InDesign CS5 not responding

I have document size of 55 MB and has 52 pages with text and pictures. But when I try to delete or insert pages the programms stops responding. We have tried to edit this document on different computers (bigger RAM or videocart) but it will bring us to same result.
How can we resolve this issue? Because this document will be updating annualy.

That size seems large for a .indd file. Does it have a lot of embedded image content or complex pasted vectors?
The first thing you should try is a Save As to a new file name. This will remove old and useless change data from previous editing. If that is not sufficient to solve the problem, the next step is an export to .idml (see Remove minor corruption by exporting). If that still does not work we're going to need to know your OS before we can tell if there is any kind of error reporting that would be avaialable for diagnosis.

  • 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 6 not responding when adding new pages

    Hi folks,
    I'm having a continuing problem that sees InDesign 6 "not responding" every time I try to add a new page or duplicate a spread on a document I'm working on.
    This doesn't seem to be a problem on a new document - only on my working file, which is due at the printer tomorrow!!
    Can anyone offer any advice as to what the problem may be.
    Typically, I need an answer ASAP.
    many thanks
    Peter

    Try exporting to .idml and working with that. See Remove minor corruption by exporting

  • ID CS5 Not Responding upon Packaging

    Hello,
    For some time now, (Since my upgrade from CS4 to CS5) when I attempt to package a design file it often crashes ID. (Not Responding) I'm running a 27" iMac, Intel Core 2 Duo, OS X 10.6.7 with 8 GB ram.
    It will generally allow me to go as far as selecting what to package. Fonts, Images, etc. I found if I deselected the fonts for packaging, it will usually collect with no problems.
    I figured it was some font issue hanging ID. Of course I have repaired permissions and ran disk first aid just incase it was a machine problem. All clear. I also ran FontDoctor which found no errors.
    Here's where things get strange - If I leave open the Force Quit Appications window and then package a larger catalog file, even with fonts unchecked, the Force Quit Appications window will show InDesign alternating between not responding and responding. If I allow this to go on long enough, it will generally output the collected file...or crash entirely. ID looks quite unstable on my machine during this process.
    If ID hangs long enough, a report is generated, which I dutifully send along to Adobe. Has anyone heard of this strange and annoying issue. For the record, it never happened to be on any previous version of ID. Only CS 5, and yes, I ran CS 4 on this same machine - no packaging issues.
    Thanks for any advice.

    The hang reports are not the same as normal crash reports. They are analagous to running Sample Process in the Activity Monitor, but they are a more vague indicator, telling you statistically all the things ID was doing in the period of time sampled, but leaving the human to guess at which was problematic, which may not equate. Whereas when there is a crash, generally it's clear exactly which routine was at fault, though of course sometimes it's not obvious why.
    I'm not sure why you don't see the crash logs as well. But fear not, I'm sure you'll have the opportunity to see them again unless the problem is solved.

    That is, the packaging code called the EPS Page Item code, which called the Photoshop Import Filter, which called the AdobePSL library, which ultimately asked the system to allocate memory.
    This suggests that the problem relates to some particular EPS file you have in your document (not a font). So I would try process of elimination with such files (divide and conquer). Save As to a tempory workign file. Delete half your images or half your pages. See if the problem is solved. Lather rinse repeat. Of course, if the problem is not 100% reproducible, this is a big pain. Still, it's the way to track it down.
    I suspect that AdobePSL is the Adobe Photoshop Library, though that's inconsistent with the finger-pointing at an EPS file. I wouldn't expect PSL to handle them at all, and would expect PSL to be used for PSD files primarily. But still speculating.
    Anyhow, there's quite a lot of stuff going on in PSLInsertGuide. I have no idea what that function does, but it seems weird to me that EPS files would have guides at all (PostScript has no such concept!), though of course postscript files (and Photoshop EPS files, and Photoshop PSD files) might very well. If you figure out what file it is, determining if there's something strange with guides in it might be helpful.
    As for your screenshot...it's tough to know what's necessarily relevant. The complaints about scripting additions are presumably because you have a non-Intel version of some Quark scripting addition installed. You can certainly try removing it, but I'd be surprised if it helped.
    malloc() failing is fascinating, especially correlating as it does with your hang report. malloc() is the routine C programs call to allocate memory dynamically. Anywhere from a few bytes to much much more. If malloc() fails badly enough to log to the console, I would have expected it to crash the program hard, rather than just sitting there spinning between 11:37:42 and 11:39:40. There's no accounting for taste.
    malloc() is calling mmap(), a routine which controls the relationship between virtual memory pages and...other things. It's apparently doing so with a size of 802 megabytes, which is the sort of thing that's not expected to work and probably indicates a bug. And it gets back error code 12, which is:
    $ grep 12 /usr/include/sys/errno.h
    #define ENOMEM   12           /* Cannot allocate memory */
    Not a shocker.
    Anyhow, there's some food for thought.

  • Indesign CS6 not responding

    I have CS6 design standard, indesign stopped responding earlier in the week, I can't remove it from the dock. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it a number of times but it still won't open. I get messages saying "You can’t open the application “Adobe InDesign CS6” because it is not responding." and "The application “Adobe InDesign CS6” is not open anymore." when I try to open it. All the other applications are working fine. I have it on my laptop and there's no problem with it there. Obviously I'd rather work on my desktop than my laptop! Also I don't want to have to go down the route of downloading and paying for the CC version when I have the software.

    I don't understand what that is. I can give you all the information regarding the computer/software. Why do you need crash logs? The application isn't crashing its not responding at all

  • Adobe Bridge CS5 Not Responding

    Periodically I will click from one folder to another folder in Bridge CS5 and it causes Bridge to freeze and give me a "Not Responding" message. I have never had a problem when running a batch or image processor through Bridge, just when clicking from one folder to another folder. Is there a way to prevent this from happening? If someone could explain it to me in a very simplistic form I'd appreciate it!

    If you are building cache when you go to a folder, a spinning arrow in lower left corner, and then click on another folder before the process is finished Bridge can balk.  You can get a contaminated cache to foul things up.   To rebuild the cache for a folder click tools/cache/purge cache for xxx folder.
    You might compact the cache (edit/preferences/cache) to reduce its size and make it run more effeciently.

  • InDesign 2014cc not responding

    I just purchased and installed InDesign 2014cc. So far I've used Photoshop with no problems however I am experiencing a real problem with InDesign
    It all began trying to open a document I built in InDesign CS6. When I double clicked the document it automatically began launching 2014CC, not CS6. The document and pallets appear on screen but then a window pops up titled "What's New". At that point nothing more happens. It stops responding. It seems from the activity on my modem that the blank window is trying to load Adobe information online but nothing shows up in the window.
    I tried calling up the computer's "force quit" window and nothing happens. The keyboard is seized up. I can move the cursor on screen but it won't allow a click on anything.
    I have to force a shutdown on the computer in order to get out of InDesign. When I reboot, since InDesign was running on shutdown it automatically boots too. However, at that point I can force quit it and in the "force quit" window is states "InDesign not responding".
    I'm not using any 3rd party plug-ins but the problem seems to be with the "what's new" window as the document shows up perfectly behind the window.
    I'm using a Mac Pro 2 x 2.66 dual core processor (1st gen Mac Pro), OS 10.7.5 with 8GB. According to Adobe this shud run InDesign.
    I know this isn't the Illustrator Forum but when I launch Illustrator 2014 CC it launches fine but the informational window which won't come up in InDesign populates with text that is twisted at a 45-degree angle! It cannot be read. Wish I knew how to disable that window.
    Anybody have any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Tony

    I have had the same problems as every one for a while now with all my Adobe products.  I thought is was my computer and almost bought a new one to fix the problem.  About the only thing that works is rebooting.  I have found that my mac email program and google seem to make the  problem worse.  I read my email and do my searches then close and reboot.  I have begun to leave my force quit window open.  I have seen that at times, programs I was not even using would (fail to respond).  It got to wondering if the computer was trying to reboot a program I was not using which caused it to slow down the program I WAS using.  I also wondered about the font activation (I use suitcase) and was about to upgrade hoping to fix the problem,  but I saw a post about the same problem with a different font controller so that cant be it.  For now I force quit what I am not using and at times either refresh the finder or go a full shutdown.  I have also tried unplugging my computer from the outside world.   I wondered if some outside source is peeking at my keystrocks phishing to send me adds I dont want. Guess as bad as it sounds I am not the only person having the same problem.  Hope we find an answer soon- this sucks

  • Indesign cs6 not responding on Mac

    I am trying to open indesign on iMac sox lion but the program does not get passed the startup part then says not responding. I am using all the other applications from creative web premium and they are working fine.

    Did you migrate the applications from one computer to another? Migration doesn't work with InDesign. It needs to be reinstalled from the original media or backup.

  • Premiere Pro CS5 Not Responding (Freezing) When Working With Other Programs

    Hello,
    I have a performance issue with Premiere Pro 5.0.3 version. When I have the program open and bounce to another program or Windows Explorer window lets say to drag in an asset such as a music or video file and then when I make the Premiere window active the program does not respond for a good 15 seconds, then after some processing (you see the mouse icon change and hear the hard drive chugging), I am able to again work. This is happening every time I switch windows to work on something else. Even if I just click away to another window and click right back without doing anything else, it does this non responding action. It even says it in the title bar (Not responding). I am wasting so much time waiting for the program to respond.
    My system :
    Windows 7 Ultimate
    Intel Core i7 CPU 860 @ 2.80 GHz
    8.00 GB of RAM
    Quadra 5800 Nvidia graphics card
    Drobo Pro 24 TB drive (where my project files, music & video files live) connected via iSCUSI
    Sonnet 4 TB raid drive (scratch disc) connect via ESATA
    Dual Monitors
    Please help!
    ~ Doug

    Doug,
    Similar had plagued earlier releases of CS5, but I thought that it had been addressed with the CS5.0.3 update. Maybe I am wrong.
    There were several other threads here, with similar problems. Maybe they contain some tips that will help. The "constant" seemed to be shifting focus from PrPro, and then back to PrPro.
    Good luck,

  • Reinstalled InDesign does not respond

    Hello, I have a new hard drive and reinstalled CSS 5.5 and while PhotoShop and Illustrator work fine, InDesign didn't respond. I removed the RecoveryData file and deleted the preferences and no luck. So, I uninstalled InDesign and reinstalled it and the same thing is happening. I can open ID but any move forces the application to "not respond." I would appreciate any help as I've been reduced to using ID 2 on an older computer. Thanks.

  • InDesign CS5 not recognizing font style

    I recently installed InDesign CS5 on a Windows 7 machine. One of the fonts I have installed (both in the Windows/fonts folder and the InDesign font folder), Futura Lt Cn Bt, only shows up as an italics style, not a normal style.

    The italics version shows up in ID and is installed in both my main font folder and my ID fonts folder. However, the "regular" or non-italics version, is also installed in my main fonts folder. I seem to have found a solution by finding a free download of this style (i.e. non-italics) of Futura. It created a separate font entry in my ID (rather than just adding a different style to my exisiting Futura Lt Cn Bt listing), but all seems to be working. Thanks for your help!

  • CS5 not responding after opening Bridge and Camera Raw

    I have been using bridge, camera raw and cs5 since it was released. I have not any problems until this morning. I am able to open Bridge and Camera Raw, but when trying to open PS CS5, it does not respond?
    Any suggestions?

    Try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776?tstart=0
    You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
    This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
    A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

  • Illustrator CS5 not responding during rendering

    Hi,
    I have a strange problem that I don't understand, maybe someone can help me?
    I run Illustrator CS5 on a win7 64bits / i7 / 8 Go RAM / ATI Radeon HD 5470 and each time I want to apply a simple 3D effect (3D rotation), AI is freezing during the rendering... The aim is to do a disco ball by revolution of a half circle with a map art for the disco ball faces. Everything is OK until I try to change the disco ball perspective axis! Illustrator is not responding anymore and win7 ask me for closing the program.
    I have already try different issues without success:
    - change the scratch disk
    - improve the performance : closing all running applications, simplify win7 display settings (disable aero,...), clean/defrag the disk, the register and memory, define a swap up to 24 Go
    - ramdisk dedicated to readyboost, scratch disk of AI and swap
    It usually freezes after 50% progression, with the optimized performance it goes sometimes until 90%...
    Thank you in advance!

    You simply have too many blend steps and it's running out of memory. Expand the "More" section to control that.
