No tools in InDesign CC 2014

Hello,
I have recently installed InDesign CC 2014 on my laptop and its tools are just not appearing on the desk. If I go to the Window menu option, nothing appears there. Any suggestion?
Thanks a lot.
Eduardo.

Try resetting the workspace, and if that doesn't work, try resetting the preferences (see Replace Your Preferences ).
If that still doesn't work you probably need to reinstall.

Where is the vertical type tool in InDesign CC 2014???

aarrgghh
Where is the vertical type tool in InDesign CC 2014???

Thanks. Yes, I had referred to that InDesign Secrets post before posting my question. Thus my question about table. Still dont know why my insert table command is greyed out. The stairstep method doesnt work with my narrow spine and decorative, non-monospace font, as explained in exchange here with Bob Levine. And downloading the CJK version for this single, simple task is just too much trouble. The individual text frames proved the fastest solution.

Problems with InDesign CC 2014 tool palettes on an extended display

We have a Mac in our group set up with an extended display. With Indesign CC and before, we were able to move our InDesign tool palettes to the extended display, giving us a full view of our work on the main display. Now with the new upgrade to Indesign CC 2014, when using the tool palettes, the commands open on the main workspace display and the palettes will not collapse into each other unless you move them to the main display first. Can anyone offer help?

Ask in the ID forum and provide proper technical information like what Mac, what OSX, what display.

Action Automation Tool(AAT) plugins do not work in Release version InDesign CC 2014.2

Hi,
I was glad to notice that there is a black-box testing tool mentioned in the InDesign CC SDK. But i tried many times in my environment, the plugins cannot be loaded successfully.
I followed the steps in the documentation from SDK, copied shared libraries, plugins and qa folder to required locations. But when i launch release version of InDesign CC, it pops up messages as following for some plugins.
I tried on Win32 version, Win64 version and Mac version. The InDesign CC version is 2014.2, and i also tried the 10.0 SDK and 10.2 SDK. The message is the same.
Did i miss anything to make it work?
Thanks.

I found that on Windows, the (XXX Resources)/XXX/ are all empty, on Mac, XXX.InDesignPlugin/Resources and XXX.InDesignPlugin/Versions are empty too.
I'm not sure either the AAT plugins are not supported anymore in InDesign CC 2014 or they are supported but not included correctly in SDK.
So bad. BTW, i found there are many typo and format issues in the sdk documentation of InDesign CC2014. It looks like not professional enough. On Windows, the search function in html format documentation is not as good as before in CS6 with chm.

InDesign CC 2014 tool palette missing

Mac Book Pro with 6 g ram and 2.4 i5 core OSX 10.9.5 - I recently installed Indesign CC 2014 from our team creative cloud and can open files but cannont edit since there are no tools available. no palettes! I unistalled all iterations of ID and reinstalled ID 2014 with the same results I also installed without saving any preferences. I also tried changing work spaces as well as short cuts with to tools.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The most obvious question is have you tried Window > Tools?
If trashing the prefs doesn't work (see Replace Your Preferences), then uninstall again, but this time run the cleaner tool before you reinstall: CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3

Folio overlay tools inside InDesign not showing in 2014.1 update

Folio overlay tools inside InDesign not showing in 2014.1 update.
I've had this issue before with past updates. Has this issue been logged?

I've just update OS X - 10.9.5 and that has fixed the issue.
The folio overlays tab was empty but it's fine now, sorry for the question earlier. I probably should have updated the OS first

Trouble updating InDesign CC 2014 so I can use DPS tools.

I am trying to update InDesign CC 2014 so I can use DPS tools. But "updates" is grayed out. I noticed that CC desktop says InDesign is up to date. Any suggestions?

You could try renaming your AdobeUpdateAdminPrefs.dat file. It looks like Adobe CS6 and CC have an automatic update mechanism that can sometimes prevent users from seeing available updates.
- Locate the file:
Mac OS
<Startup Disk>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AAMUpdaterInventory/1.0/AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat
Windows 7.0 and Higher (32 bit)
C:\Program files\common files\adobe\AAMUpdaterInventory\1.0\AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat
Windows 7.0 and higher (64 bit)
C:\Program files(x86)\common files\adobe\AAMUpdaterInventory\1.0\AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat
- Try renaming the file, such as AdobeUpdateAdminPrefs-old.dat
- Restart InDesign
- See if the update is now available
Here are a few links for reference:

Used the 64bit version before CC 2014 as well so don't think that's the issue. Here is the text in the .mxi file if I have missed something:

Adobe InDesign CC 2014 has stopped working

So...I am trying to help our Marketing Manager with some problems with Adobe InDesign CC 2014. On startup of the program, more often than not it comes up with:
Adobe InDesign CC 2014 has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
Windows doesn't do anything.
We have tried refreshing the preference folders as dictated by other members. No joy. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the whole Adobe suite (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator).
On occasion, InDesign does start up and there is a problem with text boxes. When a text box is moved or resized, copied, the text in the box disappears. It will only return if you select the text tool and hover over the box. It is not to do with snapping to grid lines, etc.
Can someone please advise on what we should do?

Extensions not showing at all - Indesign CC 2014 - but shows in Photoshop and illustrator

Hi Hallgrimur Bjornsson,
Extensions not showing at all in Indesign CC 2014 (see screenshot) - but are showing in Photoshop and illustrator
Have tried to remove ExMan.db file and restart Extension Manager (v. 7.3.2.39).
After install, the extension correctly shows in
~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions
In CC folder - there's one extension (Adobe Mini Bridge)
~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEPServiceManager4/extensions
Have tried to uninstall and reinstall InDesign CC 2014.
There is only CC 2014 version of the applications installed.

Is Extensions available as a menu item under Edit > Menus...
If it is, is it marked as visible?
If it is not, uninstall, run the cleaner tool (CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3 ) and reinstall.

I have worked out the answer. Thank you Peter for your input.
Mac 10.10.1 Yosemite and Creative Cloud CC 2014
1. Whilst logged into Creative Cloud, I uninstalled all Creative Cloud applictions.
2. Logged out of Creative Cloud.
3. Downloaded the Creatve Cloud Cleaner Tool and ran it.
4. Rebooted.
5. Checked all library files to make sure nothing of Adobe was left (search Adobe is a good idea).
6. Re-ran the Creative Cloud installer.
7. Logged in and checked Creative Cloud preferences including install language and folder. NOTE for Australia it should be ENGLISH INTERNATIONAL not North America.
8. Installed all the Applications that I use.
9. Tested Indesign - absolutely fine.
10. Rebooted and tested again. All good.
I took these screen prints to show how the install folders are now different on Yosemite 10.10.1 compared to previous installs.
Hope this helps someone. Cheers.

InDesign CC 2014 Will Not Launch

I am running Windows 8.1, and I have been trying to get InDesign CC 2014 to work all night. I looked up on these forums possible solutions, but they either do not work, or do not apply. When I attempt to delete preferences to make it work, the folder is empty and has nothing to delete. I also ran the Cleaner tool, but when I check the report, it says it failed. I am at a loss. Does anyone have other solutions?

The problem here is the installer failed to set the permissions on the preference folders, so ID cannot write them (which is why they aren't there). Find the two Adobe folders under Appdata/local and appdata/roaming and set both System and your user to full control for the folder and subfolders.

InDesign CC 2014 Corrupt? Chat not working right now. HELP!

Just spent two hours on the phone with Apple to learn that my problem is probably a corrupt InDesign CC 2014. Cannot open any saved InDesign file. Tried going back through Time Machine to open an earlier version of the file I MUST DELIVER TOMORROW and I cannot open it or any closed InDesign file. NEED HELP FAST! I work on an iMac Desktop.
Barbara Olsher

If you do have a corrupt program, the only cure I know is to uninstall and reinstall
Uninstall... run the Cleaner... Restart your computer... Reinstall
-using the cleaner after uninstalling and before reinstalling
-http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html (and uninstall)
-http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
Also... based on reading MANY messages, Mac time machine and migration do not work with Adobe programs due to problems with the registration process

New Adobe InDesign CC (2014) crashes continuously after installation, shows spinning wheel. Have re-installed 3 times now, same thing.

We had to install the new InDesign CC (2014). InDesign CC (2014) crashes continuously. We have un-installed the app twice and re-installed again.
We have tried to install the previous version of InDesign CC but that is no longer (conveniently for you, nightmare for us) available.
Everytime we launch the new InDesign CC (2014) to actually do some work, this crashes. It has cost us 4 hours work since this morning!
This seems to be an issue a lot of people are having.
An update for any app should happen without any glitsches, otherwise your product is not fit for purpose.
We are all paying monthly fees to Adobe to be able to do our day-to-day work.
For that we expect to be able to use these tools without loosing time and money every time you are updating software.

Thanks Mylenium

OS X 10.9.2, OS X 10.9.3, OS X 10.8.5
We were not able to get any crash reports - that option not available; the spinning wheel was coming on and off, but nothing would happen and nothing could be done, but re-start machines.
Have cleared prefs files since, this a few times. Based on suggestions found from others having the same problems.
After clearing prefs files, worked awhile , then the same happened.
Hope this helps.
