Indesign won't open / run on new iMac

I have recently used Apple's automatic file transfer function to transfer all of my data / applications etc from my old iMac to my new machine (an iMac also). I am now unable to open InDesign on my new machine - it quits while opening (with a dialogue box that sayd 'InDesign quit unexpectedly'). I have deactivated and uninstalled CS from my old computer, thinking this may be causing the issue, but it still doesn't work. All other programs within the creative suite are working.
My version is CS5.5, and my operating system is Mac OSX 10.8.2
If anyone can help that would be much appreciated. Otherwise can someone provide me with an email address or phone number for support? I am in Australia and keep being directed to a US phone number, which obviously has a different time zone and could cost a small fortune..
thank you.

Adobe applications should never be migrated. Uninstall and then install it properly using the original installation media.

  • MAIL won't open on my new iMac

    I recently purchase a new iMac (have macbook for years) and among various small issues I am having, MAIL won't open when I click the icon. It seems to be running but no window opens up. It was that I could right click the icon and select show all windows and it would come up, however this morning nothing seems to work. Apple support isn't open on weekends which is not great either, so any advice is appreciated.

    OS X: How to quit an unresponsive application using Force Quit
    If Mail still doesn't open, see below.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ 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. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    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.Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

  • IPhoto won't open on brand new iMac.

    I just bought a new 27" iMac today.  Every application works except iPhoto.  It will not open.  Reinstalled iPhoto from the applications disk.  Still won't open.
    What do I do now?

    Then, I suggest that you start over, reinstall the OS as detailed in your Everything Mac booklet, and, on first boot, use the Setup Assistant to migrate all of your stuff from the G5. Details in Setup new Mac. Once that's finished, reinstall the other software, such as iLife and anything else you had preinstalled.

  • I have just updated to 7.0.1 and suddenly my search results won't open in a new tab

    I have just updated to 7.0.1 and suddenly my search results won't open in a new tab (let alone a new window - something I much preferred in the past) although this option is checked.
    I even installed Tab Utilities Light Options - all of it's options work, but not for Search Bar.
    When I choose one of the search results and want to view several items on that site (let's say a page with some 50 photo's), there seems to be no longer a way to return to the original search result. I have to start from scratch.
    I hope this can be 'mended' because this is utterly annoying.
    Greetings

    Although 6 other people seem to have encountered this problem, nobody has offered a solution yet. Perhaps the following will put some Firefox gurus on the right trail.
    When I said "my search results", I meant the results obtained with Google (standard when installing Firefox). Now I have tried another search engine (Dogpile) and there The tabs do work. Very strange, isn't it ?

  • 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.

  • My iTunes won't open on the new ios7

    my iTunes won't open with the new iOS7. it will start to open then crash.

    Hi Kori,
    Close all apps: Double click on the Home button, then swipe up on the mini screens displayed above each open app.
    Reset your device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Silver Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen redisplays, see if your iTunes will open.
    Cheers,

  • InDesign won't open. Photoshop

    InDesign won't open. Photoshop & Illustrator do. I tried to register my product (Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design & Web Premium) but it won't take my code.

    Smilessarah what specific error message do you receive when opening InDesign CS6?  Also which operating system are you using?

  • Can't open iTunes on new iMac

    After migrating all my documents from a ProMac to an iMac I can't open iTunes in new iMac.  "iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes."  When I select "Download iTunes" I get "No Updates available" and an unknown error (-42408)

    Since it's brand new I'd call AppleCare and let them walk you through it. They will have you try things and you can give immediate feedback and they will take you to the next step. That would take us too long here. Apple's service is very good.

  • Indesign CS4 won't open or create new files. Why???

    I'm using Indesign CS4 and all of a sudden it won't open old files or creat new ones. I've restarted
    my machine and program and it still won't do anything. Any ideas?

    What sort of recent changes have you made on the system?
    What happens when you try to open files or create new ones? What OS? IS ID patched to 6.0.6?
    Have you tried trashing the prefs? See Replace Your Preferences

  • Why can't I open iTunes on new iMac?

    My wife has a brand new iMac running OS X Lion. She already has an iTunes account which she accesses on a year old iPad. She can not access her iTunes library or even get the page to open on her iMac. Going to Finder - Applications, shows iTunes as one of her apps but it will not open. The iTunes icon is on her task bar but all it does is bounce when clicked on. The bar at the top of the window has switched to itunes ( showing controls- File, View, Edit etc) but no page opens.  We are both newbies, are we missing something obvious?

  • Secure downloads: how do I get old Word to open them on new iMac?

    I had MS Office X and installed it (via data wire from old iMac) on my new iMac. The problem is that the new MS Office that is preinstalled wants to open all my downloaded documents. They are now downloading as "secure download" and my old version won't open them. My old version can open any document only after the document is downloaded and opened in the new MS Office 2004.
    I'm only using Office as opposed to Appleworks because tables/spreadsheets don't cross over from one platform to another easily and Office is the predominant software for those with whom I correspond via email.

  • Tascam US-122L won't work on my new iMac

    Just bought a brand new iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with OSX10.6.2 and my Tascam US-122L audio interface won't work. It worked on my old PC (slowly!), and it works on my friend's iMac with OSX 10.5.8, but not on mine!
    The Tascam control panel says "Device: none found", and the Garageband Audio input and output don't recognize the US-122L as being connected (they do on my friend's iMac with 10.5.8)
    I've emailed Tascam - they're very quick to respond, but the suggestions of new drivers, uninstall and reinstall drivers, firmware etc have not made any difference.
    Then I tried calling them - they told me it had nothing to do with 32 bit versus 64 bit, but that the new iMacs did not have enough power output from the USB ports to run the US-122L, and that I needed a powered USB hub. I've borrowed one to try, and guess what - still doesn't work!
    Any suggestions would be welcome, since Tascam don't seem to be able to help.
    Thanks.

    I doubt that insufficient USB power is the problem (whether supplied from a powered hub or an iMac). The Tascam US-122L is a discontinued model, replaced by the "Mk II" version, but either should comply with the USB bus powered spec to draw less than 500 ma (2.5 watts) or it wouldn't work with any standard USB host & most (including iMacs) would display a warning about it drawing too much power.
    I suspect this particular unit is somehow defective, in part because of the above & in part because of the "slowly" comment in the original post.
