Photoshop freezes while saving

It seems like I´m having bad luck with my Photoshop CS6 again...
Since 4 days the whole program freezes the moment i klick ´save´. No matter if I want to save my brushes or a picture,it freezes every time.
The pictures are never bigger than 300 MB,and that never happened before. I can still open and close other programs in the background,just Photoshop freezes.
I can force it to close and it re-creates the pictures because of autosave,but as I said I can´t save them anymore.
I shut down my computer(I´m using OS X)and re-started it,all kind of these things.I also never open any other program when I work with Photoshop.I really don´t know what to do anymore

What have you done for trouble-shooting so far?

Excel 2010 Freezes while saving and computing when large files are opened.

Hi
The issue with with MS Office Excel 2010, where in if i open big files like greater than 40 or 50 mb file while saving or computing it takes lot of time
like say 10 to 15 seconds and some times more also.
This file i am referring is having around 5,000 row data and with around 15 sheets and has formula's and functions built into it.
As and when i try to delete or update one of the same the status bar show processing message and starts processing from 0 to 100% this takes
lot of time and during i feel my excel is frozen or system hanged kind of situation.
The query is what is the limitation of file size which can be opened in Excel 2010 where i can work with the same without any freeze or hanging.
need the same for Excel 2007 and 2013 versions also.
Note : other office products like work, power point works fine without any issue.

Hi,
I didn't find the exact size of the limitation of size for Excel 2010, but as for Excel 2013, I can tell you this:
32-bit environment is subject to 2 gigabytes (GB) of virtual address space, shared by Excel, the workbook, and add-ins that run in the same process. A data model’s share of the address space might run up to 500 – 700 megabytes (MB), but could be less if
other data models and add-ins are loaded.
64-bit environment imposes no hard limits on file size. Workbook size is limited only by available memory and system resources.
I think the articles below will be very helpful to you:
Excel specifications and limits
For 2007:http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/excel-help/excel-specifications-and-limits-HP010073849.aspx?CTT=1
For 2010:http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/excel-help/excel-specifications-and-limits-HP010342495.aspx?CTT=1
For 2013:http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/excel-help/excel-specifications-and-limits-HA103980614.aspx?CTT=1
Anyway, many factors may cause the freeze, such as hardware and add-ins, you may try starting Excel in Safe Mode to determine if it's add-ins related:
Press Win + R and type “excel /safe” in the blank box, then press Enter.
If there’s no problem in Safe Mode, disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which add-ins caused this issue.

Dreamweaver (CS 6 12.2) freezes while saving for 1 second

After the last Update Dreamweaver freezes for one second (with blue Spinner) while saving files. I cant do something, until the spinner disappears.
Why does saving a textfile take so long in the new version? Is this a bug? If yes: Is it possible to install older versions of Dreamweaver again? I have a CC Subscription.

Not sure why that would happen. I don't see the same thing here. You could try uninstalling and reinstalling. IIRC, you should get 13.0 again on a fresh install.
You can also have DWCS6 and DWCC installed at the same time (they just can't be used at the same time) if you are a subscriber. You can follow the instructions here to get it: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/download-previous-versions-creative-applications. html

Photoshop freezing while using 4.6

Windows XP Pro
CS3
Camera Raw 4.6
When opening a number of files, it will frequently freeze up and while I'll click on another image, the main image stays the same, but alterations are clearly being made to the image clicked on as seen in the strip. Sometimes I'll get a memory message when I try to atleast save the files that I've finished with or it will just stay frozen and have to be shutdown via Task Manager. There should not be a memory issue (have 6gb installed although it can't read that until I move to a 64bit OS - waiting for Windows 7 to make that change). I originally did have the cache as the C: drive where the program resides (has 500+ gb free), but switched to another drive that has over 200 gb free.
Any ideas on other things I can try?
Thanks.

are you opening Camera Raw via Photoshop or Bridge? If Photoshop, how much ram allocation do you have in Photoshop? If it's beyond the default 55% or so, return it to the default and try again...it sounds like your system itself is ram starved...

ICal freezes while saving backup file

I want to migrate from my iTunes account to my MobileMe/iCloud account. But before I can do that, I need to create a backup of my calendars. My problem is though, that iCal constantly freezes when I'm saving the backup file (via File > Export > iCal Archive…) and I have to force quit it after a while.
Any suggestions?

I've tried EVERYTHING, and this is a consistent problem across the years. What the **** is wrong? I can archive the calendar, even share it on iCloud, but it's nearly impossible to export!
I heard one way to do it is to delete most of your past events, but I need to keep records of where I've been and such. APPLE....SOLVE THIS! It's been a problem since 2008!

Is there anyway to retain layers in Photoshop Elements while saving to a .jpg format?

I'm new to using PSE, and I like their concept of layers so that the original photo is not altered, however, my preference is to save all of my files utilizing .jpg. I actually found out yesterday that after 3 weeks of scanning in very old family photos, then using PSE11 and utilizing layers and then saving to .jpg, that now when I reopen these files in PSE that the layers created are gone. Please help!

Hi, although I'm really disappointed to hear that JPEG file format does not allow one to preserve the layer structure, I like your suggestion to keep the original psd files on a separate external drive. I'm undertaking a massive job to scan in and then photoshop several generations of photos (estimated at over 8,000 photos), and as mentioned before I'd like to have all finished files saved as jpegs, but doing minimum compression as I know that it's a lossy format. I guess I'll need to think what's the likelihood of wanting to access the original photos again in psd so that the background layer is preserved. One last question if I may, you mentioned that converting over to jpeg is easy enough to do. Is it simply a matter of selecting each PSD file and saving as a .jpg or is there a faster and or bulk method to convert multiple files to jpeg? Thanks for all your help in fielding these questions?
If you google "batch conversion PSD to JPEG" you will get many hits for converters.
Your proposed work-flow is not clear to me. Are you planning to scan these photos and process all of them in PSE, then save them in PSD with the layers intact? Or, are you planning to scan them and simply save the scans without initial PSE processing?
I bring this up as I did a project last year, scanning/digitizing old 2x2" Kodacolor slides in the cardboard mounts. Initially I just scanned them and saved them to disk as JPEG. On further review, some were not interesting, others had folks in them whose identity remains cryptic, etc. The bottom line is that I was selective in processing them in PSE.
I wouldn't worry about JPEG compression as a deterrent unless you Open>modify>save, Open>modify>save repeatedly.

Indesign CS6 freezes while saving then crashes upon reopening

Hey Guys and Gals,
Little issue, I've been trying to trouble shoot this for a couple days now. But alas, no idea. It happens after a few hours of operating within Indesign and after many successful saves. I'll save a file and get the pinwheel(mac OSX 10.7.5) and subsequently have to force quit indesign. Upon reopening I don't get past initializing and get a crash heres the report:
http://pastebin.com/Sdm0tK3y
Let me know if anyone has a clue, thanks in advance!

ok I tried that, same symptoms now, with this crash report:

I've also reinstalled and cleared all indesign information caches, preferences, etc. Any help would be appreciated.

My copy of CS5 photoshop freezes when opening saved psds.

My copy of CS5 photoshop freezes when opening saved psds and currently I cant find my cd key for it (incase I need to reinstall) what should I do?

OS X 10.8.2
8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
It was working 3 days ago fine and I have been using it since cs5 first came out. It will freeze on any psd now and Ive tried even with small psds under 20megabytes. I can create new psds but after saving them then attempting to reopen it will freeze.

Freeze while installing Photoshop CS 5

I've been trying, unsuccessfully, to install Photoshop Extended on my MacBook. Things to consider:
Yes, I have the Java runtime installed
I've had photoshop in the past, including the trial for CS5. However, I uninstalled them weeks before trying to install the retail copy
I suspect that it's having trouble writing files. It will often freeze while installing fonts, or when installing the actual application for Photoshop.
The installer used to quit, but after I cleared a number of system adobe files, it will not quit, and the instalation process will go further. However, between 50% and 80%, the installer will lock up, and my Mac will lock up, forcing me to shut down by holding the power button.
Has anyone else had similar issues installing photoshop in Mac OS (Specifically Lion)?
Thanks!

I can't find a folder I created in photoshop while saving I pressed new folder. can anyone help? I have used the finder option, and it's not pulling it up!

I can't find a folder I made in photoshop while saving, i pressed new folder button, named it and saved several photos to it. It was easy in the begining while it was a recent folder. I could always find it as a recent folder. Now that it's not, I don't know where it is. And finder won't pull it up. Can anyone suggest a magic fix?

In the Finder (with a window open shown), type all or part of the folderName or the new fileName(s) as illustrated in EITHER field

Why does my entire computer freeze while opening or using After Effects or Premiere Pro CS5?

Just built a computer to meet all requirements for Adobe, Autodesk 3ds Max, and UDK, for school.

Disc Driver - LG DVD/CD RW... It is an OEM, Windows claims it is updated.
I use an external component - USB Microsoft Wireless Mouse & Keyboard 2000.
I have, as far as software goes...
Windows 7 64-bit SP1
Adobe Creative Suite 5, student version or what have you.
- I do have several plugins installed as well for After Effects only.
Autodesk 3ds Max 2012
-I have several maxscripts as well as a couple plugins for 3ds Max.
UDK 2-2012 & 3-2012
NVIDIA PhysX Lab 1.1
NVIDIA Texture Tools 2
NVIDIA plugin for Photoshop
xNormal
ConTEXT
UnCodeX
Quicktime
AVG Free
Malwarebytes
7-Zip
Java
Sculptris
As for anything else giving me issues I haven't noticed anything besides a previous Graphics Card wasn't supported very well at all with 3ds Max, it would freeze while using the material editor which was fixed with replacing a GTX550 ti with a more compatible GTX480. Thought maybe the upgrade would also solve the fact that almost everytime I go to start up and/or use After Effects or Premiere Pro CS5 my whole system freezes. Whether or not I'm doing anything, it occasionally happened during "Scrubbing" the timeline, but also during the splash load up screen. Would take the time to wait for several minutes but nothing would change. Hard reboot was needed. After countless hours of searching online I stumbled upon what is called an "Unlock" for Premiere Pro/After Effects to allow accelerated GPU and CUDA cores. Simple procedure, seems as if things go faster... When it is working. But still, I encounter freezes on my entire system. It isn't a crash back to Windows or anytihng. Just a complete freeze on the entire system. I have not extensively used other Adobe programs besides Photoshop quite briefly just so I could open menus and force a freeze within 5 minutes and noticed nothing wrong. Which in AE & PP just running through any of the menu windows can quickly cause a sudden freeze.
note* I have alternated shutting off and turning on OpenGL as well as multiprocessing. Doesn't matter, it really doesn't seem to change much of anything.
Alas, I am absolutely sure, after checking and re-checking 80+ hours over the past 2 weeks that yes, everything is updated as far as each individual program, software or hardware will allow me to update them. I have reinstalled Windows as well as each program up to 3 times, and 1 system (restore?) I had Windows dump everything, started from scratch, backed up nothing. To reinstall everything from scratch, while not installed several "Utilities" or software components from stuff like the Motherboard and its XFAST USB/LAN or whatever, thinking maybe it was cluttering up anything.
Please, if anyone has any ideas upon this and could give me advice, whether you notice any other incompatibilities or anything. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
note* I do not have a wired Keyboard or mouse to disable the USB plugin and attempt that route.. at least not yet, its on my list of things to do. Also, I did run Memtest86+ during a boot and it claims that everything there had passed 100%. I am not "overclocking" anything either. I just wanted something I could work smoothly on, that would have decent rendering capabilities. I used to use my girls' laptop which was an HP with 3GB RAM and never experienced crashes or freezes and I could use AE, PPro, 3ds Max with some lag but not any issues. Rendering took forever on it, but I usually avoided that 'cuz it would start heating up pretty fierce. Saved my rendering for school computers where I could. But either way, now I have this expensive piece and it is getting frustrating that I cannot work on it.
note* Also, incase it does help, I have Windows as well as any major components installed onto the C: drive (aka SSD for my system) while all my secondary software, such as Adobe, Autodesk, etc. are all installed directly to my D: drive (or HDD) And everything is set up to go through Windows Firewall as well.

Thanks all. I have just tried a few things, installing them onto the C drive as you all specified as not being one of them. I can understand it, but at the same time i have a classmate who has their software on a seperate drive and it runs smoothe. I'm on my second GPU in 2 weeks, unless I have terrible luck it seems doubtful being that I can run games and a majority of the software no problem. Through further testing around with a corded mouse and keyboard I've noticed the following...
The computer freezes entirely only when I'm performing a "scrubbing" action or using a mouse. Left clicking, scrolling, or moving it around. Otherwise if I do not use the mouse and I make all my actions, such as "scrubbing" in AE via "Page Up & Down" keys, there's no freeze and it preloads the preview no problem.
"Scrubbing" does not load a preview (the green bar doesn't load at all while scrubbing). But, also noticed no matter how smoothe everything is running in 3ds Max as well as PPro, once I start performing a "scrubbing" action with whatever timeline I use, it will definately freeze my whole computer, Windows and all. Hard reboot is neeed.
With having gone through 2 GPU's, done a full memtest via Windows 7 and Memtest86+, there seems to be no issue with my memory or GPU. Like I said, I've run UDK without an issue. Whether the editor or game. The USB doesn't seem like it's the cause, I've used both wireless as well as wired keyboards/mouse. Still freezes, but now only when using a mouse to "Scrub".
Is it possible my motherboard could be incompatible somewhere? I mean, really.. everything is brand new but 2 weeks of troubleshooting.
And I do plan on trying to run my software off the C drive, I just wanted to make sure it wasn't something else, like I said, I've seen and used a computer where it all runs off the D drive and it runs perfectly, actually better on his computer than off the C drive at my schools. So if it is an issue would it lie within the fact that I'm using an Nvidia GPU? Considering my classmate is using a AMD/ATI Radeon or something like that.
Again, to those who replied, your shared knowledge is greatly appreciated, thank you.

While saving multiple attachments from mail, files with same name are added and not replaced

Hi all
Hope to get some help with Elements Organizer.
I have 12-15 years of digital photos that I now want to import into my newly aquirede Adobe Elements Organizer / Photoshop. Since my Nikon names the files with continous numbers from 0001 to 9999 I have multiple files with the same name although they are not alike at all. My previous software had no problems with that since I keep the photos in separate file folders based on import date. I generally import photos after each event and so name the folder with the date and some event info (e.g. 2014.12.24 - Christmas at grandparents).
That is a common situation, I have the same limitation for files not going over 9999 on my Canons...
Now - when I import my photos into Elements Organizer I get a lot of error messages with "same name exist .....) Hmmmmmmm
Please sate the exact wording of the error message, I have never seen a message stating 'same name exist...' or equivalent; only messages about files already in the catalog. Files already in the catalog mean that some files have the same 'date taken' and file size in Kb.
Any suggestions. I'm using a mac and tried to rename files based on date taken. The mac can do that but it takes ages to go into each folder and run the renaming script there.
I also use a similar folder creation scheme (such a date naming is the default for the downloader). That way I never get a message about duplicates for the same file names.
However - I can't be the first or only person with this problem so I figure that some workaround must be known out there. Maybe the import action can recognize date taken or - well. Thank you very much in advance if you can help me out here.
You can alsways set the downloader to rename the imported files with a unique new name, there are many options in the 'advanced' dialog of the downloader. I don't know about Macs, but I don't thing there is a difference.

Photoshop edits not saved in iPhoto

I've set up Photoshop CS4 as my external editor in iPhoto, and this has been working well for quite a while. I usually edit in Photoshop and save over the original (both jpeg files) in iPhoto. However, today I noticed that my edited work was not showing up in the gallery view (i.e. even after saving over, the original version of the photo was shown in my gallery). On close-up I can view the edited photo, but once I edit another photo the previous photo I edited reverts to its original form. I've tried repairing the library and permissions by pressing option + command on startup, but the problem still remains. None of my edited work is saved once I close and reopen iPhoto. Please help! :-(

You are saving as a jpg (if the original file is a jpg), right? Check this workflow and see if you're doing anything significantly different than what's described. Screenshots are from Photoshop CS3 but should be similar to later versions.
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Screenshots are from PSE 10
Note 1: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.
Note 2: editing a RAW file with either PSE or PS creates a new file which must be saved outside of iPhoto, i.e. the Desktop, and imported as a new photo into the iPhoto Library.

Freezes while using salesforce

I was using Firefox on my work laptop until it started freezing while using salesforce.com. It seems to have started around the time v13 came out but i can't say for certain. I've attempted to remedy it by disabling all plugins but that did not help.
Thanks

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
1. Clear Firefox's Cache
Firefox menu > Preferences > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Offline Storage : "Clear Now"
2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here (this will log you out)
Tools menu > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page and logging in again. Does that help?
