Printing TIFF files hangs the system, is there a workaround?

When printing large tiff files (e.g., exported layout images from CAD) the system becomes unresponsive and it takes time to print. Even after the image is printed, the system works very slowly.
It seems to be a bug, or is there any workaround to prevent the system to hang?
Thank you, Jan

There are two similar bugs:
The LPC+crop bug started with ACR 6.1 and was fixed in 8.2.
The LPC mystery bug started with ACR 7.3 and was fixed in 8.6.
Both bugs cause repeated thumbnail extractions in Bridge on some images with Lens Profile Corrections enabled.
As you are on ACR 6.7 it can only be the first bug. The only workaround I know is to ensure that the crop does not touch the edge of the corrected image. A few pixels gap will do it. Also, it helps to keep less images in a folder--but this can't be avoided when using Collections or Finds.
I'd imagine that Adobe won't fix CS5 just for this. Presumably there's something in the smallprint which admonishes them from responsibility after the shelf life of the product ends. To be fair, it's not like they fixed it straight away in CS6, unlike the Bridge CS5 database bug (thanks, Adobe). They were only able to reproduce the fault in summer 2013.

Hard drive works, but when plugged in hangs the system

First of all, since this is not a Linux-specific problem I'm not sure this is the right place for this post.
Anyway, for the past few years I've been using a 250GB IDE hard drive mostly to store backups on. For quite a while it worked fine, but when plugged in again after being removed so I could clean out the dust in my PC it didn't work quite right anymore. It caused the system to hang and gave error messages remniscent of those detailed on this page. After some fiddling it worked OK for a while, and then one day it randomly did this again. I took the ribbon cable out, then the hard drive, and realized one of the pins was pushed in (at the time I thought it was broken). After some reading I decided to sacrifice a ribbon cable. What I did was yank a pin off of an old DVD drive that doesn't work and shoved it in the cable where the short pin was. I made sure it was seated well, plugged in in, and hoped for the best. To my delight it worked without a hitch for maybe a year or more.
And then a little more than a month ago we had lightning strike a power line outside of our house and it fried my motherboard. I now have a replacement board, but after all of the taking apart and moving around and stuff, the hard drive is back to its old antics. The pin-in-the-cable trick wasn't working anymore. After I realized that the pin wasn't broken half-way but rather pushed in, I grabbed some needlenose pliers and pulled it out. It now will plug into any ribbon cable just fine and the computer recognizes it, but it's slow at POST and hangs the system when booting the OS, whether it be Linux or Windows. Knoppix CDs boot just fine, although slower. S.M.A.R.T. sees no problems.
Basically I'm wondering 2 things. First of all, is there anything I can do to get around the hangs? And second, I'm considering buying an external hard drive enclosure for regular 3.5 inch hard drives and using it as an external USB drive. Since the drive does still work and I can add/remove stuff while booted in Knoppix, and the main issue seems to be my system hanging, I figure, maybe, I can just plug in the drive when I need it after the computer is already booted up and it will work fine. Does this sound like a reasonable expectation?

What you hear may sound like it's the hard drive, but it's really an electronic type of noise. Same with my PB. Try what BGreg said, and wait for the drive to spin down - you'll still hear the noise.
There was a thread about this issue several months ago, and IIRC the conclusion was that it's a normal noise, and that you should just ignore it if possible.
If you must make it quieter, set processor performance to the lowest setting in Energy Saver preferences. But it's not going away completely.

I open a file - playback - the audio is there - doesn't appear in timeline, but I hear it, after 1 edit, the audio disappears. I have to reboot to get it back then it happens again. All suggeswtions welcome. Thank you, Randy

Yes, my err. 720X480
For the Frame Rate, was it really 29.97 frames per second and you rounded it off to 29 frames per second? Or,
is the frame rate really 29 frames per second?
If the properties that you just posted are representative of your source file, what project preset did you or the

Bridge will do the job. View > Sort > ByType. Then you can choose a group of one type and put the files in a separate folder.

I removed chrome 10 and newly installed FF4 final, and I can't read PDF files within the browser. There was no problem in Chrome. I can't even see the acrobat reader plugin in the plugins page. Acrobat 10 is already installed in my PC. Every time I try to read a PDF file on the web, FF tries to download it instead.

As recommended above by Bernd Alheit, I posted this on the Adobe Reader forum. There, I received the advice to repair the installation under the help menu, which I did and it fixed the problem.
Similar to your solution but found it's a fix found under "HELP" menu and not Add/Remove.

I have an iMac OS X ver 10.7.5. Processor speed is 3.06 GHz intel core i3, and the memory is 4 GB 1333 MHz RAM. My online banking app is being updated and requires OS ver 10.8 or newer.

You can update directly to Yosemite (for free) through the App Store (this is 10.10). Make sure your existing applications will run on this OS.
If you wish to stay at 10.8, you can order this through the online Apple Store (it's $20), and they will email you a redemption code to be used on the App Store.

Need help printing tiff files

I have written some code that prints any file that can be opened using JAI and the ImageIO Tools. The code works good for me but I have some special cases where I am having some difficulty. Some files I need to print are TIFF files with many pages. Some are compressed using Fax Group 4 encoding and others are compressed using OLD jpeg-in-tiff. I can read and print the files just fine, but it takes about 2 seconds to print each page. Also the spooling data for 88 pages is 900 MB in size. Printing the same files using IrfanView takes <1 seconds and the spool file is much smaller (equivalent to the size of the uncompressed tiff) The speed and size issues are problems for me because I am working on a print web service. My code to render each page is below. So far I have tried rendering hints and such to increase speed, but I think the problem is that when I read the image it takes up a lot of space in memory.
Here is the overall requirements for what I am doing: A use will request that the server print a set of files (mixed image formats, restricted to TIFF, JPEG, and GIF) be printed to specific printer as a single print job. They can specify copies and collation only. The service will open each file in order and send its data to the printer. I have created a custom class that implements the Printable interface to handle the multiple files. The class below is created for each file and handles the printing of the image file.
I am using JDK 1.4.2 and WebSphere. I am stuck with these options b/c I have to use some IBM API's (IBM Content Manager 8.3) that are not compatible with 1.5 or higher.
Is there any way to speed up my code. Possibly load the image differently?

I found a couple of issues. One was related to code the other to IBM. AS for the code I found an article about drawing scaled images here: http://today.java.net/pub/a/today/2007/04/03/perils-of-image-getscaledinstance.html which was quite useful. My updated code is below. The second issues is that the JRE I am using is the IBM Websphere 5.1 JRE which pretty much sicks. I tested using a Sun statndard 1.4.2 JRE and the print was 5 times faster. Now I am looking to find a way around that issue, but it is not a questions for this form.

When I select a photo to print from I Photo the following msg There were no themes located. Until at least one theme has been installed, this feature will be unavailable what procedure is required to install a theme

When I select a photo to print from I Photo the following msg appears " There were no themes located. Until at least one theme has been installed, this feature will be unavailable " What procedure is required to install a theme to print photos?

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

Printing Tiff File Format

Is there anyway to print the tiff file present in the server on the client side?
1.tiff file cannot be displyed on the browser ,so i cannot use javascript's [window.print() command].
2.If i am using JAI jar then that works only on the server side{i.e when the clent cliks the print button the print dialog displays on the server side]
3.If i will download the tiff file into local then client has to manualy go to that physical path where that tiff file was saved and print it.but requirement is to print from the front end.
4.If i will use applet then how will i pass that tiff file name from the html.
because if i use
<PARAM NAME="imageName" VALUE="C:\\amarshi\\TIFF.tif">
then the the value of imageName in the Applet class (using get{Parameter("imagename") comes as null.
but if i use jpg,png or gif format then the value is not null.
5.I also tried with JFrame ,but that also works on the server side only.
plz suggest me ..its very very urgent .
Thanks
Amarshi

I had searched in goolge ,but there are some tools which support either IE
or mozilla .I didnt found any tool supporting both the browser.
Morever if i will use thesr tools ,then whenever the user will try to print then they hav to install atleast one the tool.
the client wants to do this either using tools that will be uiinstalled inside the exe while release or do from coding side.
They dont want that the user will have to install the tool to view the .tiff file for printing.
And whatever jars i am using in the java side they work only on the server side??

Satellite M45-S265 - How do I delete WiFi File from the system?

This M45-S265 Machine has Intel Pro/Wireless BG Network Connection.
The installed Driver is Intel dated 12\19\2007 Version 9.0.4.39
So I want to "completely" uninstall this driver from the system.
Going thru the device manager and simply asking it to uninstall doesn't completely uninstall.
Because as soon as it refreshes it will reinstall the same file from a cache some where in the system.
So how do I go about completely uninstalling such a driver from the machine?
Can anyone answer this for me? Many thanks.

Hi
In device manager you can check were the WLan driver file was installed and how its called.
Choose WLan card -> Properties -> Driver tab -> Driver Details
There you will see the path and how the driver files are called.
Then go to this folder and delete it.

I can't print PDF files from the latest Firefox; asks which program created the files. None of the options listed will print the files, such as IRS forms. Running Mac OS 10.6.8.

I run Mac OS 10.6.8.
When I try to print a PDT file, such as an IRS form, Firefox opens a small dialog box asking what program was used to create the file I wish to print.No matter which of the selections I choose, the file will not print.
I have the latest Adobe Reader installed.
Note that these files always open normally in Safari.
Help!

Hi there,
Does you printer/RIP support protocols other than AppleTalk? If it does, then I would change it to something like HP Jetdirect-Socket.

OVM Linux service hangs the system reboot

System:
Oracle VM Manager
Version: 3.1.1.305
Hello everybody,
I have the script to start the node manager on system reboot on run level 2. After rebooting my VM I can’t log on with putty anymore. So I opened the console with my RealVNC from OVM Manager and rebooted the system and I can see this service hangs the boot process.
I was able to open the boot menu in console but I don’t know how to select option “e” (edit the commands before booting) or “c” for command-line.
Is there any other way to stop this process ( control-c doesn't work either) and continue booting the system?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Alex

Hello
If the VM is paravirtualized, then you won't see the grub to press e and edit the boot option.
What you can do, is change the boot from disk to network and use the network process you used to install, but go to rescue mode.
Does this helps?

Opening 16bit TIFF files in the Photoshop RAW dialog

Quite recently I've found that doing my final adjustments in Camera RAW on renders from 3D programs, particularly Vue 6 Infinite images saved as 16 bit TIFFs, yields superior results very quickly. So far I've found that I can access Camera RAW only from Bridge if the file is TIFF or JPEG. Once a file is processed in Camera RAW, Photoshop recognizes the file should be opened in the CR dialog but I wondered if there is a way to open a TIFF file the first time right into the Photoshop RAW dialog rather than using Bridge?

By Jove You've got it, Ramón! Thank you. I feel rather silly having never looked in Photoshop prefs but now my 16 bit TIFFs open in Camera RAW and I can either manipulate them and save a copy or open them up in Photoshop. This is excellent.
Ann, I'm looking forward to CS4!

SetWindowsHookEx(WH_JOURNALRECORD) is hanging the system on Windows 7 and Windows 8

I'm in the process of porting an old application that uses the Journal Record Hooks to record macros to Windows 7/8. I've done everything that needs to be done to make this works, that is :
set uiAccess=true in the manifest
sign the application with a valid certificate
execute the application from the Program Files folder
After doing all this, the hook install correctly and it works. However, sometimes, for no apparent reason, the system freeze in a weird way : my keyboard and mouse inputs doesn't reach any application and the only thing I can do is ctrl-alt-del or ctrl-esc,
which uninstalls all system wide hooks and thus, unfreeze the system.
I've added some trace logs and I've discovered that when it happens, the SetWindowsHook function returns a valid hook handler, my hook function is called, but only once and then the system freezes. I've actually cleaned up my hook function and the only thing
I'm doing is return 0.
Is this a known issue or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks

Hello subbtract,
>> the SetWindowsHook function returns a valid hook handler, my hook function is called, but only once and then the system freezes.
Will your tested machines be fresh which I means there is other application installed except yours? If possible, I suggest you could make a test with conditions above, if the system is still frozen, this should a issue of system about the SetWindowsHook
function. You could post it to:
https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio
While if it works with a fresh machine, this issue could be caused by features of installed applications. You could then compare worked and not worked to check the difference.

Open and print multiple files from the Finder all at once.

I'm trying to research how to do this. In OS9 you used to be able to hi-lite multiple files (Word files for example) and just hit Command+P. This would automatically open all of the files AND print them.
I can't seem to do this in my OS X. Or can I? I can hi-lite and go to File/Print, but the computer is only opening but not printing.
Any suggestions??
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I don't know how to both "open and print" multiple files in one step. The ⌘O combination of course will open multiple items. The items remain selected so switching back to the "Finder" and dragging multiple icons onto the icon for "/Applications" > "Utilities" > "Printer Setup Utility.app" seems to cause them all to be printed to the default printer.
Alternatively, a user's "~/Library/Printers" folder contains printer icons -- I'm not sure what they are exactly, but they represent the printers set up for that account. They function pretty much like the pre-OS X "Desktop Printer" icons so dragging and dropping multiple files onto them should cause them to be printed. It may even be possible to create aliases to them on the "Desktop" to recreate "Desktop Printer" functionality. But again, this won't open the files into their applications.
