Doc window freezes in ID CS4; won't minimize

Using Mac OS X 10.4.11 on a 24" Intel iMac.
I recently upgraded to ID CS4. While I've noticed a few glitches already, my biggest peeves are 1) the document window won't minimize when you click the yellow button in the bar, and 2) the document window sometimes freezes. The only way to resolve the issue is to click outside the window on the desktop, which usually brings the window back to normal. A quick workaround, but very annoying that the functionality of new software is buggy.
I first noticed this when I downloaded a trial version of ID CS4. I purchased the software package for CS4 Standard Upgrade. Before installing, I uninstalled ID CS4 download version and installed it fresh from DVD. The problems persist.I have also verified and repaired permissions with the Disk Utility in case that was causing the problem, but still no go. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Greg J.

If you haven't already, download the 6.0.4 update. That probably won't fix a video issue, but there are other bugs to squash.
As far as the window problem, if you were a Windows user I'd tell you to update your video drivers, and perhaps look for third-party software that was causing a conflict. If theis were a bug iin ID it would be widely reported, which it is not.

How can I convert an Applework document to .doc (Windows)?

Does anyone know how can I convert an Applework document to .doc (Windows)?

You can save an AppleWorks word processing document as Word using File > Save As… You will need to add the .doc extension as AppleWorks won't do it for you.
If you don't see Word as an option in the file type drop-down menu you likely have moved the AppleWorks application from the AppleWorks 6 folder and/or deleted the support folders, especially the AppleWorks Essentials folder where the translators reside.

How do you make the doc window top show below the menus?

Whenever I open a document, the top bar is hidden behind the 2 horizontal menus at the top (in InDesign). I have to go to the bottom right of the window and shorten it, move the 2 menus to the right, then grab the top of the doc window and scoot it down, then put the 2 menus back. Shouldn't it just start out positioned below the 2 menus? Is there a way to make that happen automatically? It is driving me nuts.

On the Mac, 'maximize' (the green button in the title bar) is +context sensitive+ - it expands the window based on the content of the window. If the content is not screen-filling, the window won't get any bigger than necessary. There's no 'global' solution to this for OS X, but for Safari in particular, the Saft plugin has an option for full-screen browsing.

File Info (Exif) window empty and locks CS4

Greetings. In Photoshop CS4, my File>Info window is now blank (empty) and modal, i.e., I must close Photoshop via Task Manager (Windows 7).

I appreciate it, Luanne! I'm hoping a full reinstall of CS4 won't be necessary!

CS4 won't open Fuji FinePix S5Pro RAW

I should have all the Adobe updates as I have it set to automatically get updates including the RAW editors. I don't know how to check what is currently installed.
CS4 won't recognize RAW files from the Fuji S5Pro. Other posters have recommended closing Adobe Bridge on similar discussion threads, but how do I see if Bridge is open? It isn't in my task bar or my task manager.
This is a Windows PC, not a Mac. I am running Windows 7.
Thank you for your assistance.

You should be able to open those files, even with the camera raw plugin that shipped with photoshop cs4.
(camera raw 5.7 is the newest camera raw plugin for photoshop cs4)
If in photoshop cs4, you go to Help>About Plug-ins and click on the words Camera Raw, what version does it say?
Is your windows 7 an 32 or 64 bit system?

PP CS4 won't relink offline media

Can anyone help me trouble shoot my Premiere Pro CS4? It would refuse to let me save anything, freeze and make me force quit it over and over, finally it told me to reinstall. So i did but now none of my previous timelines work, the media is all either offline or just not playing when i try to playback. When i try to relink the offline media it tells me the file dimensions are too big. What can i do? This is a big project which needs to be completed urgently and i don't want to have to start over losing weeks of work.
I'm using a macbook pro and an education version of the adobe masters collection.

Hi all, thanks for your help but neither of those solutions are working. I have found an autosave in which most of the media is still linked but not all of them and I am still being told that the file dimensions are too large to link, despite being from tapes i captured using premiere pro. While all clips are in the same place as where i edited them, the ones that appear to still be linked are blank and will not play.

Subject: PP CS4 won't relink offline media
    Re: PP CS4 won't relink offline media
    created by Bill Hunt in Premiere Pro CS4 & Earlier - View the full discussion
Jeff covers two of the biggest reasons that Media is Offline, and why one might not be able to relink to the media. This ARTICLE goes into detail on a few other reasons. The biggest question, and also at least part of the solution, is "why is the media offline?" One of the main causes is that something changed in the Path to the media, which is absolute. Then, when PrPro cannot find that media, it asks "Where is file ____ ?" and the user chooses anything but the Finder to locate that media, then Saves the Project. All media with changed Paths will then show as Offline. However, manually relinking will correct that. In your case, you are failing in that relink operation, so Jeff's suggestions take on even greater importance. Still, by defining WHY the media is showing offline, might be useful in determining how to relink. Good luck, Hunt

CS4 won't capture after updated to 4.2.1

I have had an interesting problem since upgrading to Premiere Pro CS4 v4.2.1. Whenever I try to open the capture window while the camera is attached and turned on, a blank square/rectangle appears on the screen and eventually if I leave it long enough Premiere crashes. If the camera is not attached then the capture window opens up fine but won't recognise the camera when I do connect it and turn it on.
The camera is a Panasonic NV-GS400. Has anyone experienced similar problems?

Whoops! Of course, should have included that relevent information.
Operating System: Windows XP SP3
And the OS does recognise the camera.

When i open firefox, the first window freezes, but if i open a second it works and to leave firefox i have to control/alt/delete???

Windows freezes when ipod is connected but charges fine-HELP!

I've had my 80GB ipod video since October.Its never frozen before or anything like that.2 Days ago,I connected it to the computer and a few seconds later,the computer froze.Ever since,everytime I connect it,Windows freezes.I don't think there is a problem with the USB cable because it carges fine on my plug and also after the computer freezes,it keeps charging but no "Do Not Disconnect" on the screen.Thing is,it says "Do Not Disconnect" before th computer starts and then it stops and charges as soon as the Windows XP logo comes up and then the computer doesn't even start,freezes at the Windows XP screen.Help would be much appreciated.
Thank You
Ian

Usually theres no need for this, cuz when you uninstall iTUnes it does not erase the iTUnes Library, nor any music on the PC.
That said its always a GREAT idea to back up your music regularly. Apple covers this on there site by using iTUnes to burn backups on CD, but it doesn't include backup of the all important iTunes Library file that contains all the playlist rating playcount Ect ect here it is tho http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93033
Long as you have all your music in one folder like "My Music" you can just copy it to an external Harddrive. that will backup all the music AND all the iTUnes librarys and crap since its in the "My Music" folder by default

My dad has a brand new iMac. If he quits an app, this window closes, but the app won't finish shutting down, Force quitting does not work. Once another app is opened, it will not close either. Now none of the apps are responding. Any ideas?

My dad has a brand new iMac. If he quits an app, this window closes, but the app won't finish shutting down, Force quitting does not work. Once another app is opened, it will not close either. Now none of the apps on the dock are responding. I asked him to click on the apple, and drop down to "About this Mac", but that wouldn't open either. Any ideas? If I was at his house, I would call Apple Care in a heartbeat, but am home with my sick daughter,,, Thanks!

For starters, have him open Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, select the volume (the indented listing) and Verify Disk. If it reports any problems, have him try a Safe Boot by holding the Shift key at startup. This boot will take much longer than usual. It's checking and trying to repair the drive directory, if possible. Once in Safe Boot, have him repair Permissions.
For other Disk repair remedies see
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417
Also, have him try a PRAM Reset. At the startup chime, hold down CMD-Option-P-R together, listen for two more chimes, total three, then let go to finish booting.
Also, is he running any AV? If so, have him uninstall it. It might be responsible for this behavior. (There are no viruses for OS X.)
