InDesign won't launch on my laptop

Today for some reason. I have tried everything I can think of. Any suggestions?

Windows 7.
CC 2014
Nothing happens. I have tried all ways of opening the program and files and even opened the task manager to see if anything initiates and nothing happens. I uninstalled and re-installed the software. Checks all the setting I could think to check. I am not very "savy" so, most likely its something super simple but I can't figure it out. I have used the program on this computer previously with no issues but I was on a network and not via wireless but that shouldn't matter.

Photoshop CC won't launch on my laptop

I've downloaded Photoshop CC and update twice, but it won't launch from Creative Cloud, and i can't find the program in my files. Help?

As i wrote my crystal ball is not working well on this. I can not tell if you have installed Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop application which is used to Install Photoshop creative cloud versions Or that you downloaded the Photoshop direct installer without using Adobe Download Manager. You write PS goes immediately into an error and shuts down. You do not include what the error is. You do not show Windows Reliability History PS crash report.

InDesign won't launch for main user account

I upgraded to a new Mac Pro and copied over my old user and computer, all except the Applications folder. I reinstalled InDesign and it worked once, then crashed. It would not open after that, and I have since reinstalled. Still will not open. It bounces a few times and stops. I've created another ADMIN test account, and InDesign launches fine. Now my question is how to get it to launch in my main user account. Do the permissions need to be fixed, and if so, how?

I have removed everything from my user library and reinstalled InDesign. Now InDesign begins to launch, but then crashes when it gets to the 'Starting up Service Registry' line on the application screen. Any thoughts? My call to apple has yielded a 'we've done everything we can do' response.

Migrated InDesign won't launch

I have a new MAC laptop and migrated my applications to it from my desktop computer. Now InDesign CS5 won't open. (Photoshop and Acrobat work fine.)
How do I get InDesign back?
I thought I could reinstall from the original disks so I trashed the app from the laptop -- and did not use Adobe uninstall, which might be a problem.
But I'm not seeing an installer disk. Do I need to download from internet?
Help!
Thanks.

Please follow the steps below to download the Indesign CS5 for MAC :
The workflow is :
1. Navigate to the Indesign CS6 download page : http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=indesign

3. Copy and paste the following link on the address bar and hit enter.

http://trials2.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/IDSN/7/osx10/InDesign_7_LS1.dmg
4. Save the file.
5. After the file has been saved, Run the .dmg file to initiate the installation.
Hope this helps.

InDesign Won't Launch

My InDesign CS4 version will not launch. A message keeps popping up saying it cannot do so without restarting the computer first. I've tried it several times and still the message keeps popping up. It also mentions it has an Error Code: 5, if that helps.

You may have remnants of that or other versions of Adobe products. Use the Adobe Cleaner tool before trying a re-install:

Iwork won't launch on new laptop

Bought a MacBook Pro 17" running mac OS Lion 10.7.5. I use iWork a lot, I have the Family Pack, however, after reinstalling from my DVD discs and updating to the most current version, none of the iWork programs launch properly and none can open an existing file nor can they create a new file. Message just says that the cannot be opened. The template chooser doesn't load at startup either. Does anyone know what I'm missing here.

Remove the iWork set completely, use a remover application such as Appcleaner which is freeware:
Appcleaner Download
reinstall using the DVD
if this works, I suggest do not update iWork beyond 9.2 the latest update is causing some difficulties for some users.

Indesign CS5 won't launch on new MB Pro 10.8

After migrating Creative Suite 5 Premium from Mac OS X 10.6.8 to new Macbook Pro 10.8.5 Indesign won't launch while all other components do. I've posted the crash report at http://pastebin.com/JrVw4Sm4. Can anyone help with this problem?
I've already browsed the forum but didn't really got a clue how to sort it out. The original software was downloaded from adobe.subscribenet.com three years ago and doesn't seem to be available anymore for reinstallation. Product keys are in place...
Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks for your replies.
@Ankit:
Tried and removed the SING Datastore but still doesn't work.
@Salah
Updating also didn't work.
@Bob
I would have tried new installation but unfortunately don't have access to the original media installed from an electronic download. All I want to do is moving all applications from an old 13" MB Pro 10.6.8 to a new 10.8.5 and make sure they run within the new system before cleaning up the old one. Any idea what the specific problem is with InDesign since all other applications are running smoothly?

InDesign CS5 won't launch on Mac OS 10.8.3

Hi Peter:
I was using InDesign CS5 on my Mac Book Pro 17 and then purchased a new MacPro. I Transferred everything to my new laptop and every thing works except for InDesign and my Microsoft applications such as word, and Excell.
InDesign starts to launch and says "InDesign Quit Unexpectedly"

InDesign CS5 Won't Launch. Anywhere!

I recently updated my MacBook Pro to OS X Yosemite and now my InDesign CS5 won't launch.
I did some online troubleshooting and it suggested uninstalling and starting again. This would be problematic as I don't have a CD drive so can't install the software and research shows that CS5 is no longer available to download.
My InDesign comes as part of the Acrobat Professional Package V9 - not sure of this makes a difference!
Also, I tried downloading InDesign from CC, but it won't launch as it says I don't have the permission. Please help - I have a paper due for tomorrow!

You can download the CS5 installer from the links at the bottom of this page: Download and Installation Help

InDesign CS5 won't launch - missing plug-ins

InDesign CS5 won’t launch on Windows 7. I get the following error messages:
Cannot load the LINKS.RPLN plug-in
Cannot load the FONT USAGE DIALOG.RPLN plug-in
Cannot load the XMEDIA UI.RPLN plug-in
After these error messages InDesign crashes.
Do I need to reinstall the plug-ins?
If yes, how do I do that?

I couldn't find a repair option so tried to reinstall InDesign as you've suggested. This doesen't seem to work either, as I received the following installation error:

After installing ITunes 64 bit in my Windows 8 laptop, it won't launch

I just upgraded to Itunes 64 bit in my Windows 8 64 bit laptop. I've downloaded and installed it but it's not working. I've uninstalled and installed again and again, still ITunes 64 bit won't launch. Help!

Windows 8 or Windows RT? iTunes won't run on Windows RT. It should run on Windows 8. Use the appropriate installer from an account with administrator privileges.
Windows System Requirements
PC with a 1GHz Intel or AMD processor and 512MB of RAM
Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later, 32-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
64-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 require the iTunes 64-bit installer
400MB of available disk space
Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store

If I click it, the icon bounces once and that is it, no start up screen or anything, this is the first time this had happed to me, has anyone else experinced this?
Thanks!

Since you didn't state what you've tried there's not much for us to go on.

CC has disappeared and won't launch any apps

HELP please Adobe! Creative Cloud won't launch on my imac (OSX 10.9.1) and I can't open or run any of my creative suite apps. Cloud icon has gone grey and whenever I try to log in via the Adobe App manager I get this error message:
There was an error with this action. Try again later.

Not ideal when in the middle of a project and upagainst deadline!! It was all working beautifully until last night when InDesign crashed, never to be launched again. Please advise. Thanks.

Eggshell Design have you tried removing and reinstalling the Creative Cloud desktop application? You can find the uninstaller in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder.

Flash Professional CC won't launch

I'm running the free trial version of Flash Professional CC on my laptop (I'm running windows 8). I started the trial monday and this morning it wouldn't launch but put up this error message:
Adobe Flash CC Has Stopped Working
A problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
I've tried signing out of the creative cloud account and then signing back in.
I've tried uninstalling flash and reinstalling it.

I tried signing out of cloud and opening flash, but it still won't launch.
I checked the file in appdata\Local\Temp\oobelib.log and didn't find 'validation failed' when I ran a search.
I should add that I went back to the store where I bought my laptop and they told me that the free trial version of flash wasn't compatible with windows 8, but if I bought Flash that would take care of the problem. I came home and found this document on the compatibility of Flash with Windows 8.1 and so I upgraded my OS to 8.1 and reinstalled CC and Flash CC (free trial version). I ran into the same problem.
The explanation I got at the store doesn't make sense! I was able to run Flash for three days before this happened.
