Hallo Community,

ich hoffe, Ihr könnt mir helfen!

Derzeit sitze ich an meiner Masterarbeit und die entsprechende Datei scheint plötzlich defekt zu sein – das letzte, was ich getan habe, war, einen kleinen Textabschnitt an eine andere Stelle zu kopieren – jedes Mal, wenn ich sie öffne, friert InDesign ein und ich muss es "sofort beenden" ...

Neustart sowie Updates auf ID 19.4 und Systemupdate auf Sonoma 14.4.1 haben nichts verändert.

Wisst Ihr Rat?

Danke im Vorfeld!

Robert

PS: Gesichert habe ich zuletzt vor zwei Wochen, von dort weiterzuarbeiten ist leider keine Option.

Please check your messages.

Fle is much smaller - but I don't have links so there are no previews - hopefully all recent edits are there.

So you kept your INDD file open for two weeks?

You could try IDMLing - export as IDML, open, save with a new name - do not overwrite your original file.

But if you really saved your file two weeks ago - and kept your file open for two weeks wile working on it - I'm sorry, but if IDMLing won't work then all changes are most likely gone...

Unless you have Time Machine activated on your Mac?

And you should really change the way you work.

natürlich habe ich gespeichert! alle 5 minuten, sogar! es ist vielleicht ein fehler der übersetzungsfunktion vom deutschen in das englische: ich sichere meine daten redundant; vor zwei wochen habe ich zuletzt eine sicherungsdatei erstellt.

aber vielen dank! 🙂

Is the problem only happening with the one file? If so, try exporting the file as an IDML (File>Export>InDesign Markup (IDML)) and then opening that file in your version of InDesign. This process can clear up some corruption in an InDesign file. Hopefully, it can fix this file.

If it is happening with other files as well try resetting your InDesign preferences.

To do so on a Mac:

The User Library folder in which InDesign’s preferences are stored is hidden by default on most Macintoshes. To access it make sure that InDesign is closed and click on the desktop to launch a Finder Window (Command-N). With this window in column view follow the path User>Home folder (it’s the folder with an icon that looks like a house—it may have the user’s name rather than “Home”) and click on the Home folder. With the Option Key pressed choose Library from the Finder Go Menu. “Library” will now appear within the Home folder. Within the Library folder find the folder called Preferences and within it find the folder called “Adobe InDesign” and the file called “com.adobe.InDesign.plist” and delete both that folder and that file. When InDesign is next launched it will create new preference files and the program will be restored to its defaults.

The advantage of manually deleting preference files in this manner is that after you’ve reset up the program (make sure that no document window is open) to your liking, you can create copies of your personalized “mint” preference files (make sure that you quit the program before copying them—that finalizes your customization) and use them in the future to replace any corrupt versions you may need to delete.
