InDesign CS4 won't open...weird error

uuuuuuuh huh?
I have no idea what this is. Any clues? Indd won't run.

Any recent changes to ID or the system?
Although the message seems to refer to Flash Player, it's labeled as a font problem. Do you use a font manager? Any other third-party plugins for ID?

  • Shared Content InDesign Plugin for InDesign CS4 won't open file

    Yesterday I discontinued using Adobe CC and went back to using my Adobe InDesign CS4.  CS4 is working OK but there is ONE file that won't open.  I get the message "Shared Content InDesign Plugin is currently not available on your system".  The file will not open. Is there a workaround or how do I get the required plugin?

    You get that error when the file was saved in CS5 or later. You can find out the version using the script at Adobe Forums: [Ann] Identify Your InDesign File.
    You'll need to export the file to .idml from the newer version to be able to open it in CS4. This is something I normally offer to do, but I'm not available for at least a week, so perhaps one of our other regulars can step up and volunteer.

  • Indesign CS4 won't open or create new files. Why???

    I'm using Indesign CS4 and all of a sudden it won't open old files or creat new ones. I've restarted
    my machine and program and it still won't do anything. Any ideas?

    What sort of recent changes have you made on the system?
    What happens when you try to open files or create new ones? What OS? IS ID patched to 6.0.6?
    Have you tried trashing the prefs? See Replace Your Preferences

  • InDesign CS4 won't open at all!   I'm doomed!

    What happened? I've been using InDesign CS4 (bought the master collection) since March on my brand new MacBook Pro (2.93GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4 GB 1067 Mhz DDR3) just fine...the other adobe updater ran and now..nothing. I click on the app and nothing happens. Notning at all. No dialog box, no nothing. I rebooted my Mac and now my InDesign files that were on my desktop don't even have the purple InDesign thumbs/icons anymore. I see in my InDesign folder that the app is there (304MB) and but now there's another InDesignCS4 app (112mb) yet it doesn't have the purple folder icon...it looks more like a text edit doc or an incomplete file or something.
    I tried adobe updater again, to see if was an incomplete update, and it shows no updates for InDesign. Some other apps don't open anymore either, like After Effects, but Photoshop Extended, and Flash do open up.
    What's going on!? I have a big meeting tomoorow and I'm up a creek without InDesign.
    Again, all was fine two days ago. The updater ran on the 16th...
    Please help!
    Thanks,
    Derrick

    Thanks Steve,
    that link you gave me says 'Page no longer available. "
    I installed this at work, and the disks are are there, so I was trying to get it up and running before the AM.
    A couple of things I've found:
    1. A while back, I shortened the name of the app to InDesign CS4 (as opposed to "Adobe InDesign CS4" I took off the "Adobe" in front of it so it would be shorter in the dock.) I'm wondering if the updater was looking for the exact match, which is whay I got a SECOND "Adobe InDesign CS4" app in my folder that was only 114mb as oppsed to the full 300mb...Funny, I did that same thing with After Effects (removed the "Adobe" in front of the name) and it's doing the same thing (not supported). All other apps in the Master Collection that might have been updated two days ago are fine. Do you think the updater is that picky, and it installed the update as a seperate, unusable file? I trashed the smaller, newer (the one I got when I updated) Adobe InDesign CS4 in hopes that the old full app would open up as it did before and re-update. That's when I got the "not supported" message.
    Before I trashed the "smaller" app, nothing was happening at all when I tried to lauch either. At least now I'm getting the "Not supported" thing.
    2. I found a crash report in my app support folder:

    does that make any sense?
    any hel[p would be greatly appreciated.

  • Indesign CS4 won't open after updating to Yosemite. How can I fix this?

    I have a new macbook pro, just updated to yosemite, and I use the CS4 adobe suite almost daily. Photoshop, when I opened it, required a plugin which I downloaded and that works. Illustrator works fine, but Indesign begins to boot up, then crashes. Every. Time. I can't open anything. I know its not the latest version of indesign or anything, but shouldn't ID work too? Help me fix this! I use indesign more than anything else, and illustrator is not really going to be a good alternative for too long...

    If you want Yosemite that badly, reformat the hard drive and do a clean
    install of Yosemite followed by a normal installation of your software
    using the original media…no migration.
    You’ll have a much better chance of getting things working.

  • Indesign CS4 won't open

    I just installed the CS4 creative suite, and everything works but indesign. When I click on it in applications it instantly says that it quit unexpectedly. I tried the trial before purchasing and installing the software and didn't have any problems. I have a mac.

    It should fix the whole suite as it is the workround to the licence expire bug and you will be able to use the whole suite as normal (no trials). If this fails, you may need to use the CS4 cleaner (http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html) before re-installing again

  • InDesign CS6 won't open files

    InDesign CS6 won't open some files. No error message, simply returns to previous 'Open...' view. I've tried restarting, rebooting, resetting my InDesign preferences and re-unzipping the original zip file. I can still open previously worked on files, though. (Even in the second folder of unzipped files, it's the same files that I can and cannot open.) Any ideas? InDesign

    Ooh – I just had another look to check that they are CS6 files. The are, but each file size is 0 bytes – think that may be the problem! Thanks again both for responding so quickly. :-)
    That sounds like you have the resource fork for a Mac-generated .indd file. Check to see if there is another file with the same name but a real file size in the zip archive. I suspect the "real" file (the data fork) is being unzipped first, then the resource fork is overwriting without warning and you could solve it by extract9ng the files manually.

    Adobe InDesign CS5 needs plugs ins, but how?   Adobe InDesign CS6 won't open says OS problem.  Adobe upgrade site crashes on me.

    You might ask in InDesign to learn how to install plugins

    What IS your operating system, and which exact version?
    Is the link below where you are starting for upgrades?
    All Adobe updates start here and select product, read to see if you need to install updates in number order, or if the updates are cumulative for the individual product http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/

  • CS4 won't open now

    Can anyone help me understand why PPro CS4 won't open all of a sudden?
    I've tried rebooting, not sure what happened in the last 12 hours.
    I assume i'll have to reinstall the software, but does anyone know why this happens?

    Do you have SoundFlower installed?
    Do you have a lot of VST's installed?
    Those are two things that can affect the launch of a couple of Adobe programs. This ARTICLE (though written for the PC), might offer some things to ponder.
    Good luck,

    PS - there are some similar threads, where Mac users have had to do something with their log-in. They did not have to really modify things, IIRC, but just open up the control console for it. Wish I could give you more details, but I'm a PC-guy. There are maybe three threads recently.
