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 Freezes when opening up a new document.

Hi there. I've been having problems for well over five days to a week now with InDesign CS5.
Both Photoshop and Illustrator work perfectly without any issues. But my InDesign will freeze every time I try to open any file. Or if I try to create a new document. If I don't try to open a file or make a new document, I can customize pallets, and edit other parts of the InDesign. It will then freeze up if I try to open up a new file document, or even when trying to open a document onto InDesign. Since the Deadly Beachball (loading cursor) comes up, I have to manually force quit it.
I've reinstalled the InDesign CS5 three times - all came out as the same outcome.
Adobe Support Advisor has not detected any problems with InDesign when I must force quit it.
I've updated all CS5 with the Application Manager.
Downloading CS.5 off the website and as well as Download Assistant has "failed to initalize" when trying to install it.
Is there any reason why InDesign continuously freezes every time I try to open it? Help would be nice.

Try removing your auto-activation plugins for font management, Extensis Suitcase Fusion seems to be generating a lot of this stuff.
If that's not it, well, instead of force quit, run Activity Monitor and garner:
1: Sample Process. Save to file
2. View > Send Signal: Abort (SIGABRT). This will force a crash and crash report.
Upload both files to http://pastebin.com/ and post a link here. Don't paste them in here, it makes the forum unnavigable.
I'll look at them and tell you the cause of the crash (probably).

Indesign CS5 and CS5.5 crash on new document / Lion 10.7

Hello!
In our agency we encountered a problem since upgrading to OS X Lion 10.7. Both our Indesign CS5 and CS5.5 keep crashing on us whetver we open an existing document or create a new one. We tried to clean-up our installations, deleted both, installed just CS5 and/ CS5.5 - trashed preferences etc. pp. Nothing worked.
Indesign opens like it should - but the moment we create a document it just hangs with the spinning ball - does anyone else can recreate the issue? We use no plugins in indesign only the app "Fontcase" from the Appstore to maintain our collection of fonts.. but we even tried to deactivate this app to see if it helps - no success.
We currently cant set up the system new since it is time consuming and just our last choice.. is there some other way to find the problem? We also never see the adobe crash-reporter.. not even after 10-15 minutes as stated in the lion os x issue list.
Thanks!

Ah, this is easy.

InDesign CS5 Not Responding When New Document is Opened

My InDesign immediately freezes and stops responding after I open a new document and move the cursor. The pinwheel appears and then eventually I have to force quit because it won't come back. I've never produced anything on this version of InDesign before -- I've opened it maybe twice since I installed the master collection last month. I'm using a 2010 macbook pro 15" with plenty of disk space. I uninstalled InDesign and then reinstalled it -- same problem. I removed the preferences and nothing worked. I have a huge project that needs to be done tonight and I am useless without InDesign! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is exactly what is happening to me.
"What OS are you using? Did this laptop come with Snow Leopard preinstalled, or did you install it yourself? Or are you still running 10.5? People who install 10.6 on top of 10.5 often report strange issues that are hard (or impossible) to track down and fix."
I'm using Snow Leopard, OS X 10.6.4, which came preinstalled.
It's a brand new mac so I have enough space and RAM. I already uninstalled the whole suite 3 times and reinstalled it. InDesign still crashes. Then I went a step further and installed my friend's adobe suite with my serial number. The InDesign still crashed. So it must be my computer? I took it to a department tech at my college and he wants to wipe the harddrive clean and see if that helps. But I'm really anxious to do that and want it to be a last resort...

InDesign CS5 - Crash upon Opening CS2 docs

I've just upgraded to Windows 7 OS, and have installed the Adobe CS5 creative suite. (Upgraded from CS2)
I'm having problems opening approximately half of my previously-saved ID CS2 files. Within 5-10 seconds of attempting to open these files with CS5, I get the following error message:
Adobe InDesign CS5 has stopped Working

Anyone else having this problem? I've tried opening the doc with two different PCs (both running CS5), but the same thing happens.

Corinne,
I used to work for Adobe in Seattle, so had some pretty good contacts on the InDesign team and sent them a message on Facebook. Most of their suggestions were/are what have already been covered here in this thread. So what I finally did was open up a Tech Support call. I'm too lazy to re-install CS4 on my machine to try and get my files to work. On the tech support call, the technician opened up an Adobe Connect Session so he could see my desktop and see what was happening. I tried opening one of the CS4 files that was broken and got the dreaded "InDesign CS5 has Stopped Working" with the only option being to close the program.
After that, the tech asked me to upload the file so he could work on it on his end.
When he tried to open it, he got the same thing and his determination was that something (likely a font or some 3rd party plug-in) was corrupted.
Here's what he did and how he fixed it:
Open file in CS5 - CRASH
Open file in CS4 - Works
Try to export file as .idml file in CS4 - CRASH
Try to change formatting, etc in CS4 - CRASH
At this point since I'm not running any 3rd Party plug-ins, he determined that it was a corrupted font (Pristina) that was causing the issue.
He copied all the elements over to a new ID CS5 file without any formatting using Times New Roman as the only font in the file
Resave and upload back to me
The new file opens just fine in CS5
SO if you're having a similar issue, you may want to open the file in CS2 and try copying sections of the document into a new document and saving that out. The tech said that they always use Times New Roman as the font to test with . . .
This is not the most elegant solution, but it DOES keep all your information and while my documents were all less than 25 pages, I was happy to just reformat without having to go back and recreate them from scratch. He said that for some reason CS4 was not seeing the corruption, but CS5 caught it immediately upon opening. I'm hoping the ID team is listening to this and figures out a solution for opening corrupted files. I've emailed my contacts there and told them I'd be happy to give them files to test with. No reply as of yet.
If you're interested, call Tech Support, the guys on the other end are fabulous!!! I even called back two days later with another file that was doing the same thing and happened to get the same tech. He knew exactly what to do and in less than 30 minutes was back up and running!
Hope this helps!
John

Indesign CS5 freezes when opening multiple files

When I try to open multiple files at the same time it will show the files on screen as if they are open but then a popup will come up that says "Open 2 Documents" and it never completely finishes loading and freezes up Indesign. I am unable to cancel the dialog box and have to use ctrl+alt+delete to close the program and then open the files one at a time. When I open the program again it then has the files loaded and ready to go. I am working on Windows 7 Professional and I don't have any Indesign Plugins that I use. Extensis Suitcase font auto-activation is turned off.

Dear all,
I think I have the same problem... or not ?!
=> When I try to open multiple files at the same time it opens only the 2 or 3 first ones then it freezes on the Spinning Beach Ball of Death !
=> Then it never completely finishes loading and freezes up Indesign.
=> I am unable to cancel the dialog box and have to use cmd+alt+esc to close the program
=> then, the files open directly on indesign when I open the program again (jus as if the files had been loaded and ready to go)
I am working on MAC OS X (10.7.3)
Anybody could help please ?? (sorry for my english... I'm a French native speaker)

InDesign CS5 crashes on opening new or existing file

I am getting error message 'embedded profile mismatch' on opening existing files (CS5 and CS3) created by myself and other people. The error message appears and InDesign crashes - I have to do a forced quit. On opening a new file InDesign crashes before the file is opened. I haven't yet managed to open any file in CS5. It is an update from CS3.

The profile mismatch warning probably has nothing to do with the crash problem. That simply means that your color settings are different in the new installation.
The continuing crash may be caused by a corrupt recovery file. If there is a file in the recovery folder, remove it and ID should start.
Try exporting the CS3 files to .inx from CS3 and see if those will open succesfully in CS5.

PS CS5 crash on "open new document"

Photoshop 12.0.3 running on XP sp3
-Photoshop launches normally
-I go to File>New
-"New" dialog opens normally
-I click OK
-PS sits for a few seconds and then the Windows "Photoshop has encountered a problem and needs to close..." dialog pops up
Crash also occurs when attempting to open the "Preferences" dialog
I have done the following to no avail:
-updated to the most current driver for my graphics
-updated PS to 12.0.3
-uninstalled and reinstalled my CS5 Web Premium
-reset my preferences during PS launch
I do not recall installing any new software prior to these issues starting
The Adobe crash report dialog never opens, it just goes strait to the Windows one
and as far as I can tell there is no way to Ctrl+C the info from the Windows report
therefore the only info from the crash I could find was from the Windows Event Viewer
unless someone can tell me how to find a more detailed report:

I do also have a "943c_appcompat.txt" file that was generated at the time of crash if it would help to post, but I don't think it is the actual crash report.

I finally contacted Adobe Tech Support and they had me do a whole list of steps, which resulted in PS working again, but disabled a bunch of other processes and applications on my computer. So while I was waiting for a return response from them on how to make my computer function again, I began systematically disabling and enabling processes and applications until I weeded out the culprit. Turned out when Avast Antivirus was running I encounter all my PS problems, but when I disabled it PS ran fine.
So as it is now, it seems Avast was the issue...

Indesign CS5 freezing

Help!
I have a intel core imac with 4GB of ram and plenty of hard drive space, and I just upgraded my operating system to 10.6.4. At the same time I also installed CS5 standard suite on the computer as my company is making the switch from quark to indesign for its publication design. Anyways, I can run photoshop and illustrator with no problems - InDesign however refuses to let me work on any document. I can open the application, specify that I want a new document and within seconds of opening a document InDesign will freeze. Before opening the document I can open the various menu bar options and change default fonts or preferences but once I open a document it freezes. I've spent an entire day trying to fix this by reading various posts and can tell you that I've done the following:
• Deleted and restored all the preferences.
• Changed the default font option.
• Uninstalled and reinstalled.
• Checked permissions and added myself (as recommended) with read and write permissions.
This is also a mutli-volume serial number upgrade with plans that I should be doing this upgrade to all the computers in our department. I can't afford to try this on another computer and see if it magically works for them and not for me. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I'm having a similar issue... Indesign CS5 freezing when I click to open any file.
However, I'm not on Snow Leopard. I'm still on Leopard.
My machine is a MacBook Pro 3.06 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, OSX 10.5.8, with 8 GB RAM. 500 GB HD with over 100 GB available.
I placed a post this morning describing my problem in detail but have received no response.
Have you found a solution? If so, please post. I've run out of ideas and don't know what my next step should be.
Thanks!

InDesign CS5 is not opening after deactivation/activation. How can I fix this? Illustrator and Photoshop open and are working fine. Please help!

First of all, thank you for replying so promptly to my posts this morning!
I can't remember how I got the software on his computer, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't through migration assistant.
I was looking into doing an uninstall of InDesign and a fresh install. However, I initially downloaded the CS5 suite digitally and I can't find out how I am able to perform a fresh install of InDesign. Do you know where I find this info or gain access to download just InDesign again? I can't seem to find anything in my Adobe account that shows where I might do another download.

How do I get the export value of a combox upon opening a document?

I can't find a way to access the currently selected export value from a combobox upon opening a PDF document (without a keystroke event), so I'm using a very ugly trick (I have a function with a switch statement that returns a value that matches the export value, based on the current combo face value.
Isn't there a way to retrieve the export value of a combo box upon opening a document?
Thanks!

The following code segment is for the change event of a comboBox.
Whenever a selection is made I want to populate a Form Field with the face value of the comboBox.
This isn't working - and I can't determine why -
it appears that I am not dereferencing the text properly - but this is my best effort based on my knowledge.
Can anyone help with this ?

Photoshop Freezes after opening a document

My Photoshop freezes after opening a document in it.
I tried installing the latest graphics card update (quadro k 600). and uninstalled and installed photoshop. i changed the computer. i added more RAM (24 G) without any luck.
do you have any idea why it keeps freezing every time i opened a document in after running photoshop?

Please read this (restoring Preferences after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved might be a good starting point):
