Indesign CS6 crashes and wont startup again after reboot - iMac

Hello
I have a strange issue that has started in the last couple of weeks. If i restart or reboot my iMac my indesign will not open again. It tries to start to open ('loading image' appears and icon bounces in the dock) but always fails and gives an error afterwards each time (i will attach).
What i have done so far is the usual deleting of preferences, replacing default file and rebooting the machine again but nothing works.
The only thing that i can do to get it working again is to reinstall indesign from the disk (design & web premium). All other Creative Suite applications don't need reinstalling and work fine.
Has anyone else had this issue and if so how did they fix it as its bit of a pain having to reinstall indesign after each reboot.

Im having issues adding the error log, here is the first bit of it though.....

My InDesign crashes and wont reopen even after deleting preferences

My InDesign crashes and then wont reopen. I have already tried deleting preferances, relaunching, but the only thing that's solved it so far is rebooting which is beyond frustrating.
Any ideas?

InDesign CS6 crashing and losing preferences

I've had some terrible crashing in InDesign CS6 (and Acrobat). At least 2-3 times per day. When InDesign crashes, I lose my preferences and some of my workspace settings. Any fix for this?
Any fix for the crashing? It's inconsistent on when it crashes (saving, exporting, etc) and I've re-loaded the entire suite again. I'm running OSX Lion...

Hi,
Although I have no answer as to why your ID keeps crashing, you can do this to restore your settings.
Frist try resetting your preference as you did by restarting ID, then set your preferences again, then quit ID.
Then go to the below directories and make a copy of the file "InDesign SavedData" and store it somewhere else.
Users/[user]/Library/Caches/Adobe InDesign/Version [version]/InDesign SavedData
If you happen to crash again and lose your settings, quit ID then replace the file in the above directory with your backup.
Hope that helps.

I did this yesterday and following my crash this morning, I reloaded the data file - didn't work, had to reset all my prefs again.

Iphone 3GS keeps crashing and wont hang up after out & incoming calls after repairs

I have had my iphone 3GS back to vodafone after I could not make calls, kept saying call failed!. I did all the troubleshooting tips, was okay for a short time, then shortly started doing same thing.I took it back to the store and on that occasion the assistant took the phone out of the protective cover i always had it in to replace the simcard in case it was this that was causing the problem ,then he dropped it onto the shops wooden floor and it bounced, he picked it up & went bright red & kept apologising , I then said if I have any more problems with it then I will come back & see him & he said yes. Shortly after I noticed the sim cover on top of phone was missing but i could see the simcard inside, so I returned to the store & informed them of this, i was advised by the earlier assistant 'Craig' that he thought that the sim tray was underneath the simcard which he then removed the simcard, then advised me he didn't want to go poking about in it in case it was inside and he would send the phone to be repaired & gave me a replacement phone until mine was back. I waited approx 2 weeks before receiving a call from Vodafone saying they would repair it if I payed over £100! as it was not covered under my insurance, I informed them the assistant dropped the phone in store and then i noticed the problem & was then told they would investigate this and call back, 10 minutes later they called back to say it would be a free repair. Since the repair I have had nothing but trouble with the phone crashing when I access apps , sticking on the hangup screen with in & out going calls for approx 10 minutes or more, when I turn phone on the Apple logo stays on the screen for long periods off time. When I access my music the track will change part way through to another track & also sometimes refusing to charge. I am fed up with going back & forth to the store which is quite a distance from my home & the phone has more problems since it was ''dropped'' & then ''repaired'' & I am at a loss of what to do. I feel I have been treated unfairly and gone along with all Vodafone asked of me. Please could someone from Apple help me!!!

The steps you already took were the correct ones - reset, restore from backup, restore as new phone. You could always try them again, but a Restore with set up as new is the 'ulitmate' troubleshooter - if that doesn't correct the issue, it's usually time for a replacement phone. Unfortunately, you've learned a hard lesson there, although I don't see how Apple screwed you - it's no secret that the iPhone warranty is valid only in the country of original purchase (as a little research on your part would have shown).
See how much money you saved with your eBay purchase? Next time buy the phone from Apple or an authorized UK carrier.

AFP Service Crashed and Wont Start Again

I've got a 10.3.9 Server just running afp. It the AFP service just quit working yesterday while people were using it.
Now I can't get the service to start up Clicking the "Start Service" button in Server Admin does nothing.
serveradmin gives me this:
Classof2009:~ root# serveradmin start afp
afp:command = "setState"
afp:state = "STOPPED"
afp:status = -1
The only thing in the logs might be:
The server wasn't able to start (Unable to register IPC port)
But thats only happened a few times and not every time I try to start the server.
Crash Reporter shows nothing relevent either.
Ive tried rebooting, disabling and re enabling the network interface, and clicking the "Start Service" button over and over!
Help! I don't know where else to look!

Is there anything in system.log after trying to start AFP? You can view system.log with the Console.app.

Indesign CS6 crashed, can't be started again (missing required fonts, cmap files). Reinstalled -- doesnt work. help?

hi,
my indesign CS6 worked perfectly until yesterday afternoon, when it suddenly crashed and wont open again. all it says is "There are required system fonts or cmap files missing. reinstall indesign". Did that, with the cc cleaner, but that doesnt work!
working on windows 7, sp1 -- never had any problems.
all i can find in other forums is about the cs2, which is fairly outdated. why does this happen?! all my other programs from the master collection work fine!

ok, after a quite frustrating weekend the problem seems to have solved itself. what i did (for future requests):
- downloaded cs6 master collection (since i had my cds not with me)
- deinstalled old install
- wiped the system with the adobe cc cleaner tool to get everything off
- restart
- install cs6
- same error. no chance of doing anything.
i then installed a trial version on another computer to at least render my pdf. i then tried something new: i put the cmap & fonts (in C:/Programs/Common Files/Adobe/PDFL) from the working pc on a usb drive. when i "backed up" my PDFL Folder on my main pc into a zip (just in case), i gave indesign another try. it then started up -- since it was the first time a bit slower than usual, but it's back on track.

Indesign file crashes instantly on startup

Hello,
A few days back i've been working on a brochure which suddenly crashed. InDesign CS6 crashed saying it has encountered a unknown error and therefore InDesign will be closed.
The problem is, InDesign only crashes on opening that specific file, every other file works just fine. I can try to open it, but it'll crash right after opening, i have no time to export or save.
Is this a known bug/crash and what to do?

Try the script in this thread: Adobe Community: InDesign 6 is crashing when attempting to open a particular document. All others are opening OK.
If the crash is happening during auto-recovery at restart, empty the InDesign Recovery folder and start up normally, then try to openthe last saved version fromthe File menu.

Indesign CS6 quits during document recovery, even after restart. How do I get out of this cycle?

Indesign CS6 quits during document recovery, even after restart. How do I get out of this cycle?
I was saving a document when it originally quit. so "locked" file appeared in directory as well as reg file.
Upon restart of InDesign, recovery failed and software quit again.
Restarted computer, then indesign, file opens but as soon as I select "recover" it sends a message that indesign needs to close.
I cannot seem to get out of this cycle. Help.

Use your operating system’s Search utility to find a folder called (InDesign Recovery) and delete it.

InDesign CS6 crashes all the time while importing an image

InDesign CS6 crashes all the time while importing an image. Does anybody knows what's going on? How can I solve this problem. Please help me cause I can't work. Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot for your quick response. I convert images to CMYK because it is best for me to see the final colors in screen when working in Photoshop. As you know, some colors (like green) have a lot of problems in rendering quite accurate when you work in RGB and then convert to CMYK (greens tend to look very vivid in RGB and then very pale and lack of contrast when converted to CMYK). In doing so, it's not reliable for me to work in RGB and then convert to CMYK in RIP or in PDF export. When working in Photoshop, you have a more precise control of color when images are in CMYK, although we all know that the respresentation of CMYK on screen is just that, a merely representation of what it sholud look a CMYK image on screen (because screen works with RGB as you know).
Also, my question and concern is that ID should let you paste images in CMYK and tiff format also (not only PSD) , so what's the point in having those features if they are not going to work at all?
This problem never happened to me in earlier versions of ID.
Thanks a lot again!
That is not true at all. You can turn on in Photoshop the CMYK proof preview which would look exactly the same as if you have converted the image to CMYK. A CMYK proof print from a RGB file with a profile has exactly the same output as if the file has been converted to CMYK under the same settings. Even if you have CMYK images, you see only a back converted RGB image on screen! This is a simulation and it is exactly the same simulation as if you would turn on the CMYK preview of a RGB image! You can see even the plates of a CMYK image.
A CMYK file has a size from 133% of the same file in RGB! So you have shuffle around in CMYK with more data than you would do with RGB images. InDesign is supposed to handle RGB images for print since version 2.0 and since CS (Version 3) it is working without problems. And it can do it better due to smaller file sizes than with CMYK! Try it and you will be astonished how much time and work you have wasted useless in converting images to CMYK.
Have a look to this discussion: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/753454
Other actions you might take is to resave the tiff image without any compression or with a different compression to force Photoshop to write the file completely new.

Indesign CS6 crash when open Folio Builder

Dear Adobe team,
I have updated my DPS Desktop Tools in Indesign CS6 (windows8), with version 27. Then, when open folio bulider, my Indesign always crash, and automatically close the program. How to resolve this problem?
Thx
Indodesigner

This happend to me many times with CS5.5 and CS6 since one year at least (I am on PC win 8 and two screens) last time was after installing v27 too.
ID starts normaly and loads my favorite workspace opening the folio builder wich tries to connect to adobes folio server.
at this very time the spining wheel stops and ID crashes.
This is a complete mystery for me !
After many tests I figured out that :
1 - I could quickly switch my work space at the start, choosing one that doesnt display the folio builder
2 - ID crashes ONLY when the folio builder displays on the second screen ... never on the "master" screen
When I wrote complete mystery ... this makes no sense to me but well, this is how I still can work with ID
For info, never had this problem with ID CC

PPro CC14 won't stop crashing and freezing only minutes after editing commences...

I seem to have tried everything to fix the issue but PPro CC14 won't stop crashing and freezing only minutes after editing commences. I am working on a Mac and have just updated to Mavericks as a final attempt to help solve the problem. I have tried calling Adobe but their phone support in Australia is shocking. I have resorted to posting here but haven't had any help yet. I really need to sort this issue out ASAP.

Its it possibly related to your graphics drivers? Seems similar to something I was experiencing that was resolved by updating my nvida cuda drivers (see thread link). I also started running activity monitor to keep track of the memory and processor use. That said after solving the problem by updating my drivers and switching to the CUDA acceleration, on occasion I get into ruts where it opens and freezes all the time. It does seem helpful to try and reduce project size if possible - I normal keep a track record of sequence revisions and such, but when possible it seems that clearing out as much as possible by deleting or project managing into a new project can help things run better.

My Windows 7 with InDesign CS6 crashed. I try to re-install, but it won't take my license key. What now?

My Windows 7 with InDesign CS6 crashed. I try to re-install, but it won't take my license key. What now?

Ned, thanks for pointing me towards chat sessions.
I am almost there now, thanks the chat advise.
This is was Adobe tells me: You have a volume license serial number. You need to login to www.licensing.adobe.com website and download the software and you can activate the software without any issue.
I did go there but came no further. Then Adobe said: I checked and see that your email address is not registered under the Licensing website. Please contact the administrator under whose email address the product was purchased to add you as a user and you will be able to login and download the product.
So it is now in the hands of our IT guy who purchased this serial license

Indesign CS6 crashes opening some documents

Hi,
updated to Yosemite today and realise that Indesign CS6 crashes opening some documents.
Anyone has same issue with me? Two people from my team updated to Yosemite and have same issue.
Thinking of downgrade to Maverick but with no luck...
Please help.
Thank you.

I find InDesign CS6 is running incredibly slowly and erratically (constantly producing the spinning rainbow fruit gum of death) ever since I 'upgraded' to Yosemite. Has anyone at Apple remembered that the original users (loyal as we once were) all used Macs and now all use InDesign?? This upgrade has caused all kinds of problems with Font Explorer (forcing me to upgrade that), Illustrator wouldn't load without some Java plug in ... Can't wait to retire and have done with all this nonsense.

Try to reset the device:
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

InDesign CS6 Extension and JSON

Hi everybody
I'm just building up an InDesign CS6 Extension and would like to use JSON. JSON should be native with Flash-Players > version 11 but if I set the Flex Compiler -> Flash Player Options to version 11.0.0 the JSON-commands still won't be recognized (I get an error while using JSON.stringify() ). I'm using the Extension Builder 4.5 SDK. Are there any options I din't set yet or is it not possible to connect to JSON natively with Extension Builder 4.5 SDK?
Thanks for any information
best Richard

I would suggest to use the JSON library which is part of as3corelib:
