It needs an Intel Mac, so you can't install InDesign on your Power Mac

first thing to try is reset InDesign:


delete the preference file located here:


system > users > home folder > library > peferences > com.adobe.InDesign.plist



then repair the hard drive:


shut down the Mac

restart - then press shift key immediately after the chime

keep pressing shift untill the Apple logo appears

let the Mac boot to the desktop - it will take longer to boot as it is repairing the hard drive


when desktop appears, restart the Mac normally
