Garageband crashes when selecting Soundsticks in prefs

Been working fine for a week, a pile of software upgrades added yesterday via Software update, and now can't get to Hardon Karmon Soundsticks using the rpeferences in Garageband - which is bad enough anyway but if you're a quad core user this is serious **** as the internal mic is the worst ever - found in a pile of old christmas crackers I think.
Anyway, I've deleted the files from library, but makes no difference, I've repareed permissions and rebooted.
Garageband still crashes when I select the Soundsticks thru preferences. The speakers work just fine in other apps.
Any suggestions?
Neil

Bought Quad Core G5 last Wednesday 25th Jan. Everything was fine until this morning when Garageband just would not connect to the USB speakers, even though they have been doing so since day 1. When I select them thru the preferences GB Unexpectedly Quits.
I've done disk repairs booted off installer disk, reinstalled garageband, archived and installed entire system and nothing's worked. GB still Unexpectedly Quits when trying to select the Hardon Karon USB Sound sticks. They work just fine with other apps.
Gone round and round in ever decreasing circles on this one, any suggestions more than welcome.

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

Photoshop CS6 crashes when selecting tools

Hi, I'm having the same problem as a few other members (Photoshop CS6 occasionally crashes when selecting tools) and have updated the driver on my HD5770 card to the latest version (8.961.0.0) as this is the recommended fix. Unfortunately this hasn't fixed the problem.
Here is the error report from the most recent crash.
This is very irritating as I inevitably lose some of my work when the application crashes.
What else do you suggest as a fix?
Steve

I installed 12.3 and restarted my computer. This did not solve the problem.
I've reinstalled Photoshop twice as well with no developments.
Then, I found this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4289204
My card (Radeon X 1300 / X 1550) is not listed in the "Tested video cards for Photoshop CS6" section.
If I go to Edit->Preferences->Performance, and mouse-over the "Graphics Processor Settings" section, it says "Photoshop detected an error in your display driver. Update or reinstall the driver and check Use Graphics Processor to retry".
Is there any way around this?

JVM crashes when selecting non-default printer in ReportViewer in NATIVE dialog.

On ReportViewer frame i have the print button active. If i click the print button (Native dialog) and select a printer other than default printer, the JVM crashes. Any idea how to fix it?
Thanks

I wanted to provide little history of what I am trying to achieve. Currently, I have the following code:
PrinterJob printJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
        if (printJob.printDialog()) {
            String printerName = printJob.getPrintService().getName();
            String printJobName = printJob.getJobName();
            PrintReportOptions printOptions = redirectPrinter(printerName, printJobName);
            sendReportOutputAndClose(reportClientDoc, printOptions);
I want to capture the number of copies user selects from the dialog. When I do printJob.getCopies(), it always returns 1. Not sure how to get that # of copies user selected. I also wanted to the dialog to be in Native mode because I don't want to give access to modify Margins and other page properties which are part of COMMON dialog mode. If I create the dialog printJobAttribute.setDialog(JobAttributes.DialogType.NATIVE); then VM crashes when selecting a non-default printer but I am able to get the number of copies. The key is I need to use NATIVE dialog and get the number of copies. One option is to display in COMMON dialog mode and then hide the "Page Setup" and "Appearance" tabs. Can this be done ? I am new to Java and Crystal so any suggestions would help.

Elements 13 crashes when selecting Print

Elements13 crashes when selecting Print from the File menu.
Rebuilding the Preferences file will bring the Print menus back, but only temporarily.
No error message, Windows advises the program must be shut down.
Win 7, 16GB RAM, Elements 6 on the same computer works fine.

Hi ,
You are going through File menu > Print or File menu > Order Prints .
Meanwhile go to Edit menu > Preferences >> Adobe partner services .
Click "Refresh Button"
Click "Reset Account"
and "Clear On-line Serves data" also.

JVM crashes when selecting a CLOB in a OracleCallableStatement

Hi all:
We have a lot of places in our codebase where we "batch" a no. of
selects using the OracleCallableStatement for better performance (i.e.
save multiple roundtrips to the db). Recently we upgraded to Oracle
8.1.7 and converted the LONG column in one of our tables to CLOB. Once
we did that, every place in the system where we use a "batch" select
(using refcursor) the JVM crashes (no stack trace, just the infamous Dr.
Watson on NT and SIGBUS SEGV on Solaris)
We are running wl510 sp10 , driver is weblogic oci (oci817_8).
Here is a sample code
cstmt = (OracleCallableStatement)con.prepareCall(
"BEGIN \n"
+ " OPEN ? FOR SELECT A, B, C FROM TAB1 where ..;\n"
+ " OPEN ? FOR SELECT X, Y, Z FROM TAB2 where ..;\n"
+ " END;");
cstmt.registerOutParameter(1, Types.OTHER);
cstmt.registerOutParameter(2, Types.OTHER);
cstmt.execute();
rs = cstmt.getResultSet(1);
Is there an update or patch for the driver which resolves this issue?
thanks much,
mohan

i have looked around and found this issue in older posts from 2008 but have not found a resolution. i've had dw cs4 for mac for a several months and all of a sudden it started crashing when i select code/split view.
i have:
deleted prefs
deleted config folder and .dat file
started up in safe mode and new user mode
no other issues with any other adobe apps or crashing in general
have plenty of memory
got rid of extensions
i feel like it is a corrupted file that is doing it unfortunately i dont have my original disk on hand to reinstall right now (purchased cd instead of download). UGH!
i'm running: snow leopard / 10.6.4 / 2x2.66 ghz dual core intel xeon / 7gb memory

Have you done a complete uninstall, clean up, and then reinstall? - Sounds like that's the only thing you haven't tried, so I'd try that next. Yeah, I know... a real pain. The sort of thing we on the PC side have to deal with far more often unfortunetly ;-/

• INDD crash when select "all unused swatches"

Hello -
I think all is in the topic title…
My InDesign® CS5 (7.0.4) crash when I select "all unused swatches" (from swatches palette).
This happens in opened document, but also in a new empty document.
• I delete (an rebuild) the préférences of the software.
• I repaired the authorizations of the Mac
Does someone know why?
Thank you, have a nice day…
- Dimitri
[link removed by moderator]

Hello Peter -
Thank you for your answer.
But I didn't trash manually the prefs. files.
I did it via the keyboard keys combination (when InDesign® is launched).
So is there another trick?
Thank you, have a nice day…

Adobe Premiere CC Crashes When Selecting Multiple Clips

This project was already derailed by multicam, now that I've got my assembly edit ready to go, I've discovered a new show-stopper: Premiere Pro CC crashes when I select multiple clips on the timeline. I can't select more than 3 clips at a time, or the entire program comes crashing to it's knees. Anyone else experiencing something like this? Can anyone else reproduce this behavior?
Here's a video of the experience:
http://youtu.be/DPOUinOSzDE
Any word on an update?
ASUS G75VX
Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit
GTX 670MX, 3GB GDDR5
16GB RAM

Progress. I've been able to isolate the problem. On my timeline I have some "regular" clips and some "merged" clips. Regular clips are from either source: a Canon 7D (MP4 / MOV) or a Canon VIXIA HF G20 (AVCHD). The Merged clips are only from the Canon 7D only (for video) and an audio recorder (MP3 at 320kbps). The 7D footage is 1080/24p. The VIXIA also shoots in 24p.
Since "Merge Clips" sync on audio is not working for me, I've employed my former CS6 workflow:
1. Sync all of the video and audio clips through PluralEyes 3 resulting in a preliminary sequence, "Clips_to_be_merged_sequence".
2. I work my way through each of the clips, adjusting the audio track(s) for variances in drift between the on camera sound and the audio recorder. I do this enabling "Audio Time Units", rather than video frames, so I can get extremely acurate.
3. When I have a timeline full of nicely syncronized audio/video pairs, I merge clips, one painstaking clip at a time (of course I set up a keyboard shortcut for this). For the merge, I "sync on In points".
4. The merged clip is added to my project panel.
5. Now, when it comes time to choose my sound bite selects, I load the merged clip into the Source panel and mark my Ins and Outs.
6. Time to create a subclip, of course with the new SOFT handles. (I'VE BEEN WANTING SOFT HANDLES FOR A LONG TIME!!!)
7. The subclip appears to be properly created and placed into the Project panel. It even shows the correct duration (i.e. 14 seconds)
8. When I drag that subclip onto the timeline it drags the entire length of the parent clip, without in or out points (not just the 14 second subclip).
9. I undo and decide to go back through the original clips again; mark ins and outs and simply drop to the timeline (either Insert or Overwrite).
So in the end, I'm using sections of the Merged clip, but I'm not using Subclips of the Merged clips (because that doesn't work).
Now, what's happening, though I didn't know it when I recorded the video above, is that Premiere is crashing any time I select both "regular" footage and "merged" footage.
So, two bugs here:
1. Can't use Subclips that are derived from Merged clips in ANY timeline. Once dragged to the timeline it expands to the full duration of the original clip.
2. Can't select both "regular" and "merged" clips at the same time on the timeline.
JStrawn (staff) was kind enough to offer to take a look at some small sample files. But my interview clips are very long, and I'm concerned that if I export them, to make them shorter, they may not actually exibit the problems I'm having on the original clips.
Anyone else using this type of "Merge Clip" workflow that could reproduce either the subclip-from-merged-clip bug or the mixed-selection crash given the steps above?

Photoshop crashes when selecting File / Automate / Batch

Photoshop users still need a fix for Photoshop crashing whenever they select Batch.
I understand that Adobe staff has chosen to blame scanner drivers for the problem. And, I've read the discussions thru last year (very long and boring when all you want is a fix). But, I'm not settled on several things which do not add-up.
First, I'll review the symptoms for the sake of all interested readers. Photoshop users have reported Photoshop crashing whenever they select File / Automate / Batch from the menu for years. This problem got much worse (widespread) since the release of version 12.0.4. The problem apparently affects only those with Train compatible scanners and who installed Adobe's optional Twain plugin. I never read how anyone came to this conclusion, but scanner drivers are being blamed. The accepted work-around is to disable or remove Adobe's Twain plugin.
Second, I want to point out that Photoshop works normally when using the Twain plugin. I can scan images and they are imported directly into Photoshop without any problems. This was the case before the 12.0.4 update and is still the case now.
Third, I want to pose my most pressing question. What does selecting "Batch..." have to do with scanner drivers? In other words, what possibly could Photoshop be doing with scanner drivers when selecting "Batch..." that it does not do when actually does use the drivers?
Lastly, I'll point out that I am a software developer of over 30 years. So, I understand how it might somehow work out in the details that the source of the problem really is buggy scanner drivers. However, as a programmer with a lot of experience dealing with problems common in device driver API's, I know that good practice is to expect anything. If Photoshop begins a process that calls out to someone else's software API, it should cushion that call with proper exception error handling. All processes should execute with an "if all else fails" contention.

>> What does selecting "Batch..." have to do with scanner drivers?
When running the actions for the Batch command, Photoshop updates it's menu/command state to check which commands are enabled or disabled based on the document state being changed by the actions. Part of that update is calling the scanner interface to see what is available or not, and at that point some drivers crash. Since the crash occurs in third party code executed within Photoshop's context - there was not much Photoshop could do to recover (there was exception handling, but it couldn't work across OS and DLL boundaries).
In Photoshop CS6, we spent quite a bit of time figuring out why they were crashing (apparently there was some assumption about the application GUI state), and how we could avoid them crashing in those circumstances - and now CS6 avoids the crashes in the Batch command even with the TWAIN plugin and drivers are loaded.

Adobe Photoshop crashing when selecting print preferences

Hi There,
It seems that within the past 2 days in our company we have had users complain that Adobe Photoshop is crashing when they go to print and print preferences. They say a window appears and says "Photoshop has stopped working and windows is looking for a solution".
Has anybody else experienced this over the past couple days? It was working on all computers until recently.
The computers are a mostly Windows 8 computers with 1 Windows 7.

try resetting preferences by holding down shift-ctrl-alt while starting ps. if done correctly a confirmation dialog with appear.
if that fails, this worked for someone else,
System Preferences>Print & Fax. Selected the Konica Minolta printer (the B/W printer was working fine). Changed the name. Still didn't fix it. Went back selected my newly named Konica Minolta then "Open Print Queue" (like Dave said)>print settings. Change the driver to "Generic Postscript printer." I could print, but only on letter-size paper, no other options available (need tabloid). Went back to system preferences>print & fax>Konica Minolta2>open print queue>drivers then I reselected the updated printer drivers--the same one that hasn't been working.

Premiere Elements 8 crashes when selecting the edit option

Hi to you all,
I just installed Premiere Elements 8 on my new system.
It is a Intel i5 + 4 GB mem, GTS250 and 400 GB of free disk space.
OS is WIndows 7 64 bits. The system is completely up-to-date with patches, fixes and so on.
BIOS, Drivers etc. All to the latest.
Starting PE8, no problem
Getting the film from my sony DV on to the disk, no problem.
Disc menu: no problem
Then when I want to add transitions or titles via the edit menu, Premiere elements 8 crashes. It is not responding anymore and windows is looking for a solution.
I followed the hints and tips on this forum on crashing Elements 8. No help. Quicktime to the latest. ended processes. All no help.
I also started PE8 in WIndows XP SP3 mode. Same problem.
Could it be the 64 bits?
Any help would be appriciated.
Richard
The Netherlands

Thank you all for the quick replies.
I installed the latest Nvidia GTS250 driver (from the Nvidia site) and guess. No crash anymore when selecting the edit menu.
My graphical card is a Asus GTS250 DK/DI/1GB and I was using the latest drivers retrieved from the asus site. Those drivers are old.
I can now continue to evaluate Premiere Elements 8.0
Thanks all.

Premiere Crashes when selecting Q-Sound CODEC

I do some radio program editing, and like to use Premiere as a multitrack editor sometimes. However, the program has to be delivered in Q-Design MPEG audio. As such, we installed Q-design's CODEC on our workstations. I select the Q Design CODEC in Premiere's export audio tab and Premiere promptly generates a serious error, crashes and loads the Adobe crash reporter.
More and more serious problems are surfacing, the more I work with the program.

Thank you all for the quick replies.

Adobe Download Assistant crashes when selecting download location

I am having troubles when trying to download the CS5.5 Master Collection trial. When selecting to download it, it opens the 'Browse For Folder' window; I select 'Computer' and then the whole application crashes with the error message 'Adobe Download Assisant.exe has stopped working'. What could be the cause of this?
I have two hard drive partitions (C: and E:) and am using Windows 7 Ultimate.
Thank you for your time.

It seems that if I quickly a download location and let the application crash, I can reopen Adobe Download Assistant and the download will commence. Though I am still concerned, could this be a computer issue that needs addressing?

Further GarageBand crashes when loading lessons ...

Hi All,
I've GarageBand installed on a Mac mini server (the new Apple ones). When I try to open any lesson it silently crashes. The
I've seen the other thread with similar title and tried replacing the "Gill Sans.ttf" font with a "Gill Sans.dfont" from another system. Rebooted. Still crashes.
I've fixed permissions. Still crashes.
I tried deleting everything - everything - GarageBand related on disk and reinstalled and updated. Same problem. Crashes when loading lessons.

Have you tried to delete the downloaded version from the Applications folder and to reinstall from the AppStore? Perhaps the download was incomplete.
If that is not the problem, check all your Audio Units, and other plug-ins like VST plug-ins for compatibility, see: GarageBand for Mac (v10.0): Unexpected behavior with Audio Units plug-ins
