InDesign Shuts Down When Saving

InDesign CS3 5.0.2
InDesign shuts down when saving a file. The ONLY time it seems to act up is when we try to save using any option except for "save a copy." There are no numbers, messages, etc. outside of the standard: "InDesign has encountered a problem and must shut down. We apologize for any inconvenience..."
When it does shut down, whatever file was open at the time is lost. Totally. I have yet to be able to locate the previous file using any means.
Has anyone else had this problem. Any fix?

Normally I would recommend replacing your preferences as a first step. I'm not sure quite how to test, though, without putting something at risk.
Maybe replace the prefs, open a new file that won't matter, save a copy, then try a save as and see what happens. You might also try turning off video hardware acceleration, but that seems tenuous, as does a bad font.
Is there a network involved, or are you working locally? If yes, what kind of network? Have you tried working locally?
If none of this has any effect you may need to reinstall, but I hate to put anyone through that pain without a better idea of what the problem is.

Illustrator and Indesign Shutting down when trying to print?

Wondering why my illustrator and indesign is shutting down when I try to print from those programs. I don't even get to a printing menu. Just got a new mac....Mac OSX 10.7.3 and using the same Creative Suite 4 I used on old machine and never had this problem....is it the newer operating system? What can I do?

Remove the following files and back them up:
[Hard Drive]/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/en.lproj
[Hard Drive]/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Zh_CN.lproj
[Hard Drive]/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Ja.lproj

InDesign shuts down when dealing with Arabic

The program shuts down after approximatelly 30 seconds as soon as I start playing with the font - changing to Simplified Arabic etc.
The same problem occurs on two seperate computers, where CS was installed - work computer where I'm using a purchased version and home computer where I have a trial version installed.
I didn't seem to have this problem until I downloaded a script for RTL.
Now I have donwloaded the Arabic version of CS6 with an in-build RTL option and the problem is still present.
English materials work fine.

Um. This post is full of guesses.
I am going to guess that under Edit -> Preferences -> Clipboard Handling you have "All Information" instead of "Text Only." Is my guess correct? Because copy/pasting RTL stuff from Excel has been problematic for me in the past when Excel's native styling made it into InDesign.
I would furthermore guess that:
1) it worked before because the RTL text flow was turned on in Word, and that info carried across on the clipboard, but
2) now when you try to turn on RTL text flow in InDesign it's freaking out on "Left to Right" versus "Default direction" properties
So my final guess would be that a change in workflow will end the crashes. It's a long shot, but I would suggest that you either
1) Only File -> Place documents, never copy/paste
or
2) Change the Clipboard Handling settings to Text Only, and continute using your copy/paste workflow. But the text will always flow in the wrong direction until you apply one of the RTL paragraph direction scripts.
I'd strongly sugggest that you abandon the habit of copy/pasting complex-script text. It's a disaster, really. Most of my complex-script workflows tend towards trying to strip as much Word garbage off of text as I possibly can, all the way down to raw Unicode text when I can do so, and then placing those stripped-down files into Word.
When I can't do that (when I need to preserve some parts of Word formatting), one trick that I've used in the past is to have character styles called "Overt LTR" and "Overt RTL" in Word when I needed English words in the middle of Arabic paragraphs, and vice versa. This is necessary because InDesign has a setting that I don't think Word has: "Default Direction." So in a mixed paragraph, it will try to apply LTR to Latin script and RTL to Arabic script. This causes problems of all kinds, especially when you have mixed numerals (e.g. phone numbers in Arabic numerals, but all other numbers in Hindi numerals).
But since Word and InDesign handle complex and RTL scripts quite differently, there will always be some pre-InDesign hygiene necessary, and some significant cleanup within InDesign once the text is in.

My iPad 2 is shutting down when I try to email a PDF created in pages. Why? Very frustrating...., My iPad 2 is shutting down when I try to email a PDF created in pages. Why? Very frustrating....

My iPad 2 is shutting down when I try to email a PDF I have created in pages. Why? Very frustrating....

That is very interesting in that my iPhone was exhibiting similar behavior with the "blue screen of death" with Pages a few months ago. An update for Pages came out and when I installed the update, the problem disappeared.
Is Pages completely updated on your iPad? Do you use iCloud with Pages? If you use iCloud, try turning it off. settings>Pages>Use iCloud>Off. You will not lose your documents since they will still be in iCloud even if you turn that off on your iPad.

Computer shuts down when trying to create or open a pdf file

My computer shuts down when trying to create or open a pdf file.

In that case, you need to update the Acrobat Version at your end. Click on Help -> Check for Updates. Download and install the updates. Make sure your version is 9.5.1

Reader X shuts down when trying to open more than one pdf, or when clicking certain categories in settings

Until a few weeks ago I have never had a problem opening more than one pdf at a time. Now Reader just shuts down when I try to do so. The same thing happens when I click on the yellow highlighted categories in settings. All the other categories open fine.
Appreciate the help of anyone who can help me solve this.

I guess you didn't know, but yes you can close more than one app at a time. You can close up to 3 apps at a time in the new IOS7 on the iPhone. Try opening at least 3 apps and then double click the main button to see what apps are opened. Then swipe to the left to see the three of them on your screen. Your not gonna see the ones on the side entirely but you can still put all three fingers on them, then simply swipe them up and it closes them up.
The thing is, when you have let say 10 apps open, and you start using this trick, some of them will stay open meaning you swiped them up to close them down but the bottom icon stays there. When you come back to your main IOS desktop and then go back to close the programs that you have opened, you can see that those apps are still opened. There is only like 2 or three out of all the 10 you had opened that stayed open, but none the less it's a bug in the system I presume.
You also asked about the icon at the bottom. When you are seeing what apps are opened, there is always a small icon at the bottom and on top you have a representation of what you were working on, and that is the part you swipe up. But often time the bottom icon will stay opened after swiping 2 or 3 of the apps to close them.

InDesign CS5 is shutting down when I export to an EPS document.

InDesign CS5 is shutting down when I export to an EPS document. This just started happening 2 days ago. Only recent change was upgrade to Suitcase Fusion 5.

Thanks for all the suggestions. So far nothing has helped.
About a month ago I installed Mac Keeper to clean up files and it was a BIG mistake! I think it deleted the 32-bit files from the operating system.
Could that be causing this issue? But if so, why is it just now happening?

IE shuts down when I open PDFs

Why does IE shut down when I try to open a PDF file on line

Some more info.................I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and Quicktime. No fix. I can access the store on my other desktop computer which I also updtated to the newest version, so I think it's some setting in my laptop. As I said, it works great until I click on "iTunes Store" then it shuts the whole program down.

IMac Shutting Down when DVD player is in use

So, I know a lot of folks have been mentioning the new iMacs heating up and shutting down. I'm managing my heat issues okay to this point, and I use Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign every day.
But - the thing keeps shutting down when I try to play a DVD!
Anyone? This one has me stumped.

You are connecting the mini display port on the 2010 iMac to WHAT to try and get TDM to work?

Why does my Safari shut down when loading a page?

Why does my Safari shut down when I'm trying to load a page?

Is this for a Mac? You posted in the Beta for Windows section, you might want to try the Beta for Mac pages instead and see if anyone there know a good fix. Is this just with Adobe's PDF reader, or with Preview too? A workaround could simply be switching to a different reader, if you simply cannot find what causes the crashes. A clean reinstall might do the trick, if you haven't done so already.
If this is on Windows than I would recommend downloading the PDF plugin from http://www.apple.com/safari/download/plugins.html

Itunes shuts down when clicking anything

My iTunes shuts down when I click anything on the screen other than the music. If I click anything on the sidebar (Store, Playlists, Library, etc.) or the album artwork it shuts down. I have tried pulling all the iTunes preferences out of the library and restarting the computer. This does not fix the problem. This has been going on for a few months, but I have been downloading the newest versions of iTunes and it continues to happen.

Hey chaimoy,
It seems like you may be experiencing an unexpected quit from iTunes when importing a file into the iTunes library. I have an article for you that addresses this circumstance, and it can be found below:

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!
