Photoshop CC Frequently Hangs

I'm having an issue with Photoshop CC where it will frequently hang (rotating set of dots instead of a cursor), and I can't save, quit, or perform any other function, and have to use Force Quit in order to regain my session.  This happens even when it's the only application running.
I've never had this issue before - I'm just doing some simple paintings on a small canvas (<1024x1024), and can't work for longer than 10min without Photoshop hanging on me.  It's at the point where I have autosave set to every 2min, that's how frequently it can happen.
I'm using a Macbook Retina running OS X 10.8.4

Before creating the new user account, I wanted to make sure I could duplicate the error in my default user account first - I could not.
What's different from today and yesterday are the peripherals I'm using.  Yesterday I was connected to a Thunderbolt Display, and using a Wacom Intuos5 as input.
Today I am not connected to the display, and am using a bluetooth mouse, and haven't had any problems with Photoshop at all.
I am not at home to test this (but will update once I get the chance), but I'm wondering if the problem is a result of rendering on an external monitor, or the Tablet drivers, or a combination of both?

    I suspect my OS is not loaded 100% correctly. 
    My device is information 
    OS version: 8.0.10328.78
    Firmware version: 3047.0000.1328.3001
    HW revision number: 1.0.0.0
    Radio Sw version: 1.0.202132.3
    Chip SoC version: 8960. 
    another interesting thing is after this GDR2 update my 4G version is no more available. 
    please suggest what should be my setps to make this device stable.it was stable with the old FW but after GDR2 it is not stabel. i love Lumia/WP8. it is 100% fit with my life style. 
    i dont want to take this device to local nokia care agina. i dont trust them. please advice how i can improve my device without taking it to Nokia care. 
    thanks for every expert comments. 
    regards
    Sayeed

    You can try resettng it but if it doesnt resolve, I suggest you bring it back to the care point so they can reflash it. I suspect they may have used the wrong version.

  • Firefox 18 on Mountain Lion frequently hangs with spinning ball for 1 min while a page is loading, or while opening a new tab. No tabs useable

    Firefox 18 on Mountain Lion. Frequently hangs for minutes with spinning ball, usually while a page is loading (status bar says "loading..." "waiting..."), but sometimes just while on the same page. Other tabs and windows are not useable, even though only one tab is waiting. I usually have 2-4 windows open with several tabs each. Behavior is no different in safe mode. This is making the browser unusable.
    In the past this happened and I've reinstalled or created a new clean profile, but it always recurs.

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • I have one iPad 3. But it is frequently hanging. More over the sound disappears. I have to restart the device to bring back the sound. Today I can't even restart as none of the icons are responding to touch. Why this is happening?

    I have one iPad 3. But it is frequently hanging. More over the sound disappears. I have to restart the device to bring back the sound. Today I can't even restart as none of the icons are responding to touch. Why this is happening?

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

    I am having a similar issue. I was trying to download Bridge trial and I think the download manager was quit in the middle or the internet connection was lost. I un-installed the manager and re-installed it. But no matter what its stuck at 42%.

  • Frequent Hangs & beeps on restart

    My laptop has ATi Radeon HD 4500 series. I have xf86-video-ati installed.
    The laptop hangs frequently, by freeze I mean Everything hangs. I cant boot switch to console using Ctrl+Alt+F{1..6}.
    After I do a hard reset, I get beeps 2-3-4-3 which means "Display non-disposable segments" for my Phoenix motherboard.
    There are times when I dont get a freezed system but I get kernel panic like this -> http://i.imgur.com/OKZdx.jpg
    Sometimes, it also happens that I get the above screen at startup too.
    I have tried searching google but I couldnt do anything much with that beep-code. (I am also not able to understand what that actually means).
    I also had catalyst-hook installed earlier, in that also I had the same issue of hangs but I never got kernel panic.
    Summary:
    With xf86-video-ati: Kernel panic + frequent hangs + 2-3-4-3 beeps on startup.
    With catalyst-hook: frequent hangs + 2-3-4-3 beeps on startup.

    lagagnon wrote:Beep codes mean you have a hardware fault - nothing to do with the OS. Those beep codes and kernel panics to me suggest faulty RAM. You can run memtest from the Arch CD or any other Live Linux CD or the UltimateBootCD to test your RAM - but I suspect that is your problem.
    Windows7 runs on the same laptop without any issues so its sure to be some problem with faulty device drivers..

    This happened a long time ago when I was still using XP. There were a few possibilities, but unfortunately unable to help much as we cannot see your screen, setup, programs etc.
    Suggestion, in order of what I think is possible reasons
    1) If you have 2xRam, swap their locations and run ram diagnostic, faulty memory?
    2) Plug out your network cable and turn off wifi and do the shutdown, sympton remains?
    3) Check your firefox addson for anything that syncs, eg bookmark syncing, backup etc
    4) Download ccleaner, clean the registry and empty all the trash etc
    5) Download and use a free tool call ProcessTamer, this one works for XP, it sometimes helps regulate those CPU usuage, "idling process" or something
    6) Uninstall your java, download the latest and reinstall it. There was an add on that fouls up IE that casue all the slowness, unsure if your installation of firefox has it.

  • Frequent Hangs

    Hi
    I'm using an MBP with OSX 10.5.4 and get frequent hangs when closing all kind of different programms. "Mail" always hangs when I try to close it, sometimes also "System preferences", "Activity Monitor", "Addressbook" and a couple of 3rd-party-programs.
    How can I figure out, where the problem comes from? I found the Log "Hang reporter", but it doesn't say too much.

  • Photoshop Cs6 is hanging when trying to work in 3D when it wasn't before

    When I first started using 3D in Photoshop it was working rather smoothly and seemed to chug along fairly fast. Then one day when I was working in it as usual and tried to perform some random action it just started hanging with the spinning blue circle for about 2 or 3 minutes. It continued to do this ever since, sometimes hanging for up to 5 minutes before performing my command. Some actions cause it to hang longer than others, such as creating a new light and changing the diffuse color of a material, which is by far the worst in terms of the amount of time it will hang. I have searched the forums and google and tried all suggestions to any problem that seemed to have a similar nature. The only time that I had a partial success was after I had uninstalled Photoshop, then ran the adobe creative suite cleaner tool, then manually searched through the registry for every reference to adobe and Photoshop I could find and deleted them. I then reinstalled Photoshop and updated it. When I started using it in 3D after that it was running smooth as butter, no hangs or stalls on anything, including creating lights and changing diffuse colors. But my joy was not long lived, as after about 2 hours of use it started to do its usual behavior of hanging again.So I tried that approach again and it did not seem to work a second or third or fourth time. So out of desperation and all out of options, I decided to run process monitor from sysinternals to see if it showed me anything even though I knew that I probably would not understand what it were showing me. I noticed a lot of errors with the results of "name not found" for registry calls, "invalid parameter" for directory quarries, and "no such file" for file reads. But the one that seems to be happening the most whenever the program is hanging is it is trying to open a file from C:\program files\Adobe\photoshop x64\required\CgShaders, but that directory is nonexistent on my system. I was hoping that someone would be able to solve this for me as 3D in Photoshop is a big part of my workflow and I am all out of ideas. I'm going to include the process monitor log file and it will be in pml format which you will need process monitor to read, but it is a very small, portable, and free program which can be downloaded from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645. The Log file Can be downloaded from http://sdrv.ms/Xxcmuu (skydrive) or https://www.box.com/s/jzdmgmdmz7xe47smalv2 (box) .
    And here is my system info from Photoshop (I have a first generation I3 processor with intel HD graphics, which as I said was running fairly smooth before my problem started):

    Thank you very much for your reply. And yes I have tried all of these suggestions that you have just made. And as for the GPU crash I did not notice that in there before but I also didn't look for it because every time I looked before it wasn't there, and looking at the date that was when that I was rolling back\uninstalling\reinstalling\trying modded drivers, etc., Which is probably the reason why the gpu sniper crashed.
    One interesting thing that you said was whether there is the same failure in a new design as opposed to an existing one. The answer to that is yes and no. To elaborate, when the program was working as it is supposed to eve and creating new lights and positioning them did not cause any slowdown despite the file that I was working on, but after the problem starts occurring it is like a snowball rolling down a hill. Every time I open the file (the one I was working on when the problem started to happen) to continue work on it be sluggish response of Photoshop is still there and only gets worse. If I start over on a new file the program will run much more smoothly, but will still had a slight amount of sluggishness with less intensive task whereas the more intensive task such as working with lights is still moderately sluggish but not to the extent as it was working in the previous file. As you said in your post it seems the father all along I get in my document the more pronounced and time consuming the freezes become. But nonetheless wants the problem has occurred it does not go away I can only lesson that by starting from scratch, which is not very convenient.
    If you look at the process monitor log file linked in my first post and search through it pretty quickly you will see photoshop doing this

    2-Operation: unknown     Path:C:\Program Files

    4-Result: INVALIDATE PARAMETER
    5-Result: INVALIDATE PARAMETER
    6-Result: NO SUCH FILE
    7-Result: NAME NOT FOUND
    It does this repeatedly over and over again, specifically when I tried to work with lights. The weird thing is that there is no directory in required called CgShaders. I see 1 CG.dll & 1 cgGL.dll in the Photoshop (64 bit) directory. To meet that just seems very strange and probably more than a coincidence and probably does not happen on everybody else's system.
    This is the process monitor log file that I saved in csv format and edited the first three blocks so that it fit correctly. Open it up in wordpad and you'll see what I mean. This is what I was talking about right above.

  • Photoshop CC and Photoshop 6 Freezing/Hanging

    Ok so I have read many threads on this topic and none have been an answer to my problem.
    This happens on MacPro with 2 x 2.4Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon with 24GB of 1066 MHZ DDR3 Ram and an 512Gig SSD, freshly formatted and Photoshop CC loaded and running without any other apps. I also use a Wacom Intuos 5 touch M with driver 6.3.6w3. I also have 3 x iMac 27" top current spec SSD and 32Gig Ram and wacom tablets, Intuos 3 and 4.
    This problem occurs normally when selecting a brush to work on a layer mask (size of brush not relevant), once the freeze occurs, the cursor can still be moved around however a brush mark isn't registered. To exit this freezed state it is necessary to click on another application (preferably the finder) and return to photoshop in order to snap it back in to action. Sometimes this problem has to be repeated 2 or 3 times. It doesn't appear to make any difference what size the image is. Often if I open up a flat jpg, grab the clone stamp tool and start to work, there are no marks registered. Once the freeze/hang is exited often the previous brush marks appear altogether. This seems to happen all too regularly, maybe every 15 mins or so, but never consistently spaced out
    I have tried all of the things below to solve it:-
    1. No 3rd party plug ins running.
    2. Ample scratch disk space on second internal Sata drive (500Gb)
    3. GPU settings changed to Basic
    4. I don't have a third button on my pen to turn off
    5. Wiped and re-installed OS X 10.8.4, reinstalled photoshop
    6. Made history states greater and less
    7. Turned Autosave off and save in background
    8. Regenerated new Preferences
    I have looked into Activity viewer when this happens and nothing seems obviously wrong. Please help as I thought is was a bug in CS6 so upgrading to CC was looking very attractive until the same problem happens here too.
    HELP! HELP! HELP!

    Curt, I have a ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB in the Mac Pro, the iMac have NVIDIA GeForce GTS 680MX 2048Mb.
    Why would it happen on all of these machines though if they have different video cards?
    Very Puzzled!

  • MacBook Pro 2011 10.7.5 frequently hanging programs and freezing.

    For over a week my system has frequently been hanging all its programs and then spinning the beach ball of death when you try and click around or repeat actions. It happens always after it’s been woken up and then later too.
    -It sorts itself out but after about 5-10 minutes.
    -A couple of times I've woken it from sleep mode but the screen never wakes up, the light isn't snoozing anymore but it's all black. That never recovers and I have to force shut down.
    -Occasionally while it's hanging, the sound from a browser carries on even though the screen has frozen- within a few minutes that stops too.
    -I haven't made any significant changes recently and it's not associated with any particular program; it can happen through anything.
    -Here are the specs and more information:
    I'm usually running several programs but none with a really high activity usage. My activity monitor usually looks like this, it fluctuates, but never anything above 12-15%:
    I use a 1TB external hard drive to back up Time Machine, never had any problems with it.
    What I've tried:
    -I've run Disk Utility (Verify Disk and Verify Disk Permissions) on everything listed and it's found no problems (except on a disk I've ejected and still had problems since, see Changes below)
    e.g.
    -Checked Activity Monitor to check nothing's running like crazy.
    -I've run Sophos Anti-Virus software over everything and it's found nothing
    -Cleared the cache and emptied the trash
    -Restarted numerous times after applying any changes.
    -Look for MacKeeper or MacProtector but haven't got such malware.
    -Got rid of any Damaged Files from Devices: Macintosh HD and emptied trash
    -Deleted The Sims 2.app and all related folders (see below) and restarted (which never actually started so I had to force shutdown again and restart.
    - Installed and ran Memory Cleaner app, which freed up some memory. But problem still occuring.
    Any recent changes:
    Nothing major; racking my brains I can think of:
    -I've had iPhoto open more freqently than usual, but even when it's closed and after restarting I'm still getting the hanging programs
    -I had The Sims 2 disk in, and started the program once, it worked fine. When I was running Disk Utility it found an issue regarding an 'unused node', but it couldn't repair it. So I ejected the disk (which took a minute to respond), and have still had the problems after rebooting.
    -A month or so ago I had a significant problem on Disk Utility so I had to reinstall Mac OS X, Lion 10.7.5. But it has still worked fine since then until a few days ago.
    Please help!

  • Itunes + Windows 7 64 bit - very frequently hangs

    Have latest update of Itunes installed (the one from the other day) - but all varients of 9 have been doing same thing for me
    bascially randomly, sometimes on start of Itunes, sometimes 1 min in, and especially if downloading any Podcasts etc Itunes completely hangs, and hangs the whole computer/Windows - have to do a hard restart
    if I set to "compatability mode XP SP3" - I don't get anywhere near as many hangs - in fact mostly is stable, but is slower, and I can't do drag and drop and all sorts of other things
    unselect compatability mode and very very frequent crashes/hangs. Itunes hangs whether Ipod Touch is attached or not
    no other program whatsoever on my computer completely hangs the OS
    have performed complete reinstalls of Windows 7 in meantime, and always have the same problem
    PC is a Q6600, an Asus P5B Deluxe mobo, 6 gig RAM, 4890 graphics
    any ideas please ?
    thanks, Mark.

    I had tried some links I found on internet.
    What worked finally was to disable all add-ons using Help --> Restart with add-ons Disabled. With this way I verified with all the add-ons disabled there was on performance problem (like my second machine with Windows 7 32 bit).
    After that, I started to enable the add-ons starting from the more important for me. It still worked with no problem. I left disabled some non-important for me.
    I am not sure whether the problem was from those that I left out or whether the whole process "corrected or reset" something. The result is the same. Firefox 4 in Win7 64 works like in Win7 32.

  • Photoshop CC 2014 hangs for nearly 15 seconds when using Layer Group Layers or Layer Palette Group from Layers commands.

    Photoshop hangs for nearly 15 seconds when using Layer > Group Layers or Layer Palette > Group from Layers commands. NOT on creating new group and creating layers and drag-n-dropping layers into group manually in Layer Palette. Got a UI design file with nearly 800 layers and lot of groups. This doesn't occur in smaller files. Using OS X Mavericks, Photoshop CC 2014.2.2, Mid 2014 15-inch Retina Macbook Pro.
    I understand that the solution would be just to cut the file into smaller files and design each UI view in a separate file but that would be painful. And it does not seem to be a very hard task to just group layers.

    Does the document also have a lot of layer comps?
    And can you post that document or send me a copy of it so we can see exactly why it is hanging?
