InDesign Crashing when Choosing "help" from Menu Bar

Every time I choose Help from the Menu bar, InDesign Crashes. I'm on InDesign CS3 5.04
PLEASE HELP!

Hi(Bonjour)!
That's the way FCE (and FCP by the way) works since his first version.

  • Illustrator CS6 crashes when choosing printer from menu

    Hi,
    We just got a new computer installed and Illustrator CS6 is set on Adobe PDF in print menu. When we try to change it to our printer in the drop down list, Illustrator crashes. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    You are welcome, Laura.
    I was hoping it was not that.
    Maybe you should hope it is: it could be something worse.
    I hope you will report your findings.

  • Photoshop cs3 crashes when I touch the Menu Bar

    Photoshop cs3 on my MacbookPro OsX 10.7.5 crashes when I touch the Menu Bar. Ive reloaded it with no result. Any ideas?

    You're crashing deep inside Apple's OpenCL code (which CS3 doesn't use directly), apparently because Apple calls it as part of their drawing code.
    You'll have to contact Apple about this - but of course, they'll blame the bugs in Apple's code on third parties.

  • Indesign crashed when pulling pallet from dock

    I am using Indesign 3.0 v 5.0.4. on Windows XP. I have my dock set to auto collapse, but occasionally when I pull out a pallet to use rather than having it collapse, Indesign will crash. Any ideas?

    Replace your preferences?

  • After installing iTunes 10.4.0.80 "file" "edit" etc items from menu bar at top right corner disappeared -when cursor is put in that spot a darker rectangle appears - similarly tabs for syncing iPhone are invisible

    After installing iTunes 10.4.0.80 "file" "edit" etc items from menu bar at top right corner disappeared -when cursor is put in that spot a darker rectangle appears - similarly tabs for syncing iPhone are invisible- and similarly small ovals appear when cursor is placed where tabs should be.

    Very many thanks to you, Putaro!  Your answer provided the solution. It was a buggy plug-in that turned out to be the culprit.
    You're off the hook, Apple, and my apologies for stating that you let a dog run loose. You skated by this time, Apple. But I'm watching you.
    But again, Putaro's reference to the plugins I had installed over the years turned out to illuminate the problem. I have several plugins in my iTunes plugins folder, pretty much all designed to add more visualizer functionality. I removed all of them, and ALL of the problems I noted in my post went away, with full iTunes functionality restored.
    I began adding the plugins back to hopefully single out the culprit. Among the ones I had been using included fielder, G-Force, Timestrech, volcanokit, QuartzComposer, and Jax. I hadn't used any of them in a while - probably at least a verison or more back in iTunes updates, but iTunes continued to work with all of them installed. Currently, only QuartzComposer continues to work in iTunes 10.4. The rest no longer even show up as visualizer opitons, with one exception. Jax does show up, but does not work. AND THE PRESENCE OF JAX IS WHAT KILLED MY ITUNES.
    I looked into it and went back to the developer, and it appears that they discontinued developing Jax some time ago - evidently, it was buggy and crash prone. I remember after buying it, having problems with it - having never worked to its touted potential, but I didn't pursue it, and never uninstalled it. Leaving it in there caused all iTunes functionality to cease with the iTunes 10.4 update.
    If you've got Jax installed, consider removing it before updating to iTunes 10.4.
    My iTunes is now working right as rain, thanks again to Putaro!

  • I have a problem when try to select any of option from menu bar

    I have problem with mozilla since last update. When try to use any of options from menu bar, this appears:

    Also, i uploaded video to show how my problem appear.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shZGaZ0-_po

    thanks for reporting back with your details - turning off HWA might have slight negative effects on the performance/rendering speed of the browser but it shouldn't impact any functionality.
    i've seen a handful similar threads by users mentioning this issue since they've upgraded to firefox 18. so when it is a widespread problem, mozilla might further investigate this & offer a fix in a later version...

  • 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.

  • How do I delete items from menu bar  that are not part of the OS

    How do I delete items from menu bar  that are not part of the OS

    Perhaps you could be more specific, as it is a little difficult to answer your question without any details.  I can give you some general ideas though.
    On my machine there are a few applications that have installed items into the menu bar - I'm assuming you are talking about the icons on the right hand side of the top bar. To remove those items, I would generally need to uninstall the program that created them. To do this varies a little from application to application.
    Also, sometimes an application will have preferences that allow you choose if you want to display the item in the menu bar.
    So, my general advice would be that you need to identify the application that placed the item there, and remove it from your computer.  If there is an uninstall program for that application, I would run that in the first instance.
    If you don't actually wish to uninstall the application, you may need to click on the item or run the application and see if there is a setting to not show the menu bar item.
    Hope that helps.

  • 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.

  • Remove name from menu bar + possible bugs?

    Hello, I was wondering if it were possible to remove my name from the Menu bar. It currently says my full name and is clickable, dropping down to my icon and a link to the Login Window and Users & Groups Preferences (but there's no option to remove it in these preferences!) Thanks!
    Also, Is there a thread where we can post bugs we come across? Becuase I've found a couple.
    I'll post them here for now:
    1) When I go into Finder > Preferences, the menu box flickers strangely when I switch between the option tabs (General, Labels, Sidebar, Advanced).
    2) Scrolling left and right through folders in the Column view is hesitant. It doesn't flow smoothly like it does when I scroll up and down.
    If there's anywhere I can report these bugs, please let me know!

    name from menu bar:
    the easy way: hold command and then drag the name icon out of the menu bar (just like how you remove stuff from the dock with the difference of pressing command while you do it).
    the less easy way: open system prfs -> Users and groups [press locket if locked] then click login options and uncheck fast user switching menu

  • 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.
