Why does InDesign freeze when I open it and run slowly?

I've been having problems with InDesign ever since I got CS5, and it's at the point where I can't even do simple projects. Every time I open InDesign, it freezes. I can't click anything in the program and it won't even minimize or close. The only way to close it is from the Task Manager. Nothing else works. On the rare occasion that it does work (after waiting about five minutes for it to un-freeze), it takes a long time to open any file, even really small ones. When they do open, it freezes for about a minute any time I try to move something, change text, change colors, or pretty much change anything. This is the case even on one-page documents with minimal text and a few images. The only thing that isn't slow is exporting PDFs.
At first I thought that it was just slow when I also had Photoshop open, but that's not the case because it still performs slowly and freezes all the time when the only other program I have open is Outlook.
I really appreciate the help... I can't even do any work right now and I'm running out of time.
Windows 7 Professional
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU
RAM: 4GB
InDesign version 7.0.3
Let me know if you need to know any more specs... I apologize, I really have no idea what you need to know.
Thank you so much!!!

The DPI is at the default setting, so that's not it. I'm going to disable Aero and see if that works, but its hard to tell right away because sometimes it does work. I don't know if that could really be causing it though because it's not just clicking that's not working. It's bascially like the InDesign interface becomes my desktop background. It doesn't close or minimize and I can't interact with it at all.
I will see how it behaves today with Aero disabled. Thank you for the tip!

Why does Indesign freeze when I do small tasks

I try to add a stroke or change the fill to a specific object within a specific document in Indesign and it always freezes. I had the trial version and I have just bought the creative cloud suite. This was never an issue when I had the trial version and no extra downloading was needed when I paid for the yearly subscription. Indesign also became very slow and a few background changes in my Indesign documents suddenly changed when I bought the software. All I have installed on my computer from cc is Indesign, Photoshop and Illustrator. This is no different than when I had the trial version. Whats happening?

Does it just freeze for a moment or longer? If only moment, then it might be caused by Preflight being activated. Preflight checks the whole document with every change you do.
While editing it is recommended to switch off preflight.

Why does Quicktime freeze when opening .movs?

For the past few months, I have experienced intermittent screen "blackouts"; essentially the screen goes black as if the computer has gone into sleep mode (while still working in a given program) but there is nothing I can do but a hard shutdown to exit this state. Recently, both Quicktime and VLC have stopped working properly; I've discovered that Quicktime will open .AVI files, but freezes when opening .mov files. VLC will open neither. Both programs work fine when working with audio files. I have updated my mac's graphic drivers (to the best of my knowledge) and have worked around various preferences (open GL video output in VLC for instance) to no avail. My only remaining theory is a corrupt .mov codec file, or a compounding issue stemming from the initial screen blackouts (which I've discovered could be an actual hardware problem with mac pros sold around 2010..), but I feel it's time to outsource for some new solutions. I'm still running Snow Leopard 10.6.8; 2.66 GHz Intel core i7; 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3; MacBook Pro from 2010. Any help with this issue is greatly appreciated, as I've researched for hours and have yet to find a solution or even a potential cause for these issues.

Why does iPad freeze when I try to publish a video to YouTube?

When I try to upload a video to youtube from my iPad, the screen freezes when I tap "publish." After several minutes, the YouTube dialog box finally disappears and the preview screen of the video appears with a "Publishing to YouTube" progress bar at the bottom. But the bar never advances and the video never gets published. Does anyone know how to fix? Never had a problem before upgrading to IOS 7.
Why did Apple screw up what was a perfectly easy way to upload videos?

First, try a reset: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.

Since upgrading to Lion why does Safari freeze when using an email link?

I have a 21.5 in iMac (purchased late 2009). Ever since I upgraded to Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 I have had problems opening links from my email. Safari is my default browser, and now I when I open a link from my Mail, the browser functions do not respond. The page freezes and does not allow me to scroll at all, nor will any of the links work for me to click on what should be an active link. When I open a new browser page, it is fine--whether Safari, Firefox or Chrome. It's just when I open from Mail.
Anyone else reporting this, and is there something I need to change to make it work? I'm not very technical with the Apple products...thanks!

Thanks again but I have no peripheral devices connected. It's very annoying whenever I close the lid the logo stays lit and the computer does not go to sleep (light on front stays solid white). Each time it happens I have to open and close the lid 3-4 times before it finally goes to sleep. It's as if the computer gets hung up trying to go to sleep.

Why does quiktime freeze when i try to play video?

I just reformatted my computer and reinstalled windows xp pro...before i had no problem with itunes or quicktime...but now whenever i try to play video through itunes it will freeze and i have to ctrlaltdelete and then cancel...then itunes will close down...when i try to open a video through quicktime the program freezes so i do the ctrlaltdelete then cancel and this time quicktime will play audio but no video...PLEASE HELP!!! i am going crazy, all drivers are installed and updated, i tried to repair and reinstall itunes and quicktime with no success

I would take a look at the video card driver. The lastest driver for a video card doesn't always mean it is going to be the best one for it or even work without causing problems.
Example, recently when going to microsoft's OS updates, there were a few updates needed, most security related, one was for the secondary monitor's video card. Well after they were installed, the computer would keep re-starting on its own.
Well the last change made was updating the video card driver. So I rolled it back in Device Manager, and that solved the problem. This is why I think it is foolish to have a windows computer setup to automatically update.
The problem your having is difficult to diagnose, more than likely a driver issue. It is not QT because that is only a program.
Hardware not configured properly will definately cause a freeze when playing mulimedia. Mostly if the jumpers are not setup correctly with master/slave for drives and in the BIOS.
Why was the OS XP pro reinstalled?

Why does screen freezes when I attempt to play certain songs in my library

Why does my screen Freeze when I attempt to play certain songs I have downloaded from CDs into my library?
I have just received my Nano and I'm unsure if I want this to keep happening

Apple removed my previous post because I referenced jailbreaking which is a violation of the TOS. Sorry about that!
That said, I can't think of any way to get around the file size limitation. I suppose itunes match isn't really meant to give you access to play all your songs anywhere. It instead gives you the opportunity to download your songs via wifi when you aren't at home. I can't see that it makes any difference one way or the other to Apple but it obvioiusly would make a difference to the wireless provider.
So now, my question is whether this happens on with all carriers. I have experienced this on AT&T. Does anyone here have Verizon or Sprint?

Why does Safari freeze when the cursor hovers across "Bookmarks"?

Safari v 4.1
Hi,
When I move the cursor over "Bookmarks" in the menu at the very top of the window, Safari freezes for about 5 minutes. It can also freeze when the cursor is simply passing under the "Bookmarks". When I'm moving the cursor horizontally across the entire screen, I have to keep the cursor well below the top menu bar to avoid freezing Safari. Otherwise Safari is working OK. I often Force Quit" Safari when this happens, but if I wait, it will unfreeze.
This is all about hovering, not clicking.
Any suggestions as to why this is happening and how to fix it.
Thanks, Rafael

Hi Carolyn.
First, about resetting. I've never done it before, and I recall hearing—but have no direct experience—that it practically wipes the slate clean. I've built a very sophisticated Bookmarks Bar and Bookmarks Menu, and because I'm a researcher, I never erase history. When I started using Safari a long time ago, I was told by Apple to regularly erase history. Then a couple of years ago I was told by someone I trust that it's OK to keep it.
I regularly empty Cache and remove cookies.
Are these the top 5 buttons?:
1 Clear history
2 Reset Top Sites
3 Remove all webpage preview images
4 Empty the cache
5 Clear the Downloads window
I got this list from Safari Help>Resetting Safari. I'm using Safari 4.1, but I noticed that this help page referred to Safari 5 in the 'Reset Top Sites' explanation: "Reset Top Sites: … Top Sites page reverts to showing the webpage previews displayed when you first installed Safari 5."
As for the rest:
2 Reset Top Sites—I’ve never made use of this
3 Remove all webpage preview images—not familiar or I don’t recognize what it is.
4 Empty the cache—Fine with that
5 Clear the Downloads—window Fine with that
I’m letting you know about these details before I proceed with your instructions.
Thanks for responding,
Rafael
PS Since I'm asking about Bookmarks here, I've been meaning to find out something about my Safari Bookmarks.html that is exported, then backed up to one of my external HDs. If Safari or my computer crashes, and I re-install Safari, then import those bookmarks, are they re-created to look just as they do now in 'Show All Bookmarks'?
I have some old bookmarks (or 'Favorites' I think they were called) that, when imported (in an html format?), appeared as a long list, rather than as a neatly tiered record of folders and files.

Why does Firefox start when I open Dreamweaver after I unstalled Firefox

I uninstalled Firefox, yet when I open Dreamweaver Firefox loads immediately. Why?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== After installing Firefox ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_3; en-us) AppleWebKit/533.16 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0 Safari/533.16

I completely uninstalled the printer and drivers and restarted the computer. I then uninstalled and then reinstalled Firefox 7.0.1, restarted the computer and then reinstalled the printer (from the previously downloaded exe file, because I don't have the CD for the printer). Unfortunately, neither of those things worked, but I did notice that when I uninstalled Firefox, it asked if I wanted to save settings, and I said yes and it seemed to remember the Dell 720 printer in the "about:config" menu. So, maybe uninstalling Firefox without saving settings would make a difference. What do you think? Also, I just noticed in the "Add or Remove Programs" menu in control panel that the icon next to "Dell Photo Printer 720" is a little recycle bin, which seems a bit odd. On the dell.com forum, someone suggested using Firefox 5.0.1, available at a different website. Is this worth a shot or are there other more conservative troubleshooting suggestions to try first?

Why does TB freeze when I click account settings? (Going from Bad to Worse!)

A few days ago I posted a question about migrating backup emails in TB. I got some help, but not a definitive answer to my problems. Unfortunately, my wife and I seem to have created an additional problem which has to be resolved before we go back to the file migrating issue. TB now freezes when I attempt to check an account's settings. This may have been caused by our attempt to copy an old email folder (an .sbd file), into my current profile. This is how it went:
We copied one backed up .sbd folder to
C:\Users\FF\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\pnp8j2nf.default\Mail\Local Folders
We saw no changes in TB.
Then, in TB, we created a folder under Local Folders, giving it the same name as the .sbd we had copied. The contents then became visible in TB.
When I tried to check an account's Settings, TB froze. Restarting TB didn't help. Then we tried to backtrack our previous steps by deleting the newly created folder in TB and the .sbd file in Local Folders. I have rebooted TB and PC, but TB still freezes when we try to check Account Settings.
Thinking that we might have corrupted the Profile, we also re-named the 8 character Profiles .default under C:\Users\FrankF\AppData\Local\Thunderbird\Profiles and C:\Users\FrankF\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles, hoping TB would generate a new Profile, but now TB will not start without the profile.
We are wondering if we should delete profiles.ini or delete its contents to force TB to create a new profile. Any advice on what is causing the freeze and how to correct it? Thanks in advance.

Maybe you could still use the Mozbackup tool if you have all your original profile folders and files, the ones you backed up.
[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/moving-thunderbird-data-to-a-new-computer#w_mozbackup MozBackup]
Make sure the profile you want backed up by MozBackup is at at "C:\Users\"YourUserName"\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird".
Then all you'd need is to remove (keep a backup though) that profile currently at "C:\Users\"YourUserName"\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird".
Then uninstall and reinstall Thunderbird.
Finally, use MozBackup to restore your backed up profile.

Why does Firefox crash when I open Adobe, Firefox & all plug ins including Adobe are up to date and current, WHY?

Firefox crashes when I open Adobe (pdf) ALL plug ins are up to date as is FF

This is a known issue with Adobe Reader, and it depends on Adobe updating their plugin.
Whilst you're waiting for Adobe to fix their plugin, you can disable it and fallback to the default PDF reader in Firefox by following these steps:
#Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
#In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
#In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
#On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.

Why does cs6 freeze when i try to open a psd file?

I have two files that will not open, the program just freezes and i have to control alt delete out. how can i open this file?

These file may be corrupt if Photoshop CS6 works otherwise. If you upload them to a file sharing server and post a link to them I will download them and see if I can open them in the versions of Photoshop I have installed on my machines.
