Indesign freezes when zooming

I tried to reset preferences, re-install application Indesign. I used files created by previous versions and new files.
I am using 27" Imac, bought very recently, my colleague sitting next to me has the same problem.
Any help will be appreciated.

InDesign Freezes when opening it

Hi,
InDesign freezes when I open it. First it told me my recovery file was corrupted so I followed this procedure (InDesign crashes upon launch while attempting to recover a damaged document). It still does it when opening it. I have to run task manager and end the process of adb.exe *32 for the program to work
I have windows 7
Please help
Thank you!

CS6 on a Mac
Whenever I try to open the document and scroll past a certain page it crashes. Sometimes it does it right away on startup, also whenever I open the Pages tab indesign crashes.
I tried moving all of the links to a different location to see if there was a broken/damaged link- it did nothing. I also tried to replace my fonts and it crashed when I was in the process of doing so. I also tried to trash my preferences- this did nothing. I cant open it up and save it as an IDML now.
I can work in other documents, just not this particular one. So, my bet is it is a damaged font.

InDesign freezes when I use Photoshop

Often, When InDesign and Photoshop are running at the same time, InDesign freezes and needs to be restarted.

Why does InDesign freeze when I open it and run slowly?

I've been having problems with InDesign ever since I got CS5, and it's at the point where I can't even do simple projects. Every time I open InDesign, it freezes. I can't click anything in the program and it won't even minimize or close. The only way to close it is from the Task Manager. Nothing else works. On the rare occasion that it does work (after waiting about five minutes for it to un-freeze), it takes a long time to open any file, even really small ones. When they do open, it freezes for about a minute any time I try to move something, change text, change colors, or pretty much change anything. This is the case even on one-page documents with minimal text and a few images. The only thing that isn't slow is exporting PDFs.
At first I thought that it was just slow when I also had Photoshop open, but that's not the case because it still performs slowly and freezes all the time when the only other program I have open is Outlook.
I really appreciate the help... I can't even do any work right now and I'm running out of time.
Windows 7 Professional
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU
RAM: 4GB
InDesign version 7.0.3
Let me know if you need to know any more specs... I apologize, I really have no idea what you need to know.
Thank you so much!!!

The DPI is at the default setting, so that's not it. I'm going to disable Aero and see if that works, but its hard to tell right away because sometimes it does work. I don't know if that could really be causing it though because it's not just clicking that's not working. It's bascially like the InDesign interface becomes my desktop background. It doesn't close or minimize and I can't interact with it at all.
I will see how it behaves today with Aero disabled. Thank you for the tip!

Why does Indesign freeze when I do small tasks

I try to add a stroke or change the fill to a specific object within a specific document in Indesign and it always freezes. I had the trial version and I have just bought the creative cloud suite. This was never an issue when I had the trial version and no extra downloading was needed when I paid for the yearly subscription. Indesign also became very slow and a few background changes in my Indesign documents suddenly changed when I bought the software. All I have installed on my computer from cc is Indesign, Photoshop and Illustrator. This is no different than when I had the trial version. Whats happening?

Does it just freeze for a moment or longer? If only moment, then it might be caused by Preflight being activated. Preflight checks the whole document with every change you do.
While editing it is recommended to switch off preflight.

InDesign freezes when resizing text frames

I've placed a Word document with lots of tables and other graphics, and when I try to resize a text frame, InDesign frequently freezes. I have to shut it down in Task Manager and restart, often losing a lot of work. This happened once before with a similar project from the same client. I thought maybe it was some odd corruption in that file, so I muscled through it, but here it is happening again. Anybody have this issue before and know how to resolve or prevent it?
I'm working with CS6 in Windows 8.
Thanks.

First of all, ID CS6 has a auto-recovery feature, so when closing it in the task manager you should not loose a lot of work, but the one since the last auto-save.
However, software is not prefect, so the one way to prevent it would be to place a PDF version of your Word file, making it uneditable.

InDesign Freezes when Missing Links Missing Fonts

When I open an InDesign document that has missing/updated links AND missing fonts InDesign in a sense "freezes" as with both these error pop up boxes it refuses to recognize when I click on the "fix" or "cancel" or "ignore" buttons. The only way out is to force quit and the next time I start up and open the document when these boxes pop up I click "ignore" very quickly and then fix once I am in the document. very strange I know. Has this happened to anyone else?!? If so, is there a fix? Better than force quitting?!?
I am working in CS3 and OS 10.4.11 (Mac of course :)

Just a thought -- if you use the Return key on the keyboard, does it dismiss the dialog boxes?

InDesign freezes when printing to a PDF and have Outlook open

I am not a patient person by nature. So, while I am waiting for my InDesign document to collect all its info before asking me where to save my printed PDF, I go compose an email in Outlook. When I do this, the dialog box for me to browse for the folder I would like to save the PDF to and the Outlook window disappear. What is going on?

This type of issue probably relates to the amount of system resources and virtual memory used by each of the programs - i.e. InDesign and Outlook - but not to bugs particular to either one. Outlook (including Outlook 2007) uses a tremendous amount of virtual memory (possibly up to a three gigabyte limit) and by extension, real memory when you have a large number of messages in your active InBox or whatever folder(s) are open. Similarly, when printing or exporting PDF, InDesign calls in a number of resources, especially the Adobe PDF Library and the Adobe Graphics Manager, that also have a tremendous hunger for virtual memory space, especially if you are working on a very complex document. When I've seen this type of problem or better when I proactively want to avoid this problem when I know I am exporting very large, complex documents, I close down Outlook and often save my InDesign document, close InDesign, and restart InDesign. Sometimes, rebooting my system minimizes this problem. And it is possible that you have specified too small a paging file or have run out of disk space for paging files if you let the system handle this matter automatically.
My perception is that with my migration of my main system to Vista 64-bit with a larger amount of main memory and larger available address spaces, I haven't recently seen this problem reoccur.
By the way, I've seen similar issues if you have InDesign and Photoshop open and then try to open Illustrator - it simply craps out without any rational message. Open Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop in that order and Photoshop won't hog the systems' virtual memory.

InDesign Freeze when "Packaging" files.

New Mac with Snow Leopard, 10.6.6 Just updated to CS5. "Packaging" will not complete on some documents (at least two files so far) if I ask it to gather the fonts as well. The same files works fine in CS4. Fonts are not protected.
I use FontAgent Pro 4.0.3 to handle fonts. I've flushed all font caches with Cocktail 4.8. Still no cigar.
Anybody else seen this behavior?
Thanks.

I am getting the exact same problem. Upgraded to 7.0.3 as well. Packaging my current document always freezes InDesign, and upon restarting it opens two versions of the same document as though there are two separate aliases. Packaging progress gets just to the very end of the progress bar, a folder does get created with the links and fonts subfolders, and an INDD file is created (but cannot be opened). InDesign doesn't budge once the progress bar freezes, and a force quit is required. I've been able to package several others prior to this in the past week. I'll try a few things with the document itself.
New Macbook Pro purchased in late October, Snow Leopard, 10.6.6, CS5.

Indesign freezes when opening "pages"

I can't work in my indesign document because it keeps shutting down and "sends a report to adobe". When i open "pages" it automatically crashes. I was able to work on one page, but when I tried to scroll through my document it crashes. HELP!!

InDesign freezes when a library item is dragged into a new document

I'm using InDesign CS5.5 and I save individal articles as library items and then drag them into a larger document. This works fine, unless the library item includes images and then the program is very slow (almost frozen) until I exit and go back in again. Does anyone know how to fix this or work around it?

Hello,
You need to use "Update List Item" action to update any item in list/library. Refer this link for sample:

Help!iOS 7.3 its driving me crazy,it freeze when I use de zoom in texts what can o do?

Help!Help!iOS 7.3 its driving me crazy,it freeze when I use de zoom in texts what can o do?

I understand why you would think that, but logically it doesn't make sense. I can read and write to the ipod with windows explorer with no problems, so the flash drive seems to be ok. I can also load, read and play songs through Itunes 6 on the computer with no problems. The problems start in Itunes 7 and when the ipod is used as an ipod alone....not a drive. The diagnostic windows tell me the drive is fine and the battery is ok (just a little low on voltage) but hubby says not enough to worry about. If anything was wrong with the hardware I wouldn't be able to use it as a drive would I? Its almost as though the thing is "stuck" on the boot up window of "use Itunes to restore". I even tried to load rockbox. The software all loaded but I still got the itunes restore window on startup and thats as far as I can go. Another thing I noticed recently is I can't seem to turn the ipod off! I can reset it but it just "reboots". After the restore notice about 10 seconds later the whole screen will blank out. Also when I plug the ipod directly to the wall to charge, I also get the apple...then the itunes restore notice...but never a battery charge icon (like my classic 20gb)...is this normal? This nano was given to me - (Also, this is a first generation, but I posted in the second generation thread) Would a repartition work?

Indesign CS4 Premium freezing when you open new document

I have a serious issue with my CS4 Premium. Indesign freezes/crashes when ever i start the program and open a new document. I have deleted the prefrences folder, uninstalled and installed more than once, and tried all the troubleshooting steps on the Adobe website. I have also deleted the SING folder in fonts, deleted caches, and tried a trial version of indesign on my Mac but it has the same problem. This does not happen with other CS4 apps and I dont know what else to do but . I downloaded the update but it is not fixing it.
2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Mac OS X Version 10.5.6

I just got off the phone with Adobe support. The problem seems to be with a file in the SING folder (Library > Application Support > Adobe > SING). When this folder was moved to the Desktop and InDesign restarted, the program operated properly.
Then some additional investigation was done. After InDesign was shut down, the SING folder was moved back into the Adobe folder and opened. Inside the SING folder were a pair of nested folders: Mark II > Datastore. The file SINGmeta.dat inside the Datastore folder was trashed and the program restarted. Again it and worked properly. (Although, for some reason, a Sample Button library window was opened?! I've never used it.)
One piece of background: the only difference between my earlier use of InDesign and my current use was that earlier I was working on a Mac G5. I transferred the files to a new Quad-Core Intel Xeon machine and couldn't open it there.
Having spent several hours troubleshooting this, I hope this helps someone.

Indesign CS4 freezes when I export to InCopy CS4 or when I update an InCopy File

Indesign CS4 freezes when I export to InCopy or when I update an InCopy CS4 File. I have done some of the troubleshooting steps already and have already re-installed and re-updated through Adobe Updater. But the problem still exists. Anyone have any patches or fixes? Or have had the same issue and fixed it?
I'm working on a Power Mac G5 with OSX version 10.4.11

I am having the same issue with Flash CS4. Did you find a solution?

InDesign keeps freezing when updating a paragraph style, a color swatch or moving pages

I am experiencing a very serious blocking bug. Somehow, when I update certain text styles and click Preview or Update Style Definition, the program goes to 100% CPU (single thread) and never recovers. The same happens when moving certain spreads in the document or updating a color swatch. I suspect a bad font, but I can't change the fonts, because the program freezes when I redefine styles. When I change the color or font manually in the workspace of the document, everything works. Any ideas, Adobe?
I have tried deleting the SavedData and Preferences, it doesn't have an effect.
I am using InDesign CC 2014 on Windows 7. I have never experienced such behavior from InDesign before. (I've got a lot of experience with the program since Version CS1)

I've done what you said. All fonts used are deleted. The problem is persisting. The fonts are from good sources, so I wouldn't expect that. This is specific to InDesign CC2014.
