ITunes 11.1 freezing when trying to edit preferences

After updating to 11.1, so I could update my iPhone to iOS 7, iTunes now freezes every time i try to edit preferences. As soon as I click Edit -> Preferences iTunes freezes. I must Ctrl-Alt-Del to end the program. I am using a Windows 7, Dell computer. Everything else seems to work prefectly until I click Preferences.
Does anyone else have this problem? Has anyone solved this problem? Any ideas howlong it takes Apple to solve these kinds of problems?

Even though no one replied, i fixed my problem.
Don't know if it will work for anyone else with similar problem
but all I did was a CHKDSK then a defragment of my laptop and now everything seems to be working fine.

Acrobat Pro 9 freezes when trying to edit preferences

I have Acrobat Pro 9.3.4
When I try to Edit-> Preferences, the application locks up. It eventually goes to 'not responding" and I have to kill it using Task Manager.
I found this problem when I was troubleshooting a customer's issue where he could not Extract pages from a PDF document. The Extract window would come up, he would put in the pages he wanted and start the process. It would act like its going through the motions but nothing would happen and he would have to open task manager to stop the Acrobat process.
I was able to duplicate the problem with my Administrator account. I also found the same problem when I tried to go to Edit > Preferences. Acrobat went into a not responding state and I had to kill the process using Task Manager.
I have verified that the problem is not document specific: It happens on multiple documents. If I copy the document to another machine with Acrobat Pro 9, I have no problem Extracting pages.
I have uninstalled Acrobat Pro 9. That included removing c:\program files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\acrobat* and c:\program files\common files\Adobe\Acrobat\* I rebooted the computer and then reinstalled Adobe Acrobat Pro 9. Same problem for both my regular and my administrator accounts.
I have compared permissions and registry entries between this machine and one where its working but have not found any differences.
Any suggestions on what else to try would be greatly appreciated.

You would think. However, repairing Adobe, uninstalling (including deleting registry entries, c:\program files\common files\Adobe\Acrobat\* and c:\program files\Adobe\* , etc) did not resolve the issue.

Do you have any capture cards in the computer? For example, Blackmagic, Aja, Matrox, CineForm, etc.
If so, it's software might be causing the problem. Go to "Programs And Features" in the Vista Control Panel to remove the software for the capture card. Restart the computer and then try again.
Did you install any plug-ins for Premiere?
If so, remove them and see if the problem goes away.
Also, where are you saving your projects? Try saving one to your Desktop and see if you still have the problem. If you don't, then it could be a problem with your save location.

Crystal Reports freezing when trying to edit a formula

When creating a new report or modifying a current report, if I select a formula and click on Edit the applicatiojn freezes. Also, if I try to do anything with the database connection it also freezes. This just started happining yesterday out of the blue. Using Crystal Reports 2008.
Already tried to uninstall/nstall CR with no luck. Unable to do virtually anything with CR.

Just out of curiosity, might Crystal have been run by the same user with a very wide or dual head monitor setup (and you're on a smaller monitor)?
Crystal will display all dialogs where it was last displayed. If you run Crystal on a dual head system, drag a dialog to the far right, then run Crystal on a single head system and bring up the same dialog, it will look like Crystal has frozen (no response), but in actuality, it's waiting for input on the non-existent monitor! Generally, pressing the Escape key will close the dialog.
Crystal stores the location of dialogs in the System Registry. You can remove the entry for the given dialog and Crystal will revert to a "default" location. (Modify the registry at your own risk...) I don't recall the registry keys for these, but there are other posts (fairly old now) that has it. Searching the forum for "dual monitor" and similar, together with "system registry" should do it, I'd think...
There is a request in to have Crystal ensure dialogs are on the current desktop.
HTH,
Carl

Freezing when trying to edit photo page

I am a longtime user of iWeb and have never had an issue. However today, in trying to update my web page, it began to freeze
I can edit every page except a photo page. The moment that I toggle to that page, it hangs up and I need to force quit.
I have already deleted the "plist" files and emptied the cache and rebooted. This did not affect the situation. In this situation, my ultimate goal is to delete the page, as I am a teacher and the new year is upon us.
Any advice for the deletion of that page would be greatly appreciated.
nick

From the iWeb File menu select New Site: Shift - command - N
Choose a template and a blank page and then click the "Choose" button
A new site named "Site" is created along with a blank page.
In the left column of iWeb, drag the Photo page down to "Site".
Select "Site" and press your delete button.
"Site" is deleted along with the Photo page.
The original site is left intact minus the Photo page.

Freezing when trying to edit

If I open adobe and simply leave it on, its fine, look at menu, options, etc...
If I open one of my projects, it takes about a full ten seconds to load, which is fairly high actually. Then, if I try to edit the timeline or click on any of the imported files, the program freezes up, eternally. It worked fine just 4 hours ago, and I didn't do anything to my computer since then.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

Captivate 7 freezing when trying to edit spelling preferences?

It's really as simple as the title says. My version of Captivate 7 freezes everytime I open spelling options?
I'm using the Mac version.
Has anyone else had this problem? Am I missing some files, or something?

Hi nic_murdock, Can you check whether you have "Linguistics" folder created under "/Library/Application Support/Adobe"? if not, can you do the following steps
Close Captivate if it is open.
Step 1
Open finder
Open the Go menu and select “Go to Folder”
Type in /Library/Application Support/Adobe and click on Go button
Create a new folder and call it Linguistics
Inside the Linguistics folder, create another folder and call it 6.0
Leave this open. We will come back to it
Step 2
Open new finder window (File->New Finder Window)
Open the Go menu and select “Go to Folder”
Type in /Applications/Adobe Captivate 7/required/Plug-Ins/mac/Linguistics and click on Go button
Select the 2 folders LanguageNames2 and Providers and copy them
Go back to the other finder window which we opened earlier in Step 1 and paste it inside the folder 6.0
Launch Captivate and check the spelling preferences.
Let us know if this still doesn't resolve the issue. You can send a mail to me at sankaram at adobe dot com.
P.S : All the folder names are in bold.
Thanks,
Sankaram.

Freezing when trying to select preferences and others

Hi,
Logic Express 7.0.1 will not allow me to select from the following menu items:
-preferences
-song settings
-audio hardware and drivers,
each inducing the spinning beach ball of misery and me having to force quit. I have only just noticed this problem and recall being able to access the preferences in the past.
At the moment I am calm but a seething rage is quietly developing in my breast.
I have:
-trashed preferences
-re-installed Logic
-ran Disk Warrior
-repaired permissions
-changed my Hard Disc name back to original name
I'm getting annoyed. Where should I go from here, what should I do?
Cheers,
johnbone

This update fixed the issue:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/proapplicationsupport31macosx104.html
Pro Application Support 3.1 (Mac OS X 10.4)
I wonder why I wasn't aware of the need to update and why Apple is no longer offering a crossgrade to LE 7.2. A bit sus if you ask me.

TS1717 iTunes freezes when trying to import a CD

Please help!
My iTunes freezes when trying to import a CD
This also happens in safe mode
My driver is up to date

We had the same issue. Backtracking, it turned out that it began after our techie updated our home network - for whatever reason, the main computer no longer holds the LAN settings properly after being restarted.
It's an easy fix (until he gets back from the west coast and can fix it permanently): after I boot the computer each day, I open IE, go to "tools" - "internet options" - "connections" - "LAN settings" - check "automatically detect" and uncheck "use proxy server."
Once I do that, CDDB comes up wonderfully and imports all the data I need.

ITunes freezes when trying to access "burning" tab in advanced preferences

iTunes freezes when trying to access "burning" tab in advanced preferences and also when attempting to hit burn cd button in lower left corner.

Thank you SO much!!! This is Exactly the problem I was having. I have spent untold hours in the last couple of days trying to resolve not only iTunes freezing up, but my network connectivity went bust as well. I like Blink so I'm undecided about whether to uninstall it yet, so I just disabled all of its firewall settings, and presto!... I can not only get my CD/DVD player to read and burn CD's, but iTunes and my computer remain functional. I got my computer to reconnect to the internet by doing a System Restore at a point prior to my trying to burn a CD. Thanks again so much. You saved my entire week!

Upgraded to 10.5 on windows 7. now itunes freezes when trying to download old apps. any solutions?

10.5 upgrade erased apps & books from ipad. itunes freezes when trying to download from windows 7 computer. Any suggestions?

I am using Window Vista 32bit and have the same problem. After trying uninstall, reinstall, ccclean registry, over and over again and still cannot install itune 10.5. And finally concluded that this might be a registry corruption problem. The following steps is what I did to fix the registry isssue and get my itune 10.5 installed.
- Run Window update - and check the history file, if you see some failures in previous updates, there is something wrong with the registry.
- un-install all the apple related software (itune, safari, boujour, apple update, etc).
- For Vista 32bit, go to the following link and run the script to clean up the registry. I am not sure if other WIndow OS will work or not.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Windows-Update-Error-8000FFFF
- run the Fix-it script. you have to select the Agressive mode (even thou the pop up window advise not to do this) in order to clean up the registry. When I try without checking the box, and it did not fix the problem.
- reboot PC
- Run window update. It will discover a lot of old updates that need to be installed (I suspect that the fix it script delete a lot of stuff in the registry and removed previous updates). I got 53 updates that need to install.
- run the update and wait for a longtime (mine took ~2 hours).
- reboot PC
- run cccleaner
- reboot PC
- install itune 10.5
Now it works. Hopefully other window OS has similar step to fix this. I can only say it works for me using window Vista 32bit. and so far, my PC works correctly.

Lightroom 2.6 freezes when trying to export images

I have been using LR successfully on a Windows XP machine for several years and using version 2.6 for the past several weeks . As of a few days ago, LR would freeze when trying to export images. The export functions of 'Export with Previous' and 'Export with Preset' seem to work without crashing LR but most of my exporting needs me the ability to adjust the export settings. Any advise?

I would guess LR only goes by drive-letter so if you've kept that the same it should be ok. Look for something else.
I would look in your Lightroom Preferences files to see if there is any drive letter that no longer exists.
On Vista/Win7 my LR prefs file is in:
C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Preferences
XP has something similar under C:\Documents and Settings\Local Settings (or Application Data)
If you open that file in a simple text-editor like NotePad then about halfway down (at least in mine) there are some export-related things that include the drive-letter and path on your hard-drive to various folders. You can find it by searching for:
AgMRUPopupList_AgExport_destinationFolderPathPrefix
Look through those and see if any of the drive-letters or paths are wrong and look around for other paths. The paths will contain
or
instead of \ because the low-level language routines LR is written with need it that way so if you change anything, keep the number of slashes consistent.
It could very well be that there is nothing wrong with any of the paths, so another approach would be to rename or move your preferences file to see if LR will recreate it with defaults for everything, and see if that clears up the lockups.
Whether you decided to edit or rename your preferences file, please make a backup copy so you can put it back in case something even worse happens and you need it back.

I am using Lightroom 5 and am hapy about it, but recently I hav encountered a problem when trying to edit an image in another program, i.e. Elements. I used the clone tool, saved the result and went back to Lightroom to open the image there. I did find a second copy, but this is identic with the one I already had in Lightroom, and I can see noe result of the clone process.

At the moment I would say it is uncertain whether Acrobat is completely ignoring the change, or whether the changes you are making aren't affecting the ink density. I have a suggestion for a test you could make to see which is the case.
When editing in Photoshop just add a box or mark on the image, for your tests.
- If this box does not appear in Acrobat, you know Acrobat is not seeing the edit
- If this box does appear in Acrobat, you know the problem is that your tool for changing ink densities is not taking effect.
