How do I fix a common force quit problem on the PC?

This happens to me about 2-3 times a day everyday. I save every once in a while to avoid losing the whole file but its annoying. It's a problem on both the Creative Cloud and disc version installed on my work and home computer. I even updated the software. Has anyone had this problem or contacted Adobe about this?
I wish that if it did happen on a less frequent basis, Illustrator would recover the work like Photoshop does when my computer freezes. But Photoshop has never force quitted on me. My computer well meets the requirements and the IT guy said he got me a computer with higher specifications for graphic design software.

    My force quit window fills the entire screen. How can I resize it? I have iOS 10.7.5.

    Click the "Green" button?
    Or, Click and Drag the Lower-Right-Corner.
    I've tried both on a Mac OS X 10.7.5 Lion system, and they both affected the Force Quit dialog box.

  • Does SL/PS experience the force quit problem?

    I still experience the looooooong delay if PS crashes before it will actually quit or force quit. Has the SL/PS combo fixed this problem?
    thanks.
    ps cs4  10.5.8

    The looooong delay is the Apple crash reporter running, gathering data to send in the report.
    For some users, it does seem to take longer to run on SnowLeopard than it did on Leopard.
    But it's entirely Apple's code - Adobe can't do anything about Apple's crash reporter.
    I profiled it, just to be sure -- and all the time is spent in Apple's code, our code doesn't do anything until it prompts you to send the report to Adobe.

    Did you already try to reset the iPod by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data.
    If this does not work, try to reset the network settings in Settings/General/Reset. After that you'll have to put in the passwords for all known networks again.

    Is there an option that someone knows about that would keep this from happening?
    no, if iTunes can't find its drive/folder, it defaults to creating one within your Home directory's Music folder.
    If anyone knows a way I send a product suggestions to apple please let me know, as I have a few that would like to suggest.
    under the iTunes menu choose the Feedback menuItem.

    Those are just shortcuts to open the application. Go to your Applications folder and open Mail from there. You can drag the Mail application from the applications folder back down to your dock.

  • HT5137 I went to the genius bar the other day and was told that force quitting apps was the single worst thing I can do to my phone or iPad, short of dropping and damaging it, or jailbreaking it. Is this true or false?

    I went to the genius bar the other day and was told that force quitting apps was the single worst thing I can do to my phone or iPad, short of dropping and damaging it, or jailbreaking it.That it is bad for the software, firmware and battery. The employee was very excited about the topic and cringed when I force quit in front of him. He gave me the url to read about multi-tasking so that i could read more. But neither that page nor the force quitting apps page says anything about this activity being bad. Is it so bad? If so, why don't we know that? So many people I know force quit in an effort to have fewer pages appear.

    Thank you for the feedback. I can breathe a sigh of relief that I can once again clear these pages from my sight. This employee said he tells about a half dozen people a day when they come in with various problems, as he is attributing their problems to force quitting. It's like he was out to save the world, one iphone user at a time. I'm talking *serious* passion from this man!

    how to solve illustrator cs6 save as cs5 problem about the stroke(when the stroke with clipping mask and color is gradient, save as cs5 will change to embed ).

    Because it was not possible to apply a gradient to a stroke in CS5. When you open the file in CS5, it is reduced to something that can be rendered in CS5.

  • When using office for mac or i studio after inserting several pictures, my computer locks up and the only way I can fix it is to do a force quit.  Why does it do this and how I I get it fixed without a force quit?

    I have a mac book, with office for mac and iStudio installed.  When I try to create a document using either one of these; after inserting several photos, the computer locks up and the only way I can get it to unlock is to do a force quit.  Why does it do this, and how can I get it to unlock without having to do a force quit?

    Are you using versions of the software that are compatible with the version of OS X you have installed? Very often such lockups are caused by application incompatibility.
    The problem may also come from trying to use both sets of applications at the same time while not having enough RAM installed. Adding more RAM may fix the problem.
    The problem can arise from corrupted support files such as preference files or Application Support files or corrupted cache files.
    The image files you are using may also be corrupt thus causing the problem.

    Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
    For disk repairs use Disk Utility.  For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior;  DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation.  TechTool Pro 4.5.1 or higher are Intel Mac compatible;  Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided.  Versions 1.5.1 or later are Intel Mac compatible.
    OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.  Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts had been significantly reduced in Tiger and Leopard.  These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
    OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
    I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.  Other utilities are also available such as Onyx, Lion Cache Cleaner, CockTail, for example.
    For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack.  If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline.  Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
    When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
    Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
    Backuplist
    Carbon Copy Cloner
    Data Backup
    Deja Vu
    iBackup
    JaBack
    Silver Keeper
    MimMac
    Retrospect
    Super Flexible File Synchronizer
    SuperDuper!
    Synchronize Pro! X
    SyncTwoFolders
    Synk Pro
    Synk Standard
    Tri-Backup
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
    Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.
    Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
