Annoying bug - program crashes when "Paste as Background" is used

Guys, I have a nasty bug which is making edits VERY time-consuming, and I'm hoping that someone can help.
When I wish to replace a slide background, either with a new background copied from Paint, or from another slide (using the Copy Background function), it basically crashes every single time if I try and perform this more than once. (ie. I can change one background, save, close down the program entirely, restart, and I'm fine. If I try to do a second "paste as background", the screen freezes up badly, the slide being pasted into in filmstrip view goes white, and I cannot save the changes, though it appears to save. See the images below.
It's gotten worse as the project has increased in size. It's now pretty big - 182 slides - though I would have expected the software to handle it. It was occurring noticeably when the project was only 50 odd slides though.
Thanks guys
Lynton
1) I copy.
2) I paste.
3) It's crashed. Screen frozen, slide being pasted into white in filmstrip view. Saving is not possible.
4) If I restart the entire program it works OK again and I can retrieve the project up to the PRIOR save (ie. I lost work!!). If I close just that project I get the following error, and I can't open effectively. This error presumably holds the key to what just went wrong with the crash.

Hi there
Sorry, but once you surpassed about 65 slides you entered the danger zone. Frankly, I'm surprised that's the only issue you are seeing with that many slides!
The recommendation is to keep projects somewhere between 50-65 slides.
Bottom line is that you need to break the project apart into different sections and make smaller segments you link together.
Cheers... Rick

BUG: Program crashes when trying to edit Capture Date

For some reason a few photos have bad (seriously bad) dates. Whenever I try to edit these using the edit capture date feature in the metadata menu, the program crashes.

Hmm.. what is "seriously bad date"? Month has more than 31 days? Not only numeric characters there in date?
Anyway, I can imagine only two scenarious seeing in LR:
1. LR shows uncorrect date (as you expect),
2. LR doesn't show capture date at all.
Workaround:
1. Check with some another exif reader what's really written in image file,
2. Image doesn't contain capture date tag at all or capture date doesn't conform to exif standard (was messed with some exif tool or image editor). Again check with some exif reader (ExifTool recommended).

After the latest Security Update 2012-001 (Mac OS X 10.6.8) my Adobe Photoshop CS 8, Dreamweaver 8, and InDesign CS programs crash when I try to save a file.

After the latest Security Update 2012-001 (Mac OS X 10.6.8) my Adobe Photoshop CS 8, Dreamweaver 8, and InDesign CS programs crash when I try to save a file. HELP!!!

Howdy,
Apparently some are reporting that this causes the older PowerPC (PPC) applications that are supported in 10.6 via 'Rosetta' to crash upon attempting to open/save/print using any dialog box, or fail in other similar ways such as simply not printing or quitting, or freezing/hanging/crashing of the application.
I have read of some companies that have indeed submitted proper bug reports to Apple, but that is not a guarantee of a bug-fix being issued.
You might wish to read:
http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/snowleopard/index.html#d02feb2012
If you are unsure if you are still using PowerPC apps, if the application is currently running, look under the 'Activity Monitior' (in Applications -> Utilities), or alternatively you could check in the System Profiler, Applications. Check the column "Type".
Here is a fairly simple way you can restore you system and restore you applications functionality again, if you don't have a recent clone or good Time Machine backup that you can restore from. If you do, restore from your backup prior to having installed the Security Update 2012-001.
Time Machine restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
If you are restoring a backup made by a Mac to the same Mac
With your backup drive connected, start up your Mac from the Lion recovery partition (Command-R at startup) or Mac OS X v10.6 installation disc. Then use the "Restore From Time Machine Backup" utility. Select the backup prior to your issues, and it will be restored back to the state it was in at that time.
If you can't easily restore from a backup, you can instead do the following:
- You first start by reinstalling your OS X 10.6.x, this will preserve all your user data, your applications, no worries there.
- Then install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 (links provided below)
- Make sure you're printers are showing up correctly in your system preferences, if not, re-add the printers
- Then finally, run the Apple Software Update (by pulling down the Apple Menu), and install any and all remaining updates, except do not then re-install the Security Update 2012-001. It is possible that you may have to reboot after installing some of the updates, and you may even need to run it a 2nd time to make sure that you've got all updates, except NOT the Security Update 2012-001.
Links for 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1:

Hi my itunes program crashes when i try to access the itunes store. Have tried to uninstall and reinstall to no avail.

Hi my itunes program crashes when i try to access the itunes store. Have tried to uninstall and reinstall to no avail.

Me too - running iTunes 10.5.3 on Windows 7. Will allow me to sign in to iTunes, download app updates and then if I either close iTunes or try to sign out of my iTunes account it all freezes. So frustrating, because my understanding is that iTunes saves the library file when exiting. So, everytime I update apps I lose all the downloads.

My program crashes when I use OCIHandleAlloc

My program crashes when I pressure test, I think it maybe I did not use it properly.

Hi, i have noticed something.... it seems like the sound card has nothing to do with the problem, because i also have my system hanging when i use my modem (which is also a pci device), so i guess that the problem is someway related to the pci bus, can anyone help me???
The system works fine when i don't use the sound card or the modem, if i put some music it hangs before the first song ends, and with the modem it takes like 30 miutes to freeze, and i have to reboot.
Wish someone can help me.

InDesign crashes when pasting from another application

I encounter a persistent error. It initially started when pasting text from MS Word 2010. I tried various options - with and without formatting etc - the result is the same, ID crashed.
I even tried to paste into Notepad first, but the problem persists even when pasting plain text.
Any advise is appreciated.

Crashing when pasting plain text from notepad lets Word off the hook, I think, and means we need to look for a differnt problem on the system.
Let's start by finding out the version of ID you are using (including the patch level) and the operating system. Do you have a font manager installed? how about any third party plugins for ID?
Does this happen if you try to paste text into a new document? How about if you create a new user account and use that?

Installed ADE, authorized mac computer, successfully downloaded ebook but program crashes when click to read

can anyone help, have authorized mac with ADE installed, book downloaded into ADE library but program crashes
when I try to open book to read. deleted first download and downloaded again, same result, any ideas?
thx, chengen

Same prob on Mac OS X 10.10.1 with ADE 4.0. Crashes 2 out of 3 times and when it does crash it creates epubs that have 0 pages and are corrupt when viewed in iBooks.
Downgraded to ADE 1.7 using this discussion (ACSM files cause Adobe Digital Editions to crash) and now it works without crashing and downloads new ACSM bookmarks fine. BUT... when I reauthorized the new version of the program I lost access to the previously checked-out books (the ACSM files created errors).
At least it effing works now with new checkouts.

"Error Compiling Movie: Unknown Error" or program crash when rendering

I just built a new PC because my Macbook Pro couldn't render fast enough. Now that I have built this brand new computer, I can't render at all! I render once and get the "Error Compiling Movie: Unknown Error" and if I try to render again, the program crashes.
My files are not corrupt as I can render them without problems on my laptop (just slowly) and on a friend's PC. I can export fine but the project I am working in is currently very small. I have 450gb of space and when using After Effects, rendering is a breeze. I have restarted, uninstalled and reinstalled and nothing seems to be doing the trick.
I feel like this must be a bug in Premiere Pro CC. Has anyone had this problem and/or come up with any solutions?

You may have more luck getting help with this kind of problem on the AME forum. Or at least have a look at this page from the AME forum prompting you for the information that can help in isolating the cause of this problem: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1011883.

Programs crash when accessing scanner

I recently upgraded to 10.4.4 and since then have not been able to access my Canon 5000F scanner from any program. Any program that attempts to start up the scanner will crash. I have the latest driver for the scanner..Scangear 8.0.2 and the latest software for all applications. Not sure what could be causing the program crashes. Also I have noticed that my DataPilot software will crash while attempting to read the phones. Not sure if this is related or possibly a clue to the main cause of the problems.
Thanks for your help in advance!!!

I am having the same problem with 10.3.9 after I upgraded from 10.2.8. I also have the latest Canon software and drivers, but when I try to access the scanner from either Photoshop or Toolbox, the program crashes. This is very annoying and there doesn't seem to be any info at Canon on how to resolve this issue. ANY IDEAS?

Program crashes when I try to load EPUB/ASCM ebook file or transfer the file to Nook ereader.

I recently checked out an ebook from my library's OverDrive and downloaded the EPub file to my Mac OS 10.10.1 computer. File downloaded to computer without incident, showing up as a acsm file in my Downloads folder. But when I attempt to open the file in Adobe Digital Editions 4.0.2 in order to transfer it to my Nook ereader, a message comes up saying it is fulfilling (similar to normal) but then the program crashes.
I get this error message:
(Adobe Digital Editions quit unexpectedly.
Click Reopen to open the application again. Click Report to see more
detailed information and send a report to Apple.
With buttons that say: Ignore Report Reopen)
Then when I reopen Adobe Digital Editions, it appears as thought the file is in the Adobe Digital Editions browser, but if I click on it to open it or try and transfer it to my Nook ereader device the program crashes again. (Same error message)
I've tried erasing the file and redownloading the ebook from Google Chrome, Safari and Firefox and the same thing happens. I've also tried restarting my computer and looking for updates to resolve the issue (there were none). I've used this program before with no issues, so this problem is new. I've also tried opening other files since, they most of those seem to open as well.I've used this program before with no issues, so this problem is new.
Running out of ideas. Please help!

Mike, that worked -- I think! I couldn't change the printer without a document open, but while I was in the File menu, I noticed the "Browse in Bridge" command, and it occurred to me that I hadn't tried opening a file from Bridge. It opened first to the templates, and I realized I had not tried opening a template. So I did, that worked, and I changed the printer from where it was set (Adobe pdf) to my regular printer. Now I can create new files, and all files seem to open without a problem. Thanks!

Programs Crashing when Closing without Saving

Everytime I cose a document (no matter what Program I am using), when the Save/Don't Save/Cancel dialog box pops up the Program crashes. It also happens when I try to Log Out and the countdown timer pops up.
I mostly use Photoshop, but ths happens with other apps like Textedit.
Dual 1.8 GHz PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Aouto recovery is not really the same as an auto-save, either. You don't necessarily get the last state before the program closed (a force quit would do an auto-recovery, too, on restart) because the the recovery data is not updated in real time.

Setup program crashes when you try to install a 2007 Office on a 64-bit version of Windows 7

Hello there,
I have a Dell Vostro machine with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit installed on it. It came with Office 2010 preinstalled on it. About 6 months ago I removed Office 2010 and installed Office 2007 with no problems. Yesterday a user messed up her office so badly
that I had to uninstalled it in an attempt to reinstall to ensure that all missing files exist. A few seconds after selecting my options, the installation program crashes. I tried it with a few different users logged in to make sure it's something related
to the profile of the user I was logged in as.
Just to be clear, this is the same Office 2007 installation that was installed correctly on it about 6 months ago and the same product key.
Why is this happening and how can I fix this issue without having to restore the computer to its default state?
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you,

Hi,
Please refer to this kb, use Microsoft Fix it 50154 to uninstall Office 2007 completely:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928218/en-us
Then try installing again.
We can also perform a clean boot to install, which gets rid of the background program conflicts:

Firefox 31.0 bug - FF crashes when trying to print Amazon web pages

Using Mac OS 10.6.8. Firefox crashing issue just started occurring for me after updating to FF 31.0 on 8-5-14. Prior to that FF has always worked perfectly for me with no printing issues or any other issues. Luckily FF does not crash when printing anything else. All other web pages work well so far except for Amazon.
Tried many different listings on Amazon but I get the same result; instant crash. Command P brings up the Print Window successfully, but as soon as I make the choice to Print, Preview or Save as a pdf, FF crashes. (By the way, my Safari browser works perfectly when printing these same web pages on Amazon. No crashes.)
Tried every single one of the Help suggestions regarding the printer settings, preferences, and other help suggestions for crashing issues but they made no difference at all. Cleared my FF cookies and cache, cleared my system and user caches, updated Flash Player and checked that all plugins were up-to-date, ran Disk Utility to repair permissions, and reset PRAM, but no luck.
Decided to reset FF last night but that resulted in no change at all. FF still crashes when attempting to print from Amazon. I reported this issue to Amazon, and they said they would contact Mozilla about it too. Thank you.

We're sorry to hear that Firefox is crashing. In order to assist you better, please follow the steps below to provide us crash IDs to help us learn more about your crash.
#Enter ''about:crashes'' in the Firefox address bar and press Enter. A Submitted Crash Reports list will appear, similar to the one shown below.
#Copy the '''5''' most recent Report IDs that start with '''bp-''' and then go back to your forum question and paste that into the "Post a Reply" box. (Please don't take a screenshot of your crashes, just copy and paste the ID's. The below image is just an example of what your Firefox screen should look like)

All office programs crash when I click on the File menu

I can open files in every program fine but as soon as I go to the File Menu it puts up the "program" is not responding box
Excel, Word and PowerPoint all crash when trying for the File Menu.
Outlook will let me go to the File Menu but if I click on Office Account then it will crash. I have uninstalled and reinstalled once already.

Hi,
Since you have re-installed Office, this issue may conflict with some other 3rd-party applications. We can check if Office still crash in clean boot mode.
About how to perform a clean boot, please refer to this KB.

Bug report: Crash when reconnecting files and Suggestion

I installed PSE 10.0 and my files had moved from D: to C:. I attempted the Reconnect Missing Files, and the program would consistently crash. It did however connect files before crashing, so I was able to keep restarting and getting the job done. I have over 25K files scattering across various folders. Please fix this problem.
Suggestions:
1. In the manual reconnect, PLEASE place the full path in the path column, allowing me to really sort by path.
2. Do NOT reset the listbox when I connect a file. This really slows the process down. Please attempt to leave it in the same relative position.
3. In the files view, please allow a drop with the same folder name. A confirmation would be OK (with a don't ask again, please).
Thanks for the great product, I hope these help keep the quality high.

yes. i repaired disk and diskwarriored it too. something seems off with my external lacie drive. when the .stmp reconnects to the media on my lacie it crashes. when it reconnects to the media while on my internal g5 drive its fine. weird. thanks for the suggestion.
