Photoshop CS 6 is freezing frequently

PS CS6 has been freezing a lot.
I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it.
It started after I installed the plug-in Portrait Professional, however I don't have be using that plug-in for it to happen.
I'm using a Mac Pro (not a MacBook Pro), with OSX 10.8.4.
It happens when I try to load Nik's Color Efex Pro 4 from a Smart Object layer.
I never had a problem with Color Efex Pro 4 before.
Note that Portrait Professional is greyed out when PS locks up since it won't work on a Smart Object.
Thanks for any help!

Did you "update" over your old mac os or did a new install of mac os x 10.10?
The only thing from adobe i could find:

Mac OS X Lion Server screen freezes frequently

I have recently purchased the Mac Mini Server with 8GB RAM Upgrade and have been experiencing screen freezes frequently. The Mac Mini is connected to a ViewSonic LED Monitor via an HDMI cable and is running Mac OS X Lion Server.
It all started a month ago and I suspected it was due to an external hard disk I had. When I removed it the problem didn't crop up for a few weeks. So I thought the issue was resolved.
Over the past week the problem re-surfaced again and nearly everyday I am experiencing screen freezing about five times a day and the only option is to power down my Mac Mini Server from the power button. This is becoming increasingly frustrating. When screen freezing occurs, everything freezes and I get some small rectangular boxes on screen moving.
The only things that have changed over the past week was that I installed the latest Safari fix and connected the Harman Kardon Sounsticks II to the Mac Mini.
Can't understand what is happening. From various threads I read, many mac users are experiencing screen freezes. If anyone has any resolutions please let me know.

Lion has a screen refresh bug it is just the screen going to sleep and the the screen updating only where the curser moves.

Why is my Photoshop Elements 5.0 freezing everytime I try to download pics?

Why is my Photoshop Elements 5.0 freezing everytime I try to download pics from card?

Thanks for your response. When it comes to computers, I am almost
illiterate. I have a HP Pavillion PC and have used Photoshop Elements 5.0
for a number of years. Computer crashed couple of weeks ago and I sent it
back to HP. They returned it with new guts I think. Had to reinstall my
programs and use my external backup to get all the stuff back, including
about 11,000 pics. Now, every time I try to put the SD card in to download
the pics to the Organizer, it downloads about 4 or 5 pics and freezes.
Have to use task manager to get PC going again. Been doing the same thing
for years and this just happened since I got new PC back. Is that any help?
'preciate your response.

New Mac Pro Freezes frequently in FCP

We recently replace our G5 video editing computer with a new Mac Pro. We are running most current version of Final Cut, Quicktime and Leopard. 8GB RAM. Our G5 virtually never froze up, but the new one freezes frequently during editing. Beach ball that doesn't go away w/o holding down the start button on the computer.
All sw was clean install on the new machine.
Anyone else experiencing or have suggestions?
Thanks!

Putting the Project file on another drive does ZERO for performance. Keep it on your system drive.
Trash preferences
Use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions
Remove your RAM and see if you still have issues.
Those are my suggestions.

My photoshop elements 9 keeps freezing, can you help me?

My photoshop elements 9 keeps freezing, can you help me?

Hi,
Please try couple of probable solutions as mentioned below:
Solution 1:
1. Close Elements.
2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
Solution 2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
Solution 3: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
Solution 4:
On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
Go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere else.
Now launch PSE and check if it works.

MacBook Pro freezes frequently

I bought a Macbook Pro last year in september for school.
Now i have the problem that it freezes frequently, at seemingly random times.
It happens about once a month.
Is there any way to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.

nivora,
which model MacBook Pro did you buy last September? Which version of OS X is currently installed on it?
If you boot your MacBook Pro into Safe mode, log in, and run your usual tasks there, does it still freeze frequently then?

Satellite C850 touchpad freezes frequently

I got a Satellite C850 last weekend and I'm having issues with the mousepad - it freezes frequently.........any help greatly appreciated - really don't want to have to send it in for repair after only 5 days

Try to update the touchpad software/driver.
Visit the Toshiba EU driver page:
http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
Choose the notebook model you own, and download the touchpad driver.
I guess its from Synaptics.
You could also try the original touchpad software from Synaptics driver page:

Good luck dude

My iphone 4s freezes frequently!!

My iphone 4s freezes frequently!! it has frozen more than 5 times since I got it yesterday! Is anyone facing the same issue? Is there a solution.. yet?

I have the exact same problem. I've had mine for 33 hours, used it really for 29 hours, after charging it, and it's frozen at least 5 times. Just happened again before googling the issue, which led me to this post.
Mine is an AT&T black 32GB iPhone 4S.
It has frozen on the lock screen, in apps (3rd party AND native iOS 5 apps), and done weird things in camera mode (sensing accelerometer movements backwards, pan L+R caused image to tilt up+down on-screen)...
The freezing seems like the digitizer (touch panel) mainly, but it could be that the entire display was frozen. Hard to tell because the screen(s) it was on didnt have any animated content.
Either way, things get normal later, but I'm not too happy. This shouldnt be happening.
Also, twice I've lost almost all my folders on my iPhone, after syncing. At the stage of copying apps from iTunes to my new phone (first time was restorIng from iPhone 4 backup. Second time just syncing after changing some placement of apps on iTunes' side) the apps ended up spread over pages of iPhone "desktop" instead of in their carefully arranged folders.
Not thrilled. Battery life horrible too. Fully charged 8 hrs ago, only used camera somewhat heavily for a half hour, and it's 12% now. 88% drain in exactly 8 hours? Wow. Hopefully that is just a calibration issue. I even have push turned off, as well as ping, and auto brightness. Bluetooth off. I did notice location services are running in the taskbar almost constantly. Wld disable that, but it kind of destroys the function of several iOS 5 enhancements.
So in summary, I also have freezing issues, and other random issues. Along with battery drain. Hope someone knows what's up. Or should I return mine?

Mac Pro freezes frequently after "NVChannel" error in system.log

Hi,
Can anybody here with a 2008 Mac Pro run the Folding @ Home client without hard crashing the Mac?
I have a 2008-model Mac Pro, with the nVidia GeForce 8800 GT, which freezes frequently. As detailed in an earlier post[1], the graphics driver sees to be implicated, as just before the freezes, messages like this appear in the system log:
kernel kern 3/30/08 7:53:52 PM Debug NVChannel(GL): Graphics channel exception! status = 0xffff info32 = 0x6 = Fifo: Parse Error
kernel kern 3/30/08 7:53:52 PM Debug 0000000b
If you google for "NVChannel freeze" then you will find many many Mac owners whose machines freeze with similar symptoms. Apple recently released the "Leopard Graphics Update" which fixes such problems for some users, but not others.
In my 2008 Mac Pro's case, I have found a way to trigger the freeze 100% of the time: install the freeware Folding@Home client[2], and run the demo in the Applications folder. Just opening this app causes those messages to appear in the log, and then the Mac freezes.
I work for a software company which writes Mac software, so now that I have found a reliable way to reproduce this issue, I will be filing a bug report through Apple's bug system. But for my own sanity, I would like to collect more info, if possible.
If you have a 2008 Mac Pro and want to be cool, try running the Folding @ Home client app (link below) and post in this thread:
a.) whether or not your Mac froze
b.) what video card you have
c.) how much RAM you have
Thanks!

Yup… this is a memory fault and you should firstly try reseating the RAM and memory Risers (even change the slots they are in - depending on your configuration of course). The can often remove these issues.
Failing that, I would contact the RAM vendor and discuss it with them. Depending on how they sell things it might be simpler to send a kit, as in two DIMMs, back for replacement rather than a single DIMM that is part of a kit. Also, unless they specifically match your original DIMMs then you'd be better of returning both.

Mac freezing frequently

Hi -- This evening the Mac started freezing frequently. I have rebooted three times,and am worried that I have contracted a virus. I have no virus software, and have heard rumors that Mac is now vulnerable to new viruses. What shall I do now

Two macs to one hard drive via a kvm or two pc's to a hard drive via a kvm are ok. But a mac and pc to a hard drive no. You need to format the drive so it is acceptable to the system. Windows, probably FAT32 or NTFS. Mac, OS X Extended. While a mac can read those formats and write FAT32 I wouldn't want to back up in that format. You really want a bootable backup (I don't use Time Machine).
Also, kvm? Does that mean you would be connecting through incredibly slow USB?
Get two externals, one of each machine. Use Firrewire if you don't have thunderbolt. At least it is faster than usb.

Mouse freezes frequently (Magic and USB both)

My mouse freezes frequently. I have tried a Magic Mouse with fresh batteries and a USB mouse, and the problem happens in both. It is very frustrating! It will freeze for 5-20 seconds, sometimes every minute for several minutes, sometimes it will go an hour without freezing. What can I do?

I have been having this problem for a few weeks now.
I researched lots of threads but haven't seen this problem happening recently or in the latest update / with multiple types of mice / etc.
I should add that the keyboard (USB) is not having any connection problems.
