InDesign Spinning Beach ball. . .
Submitted by ireid on Wed, 2008-03-05 17:34.
I 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 shake my fist at Version Cue!
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!
Thanks! BUT
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.
