CS3 crashes every time at quit

Howdy all, this post is similar but not identical to others. EVERY TIME that I use CS3 10.0.1 the application crashes when I use the menu to "QUIT PHOTOSHOP." This occurs even if I have opened the application and NEVER opened a photo at all! My MAC OS is 10.5.5. I am running on an Intel iMac of 20 inches. I have 3 GB of RAM and have a 235 GB hard drive of which 132 GB is free. On the iMac I have Parallels installed but this happens even if I am not running Parallels; ie. even if I have not been using XP at all. In fact it happens even if Photoshop is the ONLY application running. I have an Epson 2400 printer, a Linksys router, and a Brother 2040 laser on the system. I also have an HP 2175 scanner, but the crash occurs even if I have this turned off and disconnected from the system. The error message that I get is " The application Photoshop quite unexpectedly. " I use the Apple automatic check for updates function and that is how I got to this version of Mac OS.
Does anyone have any suggestions? This happens every time. When using Photoshop I do not get any crashes, and it seems to work trouble free. ONLY when I go to close do I get these error messages.

Solved!! I have no idea what was wrong, and no idea what I did to correct the problem, but it works now. First I re-installed Mac OS. Leopard and checked for ALL of the available updates. At that point I attempted to boot Photoshop, but I got a message that I needed to re-install CS3. After re-installing this, tedious I might add, and attempting to start the application, edit some photos, etc, then QUIT the application all was fine again. I might add, that I was NEVER able to delete the custom workspace that I created within Bridge. I could not find a file with that name and using the menu option to delete the workspace was not effective. At this point the application works fine, as does the custom workspace within Bridge . I must therefore conclude that the workspace was never the culprit in this strange order of events.

Please respond. InDesign CC crashes every time I quit. I'm on Windows 7. (edit)

InDesign CC crashes every time I quit. Prefs are not saved. I'm on Windows 7. I've rebuilt the prefs several times. Crash on quit happens on InD CC 64 and InD CC. In Windows, Batang is part of a "collection"; Batang, BatangChe, Gungsuh, and GungsuhChe and is a system protected font. Hard to remove. Is Batang the problem on Windows as well as Mac?
Edit: I have not uninstalled CS6, so I'm running both versions. I doubt that this could make any difference, but who knows.

yes. I am having this problem and I think it is both ABSURD and RIDICULOUS because Adobe CS6 works fine.

I have been using Adobe software since 2002 and this is typical. I have had a DECADE, yes, 10 years of patching, reinstalling, re-starting, removing things, running obscure command line scripts, Adobe blaming windows, windows ignoring adobe, Apple acting like they dont know, Adobe doing the same.
As a WARNING to anyone still using CS6, my opinion: "dont uptate YET" cause Adobe made it disgustingly difficult to roll back to CS6.
system restore is your friend...
yes, I am cranky. Last thing I need is the 3 hour game of grab bag forum hockey download this and jump through this hoop cause we forced you to update with no rollback. *sigh*

Photoshop CS3 crashes every time I try "safe as" command!

Hi
My Photoshop CS3 crashes every time I try "safe as" command, I am on OsX 10.5.6. I tried to reinstall the problem is still there, permissions are fixed, I have no idea what happened. It worked for years without problems and now all of the sudden that. The only change I did on the machine is to install PGP.
Any ideas??
Thanks

>It is not a notebook, but a MacPro 32GB RAM ( I think it should be enough) over 700GB for scratch and 160GB HD. I don't think that it is PGP, because the same configuration runs on my 2.6 Macbook Pro perfectly.
Understand that the two machines are not running
exactly the same configuration -- unless you've got 32GB RAM stuffed inside and have matching drives, applications, third-party software/utilities/plugins, OS, and application preference settings on both.
I'm trying to figure out what is different on the two systems.
Also, how did you prepare the computer when you ran upgrades? Did you run Disk Utility and DiskWarrior?

Elements 9.0.3 for Mac crashes every time I quit program

I receive an error every time I quit PSE. I always do File->Quit to leave the program, but even that causes a crash. I have the crash file, but because of its length I don't want to post that here, but it might help someone understand the problem. I always get the window that asks me if I want to send a report to Adobe, which I've done several times. I don't want to do an update to PSE 10 or 11, since I'm afraid it would just update an already corrupted program and leave me no better than I am now.
I'm using Lion, version 10.7.5.
Any help would be appreciated.

So, if I understand you correctly, it's not really crashing, just throwing out the crash message when you tell it to quit?
Try this. Go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 paths
Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 settings
That library is hidden in 10.7. To see it, option-click the Go menu in the Finder. While you're in there, go to the Saved Application States folder and delete everything related to PSE.
Repair permissions and try again.

Flash CS3 crashes every time

After using Flash CS3 and trying to quit the software, it locks up. I have to use Macintosh "force quit" utility every time. If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it. Here are my system specs.
Mac OS 10.5.8
Flash CS3, 9.0

You could try re-installing the software - ...or you could try calling tech support and wait on hold for an hour or two before someone from another part of the world tries to walk you through a couple more hours of frustration before telling you they've tried everything they know - "maybe it's your computer"...
Sorry if I sound synical, but I just spent $1800 on a full e-Learning suite that won't load, and I've spent two full days back and forth and on hold with Adobe's so-called support to no avail - and now it "must be my computer causing a conflict..."
So... "I could try re-installing the Operating System and wiping the computer clean" (and re-installing ALL of my previous softwares), and that might help...
Good luck with your issue... At least they "apologize for the inconvenience" when it crashes...

CS3 crashes, every time I open it

Flash cs3 crashes on me every time I open it. Sometimes I can open a file before it crashes and sometimes it crashes even if it's just the software that's open.
The message I get is the generic Windows "Flash has closed unexpectedly would you like to send an error report, sorry for the inconvenience"...
It makes it hard to get any work done when the software won't run properly.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

CS4 AE Crashes Every Time I Quit

I know about the Crash Reporter and the Apple Crash report which I have sent many times. Just looking for a couple suggestions on how to try to troubleshoot this or what to look for in the Crash Report that may help me. I will not post the report here, just looking for some overview suggestions.
I get this literally every time I close AE CS4:
Thanks for any suggestions!
Brad Loflin

Hello, Brad.
This is very likely a known issue, which makes the application crash on exit when script panels are docked.
Check this technical support document to see if this is indeed the cuprit and how to avoid it.
If this is the problem you're experiencing, the AE team is working on a solution.
BTW, thanks for filing the data in Adobe Crash Reporter and sending it.

45 minutes into editing, CS3 crashes every time...how much free space does it require to run?

I have noted the error, but cannot contact Adobe with question. How much free space does it need to run efficiently? This happens every time I try to edit and is costing me so much time, it is not worth using this product. Help...

Hi,
I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing this problem. First, I would need to know what kind of computer you use. You should usually alllocate at least 30% of storage for photoshop files, rendering etc.
Also, it is important to know if you have a computer that is capable of handling large files(as they will need a competent video card processor, RAM and processor speed).
Does the problem usually happen for large files or only one?
Let me know if you find this information useful,
Vicente.

Premiere Pro Crash every time I quit the program

This has been a constant problem over the last several months. Sometimes it's harmless, but I believe it's leading to corrupt files in certain cases and I'm losing work and time because of it.
This is the problem:
1. I working in PP and I save my project.
2. After saving I quit and I get the error message the my project crashed, which then prompts me to send an error report to apple + adobe
What on earth would be causing this to happen?
For starters I'm working on a brand new MacBook Pro. I'm on the latest version of PP CC which is version 7.2.2
Please help me get the the bottom of this. It makes no sense that a professional program such as this would be unstable.

AE crashes every time I quit application

When I am done for the day and go to close AE CC2014 (release 13.1.1), I get a crash report with the screen below. Standard layout with 1 additional ScriptUI panel (Ease and Wizz) open.
Project saves fine, but when I Quit, I get an error and crash log without fail. Only started doing it with the new update.
Any ideas?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

I have an iPad 1 and after I got the latest update for keynote and Now it crashes every time I try to open it

Do you have iOS 5.1.1 on your original iPad? If not update the iOS.
You might also try quitting the app and then reset the pad.
Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
Still no joy? Delete the Keynote app, reset the iPad and then reinstall Keynote. You will not have to pay for downloading it again.
