Scott: I figured that it was the same problem--with slightly different results--because it only affects InDesign (Photoshop, DreamWeaver, and Illustrator work fine), and it started to appear after the "Mid 2012 Software Update for 10.7.4" was installed--it worked before, but not after, on my new Retina Pro. When I read about others having crashes upon dialog boxes, it just meant I was getting a dialog box as I opened the app. With three points agreeing with everyone else's issues, I figured the difference was only a variation. From the timing and my dialog box after the crash, you can confirm that this is a different issue? ... View more

Scott Worthington wrote: Our engineers have provided a workaround that, while potentially complex for some, should allow for full functionality. Essentially we're asking those affected by this issue to place three icon files within the InDesign application file itself to bypass the check for the missing API. Please take a look at the just published article and see if the steps and the files work for you. http://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/indesign-crashes-blank-dialog-boxes .html Nope. Installed the 3 files, no difference. Still get crash at InDesign startup (Retina Pro, updated, CS5). Any suggestions? Thanks! ... View more

I am using CS5 on a Retina Pro. I looked in my /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/ folder. There is a folder titled "Adobe InDesign," which contains a folder "Version 7.0," which contains a folder "en_US," which contains a folder "CompositeFont," which had a ".lst" file in it. That is all. No Default file. I tried putting both default files found in these forums in every one of those directories, no joy. I tried putting it in the main Preferences directory as well, same thing. Furthermore, I can't even open InDesign--when I try to start it, the splash screen comes up, but then it shuts down, and I get this dialog: I have search the Application Support and Prefernce folders as well as the Application folder for InDesign, nowhere do I find the Defaults file. Where exactly does the Defaults file go? Do I create a new folder with a specific name in the /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign folder? Thanks. ... View more
