CS6 freezes for 30 seconds when switching to any Brush tool.

After about 10 minutes of working with CS6, switching to any tool that utilizes a brush, such as Clone, Brush, Eraser, History Brush, etc. causes the program to freeze. All other applications are OK.
I assumed I had too many brush presets loaded, so I deleted all but three simple brushes. Same problem keeps occurring.
I think the program has crashed whenever this happens, but it eventually wakes up again.
I remember this happening with an older version of Photoshop (on another computer), but it was fixed with an update.
Is this a known problem? This halts my productivity, as I have to go get a snack whenever I want to use a brush tool.
I'm running out of snacks.
Please advise!
Running Mac OSX 10.6.8

I have found something similar.  It seems when I apply a mask and invert it then go to paint on the mask with a brush  it will freeze like you say for 30 seconds or so. It seems it's more likely to occur if I do the mask, invert and start to paint in rapid succession.
Running OSX 10.6.8 as well.

  • Mac Book freezes for 10 seconds when I print screen!

    Hi fellows,
    I am having noticed a very incommon problem. Sometimes, when I press commandshift3 or commandshift3 to capture the screen, my mac freezes for 20 seconds...
    How can I solve it?

  • Mountain Lion freezes for few seconds when closing tabs

    Hi all,
    When closing tabs on Google Chrome, usually after "heavy" navigation (HD flash video or several pdfs opened for examples), Moutain Lion sometimes freezes for less than 10 seconds and then back to normal. The trackpad is still responsive but I can't do anything appart moving the pointer. It appears around two times in one hour. In never appends with other applications like Photoshop or games.
    This may be already a known issue on ML, but all the reports I read were pretty old and not exactly similar. Here some details :

  • HT201263 iphone only shows logo for 13 seconds when connected to pc thats all it does however i connected to wall socket it goes up to connect to itunes but when i unplug it then it switches off

    iphone only shows logo for 13 seconds when connected to pc thats all it does however i connected to wall socket, it goes up to connect to itunes but when i unplug it then it switches off.
    this is coincidently after an ios update for iphone which i did just approx two days earlier which was suppused to fix battery issues?
    also battery shows 100 percent full but as i explained if disconected from socket it switches off altogether.

    Hopefully and most likely faulty battery. If you have Warranty or AppleCare, make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution.

  • APPHANGB1 when browsing the web, or just keeping it open. Happens once in a 5 minutes, and it freezes for 30 seconds. I found many people who have this problem too ....

    Odds are only someone that develops apps for iOS would have access to whatever this is and, even then, this information may still not be available.
    I would do a backup of your phone & then erase it and restore from the backup to see if the odd behavior goes away. If so, something went funny with your update the first time around. If not, there's something in your backup that's making the phone throw a fit.
    I resolved my battery issues (more or less) by disabling the "set date/time automatically" setting. I haven't re-enabled it yet but my battery life has been much better with it off.

  • Gaming apps freezes for few seconds , then resumes by itself or crashes sometimes ,after upgrading to iOS 8.3 on iphone 6

    Gaming apps freezes for few seconds , then resumes by itself or crashes sometimes ,after upgrading to iOS 8.3 on iphone 6

    Update: my phone's connecting to the WiFi again. I don't know what did the trick. I did nothing since reinstalling the software. It hadn't worked then, it is now. I tried connecting to my dad's phone's hotspot( he uses a Moto G), and it worked. I then tried connecting to the WiFi at a friend's house, and when I came back home, my phone was able to connect to my WiFi! Is it of any significance that my friend's router doesn't require a password? My issue has been resolved( for now; I hope I'm not counting my chickens before they've hatched). For anyone facing a similar issue, I suggest you try everything I did:
    1. Turn your router off for a minimum of 30 seconds, turn it back on and try connecting.
    2. Click on the WiFi network you are connected to, scroll to the bottom, tap "Renew Lease".
    3. Do a soft and hard reset.
    4. Reset network settings.
    5. Back your data up, erase all content from settings menu, restore from backup.
    6. Reinstall your software( put it in recovery mode).
    I am not sure which of the above worked for me. Make sure you try everything. If none of the above works, take it to a genius bar or an authorised service provider. Good luck! :)

  • My ipad freezes 5~7 seconds when I tried to delete apps.

    Sometimes my ipad freezes 5~7 seconds when I tried to delete apps. 5 to 7 seconds later, question window appears.
    Is this normal working??

    Try a reset and see if that helps : 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.

  • Ichat freezes for 5 seconds

    While on ichat, video will freeze for 5 seconds and come back, then continues to freeze for 5 seconds intermittently during the video chat. Happens whenever I am on iChat, regardless of who I am chatting with. Party on the other end does not see any indication that this is happening.

    Hi,
    You don't need iChat.
    It should not be on there at all.
    If the iCon in the DOCK looks like this then it is linked to iChat 4.
    You should be able to Right/Control click that and get it to "Show in Finder"

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • The browser freezes for a second while playing Zuma Blitz and Bejeweled Blitz on Facebook. It also freezes for a second while typing. What's going on?

    During gameplay on Facebook it falls under Adobe Flash. If I "END" the plugin-container.exe the game crashes and have to refersh the page, in which case the plugin starts all over again. There seems to be no way to play without this process running. My typing is also freezing for a second before it catches up to my fingers. This has been happening for about two weeks. I never had this problem playing these games before.
    My OS is Windows Vista and I'm running Firefox version 3.6.13

    Update: Firefoxe's best browser was version ~2.2.21!
    Ever since then, the user experience has been less and less. Slower browser, feats most users don't use (like skins)... really.. I'm a bit disappointed at the (negative) progress of late.

  • 8900 curve loud speaker comes on when for 3 seconds when i answer a call?!?!

    8900 curve loud speaker comes on when for 3 seconds when i answer a call, 
    i use the green answer key to answer.
    is this something in the settings that is wrong?

    I had exactly the same problem when I first received my phone. I was using an old sim card (non 3G) which I had been using for over 3 years. To solve the issue I got a new 3G sim from the network which resolved the problem.
