Crashing and preview problems

Hi Folks,
I had purchased the Premire Elements 8 pack a month ago and I find myself struggling with it on a daily basis and I will appreciate your help.
H/W Environment: Windows 7 Ultimate (32 bit), Intel Core Duo CPU T8100 2.1 GHz, 4GB RAM, 120GB free on my HDD
S/W Environment: Premiere elements 8.0 + Photosop 8.0 Elements + ProDAD plugins
Error message: "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Elements to shut down"
Problem description:
1) While working with the Premiere Elements 8, (even without ProDAD plugins) the system crushes again and again and its almost impossible to with it.
2) If I am lucky and I managed to create a basic project (few pictures with ProDAD transition effects) the Premiere is unable to run a preview show, the time bar is moving forward but the preview screen is freezing. in order to overcome this issue I had to save the project as a clip and than evaluate it.
3) Saving the project as a solution for #2 is taking approximatly 1.5 hour.
Thanks in advance,
Ofer

Hi Steve,
1) I am using SONY Handycam DCR-SX30E and the video format is .mpg
2) I turned off the program's intrusive background processes and install the latest updates as you recommended.
Unfortunately the problem was not resolved.
I would like to emphasize that the problem that I am facing is not related to video at all, its happening even without any video (only jpg files)
After all the updates:
I created a small project contain of 10 jpg files( 3.5 MB each), NO video in it
I added 6 transition effects (Premiere effects) and 3 transition effects by ProDAD Adorage plugin
While trying to see the preview clip some transitions didnt appear at all
I tried to save the project as AVI like I used to do, the project couldn't complete the saving process An Error popup indicate that an "Error compiling movie. unknown error. "
After closing the Premiere completely and after several attempts I managed to save the file on my PC as an AVI format (it took 20 min to complete the process), but the result was an AVI with partial data on it ( only with the first effect and first jpg)
I would like to mention also that the main problem was not resolved and I am still facing severe crushes very frequently.
Regards,
Ofer

Repair/verify disk permissions and Preview problem.

The preview problem is yet to be solved + is outlined here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=298858&tstart=0
Also:
I decided to open up disk utility and verify disk permissions, this went fine. I then went on to 'verify disk' and it told me:
Volume Header needs minor repair
The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
Volume needs repair
What's the solution? start up from OSX install disc? is this hard to do?

I am also having trouble with "verify disk permissions".
I have had frequent crashes recenlty and as a result upgraded to Tiger. The system crashes sometime when recovering from sleep (twice yesterday) and was crashing ferquently in Panther OS when hitting the odd key here and there.
Since upgrading to Tiger, I have apparrently successfully "repaired the disc permissions" on the start up volume, but then when I come to check them again, there are still the same problems, even though the "disk utility" has been run successfully. Have run disc warrior and "Verify disk" and still not convinced.
I also notice that the machine seems to be much slower running Tiger than before.
I avoided a complete install of the new OS because of all the aggro that involves, but it may be my only option if no one can help.
All thoughts appreciated.
Thanks
Powerbook 12 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Major crashing and performance problems, apparently since 10.6.1

Hi there
Since I updated to 10.6.1, I've had significant problems with my black MacBook, Core 2 Duo 2.16Ghz. I get the spinning beach ball holding me up all the time (twice since I've started typing this message), the fan goes crazy, applications just crash and hang, and on a few occasions the whole window server has just crashed, killing all my apps and dumping me out at a login prompt.
I've looked in the console and seen a variety of messages, some related to Windowserver, e.g.:
[598] kCGErrorIllegalArgument: _CGXMapShmemInternal : Invalid shared memory id
[112] kCGErrorIllegalArgument: CGXSetWindowListTags: Operation on a window 0x2 not owned by caller (PID 179)
[112] kCGErrorIllegalArgument: CGXSetWindowListTags: Operation on a window 0x7 not owned by caller loginwindow
some related to I/O:
kernel disk0s2: I/O error.
and of course the latter make me think about disk problems. However the disk is only 6 months old, I replaced the one that came with the computer which died in March, and this one's been perfectly alright up until now, so I've checked the disk with Disk Utility and /sbin/fsck -fy in single user mode, and both say there's nothing wrong with it. I have an external LaCie 2Big RAID attached by Firewire which is my TimeMachine volume, and I've run Disk Utility against that and again, it says there's no problem.
I've rebooted in safe mode, single user mode, verbose mode, all of it says everything's fine. I've switched off Spotlight indexing, as I thought it might be that. I'm getting nowhere - haven't had a window server crash for a couple of days, but applications randomly take ages to start, cursors just hang waiting on the beach ball, and sometimes if I leave Activity Monitor running I see applications just go red "not responding" for a while and then just start responding again later, with nothing in the system/console/'all messages' log to indicate there was ever a problem.
I've got 168.3GB free space out of 250GB available on the boot disk; Activity Monitor says 1.17GB free RAM. 'top' says PhysMem: 1247M free. I've checked the memory in single user mode by running '/usr/bin/memtest all 20' and it says everything's fine.
There are a variety of other error messages, lots of warning to do with multiple kernel dependencies which I think are probably deprecation warnings, but a lot of which I don't know much detail about. The point is, none of this was happening before I upgraded to 10.6.1, and now that I have, it's making my computer nigh on unusable at times.
Anyone have any ideas?
Cheers,
Igor

Hi again. Right, Thursday night it crashed, just hanging there, so I force-restarted with the power button, and it wouldn't boot. disk0s2: I/O error in console. Great, dead disk, I think; well, a shame that neither Disk Utility nor fsck told me anything about it, but at least that explains things.
So today I went out and bought a Seagate Momentus 500GB 7200rpm 2.5" SATA disk, took it home, plugged it in, partitioned the disk, did a restore from Time Machine, and pressed "Restart from restored system". Bang. Nothing. Option-restart: only shows SL install DVD. Console: nothing. Reboot into installer, doesn't even show Seagate in Disk Utility. Swap old disk back in, same as before, disk I/O error. Try new one again, nothing. Start thinking I might be in for a big bill or a new Mac, try once more, boots fine. All working fine except Mail which gives me this:
"You can't use this version of Mail with this version of Mac OS X
You have Mail version 4.1 (1076/1075.2). It can't be used on Mac OS X Version 10.6.1 (Build 10B504). For more information, click the Help button."
So:
a) What might be up with the computer that it sometimes can't see the HD? I'm trying to make sure the disk is securely seated, but it's as far as I can see identical in shape to the last one, with which I carted the Mac around over the last few months without any such problems. Connections? Motherboard? SATA bus? How can I find out? This is going to be expensive, isn't it?
b) In the meantime, while I have the thing booted and working, how do I fix the above? I simply restored the whole system from a Time Machine backup about 4 hours before the computer died the other night, didn't do anything funny at all: how can the versions be wrong? Software Update says I have no updates necessary, where do I find an installer?
Cheers

My computer crashed and now problems reconnecting ipod-itunes.HELP

My computer recently crashed and I'm having some problems connecting things back together. Being that i lost everything on my computer, and had to reinstall the hard drive, I lost itunes and all the songs on my computer in the process, but yet I still have my ipod loaded with songs. Seeing that I'm away from home and at school, I don't have the software to reinstall my ipod. I recently downloaded a newer version of Itunes and tried connecting my ipod to it. But i get the message, " the ipod "my name" is linked to another itunes music library. Do you want to change the link to this itunes music library and replace all existing songs and playlists on this ipod with those from this library." Obviously I dont want to do that and clear out my ipod. I'm lost with what i should do to be able to connect my ipod back with an itunes programs without losing any songs, and being able to upload cds again to my ipod via itunes. PLEASE HELP

First of all, click 'no' to that message, then go to the iPod options and set your iPod to manage the songs manually.
Then you can get the songs off your iPod and into the new iTunes libary.
Check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer.
There's also another method I've seen posted. I've successfully tested this across several different Windows PCs.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
However it appears that no playlists or any other info such as ratings/last played etc will transfer.
If this is important to you, you may want to use other options.
There's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer.
When all the songs are safely back in iTunes (and not before), then you can change the iPod back to automatic transfer and continue using the iPod and iTunes as normal.

App Crash and Hang Problem

My App is already on store. It is 'File Locker' named App. It is for Windows store 8.1 only.
Users are complaining that the App crashes and so they loose their files. They are not able to open/see the locked files anymore in the App. Some Can't even see the main page of the App after crash.
These are some failure names I got from App dashboard:
APPLICATION_HANG_ACTIVATION
CLR_EXCEPTION_System.IndexOutOfRangeException
CLR_EXCEPTION_SYSTEM.UNAUTHORIZEDACCESSEXCEPTION
Can anyone please tell me what should I do in order to fix these issues?
As in my PC, the App is running fine,without any problem.
And According to the reviews and rating, I found out that the App is working fine with some while others are getting hell of the issues.
Please give suggestions.

Hi Dev06,
Per my understanding, the windows dashboard may has a channel to get the crash dump. Try getting it and use tool to analyze this dump file. See how to analyzing crash reports in windows store app.

Raw file thumbnail and preview problem in Bridge

When downloading raw files from my new Nikon D3, Bridge generates thumbnails that are a fixed size and the preview panel only shows a thumbnail as opposed to enlarging the image to fit the preview panel. Thumbnails and Preview still work fine with jpegs. My versions of CS3, Bridge and Version Cue are up to date, I believe.
Thanks...

Three things:
• You need to make sure you have updated to Photoshop 10.0.1, Bridge 2.1.1.9 and Camera Raw (ACR) 4.6.
• You need to purge the cache for the offending folders through the Tools menu in Bridge.
• You need the Bridge forum:
http://forums.adobe.com/community/bridge/bridge_macintosh?view=discussions&start=0#
Please post there if you need further Bridge help.
Raw files from the D300 are not supported by the old, obsolete version of ACR that gets installed by default by CS3. What you're seeing now is the embedded JPEG preview only, not the converted raw. That's why you have to upgrade to ACR 4.6

Album app crashes and other problems

I have my Z1 Compact for about 3 months now and I am countering bugs that effect the most basic uses of the phone.
- First the Album app crashes everytime I go to "Folders" it been like that before the latest update, and afterwards.
- The screen proximity sensor is not doing it's job. While I'm on a call sometimes my face touches different button like airplane mode, or while I'm getting a call and the phone is in my pocket my thigh touchs buttons and answer to calls.
- The favorite contact tab sometimes is blank, although I do have favorites.
- The Message app is slow and if I don't wait for it to complete sending a message and I go to the home screen, the app keeps it as draft although the message was sent..
- Camera sometimes freeze but that's been discussed enough.
- Other apps get stuck and crash sporadicaly.
I have to say that my 3 years old iphone 4 had less bugs, so its really hard for me to say I upgraded my smartphone.
Sony better do something about your own apps, because this phone doesn't worth the price and has many compatitors.

Since last version the Album cannot play gif. properly. Some image have enlarge and some pixels crack in both thumbnail preview and actual view . But the Favorite preview play just fine till I tapped to view and the same problem accure.
So I gave up on new version and back to factory version which kind of irritating....
Anyway I waited for this latest version. In this version the thumbnail preview look fine but when tapped to see the gif.still cannot played.
This doesn't make any sense
Why new version is worst than FACTORY VERSION
Thank you for considering

There are other issues as well. I have WordPress blogs and only one of them has been experiencing some issues that I think is related to Mozilla.
All of a sudden the following is missing from my WordPress blog at http://internettvdotcom.com in the admin section...
Post Excerpts, Custom Fields, Screen Options & Help Links - they are all gone! This allows me to Create/Edit blog posts and pages but now I can't -- nothing is there but the post itself.
But here's the kicker... All of these components appear when I use my Safari browser, they don't appear in my Mozilla Firefox browser (version 4.0). Also, when using the Mozilla browser to visit my site at InternetTvDotCom (only this blog and none of my other blogs) don't display certain widgets such as my Twitter and Sharebar widgets. Again Safari displays everything; there's no problem there.
The crashes have been on-going for many months.
I have other plugins and extensions. I will disable all of them again to see if this resolves the crashing issue but as you can see I'm having other issues also.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Multicam is coming.
1. Sounds like your computer is underpowered.
2. Work for me. Perhaps you aren't using the application correctly. What are you doing?
3. You don't use the arrow key. Use the correct storyline. Select the storyline shelf and use comma or period. Or Shift-comma or Shift-period.
4. See 1.
5. You can use the transform function to resize the clips so they're both visible in the viewer. Resize and position one clip on the primary. Copy and paste effects to the other clips. Resize and position one clip on the secondary, copy and paste effects to the other clips in the storyline.

Sound loss, crashes and other problems

Hello,
I have been having some serious problems over the past several months.
In the past it was fairly manageable, but recently things have been getting worse.
I have a 12-inch PowerBook G4, I bought it at the McGill bookstore in October 2004. The first problem was the apparently random crashes that Mac OS X (v.10.4.8) would experience from time to time. It was fairly infrequent at first so it didn't bother me too much (and I thought it was just some sort of glitch). But it persisted and came to be expected.
What would happen is that my screen would darken and center box would appear telling me, "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button for several seconds or press the Restart button." (it would display this message in English, French, German, and Japanese for my convenience). After I restart the computer I get the message, "The computer was restarted after Mac OS X quit unexpectedly". At first it seemed to be linked to time; after a while it would just crash, sometimes after an hour or so, sometimes after as little as five minutes. (I fear as I write this that I will have to start over). More recently I've come to associate the crashes with movement of the computer; perhaps the battery (which is pretty much dead after so much use) is affecting the performance, I don't know.
The next problem, which coincided with the crashes, was my clock being reset. I assumed this was directly associated with the spontaneous shutdown of the computer, yet though the crashes continued, the clock was not always reset (just about a third of the time). This was a pretty frustrating inconvenience given the frequency of the crashes at the beginning.
The major problem that prompted me to take action was the lose of sound. One day, about a month ago now, my sound suddenly stopped working. At first I thought it was a hardware problem, but then I noticed the sound was still working with some things and just not others. For example, the sound increase/decrease indicator (the 'pop' sound when turning up or down the sound) stopped working, yet the startup sound still worked. I've found that Realplayer, MPlayer X 2, and Windows Media Player work fine but iTunes, VLC, and Quicktime don't. Most of the applications simply don't make sound but when I try to video in VLC I get the following error: "auhal: we cannot find our HAL component" or "auhal: audio-device var does not exist. device probe failed."
Other minor errors I have come across include inability to detect the Airport card (remedied upon restarting the computer) and occasional seizing up of the keyboard (the letter keys, exclusively, were unresponsive for sometime before working again suddenly without need of restart).
I've run diagnostic tools such as Disk Utility and the 'fsck' command in single-user mode, but nothing has been detected. It consistently comes up saying that everything is alright.
I have backed-up all important files and programs (with the exception of my Firefox bookmarks, do you know how I can save those?) and am prepared to do whatever it takes to bring my computer back to working order. I need my computer for schoolwork and assignments so if I can fix it myself in anyway... I would prefer to avoid lengthly repairs if possible.
Please let me know what my options are, and/or possible things I can do to repair these problems. This whole affair is, unsurprisingly, driving me crazy.
One last thing, upon launching Microsoft Word, I get the following pop-up:
Application Launch Failure
The application "Word" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "3<Microsoft Word><Microsoft Word><MicrosoftLSLibZ>"
I do not know whether this is linked to my other problems or not. This too, is something that has recently come up and is significantly affecting my work (I have had to switch to writing my essays on TextEdit).
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Eric Oosenbrug

Hi, Eric.
1. You wrote: "...my screen would darken and center box would appear telling me, "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button for several seconds or press the Restart button.""You are describing the following message:
That indicates a kernel panic. Failure to address these when they first arise can result in bad problems becoming worse.
See my "Resolving Kernel Panics" FAQ. This FAQ includes step-by-step instructions for identifying and resolving some of the most common causes of kernel panics. The FAQ is a roadmap: start at the beginning and work systematically through the end, i.e. the "If all else fails..." section.

Good luck!

Quick view and preview problems

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I've experienced consistent problems with quick view and the preview image on column view. I always browse the Finder in column view, so for instance, if I were to browse through a folder of photos, instead of seeing a thumbnail image in the far right column, there is blank white space. If I resize the window, the thumbnail appears. Also, if I were to hit the space bar for quick view, only a white image will appear. Closing it and reopening it will correct the problem. This happens every time. The problem started when upgrading to OS X 10.8 from 10.6.8, and it persists after the 10.8.1 update. Computer is an early 2009 iMac, 2.93 GHz, GT 120 video card. Anyone seen something similar? I haven't been able to find anyone else with the problem.

I have the exact same problem and it's frustrating. I thought it was only when I double-clicked an attachment jpeg from Entourage, but it happens with all images from any source.
I've removed the plist on several occasions too, and it works fine for a while. I can't pin down when it decides to stop working again, but it does after a few image views.
It's only happened since the Snow Leopard installation. I'm up to date with all Apple updates.

Adobe and Preview problem

hello!!
I posted this question in the Appleworks forum, and later under Finder and Dock Forum here. I thought that the issue was resolved, but this is not so.
here is the problem.
I prefer Acrobat to Preview, to work on PDF documents. Therefore, I have, on multiple occassions, selected the PDF documents, and "open with" Adobe Acrobat" and "Change ALL".
However, almost every time (but not ALL the time) I log out and come back, the default changes to the Preview. As good as Preview is, the idea that my MacBook Pro is misbehaving is annoying.
Then I did the following.
1. Select on the file such as pdf.
2. Right click and select the command Open with.
3. To change the default application. Select Other...
4. Then select the Adobe application and check the Always open with button.
Even this did not solve the problem. When I log back in, the default application for PDF had changed to Preview Not always however)
Then I was told that I may have a corrupt Finder cache and that I ought to address my question here.
Atthis point, I was told:
Try using a utility called Yasu to fix the problem. You can download Yasu at http://jimmitchell.org/projects/yasu/
I did so, and for 2-3 days now, there were no problems. And now, all of a sudden, I have the same problem.
I have NOT done anything unusual with my MBP. In fact, last night, a pdf document was opened with Adobe. And then I restarted the MBP now, and, it is all back to Preview.
What ought I do?
Thanks!

Hi!
Thanks:
I did exactly what Xlabs asked me to do.
1. Quit all running applications.
2. Trash the following two files in the Macintosh HD > Library > Caches folder:
com.apple.LaunchServices-0140.csstore
com.apple.LaunchServices-014nnn.csstore
3. Restart your Mac.
4. Log in to the affected account.
5. Empty the Trash.
6. Verify that the problem is solved. If not:
Trash the com.apple.LaunchServices.plist file in the Home > Library > Preferences folder of the affected account. .
Repeat steps 1-5.
Then I selected Acrobat as the Default application, "change all" etc in get info.
When I restarted however,No Luck. Once again, Preview is the default applicaqtion for PDF.
Annoying. And on principle, I would like to know why this happens!!
Thanks for your input!

Crashing and freezing problem

Ever since I upgraded to Mountain Lion 10.8.3 with Cloud Software, my applications/programs keep freezing, crashing, or becoming unresponsive.
Please let me know if there is anything I could do to fix this.
I updated everything on my iPhone and Mac, so that's not the problem.
I also had an issue with computer going into deep sleep and not waking up unless I help the Power Button to shut it down and then the Power button again to start it back up. I use to schedule it to go to sleep at midnight, but since nothing I did fixed the problem, I have change the settings to just shut down at midnight now.
I like the whole idea of Cloud Based Software, but its not working properly and I have all sorts of issues now.
PLEASE HELP, and thanks in advance.

Maybe this will help with the sleep issue:
Sleep - Wakeup
Your profile shows 10.8.2.
If reinstalling the updater doesn't fix things, hereb are some other troubleshooting recommendations:
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Photoshop saving and preview problem in Mavericks

Using photoshop CS3 in Mavericks and I get a ‘can't save file because it is already in use or was left open’ message when I try and save a photoshop file.
Found a fix online which is to turn off ‘Show preview column’ in show view options, but this is a pain because I like to have the preview with image and file info.
Is there a way around this, seems a strange way to get around this problem.

Three things:
• You need to make sure you have updated to Photoshop 10.0.1, Bridge 2.1.1.9 and Camera Raw (ACR) 4.6.
• You need to purge the cache for the offending folders through the Tools menu in Bridge.
• You need the Bridge forum:
http://forums.adobe.com/community/bridge/bridge_macintosh?view=discussions&start=0#
Please post there if you need further Bridge help.
Raw files from the D300 are not supported by the old, obsolete version of ACR that gets installed by default by CS3. What you're seeing now is the embedded JPEG preview only, not the converted raw. That's why you have to upgrade to ACR 4.6

HP PSC1600 and preview problem

Trying to print and have difficulties...
I believe I have the latest driver for the PSC1600 but when I go to
File->Page Set Up: check any Orientation
File-> Print-> Print Preview: always shows the picture in landscape.
When I then physically print it actually did the Orientation how I asked for but the preview just does not show what I set up in 'page set up'
anyone who can help?

Thank you for the response. The most important part of that information was the OS. Now that I have that, please try these steps which will be able to be completed: Troubleshooting HP System Recovery Problems (Windows 7)
Please try these steps and let me know the results. Thanks!
