Failure to update and now launch InDesign CC 2014

Yesterday I updated all Adobe CC applications on all iMacs in my institution's labs. On each iMac, the InDesign update was the only one to fail. The error code gives no technical reason and the only solution is to reinstall the program. This is not a viable option for a enterprise user. Now, whenever a user tries to launch InDesign CC 2014, it fails with a message saying it needs a newer version of the Dynamic Documents plug in (1.0 or newer). Is think linked to the update fail? It must be because before InDesign was working fine.

Unable to launch InDesign CC

I have just installed Creative Cloud on my MacBook Pro laptop, which is running Mavericks Version 10.9.2. When I try to launch ID, I get "Error: Unable to launch Adobe InDesign as you do not have sufficient permissions to access the preferences folders. Ensure that you have appropriate permissions and then restart Adobe InDesign."
I have tried repairing my permissions and resetting the ID preferences so far. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated!!

Same problem here (Mac OS 10.9.3; InD CC 2014 install) - this is the 3rd CC install (2014 this time) of InDesign I've done and had this issue. It's absolutely ridiculous for a software install to screw up the permissions - if the permissions are right enough to permit the installation, how can they be bad when it comes to running the application?
Plus, this time I've been unable to fix the problem (prior fix was to methodically compare the permissions from a previous, successful version of InDesign, and change the current install to match).
I can't believe I'm paying Adobe a monthly fee for this kind of aggravation.
UPDATE
OK, for the sake of future victims (on a Mac), here's the fix that worked for me:
Navigate to each of the following folders, change the name of the "Version X.X" folder to "oldVersion X.X" (where X.X is the current version number), then start InDesign. That should force creation of replacement folders with corrected permissions. You can then trash the "oldVersion" folders (you'll need administrator privileges to do all this)
/Users/(your user name)/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign
/Users/(your user name)/Library/Caches/Adobe InDesign
Good luck.

Launching InDesign CC 2014 with documents already open

How can I set up InDesign CC 2014 so that it launches with the documents and library that I was working with when I shut it down, already open?
InDesign CS6 used to do this and I assumed it was automatic, with CC 2014 I have to reopen everything.

Just to respond again, it's not actually the OS thing from what I can see - I hadn't changed any settings from before I upgraded to CC from CS.
I've looked at the Restart/Log-out tick option - it's not a case of restarting the machine and having the apps relaunch.
It's just that I want the app to reopen the docs that I was working on when I closed it last.
Thanks again for your suggestions.

InDesign may be a better place to ask... and check your permissions

Unable to Launch Photoshop CC 2014 from Dreamweaver CC 2014!

Although I still have DWCC and DWCS6 still on my PC - and the roundtrip editing from within Dreamweaver works flawlessly - it does not work with DWCC2014 when trying to get PSCC2014 to open an image for editing.
All I see is an error message stating:
'Unable to launch - please be sure this application exists and that there is enough memory to run it.'
Has this roundtrip feature been removed in DWCC2014? If so, why?
It works perfectly well on the same PC with earlier versions - but I would like to remove the two earlier versions to free up space.

Launching Indesign cc 2014 on mac I have an Error speaking about the right access to the preferences folder

My user is an Administrator and I can run all the other apps I use (Ps, Lightroom, Illustrator)
Only Indesign can't start.
I uninstalled it and installed it again. Nothing changed.
I try a translation of the error message:

Unable to Launch Indesign. Insufficient permissions....

Hello, So I am on OS Mavericks and I'm using the Creative Cloud programs (Illustrator, photoshop, Indesign, Acrobat) Indesign froze up and I had to force quit. It never relaunched give me the aobe error. When I clicked OK I get "Indesign is shutting down. A serious error was detected...) I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Indesign 3 times. Still get the same messages. I have a laptop which uses the CC programs just fine. HELP!

See Replace Your Preferences to find the paths to the TWO hidden folders where ID stores the preferences in your user library. If you don't know how to show hidden files and folders, see Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 Lion
Check to see if the folders are there and also check to be sure you have full read and write permission for them, as well as the parent folders.
Since you force quit, there's a good chance there is damaged recovery data as well that could keep ID from restarting. The InDesign Recovery folder should be in the same path as InDesign SavedData and you should empty it.

InDesign CC 2014 settings won't sync

I downloaded InDesign CC 2014 and was excited about the new sync settings feature that would allow all my InDesign CC settings to automatically move over to the new version. Unfortunately, I failed to first upload (sync) the settings from InDesign CC before launching InDesign CC 2014. As such, CC 2014 didn't detect any settings that needed to be synced during the initial launch. I've tried syncing the settings from my old InDesign CC app but InDesign CC 2014 refuses to sync. How can I force ID CC 2014 to sync? What are the steps?

Hi Bouche,
You can force InDesign CC 2014 to sync the previous version settings from

Unable to launch File sync and to update Adobe Exchange panel in Illustrator CC 2014

I suppose that these two problems might be related, as I need the file sync to sync the extensions?
Anyway, I’m unable to launch a file sync, and when I update the Adobe Exchange panel in Illustrator, it asks for a reboot, and after the reboot, it asks again for an update…
Thanks for the help!

I've since received information of a workaround - listed in a different thread: Unable to install non-standard updates - Cannot launch/update Adobe Digital Publishing for InDesign CC 2014
Try the following to enable updates:
1) Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\AAMUpdaterInventory\1.0 and you will find a .dat file ( AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat).
2) Please open the file in question and you will find a line item : <Suppressed>1</Suppressed> .
3) Please change the Value from 1 to 0 and save the file back in the same location.
On a Mac, essentially the same, however location: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/AAMUpdaterInventory/1.0/AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat
I was given further advice that DPS toolkit updates are not available when you create the deployment package from Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Edition on Mac OS. (I believe this may be the same using Creative Cloud Packager as you've found)
Deployment DPS Toolkit Update| AAMEE |Mac OS
The above article suggests that you can download and install the DPS update silently, however, an end user must be logged into computer - not really feasible for enterprise environments.
So I guess the process for this would be:
1)Copy the contents of the DPS update package to remote machine
2)Enable updates by modifying the AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat file
3)Remotely launch the DPS update silently (when someone is logged onto machine)
4)Disable updates again when complete...
