Just installed InDesign CS 4

Hi, I just installed CS 4 and everything is snapping to other things, like boxes are snapping to other boxes. I think it could be cool but now its not. What is it and how do I stop it?
tia!

Once you get used to how it works you'll find it can save an incredible amount of time that you used to spend making selections of multiple objects and visiting the align panel.

Just installed InDesign and there are no minimise or exit buttons and the viewing window seems to be bugged and see through. Any one have any idea? See Image. Very odd, tried doing a cmd+alt+shift open and still no joy.

Hi Dale,
You can follow the article: System requirements | InDesign to check whether CS3 products can work on InDesign CS3.
Also please let me know what error message you are getting while re installing InDesign.
Thanks,

Not easy if vital information is missing. Sometimes it seems like people are using the internet the first time...
What version of Indesign?
What OS? "Rights" sounds like Windows
What is happening when starting it?
If Windows, where was it installed?
If Windows, do you have admin permissions?

I just installed Adobe InDesign CC 2014 and now I can't scale objects/type using Command+Shift Key. Has anyone else had this problem and if so, any solution?

There is a conflict with third party software or your system keyboard shortcuts. Lately, there have been many postings about conflicts with Chrome extensions so check there first.
It's not a new problem. I wrote about it on InDesignSecrets.com in 2006:

I just updated to cs6, but need to install indesign 5.5

So I just updated to cs6, but need to install indesign 5.5 because I share a lot of files with people still using cs5.5
How/Where can I download older versions of adobe products

Have you purchased Creative Suite 5.5? If so, and you choose the download option, it will be available under your account. You can find more details on locating the software at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1006208?tstart=0&promoid=KBHJQ.

I just installed Illustrator, and do not see the font samples in menu box. They show up in InDesign though..

I just installed Illustrator, and do not see the font samples in menu box. Can you tell me how to get them to show?
Thank you.

Sue,
I believe this may solve it:
Open System Preferences and go to Accessibility. Next, select Display from the source list along the left, then check the box labelled Reduce transparency.

Installing InDesign CS3 on Mac OS 10.9.5 Mavericks

Installation of InDesign CS3 on Mac OS 10.9.5 Mavericks
This question is Not Answered.
s c perks Oct 14, 2014 6:04 AM
1. I have InDesign CS3, which I bought about 6 years ago, and installed on my MacBook Pro. I have now got a new Mac Pro running OS 10.9.5 Mavericks. When I bought the machine I asked Apple if I would be able to install my InDesign and they said there would be no problem. But it will not install. The intsllation fails every time near the end. It installs Bridge and one other components, both of which it calls shared components. But InDesign is not installed.
I went to the Adobe web site and looked up what to do. I got to a page that had my product on and it seemed to be telling make I must download an installer. When I clicked on this link, however I got a page with the following message:
HTTP ERROR: 404 /support/downloads/dlm/main.jsp
RequestURI=/support/downloads/dlm/main.jsp
I do not know what to do now.
2. If I do download an installer (I did not need to do this when I first installed the programme on my lap top MacBook Pro 6 years ago, but just installed it from the disc), how do I get rid of the downloader afterwards, since I read somewhere, but cannot remember where, that I should get rid of the installer afterwards but that I should not put it in the trash bin?
Thank you for any help you can give me.

Many thanks for your help. I will try this. After posting this question yesterday I contacted Adobe and was astonished to find that they do not sell InDesign and do not support it and that one can only upgrade to monthly or yearly rental of CreativeCloud. I'm afraid for me this is nonsense, and I consider it very bad practice on Adobe's part. I will have to go to QuarkExpress instead if I cannot install Indesign CS3, which I nearly did do 6 years ago, but after reading such good reviews of InDesign and got it. I wish now I'd got Quark! I appreciate your help.

I just installed Creative Suite v 6.0 Master Collection and downloaded all product updates - I tried

I just installed Creative Suite v 6.0 Master Collection and downloaded all product updates - I tried opening a document created with InDesign v9.x Cloud version and I get an error that do not have the latest... what is going on here?

CS6 Master Collection is the last perpetual licensed product. The files created with CC version of Adobe apps are not, in many cases, compatible with CS6 versions.
Is there some reason you thought they were?

How to install InDesign upgrade over PageMaker upgrade

Perhaps I'm the only one in the world with this problem (so I've been told by customer support) but here goes...
I purchased PageMaker version 5 back around 1997. Since then, I purchased several upgrades so that I'm now at PM version 6.5. I just purchased InDesign CS4 as an upgrade to PageMaker. However, I can't get it to install because my PM 6.5 is an upgrade. If you are familiar with the PageMaker upgrade process, the upgrade searches the machine for an earlier version and uses its serial number. The serial number my PM 6.5 is displaying is the original version 5 serial number. There is no new serial number in the box for the PM 6.5 upgrade.
Calling customer care has been a total waste of time because:
1) Language barrier
2) Even though I'm staring at the PM 6.5 "About" screen and reading them the serial number, they insist I don't have version 6.5 - just one step short of calling me stupid or a liar.
3) They need my e-mail address from 11 years ago to confirm registration of PageMaker. I didn't have an e-mail address 11 years ago - I registered the product over the phone. They tell me without the e-mail address they can't help me.
4) They asked if I had a customer ID number from 11 years ago, which I happen to have in the original box. When I gave it to them, they tell me it isn't a "real" customer ID.
5) I can't get them to transfer me to someone who understands any of the above. They just tell me to call back when I can find my original e-mail address (the one I never had) else they can't help me.
I've invested thousands of dollars in PageMaker, Premiere, After Effects, and a host of other Adobe products, which I've registered and they can't find me in their system at all. This is nuts! [/ rant off]
So, can anyone point me to someone in Adobe who understands the upgrade and licensing methodologies used in their former upgrade packages or understands how to look up a very long time customer in their CIS database so I can get my new InDesign installed and registered? Any help will be appreciated.

I wanted to post a final report on my issue. I'm not one who gives up when confronted with ignorance (or lousy product support) when there is a principal at stake. After months of battling the "know nothings" in Adobe technical support, I finally wrote a formal letter to introduce Adobe management to my attorney who was of the opinion that I was entitled to either a product activation or a refund with additional compensation for my lost productivity (which I well documented) and legal fees. Upon receiving my letter and pondering their choices, Adobe called me and agreed an activation seemed like a reasonable solution. They provided me with an activation code, which I'm pleased to say worked.
If you go to the product support licensing page at http://www.adobe.com/support/service/ there is now a link on the right side of the page titled "Resolve previous version serial number issue when installing a CS4 upgrade". As such, Adobe is now aware this is a real problem. If you're experiencing the "old serial number carrying forward" problem as I did, first try the instructions provided by the link. If that fails, you need to call customer support (do not call technical support) and tell them you need to activate your InDesign using an override.
Adobe support will take you through a procedure that consists of hidden key strokes and mouse clicks. Take good notes as you will need to remember the procedure if you should ever need to re-activate the installation. The procedure will open a challenge code and activation dialog. They will ask for the challenge code and your InDesign serial number. From that, they will generate an activation code that will bypass the normal [previous product] checks and activate your installation.
SPECIAL NOTE: When customer support gives you the activation code, write it down, along with the date. The activation code is somehow tied to the date. I learned this because I had a hard drive failure a few weeks ago and needed to re-install everything on my new drive. I first tried to re-enter the activation override code with no luck. After sitting on hold with Adobe customer support for two hours, I got the idea to change my system clock back to the date I received the activation code. Much to my delight it worked! So, if you should ever need to re-activate your InDesign, remember to set your computer clock back to the date you received the override activation code and follow the override procedure (referring to the good notes you took the first time).
I hope this helps others who are trapped in Adobe support purgatory with this issue.
Cheers!

Downloading and installing Indesign

OMG...this is the most pathetic site I have ever seen in my life. NOTHING by problem after problem after problem trying to download and access INdesign. Now trying to get on second computer. Morons on chat can't help. Tell me to do this and that. go away and it doesn't work. Site is slow and you have to sign in about 200 times.
It wouldn't allow me to install Indesign through cloud. They told me to download trial version and sign in. FINALLY got it downloaded. Chat rep said to click on LIcense this Software. When I do, it says I need an internet connect. OMG. I"m connected.
Do they really want you to purchase this crap, or just annoy you.
I'm so frustrated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[email protected] are you on a managed network? I would recommend beginning with the steps listed in Sign in or activation errors | CS6, CS5.5 Subscriptions, CS6 Perpetual - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-network-issues.html to resolve your current difficulties.

Cannot install InDesign once removed from computer

Hi Indesign users,
Here are some tech details:
1. MacMini 3.1, 6Gb RAM, OS X 10.9
2. Adobe CC - InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator
3. InDesign worked without errors until this morning.
4. No updates from yesterday (Saturday, Novermber 30) and today (December 1st)
5. No fonts installed in between.
What I did:
This morning (December 1st) I tried to open an InDesign file to check if my collaborator finished the project. The file is hosted on Dropbox in a folder we are sharing. Therefore, I did what I am always doing with any of my IND files: double click on it to open it. It opened the file, showed me a white screen with all the InDesign tools and menus. And it stood that way for several minutes until I decide to force IND to quit.
Then I tried again to open just the IND software. IND started to gave me an error like: IND is shuting down from a serious error.....
I turned off the computer and started it again. InDesign opened the file properly, but I cannot do anything: no scrolling, no navigating between pages, nothing. It was frozen showing me a rainbow circle cursor for minutes. Therefore I decide, again, to force the software to close. I cannot open InDesign at all after that. The same message of a serious error is showed.
I delete all kind of files based on things I read on the forum: from caches, workplaces etc. Nothing worked.
As I had enough of those errors I was experiencing several months ago, I decide to completeely remove the InDesign hoping that I can reinstall it again, clean without errors.
I delete all instances where InDesign might be present. At least I think that way.
I shut down the computer and open it again, went to Creative Cloud Desktop Manager and when I tried to choose install InDesign, surprise. The manager is shopwing me that InDesign is Up to Date. I cannot install it.
Please help.
I did a complete instalation of my MAC a month ago just to get rid of those InDesign errors. I had enough of it. I do not care to reinstall my MAC again from zero just because that damn application.
Warm regards,
Sebastian
P.S. I just read on an older post something. In that folder I am sharing there is a file having the extension: *.idlk That's why I cannot open the InDesign file? What to do in the future when I see files like that? Anyway, that is now unimportant since it will not save me from missing installing option for InDesign.

How can I re-download and install InDesign CC 2014

I downloaded and installed InDesign CC2014, but the install appears to be corrupted. I uninstalled it and need to re-download, but the CC App just says it's up to date and won't let me re-download it

CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed

Trouble installing InDesign CS5.5 update.

I'm on Windows 7. I installed InDesign CS2. Then I bought the CS5.5 update. During the "Initializing Installer" phase, it throws off the the following message:
"Installer failed to initialize. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem."
The support adviser tells me:
cpsid_83578r3: Error, "Validate license at Pre-chrome" when installing - Creative Suite 5
Click here for details and corrective actions related to this issue.
So I click the link, and a few steps later, I'm looking through something on my computer called the PDapp.log file. Here's what was in that file.
Of course, I have no idea what that means.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling CS2, but now when I try to run that version, I get the folling error:
"Adobe InDesign CS2 has stopped working."
Yikes!
Does anyone have any information about this situation?
Thanks for any help!
Doug

Thanks for the reply.
I tried the cleaner just now, but as you said, it won't work for CS2. There's no option inside the cleaner for that. I thought I'd give it a try for CS5.5, but it seems to only want to clean up stuff that's been installed, and I can't get my ID CS5.5 to install...
