Program is not responding

Hello everyone. I'm in the middle of transfering audio taples into digitla fromat by impementing soundtrack pro. What I noticed that every manipulation that I try to make to my open source file, the spinning gear starts appear and program stops responding. I do realize that the file its preety massive since the tape lenght at least 60 minutes or so. My question to this forum is if I should compress file first to make it smaller so the mac doesn't hault. Thanks.

Tamara,
Did you reinstall using the full three step way (otherwise strange things may linger)?
Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

I have been working and the word program does not respond how do i save changes before forcing

I have been working a word document and now the program does not respond, can I save the changes before forcing to close the application?

no

How can I find out what causes a program to NOT RESPONDING status suddenly?

After a very long period of functioning without serious problems a program suddenly doesn't start anymore, showing this funny rotating ball and a message in the Activity Monitor that this program is not responding. I have searched the log files meticulously, hoping to find some clues what caused the stuck, but no chance of course. Is there a more or less "educated way" to find out, what happened and how to prevent it in the future?
Thanks a lot in advance

Some of your user files (not system files) have incorrect permissions or are locked. This procedure will unlock those files and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
resetp
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Trial Version of elements 13 running on latest IMac 27 inch. Move the mouse and it is time out. Doesn't matter where on the window the mouse is. The program does not respond quickly at all. Takes ages to do anything with it. Any suggestions?

I am running a trial version of Elements 13 on the latest IMac 27 inch. Any move of the mouse and it is time out. Doesn't matter if the mouse is trying to do an edit or just moving across the window. The program does not respond very well at all. I am wondering now if I should bother purchasing the program.

How much ram do you have? Did you recently import a bunch of photos into the organizer? PSE will be slow till it's through cataloguing them, which can take some time for large number of images.

Photoshop 3 I keep getting a dialog box saying the program is not responding

I keep getting a dialog box saying "Program is not responding" after opening up Photoshop Elements 3.
I have to shut the program down and start over.

This isn't actually the Elements forum, which you can find at:
https://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop_elements
You need to tell them what operating system you are using, and what circumstances causes Elements to freeze. Does restarting the computer make a difference? How long has this been happening, and can you correlate to something you have done or installed, like fonts or third party plugins?
Good luck

InDesign freezes (program is not responding)

IDCS3; Windows XP SP2; HP XW4400 Workstation; 2GB RAM; 193GB free disk space; NVIDIA Quadro NVS 285 (128Mb) Video card.
Two problems, both causing IDCS3 to freeze and "program is not responding" message:
Problem 1. Using Adobe-Single-Line Composer; keeps to control widows and orphans set to 1 line (start), 2 lines (end): ID often freezes when importing Word docs containing formatted headings and text only (file sizes up to 350Kb). Tried saving as rtf, same problem. I would expect ID to leave short pages when it's unable to resolve widows and orphans using specified keeps. If file imports OK, same problem occurs when text edits affect H&J on subsequent pages. Only solution seems to be to deselect keep options and manually check and adjust headings, widows and orphans. NB. Adobe Paragraph Composer gives unacceptable results for the bookwork I do.
Problem 2. Same conditions as problem 1: entering forced line break after en or em dash causes ID to freeze "program is not responding" message.
Anybody any suggestions as to the causes or any solutions?

Luis,
If the Task manager isn't showing ID as non-responsive, I suspect that you are opening a second file with some condition that is triggering a dialog (missing/modified links, missing fonts, profile conflicts) and that the dialog is being drawn off screen or behind other windows, and ID is waiting for you to respond.
How many monitors are you using? This is not an uncommon problem for multiple monitor users, particularly when the monitors are not run at native resolution, but is by no means limited to that scenario. These forums are full of potential ways to deal with that -- try searching for "off screen," "off-screen" or offscreen for starters.

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

I need to run web based Microsoft CRM. I open it in Safari but the program does not respond. I suppose it has to do with Flash or ActiveX. Can someone help?

What does the product developer say about system requirements? If it needs to be run from within Internet Explorer then you'll need to find a way to run Internet Explorer. Boot Camp or VM installation of Windows would be two options.
But first check the product requirements.

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.

When Firefox is opened, nothing shows up but a black screen and the program is not responding. How can I repair this?

Programs keep not responding, computer freezes often, apple mail won't open

Starting yesterday my computer has been running very slowly. it takes almost 15 minutes to start up and then programs won't open or will quit unexpectedly or not respond. Not to mention that my computer freezes every 30 seconds or so. I have 4gb of crucial ram that system diagnostics say is ok. i don't know what is wrong.

Have you tried opening Mail from the Applications folder. The Dock alias may be corrupt.
Try a restart.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Firefox starts up, and when home page pressed, program does not respond. What can be done?

When Firefox is started, the circular think button continues to run, but the program has only started one new tab. When the Home Page button is clicked, program seems to lock in a 'Firefox not Responding' error message. When I try to shut it down by using upper right corner X, it gives two choices, "Wait for the program to respond" of "Shut down program". I choose Shut down program, and in the background a message saying 'Windows checking for a solution' although it never comes back with one. What I'd like to know is will Firefox save my bookmarks if program is deleted and a newer version of Firefox is downloaded?

Please update to the current Firefox 27 release.

Qosmio G40 hangs and some programs are not responding

Hello and happy holidays to all.
Please could i get some help with my G40?
The pc is hanging and refusing to work.
Ccreens lock and i get constant messages that the program(s)are not responding.
I have run all checks i could find, chkdsk in cmd prompt, defrag etc. There are no problems reported.
I have used system mechanic professional to check registry and everything else, again nothing that is not to be expected was reported.
I have run every virus and malcious software test.
I think i would like to restore the pc to factory settings but cannot find any option to do so.
Any ideas
stafford

Hi!
If you want to restore the notebook to factory settings and you have Vista, you must boot from the recovery disks or press F8 at startup and then choose Repair my Computer and follow the menu instructions.
If you have Windows XP, you need the recovery disks.
Before you do this, backup your data first. The HDD will completely erase.
I think also its the best way to reinstall Windows but you should also check if you have the newest BIOS:
