    Having problems with Bridge shutting down after saving photo in PS Cs5,,,,,,,,,  Also when i attempt to update either PS or bridge get an error message in Adobe application manger "Error loading updater workflow"

    Sorry for the late reply. My email firewall has become a little over zealous & sent a lot of my emails straight to my junk email folder, so I have only just now discovered your reply in my junk mail folder.
    The only "don't open files exceeding xxx megabytes" instruction I can find in my Prefs, is in the Bridge Prefs for Thumbnails, & mine is set at 1000mb. The biggest files I handle are bigger than 200mb so I should be able to open a few, not just one.
    However, this doesn't explain why I can open a psd format file of 180mb, close it, but then can't open a RAW format file of only 26mb immediately after.
    I can open the RAW file only if I restart my computer - very annoying!
    However, thanks for the advice about the video card & memory.
    So, I'm still stuck as to what the issue is.

    Because it was on all of my 3 PC's with Vista and Windows 7 I believed it is because of changes on the phone which was working since one month without problems.
    It also was regardless if I connected via BlueTooth or USB.
    Anyhow, I started to deinstall SW on the phone which I installed last 2 days. but at the end I found the problem somewhere else:
    On the day when problem came up I sent via bluetooth from my PC a text file to the phone.
    This appeared in the Dialoge/Message listing like an SMS but the suite seem not to be able to handle it.
    When I deleted the message on the phone the suite was working well again!
    The weired thing was that even if I set the suite not to synchronize anything the error was generated which mean that it still scans some phone parts.
    This post should help Nokia to correct the problem and you to avoid it!
    Greetings
    Franz

    Same with my phone. Deleting SMSes helped. Thanks!

  • Mac shuts down after boot. Is it the logic board?

    mac shuts down after boot. Doesn't go beyond gray screen with apple.  Is it the logic board?
    I do not have the start up disks to safe boot or check the hardware.
    Any ideas what the problem is or is it junk?  It is 8 years old.

      Shutdown your machine.  Hold down the shift key.  Poweron.  Wait awhile Wait awhile while you harddrive
    is being checked.
        http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1455
    I'd let the machine sit for awhile in open firmware & see if it stays alive.  Do a few prints.
    Sometimes if volumes don't appear in Startup Manager (what you get when you hold down the Option key at startup), you need to reset the Mac's PRAM, NVRAM, and Open Firmware. Shut down the Mac, then power it up, and before the screen lights up, quickly hold down the Command, Option, P, and R keys, until the Mac has chimed twice more after the powerup chime. Then, before the screen lights up, hold down Command-Option-O-F until the Open Firmware screen appears. Then enter these lines, pressing Return after each one:
    reset-nvram
    set-defaults
    reset-all
    "The reset-all command should restart your Mac. If so, you have successfully reset the Open Firmware settings."

    I read all the comments, but no help. Even if I turn off the Mac or unplug it, it does not help.

  • I have a problem with Pages shutting down my documents.

      I have a problem with Pages shutting down my documents. I have several
    several documents on my homepage,but once I select one it shuts down and
    goes to the ipad homepage.Other documents open with no problem.
    Can someone tell me what's happening
    antdel

    Pages is crashing for some reason.
    You say that other documents open with no problems, do you mean other Pages documents or documents in another app?
    Try closing Pages completely in the recents tray and reboot your iPad. See if that helps. If it doesn't help, you may have to delete and reinstall Pages. If that doesn't work, you might have a corrupt document that you need to track down and delete.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Weird problem with power shut down msi nforce 4 platinum

    recently i have flashed the latest bios 1.9 of msi nforce 4 u platinum, everything work fine untill yesterday.some stanges happened......
    my power doesnt have a on and off button on it ,every time i turn off the pc , i have to turn off the power button of a socket near by the pc.everytime it works fine, but yesterday when i turn on the power on button of that socket , the pc automatic start, i didint turn on the power button of pc, what a weird problem..   also when i  go into os , the system time also changed, although i can turn them back to correct one in bios and os, but when i turn the pc off , it changed again...   could any one help me out , what is teh real problem of my pc. some virus ?thanks a lot.
    weird problem with power shut down  msi nforce 4 platinum

    it seems the first question has been solved. cos today when i turn on pc, the oc set up is gone ,in bios, it back to the original set up.i cant save my oc setup, so it definitely a battery problem!!!!!!!!!!!
    i take the old battery t o a saler , there they massure it with voltmeter, it shows only 0.97v, but in bios 1.6 it shows 1.82v, so waht is the real meaning of that reading num in bios for battery?it cant be the real voltage of the battery. i buy a new one ,this one is maxcell 2032   hitachi, the old one is shi  t   panansonic 2032 .the new one shows 3.17v with voltmeter, then i come back , installed the  new battery , in bios this time it shows 2.3v in bios 1.6. so the reading num in bios for battery is definitely is not a real reading for your battery.
    i will keep my pc in 24/7 using , and i will look if the battery is sable or not , cos untilll now no one come out for a real explain for this  stupid battery problem of msi nofroce 4 platinum.i dont want change battery every 2 or 3month, what a real sick of this!!!!

  • Mac shuts down after 5 minutes  Help!!!!

    My computer: imac G3, DV Special Edition, 500Mhz, 384 mb ram, 80 gig hard drive
    This is an odd one...like many others before me the computer just died one day. it would not start up, no sounds, just dead. A few minutes later I tried to turn it on and it came on, but 5 minutes later, it died.
    This is the strange part. I took the plug from the socket and waited a few minutes, then pluged the computer back up. It came on. But only for a few mintes and again shut off.
    This time I left the plug in the socket, waited a few minutes and tried again. Nothing.
    I then took the plug out waited about 30 minutes and it came back on for about 5 minutes and shut down. It only seems to come on if I let the computer sit idle with the plug out.
    I have noticed that the computer does not keep time properly.
    What I have done.
    1. I have pressed the Cuda Button, and yes it did start up, but only for about 5 minutes.
    2. I have tried to reinstall the system hardware, but the computer dies before completion.
    Should I replace the battery? What else can be done?
    Help!

    I have the same problem. I don't have good news, though. I have replaced the battery, pressed the reset button, even replaced the power supply board (not the video board -- which is the only thing I have decided I'm not willing to do). My computer usually shuts down after 5 minutes, but will sometimes stay working fine for a couple of hours. I managed to update the firmware and OS to the very latest, but still it dies. Mine will also occasionally flicker and freeze, which can be restarted by holding down the power button.
    I would replace the video board, except the people trying that don't have quite the same problem (theirs don't start up at all), and there is no source I've found that would have new boards, so you would get a bad board, or the same problem eventually. Some people point to a transformer on the video board, but again the symtoms are not quite the same (they smell burt electronics or hear a hissing/crackling sound before it dies.
    I have just packed mine away and I'm working on a new G5, but I sure hope the old iMac can be fixed so my kids can use it. I just didn't want you to have to go down the same road just to find nothing helped. Good luck, and if you have any new ideas, I would be glad to hear them.

  • I-Mac shuts down after sitting for a while, why and how can it be fixed?

    i Mac shuts down when left for a time in sleep mode. Am I missing something or is this supposed to happen?
    It has never happened while anyone is using the computer but that may just be because it often sits over night without use.
    Am using a logitech Wave USB keyboard and mouse because my wife likes it.

    OK reset the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    1. Shut down the computer.
    2. Unplug the computer's power cord.
    3. Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    4. Release the power button.
    5. Attach the computers power cable.
    6. Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    and check all of the power connections.
    The iMac's are sensitive to power issues (sag or momentary outage) while in sleep mode. If in the Energy Saver preference "Start up automatically after a power failure" is unchecked (as it should be) then you could/would/should find the iMac off after a power problem.

  • Mac shuts down after security update 2007-005

    I installed security update 2007-005 and now after going to sleep the mac just shuts down. I have repaired permissions and run DiskWarrior. It just keeps happening.
    Karen
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Since I have installed security update 2007-003 and 4, DVD player was disabled. now that apple released security update 2007-005, I am now facing more serious issues with the entire system halting (the clock is frozen and the mouse turns into a beach ball... every once in a while)! I am beginning to suspect that the last three security updates need to be avoided at any cost since I have had so many problems with them!
    So, in answer to your question, I would just run a clean install of OS 10.3, and never install security update 2007-004 and 5 until apple assures us that there are no more flaws in the security updates again!

  • Mac shuts down after start up and before it was acting very slow, please help!!!

    Recently my imac has been running unusually slow when I open/close apps or when loading things, it sometimes would freeze or take about 20 secs to load etc.
    So in an attempt to fix it it cleared all unnecessary files from my computer but nothing too technical.
    Then yesterday i was told by my brother to go onto disk utilities and verify/repair the disk. Both times it failed and further repeats failed. After the repair disk failed a message along the lines of "back up data you want then restore the disk" something like that.
    Now today when I started up my computer in the morning it was fine, then a couple of hours ago I restarted it, and now it won't turn on properly. It goes to the apple icon with a spinning loading wheel and a empty bar underneath and after about 20 secs it shuts down. So then I did the thing where you hold down cmd and r to open osx utilities and went to disk utilities again to try and repair/verify the disk and again the same failure and messages came up suggesting to restore my disk.
    Being 16 I only understand so much and understand that I will probably have to put in the installation disk or something and "re do my computer from scratch." But I do have things I want to back up before I do so but due to the load up problem I have no way of backing up photos, music and files and i don't know if the time machine has backed up the data for me (I don't really understand the time machine). I'm currently using my phone to post this, any help would be greatly appreciated because I don't really know what else to do now. My imac is 21.5 inch that I bought around 2years ago late december time. Thank you for your time

    Sounds like a classic HD failure. Take the machine to your local Apple Store or AASP, if it is still covered by AppleCare they will handle it at no charge. If you have been backing up then once the machine comes back restore from backup. I get you are only 16, so I'd explain to  your parents the computer needs to be taken in for service, if they bought it for you they would know if it is covered by AppleCare or not, assuming they originally bought the computer for you.
    Good luck.

  • Problem with the shut down action

    Hi,
    Since a few monthes, I have a problem when I want to shut down my 27" iMac.
    Instead of shutting down, he reboots.
    And if I shut it down again, it finally shuts down.
    I have the same problem with the suspension of activity. I have to do it twice because it reactivates after the first times.
    What happened ?
    Thank for the answers ?

    Step one is to create a new admin user account, log into it, and see if the problem persists.

  • Problems with speakers shutting down

    I have a gigaworks pro 5.1 surround sound system I've had it for about 2 years now and i'm starting to have this problem with my speakers shutting down even though there is power running to the system I can hear a sencer click when the system shuts down when I try to start it by pressing the on button or flip the switch on the back of the system the system will not start I have to unplug the hole system and plug it back in to start the system and then the system will work for a few minutes and shut down again I was wondering if anyone has had the same problem and if so how did they fix it

    Hi faizraja,
    Thank you for your query,  I will do my best to assist you.
    I grasp that it will not shutdown from the menu options and the speakers don't work most of the time.
    I would try a Refresh Your PC to Resolve Problems (Windows 8). Just to be on the safe side, I suggest backing up your personal files to prevent loss.
    Here is a link to  No Sound from Speakers (Windows 8) to assist with the speaker issue. Are you accidentally muting your system?  Here is a link to HP Pavilion g6 Notebook PC Maintenance and Service Guide, please not page 12 item 3 for this option.
    If this has not helped, I suggest you do a recovery back to factory. Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8).
    You will receive a prompt to backup your personal data to prevent loss. If you have not done one recently, I suggest you do one now.

  • Scary issue with FCP shutting down after installing leopard????

    I use a lacie external hard-drive 400gb and FCP HD. I recently installed leopard 10.5.5
    My issue- when I try to open a project from the external hard drive after 38% it shuts down FCP. What is my prob here? I know that I also ran a update for FCP since reconnecting my apple to the internet.
    I was so hoping that the installation of leopard would go smooth...not sure if it's the culprit though.
    keep in mind everything worked fine before. I have installed a few widgets, apps, and downloaded a few updates and other software....nothing special

    If by FCP HD you mean FCP 4.5 ... it is not supported under Leopard (aka OSX 10.5)
    Time to upgrade your editing software to match the OS.

  • My Mac shut down after the chime by itself! :(

    So everytime I restart my iMac G5 (mine is the third generation I think) the one that has built in isight. Anyway I restart my computer, and then I heard the chime and it shut down by itself.
    This happened once before.. and then I unplug it from the wall and let it "rest" for few hours, and it's okay again.
    Do you think it has some power cord issue, or?
    Help please... Thanks!!!

    It's around $135, but look at [welovemacs.com] and see what they charge. You can also look at [http://www.synaptech.com/catalog> or [http://www.dttservice.com/imacg5.html] to see what they say.
