Hello!
I am having big problems working with InDesign lately. The spinning ball keeps appearing with every click I do and spinning for 3seconds to 1 minute. No matter if it is a large document or one with only 5 slides (with no images, only text). Last time it appeared cause I was flipping a rectangular box 90°... > you can see this in the video attached.
I have the newest Indesin Update 17.4 and a brand new macbook 14 inch 16GB RAM, 500GB free space.
I bought the macbook especially for working in Indesign, besides Photoshop the only programm I use – since Indesign just stopped working on my old machine from 2012 – and funny enough now it is the ONLY programm that is not working. Photoshop and Illustrator work fine, even with a large amount of big files. So it must be Indesign right?
I use it professionally and i lost a lot of time due to this problem!
I tried, as suggested in other threads:
- deactivating Internet connection
- clearing Indesign Cache
- the quality is on "normal" - and even on the fastest image quality where you only see the grey boxes it still lagged a lot and gave me the ball!
- no CPU view
- deleting and installing InDesign again
- working from the harddrive locally
- deactivating my font managing software
- it is happening with every file, so no its not a corrupt file
nothing worked.
Sometimes it works fine for some time, but then suddenly after I do something (I thought its only when I import new images, but its also very random) it comes and doesnt stop for hours…
What's wrong Adobe? I am not the only one having this issues, I read so many similar posts. I am paying more than 500€ per year for this software, this is not ok at all!
