I designed and layout a catalog last year using InDesign CS5/Loepard. The job went smoothly. This year I have added about 25 pages and moved some items around. I am using InDesign CS6 (Cloud)/ Mountain Lion. It seems that the trouble started when I altered the page masters to rename and added a few more masters. I am at about the same amount of pages as last year and it takes about a minute just to highlight something and make a change or move something around. Sometimes it doesn't highlight at all, the little disk just spins.
Anybody have an answer for this? I have looked all over the internet and have tried all suggestions and it doesn't work. I have a deadline and this is extremely frustrating.
Anybody have an answer please email me at toddm@tallguygraphics.com
Thanks- Todd
The Users/<yourname>/Library file is a hidden file on OSX.7 and .8
See this for instructions (says 10.7 but works for 10.8 as well)

Moved to the InDesign forum. They will be able to help you.

Where do I go for InDesign forum?

I have already moved the post.
Note the breadcrumb trail at the top. Clicking on Discussions will take you to this overall forum, InDesign has several forums some for more specific things such as scripting.
If you click on Adobe Community you will see several forums listed but can open a drop-down list for all the various product and service forums.

It would be more productive if you told us what all those suggestions were that didn't work so we don't need to tell you to try them again. Have you read any of the other threads on the ID forum regarding slow performance?

Well I tried all of these:
There are many reasons why InDesign might be running slowly, but here’s a quick rundown of things I would try in this situation, more or less in the order I would likely try them.

Those are certainly the main causes. Is this happening in all files, or only isolated files?
What are the system specs?

Peter it appears to be an isolated file. However when I save it in another file name the problem still exist. It seems to have started when I made additional page Masters and changed some of the one's that already exist from last years file. I deleted things I did not need from last years catalog and started from scratch. In between I did upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion.

for an isolated file it could be a file problem that might be correctable by exporting. See Remove minor corruption by exporting
It may alos be related to hyperlinks, cross-refernces to another file (open any files that are referenced), or links to a network location.

That worked Peter. It seems to have solved the problem for now anyway. Thanks so much for your help!

Peter I used what you said for my office computer and it worked fine but I got home to my home office and there is no preferences file in the user file. Do you have any idea where it may be? Actually nothing is in the order that you have listed that I used on my work computer. Maybe this is the problem? I can't find my preferences any where. Any thoughts?

Thanks Larry, that did the trick. Why would they ever hide the Library?

You did well with the InDesign. How are you with Mac?
Cupertino Huh? Maybe you know a quick way to awaken my Mac? Same type of Mac as below. It takes maybe 1 or 2 minutes of clicking keys and mouse as well as moving the mouse back and forth to waken. Then when it finally does wake it gives a message that my external HD was shut down. The HD does reload. Any answers for that Peter or Larry?

I'm actually a Windows guy and only mess with the inner workings of Macs when I have no other choice. Sorry.

What's where? Are all your apps on the internal HD and only data on the external HD? I just got and had installed a 1TB HD from Fry's that cost $90. No need now fro an external drive except for backups.

Larry I do have all my apps on the internal and data on the external. Would that keep the computer from waking up though? It would solve the problem of my external from ejecting while I am trying to wake the computer itself. Would this solve both problems though?

Peter I booted up my computer to work on that same file thinking the problem was all solved and now it's doing it again. I tried this same process over again and it's not working this time. Any clues?

Do you have any third party plugins or a font manager?

I'm using Suitcase Fusion 4 but no plugins. My InDesign was loaded straight from the Cloud. Do you think it would help to reload the program from the cloud?

I was using an older version of Suitcase Fusion but I upgrade thinking that may be the problem.

And the next step if exporting to .idml is not working is to try moving the pages to a new file. Create a new file with the same page size, then rename the master page to something not used in the original file. In the original select all the pages inthe Pages panel, then open the flyout menu, choose Move Pages... and select the new file as the destination. Move them BEFORE page 1 to maintain the same sides of the spreads.
