Each time i begin work, it frezes after i type a few words

SInce a fiew days Indesign crashes while opening and working on several files. Files have been created in Idesign 2023. Idml doesn't work either. I'm working on Monterey 12.6 on a MacBook Pro 2019.

Glad it's not just me. I've been using ID nearly daily since 2001, and this release has me pulling my hair out. Overset text won't delete. Menus stop working. Colors and swatches not updating/importing correctly. I have no idea what happened with this version, but it's extremely frustrating. I'm honestly just glad it's not just me. V. 17.4, Mac Monterey 12.6.

Same here. Some drop down menus show no information (specifically, Text Wrap) and have to double click to access some features. Using InDesign 17.4.0.51 on iMac OS Monterey (12.5.1).

Same here! Menu drop downs don't work and ID crashes every few minutes. Literally cannot do my job! Things that don't matter:
1. Deleting preferences
2. Restarting
3. What computer you're using
4. What fonts you're using
5. What images you're using
6. If you have peripherals
7. Going back to Version 17.1 - does the same thing!

Just fix the software, Adobe! This is beyond bad. It's unusable. It's embarrassing as a freelancer to tell your client you just can't do the job. You're stealing money from us, Adobe.

HI.

I suffer from a problem that some people talked about, and I tried all the solutions proposed by the community.

But unfortunately, to no avail.

The problem is that InDesign won't open, even though I have the latest version (17.3).

The problem is that the start screen freezes at (starting up service registry)

iMac 24, with M1 chip + Monterey V.S. Adobe InDesign AND Acrobat...

If a file is bigger than ~120MB, Indesign and Acrobat is freezing. In case of Indesign, it happens when I want to save (the file is successfully saved (thanks for the God) but the app is suddenly stopped working.

But if I like to open a PDF in Acrobat, similar thing is happens: first the software is freezing (for 2-4 minutes) then its quit.

I'm tried to reinstall the package (with using Adobe Cleaner Tool) but nothing is changes.

Same thing, same file works fine with an older (i7) configuration.

Thank you.

I absolutely agree with you. I used to be skeptical of gambling as a phenomenon because I'm not a gambler at all. Then I was advised to try to play online pokies. At https://pokiesman.com/, I've found a lot of tips on choosing online pokies to play.

me too! I'm using Indesign 2021/2022 on OS Big sur and it is no possible to make the package on file server resident: it crashes the whole MAC . ( On Windows it works 100% )

Yes, MENUS do not drop down.. that means the entire functionality of the program is destroyed. How long till a fix? Have to reinstall previous version it looks like.
What incredibly incompetent and flakey developers you have. WHY create a new release that destroys the app????? Why?

I am experiencing exactly the same issue on PC.

I have tried:
- restarting the PC
- uninstalling and reinstalling inDesign.

I have tried all possible solutions, uninstalled, reinstalled, delete caches and preferences and resetting preferences, even used adobe cleaning tool but still the problem insists with not responding when opens just appears a black screen with only the name. I have tried to restart mac when InDesign was open and then it was launched fine but when closed and then relaunched the same problem again. I don't understand. I have also tried different versions but still the same problem. I have also tried to launch in safe mode but still the same problem. I have no clue this happens. all other adobe programs work perfectly!

I updated too Mac Book Pro Monterey 12.2 and then Indesign went all crazy....

Same here. Look at my screen shot... All my menus freeze on the screen!!! I have to double click to access my drop down menus from the navigation and still I cannot access sub-menus

I just updated to 2022 17.1 in the hope that crashes would cease, but not so.

1. Version 2022 17.1
2. OS Mac 12.1
3.
a. Crashes/freezes on launch OR displays spinning beach ball for long periods when in use.

b. Clicking on menus does nothing -- no dropdown. Clicking precisely and holding down the mouse button does reveal menu, but menu disappears when mouse button is released, but this is lso inconsistent

c. When Command-Tab-ing between open apps on the MacBook, InDesign disappears. You can only return to InDesign by clicking on an open window, but you cannot switch back to InDesign using Command-Tab.

This is a poor release. I'm having the same issue with menus -- they only work with click and hold. ID still freezes (not responding) on launch, and is unstable (freezes randomly) when in use. Terrible update.

MacBook Pro M1 OS 12.1

2022 v. 17 won't even open on iMac late 2013 running Catalina 10.15.7
stalls, freezes. must force quit.

Version: 17.0.1.105 (17010) just installed

do you want to see the crash report that goes to apple?

ID 2020, 2021, 2022 crashes unexpected
All versions are crashing sometimes when switching programs, sometimes while using. This happens 6–10 times during the day. Crash reporter is nearly no use because it won’t come up in 95% of all crashes.

Here’s the DB-link to a hang file. Hope this helps

Help would be MOST appeciated!

InDesign constantly "not responding" after updating, even when performing the simplest tasks such as changing the font, changing the font size...

More of the same here. What a nightmare !!!
Common keyboard commands such as 'Comm+N' for a new document, Comm+O' for opening an existing document, 'Comm+;' for showing/hiding guidelines... I could go on and on...

It just doesn't work anymore ?!?
It is indeed the worst release ever !!!
