CS6 freezes when I click Filter Gallery.

When I try to shutdown I see 'waiting for Stained Glass (100%)'.
I can use other applications, it is just the CS6 freezing.

I found the solution: I deleted the Preferences file and restarted CS6. Now it is ok.

  • Photoshop CS6 freezes when using Liquify filter

    Hi,
    sorry for starting this topic again, but reading other discussions didn't help. THe problem is that Photoshop freezes when I use Liquify filter. It is enough just to open it and then click cancel - the Photoshop gets stucked immediately. I have never had such problem before, ran the whole Creative Suite 6 succesfully on my laptop, but after I reinstalled system using an old system image, it is not working properly.
    I have Photoshop CS6, Windows 7 64 bit and I have Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000 integrated and NVIDIA GeForce GT540M external graphics cards. I am forcing the laptop to use NVIDIA only for everything, also I force Photoshop itself to start with NVIDIA GPU. Nothing helped.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks for your help!

    Is it possible the old system image had an old video card driver or you are not running the latest CS6 update? I would first check to be certain you have all the latest CS6 and video card updates.

  • Extension Manager CS6 freezes when loading extensions

    Extension Manager CS6 freezes when loading extensions
    When launching Extension Manager CS6 it starts loading extensions but totally freezes when the last 30 percent of the loading extension bar is still unaccomplished. It is not possible to close the window, not even with the task manager.  I have restart the computer to get rid of it.
    My OS is Windows 7, 64 bit. The most recent versions of the entire Adobe CS family are installed, freshly updated, including the Extension Manager CS6.
    To trace the cause of the problem I tried to create a log file in the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Extension Manager CS6. I logged in as administrator and wrote in the Command Prompt Window:
    echo > ExManLog.YES
    The log file was created but contains nothing but "ECHO is on".
    A possible cause of the problem might be that I have two installed active version of Ajatix Advanced CSS Drop Down Menu, which is an add-on to Dreamweaver. The first version is the free one, the second is the full paid version. I would like to deactivate the first one since which might make the Extension Manager happier. But the only way to deactivate it that I know of is to use the Extension Manager. Catch 22.

    Dear Carl, thanks for the advice that made me understand how to remove an extension without using the Extension Manager. However, the problem persists, i.e the Extension Manager freezes soon after it is launched, when the last 30 percent of the loading extension bar is still unaccomplished.
    Following your instruction I have tried to remove both my versions of the troublesome DW extension (Ajatix Advanced CSS Drop Down Menu). Which in my case meant that I deleted the following files:
    the files com.ajatix.AdvancedCSSMenuLight.mxi, com.ajatix.AdvancedCSSMenuLight.mxi_air and com.ajatix.AdvancedCSSMenuLight.zxp in C:\Users\<My UserName>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Extension Manager CS6\EM Store\Dreamweaver CS6
    and the files ajxcssmenu2.3.0.mxi, ajxcssmenu2.3.0.mxi_air and ajxcssmenu2.3.0.mxp in C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Extension Manager CS6\EM Store\Dreamweaver CS6
    In the hope of cleaning out everything from this extension I have also deleted the following files:
    AJXCSSMenu.chm, AJXCSSMenu.dll in C:\Users\UpdatusUser\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS6\en_US\Configuration\JSExtensions
    and AJXCSSMenu.chm, AJXCSSMenu.dll, AJXCSSMenuLight.chm, AJXCSSMenuLight.dll in C:\Users\ipb-master\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS6\en_US\Configuration\JSExtensions
    Every time I thus get rid of the Ajitex files the Extension Manager seems happy and loads the only extension I currently have left (Adobe exchange). However when I reinstall the Ajitex extension, the Extension Manager behaves in the same bad manner, freezes after approximately 70 percent of the process of loading extensions. Same thing when I remove this extension and try to install another from Ajitex (Email Spam Blocker). It seems to install all right but afterward the Extension Manager freezes when launched.
    Don't know what to do now.

  • Screen turns white and freezes when I click on a link

    also freezes when I click on the screen or try to use the right slide bar. Also getting firefox is not responding.

    First, make sure that Firefox is set as the default browser. Ref: [[How to make web links open in Firefox by default]] and [[Setting Firefox as the default browser does not work]]. If links in Outlook Express that should open Firefox freeze the entire computer, you could try temporarily setting Internet Explorer (or another browser) as the default (see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Default_browser#Using_Set_Program_Access_and_Defaults for one way to do that).
    If clicking links in Outlook Express still freezes the computer, you should seek help in a Windows XP forum or an Outlook Express forum ... for example, I found these with a google search:
    *http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-networking/outlook-express-6-causing-computer-to-freeze/75fb3e15-0934-4fb9-888b-3d82d6c7ae10

  • ITunes freezes when I click on "burn" - CD diagnostics attached

    iTunes freezes when I click on "burn" CD, or when I click on the "burning" tab in Edit, Properties, Advanced. I have to then use Task Manager to get out of iTunes then.
    I ran a CD diagnostic and the results are below:

    If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
    Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.
    Current user is administrator.
    D: Unsupported CD or DVD drive.
    Virtual drives can sometimes interfere with reading and writing CDs in iTunes. If this is a virtual drive and you are having problems with other drives, try uninstalling the virtual CD application.
    E: Unsupported CD or DVD drive.
    Virtual drives can sometimes interfere with reading and writing CDs in iTunes. If this is a virtual drive and you are having problems with other drives, try uninstalling the virtual CD application.
    The last failed audio CD burn had error code -128(0xffffff80). It happened on drive on -128(0xffffff80) media at speed 0X.
    Can anyone help?

    Thanks for your question.
    My system has all of the updates and drivers. The problem stated when I upgraded iTunes.
    Are you suggesting that because of that, I need to upgrade to Windows XP?
    Many people are having the same problem as I, and they already have Windows XP....so I doubt that is the problem.
    My question is:
    Where can I find an older revision of iTunes? At least then we could use our burners until apple fixes this bug, and then upgrade.
    Thanks again,

  • Safari still  FREEZES when I click on iTunes Store Links!!!

    Originally this Thread was called: Safari 4.0.3 PPC = FREEZES when I click on iTunes Store Links!!!
    Wish I didn't specify the version, so that I could have continued it all as One Thread after the next update, 4.0.4... This Discussion Board doesn't allow the Author of the Top to Edit the Title of the Title of the Topic... Now that Safari 4.0.4 Update has been released, when people see 4.0.3 in the Topic Name, they might be more likely to ignore it. Lesson learnt...
    Please review the Original Topic http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10469114 and Reply HERE http://discussions.apple.com/post!default.jspa?forumID=876 so it could be unified as One Thread...
    The latest:
    After Sleeping my PB G4 during the night, the problem still exist. After Restart, the problem is gone... I'll continue to watch this, and hopefully it won't be happening too often...

    So, I thought that starting a New Topic, without a specifying the Old Version 4.0.3 would be a safer bet...
    Then you should close the old topic by marking it as Answered or Solved; don't leave them open.
    If Safari still freezes, try this:
    1. Go to Home/Library/Cookies and delete the Cookies.plist file.
    2. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
    3. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Web Page Previews and delete the contents of that folder.
    4. If you don't want to use the Top Sites or Cover Flow features, open Terminal and paste in this command:
    defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSnapshotsUpdatePolicy -int 2
    then press Enter or Return and quit Terminal
    5. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
    6. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
    7. Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete these files (if you have them):
    Downloads.plist
    History.plist
    Form Values
    LastSession.plist
    WebpageIcons.db
    Then Repair Permissions, restart Safari and see if the problem continues.

  • Lightroom freezes when i click import button

    how do i keep lightroom from freezing when i click import button. right now it is worthless. adobe technical support is no help

    F. McLion wrote:
    You are copying the photos. Does LR have the permission to delete the files from its source location - as DdeGannes suggested? Maybe this dialog is misleading.
    Did you try to just add files copied to the destination before - just for finding the issue?
    If nothing helps: Any chance you can upload one of the jpg to some file sharing service so we can have look at it?
    I believe DdeGannes suggested permission on the Destination folder (not the source folder).  Performing a copy requires only Read&Write permission on the destination folder, not the source folder. You need to go into your operating system and change the permissions to Read&Write on the destination folder. (If you don't know how to do that, go to your favorite search engine and type in Change Permissions Mac)

  • Firefox freezes when i click add ons options

    Also NONE of my add-ons are working... they dont do what their supposed to do. No add on i download works, i have firefox 7.0.1.
    For example these are some add ons i downloaded, Firebug, Personas, ImTranslator, Download helper. (Basicly when i click on options on any add on it freezes and doesnt do anything and I cant do anything on firefox so i have to close it with Windows Task Manager.

    Delete the files extensions.* (extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry.
    See "Corrupt extension files": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
    If you see disabled extensions that are not compatible on the next start in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the "Find Updates" button to do a compatibility check.

  • Illustrator CS6 Freezing when opening existing files. Need Help ASAP.

    Hello There,
    I have the most current version on Illustrator CS6. When opening files, any file, it freezing and I have to force quit the application. I have deleted the pref file with some luck, it will only work for a short time. I have held shift+cmd+opt and this too will work 1 in 10 time. I've uninstalled illustrator multiple times. no progress.  I need a fix not a band-aid. I am on a mac running OS X 10.8.3. Is this a known issue? I have a co-working having the same issues.
    Any suggestions??

  • Audition sometimes freezes when I click the open icon in the files pane

    Hi all
    I am using Audition CS5.5 under Windows 7 64-bit. I am finding that quite frequently, when I click the "open file" icon in the top left of the files pane, Audition simply freezes -- I don't get an error message; the application is shown to be running as normal in Windows Task Manager, and doesn't have suspiciously high RAM or CPU usage. It just won't do anything further. I have to close it via Task Manager.
    I don't have any other files open at the time, but so far this has tended to happen immediately after doing batch processing.
    However I haven't been able to identify specific steps to reproduce the issue 100%.
    Has anyone else experienced this?

    It's very difficult to deal with freeze issues - we really don't have enough info to go on. What you should do is to read this FAQ carefully, and do exactly as it says.

  • Safari freezes when I click the Share button or when I try to right-click on the URL to copy/paste

    The Address bar and Share functions in Safari cause it to crash/freeze when I try to share or copy/paste the URL.  Any ideas/solutions?

    Might be an incompatible Safari extension or plug-in causing the freeze ...
    Try troubleshooting extensions and third party plug-ins.
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that off if there are any installed. Quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn extensions back on then uninstall one a time to test.
    If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
    Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect:  Allow all other plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.

  • ITunes freezes when I click burn disc

    I've been a fan of iTunes since it came out, however, it's pretty worthless if I can't play my music in my car. I haven't been able to burn CDs for quite a while now. I can't pinpoint exactly when it stopped burning CDs but someone suggested that it was because of something in Windows Service Pack 2. I don't know. When I click burn disc, iTunes immediately freezes and I have to close it in the task manager. Also, if I go to edit preferences, and click on the burning tab, iTunes freezes, same situation. If anyone has any ideas how to remedy the problem, would you please let me know. I've already done two clean reinstalls to no avail.
    - Craig

    hi Craig!
    drat. i was hoping that you had one of the Dell "two minute" hangs, which often seemed to be cleared up by heading to Dell to stock up on recent updates.
    how about the rest of your CD diagnostics? have you followed up on any other recommendations made about checking your chipset or video driver or so forth?
    if no joy with that, head here to check for other documentation and to submit your CD diagnostics to Apple:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/windows/cddiagnostics/
    and keep periodically refreshing your thread here with another post. (if there have been any developments in the meantime, some informed passerby might be able to give you updated news.)

  • Trying to install CS6 but when I click to install it says Adobe Installer is already running.

    HI,
    I'm trying to install Adobe CS6 Master Collection but when I click to install it says Adobe Installer is already running when in fact it is not.  I double checked my Force Quit window and my Activity monitor it is not running. What do I do?
    Here is a screen shot to show you the error message.

    I'm not really  a Mac expert, we might need some Mac experts to chime in here.
    It probably is a background process and not an application. If anything, I think you'll find it in the Activity Monitor.
    If that does not help, you could also try the following:
    1. Reboot and retry install ( you've probably done this already)
    2. Boot in safe mode and then try installing.
