InDesign CS5.5 freezes when placing/updating a image

This has been happing ever since I updated to Yosemite. Started off once every 5-6 times, now I cannot import/update at all. I go to update an image or place a new image and it freezes.
I have uninstalled InDesign, worked for a while, now stuck again. Suggestions?

Try trashing the prefs (see Replace Your Preferences), but I don't think CS5.5 is supported on Yosemite, so you're mostly on your own getting it to work. In-place upgrades of the OS tend to be more of a problem for old versions of ID than fresh installs.

InDesign CS5.5 freezes when creating an idml file

Good Day All,
I have been using inDesign since it started and have never come across this problem. I have a file that I intially created in CS4, converted to CS5 and now CS5.5. I have been trying to convert it to an IDML file and EVERYTIME it hangs and freezes. It actually produces a file but non-useable. I have been struggling with this for the last two days.
I have;
removed cache recovery files
looked at all styles to ensure optical kerning wasn't on (seems like a common problem)
rebuilt the file and renamed it
replaced Adobe Garamond Pro with Garamond Premier Pro
tried it on another machine
Re-installed CS5.5
I am using Windows 7 Ultimate with CS5.5 the document is about 11 pages long and packaged and zipped is 34.0Mb
I am starting to pull my hair out here!! Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks!!
Curtis

Thanks for the reply, but it didn't work. I tried to move the jpg but as soon as I get to that page or click on it in the links panel, I automatically get an error code: 3 message and then the software just cascades from there. When I try to relink the graphic in the links panel nothing happens. I even get an error when trying to unembed the graphic. I've tried just about everything. I'm think that if maybe I could just delete that entire page without actually looking at the page, I may be able to recover the rest of the document. This has been one of the biggest headaches I've ever had to deal with as far as software goes and I deal with it every day (I'm a developer). Any other suggestions are more than welcome.
Oh, and I wasn't sure how to "open as a copy." I made a copy of the file and tried to open it but it reacted the same as the original. Perhaps I misunderstood your meaning?
Thanks again for your help.

InDesign CS5.5 freezes when typing

When opening a InDesign CS3 file in 5.5 and I begin to type InDesign will freeze up. Sometimes it crashes other times I'll have to wait 10+ min for it to respond.
Below is the link to my crash report:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3960609/indesign_cs5.5_crash_report.txt.zip

First try exporting the CS3 file as an .inx file, then open that in CS5.5 and resave as a CS5.5 .indd file. Is this any better?

My copy of CS5 photoshop freezes when opening saved psds.

My copy of CS5 photoshop freezes when opening saved psds and currently I cant find my cd key for it (incase I need to reinstall) what should I do?

It was working 3 days ago fine and I have been using it since cs5 first came out. It will freeze on any psd now and Ive tried even with small psds under 20megabytes. I can create new psds but after saving them then attempting to reopen it will freeze.

Lightroom 2.6 freezes when trying to export images

I have been using LR successfully on a Windows XP machine for several years and using version 2.6 for the past several weeks . As of a few days ago, LR would freeze when trying to export images. The export functions of 'Export with Previous' and 'Export with Preset' seem to work without crashing LR but most of my exporting needs me the ability to adjust the export settings. Any advise?

I would guess LR only goes by drive-letter so if you've kept that the same it should be ok. Look for something else.
I would look in your Lightroom Preferences files to see if there is any drive letter that no longer exists.
On Vista/Win7 my LR prefs file is in:
C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Preferences
XP has something similar under C:\Documents and Settings\Local Settings (or Application Data)
If you open that file in a simple text-editor like NotePad then about halfway down (at least in mine) there are some export-related things that include the drive-letter and path on your hard-drive to various folders. You can find it by searching for:
AgMRUPopupList_AgExport_destinationFolderPathPrefix
Look through those and see if any of the drive-letters or paths are wrong and look around for other paths. The paths will contain
or
instead of \ because the low-level language routines LR is written with need it that way so if you change anything, keep the number of slashes consistent.
It could very well be that there is nothing wrong with any of the paths, so another approach would be to rename or move your preferences file to see if LR will recreate it with defaults for everything, and see if that clears up the lockups.
Whether you decided to edit or rename your preferences file, please make a backup copy so you can put it back in case something even worse happens and you need it back.

Preview freezes when trying to open images - other programs have no trouble

Preview freezes when trying to open images - other programs have no trouble with the same file. This problem is somewhat intermittent.
I have replaced the Preview application by moving a copy from another equivalent machine - no luck.
Did not find any preferences file trash, though I looked.
Is there one?
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Edwin,
The .plist for Preview should be located @ ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.plist (where "~" is your Home folder).
Trash the file, logout/login or reboot your computer and try opening the app and opening the offending file again.
Let us know if any luck with finding the .plist there and opening your file?

InDesign CS5.5 freezing upon opening new document Lion 10.7.3?

Hi there,
When launching CS5.5 InDesign, I select 'New document'. After it is setup (1-2 seconds), it freezes and InDesign is non functional and you have to force quit.
My console log states:
CFURLCreateWithBytes was passed these invalid URLBytes: ‘/Applications/Adobe InDesign CS5.5/Adobe InDesign CS5.5.app/Contents/Frameworks’ (a file system path instead of an URL string). The URL created will not work with most file URL functions. CFURLCreateFromFileSystemRepresentation should be used instead.
The freeze occurs in the admin account and logged in domain user.
I have tried updating InDesign- nothing.
Uninstalling through Adobe uninstaller and reinstalling- nothing.
Not using plugins. We are using Extensis Universal Type Client but I wuit it and turned off the Core to see if that helps- nothing.
Ive repair permissions- nothing
Rebooted- nothing
I ended up upgrading to CS6 and had no problems. I would like to resolve this CS5.5 issue though. Any help?

I copied Mac OS: [Startup Disk]/Library/Applications Support/Adobe/SING/Mark II/Datastore to the desktop and deleted it from that directory. Did the same for the Mark II folder (Solution 2)
-Failing that the first time, I uninstall/reinstall and didnt bother to update, which is why you see the original InDesign. I'll try and update InDesign and move to 10.7.4 to see if that does anything. My
Mac OS: [Startup Disk]/Library/Applications Support/Adobe/SING/Mark II/Datastore does not currently have these folders because I took them out. Maybe I'll run the crash report again and post it. I have to wait for the designer to finish for the day. I'll update possibly tomorrow.
Thank you!

InDesign CS5.5 crashes when trying to open ANY CS5.5 document

I am using InDesign CS5.5 and can't open any of my InDesign CS5.5 documents. The message "InDesign has stopped working" appears.
Even when trying to create a new document, again the message "Adobe InDesign CS5.5 has stopped working" - close programme.
InDesign was working perfectly on Friday. Saved and exported a file to pdf, all okay.
Are you able to help.

Hi Peter
I uninstalled the whole CS5.5, downloaded and ran the cleaning thing, reinstalled the whole suite but it came up with the message that the install had errors … every other module worked except Indesign which still did the same thing .. it would open, but not an existing or new doc … below is the error log
Did everything again.. same result
did it again but this time also deleted every folder with reference to 5.5 and cleaned the registry .. same result
finally, I did it all again, but this time did NOT install Fireworks (because of the error log below), 32bit Photoshop, Flash or the Apple support thingy .. and it now works !!
so it seems there is a problem with one or more of the above … was there an update around 24-26 May ??
Interestingly there's no icon against the Indesign program menu listing (but it still works) but the icon is still shown against all the 'indd' files
We rang support about 4 hours ago, they couldn't help but were going to look into it and get back to us 'within the hour' … needless to say they didn’t .. hope this 'work around' goes onto the blog and helps others
regards
Bruce

InDesign Cs5 keep crashing when open this file

Hi guys,
I am back for another problem with my InDesign. It's been a while since my last problem...
Right now I'm facing a new problem and I hope you guys can fix this with me..
So the problem is that just on this file.. Everytime I try to open it, it just crash. But it is fine when I open other files. Yesterday it was fine when I export as PDF, and even package the file. This morning when I tried to open it, it just crash...
The solutions I tried :
Troubleshooting 101: Export to .idml or .inx to clear file corruption
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/526991
(I cannot open the file because it says that the file is missing or in any other place..)
Troubleshooting 101: Replace, or "trash" your InDesign preferences
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2404821#2404821
and none of that works.
I even tried save As. Still not working..

Please help?
Thank you!

Hi Peter,
I was trying to export it as .idml and the program crash, so maybe it says file cannot be open because missing maybe because it wasn't finish to export and got crash. Maybe that is why I can't open it.
well the thing is that my work InDesign Cs5 is bootleg (boo! i know )
and i was once told not to update them. so i never update until now..
unless you have a thread where i can read the manual how to update bootleg?
Thanks Peter!

InDesign CS5 ACE exam - when is it available to take in London

Hello,
I have exhausted all means of finding out when and where the Adobe InDesign CS5 ACE exam will happen in London this year.
I have called Pearson Vue and they have no idea, they still have InDesign CS4 ACE exam listed.
I have also called contacts at Adobe and nobody seems to know there either!
I would like to take this exam before Xmas, is this possible?
Is there anyone out there who knows?! there must be somebody out there? ( :
yours anxiously,

[[Updates reported when running newest version]] - link
The cause could be due to your user agent being mixed up as 3.6.12 and 3.6.13 versions. I think downloading 3.6.13 from www.mozilla.com and then uninstall your 3.6.13 and then install the 3.6.13 you downloaded should fix it in this case. Your settings are in a separate place ([[Profiles]]) and not in program folder.

InDesign CS5 DDE Error when exiting

One of my users gets a DDE error when she exits out of InDesign.
"DDE Server Window: InDesign.exe - Application Error
The Intruction at '0x##############' referenced memory at '0x##############'. The memory could not be 'read'.
Click on OK to terminate the program"
She is using InDesign CS5 with the latest update applied. I believe it was 7.04. She is also using XP sp 3. I've tried resetting her preferences, as I noticed was recommended, by pressing ctrl + shift +alt on boot and rename the file name from the user folder. Neither fixed the issue. If I start a new file it doesn't have this error on closing, but it happens when loading up an old file and closing out.
Thanks

That sort of worked. When I ran the initial export of the file and closed
there was no error. If I opened the newly created idml file and closed it
would throw the same error. I decided to look into a theory I had about
saving. I loaded the original file that was giving me trouble. I made a
small change, saved the file, and closed. The error did not come. I opened
the file again and closed. The error was produced. It seems it happens
when you load an existing file and don't save/export your work.

InDesign CS5.5 freezes upon opening

As soon as i open InDesign CS5.5 on my Mac OS X 10.9.2 and try to start a document it freezes and the mouse turns into the colour wheel. It will continue to stay like that until I force quit the application. It used to happen in a trial version of InDesign CS5. I have updated my computer and reinstalled the application but it still continues to freeze. What can I do to fix it and is it an InDesign problem or a problem on my Mac?

InDesign CS5.5 crashes when trying to open or create files on Yosemite

Hi,
I've just recently migrated to a new iMac running Yosemite. Photoshop CS5.1, Illustrator 5.1 and Bridge 5.1 are working fine but I'm having major issues with InDesign CS5.5. Every time I try to open an existing file or create a new one the programme freezes and I have to force quit.
I've trawled the forums and have done everything mentioned including uninstalling/reinstalling, removing temporary cache files and preferences, removing Data Store, deleting the Adobe font list, and removing the SING component.
I ran Activity Monitor and have uploaded the details to Sample of InDesign - Pastebin.com and the Crash Report to http://pastebin.com/KdEEWadj
Please help, I'm getting desperate!
Thanks,
Dan

CS5.x is not compatible to Yosemite. It may or may not run, if it does never without problems.
Adobe applications should never be installed via migration. It is always making problems in the long run. If you have done so, deinstall them immediately, run Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool (available on Adobe's Website) and install any application from it original installer.
I recommend to upgrade to a CC subscription. CS6 might also work, but it is now very old and 2 to 3 versions after CS6 have been released. If you get a new system upgrade it is NOT guaranteed that it will work as CS6 is now at the end if not out of its product life cycle.

Imac freeze when I update to 10.6.8

HI,
It seems that prior updates worked. However, when I update to 10.6.8 my system will freeze. The only that that moves is my cursor.
I can be on the web, scrolling. It will happem when new email is being down loaded. I can be working on th PC side and will experence it.
I ran the "Disk" repair. But even after the run is done the system will work for a short while and the freeze.
Now I can reinstall 10.5 "Snow Lepoard" and not update to the latest "Package" update and all works well.
So the main question is "What gives?". Its very troublesome. Is there any soulition to this?

How much RAM is installed? How much free space on your hard drive?
How to Install Snow Leopard Successfully
A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
Boot from your current OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
C. Important: Please read before installing:
If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it. Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've restarted.
You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update. While the installation is in progress do not use the computer.
D. To upgrade:
Purchase the Snow Leopard Retail DVD.
Boot From The OS X Installer Disc:
Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
Restart the computer.
Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo appears.
Wait for installer to finish loading.
E. If updating:
Download and install update(s)
Use Software Update, or
Download standalone updater(s).
