PS CS4 Layer Style has become unresponsive

Hi Gang,
Never had a problem with photoshop in my life, so this is my first post.
I have literally opened a new document and now when I right click and go "Blending Options" I am unable to click on anything in this window. I've open up other documents and now they too are unresponsive. I cna click on the drop down menus and they work fine, but all tick boxes and sliders are affected.
This has come at the worst time possible time.
Forgive my poor list of parts, I recently upgraded to Win7 and am lost without file > run > dxdiag
Intel Quad CPU Q9300 2.5ghz
4gb DDR3
Nvidia GeForce 8600GT
Please help, I've tried reinstalling the software and a system restore incase I did something stupid in my sleep.
Many thanks,
R x

Not sure why it worked with one monitor and not others.
To help narrow down the problem have your tried going to preferences and the performance dialog and turning off the "Enalbe OpenGL Drawing Checkbox" I think that is checked "on" by default.
If turning it off fixes the problem then you may have a graphics card configuration issue. Could happen when hardware/software changes are made.

Part of screen has become unresponsive

Suddenly part of my Iphone 4 screen has become unresponsive. In vertical screen mode, it's the bottom R.hand corner and selected other spots near the bottom of the screen, e.g. the back button, z,c,and m keys. It seems to be the same area of the screen when turned into horizontal mode, so that there it's e.g. the send button in mail. In the phone, pressing the back symbol brings up the # sign, just above it - so if I make a mistake hitting the phone keys, I can't undo it without powering down then re-powering up.
There are no scratches on the glass, and I have tried re-setting the phone. I have the latest Itunes and ios. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Richard

Nokia 6822a has become unresponsive

Hi,
I have a Nokia 6822a that I have been using for about 6 years. Lately, it has become unresponsive and seems to not respond to inputs. For example if it freezes while in a text field the cursor still flashes as if it is ready to receive text input. When it freezes while scrolling through the menu, the help text for the menuitem still appears after a few seconds as if I was hovering over the item.
The only way I can escape this problem is by resetting the phone but the problem occurs again shortly after a reboot.
Any ideas as to what the problem could be? Is there perhaps a software upgrade available?
Thanks in advance.

I had to have my MBP 2006 model trackpad exchanged three times during its warranty period. I realize the newer trackpads are different, but it sounds like there are similar issues.
It turned out to be a capacitor problem beneat the trackpad. If it is still under AppleCare warranty you need to take it in and, with luck, they might be able to change it out the same day.
If it is out of warranty, then there are 3rd party solutions that sell replacement trackpads and keyboards and things at reasonable prices with easy to follow instructions.
The other alternative is getting a magic mouse (for example) and using that instead. I sometimes do that with my MacBook Pro since I am used to it now with my iMac, and it's wireless.

Nothing YOU cand do. You'll need to bring the phone to Apple for replacement.

Firefox has becomes unresponsive and slow after I tried to install addons (not installed)?

I recently format my computer and reinstall the windows 7, since this was the only solution that I know to fix the problem with Firefox (I previously had this problem too). I download the latest version of firefox 33.0.2 and install it . This version was super fast. But becomes unresponsive and slow, when I tried to install the add-ons. I visited the official website of firefox and search for the addons, when I tried to install some addons, Firefox crashed. From then on, it has becomes quite slow and can't restore previous sessions. Even to type my email address, It takes more than 5 minutes and becomes unresponsive frequently (after I typed each letter).
I want to know whether this is due to some viruses, or this version of firefox is not "stable"

Hey there,
We're sorry to hear that Firefox is crashing. In order to assist you better, please follow the steps below to provide us crash IDs to help us learn more about your crash.
#Enter ''about:crashes'' in the Firefox address bar and press Enter. A Submitted Crash Reports list will appear, similar to the one shown below.
#Copy the '''5''' most recent Report IDs that start with '''bp-''' and then go back to your forum question and paste that into the "Post a Reply" box. (Please don't take a screenshot of your crashes, just copy and paste the ID's. The below image is just an example of what your Firefox screen should look like)
[[Image:aboutcrashesFx29|width=520]]
<br><br>
After you've done this, you could try '''Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
Hope this helps!

Notes has become unresponsive on my macbook air, what can I do?

Notes has always worked perfectly, but today, on my Macbook Air, not on my iPhone, if I try to create a new note or message or email a note, the program becomes un-responsive and I have to force quit.
Any ideas?
My default account is icloud, and there are a lot of notes that are valuable to me and I need to save.
Thanks,

That sounds like a hardware problem. Contact Apple for service. If you have an Apple Store near you, make an appointment at the Genius Bar and take it in for the techs to look at.

My ipod touch has become unresponsive

I was just listening to music, and then it stopped. I looked at the screen and it had then turned white.
Nothing is working, tried to turn it on and off again, but nothing happened. The screen slowly went to black, and the ipod is unresponsive.
Can anyone help?

Try here:

An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store might be in order.

Why does Firefox on my Windows 7 PC hang (become unresponsive) while it waits for most pages to load or run scripts?

Firefox hangs (becomes unresponsive) when accessing many sites including Gmail. Eventually, when hung, Firefox will throw up a window saying "WARNING: A script has become unresponsive" or, in the case of Gmail, the page itself will say "Some Gmail features have failed to load due to an internet connectivity problem."
IE8 and Google Chrome are working normally. I've tried Firefox in safe mode, re-installing and even running Firefox portable from a USB thumb drive. Each time with the same result—Firefox hangs or becomes unresponsive while it waits for most pages to load or run scripts.

Your problem sounds like the one that a co-worker and I started to have about the same time. Check your Symantec client management control log. You might see a line like the following.
Date and Time Severity Level Action Test / Production Description API Class Rule Caller Process ID Caller Process Parameter User
2012-07-30 10:48:09 AM 15 Block Production Unauthorized NT call rejected by protection driver. System Built-in rule 1608 FlashplayerPlu FuncID-B6H, R... None
At first we thought that it was a Javascript problem until we noticed this log. The key words are 'Block' and 'FlashPlayerPlu'. This problem recently started for us, perhaps with a software push 1-2 weeks ago. Internet Explorer does not hang when accessing pages with Flash.
The Flash page does eventually load after a long time. However, since the whole browser hangs for a while, for the most part having the Flash plugin enabled makes Firefox unusable if accessing pages with Flash.
Disabling the Flash plugin solves the hanging problem, but I do not know what is causing the problem, nor do I know when a combination of Windows 7, Flash, and Symantec will work. Your later version of Symantec shows that we might have the problem for a while, but I do not know what customization CSC did with Symantec. My coworker did run a complete virus scan, uncovering nothing. Another co-worker is running Windows XP. She does not have the problem, but I do not know what other versions of software she is running.

BUG: Saving Text with Layer Styles to PDF

I was just able to take the CS6 beta for another test run, and it seems the following ancient, but high-priority bug (at least for me) hasn't been addressed:
When saving large Photoshop documents (composites in resolutions like, say 7000x10000 pixels) to Photoshop PDF, certain layer styles are often not exported correctly when applied to text layers. The layer styles that are affected are those that render pixels that are then clipped inside the text, such as Gradient Overlay, Bevel & Emboss etc.
When output, they usually don't span the entire text in the PDF, but are cut off with a straight line at some point (I can't supply an example image right now, my apologies). Inside of Photoshop, they render correctly at all zoom levels. My guess is that this is somehow related to the raster data being written as individual tiles and for some reason, some of these are then omitted for layer styles.
The problem isn't new to the CS6 Beta, but has existed for many versions. I have run into it in both Mac and Windows versions. The current workaround is to always expand layer styles on the text layers that are affected into layers before exporting, which is tedious and error-prone since there is inevitably something that gets missed (EDIT: I was wrong there, that workaraound doesn't work, the problem persists even if the layer style is expanded into a layer that is then applied as a clipping group).

Two possibilities: Pre-compose everything and fade the comp or use a second layer that has the layer styles, but in its Blending Options for the layer styles has set Fill opacity to zero, so only the styles are rendered, but not the source. Whjat you are seeing is normal behavior based on how styles are supposed to work. Whenever there is a non-zero (non-transparent) pixel, the get applied, where the pixels opacity acts as amultiplier for the style's intensity. Looks good for some, but often causes this popping appearance...

Itunes becomes unresponsive when trying to start a rented movie

as the title says.
I really don't want to waste 4 dollars on a movie that won't play, the 24 hour countdown has started 10 minuntes ago from this post.
I have Itunes for my windows 7 computer i have 8 gigs of ram and plenty of space on my hard drive and an i7 processor, there should be absoulutly no problem playing a movie....but there is.
Help from someone knowlegable would be appreciated and not from some nobody.
thanks in advance,
(angry customer who always has problems with technology) aka me

I just installed it on a Windows 8 Pro 64 bit, Dell Vostro machine (less than a year old), Intel Core i5 ivy bridge processor and 4 Gigabytes of RAM. The only other program running is Excel 2013 64bit.
I just installed iTunes and has become unresponsive twice. I cannot move it, change it nor close it. The first time it also made all Windows 8 apps and desktop apps unusable. This is in no way a good sign of stability from Apple's part. Please, make it as stable (or close) as it is on Macs.

Labview Executable Becomes Unresponsive, Windows reports Insufficient Resources when trying to perform explorer tasks

I have a test program that is utilizing the NI-9481 relay modules to switch power to a part and switch a Keithley 2000 DMM to measure the voltage. This test needs to power on and off the part 3000x for 4 minutes on and 4 minutes off. I implemented this design using a state machine design pattern. The timing is done in one minute increments using the "Get Time/Date in seconds" function available with Labview 8.2. Each minute a measurement is taken and the data is writen to a text file.
   -Measurements Algorithm:
      -Prior to anything, instrument is initialized with a reset, enters state machine loop
      -Measurment Function, configures DC Volts and trigger, (relays switch), send trigger and read from instrument when SRQ is asserted
   -Switching Algorithm:
      -DAQmx Create task w/Auto cleanup(T)
      -DAQmx Create channel - Digital Output
      -Property Node for Channel - DO.Invert Lines = False
      -DAQmx Generate Digital 1D Data
      -DAQmx Write Data w/ Auto start(T)
I have been working out the bugs with the devices we are communicating with and they appear to be working normally, however for the second time(yesterday was a DAQmx error) at cycle 131(17ish hours into the test) the program has become unresponsive and windows will not open the task manager and windows explorer reports "Insufficient system resources" when attempting to open a window. Labview is not reporting an error...
Currently I suspect the while loop that is controlling the timing and am placing a WaitTillNextmsMultiple function in the loop set to 500.
Also I wonder if the DAQmx sequence is consuming memory and eventually consumes all system resources.
If anyone has any ideas or knows of a problem with the devices I am using please help. Thanks

If the bolded stuff is happening repeatedly... you have answered your own question.
LV will not destroy resources until it exits as part of its clean-up routine.
Create tasks and allocate resource once when you start and re-use them until you are done, then detroy them.

FF becomes unresponsive if minimised in dock/ left idle.

I'm running Mountain Lion on a 2009 Intel MacBook Pro. Since upgrading to Firefox 18.0.1 a few days ago, my system, at times, becomes unusable:
- when active, Firefox is clean, supple and very fluid.
- when left idle (background) or minimised to the dock for a short length of time, it becomes unresponsive.
- this then has a knock-on effect on my system and renders it unusable:
- on awaking the system/ Firefox, a significant lag/ hang of around 30-40 seconds is experienced
- this is accompanied by the «beachball», and occasionally, the blue beachball.
- it seems as though excessive RAM is being consumed, but on checking Activity Monitor, all seems correct.
- it gets to a stage where the lag/ hang is so bad that other apps refuse to coöperate
- the only work around I have found for the time being is a force quit (which shows that Firefox has become unresponsive - a little like a crash, but caused by no activity).
I wonder if anyone else has the same/ a similar problem. What fixes you use. If it is a known bug. If anyone has managed to rectify the situation.

I see something similar on Mac OS 10.6. If Firefox is running and I leave the computer idle long enough it to run the screen saver and then go to sleep, quite often Firefox will not respond when I try to do anything with it after the computer wakes up. In fact, quite often the entire computer will be unresponsive.

CS4 extended Layer styles not working

Running CS4 extended on Vista64, Corei7 quad @2.9 GHz, 8 Gig Ram and nVidia quadro FX 1700. I can not get layer styles to work in documents that originated in CS3 extended. If I start a new document they work.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Well, I ended up copying all of the layers from the old PSD to a CS4 psd and it worked. Since it is a web page it had a lot of layers and it was a major pain in the hooey... but it did work.
