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.

  • 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 unable to launch

    Hi,
    i'm using CS5 design standard under volume license.
    The OS is windows 7 x64.
    I'd successfully installed the suite.
    However, InDesign is unable to launch despite photoshop,illustrator etc working perfectly fine.
    I tried reinstalling the whole suite,reinstalling just the InDesign, disabling all startup programs and restarting but none of these solutions worked...
    I also called the hotline,but was asked to pay US$39 before they can help me.
    Looking for any advice available.
    Thank you so much for taking the time to read.

    Sorry about the lack of information.
    Product:
    Adobe CS5 Design Standard
    under volume license.
    System specs:
    Hp Z400 workstation
    Intel Xeron(R) W3505 2.53GHz
    3GB RAM
    Windows 7 Professional x64
    Problem:
    After successful installation, InDesign's icon(both the icon in the start menu and the .exe found in program files\adobe) failed to appear.
    Upon double-clicking(both original .exe or the shortcut), nothing happens or appears.
    No splash screen or error messages etc.
    However, using task manager, an InDesign.exe can be seen using 50% CPU in the Processes tab,yet nothing appears in the Applications tab.
    All other programs such as photoshop, photoshop x64, illustrator etc worked perfectly fine(no problem with their icons too).
    Attempted solutions(didnt work):
    -uninstalling the whole existing CS5 and reinstalling again.
    -uninstalling just the InDesign portion and reinstalling again.

  • How do I resolve this with InDesign CC?"Unable to launch Adobe InDesign as you may not have sufficient permission to access the preferences folders. Try deleting the perferences folders and then restart Adobe Indesign"

    This message pops up when I try to launch InDesign CC.
    I tried deleting preferences by pressing CTRL-SHIFT-ALT,
    and deleted preferences from there but the same problem still occurs.
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but problem still here... can anybody help me
    Tech support directed me to Configuration error 16 | CC, CS, but I wasn't able to find "Adobe PCD" folder. So I'm stuck. Please help!

    It's a permissions problem on two folders in your user Library on Mac, or in your User Profile on PC.
    I believe renaming the InDesign folders in the two locations will cause them to be re-written correctly when you relaunch. For the locations, (which are HIDDEN folders) see Replace Your Preferences
    You must show hidden files and folders to see them.

  • Constant crash on launch (Unable to open InDesign)

    I recently had an error in InDesign which forced it to crash. Now I can not open it anymore without it crashing during load-up.
    I had one document open when I accidently closed the document with (cmd + w). Wanting to re-open it I got an error saying I did not have permission to open the document as it may be used by another application. I then proceded to try to quit ID which caused it to become unresponsive. Following this I force quit indesign.
    Since then I have been unable to open InDesign at all. It always crashes during the loading screen.
    I have tried uninstalling it (also removing preferences) and reinstalling (via Application Manager) to no success.
    This is using InDesign CS6 (Creative Cloud) on OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion
    Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated.
    Crash Report: https://gist.github.com/ddfae3a26db382e49475

    You may actaully have two different problems going on at once here.
    Because you crashed with a file open the .idlk (lock) file is probably still in the directory where the file is located, and that would prevent anyone from opening the .indd and would throw the error mesage you saw.
    The second problem is that the crash may also have corrupted the data in the recovery folder so ID crashes again every time it starts up and tries to recover the file you had open. Locate and empty or rename your InDesign Recovery folder, then try to restart ID.

  • 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...

  • Unable to launch firefox above 3.0 after upgrade attempt

    I had firefox 3.0. I tried upgrading when 3.2 came out and was unable to launch firefox after that. For each subsequent revision, I tried to upgrade but always had same problem. It does not give any error message. It just refuses to launch.So I just stopped trying to upgrade and kept using the 3.0. I use an EeePC mini notebook with XP home edition. It functions well with the other browser which I don't like to use. Any suggestion?

    Hello Dieter,
    We have used fully qualified domain name as the server name and all the services have been activated using SIAC_PUBLISH_ALL_INT.
    The notes 808347 and 816973 have already been checked through.The browser prob i have implemented but to no help. Is  there any parameter to be set in the profile parameter maintenance for SNC, I am not sure; its just a wild guess..we are not using portal as of now.
    Thanks For Your Help,
