Crash and .ims Files

Since I updated to Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 the project keeps creating a media a "Media Cache Files" folder on my computer's hard drive and filling it with .ims files until my hard drive is full. This happens even though I have told the project to put the media cache files on an external drive. The project also creates a Media Cache Files folder on the external drive and fills that folder with .pek and .cfa files. Anybody know how to prevent the project from creating this folder on my computer's hard drive?

Hi Jeff,
Pardon the long post, and maybe I should direct this at Kevin, but I pick you. We've been scratching our heads over this for a year.
Trying to get a handle on our cache file set-up. Where best to put them, when to generate, etc. We have multiple rooms working with the same media, maybe picking up a project from another editor. Different configurations but all rooms have robust Mac Pros, PPro 2014, multiple fiber connections, internal hard drives, lots of RAM (48g).
I assume that its better to put cache files on a secondary drive if possible; would you agree?
For a very large file it seems to bog PPro down. I.e. you can't play the clip while its particular cache file is generating. We load entire ballgames, movies, hour long interviews, etc. Is this as expected?
A new user on the same project still seems to have to generate cache files; do you know if these files should be associated with the media, the project, or the user? We do not put the cache files next to the original media; that becomes a nightmare in the finder.
I did a test just now and the .ims files were created for everything I dragged in (ProRes, mxf, avi, mp4, aif, wav, psd, png, tif).
The second part of this test was to clean the database using PPro preferences. Before the clean I had 26,000 ims files in my common folder (tiny, yes, but a lot of files) and 7,000 files in my cache files folder on my internal hard drive (1TB SATA). After the clean I appear to still have exactly the same number of files on each. Just to be clear, the media prefs are pointing to the same cache folder. I can delete manually, and try to do that about every two weeks. The problem there being that I'm working on an hour long show with seven cameras, clips, graphics, music, etc. and I don't want to have to re-generate the big files often. My work around has been to delete all cache files, then launch the project when I'm leaving for the night so they re-generate during down time.
Again, pardon the long winded post. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan

Hi, photoshop crashed and the file I was previously working in on the same version says Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop. I'll appreciate any help. Thank you.

InDesign file crashing and damaging file...even the backup file.

Of course in times of deadline but I have a lengthy 20 something page document that continually crashes and then gives me a damaged error but attempting to recover just crashes InDesign. I have tried recreating a couple times thinking maybe something corrupt in the doc but even the back up file is corrupt now! UGH! HELP!!!

Hard to tell what you mean by the backup file is corrupt.
It's possible that only the recovery data is bad, and if you empty the (hidden by default) InDesign Recovery folder you will be able to start ID without auto-recovery, then use File > Open... to navigate to and open the last saved version of the file.
If a backup file is also misbehaving it may be that it already had a problem, or else there is something not specifically file-related that is the problem, a plugin conflict, or a bad font are two common errors. Without more information, though, it's impossible to say. What version of ID? Which OS? Do you have the latest patch installed for your version?
If yo are a Mac user you likely have a crash report associated with this. If so, post it on pastebin.com and give us a link to it here and we might be able to narrow things down.

Disk Utility crashes and dmg files won't mount

My girlfriend's Powerbook has been acting up for a while now, and we still can't seem to get it working properly.
One day, her Adobe programs just stopped working. Tried several things, but nothing worked and she ended up reinstalling OSX. That fixed the problem, but then she noticed she could no longer open DMG files. Accordingly, she tried to run Disk Utility but then found that it would always crash when trying to open.
She ran Disk Utility from the install disc, but nothing turned up. She also tried looking up several methods of fixing the DMG problem (deleting various files), but nothing's worked.
If I remember correctly, she also tried using the 10.3.9 combo updater some time ago, but that didn't help. We're actually not totally sure about that, so we're trying to reinstall the 10.3.9 combo updater, except for the fact that Apple has only made the file available as a DMG (which she obviously can't open).
So can anyone please help us get Disk Utility to stop crashing, and get those DMG files to open/mount? I have the crash logs but they're huge, so I'm not so sure if I should post them. Thanks everyone!
PS. I can open DMG files for her using MagicISO (I'm on a PC), but it's a bit of a pain transferring those larger files to her.
Powerbook Mac OS X (10.3.9)

What files did you try deleting? If you don't know what a file does or why you're messing around with it, you shouldn't; that's just asking for trouble.
Let's assume for the moment that you have a corrupted preferences file. To find out, go to Users/Library/Preferences and locate the com.apple.DiskUtility.plist file and drag it to the Desktop. Now relaunch Disk Utility and see if the problem continues. If not, then use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions, and then you can Trash the file on your Desktop.
You should also use your OS X install disc to boot the system and use Disk Utility to Repair Disk, to see if there are any problems. If it reports any errors that it can fix, keep running it until no more are reported.
If there's an error that it cannot fix, stop using your system immediately and make a backup of everything; then get a disk utility such as DiskWarrior to see if it can fix your drive. If your drive cannot be repaired, you will need to replace the internal drive and restore from your backup (if you have one).
Hope this helps,

CS6 photoshop crashing and dissapearing files.

My photoshop has been crashing, and that is bad, but now it is actually erasing files, and saving files in formats that are not finished and thereby not able to open. Does anyone know a solution or have any experience with similiar issues?

Tried Transferring Photos in Finder, Only To Crash and Lose Files

So here's the story... I wanted to transfer photos from one folder to another on OS X Lion. All I was doing was moving JPG photo files, not copying. Then Finder crashed so I had to relaunch. Okay, that's fine... it happened every blue moon on Snow Leopard. So I thought I would just have to repeat my efforts after relaunch... Wrong. I went back to where my photos originally were and they were gone, so I went to the location of where I wanted to move them and the folders were there, but no JPG photo files. They've completely Vanished... I'm the biggest Apple supporter but this is completely Unstable! I just lost thousands of photos for a photo shoot I did, in Finder nonetheless. It wasn't like this was through iPhoto, Aperture, Picasa, or anything like that, just Finder.
Any possible solution to this? Please and thank you!

Open Windows Explorer once your IPOD is plugged in and in Disk mode. Drag the folder with your pictures in it to the IPOD icon and drop it. That's it. Just remember this is for transferrring photos from one location to another and cannot be viewed using the IPODs interface.

Sorry, it's my my fault. Please try to perform the basic throubleshooting steps for Excel which lists in the link below and check if the issue still persists.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2758592/en-us
Most of steps have been mentioned by
Keith Ruck in the first reply but you may try the rest.
Review the event log from your initial post and the error message is general. We need to use some tool like Process Monitor for further tracking that and analyze deeply.
For the crash/hangs issue, use ADPlus.vbs to have a try.

Keynote 3.0.2 crash and unexpected file size increase

All was going well with my Keynote presentation consisting mainly of photos (.jpg), 100 slides, multiple photos per slide. I then added 3 new Quick Time .mov files, 12 kb each. Upon saving, the program stalled during the save and then crashed. The presentation was about 135 M previously and now is 3.75 G. The backup, created at the same time as the original, is also 3.75 G. I can open these files and play them and close them, but the program hangs during a save.

Lightroom 4 is crashing and corrupting files. it also crashes my entire system sometimes. I'm on windows 7 64x, Intel 5 4670, 16gb ram.

I've tried reinstalling it. Didn't help. It crashed when I was exporting 111 photos, then I only did 20 at a time and it didn't crash, but it crashed 4 times while I was editing the session. What should I do?

I tested it, its fine...my whole system is fine. Lightroom is the only
program that acts like this. Otherwise my system is good to go.What else?

CS6 bridge crashes trying open files

bridge opens up fine, I can browse around & preview images without any trouble…
Whenever I double-click or right-click on an image whether it be a raster image or a vector image, bridge crashes and the file never opens in Photoshop or Illustrator…
Any Thoughts?

Fast forward a bit to September 2012 and I'm experiencing the same problem of Adobe Bridge CS6 crashing like a mofo. I'd love it if anyone could brighten my life with some sollutions.
I'm using: Bridge CS6. Fully updated. Running on Windows7 32bit which is fully updated. Updated graphics card. In short, EVERYTHING on my pc is updated and runs great except bridge. Gaming PC with 4gb RAM and a sweet graphics card.
Bridge loads fine and looks okay UNTIL i open a file. The second i click Open, bridge crashes.
Bridge also crashes if i double click a folder which has a photo in it. Never fails to crash. The error is typical nonsense:
"Adobe Bridge CS6 has stopped working. Windows is checking for a sollution to the problem." followd by "A problem has caused the program to stop working corectly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a sollution is available." "Close Program."
Curt Y advised the previous member to open View Event Logs, and look for errors/warnings. Specifically in Applications an area called Faulting Module. Well I can't find anything called "fault". I opened Event Viewer, the four options are "custom views", "windows logs", "applications and services logs", and "subscriptions". Clicking the down arrow on each of them brings up sub areas, none called fault.
Under Windows Logs and Application, there are a lot of errors listed involving Bridge CS6. This is what the information and error log says:

Photoshop cs2 crashes and reboot windows xp without any error message when I try to open a file

Hi,
I downloaded the trial version (assessment for thirty days) of Adobe Photoshop cs2. Once installed the trial version, the program works correctly, except for a basic function: to open files and modify them. Any image files (jpeg-gif-png-tiff-bmp-psd) on press command FILE>OPEN, or Ctrl+O, to open it, sends the system in crash, and without any warning message, send to "restart" the operating system, in my case , windows xp.
I use also photoshop cs, and it works correctly and allows to open file image also; but not with cs2.
What's the problem?

The error message I see in a Event Viewer after the program crashed is the following:

Using Aperture 3.51 I am having frequent crashes and freez ups when editing Canon raw files?

HI,
I have an IMac with 4 G of Ram and am using Apeture 3.51. When trying to edit CS2 raw files I experience frequent crashes and freez ups of the whole computer. Any suggestions?

You didn't mention any color calibration being done on your monitor. This is an essential part of any color-correct workflow. What are you using to calibrate your monitor (and your printer)?
Print profiles (for soft-proofing as well as printing) are for specific combinations of paper & printer. The nine you have are each, most likely, for a common paper (perhaps mfr'd by Canon) to be used with your printer.
I don't know what you mean when you say "I choose a high standard print option".
Have you read the User Manual chapter on printing?
Printing Your Images
There is also a good appendix on calibration:

CMS crash with core files and multiple report output generation

Happy new year to everyone,
Our BOXIR3.1SP6FP2 env has recently started behaving weirdly by triggering multiple output to users inbox and email notification out of scheduled reports. Also we have noticed the CMS crash with core file (almost 4GB) generation at the time of multiple report output.
Most of the times, CMC crashes and recycles itself. At few times, CMS services alone went shut down.
OS details: RHEL 5.5, 32 GB RAM, 8 core processor on each of the clustered node, Oracle 10GR2.4 CMS DB server, 11GR2.4 oracle reporting DB server and oracle 11.1.0.6 client.

Below is the observation as part of troubleshooting:
1. CMS breaks at threshold of 3.9 G.
2. CMS DB sits in a different Linux server than BOE server.
3. All core files were generated by boe_cmsd process and are almost 4GB in size (same as max threshold which it breaks).
4. Shell script which I've added in the BOE servers shows that the CMS DB is available/connecting at the time of CMS crash.
5. SAP analysed the Core files and skeptical about the below lines.
     #3 0x58687b80 in skgesigCrash ()
      from /opt/oracle/product/11.1.0/client_1/lib32/libclntsh.so
     #4 0x58687e0d in skgesig_sigactionHandler ()
I'll continue troubleshooting with a hope to fix it at the earliest.
Thanks,

My iMac just crashed, and I had some documents open in Pages that were unsaved. Is there a temporary file or backup file that I can access as on a PC? (I have just looked in Timemachine which I had operating, but it did not seem to have any temp files).

My iMac just crashed, and I had some documents open in Pages that were unsaved. Is there a temporary file or backup file that I can access as on a PC? (I have just looked in Timemachine which I had operating, but it did not seem to have any temp files in it at all - not sure what it would be useful for then).
Any suggestions?

Question asked and answered several times.
If you didn't save, nothing is recoverable.
iWork apps don't create temp files so, as far as you on't save something, Time Machine can't archive it.

Hi Craig
Unfortunately, in your case, there isn't really a way to separate them as far as I can think.
You could try restoring from a backup, and choosing an older backup perhaps
