CS5 3D/Repousse crashing/freezing on MacbookPro

So far I have only tried creating 3D text, but although I can open Repousse and begin working on it, it will act flaky (not showing tools, huge lag in rendering, render progressing grid teen tiny rather then normal sized, any adjustments take eons to take effect - yes, only choosing one then waiting, etc) then freeze.
I then get the Application Not Responding and need to Force Quit Photoshop.
I have also switched Photoshop to 32bit mode, but this made no difference.
Photoshop seems to work fine so long as I don't use the 3D features, but I paid extra in order to use them.
Macbook Pro Intel Core 2 Duo
2.4 GHz  4GB RAM
Snow Leopard 10.6.4
GeForce 8600M GT 256MB
System OS and CS5 fully updated.
Please help Adobe!

Here's what I did that seems to have helped for the moment:
First I closed down Photoshop (obviously).
Then I downloaded and installed Onyx.
After it ran through it's initial checks, I used it to repair
permissions and then empty all cashes, especially the font cash.
Then I went into username/library/preferenes and deleted
com.adobe.Photoshop.plist
I rebooted.
For now anyhow, this seems to have corrected my 3D problems. 
As far as it being a GPU or driver install problem - meh - could be I guess.   Just in case, what's a "combo updater"?  My system is completed updated at the moment using the normal Apple-Software Update.  CS5 is also completely updated.   What other system updater is there?
Thanks.

  • CS5.5 Mac crashes every time I change Window Size in Design View

    I'm using DW CS5.5 (version 11.5 build 5344) in Lion 10.7.3.  I added in a couple of window sizes (in Preferences) that correspond to iPhone and Android phones - 320x480, 480x320, 480x800, 640x960.  The 640x960 one works, as does a 592w one that came with Dreamweaver.  Any of the other ones, though, cause the app to hang in this one particular file I'm editing.  However, in the simple jQuery Mobile starter page DW creates, these resolutions work fine.  This appears to be related to some CSS code that I have inside of a CSS media selector:
    @media screen and (max-width:480px)
    There is also a corresponding
    @media screen and (min-width:481px)
    in the CSS.
    To test this, I created a window size of 481x320, and that seemed to work completely fine without crashing DW. The 480x320 one crashes DW.  I assume that's because it's using the different CSS section.
    Pasted below is the CSS code that goes along with the section that seems to cause the crashing:
    @media screen and (max-width:480px) {
      .column {
        margin: 1em 0;
        border-bottom: 1px dashed #7b96bc;
      #visit, #points, #main {
        width: 100%;
        .taplist li {
        width:50%;
      #map {
        display:none;
      .header {
        display:none;
    To further test this out, I commented out all of the code within that block.  The window sizes did not cause it to crash then.  I then started to add back in pieces of code to see when it began to crash.  The crashing seemed limited to the bottom two (#map and .header), although it wasn't consistent.  In some situations the window sizes would work and in others they would crash.  I didn't test every combo just because it took a lot of time.  With both of those in place, though, every one of the 480 or less sizes crashed.
    Notable, the #map section is commented out in the HTML, however including that in the CSS still causes intermittent crashing.
    I also deleted my cache file to see if that was it, and no luck.

    Thanks very much Chris for pointing me in the right direction.  I downloaded FontDoctor, and it found one questionable font which I deleted.  However CS5 continues to crash when selecting the Design Workspace. So I followed the steps outlined in the Adobe document you linked.  When I got to the point of downloading the FontTest.jsx file and ran it, CS5 crashed right away without writing any log file.  I turned on app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.YES, and CS5 is crashing with a TypeError: undefined is not an object. So I don't know if this is related to my original problem, or not.  Any thoughts on how to proceed to get the FontTest script to run properly?  I took all of the normal defaults when I installed CS5 (e.g., didn't select any alternate paths, don't have any add-ons installed, etc.).

  • My old MBP (2005) often crashes, freezes or shows grey screen at start up. Also track pad often does not work. I have re fomatted the HD and reinstalled system but to no avail. Genius bar says possible faulty HD, but suspect logic board, any ides any body

    My old 17" MBP (2005) often crashes, freezes or shows grey screen at start up. Also track pad often does not work. I have re fomatted the HD and reinstalled system but to no avail. Genius bar says possible faulty HD, but I suspect logic board. All checks out OK on the Apple Diagnostic bench. Can a Logic board go intermittant?? Any Ideas any body??

    Ive repaired 1000s of laptops over the years (translate: diagnose and replace parts).
    Its not that old, Ive owned 100s of laptops (most were free) ....some I still have are nearly 13 years old and still perfect, ....some extremely expensive ones died in under a year.
    other than becoming obsolete at some point, there isnt really any "will spoil on" data like Milk for solid state computer parts, ....alas.
    You can have a $5000 laptop die in 4 months, and a junker one keep kicking after 10 years.... Ive seen that firsthand countless times.
    Common logic dictates that "very expensive = long life" in computers,..... but all the repair people will tell you just the opposite.
    I know you have a gripe, I get that all too well honestly .

  • InDesign CS5.5 keeps crashing when I open a particular document

    InDesign CS5.5 keeps crashing when I open a particular document. This suddenly started happening a few hours ago, and other files are unaffected. I downloaded a backup from last week and that was fine, but I need to get this latest version working again. I've cleared out the Recovery folder, deleted Preferences, and even reinstalled InDesign - all to no avail.
    I'm running Windows 8.
    Any help gratefully received!

    Even after emptying the recovery folder?
    It's either a damaged install or a bad font or some other conflict. Do the font trouble-shooter first, then move to checking for a conflict.
    To check for a conflict, go to the start button and in the Search field Type msconfig to bring up the configuration utility. Open it, go to the Services tab and click the box to Hide All Microsoft Services. You can uncheck just about anything that's left (for diagnostic purposes) except FLEXnet Licensing Services and a service starting with ##ID_String... which are part of the Adobe licensing sytem and need to be active for Adobe product to run.
    Now switch to the Startup tab, and uncheck everything except your mouse driver and the Adobe Service Manager for this version.
    Reboot. Ignore the warning about startup in diagnostic mode for the moment and Launch ID and see if it works. If it does, go back msconfig and add back startup programs in groups, rebooting each time and repeat the test until you get a failure. If all the startup programs work, repeat with the services tab. If nothing causes a problem I have no idea what's going on.
    On the other hand, if ID fails again straight off with all that stuff disabled, the installtion is corrupt. Run the cleaner tool (CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3) and reinstall while still in diagnostic mode, then run msconfig one last time to restore normal startup.

  • Silly question re: synching ipod touch 5g to itunes!!! (avoiding crashes/freezes) .

    Hi All,
    In order to prevent crashes/freezes when syncing an ipod touch 5g to itunes, does all of my music library have to be in mp3 format or will a combination of AAC and mp3 tracks be OK? I'm new to this apple thing and want to get it right BEFORE I attempt any synching. Have searched the ipod user guide to no avail.  Many thanks......

    Thanks for quick response.
    Haven't even used the ipod yet (It's under the xmas tree - I know 'cos I had a sneaky peek!!!!)
    Want to avoid potential problems - it took me a while to figure out how to create mp3 CDs.
    So, no windows doesn't crash/freeze etc.
    Will check out the link though, just to be on the safe side before the ipod gets its first fire up.
    Thanks lllaass

  • I recently upgraded to ML and now I find that CS5.5 programs crash unexpectedly all the time. Help

    I recently upgraded to ML and now I find that CS5.5 programs crash unexpectedly all the time. Is anyone else having this issue and what's the best way to resolve this. Help.

    You might check and see if there are any Console entries about what happened when you attempted to launch a CS 5.5 app.
    Adobe links its apps with the particular volume on which it is running, and altho' I can't recall specifics, I know in the past I have had to reset Adobe's settings after OS upgrade. I do recall that it's a fairly easy procedure; just don't exactly recall what it is.
    BTW, CS 4 runs on Mountain Lion for me.

  • Why I-Photo would keep Crashing/ Freezing on me and causing me to force quit.

    why I-Photo would keep Crashing/ Freezing on me and causing me to force quit.

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • T410s Optimus: Crashing/Freezing/Bugs in association with Minidock+External Displays

    Hi There.
    Because my new Thinkpad T410s 2912WA6 (Optimus) and it's Bugs Features are quite time-consuming while i would need a reliable system to get things done, (that is why i spent over 1800 Euros on dock+thinkpad), i have to make it short.
    1) optimus driver (nvidia/intel) crashing freezing bluescreening while docked and full hd displays over dvi attached, even still in 8.17.12.6802/8.15.10.
    8.17.12.5738/8.15.10.2154 or whatever C:/SWTOOLS contains and what was installed on delivery works fine. plz fix.
    2) want to see boot screen of my t410s optimus while docked on dvi display attached to dock. not possible for now. plz fix.
    3) i guess docking station is designed to free some space on my desk --> dock + thinkpad far away from desk --> want to wake thinkpad up by pressing a key on my usb wireless keyboard attached to dock --> does not work --> pain in my back, pain in my mind.
    plz fix.
    okay...maybe too short, here some more detailed information:
    1) Most annoying bug is the new always everything crashing nvidia optimus driver. As discussed in many other threads, there are rough problems with high DPC, freezes, blue screens. For me, i could identify nvlddmkm.sys as source of high DPC, while i had no time or not the knowledge to investigate on freezes or bluescreens.
    In Fact: My T410s, bought in november 2010 was working fine, and i had no problems aswell as i started using a mini dock plus series 3 in combination with 2 Full HD 24'' Displays on the 2 DVI Ports on the Minidock.
    In March 2011, Lenovo Update Software installed an update on the Graphics Driver (this may not mean the Driver Update was released at this date, i just ran the Update Software for the first time) was installed, the corresponding line in the Installation Protocol is:
    "Thinkpad Video Features[NVIDIA NVS 3100M Optimus] for Windows 7 64bit | 8.17.12.5738/8.15.10.2202"
    Interestingly i think the Nvidia driver version-nr didnt change, while the intel hd driver-nr was 8.15.10.2154 before.
    From that day on, with increasing frequency, win7 started to freeze, in random situations but almost always while using it docked with 1 or 2 24" displays attached on DVI, nearly never when undocked. Aswell i just saw a black screen when switching youtube videos to full screen, same issue described by other users. The Flash-fullscreen issue was fixed after installing 8.17.12.6802, inoffically posted by Jamez in another thread. However, the freezing continued and i got a blue screen everytime i sent my T410s to Standby Mode while docked, no problem undocked.
    After that, i luckily found out that under C:\SWTOOLS all drivers thet were installed on delivery can be found. I installed the "old" nvidia and intel hd drivers, since that, THANK THE LORD, no freezing anymore, everything works fine.
    What i want to tell here: For me its ok to use these old drivers for the rest of my life and i dont have any motivation to give any grahpics driver update another chance, but i guess there are other users out there, struggling with this issues so you might better send them working drivers for optimus/nvidia systems.
    2) an annoying fact aswell, and after searching google and this forum for "t410(s) optimus boot display" i dont believe that this is an individual error for me that can be resolved by recovery or similiar suicide attempts. Short and crisp: it is impossible to see the boot screen on my external Displays when Thinkpad is docked and Optimus is activated.
    Of course, there is a BIOS setting, allowing me to select the Boot Display, and it proudly tells me i can selected "Digital 1/Digital 2" for the Dock-DVI Ports, but when selecting this Option, i only have the choice between VGA, Internal, and HDMI (Digital on Thinkpad). No Digital 1, no Digital 2. As others told me, Digital 1/2 can be selected as soon as you switch from "optimus" to "descrete". But guess what, i bought a optimus system so i want to use it. I hope this can be fixed by a new BIOS-Version or any other kind of update.
    3) obviously, it is not possible to wake up a sleeping and docked t410s remotely, especially by wireless keyboard. First thing is, of course, i DONT want to attach the usb keyboard receiver directly to the thinkpad/yellow usb port. If i do so, i dont need a docking station anymore because i have this docking station for fast undocking without removing extra cables. Second interesting thing: Despite of my wish to have no cables directly attached to my thinkpad, i tried it on the yellow usb slot. my usb receiver was working (blinking) while thinkpad was in standby mode, but nevertheless, it didnt wake up on pressing keyboard/mouse. i have set the right settings in device manager.
    So, excuse my bad english, im from germany so it is quite hard for me to write down all this in english. I would appreciate comments from other users, experiencing the same problems/bugs, aswell as what lenovo staff has to say about it. thanks for your attention.

    ThinkMIke/Lenovo staff:
    Did you ever solve the problem?  I am experiencing something similar.  Somewhat similar hardware setup: T410 w/ optimus + Minidock 3 + two external monitors (using DVI and VGA ports); laptop closed.  Long ago, I "bit the bullet" and plugged wireless keyboard/mouse dongle into laptop USB port to enable waking from sleep via keybaord/mouse...painful, but used to suffice; would not work with dongle plugged into Minidock.   More recently, I have been fighting Optimus bugs that cause my system to freeze every ten minutes or so.  Recently tried switching off Optimus in BIOS. This eliminates the freezes, but now my system cannot be woken from sleep at all, and once "sleeping" eventually shuts down. (In fact, the system doesn't seem to really sleep...the fan seems to continue to run.)  This problem now persists even if I turn Optimus back on in BIOS...I seem to have moved the system to a new and different unstable state.  Any insights?
    Thanks!

  • MBP 2011 Crash/Freeze/Restart

    Recently, my 15-inch, Early 2011 MacBook Pro has started crashing/freezing/restarting/whatever-the-right-terminology-is. It's a 2GHz Intel Core i7,  8GB 1333MHz DDR3 RAM (I upgraded it). Graphics card is AMD Radeon HD 6490M 256MB, or the Intel 3000 that comes integrated. 500GB HDD. I'm running OS X 10.9.4.
    What happens is one of several things: it stops whatever it was doing and shows me a screen that has thin, vertical green and black stripes on it. It stays like this until I shut down the computer by hitting the power button. No keys or moving the mouse does anything. Sometimes, it will show graphical glitches that change for about 5 seconds before freezing on one and forcing me to shut down the computer. The last two times it has frozen, the screen just went black. The screen was still on, it just showed all black. Again, nothing I can do will unfreeze it, I have to shut it down.
    It has shut down under several circumstances: I am playing a videogame, such as Hearthstone or Civ V (always with lowest graphics settings and not in fullscreen), watching Netflix/YouTube, or recently, just browsing the internet or typing on Skype. The problem started occurring only when I had been using the laptop for a few hours. Now, it will do this even if I have only used it for 15-30 minutes. It doesn't occur all of the time, so I've been having trouble determining the cause.
    I called AppleCare, and they had me do some sort of re-route where I shut down the computer and held down a few keys before restarting it. This did not fix the problem.
    If anyone can provide me with some help, that would be great. I can provide more details and answer any questions.
    Thanks!

    If there is nothing else shown on the page other than your verified purchase date and that your limited warranty has expired, then I would guess that it is not covered. Your best bet, just to be sure would be to contact Apple and have them check manually.
    The serial number of each machine is unique and can identify when the MacBook Pro was manufactured, which is how Apple decide whether or not your machine is eligible for cover within the extension program as it only covers machines manufactured from and to a certain date.
    The symptoms on the repair extension page are as follows:
    Distorted or scrambled video on the computer screen
    No video on the computer screen (or external display) even though the computer is on
    Computer restarts unexpectedly
    The fact that you've described that your MacBook Pro restarts with GPU Panic errors would imply that it is actually experiencing the issue covered by the extension program, so I would contact Apple and find out whether or not it is covered by the extension program.

  • Logic pro crashes / freezes after running about a hour after updating

    Hope anyone can help me.
    I use G5 powermac.
    Had 10.3.x running with Pro6 with no problems (because of that I'm a big mac fan
    I updated to Pro7.2.x and also to OSX 10.4.8 when the problem started
    It's a strange problem, it seems something happens in my computer after a period of time.
    Logic is always crashing / freezes after working with it for about 1 hour (not sure exact time). When I just leave my mac on for the same period of time not running logic and start up Logic later it also freezes imidiately. But only logicpro seems to have this problem. All other programs working well.
    I need to restart my computer to start working again and then again after a period logic crashes again. I also installed logic express but express works well.
    I already reinstalled everything a few times and also working with just the basic (no plugs, interal audio, no hardware, no extra memory ect.) didn't help. I did changed discdrives, internal memory ect.
    Hope anyone has an idea what it can be
    Thanks for helping

    hi,
    look here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302212
    hier you will find the right downloads for the firmware update for the late 2004 g5 1.8. choose the right updater for your system.
    it should also appear if you use the software update.
    after that it should work like before.
    hope that helps
    all the best

  • Computer is crashing (freeze) when connecting my iPod Nano

    Hello,
    my computer is crashing (freeze) when connecting my iPod Nano. I have a Pentium IV with windows XP Pro. Can anybody help me please.

    This came from another thread, but worked for me.  Problem is with newest iTunes 4.62.  Unistall iTunes, as well as its helper programs (Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Divice Support, and Apple Software Update).  Reboot, and reinstall iTunes.  It will reinstall all the other ones and you should be able to connect your nano.  Good luck.

  • FireFox keeps on crashing & freezing everytime I am in the middle of viewing a site content. It drives me nut!

    FireFox keeps on crashing & freezing when I am in the middle of viewing content on a certain site like http://affiliate-resources.info for information to use, it drives me nut!
    I love using FireFox as my default browser, but lately, with it always & constantly updating itself to new version that, I don't see any improvement, but only bring headaches and pissed me off especially in the middle of checking out something online and all of a sudden, everything just freezes, and the only way for me to continue was to run my CTRL+alt+DELETE button to stop the running of FireFox because it is not responding.
    This really sucks. I have been using FireFox as my default browser for years, and I do think that it's the best browser in the world, but man, I sure wish the people at mozilla.org would stop updating FireFox to become a non-working-browser. I just don't see it got any better, but only got worser!
    The best FireFox version, to me, was FireFox 3.6 version. I loved using it, but it's not available anymore.
    Is there a way I can continue to use FireFox 3.6?
    Thanks.

    It is possible to install and run Firefox 3.6, but it is not advisable as it is out of date and not secure. If you are doing webdesign you will presumably mainly wish to test the latest versions of Firefox rather than an insecure version that is used but only a very small minority of users.
    * see [[Install an older version of Firefox]] <br/>(The article cautions against use of previous versions, but then provides a download link)
    * you may also be interested in [[Common questions after upgrading from Firefox 3.6]]
    If you suffer from crashes see
    * [[Firefox crashes - Troubleshoot, prevent and get help fixing crashes]]
    If you have corporate users as clients they may be using Firefox ESR which has a longer period between major upgrades
