Photoshop hanging every few seconds on 2011 Mac with 12 GB RAM and 2.7 Ghz Intel Core I5

My photoshop begins to hang and freeze as soon as it is opened.  Cant even open a file without getting the spinning wheel.  Any ideas on how to fix this issue?

What exact version of Photoshop?  Machine specs?  A lot more details are needed.

    Im trying to install Photoshop Elements premier 12 on my new Mac with the latest update and i keep getting the same failed to initialise message. I was able to register the key code at first but now im not able to either open the program or reinstall it.

    What is "Photoshop Elements Premier 12"? Do you mean Photoshop Elements or Premiere Elements? Were your files copied over from a previous mac that had PSE installed on it?

    The downloads are probably .dmg files (disk images).  You would open the disk image (double-click it) to find the application or an installer.  If it's the application itself, you then drag the application to your Applications folder to "install" it.  If it's an installer, double-click the installer to run the installer that installs the application.

  • Firefox Hanging Every Few Seconds

    I just installed brand new Firefox 25.0.1 on a Mac Mini (running Mountain Lion 10.8.2) just two weeks ago, and since day one I've been having the same problem that lots of other people are having, and that's the constant half-second delays that happen about every 4 to 5 seconds. Even typing this post, the delays are there. Pulling down menus and selecting items, trying to move the scroll bar, or playing youtube videos, Firefox keeps hanging briefly every few seconds. It's maddening.
    I never had any problem with Apple's Safari browser (the only reason I switched to Firefox was because Safari Ad Block stopped working and I needed Download Helper). That this problem exists on PC and Mac means it's nothing specific to the computer, but to Firefox.
    What I wish would not be given the same generic advice that never seems to work, like reinstall Firefox (it was already installed cleanly, what would a reinstall do?), but have somebody at Mozilla actually explain what is causing the problem, or if they plan to ever fix it.
    So far I only have a temporary fix, which is to completely quit out of Firefox and re-run it. That solves the problem for a little while, but within an hour or two, or three, it's back to the same problem. There are plenty of other threads that mention this or similar problems (see below), but all seem to be on PC's not Macs, and none seem to give a 100% universal fix for everybody.
    How to stop Firefox from hanging and lagging?
    firefox freezes every few seconds even with latest update and pluging
    my Firefox freezes every a few seconds , so will you fix it ?

    You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
    Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

  • Flash CC hangs every few seconds on Mac

    I work on two different Macs, one at home and one at work. On both of them, Flash will hang for a few seconds very frequently. I will be using the brush tool, the stroke doesn't appear, after a second or so there will be a spinning beach ball for another 2-3 seconds, then the stroke appears as a straight line and I have to undo. Both machines are running Mountain Lion. Has anyone else had this happen?

  • HP Split X2 randomly hangs every few seconds after start-up

    My HP Split X2 running Windows 8.1 will sometimes, not all of the time, act very very slowly during shut down and boot up. The spinning dots spin very slowly, and the lock screen and login screens are very laggy. Then, after about 15 minutes, everything goes back to normal performance.
    And, this problem doesn't even happen all of the time. Yesterday, for almost the entire day, it acted this way. Then, at night, it was normal, and is normal as I type this. What's more is that when it happens, I watch the Task Manager, and CPU, Memory, and Disk are all normal. No spikes in usage. I have also confirmed that no automatic maintenance is running during this time (this was the case a few times in the past so I eliminated this as a root cause). I also ran full system diagnostics (Esc and then F2 during boot) and no problems were found.
    Anyone else had this random, not always reproducible problem? How can I troubleshoot it if it doesn't happen all of the time?

    the one I have is exactly as you describe too.
    When it is having its episode the mouse pad is totally random and you cannot select anything although the touch screen i less so but I cannot select my password via picture in win 8.1.
    Again i have scanned for malware and virus, the machine has all the latest from microsoft and HP.
    My ralink wireless card is next to useless if i am more than 2 meters from the router is this a common fault also?

  • Address Book: Refreshing Every Few Seconds. . .

    ... I have a address book count of 1,132 cards,whenever am attempting to use these contacts; Address Book keeps refreshing like every 30-sec or so... greatly slowing down my work flow; often having to wait for it to catch up ........ help!!!
    smiles..
    Anthony

    ... not doing anything unusual, Sharing is (???) and Contacts are all local: first notice this occurrence when simply editing / adding new contacts to the address book; in the middle of editing each card, it just (what appears to be) refreshes each card, by card, by card; all 1000+ of them ... it also does this during any kind of interaction with Address book, ie: adding / deleting / viewing / searching ... doesn’t matter what you are doing; if interacting with address book, it stops responding (losing command of the app), and appears to update each and every card; then later comes back to your control... this happens like every few seconds during your session with Address Book.

  • 2011 MBP with 8GB of RAM, generally slow under Lion, possibly thrashing

    I have a 17" 2011 MBP with 8GB of RAM and the fastest CPU available at the time.  It came with Snow Leopard, and it was really fast with basically everything I threw at it.
    Since the upgrade to Lion, it has a general tendency to get really unresponsive.  My workload hasn't fundamentally changed.  Rather than just hope it's bugs in Lion that will get fixed, I'd like to see if anyone can advise me on things I might investigate, either to fix things myself, or to be more intelligent about identifying bugs I can report.
    One thing I notice is that Time Machine backups will bring the system to its knees.  Everything will be going along just fine, and then TM will kick on, and all my apps will stop responding.  Once TM has finished, things will slowly come back to normal.  There's a lot of disk activity, which I have assumed was swapping.  Another thing that causes trouble is that mds (and a whole bunch of mdsworkers) will frequently kick on, and will slow down the system.
    CPU load is always quite low, but free memory is always very low.  (However, in some OS's Free Memory is misleading, because a lot of disk blocks are cached in RAM, so it's not really "used" either..)
    What I can't really distinguish for sure is if the system is slow because of swapping/thrashing (which is what I assume) or if it's slowed down for some other reason related to disk activity.
    Here are the apps I typically run:
    - NetBeans (which is a pig, taking up over 1GB or real memory)
    - Safari (which is also a pig, often taking up more than 1GB between the main Safari process and the Web Content process)
    - Sometimes Parallels (2GB for the VM, and probably another 1GB for other stuff, because it's also a pig)
    - kernel_task typically reports taking up over 1GB of real memory
    - WindowServer also reports using 280MB
    - various other small apps like Mail, NetNewsWire, Preview, Terminal, Adium, Smultron, Colloquy, none of which use much memory
    I got the 8GB, because I knew I was going to use a lot of memory for stuff, and it was great under Snow Leopard.  But with Lion, it just doesn't seem to be enough.  Even with all of those huge processes, I can't believe that their working sets are really as big as their virtual and physical memory footprints seem to be.  I mean it's not unusual for a process to have 2GB of virtual space but only a few 100MB of real memory, and some of that is shared object libraries, where the same physical memory is mapped into multiple processes.  (Have shared object libraries stopped being physically shared under Lion?)
    Are other people having similar trouble?  Any suggested remedies?  Any suggestions on how to investigate so I can see if there are any actual bugs?
    I would like to understand why my system went from zippy to slow after I upgraded to Lion.  Actually, quite a few things have broken.  Time Machine has become a pig, bluetooth doesn't work reliably anymore, airport doesn't connect reliably anymore, and lots of little annoying bugs.  But this is common for early point releases of new OS's, so I can't complain too much.  But for Lion to have really regressed in memory management is definitely not good.

    Safari, for what ever reason, has become a huge memory
    pig.  The longer you are using it the more memory it
    gobbles up.
    In Activity Monitor, check the Page outs and Swapped used.
    This will tell you how much memory swapping is going on.
    As for Time Machine, you may want to set your Parallels
    HD image not to get backed up by Time Machine.  May
    help since it is a huge collection of files.  But there have been
    issues reported with Time Machine and Lion.  I don't
    use it myself and opt for the cloning methodology and
    seperate data backup strategy.  Also, in Spotlight
    preferences under the Privacy Tab, I have added
    my Windows VM folders, for same reason.  Unless you really
    need to find something on the windows VM volumes when you
    don't have the Windows VM active, it just eats up alot
    of disk access time.
    For solving airport issues check this article:
    http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20117247-263/fixing-airport-problems-in-os- x/?tag=mncol;txt
    For Bluetooth devices, try removing them, and have them rediscovered if you
    can.
    Hopefully, this gives you a start on cleaning things up.

  • My Network of Macs keep broadcasting to udp port 8612 every few seconds

    This problem was answered nicely by "Hunter3740" and Apple archieved it....It is still valid/needed for Mountain Lion!
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2464784?start=0&tstart=0
    Here is how to stop your Mac from broadcasting to udp port 8612 every few seconds without using a Terminal WIndow:
    Under Utilities (In Applicatiopn Folder) launch the Activity Monitor, then show "All Processes" and find the one named "CIJScannerRegister.app" and hit the Stop Sign (Quit Process).
    Then follow this Machintosh HD--->Library-->Image Capture--->Support--->LegacyDeviceDiscoveryHelpers---->then throw "CIJScannerRegister.app" in the trash and empty it.
    Bingo...the broadcast stops.
    Apple:  Can you fix this turd with a system update?

    Is there a chance that someone has installed some kind of
    software on the computer that is trying to "call home?"
    The app known as Little Snitch can tell what may be in there
    and if it is responsible for these odd network calls out.
    How is the port security set up in the Mac? And why would
    those ports need to be open unless there was a real purpose?
    With my Macs, all of the ports in Firewall are closed to access
    except for the Network Time Server to keep the clock correct.
    {Some are used to share files between computers, & to chat; etc.}
    Do you have more than two user accounts in the computer, and
    if so, is your Admin account only used to update and maintain
    the OS X & to install apps for other users? The levels of security
    in Mac OS X can be controlled; and such odd port calls if or when
    there is no need, are signs that something is not quite right.
    Have you looked into the Console utility to see what is causing the
    hang at those time intervals you know this has happened? There
    are several different logs and reports in there; some won't apply.
    Do the children who use the computer, have access to or know the
    Admin account's password? A second user, from their account, can
    install software and do other things, if that password is available.
    I noticed you had a similar post last month that appeared to go without
    a reply; now it is locked and can't be replied to anyway. So this issue
    has been going on for some time. What may have happened in the past
    year or so, to start this issue in that computer? Something, for certain.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • I believe OS 10.10.2 is causing my mac to freeze every few seconds.

    For the last two weeks or so, my MacBook Pro (2011) has been freezing every few seconds. I can barley type this now. When I pull up Activity Monitor, it shows my memory running at 3.0+ out of 4 GB's. I've tried everything I could think of. My Mac is more of a internet surfing comp so I didn't mind reinstalling OS. It worked great for about 30 minutes then everything started to freeze again. Im curious if anyone else is having this issue and if anyone's figured out how to fix it. I ran a diagnostic on my ram and thats not the issue. Im to the point of upgrading my ram but i think it's dumb reverting to that when the 4 GB has been plenty for me in the past.
    Thank You.

  • I just bought 8gb of ram and after installing it and powering back on my mac mini it beeps once every few seconds how can I fix this

    How do I fix this problem, I have a mid 2010 mac mini. I put in both of my 4gb sticks of ram and when I power it on it beeps once every few seconds. The firmware is up to date, so what else could it be, cause this system is suppose to suppore 8gb of ram? please help and thanks

    What RAM....?

  • When watching my Apple TV (3rd gen) the picture jumps a few frame every few seconds, this happens when I rent a film or play back from my new Mac Pro, my Wifi is the Airport Express.

    When watching my Apple TV (3rd gen) the picture jumps a few frames every few seconds, this happens when I rent a film or play back from my new Mac Pro, my Wifi is the Airport Express.

    These may be different issues, but lets look at rentals first.
    Poor motion can result from mismatched output. If your source is 24 or 30 fps you should set the output of the Apple TV to 60 Hz, for 25 fps content use 50 Hz.
    Additionally motion software on the TV itself can cause the picture to jump, check your TV settings and turn off any motion settings in use,

  • When I sync with my iphone i get an error reporting message but the sync still works.  After trying to download 10.6.3 Mac OSX Snow Leopard, this message appears every few seconds until I quit Entourage.  How do I turn this message off?.

    Question: 
    When I sync with my iphone I get an error reporting message but the sync still works.  After trying to download 10.6.3 Mac OSX Snow Leopard, this message appears every few seconds as long as Entourage is open.  This continues until I quit Entourage.  How do I turn this message off? It interferes with any other work I am doing.   I appreciate any suggestions.

    I only have one video project that I ever published to iDisk. It didn't have any music or photo files attatched to it, just a few clips stitched together. I can play these clips right now in the Event Library (so I know the source files are on my computer), but strangely, under the Project Library, the project is not there. I'm almost certain that I didn't store the project on iDisk; I just completed the video and published it to iDisk (as a .mov file I think) for family to see. I've tried to figure out how to get iDisk to stop looking for this project to no avail.
    I don't know if others have experienced this, but if I click on any project and on the menu bar select Share --> Remove From --> Media Browser... it lists iPod, iPhone, iPad, tv, Computer and MobileMe. Why would MobileMe be an option here? This is the case for any video project I select. Didn't iLife '11 and/or OSX 10.8 remove all mention of MobileMe? I wonder if this is part of the problem too.
    Edit: I just removed every project I have from the Media Browser. Still no luck.
