PS elements 12 freezing when doing selective color and having to force quit on Mac.

PS elements 12 freezing when doing selective color and having to force quit on Mac.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times and that did not work.  I've changed preferences and that did not work and i tried hitting shift+command and option at start up of program and that did not fix the problem either.

Hi,
We sincerely apologize for the problem customers are facing while using a trackpad with Photoshop Elements 11 & 12 on Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite).
We have been actively working with Apple to resolve this problem as quickly as possible. We're hopeful this will get completely resolved in an upcoming update of Yosemite(MAC 10.10).
In the meanwhile, you have two options to work around this problem:
1. Option1: Use a mouse instead of the trackpad
2. Option2: Install a plug-in which should workaround the problem
Plug-in installation instructions:
1. Close Photoshop Elements
2. Download this zip file to a location you can easily find (e.g. your desktop)
3. Unzip the file, WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin, and move it to the Plug-In folder:
• For Elements 12 – //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 12/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
• For Elements 11 - //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 11/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
You can verify the plug-in is installed by launching the Photoshop Elements Editor and choosing Help > System Info... Scroll to the bottom of the text in the dialog and look for the plug-in name "WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin".
Note: This plugin is a temporary workaround and should be used until this issue is addressed in Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite). Please remove this plugin once the issue is officially resolved by Apple.
If you are using a stylus in conjunction with a trackpad, you might see issues with your trackpad. Workaround in this particular case is to use mouse instead of the trackpad.
Hope this helps!
Regards,

  • MBP freezes when doing too much and cmd-tabbing

    My MBP sometimes freezes when I am doing a bunch of stuff on my laptop and then I cmd-tab to another application. When I say my laptop freezes, I mean that the system is frozen, keyboard input does not work, but moving the mouse DOES work (even though clicking on anything doesn't do anything.) I have to do a hard reset to get out of this, meaning I press and hold on the power button until the computer shuts down.
    Any suggestions as to how I can fix this? I've encountered this numerous times, typically once a week usually. It actually seems like it happens during times when I am cmd-tabbing very rapidly (i.e. when doing web development, I will cmd-tab to my browser, refresh, cmd-tab to my text editor, etc. but how can this freeze my powerful system?! I only typically use about 1.5 GB of the RAM).
    Thanks in advance!

    If there any pattern to what applications you have open when you get the freezing? You will probably find it's an application rather than the application switcher itself. Also, check your Dashboard widgets. If you are using 3rd party widgets try closing them and see if the problem goes away.
    You can also try deleting your Finder preferences by dragging the file…
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
    … to the Trash (don't empty it just yet) and then immediately restarting and see if that makes a difference.

  • Firefox stalls when not in use and must be forced quit.

    The program works fine while I am actively using it. When it is in the background while using another application, or when I wake the computer from sleep and bring up Firefox, the program has stalled/become unresponsive. This phenomenon started approximately two weeks ago. I have turned all add-ons acquired the past six months in an attempt to eliminate conflicts, but the program still freezes when not active at least once a day.

    You can also consider to create a new profile to have a fresh start. That will also get rid of some weird pref values.
    See "Creating a profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    You can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem

  • ITunes freezes when I select help

    iTunes freezes when I select help. Does the same thing in safe mode. Reinstall didn't help. iTunes 10.7.0.21. Windows 7 64 bit
    When I choose iTunes help from the help menu, the help window opens with half of the window on screen and half of the window off of the screen to the right. The computer and other programs continue to work correctly but I need to use task manager to get iTunes to close.
    Any thoughts???
    Thanks, Tony

    SUCCESS!
    After trying all the suggestions above I googled the issue and came across a Windows specific forum where a guy had a software conflict with Malwarebytes.
    That got me thinking about a startup item conflict.
    Using Msconfig, I systemattically turned off half of my startup items, did a restart, tested the result.
    In my case, with half of the items off, I could access the itunes store.
    I turned on half of the remaining items, restarted, tested the result.
    I could still access the store.
    After about 8-10 cycles of this, I found that a startup item called OC_Guru_II was the culprit.
    It is an overclocking utility that came with my Gigabyte brand Nvidia video card.
    I'm confident that this was my problem. It is 100% repeatable.
    Hope that it helps some of you when the other stuff doesn't.
    All the best to everyone,
    Tony

  • Photoshop elements 11 freezes when I try to back up the catalogue. i get a message "Please wait while Elements Organizer prepares for backup". what do i do?

    Photoshop elements 11 freezes when I try to back up the catalogue. i get a message "Please wait while Elements Organizer prepares for backup". what do i do?

    Thank you for responding.  Nothing actually worked!  After reading the posts online, I called Apple.  They indicated they have seen problems with some software after their upgrades.  The technician was able to fix the problem on my computer remotely, but I have no clue what he did!  But, it was definitely related to their recent upgrade to my computer.

  • If in my Hardware section of System Information, when I select Thunderbolt and the reply is:    Thunderbolt: No hardware was found,  does that mean the computer does not contain Thunderbolt or that no Device using Thunderbolt is attached?

    If in my Hardware section of System Information, when I select Thunderbolt and the reply is:
      Thunderbolt: No hardware was found,
    does that mean the computer does not contain Thunderbolt or that no Device using Thunderbolt is attached and that the computer does have thunderbolt?
    I have Lion and both my Mini Server and Macbook Pro are less than a year old, however both were bought from Apple as reconditioned units so they might be older, and I expected they would have Thunderbolt but when I connect a Black Magic Intensity Extreme unit which is a thunderbolt powered and driven Device using a Thunderbolt Cable to either computer, it is not recognized.

    No other information in Sys Info and I guess as both units, Mini and MBPro, were reconditioned, they were pre July and February , 2011, respectively. 
    I don't suppose there is any way to add Thunderbolt or USB 3.0 to prior generation Mac Products or get similar performance.

  • System preference freezes when i select icloud or mail accounts.

    i migrated from mobile me to icloud and now the system preference freezes when i select icloud or mail accounts. The resources are 100% utilized. I also updated the software. Am using Lion OS X
    Any Help , i need to get out of this.

    No guarantees, what you might like to try the following:
    1. Sign out of your account
    (If you are unable to do this because System Preferences has frozen, Force Quit System Preferences and try again)
    2. When prompted, opt to delete, contacts, calendars etc from your Mac.
    (You are only deleting this data from your Mac, not from iCloud, the data will be reinstated when you log back in. If you need to check that the data is in iCloud before deleting it go to iCloud.com and check each section for data)
    3. Having logged out, check that the iCloud accounts along with their data have disappeared from the Mail, Address Book and iCal Applications.
    (If necessary, delete the iCloud accounts from each of these application separately from each Applications Preferences)
    4. At this point it may be worth trying to log into iCloud from the System Preferences iCloud settings again, if this works, all well and good, if it doesn't continue to step 5.
    5. Open your User Library folder in the Finder. (When in the Finder, go to the Go menu, hold down the option key (alt) and choose Library when it appears in the Go menu)
    6. Navigate to Library > Application Support > iCloud and drag the iCloud folder to your desktop. (This action only copies the folder and will provide you with a back up)
    7. Select the iCloud folder again in Library > Application Support and drag it to the trash, enter your administrators password when prompted.
    8. Restart your computer.
    9. You should now be able to enter your ID and Password in system Preferences > iCloud and log into your account. Check the services you wish to use and once you are satisfied it's working as it should, trashh the iCloud folder you copied to your desktop earlier.

  • When doing goods receipt and the movement from QA to unrestricted use there

    Dear all,
    when doing goods receipt and the movement from QA to unrestricted use there is an yellow error message
    Error in EXIT_ SAPMM07_004 : Object 10462311E06/52,Char."LOBM_UDCODE,Value 01 A0,error"VALUE_NOT_FOUND"
    Inspection Lot : 10000283512
    System Status : UD ICCO SPRQ

    Hi,
    Did you use the follow up action in the UD code selection? It looks from the error that program is unable to find the UD code.
    Kindly check the configurations in QM and see that everything is working fine?
    Alternatively, if you are using the follow up action, then remove that first. Do the GR using MIGO -- this will create the inspection lot. Confirm the inspection using QA11 by entering the UD code for acceptance. Thereafter the the stock will rest in QI status. Use MB1B and perform the transfer posting with movement 321 to bring the stock to unrestricted use.
    Regards,
    Sushant

  • Why does the color and or tone of my image change?

    Why does the color and or tone of my image change after working in LR for a couple of hours? I open LR and everything looks fine - work for a couple of hours on the same shoot - but then the pictures start to look flat or greenish cast as time goes by. All the files get flat and the greenish cast after a couple of hours - the ones already worked on and the newer ones I'm pulling up to work on. RAW files downloaded from a Canon 30D. Also exporting to PSCS2 as PROPhoto results in a flat image. I switched back to export AdobeRGB.

    Hola - thanks for the reply - yep - closing and then opening LR helps - but can't do that all the time after processing 3 or 4 files.
    One reply was a corrupt monitor color profile - So I deleted that one and loaded a new adobeRGB profile. That helped a little also for a while - I then reloaded my monitor drivers and refreshed them - that help for a day - the greenish cast is back It works fine on my laptop for now. The same pictures that look greenish in LR look great in Canon DPP. So it probably wasn't the color profile or monitor drivers. My issue started with the small scale previews so I bumped that up. Still have the issue. I finished up a project and now going to uninstall and reinstall LR. Let's see what happens with a fresh install. andy.

  • I'm having trouble deleting mail. When I select all and delete it doesn't always work. Is there a glitch in this app?

    I'm having trouble deleting mail.  When I select all and delete it doen't always work.  Is there a glitch inthis app?

    Have you reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen? If that doesn't resolve this, you can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will not lose any data, but all device settings will have to be entered again.
    If that doesn't fix it, your next step might be to backup then erase all content and settings or restore the iPad to factory settings. See how if goes if you reset all settings first.
