Every time I add a light to a scene in After Effects the program freezes

What is your After Effects version number? You said you're running "CS6", so the version number should start with 11. The latest version of CS6 is 11.0.4 - do you have that? (The latest version of AE is 13.2.0.49, in case anyone was wondering).
Do you have your comp set to standard renderer or ray-traced?
What are your computer specs?
Also, what Rick and Bogiesan asked.

Every time I click on photoshop edit I get a message that the program has crashed. I' ve been using photoshop elements for two years and nothing on my computer has changed. My software was downloaded and I have no disk.

WHat can I do to make the program work as it has before?

Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
Do they launch OK while in Safe Mode?

Can you check the health of your iPod Hardisk, by doing the iPod Disk Diagnostics as posted earlier by tt2, it wont fix your problem, but helps in troubleshooting.
Have a nice day!

Every time I add a photo to a slideshow it messes up my entire slideshow. It puts the pics in a completely different order. What can I do to stop this?

When using iphoto, every time I add a photo to a slideshow, it rearranges all the photos in the slideshow. Then I have to go back and put them back in the order that I wanted. What can I do so it doesn't do this?

Are you using a particular theme? In the Classic theme when I add a new photo to the mix it ends up at the end of the slideshow or at the farthest right in the thumbnail tray.

I have to WIPE iPod every time I add music to iTunes!

Hi. I seem to have everyone's problem at once.
I've just upgraded to an 80Gb Video iPod after filling up my old 20Gb click-wheel model, which still works as wonderfully as the day I bought it over 4 years ago. My new model is, however, driving me crazy! On first plugging it in, I got the Unknown error -48 that others have described, and was told that I couldn't sync. I updated, I restored, I synced again. Fine - the music was there even though iTunes was still telling me that I had the -48 error. However, every time I add a CD to my iTunes collection and then plug in my iPod, I find that the music is not added. What's more, I'm told that my iPod is synced with another iTunes library and that if I want to sync with this one it will erase all data and start over - this takes several hours and is totally unacceptable.
I also get the flashing 'do not disconnect' sign permanently whenever connected, even if there's nothing being transferred.
Weirdly, if I click on the iPod in my 'Devices' list in iTunes, I find all the menu options changed and grayed out. If I try and select, say, 'sync music' or 'sync movies' I get a message asking me if I really want to do that, since "all existing content on the iPod will be removed and replaced with the contents of your iTunes Library".
I'm a humble Apple fan who's always used Apple and is used to intuitive devices. This experience is demoralising and I'm regretting my expensive and frustrating purchase even after 1 week. Please can someone help? Do I have to send this device back to Apple?

At the moment there seems to be no permanent fix for error -48. The Apple fix of erasing the iPod with Disk Utility and restoring with iTunes that is mentioned in various posts appears to work for some and not others. This is the workaround I'm currently using until a reliable fix comes along. Give it a try and it may help with the secondary problems you are also experiencing.
Set up iTunes "not" to open when you connect the iPod.
Enable Disk Use on the iPod
Eject the iPod and shut down iTunes
Reconnect the iPod and open Disk Utility
Click on your iPod in the Utility pane and choose Repair Disk which will find and fix a number of errors.
Close Disk Utility and open iTunes and your iPod should connect and update as usual.
Keep the settings above and each time you connect the iPod to update it run Disk Utility repair as above before opening iTunes. It's far from being a acceptable answer but until a permanent one comes along I've found that it works for me.

HT201250 Every time I add/delete music to itunes, does time machine backup my entire library? If so can I limit backup just to added music?

Usimg time machine-every time I add/delete music in itunes library does time machine backup entire file? If so,an I set it up to just backup added music?

It shouldn't be backing up the whole thing again, just the changes.

Stop email every time someone adds event to shared calendar?

I have searched high and low for a solution to this, but can't find it anywhere. I share an iCal calendar with someone via iCloud. We both have read/write priveleges, but he created the calendar. In the "Get Info" for this calendar, I have Ignore Alerts checked. But every time he adds or modifies a calendar event, I get an email. How can I stop the emails? For some reason, the calendars I share with him don't generate emails to his inbox - obviously there's a setting that's different somewhere, but we can't figure out what it is. Can anyone help?

as i wrote there Re: How do you stop receiving notifications about updated calendar events?:
to NOT get email notification about updated events from a shared calendar you subscribed to you have to uncheck "events affect availability" in that calendars "info" (mac os X.7 and X.8: iCal —> calendars dropdown —> right click on the subscribed calendar —> choose "get info" from the context-menu —> uncheck "events affect availability")

Why does my husband get e-mails every time I add an event to our shared calendar

My husband and I share a calendar through the cloud. Every time I add an event to our shared calendar, in addition to the event showing up on his calendar on his ipad or iphone, he gets an e-mail saying I've added an event. How do I turn off the e-mail notices?

as far as i understand iCal it is on the "receivers/subscribers" side to deal with email-updates (and not on the "senders/changers" side):

Semi - Smart Albums - all I want is to update iPhoto every time I add a new

after reading the iPhoto Help files descriptions of Standard and Smart - Im after Semi - Smart.
Standard: You can also create an album by dragging a folder of photos from the Finder into an empty part of iPhoto's Source list. iPhoto creates an album with the folder's name and imports all photos contained in the folder.
- but what iPhoto 6 wont do is automatically update itself every time I add a new pic into the source folder.
Smart Folder: "You can make a Smart Album that contains only certain types of photos, photos with high ratings, or photos that match other criteria, including EXIF information, such as a specific shutter speed or camera model....
iPhoto automatically modifies a Smart Album when any photo that matches the album's settings is added to or removed from your library."
but what iPhoto 6 wont do is to simply capture the folder name as Ive named it in my source folder structure.
So Im after:
a. drag a folder ( for example, cars, gemstones, Klimit art) into the iPhoto source pane, it becomes a semi-smart folder in that it watches every new change I make to the source files on my computer. I add a file, iPhoto 6 adds it. I delete one, it deletes it. I mod it - you get the game here.
Do I need to upgrade iPhoto to handle this rudimentary task ? Seems like this action would be built in - am I missing something here ?
TIA

will try that out, thanks for the tip.
Who would want to have to use Automator or Applescript to make such a rudimentary function enabled within iPhoto ? I would guess 95% of Mac users never use those things. The whole point of Mac is to keep your life from having to descend into mundane technical details, thus freeing one for more time with life's higher level tasks. This should be basic from-day-one type behavior in any photo app.
Will chime back in on how difficult it get iPhoto to auto-update itself with every new pic I add/subtract to these watched folders.

Have to render every time I add text

Hello,
I'm subtitling a large project using FCP7 and every time I add text I have to render it the text.
This is slowing down my workflow. How can I eliminate the rendering?

What codec does your source footage use?
The source footage was VOB that was exported to Quicktime using ProRes 422 LT
What codec is used in your Sequence setting?
In sequence settings the compressor is set also to Apple ProRes 422 LT
What are the RT settings?
Render Control Settings: Filters & Flame Blending Selected. Frame Rate and Resolution 100% Coded same as Sequence Codec. Quality Normal. Always use best quality is deselected.
What are you using to create the text?
Just the FCP Text Generator.
If you are using external titling software, what color space and format are the files saved in?
Nope.
Where is the source footage located on your computer?
On an external drive, and the project file is on my internal hard drive.
What Mac model are you using, which version of Mac OS X, what CPU and how much RAM?
iMac from 2006, 10.5.8 2GHz Intel Core Duo 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

Every time I add a page to my documents, my buttons reset. How can I prevent this from happening?

I am using InDesign CS5. I have a very large document (698 pages) that has several buttons saved on each page.
I used the automated Table of Contents feature to create all of the destinations. Using the buttons dialog box, I select the specific page the document needs to go to.
I need to add pages to this document, but every time I add a page, all of the bookmarks default to the very first link in the list. How can I get prevent this from happening?
If I can't stop this from happening because I used the TOC feature to create the destinations, how can I quickly and easily move forward to add pages to the document. These pages will be inserted throughout the document.
Thank you.

Put on shoe.
Take one shoe-lace in each hand.
Lay them across each other.
Then place one of them under the first.
You now have the first fasting.
To make the loops, again take each shoe-lace in each hand.
Fold one of them double into a loop and hold the loop with the other hand.
Take the second shoe-lace and fold it around the loop and insert the second loop in the space you just created under the first loop.
Fasten the loops by dragging them in opposite directions.
How did I do? Clear enough? (English is not my first language by the way).

Safari crashes EVERY time I add a bookmark. What gives?

I just installed Safari on my Win XP machine. It's gorgeous and fast, but every time I add a bookmark it crashes--hard. It's faster than Firefox, I think.
Dell Dimension Windows XP

Hi Steve,
I do not have a bookmarks file in the specified location. The other .plist files are there, but not that one. My Safari - too - crashes when I
* right click on the bookmarks bar to create a folder
* try the bookmarks menu to manage bookmarks
When I drag and drop a page on the bar, nothing happens. No bookmark appears (but Safari does not crash).
Please help
Many thanks, Klaus
