Photoshop not responding when opening files.

I can create new files just fine but when I try and open an existing file, Photoshop CC locks up and has to be forced down. Anyone else having this problem?

Yeah it's always worked. I think I traced it to a problem with my font managment plugin.

System Preferences not responding when opening desktop

After installing Lion 10.7, I find that whenever I try to change the desktop wallpaper in system preferences, it freezes and I have to force quit it.
I tried to find the systempreferences.plist, as seen from google searches, but I can't find it anywhere, and those seem to be solutions for SL, L or Tiger.
Help appreciated.
Thanks!

I've been having the same issue with system preferences in osx lion freezing and not doing anything for the past week. Your post solved the problem; all I had to do was move the iphoto library and the photo booth library to the desktop, then I moved them back to my pictures folder in the finder window. Now system preferences works like a charm, even if I restart the system the system preferences utilities are all accessible.
This solved the problem; whereas other posts that had me use disk utility to repair the hard drive or repair the disk permissions didn't solve the issue.
This now saves me a call to apple tech support
Thank you.

Re: System Preferences not responding when opening desktop

It has to do with a problem accessing the images on the home>images folder. To solve it, just move its content (iphoto library included) to another place. Then, restart System Preferences. Moving your iPhoto library to another location seems to fix the problem. I am sure Apple will issue an update to correct this problem. But, for now this seems to work for me.

Lots of programs does not respond, when opened

Lots of programs does not respond, when they are opened, Apple store, Mail, Photo Booth and VideoConverterPro and some moor.
To close, I have to click on finder first. What to do ?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

"Not responding" when opening multiple files

I just installed Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. I can open one file - most of the time,but if I try to open two PDF files simultaneously, the reader hangs and I get a "Not Responding" message. I tried to open a single file and open the preferences dialog box under Edit and the reader hung again. I've registered my product with my license #.
FYI, I'm running Windows 7 pro

This will most likely due to hardware acceleration. There are a number of bug reports that are still being worked on to improve startup times with hardware acceleration turned on.
You can turn off hardware acceleration to improve startup times. To do that in the Tools menu select Options to open the options dialog. Select the Advanced panel, and then the General tab. Uncheck the setting "Use hardware acceleration when available".

Finder not responding when opening folders: Beachball spins for 2 minutes

Hi, whenever, I attempt to view the contents of my folder (Any folder, folder with a few items in it or a folder with a lot of items in it), I get the beachball of death spin. Then, I try to force quit and I notice that the finder is not responding. After a good two minutes the beachball stops spinning and then I can view my folder contents. When I attempt to view the folder's content, it doesn't freeze up my application use, however it does stop me from trashing objects.
Any suggestions

Bayside,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Locate the com.apple.finder.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder, drag it to the Desktop, and log out/in or restart and let us know what happens.
That recommendation presumes that you can ultimately open the windows required to accomplish that task
If you are unable to open the necessary windows, start up in Safe Mode and try the same thing.

Programs go not responding when clicking File - Print

When clicking File -> Print on Word, Adobe PDF reader and Internet Explorer (but works fine in Excel) the program goes not responding, eventually the print window loads, but goes very very slow from there on, regularly hanging. On Word and IE specifically,
a small box flashes up with a message and goes before I get a chance to read it.
I have tried repairing Office, virus scans, CCleaner, driver updates and reinstalls for printers, disabled no windows services. Nearly everything short of reinstalling windows.
Anyone got any ideas. This user has had a large number of problems in the past with Office.

I sorted the issue, really strange, but all i needed to do was select a default printer from the list of network printers as one wasnt selected already. Very very strange

"Not Responding" when opening Captivate v4

I am having real problems when connected to my company network and trying to work in Captivate (v4, Windows XP).
The problem does not always happen when I am working with just one project, but if I open another project (e.g. to copy a slide or text etc), I get at least two, often three or four messages at the top of the Captivate screen telling me "not responding".
My question...when you launch Captivate when online, does it go off and connect to an Adobe website somewhere, for online help, updates etc? (sorry about non-tech speak)
Maybe this is the problem and if so, is there anyway of turning off this auto link to Adobe when working on-line?

Hi Rick,
I only get this sort of delay with Captivate.
I have turned off the "auto update" checker option some time ago, so now I wonder if it is possible to turn off the area you highlighted...the flash gizmo that checks the Adobe server?
I reckon that is what is causing the problem.
If it cannt be turned off, then I will have to ask my IT (unhelpful) help desk to take a look "behind the scenes" to see what is happening and where the blockage is....but I know already where that will get me.
Cheers,
Noel

Not responding when opening FireFox 4.0b7

Hi there,
When opening FireFox 4.0b7 the browser hangs for about a minute and I get (Not Responding). If I use FireFox 3.6.13 I have no problems at all or if I use any of the other browsers, link IE9 Beta. What is going on?
The opening webpage we use is: www.tlc-online.co.uk/ I have changed the opening homepage to www.bbc.co.uk/ and the same thing happens.
Thanks for reading and any help you can give.

Photoshop CS3 Hangs when opening files

PS hangs when opening, duplicating images. The longer it's on the longer the wait. I'm talkin' 15 - 20 seconds. Deleted the prefs multiple times.
Anybody else having this problem?

Set your default printer to something local, that is actually hooked up.
When Photoshop creates the document, it asks for the default printer information - and your printer driver is taking a nap while trying to connect to the printer.

I can load up CS5 and its fine. I then go to open or create a file and it just crashes.

Photoshop uses OpenGL for some things that won't function if you disable it, but for the most part Photoshop will work fine. Things you will miss include:
Alt-right click and drag mouse gestures for changing brush size/hardness won't show you a preview of your brush size/hardness, just an outline.
Smooth zoom and panning.
Some 3D functions of the Extended edition.
Some performance improvements in the display.
Adobe has done a great job of making almost all of Photoshop work well without OpenGL, but I encourage you to visit the following site and download the latest video drivers for your card. It may clear up all the Photoshop problems and possibly others you don't know you have yet.
