Photoshop CS6 freezes for 25-45 seconds when using brushes

Has anyone had a cure for this?
[win 7 pro
AMD X4 quad core 3.2 Ghz CPU
16 Gigs of 1600 speed RAM
Seagate HDD
NVidia Geforce 610 graphics card]
I cruising along on my project, and I grab a brush, my curser disappears, I cannot click any other button, not even the desktop. The entire system freezes up from 25 to 45 or more seconds.
I am using a wireless Logitech mouse. Could it be a USB problem?

From experience, these types of problems are usually bugs in the video card drivers. Sometimes a newer driver introduces a Liquify bug that older drivers did not have. Some users have uninstalled the newest driver and installed older drivers to fix problems they were experiencing. If this works for you please post the driver version so others can benefit. I will send a bug report to NVidia.

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?

Firefox frequently freezes for 30-60 seconds when I click on bookmarks, bookmark buttons, almost anything really.

Firefox frequently freezes for 30-60 seconds when I click on bookmarks, bookmark buttons, almost anything really. It has been doing this ever since I downloaded the latest update (7.0.1). It is really frustrating. Can you please help?

You will also notice that your shift key will be emulated. Meaning that keys you will try to press will press but they will act like you are pressing the shift key when you are doing them.
Try this, minimize the firefox window by pressing the tab on your taskbar. After doing that maximize it again. You will magically be able to click any link on your page. When you navigate to a new page however, the entire situation will start all over. My only remedy is rebooting and hoping it doesn't happen again soon.

InDesign CS6 hangs for a few seconds when transforming group (OSX 10.8)

I'm testing InDesign CS6 under OS X 10.8. Seems to work without problems - except one thing which I noticed several times while working on a document (that I was working on under 10.7 as well, without problems):
I transform a group of objects (mostly placed Illustrator EPS) by dragging one corner of the group (with one or more modifier keys). After a few moments InDesign gets unresponsive (it freezes, cursore won't move, although you can change apps via Alt+Tab). Activity monitor shows 100% CPU usage (for one CPU core, at least). After a few seconds, everything goes back to normal.
Process analysis looks sth like that (it goes on and on like this):
This might be a problem related to this very document. On the other hand, this worked flawlessly under 10.7. So maybe someone at Adobe wants to look into that?

Thanks, I'll try that.
In the meanwhile, I opened another document that contains the same group of objects. No hangs here. So this might indeed be a problem related to the document itself.

Photoshop CS6 asking for licence, invalid code when entered

Hi there,
I've been subscribed to the Adobe Creative Cloud Photoshop since February last year. In the last week, I haven't been able to open my Photoshop because it tells me my trial has expired. When I enter the licence code again, it says it is invalid.
I thought perhaps it was an issue with my subscription having run out, but I checked on my account and it's renewed, and I've already been charged for this month. I'd really appreciate some help - I don't want to cancel and restart it because I'd have to pay again because I'd be paying twice for this month.
It's probably an easy fix. I just suck at computer stuff.
Thanks.

Firefox freezes for around 10 seconds when loading a video on YouTube

So everytime I'm loading a video on YouTube, it takes a very long time to load (10-15 seconds) and while the video is loading Firefox becomes completely unresponsive. I can't do anything until the video is loaded, and when it takes such a long it becomes annoying.
I have the newest versions of both Firefox and Flash Player.

Does this happen with other browsers as well? If no, maybe an extension is interfering. Here is how you can disable them to test that: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Uninstalling%20add-ons#w_how-to-disable-extensions0-personassf-and-plugins

Songs pausing for a few seconds when using speaker docking system

Got a Logitech AudioStation speaker docking system. Every 3 or 4 songs played seems to pause for up to 5 seconds then continues playing normally. The pause icon doesn't appear on the ipod, just the play icon. The countdown timer pauses though. Also skipping songs with remote control a problem. Sometimes skips two with one press. Also takes a few seconds to 'think' between songs. ipod also defaults to shuffle album every time it's docked. Anyone else experienced these problems? Is it docking system or ipod?

Safari freezes for a split second constantly

Hi, my safari freezes for a split second when scrolling up and down a page before resuming all the time, it also does it whilst streaming video like youtube, So its briefly starts/stops, really starting to annoy me, can anyone help?
thanks

had this come up from tech tool deluxe,
how do I find and check recently installed hardware?
Video RAM
Failed
Video RAM, as all components of your video circuitry, must be fully functional for graphics to be properly displayed. Damaged VRAM can cause missing bits, screen noise, system lock ups, or freezes. TechTool Deluxe tests the VRAM on the Macintosh main logic board, as well as some third-party video cards.
If the VRAM test should fail, try these steps in order and run the test again after each step:
o Quit all other applications.
o Restart the system.
o Check any recently-added hardware for proper installation.
o Run the computer from another volume (if available).
o Reinstall the OS.
o Contact AppleCare.

Photoshop CS6 freezes when closing files

Photoshop CS6 running on Windows XP SP3. It freezes for 3:51 minutes when we close an image that we have switched to grayscale.
After some troubleshotting I discovered that the WebClient service would try to make an HTTP connection with our main file server. Becasue there is no web server running on the server, the client doesn't recieve any replies from it. The PC would make 11 attempts to make a connection each taking 21 seconds and durting this time Photoshop would be frozen. After the 11 attempts Photshop would unfreeze.
The workaround is to set the WebClient service to manual. Does anyone know how to configure Photoshop so it doesn't try to make HTTP connetions to our fileserver?
Thanks in Advance
Alex

Hello, I update my mac pro to 10.10. Why the photoshop cs6 change to slowly now. When I change the tools like brush to command+Z, It's will be freeze a while. why? and how can I improve?

hello, I update my mac pro to 10.10. Why the photoshop cs6 change to slowly now. When I change the tools like brush to command＋Z， It's will be freeze a while. why? and how can I improve?

what a long post....Apple, btw, does not read this stuff, so ranting, raving, and complaining here might make you feel good, but it does no good at all. That being said, I, too have a Mac Pro Quad Core Xeon with 6 gigs of ram and an nVidia 8800 GT graphics card (not as good as yours, alas) and I've had no problems at all with it. Yes, it doesn't have Thunderbolt, but maybe we Mac pro owners will get lucky and someone will come out with an adapter (probably not). No, you probably don't have to throw away your Mac Pro, but if you do, I'll take it, for a small "recycling" fee >:-) That was a joke. Yes, the Mac Pro's future isn't quite clear, YET. Hopefully that will improve very soon. As for not being able to upgrade to Mountain Lion. Don't worry about that too much, Nobody is forcing you to do that. Your Mac Pro won't quit working if it isn't installed. From what I've heard, you should give the new OS a chance, and wait to get it, in case there might be some bugs, or stuff not working with the new OS, which has been known to happen. Yes, we Mac Pro owners don't like being treated like mushrooms-kept in the dark, and being fed......... but Apple is Apple and it will do what it does, and there is nothing you or me can really do to change that. All I can say is....trust, have faith, be patient, go for a walk, do something else to take your mind off of this problem. IF apple decides to drop the Mac Pro for good, and that's a big "IF", I think they will anger a whole bunch of people
which isn't good. However, that hasn't happened...YET. Let us hope that it doesn't

I installed photoshop cs6 in my new computer and when it asks me for my serial number I write it but it wont accept it

I installed photoshop cs6 in my new computer and when it asks me for my serial number I write it but it wont accept it

There are two steps when entering a serial number:
When you enter it in the 24-digit field, you should see a green checkmark. If you see a red x, you may have mis-typed the number, as Ben pointed out, it could be for a suite instead of a standalone product.
If it takes the number and installs, then activation is the next step. If it fails to activate, you may have exceeded your activations or the number might have been retired.
In that case, contact Customer Care with proof of purchase.

When workign with video, logic freezes for a few seconds then playbacks

Dear all,
When i am working with video in logic 9.1, the playback freezes for a few seconds and then plays smoothly. This is irritating as when u score for movies, u cant sync the sounds. I tried converting the mov file into various formats, but still no luck. Strangely, the demos given with logic(the ones with videos) plays smoothly without the freezing.. pls help ...
thanks

Ken,
Yes , you were right. i researched on video formats and found, logic will only support uncompressed video formats. Like u said, i opened quicktime and exported my movie to DV coding. It works fine.. I also found out that, to have less CPU load, convert you video to "photo jpeg" coding.. Its smoother !!!1
Cheers
