InDesign CS5.5 hangs and running slow

My InDesign C5.5 is running extremely slow, some files are slower than others. When I create a text box and begin typing it will hang anywhere from 2-5 min on average. I've turned off the preflight function, set the Live Screen Drawing to Never, reinstalled fonts and still continue to have the hang ups. I've also tried exporting as .imdl, creating a new document then dragging the existing file to the new document via the pages panel. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. Below in a link to my crash report

It's been years since I configured startup programs on a Mac. Can you still choose a custom set of extensions? If so you can build a basic set with network access and font book to try, but I'd like to know if ID runs without them, and how well. It will tell us a lot.

I am running InDesign CS5.5 and trying to open an In Design File but getting an error message. " Cannot open the file "PDavidLCover.indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file me be open in another application."Please help I really need to get this file open.

Since you've shown us the folder contents it's a good bet it isn't in use (no lock file). And it doesn't look like the file is mis-named as there doesn't seem to be anything else there that would be the .indd file (but just in case, open it in TextEdit and paste the first few lines here so we can see what the file header says), so the most likely case is the file is damaged. Is that on a removable device of some sort?
You can try the tool at Repair corrupt InDesign Adobe files on Mac OS X or send me a link to the file by private message and I'll try the recovery tool I have for Windows.

InDesign CS5.5 and CS6 Breachballs

I'm running OS-10.7.4 on a 2011 MBP.
About every 3rd time I try to open a document created in a previous version of InDsign I can the endless spinning breachball.
Force quit works but then, I must re-launch holding down shift key to tried to prevent InDesign form restoring from back up which alway causes a freeze.
Is there anyway to stop InDesign from trying to restore.
Or is that the fix for the unstable nature on InDesign CS5.5 and CS6?

If you subscribed to iTunes match the songs are kept in icloud. If you didn't but you did save the actual iTunes library folder which should include the music, video, etc. you should be able to just drag this file back to your machine in the same place and when you open iTunes it will give you a chance to identify the iTunes library folder.
You can test this to find out if you saved the media files or not and don't need to attach your nano to do it.
You are correct that once you connect the nano it will clear the existing files from it and sync it with the new iTunes library.
If you don't have the media files i'm not sure if/how to get them back on a windows ipod. I have everything backed up regularly because of the horror stories I have seen & heard.

Where can I find the Java SE 6 runtime download so I can get Adobe Photoshop CS5 up and running again.

Where can I find the Java SE 6 runtime download so I can get Adobe Photoshop CS5 up and running again. I have to go this route. Currently on my Mac, I need to be running Java 7.65 for work-related stuff. I went to the Java site, but could not find anything that simply says "Java SE 6 runtime" ... Or, is there another way to get CS5 up and running with my recent Yosemite download?

No, I can't go that route. I have to stick with my current Java 7.65 ... Our IT department said just to download SE6 Runtime separately ... If I was understanding that correctly. Or, can you have two different versions of Java running ... 6 ... and 7.65?

Adobe InDesign CS5.5 and CS6 keep crashing

InDesign CS5.5 and CS6 keeps crashing while working on the documents. It's hard to identify the patteren when it's crashes. I deleted the SING/DataStore. Used FontNuke to clear all font caches but none of those helps. CS 5.5 and CS6 are installed on different macs but both crash.

Thanks in advance.

I'm not an expert in reading crash reports, though I do recognze a few of the more common ones (which this is not). You read them from the top down, so the fisrt line in the crashed thread is the last thing it was doing before the crash. In the case of the CS6 crash you posted, the fisrts 8 lines of thread 0 are Apple code calls, and the last thing that was happening in ID had to do withteh Object Widget Library (I think that's what OWL stands for).
John Hawkinson is our real expert in this, but he doesn't come around this forum that much these days. You can gain some insight into reading the reports at Guide to Interpreting InDesign Crash Reports | InDesignSecrets

Need to download InDesign CS5 v7 and Acrobat Pro 9.

I bought CS5 master collection last year through my college. I have a valid professional licence and serial number for all included products.
The problem is, when I purchased it through the school, they only provided a digital download of the software, and did not provide us wth CDs.
I need to reinstall InDesign and Acrobat 9, but the software has been taken down off my college's website.
I also cannot download them from adobe, because they only offer InDesign CS5.5 and Acrobat Pro X which I do not have a serial number for.
Does anyone know where I can download versions of these software?
again I need:
- InDesign CS5 v7 (not CS5.5)
- Acrobat Pro 9
(I legally paid for these software and have a legal and valid serial number and licence)

Thanks for the link.
However, whenever I try to click one of the download links I get this error:
Access Denied
You don't have permission to access "http://trials2.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/STAM/CS5/osx10/MasterCollection_CS5_LS1.dmg?" on this server.

InDesign CS5.5 and CS6 Hang while opening document

hello,
I have the following problem:
Indesign CS5.5 CS6 and hang up several times a day when opening documents on. the user can not make more in the program and must kill the process. After reopening the document opens without problems (probably the recovery file). I have tried all known solutions (delete Preferences, user with admin privileges, delete caches, safe boot, ...)
here a hang report, which meanwhile has been created.

InDesign CS5 hangs when conecting to network volume

Not sure if this is an InDesign issue or Mavericks problem, so I’ve posted here and there.
This problem only happens with InDesign if I have our file server connected (a share point on another mac running 10.5.8). If it is unmounted all works as it should.
Setup: Mid 2010 Mac Mini 2.4 Core 2 Duo with 8gb ram
I have:
Trashed various InDesign pref files
Reinstalled mavericks via the recovery partition and it’s on 10.9.4 with everything updated
Uninstalled InDesign using their own uninstaller - checked the included all prefs option
Reinstalled InDesign and updated it to 7.0.4 (CS5)
I then Repaired Permissions and ran maintenance scripts too.
Restarted
... still have the issue.
This is what happens if the network volume is mounted and I’m connect (as Guest):
InDesign will load
I can create a new blank .indd and save it
I can open that blank .indd
I can open that blank .indd if it includes just text
I can open that blank .indd if it includes just text and images (not located on the network volume)
If I open that blank .indd and it includes images that a located on the network volume or any pre-existing .indd which have images from the network volume InDesign hangs once the open dialogue box closes, after a force quite an .idlk file is left behind in the finder.
If I place/insert an image, the Place dialogue box opens and I can access the desktop & the documents folder via the sidebar and place/insert images from there into the document. But InDesign will hang if I select the Users Home folder, the Dropbox folder or any folder from the file server.
As I said this only happens in InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop can open files from the network volume to their hearts content without issue.
Console log:
When I open the open or save dialogue in InDesign I get the following looped in the console – it will only stop looping those lines once I quite InDesign.

Clearly InDesign does not like the network volume attached or there is some sort of permissions problem going on, I have no idea why this is happening, other machines running Mavericks and InDesign 7.0.4 have no issues.

Upgrading to osX Yosemite seems to have solved this issue

Solution to InDesign CS5 Hang After Start

I was having a problem with InDesign CS5 where it would go through the whole start up process and then just hang, with a white box in the middle of the screen.
Here is what I did to fix it, although this is more of a hack than a real fix. I already posted this as a bug report so hopefully Adobe will come out with a dot release to handle it.
What seems to happen is that InDesign is looking for an internet connection right after it starts, and when it doesn't find one, it will keep trying if you have a network cable plugged in.
You can either un-plug your network cable before you start InDesign and it will start up just fine (you will have to do this each time you start InDesign) or you can go into the plug ins folder Applications -> InDesign CS5 -> Plug-Ins and find the PMPack folder in there is the plug-in for the welcome screen called PMWelcomeScreen.InDesignPlugin if you take this out of your plug-ins folder then you will be able to start InDesign without unplugging your network cable, but you loose the welcome screen.
There you have it.
Hope this helps someone.

Thanks for the suggestion on the welcome screen. I wanted to make sure that I didn't run into that the problem again. I work in an office were all our jobs are kept on a server, so I cannot afford to disconnect the network cable just in case I have something else open in another application and this is the only thing that worked .Prior to that I tried uninstalling and re-installing InDesign many times and under a new user, when two of my co-workers who have totally different machines than me had the same trouble I figured the only common denominator between us was that we were on a network and not connected to the internet from our working machines...
I am running OS 10.6.3 on a Mac Mini (2009) 2.0 GHZ core 2 duo, 4 GB of RAM.

InDesign CS5 hangs when opening files

I have recently begun experiencing a problem whereby I cannot open any existing InDesign documents. I can create new documents and work in them, but I cannot open any documents previously created in CS5.
InDesign CS5, MacBook Pro, Mountain Lion OS 10.8.2, Intel Corei7
The problem appeared shortly after the most recent Apple OS update so I suspect that may be causing this. InDesign just hangs with the beachball trying to open the file which it never does. It gets past linking files, then hangs. The problem has also occurred when I try to open files with InDesign CS6 on the same machine. I have tried to open a variety of different files and the problem still occurs so it doesn't seem to be file specific.
I encountered the problem a few days ago and somehow resolved it through a combination of trashing preferences, removing the SING folder and some font management. Today the problem returned and I can't seem to resolve it via any of those methods. All other Adobe CS5 and 6 apps work just fine.
I saw a post that recommended removing the SING plugin from InDesign's plug in folder so I tried that too. So far no luck.
I've attached the crash report and the Sample Process report from the Activity Monitor.

Why does InDesign CS5 hang when packaging files?

When ever I go to "package" a file, it gets to about 95% complete and hangs. Although the file and all associated fonts and images does appear to have been packaged, I have to force-quit and re-start indesign. I'm on a Mac using OS X 10.6.8.

When it hangs, run Activity Monitor, select InDesign, and run Sample Process. You'll get a report. Upload it to http://pastebin.com/.
Then, chose View > Send Signal: Abort (SIGABRT). You'll get a crash report. Upload that to http://pastebin.com, too.
Post both URLs here, we'll tell you why it hung.
