InDesign won't work at all!

I bought the Adobe CS5 over the summer. I installed it and registered it and all of those things. All of the programs have been working fine aside from InDesign. Every time I try to open the program I get as far as the blank document and then I get the spinning rainbow wheel. This happens every single time. I have tried to sit it out assuming that maybe something was really loading, but left alone it will just do the spinning rainbow wheel for hours on end. I do not know how to fix this. Every other program works without any issues but this one is completely unusable. Please help!

The big three "suspects" for this sort of problem are usually Suitcase or Q2ID or SING.
John Hawkinson, our resident Mac crash expert, will ask you to do the following:
Run Activity Monitor, select InDesign, Sample Process, and upload the file to http://pastebin.com. Then run View > Send Signal: Abort (SIGABRT) to force a crash and upload the crash report there too. Post a link here and we'll tell you why it's hanging.

Computer is balky random freezes across apps. Two hard drive cleans later (their scan reveals no hard drive problems) photo shop won't work at all, magic touch mouse inoperable and their diagnoses is corrupted data? Anybody heard of this?

Well, yes, data does get corrupted sometimes.
The trick is finding what data.
By 'cleaned' are you therefor meaning that the drive has been erased and the system re-installed?
Because that's the quickest way to deal with such a situation.
Back up the system first of course,
Add back 3rd party apps one at a time in case one of them is causing the problem.

Installed itunes 6 and now CD/DVD drive won't work at all

I just bought a new ipod and installed the software and now my CD/DVD drive won't work at all. Here is my info: Could someone please help!!!

If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.

If anyone has a solution for this stupid problem that would be great.
Thanks

Yes, I suspect that it's the virtual drive emulator software you have there. I know nothing about that software and it doesn't look like the Roxio support page even mentions it, so it's probably software old enough that they're not supporting it anymore.
To uninstall any software, I would start with the "Add and Remove Programs" Control Panel. Uninstall it there, and then use the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility —
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=290301
Download and install that. Run it and find the drive emulator software on the list and remove it there. And reboot and see if that has successfully removed it.
There is a work around that if we just remove the iTunes CD driver, you'll probably get your drive back, but you'll only be able to rip CDs, you won't be able to burn them without the iTunes CD driver installed. You do have some Pinnacle CD burning software installed. Are you currently using that or is that leftover cruft as well?

The tools on Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 seemed to have frozen. The crop symbol is 3 of the symbols nest to each other. The hand move tool is not one hand but 3 next to each other. Other tools won't work at all. Really nice!

Ya, okay ! I use a number of PSE programs, one of which is PSE 9. The tools for some reason seem to have frozen. When I use the move tool I don't get just one hand but 3 hand symbols all next to each other. Same thing with the crop tool, I don't get one symbol but 3 all next to each other. There are a couple of tools that just don't work at all. It's like the PSE 9 got hit with some virus or sorts. Oh well, live and learn. Trying to get through to tech service is next to impossible.

Have you seen this other thread you started about this problem?
Photoshop Elements 9 is messed up.
Did you use Barbara's fix?
It would be less confusing if you only posted this question once, not three times:
HOW DO I RESET ALL THE TOOLS IN PSE 9 ? THE CURSOR IS REALLY MESSED UP AND DOES NOT WORK WITH THE TOOLS. I TOUCH THE HAND AND I GET 3 HANDS, I TRY TO USE THE CROP AND I GET 3 SMALL CIRCLES. THE CURSOR IS REALLY MESSED UP. DO I HAVE TO GET ANOTHER PSE 9 ?

Color replacement tool won't work at all

Hi, I am using photoshop CS3 in 10.6.2. The color replacement tool is not a tool I have much experience with, but am wondering why it won't work at all. I have reset the tool to its default preferences and tried using it on multiple documents and with different users and it just won't work. Nothing happens at all. I have watched some tutorials on using the tool and it looks easy enough and quite straight forward to use. I have tried every setting for the tool and still nothing happens. I am working on the top layer and have not selected anything. I have tried merging all the layers onto one layer incase the tool wasn't working because it would only replace the color of what is on a layer.
Thanks for your help.

The mode is color. The sampling is continuous and the limits are contiguous. These are the default settings for the tool.
I am noticing that the tool does work a little. I created a new document with 3 layers. The bottom layer is a white background. The middle layer has a blue square on it and the top layer is blank.
I notice that the color replacement tool won't work on the white background layer or the top blank layer, but only works on the middle layer. Does the tool only work on the same layer that has a color you are trying to replace?
When I hit the command option shift E keys to merge the layers into a copy, the tool only worked on the part of that layer that had the rectangle drawn on it and ignored the white part of the image.

Sync with .mac never seemed to work great, now won't work at all

sync never seemed to work that well for me, now it won't work at all. I get the following message now:
.Mac Sync Error
A failure occurred while synchronizing the .Mac Sync Client.
I've tried reseting all the .mac stuff, but nothing seems to work now. Its pretty frustrating. Plus, while mac support in the store and over the phone is superb, .mac support online is a joke. Doesn't anyone have any suggestions?

With the exception of a framework reset, iSync no longer has anything to do with .Mac synchronization, which is instead handled exclusively by .Mac Sync.
I would start with a search of this forum for the error messages you describe:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=957
Some of the same users who answer questions here regarding iSync, also do that there for users of .Mac Sync.

I can call and text normally but my 3g won't work at all.

I'm using an iPhone 4S and although I can call and text normally, my phone's 3G won't work at all. My wifi sometimes also gets those little errors too from time to time. Is it possible to have that kind of problem in the iPhone 4S?

You need to restore your iPad using recovery mode and the process is covered in this article.

Front Row won't work at all

Before the latest update of "Keychain and Login" my Front Row app would work partially
with blanking out in the slideshows and movies, However now it won't work at all.
Is there a fix in the works for this problem?
Dave

Figured it out...
The "Front Row" settings were set for a screensaver, That's why the monitor kept blanking out,
I've turned off the screensaver in the settings and "Front Row" works fine now.
There is no screensaver image chosen, That's why the screen kept going blank or even off.

My ipod won't work at all

I plugged it into a universal car charger that had a switch on it for different devices. I didn't realize it wasn't on the "usb" option when it was plugged in. Now it won't work at all, do I need a new battery, hard drive or both?

If you have a USB power supply for the iPod try plugging it in that and let it sit for a while. Your battery may need some charging before it will come alive again. This happens when a battery gets depleted to a point that it needs a lot of charging to come back. If you don't have a USB supply plug it in your USB port and let it charge for a few hours. It will take longer using the USB port.
If this doesn't help you will need to consider getting your battery replaced.

Help, my home button won't work at all!!!

Hi,
my home button won't work at all, and when I tried to restart the phone, the message appears that this action won't work unless the phone is on the airplane mode. Can't really read the whole message cause it disappears after a second or so.
I put the phone on the charger and the USB connection also failed.
What happened?

It sounds like it's broken. Assuming you haven't jailbreaked or otherwise hacked it you should try a Restore or a Recovery. If you put it in the cradle and you can't restore it see: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305797 for Recovery mode.
If this doesn't work call Apple or take it to an Apple store; it probably needs to be replaced.
If it HAS been hacked go to the source of your hacking tools for help; we aren't allowed to discuss it here.

Hello I went to wipe my 1st generation iPad and then tried to update the iOS now the iPad won't work at all any ideas what I can do?

You can't update the original iPad beyond iOS 5.1.1 so if you were already running that version, there was no reason to wipe the iPad to try to update.
Won't work at all, doesn't tell me the whole story. Does it power up but not respond to anything? Does it not power up at all? Some detailed information in context would really be helpful.
IF the device will not start up, try a reset. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple Logo appears on the screen.

InDesign won't work at all!
