Photoshop 5.1 bombs when not in use and often disables keyboard
I'm using Mac OS X 10.7.2 on an Intel Core 2 Duo IMac. A few months ago I downloaded PhotoShop 5.1 after having used every previous issue of PhotoShop without a problem.
1. Often when I have Photoshop open on my desktop but not actively using it, it will freeze and I'll have to force quit and restart. When I installed the latest version of InDesign and Illustrator they would also freeze when not in use, however removing and resinstalling them seemed to fix the problem for them, but not for Photoshop.
2.I will be working along on a project when suddenly all of the alphanumerical keys on my keypad won't work. I ultimately have to restart the Mac to get them to work again in any program. This never happens with any other program and I have tried othe keypads, even one just out of the box, and it's always the same.
I have removed and reinstalled Photoshop twice, but still the same issues.
I have called the Adobe helpline and tried all of their fixes, but it still happens. They resolved that it must be my Mac. But Mac says because it is related to a specific software it is not their problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks for taking the time to respond.
It might be Suitcase 3, because I keep having trouble with it and issues with the FM Core.
I'm also getting this prompt which I don't know how to resolve: "Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver, and has temporarily disabled GPU enhancements. Check the video card manufacturer's website for the latest software. GPU enhancements can be enabled in the Performance panel of Preferences. (I couldn't find it in the preferences and not sure who the video card manufacturer is.)
Here is the other software that usually is or may be running at the same time as Photoshop: InDesign 7.5, Illustrator 15.1.0, ITunes 10.5.3, Mail 5.1, Preview 5.5.1, Suitcase Fusion 3 14.2.0, Firefox 9.0.1, Microsoft Word 14.1.4 and Excel 14.1.4; less often: PowerPoint 14.1.4, ICal 5.0.1 and Address Book 6.1
When I first had problems with this install as I mentioned I upgraded my operating software and donwloaded MacKeeper to clean things up. It hasn't helped.

For most apps, I can choose to share my location 1) not at all; 2) when the app is in use (my favourite); 3) always (even when not in use).
Why do some apps not offer the second option?
For instance, I want to use an app that locates the nearest automatic external defibrillator (if someone has a cardiac arrest) but I can only use the app when I allow the app to access my location all the time. Given the fact that I will use this app perhaps only once every 15 years, I see no point in giving them my location for the next 15 years! That's just a waste of battery power and also a breach of my privacy.
Second example: Apple's own weather app. I check the weather maybe once every month. I do not want the app to locate me all the time. But I can only choose between option 1) and 3) above.
Is there a technical reason apps work like this? Or are they just sneakily trying to get as much information about me as possible?
Thanks for your thoughts.
PS: I am using iphone 6, iOS8.3everything rudegar said is right on. Still, 10% overnight is more than you would expect - so something is still running. try-
double click the home button, and see what apps are listed as recent. one or more of them might be still churning away. it is a good idea to close those out fully every night. Any of those apps with notifications or location services may be checking in every now and then and using your power.
you mentioned airplane mode is 'off'. this may be a terminolgy thing - but having airplane mode 'off', means that the radios are on. WiFi, and 3 G if you have it. turning airplane mode "on" turns off the radios.
with everything off on mine - (except I leave the wifi on) - i use 2 or 3% overnight.
But if you really want it off - do what rudegar says. -

RAM remaining active when not in use and grinding system to hault
Hello there!
The to point, my RAM appears to be acting very strangely and would be very grateful for any explanation/workaround/solution.
I regularly use the RAM intensive application After Effects CS5. I have 16GB (8x2 GB matching pairs) of RAM which has worked fine for the past year or so until now. I usually tell After Effects not to render one frame at a time (no absurd multiprocessing requests) and to leave 6GB of ram free for other applications in its memory preferences. This used to stop AE from gobbling up too much RAM and slowing down the entire system. However, all of a sudden AE has started to disregard its memory settings and proceeds to use all of the available RAM until none is left. I then see my renders grind to a hault and the entire system move the speed of a snail as little to no free RAM remains.
What is worse is that after I stop the render and quit After Effects, 8GB or so of ram remains active acccording to Activity Monitor, even though nothing is using it. I need to restart in order to get back to normal.
I have tried all of the standard AE fixes, erasing preferences, cleaning caches, changing render settings, etc. I have also done all of the standard OS clean outs with Onxy, Disk Utility, etc. Nothing works.
Below is a screen shot of my idle system with nothing open. The numbers do not add up!
Below is a screenshot of what happens about 5 minutes into any render in AE, completely full RAM with with the Swap increasing with every pass.
I realize that this is quite a specific question I should point at Adobe but I'm thinking it might be more of an OS issue as it has happened so suddenly for no apparent reason. No new type of render, no settings or updates applied lately, just completely out of the blue. Help much appreciated!
I am running an Early 2008 8 Core Mac Pro, 8 GB of good ram in matching 2GB pairs. 4 fast internal drives. Mac OS 10.6.7The numbers don't add up as 6GB is shown as active in the pie chart while the amount of ram used by the processes list barely reaches 1GB. So what is using the remaining 5GB of active memory?
I would not mind this so much if it was being used by some unseen system resource, and was made free if needed by other apps, but that is the problem. When I load more apps from this state the ram does not clear out and I see the computer struggling and writing page outs/ins even when the amount of ram being used in the list of prcesses is well below 16GB. The mystery process seems to remain active and does not release the ram.
Hatter - I have gone through MANY threads about Adobe not releasing memory. I have been using AE for years and never and very aquainted with the best settings to use for rendering in accordance with available ram, processors, and fast drives. Many of them complain about inactive memory not being released and Apple's memory management. This is more of an oddity as until now everything has been fine. I am doing a render of the sort I have done hundreds of times in the past with this system.
My problem is that this started happening all of a sudden for no apparent reason. AE allows one to control how much ram it uses and how much is left for other applications. I keep this at the Adobe forum suggested 6GB, and until a few days ago it would leave 6GB free. The render would progress smoothly, no need for page outs, no maxing of the ram. A simple render.
Now the same simple renders max out all of the RAM despite my telling AE not to use it all. Changing the memory use settings seems to make no difference no difference at all and I gradually see the ram fill out to maximum and then the page in/outs go through the roof, the render taking 4-5 times as long as previous.
So a bit stuck here! Do yall think I'll need to re-install my system to fix this or perhaps it might be more of a hardware problem? I am hesitant to wipe and re-install from a backup image so if any other possibly solutions come to mind please let me know...Possibly a hardware problem? =/
Thanks for yout time! -
Firefox stalls when not in use and must be forced quit.
The program works fine while I am actively using it. When it is in the background while using another application, or when I wake the computer from sleep and bring up Firefox, the program has stalled/become unresponsive. This phenomenon started approximately two weeks ago. I have turned all add-ons acquired the past six months in an attempt to eliminate conflicts, but the program still freezes when not active at least once a day.
You can also consider to create a new profile to have a fresh start. That will also get rid of some weird pref values.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
You can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem

SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB 7.0
I have downloaded Firefox for Android on my tablet and added some add ons. When first using the browser, it works great and loads up fast. Once I get off Internet and try getting back on at a later time(whether it be a minute or longer), I type in a Web page address and nothing loads up. How can I fix this.SEE: [[Firefox for Android will not load pages on Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich)]]

Should I turn off my Mac Pro when not in use or leave it running?
I have been told I should never turn off my computer by some people, and others say that I should always turn it off when not in use! I use my Mac Pro primarily for music recording/editing in my home studio or word processing. Now that I have an iPad I use that for web browsing, email, FBing, etc. and I find myself on my Mac Pro a lot less. I get the basis behind both trains of thought; those who leave it on feel always stopping and starting up puts unnecessary wear on the moving disks, and those who shut down think if the parts are always moving they are bound to wear out faster. I am not as concerned with conserving power as I am with keeping my machine safe! If you have any information on this topic I would love to hear it. Thanks!
Providing you have a robust firewal and are not worried as a result about being hacked then leave it turned on and allow it to sleep. Make sure you allow the screen to sleep as well a that is the item that is more prone to damage by being left on all the time.
I never turn my machine off, never have with any of my Macs ever since my first one back in 1979-ish and have never suffered any adverse affects. Today, the power drain is so small when allowed to sleep that I doubt they would offend even the ardent 'turn off everything and pull out the plug to save the planet' person.
If you have an iPad or iPod synced with the Mac for email and iCal and address Book etc. then if you leave it on it should be up to date as soon as you return home, mine is anyway. With iCloud coming out very soon that may come into play even more so with all its advance pushing etc. Just a thought.
One advantage in leaving the machine on (sleep) is that you can access it from anywhere in the world should the need arise with the appropriate settings, which you can't if you turn it off.
Leave it on. -
Am I supposed to leave the display plugged in when not in use?
should the display be left plugged in when not in use? is it just like leaving the power cord to the MacBoold Pro plugged in when the computer is off?
thanksSure, you can leave the display plugged into the socket, provided you turn OFF the display itself. There must be somewhere some switch or touch button that will turn the display OFF.
Usually, those displays use a lot of power, so it's better to save
I shall add an unrequested piece of advice: if you don't this already, please use some kind of electrical surge protector
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surge_protector> to connect your computer, display, printer, router, etc to the wall socket. -
IPhone resets itself when not in use
I have an original iPhone which has been updated to 3.0. Since the update I've noticed that the phone will spontaneously restart itself when not in use. When this happens I'll notice the screen light up with the silver Apple logo and then go blank. This will happen repeatedly. While this is going on I can't use the phone until I plug it into the computer. Once iTunes does it's thing the phone will return to normal for a while - sometimes a day or two - before repeating this behavior. I have reset and restored the phone but without solving the problem. Apart from this everything seems to be working properly.
Any ideas?Have you tried restoring and setting up as a new phone (i.e., not restoring from a backup)? Sometimes those backups bring along whatever is messing up your phone.

When To and when NOT to use cursors
Can anyone please refer to a good resource about When to and When NOT to use cursors.
I have search on line but I haven't find anything really good.
Thank you.
HIf you can do it in a single SQL statement (one UPDATE or whatever), that will almost always be more efficient than a loop construct.
If you absolutely need a loop, bulk operations (BULK COLLECT, FORALL) will be more efficient than row-by-row processing for any significant number of rows.
If it is a relatively small number of rows, I would then weigh up the simplicity of a Cursor FOR loop (although Regarding the creation of simple cursors).

Have reinstalled OS 10.8.2 once
this morning tried to restart with safe boot and had spinning beach ball for more than 15 minutes. shut down and restarted nin recovery mode. verified and repaired permissions (all seem to be related to Canon Pronter plug-ins- had an error message yesteday asking if I wanted to repair printer software and I said yes). Printer seems to be working. Had one statement that indicated a screensaver issue-see below
a while back, iTunes album art screensaver hung up with just two album covers flipping in all rows and columns.
after a few restarts, it started working correctly again..- yesterday I set screen saver to never, but still had a crash this morningHere's the latest panic report. BTW, I ran for a while from an external system boot - very sloww (thumbdrive), but nothing happened. However, when I retarted I tried to restart in Safe Mode and the launch never completed (30 minutes without start)

My ext HDs spin too hard when not in use , how do I slow em up ?
some externals have the smarts about them but others just wizz too hard when not in use , old macs had a processor setting I could change , but not MBP
I should be able to tell these HDs to chill till I call on them right ? thanks for any help[ you can offer me .

To encourage the external drive(s) to spin down when they aren't in use, System Prefs > Energy Saver > check the box for "Spin down hard disks when possible." But you'll find that the OS checks in on those drives quite frequently, spinning them back up again. So the likelihood of their spinning down very often or ever staying quiescent for long is small.
