InDesign Spinning Beach ball. . .
ireid (1283 pencils) | Wed, 2008-03-05 17:34I wish I were at the beach. . .
Here's the thing. I have a Mac G5 1.8 dual with X.4.8 and whenever I try to open InDesign and create a new document it hands with a spinning beach ball. . . I have repaired permissions and dumped the prefs (.plist) file and ran the Font Explorer clean font cache command. . . nuthin. . .
Anyone have any ideas?

I was experiencing the same problems. After days of frustration and non-productivity (thanks, Adobe!) I hit upon this solution:
1) Go to: [/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Version Cue CS3/Client/3.1.0/]
2) Within that folder find two folders: 3.1.0 and 3.0.0. Delete the 3.1.0 folder and change the name of the 3.0.0 folder to 3.1.0.
You probably won't even need to re-start to notice the difference.
Lastly,
3) Turn off your Adobe Updater. Download your updates directly from the Adobe site from now on.
Let me know if that helps!
I SHOULD have said I am using inDesign CS2! My bad.
I think I'll try the update and see if there was a fix I needed.
