Hi

I try to open In Design. It just block and nothing happens. 

It was working perfectly three days ago so I don't get it.
I'm on Mac Mini. Sonoma 14.5

Any idea?

Thanks

Hey, that worked!!! I deinstalled all the BETA versiones of my Adobe apps (they are the only BETA versions of apps I have at all) and now the Adobe apps start again. Thank you for your help! I would never have thought that you have to delete the BETA apps.

 

Kind regards

I have exactly the same problem with exactly the same Adobe apps hanging while starting on a MacBook Pro 16" 2021. 

 

It happened directly after installing "OM Workspace", the RAW Converter of OM-Systems, the successor of OLYMPUS. This photo software has presumably damaged something wich is needed by the Adobe apps to start.

 

I tried to solve the problem by updating on Mac OS Sonora 14.6. -> Nothing

I logged out and in in the Adobe Cloud. -> Nothing

I deinstalled Indesign and Photoshop and re-installed it. -> Nothing

In between I did severeal re-starts. -> Nothing

I used Etre check, found some problem files, deleted them. -> Nothing

 

Next idea: using Mac OS disk repair. But I hesitate.

 

Thank you for your help.

Probably I have to delete a folder in the library which is automatically re-vreated by the system. But which?

How much RAM? What version of InDesign? 

Try resetting preferences. Also, I believe the current version of Sonoma is 14.6.

Hi @Abhishek Rao 

thanks for your reply.
In Design is not the only app that I can't open.

 

Apps I can't open : Illustrator, Photoshop, Photoshop Beta and In Design. 

 

Apps I can open without any problem : Animate, Character Animator, Audition, After Effects, Premiere pro, Media Encoder.

 

So I don't get it. It's not related to my memory otherwise other app could not open. 
My device is Mac Mini M1. 16GO Ram. I'm on the latest Sonoma system and all my apps are updated.

 

No message. I open the app and then there is the image opening and the small wheel of color looping. After the image disappear and App does not answer. 

 

Illustrator, Photoshop, Photoshop Beta and In Design were working three days ago. And today as I came back to work they dont anymore. I did nothing in between. I was on holiday!

Thanks for your help.
All the best

You may need to go nuclear.
