All image editing software stopped working in 10.5

While performing a file transfer from my camera the program I was using, PictureProject unexpectedly quit. Following that it quit immediately upon every re-launch, however all the files had been transferred. The next day I attempted to launch Picture Project again and it quit while unresponsive. After that I tried Adobe Photoshop CS4 and Fireworks, both bounced in the dock as if to launch, then would stop and on the control-click said "Application Not Responding." After that I tried PictureProject again, now it failed to launch without an error message and would not force quit. I restarted several times with "P" "R". Then I tried using the disk utility from the start-up disk, a "volume mounting(?)" damage was repaired. I also repaired permissions, then restarted. The problem was not fixed. Then I tried accessing the applications from a guest account rather than my user account, nothing worked, I also discoverd that iPhoto is unresponsive.
I am now downloading the 10.5.8 Combo Update to see if that fixes the problem.
This is my first time posting to the forums so I apologize if I posted in the wrong section.
Has anyone else experienced this problem with their raster-based image editors? Preview continues to function normally, as does Adobe Illustrator. Any tips on fixing this issue?

It sounds like your hard drive is dying. Make sure you have a good backup.

    Sydneybling it does sound like your security software is interfering with the process of installing and utilizing your Adobe Creative applications.  I would recommend that you try temporarily disabling your security software and utilizing the directions listed at Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html to install InDesign CC.

  • Deskjet F2235 All-In-One has stopped working

    Hi,
    My all-in-one has stopped working. I purchased it new at Christmas 2008 and have only printed 2 test pages, but now when I turn it on all the lights on the front panel light-up & my PC says the printer is off-line. I cannot even get it to turn off by the on/off switch... I have to pull the mains plug from the back.
    - I have un-installed & re-installed the software twice without improvement.
    - I have replaced the USB cable without improvement.
    My PC is a 2.4GHz Celeron 2 with 512 Mb RAM, XP Home SP3, 80Gb hard drive with 7Gb free.
    Any ideas ?
    Thanks in advance.

    seems like a hardware issue. can you please follow THIS document and see which lights are blinking, and do the corresponding troubleshooting and see what happens?

  • Blackberry Desktop Software - Stops working at the end of synchronization

    During synchronization, the same handful of calendar conflicts come up.  After clearing them, and at the very end of synchronization, I get a pop up that "Desktop Software stopped working"...info fades out and the only option is to hit a CLOSE button which shuts down the software. 
    I no longer receive the synchronization report and although most data does sync, I am trying to determine the cause of this.
    This is the only forum I can find.  I do not see a Blackberry support anywhere...

    Hello,
    What is the version of the BlackBerry Desktop Software?
    Have you tried to uninstall the Desktop Software and download and re-install the newest version of BlackBerry Desktop Software?
    BlackBerry Desktop Software:
    http://ca.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/

    I have edited the post, the previous post indicated "Device" Software which was a typo for "Desktop" Software.

  • Image editing software

    I'm not sure if this is the right forum to ask, but...
    I'm looking for imaging editing software that, in addition to having layers, has both of the following:
    1) Clone tool
    2) A filter or effect that turns digital photos into oil-painting images
    Preferably something other than Adobe, and something that costs about $70 or less.
    Can anyone suggest something? A Google search proved fruitless; almost impossible to find anything that definitively says it has both.

    Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac ($80 or so)
    Pixelmator ($59. Download it from the Pixelmator site)
    GIMP (Free. Download it from GIMP on OS X. The complete description of the software, features & documentation is on the main GIMP site.)
    All three support layers, cloning, many effects including oil-painting

  • Lenovo T61p-6457 has all of a sudden stopped working!

    My Lenovo T61p-6457 has all of a sudden stopped working.
    When I power it up I see the that power and HDD green lights go on and from another computer on my network I can access individual files on the T61p hdd.  
    However when I connect the T61p via VGA cable to an external working monitor I don't see Windows or any images on the external screen!
    Do you think that there is only a problem with the screen or could there be something else?
    The currently installed screen on the T61p 6457 is WSXGA 1680x1050 (Samsung LTN154P2-LO5).
    I have found a working WUXGA 1920 x 1200 along with inverter and cable in the original Lenovo T61p top case housing - will this work in my T61p?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Good day.
    When you boot your machine, are you getting any beeps? If so, please post back with the sequence (# of long and short).

  • How do you delete entire folders of pictures in the image editing software instead of one at a time!

    Don't know how I did it, but I imported 11,000 pictures into the new image editing software - none of which I took with my new powershot sx50 hs.  I can only delete the ONE AT A TIME - HELP!!  Anyway to delete entire folders? 

    Thank you for your reply.  I did not get an 'advanced guide' on the CD... I just got 89 page user guide.
    About deleting, you can not select multiple pics (by holding control key).  You can only delete ONE at a time.  I don't have time to delete 11, 137 pictures.
    OH MY!  Love the camera but paid too much for it not to be able to use the software.  Thanks again.

  • Adobe digital editions has stopped working??

    I have been using ADE to read library ebooks, and the 2.0 version has never worked for me- I have always got the error message "Adobe digital editions has stopped working" as soon as I try to open it. I have been using the older version 1.7.2, but now it will no longer let me use this version and forces me to download an upgrade. I have tried 2.0 and 3.0 and both get the same error message. I have tried reinstalling and allowing through my firewall but I still keep getting the message. Does anyone know how I can fix this please??

    When you open the ADE 2x/3x, It tries to load the books' details from the "My Digital Editions" folder (in "My documents") for the library view. If any of the book is corrupt, It fails to open correctly.
    I am guessing this is the issue.
    Can you try the following:
    Backup the "My Digital Editions" folder and then remove this folder.
    Now open the ADE. Hopefully, It will work.
    If it does, you can open the books from the Backed up folder.
    I hope it helps.

  • My MacBook Pro will not connect to my home wifi but will connect everywhere else. My other Apple devices (I-pad, I-touch, another MacBook Pro) connect to the router without problems. It was working fine but all of a sudden stopped working.Thanks!

    My MacBook Pro will not connect to my home wifi but will connect everywhere else. My other Apple devices (I-pad, I-touch, another MacBook Pro) connect to the router without problems. It was working fine but all of a sudden stopped working.Thanks!

    try this.
    get back into your router's settings and start deleting devices that are not connected to your router.
    you can also delete the ones that are connected - they'll connect again.
    on the DHCP side of it, increase the amount of users that can connect/log in to your router.
    see if that sorts it out for you.
    good luck.

  • My camera all of the sudden stopped working. What is going on?

    My camera all of the sudden stopped working. What is going on?

    if by camera you are referring to iSight, here is how to troubleshoot:
    Built-in iSight cameras
    These steps are for iSight cameras that are built into a computer, such as the iMac G5 (iSight) or later, the MacBook, or MacBook Pro.
    See if the issue is application-specific.
    Try another application (iSight works with applications like iChat, PhotoBooth, and iMovie HD 6) to see if the iSight camera exhibits the same behavior in all applications. If it only happens in one application, try reinstalling that application.
    See if the issue is user-specific.
    Test your iSight camera in another user account. If the issue only occurs in one user, the issue would be isolated to user settings.
    Find out if the computer recognizes the iSight
    Check System Profiler (in the Utilities folder, inside the Applications folder). Under the USB header, check to see if the iSight camera is detected.
    Reset SMC or PMU
    Reset your computer's SMC or PMU, and then check System Profiler again. (SMC reset instructions for iMac G5 (iSight), Intel-based iMacs; PMU reset instructions for MacBook and MacBook Pro.)
    If your built-in iSight camera is still not behaving correctly after trying all these steps, you may need to contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.
    Standalone iSight cameras
    The instructions in this section apply if you have an iSight camera that is not built into your computer but attaches to the computer via a FireWire cable.
    Make sure the cable is completely plugged in.
    Incomplete cable connections are the most common cause of hardware problems. Follow these quick instructions to make sure your iSight cable is completely plugged in.If your iSight camera continues to function improperly, continue on to the steps below.
    Turn the computer and the camera off.
    Unplug the FireWire cable from your computer and the camera.
    Wait a few seconds.
    Firmly, without forcing, plug the cable back in to the camera and the computer.
    Caution: FireWire ports are keyed so the FireWire cable can only be inserted one way. Make sure you are inserting the FireWire cable into the FireWire port in the correct orientation.
    Restart your computer.
    If the green light on top of the iSight is not lit, turn on the camera by gently twisting the lens.
    Launch iChat AV.
    See if a different FireWire port works.
    Some Macs have more than one FireWire port. If your computer has another FireWire port, disconnect the iSight camera from the current port and plug it into the other one. Restart your computer and test the camera before continuing to step three.
    Check to see if other FireWire devices work.
    If you have another FireWire device, such as a video camera or an external hard drive, try plugging it into your computer to see if it works. If your other FireWire devices work, this means that your computer's FireWire port is working correctly. If your other FireWire devices don't work, there may be an issue with your computer. Contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider for assistance.
    Determine if there is an incompatibility with another FireWire device.
    If more than one FireWire device is connected to your computer, there may be an incompatibility between two of the devices. To rule this out, disconnect all other FireWire devices from the computer, including external hard drives, CD/DVD drives, other cameras, and FireWire-based networking equipment, such as hubs and repeaters. If your iSight camera works normally when you remove other FireWire devices, plug them back in one at a time to isolate the cause of the issue.
    Make sure the FireWire cable is good.
    Follow these steps to test the FireWire cable:Information about your iSight camera should appear in the FireWire Information field. If you see the iSight camera in this field, your cable is good. Once you've confirmed the cable you are using is good, use it to plug your iSight into your computer. If the green light on the top of the camera does not light up immediately (within a second), there may be an issue with your camera. Fill out an iSight Service Request to have your camera repaired.
    Important: Do not send your iSight camera for repair until you have tried each troubleshooting step.If the FireWire cable that came with your iSight camera didn't work, try another FireWire cable that you know works. If this cable works, there is an issue with your iSight's FireWire cable. If your camera is in the limited warranty period, fill out an iSight Service Request to receive a replacement cable.
    Choose About This Mac from the Apple menu.
    Click More Info. System Profiler opens.
    In the System Profiler window, click on the Devices and Volumes option.
    Click the disclosure triangle, if necessary, in the FireWire Information area.
    Check to see if there is an issue with your camera.
    If information about your iSight appears in System Profiler but the camera still does not work, follow these steps:Video from your iSight camera should appear on screen. If the screen is blue or black, there may be an issue with the camera. Fill out an iSight Service Request to have your camera repaired.
    Open iChat AV.
    Choose Preferences from the iChat menu.
    Click the Video button.
    Twist the front of the iSight camera lens to open the iris barrier. The green light on the camera turns on when the iris barrier is open.

  • Wifi has all of a sudden stopped working Iphone4

    The other day i was browsing the net and my wifi all of a sudden stopped working.
    I went to turn it back on but it just kept loading.
    Sometimes when the wifi does turn on its for 5 seconds and turns off again.
    Ive tried "reset network settings" and "reset all settings" turning it off and everything. Forgeting it then trying again.
    But it still wont work.

    If no change after resetting network settings on the iPhone, try restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup.
    If no change after that, the iPhone has a hardware problem.

  • I am using Aperture 3 now and I love it. But I would like to purchase or download perhaps some freeware, easy to use photo imaging/editing software with more filters, perhaps layering etc. My Apple mentor suggests Pixelmator or Gimp ?

    I am using Aperture 3 now and I love it. But I would like to purchase or download perhaps some freeware, easy to use photo imaging/editing software with more filters, perhaps layering etc. I don't want something with a very steep learning curve, getting to old for that. My Apple mentor suggests Pixelmator or Gimp ? Are there some others out there? When I was still in the Windows world, I used Photoshop Elements but that is now in my past. Any ideas?

    Pixelmator or Gimp are both nice tools for advanced image processing and compositing. I.e. Gimp can do pretty much the same as Phtoshop. You might also have a look at digikam  http://www.digikam.org/drupal/download/binary
    Digikam is not just an advanced image processing and compositing program, it is also content management system like Aperture or iPhoto.
    I also find GraphicConverter a nice tool, but it is not free.
    If you want your image editing tools to integrate well with Aperture, I would look first at the available plug-ins, start with the plug-ins offered in the Aperture pull-down menu
    Aperture -> Aperture Plug-ins...
