Cs5 freezing when clicking between applications

flash seems to crash/freeze when clicking through to other applications.
anything that can be done????? i cant get any work done becuase its crashign all the time.

Hi,
Does this happen even if you have a blank FLA file?  Or, does it seem to happen with larger files?
Are you on a Mac or Win?  Did you get a crash log?
Thanks,

  • IE7 freezes when switching between applications

    I have 2 production applications. If I open one of them and subsequently open the other one all is fine... The tab for the original app (at the bottom left of workspace) is replaced by the newly opened app (after the pop-up saying 'loading application' is displayed momentarily), as usual. However, if I then try to open the 1st application again the pop-up saying 'loading application' never goes away. At this time I am unable to select any other option except to close IE7 and re-open.
    I would like to know if this is a workspace bug or an IE7 settings issue.

    We've had conflicts with IE7, and IT eventually rolled us back to 6 to resolve. Not a formal indictment, but call this one vote for an IE7 issue.

  • Bridge CS5 freezes when using 'reveal in explorer'

    Bridge CS5 freezes when you select a file and try to "reveal in explorer". The command does work, it does reveal the file in explorer but then the bridge window turns white and freezes. It usually doesn't happen in the first time you click 'reveal in explorer', but if you do it enough (3x or more) bridge will freeze eventually.
    I'm going back to Bridge CS4.
    *I'm using Bridge CS5 on windows 7 Professional 64 bit

    This sounds like a memory thing.  Check the spare space on the HD (it should never be more than 75% full), defrag the harddrive,  clean out your trash bin,check to see if you paging file is installed, and your RAM is working properly.

  • Ipad freezes when clicking mail, contact, calendars

    ipad freezes when clicking mail, contact, calendars

    Still trying to figure out how to navigate these forum pages. For the last two consecutive days I have opened the default e-mail client on this iPad2 to find that the app will download all e-mail from my accounts and then freeze.  I have to hit the power switch to shut off and then restart the iPad -the I can open my individual e-mails.  Just like hitting control-alt-delete in the windows OS. Has the e-mail app been updated or something.  I haven't knowingly changed anything. By the way , registering for forums is a pain in the butt - I ahink i have screwed up myz old user name and will attack that separately.

    Also - this happens once and then after that I can run it ok for the rest of my session.  Power down and reboot then try e-mail and it freees, power down reset and it is ok. Has only been for the last two days.

  • Excel Freezes when Clicking on a Particular Tab within Excel

    So, we are currently transitioning to SmartView from the Essbase Add-in.  We have been already done a bunch of conversion for both files and VBA code with macros running properly without errors.  However, for a particular file, we have been experiencing an issue of Excel freezing when clicking on a specific tab.  The tab has no need to be connected to a database and only consists of formulas that are linked to other tabs.  The issue only occurs when SmartView is enabled.  If it is disabled, and the Add-in is enabled, you are able to click on the tab and navigate the sheet. With SmartView enabled (Add-in either enabled or disabled), as I said, freezes whenever clicking on that particular tab.  I was wondering if there is any fix or something that I am overlooking for the file as to why this is happening.  I saw some "fixes" online but none seemed to work or even seemed to be reasonable options to try to fix the problem.

    Hi,
    I just wonder, which Excel version you run and in which version the sheet was created that crashes.
    We had Excel freezing for an analysis created in Excel 2003 sheet when running in Excel 2010. To solve this we created an entirely new file, connected the sheet to the cube and then copied over the refresh area from the crashing sheet. You may want to test this to see if it works. However, if you have formula references this needs some extra handling.
    In other freeze/crash cases it helped to change the Smart View Options>Advanced: Compatibility section and checked 'Reduce Excel size' and 'Improve Metadata storage'.

  • Delay occurs when switching between applications

    System worked fine before installing Mavericks.  Now each time I switch been applications there is a 5-10 sec delay before the new application responds.  The applications don't actually hang, the system does catch up, but it makes the system unusable.
    For example, I wil have Outlook 2011 up on one monitor and Safari up on another monitor and each application will work fine and be responsive.  But when I click between the two open applications, 5-10 sec delay occurs.  During the delay, the first application continues to be responsive (will respond to mouse clicks, can type, can close, can move/resize, etc.) but the second application (the one that I'm clicking to) won't respond to anything. Evenuntaly, the system catches up and the second application becomes responsive, but the same thing occurs when switching back to the original application.
    So far, it seems to impact all applications - Office 2011, evernote, safari, webex, adobe reader, system perferences, and finder.
    Verified Disk Permissions and vefied disk - no improvement.
    Rebooted the system - no improvement.
    Ensured spotlight indexing wasn't running.
    Any suggestions?

    Apple was able to help fix this.  From what I understood, they had me delete the Apple settings files and then the operating system would recreate them - sorry, didn't note the specific directories they said to delete.  They said it was an issue caused by installing the new OS.  Deleting the files fixed the issue.

  • IPhoto '08 (7.1)  Freezes when Clicking "Music" Icon for Slideshow

    When I try to add music to a slideshow, iPhoto freezes up when clicking the Music icon. How to make it work again (it worked fine before the upgrade).

    Monique:
    It actually not frozen, just as slow as molassas on an iceberg. It's a result of this last update, iLife Support 8.1. It may take up to 30 seconds but the slideshow pane will eventually open and you can set your options.
    Be sure to report this at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html. The more reports on this subject the more likely they will get a fix out quickly.
    A similar slowness is in accessing the preferences in iPhoto for many.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • I am not able to hear any sounds when clicking on applications

    Sound used to be there but no more.....When i click an application no sound is heard..Even during usage of an application there is no sound...Can any body help me..

    Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the iPod and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound. Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and its the icon; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
    If that doesn't solve it then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Microsoft Word consistently becomes active window when clicking between dual screens and programs

    13" MBP
    2.3 ghz i5
    8GB Ram
    Running 10.9.2
    Microsoft Word 2011
    Dual screens with amazon Mini Display to VGA adapter
    When I am running word between an external monitor and my MBP, Microsoft word always interrupts any clicks between programs and between screens to become the active window. This is especially annoying when I am trying to navigate between MacMail and Chrome, or any other programs.
    The problem doesn't exist when I click between programs on the MBP, but only when I select windows between the two screens. Or programs on the external monitor.
    Word is up to date, as is my MBP.
    Please don't punt me to Microsoft, they're the worst!
    Thanks!

    There is a workaround for this problem, which was posted by Highestwater on the Microsoft Community thread for this bug and worked for me as well:
    Go to
    System Preferences > Mission Control >
    and UN-check the box labeled "Displays have separate Spaces" (see image below)
    The original poster on this thread may already be aware of this workaround, because he/she mentioned that the "separate Spaces" option is checked. But if you can live without the extra Mavericks dual display features (like going full screen in 1 display only, switching spaces independently on each display, and having a menu bar on each display), then uncheck this option and the "stealing focus" bug seems to disappear. For me the bug is so annoying that it's worth it to lose the extra features. Just yesterday I closed a Word document I was working on by mistake because I clicked on a Finder window on my other display and immediately pressed command-w to close it, without realizing that the focus had switched to my word document which closed instead. It was saved, but this sort of stuff interrupted my work enough to be both an annoyance and a time drain.

  • Finder crashes when clicking on Applications folder

    VERY weird. Beginning a few days ago the finder on my Mac Pro crashes whenever I clicked on the Applications folder. It makes no difference what finder view I am using (icons, columns, etc.). Even if I click on the alias to the Applications folder in the sidebar, the finder crashes. I cannot view the contents of that folder by any method. The only way I can get to an item contained therein is to search for it using Spotlight.
    Thinking that maybe my startup disk was hosed somehow, I ran Disk Utility (repaired permissions and verified the disk) and ran all tests within TechTool Deluxe. Both said the disk and filesystem were fine.
    I tried copying the entire folder to another disk, but the copy aborts after the first few items (stops with Adobe Photoshop; the next item alphabetically is Aperture). In case Aperture was somehow a problem, I removed it (searched using Spotlight and then dragged it to the trash). No change in behavior.
    I used Carbon Copy Cloner to replicate the entire drive to another, newly reformatted drive and made that drive the startup disk. No change in behavior.
    It sure seems that the issue has to do with some kind of file corruption (that CCC dutifully replicated) rather than a faulty drive, but I have no idea where to look next for a solution (other than reformatting and reinstalling over 100 applications from scratch; ugh).
    Does anyone have any idea what may be going on here? Until I can fix this, the Mac Pro is pretty much useless (luckily, I also have a MacBook Pro).

    Hi - I too am having this issue. 
    When I click on any of the items in my sidebar (i.e. -desktop, documents, applications, etc...) this causes the finder to crash and restart. 
    I have tried trashing the com.apple.finder.plist and running disk utility but to no avail.  I also found this other forum discussion (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1336291?start=0&tstart=0) Where this was part of the post

    Re: finder crashes when clicking desktop icon in sidebar - any help? 
    Feb 2, 2008 3:43 PM (in response to choegl)
    choegl, that crash is the same place as andreas's but it got there in a different manor. In the manor I would expect it to. It is trying to retarget the window to your selection in the sidebar and setup List View according to the view options for that folder from that folder's .DS_Store. Its specifically trying to get the label for one of the columns in List View (i.e. Size or Name or Date Modified) but the value it gets from the .DS_Store is corrupt/bogus and causes the Finder to crash (specifically a component underneath the Finder call CoreFoundation via a call to CFStringGetLength). Here's how you solve your problem. In /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app type: +cd <path to problem folder>+
    +rm .DS_Store+
    +killall Finder+ Pressing return after each line. You can get the path to the problem folder by drag/dropping the folder into the Terminal window. When the Finder comes back up, see if it still crashes when you click on that problem folder (i.e. your Desktop) in the sidebar. Repeat the steps above for any other folders that behave this way when you click on them in the sidebar. Hope that helps everyone... 
    btw, I wrote up a bug report on your behalf about this issue and sent it off to Apple (# 5721669)."
    I tried this as well and nothing! 
    Anyone have any suggestions?  I'm at a loss and am hating this issue!  BTW, if I right click on any of the items in the sidebar, I can then click on open to get the folder to open.  HASSLE!  and if I forget (which is likely since I move too fast for my own good) then I crash the finder.  Also, this happens on all the users on my mac. 
    Thanks!!!!

  • IMovie HD freezes when switching between views.

    I am in the process of completing my latest movie in iMovie HD and am having some major issues when I attempt to change views to add audio. The program runs fine when I am in the scene view, but when I click on the "filmstrip" icon at the bottom to view the audio tracks the "rainbow" circle appears and iMovie changes to the wonderful "iMovie is not responding" status.
    Help please!!!

    I am using iMovie HD, version 6.0.3, and have the same type of problem except mine freezes when I am in the middle of adding photos to the project. I spent 4 hours on the phone yesterday speaking with various techs with good intentions but no successful resolutions. Some of what we tried...running "utility, repair disc", we then tried deleting the cache files associated with iMovie HD plus a few other items. None of it has solved my problems. According to the last tech I spoke with, the next step may be creating another profile on the computer and try using the program with it. If this solves the problem, then the issue is with conflicts in the "original" profile being used. The only issue with this that seems to be a bit painful is that with the new profile, I won't have access to everything I saved under the old profile. I will have to copy all of the files externally and then import them back into the new profile. I am hoping to find the "real" solution before attmpting this. In the meantime, when I make changes/additions to my iMovie HD projects, I hit save after every change/addition. This makes things easier when I restart the program. Let me know if you have any luck or find a good fix. This one is getting on my nerves. This type of problem is why I dumped my PC for a Mac!! Out of curiosity, how long have you had this problem? Mine started after downloading the "Intel processor" update. Maybe it is just coincidental????

  • ITunes freezing when clicking "Get Info"

    My iTunes keeps freezing when I click on "Get Info", and it takes several minutes to open. Sometimes, it won't open at all, and I have to end the task in Task Manager.
    I have Win7 and almost 200gb free. I noticed this about three weeks ago and have already upgraded to the latest version. Any ideas?

    Tried reinstalling, and I'm still having the same problem. It takes about a minute for the window to open after selecting "Get Info."

  • Itunes freezes when clicking on a song

    I run a Windows 7. I just updated my itunes to the most recent update. This problem has gotten progressivley worse up to this point. Now, whenever I launch itunes, it starts up fine until i decide to click and play a song/video. At this point it freezes itunes completley - to the point where only the Task Manager will close it. It says, "not responding". Ive tried restarting my computer - no luck. Ive tried going into the control panel and clicking itunes, then 'repair'. Still nothing. Ive looked all over the web and have done virus scans and reinstalations everything reccomended. Nothing will work - itunes continues to freeze when i click on a song/video.
    Is there anything else I can try? What could be the problem?
    If anyone needs to know, I have 1667 songs and maybe five movies. And yes, I still have plenty of room on my computer. RAM and such isnt an issue.

    "We could not complete your Itunes store request" with the unknown error number (306).
    That's a proxy issue, although there's a number of different things that might cause it.
    First, try going into your Internet Options control panel. Go into the Connections tab. Click the "Lan settings" button. Uncheck "Use a proxy server for your LAN" if it is checked, and click okay.
    Can you get through to the Store if that box is unchecked?
