Indesign won't run! help!

I have a macbook and have recently installed cs5 suite. Everything runs perfectly fine execpt indesign. I have no idea what the problem is. I can open it but as soon as I try to use it it freezes and then gives me the spiney wheel of death and I have to force quit. Can anybody help meeee?!

In a January thread I should have said explicitly, instead of merely implying, that there is almost no penalty for disabling SING by removing its plug-in. Adobe apparently has abandoned the technology after CS4, presumably because its use was limited and not worth the complications it caused. I assume the plug-in continues in CS5 only for backwards compatibility. I'd guess rather few ID files actually use SING glyphlets. The initial plan was to provide a means for making custom characters for InDesign's East Asian versions ("gaiji" means "outside [of fonts] character" in Japanese). Those of us who use CJK occasionally need custom characters and wish SING worked properly, but we managed without it before SING came along.

Downloaded Dashboard Widgets won't run, Help.

Can't figure this one out. Widgets that come with Leopard run fine. Any I download won't launch. I have 4 user accounts, all have same problem. I created a new user account and the downloaded widgets works fine.
So, not sure what happened but all users created prior to a certain point don't work, any new users now seem fine. Anyone else seen this? Any ideas on how to resolve?

Most of the widgets in Dashboard weren't working for me. So far as I am aware, this problem started when I tried to add new third-party widgets (downloaded through Apple-Downloads) after upgrading from Tiger to Leopard.
This is what got things working again -- and was much easier than an archive and install:
1. I took a screen shot (command-shift-3) with dashboard open to make a record of widget placement.
2. I disabled dashboard with DashboardSwitch (http://braintrigger.com/software/DashboardSwitch).
     (It might be that a restart would have done the same thing -- but for me this was easier.)
3. I removed all plists with the word "dashboard" or "widget" in its name from User/Library/Preferences, and left them in a folder on my desktop.
4. I enabled Dashboard with DashboardSwitch. (I believe it's the case that if you use this program to disable Dashboard, you cannot start Dashboard though the Dock until it's been enabled again with DashboardSwitch.)
     (For those who simply restarted in step 2, I'm guessing all you'd have to do at this stage is to open Dashboard normally.)
5. With the old preferences removed, Dashboard loaded with only the default widgets open. I clicked the plus symbol, removed those I didn't want to keep, and began adding back widgets, starting with ones originally supplied by Apple, and waiting after each one to be sure it was working. If something didn't work, I removed it and went on.
6. When I was done, only two widgets still wouldn't work.  It turned out both were only designed for Tiger, specifically, and not for Leopard. One I updated -- after which, it worked fine.  The other had no update for Leopard, so I had to replace it with something similar.
7. I reset preferences on the flip side of my widgets, then used the screen shot I took in step 1 as a guide for putting things back in place. (Yes, that's finicky -- but I liked them where I had them.)
8. After I had everything running the way I liked it, I trashed the folder with the old widget and dashboard preferences, which I had left on my desktop.
Everything's working fine now.  I hope this helps someone else.

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.

CS4 Windows 7 64-bit. InDesign won't run.

Error message: "missing files, please reinstall". On reinstall, setup hangs at "preparing to install". How do I get this app loaded and running?

Can't recreate the screen shot - I uninstalled InDesign in order to reinstall. During the reinstall process for CS4 (only installing the InDesign app) it starts the process
and the first screen displays "Preparing to Install..." - but nothing happens -- I waited for over 10 minutes (twice) and no progress was made.

You should probably just download the trial version of pse 12 and see if you can live with it.
Download a free trial or buy Adobe products | Adobe downloads
That being said, have you tried to install pse 1 on your computer?
How much free space is on your hard drive?
Do you have Internet Explorer 10 or 11?
Pse 1 can run on windows 7 x64, provided certain conditions are met.

Please help, CS3 won't run with 10.5.2! Please!

Installed 10.5.2 on my g5 dual 2.5 w 4.5 gigs ram (NOT) intel. Now my AE projects won't run. One started to and then quit. This is major for me. Involves dozens of projects. Please help.

Yes, my powerbook is also trouble-free.
But it's just too slow to run AE on.
And yes, yes, I did repair permissions. I did everything including a "safe" starup, repair permissions many many times, etc. etc. etc.
I'm beginning to think the problem with AE was with non-ae plugins. But then why did automator and software update cease to work?????

Ever since I installed MAVERICK, nothing now works, Flash Player won't run, printer works but scanner will not and the computer runs so slow. Any help anywhere?

wqn02h, first thing I would do is use Disk utility to repair permissions. Once this is done. Make sure you have the latest versions of the software you use. Also, check the manufacter of your printer/scanner for updated software. If they don't have updated software there are 3rd party alternatives that will work.

☞ 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.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
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 (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).

Trying to install Cs2 but old indesign won't uninstall or repair?

Trying to install the "new" posted on adobe, Cs2. Win vista for business. 1st step- add/remove programs. old indesign won't uninstall or repair! Get " was interrupted - try again" "can't find xxxxx file in dat 1 cabinet" ???
Searched forums for hours now! Help please!

Just went back through my start menu, and it CS, not CS2 that would not install under any condition on Windows 7. CS2 is running in the Windows XP mode Virtual Machine. XP mode is a free feature of Windows 7 Pro and Ultimate, and does not install on Vista.
That said, you can download and install Windows Virtual PC (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/support/virtual-pc-2007.aspx) which is a virtualization environment, and you can install Windows XP as a virtual machine from a set of XP disks.
There are people (and you seem to be one) who have successfully, more or less, gotten CS2 to install on Vista. I never ran Vista, so I'm shooting in the dark here a bit, but I would make the following recommendations for trying to get the programs installed:
First, run MSconfig and turn off all the unnecessary startup programs like Anti-virus and spyware scanners, third party firewalls, instant messengers, iTunes, browser helpers and toolbars, etc, and also go to the Services tab, hide all Microsoft services, and you can probably turn off just about everything that is left (lots of antivirus stuff runs as a service, for example). Re-boot into an adminsitrator account, cancel MSConfig when it reopens, and find the downloaded installer. If you have not already run the .exe file to extract the installer, do that next.
Once the installer is extracted, find the Setup.exe file, and right click it. In Windows 7 I have an entry to Troubleshoot Compatibility, and hopefully you have something similar. Choosing that gives me two options, Use Recommended Settings, which might work, but there's no indication of what they might be, or Troubleshoot Program. Choosing that should bring up another dialog where hopefully you can see a checkbox that says the program used to work in an earlier version, which you should check, and clear any others, then press next, which should bring up a list of previous versions where you can select Windows XP.
From there it should run the setup program in XP comaptibility mode, and once installed you should be able to set the program itself to also run in XP compatibility mode.
When the installation is complete you can run MSConfig again and click the Normal Startup radio button and reboot.

InDesign won't close files

Hallo everybody,
I'm new her at InDesign-Scripting-Forum, but I have a great problem, and hope there is somebody out who can help me:
My problem is that InDesign won't close files which have been opened.
Just a little Javascript (I have reduced it to the minimum):
var myFile="1.indd";
// Open the file
var myDoc=app.open(File(myFile));
// Close the file
myDoc.close(SaveOptions.no);
if(app.documents.length > 0)
alert("Still " + app.documents.length + " files opened");
If this script starts from InDesign Javascript Panel, there are no problems or errors.
InDesign will open the file (1.indd), and closes the file, and no alert will appear.
But.... if the Javascript ist copied to the InDesign "startup script" folder, so that InDesign should
run this script on InDesign Startup,the alert will appear.
If you are running the script in a loop, just like working with 10 files of a current directory,
InDesign will show alert of 10 opened files at the end.
So.. at the end of the script, I want to move the (opened and closed) file to another directory.
But when InDesign "says" the file is opened, I cannot move or rename the file.
(It is only possible when running the script manually by the Javascript Panel).
Can anybody help me, so that I can close the file, or that InDesign will close the file
when running as a "startup-script"?
Thanks very much.
Martin.

I have 8 MB of RAM. I restarted all the software, but not my computer.
It is in the left column that I am having the problem.
There was a previous discussion thread where a user on Mountain Lion was having the same issue, but it wasn't resolved in that discussion thread either.

I have a Windows 2003 Server 64-Bit, and when I upgraded to Firefox 4.0.1 now it won't run, it keeps saying to restart to complete the installation, but I've restarted theserver 4 times, and I still can't use it.

I have a Windows 2003 Server 64-Bit, and when I upgraded to Firefox 4.0.1 now it won't run, it keeps saying to restart the computer to complete the installation, but I've restarted theserver 4 times, and I still can't use it.

I ended up putting it in DFU mode. It's kinda hard to tell it was in DFU mode because nothing showed on the screen, it was just black, but the sounds from the computer helped to tell me it was connected.
Itunes still didn't recognize the device for whatever reason.
So I used redsn0w. I don't know if I can say that on these forums, but considering itunes was worthless at this point I am going to give credit where credit is due.
Now I am giving itunes a second chance to upgrade to 5.1, if it doesn't work, well, back to redsnow and maybe I will even jailbreak it this time rather than just using the fecovery fix found under extras.

How do I roll-back to the previous version of Firefox? An auto update occurred and now one of the programs used at the office (ACT! v6.0 SwiftMail) won't run with the browser.

The office I work in uses a very old version of ACT!, an accounting package. This package has a component called SwiftPage, an antiquated email system that enables us to email from the ACT DB. SwiftPage runs via the web browser.
Firefox just did an auto update (that I will have to find out how to turn off) and now SwiftPage won't run as it is not compatible.
Can I "roll-back" my version of Firefox or do I have to uninstall and try to re-install an older version?
HELP!

Try loading and using the add-on from this link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/
Many add-ons do in fact work if you force them to run. The procedure to roll-back is given in this article: [[installing previous versions of firefox]]
Unfortunately the official Firefox policy is that you downgrade to 3.6 which is supported for a while longer, and not the now unsupported Firefox 4. If after installing and running the ''add-on compatibility reporter'' you still have problems there are ways around the official policy.
I think it is absurd that Firefox 4 may be used by tens of millions of users one day and a few days later those that upgrade to Firefox 5 should be not only told not to use a now unsupported browser, if they need to revert due to problems, but are actually obstructed in attempts to do so.

Any help would be most appreciated.
/Ed.

I had the same problem on CentOS 6.2 x86_64, albeit not on EC2. It seems that the installer creates a symlink to the i686 libpcap (libcap.so.1 -> /lib/libcap.so.2) and fmsedge won't run with it. Manually removing that symlink and instead linking to the libcap.so.2 in /lib64 solved the problem for me.
cd /opt/adobe/fms
rm libcap.so.1
ln -s /lib64/libcap.so.2 libcap.so.1
