What version of OS X are you using? If Yosemite, you need to update to 10.10.1 or higher.
In any case, start by going to the editor preferences>general, clicking this button and restarting the editor:

I've just upgraded my software to 10.8.5 and have discovered this morning that the autofill feature freezes when I try to use it.

I've just upgraded my software to 10.8.5 and have discovered this morning that the autofill feature freezes when I try to use it. I have worked through all of the suggestions in HELP. The autofill prompt appears when I start to fill in a form but doesn't then provide the option box to select autofill from my contact card, the autofill prompt remains on the screen and can only be cleared by closing Safari and then reopening it. This never happened before and in fact autofill has been working perfectly up until now.

You can create another iCloud account easily enough, but you will only be able to create a new @icloud.com address to go with it, not @me.com - and you can't transfer your @me.com address from the other account.Creating a new account will have no effect on the existing one.
However you don't need to create a new iCloud account to create an additional ermail address. You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account, move it to another account, or reactivate it if you delete it.
More information on aliases here:
http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
While you can delete aliases, you cannot delete the address you created when you opened the account.

Is anyone having trouble with there messenger app. The message freezing when i try to use the magnifying glass

My Iphone 5s has recently started freezing when i try to send a message/ use my magnifying glass. PLEASE HELP

Hi Oli_boss,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I know it is frustrating when you cannot use the Messages application as you would expect. The first thing I would suggest would be to open the multitasking screen and quit the Messages app. After It quits, relaunch it fresh and test. If the Messages application is still having the same performance issues, try restarting the iPhone. Those steps and others can be found in the following article.

Have a great day,

Browsers freeze when i try to use webcam

For the past week, everytime i try to use my webcam my browser freezes and I need to use task manager to close it. I have the same problem on FIrefox 5.0 and IE 8. I am using a dell laptop with windows 7. I use a logitech webcam. Sometimes i am able to use the integrated webcam but the logitech always leads to a crash. I have reinstalled shockwave flash 10.1 r53 by downloading the uninstaller and the installer. To use the uninstaller i close all programs use the uninstall program, restart, restart computer again and then install Flash 10.1 r53 and then restart the system. I have done this several times in the past week. everything works fine until i try to use the logitech webcam. Up until this week i have not had any problems using the webcam. I checked the NPSWF32.dll and the version is 10,1,53,64. By reading these forums i see that i am not alone with these problems. I hope i have listed everthing that is pertinant. Please help!
Thanks

I was able to replicate this problem and believe it may be a bug, although I did find a "workaround".
The straighten tool was only drawing for a very short distance and then I would no longer see the straighten line. Of course, this prevented me from using it properly. I followed the suggestions in this thread and reset the preferences. The Straighten tool worked normally until I enabled the ruler under the View settings. Once, the ruler was enabled the straighten tool started doing the same thing it did before. I turned off the ruler and it started working normally again without re-opening the program. I tried the ruler both in the default inches measurement as well as pixels (my personal ruler preference).
The workaround would be to turn off the ruler while straightening. However, I hope this is fixed in a patch. I didn't have this problem with Photoshop Elements 9, the last version of Elements I had prior to upgrading. For the record, I'm running Windows 7, just installed Photoshop Elements 11 and immediately downloaded the updates, which I believe was just the Adobe Raw 7.3 update.

Photos app freezes when I try to use share-message

This has been going on with iPhoto since one of its updates about 6 months ago. And now with the new Photos app on my MacBook Pro same thing: when I try to share a photo by sending an iMessage the app freezes. I can maybe get a recipient name entered in, but the little pop up box is totally grayed out and it freezes and the whole Photos app freezes. I have to quit then app in order to get out of the mess. Can anyone offer some help? Thanks.

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Does your computer have one of the LSPs mentioned in the article?
If it does, try resetting Winsock.

FCPX freezes when I try to use titles.

All I did was try to use a title in Final Cut Pro 10.1.3, and my computer froze entirely. After a hard reboot and a failed attempt to relaunch the app, I got this error message, which gave me these problem details. I then tried launching FCP again, and the computer froze once again. Since that day, launching FCP only makes the app freeze, not the whole computer. Would someone mind helping me decipher those problem details so I can resume editing?

It worked for a while, but now today I can't use the app for more than a minute before it freezes the whole computer... Reinstalling doesn't help this time. Any other ideas? Thanks for helping it to work for such a long time, though!

Itunes freezes when I try to use Apple TV2

I have an issue about 3 times a week, that when I go to stream something from itunes to Apple tv2 that it will cause itunes to freeze, I have to force quit itunes and restart and that normally will work, but occasionally i have to do it multiple times

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.

Why does the straighten tool in Elements 11 freeze when I try to use it?

When I click on the straighten tool and then click on a horizontal line on my photo, as I attempt to draw the line across the photo it freezes after a fraction of an inch and rotates the photo before I've drawn the line along the horizontal feature I'm using and it's always wrong. I had this problem with my downloaded trial version of Elements 11 and it appears on the version I purchased in the store today.

If you can go to iWork '09, but only if you don't spending the relatively small amount of money. It is available quite cheaply from Amazon.

How do I erase my hard drive? My initial operating system was Snow Leopard but I have upgraded to Mavericks OS. My Snow Leopard install disk ejects when I try and use it.

Do a backup, preferable 2 separate ones on 2 drives. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Reformat the drive using Disk Utility/Erase Mac OS Extended (Journaled), then click the Option button and select GUID. Then re-install the OS.

When you reboot, use Setup Assistant to restore your data.
