1. Re: InDesign CS5 Crashes with Warning Dialog Box
evilam66 Jun 18, 2012 3:25 PM (in response to arminvit)Same issue with InDesign CS 5.5 Version 7.5.3. Mac OSX Version 10.7.4. MacBook Pro 13in mid 2012. No such issues on my previous MacBook Pro (mid 2009) or my IMAC. Is this somehow connected to the new MacBook Pro? I tried removing folders/files from the user librar area. Did not help. Uninstalled and reinstalled InDesign. Did not help.
Please help.
Thank you.

izmalakoff Jun 18, 2012 5:51 PM (in response to arminvit)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.

izmalakoff Jun 21, 2012 8:39 AM (in response to benjaminmueller_burda)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!

8. Re: InDesign CS5 Crashes with Warning Dialog Box
nortonadv Jun 23, 2012 6:36 PM (in response to muthafusco)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.

9. Re: InDesign CS5 Crashes with Warning Dialog Box
chirrchirr Jun 24, 2012 12:46 PM (in response to benjaminmueller_burda)Yeah, exact same issue as benjaminmueller_burda – mid-June MacBookAir refresh, 10.7.4, latest version of Indesign CS5 – although i can't entirely figure out what triggers the crashes. It seems like the application crashes almost randomly, but definitely whenever i attempt to bring up any dialog box. I have been simply trying to load some print settings that i brought over from my previous computer that i had InDesign installed on.
Seems like a lot of people are having these issues; hope that Adobe is paying notice to that (because i can't afford an upgrade right now!)

11. Re: InDesign CS5 Crashes with Warning Dialog Box
MargaretAMartin Jun 25, 2012 7:57 PM (in response to arminvit)I'm getting a crash any time I try to print from InDesign on my new Retina MacBook Pro. Deets:
InDesign CS5, v7.0.4
OS X 10.7.4
No third-party font-management applications installed.
Macbook Pro (Retina) (June, 2012)
As soon as I select "Print" I get an Apple dialog box, unexpectedly quit. Usually a bout 15 seconds later I get an Adobe dialog box for sending a crash report.
I also cannot export as PDFs without crashing.
The file works fine on my 2009 MacBook Pro running InDesign CS5.

I'm unable to setup any print options. I hope Adobe is able to fix this issue soon. Not being able to print correctly from InDesign defeats the purpose of using it in the first place.

Jason Cupitt Jun 26, 2012 10:35 PM (in response to arminvit)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..

oex12345 Jun 26, 2012 10:32 PM (in response to arminvit)Same issue too... any warning box that appears, if I try to delete pages, re-link images, or make a PDF, or package a file crashes InDesign. Killing my workflow I'm totally frustrated with this! I was on the phone with Adobe for 2 hours today trying to resolve the issue- but nothing fixed yet!

17. Re: InDesign CS5 Crashes with Warning Dialog Box
Marko272 Jun 27, 2012 6:11 AM (in response to arminvit)SAME HERE! Brand new 15" macbook pro (non retina) June 2012, 10.7.4 running the same CS5 I did on my 2010 iMac and 2011 Air and worked perfect on those 2 and now on the latest and greatest macbook pro, InDesign crashes when trying to export a pdf: aka. each time a Warning Dialog box appears!!! and it's strange becuase it's always blank and has no text in the warning box...? the alt-click trick works ONLY on the page deletion, but not on pdf export..cleared font cache, re-installed InDesign, didn't install any other fonts yet, reset the ram's, launched in safe mode, got it tested at the Apple store (they said it was fine and also didn't know why it was happening)...MAJOR REMORSE AND REGRET on this purchase...which is a first for me as I love all things Apple and never had software issues before...
(Side note: Also dealing with a Photoshop CS5 issue where unless I uncheck the font preview box in prefs, I get the spinning beach ball for ever and basically cant even use photoshop...)
Adobe and/or Apple please fix, is this a video driver issue?? how can this happen?

18. Re: InDesign CS5 Crashes with Warning Dialog Box
izmalakoff Jun 27, 2012 6:22 AM (in response to Max Zografos)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.

20. Re: InDesign CS5 Crashes with Warning Dialog Box
Max Zografos Jun 27, 2012 6:32 AM (in response to izmalakoff)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

21. Re: InDesign CS5 Crashes with Warning Dialog Box
izmalakoff Jun 27, 2012 6:36 AM (in response to Max Zografos)I read on another forum of developers that if you hold down the option (Alt) key it prevents the crash. I have tested it on the following commands:
1. Deleting a page - I select the page in the palette. Hold the alt key and then hit tthe trash can. Page will delete and no crash.
2. Packaging a file - I select package a file in the menu. Select Linked graphics, but DO NOT select to collect fonts. Then before I hit ok. I hold down the Alt key, and it works.
3. The work around does not work for exporting PDFs. I have to go use my old laptop to export those.
It is a total pain and unacceptable, but it does work around some of the issues.

22. Re: InDesign CS5 Crashes with Warning Dialog Box
muthafusco Jun 27, 2012 6:49 AM (in response to izmalakoff)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".

24. Re: InDesign CS5 Crashes with Warning Dialog Box
muthafusco Jun 27, 2012 11:46 AM (in response to izmalakoff)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.

25. Re: InDesign CS5 Crashes with Warning Dialog Box
SparcyMarc Jun 27, 2012 1:42 PM (in response to arminvit)Exactly the same issue with CS4.
New MacBook Pro (June 2012 but not the retina version), OSX 10.7.4 and I'm using CS4 (behind the times, I know!)
Briefly flashes the warning box but with no details, then force quits.
Happens when exporting to the "Smallest File Size" PDF profile and when deleting a page (but thanks to izmalakoff for that alt-click workaround)

28. Re: InDesign CS5 Crashes with Warning Dialog Box
Marko272 Jun 27, 2012 3:26 PM (in response to Scott Worthington)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.

32. Re: InDesign CS5 Crashes with Warning Dialog Box
Marko272 Jun 28, 2012 11:32 AM (in response to arminvit)1 person found this helpfulAfter 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...

AllDayDevJun 28, 2012 1:28 PM (in response to Marko272)
Thanks for sharing, Marko. Glad to hear that fixed it for you.
The InDesign team will be testing this out to see what may be going on there, so we can work with Apple to determine how best to fix it.
Has anyone else been able to confirm if they have installed the same update, or if re-installing Lion and skipping that update allows you to avoid the blank dialog and crashing?
I know the procedure he mentions does not sound very fun, but it shouldn't be too time-consuming.
Also, Marko (and others): That update includes some changes to the graphics system. If you have this update installed, but you disable the "automatic graphics switching" setting in system preferences, do you still get the crashing?

34. Re: InDesign CS5 Crashes with Warning Dialog Box
Marko272 Jun 28, 2012 1:41 PM (in response to AllDayDev)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

35. Re: InDesign CS5 Crashes with Warning Dialog Box
pure&simple Jun 30, 2012 9:11 PM (in response to AllDayDev)Marco272 is right, reinstalled lion (appearantly 10.7.3) but without the macbook pro mid 2012 (10.7.4) update and all works normally in indesign. Brilliant, that's the quick fix. Unfortunately Iphoto doesn't work any more. Please Adobe staff and apple, work this out and make it work properly. @marco, thank you on behalve of my clients and me.

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.
