Does Anyone Else Have PC Crashing With Photoshop?

This is by far my most serious problem. It started with CS5 and still crashes with CS6.
On intensive or involved Photoshopping, my system will frequently and suddenly bluescreen. This happens ONLY when I'm working with Photoshop. I'm not sure whether to blame Adobe or Topaz Labs, as I use Topaz filters extensively. Upgrading my video driver yesterday didn't help.
PC
MSI 990FXA-GD80 Motherboard
AMD Phenom II X6 1100T CPU
8 Gigs DDR3 RAM
Asus nVidia GTX550 Video w. 1Gig RAM
OCZ Solid 3 60 Gig SATA III Solid State Drive
Western Digital 750 Gig SATA III Hard Drive
OCZ 750 Watt 80 Plus Power Supply
Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit
Okay, it has nothing to do with the 64 bit software as CS5 was 32 bit and it would bluescreen occasionally.
There's no telling when or if my system will bluescreen. A week or so ago, I got it to repeat a bluescreen while editing a Topaz generated graphic image. However, I tried playing with that same graphic yesterday and it didn't bluescreen.
My next step is to spend an hour or so editing the heck out of an image and NOT using Topaz filters.
Anyhow, I just wondered if anyone has had similar problems or any comments on using Topaz filters.

Well now I have two replies which pretty much cancel each other out. As I stated above, I spent a lot of time editing the heck out of a photo and not using any help from Topaz filers. I couldn't get my edit to cause a bluescreen, however let me add my edit sure lends a new definition to the word abstraction.
I'm going to somehow go on a Topaz free sabbatical and see what happens. In addition, I've asked Topaz what video cards they use in their development PC's. Good luck getting an answer on that one.
<sigh> It never ends does it?

HT1338 There's not enough contrast in my 2012 MacBook Air display. Does anyone else have a problem with this? Can I fix it?

When I watch streaming shows or movies on my Air the contrast is lousy. If it's a dark scene you can hardly see anything. Does anyone else have this issue? I've got it as bright as it lets me go.

It seems that my pioneer DVD drive ate my disc and no matter what I do, I can't get it out.
What have you done so far? Provide details on what you have done to date in the way of troubleshooting and the results. In doing so, the helpers here will avoid the "been there done that" response scenerio.

how hard is it to take the iMac apart?
If your model iMac is not user repairable, do a Google search for DIY instructions. Two places to start is iFixit and YouTube's tutorials.
What is a good replacement for it?
External CD/DVD burners. Check out OWC & Lacie websites for CD/DVD drives. Make sure you read the system requirements for the drives.
Good luck!

Does anyone else have this problem with the iTunes visualizer?

I rarely use the iTunes visualizer but, when I do, it gives me the option of either using the newer one or the classic one. I like to use the new one but the problem is that I can only go to "visualizer options" if I am using the classic one. In said options I could set it so that the song info (song title, artist, album title and artwork) stays in the bottom left corner for the entire song. The few times I use the visualizer, I do like to have it up for the whole song--I just think it looks cool, I don't know...
Anyway, since I can't get the options for the new visualizer, the song info always fades away after the first five seconds or so of the song.
Anyone else realize this?? And does it annoy anyone else lol?

Well, I did a search on apple.com and found this:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-news/2010/04/the-hidden-itunes-visualizer-con trols.html
"The Visualizer -- graphics that swoop and pulse with the music -- has been part of iTunes' DNA from the beginning. And because its creators wanted to interact with the graphics in real time as well as watch them, Visualizer includes some single keystroke commands that change what you see while it runs. But these commands are hidden by default lest they obstruct the graphics.
Use the Show/Hide Visualizer command in the View menu to turn Visualizer on and off, and use the Visualizer menu to select among the choices. If the choice you're using has hidden commands you can see them for a brief time by typing ? while a song is playing and Visualizer is visible. The keystrokes will work regardless of whether the help menu is showing, so if you memorize them it's possible to add Virtuoso Visualizer Player to your list of accomplishments. (For the Visualizer choice called Jelly, available only in iTunes for Mac, try holding the keys down, especially the number keys, for maximum effect.")
Not that you care. >.<

Does anyone else have an issue with lightning bolt cables prematurely wearing out?

Between me, my wife and my sister in law I have bought 3 iPhone 5's and two of the cables is starting to wear out and the third one is worn out already. Is there a known issue with these cables that causes them to wear out prematurely? We bought two of the phones at launch and one in January. The one we bought in January is the one that wore out first and the launch ones are starting to go bad. We don't use the cables in a way that would cause them to wear faster than usual, for the most part the chargers sit by our night stand waiting to be used at night. My cable is the one that travels the most and is probably in the best condition. Is anyone else having this issue. Is this covered by the warranty?

The cables have either the host iPhone warranty or if purchased separately have a similar 12 months warranty
Take any faulty ones to Apple as long as damage is not user inflicted

HT1947 Does anyone else have my problem with atv3? Plays films in iTunes without any problems but on music every time I use the remote app on my iPhone 3GS it stops playing after around 5 tracks in. Anyone having this problem?

Does anyone share my problem with atv3 I can play films through iTunes without any problems. When I start playing music using the remote app on my iPhone 3GS after around 5 tracks in it just stops playing and seems to lose my connection. Hoping this is human error on my part?

I think this is probably a sign that your network could be better than it is.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

Does anyone else have a problem with printers going offline?

Macbook Pro OS X 10.6.8
I received a Epson Artisan 730 All in One Wireless printer in Dec 2011 and spent literally hours trying to get the computer and printer to recognize each other. After about a week of phone calls between Apple and Epson (each saying it wasn't their electronic with the problem) the issue was finally solved.
In June 2012, the printer suddenly stopped working and once again, hours were spent on the phone with Apple and Epson techs, to no avail. I found an article online about Reset Printing System and I was able to get it up and running again.
August 1, 2012, the printer once again stopped working, saying it was offline. Restarted computer & printer, checked for updates on Apple & Epson, reset printing system again and now the printer does not show when I click the "+" to add a printer. In fact, nothing shows in the list. I've pretty much given up for the day, but wrote a letter to Epson and am posting here. What gives? Does anyone know why the printer & computer stop communicating? And why is the problem repeating itself?

HT202157 Does anyone else have a problem with the latest Apple TV update? My Apple TV no longer can load movies from my iTunes library, including ones I've already watched or were watching. Can I roll back this update, and if so, how?

After updating my Apple TV, it will no longer load movies from my iTunes library. Music works, but no movies. I've turned this puppy every which way but loose, but no joy. Is there a way to roll back an update?

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

Does anyone else have a problem with PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-K06?

It seems that my pioneer DVD drive ate my disc and no matter what I do, I can't get it out. I only had this mac for about 6 years. Is there any way of getting the disc out of the drive. If not, how hard is it to take the iMac apart? Help from anyone. What is a good replacement for it?

Does anyone else have display issues with Intel X3100 graphics and OS X Lion?

I took the screenshot below to demonstrate one issue I have had with graphics since upgrading to OS X Lion. I use a Late 2007 MacBook with 2.0GHz Core 2 Duo and the Intel X3100 graphics chipset. I have 4GB RAM. Had to reboot to get this to correct itself. The problem is the menubar (obvious) and the desktop image is missing, replaced by the grey.
I have an external monitor connected (second image) and everything displays properly there.
Some other issues I've noticed are using Mission Control sometimes yields unpredictable results, graphically speaking, and the fullscreen apps don't always allow me to see the menubar. These all seem graphically related. Is this a hardware or software problem? Any solutions?

Here is another display issue with my machine...perhaps software rather than hardware? The icon for the rtf file "Matt Passages" is missing entirely. There is a faint rectangle present instead. The same file has an icon in the first image posted above. No change to the file since then. And two other RTFs have the icon! Odd things with Lion.

HT5295 Does anyone else have an issue with the way iTunes fails to properly sync a podcast downloaded to an iPhone or iPad when connected to iTunes later?

When I download a podcast directly to my iPhone or iPad and listen to it I expect it to reflect that status when I come home. Instead the podcast downloads again in iTunes and then wonderful joy it changes the status to unplayed and I wind up having to figure out what I've listened to and what I haven't (I listen to a lot of 'em).

I'm not having issues. What have you done to troubleshoot?

You might try uninstalling Quicktime and reinstalling the latest version and ensure you hvave the latest version of iTunes.

Does anyone else have an issue with the iPad loosing wifi connectivity?

My 6 month old 64 gig iPad keeps loosing WiFi connectivity. This is a problem since I need it for work to test live video streams. I keep having to back out and reconnect from the systems panel. This happens when I shift posting even an inch while sitting down or moving from room to room at home. I have strong connectivity both at home and at work. There isn't an issue on any of my other devices and a co worker of mine has the same exact iPad, and he is having the exact same problem. Is there a fix?

Go to Settings>General>Reset then select "Reset Network Settings". the device will shut down and reboot. while that is rebooting, unplug the router, count to 10 plug it back in. wait for the network to appear in wifi accounts, and you're good as gold.
but make sure you know your wifi password or you wont be able to access it.

Does anyone else have this problem with iCal?

I know it is a little thing but when I open iCal, number (date) is appearing on red part of icon... it started to happen about few weeks ago...
I've captured a screen shot of this.
http://www.imagehigh.com/view.php?image_id=380863
I tried to take this icon off the dock then put it back. But it still happens.

I have the same problem. It only appeared after one of the Tiger patches (sorry, don't know which one). The little number in the upper right of the icon appeared when I added some ToDo items. The number was the day of the month when it was due (actually it was the first one due). I checked off the task when done, but the number remains. When I exit iCal, the icon reverts to the old 17 one. Starting iCal changes the icon (to have today's date) AND carefully replaces the extra number. It's a little thing, but it grows VERY old very quickly. I tried disabling the font and it made no difference.
