MY PC IS WORKING VERY SLOWLY AND HANGING AGAIN AND AGAIN

HELLO
MY NAME IS AKSHAY RAHAR & I HAVE A HP LAPTOP (PAVILION G6 WITH 500 GB HARD DISK , 2 GB RAM , 1 GB GRAPHIC CARD ). IT IS WORKING VERY SLOWLY AND HANG UP AGAIN AND AGAIN .. I REBOOTED IT 3 TIMES BUT I'M FACING SAME PROBLEM PLZ HELP ME ....

There are many reasons why a PC " behaves" this way.
These annoying " gliches" may be caused by an overloaded hard drive, overworked CPU, Malware, running 2 AV 's, unnecessary data, Browser addons or you may have unnecessary programs running in the background etc....
What follows is a series of generic troubleshooting steps that you may care to try...
Make sure all intake/exhausts vents are clean along with all fans.
Get some temp monitoring software. Download cpu-z and gpu-z (both
free) and keep an eye on the video temps
It could be a hard drive that is going bad or corrupted.
To check a hard drive see Check Disk...
In an administrators account type cmd in search.
In cmd type sfc /scannow.
This will report and fix minor problems.
Take note of what is said at the end.
Should your computer freeze, try to do the tests in safe mode.
Go to search, type device manager and look for any yellow warning markers.
Type event viewer, in search (by start button) > Windows Logs > Application
Look for RED critical errors that say app hang, app crash, or anything that relates to the CURRENT problem.
Note the event ID, and the source codes and Google search them.
If overclocking, restore to original.
Try in
safe mode; report back if it works properly.
Clean boot.
You may discover what is causing your problem.

Why is my new iPad mini with retina very, very jerky and slow?

Hi,
Does anyone know what I can do about my new iPad being very, very jerky and slow?
FACT - The multitouch screen is unresponsive and I have to press and press and press to select what I want before it reacts.
It's an iPad mini with retina, so it's got the new chipset which runs really, really fast.
FACT - What happens is:
I start up pages and it freezes completely for quite a while before allowing me access to my documents.
I go to settings and it freezes up totally for quite a while before allowing me access to my settings.
Is there a cure? I get similar problems on my acompanying really, really fast iPhone 5s.
PS
Plenty of memory left so no problems there - only about half used and they're both 32gb.
...and my beloved iPad2 never used to do this either.

iPad running slow? How to speed up a slow iPad

If You Think iOS 7 Feels Slow Here’s How to Speed It Up
http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/23/ios-7-slow-speed-it-up/
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
 Cheers, Tom

I have a 3 year old MacBook Pro with MAC OSX 10.6.8, iPhoto ’09 version 8.1.2 and have downloaded two software programs: one is Aperture 3.2 and the other is Photoshop Elements 9 (which I got from a friend who didn’t need it).
I am totally happy with the way iPhoto organizes my photos and how I can work with iMovie to create slide shows with music from iTunes, etc.
I have been shooting mostly high resolution jpegs and I continue to learn more and more about photography, post processing etc. I realize that the small adjustments I can make in iPhoto are good, and are adequate most of the time. However, a have started to experiment with shooting RAW images and would like to go the next step, ie. post processing.I am totally technically challenged and need SIMPLE, INTUITIVE programs and am certainly NOT anywhere ready for Photoshop CS whatever!
After having these programs sit on my computer, I decided to try to see if I could figure them out. When I opened Aperture, this is what first comes up.
“Welcome to Aperture 3.2
Your library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of Aperture. Once upgraded, you will not be able to use this library with previous versions of Aperture.
Upgrading a library from previous versions of Aperture 3 generally takes a few minutes or less, though larger libraries will take longer. After that, Aperture 3.2 will upgrade your library's thumbnails, but you can use the application during that time.
Tip: To open a different library, quit Aperture and hold the Option key down while starting Aperture
Current Library Location:
Jadzia (home) -----Pictures------Aperture Library
QUIT UPGRADE”
I have heard horror stories about moving your entire library to Aperture, ending up with 2 libraries, etc. etc. hence my previous reluctance in attempting Aperture. In addition, many of my photography friends are saying: Go with Lightroom 3.....you’ll love it!
So here is my dilemma. I don’t want to mess around with my iPhoto library. All I want to be able to do, is to isolate a few photos, export them to Aperture, Elements, and work on them there, then bring them back into iPhoto.
Can I do this? Should I forget about Aperture and Elements and look at purchasing yet another program like Lightroom?

Export those few photos via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with Kind = Original to the Desktop. Then import them into the Aperture library. That would keep one copy in your iPhoto library and another in your Aperture library to edit, etc.
You can use Photoshop Elements 9 from within iPhoto as your editor of choice. However, if you edit a raw file in iPhoto with PSE9 the resulting edited version must be saved outside the iPhoto Library and imported back in as a new file. For editing jpegs just do a Save (not a Save As) and it all will be kept within iPhoto.
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Note: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

I bought a new laptop and tried to reinstall Photoshop elements 11. I saved the original packaging and everything inside(or so I thought). I can't find the serial number anywhere.what if anything an I do?

I bought a new laptop and tried to reinstall Photoshop Elements 11. I saved saved the original packaging and all contents (or so I thought). I can't find the serial number anywhere. Any thoughts on what I can do?

If you originally registered your product the serial number will be stored in your Adobe account. Click the red logo (top left on this web page) sign-in, and then click the Manage Account button. It should be possible to browse your purchase history. You are looking for a 24 digit number commencing 1o57.

I can't find my serial number and I'm downloading photoshop elements on a new computer.

[CLOSED] Wireless mouse (HP) very jerky

I've just bought a new wireless mouse: an HP XA965AA.
Most of the time it works fine, and it works fine under Windows. But at other times the pointer becomes very laggy/jerky - which is very annoying, and doesn't happen in Windows. USB dongle is less than 1.5m from the mouse.
Any thoughts?

Think it's just an issue with the mouse - maybe interference, not sure. But it started showing the same problem in Windows, which means I can take it back to exchange for a wired version (without having to mention the dread word "Linux"... )
Marking this thread as closed, accordingly.

How do I get a black and white photo in Photoshop Elements 11?

I have a very old version of Photoshop, release 6 I believe. In that release, I am able to use enhance/brightness and contrast, and when I slide the contrast to 100%, I get a pure black and white image of my photo. I Photoshop 11, which I just purchased today, I am unable to get a pure black and white image, only grayscale. I cut pictures out of wood, and it's fundamentally necessary that I can contrast pictures into pure black and white. How do I do that in Photoshop 11? The first screenshot is what I need in Photoshop 11, the second screen shot is the limitation I'm seeing in Photoshop 11. How do I get a black and white photo??

(I edited this reply because I originally couldn't see the screen shots.)
There was a change made a few versions ago where Brightness and Contrast were improved so that they did not clip values so quickly. This was intended to improve how Brightness and Contrast worked for photographs, but it makes it work less well for purposes such as channel manipulations or printmaking.
In Photoshop there is a Legacy check box in Brightness/Contrast to make it work the "old" way when that is desired. It looks like that check box isn't in Photoshop Elements, which is what you're actually using. I'm not sure if there is a way to get the Legacy behavior in Elements, so you'll want to ask over in the Photoshop Elements forum.

Photo Downloader APD hangs freezes in Photoshop Elements 9 when camera or iphone 4S selected

I can't get any new images downloaded off my devices. I usually do this with Photo Downloader in the Photoshop Elements 9 Organiser ... I go into Get Photos > from camera or card reader, then select the relevant device (iphone 4S or Canon 40D). As expected it asks to select a device, whcih I do, but then it gets stuck on "connecting to devlce, please wait". I first noticed this problem with my iphone 4S but have since not been able to download from camera either.
I am running Windows 7 with Photoshop Elements 9, using iphone 4S with latest version of software and latest itunes.
I have tried:
I have updated the software from within elements (detected camera raw 6.5 needs updating; done) and the problem persists.
I have optimised/ repaired the catalog
There seem to be threads relating to hanging when you try to change the location in downloader. That is not my problem. Camera raw 6.5 seemed to cause the problem in that case. Today I have just updated my elements software (it detected camera raw 6.5 required installation so I suppose I must have been running the previous version of camera raw). Hence camera raw 6.5 not the problem in this case? If it's relevant, a hard drive search detects camera raw.8bi 16 Sept 2011 19012kb in c:\programfiles\commonfiles\adobe\plugins\elements9 as well as camera raw.8BI with 8 Sept 2010 10179kb in c:\program files\adobe\adobe premiere elements 9\apd\photo downloader\plugins
This happened around the time I upgraded the iphone 4S software (friday 24 August 2012) to the latest version.
Thanks for reading

To check that the update installed correctly go to the Editor menu and click:
Help >> About Plug-in >> Camera Raw
You should see a pop up with the version number.

Re Photoshop Elements 10 - who can recommend reference manuals about how to work between my existing Aperture 2.1.4 and my just purchased Photoshop Elements?

I shoot in Raw with a Canon G9 Compact - after rapidly ditching iPhoto in favour of Aperture, I now want to learn to use Photoshop Elements together with Aperture - I can obviously buy something like the "Dummies" or the "Missing Manual" books about Elements 10, but what can you recommend that will help me learn about the best ways to move images between the two, and how to combine the best features of Aperture and Elements? Thanks for any advice.

I will defer to Sierra Dragon, one of the strongest advocates of Referenced Masters on this forum, but I suspect that your upgrade would only engage about 32 GB of HD space.
I have always used a Managed Library because I like the import-and-forget security.
AP2 arranges each master, thumb, and preview into a single folder. AP3 rearranges things so that all of the masters are in one folder, thumbs another, and previews in another. This has the advantage of making it easier to find your masters, should you ever have to open the Package and look for them.
AP3 is very nice and, with at least 4 GB of RAM, tends to be very speedy. Were I thee, I would force a TM back up and then turn it off while you run the upgrade. Turn it back on only when you are sure that all is well.
If you search this forum for posts around the time that AP3 first came out, you will find that there was a list of cache and pref files that sometimes had to be deleted. I believe that subsequent versions of the AP3 incorporated this into the program as I have not heard of that trick being necessary for years.
In my case, I had a 150 GB Managed Master Library, so I copied it out on an external drive and ran the upgrade there. Once I was sure that it had worked (and it did, first time), I copied it back. As you might imagine, 150 GB over FW800 took some time, but I had three copies of my Library at all times.
A final note, if you are committed to using Referenced Masters (as I now am, having sprung for a SSD) remember that they are write once/read many. That is, they are NEVER rewritten once they are out on disk. I have mine on a dedicated 250 GB and it never fragments. Your Library, on the other hand, reads and writes all the time, keep it on your largest, fastest disk.
Best wishes.

No Avi and MPG sound in Photoshop Elements 7

Hi to all...
I will appreciate very much if someone could help me...
I'm evaluating Photoshop Elements 7 ( PSE7) and Photoshop Premier 7 ( PRE7 ).
and I'm getting problem in reproducing audio in PSE7 and, to be more objective,
the facts are bellow, in separated lines:
* PSE7 : All video formats play image
* PSE7 : AVI and MPG play without sound, 3GP and WMV play with sound
* PRE7 : All formats record and play video and sound
Other programs in my computer:
* WMP11 (Windows Media Player) : All formats with video image and sound
* VLC (open source) : All formats with video image and sound
* PICASA : AVI and MPG play without sound, 3GP and WMV with sound
SOUND CARD : RealTech, built in Mother board
NOTES:
1- No error messages were displayed at any time
2- I installed a Windows Vista CODECs package ( with more or less 19 essential CODECs ) but the situation remains the same in PSE7
Could some one help me ?
Lots of thanks in advance,
Miguel Garcia

Hi nicole sherz
Lots of thanks for your answer.
In my case the problem was related to my sound card configuration.
I'm using vista and, when 5 channel surround is selected, PSE is unable to play sound from most avi and mpg files (although there are some
avi, from my canon S5IS that plays fine).
When I select only two channels in sound card, through vista, all file formats plays well.
Thanks again for your answer.

Difference between Camera Raw 8.7.1 and 7.4 using Photoshop Elements 11

Hi,
I have been using Elements 11 to edit my pics which are shot in RAW. I've been editing the images first with Camera Raw 7.4,
very sucessfully and finishing them in Elements 11. Very satisfied.
I just upgraded to Elementrs 13 which includes a new Camera Raw capability - 8.7.1. I edited few images with the sliders
and saw no differences. Does anyone know what the difference or improvements might be - 'under the hood - perhaps'???
Look forward to your input & thanks

I agree. But the problem here isn't with Adobe. If the camera manufacturers could agree on a common file format all of this compatibility mayhem could be eliminated. But they insist on maintaining their proprietary raw formats.
A common file format is not a panacea - somebody has to write the code to translate sensor data to RGB values etc.., and right now:
Nikon does that for Nikon,
Canon does that for Canon,
Adobe does that for Adobe.
Reverse engineering different raw file formats (to locate raw image and pertinent metadata) is comparatively trivial.
Yes, I realize that if Nikon and Canon did that for Adobe too (and packaged it in a DNG file for example, with camera profiles.., and did new lens profiles for them too..), then it would be better for Adobe software users, but there is just insufficient incentive for camera manufacturers to do that.
The bottom line - I agree that the problem here isn't with Adobe, but also: it's unfair to accuse camera manufacturers of being "stubborn or uncooperative..". It just doesn't make good business sense for them, or hasn't yet anyway.
Fingers crossed for the future and all, but I wouldn't hold breath..
