Hanging when switching between programs?

Is there a soluton to programs hanging when switching between one program to another?

Safe Mode deletes some system caches that may help..
Startup your Mac in Safe Mode
A Safe Mode boot takes longer than a normal boot so be patient.
Once you are in Safe Mode, click Restart from the Apple () menu then try switching between applications.

Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 crashes frequently when switching between programs

I've started to frequent program crashes in Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 in Mac OS 10.10.3 on my 2013 Mac Pro. The issue occurs when I switch from another program, say word or Adobe Audion back to Premiere Pro. I get the 'we're sorry' dialogue box and the application crashes. About 50% of the time when this happens - when I reopen the application it crashes again - and then on the 2nd re-open it's successful. It's really hampering my workflow to worry about a crash every time I move into AE or Audition. I've uninstalled all plugins, uninstalled and re-installed PP, cleared the media cache, and reset preferences. Still happening every day on this machine. FYI i have a 2013 iMac running the same OS which has been opening the same project files without this issue - so it seems like it's specific to this machine for some reason...

Hi,
I would suggest the following steps:

Dock not working; command-tab switch between programs not working

The Dock does not work. I have restarted (although the computer will not restart under "Restart", getting stuck at the last part, and needs to be restarted manually). When I change Dock preferences it reverts back to default settings. If I am lucky, the dock will appear and then disappear (poof) without having functioned.
The command tab function for switching between programs stopped working also.
The individual programs work, but I have to go to recent items to switch programs.
Further, I have two Previews open (with different documents in each) even though I have only one Preview program.
A whole lot of bizarre things that may be connected? I would appreciate any help.

You could try removing the .plist file again, but this time, try also removing the com.apple.dock.db file. Then log out and log in again.
Also, it seems as if many people are having similar problems. See [this thread|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9126119].
So, does the problem persist with another user account?
If it were my machine, the next thing I'd try is downloading the combo updater from Apple's website and reinstalling it. 10.5.6 is available [here|http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10-5-6_ComboUpdate].

Switching between programs

I have one little problem. I know very well how to use mac OS X in most situations but I just can't find out how to switch between programs when an override is active like battlefield 1942. I just want to look if I god messages in Adium or I like to switch music in iTunes. Command-Tab does not work here. I tried many man things but didn't find it.
Thanks for help.

I'm not really a "Game" person, and have none loaded on my Mac.
But I would think that if your Dock preferences are set to "Automatically hide and show the dock" you should just be able to move your pointer down to the dock position and switch to your programs that way.
Also, have you tried hitting the Command+Tab keys at the same time and switching between programs that way? (you press the Command Key and while keeping that held down you press the Tab key then by repeatively tapping the Tab key you move across the icons of open programs to get to the one you want)

Error when switching between drafts: "The instruction at "0x009f6487" ...

Running Contribute CS3 and get this error frequently when switching between documents in the Draft Console:
The instruction at "0x009f6487" referenced memory at "0x06bd7a24". The memory could not be "read".
Click on OK to terminate the program
Click on Cancel to debug the program
I do not get this error any other time. Only when editing multiple documents and switching between them. Clicking Save for Later on the toolbar, instead of clicking directly on the document in the Draft Console does not help.
Any help or suggestions are much appreciated.

Can you please try clearning the Contribute preferences?
To Clear the preference, quit Contribute, and then delete the Contribute CS3 folder in C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\ and also run the following command " reg delete "HKCU\Software\Adobe\Contribute 4.1" /f " if you are using Contribute CS3. Reconnect to the site and try the same scenario.
Note that, if you clear the preferences then no connection will be listed in Contribute, you need to recreate the connections. It will be like a fresh installation.

Music pauses on my iPhone 5C when switching between apps or when receiving alerts/notifications sometimes (not always) and I have to manually restart the song. I'm running the latest 7.0.1 software. It's a bit annoying.

Music pauses on my iPhone 5C when switching between apps or when receiving alerts/notifications sometimes (not always) and I have to manually restart the song. I'm running the latest 7.0.1 software. It's a bit annoying.

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Getting the spinning wheel when switching between accounts

Hi all,
I am getting the spinning wheel when switching between accounts on a mac mini. There are two accounts and quite often when we go from one to the other we get the spinning beachball after putting in the password to log in. I am finding the only real solution to be is to put the machine to sleep (button at the back for a sec or two) wait for it to go to sleep and then wake it up and it mostly will then log in and keep working.
It's an older intel dual core mac mini with an upgraded HDD. I previously had an iMac running snow leopard where the same problem occured and recently migrated over the account to the mini running Lion. It seems to be happening more often.
I also seem to remember that occasionally when using say Pages you would get the spinning beachball and then you would have to hit the desktop or go to another program and then back to pages to get it working again.

Does it occur no matter which way you're going say? i.e, both from
User 1 -> User 2
User 2 -> User 1
If its only one way, have a look at the 3rd party loginitems for the account your going to. If its both ways, see what 3rd party loginitems both accounts have in common. The best (though time consuming) way to eliminate the culprit is to remove all 3rd party apps from loginitems and add them in one at a time, testing for the problem each time.
If you get the BSOD while actually logged in (say, while using Pages), try running activity monitor (or use terminal.app with the command 'top -u' (without the quotation marks)), and see if you can notice any process running at more than 30%CPU.

Enforcing commit when switching between windows

Today our OracleForms application is built using the call_form built-in. The end user can navigate from FormA to FormB but he must close formB in order to continue work in FormA. This is the expected behavior of the call_form built in. We also ensured that all changes are committed when navigating between forms; posting is not used. This architure/technique ensures that end-users commit frequently; with 400concurrent users we must ensures locking is kept to a minimum. Consequence of this architecture is that we do not have a full MDI application.
In order to have a full MDI application I have to use the open_form built-in but if possible i want to keep 1 session for each application user, not 1 session for each form opened. This in order to prevent an explosion of database sessions. Oke lets use the no_session parameter.
Now what's my problem ? I order to keep locking to a minimum I want to enforce the end user to commit changes when switching between windows. Does somebody has an advice which trigger(s) would be the most appropriate one ?
Note : that the "raise form_trigger_failure" has no effect in the "when-window-deactivated" trigger.
Note : post-form does not fire since I'am not actually leaving the calling form
Note : if possible I would like to program the validation in the calling form instead of the called form; this in order to prevent switching between windows - can cause screen flikkering.
chris

note the when-window-deactivate does not always fire when switching between windows of different forms !!!
I simply want to keep the focus on the calling form when there are pending changes and throw a message to the enduser saying 'please commit before continuing...'
I tried to program the when-form-navigate trigger but in this trigger I'am not able to retrieve the form_status of the called form.
any other help would be appreciated.

Dreamweaver 6.1 - JavaScript error when switching between open tabs

When switching between open tabs a sequence of javascript
errors occurs. I had not used Dreamweaver for about 2 weeks, and
last time I used it with no problems.
I have tried uninstalling it, OKing removal of all files when
asked, re-installing it and updating with dwmx61_updater.exe, but I
still get the same errors.
This has rendered the software virtually unuseable, so any
help would be greatly appreciated, as I'm working to a
rapidly-approaching deadline.
"While executing Browse_Back enabled in toolbars.xml, a
JavaScript error occurred"
followed by
"While executing Browse_Forward enabled in toolbars.xml, a
JavaScript error occurred"
followed by
"While executing Browse_Stop enabled in toolbars.xml, a
JavaScript error occurred"
The relevant code seems to be :

<toolbar id="Browser_Toolbar" platform="win"
label="Browser Navigation" container="document"
initiallyVisible="false">
<button id="Browse_Back"
image="Toolbars/images/MM/back.gif"
disabledImage="Toolbars/images/MM/back_dis.gif"
tooltip="Back"
label="Back"
enabled="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.isCmdEnabled('back')"
command="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.backPage()"
update="onEveryIdle"/>
<button id="Browse_Forward"
image="Toolbars/images/MM/forward.gif"
disabledImage="Toolbars/images/MM/forward_dis.gif"
tooltip="Forward"
label="Forward"
enabled="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.isCmdEnabled('forward')"
command="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.forwardPage()"
update="onEveryIdle"/>
<button id="Browse_Stop"
image="Toolbars/images/MM/stop.gif"
disabledImage="Toolbars/images/MM/stop_dis.gif"
tooltip="Stop"
label="Stop"
enabled="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.getPageBusy()"
command="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.stopPage()"
update="onBrowserPageBusyChange"/>
<button id="Browse_Refresh"
image="Toolbars/images/MM/browserRefresh.gif"
tooltip="Refresh"
label="Refresh"
enabled="true"
command="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.refreshPage()"/>
presumably the next error is caused by the previous ones
failing :
"While executing getCurrentValue in AddressURL.htm, a
JavaScript error occurred"
the relevan tcode :
function getCurrentValue()
var dom = dw.getDocumentDOM();
var value = dom.browser.getURL();
if (value && value.length)
//check if is it not a temp file
//extract the tail of the url
var filename = value;
var slashIndex = filename.lastIndexOf("/");
filename = filename.substring(slashIndex+1);
var tempIndex = filename.indexOf("TMP");
if (tempIndex != 0)
addRecentAddress(value);
return value;

You can try this simple fix -
Quit DW.
Find this folder -
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application
Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver
8\Configuration\WinFileCache-*.dat
(these folders are normally hidden - you may have to use
Explorer > Tools >
Folder Options to unhide them)
and delete it.
Restart DW. Works better?

Graphic distortion when switching between external and built-in display (rMBP)

Recently (within the past two weeks or so) I've noticed a strange issue when switching between my external display (Thunderbolt) and my built-in display on my 15" rMBP. The following issue seems to be specific to Photoshop CS6.
Typically, I'll have a PS document open on my external display and I'll wind up taking my to another location. If I close the PS document while on my built-in and then re-open it, I get all kinds of distortion and pixellation. Closing out PS and reopining, restarting, logging on/off; none of it seems to work. It seems like the issue is with the PSD itself, but it doesn't make any sense to me. Any ideas? Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/iCipSc7.jpg

Do you have intel gpy as well as other graphic card? You may be viewing document on different gpu's. PS does not like multiple gpu's.

How to keep location in a table persistent when switching between pages

Hi -
How would I keep my last location persistent in a table when switching between pages? If I am on cell X and switch to another page, when returning to the previous page, I return to the top of the table. This can be very annoying when trying to find the same location in a large table (or even in a small one).
Thanks.

If by "page" you mean "sheet", you can do it. To get back to the same place you were in the other sheet, click on the sheet in the sidebar (the list of sheets/tables/charts/etc on the left). Don't click on the table, click on the sheet.

Screen of my desktop hangs when switching to other desktop or mission control

Screen of my desktop hangs when switching to other desktop or mission control. There is tearing of graphics while switchin to different desktops or mission control or while scrolling a webpage. I wish to know the problem and its solution.

I have a Mac Pro 13' and I am using OS X Mavericks.

Auto show/hide Plug-in when switching between patches in Mainstage 2

Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to have Mainstage 2 automatically reveal a plug-in when switching between patches. For instance, when switching to a Clav patch, have it reveal the EVD6 plug-in. Then, if you switch to a Rhodes patch, it automatically closes the EVD6 and reveals the EVP88.

As far as I know, no. I haven't found a way to do this. It would be useful in certain setups.

Yosemite 10.10.1 - DNS cache does not clear when switching between WiFi networks

Before updating to Yosemite, DNS caches would clear when switching between WiFi networks, as they should.
For Example, when using an Exchange server, your server name might be something like mail.company.com. Outside of the corporate LAN the IP would resolve to the outside (WAN) address. When you move the laptop inside the corporate LAN, it should clear the cache so mail.company.com resolves to the internal (LAN) address. This is just one example of a dumb DNS transition not taking place switching from outside to inside (and vice versa).
Instead, OS X is holding onto the outside DNS record even when moving to the Corporate LAN. The only way to fix is to run the DNS cache command (which is MUCH more convoluted in Yosemite now), or more easily, to quickly turn off then turn on WiFi.
This is an irritation as I have to perform this action every morning, and every time I come back to my desk from offsite.

Well, clearing the caches is as simple as this, no?
Clear MDNS Cache
sudo discoveryutil mdnsflushcache
Clear UDNS Cache
sudo discoveryutil udnsflushcaches
One other thing: Have you tried 10.10.2? There are many many fixes in 10.10.2 over 10.10.1.

Forced to Close all open applications when switching between users.

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro 13 inch, and have 2 accounts set up on the computer.
When switching between users on the computer, I am always forced to close all open applications on the current user, in order to switch to another user.
I was wondering if there was ANY way to keep the pages (specifically Safari) open when switching to another user, so that I can go back to them when I log back in to the other account.
thanks for the help!

Enjoy!
