  • Colorsync Utility. Whenever I click on Devices or Filters, it hangs and I have to force quit. Any ideas as to how to fix this?

    I'm having an issue with Colorsync Utility. When I open the utility I can access Profile First Aid, Profiles and the Calculator but whenever I click on Devices or Filters, it hangs and I have to force quit. I recently re-profiled my NEC monitor using xRite i1Profiler Pro and saved the ICC profile as "version 4". When I went to use the Nik's ColorEfex Pro 4 plug-in, in Adobe Photodhop CS5.1 (Creative Suite 5.5), I got a cyan cast across all my images. Nik said it had to do with a corrupt ICC profile but when I ran Profile First Aid, the only profile that came up as needing repair ( and couldn't) was EW-sRGB. I reprofiled the monitor only this time I saved it as "version 2", and the plug-in worked fine. What surprises me is that Colorsync Utilty always used to work without issue, and I never seemed to have a problem creatinga and saving ICC profiles using version 4. Any ideas as to what is causing this problem and  how to fix this?
    Thanks.

    I updated my software, and deleted my history/cache.  Also, when I try to use Preview, it says that it was forced to quit while restoring windows, so when I click restore windows nothing happens.  I can't view anything either.  The only thing I can think that may have caused these problems is I tried to shut down and had to force it to by holding the power button.  I rarely shut it off.

  • I recently upgraded to Lion, and immediately started having consistent problems with Open Office 12 (would hang, and need a Force quit to recover). Has anybody else seen these problems? Any solutions other than going back to Snow Leopard? (I did).

    I recently upgraded to Lion, and immediately started having consistent problems with Open Office 12 (would hang, and need a Force quit to recover). Has anybody else seen these problems? Any solutions other than going back to Snow Leopard? (I did). But I'd like to use iCloud with iPad.

    Hi Pete. The repair of disk permissions can help resolve  any application crashing or misbehaving.
    As for Lion and the two camps, I think that is a reasonable observation. In my office we have about a dozen Mac's and about one third of those Mac's had problems after updating from 10.6 to 10.7. The main problem for these Mac's was a loss of wifi stability. But for the other two-thirds, Lion was a smooth transition.
    Personally, my Lion experience was fine. But I did get a new i7 MacBook Pro with Lion already installed and only had to migrate my user data from a 10.6.8 TM backup.
    So I think that is a key for Lion's operational success. A clean install of Lion on a new Mac would not cause too many operational issues. But an installation, or more correctly, an update to Lion from SL increased the chances of failure for some users - especially when old software & plugins resided on the Mac. And I would say that they were the people that you saw at the Apple store.
    As for the "latest release of Lion fixed my problems" statement, my experience with these and other forums is that people mostly only go there to complain about the problems they are having. If they are having no problems then they either keep it to themselves or they try to help the users who are experiencing trouble...

  • PS elements 12 freezing when doing selective color and having to force quit on Mac.

    PS elements 12 freezing when doing selective color and having to force quit on Mac.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times and that did not work.  I've changed preferences and that did not work and i tried hitting shift+command and option at start up of program and that did not fix the problem either.

    Hi,
    We sincerely apologize for the problem customers are facing while using a trackpad with Photoshop Elements 11 & 12 on Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite).
    We have been actively working with Apple to resolve this problem as quickly as possible. We're hopeful this will get completely resolved in an upcoming update of Yosemite(MAC 10.10).
    In the meanwhile, you have two options to work around this problem:
    1. Option1: Use a mouse instead of the trackpad
    2. Option2: Install a plug-in which should workaround the problem
    Plug-in installation instructions:
    1. Close Photoshop Elements
    2. Download this zip file to a location you can easily find (e.g. your desktop)
    3. Unzip the file, WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin, and move it to the Plug-In folder:
    • For Elements 12 – //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 12/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
    • For Elements 11 - //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 11/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
    You can verify the plug-in is installed by launching the Photoshop Elements Editor and choosing Help > System Info... Scroll to the bottom of the text in the dialog and look for the plug-in name "WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin".
    Note: This plugin is a temporary workaround and should be used until this issue is addressed in Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite). Please remove this plugin once the issue is officially resolved by Apple.
    If you are using a stylus in conjunction with a trackpad, you might see issues with your trackpad. Workaround in this particular case is to use mouse instead of the trackpad.
    Hope this helps!

    Hi Darr4425,
    That's not good! We definitely want your device to work properly at all times. What email application are you attempting to open? When did the issue start? Do you receive an error message when the application force closes?

    My problem is after updating to Yosemite does my mail client any longer. I can not even open the mail, and when I "forced closes" mail and try to open it again to go in the entered settings running the colored wheels around and allows me only to forcing close again? does anyone have a solution to the above problem?

    You mean the default OS X mail app? Try reinstalling OS X Yosemite if that's the case.
    If you are referring to 3rd party mail applications, that's a compatibility issue. Some apps don't work in the new operating system. You have to wait until the developer updates the app, or you have to revert back to Mavericks to continue using it.

  • Safari hangs and cannot be forced to quit...

    Mountain Lion 10.8.2
    Since the 6.0.2 update, I am finding that Safari hangs 4-5 times a day, and cannot be Forced to Quit. Doing a Force Quit only causes a hard crash and you need to reboot.
    Anyone else seeing this?

    Moving back to 6.0.1 did not resolve this issue.
    I am now investigating two possibilitites:
    1. There was a supplemental Mountain Lion update for 10.6.2. Since I only started with 10.6.3, someone recommended I install that update. I have.
    2. In the Energy system preferences, someone suggested that I turn off "Wake for Network Access". Since I have no other systems which would need to wake my MacMini, this seems like a good idea.
    My MacMini is starting up now a LOT faster (3-4x) after restarts since the Supplemental Update.  We will see if having Wake for Network Access makes any difference.

  • Portal hangs, and having trouble restarting Portal

    I have the 9iAS BI and Infrastructure (ver. 9.0.2 )installed on a box with Win NT OS. Every few days, Portal and/or the rest of 9iAS will hang and stop responding completely for no particular reason.
    When this happens, I first try to restart the services in OEM. Usually, this does not work becuase I cannot access the screen to restart the services. When this doesn't work, I reboot the server completely. After everything restarts, I oftentimes still cannot get Portal (& SSO) to start up. It's really the luck of the draw as to whether it will work again or not.
    So, basically, I'm wondering if anyone knows
    1. Why it might be hanging ?
    2. Why it won't restart correctly ?
    Thanks for your help!

    Since you're running 9iAS on a single Windows machine:
    Between steps 5 and 6 I would advise waiting a few minutes. As the infrastructure starts, some processes will state that they are up when they are still starting some back-end processes. Unless these are complete, starting the middle-tier can step on these processes and corrupt 9iAS. Been there, done that. Several times.
    FWIW, in my experience Portal is really unreliable on Win2K when run on a single machine ... Windows doesn't handle two separate Oracle_homes well on a single box. If you have the resources, I'd advise using two machines: one for the infrastructure and one for the middle-tier. A GB or 2 of RAM for each is also advisable.

  • Remote desktop client hangs and does not gracefully close when putting remote computer to sleep

    I have my home lan setup with a VPN and a web page on my router that allows me to remotely wake my Windows 7 computer if I need to access it. Problem I have is with the RDP client on other computers or the Terminal Service (TS) on mine (I don't know which
    is the issue). When I remotely tell my PC to sleep I expect the RDP client to gracefully close like it does if I select logout. Instead it hangs and then a disconnected/reconnected window pops up. I'm not sure if TS is sending the disconnect command to RDP
    or not, but I just know that RDP client things it should still be connected and is trying to reconnect to a PC that is already asleep.
    Is there a way to fix this RDP or TS issue or to I need to contact Microsoft more directly so they can fix it on their end?
    Just to be clear the wake up is working and the computer is going to sleep when I tell it to, the only issue is that it does not appear that the RDP client gracefully disconnects from the TS when that system is put to sleep.
    John B.

    Hi John,
    The default disconnection behavior is like what you see: just disconnect at once without any prompt message.
    We have no approach to change it. It's by design.

  • How do I fix my animation presets for text that won't load? It seems to get locked in loop and I am forced close Adobe Bridge.

    How do I fix my animation presets for text that won't load? It seems to get locked in a loop when I click on one and I am forced to "fore close" Adobe bridge which After Effects uses to locate the presets. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    What is your exact workflow? The proper procedure is to select your text layer in AE, find the text preset you want to use, then drag or double click that preset to apply it to your project.
    It also helps  if we know your version of AE and OS down to the decimal point. You didn't give us much to go on.

  • Itunes freezes on my mac mini?? its okay for the first few minutes then freezes. i just then get the colour wheel and have to 'force close'

    hi there, i have major problems with itunes freezing on my mac Mini, its okay for the first minute or two then it freezes and i get the spinning colour wheel and i have to force close.
    can anyone help?

    I suspect that you'll have to mount that volume at boot time and not at login time as you're doing now.  If you can arrange that, then the volume should be available to all users.
    Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be an easy way to do a boot-time mount.  I tried searching for "mount drive startup mac" (without the quotes), but most of the results described how to mount a volume at login time.  Ignore any advice that mentions "Login Items".
    I did find this discussion, but it's very sketchy.  You also have to be careful that any advice you find applies to the version of OS X that you're using.

  • Can't download new apps and lots of force closes since iOS7. Help!

    Since the iOS7 mandatory update I have not been able to download new apps via my iPad mini or by connecting the device to my computer. Apps on my mini also force close frequently, specifically Gmail, Candy Crush, and Facebook. Any advice?

    I have long since fixed the problem by resetting my iPad, but I wanted you to know that my question was not vague. I could not download anything directly to my iPad or by syncing it to my computer. No detail required; it just  didn't work. This surprised me since everyone raves about how great Apple products are. Might as well have bought a Surface.
    Also, force closes continue to be a problem for me. Resetting seems to be the only solution for this, too. I just hold he Home button and the Capture button until the apple appears then it boots up again.

  • Safari hangs and won't force quit

    I tried searching for this but the problem prevented that.
    After repairing my permissions yesterday, Safari won't let me do certain things like right-clicking an image or goto various sites or let my use tabbed browsing. I just get stuck with the spinning beachball.
    If I try to force quit Safari just disappears from the force quit menu while still existing in the Dock and in the background. I tried running top to get the process id and kill it but I couldn't find Safari in there.
    I really need some help on this as I have to hand in an assignment online on monday.

  • When I click on a link, tabs open continuously and rapidly until I close the browser. How do I stop it?

    Every time I click on a link, multiple tabs open rapidly, one after another, until I close the browser. This does not happen when I use Internet Explorer.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Firefox includes options of how to handle different content types, in your case the mailto links are probably set to "Use Firefox". For details of how to fix this see [[Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows]], in particular the section "Change the action for a content type".
