Photoshop CC version - freezing when making changes

I have CC version - working in Photoshop - any changes keep freezing on screen - I reset the tools, I have restarted the program, tried file in 32 & 64 bit - any suggestions?

Thanks but didn't seem to help - example: simply changing a line of type to BOLD it will show the last few letters bold - to actually see it I have to slightly move the line or press 'esc', I reset the 'essentials' setting too hoping that might help.
I'm wondering if I should delete and reinstall? I'm on the latest version.

    Thank you for responding.  Nothing actually worked!  After reading the posts online, I called Apple.  They indicated they have seen problems with some software after their upgrades.  The technician was able to fix the problem on my computer remotely, but I have no clue what he did!  But, it was definitely related to their recent upgrade to my computer.

    A fully loaded one( keep in mind I have had fully loaded projects in the past, and it did not take this long) this was noticed after installing LP8, also major latencey even at 64 buffer size

  • Photoshop CS6 keeps freezing when I work with large files

    I've had problems with Photoshop CS6 freezing on me and giving me RAM and Scratch Disk alerts/warnings ever since I upgraded to Windows 8.  This usually only happens when I work with large files, however once I work with a large file, I can't seem to work with any file at all that day.  Today however I have received my first error in which Photoshop says that it has stopped working.  I thought that if I post this event info about the error, it might be of some help to someone to try to help me.  The log info is as follows:

    I really hope to hear from someone soon, my job requires me to work with Photoshop every day and I run into errors and bugs almost constantly and all of the help I've received so far from people in my office doesn't seem to make much difference at all.  I'll be checking in regularly, so if you need any further details or need me to elaborate on anything, I should be able to get back to you fairly quickly.
    Thank you.

    Here you go Conroy.  These are probably a mess after various attempts at getting help.

  • Disco Plus - hangs when making changes to reports with lots of worksheets

    Have run into this several times and the problem seems to go away sometimes on its own and then reappear at a later date.
    Have a report that contains 11 worksheets. Can run any of the worksheets with no issues. However, when making a change to any worksheet, Disco hangs on the edit screens and I eventually receive the message "Contact with the Discoverer server has been lost. To continue your work, please restart Discoverer Plus. If this problem persists, please contact your Oracle Application Server administrator" I have tried restarting Disco Plus several times over the course of several days and still the same issue. I have no problems making changes to this same report through Disco Desktop.
    I have also tried moving out the individual worksheets from this report as separate reports and they work fine and can be updated with no issues. This seems to only be a problem when there are many worksheets within 1 workbook.
    Would appreciate any assistance.
    Disco Plus 10.1.2.54.25

    Hi Stephanie,
    We have 30,000 employees in our company so i sympathise completely!
    You shouldn't need to separate each worksheet and make the change separately. The problem we experience is only in Discoverer Plus. I think it has something to do with the memory allocation on the server, which Plus must use. In Desktop we've found that reports like that are fine. They may take a while to save but in terms of editing reports its ok, because the memory on the machine is being used. If you're having problems in Desktop i'd check your PC spec.
    I wouldn't say its a program error, not enough memory on the server more like, particularly as you're saying that sometimes you can't do anything and then other times it all works fine. Have you got lots of Discoverer Plus users in your company? If so try coming into work a little earlier and try it then or at the end of the day. If lots of people are running reports its going to slow down.
    It could also be that the DBAs haven't allocated enough memory as DBAs generally don't like Discoverer. They love to blame database/server performance problems on Discoverer. We proved them wrong. On one occasion they blamed a major outage on a report that I was running. It was a big report. But they ran traces, plugged in their diagnostics stuff and got me to run the report. It showed up as this tiny blip, they were so embarassed!!
    They just need to intelligently configure stuff, build a good data warehouse etc. I use the word stuff because I don't really know much about servers, warehouses, LPARs etc etc. I do think that quite a few DBAs don't embrace Discoverer because they see it as a hindrance to their jobs. If I was keeping a database up and running I wouldn't want cheeky business users 'playing around' with massive data extracts on my turf!
    We have found that sometimes its easier to write a report from scratch in plus than editing it. When you make a change it takes longer to apply it, especially when adding a sort or changing formats. The annoying thing about formatting for us is that we have to use corporate colours, and desktop doesn't do hex values so all our formatting is done in plus.

  • Photoshop Elements 11 freezes when selecting Photomerge

    Photoshop Elements 11 freezes after selecting images in the tray and then selecting Photomerge/Group Shot or Photomerge/Scene Cleaner.  The program does not respond and then exits after Windows checks for a solution.  I tried this with 2 images of size 3000x2000.  The system is Win7, Intel i5, 8GB RAM, 10GB free SSD and >500GB HDD (set in Edit/Preferences).
    Since the app freezes immediately I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this problem. 
    Any help would be appreciated.

      Are you able to drag a source image into the editing window or select any of the tools e.g. pencil or eraser. If not use the menu in Expert mode and go to:
    Edit >> Preferences >> General
    Click the button “Reset Preferences on next launch”
    Then close the application and re-start.
    Let us know if that makes any difference.

  • My iphone 4 keeps freezing when making calls and the speaker is going

    my iphone keeps freezing when i make calls and the speaker is really quiet even at high volume

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue(s) are resolved.

  • Photoshop Elements 11 freezes when attempting to backup the catalog

    I just upgraded from version 10 hoping that this problem goes away, but that is not the case. I also changed PCs some months ago and this is my first attempt to backup the catalog using my new PC which has a Windows 8 system.
    Essentially, when I attempt to backup the catalog, Photoshop first prepares the files, and then goes to "calculating media size". It then freezes at the 85% mark. I have tried many solutions as suggested by various commentators & forums. I have uninstalled Photoshop 10 & 11, and reinstalled 11 as an administrator, but that has not helped so far. Thanks for any help you can offer.

    I moved the topic from the Photoshop forum to the Elements forum, where you are much more likely to get a response on Elements issues.

  • IPhone freezes when I change contact name

    Hello guys
    So, my girlfriend has an iPhone 5S and when I/She try to change the name of any contact the smartphone freezes and I have to power it off.
    I tried updating it to the lastest iOS version but it didn't solve the problem.
    What should I do?

    Hi Jersep,
    Since this is an issue that has carried over from one device to a new device, it seems like the source of this issue may be from your data in your backup. Try using the following article to restore your software and test the device as a new phone, free from your backup data, to see if this affects the issue:

  • Need help with an error message when making changes to an IMAP account

    I have several IMAP accounts in my Mac Mail. Today when I tried to edit the, "Full Name" associated with the account I got an error message that said:
    Invalid Directory
    The account path /Users/kristen/Library/Mail/[email protected]@host365.ISPhost.com is already being used by the account "Silver"
    Did I somehow corrupt something? I'm not sure why making this small change to the full name would cause such an error. Please help.
    Thanks!!

    stop() forcibly kills a thread. You shouldn't use this method because if the thread is in a critical section of code, you can cause data corruption or deadlock.
    Instead, if you need to stop execution from another thread, invoke the interrupt() method.
    Good luck.

  • Photoshop elements 10 freezes when creating slideshow from album

    It seems pretty simple to just select a few pictures from the organizer, select create, select slideshow.  A box comes up asking my preferences and when I say OK, the program freezes.  Any thoughts?

    Anwesha,
    I did delete the psa.prf and status.dat files, opened photoshop elements, opened organizer, opened the catalog, hit repair, the system said it did not need to be repaired.
    When finished, I selected a few photos, hit create, hit slideshow.  The editor box came up, I hit OK to the preferences, then it locked up again.  All other functions in the create category are working fine.   So I tried the same thing all over again, deleting the files you suggested, and went back into the catalog, hit repair and when it said it did not need to be repaired, I hit ‘repair anyway’.  It still did not work.
    Thanks for your continued help.

  • Photoshop CS3 suddenly freezing when Saving

    Can someone help me? I've been running photoshop cs3 successfully up until yesterday when after working on layers and cropping etc, i go to SAVE and suddenly it freezes up. I've got 4 RAM, plenty of space on my harddrive. (i use external drives) I did a few small steps yesterday under preferences, and even uninstalled an reinstalled. Still doing same thing. Any advice? thank you.

    Try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776?tstart=0
    You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
    This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
    (A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.)

  • Photoshop CC 2014 freezes when I render video

    Hi,
    I'm using Photoshop CC 2014 trial to do short frame animations. The problem is that when I try to export (export -> render video) Photoshop  freezes completely and I have to force quit. My computer also restarted by itself one time. Someone is experiencing the same problem?
    Thanks
    Angelica.

    I am using Photoshop CC 64 bit on a Windows 8.1 machine (I7-3820, 32 gig RAM) and am constantly getting problems rendering videos.
    i) click on render video and just get spinning wheel
    II)click on  render video progress bar opens gets 90% of way then hangs.
    III) click on render video and video render window opens, set parameters, click go and spinning wheel
    iv)click on render video and video render window opens, set parameters, click go and success
    All this with exactly the same original and edits.
    I have looked at what is happening in Task Manager and consistently in cases i to iii Photoshop is using about 12% of CPU but importantly is using only one of the 8 processors (4 real, 4 hyper) available.  When it is rendering properly (case iv) all 8 cores are in use.  This indicates to me that the program is locked in an endless loop of some sort, the only way out is to kill the Photoshop process.
    My work round is to do all my edits, save everything then keep attempting to render until I get success.

  • Premiere Pro CC (latest version) freeze when loading some projects

    This seem to happen kinda random but I started working on a project and I've opened and saved it several times but all of a sudden it freeze Premiere Pro when opening it. Everything seems to open okay but the thumbnails are gone in the project folder and it just hangs until I do a "Force Quit". The project opens fine in SpeedGrade and it will also import in After Effects.
    When opening it in premiere it asks me to locate two preview files which is no longer available (I did a cleanup trough the Adobe software earlier today, so nothing deleted manually).
    Any idea what could cause this? All media used in the project is located in the same folder as the project file.

    Thanks for getting back to me!
    1) I started the project in the latest version (2014.1)
    2) Yes, I've normalized the audio level on several movieclips in Audition
    3) When Premiere freeze the CPU load is minimal. Like 0,5%.
    4) If I create a new project I can import the old project without any problems but then I couldn't find the timeline. The media files ends up in a folder but without the effect controls etc.
