Mavervick OSx with font smoothing error. Crashes Photoshop

I keep getting the error message "For the Photoshop UI to display correctly, open System Preferences, click Appearance, and turn off text smoothing for font sizes 8 and smaller." I go into preferences and into general but there is no setting to turn off text smoothing for a specific font. I'm in osx mavericks and all it says is "use lsd font smoothing when available" and when I uncheck it, the error message in photoshop still pops up. Can someone help please?

That isn't an error message, just an information message.
And what does the long, detailed crash report say?

Help with font smoothing / rendering

Hi,
I recently upgraded from Leopard (10.5.8) to Snow Leopard (10.6), updated it to 10.6.4 yesterday. Font smoothing or rendering turned bad ever since the SL upgrade. I did these two things so far:
1. Resolved all the duplicate fonts in Font Book (there were many).
2. defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain AppleFontSmoothing -int 2
Rebooted the machine. I still feel the fonts are looking ugly. Here are the screenshots:

Please help. I can't afford to do clean installation of SL now at this point

Hi,
I have exactly the same problem. Validated all my fonts cleaned out font cache but unfortunately nothing helped.
What else can it be?
Could you tell me what exactly you did?

Help with AE CS6 error: crash in progress

Hello,
I get this error every time I try to create a new folder in the "output to" window in the render tab.
I've never ran into it prior to today.
The composition is a 12 second title with an animation preset - In Hebrew (if it matters for some reason).
I'm trying to render in mpeg2 with default settings but it happens even when trying other formats such as H.264, and the error occurs when attempting to create a new folder
The AE is part of my Production Premium CS6 and I'm using Windows 7 64bit Ultimate.
Anyone have an Idea of how to fix this error?
THank you,
Ariel

Hi Todd,
Thanks for the prompt reply : )
Well, first of all I'm using the automatic updates and actually I just recently had one installed (I'm asking for notifications). (B.t.w- where can I check which updates are installed on my Adobe products)
I don't think it has anything to do with the Hebrew (I never use Hebrew in file paths' names) and I also have an update- Premiere cs6 also crushes when I try to create a new folder in the exprot window. No message like after effects though.
This only happens when attempting to create a new folder - otherwise export works fine.

Even though I have LCD font smoothing disabled, Mountain Lion still uses it in PDF views, Safari's location bar, Mail's message view, and the dialogs for mounting encrypted disk images.

Even though I have LCD font smoothing disabled, Mountain Lion still uses it in PDF views, Safari’s location bar, Mail’s message view, and the dialogs for mounting encrypted disk images. Is there any solution to this problem? Also diabled the Smoothing in the SystemPrefs and also via Terminal. Font smoothing is still there. Very annoying, especially in PDF attachments in Apple Mail.

Try feeding Safari a user-defined CSS file with font-smoothing tweaks (including none). The filename and its filesystem location are arbitrary. Use your favorite coding editor.
Safari > Preferences > Advanced > Style Sheet:
Here is an example with all elements uncommented. Pick the one that works best for your Safari viewing and comment out the others:
Preview. Try Preview > Preferences > PDF > Smooth text and line art (uncheck)

Asking for assistance with the above topic

I got it working with the help of Live Chat tech support. There was some sort of error happening with my graphics driver... something that was not a problem with my previous version of Photoshop was now a problem with the new version. I updated the graphic card driver and software via the manufacturer's website and that helped me get through.
After updating the driver... at first it felt like I was going backward a bit... I got an expired trial period error again on opening Photoshop the first time, but then I tried again logging out and logging back in to CC as noted previously ( http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/cc-applications-crash-immediately- launch.html ) ... and this time that helped fix the trial error and this time that was not followed by crashing (thanks to the graphics driver update).
I have an ATI Radeon HD 5670 graphics card. The previous version of the driver I was running did not work with Photoshop CC. I have now updated the driver to version 12.104.0.0 and everything is working now.
Thanks to the Live Chat technician who quickly identified my graphics card as the issue!

PhotoShop 7 crashes at startup with a fatal error in Leopard

I just installed Leopard and now I cannot use PhotoShop 7. Since I cannot afford the outragous upgrade to CS3 does this mean I am stuck with no photo editing ? I Love Leopard but I really need to work in PhotoShop, I am regretting the upgrade now
When I try to start PhotoShop I get the message : " An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred because of a program error. PhotoShop will now exit."
Has anyone seen this? and do you think an reinstall of PhotoSHop will fix it? it worked fine b4 the Leopard Upgrade.

Reinstall can't fix it.I try it before read your article.It's always say:"An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred because of a program error. PhotoShop will now exit."

Moving anchor point with arrow keys crashes Photoshop CC

Hey guys,
I've recently run into this bug many times while working with shapes. Don't really know what initiates it but it's super annoying as it crashes the PS CC completely without possiblity of recovering the unsaved files.
The bug appears while working with shapes after file is saved and reopened. Because I use to design pixel-perfect UIs, I work with arrow keys a lot to be sure every pixel is in the right place. So after selecting one or more anchor points of shape and hitting any arrow key (to move it by pixel), photoshop immediately crashes with this super-long description of bug: http://justpaste.it/ccshapecrash
Dunno why but this occurs very often when handling 1px-thin rectangles.
Is it only me or has anybody else experienced this as well? Any idea what exactly is causing it or what might be wrong with my config?
Never seen that kind of error in Photoshop before. It completely destroys my everyday workflow

I have exactly the same problem and I don't have any solution. I was tried to update the latest video drivers - nothing! Tried to update Photoshop which updates fixes bugs - nothing! The problem continues.
My OS is Windows 8 64bit, video card Nvidia GT 630. For the case, my Photoshop 32x works better (faster) than the 64x. Why is that ? I hope to have a solution.

Font smoothing under OSX -- revisited

Under OS9, there's a window where the font smoothing is turned OFF. This is needed to print out music so both the note heads and the note stems will print. (With the font smoothing, only the note heads print.)
I can't find anyplace to turn OFF the font smoothing totally, so I can get my music printed, under the OS 10.3.9 system. When I posted this in 2005, someone suggested to look at the Appearance menu under the System Preferences, however that only talks about turning off the font smoothing for different sizes of font. I need it turned OFF totally! Any other suggestions?

Hi,
TinkerTool gives you the option to turn if off.

""selected font failed during last operation." and " there is a problem with generator" application error

For PSDs I have created in older versions of Photoshop CC 2014 I am getting errors when opening / trying to save. They seem to be either Generator or font related. Interestingly, PSDs created in newer versions of PS CC 2014 have no issues, even when using same fonts.
I am getting the error messages:
When I open the older PSD files, (again created or saved in older versions of PS CC 2014) I am asked to update fonts. If I do I get the error.
'Selected font failed during last operation'
When I try to don't try to update fonts and then I try to play with the file I get the following error.
'There is a problem with Generator. Please quit Photoshop and try again. If the problem persists, remove any third-party plugins or try re-installing photoshop.
I don't have any third party plugins that I can see.
I have re-installed multiple times.
I need to use this program and I am paying for your services. I am actually on the phone now with 'help desk' and have been on hold for 22 minutes.
Please Help

When I installed the Apple programs, mobile device application did not uninstall by itself. I had to go to c://program files/common files/apple/mobile device application (or something like that) and manually delete the contents and the folders. I have a 64 bit version so I also had to visit c://program files (x86)/common files/apple/mobile application device (or similar) and also manually delete the files and folders. I had to delete the files before I could delete the folders. This manual part is probably tripping everyone up, because it's not as easy as simply hitting uninstall in the control panel. But the instructions are there. I hope this helps you.

Why does my itunes crash after start up with an "APPCRASH" error every time i open it?! I have been trying to fix this for weeks but all i can do it re-install it every other day which does nothing! I am desperate to get access to my itunes to get music on my phone and all of this just makes me want me to sell my iphone since there is no other way to add music to my phone. If things go get sorted soon you can say goodbye to my support.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

ITunes won't connect to iTunes Store with my Apple ID and repeatedly crashes with "An unknown error occurred (-50)."

I've been unable to use iTunes for over 3 weeks now.
Initially, it would prompt me to Sign In with my Apple ID and password each time it tried to start, and when I clicked Sign In, it'd respond with variations of:
    "Your device or computer could not be verified. Contact support for assistance."
    or
    De-authorize/Authorize.
Frustrated, I'd click Cancel, and it'd crash with:
    "An unknown error occurred (-1008)."
    or
    "An unknown error occurred (-50)."
More recently, I don't even get the Sign In prompt any more. iTunes now just crashes immediately with unknown error (-50) as soon as it tries to start.
It is clear that this issue has more to do with the Apple ID than with iTunes specifically, because some of the apps I purchased directly from the App Store (OmniFocus, Fantastical and Forismatic) now prompt me to Sign In with my Apple ID and password each time they try to start, and they never did before. And when I try to sign, they respond with the error:
     "Your device or computer could not be verified. Contact support for assistance."
Apparently, this is an issue a whole lot of people are experiencing, judging by the long list of Google search returns on the subject; but I'm yet to find a definitive, "official" Apple solution to the problem.
My Apple ID is the same as it's always been.
If anyone knows what's really causing this and/or can offer a fix, please H-E-E-E-L-P? I'll even pay to make it go away. I abandoned Windows after 26 years, only to discover that no platform is spared the blackhole of unknown errors.

- firefox crashes every time i try to browse for a file (fileupload form).
- nautilus --no-desktop crashes also before the gui is loaded with the same error output.
- same to brasero
- same to gnomebaker
- evince crashes on open/file (again when browser should be opened)
thunar works, seems there is a problem with nautilus or any gnome's lib
on my another pc also running arch, there are no such problems.. would be great if anyone would help.
every hint is welcome, since i'm pretty frustrated.. google and irc didn't help.
thank you in advance

Hi
I experience a very similar problem.
Whenever I insert a blank CDrom or a blank dvd some applications crash that somehow access the dvd drive. these are brasero or listen, that I'm aware of, for the moment.
others like gnome-baker do fine. nautilus as well is doing fine.
brasero:
(brasero:25610): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_simple_async_result_set_from_error: assertion `error != NULL' failed
(brasero:25610): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_error_free: assertion `error != NULL' failed

Segmentation fault
listen does:
(listen.py:25694): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_simple_async_result_set_from_error: assertion `error != NULL' failed
sys:1: Warning: g_error_free: assertion `error != NULL' failed

/usr/bin/listen: line 1: 25694 Segmentation fault LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/firefox python -OO /usr/lib/listen/listen.py $@
So it's bothering as all the time i want to burn something listen will crash.
Otherwise I'm using gnome-baker for burning, so it's ok.
but bothering.
This might help you.
If I can give u more information, just tell me (but I have to tell u: I'm not a big pro!)

How to save a Photoshop PDF file with fonts that can be detected in Acrobat?

We created a PDF file using Photoshop CS5, for the purpose of using it as a watermark on documents. We saved this file as Photoshop PDF file, but for some reason the fonts cannot be detected when the file is opened in Adobe Acrobat.
We need it to be recognized by Acrobat so that we can easily add the watermark to documents on a regular basis.
Right now, Acrobat cannot detect the fonts in this file -- even though it is a basic font like Arial -- so when we add the watermark to a document, the fonts in the watermark becomes very degraded in appearance.
Any advice would be hugely appreciated!

I've tried several settings when saving as a PDF, to try to produce a file with fonts that can be detected by Acrobat. I tried the presets listed in guide: Photoshop Help | Saving PDF files
But none have worked.
I cannot use PNG because it is not one of the formats that Acrobat allows for a watermark. And JPG doesn't work because I need transparency.
