Canvas gets stuck

What does it mean when a white circle with a black X in it appears in the upper right part of the Canvas? Whenever that happens, the canvas gets stuck on a single frame and freezes up. Scrubbing the playhead back and forth in the Timeline then does nothing in the canvas; there is no motion there. I usually have to quit Final Cut Express and relaunch it to free up the canvas.
What's the deal there?
Tom

Thanks for the info, Tom. It's FCE 2.0.3, and yes, the canvas is set to "Fit to Window." All these clips have been in the project for a long time, so there's nothing to render.
I sometimes enlarge the Canvas window to see details better, and that seems to be when the Canvas most often gets stuck and freezes (with the X appearing). Do you suppose FCE can't keep up the frame rate in a larger window?
Anyway, if it is processing something, it never seems to get finished doing it. And when it gets stuck, I can't unstick it without quitting and restarting the program. While the canvas is frozen, no matter where I click on the Canvas' scrubber bar, the video in the Canvas won't jump to the new place. I can also run the playhead up and down the Timeline witn no effect on the Canvas. It remains well and truly jammed. Very annoying.

Canvas playback gets stuck after few seconds

Hi Guys, I'm posting this as my last chance to find some help. Recently I read tons of threads about choppy playback in FCP canvas but couldn't find anything useful.
I'm using unibody MBP 2.6 GHz, 4GB RAM. Latest Mac OS X version, latest FCP 7 version.
I'm trying to edit a footage captured by Canon 5D Mark II Camera. Using Compressor I downscaled the footage from Full HD to 1280x720 using Apple ProRes Codec. After importing into the FCP timeline it plays smoothly but if I do any change to the clip (speed change), canvas plays only 2 or 3 seconds of the clip, gets stuck while playhead is still moving and then when playhead reaches the end canvas shows the last frame of the clip. So when I wanna play the clip, canvas plays first few seconds then gets stuck and then shows me final frame.
You would probably need some more information about my sequence...if you do so, just ask.
Please, help me as I really need to finish this clip for my client.
Thanks

Yep, it is...I wanted to make my editing portable...I'm gonna move the clip to my FW800 HDD and let you know if that cause the problem.
Thanks

Photoshop Bug: Sliders getting stuck to mouse after release (Mac OS)

When dragging various sliders in Photoshop CS5, very often these sliders get "stuck" and move with the mouse even though you have released the mouse. Say you are dragging a slider to set the brush opacity to 50%. When you have set it to 50%, you release the mouse and move it away from the slider, only to find that the opacity still increases or decreases as you move your mouse. You have to click again to fix this, but then of course you have to go back and do it again.
Below is a small illustration (I can't take a screenshot of my mouse) of an example of when this happens:
This happens to me around once every 5 times I use a slider, i.e. extremely often. As you can imagine, it's very annoying and frustrating.
I use a Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet, and I never use Photoshop without it so I cannot confirm whether this bug happens with a mouse or just the tablet.
It doesn't just happen like on the above illustration, but also with any slider such as those in Adjustment Layers and Filters.
The bug does not happen when using tools on the canvas (thankfully). So the Brush tool, and every other tool, works fine and never gets "stuck".
I have the latest version of Photoshop CS5.
This is a bug that has always been in CS5 since the first version, and it has not been in previous versions of Photoshop.
Does anyone else have this issue? Anyone else with a Tablet?
I know there are large amounts of similar, extremely annoying bugs in CS5, but this one is just driving me crazy.
Late 2008 15" MacBook Pro
OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.7 (but the problem has existed way before 10.6.7)
Photoshop CS5 version 12.0.2

Chris—I'm sincerely sorry that you were called at home on a holiday weekend about my post. Sincerely. I'm sorry. That shouldn't have happened, and I apologize for that.
I do ask that you also understand that I spent my entire weekend trouble-shooting this issue—which is now several months old—while waiting for an answer or at least a respectful and helpful response of some sort. Here we are with another week down the tubes and still have yet to receive some sort of expression of an Adobe employee taking my case seriously. I don't know if you—or anyone else—is investigating this. As best I can tell, you are not—and I base that on the series of confusing (and in some cases, patently false) assertions that you made regarding the facts of this matter—including confidently promoting the notion that this is not a problem with Photoshop CS5 (which it clearly is), and the notion that I hadn't done anything to narrow down the list of possible causes—which I clearly have. If you disagree, as you claim to, with either of those statements—then the very least you (or someone at Adobe) can do is to take ten minutes out of your schedule to draft a proper, logical and honest assesment of why you have come to those conclusions. I don't think that's asking too much at all. In fact, it's very disappointing that I've had to expend as much effort as I have to deal with this issue—and I still don't have an official, "right on, we're working on it," from you guys.
If you want to make a case that it was abusive of me to telling you that Layer Styles was likely the cause of this issue—go right ahead. I admit that my entire statement was a bit "hot," but you have yet to even acknowledge the validity of my concern—much less the tremendous effort I've undertaken at my own personal expense (and at your/Adobe's benefit) to contribute to the resolution of this problem... or the real-world dollars and opportunity cost to my creative reputation. Do you have many other users who go to these lengths when identifying bugs? I doubt it. As I've told you in another thread—if you've heard from me, it's only after I've already expended significant effort trying to solve the problem on my own. I don't whine about stuff and ask other people to fix it, if I can fix it myself. But I can't. I'm not a programmer, and I don't know how to run any diagnostics on my own—although trust me—I've tried. I've tried Xcode, and learning Applescript to see if I could craft my own workaround or identify the issue with even greater clarity. But I don't know either of those technologies, and it's not work that I should be doing anyway. There is a reason that a CS5 Design Master license costs upwards of $2,500, right? I've gotten much more attentive and respectful response from free apps than I've gotten from Adobe over this issue. What is that license for, if not for respectful customer service?
I have never received a paycheck from Adobe, Chris. I receive (small) paychecks when I get my work done—which I have not been able to do for over a week now... and this is not the first time that has happened as a result of this bug. And the week before this reappeared, I spent a significant amount of time testing out CS6 and taking notes to share with you and your development team—for no other reason that that I know this program inside and out (or at least large portions of it), and want to contribute to it in any way I can. So yeah... I was angry. Truthfully—I still am. My paycheck isn't even the reason I do what I do. I do what I do because it fulfills me on an emotional and spiritual level—which I stated in my very first post back in April. Suffice to say—I feel spiritually and emotionally drained right now. I'm just so incredibly exhausted, having spent the last couple hours nearly driven to tears by the combination of a fulll week of never-ending frustration, the loss of an important client and my favorite project, and what seems to be a total disregard for my case by you and whomever else from Adobe has read these posts without taking action to begin bringing about resolution.
Again—if you have a case to make, then make it. Thus far, you've said a few things which made it seem like either a) you haven't even read the top-line details of my detailed reports, or b) that you are determined to squash me—not the bug. I've explained why I've come to those conclusions very clearly. Your assertion that I hadn't narrowed anything down is so demonstrably false that I consider that to be an abusive statement. Your mention of Wacom drivers and third-party-related possibilities right after I'd spent about an hour composing a post (following up on a couple of days worth of volunteer trouble-shooting) detailing to the nth degree why it absolutely could not be either one of those things is totally perplexing, to the point where it make so little sense that someone of your presumed intelligence (i.e. a big-shot developer for one of the worlds most well-known applications) could actually respond that way after reading any part of what I'd just wrote. It makes no sense. Either you didn't read it, or you did read it, and you had a reason for making a statement that you knew wasn't in line with the facts of the matter. I don't know which one it is, but it's one of those things, unless I'm totally missing something.
You have offered a few terse responses to my very detailed reports—and in the few short sentences that you've wrote, you've made many statements that have no effect on pushing the issue forward or getting it closer to resolution. I don't want it to be a personal issue—but I don't feel like I made it personal until you did. Yes, my statments were direct and pointed—but at least they've been transparent, articulate and well-explained. You continue to speak about things like my continued accusations, your weekend, the TOS of the forum, and all sort of things that only exacerbate an already-painful, already-costly issue. I've told you that I am determined to get resolution on this issue—and I am serious. I will not accept blanket dismissals, and I will not be intimidated into backing down from my demand for a resolution. I have helped you get as far as I can get on my own, and I am willing to continue to help in any way I can.
I quit a very high-paying job 4 years ago to pursue a career as a designer. I make next to nothing now, but I feel fullfilled because of the creative process. This bug has prevented me from all fulfillment. It has strained my personal and professional relationships, and has taken a heavy emotional toll on me. Please step up and make an effort to get it resolved—or at least assign someone else to solve it. I can provide whatever you need from my end—and again, I'm sorry for your phone call this weekend.

I was editing photos and it was getting stuck or frozen and working really slow, so I attempting to close aperture and reopen it but it won't quit aperture and now it won't open up to my photos either. Any ideas?

I was editing photos and it was getting stuck or frozen and working very slowly. I attempted to restart the computer but it would not allow me to quit aperture. Now aperture appears in my toolbar but will not open up so I can work on any photos. Any ideas?

Did you try opening from the Applications folder?
Depending on how far that gets you, I would also take a look at the Troubleshooting Basics.

i am unable to email images from my camera roll. the image gets "stuck". cannot insert email address or subject line. cannot cancel... return to camera roll.
what to do. i tries taking new picture and sending it in an email... same thing... gets "stuck "
Waht to do ?

Hello lohmann8,
Thank you for providing so much detail about the issue you are experiencing with emailing photos from the Camera Roll.
The first thing I recommend is quitting and relaunching the applications on your iPhone:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
You can find the full article here:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
If you are still seeing the same issue after quitting and relaunching the Photos and Camera app, I recommend restarting your phone and then resetting if it's still not working:
Restarting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
You can find the full article here:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists, the last thing I recommend is backing up and restoring your iPhone:

Logout, restart, shutdown all get stuck

After Quicksilver G4 has been idle for a few hours and I come along to shut it down or log out, it starts the process but gets stuck at the blue screen and spinning doohickey. (not the beachball). I've let it sit for over a half hour.
I can SSH into it and there are no stuck processes, no CPU overload, no memory overruns. It's just sitting there drooling.
The only other symptom is that the eject key doesn't function sometimes. If it is one of those times, I can be sure it will hang on reboot. Other times the eject key works fine regardless of whether there is a disc in there or not.
Happened with 10.5, 10.5.1, 10.5.2, but never with 10.4.x
Strange huh?

Open Activity Monitor (/Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor.app), and see if you can spot any thing to do with Safari or Firefox in there.

If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

Photoshop CC Toolbar buttons sticking.. getting stuck on single click

Toolbar buttons get stuck in dropdown menu with single click... it's extremely irritating especially being in photoshop all day. I have to click the intended tool button twice in order to get rid of the drop down menu options. I realize it should do this when I double click or hold down click.. but not when I simply want to select a tool with a single click. I've tried everything. Please help!

Try resetting the tools:
Also try changing the mouse settings such as double click speed..

HI, I just got a Macbook Pro. It's great but my mail doesn't work at all. It will come up correctly, but take forever to download messages, then won't delete them, then won't save them to folders. Then when I go to quit mail it's like it gets stuck.

HI, I just got a Macbook Pro. It's great but my mail doesn't work at all. It will come up correctly, but take forever to download messages, then won't delete them, then won't save them to folders. Then when I go to quit mail it's like it gets stuck between quitting and not. I have to force quit, then restart my computer if I want to pull up my mail again. How can I fix this?

If you just got your new MBP you have phone support from Apple (which is quite good) call them. 800-692-7753 tell the automated answerer "mail technical support" you'll have human quite quickly. Hope this helps.

My Mac is doing strange things: delaying between users, mouse flickering and bouncing, gets stuck with rainbow wheel flickering. I ran the appel hardware test and it detected an error: 4MOT/4/40000003:HDD-1233 Does anybody know what that means? HELP!

My imac is doing strange things:
-delaying between users: when closing session it goes to blue, then takes a while to appear users signin box, and then wont recognize mouse command to enter until a couple of minutes later... then everything seems alright until....
-it gets stuck between things, the rainbow wheel appears and its just delays there forever....
-and every now and then the mouse starts flickering and bouncing wildly onscreen.

WZZZ answered about where to get iStat. And do check the SMART status. If it is an overheating problem due to a fan or logic board problem, your hard drive is possibly cooking itself to death. If so it isn't a faulty hard drive even though the hard drive might fail. So assuming it's a temperature problem, even if you are able to repair things on the disk with software, that is working on symptoms, not causes. I could be wrong however.
RE: AppleCare: Your iMac came with one year of AppleCare (Apple's warranty program), but within the first year you can buy 2 more years. You have to extend by the one year anniversary of purchase of the computer. Your 10,1 is too old to still be in the first year, and since you asked what it was, I'm sure you don't have it. Bottom line meaning is that whatever this problem turns out to be, you'll have to pay for it. Unless there is something like this. It is for 2011 iMacs with certain Seagate drives. You can put in your serial number for fun, but it looks like yours is too old. Lastly, some people have had Apple help them anyway if it is just out of warranty, but many have not. Your machine is one of these. Type in 10,1 in the search box. Is there an Apple Store near you? Just b/c it's out of warranty doesn't mean you shouldn't have it looked at by Apple. But no one here can say at all what Apple will or will not do.
Hope you get it taken care of!

Internet recovery gets stuck on the spinning globe with the progress bar below.

Hello Everybody!
I'm trying to fix the iMac (27-inch, Mid 2010) of my friend. He said it doesn't boot anymore and just gets stuck on the grey screen with the Apple logo and the spinning wheel below. So my first step was to go into the Startup Manager by pressing the Option key after the chime. There I was presented with the Macintosh HD and the Recovery HD. After selecting the Recovery HD to access the Disk Utilities I got stuck on the grey screen with the Apple logo and the spinning wheel again. So I guess the data on the drive is corrupted and might have to be replaced. But before I do that, I wanted to give the Internet Recovery a try. I connected the iMac to the internet using an ethernet cable and pressed Command + Option + R after the chime and the spinning globe appeared with the info: "starting recovery process from network. This may take a while". After a short time the sentences are replaced by a progress bar and a timer that is counting up. The progress bar then moved for a tiny little bit and then nothing happens anymore but the timer keeps counting up. I waited for quiet some time before I gave up. I did not get any errors so I can't provide any other useful information. Can anyone give my some advice? I read in other posts that the ISPs of specific countries block ports which are needed for the internet recovery. I'm in Thailand right now. Does anyone know if that might cause the problem?
Thank you for all your help!

My apple TV 3 is stuck in recovery. When connected to iTunes through microUSB, it gets stuck in "Preparing Apple TV for restore", then after what seems forever, it gives me an error 2003. What can be done?

I tried to update my Apple TV today through iTunes using a microUSB. It gave me an error, I tried again and now it is stuck in recovery mode. If I plug it into the TV, it just shows that I have to connect it to iTunes (just the picture). I unplug everything, plug the microUSB and USB, plug the power, open iTunes, it shows, asks me to restore, I click Restore. It starts extracting the file, finishes, then gets stuck in "Preparing Apple TV for restore..." for what seems forever, when it finally times out, I get an error number 2003. I have tried different USB ports, no other USB device is connecte, I have tried restarting the PC (running windows 7, up to date, iTunes up to date as well), I have tried redownloading the IPSW and even using the shift+restore and manually selecting the .IPSW file, and to be honest, I give up! If anyone can help, I'd truly appreciate it. Thanks!
PS: I also tried pressing menu+down for 6 seconds to restart, I tried pressing menu+play to restart, I tried pressing menu+down 6 secs and then menu+play 6 seconds for the so called DFU mode, nothing works, the Apple TV just restarts back to the "connect to itunes picture" along with the fast continuous white light flashing.
