CS5 Idle Tasks work great until they stop

I've got an Adobe InDesign CS5 ExtendScript (javascript for the search engines) that when the users do certain tasks it triggers some idle tasks. It works great most of the time. What I'm finding is that at some point the idle tasks stop and they just queue up. It doesn't seem to matter how long Adobe InDesign has been running.
The code is constructed so that when it tries to create a new task that it checks if an existing task to do the same thing is already in the queue. If it already exists in the queue it doesn't add it again. So in that regard I'm not creating an infinate lists of tasks. But at some point it just stops processing the idle tasks in the queue, sometimes with just a single task to process.
InDesign itself seems fine. But no more idle tasks will fire. I've checked the task manager (it is windows XP) and InDesign doesn't seem to be doing anything to prevent getting in some idle tasks.
Any idea how I can figure out: A) what stopped it. B) How to start it back up?

  • I have an old ipod. It worked great until about 2 months ago and now it says I need to restore my ipod but I can't unless I format it, but everytime I try, it says the format could not be completed. Is there anything else I can do to get it to work again?

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

  • Model A1236 Nano iPod worked great until today. This morning it didn't turn on. Thought it was battery

    Model A1236 Nano iPod worked great until today. This morning it didn't turn on. Thought it was battery. Charged it but didn't help.  Turned it off & on. Isn't recognized by iTunes or Computer Devices. Now what?

    I suggest you take it to Apple and ask them to check it out for you.

    After your restart your Mac, click the Apple  menu (top left in your screen) then click:  Software Update ...

  • WRT160N. Wireless works great until I turn on my wired desktop.

    WRT160n v1 firmware 1.02.2
    Only have printer and laptop connected wireless.
    Wired connection works good.
    Wireless connections works good until I turn on my desktop ( wired)
    If wireless does work with desktop on (big if) very slow page loading.

    Well try resetting the router for 30 seconds in such a way that power light is blinking on the router & then do a complete network power cycle i.e., unplug the power cable from the modem & from the router & then plug the power cable to the modem first & once all the lights are solid green you could plug the power cable to the router & you will be able to go online wirelessly.

  • CS5 Premiere was working perfectly until last night... Now not responding. Any solutions?

    Hey all,
    So, for the past month I've had no problems editing with premiere. Then last night while editing on a much smaller project than normal, (same file types) the program started slowing down, considerably. Now, any keystroke puts the program into "not responding" and it takes minutes to select clips. I've restarted the computer, program, and looked at my cpu usage in the task manager. While the program is running, and then not responding, the computer is not stressing at all, 14% cpu, 31% memory. 
    Im running an i7 [email protected], 8gb ram, with ati hd 5770.
    What i dont understand is why I've had no issues until last night, and now I cant use the product at all. My After Effects still works fine at least.
    Any one else have this issue or know of a fix?

    Along with TClark's questions, try doing a New Project, and test it out.
    There have been reports of Project files bloating, and then not working properly. Adobe is working on that. Seems that many/most/all of those came with CS4 Projects converting to CS5. Was there any CS4 to CS5 conversion anywhere in this workflow?
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Works great until I try to quit the app. Hangs every single time.

    Just updated to iLife 09 specifically to take advantage of the new iPhoto features. When I go to quit the app though, a small window drops down saying that it is saving data with a button that gives you the option to finish the save at a later time. Clicking this button will successfully quit the app. If I let the save go through, once the progress bar fills up, it starts blinking and will either 1) crash the app resulting in a message from the OS, or 2) remain on screen until I force quit.
    Running the latest version of iPhoto. Has happened ever since the initial iLife 09 install. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

    Library is in my "Pictures" folder. I never moved it out.
    I created a new library as you suggested, entered photos, tagged names, and quit. It quit right away without even stating that it needed to save anything like it does in my main library. The actual message I get when quitting my main Library is this:
    "iPhoto is saving critical information for your photo library. This information includes recent changes such as imported photos, album updates, and ratings. If you prefer, you can save this information later."
    There is a progress bar underneath, and a button that says "Later". If I click the button, it will quit. If I let it run through the save process, the progress bar fills up and then blinks indicating that the app has locked up. I even let it sit there for hours and it never quit after the progress bar was showing that it should be done.

  • HP Photsmart C4680  worked great until Snow Leopard please help

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software and everything is fine until I try to have the printer and the Mac communicate. I have had nothing but problems since Snow Leopard. If someone can help me with my printer problem or tell me how to uninstall Snow Leopard that would be even better. Thankx!

    OK,
    I am glad scanning through Preview is working. Scanning through Image Capture and the Desktop Printer should also work. If you want to use HP Scan (which replaced HP Scan Pro), a full Snow Leopard compatible solution for the HP Photosmart C4680 is available from [HP.com|http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=a l-75095-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&os=219&product=3739150].
    Just trying to help.

  • Airport Extreme was working great until recently ...?

    Internet still works (thus this posting), but it seems to remove my printers every few days now.
    Symptom first started when my Win XP machine stopped being able to print via the Airport. Now, the Macbook Pro won't print either. Oddly enough when I open up the Airport Utility the printer plugged in to the Airport doesn't show up, but the one that's unplugged does.

    Same as me (Epson R800 & Brother MFC).
    Long story short I got mine working again (today) by restarting everything. Last time this issue happened restarting didn't help however & I spent some time reconfiguring. Not sure what causes the Airport to loose the printers, but it's all working now.

    about:crashes only lists crashes that you have reported using the [[Mozilla Crash Reporter]] which comes up after a crash. Because there are so many possible reasons for a crash, getting the crash ID really helps volunteers find the cause quicker.
    That doesn't mean we can't help without a crash id. :-) No crashes here, but I'm also on Snow Leopard and using Firefox 3.6.6.
    Are you using Firefox 3.6.6? The most common cause of crashes on Mac is the Flash plugin. Are you using the latest version of Flash? You can check at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
    Do you remember any specific circumstances about when the crash occurred? What sites you were on?
