Adobe cs4 freezes when trying to open Bridge Home

hi,
i am using adobe bridge cs4 in mac os x 10.5
when i try to open Bridge Home, it freezes. Any other thing works fine in Bridge.
thanks in advance.

Actually, I missed one of the suggestions and that has fixed it.
I did have Opera installed and trashed it as per Ramón's suggestion - this didn't fix the problem - with no separate Opera install, Bridge still froze.
What finally fixed it was installing a new, independent copy of Opera version 9.63
I launched Opera once before trying Bridge again - this may or may not be a necessary step.

  • Preview freezes when trying to open images - other programs have no trouble

    Preview freezes when trying to open images - other programs have no trouble with the same file. This problem is somewhat intermittent.
    I have replaced the Preview application by moving a copy from another equivalent machine - no luck.
    Did not find any preferences file trash, though I looked.
    Is there one?
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Edwin,
    The .plist for Preview should be located @ ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.plist (where "~" is your Home folder).
    Trash the file, logout/login or reboot your computer and try opening the app and opening the offending file again.
    Let us know if any luck with finding the .plist there and opening your file?

  • PS CS4 crashes when trying to open PNG files

    I am using a freshly installed CS4 on a freshly installed Mac OS 10.6.3. No extra filters, nothing.
    Now: whenever I export a PNG file from Illustrator via "Save for Web" and then try to open it in PS, the app crashes (endless beachball delight).
    The same happened with a GIF file from AI. Only JPEG files work. Is this a recurrent problem and, if yes, why?
    When I do the same at home with CS3, everything is fine.

    Meanwhile, I get a spinning beachball in any CS4 app whenever trying
    to open or save files, so I suspect a network issue (I'm on a large network).
    To your question: I'm trying to open a file in PS which I created in AI. This is quite common practice. Open, paste, place or whatever. It's all the same result.
    I already did the basic system maintenance. I don't think trashing prefs will be of any use as the same problem now also occurs in Fireworks and AI.
    Update: I localized the problem to either the network or the external Firewire drive I use for Time Machine. It's from the infamous LaCie brand and has already caused trouble with the finder.
    2nd update: When the network and the drive are disconnected, all open and save problems go away *but* the one with opening PNGs in PS when they were created in AI.

  • CS4 crashes when trying to open/save files

    when i try to open or save a file, cs4 crashes i cant figure out what to do!! plz help me. thanx

    Might be a long shot but perhaps worth trying -- check the display driver.  I've encountered occasional crashes only on File > Open.   Crash occurs when PS is reading and opening the selected file.  Then when next I open PS CS4 after the crash I get a message "Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver, and has temporarily disabled GPU enhancements."
    But this is on an older system that does not have GPU, and GPU enhancements were never enabled in preferences.  Should I try to enable GPU enhancements, the mouseover in Preferences > Performance for GPU settings properly reports that graphics hardware acceleration is unavailable.  When I go to this same Preferences > Performance panel on the first PS launch after the crash, it reports that Photoshop has disabled GPU.
    This is on XP SP3 system, version4 11.0.1.  I do not know if this would be related to the OP's reported problem.  I do have a drwtsn32.log and dump if it would be of use.

  • Application manager freezing when trying to open Photoshop

    I was in Bridge and tried to open photos in camer raw.   Photoshop would never open.   I looked and Abobe  manager was not responded.  So I tried a couple more times, and still didn't work.  After saying multiple cusswords I untistalled Adobe Application manager and then downloaded it.   After downloading I got an error "The Application Install can't be opened -1712".   So how do I fix this?

    Did you register it? Then you can log into your account and retrieve it there.
    The serial number to license the software is what you pay for. Always keep serial numbers in a safe place with backups.

  • Safari freezes when trying to open files.

    I am trying to open files on my computer through Safari. I am trying to open a file through Avery.com, but it's not Avery that is the problem, I don't believe. All I have to do is open Safari, click on File>Open File, and the same thing happens every time: it freezes. I've never had a problem with it before until now and I am extremely frustrated.
    The "Open File" window pops open and all the iMovies start to try to load up. Well, I don't want to open iMovies, I want to open a file that is on my desktop. But I can't click on "desktop;" I can't click on anything. The little rainbow-colored icon starts spinning and Safari freezes up. I thought maybe the computer was just trying to load a bunch of videos, so I went away for a while (nearly an hour), but when I came back, that stupid rainbow-colored disc was still spinning away and I had to force a "quit."
    I have restarted the computer, I have updated the computer, I have checked the Internet Plug-ins (of which I have none. Is this because I emptied the cache and deleted all history? I thought maybe that would help safari, but it didn't), and now I have no idea what to do.
    Thanks for any and all help.

    Hi,
    Check Safari/Preferences - Extensions.
    And empty the Safari cache either from the menu bar, Safari/Empty Cache or Command + Option + E on your keyboard.
    And try restarting your Mac.

  • Iphoto freezes when trying to open a particular slideshow

    When using Iphoto the program freezes to a spinning beach ball when selecting or trying to open a particular slideshow, other slideshows work OK. How do I delete the slideshow?

    back up and rebuild your iPhoto library - launch iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) and command (apple) keys and use the first three options
    Just tried rebuilding the thumbnails like you suggested and still no luck.
    If you used the first three options you rebuilt the entire library - not just the thumbnails - did you select all three or did you select only rebuild thumbnails?
    You need to rebuild the library - not just the thumbnails

  • Firefox freezes when trying to open new Youtube Videos, what can I do?

    I run Firefox 19.0.2 and the latest Flash plugin. All of a sudden Firefox freezes when I try to open Youtube videos. I can only kill it with ctrl+alt+del.
    Note that I CAN watch Youtube videos that are saved as favorites and I also CAN watch videos I click as related videos. However whenever I use the search bar and click a new video I haven't watched before, Firefox will freeze over and over again.
    I already tried disabling the hardware acceleration, as well as deleting the cache and varying cache size.
    I also tried re-setting the dom.ipc config settings as stated here:
    https://support.mozilla.org/de/questions/909133
    So far, nothing would do the trick.
    Your help is much appreciated, thanks a lot! :)

    Thanks Cor-el!! It's over!

  • Pages app freezes when trying to open .doc file

    Hello everyone!
    Recently I faced the problem with opening .doc files originally created in Word for Windows in Pages. If the .doc file contains any table, Pages app constantly freezes trying to open it so I have to Force quit it. It happened with few documents containing tables. If the .doc file contains no tables everything works OK.
    I've tried to open files created in Word 2003 and 2007 for Windows. My iWork's version is 4.0.3 (766).
    Can anyone help me please?

    Hi Old-cockatoo
    Welcome to the forum.
    Try altering the format/ing of the original file and see what may be the cause. e.g. Try saving to .rtf.
    Check if there are unsupported features in the Word tables, such as rotated text in cells or a rotated page. Essentially look for variances that could trigger the problem.
    Also look for alternatives to Pages:
    http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/viewtopic.php?t=47&mforum=iworktipsn trick
    Pages is not a full substitute for MsWord despite what Apple suggests, implies, hints, intimates, signals, presupposes, infers, signals, says indirectly, gives you to understand… but doesn't actually say if you read the fine print.

  • Slow perfomarnce and freezes when trying to open Microsoft Publisher after refresh/reboot

    Hi,
    I just bought my HP laptop 2 months ago. Everything was okay, fast and really convenient until few days ago, upon turning on, it prompted a message saying I needed to refresh it. So I did, and afterwards, all my installed applications like skype, internet browsers, etc., were gone. I tried installing the apps again and everything went smoothly though a little slower. I thought I needed to update some applications for better performance, so I checked for some and tried installing them.
    Then yesterday, when I tried to open Microsoft Publisher, my laptop just suddenly froze. The mouse and keyboard didn't work so I had to turn it off using the main power switch. And everytime, I turned it on, everything was just slow.
    Can you help me fix the problem? Also, can you help me speed up its performance?
    Thanks a lot in advance.
    This question was solved.

    Hi @blissss ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I will do my best to assist you. I have read about your HP 14-r024tx Notebook and having slow speeds. Thank you for all the information about what is happening.
    Something is slowing the Notebook down. Did you install some virus protection or a firewall? If you disable this are your speeds better. I had a DVD in my Notebook that slowed the startup process a lot. You might want to check that.
    Here is a document on improving your system. 
    Make sure all updates have been completed in the control panel or click the Windows key and start typing PC settings, then go to update.
    Please let me know how this goes.
    Thanks.

  • Safari freezes when trying to open Facebook

    Has any else had this problem? It also freezes when I try to login to retrieve my e-mails on comcast.net. Safari is version 6.0.5

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Adobe Flash Professional CS4 freezes when trying to save

    It doesn't exactly freeze, but the only option is to force quit Adobe Flash Pro CS4 when I open the save dialog on OS X. This results in every project ever being lost.
    I can export but I cannot Save As. The window opens but no options are clickable, and I can't Cancel.
    Help.
    Edit:
    I have had this problem for two years and I even reinstalled deleted all preference files, no luck.
    Running latest version of Mountain Lion.
    I can use the entire app (like change workspace type or menus) but I can't do anything that's greyed out, Save or cancel the Save As... box.

    I meant the File->Save option should not be gray if you "make a change" anywhere in the document. I only have access to an OSX Server remotely to illustrate this point so SimpleText should help you understand what I mean by a grayed out menu item:
    The big red arrow.
    You can get to the Save As dialog so clearly grayed out menu items wasn't the issue. Moving on..
    Your screenshot buttons may be unresponsive but they also aren't "grayed out". Here's a Save dialog with a truely grayed out button:
    Your button is not grayed out.
    Accurately describing your issue here will help quite a bit. The "save crash" issue has been so rampant it's the first suggestion I had so I offered it. Often repairing the FLA fixed the saving mechanism.
    In your case I honestly haven't come across your issue so I have no more suggestions outside reinstall Flash completely.  Good luck.

  • Recently upgraded from Firefox 3.6.13 to Firefox 13 - freezes when trying to open

    I've been using firefox 3.6.13 for some time now; the reason I have such an older version is because it's for a work computer, and an upgrade to newer versions generally isn't seamless and can interrupt the process of work.
    Any way, I find some down time and decided that I'd upgrade to the latest version of firefox. Every thing seemed to install fine, and it copied over all of my addons apparently (which I'm grateful for). How ever, when opening up Firefox it opens and displays two tabs saying "connecting", but nothing happens beyond that. It just freezes completely providing the "waiting" icon when hovering over it. I tried waiting 10+ minutes for what ever process was holding up to complete, but nothing happened. In order to close out of firefox I need to kill the process in task manager.
    I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but the same issue occurs. I tried looking for previous, more stable, versions of firefox but couldn't find any thing.

    Problems with Flash content can be caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update.
