InDesign has Issues.
Photoshop appears to be OK but a re-installation may be necessary. Run the CS Cleaner Tools below and PS uninstaller before attempting to re-install PS CS4.

InDesign CS4 crash under Lion

I migrated InDesign CS4 V. 6.0.6 to a newly purchased MacBookPro with Mac OS X V. 10.7.2.
On opening InDesign it crashes reliably. Found a discussion site that suggest that the SING folder
in System Library is the problem. That is true!
More specifically, within the SING folder is a Mark II folder
that contains 3 items. The offending item is the SINGCore.bundle.
When I move the SINGCore.bundle into the trash InDesign will load. Initially I got a message pointing to
Hyphenation issues.
My questions:
(1) What am I missing by deleting the SINGCore.bundle and does it affect older saved documents upon opening them?
(2) When can users expect Adobe to fix this apparently prevalent problem under the Lion operating system?

SeaWolf WD for you question about the SINGCore.bundle I would recommend posting in the InDesign forum. Have you tried removing InDesign though and then trying a fresh install from the installation media? Often times users who try to migrate the Adobe applications to a new computer end up facing all kinds of different difficulties. A clean install of the application will typically resolve the issue.

InDesign CS4 will not run under Lion

I have InDesign CS4 and Design Suite CS3. All my other CS3 apps run under Lion. The Upgrade to Lion failed leaving my internal unbootable, so I installed and migrated to an external drive. But after the upgrade to Lion all of the other CS 3 aps run, IDCS4 will not run. I get the following message:
Adobe InDesign is missing required system fonts or CMap files. Please reinstall InDesign.
I used the uninstaller and reinstalled. No affect. I made the Library folder visible. No effect. I cant

There is a very long list of incompatibilities with Lion:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/905/cpsid_90508.html
I'm sure there are many more that are unknown.
FWIW, I highly recommend sticking with Snow Leopard for now and when you do upgrade, do so as a clean install.
John will be along soon to tell you to ignore the man behind the curtain.

You can't open the application "Adobe InDesign CS4" because it is not supported on this architecture"

A day or two ago I went through installing Adobe InDesign CS4 on Leopard OS X.5.8. After what appears to be a successful installati
on, in launching InDesign CS4 the message " You can't open the application "Adobe InDesign CS4" because it is not supported on this
architecture" comes up". Calling in to support and speaking with the agent who read through previous posts, suggested to me that I
should try the same fix that has been suggested when I ran across an error when installing Adobe InDesign CS4 on another separate ha
rd drive externally connected to this computer running Snow Leopard OS X.6.1 for the error reading: "Damaged &/or incomplete install
ation" when launching afterwards. The support technician told me to first delete with the uninstall Adobe InDesign CS4, InDesign.
Following this I am told to run the CS4 Cleanup Utility. I restart the computer each and every time after running each of the utili
ties. Now I am told to install InDesign as a trial version from the DVD and after installation to go ahead & enter the serial numbe
r. When launching InDesign CS4 after installation got back the same error as before: "You can't open the application "Adobe InDesig
n CS4" because it is not supported on this architecture" comes up". Followed KB404711 article and no success. What else can be don
e to fix this issue?
This morning contacted Adobe Support regarding this response:
After having a detailed reserach on your issue i acme to the conclusion
that the problem you are having is not related to Adobe software but its
in fact related to your MAC version ( OSX-5.8). While reseraching your
issue i came across
to many forums where a lot of postings were about the similar error but
with different products the only comon thing was all the Errors were
with Mac machine , also when you check the system requirements for
Adobe Indesign Cs4
by going to the following link
http://www.adobe.com/products/indesign/systemreqs/?promoid=DRHXE you
will find the Mac OS version supported are from Mac OS X
v10.4.11–10.5.4. but we do support Snow Leoprad , so i would like
to advise to you to either contact your system manufacturer or upgrade
to Snow Leopard ( mac os x 10.6)
I have been told that my case is being sent to Level 2 agents and that it can take 24-48 hours for a response. In the meantime I decided to see what the Support Forums can do for me. Until then I am down. Thanks for the help.

In the application folder there is a folder 'Adobe InDesign CS4' within which there is just the application file. I would expect there should be more file there??
I've un-installed and installed again - still the same.
Even downloaded the dmg again and done thwe whole thing over again.

I can't open *.indd files in Adobe InDesign CS4

I've just installed the trial version of Adobe Indesign CS4 and I cannot open my *.indd files which contain my business brochures etc.
How can they be opened?
Operating system: Windows XP pro SP3.
Processor: Intel E8400, Gigabyte P35 Chipset with 4Gb RAM.
Thank you for your help.
Tim

Hi, I've tried double clicking as one would normally do and I get the error message:
Cannot open "filename.indd"
The files were created in Adobe InDesign by a company that specialises in brochure design and they kindly gave me the files they originally created (to be printed by a professional printer) so that I could make some minor modifications (for the next run from the professional printer), using my trial copy of Adobe InDesign.
I know that this company uses a Mac operating system but I don't know which version of InDesign they use. I shall ask them if this is relevant (which I guess it will be!).

CS4 "You cannot open the application Adobe InDesign CS4 because it is not supported on this archit

Just installed CS4. Ai and Ps open fine. i get this prompt with InDesign.
You cannot open the application Adobe InDesign CS4 because it is not supported on this architecture.
any clues on how resolve this?
thanks!

I'm having exactly the same problem with InDesign from CS4 Design Standard (Photoshop and Illustrator both work), and I don't know what to do. I've called up the Adobe support line five times, and received five different answers, none of which have worked (and on three other occasions, my call was dropped, once after an hour on hold).
One of the Adobe tech support people said to me "None of CS4 works with either 10.5.8 or Snow Leopard. We will issue a patch for that soon" - which directly contradicts what Adobe itself says on this site. I also went to see a Mac Genius, who couldn't help either.
I have a 2GHz Macbook with 2GB RAM running 10.5.8. I've run the uninstall, and the Adobe Clean Script, I've repaired permissions on my drive (which isn't case sensitive), restarted, reinstalled, tried installing on an external drive and then tried downloading the trial, in case it's the install CD - nothing works.
Any suggestions, anyone? Might there be a problem with my library that is stopping the install? Something else?? I bought CS4 for InDesign primarily, this is not good.

Will adobe creative suite run on macbook air?

will adobe creative suite run on macbook air?

Do NOT get any MacBook 2012 models if you use Adobe CS4, 5, 5.5 or 6. All models are crashing on any dialog box popup's, i.e. they are nearly unusable for work, unless you like saving every 30 seconds. They do restart Indesign very fast after it crashes... Apple has made no comment on what seems to be an obvious video card driver issue in OS X 10.7.4 on the new 2012 models. There are a number of other video related issues as well, but the show stopper for us is the Indesign incompatibility. Google "fixed" the Chrome problems by removing the 3D accelerator calls thereby slowing down Chrome on these models.

Adobe InDesign CS4 Debug WIN Installation

I need to port an InDesign CS3 plugin to InDesign CS4. In order to do that I've installed the Adobe InDesign CS4 Debug WIN but when I'm trying to start the application I receive the following error message in German: "Diese Anwendung konnte nicht gestartet werden, weil die Anwendungskonfiguration nicht korrekt ist. Zur Problembehebung sollten Sie die Anwendung neu installieren.". In english this should mean something like "This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Try to reinstall the application.".
The box I've tried installing on has visual studio C++ 2005 SP1 and InDesign CS3 Debug already installed (which works fine). I've looked through the requirements in the "InDesign® CS4 Read Me" and couldn't find anything that I'm missing.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Folks,
ID CS4 Debug and ID CS3 Debug can be installed on the same system. The likely reason that the CS4 version is giving that error is because the CS4 version needs some Visual Studio 2005 SP1 DLLs that aren't installed on the computer.
I believe that there are a couple of ways to fix this. One is to install Visual Studio 2005 SP1 (the recommended setup for CS4 plug-in development). When you install SP1 the DLLs needed by ID CS4 Debug will be installed. The other way, I think, is to not SP1, but install the release version of ID CS4 on your system. I understand that the ID CS4 Release version installer will install the DLLs needed by the debug version.
However, if you use VS2005 (no SP1 installed) for CS4 plug-in development you will not be using the recommended development environment for CS4. But if you install SP1, and you want to develop plug-ins for CS3, you will not be using the recommended development environment for CS3 plug-in development. Go figure.
Please note that once you install VS2005 SP1, any plug-ins that you compile will be looking for the SP1 version of the C/C++ Runtime DLLs when the plug-in is launched. The needed DLLs will be on your development system, so everything will seem fine when you test your CS3 plug-ins on your development computer. But when the plug-in is launched on a machine without the SP1 DLLs installed, the plug-in will not run.
I'm not sure of the best way to deal with this (I'm mainly a Mac guy), but there was a thread here entitled
Visual Studio 2005 SP1 about this issue a while back. This thread was partially deleted due to a forum software problem, and one of the ideas that was mentioned was lost from the message thread. Below are the useful (IMHO) missing messages (sent to me by Dirk Becker), who follows the forum using email.
[Ugh! I told Dirk I would write up a Wiki entry for this, but work happened and I haven't gotten to this yet. :-( ]

MISSING MESSAGES FROM THE THREAD: "[IDCS3 WIN] Visual Studio 2005 SP1"
=========
FROM: Eugenio Andres
Hi Jim,
From your original error message, the problem is most likely with the installation of the C/C++ SP1 runtime DLL on the machine that does not have the compiler. It's not so simple nowadays as copying over the DLLs, because Microsoft invented the side-by-side system, that allows having several versions of the same file on one machine.
Your options are installing the runtime on each machine (a package for that is available from Microsoft Download) or changing your project to the static runtime ("Multithreaded" instead of "Multithreaded DLL"). I always use static linking in plugins with no problems, although Adobe specifies dynamic in their instructions, but you avoid these "DLL hell" problems.

Eugenio Andres - www.ExpertosInformaticos.com

FROM: Jim Birkenseer
Hi Eugenio,
Thanks for the information.
So, are you saying that I simply have to go into my Plug-In's property page in VS2005 SP1 and change the C/C++ Code Generation from Multi-threaded DLL (/MD) to Multi-threaded (/MT) and rebuild the project? What are the downsides of doing this--or are there any?
<...SNIP...>
-- Jim
=========
=========
FROM: Eugenio Andres
Hi Jim,
You're welcome.
Yes, that project change should do it. The difference is that with the "DLL" version, your plugin loads the C/C++ runtime shared library (DLL) at runtime and calls it for any needed functions (like strcpy, malloc, etc.). Without the "DLL", the linker puts the C/C++ runtime code directly into your plugin and you don't need the C/C++ runtime SP1 DLL (the error you're getting is because your plugin required the DLL and it's not found on that machine).
The C++ SP1 runtime shared library is different from the C++ non-SP1 library InDesign uses. In this new Windows "side-by-side" scheme, both can live together.
If you use the exact same C/C++ runtime that Adobe uses, then that library is physically shared and it allows to do some "risky" things as e.g. allocating memory in one module (e.g. InDesign) and freeing it in another (e.g. your plugin). But this is usually not recommended and I don't think Adobe is doing it (but then it's only my impression from the code structure).
Anyhow, from the moment you use the SP1 compiler, you're not sharing the runtime any more with InDesign, so it doesn't matter if you compile "MultiThreaded" instead of "MultiThreaded DLL". The difference between these is the size of the plugin and the easyness of distribution, and without DLL you miss possible "automatic" updates of the C++ runtime DLL (because the C/C++ runtime code is embedded in your plugin), but lately new versions of the C/C++ runtime become "different" DLLs, as you can see, so that's not so relevant any more - or if it's critical, you can always recompile your plugin and redistribute if needed.
You can find a brief description of SP1 in
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/aa718695.aspx
It looks like minor non-breaking changes to me, but one never knows...

Adobe InDesign CS4 + Mathtype, ps2pdf conversion problem

Dear All,
We have typset the pages using the Adobe InDesign CS4 + MathType 6.0 using the Macintosh. We are facing the problem PS to PDF converion, the error message is:
%%[ Error: typecheck; OffendingCommand: makefont ]%%
Stack:
[185.0 0.0 0.0 -185.0 0.0 0.0]
-file-
-mark-
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
The fonts were used on the Math is Euclid Symbol. Whereas, my deliverable product is application file, equations, images and PDF (which converted using their distiller setting). It would be great if any one can suggest how to overcome this problem!
Thanks
Gunasekaran

I don't remember seeing this exact problem, but I've had numerous issues with Indesign CS4 / MathType. (Though it really blew up in CS5, which no longer recognizes the obliqued Symbol font used by MathType, and replaces it with a generic font). Design Science told me that their next update -- which is waiting on the next update to MS Word for Mac, originally due this fall -- would fix the problems, and I wish them much luck.
First, I'd try Exporting to PDF rather than going through a PS file stage. It's generally more reliable.
I'd also clean out the font caches from Indesign CS.
If that doesn't work, examine your computer closely for different versions of the Symbol font. There's probably one in the system library from Apple, one or two in your User library (like the Truetype and Postscript versions that came with MathType), maybe one a gift from Microsoft, and probably one in the Adobe applications folders as well. Unfortunately, they're all slightly different. Conflicts between these may be causing your trouble. Delete or remove all but one, and see if your applications still run -- you probably want to open and save each equation from MathType using the "new" font, then update links in Indesign after each change, so working on a test document with one equation would be best. If one font works, stick with that one.
I'm sincerely hoping that in the next version of MathType we'll be able to use OpenType fonts for the Greek characters -- Symbol has gotten pretty buggy over the years.

Adobe InDesign CS4 Stops Working - Windows 7 Ultimate

I have a new computer with 8g of Ram running Windows 7 Ultimate, with an Intel i7 860 2.8 and everything has been working fine until an hour ago and now everytime I open InDesign and start working on a file, I get the error message that Windows has to close InDesign that it is not working properly.
I went ahead and made sure I had the latest updates, I removed the Preference file, rebooted and I am still having this same problem.
I also get a message when I start InDesign and Illustrator that I have to restart FMCore.exe has been stopped. Please start it form the Windows Control Panel for Universal Type Client and then relaunch Adobe InDesign CS4. I click OK and InDesign opens. I cannot find anywhere to start the FMCore.exe. I think it applies to a Mac computer.
Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated. I may trying reinstalling InDesign CS4 but I am not sure if I should do so.
All the best,
Aleda Downs

Hi Peter:
I think the crash may be related to this file. When I opened another file and moved around InDesign acted fine. It appears that is crashes with this one file that I have been working on all day.
Any suggestions before I do a system restore, as to how to repair a file? The file keeps opening, but when I try to access a menu item or navigate to a different page, that is when I get the error. On the other file, I did everything and not a problem. I think it might be this file.
Any thoughts?
All the best,
Aleda

Adobe Indesign CS4

I am a member of academic staff and purchased (the university purchased it for me - London Metropolitan University, London, England) Adobe Indesign CS4. The serial number is: [deleted by moderator]. I uploaded this software from a disc onto my laptop. I have used it successfully. I now need to transfer this software from my laptop to my main PC (this is NOT any kind of ownership transfer). Can I just copy it via a portable hard-drive? Should I upload the disc software again onto the main PC? Can I do this?
I have transfered the software onto the hard-drive but it will only open if it is pluggged into the original laptop.
I look forward to answers please

NEVER post a serial number.
If you're going to use it on both machines then just install it from the disk. If you're done with laptop, open InDesign and choose help>deactivate.

Adobe InDesign CS4 Printing To 11 x 18 Issues

I am trying to print an 11 x 18 in Adobe InDesign CS4 however, it will print automatically to an 8.5 x 11. I have tried to set the printing preferences but It defaults back to 8.5 x 11. This issue only happens in InDesign and not other Adobe products. My operating system is Windows 7 64-bit and the printer is a Toshiba E-Studio 3530C. Could this be a pnnter driver issue with Adobe InDesign CS4.

Try this: go into the print driver (the "Setup..." button at the bottom of InDesign's print dialog box) and set your custom paper size there. Then, back in the InDesign dialog, set the Paper Size to "Defined By Driver."

Many of my applications won't run under Lion.

I used to run Tiger on a G4 Powerbook and a G4 Quicksilver. Now I have a new iMac running Lion but it does not support my PowerPC apps such as Toast or Popcorn. Also the drivers for many devices such as my printer, scanners and external LaCie HD aren't supported. Replacing everything is going to be expensive - any suggestions for workarounds? I'd also like to hear of any good DVD burning/copying applications that will run under Lion other than Roxio's.

You mentioned LaCie external hard drives - there is no driver needed for an external HD. Plug it in. If it is formatted correctly (which means it needs to be Mac OS extended (Journaled) and GUID Partition scheme (under Options) in order to be bootable on an Intel), there is nothing else you need. You may need to reformat to GUID if you're coming from a PPC. Note: back up your data first because the drive will be wiped,
I've used Toast and updated it - they usually have special update offers if you're coming from an earlier version. As for your printer and other hardware - if it is old but still works, you could keep using it with your old Mac (transfer whatever you want to print over to the old Mac and print from there) or start upgrading.

Missing font makes Adobe InDesign CS4 6.0.4 crash

Hi!
I am having a problem with the latest version of Adobe InDesign CS4 (v 6.0.4).
I opened an old document which contained two missing fonts.
I was able to correct the first one by changing it to an existing font.
But when I tried to correct the second one, the application crashed.
I did this:
1. Opened the document with the missing font (the first font was now already corrected).
2. In the warning dialog window saying a font was missing, I clicked "Find Font".
3. The missing font was called "Helvetica (T1) Bold Narrow". I set it to be replaced by "Helvetica Regular".
4. Then I clicked "Change All".
5. Indesign CS4 crashes.
This is the information about the missing font (note that it says "First Used: na" which is strange):
Filename: <not installed>
Full Name: Helvetica
First Used: NA
Font: Helvetica (T1) Bold Narrow
PostScript Name: Helvetica-Narrow-Bold
Style: Bold Narrow
Type: Type 1
Version:
Restrictions: Unkonwn (Font is missing)
Path: Unknown (Font is missing)
Character Count: 27
Style Count: 0
Styles:
Page: none
Does anyone have a solution, or is this a bug?
Thanks

Hi! Thanks for your answer.
I am using Windows XP (SP3).
I tried to export my INDD file (ID CS4 format) to an INX file.
But that also made InDesign crash (perhaps because of the font thing).
Unfortunately I can't change the missing font of the text because:
* I can't see the text frame that contains the missing font.
* InDesign crashes when using the "Find Font" function.
However, this is not a big problem, I can still work with the file. But I will
always get the annoying warning about the missing font, and I prefer to
have no errors in my INDD files.
