HP Photosmart Studio freezes after launch

Does anyone else have a problem with HP Photosmart Studio freezing/not responding as soon as it is launched?
I have a 15 inch MacBook Pro running 10.5.5, though the problem has been the same since 10.5.1.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the latest software from the HP web site, deleted preference files, repaired permissions etc but the problem remains.
Any help would be welcome.

I can confirm that I, too, am encountering problems with HP Photosmart Studio (version 9.6.9) that is mystifying me. I spent about 10 hours trying to figure out the problem, but I did not come up with any solution.
I have not yet explored all of the HP software features that came with my HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-One, which so far seems to be a very fine machine that has delivered full functionality in printing, scanning, copying, and faxing. The one feature that does not seem to be functioning properly has to do with scanning a JPG image to the HP Photosmart Studio. Every time I've tried to do that, I get the same result: the image gets scanned OK and is deposited into a folder called "Scanner Output." That part is good. However, whenever the Photosmart Studio application is launched—either as part of the scanning process, or if I just launch it independently of triggering a scan via the HP Device Manager—the Studio application delivers a spinning sundial gauge next to the "Keywords Album" item for about 30 seconds, which is the followed by the spinning beach ball, indicating that the application is not responding. I must Force Quit it.
That is what has happened since I first installed the HP software on my PowerMac G4 running Tiger, 10.4.11. Uninstalling the HP software and reinstalling it does not fix the problem. The thing that mystifies me is that I cannot discern if the problem lies solely within the HP software or if there is something wrong with Tiger on my PowerMac G4. The reason I say that is that, in order to isolate the problem, I ran comparative tests of the same, freshly reinstalled HP Photosmart Studio on an iMac G5 running Tiger 104.11, and I did not have problem getting a stable Photosmart Studio window to appear. The same spinning sundial gauge appeared, and it spun for awhile, but it eventually disappeared and the application became functional, unlike on my G4, when the spinning beach ball appeared.
Additionally, back on my PowerMac G4, which also has partitions running Panther and Leopard, the HP Photosmart Studio application, which resides on the Tiger volume, loaded OK when I re-started the G4 under Panther and Leopard. However, I do not consider that a solution, since I could see no way that I could access images that were not on the startup drive.
I wish I could say definitively whether or not the problem lay within the HP Photosmart Studio component of the quite extensive software package that came with the All-in-One, or whether there may be something amiss, or incompatible, with the Mac OS. But all of my tests thus far do not allow me to reach any definite conclusion. As you requested, it would be nice to know from others if this software application works or not with the Mac OS. For me, I guess I am just going to have to work around that particular feature, at least on the Tiger volume on my PowerMac G4. Strange, though, isn't it?

  • Muse freezes after launch Mac OS

    I'm using Mac OS Mavericks. It worked yesterday before shut down.  Today, when I launched my Muse site, Muse freezes after the Site Map is displayed when I try to edit text on a page. I searched the forums and there was a similar problem last year, but I'm using the current version. I tried disconnecting the network, disabling Typekit, renaming the preferences folder. But, these did not work. Suggestions please. Thanks.

    I think I've isolated the problem to text editing: Muse freezes when editing text. I can perform other functions, such as placing graphics, but when I try the use the text tool, Muse freezes.

  • ITunes freezes after launching

    iTunes version: 11.2.2
    OS X 10.9.3
    MacBook Pro Early 2011
    Recently, iTunes has been freezing almost immediately after launching, irrespective of other applications running. The problem persists even in Safe Mode, and I have to Force Quit the application each time. Some times it runs fine for one song, but usually freezes immediately (not responding with spinning pinwheel).
    What are the troubleshooting steps for this issue? Restarting my computer has not resolved the issue.

    Plasma Prestige!  Success!  iPhone was recognized immediately and is syncing presently.  Thanks very much for your help!

    After reading about your issue, I tried syncing my own iPhone and experienced the freeze as well. I scoured the Support Communities and finally stumbled across a solution. I am not sure if this fixes the problem permanently but it certainly fixed it for now.
    1. Open the Finder
    2. In the Menu Bar, click Go
    3. While holding the 'Option' Key, select Library
    4. Expand the Application Support folder
    5. Expand SyncServices and delete the Local sync file
    6. Restart the system
    Plug in your iPhone after this and it should resolve the issue. Let me know if it works.

  • Win7,latest update, freezes after launch

    I "updated" to latest iTunes for Win7...installed OK but now freezes after loading. Have to go to Task Manager to end the session. Any workaround? The software worked well before the "update"--my mistake in downloading the new version.

    I have decided that I will propably skip the 1.4-update, since I don't need podcasting and I don't buy music from ITMS. But I need an older Updater for Windows. Apple's site only offers the latest version, and it has already been demonstrated that it does not work for me (for some reason). Is there a place where I could download older versions of the updater?

  • CC applications freezing after launch

    I am trying to find a solution for a long time and cannot find one. I got a new laptop in April.  CS6 would not work (AE and PSD). I spent some time in April with a person on the phone at Adobe, but to no avail. It would not launch. I figured it would be fixed in CC so I waited (my older laptop still has CS5, I could still use that.) Still no luck.  I reinstalled Mavericks (10.9.4) re-installed the Creative Cloud applications on the new computer.  Now they appear to Launch but both get locked up after it opens.  Beachball.  Have to force quit.   I don't know what else to do. The website suggested I find Arial MT and delete that font.  That is not on my computer.    Can anyone make a recommendation?  I also found this link, and that did not improve anything.    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1396
    Thank you.

    Hi dliban2000,
    I apologize for the inconvenience, could you provide any case # so that we can look into it and help you further?
    Meanwhile,  I would suggest  to try : Troubleshoot system errors, freezes | Mac OS 10.x | Adobe software
    restart the machine.
    Quit time machine all the third party services/software eg. antivirus, dropbox, growl, etc.
    Re-launch creative cloud.
    Thanks,

  • CC Photoshop Freezes after launch

    Hello,
    I am installed Photoshop and Indesign on my MacPro with 10.7.5 (Lion) though Creative Cloud and after I installed everything and launch the apps, it freezes up my computer and I cannot force quit. I have to do hard restart.   I have used CC on this machine before but I just reformatted the drive and did a clean install of everything. I read all the forums and even tried to hold the Command +  Option + Shift keys while launching photoshop,  and nothing has worked.   I was able to install Acrobat just fine but Photoshop and Indesign are the two main programs I use.   Anyone have suggestions?
    Thank you

    Have you had any luck with this? I've been experiencing the same since Creative Cloud started... happens with all creative cloud apps. I removed the creative cloud desktop app as that was the most troublesome and would often hang everything after waking from sleep. Helped a little but waking from sleep still creates the issue and I have to restart the computer. If I do get an app working and I go to update through the help menu, that app hangs. I've read in other discussions that you need to change the user (which is ******** and very time consuming) but like an idiot I did that and... surprise, suprise, same problem. Never seen adobe come back on this one.

  • New iTunes freezing after launch, what's going on?

    After downloading the new iTunes with no problem, I've discovered that after a few seconds the programme freezes from any action. It's really starting to do my head in right now. Everything was going fine, I was downloading iOS 5 when it decided to lose connection, I tried again and same thing. After that, the problem with iTunes it self occured.
    After spending a whole HOUR trying to get to the point of asking this question I am seriously fed up with this. Apple has well and truely messed up any chance of trying to persuade Blackberry users that the iPod is better since the whole update is causing more problems than what it's fixing.
    If anyone can help find a "cure" for this freezing, I'd be extremely grateful. Thankfully my iPod didn't get wiped during the whole problem even though it was trying to sync at the time and then black screened for five minutes before coming to life again.

    Hi kristenleducphotography,

  • My Photosmart c4780 freezes

    My Photosmart c4780 freezes after I turn it on and it picks up one sheet of paper and feeds it through 3/4 of the way. 
    If I send a test page it says "printing", but nothing happens.  When I hit the red "X", it says cancelling forever, until I pull the plug.

    Is the printer plugged directly into the wall outlet? HP printers do not need to placed on surge protector and that can cause issues with the printer getting enough power. If plugged directly into a wall outlet I would take the cartridges out, clean the contacts on them and inside the printer and then do a hard reset to the machine. Solution two in this document will show one how clean the contacts on the cartridges and inside the printer.  I know that the title of the document does not relate to your issue, but it lays out the cleaning process in a clear and direct fashion. 
    After cleaning the contacts, leave the cartridges out and perform the following reset.
    1. With the printer plugged directly into a wall outlet, and turned on, unplug the cord from the rear of the printer.
    2. Then unplug the cord from the wall socket.
    3. Wait at least 30-60 seconds
    4. Plug the power cord back into the wall socket first. If the cord has a module in it, make sure that the light on the module is lit up and then plug cord back into the rear of the printer
    5. The printer should power back on by itself, but if not use the power button on front panel to turn machine back on. 
    Once the printer has finished the start-up process, and recognizes that the cartridges are missing, reinstall them in the appropriate slots and then reattempt to print.

  • Adobe CC won't launch, Photoshop freezes immediately after launch, help!

    Hello, I would appreciate any suggestions on how to solve this issue. It started with Photoshop CC freezing, as in spinning color wheels of death immediately after launch. I have tried launching with a file, without a file, from Lightroom, independently, nothing works, but spinning wheel until I force quit.
    So I tried to update, thinking it wpould help. Adobe CC won't launch at all, no error message, no force quit, just nothing happens. I tried uninstalling both, but unistall just hangs, bouncing in the dock for all eternity until I force quit. The Adobe Application Manager will not launch, and also hangs until a force quit.
    The machine is a MacPro OSX 10.7.5 with 3.2 GHz Quad-Core 8GB with no other issues. I have done no updates, no new programs, apps, fonts or plugins in weeks, and the Adobe CC stuff has been working until two days ago. No other issues with the machine I have noticed, and Lightroom and PS CS6 are both working as usual. Restarts have no effect.
    I have attempted to start PS CC using command-shift-option thinking the preferences might be causing an issue, but got the same hanging result. Renaming the OOBE file has not worked. Help!

    Have you had any luck with this? I've been experiencing the same since Creative Cloud started... happens with all creative cloud apps.

  • Shortly after launching into itunes, it freezes and I get the following message: A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. How do I resolve this issue?

    Shortly after launching itunes, the program freezes and gives me the following message:A problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. The program then closes, even if I have not completed what I am doing. How do I resolve this problem?

    That is what I thought. Cannot figure out how to turn it off, though.
    However, when I talked to her over the phone, she is definitely using Firefox. I tried to access her Internet Explorer, but it has been deactivated, I believe by Firefox.
    She primarily uses the Internet to communicate with her kids, grandkids, and great grandkids. Her e-mail account is with Yahoo Mail, and she uses Firefox to access it. Occasionally, she uses the web to look up information, and may have downloaded a virus.
    Do you think there's something in Yahoo Mail that conflicts with Firefox? Is there some remnant of Internet Explorer that needs to be deactivated? Could she have a virus?
    Any information would be gratefully appreciated. I live 7 hours away, and can only help her over the phone. I'm trying to develop a course of action that I can use with her. I know a little bit about Firefox, so need your expertise.

  • HANA Studio Freezes in File Import Wizard

    Hello everyone,
    I'm running HANA Studio version  1.0.68, and can't get it to import any file at all. The application just freezes after clicking the Next button in the File Import Wizard after filling up the form. I've tried even simple CSV files with a few rows without success, and importing into an existing table or a new one with identical results. After closing studio I see a java error (see the screenshot below.
    Any help is appreciated
    Regards
    Ricardo Sada

    Hi Ricardo,
    You can try these things
    1) Try setting the value of the file as for the Xms as 512m in your hdbstudio.ini file, which will be present in your Studio installation location.
    2) Check for the location of JAVA.EXE ( Kill any JAVAW.EXE in your task manager and restart the studio)
    C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\javaw.exe
    --launcher.XXMaxPermSize
    512m
    --launcher.defaultAction
    openFile
    --launcher.appendVmargs
    -vmargs
    -Xmx1024m
    -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
    -Xms256m
    -XX:MaxPermSize=512m
    3) Chekc of the Jre path in the system environment variabled and if they are pointing to 32 bit or 64 bit Java installation

  • My Mac freezes after waking up

    I have a rMBP mid 2014 that keeps freezing after sleep, but not every time, since I upgraded to latest Yosemite 10.10.3. I can move the mouse and close all active programs, but it takes long time and will anyway not restart after that. I have to force power off and then power on again, then it will work for a while.
    I have tried to do the upgrade again och even tried to reinstall Yosemite again, but it didn't help. Here's a report:

    Rid the MBP of CleanMyMac.  It may very well be the source of your problems.
    NO so called cleaning or performance applications should be installed in a Mac.  At best they will do nothing, at worst they can corrupt your system.

  • HD Channels freeze after 5 minutes

    Since the launch of BT sport my HD channels including new BT sport freeze after about 5 minutes.  Help suggests I restart Home Hub and BT vision box. This gets the system going for the next 5 minutes.  Note this is the behaviour whether accessing BT sport or BBC1 HD.  I can actually get the channel to unfreeze by simply changing channels so its not really necessary to reboot all the boxes.  Unfortunately this approach does not work when trying to record your favourite football team.
    Other details: BT Vision box is connected to Home Hub by powerline adaptors and I often get a message with error VMC999 complaining of a slow connection. 
    What is particularly irritating is that I have a new Samsung smart TV which displays all HD channels perfectly (via Freeview) and seamlessly streams HD on demand content by connecting wirelessly to the BT router.
    I have made two attempts this week to contact BT (0800...) but abandonned them as there are'nt enough hours in the day. 
    So what I propose do is to "enjoy" my "free" BT sport channels (I have infinity account), cancel my BT Vision subscription (if BT ever pick up the phone) and subscribe to Netflix, Blinkbox, etc.
    If anyone has any practical or technical suggestions please comment.

    Did you manage to try using an ethernet cable rather than the power line adapters (PLA's)? Did this solve the problem? As others mentioned the PLA's are probably causing the VMC999 error. You need a reliable connection to the Vision+ box for the multicast channels to work smoothly. Being live channels they have to work in a slightly different way to on-demand content.
    If after trying a cable you still get the multicast channels freezing after approx 5 mins every time you try to view/record them then you are not the only one. In that case I suggest you read this thread I created a while back. I got it fixed for my line, but it still seems to be affecting some customers now. Get your stopwatch out!

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can read it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.
