Same issue. I just bought a new MacBook pro - 13" installed CS6 and I am getting both the same crashes when packaging and when deleting a page. My old Macbook Pro with the the same software versions only difference is the hardware is older is not doing this.

Major issue for me.

After hours on the phone with adobe and some online research... have figured out this is a bug in the software that is conflicting with Lion. I read that all the developers testing Mountain Lion out next month are experiencing similar crashes. One thing I learned as a work around until Adboe or Apple get this resolved is if you hold down the Alt key while you try to delete a page or package a file then it will not happen, but you have to not click the Package all fonts feature when you package or it will still crash. I tested both these issues with CS 5.5 and 6 and the alt key work around works for now.

Clearly - -they need to resolve but in the meantime this might help.

seriously a problem for anyone using InDesign daily like me!

Same probmlen here as well, MacBook Air (June 2012), InDesign 8.0 (CS6) and MacOS X 10.7.4

One of my users has discovered that having an embedded PSD file/image with locked layers was causing trouble. Unlocking the layers allowed him to export to PDF, but clicking on Page Setup in the Print dialog screen still crashes out InDesign. Can anyone else confirm the "locked layers" issue? InDesign still crashes, but at least he can export a PDF to print.

We're having the same problem with one of our users. Macbook Pro (retina/June 2012) crashing in InDesign when delting a page or packaging the file. Any other workarounds until Adobe or Apple fix the issue?

Hi,

same issue here:

Indesign CS4, Version 6.0.6

Brand new MacBook Pro 13 (Summer 2012),

Lion 10.7.4

Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks, D.

Same issue using Indesign (CS6) in the Adobe Creative Cloud.. crashes when deleting pages and whenever the warning box pops up. Freezes and crashes.

I meant to add - i have no problem on my iMac using the same software and indesign files, just on the new Macbook..

Same issue. When deleting a page on Indesign CS6 on my new MacBook Air (2012) crashes.

Can someone at Adobe please help?

Hold down ALT key while deleting a page or packaging a file. It is a workaround for now.

THIS IS UNEXCEPTABLE FOR SUCH AN EXPENSIVE SOFTWARE! SOMEONE AT ADOBE PLEASE PAY ATTENTION.

Thanks, but what exactly do you mean by holding the ALT key? When I clear the text frame holding down the ALT key, the result is exactly the same --> CRASH

When you say "alt" key, do you mean the "option" key?  Or, are you saying that you have to press fn + alt/option?  Please adivse. 

Let me add I've been tweeting at the adobe_care people all week with this issue.  They only replied to me after I started complaining to my followers about not getting a reply.  They said they were "looking into it". 

That doesn't work when making a PDF that isn't high rez.  If I make a PDF that is screen rez, it crashes when the warning dialog appears.

ADOBE PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP.

try exporting a blank page with a line of overset text as a smallest file size pdf and when the typical warning box comes up (which is blank and missing the button too), it just crashes ...

same version of Lion 10.7.4 and CS5 was fine on my 2010 quad 2.93 i7 imac and July 2011 Air .... is this an issue with new line of macbook pro's ? ie. video driver and/or system fonts..??

only other program I installed so far on my new macbook pro was Office home 2011...no other fonts yet installed either..AppleCare cant help..

Thanks for your time in looking into this, I know a lot of us depend on InDesign for daily survival and this is a serious matter.

Suggestion for a possible quick temporary fix, an option to disable all warnings. Maybe that will at least help us all to keep on working for now untill a more solid solution is found. Idea?

After 2 days straight, I FIGURED IT OUT!!!! I was trying everything, especially related to font book and fonts and resetting prefs, etc...

I narrowed it down to 1 constant variable: it's happening on the 2012 macbook's, so I reset my mac and held command + R and re-installed Lion, then I DID NOT INSTALL THE UPDATE FOR THE MACBOOK 2012. Then I tried exporting a smallest file size pdf with overset text and also tried deleting a page with an object on it and BAM! No blank warning dialog and even more importantly: NO MORE CRASHES!!! Hey, I might not lose all my clients afterall!

got the good ol' warning box we all love and missed:

Again:

- power off mac and turn back on while holding down Command + R (dont do it on an external keyboard just to be safe)

- choose the re-install Lion option (I'm sure there is another way to re-install Lion, this is just the way I did it, not saying its the best or only method)

- DO NOT INSTALL MACBOOK (Mid 2012) Software Update 1.0 - THIS SCREWS ADOBE UP!

After you guys try this please let us know how your system is operating, I am noticing my macbook pro is so slow and when trying to send an email and choosing an email to reply to and attach something,etc.. each click triggers the beachball and I gotta wait a few moments..?? I'm sure we might be missing out on some good updates from not updating to the 1.0 software update....but....

So my final question is:

is this Apple's problem or Adobe's and who needs to do what here??? Why can't we all get along...

Hi

Doing the re-install the way I did doesnt even delete all your files and apps, keeps everything in tact and you dont have to re-install all your programs, even had same desktop files, etc..which I did not know Took maybe an hour and a half...not bad...I would have waited 5 if it fixed it!

I did have the update installed and turned off auto graphic switching and still had crashes...didnt help at all..

Also with the update installed,  I had to turn OFF font preview in Photoshop in order to get it to be stable for me..

thanks for continuing to look into this and hopefully Apple puts out a DIFFERENT update for the graphics as its clearly not a good update

Hi Marko,

this is not the solution for everyone. i also re installed lion (osx 10.7.4). didnt install the mid 2012 update and the bug is still there!

id crashes all the time (versions i tested: 5.0, 5.5 and 6) every version crashes.

the only stable release is 3.0 with osx 10.7.4

dont have the 4.0 for testing ...

hi pure&simple,

im using a new macbook pro with retina. and mac osx 10.7.4 . apple is also offering the mid 2012 software update 1.0.

apple told me that there is no possibility to downgrade to 10.7.3 with the new mac books cause 10.7.3 doesnt support the new intel ivy chip...
