PS CS4 Not Responding

I have had no trouble with PS CS4 until just today. When I launch CS4, it looks fine. Then when I click anything, I get the black bar of death on top that says "PS CS4 Extended Not Responding".
Then if I try to click anything the screen goes white and it says it stopped working.
I have the most current version
I changed my options to administrator (although it was fine before the way it was)
i reuploaded my driver for my wacom
i debugged
really the only thing between yesterday and today i did different was update my itunes...which i woulnd't think would have anything to do with PS.
I didn't reinstall yet becuase i am in transit to a new house and my disk is in storage.
any help would be greatly appreciated!

Try resetting the prefs by reading this link:

A long while ago I do remember itunes causing problems. It replaced some files? Can't remember exactly.

CS4 Not Responding on new PC

I recently moved my Photoshop CS4 installation from my old XP machine to a new Win 7 64-bit PC. Now, whenever I open or save a file, the program pauses for about 10 seconds and "Not Responding" appears in the title bar at the top. Eventually, this disappears and the save or open is completed, but it's very annoying when it happens with every file. Can anyone suggest a cause?
Thanks
Peter

Double check to see whether you have any drives mapped that are pointing to systems not currently online, or shortcuts (or entries in your Favorites list) with similar issues.
Are you configured to use HomeGroup networking in Windows 7? I normally turn that off because sometimes it causes more problems than the convenience it adds. Without HomeGroup networking you can still reach other computers - basically just like the older systems with Workgroup access.
I have set up and use the same (Administrator) account on all my systems on my LAN (exact same username, same password), which makes networking quite seamless.
Here's how to shut off HomeGroup networking, if you want to try:
Click Start then type sharing in the search box.
When Network and Sharing Center comes up, click it.
Click the Change advanced sharing settings link at the upper-left.
Expand Home or Work, scroll down to the HomeGroup connections section, and choose the Use user accounts and passwords to connect to other computers setting. To reverse this change, choose the Allow Windows to manage homegroup connections (recommended) setting.

Encore CS4 not responding on start-up

I was just working on a series of DVDs for a client (needed multiple DVDs for menu screens for restaurant client) I've burned these before, everything worked great and just as I'm on deadline (always happens this way Adobe and we don't get to bill for asprin fees) I'm needing to burn another copy of a Encore file that was previously made and now Encore is not responding at startup.
What's the fix???? Is there some key-stroke command that can clear the settings or some DLL file that needs to be removed to get Encore to startup again?
If I need to rebuild my project that's not a big deal, that will take 10 mins. but to deal with this hanging issue's a pain in the butt you guys!
Some more info; the hang seems to be at the 'Transcoding' loadup. That's where it just stops starting. It started fine multiple times prior this startup... so I'm thinking of a couple things that was/is different during this last starup; a) I had iTunes open, because my iPhone was on cradle... b) I had closed a previous Encore project and switched to another project file. (while iTunes was open).
This is the only difference between yesterday and today...I'm thinking there's some DLL or something within the startup string in Encore that's now corrupted. Anyone know what needs to be removed (which DLL I guess) in order to have Encore startup clean again.

Install the latest pxhelp drivers and try to launch encore.

Premiere cs4 Not Responding after a few mins use

Hello,
I have been using premiere cs4 to make stop motion videos for awhile on this computer and have started having problems with the software.
Everytime I try to use it after a few mins sometimes 5 sometime less it goes white and says not responding resulting in having to close the program. Im starting to get late on deadlines and this is becoming a problem. Ive resorted to doing one step saving then having to close the program and repeat the process.
My system...
i5 750 OCed to 3.5ghz
8gb 1600mhz ram
I know its not the best but untill now its done this work for me fine. I am using stills at a res of 1920x1080 at 150 dpi and there are thousands of stills but again This is a new problem and I have been doing this for awhile with no issues.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
Thanks for the quick reply.
I did attempt a small batch sized as you stated but it did not help. It doesnt seem to matter what I'm working on within the program I could have no content and just click different menus and within mins the system will stop responding. That being said the final video must be in 1080p.
Here are the the items requested in the FAQ given.
i5 750 OCed to 3.5ghz also tried stock clock settings.
8gbs 1600mhz ram
2 hhd set up as follows
500gb 7400rpm hdd, program Pagefile, Media cache
1tb 7400rpm hdd, media, project file, previews
4gb virtual page file
win 7 fully updated
premiere pro fully updated
No Audio used
Ive tried various file sizes and settings to match those files all with same result.
As I state above the actual conent size, type and quantity doesnt seem to matter 3-5 mins in and it just stops responding.
Things ive tried so far.
I did extensive mem tests on my ram with no issues
reverted my over clock to stock settings
reinstall the software several times.
Also of note my ram never goes over 50% usage so Im not using all my ram.
I hope this helps i tried to include everything mentioned on the listed FAQ

CS4 not responding...

Hi!
My adobe premiere pro cs4 is not responding after a whilewhen im working with a prosjekt.. what can that be?
My computer is brand new. I have a WD velociraptor 150 GB + WD 1 TB hard drives.Intel® Core™ i7 Processor, SAPPHIRE HD 3650 512MB DDR2 PCI-E. I think my computer is good enough to use the program..
The only thing I can think of is that Im using windows 7 a test verson, can that be a problem? It should be compatible with the OS? I`ve tried it in vista too and got the same problem som I think its a bit strange...
The not responding problem happens all the time, but not when Im opening or importing files. It happens mostly when Im using the files in the timeline, for instanse when Im moving a clip from one place to another. It also happens when Im finished rendering my work area. Im using avi format DV Pal and I have capured most of my videoes on windows movie maker . It usually dont happen before I have moved a coupple for clips or saved it to or three times. And then I have to restart the program again.
Another example is when I mute the sound in the timeline,then the program suddenly not responding again.. The strange about this is that it doesnt happen every time, or it happens every time but not when im doing the same thing.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
Down in the right corner it says generating peak file for.... can it be something to do with this or is it just my computer that is not good enough?
Anyone?

Hi!
Okay! I tried two converter, one says cant convert because its not avi 1 file, the other one converted it and I tried it in CS4. The clip was in about one minute long or something. I put it in the timeline and I got this red line (dont know whats it called, but know it has to be rendered). So I clicked on the rendered butten and it starts to render: Time left : probably one hour or something.. so I cancelled the whole thing..
Okay I thought if this is the problem, then I just can capture my tape again in the right way with CS4. So I tried that to. Ive attached a file where you can see the message I got.
Does anyone else has this problem too?
But I think it is strange that this can be the problem.. I have tried former versons of premiere and it has worked the with the moviemaker capture. And CS4 seems to work perfectley because I can put the clip in the timeline, press space and see the whole clip or all clips on the monitor, I can put on some effects and do a couple of things untill it suddenly just dont respond...
If the CS4 didnt work with my type of avi file, would it work so perfecly a while and out of nothing just not?
hope someone can help me, really want to get this to work!!

Dreamweaver cs4 not responding

Hi,
I have just installed CS4 on my work computer which has a Windows OS.
I am finding that when I open files in Dreamwever from the local site, i get a "not responding" message from the task manager and the files take 1-2 mins to open.
Even moving between open *.xhtml files takes 1-2 mins!
I have followed advice on some adobe support pages and upped the page file size, performed a disk cleanup, recreated the Configuration folder in my profile version of Dreamweaver CS4, installed all the latest updates - with no luck
The local version of the site is quite large with over 350 files.
In the Dreamweaver site conifig have also attempted turning of the site cache and removing the remote server setup. (also turned off the check in/out feature)
This did not help either.
The local version of this site is on a network server which is accessed via a mapped drive on my pc - this requires a username and password when i first connect to it, but after the initial connection it does not prompt me again.
I have another local site with files stored on my C: drive which i have no problem opening whatsoever.
Can anyone pleeeeeease help!
This is preventing me from working in Dreamweaver at all....
The next alternative for me is to copy the local site files to my pc for working on - which is really not a good idea as it is not backed up.
any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks Jon very much for your suggestion.
I work on a Macintosh iMac with a 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo running on 2GB 667 MHz memory. I am running no extensions on Dreamweaver.!
I usually pull down any files from my clients' servers then work on the files locally. Once I am happy that the files have been altered appropriately I then send them back up to the server.
Up till now the files have worked relatively well although they can take a little while to load. I notice that if I view the files in code only there is no problem but since I am fundamentally a designer I like to see what it is I am doing and tend to avoid working with the files in code.
I have done exactly what you have suggested although I have done that before thinking it would 'clear out' the system. Sadly, despite my meticulous attention to removing all the files associated with Dreamweaver the problem still persists.
There are some points to note in all this. While trying to pin down the problem I have noticed that it is the larger file sizes that jam Dreamweaver BUT it is a relative problem. Big files on one of the clients sites are small files on other client sites - one minute it will not open a 50k file for one client the next it will be a 372k file on another site that stalls!
It is interesting just how many people there are out there having the same issues that I appear to be having.
Thanks for all your help

Flash CS4 not responding on close

Lately I am unable to close Flash without an error that the program is not responding. I can close files, and they will show in the recent file history, but when I close the program itself, it shows a white screen only. In the task manager it shows that it is not responding.
When I tried to poke around a little, I found that this error always occurred when I had used Actionscript. This was true for about 2 weeks. Then the problem worsened, and now, even if I just open Flash and close it again (without opening any file) it keeps crashing.
I've seen a post for Flash CS3 with no real answers to this problem. My hope is that someone (anyone) has an idea what might be causing this.
I am running Flash on an XP machine with sufficient processor and memory.
Thanks in advance...

I know this is a year old, but I am having the exact same issue. Flash CS4 on windowsXP 32bit...anyone?

Dreamweaver CS4 not responding well on Mac

I just upgraded to CS4 yesterday. It seems every other thing I do in Dreamweaver, it doesn't respond to my click, then turns to the colorful spinning disc for a minimum of 10 seconds. This is for nearly every click action... it is very annoying and inefficient. I deleted the configuration files but that didn't work. This same problem happened periodically in CS3 as well, but appears much worse now. Any ideas? I'm on a Mac Pro, OS 10.5.7 with 4 GB of RAM.

Illustrator CS4 Not Responding

I am on a PC Windows Vista 64bit. First Indesign gave me problems not it is Illustrators turn.
Recently illustrator CS4 has started to freeze. The "when" changes day to day and not every day. Sometimes it freezes after starting it up before even opening a file. Sometimes only when opening an existing file, then when creating a new file. Somedays it will open and let you make changes but then freezes when trying to save. I give it a few minutes just in case it is being slow but it never unfreezes. Yesterday it worked perfectly after the updates. Today it is back to freezing again when I try to open/create a file. It can't be a corrupt file if it freezes on creating a new file. This is affecting my job. If I can't open, change, or create new files, I'm stuck. Please let me know what information you need to get a clearer picture of the problem. I am a graphic artist not an IT person, but my boss expects me to figure out how to fix it. Any suggestions would be great but hopefully not too complicated.
Thanks!

PS CS4 eating memory and not responding

I have PS CS4 (11.0.1) and for the past month and a half, using PS has been excruciating. Whenever I open PS, my memory usage goes through the roof, hanging out consistently in the high 90% range. The program becomes almost unusable whenever I choose the text tool. After choosing the text tool, I get the continual spinning hour glass, the black bar at the top of the screen shows up with (not responding) and if I try to click anywhere the screen goes faded and it's a crap shoot whether or not it comes back or I get the "program is not responding" box. After closing PS, my memory almost instantly drops to it's normal levels of between 30 and 40%.
Like I said, this has only been happening for about a month (maybe less) or so. Is there anyone out there that can help?
Thanks, Dave

First of all, I want to say thanks for all the help so far.
OK, I called my brother-in-law and it turns out that he didn't install just a few fonts, he installed a few font packs, totalling about 4,000 fonts . I've gone through and deleted every one, other than system fonts, and the text tool responds a lot faster, but the memory issue is still plaguing me. Granted it's not nearly as bad as before, but it's still pretty slow. I checked the memory allocated to PS, and I've got 2 gigs total and a little less than 1 gig available to PS. My scratch disks (not really sure what those are) are my D and an external HD. Is there anything else I can check to speed this program up?
