InDesign under Leopard freezes/crashes due to save-/open-operation

Since I updated my Mac/OS to Leopard, *InDesign (CS2) often freezes* when I have it perform any kind of open- or save-operation, i.e. whenever the app has to use the OS' save-open-dialogue.
This includes exporting-to-pdf-operations.
I have no clue whether this might reflect any special circumstances like using other apps simultaneously or having performed any stuff before. It just happens out of the blue, and very often.
Restarting the Mac does not solve the problem.
And then, after restarting InDesign several times, it works fine for the rest of the day.
And bang, the next day it's freezing again.

Hi Steve,
thanks for the hint and the link.
After reading what they say about Leopard Compatibility I presume folks at Adobe are heaving some kind of festivities going on because lots of people will have to upgrade their apps to CS3 level and offer them quite some cash for that matter.
VERY REGRETTABLE. I can't quite believe such basic operations like saving a document are undermined by a new OS. Dear Apple Inc., that's just not fine. And I do believe Adobe upgrades are unnecessarily expensive. Some fix for CS2 level apps wouldn't be asked to much from Adobe, IMHO.
Well, thanks anyway.

  • Some images created in Tiger unusable under Leopard - can crash Aperture

    I have tried both updates and clean installs of Leopard on my MBP and external firewire disks. In both cases I find that a large number of images in my libraries (built under Tiger), give Aperture fits. For example, whilst I can see thumbnails, I can't export versions - messages come up to say the images can't be decoded. Similarly, if I try to edit or view some images full screen, I get a message saying "unsupported format". At times, trying to work with these images crashes Aperture.
    In a couple of cases, I still have the offending images on cards and I was then able to import them anew into Aperture (running under Leopard) - these work OK.
    Boinx Fotomagico under Leopard stopped running and quit without warning trying to run previously created slideshows that incorporate some of the above-mentioned images.
    I conclude that there is a problem with Leopard's treatment of images rather than Aperture specifically. However, I have no clue how to address the problem. At present Leopard is just unusable for me.

    Hello
    a - my way of life is the Winston Churchil's one : "absolutely no sport"
    b - as during more than 30 years I ruled a pottery workshop using a process which is unique worldwide, I know what confidentiality means.
    c - Whe I exchange with Apple, they don't ask me to sign a Non Disclosure Agreement.
    They perfectly know that when I beta tested I NEVER violate the signed ones.
    I'm aware of anomalies when using Numbers under Leopard.
    Maybe you met one which I ignored.
    Knowing such of these problems, I decided to use Tiger as my main operating system.
    Here, as I play safety, Leopard is always in test, not in real use.

  • InDesign CS3 & Leopard - Continual crashing all the time!

    3 months ago (Jan 2008) when Adobe released update 5.0.2 to InDesign CS3, the release notes read:-
    "This update does not address recently identified issues running Adobe InDesign CS3 on Mac OS
    X Leopard (v10.5.1). Known issues include the following:
    • Users are unable to hide InDesign CS3 using the cmd+h keyboard shortcut.
    • InDesign CS3 may unexpectedly quit when using the Place, Save, Save As or Export
    commands using either the OS or Adobe dialog boxes.
    Unfortunately, there are no workarounds for these known issues. Adobe and Apple are working
    closely to provide fixes. Initial testing indicates that these fixes should be provided through an
    update to Mac OS X Leopard. Consequently, it is not part of the InDesign CS3 5.0.2 update.
    No public schedule for these fixes is available at this time, but both companies understand their
    urgency and are working to address this."
    It's just as bad (if not worse) in 10.5.2. 3 months and no solution. No word from Apple, even though my work G5 is submitting several crash reports per day to both Adobe and Apple.
    If anyone from Apple reads these lists, could they confirm they are going to fix this, or do I revert to Tiger, trash Leopard completely.

    Hey, I've also been having the same issues with InDesign CS3 since installing Leopard on my iMac G5 PPC... have reinstalled said OS and software 4 times now... but still getting crashes and the dreaded 'serious error...InDesign is shutting down...' warnings when relinking, replacing and exporting (sometimes when saving too) in ID.
    It seems there are so many of us having these problems, so at least it isn't user/machine-specific (unless I need more RAM..). However, one of the support guys at Apple (UK) gave me another helpful (temporary) fix, which works until they fix it PROPERLY. I tried working from the Desktop and cutting/pasting everything into a new file, but this one works better:
    Quit ID, go to your User (the house symbol)>Library>Caches>Adobe InDesign>Version 5>'InDesign Saved Data' and add '.old' onto this file or just drag it to the Desktop.
    Then go to Library>Preferences>Adobe InDesign>Version 5>'InDesign Defaults' and add '.old' onto that file as well or drag it to the Desktop.
    Then restart ID and you'll notice your preferences are back to default (i.e. picas instead of mm/inches etc.) and no more crashes - until you start changing the prefs again....
    The other tip was that the account you work from has become corrupted, but I found the above fix works for a while. Hope that's helped, but like the rest of you, this problem is wasting valuable working time and needs sorting ASAP.

  • Leopard Freezing/Crashing

    Hi,
    I recently bought an iMac and installed Leopard. The computer continually freezes, randomly I think, ill try to see if there is a pattern soon. I run standard prgrams: safari, itunes, adium, and thats pretty much it, nothing heavy.
    To be a bit more specific, the mouse tracker still works, but the whole screen is unresponsive.
    Now, I have recently installed the upgrade for the graphics card, I will find out if that helps in due course.. so although this could be fixed, I still have one other problem and I dont know if the two are related:
    When i put my computer to sleep, or it voluntarily goes to sleep, sometimes it doesn't wake up. I press keys on the keyboard, move and click the mouse, and press the power button on the back of the screen. To add to the problem, i can't even hold the power button it to force a shut down, I need to take the power cable out from the Mac and put it back in.
    Anyone got any ideas? I have apple care, do they deal with this? Haven't had time to see what I am entitled to... I'll go read now actually
    If anyone has any solutions or has had this problem, please post so I know whether I have go unlucky or not !
    Thanks!

    yes i'm having the same issues with my macbook pro.... i haven't tried with my imac yet as i have yet to put lepoard on it..
    I nearly had the data wiped off my external hard drive because the computer froze
    i couldn't do anything with finder firefox was still working fine though???? why i don't know so i restarted the macbook and it wouldn't see my usb drive so i powered the drive off and back on again and a message came up saying somthing like disk inserted not formatted properly (with 3yrs of music work on it)so i tried again..
    no joy so i unboxed my imac and pluged the drive in and it worked straight away...
    mind you this is still running 10.4.10 or 11....
    that was last night just had exactly the same thing happen ...
    but this time i had already backed up my music on a second external drive and on dvd....
    why are we having these issues is this just with people using an leopard update disc or is it everybody..
    if this happens again I'm going back to tiger

  • Indesign cs3 for pc crashes when i save, or save as.. Urgent help

    Hi my friends
    Im new here
    I m amateur and use In desiugn for a book I create each year for a friend. But this year I  started to work on it and when I saved, the program frizz and  I have to close it. i have a PC and windows XP
    Same thing happened to photoshop, which I use  very often and on the net I found the solution, desactivating  version cue
    But in in design I read all I could but I cannot fix it. I read some solutions here for MAC. I upgraded  the last in design that gave me a 3.1.0 version but it crashed again. I  dont know what to do and Im very delayed with the deadline
    Sorry for my english I speak spanish but will aprecitatte any help.. is that CS3 is not worthy anymore'??
    This is what I found on the net
    PLEASE HELP ME WHAT TO DO ,  IS THIS REAL? THE SIMPLER ONE?? I  deleted 3.1.0 and changed the name to 3.0.0. to 3.1.0 and  do not work...

    I did not install any new font
    And I only upgraded windows service pack 2  I did not  updated the 3 yet...

  • Illustrator CS3 Windows - Freezes/Crashes/locks when using open dialog.

    I have looked all over the internet for a solution like this and tried all sorts of possible combinations and none worked.
    So I set about tracking it down one afternoon. It only took me 4 hours to find the issue.
    I think it's when the Version Cue preferences gets corrupted.
    SOLUTION:
    Close Illustrator. If it's crashed used task manager to stop the application.
    Navigate to: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Adobe\ and remove the workflow directory completely.
    Restart Illustrator and the workflow directory will be recreated and now you can open your files with a dialogue as you would normally expect to.
    Good Luck

    The video card is opening the Save dialog offscreen, outside the visible desktop area.
    Select Alt+ Spacebar, choose move and then use the arrow keys to move the dialog box back on screen and resize it so it fits and opens in the correct position.

  • How can I stop the Creative Cloud directory 'crashing' when I save/open files to/from any CC app

    I'm running a Mac 10.9, bags of space and memory, no other problems with it.
    I use Creative Cloud and sync to CC using the prescribed CC method. However if I try to open or save a file to the CC directory from within any CC app, the directory opens for a split seconds and then instantly closes preventing me from completing the action. The only way to get files in and out is by dragging and dropping them from the Finder.
    Can anyone tell me how to sort this problem out.
    Thanks

    Hi D2xS-Shooter,
    I am afraid Creative Cloud desktop app is not compatible with Windows Vista. If you run into problems there are very limited resources from Adobe to assist.
    Creative Cloud is a collection of apps with various different tech specs

  • Freezing/crash of iMac under Snow Leopard when backup with Time Machine

    Hi!
    The backup on my external hard drive with Time Machine cannot be completed.
    After few ten Go out of 360Go the backup stops suddenly and the computer freezes/crashes.
    I have got an iMac Intel Core 2 Duo with Snow Leopard 10.6.8 − 64 bit. The external hard drive is a LaCie 500Go.
    Also, backups for another Apple computer can be done with this LaCie external drive. So, it is not the cause of the freezing/crash of the iMac.
    I tried to solve this problem applying the following steps:
    1- I started with the installation disk.
    2- I repaired the internal iMac drive and the permissions with the Disk Utilities soft on the installation disk. All was OK.
    3- The LaCie drive was erased, formatted again with one GUID partition (500Go) and the disk verified. All was OK.
    4- I re-install the OS with the installation disk -> 10.6 Snow Leopard
    5- Updates to 10.6.8, etc… security update 2012-004 and the 13th Java update to v1.6.
    6- I deleted in the folder /Library/Preferences the file com.apple.TimeMachine.plist
    7- I deleted the file com.apple.finder.plist in the administrator account Preferences folder.
    8- The iMac was shutdowned as well as the external LaCie drive.
    9- I restarted and changed the name of the external LaCie drive.
    10- I choose the LaCie backup drive with Preferences System > Time Machine with right exclusions.
    Unfortunately, the problem remained and the backup was again unsuccessful followed by another freezing/crash of the iMac.
    So how to solve this problem?
    Here is what I obtained from the system.log with the Console utility (crash/freezing at: 10:48):

  • Unable to save HP printer presets under Leopard

    I frequently print a colored first page from the manual paper tray and the rest of the document from another tray. Presets previously saved, work flawlessly under Tiger. I am not able to save presets under Leopard - all attempts revert to default settings. Maddening because we do numerous different print jobs - some requiring staples and collating, some with a color first page, some a mix of both. One of a kind -- no problem -- print 50 and you have to set the preset for each copy. AARG!! Solution -- unacceptable!! Boot under Tiger.

    This is a known problem and will most likely require an update form Apple:

  • Indesign cs6 freezes/crashes on Windows 7 64 bit selecting desktop folder

    Dear All,
    I'm experiencing a very strange behaviour of Indesign CS6 who freezes/closes in specific situations connected with desktop folder.
    I try to explain the issue:
    I got a brand new PC with Xeon CPU E3-1246 3.5 GHZ, 8 GB RAM, Windows 7 64bit and Clean installation of Indesign CS6.
    Indesign works great and fast, but everytime I try to open a file (from file ---> open) and select the desktop folder the program stop thinking for 1 second than closes down without crashing, without errors without anything.
    Same thing happens when I try to insert a picture in a frame selecting it from the desktop folder (only this folder, all the others work perfectly).
    I couldn't find anything useful on the internet to solve this kind of problem.
    Does anybody had the same problem? How did you solve that?
    Thanks in advance for help.

  • IPhoto 7.1.1 Under Leopard 10.5.1 Will not print photo under "save as PDF"

    iPhoto 7.1.1 Under Leopard 10.5.1.
    Select a photo, choose "print" icon at bottom of iPhoto window.
    Choose "print".
    Choose "Save as PDF".
    Result: Unknown error message appears with white space (no text) in message box, but with "OK" button.
    Hit "OK button".
    RESULT: iPhoto prints a screen shot of the iPhoto window and renders it to a PDF file.
    In other words, *the print function under iPhoto does not work*. It yields an error every time that does not have a message, then *instead of printing the selected photo, takes a PDF screen shot of the iPhoto window*.
    This is an example of poor programming. And of course, there is no way to fix it, or to get help.
    Is anyone else having this problem?

    This is an example of poor programming.
    How do you come to this conclusion. It's working fine for me. You're the first to report such an issue.
    First repair disk permissions with Disk Utility and delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. A corrupted pref file can cause all sorts of unusual performance problems. If that doesn't help, log into another account and try from there. If it still doesn't work a reinstall of iPhoto seems warranted. To reinstall iPhoto you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder.
    It iPhoto performs correctly in the other account then your primary account is the culprit and may be a preference file other than iPhoto's that's at fault. To determine if that's the case try the following;
    Trouble Shooting Preferences
    Go to HD/Users/Your_name/Library. Move the Preferences folder (in its entirety) to the Desktop and make a second copy of it so you have Copy A and B. Now try the the process again and determine if problem is fixed.
    If the problem IS fixed, then go to the new Prefs folder that the OS will have created and open it up.
    Open Copy B on the Desktop and select all of the items inside. Drag them into the open new library folder. When the Copy window comes up check the Apply to All check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here. That will keep the new files created and bring back all of the others.
    If the problem is NOT fixed, trash the new Prefs folder and move the intact Copy A folder back to the Library folder .
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Adobe Indesign CC2014 and mac freeze crash at dialog box "nouveautés"

    Hi !
    Adobe Indesign CC2014 and the mac freeze crash when the dialog box "nouveautés" appears !
    The Indesign CC work fine and doesn't crash, but the CC2014 freeze on this dialog box !
    Is there a possibility to do this dialog box don't appears ? In preference file to edit on the disc for exemple ? or a file to delete ?
    Thanks

    Thanks pooja2087 but that doesn't work !
    But I have news :
    I have started without extensions (with "Maj") and then the windows "Nouveautés" appears but totally white, but that is working, i can close the windows and work with indesign. But the windows appears on next launch because I cannot clic on the "don't show next time" case (the windows is white).
    Then this windows is the problem (probably directX function that crash my old computer (this one is old)).
    Then how can I desactivate this window on startup ?

  • InDesign 2.0.2 under Leopard

    Does anyone know if InDesign 2.0.2 will run OK under Leopard?
    Thanks for your help.

    sfthomas,
    Just out of curiosity, how did InDesign 2.0.2 work for you in Tiger. I got a free copy of it a long time ago when I bought a G4 tower. When I went over to my G5 and tried running it with Tiger never had any luck. It was a bear to get to open and would not run reliably. Hopefully you'll have more luck with Leopard.

    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the BOOT_TIME log message that corresponds to the last boot time when you had the problem. Now clear the search box to reveal all messages. Select the ones logged before the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    For example, if the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down for three minutes before you forced a restart, post the messages timestamped within three minutes before the boot time, not after. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract—not at the beginning.
    If there are long runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the crashed process and ends in ".crash". A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". A shutdown stall report has a name that ends in ".shutdownstall". Select the most recent of each, if any. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. It's possible that none of these reports exists.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash or panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.
    When you post the log extract or the crash report, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "The message contains invalid characters." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the text on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
