CS6 spinning "busy" cursor while saving in background.

On Mountain Lion and Mavericks GM, Photoshop CS6 displays (flickers) the spinning "busy" cursor while either auto-saving or saving in the background.  The cursor is the Adobe black dot variety, not the OSX beach ball.  It flickers rapidly between the spinning balls and the currently used Photoshop cursor, for the duration of a save or auto-save.  For a multi gigabyte file, this can mean a several minutes of flickering.
I can work while saving, but obviously with a flickering cursor, it's difficult.  Interestingly, the flickering only starts after the second save after restarting Photoshop; i.e. I start Photoshop, open a file, save, and it's fine.  Then I continue working and save again, or auto-save, and the spinning/flickering starts while saving.  It won't go away unles I restart Photoshop again, and comes back on the second save of the next session.
Machine is a Mac Pro 2 x 2.93 6-Core with 32GB RAM and running an Nvidia Quadro 4000.  Scratch disk is a dedicated internal 120gb SSD.
Performance settings for CS6 were tweaked multiple times to no avail.  Fonts caches removed.  Permissions repaired.  PRAM reset.  Basically all the standard troubleshooting methods were attempted. 
On Snow Leopard, I have zero issues with this.  On upgrading to Mountain Lion last year, the cursor began flickering, so I reverted to Snow Leopard.  This year, I installed Mavericks GM in the hopes it would be remedied, but the flickering returned.  I have reverted again to Snow Leopard and everything is back to normal.
The only thing I can try at this point is a clean install of ML or Mavericks, instead of the upgrade I've been doing.  This would be a considerable hassle, so I am asking here first if there's anything I can do before trying that.
Thanks.
Rob

Hi Rob,
I just discovered your message after many research on the internet. I'm actually experiencing the same issue, this "busy"cursor while autosaving.
Like you, I used to have no problem at all on Snow Leopard.
My machine is a Macpro 2,8Ghz Quad core with 16GB Ram.
Could you find a solution  to your problem?
Thank you
Stéphane

  • How would I get visible busy cursor while calling ImageSnapshot.captureImage?

    Hi,
    I'm not sure if I understand correctly, but below is my very simple MXML file, where I try to show busy cursor before calling ImageSnapshot.captureImage.

    I'm experiencing the same problem. ¿Did you solve it?
    It happens as if it were no background image defined for the bussy cursor.
    But I have seen that such image is defined in default.css inside framework.swc, so it should work...

  • Busy Cursor for ListBox

    Hi,
        I want to show busy cursor while loading data in list box. Is it possible to show busy cursor for list box or any other way to show busy cursor while loading data in list box.
    Regards,

    you could use the static methods in the CursorManager class to show and remove the busy cursor on roll over and roll out events in the List
    CursorManager.setBusyCursor();
    CursorManager.removeBusyCursor();

  • Show Custom Busy Cursor on RemoteObject calls

    Hi,
    I am trying to display a custom image as busy cursor while making remote object calls in flex 4 with cairngorm.
    i tried in two different ways and neither worked -
    First approach - declaring style for CursorManager in css style sheet:-
    CursorManager {
    busy-cursor: Embed(source="/com/officemax/amps/assets/images/ball-3.jpg");
    This did not work as it could not resolve a namespace and i could not find CursorManager either with mx or s namespace.
    Second approach - set cursormanager style on initiliaze of application file:-
    [Embed(source="/com/officemax/amps/assets/images/ball-3.jpg")]
    public var busyImg:Class;
    and on init method-
    styleManager.getStyleDeclaration("mx.managers.CursorManager").setStyle("busy-cursor", busyImg);
    This did not work either. this returned CSSDeclaration class for the CursorManager but I could not see the cursor reflect.
    I do not want to set and remove cursor upon each call, i want to apply it globally.
    Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
    Thank You.

    @lakshdn,
    The two approached you used should work. I suspect surely you made mistakes..Well let me explain..
    In the CSS style declaration below make sure you have assigned the correct relative. If you are getting any error saying that it could not resolve the path or namespace then it means that you have not assigned the image path correctly. Make sure it is given correctly.
    CursorManager {
    busy-cursor: Embed(source="/com/officemax/amps/assets/images/ball-3.jpg");
    Well coming to AS style of setting cursor manager . You have used systemManager with lower case for s and in the setStyle method you need to use the busyCursor instead of busy-cursor(similar to css).
    styleManager.getStyleDeclaration("mx.managers.CursorManager").setStyle ("busy-cursor", busyImg); - wrong way of assigning.
    StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration("mx.managers.CursorManager").setStyle ("busyCursor", busyImg); - correct way of assigning.
    Observe the changes I made in bold letters.
    Always remember when you are setting styles in AS using setStyle method you need to give the properties in the lower camel case but not as you give in the css. In css we can use any king of style (either word seperated by hyphen or lower camel case syntax)
    Hope this is clear ..make these changes and check..
    Thanks,

  • Airport Utility 5.3.2 spins busy/waiting cursor labeled _notLocalized_

    I'v just bought a new Time-Capsule 1TB. After successfully setting up my TC I found out that I couldn't connect at the required distance. I then bought an additional Airport Extreme. When trying to configure the AE I was prompted to update my TC and and AE and a newer version of Airport Utility. Since then I've been unable to update either my TC nor my AE. Both are seen by the AU 5.3.2 but when clicking to the next page (continue button) Airport Utility spins busy/waiting cursor labeled notLocalized. When opening to the manual setup AU is able to read the configuration but when I try to update I get the same busy/waiting cursor labeled notLocalized.
    I've tried re-updating the software, connect through ethernet cable, reset to factory default (AE), so practically all but reseting my TC, since this at least working as it should. I think it's the Airport Utility thats not working correctly, but I'm no real expert. Any suggestions?

    Another option, go to "system preferences/international/languages" choose english and restart airport utility.

  • No busy cursor when open document

    Hi,
    I have 32-bit Arch with Gnome. When I launch an app, say OpenOffice, from the menu, the cursor will turn into a busy one (indicating something working in the background). That's fine. However, when I click on a .doc file. The cursor stays the same (just the arrow) and openoffice pop up after awhile. This is very annoying because it causes me to open serveral instances of the app and slow down my computer because I don't know if it will open or not. Please help me fix this. Thanks

    I don't think there's any way to "fix" it. OO can ask for a "busy" cursor to be displayed within its own window, but how can it have a cursor with no window? Another word processor might start up faster though. Or perhaps you could refrain from frantically clicking on the file while you wait.

  • Busy Cursor in SchedulingGantt

    Hi.
    I have a SchedulingGantt and I want to show a busy cursor when the user changes a task (or any DataChangeEvent). Any idea how I can do that?
    When the user moves a task it will pop back to where it was, the model has to be refreshed on the server and then the page(or at least the gantt) has to be refreshed to show the new location. This can take a few seconds and during that time it looks to the user like nothing happened.
    I found the AdfAgent.showBusyCursor function which probably would work, but how do I catch the DataChangeEvent on the client before it is sent to the server? My first thought was to use af:clientListener on the dvt:schedulingGantt but that isn't supported.
    Are there any other ways to do this?

    Two things come to mind:
    1. put an <af:statusIndicator> on the page. This will show a spinning gif whenever a ppr is active. A good visual feedback for the user
    2. use a [glass pane |http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/tips/fnimphius/glasspane/glasspane.html] to disable the whole UI while something is active.

  • Could someone help me with a Runtime Error while saving a PDF file?

    While saving a 28 page PDF file in Illustrator today, I got a window saying, "This application has requested the "Runtime" to terminate it in a unusual way." It said to contact the applications support team for more information. I keep getting the same thing each time I try it. Does anyone know how to fix this issue or how I contact the applications support team ?
    Thank you for any insight.
    Pam

    It is a 13.5x11 inch calendar. There are 14 pages with images on them and
    some text. The other pages have text, a grid and a colored background with a
    gaussian blur. I saved each page as an "outline".
    The printer I am using requested I save all pages in a pdf file. I was
    successful in saving all but about six pages, now I can't even open the
    file.
    What happens is... I open Illustrator
                                   I open the pdf file
                                   A window appears that says... Runtime Error,
    This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual
    way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.
                                   I select ok

                                   Then the program closes.
    So far I have not been notified of anything.
    Please let me know if you need more details.

  • Error while saving text as attachment

    Hi All,
      When a layout is generated. I get the following error :
    Error while saving text as attachment , Size of the attachment is maximun than the size allowed.
    I guess the generated layout is automatically saved as attachment. Can any one suggest how to disable the option of automatic saving as attachment
    Thanks ,
    Kaushik

    Hi,
    if you want to keep the automatic saving as attachment you might check note 599680.
    The saving is done normally in method TextGeneration in the underlying Business Object, e.g. BOSALESDOCGEN, BOACTIVITY or BOSERVICETRANSACTION. There you will find the according code lines in the end.

  • F.28 error while executing in background

    Hi All,

    Hi
    Credit Control Basics
    There are only three places where a credit check can occuru2014the sales order, the delivery,
    and at goods issue.
    The system executes the credit check on the sales order or delivery based on the
    configuration settings. If the credit check fails, the system then either stops the user from
    saving the document, or it allows the document to be saved but it blocks the document with
    a credit block.
    Documents blocked for credit must be released by an authorized person before they can
    be processed further. For example, a delivery for an order cannot be created if the order has
    a credit block on it.
    You can view documents blocked for credit by selecting Logistics | Sales and
    Distribution | Credit Management | Sales and Distribution Documents | All (transaction
    code VKM3). You can also use this transaction to release a blocked document.
    Once a document is released, you can continue processing it even though the credit
    limit check failed.
    Every time a user changes a sales document, the credit limit check is executed again.
    For example, if a document was released with a value of $10,000, and the value is changed to
    $11,000 and the customer is still over his limit, the document will be blocked for credit again.
    This is because the new value exceeds the released value.
    You can use program RVKRED08 to recheck all documents blocked for credit. For example,
    if a customer pays his account, you want to recheck all his documents. Some documents can
    now be released because of the payment received. It is a good idea to schedule a background
    job using this program so that blocked documents are checked on a regular basis. This will
    keep the blocked documents up to date with any changes to the account or to sales documents,
    such as a payment being made. If a large sales order that was holding up the credit limit is
    cancelled, other blocked documents can use the value that is freed up by the cancellation.

  • How can I retain hyperlinks while saving a webpage as PDF via Print?

    How can I retain hyperlinks while saving a webpage as PDF via Print?
    This is the title of an apple forum question, and it is a bug in both Safari 5.1.3 and under, and I find it to also occur in Firefox browser (at least 9.* 10.*, 11.0), running on Lion OS (10.7.2, 10.7.3). See:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3212301?start=0&tstart=0
    Under the newer Mac OS mentioned, and Firefox 10.2, 11.0, 9.*, if I select:
    File -> Print -> PDF -> Open PDF in Preview"
    (and view / save the PDF in Preview, you will see none of the links in the original web page are active
    or using
    File -> Print -> PDF -> Save as PDF...
    same problem. Try this using any Wikipedia page, for example.
    When this problem was posed in Apple forums, by a user of the Safari browser, it was found to be a bug (since Aug 2011) fixed in a Safari browser build 5.1.4 circa Jan 2012. I tried the newer Safari browser and sure enough the problem went away (except that links embedded in the PDF no longer appeared as blue text - ARGH - but "hover over" with the cursor showed the link and clicking the link in Preview viewer activated the link in a browser window).
    So I post this to the Mozilla community, please fix this 'cause I don't want to have to switch over to Safari browser every time I want to archive a PDF with active links!!!!
    P.S. I did a spot-check and with the newer add-on Enjoy Reading 1.0.1 and FF11.0. When the Enjoy reading formatted version appears in the browser window, all URLs/links are preserved and highlighted in blue, but when I print that browser window as PDF, the links are dead (don't work) even though they appear in blue in the PDF.
    So, what's going on, can the Safari fix be researched and applied to FF?
    Also, on some forums, people are responding, Well, try installing Acrobat reader. Well, I don't want to, Preview reader has worked fine for me for years.

    Thanks jscher2000.
    RE: -- '''Generally speaking, PDF converters that work by intercepting a print job do not have access to the URLs behind links in the page.''' --
    I cannot say I agree. I could email you a PDF clipping or two (generated from Safari on Mac OS, in its native capability with no add-ons) that shows you otherwise. When I used PC platforms I did have to install PDF converters (tried both free and expensive ones) that did what I describe.
    I cannot try the add-on you mention, '''Print Pages to Pdf.''' in Firefox. It shows in my browser and Mac OS platform "Not available for your platform." So I am guessing it was written for the PC version of Firefox.
    The Mac OS has had a native PDF-creation functionality for as many years as I have been using it; I used PC prior to that, Win3.1 through XP and NT. And on my PC, I bought (and at work, my employer bought $$$, I had to justify three levels up to management the ability to create PDFs on my work PC) some Adobe functionality to CREATE pdf's (readin's free and easy, makin' em's costly on the PC).
    I've gone and dug through some of my (Mac) doc and clipping archives, and I find that stuff I created after about Dec 2008 or so seems to eliminate all link functionality. When viewed in the Apple native "Preview" application (sort of Apple's equivalent to Adobe Acrobat reader, ships with the OS): link tags are highlighted/tinted, clicking a link opens a (default) browser and takes you there; hover-over the tag text shows the actual link. (Of course, not all old links are still VALID or point to the desired source.)
    I could, in Safari or FF browser window and with no add-ons or Adobe paid products whatsoever, use the native OS method to create PDF's from any application (word processor, spreadsheet, browser, etc) via the menu File -> Print -> Save as PDF menu and create a PDF that had active hyperlinks. In Apple OS Lion 10.7.3, I still can't when it uses this broken WebKit interface, links are "dead" as a doornail until a fix is distributed in WebKit for a future Lion release. It seems this functionality died at least as far back as Leopard OS 10.6.8, but don't quote me on that. Also, my version of Pages 2009 version 4.1(923) (sorta like Word) STILL creates a PDF document that preserves (1) text hyper-links within the document, and (2) web links (in the PDF) that open the browser. I just made a test document.
    When all you can see in the PDF is the tag text, there is nothing to copy-paste to follow any link. Also, hypertext links are often used by authors to create links to other points in a document: now even *that* is broken in the PDF version of the documents I retrieve from the web and print from FireFox (Broken in Safari 5.1.3 and earlier but fixed in 5.1.4).
    Try this on the PC, in your browser and print a news clipping as PDF, do the links in the PDF work? What products do this, and what don't? I would bet the machine with a full Adobe suite this will work flawlessly. (Why should a PC user have to pay hundreds of $ to create this functionality in what I thought was an open standard (PDF)? But that's talkin' religion, let's not start that.)
    Some folks might say,
    go online and find the original source doc in your browser. Or,
    go and add those links manually using the Preview edit add-link capability (hunh? no thanks) , or
    save each item worth saving as an HTML archive instead of a PDF (argh, creating a whole directory in the process, I might add, including ads). Or,
    who needs PDFs, everything is online.
    Or, buy some Adobe product.
    I think they miss my point. This is a real strange dumbing-down of archival PDF documents, or at least a destruction of the ability to use PDF as an archive that retains its links and references.
    C.F. the guy who has archives of scientific papers, and the old material all cross-references nicely but after date X there are no working links.
