InDesign CS4 will not run under Lion

I have InDesign CS4 and Design Suite CS3. All my other CS3 apps run under Lion. The Upgrade to Lion failed leaving my internal unbootable, so I installed and migrated to an external drive. But after the upgrade to Lion all of the other CS 3 aps run, IDCS4 will not run. I get the following message:
Adobe InDesign is missing required system fonts or CMap files. Please reinstall InDesign.
I used the uninstaller and reinstalled. No affect. I made the Library folder visible. No effect. I cant

There is a very long list of incompatibilities with Lion:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/905/cpsid_90508.html
I'm sure there are many more that are unknown.
FWIW, I highly recommend sticking with Snow Leopard for now and when you do upgrade, do so as a clean install.
John will be along soon to tell you to ignore the man behind the curtain.

Indesign CS4 will not launch in Windows Vista

Indesign CS4 will not launch but all other CS4 programs will in Windows Vista, has been worked perfectly up until mid february, I have spent two weeks dealing with Adobe support, and finally I ran “Windows Installer Clean Up” and restarted as requested on phone call to adobe today, then ran “WinCS4Cleanupscript” which inform me that it was clean (or words to that effect) and restarted. Did new install of CS4, at registration I noticed that the Reg Form was pre filled and with my preferences which was a bit strange. After all that Indesign still does not launch but is running. Please can anyone help.

This is the earlier thread http://forums.adobe.com/message/2621367#2621367
I think the onus is on Rapport to sort its software to prevent it interfering with other applications, and there is a post in that thread that indicates that Rapport is both aware of the problem and is working to overcome it.
I would hope that Adobe itself would have picked up this problem by at least monitoring this forum, but other than adding it to the knowledgebase for its technical support, which I don't expect is an overnight thing to do, I can't see what else it would be expected to do.
Perhaps if anyone from Adobe is monitoring this problem they could chime in here and let us know what the position is. I strongly suspect that Trusteer may have been the reason I couldn't get InDesign to run under Windows 7, and so I rolled the whole shooting match back to XP. I am planning to reinstall W7 with the knowledge that I may have to toggle Trusteer on and off to run InDesign, but it would be helpful to have some assurance from either party that a fix is on its way.
In the previous thread the Rapport response implied there was reference to the problem on its FAQ page. If there is I can't find it.

SQL script runs under SQL Devoper, will not run under UNIX, SQLPlus

I have a sql program I developed under the SQL Developer tool and it runs fine. I have ftp'd the sql to the Unix server and I am trying to run the same program under SQL Plus in unix. The program echo's back the line number that is the last line number in the code before the 'Exception' code in the program and it goes out into never never land.
I can't figure out why this runs under SQL Developer but will not run under SQLPlus in Unix. Any ideas would be appreciated!!!!

Assuming that the ftp process did not append any invisible characters(which it usually does) at the end of each line,
did you put the '/' symbol at the end of your program before running in sql*plus
something like
begin
end;

I have a Novatel U998 Turbo Stick that will not run on Lion because it is designed for 32 bit. HELP

I have a Novatel U998 Turbo Stick that will not run on Lion. Can Lion be run as 32 bit? If so - how??

Lion includes a hybrid Kernel, as well 32bit and 64bit core OS. By default it will boot the 64bit part.
press 3+2 keyboard combo on bootup. This forces 32bit mode for the Kernel ( the apps are still 64bit default ). 6+4 will force 64bit mode.
The 32bit Kernel can load 32bit drivers ( kernel extensions = *.kext files in /system/library/extensions ).
The 64bit Kernel will not load any 32bit drivers
if a Application makes problems in its native 64bit mode, you can force it to run in 32bit compatibility mode by revealing it in Finder, "get-info" on the Apps Icon and checkmark "run in 32bit mode".
No matter which kernel is booted, 32 or 64 Lion can always execute 32 and 64bit apps.

Is it true that MS Office Suite will not run on Lion?

is it true that MS Office Suite will not run on Lion?

Office 2004 was written for PowerPC. To run Office 2004 on an Intel based Mac, you need Rosetta to translate PowerPC instructions to Intel instructions. OS X Lion no longer includes or supports Rosetta. As such, any application written for PowerPC no longer work on Lion, including Office 2004.
Office 2008 and Office 2011 were written for Intel. They'll work just fine on OS X Lion.
To address your problem, you can do one of the following:
1) Reinstall OS X Snow Leopard from a backup, if you made one.
2) Upgrade to Office 2011.
3) You could use a suite of productivity apps that can import Office documents, such as OpenOffice, or Apple's iWorks. There will be some incompatibilities between these applications and Office though.

IPhoto does not run under lion OS

I have a 27" iMac purchased in 2010. The hard drive recently went bad but Apple support was able to save my data and replaced the hard drive.
I just upgraded the OS to Lion 10.7. Now my iPhoto will not run. Get the error message "Lion does not support PowerPC applications."
What should I do. I do not want to purchase iPhoto 2011. I have Photoshop Elements 9. Should I just move my photos over to Elements or can I download a free version of iPhoto? I like the simplicity of iPhoto for presentation and small changes.

I think you need an upgrade. If you have a PPC version of iPhoto it must be several years old. You needt to upgrade to the current version. You can purchase iPhoto by itself from the App Store for $20.00.

InDesign CS4 will not open. Crashes on startup - Lion 10.7.2

I just migrated all of my files from our old Quad Core G5 PPC to a new Quad Core Intel Xeon Mac Pro. I'm running Lion 10.7.2 with 16GB of RAM and plenty of hard disk space. Illustrator CS4 opens and runs fine. However, when I tried to run InDesign for the first time (and all subsequent times - about 10 now), it brings up the initial Adobe startup window, lists what is loading (plugins registering), etc., and part way into that process it crashes consistently.
Many of the files our organization needs to complete its year end reporting, donor updates, and board of directors collateral is trapped in ID and cannot be completed until this problem is rectified.
Anyone? Ideas?

I have this issue also. InDesign [CS4] begins to start up, the "initializing..." label appears, then it immediately quits. Started after I had to revert back to 10.7.3 from 10.7.4 due to frequent and incessant kernel panics in 7.4. I tried uninstalling all CS4 apps (using the CS4 uninstall tool), then ran Adobe Cleaner Tool, then did a clean install of CS4 (Design Premium), including a fresh input of the serial number. All other CS4 apps open normally.
Interestingly, upon your suggestion, I created a new user account, then tried to open InDesign there. It opened normally, so at least I can use it in the "Test Account" I created. Any suggestions on how to get it to work in my account?

My copy of Adobe InDesign cs4 will not open a regular idml file.

I opened my document, and all it said was "cannot open the file "Tightsketch_charrette2.idml". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application" I tried opening other idmls that I knew were not corrupted and I recieved the same message. I checked the plugins, they are all enabled. I quit all other programs, no luck. I restarted the macbook, no luck again. Could I recieve some help? My Indesign cs4 is fully updated and Im having all these problems.

I have good news, and bad news.
The good news is that the file opens correctly here in both CS5.5 and CS4. The bad news is that means there's a problem with your CS4.
I would start out by trashing your preferences. It's fast, easy to do, and not overly destructive, and if you are lucky it will even solve the problem, but I wouldn't put the odds of success at more than 50/50. See Replace Your Preferences
Do you have a Time Machine backup? If you do, the next thing I would try is restoring the InDesign application folder from a time before the problem started.
If all else fails, it's probably time to bite the bullet and break out the installer. First try running a "repair" install on top of what's there. If that, too, fails, then I would uninstall CS4, run the CS5 clean tool (which can also clean up CS4 -- see Resolve installation problems with CS5 Cleaner Tool), then restart the computer and reinstall. If you have any customized stuff you should make copies of things like shorcut sets and workspaces that you can put back as explained in the thread on resetting the prefs.

Indesign CS4 will not launch

I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit OS. I have some Master Suite CS4 apps loaded. I recently used Acrobat to convert an Indesign document into a pdf. Now I cannot open Indesign either from the start icon or by double clicking on a file name. When trying to start the app the "hourglass" cursor shows for a second or two then revers to the inert curser. Has any one else had this happen please and is ther a cure other than a re-install ?

I don't run Rapport or Win7, but I suspect there must be way to turn off Rapport when you are not doing your banking so you can have it when you need it (Task manager, if nothing else).
Ken Grace has posted in a number of similar threads that Trusteer is aware of the issue and hopes to have it fixed in "a couple of weeks" (their words).

Illustrator CS4 will not launch under Snow Leopard

Hi there,
I've just done a clean install of Snow Leopard on my Mac. Here's what I did.
1) Installed Snow Leopard 10.6
2) Installed all OS X updates (including 10.6.1)
3) Installed Quark Xpress 8.12
4) Installed Adobe CS4 Design Standard
5) Installed all Adobe updates (no updates related to Illustrator)
6) Installed Extensis Suitcase Fusion 2 (v13.2.1)
Photoshop launches fine.
When I launch Illustrator it crashes just after the splash screen appears.
Any ideas please?
Can't find anything on web really - if can't get an answer soon then I'll have to go back to Leopard .
Thanks,
Mike.

I would suspect Suitcase and perhaps a corrupt font might be causing this issue and the data base is now corrupt.
However before really pointing the finger at any software try this remove all unessential fonts then
do this
first quite Illustrator and then;
I would go to Users/username/Library/preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS4 Settings folder and trash that settings folder.
then see if Illustrator is running fine. If not try a new user account if it is running fine under a new user then I would think it is font data base.

IWork '09 programs will not run on Lion

I have iWork 09 installed on my MacBook Pro. After installing Lion, none of the three software programs will open. I get an error telling me to contact the developer and make sure I am running the most current version of the software. I have run all the standard Software Updates and everything seems to be up to date. I have tried downloading the iWork updater v9.1 but when I run it, it tells me that my version of Keynote is newer than the update and then quits.
Anyone have any ideas?

Office 2004 was written for PowerPC. To run Office 2004 on an Intel based Mac, you need Rosetta to translate PowerPC instructions to Intel instructions. OS X Lion no longer includes or supports Rosetta. As such, any application written for PowerPC no longer work on Lion, including Office 2004.

InDesign CS4 will not launch but other apps will

So I was using InDesign yesterday, it closed itself, and I haven't been able to open it since. CS4 Design Premium on Windows XP pro SP3.
I click on it and nothing happens. The other problem I'm having is with Acrobat 9 Pro.. it opens for just a few seconds and then closes.
All the other programs in the suite open and function fine.
I tried uninstalling Acrobat and InDesign, then reinstalling and that didn't solve the problem. I then uninstalled and reinstalled the ENTIRE CS4 suite and that didnt' solve the problem. I am at my wit's end.. what in the world could be causing just InDesign and Acrobat to do this?
Thanks for any quick responses!!

Try this, or if that doesn't work post in the Indesign forum.
