Flash CS6 opens then freezes when opening old or new file.

I have the Adobe production premium and all other software works except flash. This is driving me crazy because It was working fine about 3 months ago, then all of a sudden it stopped working. It loads up just fine and it gives me the options screen. But when I open a new file or an old one it freezes with no error message. Windows just gives a "This program is not responding and needs to close." I have tried everything to get it to work, from uninstalling/reinstalling to the fontinfo.txt trick from the FAQ. I also updated it as well.
I am using a Windows 7 64 bit HP PC.
If anybody can help please let me know, and if you have any other questions please ask. Thanks
Chris

Wow, I knew I should've held out on making a post. I ended up getting it working.
Turns out I didn't do the SING component / datastore correctly. Instead of going into the SING folder on the startup disk I was going into the SING folder under the user (me). I didn't catch that at first but going back and re-reading everything I caught it.
I feel good

Photoshop CS6 cannot open or create new file. This happened after running CCleaner

Photoshop CS6 cannot open or create new file. This happened after running CCleaner

Hi, I've been asked to join this discussion. CCleaner is a nice tool, but if you used the Registry Cleaner that came with it, it might have done something to Photoshop's registry entries. There is that danger in using them.
One thing CCleaner does is leave a backup of the registry, or you can use Windows System Restore to go to that point before you ran the Cleaner. Let's go with System Restore. Review the instructions.
System Restore - Microsoft Windows
If you suspect a virus, I'd like to direct you here http://bleepingcomputer.com/
That would be the "Am I infected?" forum.
They have the tools, you run them, and copy and paste the logs that are generated. They are very good at this, but it is super important you follow directions and don't leave until the process is completed.

ITunes freezes when I add a new mp4 video

My iTunes has started to freeze when I add a new MP4 video file to play through Apple TV 3.
This has only started today and is very annoying. All the latest updates are installed and I use an iMac 27" 2.7 Ghz core i5, 4gb ram and OS X 10.7.5, Lion
Any ideas

I have the same problem, I upgraded to the latest version but still the same problem. Please help.
By the way how do I downgrade to V.6?

HT1347 When I add a folder to the library, does that mean that 'later' when I drop a new file into that folder (already added) it will automatically end up in iTunes? (or do I have to add file/folder to library every time I have a new file??) I'm using XP

When I add a folder to the library, does that mean that 'later' when I drop a new file into that folder (already added) it will automatically end up in iTunes? (or do I have to add file/folder to library every time I have a new file??) I'm using XP...

iTunes does not actively scan the media folders. If you manually add content to a folder, then you must add that content to iTunes manually via the File > Add File/Folder feature.
The only folder that gets scanned is the "Automatically add to iTunes" folder.

When I create a new file with 500px wide by 500px long it shows up on my screen as a rectangle.

When I create a new file with 500px wide by 500px long it shows up on my screen as a rectangle. When I go to Image > Image Size it still shows the image as 500 x 500 yet it is clearly not a square. This also occurs if I try to create a circle, selecting the ellipse tool a checking the box for it to make a perfect circle it shows up as an oval.
I have Photoshop CS6 on a macbook.
Any help would be appreciated, I consider myself decently knowledgeable in Photoshop and I've looked through the settings, but I can't seem to figure out the issue, it's been happening for a while now, it's not a one-time fluke thing.
Thank you.

*Apple's stated System Requirements:*
Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (500MHz or faster) processor
512MB of RAM; 1GB recommended
Approximately 1.2GB of available disk space
32MB of video memory
Mac OS X v10.4.11 or Mac OS X 10.5.6 or later

The NVIDIA GeForce4 MX has a stated max 64mb of memory, but I could not see whether that meant it actually had that quantity. I would assume though that it had a minimum of 32mb.
Have you checked in *About This Mac* what the actual memory is?
Maybe Apple was optimistic in its minimum requirements.

Fireworks CS6 opens with many many files, and then stops. time after time. What to do now?

Suddenly my Fireworks CS 6 will not open, that is, it opens and then starts to open many many .png files I worked on before (really I think it opens more then 40 + very fast and then the program quites with an error.
Before I never had problems with this software and I need it because of a deadline (of course)

Flash CS6 continues to freeze on launch, even with Update or fontinfo.txt fix.

Flash CS6 freezes as soon as it gets to the work screen, whether I open it via a file or by the program itself. This is after I updated Flash CS6 through the Update 2... twice!
I also emptied out fontinfo.txt, set it to read-only... and when that didn't work, I just deleted the file. Nothing's changed. The only way to get Flash to work a 2nd time is to restart my computer again.
What am I doing wrong? I would appreciate any help.

Well, it's been a while since my last report, mostly because I haven't been using the program as much... however, today I needed to use it and well... it happened. And it happened on a blank document too. I made sure that all my other applications were closed at this time, and when I rebooted it, it continues to freeze. Here is what I saw on the task manager. Seems to be pretty similar to last time:
I use Flash to do Timeline animation and sometimes vector art. The program has crashed before on a reset of preferences. You also noted that there is a Flash.exe instead of a Flash 32.exe, I don't see it in the task manager at all... I only see the Flash 32 that I've been posting.
Perhaps I may be missing something, but the reasons for crashing that you listed do not seem to be the reasons why I am crashing and freezing. While I can understand loading up a bloated file and having it crash the program, I have never seen this program until CS6 freeze once, and then from then on out, until I restart the computer, it will freeze time and time again. It's bewildering as to why that is happening.
The Application doesn't seem to be sucking in a ton of memory. The application will crash out-of-the-blue. Sometimes when I simply click into the program on a blank doc (like this last crash), it will freeze up. And if the program isn't even able to work with a blank doc, I don't think the content of ANY file is the problem.
I'm really at a loss. I might have to downgrade back to CS3. This is one of my most used programs, and if it's impossible to have it run smoothly without me having to restart my computer every few hours, I'm not really sure what to do.

Can't open old appleworks/clarisworks files

I have just purchased the new intel iMac and cannot open my old clarisworks/appleworks 5 files properly. I imported them from my old 333 MHz/OS 9.2.2 iMac using a jump drive. Is my best option to try MacLink? I will be purchasing MS Word also but have found that some of the old files will not format properly when I try to open them in the trial version of Word which came with the new computer. The text files are fine when I open them in Word but anything like tables, charts is a formatted mess. I did use MacLink on my old iMac and found it worked well but it is a bit more expensive now than when I bought it before ($20) .

Thank you Peggy and Barry. I never realized that the jump drives were formatted to Windows or Mac but I am really new at some of these advances in file transfer as well as just about everything else in Apple Computer land. However, regarding the jump drive which I used to transfer the old files: it is a Lexar Jump Drive 2 GB, USB 2.0 Flash Drive. The installation notes indicate that it is for "Windows 2000/Me/XP and Mac OS 9.0 or Higher. No driver installation required. Plug the JumpDrive into the USB port on your computer and it's ready for use." That would indicate to me that this is probably not the problem. As I indicated before, the old files which are straight text which were created in AW 5 or perhaps even earlier versions and/or Clarisworks open perfectly, properly formatted, etc. when I drag them onto the trial version of Microsoft Word located on the dock of my new computer. My problem is with charts created in the word processor and spreadsheets which display as garbage when I drag them onto MS Word. Regarding the ethernet option, I would think that I still would have the same problem since I have no appropriate program on my new computer to open those old files - the trial version of MS Word isn't doing it for all the files. There are no firewire ports on my old iMac so that is not an option. I have come to the conclusion that Peggy's suggestion of purchasing AW 6.2.4 at the very reasonable price of $24.99 from Hardcore Mac sounds like the most promising option since I would then have an application on my new computer which should open the old files assuming that it does recognize the old AW created files (I believe that some of them were created in versions earlier than AW 5). I am assuming that the intel processor in my new computer isn't going to be a problem with AW 6.2.4. So I'm ready to purchase this program. Does this sound like the most reasonable course of action to follow? Thanks again for your help.

PLEASE make PS CS6 open RED R3D movie files through Camera Raw 7 as 16 bit/channel files

Hi All,
Why does CS6 Photoshop only open Red R3D movies files as 8 bits per channel ???
This is VERY disappointing , R3D movies should be opened through Camera Raw 7 as 16 bits per channel
Hey Adobe please, Please, PLEASE make this very desirable change
Many thanks
Steve

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the prompt reply. I understand what you are suggesting however in CS6 PS when I open a Red R3D file (on my windows machine)
photoshop opens the file as 8 bit/ch WITHOUT going through ACR, not offering the option of opening it as a 16 bit file in ACR.
I presume PS "thinks" the R3D file is just 8 bit and doesn't "know" to start up Camera Raw 7 to allow opening it as a 16 bit file
No easy fix I'm guessin' ?
Many thanks
All the best
Steve

Need PCD filter or converter to open old photo disc files

Is there a filter or file converter to open old files from photo CD's
Some files are PCD format and some files are PCT/Quickdraw
The PCD files can be converted with Apple Store's Best Image Converter XV but the resolutions seem low.
The QuickDraw (Some kind of Pict?) image can be opened in Preview but only exported as a pdf which in turn needs another conversion to jpg or tif.
Photoshop seems to have dropped support for both these formats.
Unfortunately I have a few hundred of these files.

Which version of mac os x are you using?
Which version of photoshop do you have?
The mac version of Photoshop cc 2014 stills opens a pict file i transferred over from mac os 9

If you don't have the original kodak photo cd, then you could use
pcdmagic

or
Graphic Converter 9, which should handle both pcd and pict

Editing swfobject.js code so hyperlinks inside the flash widget open in a new window

0down votefavorite
I have a flash calendar widget (code shown directly below) and I do not have access to anything other than the compiled .swf file (no access to .fla).
The widget contains some hyperlinks to other websites, these links are dynamic and changes based on a number of things.
There is also a corresponding swfobject.js file that is used to add functionality to the flash widget. The swfobject.js code is shown further down this post.
Currently, the way the code is now, when I click any of the hyperlinks that are available to me in the widget, the destination website that hyperlink takes me to opens in THE SAME PAGE as the flash widget which is a big problem.
I need to edit the code below so that any hyperlinks that are clicked inside of the flash widget open in a brand new browser window and do not take the user away from the original widget other than opening a new page with new content.
Because the hyperlinks that are available are always changing, the swfobject code below uses some functions and parameters.
I am hoping you can show me exactly what code I must insert, and exactly where I must insert it, in order to alter the behavior that happens so that when a user clicks one of the hyperlinks inside the flash widget, so that the content at the other end of the hyperlink opens in a new window, instead of opening in the same window.
See code below.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide

In that case, I will have no choice but to decompile the .swf to get the .fla because the original .fla is un-obtainable. Unless there is a way to edit the contents of the .swf file without decompiling it.
I can see the code inside via various decompile tools and it seems that I would need to add the equivalent of <src target=_blank> to some of the lines I have shown below.
obj_xml.load(appurl + "loadconfig.aspx?calendarid=" + calendarid); -- need to edit this so it opens in a new window using something similar to target = _blank
dest_page = appurl + "default.aspx"; -- need to edit this so it opens in a new window using something similar to target = _blank
I know a lot of decompile tools can get you the code and the .fla but once you edit and re-compile and attempt to replace the original with the new & updated file, the decompiler did not necessarily generate the properly formatted flash pro project file, so compiling it back into an operational .swf often ends in failure.
Do you know or can you recommend a tool that has a very good track record of re-compiling the decompiled modified.fla into a workable and usable .swf?

New MS Word won't open old MS Word files

We've got a new MacBook Pro, running Lion, with MS Word 2011 for Mac. We've just copied over our old MS Word (Mac) files, with the .doc file ending. I think the files were created in MS Word 2004, some files even ealier than this. The new MS Word 2011 (which we've updated) will open the old files. We have to open the file in Word using "recover text from any file" --- but they loose all their formatting.
How can we open the files and not loose the formatting?
Thank you
Mark

That's interesting. How do you do it?
Are you using Lion? Do you have to open the files within Word (you can't double click on them)? And do you have to open the files within Word by using "recover text from any file" option? I presume your old files have .doc ending, or have you changed this?
Thanks for any guidance
Yes using Lion on Mac and both Win 7 Pro and XP Pro on PC hardware. On PCs I have Office 2000 installed, yes even in Win 7 (and Win 8 Preview, Office 2000 installed without a problem). On Mac I have Office 2011 Mac, and all updates.
As far as the files they are all in a folder called My Documents on both systems. I change/edit or create files on either system then I use a Sync program to sync the My Docs folder between all PCs and Mac. If I'n sitting at one of the PCs and need to open any doc I just open it, word opens and loads the file. Same for if I'm sitting at the Mac. I have Word files that were created on Word 95 (or whatever that was called) Word 98 and now 2000 and Mac 2011.
Never had any problems. Even if by accident I save a file in the new DOCX format on the Mac. I have the Document converter program installed on the PCs that only have Office 2000 installed.
Sorry I don't have any real tips for you as mine Just Works, both Windows and Mac.
