CS3 Crashing on Leopard?

A couple of weeks ago I got a new 2 x 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon Mac Pro with 8 GB RAM, running 10.5.7. I use two monitors (NEC 2490WUxi with calibrator and a 24" NEC Multisync for my palette monitor) and have 2 stock NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 cards to run them.
I am using Photoshop CS3 (10.0.1), which has been crashing daily on the new machine. I thought maybe CS4 would run better on the new machine, so I downloaded the trial version but the crashing continued.
Perhaps related, I have also been getting a crosshair or an arrow cursor or other odd symbols in the center of my brush cursor (which is set to Normal Brush Tip) periodically over the last weeks. It didn't cause any problems, but would indicate something awry.
The other morning Photoshop crashed (again) and so did Mail (which I can't recall ever happening on any machine I've owned) so I did a zero-out erase and install of the system, and reinstalled CS3, and which just crashed agin this morning. I've searched the web and these forums and don't see anything similar. I know that I'm behind the curve using CS3, but since it happened with CS4, too, I don't think it's a version-specific problem.
I have Photoshop prefs set the same on the new system that I did on my old one, which was a dual G5, 6 GB RAM, running 10.4.11. In memory allocation I have it set to 100% and I also have history states set to the max (1000) and a separate internal scratch disk (295 GB). My OS drive has 380 GB free. The machine runs all night and this crashing happens in new users.
Any insights would be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Zina

Paul,
Dual video cards = crashes in all cases.
Matching Dual Video Cards = few occasional crashes.
Non-matching video cards = crashes consistently
I really don't think the GL features factor into it that much. It's the
Apple video drivers. The OS simply is not well-designed for multiple
video cards in a video-intense application. As I've posted, I run dual
8800 cards and still have about 2 crashes an 8 hour day. Crashes
generally occur when doing the most rudimentary things, like dragging a
layer between two documents. I simply save more often. The 11.0.1
update helped a bit, but not completely. And CS3 never crashed with
dual 7300s installed.

  • Photoshop CS3 Crashes After Leopard Install

    I tried upgrading to Leopard years ago from Tiger but downgraded back because of this same issue. I know I need to upgrade my system so I just installed Leopard again and again the same issue with Photoshop CS3 arises. After the install I am unable to open Photoshop, it just crashes. I imagine someone has to have an answer to this by now. Please help!
    Thanks.

  • InDesign CS3 crashing on Leopard at Start

    I've seen on here other problems people have been having with Adobe inDesign CS3, but my problem is different.
    I can't even open inDesign.
    I got my Macbook a few days ago, which came with Leopard, and I installed Adobe CS3 Design Premium for Education. The other programs I've opened work fine, Flash, Dreamweaver, and Photoshop, but inDesign won't open. It tells me "The application InDesign has unexpectedly quit."
    I haven't opened inDesign at all yet, but this keeps happening. I can't even get past the main screen when it's loading.
    Anyone have this problem and/or know how to deal with it?
    Thanks!

    Here's mine. Ever since upgrading to Leopard my indesign crashes ALL THE TIME! I have about 20 logs. This is the latest, *please help!!!*

  • Indesign CS3 Crash using Leopard 10.5

    I installed Leopard 10.5 last night and my Adobe InDesign (version 5.0) program crashes everytime I try to open it. My other Adobe CS3 programs seem to be working fine. Adobe's website says there are compatibility problems with some elements of Adobe CS3, but claims that InDesign is compatible with Leopard. I am on vacation in New York and don't have access to my Adobe discs to reinstall the program. Is anyone else having this same problem? Are there any patches I could download to fix it? Help!

    I've tested InDesign 5.01 without problem on my aluminium Intel iMac (with Leopard installed). Several users have noted on Adobe blogs that they have encountered problems with the Hide function after upgrading. Quick Look doesn't work with ID files, reportedly because InDesign stores its previews as bitmaps, the resolution being set by ID's File Handling Preference - something Adobe will need to update for Quick Look.

  • DW CS3 crashes on Mac Leopard

    Hi,
    I got used to the lame Fireworks CS3 version on the Mac but
    now am getting totally pissed with DW CS3. it keeps on crashing
    specifically when I return to it after doing something else for
    example working on Photoshop. it seems like this happens when DW
    needs to allocate RAM or something. I don't think it crashes when I
    am working only on DW and FW but when many apps are open DW will be
    the one that will crash.
    thanks
    Mic

    Nope - no crash. Clicking anywhere on the page, either in
    Code view or
    Design view has no detrimental effect for me.

  • InDesign CS3 crashing in Mac 10.6.8

    As suggested by John Hawkinson in the InDesign CS3 crashes when printing in OSX Lion thread I've started a new discussion for this.
    I'm running Snow Leopard - 10.6.8. I would like to upgrade to Lion but until I can confirm CS3 is all working I'd rather not. I bought CS3 initally when I was in a much better financial situation and currently I just can't afford the upgrade to CS5. So I need to make this work the best I can for the time being but since the last OS update I'm getting lots of problems.
    The first problem is placing an image. I go to file, click place and as I'm navigating to an image and the application just closes. I get a "Problem Report for InDesign" dialog and the message "Indesign quit unexpectedly"
    http://pastebin.com/sGnLp21B
    The second problem is exporting to pdf. I click export, choose PDF and regardless of whatever settings I choose when I click export I get this crash report:
    http://pastebin.com/vwBDfBaF
    The file I'm working on was created prior to upgrading to 10.6.8 and allowed me to place images and export just fine. I wondered it if was a corrupted file but I have since started new ones with exactly the same results.
    When I initally googled this problem I found someone with a similar kind of error and they suggested creating a new account worked for them and they were able to run CS3 as before. I tried that and it did indeed work. So I can run a copy of CS3 (not updated, installed as it was straight out of the box) fine on a second account but this one seems to crash on even the most minor of jobs.
    I initally had some problems installing CS3 on my macbook pro (prior to this machine I'd had a mac pro running tiger without issue). I found the Adobe Updater would cause Illustrator to crash when opening after the updates had all been applied. I fixed this problem by doing a fresh install and updating each application manually by downloading the updates from the support site. Until now I had not had anymore issues.
    If more information is needed please just let me know, I've not posted here before so it's quite possible I missed something.

    Hi.
    The first thing to notice is that you're not running the current version of CS3:
    Version:         5.0.0.458 (5000)
    The latest update to CS3 is 5.0.4, which I believe has fixes for a bunch of similar problems: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4029
    . You should definitely install the update before we look too-too closely at the crashes.
    Are you using Version Cue? The first crash report appears to be related to it.
    The second one...I forgot how CS3 sometimes doesn't include symbol information in the crash report. It's a bit of a pain to figure it out, so I'll defer until we see if the update doesn't solve your problem. Though the Apple version of the crash report may have more information, if you get that or have access to it (it should be visible in Console.app in ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter.
    So I can run a copy of CS3 (not updated, installed as it was straight out of the box) fine on a second account but this one seems to crash on even the most minor of jobs.
    I initally had some problems installing CS3 on my macbook pro (prior to this machine I'd had a mac pro running tiger without issue).

    I'm not quite sure I follow -- it sounds like you're aware there are updates, but you mention updating as it if is per-account. But it's not. When you update InDesign (or anything Adobe) on one account, the updates get applied across-the-board to the whole system.
    What is different between user accounts is InDesign preferences, so if they have gotten corrupt, you can have problems. (There are other differences, too, of course...).
    You should update InDesign to 5.0.4 and then trash your InDesign preferences (see the link in the Troubleshooting 101 box on the main forum page), and see if that helps.

  • Photoshop & InDesign CS3 Crashing when Saving to Network

    Hi,
    Photoshop & InDesign CS3 crashes whenever I try to save a file over the network to a shared computer we are using as a server.
    SPECIFICS
    I'm running Leopard 10.5.2
    - I have tried reinstalling the entire Creative Suite
    - I did not reinstall Version Cue
    - Tried deleting the com.adobe.mediabrowser.p.ist and Photoshop.plist preferences.
    ALSO:
    - If I create a new file on my computer and then immediately save it, it usually does not crash on the first save. But after I do a few things to the file and then try to save again, it hangs up.
    -I am unable to force quit Photoshop; I have to do a hard reboot.
    Adobe tech support believes it is a network problem. If so, what needs to be done to fix the network?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    I've heard rumors of the "don't work from the server" thing from our IT department a few times but now I'm seeing it for myself. They are now using this thread as the reason our machines are experiencing so many crashes and errors again. Basically chalking it up to us working off the network is the culprit since they can't find anything else wrong. and since it's not supported by Adobe then were doing it wrong. But none of the workflow solutions we've looked seem faster than just saving to a network. So I'm a bit at a loss...
    How are people dealing with the time it takes to copy files from the server to local and back again. How are people integrating this into workflow's where multiple people need to see and work in the same document multiple times a day?
    A large part of our workload is sometimes thousand page catalogs, mostly our files are 15-25 meg InDesign files and might get up around 50 megs or so and be linked to as much as 5 gigs of image data in the extreme. I can't imagine how much time that would take to copy and work and then copy back, then if someone else were to copy and work and copy back, etc... It's almost like we'd have to copy each section to one computer and make everyone play musical chairs to come and work on the file when they needed too so we only had to copy it from the server once!
    I've done a few catalog covers where the working files sometimes got up over 4 gigs, (and yes with something like this I was working local), but there were days where saving my work back to the server was like 45 minutes, a few times I had issues with the save and I'd be there screwing around for an hour and a half to make sure my work was backed up on the server. I can't imagine having to go through that every time I needed to work on a large Indesgn file that had 4-5 gigs of linked images.
    Does everybody really work this way...? Or is there a magic network setup that allows a sane server side workflow? I know my IT people are compotent profesionals, but perhaps they just haven't heard the latest and greatest for Network CS Suite set up???
    Personally, every time we get new boxes on our desks everything runs great for 6-8? months and then slowly but surely things get buggy and the next thing you know there's smoke coming out of your Dell. They say they fixed it and replaced the damage but the errors continue...
    Anyway, I'm really shocked that working over the server is a no no. Unless you had a very small work group I think this must be a nightmare!!!

  • Photoshop CS3 crashes on "save as" command

    Hi all,
    I'm running Photoshop CS 3 edition on Leopard. Photoshop crashes every time I try to "save as". Has anyone else experienced this issue? I have 2 gigs of ram on a new iMac.
    Thanks,
    John

    I too am having the same issue with Photoshop CS3 crashing everytime I SAVE or SAVE AS, and when I choose File>open while the programs is running.
    I am running
    Mac OS X 10.4.11
    Mac Book Pro 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    2GB RAM
    I had been running the program successfully for over six months until a couple days ago.
    I have verified/repaired permissions, reinstalled the entire Creative Suite, trashed preferences and reduced memory usage all with no luck.

  • Indesign Crash using Leopard 10.5

    I installed Leopard 10.5 last night and my Adobe InDesign (version 5.0) program crashes everytime I try to open it. My other Adobe CS3 programs seem to be working fine.

    WOOOO HOOOO! IT IS JUST A FONT CONFLICT!!!!! I think....
    After days of trying to figure out why, after installing Leopard, InDesign CS3 crashes every time I tried to open "certain" files... I finally figured it out - at least on my system. I emphasize "certain" files, because InDesign would open certain InDesign files flawlessly... and crash when trying to other InDesign files. I narrowed it down to a handful of files and the only thing that these files had in common was one particular font. Well as it turns out, upon installation, Leopard put a bunch of new fonts into my system folder. I am also using Suitcase Fusion to manage my fonts. When starting the "culprit" files, Suitcase Fusion would try to "auto-activate" a font that was already activated at start-up in the system folder. After removing the "duplicate" font from my system folder - and restarting my computer - everything was back to normal seems to work fine now. I am not much of a computer technician.... but this worked for me. Let me know if this helps you too.

  • Adobe Bridge CS3 crashes on load in my Windows 7 workstation.

    Adobe Bridge CS3 crashes on load in my Windows 7 workstation.
    I recently completely removed, deactivated and reinstalled all my Adobe Creative Suite CS3 Master Collection to solve some problems with other application from the suite and now I'm surprise Bridge continues to fail. In my portable workstation the same software (Bridge) uses to work.
    I tried launching Bridge under several compatibility modes. All failed.
    Is there any know bug I should be aware of? Any fix?
    Is this a common problem?

    Curt Y. Thank you for your answer.
    It was only Bridge who was crashing. It failed to load and Windows was giving an error message.
    I tried your suggestion, and resetting all options in the reset window it now loads. It was as simple as that.

  • 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.

    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...

  • Adobe Photoshop CS3 crashing at open file screen

    Hi all
    I've searched online but can't find a relative discussion or solution.
    I have Adobe Photoshop CS3. My system is Windows 7 and it's 64-bit (that's about as far as my hardware/technical knowledge goes...).
    The problem has only started happening today. Open PS, and go to FILE>OPEN. A sub screen is opened. On the left of this sub-screen are a variety of short cut locations such as 'My Documents', 'My Pictures' and 'My Computer'. Clicking on any of these shortcut tabs results in PS crashing.
    The only thing I can think of that has changed since the last time I used PS CS3 on my machine (and I use it daily) is the following:
    Installed trial version of Autodesk AutoCAD LT 2014
    From this, to watch a Flash video of AutoCAD demo I had to download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player (it was 2011 I believe).
    Following the CS3 crashing problems I uninstalled Flash player and re-started but still no luck.
    Have not touched AutoCAD yet.
    Any thoughts / comments? My company is looking to invest in AutoCAD so CS3 will need to learn to live alongside AutoCAD (IF AutoCAD is the problem, but I think this is unlikely).
    Let me know what you all think!
    Thanks
    David

    Thanks for all the replies.
    We (myself and our company IT guy) just tried several of the above, plus some other things.
    1. Shift/ctl/alt reset preferences. Did not solve the problem.
    2. Video driver upgrade. Did not solve the problem.
    3. Complete reinstall of CS3. Did not solve the problem.
    4. Install old video driver (apparently this solved a similar problem in another area of the company). Did not solve the problem.
    5. System rollback/restore (to 20-11-2013 settings). PROBLEM SOLVED!
    We have a suspicion therefore that the Autodesk AutoCAD LT 2014 may be something to do with it. We will find out later/tomorrow as I need to get some stuff done in CS3 now (can't afford more lost time!).
    Will update once we have reinstalled AutoCAD LT 2014 as to whether this changed anything.
    Thanks again
    David

  • InDesign CS3 crashes without error when opening any 2nd InDesign file

    Issue: InDesign CS3 crashes without error and remains resident in memory if we have an InDesign file open and attempt to open a second InDesign file.
    OS: Win XP SP2
    InDesign Version: 5.0.2
    Hardware: Dell Precision WorkStation T3400, 4 gigabytes of memory, Intel Core2 Quad processor Q6600
    Details: No messages in the event viewer about the problem. We renamed the InDesign Defaults and the InDesign Saved Data file. We removed Creative Suite, restarted and then reinstalled Creative Suite (I could not remove and reinstall InDesign individually). We have created a new Windows profile for this user. I have one computer having the trouble. Other InDesign installations are working fine. This computer has 559 files in C:\windows\fonts. Other people that are not having the problem have a larger number of fonts installed.
    The issue is not file specific. We are not running out of memory as I checked the task manager after the first InDesign document is open.
    Why is opening a second document different than opening the first document?

    Hello Peter and Josh,
    I'd just like to assert that I am having the exact same problem as Josh. I've spent the time to go through the steps listed above and have found the same results.
    The issue as we see it multiple times daily is as follows:
    (1) User opens File1 (everything works fine)
    (2) User goes to open File2 (via explorer or via file->open) or print File1
    (3) The User Interface for ID disappears (InDesign.exe still appears in Task Manager and is NOT listed as "Not Responding", ID does not appear in the Task Bar)
    (4) The only way to continue work is to End Task/End Process InDesign.exe and relaunch.
    No error messages appear, no error logs are created(that I can find). Non-related concerns caused us to upgrade this users PC. With a completely new install we are still having the problems. The systems are listed as follows:
    OS: Win XP SP2 (fully updated minus SP3)
    InDesign Version: 5.0.2
    Newest Hardware: Custom Built Computer, 4GB RAM installed (3.24 recognized by windows), Intel Core2 Quad processor Q6600 @ 2.4Ghz
    OS: Win XP SP2 (fully updated minus SP3)
    InDesign Version: 5.0.2
    Older Hardware: Custom Built Computer, Intel D945GTP Motherboard, 2GB RAM installed, Intel Pentium D processor @ 2.8Ghz
    Troubleshooting:
    (1) Alt+Space and M then using arrow keys moves every other window the user had opened other than In-Design. The user has two monitors. (a) 1280x1024 and (b) 1200x1600 (yes she uses the monitor rotated 90 degrees
    (2) Log files - Non exist in the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS3 folder. I've also done a search across the entire hard drive for any "*.log" files, none of which were adobe related.
    (3) Default Printer - Changing the default printer to Adobe PDF is not really an option. I was able to convince the user to temporarily switch to a different networked printer and await the results (most likely today or tomorrow it should recreate)
    (4) /3GB switch - Getting that last 700 something MB of memory isn't an issue. I've run MemTest.exe on all the available system memory overnight in a "burn in" test. The system ran fine the sticks were nice and warm when I got in from all the hard work :)
    (5) Order of Opening - The problem repeates regardless of order. The trick seems to be opening File2 or printing File1 (I had the user only work on one file at a time (required her to close any open files before opening the next, that wasn't fun for my user but the system didn't crash on opening in this scenario, just on printing. Obviously not a permanent work around)
    Any help here would be much appreciated as this has been plaguing us for months now.

  • Bridge CS3 crash

    One of my Macs (G5 Power Mac, 10.4.11, CS3) crashes when browsing certain folders on my Xserve (2009 Xserve, 10.5 Server, Nehalem proc, AFP connections, active directory). One consistency is that it always crashes when browsing to folders containing EPS files, sometimes PDF or TIF files as well.
    It looks like the error related to Classes being implemented in multiple locations could be at fault. I may try disabling them in one location to see if it works.
    Here is the log when launching Bridge:

    Ramon what i just did was uninstall Photoshop cs3 and reinstalled it, then installed the updates for both bridge and photoshop, photoshop works fine but when you launch bridge the icon in the doc starts bouncing and then it stops, so know i cant even get bridge to launch, it doesnt even open to the point where i get a crash report, any ideas?

  • DW CS3 Crash

    I was stepping my way through a tutorial on the Adobe.Com
    site when Dreamweaver CS3 crashed and Windows asked me if I wanted
    to send a report to Microsoft. Very odd. I've been using DW CS3
    since it came out, and have never before seen it crash.
    The tutorial is the one at:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/addt_image_gallery_pt1_03.html
    I completed step 5, at which point the crash occurred. It
    happens every time that I open that file (upload_image.php).
    Another strange thing about it is that it ONLY crashes if I am in
    the CODE view, but not in the DESIGN view of Dreamweaver.
    Can anyone suggest what might be wrong here? If you've got
    the time, I'd like to hear if you can go through that same tutorial
    without a problem.
    Thanks
    Dreamweaver 9.0, build 3481

    Seems rather late for this to be happening, but you might be
    a victim of
