CS6 - Tools Freeze after 1st use

CS6 - After using one of the tools (select, crop, healing) 1st time, I further use or ability to change (from Patch to Red Eye Removal) can't be done. I have to close CS6 and reopen. I can save, and use filters, but not of the "left side" tools.

I should mention I am using Windows 7 on a Samsung Serios 7 laptop that uses a quad core Intel i7 processor with 8 gig of ram.
Attached is an image where I try to demonstrate with serious problem. I've opened the image. Created a white rectangle by using the select rectangle tool. Next I want to switch from the "healing" tool to the "patch" tool. I right click to open the list of 4 tools and at that point I can point to the "patch" tool with the mouse cursor, but can't select it. This is the case with all the other tools in the tool bar as well.
I have to save the image. Close PhotoShop and restart, then select and use "patch".
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Frank

Ipod freezing after not using it for 2 days

my Ipod freezes after not using it for 2 days, should i go to the apple store and get a new 1, or is this normal. If i do go to the apple store, i would probably get a nano right since they dont sell mini's anymore

What do you mean it "freezes". After 36 hours of inactivity the mini will go into 'deep sleep' mode. When awoken from deep sleep, the iPod will appear to reset. Is this what yours is doing? If so, it's normal.
Also, Apple still has a stock of minis available for warranty claims, so you wouldn't get a nano.
Cheers!

PSE 12 freezes after the use of certain tools

Hi all,
I've been using PSE 12 for about a year and it's been working great. I recently upgraded to Yosemite on my iMac, and now every time I try to use certain features on PSE (lasso tool, stamp tool), the program freezes and I have to force quit. I have tried restarting several times. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem? I really wouldn't like to have to purchase the program another time just because of a bug.
Thanks
Joseph

Hi All,
I had the same problem after going to Yosemite. Followed Barbara's link and all is well (Thanks Barbara :-)

Macbook 2.1 full freezing after I use rear camera on iPhone 4G.

Hi

I don't understand, why fade out my text, but I replace it:)
My problem is, if I use rear camera on iPhone 4G, then the macbook is full freezing.
Only what I can do, I need push power button
I looked forward OSX 10.6.5 and iOS 4.2.1 but nothing happened.
I switched off/on facetime, restarted mobile, but nothing happened.
This is a serious fault.
If somebody answer me, I can insert my system log file next again.
I try in link, because it is very long

My iMac 27'' freezes after I use iPhoto

I just bought my iMac27'' last week and I notice thta when I use iphoto it freezes the computer.

I can only say that the latest and all previous versions of iPhoto are very stable on both my iMac's, a 2006 1.83 GHz Core Duo and a 2010 Mac Mini, and that it shouldn't be happening. It is possible that there is either a hardware or software problem with your new iMac and/or Lion and I think that you should make an appointment with your local Apple Store or authorized retailer where you bought the iMac and have it checked out.

Time machine freezes after restore using migration assistant

after an erase/install done in an Apple Store, I restored my Mac Book from the Time Machine using the migration agent.
To do this I created a temporary admin account and performed the Restore of all users and contents in the backup.
Now logged in as my old user ID the time machine backup starts and identifies that the entire MacBook content needs to be backed up.
TM Backup runs through the prepairing stage and reaches the "Baccking up 'xxx' MB from 'yyy' GB" message.
Then it gets stuck after 120 MB has been backed up. I did run the backup for 2 entire nights in the 2nd night it got stuck after 0 kB had been backed up.
What to I need to do to get TM running again?

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the word "Starting" (without the quotes) in the String Matching text field. You should now see log messages with the words "Starting * backup," where * represents any of the words "automatic," "manual," or "standard." Note the timestamp of the last such message. Clear the text field and scroll back in the log to that time. Select the messages timestamped from then until the end of the backup, or the end of the log if that's not clear. Copy them (command-C) to the Clipboard. Paste (command-V) into a reply to this message.
If all you see are messages that contain the word "Starting," you didn't clear the search box.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don't post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

InDesign CS6 tools freezing up

Some of my tools have frozen up when in my InDesign documents. I can't use the content tool, item tool, change strokes, swatches, etc. Anyone know what could have happened? They were working fine 2 days ago.

What changed on the computer in the last tow days? What OS?

After Software Updates Applied Mac Mini Freezes after little use

Yesterday I let the computer run updates, now after a short period of use the computer desktop goes to an hour glass and I have to reboot to get control back. Even terminal sessions are frozen. Only Apple software installed on the computer, except for PostgreSQL, Sonos and Mozy. I deinstalled Mozy but that did not help.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

I wonder if its a virus?
whatever it is that plagues your machine, i certainly isn't a virus - there aren't any for Mac !
however, i'm running out of options. the only other thing i can think of would be a complete re-installation of Mac OS. if that doesn't fix your mini, and if it's still under warranty, i would start planing a trip to Apple.
before embarking on that path, be sure you're well baked up. if you don't have a spare, get an external HD (USB or, better yet, firewire) and use e.g. Carbon Copy Cloner to bootably clone your startup disk. a current TM backup would also do (but i recommend both).
maybe another user has a better idea. best of luck in any case !

Itunes freezes after one use

I have been transferring CD's to the library.
After transferring one Cd, itunes freezes and nothing else works. Windows does not shutdown and Outlook does not work.
I have Windows XP.

It seems that I'm not alone. Is there anyone who can help with this issue. I have have around 300 Cd's and the thought of trying to reboot after each Cd is mind numbing. Your help is greatly appreciated.

IPhoto 11 - Edit tools fail after initial use of program

Running 10.6.8 (all updates complete) on new MacBook. Began editing newly imported photos - edit features failed after first 50 photos. I have tried...
* updated all Mac Software
* deleted user iPhoto preferences, emptied trash, reopened
* repaired iPhoto library, etc....
Has this happened to anyone else? Any suggestions for repair/recovery?

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If it does then a reinstall of iPhoto seems warranted. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/ folder,

Then install iPhoto from the disk it came on originally.

IPod music screen freezes after not using it for a while.

If I exit the music screen (while a song is still playing) and then return after a while, the screen will be stuck where I left it. It will show the same song even if another one has started and I will have to wait for a few seconds before it finally shows the new one. If anyone has any idea on how to fix it, i would really appreciate it! Thanks in advance!

- Try a reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- If problem persists the try a restore from backup
- If it still comes back try a restore to factory defaults/new iPod

Photoshop freezes after 2-5 minutes of startup

My photoshop CS6 is freezing after 2-5 minutes of starting it up. I have recently installed this to my computer earlier this week and it has been working fine up until this afternoon. I had no problems with it this morning. I am using a PC running windows 8.1. There seems to be no link between a particular process and the freezing, it appears to be random.@

Hi Andrew
Sometimes 3rd party add-ons create the spinning wheel. Curious which version of Adobe Flash you are using? Go to your Finder: HD>Library>Internet Plug-ins. Click on Flash Player.plugin, then Command/I keys. In the info panel, which version is listed?
Also, do you have any other 3rd party items installed in Safari?

Keyboard and trackpad freeze after being idle for a few minutes

I have a early 2008 MBP and just today the keyboard and trackpad freeze after not using it for a few minutes. I was at work when it happened. I plugged it in and started doing something else and a few minutes later came back and i couldn't move the mouse or do anything with the keyboard, but processes were still running. For example, I have a fan speed app that sits in the toolbar, and it was still showing current fan speed. So I restarted it, and it did it again. So the next time it happened, I closed the lid and opened it up and it fixed it. It's happened several times now after a few minutes of non use and I just close the lid and it fixes it. Also, there was a period when I was using my computer for a couple of hours non stop and it didn't have a problem. Only when I'm not touching the keyboard or trackpad does it do it. since this keeps happening i have verified the disk in disk utility, done a hardware reset with cmd+opt+p+r, ran through system profiler to see if there were any problems with no results, and it still does it. Anyone have any ideas?
It should be noted that not only does the battery not work for more than about 2 minutes, the left I/O board appears to be dying. The power chord takes a considerable amount of wiggling and adjusting before it finds a place where it will actually charge. The audio out and the USB on that side are the same way. So I am aware of that problem. Also, I have had to take out the right side fan multiple times and disassemble and oil the bearing because it's going bad, which requires taking the top plate off, but I haven't had to do that for over 6 months. In my mind if the problem was caused by taking the top plate off, that would fry the entire top plate, which happened once when a technitian at a local company took the computer apart for a waranty repair. All of these problems considered, I don't think they would have anything to do with the fact that the mouse and keyboard suddenly won't work after about 5-10 minutes of sitting idle. I have done nothing different since yesterday that would explain why it does this.
Also, I can't do anything with the install disk because the CD drive is dead. But that's mostly because it was a piece of garbage to begin with.
Any Ideas would be helpful.

After doing some more digging I was watching processes in Activity Monitor to see if I could see what process is failing. I think the problem with with Chrome. It only happened when Chrome was open. And since then I reinstalled it and the problem has so far gone away. So, I think the problems is solved.
