InD CS3 Won't Quit

Am unable to quit InD CS3 without force-quitting. Repaired permissions, etc. Dumped prefs too.
Running 10.5.2 on new Mac Pro 3.2 twin quad cores; 16 gig ram.

Did the s+c+o_c thing... it quits now but takes about a minute of pizza-wheel spinning to fully shut down.
Also tried quitting from "new user" account; same thing; pizza wheel spinning, then shutting down after about a minute or so.

  • Flash CS3 won't quit...

    Flash hangs up and i have to FORCE-QUIT almost every time i
    finish using Flash... why won't it QUIT ?

    I have found the cause of this problem:
    ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Flash
    CS3/en/Configuration/workspacelayout.xml
    workspacelayout.xml seems to got corrupted. Deleting this
    file solved the problem, now I can quit Flash CS3 normally.
    And another related bug has been solved by this action as
    well: I was also unable to save "workspace layout", Flash CS3 just
    hang up by trying to save a layout.
    BTW: this is for Mac OS X 10.4.11 but it should be
    appropriate for other systems, maybe even for Windows.
    Hope this helps.

  • InD CS3 on i7 MacBook Pro?

    I'm transitioning from a Core Duo MacBook to this newer i7 processor and need to install InD CS3.
    Apparently I must deactivate it on the old Mac before I can install it on the new one.  This is making me really uncomfortable because I'm not certain it will work.
    I do have Rosetta, am running Snow Leopard.  Do have an activated license for InD CS3.
    Is this really going to be OK?  What do I do if it isn't and then I can't activate it back on the old computer?
    adobe support refuses to grant me any time to make sure it will be OK before I deactivate on the old Mac.  Already spent 45 minutes on the phone with them the other day.
    Need reassurance and a heads up for any possible problems I might encounter.
    Thanks.

    It might be possible that your Snow Leopard running under Rosetta ID CS3 is the problem.
    You could try calling support again. Demand to escalate the call to a supervisor or manager, because of previous unsatisfactory assistance on this issue. If you have a case number, that will help move things along. If not, get a case number before demanding escalation. Give the case number to the supervisor, so they can review the issue. The core of the issue is "Is ID CS3 supported on Snow Leopard?" If "yes," the follow-up is "What i Snow Leopard is frunning under Rosetta that's running under my new computer's current operating system, which is <name of the OS>?"
    It helps to always get the agent's name, as well as a case number. It also helps to say, "I don't mean to be rude, but I don't want to waste your time or mine. I don't think you have been trained to handle this problem, so please escalate me to someone who does have the proper training and experience. Thanks."
    If the first manager can't or won't help, demand escalation to that person's manager, and repeat the escalation until you get a definitive result.
    You can also try searching Google with terms like "InDesign CS3 rosetta <what operating system rosetta is running under>"

  • Help! My CS3 won't open RAW files from my Canon EOS 7D..

    I have always used Photoshop CS3 - I like it and am quick with it, and I shoot RAW files on Canon EOS.
    I don't want to upgrade to CS5, however since upgrading my camera to a 7D, Photoshop will no longer
    open my RAW files. I've tried to update plug-ins, I've tried to work through DNG [it won't open those either]
    and I've tried for hours on end to get an answer from Adobe on the phone. Nothing is working. Does anyone
    have any advice for me please? I'm begining to tear my hair out!! Emma

    Hi,
    Are you saying your Ps CS3 won't even open the sample DNG file (/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS3/Samples/Doors.dng)? If that's the case then you need to make sure you have the correct Camera Raw 4 plug-in installed properly.
    If it is just DNGs generated from your 7D files, then maybe the DNG Converter options need to be tweaked.

  • I've tried to troubleshoot downloading Firefox but it won't open on Windows XP. The Firefox Update box with the hour glass symbol runs for hours. Then I have trouble even shutting down. When I click on Firefox, no window, program won't quit, etc....

    Windows XP. I used to use Firefox and it worked okay. I'm not sure why I downloaded a new version but it won't open. The window that says "Firefox Update" continues to try to load. Hour glass symbol, for hours. If I try to click on the Desktop symbol, Nothing. Then when I try to shut down, it's slow, programs won't quit, or it freezes. I've removed Firefox completely and tried downloading again with the same results. Even with the latest version. Shit. Whassup?

    Hi zenithtwc, to test whether this is a settings issue, could you do a three-minute experiment?
    '''Create a new Firefox profile'''
    A new profile will have your system-installed plugins (e.g., Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions, or other customizations. It also should have completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder.
    Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run):
    firefox.exe -P
    ''Don't delete anything here.'' Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.
    Click the Create Profile button, assign a name like Test731, and skip the option to change the folder location. Then start Firefox in the new profile you created.
    Can it reach the internet?
    When returning to the Profile Manager, you might be tempted to use the Delete Profile button. But... it's a bit too easy to accidentally delete your "real" profile, so I recommend resisting the temptation. If you do want to clean up later, I suggest making a backup of all your profiles first in case something were to go wrong.

  • IPhoto 09 Faces wheel spins forever and/or won't quit

    Hope someone has insight or it helps others...
    For the last several days any import into iPhoto will set it into spinning the Faces album waiting wheel forever. There is no way to Quit. Other times just simple quitting won't work.
    Activity shows 40-50% iPhoto CPU usage, lots of context switches (270,000 in 5 minutes of CPU time) but no hangs, no faults. I have previously let it run overnight, in case it was somehow reanalyzing 18000 images, but even then the problem remains.
    Console shows: 10/12/09 3:55:58 PM iPhoto[653] * -[NSPathStore2 getCharacters:range:]: index (8) beyond bounds (3)
    as most recent item from iPhoto in the log.
    Looking inside the iPhoto Library folder the face.db database, iPhotoMain.db etc. have no activity going on. ( I tested by changing the face info on one picture, the Finder last modified date immediately changed, showing the processes are running fine, but just some runaway process won't quit.)
    Another console item showed iPhoto finding wrong architectured PGP plugin in contextual menu items, so I have trashed that. And, it finds a Chronos Notes related issue (contextual menu item in library and same named alias in user/library) throw an exception. I also informed ChronosNet.com of this....in case the recent iPhoto acting up is related to the SOHO update that was recently installed.
    "I've had iPhoto start acting up (fails to quit) since SOHO NOTES latest update... checking the Console shows a possible problem....
    You have a contextual menu entry (alias) in user/library and same name (original item) in library. That makes apps like iPhoto throw exceptions...
    10/12/09 4:29:33 PM [0x0-0x40040].com.apple.iPhoto[653] objc[653]: Class SBContextualMenuHelper is implemented in both /Users/imran/Library/Contextual Menu Items/ChronosNotesCM.plugin/Contents/MacOS/ChronosNotesCM and /Library/Contextual Menu Items/ChronosNotesCM.plugin/Contents/MacOS/ChronosNotesCM. One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined."
    Let's see what they state.
    Now.... Force quitting now to see what it shows in the logs:
    It did not show any quick console messages. I'm surprised an OS X "report this crash to Apple" window did not open up.
    Now relaunched... will see if it happens again...
    Imran

    iPhone is not "hung" in the traditional sense in that you can do several things within it while it's non-stop Faces spinning wheel displays. I do NOT find it responsive and it does NOT Quit when Faces is spinning forever. tgardner, your experience appears to be different.
    Checking in Activity Monitor shows that interestingly there are no hangs or errors. But, looking into contents of iPhoto library shows NO files are modified even after 24 hours or running. In other words, maybe it's not dead, but it is comatose.
    Also, checking in Console I always see a variable out of bounds error when this happens.
    I have 19000 images and of those maybe 5000 have faces, of about 50 people. ALL of those images are already processed with Names info. Even if Faces needs to update some data, 24 hours of nothing but iPhoto running ought to be enough but it is not.
    Others may want to check Console and Activity Monitor and add their experiences here.

  • Mail.app using 80% CPU and won't quit - any ideas?

    Hi, I'll try and cut a short story shorter...
    I tried to begin using Mail.app last night instead of Entourage and Thunderbird just to see what it was like. Having never used mail.app before, I use the bundled import wizard to retrieve the settings from the Entourage account (POP, wifes ISP account) which seemed to work ok. I didn't test at this point as I have another account (POP again, my gMail) stored on Thunderbird which I also wanted to import.
    To import the mailboxs from Thunderbird I copied the relevant folders from the ~\Library...\myprofile\... folder to the desktop and added the .mbox extension. Then used the import wizard 'other' option to bring them in.
    All seemed to go ok. I recreated my 'other' account manually and sent/received some test mails etc. then marked everyting in all mailboxes as read.
    At this point the laptop went very slow so I checked Activity Viewer - this showed Mail.app hovering between 70% - 80%. I thought this was a bit odd so I tried to Quit Mail, but it just hung. I then force quit and the CPU calms down.
    I opened Mail again and it was ok for about 3 minutes until I try to view various mailboxes. Mail is still responsive but the mailboxes are empty! I use the rebuild function and they show the messages again, unless I look at a different one and then go back to the rebuilt mailbox - it's empty again.
    Then the CPU/won't quit happened again. CPU is up at the same levels, Mail.app has 7 threads. I thought there may be some indexing going on so I went to bed. I got up this morning to find the G4 fans going crazy and CPU still consuming the CPU?
    Any ideas?
    I'm thinking I may trash both accounts and rebuild from scratch tonight.

    Hi Ian.
    Aside from whatever the problem is here (which I don't really know), you shouldn't add an .mbox extension to mbox files in order to import them into Mail. Mail uses that extension for something else. Also, you'd get better results using Eudora Mailbox Cleaner to do the conversion.

  • Print Proxy Queue Won't Quit

    On my Brother MFC connected by USB, the printer proxy app won't quit after the print job ends, and you have to click the proxy app's icon in the Dock, then quit the app manually. (You have to close it, as the computer won't sleep by itself after x amount of time if the proxy app is left open.)
    This is only intermittent. You can tell in advance if this is going to happen by not seeing a little piece of paper icon superimposed over the printer proxy app's icon in the Dock. No piece of paper icon = proxy app won't quit.
    Tried reinstalling all drivers, archive/reinstall, using Printer Setup Repair to "reset the printing system," permissions, Cocktail to deep clean caches including printer caches, all to no avail. New printing cables, connected directly without a hub. Happened on my HP LaserJet 3330 which died, and now on my Brother MFC-2070. Happened when I was using a Titanium laptop also, before the current G4 tower. Happens across many apps, although Office seems to provoke it more frequently.
    Ideas anyone, short of trying a totally clean install and reinstalling all apps an drivers from scratch to see if that helps? The OS install I'm working on is back from 10.2.0, and has been upgraded and archive/reinstalled multiple times, and has been used on multiple computers over the years. My Word 2004 Normal template dates back to Word 5.1 and has been converted/upgraded several times (6.0, 98, 2001, X, 2004; could this be a culprit as well); should I rebuild it from scratch (hours and hours of work there, many custom menus, etc).

  • Premiere Pro CC slows down, then  stops working, then won't work, then it won't quit

    Premiere Pro CC slows down, then  stops working, then won't work, then it won't quit. So I have to force quit every time.
    It does not matter if I am working with HD or 4K - same thing happens.
    This began happening about a week ago. Nothing really new has changed. I tried to repair permissions and check this from a new admin account because I know that is what Adobe thinks the answer to every problem is. But it did not change anything.

    Hope it works for you too.

  • CS3 won't print

    I've suddenly run into a situation where PS CS3 won't print. The Print dialog comes up as usual, but after making the selections and hitting Print, the print job never makes it to the printer(s).I'm using Epson printers and running Mac OSX Leopard. I can print to the printers from other applications, and even from PS CS2. I've checked my scratch disk for space, so the images can be spooled, and have plenty of RAM available. The size of the images doesn't seem to matter.
    I recently upgraded to the latest CUPS drivers, but I don't think that should affect PS. Epson says that the printers have built in support in Leopard, so no individual drivers can be downloaded. I would think that PS would be using thebult in drivers that shiop with the OS and not the Gutenprint drivers, anyway.
    Has anyone had this problem before, or a solution?
    Thanks in advance
    William

    CUPS and Gutenprint are two different animals, though the former is needed to use the latter.
    You'll find the uninstaller here:
    http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php
    CAUTIONARY NOTE for CS4 users: If you have an Epson printer model for which Epson does not offer a 16-bit printer driver (for instance the Epson 2200 don't know of any others off-hand)), the latest version of Gutenprint, 5.2.2, will allow you to use 16-bit printing in Tiger and Leopard. In that case, you may definitely want to keep Gutenprint. I've been running it with no problems for about a week.
    Gutenprint 5.2.2, released some two weeks ago, appears very stable and offers several bug fixes from earlier Gutenprint 5.2.x releases.
    On the other hand, don't take this as a riniging endorsement of 16-bit printing (yet) if you're not already experimenting with it. I'm very happy with preliminary results, but it does slow printing considerably, as you're sending an awful lot more information to the printer. :)

  • When iTunes won't quit

    I was having a problem where iTunes would not quit and stay quit. Even Force quit would only work for a second or two, then iTunes would restart. I tried several suggestions here, but none of them worked. Instead when I googled "iTunes won't quit" I found an answer on the blog The Mac Track (http://themactrack.com/2008/05/27/tip-if-itunes-wont-quit)
    He suggested opening the activity monitor then quitting the process genredetection.
    When I went to the activity monitor, I saw I had two genredetection processes operating. I stopped both of them. iTunes went back to normal.
    The blogger's source of the process was iWow. I don't have that, and don't know which application generated the process on my computer. I do now know how to fix the results.
    I thought I would pass this on for others.

    Excellent tip, thank you! I quit all the helper processes "orbiting" iTunes, but when all the usual suspects were already quit and I was out of ideas, going on a genredetection massacre did the trick!

  • IND CS3 and Acrobat 9 Pro

    I am working in IND CS3 version 5.0.4 and Acrobat 9 Pro version 9.0.0
    Computer: Windows XP Pro, Ver.2002, SP 3
    Dell Optiplex GX 620, Pent. D 3GHZ, 3.50GB RAM
    Question:
    I am new to the PC environment and have noticed that everytime I double-click an IND CS3 document to open it my computer freezes and then opens it in Acrobat 9 Pro as a PDF. Also noticed that I can't drag a PDF to the shortcut on desktop for Acrobat to open PDFs.
    Anyone know why these things happen?
    Thanks for any help.
    Andy

    Check your file associations - they are in two places. Windows Folders and in Bridge. In Windows go to Control Panel. Find Folder Options. Go to File Type. Find indd and make sure it defaults to Indesign.exe. With PDF find Acrobat*.exe

  • Mail stops receiving mail and then won't quit

    Since I upgraded to Leopard I have been force quitting Mail. It seems to be associated with .Mac. I open up the activities window and there is always some e-mail stuck receiving in there. When this happens, no more mail is received and the application won't quit. I notice that it also happens if I go to sleep or I switch users.
    I have disabled all rules.
    I have emptied all mailboxes.
    I turned off growl notifications.
    I have enough space on .Mac.
    I have extended the check mail time.
    Honestly, it is pretty annoying. Anyone having this issue?

    do you have any other plugin or input manager or transfer of data from Mail to something else running with mail by any chance?
    If yes, then you may want to disable and try again.
    If no, then have you tried deleting and re-creating your .mac account and see if you still have the same issue?
    If that does not solve it, have you tried logging in with a different user account onto your computer, and then setting up your .mac account in Mail and trying to send. If you get the same issues then it may hint at app/system related issues, if you send/receive without an issue then it might be a user specific issue.
    If user specific issue I would repair permissions - applications>utilities>disk utility and repair permissions.
    hope this helps
