Indesign CS4 6.0.6 and Mac OSX 10.6.8

Indesign simply refuses to open. Icon bounces in the dock and then boom Problem report.
Photoshop CS4 opens no problem.
Any fix around this?
I have CS5, but there is one plugin that I only have in CS4 that I use and need to access it.
Thanks.

Indesign simply refuses to open. Icon bounces in the dock and then boom Problem report.
Upload the contents of the crash report to pastebin.com and paste a link here and we can give oyu some insight.
Also, you can open  Terminal.app and run InDesign from there and see if it produces any diagnostics on the command line.
Just paste in: "/Applications/Adobe InDesign CS4/Adobe InDesign CS4.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe InDesign CS4"
Note that you must include the quotes (which is unusual).

  • Indesign CS4 Help Menu not working Mac OSX 10.6.7

    Hello.
    The InDesign Help menu is a great thing. Use it every day.
    I use it most to find commands that I cant remember the keystrokes to. I activate the menu and start typing "find font" or whatever.
    The menu finds alternatives. So far so good. But when I want to choose one alternative, all that happens is the system error sound plays.
    Does anybody know how to fix this?
    Cheers.
    Mac Pro. OSX 10.6.7. InDesign CS4.

    I have two self-signed certificates that are marked as "not trusted", both created at the same date, but I did not remember doing that !
    They are named:
    com.apple.kerberos.kdc
    System Identity
    com.apple.systemdefault
    from keychain System, expired am Feb 11, 2011Shall I trust then ? Is that the reason for my lock problem ?
    +*I just notice that after locking the Keychain app, my problem is solved !!*+

    Hi, Accidentally somebody screw up Photoshop CS4 and InDesign CS4 Master edition on a MAC computer in the school. The install discs did not start to run therefore I can't  reinstall the 2 missing programs. I want to install the softwares, therefore I download those from here.  The downloaded program refuse to accept the serial number which was given to the school when they purchased the Master Collection CS4 MLP A00. Thank you for your help, in advance.

    Hi Jeff,
    Thank you. I am a little bit busy at work, sorry for the delayed reply. I tried to solve the problem, but it still exists. The 3rd of the Adobe disk is damaged someway. I tried to run on my mac at home and it has a failure. So I think we have no other choice that to download the full pack of master collection. I had a discussion with the IT expert and he figured out that company does not exist any more from where they purchased the Adobe Master Collection for Mac and PC. So If you would be kind to help me, what kind of information ID or any kind of document would be needed to identify the purchaser institute (us). I don't think any of us has an account at the Adobe. I will try to figur out. I desperately need to replace Photoshop and InDesign as without them it's really harsh to teach the kids fot the graphic design.
    Sincerely yours.

    my mac mini build is 11G56 and mac osx is 10.7.5 how can i install latest mac 10.8 and above

    Simply purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store and it will begin installation after the download is complete. Note that it's a large download, about 4.5GB, so you should have a good Internet connection..
    However... if I were you, I would just wait another month or so until Apple releases Mavericks - the 'latest' announced version of OS X -> http://www.apple.com/osx/preview/.
    No need to pay for two upgrades in a months (or so) time...

  • Can I use my InDesign program on my PC and MAC?

    Can I use my InDesign program on my PC and MAC?

    If you ask a question, you have to tell always which version you want to use. The answer depends on the version.
    In you case it depends additionally on the licence program you are using. EDU is different then others.

  • InDesign CS4 - placing Word document and style mapping

    Hi,
    I'm using InDesign CS4 on Windows XP (SP3). I've noticed that when I place Word document, do the style mapping and saving this as a preset ... mentioned preset does not save style mapping. It works for the first time but when I try another place with the same preset - it fails.
    Example:
    Heading 1 => InDesign_heading 1
    Heading 2 => InDesign_heading 2
    etc.
    becomes
    Heading 1 => Heading 1
    Heading 2 => Heading 2
    etc.
    Any help would be much thankful.

  • How do I get Windows's off my MacBook and Mac osx back on?

    I purchased a MacBook (A1181) off eBay "for parts" but the only thing it needed was a new battery. I turned it on and everything worked fine, only problem is that it's running Windows 7 professional and is password protected. When I contacted the eBay seller they said the Mac was supposed to be wiped clean and they could not help me because it was sold "for parts." I cannot log in to wipe and I don't have any original discs or any Mac osx discs. I want windows off and a fresh copy or snow leopard on my MacBook. PLEASE HELP

    You can use a Snow Leopard retail install disk to erase the drive and install 10.6 Snow Leopard.
    Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window.
    Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. You should see your hard drive in the left hand column along with your other drives. Click on the drive and select the Erase tab. Set the format value to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and click the Erase button. After that has finished select the Partition tab. Type in a Name for your hard drive and select how many partitions you want from the Volume Scheme. The usual setting is one partition. Click on the Options button after you've selected a partition to make sure it's set for GUID. Then click the Apply button and after the Partitioning is done quit Disk Utility.
    You can now follow the instructions on the install screen

  • Anyone having problems with AirPrint HP 5520 and Mac OSX 10.8.2

    Hi guys,
    I just bought my new Mini and my second HP Wireless printer.
    For some reason it does not connect to any of my devices. I have installed all updates, added the printer many times to my network etc.
    When I start my HP laptop is does work perfect to print wireless - but I am unable to find the printer with my iPhone, iPad or Mac Mini. Anyone having an idea what to do?
    I also configured the printer on Mac OSx many times..

    You can check the Net log in the Web Console (Web Developer > Web Console;Ctrl+Shift+K) console to see if there are errors with retrieving files.
    You need reload the web pages and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files from the server.

  • Photosmart D110a Wireless Troubleshooting with D-Link DIR-655 and Mac OSX 10.8

    Good evening all,
    Apologizes if this has already been posted. I've googled this issue a couple of times, but I still haven't found a solution for this problem.
    I have the Photosmart D110a and I'm running Mac OSX Mountain Lion, and my router is a D-Link DIR-655 and my security is WPA-Personal and the router is running in 802.11gn mode. My ISP is Optimum Online.
    The issue that I've been having is that the printer works wireless when everything has been recently booted up. As does the scanner. However, if it hasnt been used for a while, the printer shows up in the OSX Print & Scan settings page as idle, but when I try to print, the dialog just says "looking for printer" and never finds it, and just says "The printer is not connected" under the item in the OSX Print Queue. Because of this, I have to restart the computer or restart the printer for them to find each other again. 
    I've seen other solutions on here, such as giving the printer a static IP address, and this hasn't worked either. The printer is still accessible with the static IP address, which means it's still got a connection to my network, but for some reason the OS isn't recognizing it or something. 
    It's obvious that the printer works when everything is freshly rebooted, but I still haven't been able to figure out this issue once it's been idle for a while.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    Hi,
    Try following my post below, I believe it might be relevant as the router drops the Bonjour connection:
    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-Networking-and-Wireless/losing-connection-to-airprint-a-few-min...
    I would also suggest updating your router's firmware and check if that may help:

    For any help with this proccess I would highly recommend contacting Dlink support.

  • IPhone not updating due to lack of iTunes and Mac OSX update

    Hello,
    I have an iPhone 3GS running software version 4.1 and am needing to update it to the next version. When I click on the 'update' button when the phone is connected to my MacBook, a window pops up that says 'This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version'. I realize that iTunes needs to be updated as well, but in order to do that I need a different version of Mac OSX. I have an older MacBook and am currently running Mac OSX 10.4.11
    My question is: is the only way to update my iPhone at this point to purchase the OSX Leopard 10.5? I seem to be caught in a dilemna of not having the most up-to-date software on my computer, but I wish it didn't effect my iPhone performance.
    Any information would be helpful. Thank you!

    You can upgrade the MacBook directly to Snow Leopard for $29.00

  • Safari 3.1. and Mac OSX 10.5.3

    Hi everybody,
    I accidentaly dumped Safari from my system because I never used it and I didn't like it very much. anyway, I am using Opera but to set Opera as my default Browser I need Safari to change this setting. So I downloaded the new 3.1. Safari version but wasn't able to install it. I got the message that I need Mac OSX 10.2. or newer (wich I already have). So I tried to install the Tiger version as well (out of curiosity) but it didn't work either. Afterwards I was browsing through the threads in this forum and tried all the other suggestions I found, like:
    Installing the Safari 2.1. version from the install disk that came with my PBP. I was able to install it but when I tried to launch it I got the message that I cannot use this safari version with my Mac OSX version. And Software Update doesn't mention any Updates for Safari although an older version is installed.
    After that I downloaded Pacifist, repaired my permissions with disk utillity, re-downloaded the Safari 3.1 package and tried to install it via Pacifist. The .pkg file was a zero-byte file and whe I marked every file in the package, and clicked on the install button it seemed to work. I was asked for my admin password and wether I want to replace all the files connected to safari. I said yes (like mentioned in another thread in this forum). I quit Pacifist, logged out and in again but Safari is still missing. If I search for safari using spotlight, the only thing that shows up is the .dmg file.
    Does anyone have further suggestions??? I'd really appreciate it.
    I am really annoyed about all that and I don't understand how Apple can release a new version of their browser wich is incompatible with their new MAC OSX version...

    Try this:
    Go to /Library/Receipts and look for an item named Safari311Upd.pkg or something similar, and Trash it (don't empty the Trash yet).
    Decompress the Safari 311.dmg file by double-clicking on it. When it's done, open the mounted disk image (if it doesn't open automatically) and drag the pkg file to your Desktop. When it's done copying, close the mounted disk image.
    Launch Pacifist and open that package that's on your desktop. Click once on the top package icon in the Pacifist window and then choose Install from the menu, and be sure to replace all items related to Safari that it may find. When it's done, try launching Safari and post back with what happens. If everything is fine again, then you can Empty your Trash.
    As for Apple releasing a version of Safari that's not compatible with 10.5.3, that's not the case at all. It is entirely compatible; the fact that the OS is claiming something that doesn't make sense to you is not an indication that it doesn't work or isn't compatible.

  • Indesign CS4 - Export to SWF and font issue

    Hello,
    How do you embed a font in an Indesign CS4 document when you are going to export it to an SWF file?
    I have an Indesign CS4 document that uses a particular font.  This document is then exported to an SWF file which is then uploaded in our intranet website.  When users view the internal website, the SWF font uses a different font like Times New Romans.  I do not get this issue because I have the particular font used in that document installed on my machine.
    Are there any work arounds for this issue other than distributing the font used in that exported SWF file?

    InDesign should embedd fonts by default when exported to swf... may be you have some protected font in use? do you have problems with other fonts too? Quick and dirty workaround is convert your text to outlines... not good one but fast...
