CS5 and OSX Mavericks: Why is my computer logging me out?

So I'm a telecommuting graphic designer, and everytime I'm meeting with my client and sharing my screen through Skype, my MacBook Pro (OSX Mavericks) keeps logging my out randomly.
I initially thought it was because I was using shortcuts in Adobe Illustrator that would force a logout, but when I looked in "Shortcuts" there was nothing that used the keys that my shortcuts were using.
Furthermore, the longer I would be on call with a client, the more frequent the logouts would become, at times that I was not using shortcuts on my keyboard.
It then occurred to me that it could be some of the trackpad shortcuts I was using... in particular the two finger swipe (which is back in a web-browser, but scroll within Adobe?)
Does anyone have any possible solutions? Any feedback is appreciated!
- Adobe CS5
- Latest version of Skype
- Default Mac Shortcuts

Hello dfabie12
Check to see if you have an auto log out when your MacBook Pro is not in use for a certain amount of time. To do that, go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy. Click the Lock and enter in your Administrator password, click the Advanced button in the lower right hand side of the window and a box will drop down to see if it is enabled. Uncheck that if you do not want it to log you out or change the time length to a longer time of inactivity.

Why does the forum log me out so quickly, requiring me to re-enter my ID & password all the time?

Why does the forum log me out so quickly, requiring me to re-enter my ID & password all the time? When I reply to a post I also have to re-enter both items. Even my online banking is saavy enough to reconnize me and autofil my ID.

It works for me. This looks like some browser issue. Try Clearing browser cache and signing in again.
Please move the post to Forum issue from Photoshop Express.

Why does FB keep logging me out of my iPhone

Why does FB keep logging me out after a few seconds on my iphone6?

Hi beachgirl27,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you mean that the Facebook app itself is crashing or closing shortly after selecting it, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

Ps CS5 and OSX 10.7.3 (Lion) Problem

Ok, so I asked this awhile back when I was running Snow Leopard (10.6.x) on this late 2009 27" iMac. Someone mentioned that I should disable Open GL drawing to resolve it, and it worked, for awhile except for many of the features in CS5 you need Open GL enabled. If no one else is having this problem on the same OS then I am going to take this computer back to Apple and have it fixed/replaced. Maybe it's the graphics card, I don't know. But here is what my PS documents look like about 75% of the time. Sometimes it is worse than this and it makes working very, very hard:
The very strange white pixelation that appears is also appearing on the panels now as well (look at the layers panel in the above image). It is becoming very frustrating. I updated to 10.7.3 to hopefully 'fix' the problem, but no cigar. I don't know if this is an Adobe problem or an Apple problem. I notice it appears on applications like Safari when a webpage with Flash is running as well. I know Adobe and Apple don't get along but this is becoming a regularity for my Photoshop experience. It's also starting to affect many other applications on my computer. It happens almost every time I run Photoshop, and it affects other applications that I run if Photoshop is running simultaneously. If I quit Photoshop it clears up this issue in many other applications. Any ideas? Is anyone else running these system specs having this problem? If so, have you done anything to fix it? I am considering sending this iMac back to Apple and having the graphics card looked at.
My intuition says there is either a clash between Adobe programs and OSX and that is the source of the problem, or I have a bad graphics card, but I have no proof of that. It happens on websites with Flash and it happens directly in Photoshop. It doesn't happen in Illustrator, InDesign, or Dreamweaver though. I am totally at a loss for what is causing this.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Bill

That's a pretty classic example of a bad GPU or bad VRAM.
Yes, your video card is bad and needs to be replaced.

Audition and OSX Mavericks - Any issues?

I am running 10.6.8 and it is currently working just fine for me. I spend 8-9 hours a day in Audition CS6. I am starting to help out the video people, but I they are running After Effects CC, Lightroom CC, etc and I cannot install those programs because they are not supported by 10.6. I have been holding back on upgrading because it has been working great for me. Are there any known issues with upgrading to Mavericks that I should know about? I have hard deadlines every week and if I start running into computer issues a lot of bad things will come down. Is it safe, or should I stick with what I have and be limited with what I can do with the video people?

That would indeed be a result. I have no objection to Audition running on Macs - because it looks just like Audition running on a PC. It's when you stop it that I start to get irritated with them...
To be honest though, these days there isn't a lot to choose between them when it comes to stability. Yeah, Mavericks had its problems when it was launched, but there again so has every version of Windows there's ever been. Mavericks gets a few updates, and eventually Windows gets SP1. And things are okay again... except that we have to learn something different each time, and there seems to be no point to most of it. I just have to keep reminding myself that they'd go out of business if they couldn't find a regular way to screw more money out of us with new OS's for - well, no genuine reason, really...

LR4 and OSX Mavericks compatibility

I am currently running LR4 and recently upgraded my OSX to Mavericks 10.9.2. Since doing so, I have had to re-link several of my photo folders to the original source because they were not syncing up. I am unable to load additional photos fro editing from my native hard drive as LR4 will not recognize them in the original Photos folder. I have confirmed from the hard drive that the photos are indeed there. Is there a compatibility issue between OSX Mavericks 10.9.2 and LR4? Can someone guide me on how to resolve this? Thanks.

Sounds like it may be a permissions issue, although I’m a PC user and am not sure how to fix it.
You might give more complete information about where the photos are, the paths from the root of the drive, and what users might have access to them, not just ”original Photos folder” and maybe a Mac user can help you in more detail.

Why does I-Tunes log me out after 15min of play?

I've got 2 profiles set up on the mac, and when the non admin profile is logged in, when i-tunes is running, after 15mins of playback, the profile logs itself out...
i've checked and the mac has been set to never go to sleep, the screen saver is not due to come on at all and the display has been told never to go to sleep.
any suggestions?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
In the Console window, look under the heading DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION on the left for crash or panic reports. If you don't see that heading, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the crashed process and ends in ".crash". It may be under either of the two subcategories, "System" and "User." A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic".
Select the most recent of each and post the entire contents — the text, please, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post any other kind of diagnostic report, such as a hang log — they're very long and not helpful.

Why can't I open Photoshop CS5 with OSX Mavericks?

I download OSX9 the other day and I have found that some programs do not open. Today it is Photoshop CS5. Is there a trick to get it open besides an upgrade to CS5, which apparently is not currently available!

Today I just upgrade to Mavericks and have the same problem. Even the same system (mavericks) pop up a window tell me to download the java run time upgrade ...I canceled by mistake ...and when I click the Photoshop icon ...the same window pop up
After I install the java upgrade ...they opened just fine, all the CS5 ...even the CS3 ...just in case, give it one more shot. maybe it will work.

Installer failed to initialize / cpsid_83578r3 / CS5 on OSX Mavericks

I own Adobe CS5 PRODUCTION PREMIUM and have successfully used it for a number of years on my Mac OS X computer. Recently I could not get After Effects to open so I uninstalled it, intending to reinstall it. I have recently installed the new Mac OS X "Mavericks" on my computer. Right now, I cannot get the disc installer to work--I get an error saying, "Installer failed to initialize. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem." which I did:
cpsid_83578r3: Error, "Validate license at Pre-chrome" when installing - Creative Suite 5
Click here for details and corrective actions related to this issue.
I have searched Adobe forums for solutions. However, I have found no solutions. I REALLY need this software to work for my new job. What do I need to do to get AE to install from my CS5 Production Premium discs? I can still use other CS5 programs, but not AE...please help!

Jneigh there is no need to post your token number as the service which allows us to collect the installation logs is no longer available.
Did you complete the steps in the referenced document at Install log error "Validate license at Pre-Chrome time" - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/install-log-error-validate-license.html?

Laserjet 3052 and OSX Mavericks. Scanning with HP Director does not work. Any driver download.

My iMac will not scan using OSX 10.9 Mavericks and HP Director. Prints ok. Are there any new drivers available.

Read this thread:

My LaserJet 3052 works with Mavericks after I followed these instructions. It's not 100% stable, but it sure beats buying a new scanner/printer combo. Mine still rocks after 7 years of use!
Good luck!

Pros and cons of having OSX Snow leopard and OSX Lion on the same Computer

Disclaimer : I am not an expert,my experience with Computers is trial and catastrophic errors.
If one owns an early Intel Mac say 2009 and want to have OSX Lion and or Snow Leopard on a partitioned HD.My setup is typical I use my Bundled DVD and clean format HD ,intall Snow Leopard ,update all and then go to App store download Lion and then you chose your set up .
Most would upgrade to lion by installing on top of snow leapard.
I chose to install lion alone on a partition.
Today I was talking to Apple about an issue with accessing repair and disk permissions on an encrypted volume in Lion recovery Disk Utilities usually greyed out because one must turn off File Vault then go to Lion Recovery Disk Utilities by Start up ,press options the 2 partitioned volumes 1 Lion 2 Snow Leopard 3rd volume Lion recovery Disk Utilities.
,If File Vault is on it will not be there but when one selects volume 1 Lion and Command and R Lion recovery Disk Utilities appears but Lion Volumeo Recovery Disk Utilities will be greyed out you go tho unmount and it will prompt you for a Lion Password.
While doing this and repairing I encounted a Storage can not be repaired Error in red, Apple told me that Lion Recovery Disk Utilities related issues are not supported if one has Snow Leoopard and Lion on a partitoned HD.
So one must upgrade on top of SnowLeaopard or use the Snow Leopard Bundled DVD to erase the volume 2 SnowLeopard ,then all will be well !
So what happens with Mountain Lion when using Snow Leopard Macs ?
Again Disclaimer : I am not an expert and my experience with Computers is trial and catastrophic errors.
