Not sure what just happened...everything just slowed/choppy in the middle of my session

I was working on a project and all of a sudden everything with in PS got noteably slow and choppy. This first happened while using the selection tool (polygonal lasso), which was lagging behind and making late clicks. I finished my selection and noticed the cursor in general was slow choppy still. I saved my work, shutdown PS, then reboot my computer. I reopen my project, the cursor lag seemed to be gone but the brush tool was not working correctly. Instead of making smooth burst of color with one click (gradient like), it now looks like 256 4 bit (old nintendo style) bursts. Or you could say it looks like multiple rings getting smaller and darker, like counting the rings of a tree trunk.
This happens instantly after opening a file of any type and size. I work with CMYK and 300dpi and while working on a page, this just happened out of nowhere.
I have an ASUS G74SX, i7 CPU, GeForce 560M w/2 gig RAM, 8 gig of SDRAM, 3 each SSD 300gigs (this is basically a 6 month old gaming laptop and has been working fine with PS until now). I have my PS scratch disk set to my F drive for all art and there is nothing more than 2 gigs of space being used right now. My RAM used in PS prefs was maxed at 5205k as suggested by the program.
I would post a picture but this forum will not allow a big enough image to show exactly what I am describing.
PS CS6 is fully up to date as well as all drivers for my GPU and the rest of my laptop.
Thanks
Josh

I personally like to Crop, and then use PNG for my screen-caps. If I need more images, say to show other Palettes, etc., then I do one each for those shots.
We see a lot of full-screen caps posted, where aggressive JPEG is used, and nothing can be read. That is especially true with images, like Adobe Encore's Flow-chart, where there is a lot of text and linking being shown.
Just my personal preferences.

After installing ICloud on my PC, Outlook freezes up regularly. When I click on Icloud there is no mail. Not sure what is happening. Please help

I recently installed ICloud on my PC. Now my Outlook continues to freeze up and I have no emails in ICloud. Not sure what is happening? I logged into ICLOUD and mail is not there either.

Until Apple decides to accept responsibility and fix this issue you will need to get rid of iCloud. It's too bad because before Apple decided to throw out the patch/malware, it actually worked kind of neat. So, this is what I've done to regain control over Outlook and iTunes; re-boot the pc, launch iCloud control panel and sign out, saving data to your computer when asked. Under add/remove programs, un-install iCloud, re-boot again. Go to windows control panel under folder option, second tab (view) select "show hidden files, folders & drives" and select ok. Now double click on your "C" drive and do a "Control F" (for find). In the search box type APSDaemon.exe and hit search. Right click on this file and hit Delete sending it to your recycle bin. You may want to cut this file out of your recycle bin and place it in a temp folder until you are sure everything is working properly. You should now be able to use Outlook and iTunes without them hanging. In Outlook, under contacts you will need to move your contacts from iCloud contacts back to your default contacts folder. Under iCloud contacts do a "Control A" and drag your contacts back to their default location.
Hope this helps, in the future I would be vary leery of installing anymore Apple patches.
I am a PC and Apple trashed me!

Create outlines rendering font poorly in Illustrator CS5, not sure what is happening

Is there a reason why when I convert a font using create outlines, this is happening with Stempel Schneidler btw, it appears to add a bit of weight to the type? I've never run across this issue before. I first noticed it when I printed out the document. It all of a sudden seemed heavier compared to the font normally. The problem becomes much more pronounced at a small scale. I notice it onscreen AND when I print it. I wouldn't normally create outlines but the letterspacing is pretty tight on this and I need to make a TY ligature.
Has anyone ever experienced something like this? I need to get this resolved ASAP as the proof of this job needs to go out by Friday. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Mike,
Just to make sure: you do have Align to Pixel grid unticked, no?
It makes a thick mess of letter shapes if ticked (or should I say thicked).
You can see it in the Transform panel.

Right so, my iPhone charger only works on occasions and I'm not sure what is happening

I have an iPhone 4S and sometimes my charger messes up a little, I realise it is in low battery and then go to charge but for some reason it just doesn't.
I have tried so much to keep my charger in good shape like taking it out of the plug while not in use and taking the USB out the actual charger when I'm not using it. So do I have to buy a new charger or is it my phone?

Not all of your information is correct Libby. First off yes, you should try another charger to rule out the issue of it being the charger or the phone, if the phone still doesnt charge well with a know good charger then it is a hardware issue with the phone. However as far as your phone being replaced for free, there are some stipulations, obviously it has to be under warranty, secondly it can not have been in contact with liquid, and the issue must not have been caused by accidental damage. I would suggest taking it into an Apple store if you have one located near you, if not i would contact Apple Support at 1-800-MY-APPLE, through which u can have send your phone in for repair either by taking it to a The UPS store, or Apple will send you a Box and a shipping label and you can send it out yourself. The last option that Libby referred to is an "express replacement" of sorts, Apple will send you a phone that will arrive in 1-4 business days, from the day Apple sends out that phone you will 1:Have a hold put on your credit card for the full value of the new device, 2: be charged $29 for the express replacement, 3: Have 10 Business days to return the broken device, or the charge will not be lifted from your credit card.

I have a website and a .MAC account. Please help! Not sure what will happen

Anyway, I used to use DREAM WEAVER then got .MAC and use it for idisk and stuff like that.
And I used iWeb exported and put it on my hosted domain....
So I guess I am asking is what happens when I create a website then click publish....where does it go! And has anyone made money from Adsense via google? I ask as he talks about it during the talking of his last keynote.
Thanks!

okay I don't think that made sense.
I have a domain that I used with dreamweaver, then used iweb to change it.
Now I have a .mac account.
When I click publish to ,mac, where does this site go and how do I find it?
thanks

Siri Can't Post To Facebook "Sorry I'm afraid I can't post to your Facebook, I'm not sure what happened" iOS 8.3

I've had trouble with this for quite a while now. Not sure what the issue is. I have an iPhone 6+ running the current software iOS 8.3 & when I try to post a Facebook status through Siri she responds with something along the lines of "I'm sorry. I can't post to your Facebook. I'm not sure what happened." Not sure what's causing this issue as I have the Facebook app installed on my iPhone as well as being signed in through the settings app. Note: this is an issue only with Facebook. She is able to post tweets with no with no issue.
Thanks for the help!

My Mac is freezing constantly (30 sec - 1 min) and I am not sure what to do

Hello all,
My MacBook Pro:
-bought it in mid 2012
-has the OS X Yosemite
-4 gb memory, 2.5 GH.
-Disk capacity: 499.25 GB
        - Used: 499.23 GB
        - Avaliable 19 MB
I am really not sure what to do at this point. Does the freezing have something to do with my disk capacity or is it somethig completely different? Any help would be appreciated. I am college student, so a computer is a MUST for me to have, especially a proper working one.
Thanks,
Jack

First, your disk is not necessarily full. You've activated FileVault or Core Storage. It's normal for a logical volume group to have only a tiny amount of available space as shown in Disk Utility. To see the real amount of available space, select the logical volume nested below it.
When you have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above.
Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first.
Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

Hi ..
Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
You may have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.
If nothing above has helped, try here > iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

My Lock button on my iphone 5 has stopped working, and I'm not sure what to do.

My Lock button on my iphone 5 has stopped working, and I'm not sure what to do.

This will be covered by the 1 year Warranty. Make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple for resolution. Until then try Settings App > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new white screen button > Device > Lock Screen. This can even turn iPhone OFF. To turn ON, connect to power, charger or USB of computer.

I have always heard that Macs are less likely to get infected with a virus. My computer has been running much slower since I installed Maverick. Just not sure what the problem might be. Is there a way for me to run a diagnosis?

Some have found relief just by reinstalling, but it is more than likely incompatible third-party applications that slow it down.
You will have to investigate to see what it is.
Open Activity Monitor and see if anything is using a lot of CPU% or Memory. If they are, check to see if there is an update for them.
Another place to look is the Console. See if anything is logging repeating messages with throttling and/or respawn in the All Messages list.
Sometimes it is not that easy to root out the problems, but if you have anything that purported to clean, protect, optimize, maintain, or flush your system, then that is likely the cause.
