CS4 becomes non-responsive when I right click

When I go to open a document in CS4 and then try to right click, delete or move files while I'm in the open screen, Photoshop becomes non-responsive and I have to shut it down and restart it, thereby losing any unsaved work. It's been doing it for awhile and I've tried to find a solution, but haven't had any luck. I've deleted my cache and that didn't fix the problem.
Can anyone help, please?

Check the mouse/driver. The functions you mention are controlled by the OS even though you are in PS.

ITunes now becomes non-responsive when adding new music

Hello.
For a few months now iTunes has gone from quick importing of new mp3 and m4a files from my desktop, down to very slow importing after a long pinwheel, and now finally the endless pinwheel whenever I add any files. (It can go on hours, and requires force quit). My collection is large (50k files / 1TB or so), and the media sits on an external hard drive, but I have tried creating a new library from scratch on the desktop (and internal hard drive) and I still get the same endless pinwheel when adding just a few new files. The only other clue I have is that when the importing slowness just started, a third party metatagging application I use (TuneUp) was not recognizing the newly imported files as having been imported by iTunes, whereas I did use iTunes to import.
I am loathe to create a new library altogether as I've done much editing within iTunes to my large collection. (See this article: iTunes: How to re-create your iTunes library and playlists - Apple Support)
I am using latest Yosemite version (10.10.2) on a 2011 Mac Mini with a recent SSD inside (iTunes worked fine after the SSD upgrade a year ago).
Thanks for any help!

Start by removing "TuneUp." See whether there's an improvement.
Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
I never install system modifications myself, and except as stated in this comment, I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button. The uninstaller might also be accessed by clicking the Customize button, if there is one.
Back up all data before making any changes.
You will generally have to restart the computer in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, there may be no effect, or unpredictable effects.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.

Photoshop Elements 10 becomes non-responsive when using Dust & Scratch filter

Trying to apply the remove dust & noise filter in PS Elements 10. When the filter is applied, the hand tool becomes locked on and nothing further can be selected. All menu options become greyed out. Cannot even close program, have to force quit (running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4). Have already reset all tool options to try & resolve the hand tool locking. Have only encountered problem with this filter.
I've got a bunch of scanned photos I really need to use the Dust & Scratches filter for. Any help would be appreciated!

Restore default preferences
Preference settings control how Photoshop Elements displays images, cursors, and transparencies, saves files, uses plug‑ins and scratch disks, and so on. If the application exhibits unexpected behavior, the preferences file may be damaged. You can restore all preferences to their defaults.
Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift immediately after Photoshop Elements begins launching. Click Yes to delete the Adobe Photoshop Elements settings file.
A new preferences file is created the next time you start Photoshop Elements.

Firefox becomes non-responsive when I use hotmail, and stops working. Why?

Whenever I sign into my hotmail account, Firefox stops working. The entire window dulls and I cannot do anything. This only happens with Hotmail.

I've started having the same problem quite frequently. The iTunes store is quite often extremely slow, and when it's like that, using the search box renders iTunes useless. Then I have to end-task from the task manager. I just went through that process three times in a row and finally the forth time I was able to search.
iTunes 9.0.3

Keyboard sometimes becomes non responsive when browsing.

It doesn't happen all the time, just randomly. If I quit chrome then the window shoots to the left of the screen. I drag it back over & it's working again. any ideas?

Now that I was sent by Microsoft to your download update site to get the latest version 4.0.1, Firefox crashes (becomes non-responsive) before opening any site page I try. When will you fix this problem?

For two weeks I have tried to use your automatic download of the latest version 4.0.1. It would sit there telling me it is trying to connect to the download computer for hours, several times overnight. Then, it became non-responsive and error messages were sent to Microsoft who directed me to your download site. After downloading your latest version several times, the new page would open. After selecting a bookmarked site, it would open (sometimes only partially) but when I tried to scroll down, it would freeze up and become non-responsive, again prompting error messages to Microsoft. They must be getting a kick out of this. I'm running a Gateway 7200S desktop with Microsoft XP and Intel single range Pentium 4 processor. I have been using your Mozilla Firefox as my default browser for several years with much satisfaction. Unfortunately, whatever upgrades were made have rendered it useless for me.

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

When I right click "save image as" on a JPG file, I get no response at all. How can I fix this?

I am running Firefox 34.0 on Linux (Fedora 20, KDE desktop). I checked the Mozilla download site and it says I have the latest version. When I right click on a JPEG file to save it, I get the "save image as" option, but when I select it, nothing happens. The file is not downloading. I google searched for fixes and tried all of the following, per the Mozilla support documents, all with no change in response:
- Changing the download folder
- Reseting the relevant preferences in the about.config folder
- clearing the download history
- Running Firefox in Safe Mode
Additionally, I verified under preferences that jpeg image is set to "always ask".
All other references to this problem seem to refer to problematic plugins, but the safe mode check shows that is not my issue. Any idea what the issue could be and how I can fix it?

As previously stated, when I run with all of the addons disabled, the problem still exists. I just tried this again and verified it again. Per your suggestion, I created a new profile and found that the save image as command worked. Do you have any idea what part of the profile is corrupted and causing the problem? I'd like to localize the problem so I can save as much of my old profile as possible, and not have to start over rebuilding all of my settings.

I can't launch Safari. When I right click on the icon, the "Application not responding" is grey and no matter what method I use to Force quit, I get no response.

Do a backup.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart the computer, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.

Server 2008 becomes non-responsive intermittently

Hi,
I have a virtual server which becomes non-responsive intermittently. The mstsc command will not give the login window and will push me back to the mstsc login screen ( where we enter the hostname we want to remote into ). If I try to login from Vmware console;
after entering the credentials and hit enter, it will push me back to the login screen again. Then I will be left with one option, which is reset it from console.
Can someone help me here to solve it? Why its happening and what is the resolution ?
Thanks in advance,
Noufal

Hi
are there any errors in the event log when this happens? Is this server a domain controller?
When it doesnt respond are you still able to ping the server?
Hope this helps. Please remember to click “Mark as Answer” on the post that helps you, and to click “Unmark as Answer” if a marked post does not actually answer your question. This can be beneficial to other community members reading the thread.
Yes, see if you can ping both IP and Host name at this point. I have seen this happen in a non domain environment.

Address Book becoming non-responsive

I have taken the I-mac (Lion 10.75) to the genius bar 3 times because the Address book program becomes non responsive after I spend some trying to clean up duplicate addresses (merging them) and updating information. The first time they said to remove one of the Address book preferences, then the last time, after re-installing trhe operating system, they said to remove ALL the preferrences if it happened again. It did, and I did, but it did not work. Specifically, the adress book will not search by name and continues to download duplicate adresses from some mysterious place that is not I-Cloud because the addresse are (mostly) in order on the Cloud.
Does anybody have a fix? Or a recommendation for another address book program that I can synch between I-Mac, I phone and tablets?

Note: These instructions are for OS X 10.8 or later. In OS X 10.7, the procedure is the same, but the application is named "Address Book" instead of "Contacts."
Step 1
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.AddressBookSourceSync
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. Log out, log back in, and test. If there's no change, go to the next step.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 2
A. If you use iCloud, uncheck the box marked Contacts in the iCloud preference pane. Press return to confirm, or click Keep on Mac in the dialog that opens.
B. From the list of groups on the left side of the Contacts window, select All On My Mac. If that group doesn't exist or is empty, skip this step. Otherwise, from the menu bar, select
File ▹ Export ▹ Export vCard
Save the exported contacts to the Desktop.
C. Quit Contacts. Triple-click the text on the line below on this page to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard (command-C):
~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V), and press return.
A Finder window will open with a folder selected. Move the selected folder to the Desktop, leaving the window open for now.
D. Launch Contacts. Your contacts will be gone. If you took Step 2, then double-click the file you created in that step and confirm that you want to import from it. Your contacts will reappear.
E. Re-enable Contacts in the iCloud preference pane, if you disabled it. Test. If the issue is resolved, delete the AddressBook folder and the vCard file on the Desktop and close the open folder window.
Otherwise, quit Contacts again and put the AddressBook folder back where it was, overwriting the newer one that will have been created in its place. Post your results.

My Ipad 2 no longer displays anything.It may come on for a few seconds,but then half of the screen goes completely black, and the system becomes non responsive to all bottons. At other times all four sides of the display becomes black, about 1/4 inch.

Can anyone help me on this one? I got my IPAD 2 in June 2011. It never gave problems until a few days ago. It began to "hang", becoming non-responsive to all buttons. Then just yesterday morning, it went totally black. The display no longer displays. The Battery was charged 96%. I tried the power adapter, but had the same result. I tried the resetting, holding the two buttons for 10 seconds or more but no result. I have already restored it to the factory setting,(via my PC) and put back my apps etc. But after all this I still cannot see anything on the screen.
I know it is still working, because from time to timer I hear the message alerts, and other sounds.
Waht is the likely solution?

Try a Reset...
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
If no joy... Try a Restore...
1: Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the steps in this article to force the device into recovery mode.

I'm having the same issue. I got a new PC, insalled Acrobat X pro and when I right click on an Office file, I could not combine or convert Office files to PDF. I upgraded to Acrobat XI and still no fix. I triled to convert or combine office files to PDF from within Acrobat and I get an error message saying "Acrobat does not support the conversion of one or more of your files to PDF. Please remove these files or go to Settings and choose the PDF Portfolio option".
I've tried to convert or combine Office 2003, 2007, 2010 and 2013 files and none work. The weird thing is that the option shows up for Excel .csv files. Even more werid is that I have the PDF tabs showing in the Office applications.

Thanks.

Windows Server 2008 Explorer error when i right click on folder

Hi everybody.
I have installed a new Windows Server 2008 64-bit, update it to latest.
I have a problem that happens when i right click on a folder. The error only happens if i right click on a folder that has only 1 character long folder name. Doesn't matter if the name is for example: "1" or "a" or "f", the explorer.exe crashes and gives me

The error happened to me on different pc before so it is not related to hardware. The problem happens also if i create folder on desktop, problem stays if i create a new account, the problem goes away if i rename the folder to at least 2 character long name
(for example: "1a", "de"), by slowly double click it. If i go to Start --> Computer --> Local Disk (C:) --> create New Folder with 1 character long name and than go to Organize, i can cut, but not do the same to paste the folder inside another location,
because the error happens.
I didn't install Visual Studio.
How to solve the problem ?

This is not the usual behavior of the windows Server.
Please perform the following things
1) Perform a clean boot
http://technetfaqs.wordpress.com/2009/05/18/how-to-clean-boot-in-windows-2008-server/
2) Go to the safe mode and try to perform a virus check using the malicious virus removal tool
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/890830/en-us
3) If none of the above helps then you should generate the dump file and analyze it to find the root cause of the problem which is not easy for the new users. How ever if you generate it and put it to the sky drive I will try to analyze and let you know

LightRoom 2.3 Does not show up in "open With" when image right clicked..Why?

Hi,
I noticed that when I right click on an image and highlight OPEN WITH LightRoom does not show up as a choice.. Just CS4 and other programs. Is there a way to get it to show up?

You can do it. Right-clicking and "opening with" LR is no different than dragging a file from Windows Explorer into the grid view. In either case the import dialog will be launched. If it's already in the catalog you'll get that dialog.
Windows is seemingly unpredictable from time to time as to adding file associations to the context menu. In any case, if you go to the bottom and click "choose program" you can select LR from the expanded list, or navigate to find it if necessary (which shouldn't be necessary).
Typically once you choose it once, it will continue to appear in the short list for that file type, though it depends what new pieces of software you install and how they're associated with file types either upon or after installation.
You can also drag the file(s) from your Explorer window into the grid view, or drag onto the LR icon on your desktop or in your quick launch, which will launch LR and bring up the appropriate dialog.
