Indesign cs3 for pc crashes when i save, or save as.. Urgent help

Hi my friends
Im new here
I m amateur and use In desiugn for a book I create each year for a friend. But this year I started to work on it and when I saved, the program frizz and I have to close it. i have a PC and windows XP
Same thing happened to photoshop, which I use very often and on the net I found the solution, desactivating version cue
But in in design I read all I could but I cannot fix it. I read some solutions here for MAC. I upgraded the last in design that gave me a 3.1.0 version but it crashed again. I dont know what to do and Im very delayed with the deadline
Sorry for my english I speak spanish but will aprecitatte any help.. is that CS3 is not worthy anymore'??
This is what I found on the net
PLEASE HELP ME WHAT TO DO , IS THIS REAL? THE SIMPLER ONE?? I deleted 3.1.0 and changed the name to 3.0.0. to 3.1.0 and do not work...
Please
Thanks

Thanks Pete
I did not install any new font
And I only upgraded windows service pack 2 I did not updated the 3 yet...
I tried today and Adobe Illustrator and same thing
So Its a general crash for CS3 maybe the suit needs a certain update I did not dod. The thing is the solution for Photoshop worked for PC but the rest of talks are more about Mac.
O will read what you posted, will take a bit more to analize it and decide what to do, not only for the english... but to be scare to do soemthing wrong.
Im not an expert as you seem to be but I loved this programs and Ive been using them especially photoshop for years and before In design I had Pagemaker but when I discovered In design,, I simple loved it
Anyway. Hope to be able to fix it before the weekend as I need to work on the weekend .
In case you find something more specifig... write some lines
Thanks a lot
thanks a million
Cross your fingers

InDesign CS3 (XP SP2) crashes when placing files

Hi,
every time I try to place an image file etc. into InDesign CS3 (Windows XP, service pack 2) the "place" dialogue pops up for a split second. Then, InDesign freezes. Version Cue is not activated (when I was activated Photoshop CS3 would do the same).
I'd be more than happy if someone has a hint since naturally InDesign is pretty useless when you cannot place anything. On a sidenote though you can drag files from the explorer into CS3 without it crashing.
Any help's greatly appreciated.

Sorry to hear the trick didn't work. Another oft mentioned idea is to open a dialog in Photoshop and resize it. A third is to hit Alt + Spacebar, then M, and then an arrow key, and finally to move the mouse around and see if the dialog appears at the edge of the screen.
The 3-key keyboard shortcut only works when you are opening InDesign from the start menu or a desktop shortcut, and you have to be REALLY fast. Renaming the prefs files (while ID is closed) is more reliable, but won't give you any indication that the files are being replaced, other than you'll see the welcome screen and everything will be reset to defaults.

InDesign CS3 & Leopard - Continual crashing all the time!

3 months ago (Jan 2008) when Adobe released update 5.0.2 to InDesign CS3, the release notes read:-
"This update does not address recently identified issues running Adobe InDesign CS3 on Mac OS
X Leopard (v10.5.1). Known issues include the following:
• Users are unable to hide InDesign CS3 using the cmd+h keyboard shortcut.
• InDesign CS3 may unexpectedly quit when using the Place, Save, Save As or Export
commands using either the OS or Adobe dialog boxes.
Unfortunately, there are no workarounds for these known issues. Adobe and Apple are working
closely to provide fixes. Initial testing indicates that these fixes should be provided through an
update to Mac OS X Leopard. Consequently, it is not part of the InDesign CS3 5.0.2 update.
No public schedule for these fixes is available at this time, but both companies understand their
urgency and are working to address this."
It's just as bad (if not worse) in 10.5.2. 3 months and no solution. No word from Apple, even though my work G5 is submitting several crash reports per day to both Adobe and Apple.
If anyone from Apple reads these lists, could they confirm they are going to fix this, or do I revert to Tiger, trash Leopard completely.
<post edited by host>

Hey, I've also been having the same issues with InDesign CS3 since installing Leopard on my iMac G5 PPC... have reinstalled said OS and software 4 times now... but still getting crashes and the dreaded 'serious error...InDesign is shutting down...' warnings when relinking, replacing and exporting (sometimes when saving too) in ID.
It seems there are so many of us having these problems, so at least it isn't user/machine-specific (unless I need more RAM..). However, one of the support guys at Apple (UK) gave me another helpful (temporary) fix, which works until they fix it PROPERLY. I tried working from the Desktop and cutting/pasting everything into a new file, but this one works better:
Quit ID, go to your User (the house symbol)>Library>Caches>Adobe InDesign>Version 5>'InDesign Saved Data' and add '.old' onto this file or just drag it to the Desktop.
Then go to Library>Preferences>Adobe InDesign>Version 5>'InDesign Defaults' and add '.old' onto that file as well or drag it to the Desktop.
Then restart ID and you'll notice your preferences are back to default (i.e. picas instead of mm/inches etc.) and no more crashes - until you start changing the prefs again....
The other tip was that the account you work from has become corrupted, but I found the above fix works for a while. Hope that's helped, but like the rest of you, this problem is wasting valuable working time and needs sorting ASAP.

After the latest Security Update 2012-001 (Mac OS X 10.6.8) my Adobe Photoshop CS 8, Dreamweaver 8, and InDesign CS programs crash when I try to save a file.

After the latest Security Update 2012-001 (Mac OS X 10.6.8) my Adobe Photoshop CS 8, Dreamweaver 8, and InDesign CS programs crash when I try to save a file. HELP!!!

Howdy,
Apparently some are reporting that this causes the older PowerPC (PPC) applications that are supported in 10.6 via 'Rosetta' to crash upon attempting to open/save/print using any dialog box, or fail in other similar ways such as simply not printing or quitting, or freezing/hanging/crashing of the application.
I have read of some companies that have indeed submitted proper bug reports to Apple, but that is not a guarantee of a bug-fix being issued.
You might wish to read:
http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/snowleopard/index.html#d02feb2012
If you are unsure if you are still using PowerPC apps, if the application is currently running, look under the 'Activity Monitior' (in Applications -> Utilities), or alternatively you could check in the System Profiler, Applications. Check the column "Type".
Here is a fairly simple way you can restore you system and restore you applications functionality again, if you don't have a recent clone or good Time Machine backup that you can restore from. If you do, restore from your backup prior to having installed the Security Update 2012-001.
Time Machine restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
If you are restoring a backup made by a Mac to the same Mac
With your backup drive connected, start up your Mac from the Lion recovery partition (Command-R at startup) or Mac OS X v10.6 installation disc. Then use the "Restore From Time Machine Backup" utility. Select the backup prior to your issues, and it will be restored back to the state it was in at that time.
If you can't easily restore from a backup, you can instead do the following:
- You first start by reinstalling your OS X 10.6.x, this will preserve all your user data, your applications, no worries there.
- Then install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 (links provided below)
- Make sure you're printers are showing up correctly in your system preferences, if not, re-add the printers
- Then finally, run the Apple Software Update (by pulling down the Apple Menu), and install any and all remaining updates, except do not then re-install the Security Update 2012-001. It is possible that you may have to reboot after installing some of the updates, and you may even need to run it a 2nd time to make sure that you've got all updates, except NOT the Security Update 2012-001.
Links for 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1:

Am I the only one for whom Illustrator 5.5 unexpectedly crashes when I try to save a doc?

Am I the only one for whom Illustrator 5.5 unexpectedly crashes when I try to save a doc on Yosemite?Compatibility with Yosemite — Illustrator CS5.5

Various folders. It usually allows me to re-save older files, but a new save is practically impossible to accomplish. I tried Reducing Transparency, as suggested in earlier posts to no avail. Also, when I drag an eps icon into Illustrator, it asks me if I want to retain the 9-slice scaling options for symbols — not sure what that means. Tried that both ways, with no results. Just had it crash on me 8 times this evening!

My illustator crashes when i try to save can you please help?

My illustator crashes when i try to save can you please help? im using Cs6

Archelass,
If the crashing happens when placing from/saving to new location with Yosemite, you maybe able to get round it by using the Adobe Dialog instead of the OS Dialog in the Place window (similarly for Save As in the Save As window).
If crashing happens when moving objects, the issue may be caused by the Chrome Pushbullet extension, see this post #3 by Matt with the solution,
https://forums.adobe.com/message/6984777#6984777
or by the Adobe Color extension, see this post #2 byhexxstatic with the solution,
https://forums.adobe.com/message/7095368#7095368
or by the cache on the computer, see post #5 in this thread by Booklover with the solution,
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1696375
Or, when issues start to appear in general you may try the list.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

InDesign CS5.5 keeps crashing when I open a particular document

InDesign CS5.5 keeps crashing when I open a particular document. This suddenly started happening a few hours ago, and other files are unaffected. I downloaded a backup from last week and that was fine, but I need to get this latest version working again. I've cleared out the Recovery folder, deleted Preferences, and even reinstalled InDesign - all to no avail.
I'm running Windows 8.
Any help gratefully received!

Even after emptying the recovery folder?
It's either a damaged install or a bad font or some other conflict. Do the font trouble-shooter first, then move to checking for a conflict.
To check for a conflict, go to the start button and in the Search field Type msconfig to bring up the configuration utility. Open it, go to the Services tab and click the box to Hide All Microsoft Services. You can uncheck just about anything that's left (for diagnostic purposes) except FLEXnet Licensing Services and a service starting with ##ID_String... which are part of the Adobe licensing sytem and need to be active for Adobe product to run.
Now switch to the Startup tab, and uncheck everything except your mouse driver and the Adobe Service Manager for this version.
Reboot. Ignore the warning about startup in diagnostic mode for the moment and Launch ID and see if it works. If it does, go back msconfig and add back startup programs in groups, rebooting each time and repeat the test until you get a failure. If all the startup programs work, repeat with the services tab. If nothing causes a problem I have no idea what's going on.
On the other hand, if ID fails again straight off with all that stuff disabled, the installtion is corrupt. Run the cleaner tool (CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3) and reinstall while still in diagnostic mode, then run msconfig one last time to restore normal startup.

What's the benefits of Indesign CC over Indesign CS3 for print design?

What's the benefits of Indesign CC over Indesign CS3 for print design? I'd like to know the advantages and features – all those I read about are to do with EPUB, collaborative working, teams or digital designs, and those don't reflect my work.

Very important is the span column paragraph property which allows to span several columns in a text frame or to split a column in several sub columns.
Very important is the tag feature, which is also important for creating PDFs with unlimited access.
A lot of problems with footnotes and page layout have been solved due to a better text engine. Up to CS5.5 it could happen that a footnote could force a page be empty when a document was opened.
With CS5 rounded frame corners which are editable were introduced.
Object Styles have been completed since CS3.
Content tools to create linked content were introduced. You need only to change the original content (text or image) and all linked content will be updated as any other link. The linked content can be in the same and in any other document.
Since CS5.5 it is much easier to anchor frames in a text flow with the little at the top of a frame symbol.

Statechart module: crashes when I want to save state

I am using the LV Statechart Module (version 8.6.0). LabVIEW crashes when I want to save a state (by clicking "OK" on the state dialog). The crash does only occur if I have some member VIs of a quite large class hierarchy in the state. It does not occur if I for example just wire through the simple error cluster that is part of my state data cluster.
Does anyone have an idea how I could avoid this problem?
The LabVIEW failure log file is attached.
Thanks in advance for any hint.
Solved!

Looking at this quickly, I do not know the core root cause, but I am guessing that you could work around it by putting your guard or action code into a subVI and using that subVI instead of placing the code directly in the guard/action. Something appears to be going wrong as we try to commit the guard/action VI you created for the state - I am guessing there is a bug in this process as it encounters some of the class stuff you are using, and using a subVI to wrap it will avoid this.
Any chance you can provide the files needed to reproduce this (either here or privately if you prefer). The stack tells me a little bit but we'll have a much better chance of resolving this fully in a future release if we can reproduce it here.
Thanks,
Nick

WHY MUSE 2014.3 crashes when I try to SAVE or SAVE AS ?

Please MUSE team, I need your help.
MUSE has never failed before to me ... just after update to 2014.3 it crashes when I try to SAVE or SAVE AS .. it freezes and I have to FORCE QUIT from MUSE.
This site is already LIVE and need to make some updates for today .. I've emailed to [email protected] attaching the screenshot and the MUSE FILE.
Their answer is not clear ... I don't know if they will do something or I should do something in addition to what I sent ... PLEASE I have a compromise with my client and feel totally unsupported by you.
Screenshot HERE
MUSE answer here

theEvaSite,
I had something similar happen to me yesterday and after contacting Adobe Support, I had to send in my file so they could repair it. There are several other cases of issues when downloading the update, uploading files, etc. If you can open the file inside the new 2014.3 update, make changes, but cannot save or upload to FTP, etc...it's probably a file error issue that occurred after the 2014.3 update. The tech told me to downgrade back to the previous version for the time being so that I can still work and update the website. That requires an older file that was not converted after the update though. Hopefully you back up your muse files.
To downgrade and work around this, uninstall the Muse app. Delete preferences. Go back to the CC panel/dashboard and install the previous 2014.2.1 version at the bottom (you'll have to click on the little arrow/gear icon just above the muse install button to select "Previous Version."
This worked for me. Hope it helps

Quicktime Pro crashes when I try to save movies

I just bought a new macbook pro yesterday. Upgraded from Quicktime 7 with registration key to QTPro for sole purposes of converting my flip camcorder files from AVI to something recognizable in IMOVIE '08 (apple doesn't seem to support AVI???).
I am now able to open AVI in QTpro, but it crashes when I try to save or save as or anything really.
Desperately seeking help. Thanks

Download VLC Media Player & Perian to play your .avi files inconjunction w/QT.

Hi Lindsay, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Could be many things, we should start with this for safety...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
Try deleting this file & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SystemProfiler.plist
Does it work now?

Photoshop CS3 is now closing when I attempt to save any file on our network.

Photoshop CS3 is now closing when I attempt to save any file on our network.
This has been occuring for the past few months. I have 8 years with this not happening on this machine and this network. I now have to save to my desktop, then move the file to the correct folder, re-open it and work from there. Any ideas to fix this??

Hi Andy,
This workflow might be working for you however it is not the ideal or correct workflow.
Please refer to below article.

Photoshop is not supported while working with network drives. I would recommend an external or a local drive instead.
Thank you for posting on Adobe Forums.

InDesign CS4 - Windows 7 crashes when Edit Original

Ever since I upgraded to Windows7 my InDesign CS4 will frequently crash when I click in an image to edit the original, usually the image is a psd. I did not experience this problem using Windows XP CS3. Since I upgraded both my Adobe suite and my operating system at the same time I am not sure who is the culprit.
Has anyone else had this happen? Any ideas as to what is causing this?
It certainly gets frustrating trying to get work done with this going on.

I don't remember anyone else reporting this, and a forum search seems to bear this out, so this isn't a common problem and is likely to be something specific to your system. Are you getting an error message?
