Issues with Elements 4.0 in Mac

I don't know what I accidentally mucked around with, but my Photoshop Elements will no longer read or save .png files, and my Save for Web option is no longer clickable. In addition, it is now taking at least twice as long to open up when I click on it... It seems to stick on the "scanning for presets" message for a decent while.
If whatever I did wasn't irreparable, I'd really love knowing how to fix it. I'm pretty well an idiot when it comes to computers, but I'm pretty decent at following instructions.

First of all, I would go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
com.adobe.Photoshop.Elements.plist
Adobe PSE 4.0 settings
PSE 4.0 paths
Save for web preferences
Opera preferences
Repair permissions and try again.

Slow down issue with Premiere CS4 on a Mac pro

I am having a similar slow down issue with Premiere CS4 on a Mac pro, but I don't have bloated prproj file size.
Here is what I am working with:
Mac Pro intel quad core 2.8ghz
OSX 10.6.7 Snow Leopard
6Gigs RAM
3TB storage between 4 drives, each drive with about 50% free space
I am editing a 10 minute HD video from avchd files. The edited video is very heavy in photoshop files with a variety of different fx including green screen. The system has slowed down to almost a standstill. Anytime I move the playcurser, or try to do any action, it displays the spinning top "thinking" icon and takes 15 seconds to several minutes to unfreeze. I am often forced to force quit and I have gotten unexpected quits several times. The program also freezes on startup frequently.
No other programs are running. When I export with media encoder, it took about 4 hours to complete. The last 4 or so photoshop images I added seemed to tip the program over the edge. It had been slowing down some, but those last few really dropped the processing speed. Before those additions, export took 30 min to 1hr.
I did delete the render files (did not check if the file size was bloated beforehand, oops) but it has not significantly affected my performance.

Do you need all of those extra pixels in the stills? Are you panning the full 4976?
Two things to consider are that if you using, say a 1920 x 1080 Sequence Frame Size, you can only see that at any time, regardless of how large the images are in pixels. If there are extra pixels, i.e. the Pan is not using all 4976 pxls., I would Scale to just what you need in PS, prior to Import.
If you are doing any Scale in PrPro, its Scaling algorithms are not as efficient, as those in PS. [Note: CS5 and 5.5 are a major improvement on that statement.]
With many large stills (the max for CS4 is 4096 x 4096, if there ARE extra pixels, pushing those around will use up resources, and quickly. As a test, some years back, I was working on a "photo wall," and was using 4000 x 4000 images. The workstation had no issues with slowness, until I got to the 5th large still. By the 8th, the Project was too slow to edit. I had to wait for everything. Luckily, I have AE, and it handles large stills much more efficiently, and much differently, than PrPro. I just moved to an AE Comp, and completed the Project, finishing up n PrPro, after I Exported from AE.
Just something to think about. With Scaling in PrPro, this is one time, where bigger is not necessarily better.
Good luck,
Hunt

Crash issues with elements organizer while running Apple OS 10.9 Mavericks

Crash issues with elements organizer while running Apple OS 10.9 Mavericks. Crashes then ask if you want to reopen or not. Also when you are trying to manuver the page with your mouse things go crazy from a full page edit back to viewing all photos on the site and skipping around from picture to picture. Unsusable as it is today!

It is very critical to delete all preferences when you do a major OS X upgrade. You need to go to your username>library>preferences and delete everything pertaining to PSE. To see that library in 10.9, open a finder window, click your user account in the list on the left (the little house with your name), and then click the gear wheel at the top of the window and choose View Options. At the bottom of the list of checkboxes you'll see Library. Turn it on and then you can easily find the preferences folder.

Anyone have a solution to the constant start up issues with a late 2009 I mac

Constant boot issues with a late 2009 I-mac seems like every single time I move, turn off, or look funny at this thing it comes up with a start up disk issue. I am getting extremely tired of this time waster.
My 10 year old G5 is still my go to machine for critical projects as I am never sure if I can rely on the newer model. I am an audio editor for broadcast/as well as an audio engineer in the music studio world.
I purchased the new mac because the last logic pro update would not run on my old machine.(nice marketing apple).
If anyone has had the same issue and possibly come up with a solution your knowledge and assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks In Advance
Troy

Do you have AppleCare? Sounds like it's time to get step-by-step help.

Issues with Flash Pro CS5 on Mac

Hi,
I recently bought a MacBookPro 15", 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3 and CS5 Creative Suite. Built in Intel HD Graphics and NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M.
Hi have some issues with Flash Pro:
- when objects on the stage are quite big (for example a 800x3000 movie clip), it start showing strange colors and wrong position, however when double clicking the movie clip to edit it, it looks correct. Also no problem when publishing. See images attached, the first one is correct, the second one shows the problem, when editing the mc in the 2nd image i get the third image that is correct.
Correct:
Wrong:
After entering editing mode:
- after a while, when making a change in the stage or in the time line (deleting frames for example), it doesn't show it immediately, but i need to refresh the page. This happens more when opening many fla in the same time. Closing and restarting Flash fixes it, for a while.
- after a while it doesn't show when selecting an object, the object looks like is not selected, however i can see that it is in the properties panel. This happens more when opening many fla in the same time. Closing and restarting Flash fixes it, for a while.
Hi have been using CS3 and CS4 with less powerful computers before (always mac) and i never encountered these issues.
Removing preferences and Application support files didn't help. I also updated Flash to v. 11.0.1, but no joy.
Does anyone know what's the problem?
Thanks a lot.
Mike

Based on some searching and testing, it seems that if you redirect ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Flash CS5 to a location on the local hard drive, rather than the network account storage, the problem ceases.
I hope this helps anyone else who may run into this problem.
Take care,
Branden

Performance issues with 10.6/1/2 - Mac hangs every 5 minutes

Hi all,
A recent problem I have started to experience is that my Mac keeps hanging, avery 5-10 minutes the beach ball comes up and freezes the machine; sometimes for 3-5 minutes and it is really frustrating me!
Didn't have any issues with a fresh install of 10.6 or 10.6.1 but it all seems to have started with 10.6.2. Have reinstalled 10.6 then 10.6.1 but now still having the issue.
Any ideas, there isn't anything I have changed other than OS upgrade so am at a loss and becoming incredibly frustrated!
Thanks in advance :0)

Are you having similar symptoms as I am? http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2234792&tstart=0

Any suggestions on how to fix installation issues with iPhoto & iMovie on used Mac mini?

I bought a used, mid 2011, mac min. The selller deauthorized all his applications and resotred it to factory settings for me. When I received it, I added myself as an administrator and deleted the dummy user the seller had created after restoring the OS. The first thing I wanted to do was install applications I already have on my iMac (also running OSX Lion). It would not install iPhoto or iMovie. It said these applications were assigned to a different apple id, the previous owner. I decided to erase the hard drive and reinstall Lion myself. I ran into some snags (due to my internet connection) and had to use recovery thumb drive, but it worked.
I successfully re-installed Lion on the newly formatted hard drive.
I still cannot install iPhoto and iMovie. It just give me an error now. Couriously, it installed Garage Band just fine. I haven't had any other issues with other applications I purchased on my other iMac.
Anyone have any suggestions, besides purchasing iPhoto and iMovie on the mac mini?

Ethernet cord connected to the router solved it. This is exactly what I had to do when I reinstalled the operating system. For some reason my wireless internet is highly inreliable. It drops out constantly. I've always had my iMac hard wired to the router, but I'll have to figure out a fix for this Mac mini. I can't have a 30ft ethernet cord running through the middle of my basement. Thanks.

Is there a Yosemite fix on the horizon? Lots of issues with Adobe CC and even Mac Apps

What is Apple doing about Yosemite issues with Adobe, MSoft and its own apps?

We are Apple, so we don't know.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Slow reloading issue with Safari 5.1.2/Mac OS X 10.6.8

Hello,
I am using Safari 5.1.2 on Mac OS X 10.6.8. I encountered 2 serious problems:
1. some web pages load real slow as slow as taking more than 2 minutes. This behavor seems related to Javascript enabling. If I go to preference/security to uncheck the "enable Javascript", then all page loaded instantly, but any page using Javascript to rander something will miss those things on the page.
2. with the mentioned Safari/Mac OS, if I have multiple windows already openned, open or close one broswer window, all other window will reload or refresh, due to the slowness mentioned above, all window become white with reloading searchball rolling. I also followed other suggestion to set debug menu to uncheck the "use multi-process widnows", that causes frozen system issue. Only when I start a new window from the debug menu item "use single-process Window"，everything seems working fine but that is not desired. I followed some internet suggestion to downgrade the Safari to 5.0.5, I also got the more serious system frozen issue after open some website like cnn.com.
Please let me knwo what is the best approach to resolve the 2 issue above. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
Move the Cache.db from the com.apple.Safari folder file to the Trash, restart your Mac, try Safari.
If that doesn't help, try Safari in another user account. Same problems there, log back into your admin account, launch Disk Utility.
That's located in /Applications/Utilities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If the disk needs repairing follow the instructions for Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks

Issues with Sound Clip.getMicrosecondPosition in Mac OS X

Hi All
I am trying to implement sound player in Java as following.
public void play() throws Exception
        AudioInputStream stream = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream( new FileInputStream(new File(m_path)));
        AudioFormat format = stream.getFormat();
        DataLine.Info info = new DataLine.Info( Clip.class, stream.getFormat(), ((int)stream.getFrameLength()*format.getFrameSize()));
        soundClip = (Clip) AudioSystem.getLine(info);
        soundClip.open(stream);
        soundClip.addLineListener(new LineListener() {
            public void update(LineEvent event) {
                if (event.getType() == LineEvent.Type.STOP)
                    System.out.println("playcomplete event: " + soundClip.getMicrosecondPosition());
               soundClip.start();
    }'soundClip' is instance of javax.sound.sampled.Clip.
After completion of play LineEvent.Type.STOP event is fired.
Method call soundClip.getMicrosecondPosition() displays the proper values in windows but in Mac OSX it always prints 0.
Did any face the similar issue?
Do we have any other approach to know whether the sound play is finished?
Please help me out
Thanks in advance

MacOS is notoriously bad for support for JavaSound as Apple (1) rolls their own JVM (2) doesn't like for things to compete with their products, AKA QuickTime...
Your best bet would be to handle the playing yourself at the Mixer level, and then you'll know you're done playing when you're done writing (plus whatever time it takes to finish playing the buffer, which you can just code a static delay for if you'd like)

Anyone have an issue with spilling liquid on the Mac Book Pro and it won't turn on now?

A liquid was accidentally spilled on the Mac Book Pro and although it didn't appear that much liquid spilled on the computer, it will not start up now. Anyone have an issue like this? Also, the charger will not light up.

Liquids have no place on a MacBook Pro. Even a little bit is going to damage it. Depending on the type of liquid (pure 100% alcohol the best, since it's volatile and non oxidative), the damage is probably permanent. If it's just water, let it dry, and see what happens. If it's something with sugar or salts in it, then you're probably in trouble, because even if they do dry out, the moisture in the air of place like South Florida will hydrate the dried up salts, creating conductive pathways shorting out your computer over and over again.
You can take it to an authorize Apple dealer or Apple itself for repair. There is no warranty coverage. And the cost will probably exceed that of a new MacBook Pro, depending on the age of yours.

Windows 8 Install issues with Elements 6

Does anyone know if Photoshop Elements 6 is compatible with Windows 8. Just got a new PC, and Windows 8 is confusing enough. Now I am running into issues trying to install Elements 6. It just hangs at the installation window

Windows 8 is not the officially supported version for Elements 6. I would suggest that you upgrade to Photoshop Elements 11, which is supported. Apart from all the amazing new features over so many versions, the new upgrade has been redesigned to make the process of editing and organizing photos much simpler.
Thanks,

5G iPod issue with PowerBook vs. Desktop Mac

Is anyone seeing a problem between computers with the sync issue on the 5G 30GB iPod? My sync issue started with my 15-inch PowerBook G4. Wouldn't sync right, kept telling me I had out-of-date software, etc. This same PowerBook worked fine with my nephew's old 2G iPod just a few days ago.
Spent forever on the phone with Apple, who told me to reinstall the iPod software (do a restore if necessary, which I did), iTunes, and Quicktime, in that order. Did that, didn't work. Same problem. Issue is with any purchased music. Won't sync it, gives the "old software" message.
However, I thought I'd try it on another machine, just to see if it would work. Connected it to my G4 MDD (mirror door drive) tower, and would you believe it works? Also, I noticed in the "iPod Options," there are a lot more options there than what was originally showing up on the PowerBook, such as display album art, a bunch more options about video and such.
What gives?! My tower and my PowerBook are both running identical systems, identical software versions, etc. I'm using iPod software 1.0, iTunes 6.0.1(3), QuickTime 7.0.3, OSX 10.4.3, etc. In fact, the PowerBook is actually a little faster (1.5 ghz vs. 1.0Ghz for the tower). Any ideas?
Thanks!
Sherry
