Macbook Pro Freezes When I Open PS CS6

I have a 15" Macbook pro 2012 edition running OSX Lion. I've been using photoshop since I purchases the laptop in 2012. but as of yesterday, whenever I open photoshop my screen would go glitchy and corrupted and my keyboard becomes irresponsive. The only way I can get my computer to work again is to turn it off and turn it back on by pressing the power button. I am using an AMD Radeon HD 6750M/ Intel HD Graphics 3000 graphics card. What can I do to make photoshop work again. Without crashing.

PS:  that should read SYSTEM PREFERENCES above (not control panel)
though i would be more inclined to suspect your system got corrupted, you added something or your hardware flaked out
Applecare can likely help (and you can also paste in the Adobe Crash Report here in case the engineers can spot something)...

    No, it is not a bug. It is working as designed. And there is noting in the manual that staes you can create folders for a POP account.
    You do know that any email sent through a POP account stays on the provider's server (often for years) even if you delete it from your inboxes, right? Completely beyond your control. Refusing to use an IMAP service doesn't protect you from anything.

  • Macbook Pro Freezes When USB Plugged In

    Just like the title says, my Mid 2012 Macbook Pro 13 running 10.8.2 freezes for an averge of 15 seconds whenever I plug anything into the USB ports. It varies depending on what is plugged in. Phones, both iPhone and Android make it freeze for about 15 seconds, USB drives are usually just a couple seconds. I dont even know where to begin when trouble shooting this. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    Hi guys,
    I have the same problem with my MacBook Pro. When I plug in any usb device I get a short freeze of the pc for about 5 seconds. During my tests, I noticed that the freezing starts from the first time that i move the touchpad. It means that if I plug the usb device and I move the touchpad after 30 seconds, I get the freazing from that time for 5 seconds. if I continue to move the touchpad while I plug in the usb I don't get any freeze. Moreover, I noticed that if in the meantime that I plug in the usb I move the touchpad without any interruption, I don't get any freezing.
    I don't know if the problem could be related to the touchpad or not... Help!!!

  • MacBook Pro Freezes When Viewing Any Video with new iTunes

I can't believe this kind of bugs in a software that is so mature. Help please!

  • MacBook Pro freezes when I try to open anything

    Whenever I boot up my MacBook Pro, I let it warm up for about 5 minutes. Then, when I try and click and click on anything, like the browser, the whole computer freezes and the only thing I can do is force it to shut down by holding down the power button. Then I boot up into safe mode, restart the computer and everything works fine. Anything know what the problem is? Thanks

  • Macbook pro freezes when itunes is opened

    Hello,
    I am having a problem when I open itunes. Whenever I open itunes my trackpad freezes. If I try to move the cursor it won't move, but after a minute or two it will; however, I cannot complete any other functions return key, force close, etc. The only way I have been able to overcome the freeze is by control+command+power button. I downloaded a firmware update this morning...and have tried opening it three times now.
    Any hints to the problem would be great, but I am not very computer literate so any advice would require some detailed hand holding to get me through the fix. Otherwise, I won't open itunes till I find someone that can figure it out.
    Thanks,
    dk
    I have a 2011 macbook pro 2.2GHz i7, istat says I have 2.6 GB of free memory. I am running OS X 10.6.8, not really sure what other information is pertinent.

    Guys try this; it worked for me.
    I recently bought MacBook Pro 15" & updated everything. All worked well till I started iTunes. The computer froze & I had to press the power button. This happenned again & again.
    This is what I did & you too can try it. It's risk-free:
    Go > Home > Music
    Rename the folder "iTunes" to anything, e.g. "iTunes-old"
    Start iTunes, it will work normally and will create a new folder "iTunes"
    "iTunes-old" is still there. If you need something from it, take it, otherwise you may delete the folder.
    Have fun.
    Merry Christmas!

  • Macbook pro freezes when open finder

    Hi, I have a problem with my macbook pro, since mountain lion os 10.8.2 update, every time I open the Finder freezes and I have to shut down my macbook with the button, because it does nothing, it only happens when I open the finder , which may be the problem?

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
    Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message. When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.

    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • MacBook Pro freezes when open Adobe products

    I use my MacBook Pro connect to an iMac in Target Display Mode, everything works perfect. When i use my Macbook standalone (not connected to iMac) and open Adobe products it freezes and have to restart. Why does does this happen yet when connected to the iMac it is fine (never freezes, ever!)

    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Note the timestamps of the BOOT_TIME log messages, which refer to the times when the system was started. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    For example, if the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down for three minutes before you forced a restart, post the messages timestamped within three minutes before the boot time, not after. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract—not at the beginning.
    If there are long runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the crashed process and ends in ".crash". A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". A shutdown stall report has a name that ends in ".shutdownstall". Select the most recent of each, if any. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. It's possible that none of these reports exists.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash or panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • MacBook Pro freezes when Photo Booth is opened.

    I have a MacBook Pro, purchased June 2008, and have always had a problem with Photo Booth. When I open the program it captures an initial image, but then freezes for 15 seconds up to a few minutes. When it finally unfreezes, every program runs slows while Photo Booth is open and even a few minutes after it's been closed. I have no other problems with my iSight while using Skype, iChat or any web-based video applications. I've tried closing all other programs before using Photo Booth, but that has no effect on the freezing. It freezes even after a restart. I've checked the activity monitor and when the program is opened and freezing the CPU usage is anywhere between 75 and 99%, then it hovers around 25%. Any ideas on what I could do to stop this annoying freezing would be greatly appreciated.

    I bought my Macbook pro this June for school. Unfortunately when I open it is begins to freeze or takes awhile to wake up from sleep. Also wheni open it sometimes the screen looks distorted. WHAT is going on? Please help me!!

  • MacBook Pro Freezes when waking up..

    My MacBook Pro has started to freeze up, everytime I try to wake it. When ever I'm done using my Mac I simply Log Off and close the lid. When I return I open the Lid. And thats when I get the Log In screen, and the spinning beach ball. It never seems to time out. I have to do a hard reset by holding the power button. I searched the support page. And Apple's recomendation was to DL EFI update1.9 . (My Mac Book is a Mid 2010) But when I try to run it I get an error message: Software not supported by your system. Does anyone have any suggestions...
    Thanx

    Last resort, but if it fixes your problem then I guess that is a plus. If you are under warranty, I would suggest you cash that in while you can. Please reads the risks or unsaved work:
    So here is how to change power management (Hybernation) to see if this fixes your problem:
    You can change the way your computer hybernates from hybernatemode 3 to 0.
    3 = RAM is powered on while sleeping, but RAM contents are also written to disk before sleeping. In the event of total power loss, the system enters hibernation mode automatically. The downside to this mode is that it is very slow. The upside is that it is very unlikely that you will lose any unsaved work should your mbp lose power.
    0 = RAM powered on while sleeping, safe sleep disabled, and super-fast wake. The downside to this mode is that it does not save any of your work, should your mbp lose power, and you would have to remember to manually save before putting to sleep. The upside is that your computer would sleep & wake up in around 2 seconds.
    Go to Terminal & type:
    pmset -g | grep hibernatemode
    That should give you a result of 3.
    To change it to 0 type:
    sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
    It might ask you to enter your password.
    Then delete the old sleepimage file:
    cd /var/vm
    sudo rm sleepimage
    Just remember, saving will have to be done manually by you,
