Cs6 on mac 10.9 clone stamp/brushes not responding after 2 minutes used?

Using mac 10.9 and cs6. Clone stamp, brushes and all other tools stop responding after about 1 minute of using. With the clone stamp for example, you can see the part you are trying to clone in the crosshairs but they do not transfer?? What is happening?

How much system RAM and VRAM do you have?

Premiere Pro CS6 not responding after adding anything to timeline

I had been using Premiere CS6 successfully for a while, but starting a few months ago, it started not responding after I did anything. I can add a title and a transition succesfully to the timeline and it plays fine, but as soon as I add a picture or video clip, it immediately stops responding. It's frustrating because the program used to work fine before.
The only thing I can think of that might have affected it was when I upgraded to Mavericks, but I haven't read anything about any serious problems with Premiere running on Mavericks. I have a late 2008 MacBook Pro.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Sorry but we need details to help
What version of the OS do you have? What has changed since iPhtoo worked?
What exactly is the problem - you say "it was not responding" - You downloaded a new version (what version)" -you can't find yoru photos" none of which is helpful
look in your applications folder - is there an Iphoto application there? If so get info and report the version
Look in the picures folder - is there an iPhoto library there? If so exactly (including exact error messages) happens if you double click on it?
what else can you tell us that might help us assist you?

Trouble with the Clone Stamp/ Brush Sampling Layer

Hey guys! I've been having trouble with my clone stamp tool. Just installed the new PS CC and when I try to sample the layer that I want to clone, I hit "alt-click" and it gives the the error message telling me to do the very thing I just did? alt-click. Doesn't work. Same problem with the brush tool, except no error message, it just doesn't sample it. Can you help me figure out what the problem is? Thank you!

Update your graphics driver and/ or turn off OpenGL in the prefs and check for flakey color profiles.

Clone Stamp does not work

I have photoshop CS4, and whenever I try to sample an area to clone, then clone the area to the place I want, the entire image moves around, and I can't clone anything. When I am moving the image, there seems to be another same exact picture underneath, but when I check the layer panel, I only have one background layer. What is going on with my clone stamp, I never had this problem before. Help, I need to pass my assignments in.

Hi,
You are currently in the wrong forum. You should be either in the Photoshop Windows or Photoshop Mac forums.
http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop
That having been said. I think you might have "Show Overlay" checked in your clone stamp panel. I have CS3 so don't know how different the setting may be in CS4. If "show Overlay" isn't checked in the clone stamp palette, you could try a reset of the clone stamp tool. (Right click the stamp tool icon's little drop down arrow in the Options bar (not the tool box), and select reset tool. If that doesn't work, the next step would be to reset Photoshop preferences.

Clone Stamp Tool not cloning transparency correctly

My clone stamp tool is not cloning transparency correctly.
I have looked at all opacity, flow, and blending setings.
Basically, what I remember from before this problem started, is that cloning a transparent edge, or an area with some degree of transparency, and the transparency information would transfer pixel for pixel.
Now it appears that the color cloning is working correctly but the transparency information is cloning as additive.
For example, if I have a solid color square with no transparency, surrounded by tranparent area and I clone from the square into the tranparent area, it clones corectly. If I try to clone FROM the tranparent area, into the square, nothing happens. The zero opacity (transparent) information is added to the 100% opacity square and the result is no change. I would expect to create a brush shaped line of 100% transparency since my cloning stamp is set to 100% opacity.
If there is an area that is50% transparent. (Like if it had been erased at 50% opacity), then when I clone one part of the 50% transparent area onto another, instead of staying the same the tranparency goes to 100%.
I am trying to use the cloning stamp tool to modify a .png logo that contains many areas of varying transparency, and so this problem is making the editing slow going if not impossible.
I do not know how to fix this or if I inadvertantly checked/engaged some sort of setting.
Any help is appreciated.

You may be correct. I tried it on an older version of Photoshop with the same effect.
I am not sure why I thought transparency would clone rather than add the transparency.
I think it would be more effective if you could clone the transparency though, or at least choose. For example, what if I I want to clone an area with less than 100% opacity on to another area with 100% opacity, or if I want to clone an uneven edge that is opaque on one side and transparent on the other, and I want to move it into the opaque area a little further.
It seems I have done this many times, but I may just be tired and not remembering correctly.
At any rate, thanks for the quick reply.

The clone stamp will not work in AE CC

When I click on the clone stamp tool, nothing changes and I'm unable to use the tool. The clone stamp symbol becomes highlighted, but the curser doesn't change to a circle over the image and just stays as an arrow. When I try to sample an area by holding down alt/option, nothing happens and I am unable to do anything. Does anyone have any help for this problem?

The Clone Stamp tool works in a layer source window, not the main comp viewer window. Double click on your target layer in the timeline to open its layer source viewer.

The Clone Stamp is not showing in the side toolbar

Hi -
I recently needed to reinstall Photoshop on my PC and for some reason the Clone/Stamp tool is not showing up. All the other tools are where they should be but for some reason the clone / stamp tool is just not there (see image below). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does the clone stamp tool appear if you press the letter S on your keyboard?
There are multiple tool choices if you right-click on the icons displayed with corners.

You can try the following:
Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
        the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.

Mac is running SUPER Slow, applications not responding when i open them, Beachballs everywhere

Whenever i open an application (Take Google chrome for an example) it bounces like 20+ times, then on activity monitor it says "Application Not Responding". Whenever i type too fast on spotlight or finder, my whole desktop freezes, im suspecting this can be maybe HDD failure, i have repaired my MacintoshHD probably 3 times this past week. I have 150GB free out of a 250GB hdd, and i have 4 GB RAM. PLEASE HELP! Im currently enrolled in college and this is vital and needs to be fixed ASAP.

Mdworker process - mac is very very slow, apps not responding

A couple of days a ago, I noticed there was lots of chatter coming from the hard drive. I also noticed that the Mac Pro was very slow at doing most things, lots of beach balls and applications not responding. Right now, all I can hear is the HDD
I opened up activity monitor and noticed that a process name called - mdworker - was using 8.83GB or Real Mem and around 11.80GB of Virtual Mem. These figures fluctuate, the Virtual Mem has gone as high as 14GB. Sometimes the process goes down very low to say below a GB, then rises again.
I have 10GB of ram installed inside the mac. Furthermore, I've seen 100%of CPU use though mdworker.
I've been reading about this problem, lots of advice says to move the HDD image to the privacy pane on spotlight as this is a indexing/spotlight issue, though I still want to use spotlight.
Will this process ever end, or is there a way to stop it, as is using up all the resources?
The only thing I've installed of late is a music plug-in called Geist and an expansion pack which came with it.
Right now I can't rally use my mac like before, I'm writing this on an iPad.
Any help would be great, as the mac is integeral part of m work.

How much free drive space on the Mac?
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.
You can stop Spotlight from indexing > Spotlight tips
Have you emptied the Safari cache lately? From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache. Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
If that didn't help, back to the menu bar, click Safari > Reset Safari. Select the top 5 boxes, click Reset. Try Safari.
And try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file (preferences)
Go to ~/Library/Preferences
Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
Quit, relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, move the .plist file to the Trash, If not, just move it back to the Preferences folder.
And try troubleshooting Safari third party plugins. Go to Safari > Preferences then select the Security tab. Deslect: Enable plug-ins
Quit then relaunch Safari to test. If that made a difference, then you need to find the plugin(s) causing the problem > Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues

CS6 on Mac: Layers in certain folders are not selectable

The problem occurs when trying to select a layer on my canvas that is not in the folder I am currently working in.
So let's say I have 2 folders named folder 1 and folder 2. When I'm working on some objects in my document that are in folder 1, it all works. Yet when I try to click and select an object on my canvas that is located in folder 2 I won't be able to select it. As if it would be locked. When I go to my layers pannel, and click on 'folder 2', It normally selects all the layers in that folder and I can select everything in there. (Until I click on something that is in 'folder 1, in which case I won't be able to select any object on my canvas again.)
It almost seems like a preference, but I haven't been able to find anything that warrants this as an (annoying) feature.
Any help would be much appreciated.
On MacBook pro: OSX 10.8.3
Fireworks CS6: 12.01.1.274

The problem is not when it's in a different layer, but when I put layers in different folders. They are not selectable at that time anymore if I'm editing an object that is in a different layers folder.
I haven't had this problem before, but now it won't go away no matter how many times I reboot. (Also tried closing all other programs like spotify, but no luck still.)

Clone Stamp Tool not pasting my selection - PSE 10

When brushing the cloned selection into my image, a crosshair moves around the screen, and the tool pastes whatever's under the crosshair, not my original selection.
I unchecked the "Aligned" box, but apparently this isn't the solution. Any help is appreciated.

I see what's happening. I was trying paint the target area, holding down the mouse. This automatically enables Aligned mode.
Thanks.
