InDesign CC crashing on launch on macOS

I disable my internet and launched it. It booted up no problem.

We were able to delete cache files (Mac OS X) for InDesign (without having to reinstall InDesign) to restore functionality:

~/Library/Caches/Adobe InDesign

~/Library/Caches/com.adobe.InDesign

~/Library/Caches/Adobe/CCX Welcome/.lockfile

Restarting InDesign (without having to restart the computer) brought InDesign back.

Hi, I jumped into this thread trying to figure out what could possibly be blocking the launch of ID, and in my case it was a font, as suggested by many users in this thread. The font I had to delete is ESRI North Regular.

Unable to launch Adobe InDesign as you do not have sufficient permissions to access the preferences folders. Ensure that you have appropriate permissions and then restart Adobe InDesign.

These creative cloud apps are so frustrating and disappointing.

I'm a graphic designer, not a technical / computer expert. I just want to launch it and work, and I can't even open the program to start!

$69.99 a month for software that won't work without the support of a mac tech?

Also, it kept telling me there were updates available, and then it would abort (or refuse to install) the updates, with some Error 43 nonsense. I'm completely disappointed, and I want CD-Rom based software again.

Disabling fonts isnt doing it for me. The crash still happens.

I can open Indesign, but if I go to 'file' - it crashes. Spinning beach ball of death.

I've disabled all my fonts, quit InDesign, opened it again, and the same thing happens. To my understanding the font solution was for a case where InDesign DIDNT crash when you opened it with all fonts disabled, but what is the solution if InDesign STILL crashes with all fonts disabled?

to quote the correct answer up there "Restart Indesign... if it opens without crashing... bingo you've found the problem." - But thats not the case for me

Courier New was the font that was causing problems for me and another person deep in this thread.

From FontBook, I turned it off, rebooted machine, and viola!

Thanks Adobe. That was only a waste of how long for everyone?

I had the same problem. Moved the InDesign preferences folder to the trash. Relaunched the app. All good. Using InDesign CC 2014 with Suitcase Fusion 6.

I was having the  same issue until I recalled that fonts will often create many issues for InDesign current and even previous versions.
Here's how I fixed my problem using InDesign CC and CS5 on an iMac (mid 2011) running OS 10.7.5

LAUNCH Applications/Font Book/
On the nav bar on the left hi-light/click on your user profile.
Once your user profile name is selected click on Edit from the application menu bar

Select "Disable User."

Close Font Book and relaunch InDesign. This worked for me to at least engage InDesign CC so that I could down-save my file to an IDML.
The issue is that at some point you'll need to figure out which fonts are crashing.
My concern at this point is that InDesign CC crashes but my CS5 version launches just fine with my vast and somewhat ghetto assortment of fonts.

Hope this works and thanks everyone for the guidance!
