Photoshop CC is becoming increasingly unstable...

While in Photoshop for Windows 7 64-bit, and mostly in the blending options window, photoshop will freeze, then open MULTIPLE "help" windows in my browser, then photoshop will crash probably 80% of the time that this happens. Photoshop CC has also become quite laggy lately as well... sometimes starting right up no problems, other times taking 2-3 minutes to start up and "unfreeze". I check my processes when this happens and nothing else is using resources that would conflict with Photoshop, yet Photoshop will sometimes use 13-15% CPU resources when this happens.
Windows 7 64-bit
Intel i7 Quad Core
6GB High Speed RAM
nVidia 9800GT SLI video card (2GB onboard Video RAM) with the latest drivers.

Also have the same problem. Photoshop CC, although I'm sure this was going on when I was using cs6.
I have just lost lodes of work and it didnt give me a back up and whaaaaa!

After installing Mavericks my iMac has become increasingly unstable with various applications crashing along with some white screen, kernel panic-style restarts. This has even continued after a fresh install, what should I do now?

Following an Apple Support Team member's advice, I retrieved as many files as I could and erased and repaired the HD before completing a fresh install from a bootable USB. Once I restored all of my software I set it backing up to Time Machine over night only to find that it had crashed and restarted over night before that had completed. I attach the crash report below:

I've become increasingly frustrated with the ipad adobe app. I've subscribed to be able to convert my pdf files into word documents and it has yet to work I've paid for a service that does not work which in turn makes me a disgruntled customer to say the least very disappointed with such horrible service

Which service did you subscribe to? Adobe PDF Pack?
Once I know the service that you subscribed to, I can move this post to the right forum so that you can get in touch with the folks who can assist you.

Speedgrade CC 2014 becoming increasingly slow while working on a project that was direct linked from Premiere CC.

Speedgrade CC 2014 direct link from Premiere Pro CC 2014. The application is becoming increasingly slow when making any adjustment or just selecting any buttons on screen. While working for and hour on my project it is now bordering unresponsive. In addition it is causing the Finder to become slow and any other applications such as Safari and Mail.
I'm on a Mac Pro5,1 OS 10.8.5, 6-core intel xeon 2.93GHz, 16gb Ram, Ati Radeon HD 5770 and NVIDEA Quadro 4000 cards.
I'm hoping this is just a setting in speed grade and not a bug.

First, Davinci and the Adobe DVA's (digital video apps) utilize resources very differently from each other. That said, your hardware is making me green ...
This is something that should fly on your system, so ... I would definitely suggest my previous thing of running that benchmark testing ... it will tell you how your system runs the Adobe stuff, and indicate if anything could be modified so it would work better. Some people with FAR less a system than you're running fly through a DL session. Even my system with only four "real" cores (8 "logical" ones ... whatever ... ), 16Gb RAM, and a GTX770/4Gb vRAM and multiple internal & eSATA drives to split things up for throughput sustained stuff, has been running pretty smoothly. Even though it wasn't using much of the video card, which screams for many people in the Adobe DVA's. This latest set of improvements has pretty much nearly eliminated Sg using it ... so we'll have to puzzle out WHAT is causing Sg and the other apps to ignore my card when in identical setups it's a real beast.
That's the kind of thing that can drive the engineers up the wall. Some of the systems that have had terrible problems such that users have been on here complaining that "no on could possibly be running "serious professional footage & effects" on a system like theirs, didn't you idiots test it?" ... have received the response ... that Kevin or Al or someone is running a completely identical system to almost all tiny respects ... and is flying with 6k footage running a ton of PrPro & Ae effects then worked heavy in Sg. And coasting at it. Not that they at all challenge that the user's system is nearly unusable at the moment ... but figuring out why on two nearly identical setups it works so differently can be rather tedious with hundreds of thousands of lines of code involved, various plugins, and maybe a 2/3rds moon on the third Tuesday.
Like mine. I know quite a few people use this card on the Adobe apps and it's really flying for them. It's been re-installed twice on mine, Windows and all monitoring systems see it fine, but ... even after multiple installs and CC cleaner attempts and such it's not "seen" properly by any Adobe app. So ... off to run the benchmark to see what all in my system is doing fine ... and if there's any hint as to why that card isn't getting used.
Also ... it would maybe be useful to get Dennis Weinmann or Fran Roig to jump in, maybe get a sample of your project file or info on those LUT's or something, to see if they've got any ideas. Trouble is most of Adobe's staff is on Winter Break for the next week plus.

HT1349 Hi, I'm struggling to upgrade my OS X - current version 10.5.8. becoming increasingly annoying

Hi, I'm struggling to upgrade my OS X - current version 10.5.8. becoming increasingly annoying

You must purchase Snow Leopard. The update to 10.6.8 is free. You can then download Mavericks for free provided your computer is capable of meeting the requirements:
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
             Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

Audio and Video become increasingly out of sync when watching a movie.

When I watch a movie from my itunes folder (purchased) the audio and video become increasingly out of sync. It is like watching an old Godzilla movie. I am using itunes on a Dell XPS M1530 running windows 7. Does anyone have a solution to this? I am not sure if I have a hardware problem or a software problem.
Thanks,
J

All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

Photoshop CS6 constantly becomes unresponsive

Someone, please help!
Whenever I open a document a document (large size / small size / lots of layers / very few layers) photoshop opens the document, about 70% of the file previews and the Mac rainbow wheel starts spinning and Photoshop becomes entirely unresponsive (I'm only the phone with tech support and will finish after I'm off the call — thanks in advance for your patience.
They want me to close all apps (including this one).

MacBook Pro
Mac 10.6.8
Intel Core 2 Duo
2.8 Ghz
4GB RAM
275 GB Local Free Disc Space / Scratch Disc Space
Primarily work on files on Networked Servers (4TB)
I've installed all updates
Trashed Prefs (worked better briefly)
Started disabling all 3rd Party Plugins (worked better briefly)
Once the file opens, it previews 3/4 of the image in the file, and the rainbow wheel starts spinning. Photoshop becomes unresponsive. If I go to the find and open the Force Quit box, it states that Photoshop is unresponsive. Then I wait. Up to 5 minutes, sometimes 10. Sometimes Photoshop becomes responsive again. Sometimes it doesn't. I've just lost so many hours of productivity over the last 2 months since my update to CS6. I upgraded from CS4 which was amazingly fast and responsive — even with numerous other apps open.
Do I just not have enough memory or free disc space? If I have other applications running, my "efficiency" plumits. If I "Purge All". It comes back up. Is CS6 that much more intensive than CS4? I just need to get things humming again. Any thoughts / Ideas would be greatly appreciated.

InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop 5.5 become unresponsive

Hi,
I hope someone can help with this. All my Creative Suite 5.5 Apps become unresponsive after they are idle for 10-15 minutes or so. I have to force quit every time. It is a major pain -- I can't really find anything on any of the boards about this.
I am running Snow Leopard on a MacMini 2 GHz Core 2 duo with 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3.
I am using the latest version of Suitcase Fusion.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Extensis had determined the cause of this issue and has issued patch updates for both Suitcase Fusion 3 and Fusion 4. Please review this KBA and see attached links for the latest update installers:

Photoshop Elements 10 becomes non-responsive when using Dust & Scratch filter

Trying to apply the remove dust & noise filter in PS Elements 10. When the filter is applied, the hand tool becomes locked on and nothing further can be selected. All menu options become greyed out. Cannot even close program, have to force quit (running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4). Have already reset all tool options to try & resolve the hand tool locking. Have only encountered problem with this filter.
I've got a bunch of scanned photos I really need to use the Dust & Scratches filter for. Any help would be appreciated!

Restore default preferences
Preference settings control how Photoshop Elements displays images, cursors, and transparencies, saves files, uses plug‑ins and scratch disks, and so on. If the application exhibits unexpected behavior, the preferences file may be damaged. You can restore all preferences to their defaults.
Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift immediately after Photoshop Elements begins launching. Click Yes to delete the Adobe Photoshop Elements settings file.
A new preferences file is created the next time you start Photoshop Elements.

Photoshop Liquify Brush Size increase/decrease with alt+crtl drag don't work anymore...

Hi :-)
I have installed the last Update to Photoshop CS6 13.0.4...
Now I can't increase/decrease the Brush Size in the Liquify-Dialog anymore (before I installed the update, it works fine with alt+crtl and drag)...
If I press alt+crtl, the "Cancel"-Button is shown as "Revert", but the Brush resizing don't work... :-/
I use a Mac on OS X 10.6.8...
But it seems it has to do with the system... beacause at home I use 10.8.3 and there works everything fine with the 13.0.4 Update!!!

I bought my iMac about 2 1/2 years ago and now it's becoming increasingly slow. What can I do to fix this problem?

For the last couple of months I've noticed that my iMac has become really slow and sometimes freezes. I've always updated all my Programs and only use apple stuff. No shady software. I'm just trying to figure out if there's something that I can do as far as maintenance, etc to fix this

See the following:
Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.1 or higher are Intel Mac compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. Versions 1.5.1 or later are Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts had been significantly reduced in Tiger and Leopard. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc. Other utilities are also available such as Onyx, Leopard Cache Cleaner, CockTail, and Xupport, for example.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Backuplist
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
iBackup
JaBack
Silver Keeper
MimMac
Retrospect
Super Flexible File Synchronizer
SuperDuper!
Synchronize Pro! X
SyncTwoFolders
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup

Why did my paintbrushes in photoshop cs6 suddenly become pixelated?

I was working on photoshop one day and I scooted my monitor forward and suddenly all the brushes became pixelated. I tested using Paint, Flash and Illustrator and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with my monitor display, just something wrong with photoshop. The brushes all look like they're airbrushes or something when they're supposed to be smooth.
Here's a screenshot of various brushes being used (soft and hard brushes)
Help? Please?

Oh jeez, thank you

FRUSTRATION: G5 becoming increasingly slower

It saddens me to make this post, but after a couple of years my Mac G5 is becoming like every PC i ever owned... slower. I've gone through my hard drive and deleted EVERYTHING that was unnecessary thinking that was the cause... hasn't changed much. Start up has become extremely sluggish, but even after start up opening applications is also very slow. Seems like the hard drives just take forever... but this wasn't always the case.
- Mac OS X 10.4.11
- Dual 2.7 GHz PowerPC G5
- 3 GB DDR SDRAM
I have two hard drives...
original 250GB hard drive 85.14GB used, 148.49 available
an added drive purchased from apple - 115.49GB used, 117.27 available
any advice on where to begin or look on the computer to see what I can do on my end? I'm willing to take to apple store if i know what problem is and what needs to be done.

I'm guessing you did not check to see if that version of TechToolDeluxe is correct for 10.4.11? The latest version is 3.1.2 and will work on Leopard also. You could have burned a new one.
My second guess, is the version of TechToolDeluxe you have was not correct for 10.4.11 and hosed your system causing a Kernel Panic.
If it is hosed by TechTool another utility will not be able to fix it. Probably your only option is to Erase and Install. But you lost the disk. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to download and burn the updated version of TechTool and try it.
You said you ordered Leopard. The only way to install it, if I am correct, is the Erase and Install method; this will erase everything on the drive. Using any other method of installing will most likely leave you with serious problems.
Do you have a backup? Do you need the data on the drive in question?

Firefox has become so unstable I have to reload it every time I use it

XULRunner
Error: Platform version _____ is not compatible with minVersion >= 15.0
maxVersion <= 15.0
_____ = 13.0, 14.0 15.0 15.0.1
Regardless of what I do, removing ALL Mozilla Files, Passwords, Preferences etc... there crashes happens and now I am also getting BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH. If you don't know what that is you can't help me anyways. So what is the solution???

Did everything you said and when given the option to start Firefox up after install and I declined hoping to be able to copy everything before things got on wonky but sadly they downloaded badly. When I attempted to open Firefox XULRunner Error popped it's ugly head up once again 15.0 is not compatible despite downloaded version 15.0.1 Personally I think Firefox has become so horrible the last 3 patches I may stop trying to use it. IE 9 is slower, has worse navigation but doesn't require restarting my computer every time I download Firefox and use it One Time before it becomes unuseable. This is BullS_ _t.

Photoshop CC is becoming increasingly unstable...
