InDesign won't open. Application not responding.

I updated InDesign today. Now it won't open. Application not responding.

From what I have been reading from other posts on this forum, the
issue may be caused by the clear history settings. It was suppose
to have been fixed in v30.

IMovie won't open - "Application Not Responding"

I can't get iMovie to successfully launch. When I try, the iMovie program window never shows. Right clicking on the active iMovie icon in the dock shows "Application Not Responding."
I've tried restarting, booting into safe mode, and reinstalling iMovie. No luck.

Yes, as long as you let TM do a full disc backup (that is, you do not exclude anything in the TM backup settings) you will have a backup that allows a full system restore - puts everything back just as it was.
You can also clone your system using the shareware app SuperDuper or the donation-ware app CarbonCopyCloner
http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html
http://www.bombich.com/
Both of these apps will make a true clone (literally, a bit-by-bit copy) of your hard drive onto an external drive. This clone will actually be bootable itself (you plug in the drive and hold the option key during startup then select the clone to boot from). You would boot from the clone, then reverse-clone it back onto your internal hard drive.
If you are really serious about being highly confident of not loosing files, you could use both - I keep a TM backup on one drive, and 2 clones on separate bus-powered hard drives.
P.S. even if you had not had any issues, you really, REALLY should be keeping regular, up to date backups anyway - things go flooey without warning sometimes and you risk loosing everything on your machine if you DON'T keep regular backup copies available.

Mac is running SUPER Slow, applications not responding when i open them, Beachballs everywhere

Whenever i open an application (Take Google chrome for an example) it bounces like 20+ times, then on activity monitor it says "Application Not Responding". Whenever i type too fast on spotlight or finder, my whole desktop freezes, im suspecting this can be maybe HDD failure, i have repaired my MacintoshHD probably 3 times this past week. I have 150GB free out of a 250GB hdd, and i have 4 GB RAM. PLEASE HELP! Im currently enrolled in college and this is vital and needs to be fixed ASAP.

How do I fix Mountain Lion issue after login where Keychain Access attempts to open, hanging up with "application not responding" message?

How do I fix Mountain Lion issue after login where Keychain Access attempts to open, hanging up with "application not responding" message?

You could try booting into Safe Mode to see if that will help. And "Repair Permissions" in Disk Utility.
Have you got Keychain set to open on Login or is it attempting to open on it's own.

I keep getting a message that Firefox is open and not responding. That I have to close the Firefox application or restart my computer. A real pain. Why is the firefox application not closing.

Sounds like Firefox is "hanging at exit". That problem is frequently caused by an Extension or a Plugin. Read all of the following articles. 
NOTE: Establish a habit of exiting/closing Firefox with Firefox button > Exit or File > Exit to allow an orderly shutdown of Firefox and closing of all of the files that Firefox has open.

Downloaded yosemite and mail application not responding? will not open can any one help?

downloaded yosemite and mail application not responding? will not open can any one help?

Restart the machine in Safe Mode and attempt to open each app. Also please explain exactly how you are attempting to open the apps. For example, "When I click the Safari icon on the Dock it bounces but does not open." To start in Safe Mode hold down the Shift key when you hear the startup tone unitl a progress bar appears.

Help please-"Application Not Responding" for Safari and Mail

I read in one discussion that if Safari is slow, you can go to Font Book and select the fonts with a bullet to get rid of duplicate fonts. I did that, and then decided to disable some japanese fonts I don't use.
Now Safari and Mail don't work. Mail won't open at all, and Safari launches but doesn't load and I get the spinning wheel.
I used Disk Utility to fix permissions, and that didn't solve the problem, and now my Disk Utility also says "Application Not Responding".
I also went back to Font Book and enabled all the fonts I disabled. Still nothing.
( I can use Netscape-so it's only Mac applications I guess)
Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks!

Wow- i fixed it! I remembered that when I was in Font Book originally, there were some fonts disabled, and I enabled them.
I couldn't remember EXACTLY which ones, but I disabled some I thought were the ones, and VOILA!
Mail works, Safari works...what a relief!
And it only took me HOURS...oh well.
If this might help anyone, here are the fonts I disabled again-
BeteNoirA Regular

Chrome Yellow
Coventry Garden

Anyone know if I should throw these fonts away? maybe a stupid question, but I'm not very good at this stuff and hesitate to change anything.

Microsoft Word Freezing Repeatedly, Application Not Responding

Just wondering if anyone else was having issues with Microsoft Word from MS Office 2008, where you open the application, you type a few sentences, and the application freezes with the spinning circle of death that won't go away until you click the dock where it says "application not responding" and do a force-quit? You can leave the circle spinning for 10-20-30 minutes, and it never goes away.
Now for the weird part--this error only happens for me when I'm using a specific document on my computer. I can open Word, start a new document, type several paragraphs of text, and it works fine. But I've been working on an existing paper for about two months that all of a sudden started causing these freezes/crashes when editing it. It's about 30 pages roughly, no images, no big inserts that would take up a lot of memory (116 kb in size). And up until today, there were no problems. So why all of a sudden can't I edit anything on this paper without freezing the program?! I downloaded the Microsoft Office 2008 Service Pack 1 that was just released after this problem started, and ran all the recent Java and program updates through Software Update with computer restarts. I even copied the text from the Word document I was working on, pasted it into a new document, tried saving it as both .doc and .docx, and again the program still freezes when working with that text in a new file. This one baffles me. It's like the text within a document is somehow freezing the application. One thing I did notice is that the freezes seem to happen when I'm scrolling using a mouse wheel. Not always, but quite a bit. I suppose this is some memory issue related to several pages of text that the program can't render or process when you add new lines of text or scroll, but again, I can't figure why this paper I've been working on for months all of a sudden decided to start freezing Word today. Can you really only have 30 double-spaced pages of text in Word before it crashes?
Looks like I've found my reason to switch to Open Office, since I'm 3-4 days out from a deadline. Any other solution strategies would be welcome. Thanks.

Same problem here - Microsoft Word 2008 (update 12.1.7) will open fine, and then start the spinning pizza of death. Only way out is to force-quit the app. I've tried:
1) deleting plist and font cache files
2) uninstalling MS Office 2008, reinstalling and then re-applying updates 12.1.0 and 12.1.7
3) confirming that Apple's Font Card.app can verify all fonts
No luck. Currently I can't open any MS word doc without the spinning pizza of death.
If you are lucky enough that these symptoms only happen with a specific Word .doc file, I would see if the PC-originator could re-save the file as .RTF and resend. If you can then open it OK, you could revert back to .doc (or .docx) format. RTF format is Microsoft's interchange format. If there are anomalies in the .doc file, saving as .RTF can sometimes clean them up. Once done, you can revert back to native MS Word format.

Application not Responding - CS5, OS10.6.8

If I have a CS5 application running w/ a document open, and switch to another running application, when I try to go back to the CS5 app (click on the document window or select the icon in the dock), I often get the spinning beach ball and the "Application not Responding" message (if I control/click on the dock icon). I need to Force Quit the app & restart. Happens frequently in InDesign, Illustrator & Photoshop. I'm on a MacPro w/ 6GB ram. Anyone else experiencing this / have a solution? - thanks

John, I deleted Extensis Suitcase Fusion and re-installed InDesign. It worked for a short time and now its crashing again. The crash report is still showing the problem to be Suitcase. What else can I do to get rid of all traces of Suitcase.
Bruno is correct, un-installing InDesign doesn't remove the Suitcase Auto-Activation Plugin from InDesign.
0xa9b9000 - 0xab39ff3 +com.extensis.AutoActivationPlugin.ID7 (3.0.4.11 - 3.0.4.11) <C60215EF-E853-7053-497C-7AC0D279746A> /Applications/Adobe InDesign CS5/*/ExtensisFontManagementIDCS5
I'm not sure why it is indicated with a * instead of a precise folder name, but that's saying there is a ExtensisFontManagementIDCS5 plugin (probably in the Plugins folder!) inside /Applications/Adobe InDesign CS5 that is causing the fault. So if that's still there, remove it. (Perhaps Manage Plugins from Suitcase will do it for you. I'm not really familiar with Suitcase. But you can just remove the file by hand).
By the way:
Version: 7.0.0.355 (7000)
You really should update InDesign to the current patch release, 7.0.4. There are quite a lot of bugs in 7.0.0 that have been fixed. (Perhaps you had updated previously but those were lost with the re-install...)

Computer says firefox is open but cant be found so I have to close computer and start over. computer says firefox is open but not responding

Hello,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems?esab=a&s=troubleshooting&r=3&as=s#w_5-reinstall-firefox here].
WARNING: Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.
