Crashes consistently when control clicking a selected object

CS4 InDesign crashes consistently when control clicking a selected object. Preferences have been reloaded, the program has been reinstalled, all without any effect towards this issue. Any suggestions?

Yeah, it was InDesign Hangs when right clicking on graphic.
There was a lot of head-scratching and the rather unsatisfying conclusion was when the OP removed ancient applications that might have been a choice for "Edit Original," then the problem went away.
I guess the conclusion is that right-clicking on an image iterates over the possible apps that can open an image (for Edit With and Edit Original) and does [something], and for some reason that [something] was hanging. Not clear what the app was. But presumably if you right click the file in the Finder and look at the list provided by Open With, it is similar.
Or you could try the suggestions I offered to the OP in that thread that it looks like he never used.

Applications crash immediately when I click and drag object. Every time in every Adobe program.

Application crashes when I click and drag object. Any time I am in an adobe program on my new computer (OS X Yosemite 10.10.1, 15 inch macbook pro 2.5gHz) say Illustrator for example, it will be fine until I inevitably need to click and drag something.
It immediately crashes, every single time. Same with Premiere, same with AE, same with photoshop. This is a brand new computer and I've tried all available versions CC2014, CC, and CS6. Anybody have some idea of what is happening? I've also tried using a bluetooth mouse to see if it's a problem with the touchpad. How could clicking and dragging cause every single application to crash 100% of the time.
Thank you in advance!

Yosemite sometimes has problems, often related to "default" permissions needing to be changed

Preview crashes consistently when opening certain PDFs

Preview crashes consistently when opening certain PDFs. I have Adobe Acrobat Professional and it is able to read the PDFs. Preview declares that "Couldn’t open the file. It may be corrupt or a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize." and crashes. It is less than graceful. I also have noticed that every time it crashes, I lose 40MB of disk space.
Other than individually marking "bad" files as acrobat files are there any solutions to this poor behavior by preview.
I also need to know how to recover the disk space. I have no idea where the files are being created. I checked /cores, but no joy.

Hi,
Try deleting the Preview and Sidebar preference files.
Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. Now open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
Move the com.apple.Preview.plist and the com.apple.sidebarlists.plist files from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
See if that makes a difference.

Indesign CS4 suddenly crashes down when I click on "edit" or try help. Can anyone help?

Hello,
I am still using Indesign CS4 (Version 6), so far no problem, but since new Macbook with Yosemite several Problems, also with Illustrator.
I cannot print from Indesign, so far just printing the PDFs, thats possible.
Since today I cannot use the software at all, as I cannot click on "edit" anymore. The software immediately crashes down when I click.
Searched the internet, someone told sth about "Zusatzmodule", but it also crashes down when I search for sth in the "help".
Can anyone here help me?
Kind of devistated, because its my business, need to work with InDesign...
thanks
P.

I'm sorry to say this but Yosemite and CS4 are incompatable. You're now five versions behind the current on InDesign, and CS4 was never tested with Yosemite.
You should seriously consider upgrading to either CS6 (perpetual license) or get a Creative Cloud subscription for your business.

'Control Click' to select layer when inside a group?

You can hold the [Ctrl] key and click something in your document to select its layer. If however you click something that is inside a group, the whole group is selected. Is there a way around this other than right clicking it and choosing its layer from the context menu?

You know I’ve never used that, i had some old graphic software back in the early 90's that worked like that. Thanks for pointing it out.
Unfortunately it still selects the whole group, when you click a layer contained in a group (which technically is the point of a group though)

Why doesn't my cursor change when I click the selection tool?

When I open any file, the object -- in this case, an image -- is already selected.
I want to enlarge the image so I click the buttons to do that. Normally I would pick 125% or 150%, but the dropdown menu does not open. I tried clicking the up arrow/down arrow buttons. Nothing happened. I tried double-clicking on the numbers to type a percentage; tiny blue horizontal bars appear on either side of the default "100" as if the machine is trying to highlight the number, but can't.
I click the Text tool, get the I-beam, and can click in a text box.
After all that, I click the selection tool. Nothing happens. My cursor is an I-beam. I cannot change it to anything else.
I have installed and uninstalled InDesign several times in an effort to correct this and related problems.
Installed from media -- original disks -- encountered problem -- uninstalled & reinstalled -- problem not solved.
Downloaded installation files from Adobe. Same result.
Uninstalled & reinstalled InDesign only. Still no go.
Reimaged computer back to factory settings, created desktop installation point for CS4, installed CS4 from there. Still no go.
Is it possible that there is some kind of incompatibility between CS4 and my computer? It is a new (one week old) Acer Travelmate laptop. Got it from TigerDirect, a trustworthy merchant.
My OS is Windows 7, but this shouldn't be a problem; CS4 runs fine with Windows 7 on another computer in my house (which, unfortunately, is occupied most of the time, or I would use that).
Any ideas at all?
Please help. I have a project deadline coming up and really need this particular computer to work.
Thank you thank you thank you.

Bob! BOB!! You did it!!!
I would give you money if I had money.... The next best thing I can think of to offer thanks is give you a great recipe:
1 pizza crust of your choice
olive oil
8 oz of goat cheese (more or less to suit your taste)
1 medium tomato
6 large cloves of fresh garlic
4-6 oz of sliced black olives (more or less to suit your taste)
fresh or dried basil
For best results, all ingredients should be organic or at least of highest quality available
Oven 350
Pre-heat the oven to 350 (important to do this). Dice the tomato to 1/4-inch bits and dice the garlic to 1/8-bits or as near as you can. Slice the black olives if necessary. Brush the pizza crust with olive oil. Blind bake it for 3 minutes or until two rooms smell really nice.
Spread on the goat cheese. Sprinkle on the basil, tomato, olives and garlic as evenly as you can.
Bake the pie for 15 minutes and check it for doneness to your liking (crispy or not).
Serve with salad and a cold white wine for a nice dinner for two, or cut into 2" squares for appetizers at a party.

Mail crashing sometimes when I click a link

Running 10.5.8 and sometimes when I click a web link it mail it will crash. Just spins the beach ball for 10 sec or so then crashes.
I am using mail to access 2 gmail accounts and not doing anything differently than before. I recently did a clean install and the only thing I have changed is that I no longer use Onyx. I can't see how that has anything to do with it. I have never had this issue before though in over 2 years of using Leo.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

This has been occurring for about 2 weeks.I need a version of firefox compatible with roboform.Very irritating that when I click tabs or links opens in a new window.

Firefox 4.0 up through the latest 10.0 version is compatible with Roboform7 or with the '''RoboForm Lite Standalone Extension'''.

Photoshop CC - Cannot control + click to select a different shape while using the pen tool?

I used the pen tool constantly in photoshop cs6 and would often use control + left click to select a different shape while still using the pen tool.
I'm now forced to switch to the move tool to select another layer? Why was this feature removed / changed?
Fix: After fooling around more, here is how I fixed it:
The new Direct Select Tool by default is set to "active" layers. Switch it to "all layers"
Message was edited by: Joe Horan

A new problem = Selecting multiple points with control + click + drag is selecting ALL shape layers... Jesus christ, why was this changed????
I now have to double click the shape I want to select? Why? What is the point of this?

Firefox crashes immediately when I click on the icon

On 9/21/2011 firefox worked fine. On 9/22/2011 when I clicked on the firefox icon I immediately got the mozilla crash report. In firefox help, under firefox crashes I have followed the steps listed:
Update Firefox
Update your plugins
Update Windows
Update your drivers
Update your Internet Security software
Check for viruses or spyware
Check to see if the crash happens in safe mode
The crash still happens in Safe Mode
The crash doesn't happen in Safe Mode
Get help fixing this crash
None of these steps have helped.
Firefox does crash in safe mode.

There are quite a few reports with that crash signature:

Look like a problem with running JavaScript.
Does it happen on specific pages?
Does it help if you disable the JavaScript JIT compiler temporarily as a test?
Try to set these two prefs to false on the about:config page to disable the JavaScript JIT compiler for scripts on web pages.
javascript.options.methodjit.content
javascript.options.tracejit.content
If you still see the crashes then do the same with these two for Chrome content (browser and extensions):
javascript.options.methodjit.chrome
javascript.options.tracejit.chrome
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

RoboHelp 10 Crashes consistently when trying to delete linked FM11 book

I have a linked project where RoboHelp absolutely refuses to display part of a topic and some of the images. So I decided to delete the linked FM book file and start again from scratch (this was a FM10/RH9 project originally). This causes RH to crash consistently. Any ideas?

I thought that moving my project location to a shorter path had solved my Cross references issue, but it hasn't. Here is a page from the Help:
These are all the same Heading style in FM
The X Refs are all to headings within the Current FM file
They are all the same Cross Reference Format (Heading & Page)
Thje Cross Reference conversion setting is set to Para Text in RH

10g XE - 404 error when I click on Home Object Browser (in IE)

Greetings
I use 10g XE with my xp/sp3 system, with IE7 (initially IE8RC1-also problematic).
The problem is that if I click on Home>Object Browser
I always get a "HTTP 404 Not Found"/The "Webpage cannot be found" error message
I've followed the instructions from htp://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/install.102/b25143/toc.htm#BABFHAEC,
I've uninstalled my antivirus (Kaspersky Internet Security 2009) and have Windows Firewall disabled
I've setup the ports needed by Oracle to my router (1521,2030,8080)
I have even started IE in safe mode(=without addons) --- iexplore -extoff
I've tried almost anything...
With other browsers (Firefox,Google Chrome, Opera)
that "Object Browser" button works ok,
BUT at other points (eg. "SQL>SQL Scripts>Create")
they all have more or less display problems (while IE shows all other things ok).
Please help :(
PS. I've read in http://kr.forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=554359
that there is a patch (#5648872) that could fix the problem,
but unfortunately http://metalink.oracle.com/ is only for Oracle's paying customers,
while I need/use Oracle 10gxe (free download) for my university lessons :( :(

Yes, of course.
Here is what I get in IE now instead of a plain 404:

Firefox crashes immediatly when I click the "upload images button" in Joomla. What is the problem?

To solve the problem I deleted and installed FF again. Some problem.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
 To Enable SafeMode 
*You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
*''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")
