Crash problem with elements 10 and mac mini lion 10.7.3

since i download element 10 into mac mini lion10.7.3 my system crashing all the time. i re installed adobe nothing happend. only solition so far shut down the mac and resart it again. and thats give me another 30 min fast work.
i tried CS4 AND CS5 had same problem.
does anyone know an answer?
thank you.

Working with Photoshop can tax a system, and if there are weak links, as Chris Cox alludes to, that can push the computer over the edge. It is not that the program (PSElements in this case) is "causing" the problem, only that it is revealing the weakness, where other programs, say e-mail reader, Web browser, wordprocessor, etc., will not tax the computer enough to point out the problem.
I agree with Chris in that it sounds like you have a hardware issue, such as a bad stick of RAM. That might not get used with regular computing tasks, but then PSE needs more RAM, so suddenly that stick is put into use.
There are several RAM test software programs (some better than others, and often by a great margin), but I do not know what is available for a Mac. Maybe others will have a rec. for you. Also, Chris has commented on some PC RAM test software, and does not like some of those applications, so if he recommends something for the Mac, go with his recs, as he knows what he's talking about.
Good luck, and wish that I had more to offer. I have several articles on tracking down hardware and OS errors, but all are for the PC, and hence, of little use here - sorry.

Problems with wrt610n and mac mini (MA206LL/A*)

i purchased a new wrt610n and one of the machines that is connected is a mac mini, 1.66 ghz intel core duo.
#ma2066/ll/a for those who want to compare notes. the computer is stock with the 802.11g wireless card
that came with the machine. it is running the current software and all the updates are up to date.
i am using wpa 2 personal w / aes
their is some kind of incompatibility or issue between the wrt610n and the mac mini.
either using the wireless connection OR connected directly to the router, web pages are very slow to load. sometimes it can take
up to 45 seconds for the mac mini to open up a webpage. for 45 seconds it is at 'contacting website'
when i try to run software update, i get a time out error -1001, make sure you can connect to the internet and try again.
hulu desktop is also running slow.
copying a file from the mac mini to a another computer over wifi averages about 1 mb/s
when i informed linksys about this problem, they took my phone number and said that a linksys technician / senior tech support employee
would call me back. that was a day or so ago. i asked if i can have any newer firmware, considering the latest is 5 months old.
i am considering returning this router, but i don't see a lot of good alternatives that have similar features. i have 21 days to return this. the restocking fee will be 15% i am also considering various 802.11n solutions for the mac mini, even including the dell 1500 wireless mini card, i heard it works as an airport card.
if i do get a different model router i would like external antennas.
my previous router was a 5 year old wrt54gs version 2.0, and it never had a problem with any of the computers with the network.
the trouble shooting steps involved changing the beacon to 75 and the mtu to something else, i forgot. it did not make a difference.
i moved the mini and connected it wired to the wrt610 and turned off the airport wireless card and there was no improvement.
when i disconnected the wrt610n and connected the mac mini directly to my dsl modem. the issues were suddenly gone.
theres some kind of problem with this particular unit. and i would like to hear from others who have solved this or are experiencing
the same probem

Problems with typing in mac os lion

hello,
just two days ago I had some problems with my MacBook Pro running with Lion, I just went to update my mac os 10.7.3 to 10.7.4 and suddenly it failed to instal
just then I was told to restart my computer. Ater I restarted the computer there was a huge problem, I had a Kernel Panic issues and I realized that my mac OS had crashed. So I clean install my mac using my recovery disk that was given in the box by purchase.
after re-installing I got this annoying typing problem (sorry for sharing a Youtube URL to show you exactly how it goes)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVCwZD3ZEVU
I have tried to turn of the auto correct feature on Text & Languages in system prefrences but it doesnt fix anything.
maybe you have some great solution to fix my problems? thanks before..

If it happens in a new user you may be able to repair this with the 10.5.4 Combo Update This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before.
Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.

Thunderbolt Port problem with (Late 2012) Mac Mini

I am connecting a (Late 2012) Mac Mini to an HP 2311xi monitor with a MiniDisplayPort-to-DVI-D cable plugged into the Thunderbolt port.
After the connection, the Thunderbolt bus Port Status in Systems Information states "No device connected".
However, the monitor works fine, just as well as when I am connected to the HDMI port (but without the blinking screen...).
The problem is that the TB port drops the video signal when I put the Mini to sleep. The monitor will not go into sleep mode (as it does with the HDMI connection) but flashes "No signal" which seems to wake up my Mini's hard drive. It spins up but there is nothing on the screen.
I'd appreciate any help on this, including the mystery of why there is "No device Connected" in Systems Information.
Thanks in advance.

I thought about your dilemma while ASC was down, that's good news your welcome!
I spent some of the time replacing the 320GB 5400rpm HD in my 2010 Mac Mini with a 500GB Hitachi Travelstar 7200rpm HD. Then moved forward by Restoring Mountain Lion onto it from an External HD, instead of Snow Leopard from the original 5400rpm drive. I really prefer to keep my music and photos on the Internal HD and so I couldn't justify the cost of a larger SSD.
So basically I flip flopped and now running Mountain Lion on a larger/slightly faster Internal HD and Snow Leopard from a FireWire External HD when needed.

Printing problems with Elements and iPhoto on OSX 10.5.7

I am having problems with printing photos on my printer (Canon iP4000) since getting the new iMac with OSX (10.5.7) and using Photoshop Elements 6 and iPhoto. The Canon printer driver (and all my other data) were copied to my Mac by the techs at the Apple store from which I purchased the iMac. (I previously had a Mac G4 with OSX 10.4.11 Panther.)
Photos that used to come out crystal clear and brilliant on the printer from the G4, now are faint with kind of a white veil. When I try to print in Elements, I get a message that says "Some PostScript specific print settings (Interpolation, Calibration, Encoding) will be ignored since you are printing to a non-PostScript printer." I really have no idea what that means. Anybody?
Text printing comes out fine, both from word processing documents and web pages. I am using the latest printer driver (4.8.3) for the iP4000 (probably 4 years old or so), and there are no new driver downloads available for it. I trashed the Canon software/drivers and reinstalled, to no avail.
Canon Support has been helpful and have made many suggestions, but none has worked. I tried printing with Canon's EasyPhotoPrint app, and the photos print fine. So the problem appears to be a compatibility of the printer with Elements 6 and iPhoto.
Has anyone else had this experience? Does anyone have an opinion if this means I need to get a new printer? If so, any suggestions on a good, moderately priced one for Leopard on the iMac that will definitely work with Elements 6 and iPhoto?

The v4.8.3 driver she has is the latest version Canon has supplied.
Given the driver is working okay from some other applications, there has to be something amiss with the colour management of iPhoto and PSE6.
For iPhoto, as a test I would suggest the Color Options > Color Correction is set to None to see how this impacts the printed image. Then I would try the BJ Standard and ColrSync settings to see how the output is affected.
During the Color Options trial, ensure the Quality & Media > Media Type is set to the appropriate paper type, such as Photo Paper and the Print Mode be set to Top Quality Photo. With regards to the Media Type setting, some of the paper stocks have a profile associated with them. If you use Photo paper but use the Plain setting, then you will get a washed out print.

Problems with bootcamp on Mac mini (Mavericks) late 2009

Hi all!
The problem I encounter is that I get an error message saying that the files aren't available on the software update server (?). I don't get to the point where to partition the hdd or in my case the ssd.
I have tried with an external 500 gb hdd (FAT formatted in the mac mini) and with windows on a dvd but it doesn't work. I use 64-bit win7 ultimate, but can use any win7 version as long as it works. The mac has 160 gb ssd, 4 gb ram, dvd-drive, connected to the internet.
Can and would some kind soul help me get past this problem?
The error message loseley translates (from swedish to english) into: Can't install the software since it isn't available on the software update server right now.
Regards
Pierre

Ok. I now have downgraded to Mac OSX 10.6, made all the software updating and now i get to the partitioning part. Yay! But since bootcam now is 3.0.4 the win7 64 dvd won't boot. I suspect I need the 4.0.4 version of bootcamp to make that work. This is now undergoing.
If anyone can offer an explanation for this tedious task to get wn7 64 on the computr, please feel free to spek your mind. I know I would like to with some guys at apple...

Using a 1TB G-Drive with macbook and mac mini

After checking the net for solutions, I have decided to post here. Hopefully I haven't missed something as to not be redundant.
Currently I am using time machine to do incremental backups on my unibody macbook to my g-drive wirelessly through my airport extreme via usb.
I ordered a unibody mac mini and I was wondering if I could connect the mac mini to the g-drive via firewire 800 and back up both mac mini and macbook to the one drive.
I know time machine can handle the multiple computer situation, but I don't know if it can handle the 2 inputs simultaneously. USB from the airport extreme and firewire 800 directly from the mac mini.
Thanks for the help,
Reardan

Well after experimenting, I found that the mac mini would not recognize the g-drive while it had both USB and firewire plugged in.
So what I did was unplug the usb and shared the g-drive through the mac mini with file sharing.
The issue is now that my macbook does not seem to be able to deal with the new path.
I can view the contents of the g-drive but the .sparsebundle file can not be opened on my macbook. It tries to mount it as a disk image.
Anyways, any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks

Best USB 2.0 Hub to use with iPods and Mac Mini 2009?

I am using my Mac Mini as my iTunes station, and I have five iPods
that are connected to my master iTunes Station.
Recently I needed to add a USB drive to add more space to the mini.
Along with a wireless keyboard ( that uses a USB transmuting dongle)
I am short two USB ports. Can anyone recommend a good USB hub
that is compatible with iPod Touch, iPod Mini, IPod Shuffle, iPod Classic 30GB,
and iPod Classic 160GB for iTunes synching and charging?

Anyone have any luck with this hub:

looks like the White Belkin one, but is on Amazon for about half the price, and
other than being brown, I don't see a difference?

Loss of picture with samsung and mac mini

I just bought a mac mini and tried to hook it up to a samsung flatsceen new'ish tv using a mini dvi cable it worked for about an hour after initially coming up with a blank screen, even on the tv stations, (screen went blue.) Then after turning everything of and starting again the picture came back, also mac mini picture working.
But as I said after about an hour the screen flickered and went to blue again and now we cannot get tv or anything just sound?
Any suggestions please.

Thanks for your reply:
I have two cables both supplied by mac when i bought the mini, one short one which goes into the mac and a long dvi cable which goes into the tv one end and the mac mini adapter the other. I will try all the cables again to see if any are loose it is a possibility. I also have booked samsung tech to visit as the tv is still under warranty. He is coming on Saturday which might or might not resolve if it is a TV issue - thanks

Problem with en0 on Mac Mini (mid 2011)

Hi all!
I have a strange issue with the network (en0) on my Mac Mini: it just stops working after a seemingly random amount of time.
I found this line in the system log (repeated hundreds of times):

Any suggestions as to what may be causing this? Maybe a hardware issue?
Thanks for your insights!

I read in the forums that it's a problem with my grafic card driver and that I should update it. I just did, but the problem is still there. I use Adobe Master Collection CS4 a long time ago (under Windows XP plataform). Last week I upgraded to Windows 7 and issues began. Does anybody know what I should do? Thank you very much!

I did that too Chris but when I uncheck OpenGL drawing my video card is not shown and the crash dialog appears anyway. It's really dissapointing... Thanks for you help, I'll try to contact NVidia technical support.

What's the best set up with AppleTV and Mac Mini with 2TB external HD?

Hi
I have an Apple TV and 2TB external HD connected to my Mac Mini.
I want to stream through my Mac Mini and I want all my media stored in my external HD.
What's the best setting so that I sync only one way to my external HD the contents of my Apple TV? I don't want anything except unwatched media on my Apple TV.
I'm fairly new to Mac world and Apple TV, as far as I read iTunes and Apple TV sync both ways,how do I achieve a one way sync to my Mac Mini with external HD?
Many thanks

Ok that makes it clear, sorry I used wrong terminology,it should have been transfer rather than sync.
You don't want to stop transfers of purchased content. See This User Tip
While on the subject a friend of mine told me that the streaming videos doesn't work well,it kinda freezes and stops but the music stream is fine. Is that true or his set up is wrong?
It's not necessarily his configuration set up that's wrong, it's probably that he has a poor network by virtue of too great a distance or interference from other networks or other household equipment.

External usb microphone not working with FaceTime and mac mini with os x Yosemite

Hello
When I try to do a phone call with face time through my iphone 6 face time is not recognizing my external usb microphone connected to my mac mini. I have just updated my mac mini to os x Yosemite. If I go to the audio system preferences and look to the audio input signal I can see that the external microphone (SB Omni Surround 5.1) is working (audio input level is showing an input signal).
Can someone help. I saw that this was also an issue in the beta versions of Yosemite.
Thanks.
BR Stefan

Interesting. I don't have a USB mic on the Mac Pro. Its the OLD FireWire 300 iSight. It works for FaceTime calls but not the iPhone call via the FaceTime app.
I also have 2010 MBP that works perfectly, even since the first Public Beta. I'm to sure if that mic is considered an external USB device or not, or if it has to do with device signatures vs. external or internal. I would almost assume that the built-in mic is on the USB bus. How would it be any different than the external USB.
I think I have to agree that this is a point release bug. I have submitted a bug report at bugreport.apple.com, and would ask others to do the same, or at least post to apple.com/feedback. The more noise we make through process the more likely to get a fix in the .1 release.

Anyone having a crashing problem with the new Mac Pro?

I have a new Mac Pro purchased in January. I bought it as a front end to my very large mp3 library (170,000 mp3s and over 2,000 mp4s; media is housed on a 12 TB QNAP NAS). Since day 1 it has been a major problem. The biggest problem I have now is random crashing--can occur any time even when I am not even using the Mac Pro, making it totally unreliable and a $5,200 paperweight.
I have had several Apple Care people working on this, but after having been passed around to 5-6 different people, they still have no solution.
Anybody having a similar problem?

As today I'm sure I'll not make the purchase again.
The more I look into this problem, the more people and articles I find about it: and it's more than a month and no update to fix the problem.
PC alternatives are far more interesting and they still give you the choice of building your machine.
Apple was amazing 15 years ago, where is the team of developpers that created the old Mac Pro?!
I want to be optimistic too, but I'm already collecting all the info on how to build an backup machine... since I'm using Adobe CC and other interchangeable softwares, there is no more problems swithcing from Mac to PC and vice-versa.
I hope there will be a third contender entering the market soon, with a dream computer on Linux. I am on mac because of its reputation 20 years ago, but times are changing and Apple vision seems very different now.
I'm afraid that WWDC will not announce a thing relevant for the MacPro or computers, we got used now to ear only about phones and tablets...
