  • Elements 12 and organizer constantly freezing for many seconds using NAS and clean Win 8.1

    I installed photoshop elements and premiere elements 12 on a clean Win 8.1 machine with 4G and an SSD. I use a fast NAS as the storage for all pictures. I am experiencing constant multi-second freezes that makes the programs unusable. I believe the problem is with the organizer but can't be sure. The organizer seems unable to import my pictures successfully and ends at 95% with an unknown error.
    Very disappointing product
    Any ideas on what to check?

    Dear,
    I have bought and used all Versions upward from Version 2. I am now using Version 12 on a quite powerful PC running Win7. Organizer have had this freezing problem with all versions and it happens all of the time. I cannot understand why you haven't put recources into solving this issue.
    Best regards,
    Lars

  • Streamed video constantly freezing for several seconds...

    ...then catching up to the spot where the audio continued without a problem, then again and again throughout. This happens for streams (including YouTube) that have not caused these problems for me in the past. A look at Task Manager shows Firefox using a lot of RAM and CPU. The problem seemed to start in the last month (or so). Here are my system details: Dell 4600 P4 2.40GHz, XP Home SP3, 1.5 GB RAM, Firefox 10.0.2, Flash ActiveX 11.1.102.55, Flash Plug-in 11.1.102.62, Norton Internet Security 2012, High Speed DSL (tested now as 3965kbps), Linksys WRT54G. Let me know if there's any other specs or problem description needed.

    I'd try a couple of things.  First, does this only happen with Firefox?  Have you tried Chrome or IE to see if the behavior is the same?  If it's not, then try creating a new Firefox profile to see if that helps.
    Make a new profile
    If it happens with all browsers, please take a look at YouTubes speed test page to get an idea of what they're recording for your bandwidth.

  • Mac Book freezes for 10 seconds when I print screen!

    Hi fellows,
    I am having noticed a very incommon problem. Sometimes, when I press commandshift3 or commandshift3 to capture the screen, my mac freezes for 20 seconds...
    How can I solve it?

    Disk drive has spun down and takes that long to spin back up would be first guess.

  • AR8 freezes for about 40 seconds after start

    Hi,
    I use SuSE Linux 10.0 on a Thinkpad R51 and I installed the 8.1.1 enu rpm version of adobe reader and I use a dual head xinerama display.
    Biggest problem:
    Adobe Reader starts up normally and for about 2 secs, it can be used normally. Then, it freezes for about 40 seconds. Nothing is possible in this time. Afterwards, a normal use is possible.
    Minor problem:
    Everytime I open a PDF document with the Firefox plugin (FF 2.0.0.6), the plugin seems to be loaded and initialised again. This is very time consuming. In AR7, one had to wait for plugin initialisation only when opening the first pdf document.
    Is there a plan to fix these issues? Otherwise, I will downgrade to AR 7.0.
    Thanks,
    Al

    Hi Al,
    Could you answer the following questions in regards to your problem, for us to better understand the problem scenarios -
    Regarding your first problem ---
    1. The freeze after launch is happening on "every" launch of the reader, or is it occassional?
    2. When the reader window is hung, do you see any sort of progress bar or alert on the screen?
    3. If you try to launch the the reader from the terminal, do you see any alert/warnings on the console while the reader is hung?
    There is also a small exercise we would like you to do, in order to verify a known issue (you would need 'root' access to do the following) -
    * Temporarily rename the folder "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts" (the font folder under /usr/X11R6) to something else (say "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts_dummy").
    * Restart acroread a couple of times.
    Do you still see the problem of the application getting hung? Please do let us know your observations. Also don't forget to restore the name of the folder "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts" back to its original name.
    Regarding your second problem ----
    The behaviour is basically due to the browser's handling of external plugins. In Reader 7.0 due to some issues, we sometimes missed indicating to the browser that our work was done, and that is why an instance of the plugin persisted.
    This was however corrected and in Reader 8 we now correctly tell the browser when the PDF file is closed. It is at this point that the browser should decide whether to keep the plugin loaded or to close and unload it. And it seems that at present Firefox immediately unloads us after the last document is closed.
    Anyway thanks for pointing out the problem. We'll take note of it and try to find a workaround to improve the performance in the future release.
    Regards
    Salil

  • What could this be? Cursor freezes for about a second

    Sometimes, the cursor freezes for about a second. It does not move on the screen. I checked the log files, but I cannot seem to find any trace of it.
    Has anyone else seen this? It does not happen a lot, it happens occasionally.
    I have seen it happen in Safari the most, but that is the app that I use the most anyway.

    Thanks for suggesting we turn off the "accidental input" option. It's a shame we have to live with the alternative - accidental input - which happens to me fairly frequently when I'm typing. But the mouse freezing was driving me insane.
    I found that it was very easy to reproduce. Simple go to a webpage, scroll down the page with the down arrow key, so the mouse disappears on-screen, then try to use the trackpage to move the mouse - it doesn't appear immediately. For me, it takes 1-3 seconds - which feels like forever.

    Odds are only someone that develops apps for iOS would have access to whatever this is and, even then, this information may still not be available.
    I would do a backup of your phone & then erase it and restore from the backup to see if the odd behavior goes away. If so, something went funny with your update the first time around. If not, there's something in your backup that's making the phone throw a fit.
    I resolved my battery issues (more or less) by disabling the "set date/time automatically" setting. I haven't re-enabled it yet but my battery life has been much better with it off.

  • Firefox v15 and up cause my computer (MAC OSX 10.8.2) to freeze for about 30 seconds every 15-30 seconds and forces me to turn it off with the power button

    Firefox v15 and up cause my computer (MAC OSX 10.8.2) to freeze for about 30 seconds every 15-30 seconds and forces me to turn it off with the power button. It only causes this after I have opened Firefox, my computer runs fine before opening Firefox. I have uninstalled Firefox and cleared my personal settings. I have installed future updates (16 and 17) and have run into the same issue. I cannot pull any information on RAM or CPU usage because when it happens it makes my computer unusable. Unfortunately I need to use FF for work and can't. I have tried the different responses on the forums to reduce the amount of RAM and CPU usage with no change in performance.

  • NI Traktor software - Audio freezes for about half second because of Dual Core

    Hello,
    I've been testing out Native Instruments Traktor DJ Studio 3 and very frequently, the audio and timeline would freeze for about half a second and the continue playing. I also have a good low-latency PCI-card soundcard, so that's not causing these pauses.
    I've managed to get rid of this problem by turning off the second processor core in the BIOS setup. However, I don't like the fact that I'll have to do that every time I use Traktor.
    Is this a software or hardware issue? Software that doesn't use both cores should be able to run without problems, but apparently, there are some interrupts happening that prevent some programs from running smoothly.
    That's why I'm posting here instead of the NI forums.

    Hi
    It is very nice to make other users to be attentive to this issue but in my opinion it is definitely wrong place. There are much bigger chances that software producer tests own products on different units and hardware configurations than hardware manufacturers.
    Usually, the notebook manufacturers are responsible for OS stability and functionality of every delivered hardware component but not for functionality on third part software.
    Because of that, try to pick up some info from Native-instruments. If you will find some useful info please let us know. The dual-core units are new on the market and like you can see there are first problems. Every useful info is welcome.
    Good luck!

  • Qosmio F60- Randomly freezes for about one second

    Hi,
    I have a qosmio F60, and recently i've been having random freezes even while typing atm.
    So, my notebook freezes for a second every now and then and it's getting really annoying. It does so no matter what i'm doing...
    I restored the pc to factory settings and updated all the drivers but still i get this annoying problem...
    Any help would be appreciated.
    I figured the problem is a *SUDDEN FPS DROP*...save me -.- pls

    > I restored the pc to factory settings and updated all the drivers but still i get this annoying problem...
    Hmmm..... why to update ALL drivers if you dont know why this happen?
    You must restore notebook to factory settings, open notepad and test it. can you confirm that this happen immediately after notebook restore to factory settings?
    It is not easy to assist with such issues. We dont know which stuff is installed on your notebook, which additional (third part software) applications are installed, which background processes are active, how your OS is configured and so on.
    In my opinion some background activity is responsible for this. it can be Microsoft updates installation if you have set it to option automatically. It can also be some antivirus scanning activities. Who knows?
    Try to change OS settings and OS configuration.

  • My Macbook pro freezes for 30 seconds upon flipping it open to start up, why?

    I have a Macbook pro (mid 2012) and I went to install Mavericks but my computer crashed horribly. I couldn't get any of the keyboard shortcuts to work so I had to take it and turns out some sort of driver kernal needed to be rebuilt by the local mac place. Now, when I flip the computer open to load it up, it freezes for about 30 seconds after the grey loading screen with the bar. My mouse and window to type in my password shows up, but the computer is completely unresponsive at this time. Any way to fix this? I used to be able to just flip my laptop open before the update and get right to using it, its my favorite part about my macbook pro, would like to regain this quickness.... Thanks

  • Ipod screen and controls freeze for 1 min but it still plays

    Hello, any and all help is appreciated.
    Listening to music, my ipod's screen and controls will freeze for about a minute, but the ipod still plays music when this happens. It happens every 5 minutes or so. Pretty weird. If I turn on the backlight and it freezes, the backlight will stay on for 1 minute until the thing unfreezes and it kills battery time.
    Also, it will remember any buttons that I press while it is in freeze mode and when it unfreezes, it will perform those functions. (i.e. if i'm listening to a song and the screen and controls freeze, it will continue to play that song. if i use the click wheel to change the volume, it won't work, but as soon as it unfreezes, the ipod will remember my actions and lower the volume eventhough i tried to adjust it 30 seconds ago. make sense?)
    Has this happened to anybody else? Is there anything I can do?

  • When I power up my ipad air the apple logo comes up like it should then the lock screen only comes up for a second or less so I can't swipe it fast enough.

    When I power up my iPad Air the Apple Logo comes up like it should then the lock screen only comes up for a second or less so I can't swipe it fast enough to get to the home page. The lock screen just disappears. I have to hit the sleep/wake or home button to bring the lock screen back up so I can swipe it. Have others found this situation with the iPad Air. I have an iPad 2 and it does not happen at all. The Apple store checked it out. One rep said to me this is unusual and had a tech check it out and they said this is normal. If the iPad is suppose to be user friendly, why this extra step to get to the lock screen? Are other owners of the iPad Air having the same problem? If so, what have you done to correct it?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.
