Indesign CS5 does not force quit

ID CS5 froze when I tried to copy and paste an image from one layer to another. Then it wouldn't force quit. I had to hit the Power button on my MacBookPro to restart. This is not the first time this happens. What's the story with force-quitting? I've never seen this before in previous versions. I don't want to have to restart my laptop this way on a regular basis. Any advice?
Much appreciated!

It's happened again. ID froze again, and I can't get it to force quit. Here's how it happened: I selected 4 boxes to make them fit the images i was importing. ID CS5 then froze, the spinning ball appeared, but when I click on Force Quit, nothing happens. I'm going to have to hit the power switch again to get restarted. There must be something I can do about this. What? Please, I hope someone has a clue.
By the way, I recently ran Disk Warrior and permissions, so I know everything is (or should be) running ok. I also took my laptop to the apple store 3 days ago and they ran diagnostics on it, which showed everything ok with my hard drive.
If anyone has any insight into this problem, I'd be most grateful.

Have just down loaded Yosemite over Mountain Lion, Indesign CS5 does not work ( Am dependant on it) although Bridge , Light Room and Elements operate OK How do I solve this rapidly. Can any one help on this issue. Thanks

Sorry to say it, but I think you can see from Bob's response that there's no way to solve this rapidly.
Did you take an image of your Mountain Lion install before upgrading to Yosemite? Roll back to that. If you're not in the habit of taking a snapshot of your system before performing operating system upgrades - get in that habit. If you are dependent on anything at all on hour computer, having a reliable backup method in place is essential. If you don't have a Time Capsule, or some other way to run Time Machine onto a disk that's not in your computer, go set that up yesterday.
If you can't just remove Yosemite and roll back to Mountain Lion for whatever reason, you can partition your drive so that you can install both Yosemite and Mountain Lion on the same drive, and then boot into Mountain Lion when you need to work in CS5. Or you can take your Mountain Lion disc (I assume you have one, no?) and then use it to create a virtual machine in something like VirtualBox to run Mountain Lion from inside Yosemite.

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.

FOrce Quit not forcing quit

The optioncommandESC force quit command isn't bringing up the force quit menu. I have to right click the dock icon in order to force quit an application. Now, a few months back, my SHIFT key on the left side stopped working, and it eventually popped off (me trying to figure out what was wrong). I thought maybe the OPTION key or the COMMAND key were inoperable as well, but that's not so because I can do this : œåΩ√ˆ∆, etc and the COMMAND key works for other functions that need it.
Any ideas?

Well does the force quit window come up from using the apple menu force quit option?
I am asking to make sure the issue isn't the you can't get to the force quit menu al all.

Photoshop CS5 does not print amount of images accurately!

Photoshop CS5 does not print amount of images accurately!
what ever you ask for above 1 copy of an image you do not get it..
you ask for 5 you get 1 you ask for 8 you get 1.. sometimes you get the leftover amount from the previous image printed on the new image..
adobe support has no idea about this problem..I'm assuming most people print one image and they don't recognize the problem since CS5 is just on the market... try print multiple copies and see what happens?

The solution is purported to be to get a driver update.
Since the problem seems to be a "delay" or "staging" of the values being sent to the driver through some intermediate location, a workaround has been proposed that may be helpful. This may depend on the printer driver:
1. Set the copy count you want.
2. Hit the Print Settings... button.
3. Go into the Printer Driver setup screens and verify the copy count.
4. Then do the print.

Hang logs don't mean a thing to me, unfortunately. We normally ask users to convert hangs to crashes using activity monitor, then post the crash log (see Adobe Forums: InDesign CS5.5 Not Responding), but at this point it's entirely moot since trashing the prefs solved your problem.

I have an old version of InDesign CS5, have not used in a while..about a year. It will not load nor allow me to uninstall and reinstall, please help. I have original discs and serial number. How can I fix this?

CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3

My problem started when system preferences was unresponsive and would not force quit. I tryed to restart and got the grey screen, but it never restarted. I closed the lid and now the screen is blank. Has anyone had a similar problem after Lion?

No, as I have yet to be convinced on Lion.

Photoshop and Bridge CS5 does not auto rotate SOME images.

Photoshop and Bridge CS5 does not rotate SOME of my vertical images. Most other photos taken in the same time frame and with the same camera display perfectly.
Orientation is checked for display under Preferences, Metadata, Camera Data.
There also seems to be a discrepancy how Orientation is described under Metadata for those images which DO auto rotate : sometimes it is -90 (which is how I hold the camera for verticals and which displays on most verticals) and sometimes it is "normal" even when it has auto rotated the image. I do not understand this difference.
"Normal" is also used to describe the orientation of those images which DO NOT auto rotate for viewing.
The photos in questions were taken using a Nikon D-300 which is programmed to indicate the orientation of the camera and has always been programmed to do so.
I know I can manually change the orientation but we are talking about hundreds of images (I have over 10,000 photos in all; most of which display fine).
What should I be looking for to explain and correct this issue?
I appreciate anything you can do to help. Thank you.

Thanks for responding to my query. I'll check out the thumbnail size.
It is just so curious that 90% of the verticals auto rotate and the rest do not. The ones that do not rotate are even from different years (other images in those years work fine), although all taken with the same camera.

Bridge in CS5 does not recognize card reader

Help! Suddenly, my Bridge in Photoshop CS5 does not recognize my card reader. I have a HP Pavilion Elite HPE that has the card readers (for 15 different cards) built into it and all of a sudden it will not recognize the card reader drive. I have uninstalled CS5 and re-installed it thinking that if the path had been broken that it would be reestablished by the reinstallation, but that did not happen. I have checked the device manager on my HP and it tells tme that this drive is working correctly, but however, it is not evidently working correctly. Has anyone else had this happen to them and if so, what was the solution? I have an e-mail to HP for tech support, but have not heard from them as of yet. Thank you in advance for your input.

You want to at least choose the 1st, reset preferences.
Purging the cache can solve some problems, it will be rebuilt as you visit each folder.
Resetting Workspaces is probably not necessary unless you have display problems.
To view the files in Win. Exp. you have to open then navigate to the device where the card is being read.
If you can view the card in W Exp then the card works, and you can get photos in Bridge with File/get photos from camera.
If you do not get the auto load window when you stick the card in you will have to look at the autoload optons in the Op. Sys. Look in Help file for info. on where to look.

When opening a filn in illusrtator CC I have memory plroble,. Opening the same file in CS5 does not make problems

When opening a filn in illusrtator CC I have memory plroble,. Opening the same file in CS5 does not make problems.
How can I get in contact with an adobe employee, where I can finally solve my problem with CC (with whom I can send email back and forth or who calls me)... On my PC CC does not work well... I often need to use my old CS5 version.

You have not provided any proper system info, so nobody can even guess.

I upgraded my Mac Pro to Yosemite and now CS5 does not work.

Help.....Adobe Photoshop CS5 does not load now that I upgraded my MacPro to yosemite....anybody have this problem and how was it fixed?

Yes. The Yosemite upgrade is notorious for damaging CS5 installs. Please reinstall and let us know how it goes.
Also make sure Yosemite is upgraded to 10.10.1
The reinstall will set your instal to 12.0.0 If Help > Updates does not work, go here Adobe - Photoshop : For Macintosh
download and apply the updates for Photoshop and Adobe Camera Raw.

Why Bridge (CS5) does not make a PDF file from multiple images

Why Bridge (CS5) does not make a PDF file from multiple images? It used to work fine earlier, but now nothing happens when using OUTPUT for web or PDF.
I have uninstalled and installed my PS three times allready, so please not suggest that, it didn't help.
I have Creative Suite Premium, mac os x 10.6.8

Hi. You’ve posted your question in a forum that is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop. I'm moving your question to the Bridge forum for specialized attention to your situation.
