InDesign won't open... HELP!

I just upgraded from CS to CS2. I use Illustrator and Photoshop daily, and I've already used ImageReady, so I know those all work, however, InDesign has yet to function properly. InDesign goes through it's opening process and gets to the welcome box, but once it's there, the program freezes and I get the spinning wheel of death (the "busy" rainbow wheel in the mac.) The only solution from there is right click/CTRL click + Force Quit and shut it down. I really need to get in for a project I started in CS (and have nearly completed) but the program won't even open.
Does anyone have a suggestion on why this is happening and what I can do to fix it? I really need to use this program ASAP.
THANKS!!
Amanda

Buko,
I agree and I understand where you're coming from. I wouldn't want to help people with illegal software either. However, my previous actions were in response to your rude behavior. If you had simply asked for information, I would have been glad to provide whatever was needed. I don't respond well to people that act so brash - especially toward someone they have never met - and I'm sure other people in these forums would feel the same way. I don't appreciate being accused of pirating when I was not. (BTW, the copy of CS that I had been using for so long was TOTALLY pirated, so I finally got a legal copy and was thrilled.) I am being totally honest here and hope that you don't take this with a poor tone... I don't intend this to be nasty at all.
I've never been here before or needed help with such problems, and since I am new to these forums I was unaware of what I should post. I will take note of the information from OldBob for the next time I need help. But in all honesty Buko, a nicer tone goes miles further than a nasty, sarcastic one. I'm no computer whiz, I've never been here before, and I'm just trying to find a solution to my frustrating problem. Getting such a nasty response right out of the gate was highly irritating and uncalled for. I'm sure you're very talented and can provide useful help, but your posts were very nasty.
On a positive note, I would like to know more about what you meant with saying makes the software my software is not optimum for my setup. Is it CS2 or my system? And what can you suggest that would make this situation, at least, more tolerable? (Unfortunately the likelihood of me getting CS3 any time soon is very slim... I finally got my very cheap boss to spring for CS2 a month ago, I doubt he'll go for an upgrade already.)
Thank you,
Amanda

  • InDesign won't open, help me!!

    I am doing some work for college in which I have to add text to a tif file in InDesign but for some odd reason when I click on the icon on my desktop it comes up with a message saying that it won't open, does anyone know why?

    You'll have to tell us the exact content of that error message to get help.

  • CS3 InDesign won't open a CS2 In Design .INX file

    CS3 InDesign won't open a CS2 In Design .INX file.
    I sent my graphic designer an .INX file created on CS2
    and he got an error message and said he could not open.
    He said it is not possible.
    He lost the job - because he didn't want to investigate further.
    I can't imagine ADOBE leaving this problem unsolved!
    What do I do??

    I don't recall that. I can visualise the situation, but then I would expect it to create the same lost feature problems as encountered in opening with an earlier version. So there would still be a risk that the file would lose something in translation.
    And then again, if a CS2 plug-in has been used and is required to open the file, I would expect the translation into XML to ignore anything that can't be translated, and for the depleted file still to open in CS3.

  • Indesign won't open

    I was using indesign yesterday for my school work and I think I ended up having to force quit it becuase it wasn't closing and today when I went to open it it won't open. It doesn't say why it just says indesign as quit unexpectedly. It won't even open in safe mode. Can anyone help me fix it??? I'm desperate as I have homework to finish on it!!

    You probably have a damaged file inthe recovery folder that is crashing as soon as ID restarts. With ID cloes, find the recovery folder -- since you haven't said what version, I'll send you to the Replace Your Preferences link and tell you that it is normall y in the caches folder wher you'd find InDesign Saved Data, and those locations are listed there for you -- and move everything in it to the desktop (you can probably delete it all later, but make sure you don't need it, first). ID should now restart, and if the original file is not damaged it should open at the last saved state, so you may have lost some work, but at least not the whole file.

  • DESPERATE... Indesign won't open most of my Indesign files???

    Sorry if my message sounds panicked but I am going out of my mind with worry. I am working late on a deadline to get a job done, my inDesign has decided to give me the following message when I open any of the many 100 inDesign files I have made: 'Cannot open the file "nameof file.indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application.
    Please can anyone tell me what is going on. I am sitting at my desk in tears. If I don't make my morning deadline i'm fcked!!!! to be quite blunt :-(
    Does anyone know how to fix this? Everything was working up until about an hour ago and a old inDesign files work but not the ones that I need.
    Help me, i'm seriously in despair here :-( :-( :-(

    Sounds very much like these files were edited with a newer version of ID
    than you're using.
    What version are you using? If it's earlier than CS3, you can email me
    one of the files that won't open and I'll try it here. If I can open it,
    I'll let you know what the history of the file is.
    Click my name, go to my website and you'll find contact info there.

  • My iTunes won't open help please! what should I do?

    My iTunes won't open, when I try to open it, it says:
    "The file 'i Tunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes."
    What can I do about this? please help me.

    Ps.. My quicktime opens and I can search for music and play it but itunes still wont' open
    thank you kindly.
    another couple of preliminary questions aimed at narrowing in on possible culprits.
    (1) do you have Norton Internet Security 2005 installed on the PC?
    (2) reboot the PC. bring up your Task Manager, and click on the "Processes" tab. now try to launch itunes again.
    does an "itunes.exe" process appear in the Processes tab? if so, does it persist in there or does it disappear after a few seconds?

  • InDesign won't open when network drive is not available.

    Hi everyone,
    I have a laptop (MacBook Pro OSX10.9.5), which shares a network drive in my office. The drive is with a different computer. When I take the laptop out of the office network (to a meeting or home), InDesign will not open, it gives me the following error (see attached image). I've tried replacing the Defaults and SavedData files, and also re-installing InDesign from scratch. I still get the same error. Any idea what is happening or how to fix it? Thank you in advance.
    Rafa.

    Hi!
    I figured out what the issue was, finally. After playing around, I noticed that my InDesign Fonts folder, had "alias" links to some fonts that resided on that shared drive. As soon as I deleted all the ones that where aliases, the error went away. Hopefully this helps someone in the future.

  • Itunes won't open - help!

    I have been using itunes for 3 months without any problem and for the past week it will not work. The problem I am getting is when I double click the itunes shortcut, sometimes an egg timer is displayed for 10 secs, then nothing. On other times, I manage to get the itunes licensing agreement on screen. I have tried everything to get it working - I've clicked on save, then agree. I've clicked on save, then disagree but itunes still won't open. I have read through the support section on the itunes website and carried out the following:
    1. uninstalled & reinstalled itunes
    2. uninstalled & reinstalled quicktime
    3. run windows clean up to uninstall itunes & quicktime
    4. rebooted PC so many times and wasted so many hours!
    I am now at a complete loss at what to do next. I still have the same problem - itunes icon is on desktop but nothing happens when I double click. Can someone please please help?
    Thanks
    Jackie

    hi Jackie!
    When I open up Task Manager, itunes application is running and I can't kill the process without rebooting my PC.
    usually i associate that "running itunes.exe process That Will Not Die" symptom with nasty version of the NIS 2005 itunes launch suppressions ... but you've got McAfee ...
    let's quickly check up on a possibility that can also result in you seeing a running itunes.exe (even though itunes silently fails to launch):

  • 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.

  • My Safari was updated to 5.1.9 and now it won't open - help!

    Safari updated itself a few days ago and was working fine up until this morning.  Now I click on it, it bobs up and down once or twice, but a browser window won't open.  Any suggestions for what I can do to fix it?? 

    Ideally - locate a crash report from Console application... look in Diagnostic & Usage Information - User Diagnostic Reports in the log list on the left & see if there's one for Safari dated today. If so, copy it & paste the contents here.
