InDesign CS5 stopped working and Can't drag or drop

A colleague of mine has a Mac G5 with OS 10.5.8 and Adobe InDesign CS5 installed which has suddenly stopped working. On top of that she can't drag or drop items either. She didn't have this issue yesterday. She didn't install anything new or added any new hardware.
Does anyone have a solution?

Hello,
In the Finder, at the locations/folders she's trying to Drag & Drop, & see if they're Locked or whaat Rights she has.

After system restore CS3 stopped working and can not be uninstalled

I did a system restore (W7) and my CS3 apps stopped working with the message "Licensing for this product stopped functioning. Currently you cannot use this product. Solve this problem by uninstalling and reinstalling or contact support." I tried to uninstall but the installation manager returns a list of applications with red X and "unsuccessful" next to it. Reinstalling it from the dvd returns: "Installation error, can not continue. Contact support. Internal error 2739". I do not really want to reinstall the whole system since other Adobe applications (PS CS6) work just fine.

MTS files in CS6 Ppro project stopped working and can't be imported anymore

In a project from 2013 (PPro CS6) some of the MTS files stopped working. When I try to relink or replace the footage, I get the message that the file has a unsupported compression type. I never got this message before. About 70% of the MTS files in my project have this, the remaining clips work fine.
Did anyone have this too, or does anyone know a solution?
Thank you in advance for the replies.
Best regards,

I tried to add the newer TLF swc to FLash CS5 (pointing to it in the library path), but it didn't work.
So, we'll wait till Flash team releases next update.
Thanks for the clarification,

HP 1536dnf Scanner stopped working and can't download driver

Hello, The scanner application for my printer stopped working about 4 mo ago. I was using Windows 7 and had since then uninstalled the whole printer driver and removed the printer and re-downloaded the full feature driver. I tried to install the driver mulitple times but failed each time. I was able to reconnect the printer, but was never able to download a scanner driver and application successfully. I dug through multiple answers on the forum in hopes of a solution. I have already tried seeing if it had to do with my firewall or anti-virus. I have Norton 360 Premier. I even dug so far as to see if my installation of Windows 7 was corrupt and have had no luck in a solution. I have since upgraded to Windows 10 and received the an error again. Below is the error I recieved (which is ther first time it stated this particular error.) Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try a different browser, e.g. Firefox or Chrome instead of Safari.

My finder stopped working and can't open windows or folders

Help! I believe it might have been because I have attempted to upgrade my OS and failed. After the reboot, all the icons of folders on the desktop did not get displayed (but the names can be seen) and no operation relating to opening a Window or folder works. So I can't get to any files, except those that are already on the desktop. Any suggestions on how to fix the problem or who to turn to? Oh yes, the OS is slow also, the wheel of death comes out very often now. Other then these two issues, applications (which I can access through the Dock or Spot Light) seem to work fine. I am in Shanghai, China. Thanks in advance.

It sounds like the issue is not with the email, but with the iOS software and more specifically the firmware. Try to save whatever files and documents you can. Sync the files with iTunes or make certain they are copied to iCloud. Then perform a DFU and restore the iPhone as new.
Read each of the steps before initiating the DFU.
!. Connect the iPhone to any computer running a fully updated version of iTunes.
2. Press and hold both "home" and "sleep/wake" buttons
3. After eight seconds let go of only the sleep/wake button.
4. Keep holding the home button until you see a popup mesage in iTunes.
5. Read all all the popups, then use iTunes to update the iPhone's software.
If the popup fails to show, repeat steps 2 through 4

Update software. If that doesn't work try resetting. Mine started working after the update.

Error message Adobe InDesign has stopped working as soon as I open the application

I had a computer crash on Friday and I just reinstalled InDesign this weekend and it has worked fine. This afternoon I started to receive an error message that Adobe InDesign has stopped working and Windows will close the program and notify me if a solution is available. I've rebooted and closed every other program. I have also been downloading my lost files from Carbonite since yesterday and have paused the download. Do I need to uninstall the program and reinstall?

Use System Restore to go back before the crash.

I'm running Indesign CS5 & it appears my Adobe PDF presesets have stopped working. Can you help?

I'm running Indesign CS5 & it appears my Adobe PDF presesets have stopped working. Can you help?

It's under utilities in the window menu.
If the simple PDF works, that may indicate a problem with the file after all, but one way to to force the export to the foreground is to create a new Book (File > New > Book), then add the file that's giving you trouble to that book. (a Book is just a container format used to combine multiple .indd files into a single output)
From the Book panel flyout menu you can export to PDF and see what that does. Failure indicates a file problem, success a background task problem.
It's a little odd that you aren't getting an error message....
Anyway, if the problem is the file, try export in two halves. If both halves export, it's a system resources problem and not much you can do other than attempt to see what is using all the memory (probably some large complex vector object, or many vector objects) or just do the export in chunks that work and combine them in Acrobat Pro. If one half fails, try exporting half fo the failing half at a time. Keep dividing the failing half until you isolate a page with the problem.

How can I avoid this message and the crash that follows? -"the program has unexpectedly stopped working and will close"

I am working on some books that I have had no problem creating in Indesign and this week, I was doing something and got an error message and had the program crash while I was working on something and lose my unsaved work. It happens all of a sudden and has been frustrating. Thought it was an installation issue, but this also happens on the newest version of CS6.
The original files (“books”) were created in CS4.
What I’m doing is copying a template for the appendix that was established in the first book into all subsequent books.
Here is the process that I used on CS4 for the first 10 books –
1.       open a file that already has the completed new appendix.
2.       Open a file that needs the new appendix
3.       Select the appendix pages from the pages menu in the completed file and “move” them to the new file.
4.       Voila!
When I started using CS5 this worked for one book. Now the last book is giving me an error message during step 3. So, I select the pages I want to move and click “move” and then I get a message that says “the program has unexpectedly stopped working and will close”. This is the same message I got with CS6.

Same problem here. Firefox keeps freezing, sometimes for 5 minutes, then either starts working again really slowly or I get the plug-in error crash. This last time I copied what windows said about the error. This is the info:

Don't know what it means or if it will help solve the issue, but thought I would share it.
All I know is that I am about to do something I never thought I would, switch to Chrome.

You need to help us first ...
Computer specs:
OS, CPU, RAM, GPU, vRAM ... and also disc layout & connections can be useful (as in, "2 internal hard-drives and an external on Thunderbolt connection for exports")
Program specs:
Specific build of Premier Pro from the bottom of the "About" splash screen off the "Help" menu is best.
Footage file type: MXF, AVCHD, MOV, m2s, what?
Even the camera it was shot on can be of interest at times.
And did you use media browser to import, then project panel to drag & drop?

My USB port on my Macbook Pro stopped working and i tried the SMC reset and the one closest to the SD port still continues to not work. Is there anything i can do besides bringing it in?

My USB port on my Macbook Pro stopped working and i tried the SMC reset and the one closest to the SD port still continues to not work. Is there anything i can do besides bringing it in?

I would do another SMC reset. If nothing changes you should take the computer in to an Apple store for a free diagnostic. You should make an appointment.

Help please - have a Nano and a Shuffle and neither are working! The Nano wheel appears to have stopped working - I can't get it to do anything. I've done the reset,it worked the first time but not since. And the shuffle won't sync with my library!

Hi,
I have an iPod shuffle 4th generation and an iPod Nano 5th generation . The Nano wheel appears to have stopped working - I can't get it to play or anything. I've done the reset and it worked the first time, but now the only way I can get it to play anything is to shake it and go with the shuffle choices - I can't change volume, song, pause or turn it off.
So, I decided to start using the Shuffle which I was given as a present last year. I've plugged it into my laptop (running windows 8 and newest version of iTunes). It appears in iTunes on the left hand side, but when I click to sync (whether I tick sync all or choose artists) it says synched but has no music. It seems to not be linked to the music library - when I tick synch all songs, next to the "sync music" it says 0 songs?
Any help to fix either would be really appreciated - I'm without any music at the moment and I'm going away this weekend!
Thanks

Hi Bblairjones,
If you are having issues with your Nano and Shuffle, you may want to try the Troubleshooting Assistants on the following page:
