Bridge CS5 Freezes when trying to preview mp3

There are a few folders on my drive that have mp3's in them which, when I try to browse into the folder and click on the mp3 - bridge freezes. I have to restart Bridge. Other folders work fine. What is happening?

All is ok on that front. Default is itunes/qt. Other folders with mp3 preview fine. Something about these particular files is freezing up bridge

Bridge CS5 freezes when using 'reveal in explorer'

Bridge CS5 freezes when you select a file and try to "reveal in explorer". The command does work, it does reveal the file in explorer but then the bridge window turns white and freezes. It usually doesn't happen in the first time you click 'reveal in explorer', but if you do it enough (3x or more) bridge will freeze eventually.
I'm going back to Bridge CS4.
*I'm using Bridge CS5 on windows 7 Professional 64 bit

This sounds like a memory thing. Check the spare space on the HD (it should never be more than 75% full), defrag the harddrive, clean out your trash bin,check to see if you paging file is installed, and your RAM is working properly.

CS 3 Bridge crashes / freezes when trying to run the slideshow feature

A while back I deactivated Photoshop CS3 that was installed on my laptop. Then this past week I went to reinstall it again. One thing I noticed was that the PS-CS3 and Bridge Icons were still residing on my desktop. I went into the "add/remove programs" and sure enough there was PS-CS3 sitting there. So I tried to do an uninstall first. When I clicked the tab to do a remove program it just sat there. I contacted Adobe Tech support and they sent me the script to to an uninstall. It worked, the Icons went away and so I proceded to do a new install. I entered the serial numbers and activated it and all seemed well. Then I went into the Bridge, everything seemed ok there too. I was able to use the RAW converter, view thumbnails and the rest. Then I went to a specific folder where I had some files that were converted to JPEG to run the slideshow feature. That is when Bridge hung up and a few seconds later it closed the preview window that had opened for the slideshow preview.
Does this have something to do with the amount of RAM on my laptop? Or maybe the cache? I ask because I had never needed to use the slideshow feature until now and everthing seemed ok even prior to uninstalling and reinstalling.
I have 1 gig or ram... the hard drive is 350 gigabytes and there is a ton of room still available. The processor is ok. Oh also, I have Lightroom 2 installed on this machine too and it's slideshow feature runs fine. But I would prefer to use the slideshow feature in bridge.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated

Copy the jdev_home/jlib/redist/uix2_install.zip file to
jdev_home/jdev/redist folder . It will overwrite an existing uix2_install.zip file.
Close and open the Jdeveloper IDE. It will prompt you for upgradation of projects. Press OK button in response.
Now you should be able to run the JSP pages.

Bridge CS5 hangs when trying to move a file

I get the spinning beach ball when using the move file command in bridge. Any suggestions on how to resolve this? Both before and after Bridge Update from 4.0.0 to 4.0.4

Is there some kind of Bridge patch or update?
Yes, if you recently reinstalled Photoshop and Bridge, you MUST update both, as well as the Camera Raw (ACR) plug-in.

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?

Preview keeps freezing when trying to use sticky notes

Preview keeps freezing when trying to use sticky notes. I have forced quit it a number of times and also restarted my Macbook Air once to try to solve the problem. Does anyone have a solution?

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Quit Preview. Go to /Users/lloyd/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.plist and drag that folder to your Desktop then relaunch Preview.

Bridge CS5 crashes when opening

Joseph Heller would be proud.
Adobe Bridge, CS5 crashes when starting up. I downloaded Photoshop CS5 Extended, installed it on my new MacBook Air (this computer has never seen any CSx product). Installed the CS5 serial number, installed the SC4 legacy serial number, all is well. Photoshop runs fine. I installed all my Nik plugins and Bokeh Plugin. All is well. I tried running Bridge, and it crashes during the launch "The operation could not be completed. An unknown operating system error has occurred." Adobe released an update, which I downloaded, but during installation, it too crashed (couldn't perform the update and provided a link to Adobe support.
Fours hours later with Adobe. Tried:
1) Deleting the PLIST file for Bridge, no luck.
2) Tried the Option Bridge trick to reset all preferences in Bridge, no luck.
3) Created a new Admin account, logged into it, Bridge worked.
4) Adobe technical help said it is now an Apple problem since the program worked with the new admin account.
5) Apple said pound sand, it's an Adobe program, it should work regardless of which admin account.
6) Back to Adobe, talked to third level (still tier 1) person, it's an Apple problem. He suggested deactivating Photoshop, un-install Photoshop, run a clean script (which I just downloaded but haven't tried) which will wipe out any files that has to do with CS5 that the un-install program doesn't un-install (totally logical), re-download and re-install everything, again (I haven't tried this yet).
Doing a Google search for Bridge crashing while opening reveals a frightening amount of comments with people having similar problems (don't even get me started about Adobe Air).
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Arnie...

Guess I'll have to take it to the Apple store and have them reinstall everything. My first experience with Macs is making Microsoft look totally brilliand at this point. I guess the thing that has really ticked me off about this whole thing is that Apple support (who must obviously know of this kind of problem) wouldn't give me the time of day unless I paid $249 for their care plan because I was past my 90 day "warranty"
Sorry to hear that and yes, support from big companies is not what it should be, can't argue with that.
However assuming you did back up important files (if you had any in that short period) and you have all the serial numbers there should be no problem to install all of it your self again if needed.
If you keep pressing the on/off button on your machine it will get you a force Quit and the machine will shut down. The press again to restart and if no luck try to insert the install disk (but here i'm a bit at loss, don't use Lion yet and have not bought a new Mac for 3 years but I assume there is still an install or repair disk that comes with your MacBook??)
With the disk in the player keep pressing the 'c' key when starting the computer and the computer starts from the disk.
You can first use disk utility from the install disk and use the option to check and repair disk first.
It really is not difficult and you will be better off when experience installation by yourself and in no time don't need support anymore

Getting "layer break" error message when trying to Preview a single sided DVD, or build an ISO image or disk folder

Hi! Hoping someone might be able to help with an odd problem. I haven't found anything in the forums or the web that match my symptoms.
I've been using Encore CS6 (v6.0.1.013) on a MacBook retina over the past year to successfully create a number of single sided DVDs with menus, chapters, and all that. I usually make a copy of a previous DVD project, and then replace video assets with the new files and transcodes, move and rename chapter markers, and rework the menus in Photoshop. I then will build ISO images for both DVD and Blu-Ray (both single-sided), and use those to burn many copies of each DVD for clients.
This week, while developing one of these projects, when trying to build a DVD ISO image that looked like it would fit on a 4.7 GB DVD, I received the "layer break" message ("The chosen layer break does not satisfy dual layer requirements. To fix this, either set a new layer break manually, or choose to set layer break automatically.") because (I'm guessing) the material was too long for the 4.7 GB DVD (the Build screen now shows about 5GB of material are in the project). This is the first time I've seen that message - usually Encore just tells me the material is too big for the DVD.
I re-transcoded the material down to well under 4.7 GB (about 3.9 GB), reverted and replaced the transcoded files, and now the DVD build screen shows that there are about 700MB free on a 4.7 GB DVD. But I still have not been able to build any version of the DVD (image, folder, disc), without getting the "layer break" message. I also now get this same layer break message when trying to "Preview from Here" any menu, killing my ability to preview the DVD menus in Encore.
Just to see what would happen, I chose an 8.4GB Dual Layer DVD, and chose "manual" instead of "automatic" for the layer break selection, but never got the layer break selection dialog box, just the "layer break" error message.
I typically build both DVD and Blu-Ray images from the same material in the same project. I use different transcoding settings for each, and I have been able to build a Blu-Ray ISO without this "layer break" error on the Blu-Ray build (which is about 24.5GB when built). And as I mentioned before, this is the first project on which I've even seen this layer break message.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I'd rather not recreate the project from scratch, but I'm worried that I may have to.
Thanks
Jon

The total project being small enough may mean you have one layer that is too big. Both layers have to be smaller than half the disk, right?
Be sure you "run as administrator" for dual layer projects.
Encore may set the layer break correctly if it finds a good place, but there are numerous complaints about it being unreliable.
Build to a folder (no layer break is set), then use ImgBurn to build and ask to be prompted for layer break. ImgBurn is also unreliable under some circumstances.
The most frequent problems appear to be when there is no good location for a break. Do a search for "layer break imgburn" and you will see a variety of strategies.

Creative Zen Vision 30Gb Stuck in Recovery Mode, Freezes when trying to deal with Firmware

My Zen Vision is stuck in Recovery Mode. The PC recognizes it but it comes up as 50mb Storage Media. When you touch Reload Firmware or Format All, it freezes and you have to pull the battery out to shut it off. I don't know what to do. Charges fine, never said anything about HARDWARE issues, just can't get it to not freeze when trying to load firmware back onto it.

I did the same thing, my unit was working perfectly.
I just read that these players have a laptop 2.5 hard dri've installed in the unit. If this is true, the next chance I get, I will take my unit apart (40 gig nomad zen xtra) and see if I can reinstall the firmware directly. It's probably what they do at the repair sho

Ipod nano 5th generation freezes when trying to play a song or video

Within the last couple of day my ipod nano 5th generation started freezing whenever i tryed to play a song. Oly way i could turn it off was by resetting it, however it did not fix the problem and still freezes whenever i try to play a song. I have even restored it to factory setting and it does the exact same thing. I don't understand why it does this, does anyone know why it freezes and won't stop? i don't have any warrenty on it and want to know if it is fixable, because it just randomly started freezing when trying to play music. If any one knows why it would be appriacted to know.

Does this happen with any song or video you play? If so, then my best guess would be a hardware issue since a restore to factory settings did not resolve it.

Error when trying to Preview in CP7

A coworker is getting the following error when trying to preview a project in CP7. This project does not have any advanced actions but does have one system variable for slide number ($$cpinfoCurrentSlide$$) in a text box that runs for the project.
Here is the error message he is receiving.
Swf compilation failed.
Note: Please verify if any of the actionscript keywords is used as user variable name.
Thanks,
Susan
This project was built from a template but when I tested the template previewed fine.

Hi there,
Are you able to reproduce the issue consistantly with the project. Can you please ask your coworker to publish a blank project and see its working fine or not?. In case if the issue is project specific, then can you please send the .cptx file to us so that we can investigate the issue at our end. Please upload it to a shared workspace(Acrobat.com) and send me the link at [email protected]
Thanks,

IPhoto freezing when trying to import photos from iPhone

iPhoto has started freezing when trying to import photos from an iPhone. The device is recognised but just get "loading . . . " message with no photos appearing. Has anyone else seen this?

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

Error when trying to preview screen in screen file

A few of us are receiving an error when trying to 'preview' a screen via screen file in rulebase. A large error window pops up with about 30 lines of text in it. The window is 'Preview in Web Determinations'. It starts with:
class com.oracle.determinations.interview. engine.exceptions.CorruptSessionException: A unauthorised change to the Rule Session has been detected.
further down in error there are multiple lines starting org.apache.catalina ......
Has anyone seen this error, it's intermittent, not all screens, but once it's appeared for a particular screen, it won't stop (for that particular screen), even after re-boots etc.
Does anyone know how to fix it?
many thanks

Hi There,
I have faced this type of scenario and it will happen if we are in interview screen for long time with (inactive mode) and when we try to "Preview". You can try being at interview screen (some time inactive) and you can reproduce this type of Error.
Thanks,
Raj
