the files, and re-placing the files seems to be ok, just not using the actual Update button. We've tried a ton of potential fixes, including resetting preferences, placing the file on to a new document, saving as IDML, exporting InCopy links separately.
Anyone know of any fixes?

This is the same for our department and the workflow sounds very similar except we are using Stand alone installs and not creative cloud with both design and editoiral using PCs.
We have really experienced the problems when using previously designed templates from CS4 and are now having to go through systematcally and redo these from the ground up which seems to fix most but not all and is really annoying. Adobe of yet have not released a fix for this even thou there have been quite a few pastbin reports sent to them.
CS6 using Indesign and Incopy is a real disappointment considering all the excellent features under the hood.
See a long post here it might help

Indesign crashes when updating a linked document

This is a reproducible crash.
I have a indd file, several pages long with other embedded / placed indd documents inside.
When a linked file in the original documents has been changed, I naturally get a notice in the "links" tab. So far so good.
When I right-click and select "Edit original", the original document opens up and I get the usual notice if I like to update the changed link.
I select yes and save the document and close it to get back to doc I started with and then Indesign crashes.
Can this be fixed? It's extremely annoying.
Tia.

Sphynx25 I have the exact problem and have been dealing with it for a couple years now, it's incredibly annoying. I wonder if there's some preference that would eliminate the document from automatically checking the links?? Seems this is what causes the crashes. I fiddled with what I could find in the preferences to no avail.
If you figure this one out please let me know, I'll do the same.

InDesign crash when updated from InCopy

From 2007 to last week I have never had any issues with InDesign and InCopy. LOVE the way they work together.
Upgraded to CS6 two weeks ago... Put one set of papers out last week with some odd things happeing where InDesign would update an InCopy edit and they seconds later it would be out of date again.
Now this week all updates from InCopy crash InDesign.
This is driving me crazy. I have started replacing content with InCopy files just to have them show up out of date... and any update crashes InDeisgn.
I have no idea how I am going to get through this weeks paper.
Any help out there???
Thanks
Chris
Windows 7, one is brand new... all CS6 all fresh clean installs...

OK... this is gettin worse.
Now I cant place a PDF.
I moved all files to my local computer, still haveing issues!
Completely unacceptable!

InDesign crashes when updating image links

InDesign has crashed a few other times with the same error details I have below, but the easiest way to replicate it over and over is when I try to re-link images.
The module that keeps crashing is "TEXT.RPLN"
I thought it was a font at first, but have run Adobe's font validator and everything said it was fine.
I have replaced the "InDesign Defaults" and "InDesign SavedData" files and that didn't help either.
Any other thoughts on why InDesign could be crashing?
It is becoming hard to get anything done, and I am thinking that I may just have to completely uninstall and then reinstall...

I did already replace the preference files.
It was actually happening on multiple InDesign installs on separate computers so I don't think it could have been preference related.
However, crossing my fingers, I think it is fixed now...
I created a copy of the original document and exported the .INDD document as a .IDML and re-opened/saved it as a new version. By doing this, everything appears to be working now. Don't know if it is just coincidence or if something in that process really fixed something. I guess only time will tell.

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 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 crashes when i open an Open, Place, Import Export or Save dialog

I saw that was an old problem (InDesign crashes when you open an Open, Place, Import Export or Save dialog (CS2, CS3 on Mac OS 10.5 - 10.5.3) but i have the same problem on my CC 2014.

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 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.

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.
