Illustrator freezes upon sleep

CS5.5 Illustrator freeze after sleep
I have the same problem It started happening with CS5 when upgraded to mavericks, and now on Yosemite is the same.
Everytime I walk away from my computer for more than 5 or 10 minutes, I come back and both Illustrator and Indesign have the spinning wheel of death. Indesign fortunately has recovery files but I've lost so much illustrator work.
Today was even worse, i'd be switching between screens and come back to illustrator and it would be frozen and I'd have to force quit it.
Is there a solution to this?

  • CS5.5 Illustrator freeze after sleep

    I just upgraded from cs4 to 5.5 and also upgraded suitcase fusion 2 to fusion 3. I am on snow leopard. Never had this problem when I was on cs4 with fusion 2...
    After I wake up the computer from a few hours in sleep mode Illustrator has a spinning ball. I saw an old thread about this but not sure if there was a resolve. I did move out the adobe fonts from the system since I had most of them in my suitcase already. No other changes to the computer other than these.

  • 2006 Macbook occasionally freezes upon wake up. OSX Lion

    Macbook 2006 occasionally freezes upon waking up from sleep (lid-down). - screen displays desktop but keypad/trackpad don't work. I have to forcefully power down and then upon re-boot, it will work.
    This problem has surfaced since I installed LION.... any ideas people?

    Geds,
    Please start a new topic thread.  I can only help one person per thread.  
    Lion will install on any Core2Duo Mac with 2 GB of RAM.  But issues with freezing if they are present before installation of an operating system will be present after.   Operating system updates do not fix freezing issues.  They are either hardware issues, driver issues, or disk too full issues.  For that reason you need to start your own thread so the possible issues may be isolated.

  • After upgrading to yosemit login screen freeze upon waking up

    After upgrade to Yosemite, my MacBook Air (1.3 GHz Intel Core i5, 8GB 1600 MHz DDR3, Intel HD Graphics 5000 1536 MB)  sometimes freeze upon waking up, at login screen. With a white Apple logo on the top left corner of the screen, my login user name in the center, Cancel button at the bottom of the screen, and the usual login password text box is not available. I don't have control of the mouse or keyboard. This usually happens after extended sleep.  The only way out of this situation is to hold down the power button to restart.
    The only application I'm running at the time of sleep (closing the lid of my macbook air) is Parallel 9, with Windows 7 and Microsoft Outlook running inside the virtual machine.  After rebooting the system, and relaunching Parallel, Windows 7 reports that it was shutdown unexpectedly.
    Has any one run into this? Will upgrading Parallel 10 fix this problem?

    I haven't found or seen a permanent solution. A temporary solution from another user is to change the screen resolution to the next lower. It solves the problem for now, at least for him. One other disbled their screen saver and increased the time period before sleep mode kicks in. Otherwise, the obvious is to disabled the sleep mode entirely for the time being. These are from people with different hardware. These may or may not help. If I run across a real fix I'll let you know. Appreciate, if you can do the same.

  • Mac Pro Freezing upon wakeup

    I installed SL on both my Macbook Pro and my Mac Pro desktop. No problems with the laptop but the desktop is freezing upon wake up. If you click on items on the dock they bounce forever and my wheel pointer spins continuously. Computer doesn't come back and needs a hard shutdown.
    Any ideas how to fix this only upon startup from sleep? The Mac Pro is about a month old.

    The problem continues to plague me. I'm almost positive it's connected to the external drives both USB. One just regular WD mybook USB drive. The other is my time machine backup. After I unplugged the WD drive computer performed a little better but as soon as it accessed the time machine drive started freezing again. I reformatted the time machine drive and am hoping that solves the problem but have not have a chance to check it. Overall not very impressed with this install. The Macbook pro that's 3 yrs old is fairing okay. But Mac pro that was only a month old now seems to be plagued with problems. I've never had this much trouble with a MAC OS upgrade. Would be one thing if this was my only problem but spaces is acting up and WoW is crashing now because of the upgrade too.

  • Windows 7 Laptop Freezes Upon Waking Up To Login Screen

    Hello,
    I just started a new job and have a laptop that was supplied to me by the company. Before I go to IT I want to see if I can fix this issue myself. Sometimes (maybe 10 or 15% of the time) when I open my laptop or wake it up from sleep mode, when
    I go to the login screen it will freeze. This usually happens a few seconds after the screen appears, and will freeze whether or not I've hit CTRL+ALT+DEL or began to enter my login creds. My keyboard (integrated) and mouse (USB) both freeze and are
    unresponsive, so I must manually restart the computer. 
    I asked the question on the Windows 7 community and since my PC is domain joined I was directed here. See the thread here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-hardware/windows-7-laptop-freezes-upon-waking-up-to-login/715bcb8a-ee9b-43f8-a34a-fd105602e2cf
    Would love some help on this issue if anyone has any insight. 
    Thanks!

  • ITunes opens only in safe mode; freezes upon normal opening (possible solutions that I found to similar problems don't seem to apply)

    Hello. I've encountered a problem with my iTunes that I would like some help on solving. My computer uses Windows Vista. iTunes recently began to freeze as soon as I opened its window. On two occasions, it appeared to work the first time after turning the computer on, but would freeze upon subsequent openings. No error messages are given. It will either freeze while saying "Accessing iTunes Store," or without saying anything at all. However, iTunes appears to work just fine when I open it in safe mode (holding Shift + Ctrl while opening), although I have not yet attempted to sync a device while using safe mode. I attempted to update iTunes to its most recent version (10.6.3.25) after first experiencing this problem. The first time I tried, it didn't work, saying that "errors occured" during the update. I disabled my antivirus software (Kaspersky Antivirus 2012) and tried again. This time, my computer said that the update was successful. However, the freezing problem has persisted.
    After looking through Apple support and other discussion topics, I found several things to check for (relating to similar problems) as follows. I checked for them, but they don't seem to apply to my situation. Here is what i found.
    From Apple Support:
    Check for third-party plugins in the following two folders:
    -C:\Users\username\App Data\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes Plug-ins\
    Result: I found this folder, but it is empty, even with "Show hidden files and folders" enabled.
    -C:\Program Files\iTunes\Plug-ins
    Results: I did not find a "Plug-ins" folder in this directory, nor in the iTunes directory in Program Files (x86). However, there is a "Mozilla Plugins" folder in the (x86) directory, containing files "npitunes.dll" and "npitunes.xpt."
    From Community Discussions:
    -Conflict with Advanced SystemCare security tool by IObit or iCloud Control Panel
    Result: These do not appear to be installed on my computer.
    I also found something about Bonjour service, and that some people's similar problems were temporarily resolved when disabling Bonjour and reopening iTunes. I tried this, but it did not make a difference.
    Does anyone have any ideas of what might be causing this? Thanks for the help!

    No error messages are given. It will either freeze while saying "Accessing iTunes Store," or without saying anything at all.
    I'd try the following document:
    Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    (If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

  • Qosmio G30 freezes upon Norton Internet Security 2008 startup

    Norton Internet Security 2008 will freeze my computer as soon it tries to load and the only way to go on is to restart the system by pressing the on/off-button.
    My notebook is a Toshiba Qosmio G30-177 (Model No. PQG32E-02G022GR) with Vista Ultimate and NIS2007 pre-installed. I have no problems with this NIS2008 version on my other notebook (Qosmio F10 - PQF10E-02300JGR, WinXP MCE).
    NIS2007 runs fine on my G30 and I do not have any problems at all, but newer versions of NIS seem to get in conflict with my system:
    1. I am able to install and run the new version, download all updates and adjust the settings. Maybe one or two days later my computer will freeze after start exactly when the tray icon of NIS appears. For a couple of seconds there is just no response of the system at all and the LED's of my notebook show that all HD activity has stopped. After being idle for these couple of seconds, the cooling fan will start to operate at maximum power, creating a tremendous noise I never experienced before, not even while the CPU was running at 100% for some time due to other programs. Forcing a restart is all I can do.
    2. Now this time, I successfully restarted my notebook again (took some attempts) and it suddenly did not freeze. Then I disabled firewall and auto-protect permanently, so there was no freezing upon startup and I just had to manually activate both firewall and auto-protect after start. In order to prevent freezing again after reboot, I always disabled NIS before shutdown. For the next one or two days this workaround was quite successful.
    3. All of a sudden, after one or two days, this workaround is going to become useless, because the system starts to freeze again at the very moment the tray icon appears. In this case, restarting has no effect at all, and NIS will continue to freeze at startup. I also tried to prevent NIS form starting by no longer allowing ccApp.exe to automatically run upon start (administrative tools > system configuration > "startup" tab). This is successful and my notebook is able to start normally, but if I later try to start NIS manually, it will freeze again.
    I had this problem since NIS2008 was just released, so I thought that meanwhile a Windows or Norton update might have fixed the issue, but this weekend I gave NIS2008 another try without success. I am almost sure that the problem is not caused by any other software than Windows and/or Norton, because I also tried to install NIS after a full system recovery, thus having only pre-installed NIS2007 and Vista on my notebook. I did use the Norton removal tool and followed the deinstall instructions before trying to install the newer version of course.
    My last hope was that the NIS2009beta version somehow would not freeze my system, but it does. It does not matter if I try to run 2008 or 2009beta version, the problem is exactly the same.
    What really drives me almost crazy is the fact that NIS runs perfectly for some time, then needs a rather small workaround, and then after some time totally refuses to work. In these couple of days I did not change any system settings, install or deinstall any programs or did anything that I felt could conflict with NIS...
    So far, I have no idea of a solution and have to use NIS2007 again.
    Does anybody know how to solve this problem?

    Hi !
    I use NIS since 2001 and never had any serious trouble with this software.
    There could be some compatibility problem, but I don't think that Vista is causing it, because otherwise a lot more people should have the same problem. Even the installation of all current Windows, NIS and Qosmio updates did not solve it. Of course I tried to get help using Symantec's Support and their user forums, but without success. This problem seems to be a rare one (unfortunately for me). I tested the NIS2009beta and even though it's a new version, the PC freezes again when this program starts. And this made me think that maybe a service or setup by Toshiba causes the problem and other Vista users are not affected. It's a strange thing that the pre-installed NIS2007 version is running fine...
    Cheers,

  • I have a MacBook Pro, it recently started freezing upon startup. It would get to a blue screen and just sit there. I've tried booting in safemode to run disk repair and still doesnt help. If I do manage to get past the blue screen, it still freezes

    My mac keeps freezing upon startup. It will get to the blue screen and promptly freeze. If I manage to get past the blue screen, and open up youtube on google chrome, it will freeze before it loads youtube. I've tried safeboot and disk repair, nothing seems to work. I even tried to factory reset it but it wont connect to my internet when I reboot with power + option.. any ideas?

    This can be used to boot the machine and delelte enough files to get it to boot normally.
    .Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
    Read about storage drive so you can store your extra stuff.
    Most commonly used backup methods
    Also here to see how a full boot drive slows the machine down
    Why is my computer slow?

  • Satellite Pro A210 PSAFHE - Windows 7 - freezes after sleep/hibernate

    I have a Satellite Pro A210 PSAFHE running dual boot Windows XP/7
    Using Windows 7 - either 32 or 64 - the system always freezes after sleep/hibernate.
    This never happens with XP which sleeps and hibernates OK..
    There are no drivers at all for this notebook on the site http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU
    I like System 7 and use it on my other computers but without sleep/hibernate I will revert to XP.

    Hi
    > There are no drivers at all for this notebook on the site http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU
    Sorry mate but you are wrong.
    All Win 7 drivers for Satellite Pro A210 are released on the Toshiba European driver page I recommend checking it again
    Since this issue does not appear using Win XP, I can say for sure that this has nothing to do with the hardware but its a software related issue
    I recommend updating the graphic card driver
    Furthermore there is a new BIOS for Sat Pro A210 PSAFHEits v2.0
    Check if you are using the latest version

  • Work is lost after illustrator freezes and then crashes when copying over to photoshop

    work is lost after illustrator freezes and then crashes when copying items over to photoshop, then when re-opening the illustrator file it gets to the end of reading the file to open then quits again? this keeps happening!

    afrill,
    It seems that you file has become corrupted.
    One thing often tried first is to create a new document and File>Place the corrupted one to see how much may be rescued that way.
    Here is a website where you can see whether it can rescue the file, and if it can, you may pay for a subscription to have it done,
    http://www.recoverytoolbox.com/buy_illustrator.html
    and another similar website,
    http://markzware.com/adobe-software/fix-illustrator-file-unknown-error -occurred-pdf2dtp-file-recovery/
    As far as I remember, the former is for Win and the latter for Mac.
    Here are a few pages about struggling with it yourself:

  • Illustrator Freezes on Launch Everytime I try to open it. Have yet to open it successfully. Ideas?

    I am running OS X 10.8.3 on brand new imac. Photoshop works fine no issues. Illustrator freezes everytime on launch splash screen. Illustrator seems to open fine on my Admin account but when I use my personal account which also has admin privledges I get the freeze everytime. Any ideas on how to get it to work?

    good to know. I will try to create a new user account with same privelidges
    this evening when I get home and let you know how that goes. I have yet to
    install any additional fonts but I do have microsoft office installed which
    I am sure comes with its on set of fonts which could potentially be the
    culprit. However those fonts would be on all user accounts.
    Thank You

  • Illustrator Freezing

    I am using Illustrator CC on a Windows PC, all updates have been complete and I am still having issues with Illustrator freezing. I've made it far enough to open a workspace, but after that it will freeze if I even click inside of the program. Help please!?

    Monika - I can't even get far enough into Illustrator to check what fonts are installed. I do believe both Tahoma and Verdana are installed, however.
