FrameMaker freezes when selecting text on Windows Vista

FrameMaker freezes on Windows Vista (forcing me to kill the process). The problem occurs both on FrameMaker 7.1 and FrameMaker 8. It seems to occur when I'm selecting text though I can't seem to create a scenario that reliably duplicates the problem. I'm running on a Fujitsu lifebook with 4 GB of memory.
I saw an earlier post in the archive but there didn't seem to be a resolution. Has anyone been able to solve this problem?
Thanks,
Eric

Eric, did you ever find a fix for this? The same thing happens to me running FM v8 on Windows 7. Did installing all updates solve your problem?
Thanks,

InDesign CC crashes when selecting text

Hello folks!
I have a serious issue here on my Windows 7 64bit notebook:
InDesign CC (and also CS6 before) keep crashing when selecting text.
I was still on CS6 when this failure appeared first. The strange thing is, it happens not always. When InDesign is opened new it will not crash instantly (most times). After some selecting random text a few times InDesign will crash with the well known "InDesign doesn't work anymore" message. There seems no pattern while selecting text (like special characters, certain fonts, whatever).
Tried to use CC – no luck! still crashing.
After some research in the forum I read, that this is very rare issue only occuring if there are more than 1 Windows accounts with both InDesign running. Indeed I made new account shortly before the first time this happened.
But sadly even after I completely wiped the second account, all my InDesigns (CS5, CS6, CC), all prefs, and also all fonts (as recommend in a thread with people havong trouble with just the type-tool itself) and all registry thingies the problem remains. Why?
Please help, it really kills the productivity.
Thanks in advance for everything!

Well, wonky extension seems like a good idea, but can be withdrawed because I haven't installed one.
The font issue is also equally probable. As already mentioned: The interesting aspect here is, that both InDesign CS6 and CC will crash. It happened the first time when Windows decided to blue screen and f*** up my account (I wasn't able to log in anymore, I had to made a new one). I once read in another thread that there is a problem occuring when having multiple Windows accounts with InDesign running. Re-installing InDesign didn't help. Font problem after all?
I have installed at the moment:
MainType
NexusFont
Typograf
and some small others, like: dp4 Font Viewer or FontViewOk

When i switched from windows vista to windows 7 my songs on itunes dont play fully they are cut off even on ipod..any suggestions?

When I switched from windows vista to windows 7 on a new computer my ipod doesnt play songs from itunes fully it cuts them off before they play out entirely. Any suggestions?

Delete the current copy, don't hide from iTunes in the cloud if prompted, close iTunes, reopen, download from iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
While downloading click the download icon and uncheck Enable simultaneous downloads. You may find it more reliable that way.

Program freezes when adding text to clip

Hi,
I have sent a 40 minute slideshow to PE7. I am splitting the slide show at various points and inserting short video clips. After having added text to both photos and video two or three times, I now find that the program freezes when I either try to add further text or even if I try to edit previously inserted text.
Has anyone a solution to this please?
Thanks
Jim
P.S. the reason I am adding video to the slide show and not the other way around is that I like the pan and zoom facility of the slide show which is not available as a transition in PE7.
Apparently I cannot add video clips to slide shows in PSE 7 - or at least not more than 5 seconds of video at a time.

Hi, Thanks for you reply.
The photos are between 1 to 3 MB each if thats any help, My Sony Handycam was set to 16:9 format but I can't select this in Project preferences which seems fixed at 4:3. The point is that I have used photos of this size in a project containing both photos and video previously without problems. I have not tried to splice video footage into an imported slide show before.
I will investigate further later.
Thanks again
Jim

Hello!
I've just reformatted my laptop and installed windows 7 home.
did all the windows update, downloaded the latest iTunes 12.1.2 from Apple site.
installed successfully. and is able to launch and play music. i've added in only one song to the library to just test.
Here's the problem i'm facing now.
- iTunes freezes if i tried to going to preferences via Edit > Preferences.
- iTunes freezes when my iPhone 6 (iOS 8.1) is plugged in. the iPhone appears under my computer, but iTunes is unable to detect/freezes.
tried these methods
- iTunes: May become unresponsive when connecting iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
- re-installing iTunes multiple times, restarted my iPhone multiple times
- running iTunes on safe mode, but i doubt this will make any difference since there are no plugins installed.
- phone does not have any podcasts/videos
- tried running iTunes in compatibility mode
- cable used is original apple cable
- created another windows user account, same problem persist.
- tried all 3 USB ports
- uninstalling apple device drivers and installing
- tried to revert back to iTunes 11.4 or older iTunes 12 version, but encounter installation errors with Apple Mobile Device.
findings
- iTunes 12.1.2 is able to detect my phone on windows8.1 (office machine)
- able to access iPhone under my computer to retrieve images/videos
- able to charge iPhone via USB
- running iTunes diagnosis states that iTunes is unable to detect any iPod/iPhone/iPad when my iPhone 6 is plugged in
- using iTunes with iPhone had been no issue before the windows re-installation with iTunes 11.4 (if i never remembered the version wrongly, it's the red icon iTunes)
- Apple mobile device is working fine when i've checked under services.
- Under device manager, the apple mobile device is shown up in the USB list
would be grateful for any help! been trying to get this fixed to do a backup and sync my other stuffs.
thanks in advance!

X-Fi Extreme Music || when installing drivers for windows vista 32 bits, error mess

I get an error message when I install windows vista 32bits drivers for my X-Fi Extreme Music... it says, error while installing, can't find a compatible product on your system, verify if it has been corectly installed ... BUT INSTALLING I JUST WHAT I WANNA DO ! WTF?
all other software for hardware management can see that my sound card is connected to my mother board, so i don't understand why the driver installer can't see it too and install the drivers ...
Could someone give me a tip to help me to install my drivers please?
i got windows vista 32bits build 6000 , X-Fi Extreme Music, 2048 RAM, Pentium4 3.6ghz 250 go hdd space ...
I'm waiting for some cool answers, thanks ! ...

You are wrong. The 2.3 are for extreme music, you are thinking about extreme audio. Creative have really made a blunder with these names, not strange many are having problems. Propably trying to install extreme audio drivers on extreme music, and the other way around!?
Check that you have the right drivers, if you do. Try the trick where you unpack the driver exe file, so you get all the files from the installer on to a folder of youre choosing. Then use the "Creative Update Utility" popup to install/force the drivers to install. If you dont know what im talking about, search the forums, its been explained many times here.

Bridge CC - 64 bit freezes when selecting a video file icon in content view

On a 64-bit PC (12 core, 64 GIG RAM) with solid state hard drive and Nvidia Quadra 4000 video card with latest driver. I have purged cache, I have reset preferences, I have changed shortcut to Run As Administrator. I've tried to find a way to run in 32-bit mode but can't find a way to do it. I've also looked to see how I can install a 32-bit version with Adobe Cloud but can't find anything. Any ideas how to stop Bridge CC 64-bit from continually freezing upon selecting a video file icon?

Hi Yammer,
Thanks for the response. From what I can tell it is all video file types. The ones I most consistently have are .wmv, .mov, .mp4. I have also changed the file associations from the default video players to VLC to see if it was a Quicktime or Windows Media Player issue and that didn't solve it.

Photoshop Elements 11 freezes when selecting Photomerge

Photoshop Elements 11 freezes after selecting images in the tray and then selecting Photomerge/Group Shot or Photomerge/Scene Cleaner. The program does not respond and then exits after Windows checks for a solution. I tried this with 2 images of size 3000x2000. The system is Win7, Intel i5, 8GB RAM, 10GB free SSD and >500GB HDD (set in Edit/Preferences).
Since the app freezes immediately I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this problem.
Any help would be appreciated.

Are you able to drag a source image into the editing window or select any of the tools e.g. pencil or eraser. If not use the menu in Expert mode and go to:
Edit >> Preferences >> General
Click the button “Reset Preferences on next launch”
Then close the application and re-start.
Let us know if that makes any difference.

[Work around] iPod Classic automatically disconnects when open itunes (PC Windows Vista)

I have a:
iPod Classic 120GB
HP Pavilion Laptop
iTunes 10 (latest)
Windows Vista OS (32-bit)
THE PROBLEM
I connect my iPod to my laptop with a working usb cable. The computer recognises the iPod as is shows up as a drive in "My Computer". But as soon as I open iTunes program, iTunes recognises the iPod for a few seconds, then automatically disconnects from the program and the computer.
Only after updating my iTunes to 10 have I encountered this problem.
I have tried all the suggestions on the apple forums and others to no avail.
THE WORK-AROUND
Calling this a work around simply because it is definately not a solution. and developers should really get off their backsides and fix this bug.concerning the problem of iPods (particular the older models) automatically disconnecting.
When connecting the iPod to the computer (NOT IN ITUNES), open the iPod drive through "My Computer", keep that window open as a folder, then proceed to run iTunes. This should allow you to use iPod through iTunes as normal.
NOTE: this is not a superfix and may not work for everyone, but it won't hurt to try. for more drastic but permanant solution, switching to 3rd party software might be for you. I have tried Songbird and had no problems link: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/29716/heres-five-alternatives-to-itunes-10-for-ea sily-managing-your-ipod/
Hope this helps. Peace

I'll give this a shot, thank you for posting. I don't want to say I'm glad it's a bug but it's better then two brand new ipods in 10 days being crap.

FrameMaker crashes when selecting print book file

I have recenctly update to TCS4. FrameMaker crashes when I select Print Book but will produce a PDF is I select Save As PDF.
Anyone else experiencing this and have a resolution?

While I agree that this should not occur, you've said you can produce a PDF...
Is there a reason you don't want to print from the PDF?
Many long-time Framers are so used to doing this that we don't even use the Print dialog anymore...
That said, if you want to track down the culprit, try the excellent suggestions above:
set printer to Adobe PDF
MIF wash
Create a new book, and open all files
and add 2 more to the list:
Ensure that all the alerts are checked in Edit > Preferences > Global > Alerts
Update your book and address any missing resource messages

CS5 InDesign crashing when selecting text

I get this crash when I select text, and then select more text. It takes a usually 3–5 times, but it crashes. I've tried uninstalling fonts and I've tried with brand new documents using system fonts. Any suggestions?
http://pastebin.com/vucbJRbC

.. in which case I could run a cursory check. At the very least I will be able tell whether the file is physically damaged (missing parts of the file), or if it's internally damaged (a bad code in an otherwise good file).
Are you free to post the file somewhere? [Unfortunately, Adobe doesn't allow InDesign files to be shared through this forum ]

Safari 5.1.2 opens two of every window when selecting "Reopen all windows from last session" since the latest update.

Since the latest Saffari update to 5.1.2, every time I close Safari and reopen, and select "Reopen all windows from last session," two of every window opens. I must go through a long list under the 'Window' menu and select one of eac pair and close them. What a hassle.
Has anyone experienced this as well, and is there a fix?

Flash CS 5.5 Crashes when selecting Text Tool

Need some help here. Trying to work on a project for class and everytime I select the text tool (menu bar/tool bar/keyboard shortcut) it crashes...I have tried using both purchased product and trial version. Getting no help from support when I chat or call in. If anyone has had this problem can you throw some help me way??

Well, wonky extension seems like a good idea, but can be withdrawed because I haven't installed one.
The font issue is also equally probable. As already mentioned: The interesting aspect here is, that both InDesign CS6 and CC will crash. It happened the first time when Windows decided to blue screen and f*** up my account (I wasn't able to log in anymore, I had to made a new one). I once read in another thread that there is a problem occuring when having multiple Windows accounts with InDesign running. Re-installing InDesign didn't help. Font problem after all?
I have installed at the moment:
