Flas8 crashes on Mac when publishing

The title says it all. On my Mac in Flash 8 my programs is
crashing whenever I try and publish a .fla file. This only happens
in 8, and not in MX. Is this a known bug with Flash 8????

Photoshop CS5 crashing my Mac when resizing large images

I don't have much to explain this further but Photoshop CS5 is crashing my Mac when I resize large images. Small images are fine but large 300dpi images crashes it without warning. Don't know what to do. The only other similar thing is After Effects CS5 is crashing my Mac when I trim a clip. It completely turns off my Mac when I trim a clip.
I have 8gigs of Ram and am running 27" iMac Core i5
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Hal

Hi Wendy
Thank you for your insights. We are having the same problems here.
It's been a headache as we bought two 27" iMacs in March 2011; and we've had even BOTH iMacs exchanged.
After exchanging, same thing happened. We then got all 16GB of RAM on each iMac replaced.
But we noticed that the auto-shutdown problem happens with files on 300dpi. We are contemplating on changing them to 299dpi though haha!
Unfortunately, here in Singapore, we don't have a physical Apple store. We only have Premium Resellers.
And the other unfortunate thing is, when RAMs are upgraded these Premium Resellers sell 3rd party RAMs.
I supposed we'll have to deal with this for now until we have enough funds to replace ALL 32 RAMs to original Apple RAMs (which will cost abt another USD1600!!) ..
Hope this forum helps others as much as it finally helped me understand the issue we're having.

Are you running these two program together?
I would think so.OK you are probably running them both as 64 bit that is great that they run 64 bit and can use more RAM and even better they actually do use more RAM.
So the solution is probably more RAM, don't run them to together or lower the expectations of Photoshop and AE.
That way they won't try to use all the RAM to do this work. It will probably do the wrk pretty fast but not as fast if you had more RAM maybe.
Also AE and PS on an iMac, what about your scratch disk. Is it a very fast external drive and how is it connected?
If you don't have a fast internal drive say with at least a 32MB buffer running at 7200rpm then there you go a real contributing ffactor.
To be honest you need both more RAM and a fast start up disk and a fast external scratch.
The new 2TB drives by Seagate run at 7200 rpm and have 64 MB cache which s as important as the rotation. You can possibly make a Raptor an external scratch as well at 300 GB they are probably not arge enough s a start up.
Those are my thoughts.
16 GB of RAM a larger faster internal drive lower the performance and memory setting as well.

Adobe Reader 7.1 crashes on Mac when selecting "Read Out Loud"

I installed a Cepstral voice (5.1) on my Mac OSX 10.3.9 as the default voice to use with Adobe Reader 7.1. Now, when I select "Read Out Loud" from the View menu to activate the text-to-speech, Adobe Reader crashes. How can I fix this? Thanks!

Remove the voice.

LR 1.1 Crashes on Mac when opening

Not off to a good start with LR.
it was working fine last night - not crashing. Loaded about 4 folders into the LR folder.
Came down this AM & I turned on LR & got the error message about a corrupted catalogname.Ircat file. Clicked on the TEc notes, follwoed (I think), restarted LR, and it began to import a folder. But half way through, I got that same corrupt file message again.
Seems pretty unusable now. I am caught in a loop of fixing, and then it just corrupts immediately again.
ANOTHER problem I had - while it was working.
When I would work on a photo in LR, then Edit in PS2 & save, when I went back to LR I could not see the picture I had edited in CS2. Instead, in the library, there was a blank thumbnail. If I moved my cursor over it I could then see it, but could not do anything with it. As soon as cursor moved away, the thumbnail became blank (grey) again.

ADE 4 Crashes on Mac When Opening a Borrowed Library Book

I borrowed "Game of Thrones" from my public library, in eBook format of course, and it crashes ADE 4.x on my Mac 10.10.2. I downgraded ADE to 2.01 and the book open fine. How do I send a bug report to Adobe on this? I can repeat the bug every time.

Crashing on Mac When Trying to Import?

I just installed the CS5 master collection on my Macbook today, and I have been having a weird problem with After Effects. Whenever I go to import a video (File -> Import), the program will either freeze or crash. The weird thing is, it's about half and half. Half the time the program will crash and give this message: http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z60/Lukargo/Picture2.png and the other half the program will just freeze and I need to force quit to get out of it.
I tried updating and re-installing the application, but it was to no avail. Any idea what could be going on here?
Thanks a bunch, guys.
EDIT: It seems I can narrow the problem down at least a little further. The error only happens if I click Music, Pictures, or Movies in the left pane when looking for a file to import. If I have a file on the desktop, for example, it will allow me to get there and import it. I was only able to figure this out because Import Multiple Files defaults to a folder that is, thankfully, not in the music, pictures, or movies view.

There's a known bug in the Finder that causes crashes in some applications when the Finder is in certain view modes. This might be related.
I don't recall whether we made progress on working around that bug in the 10.0.1 update or not, but you should install the update anyway.
If you don't mind, please submit a bug report and include a screenshot that shows the Finder. If you want to submit a bug report with an attachment, you can send it to aebugs -a-t adobe -d-o-t com. Bug reports without attachments can go through here.

Time Machine crashes mac when backing up

Hello,
I purchased a time capsule with my macbook. Setting up time machine was a doddle, typical of all apple products. Lately however time machine has crashed the mac when backing up. I can sometimes keep operating in one program I have already running, but I cannot do anything else. Then I get the colour wheel spinning and this continues until I reboot the computer by holding the power key down.
I'm running the latest version of the OS and I'm fully up to date with revisions.
Time Capsule is just sitting there, accessible and operating. The problem seems to be with time machine.

Hey,
i've got exactly the same issue.
I reseted the TC few times now. Last time i got it working to backup 110GB of 120GB...and then something broke and i had to restart/reset the TC AND my MB. Trying to connect to the TM will bring up a connection progression bar with the colored curser "ball" and nothing more happens.
I'm now going to reset, erase and reconfigure the TC the last time. If its not working then i will send it back. Slightly pixxed.

AIR app crashes in Mac

My AIR app often crashes unexpectedly on Mac. I read from the AIR 1.5.3 release note that:
AIR applications crash on Mac when older resource files are present in Flex Builder 3
Currently there is an issue that may cause your AIR application to crash on the Mac if you do not remove three older resource files that are still included in Flex Builder. To remove these files:
1. In the Mac Finder, locate your "Adobe Flex Builder 3" applications folder and navigate to "/sdks/3.2.0/runtimes/air/mac/Adobe AIR.framework/Versions/1.0/Resources".
2. Remove the following files: MainMenu.nib, AuthDialog.nib, and FlashPromptDialog.nib.
But my app is developed under Windows. Is there any other causes of such crashes?

I think one cause of such crash in Mac is PDF. When I hope PDFs, sometimes it crashes. It's still not easy to duplicate the crash when you actually want to duplicate but one possible way is:
1. launch the app
2. search something like "fmri plos biol"
3. a list of papers will be found, most of them w/ PDF icon
4. select a paper, also select the "web/pdf" tab right to "summary"
5. select other papers, pdf will load for each paper
6. keep changing paper selection, then sometimes the app will crash
7. if not crash, then leave the app on for a while (say 1hr), then go back to the app, change paper selection.
I can't guarantee these operations will lead to a crash for sure. But it's more likely than others.
Thanks.

Incorrect format when published to .mac but ok published to folder

Problems started after updating iWeb to 1.1.1.
Problems are 1) incorrect visited and unvisited links and 2) incorrect placement.
Here is the link to the site published to .mac
http://web.mac.com/amalin/iWeb/Site/Welcome.html
I've placed a screen shot as it (correctly) appears when published to a folder.
Here is the link to the screen shot

You can see the differences in the "Newsletters" section of the page as well as other areas.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Al,
I can't seem to reproduce the bold/highlighted link thing over here on my end. I have loaded your page on my Safari as well as on a PC using IE and FireFox. All looks okay.
Perhaps try emptying your browser cache and reload the page. Maybe this will clear some cobwebs and let you see the page properly. Good luck!

Poor image quality when publishing to .mac

This is very frustrating.
I buy a high resolution, high quality, royalty-free image. I resize it and crop it in my image editing program and save it as a maximum size .jpg.
I preview the image in Apple preview, and also drag the image into my web browser and it looks crisp and sharp.
I put the image on my iWeb page and publish to .mac. I check my site and the image looks horrible! It looks as though it got compressed again on the lowest setting.
Something very weird is happening to some people. I've read other discussion on this but they are all unresolved.
I'm a graphic designer and I've used dreamweaver and published to other servers. I know about image quality and optimization. I'm doing the same steps and procedures I've always done to optimize images and I've never had this problem except when I publish to .mac.
There is a very weird and serious issue going on and I hope someone can resolve this or has an answer.
Why would an image look crisp and sharp when I view it in my image editing program or in Apple preview, but when publish to .mac it gets re-compressed?
This may sound silly but do you think Apple is doing this randomly and automatically to users to save server space on .mac? Maybe they think people wont notice or care?
I am very upset and frustrated and I can't think of any other reason why this is happening.
Any advice is helpful. Thanks!

James,
Thank you very much for your help.
Here is what I did. I used Apple grab and took a screen shot of my iWeb page where the low res graphic was in position.
I used this as a "template" for cropping my original image in my image editing program to the exact size I needed.
I cropped my original image to the size of my "grab" template, deleted the template layer and saved the sharp image as a maximum file size .jpg and placed it into my iWeb page, with "use original size". It fit perfectly in my layout and looked sharp and crisp.
Now, I published my site and checked the image.
You were correct! The image came out crisp and sharp, no more quality loss.
To test your theory, I went back to iWeb and placed an iWeb mask around the same image and re-published it.
Sure enough! The same image that was once sharp had terrible image loss.
So I guess you're right, adding any effects to an image creates the image loss.
Well, this is a terrible shame because I really like some of the border effects. For example, in a photo gallery, you can use an effect such as a slight page curl with drop shadow that appears only for the thumbnail image but the when you click on the image full size, there is no page curl, just the pure image.
If I create this slight page curl effect and drop shadow in my image editing program, then both my thumbnail and full size image will have this effect.
Not only that, but in order to get the thumbnail image to lay over my background color, I would have to re-create the page curl effect and place it on a border of the same background color as my page layout. When someone clicks on my thumbnail they will now get the full size image with the page curl effect and a slight border of the page color.
Also creating this effect in my image editing program will make it more time consuming when I want to change layout styles, because when I create the page curl / drop shadow in my image editing program, I have to change the background color around each image to match the new background color I'm using for my page. Doing this for 20 images every time I want to change my design is allot of work.
If this is what I have to do, then I have no choice. But at least I would like my thumbnail to have the effect but NOT my full size image.
How do I do this so only my iWeb thumbnail image has this effect without iWeb forcing it to a PNG and loosing quality?
Thanks I appreciate you help!

Does iWeb blogging (comments, etc.) only work when published to .Mac?

The subject says it all, but I was wondering how well the blog features of iWeb work when publishing to a non-.Mac host.
Right now I use WordPress for my blog. Is iWeb's blog feature a reasonable alternative?
doug

The iWeb features which are .Mac only are: Direct one-step uploading, Password protection, Hit counter, Slideshow with viewing controls, and Blog Comments/Searching.
