Pse 10 freezing/not responding?

Hi
I'm following a Scrapbook course. When I'm attempting to assemble a page, I am frequently getting 'not responding' in the top left, and the programme freezes. What is going on please?

I am assuming that it is freezing but not crashing so might be due to performance issue. Please try some of the performance enhancement options here http://blogs.adobe.com/pselements/tips-to-enhance-photoshop-elements-performance/
Thanks,
Garry

The "hanging/freezing/not responding" problem that existed in all versions of Firefox 3.6 persists in Firefox 4.0

Starting on April 14, 2011, I tried installing Firefox 4.0, which I downloaded from the Mozilla site. The first couple of times I tried to install it, it corrupted Firefox file places.sqlite. I know this because the install renamed the file to places.sqlite.corrupt. Luckily, I had recent backups. My previous installed versions were 3.5.18, which I had been using up to this time, and 3.6.16. I tried installing 4.0 with 3.6.16 installed, which I installed only for the sake of installing 4.0, and with no previous version installed and got the same bad results. I finally got a "successful" install on April 16, 2011, with no previous version installed.
Early on I discovered that Firefox 4.0 hangs (Firefox not responding) when left to idle for exactly 5 minutes (I timed it several times after immediately starting Firefox), pegging a constant 50% of the CPU when it hangs. I left it in a hanging state for up to half an hour, but nothing changed. This problem existed for all versions of Firefox 3.6, which is why I didn't install version 3.6.16 until I was ready to install version 4.0. I never kept any version of Firefox 3.6 installed for more than a couple of hours because of this problem. I need to be able to let Firefox stay idle for long periods of time -- certainly for more than 4 minutes and 59 seconds -- without having it hang, and I was able to do that with all versions of Firefox prior to version 3.6. It's incomprehensible that Firefox 4.0 has to always hang if it's inactive for more than 4 minutes and 59 seconds, and it's incomprehensible that this problem has been present and persistent since version 3.6 was introduced. To believe that 4 minutes and 59 seconds is sufficient idle time for a browser is absurd. This was never an issue with any version of Firefox prior to version 3.6, this was never an issue with Netscape, and it's not an issue with IE 8.
There are 2 other problems related to the hanging problem. If the browser and the bookmarks library are both open and the browser is closed normally, the bookmarks library remains open. After being left idle for exactly 5 minutes, the bookmarks library hangs, pegging a constant 50% of the CPU. If Firefox 4.0 is restarted before the 5 minute idle limit, it starts successfully. If an attempt is made to restart it after the 5 minute idle limit, it won't start. If the bookmarks library is left open for less than 5 minutes after the browser is closed, it can be closed successfully. In all versions of Firefox prior to version 3.6, the bookmarks library automatically closed when the browser was closed. The other related problem is that Firefox 4.0 occasionally pegs a constant 50% of the CPU without hanging even while it is being used and even if the only thing open is the home page, which in my case is google.com. Firefox can be used while this is happening, but it is worrisome and shouldn't be happening. Normally, Firefox 4.0 uses no CPU when it is left to idle within the 5 minute idle limit.
Firefox 4.0 has not crashed on its own yet, so I've had no crash reports to send to Mozilla, but because I've had to use the "End Now" button on the Microsoft unresponsive program window numerous times to terminate it when it hangs, numerous Microsoft Windows dump reports have been generated, all of which I've sent to Microsoft.
The last fully working version of Firefox I had was 3.5.18. Unfortunately, I don't have the installer for that version and Mozilla doesn't make it available anymore. Also, it looks like version 4.0 altered the places.sqlite file such that I might not be able to go back to version 3.5.18 even if I could. If I could reinstall version 3.5.18 and get it to work with the altered places.sqlite file, I would, but it is outdated and no longer supported by Mozilla, and I only want to use up-to-date and supported software.
The hanging problem is totally intolerable and unacceptable. If I can't get a version of Firefox 4.0 anytime soon that doesn't hang after being idle for just 5 minutes (why 5 minutes???) or for any limited amount of time, I'll have to install and use Google Chrome as a permanent replacement for Firefox. (If I do have to replace Firefox with Google Chrome, how can I get my Mozilla Thunderbird e-mail links to open in Google Chrome when I click on them?) Based on other user feedback regarding this problem dating back to the very first Firefox 3.6 version, Mozilla has had ample time to resolve it. I have found other problems with Firefox 4.0, but I'm not going to bother telling Mozilla about them because if the hanging problem isn't resolved soon, I'll have to stop using Firefox permanently. I can't and won't tolerate the hanging problem. I have been using Firefox exclusively for many years, but my disappointment with it has been growing since version 3.6 was introduced and my patience has run out.
I would appreciate Mozilla letting me know within a week of this posting if they can't or won't fix the Firefox 4.0 hanging problem. If I don't receive a substantive response to this problem within a week, I'm going to have to abandon Firefox permanently and switch to Google Chrome. I'm also going to leave a negative review of Firefox 4.0 on CNET to warn other potential users of the hanging problem.
I am running Windows XP Media Center Edition 32-bit SP3 on a Dell XPS 400 desktop computer. I have an Intel Pentium D CPU 2.80GHz, 3.0GB Dual-Channel DDR2 RAM @ 265MHz, RADEON X300 SE 128MB HyperMemory, and 190GB of free space on my hard drive. I am using COMODO as my firewall and Avira AntiVir as my anti-virus software. I am also using WinPatrol and Secunia PSI. My ISP is AT&T. My download speed averages 2.5 Mbps, and my upload speed averages 0.65 Mbps. All of my software is up to date, thanks to Secunia PSI and CNET TechTracker, and my computer is free from infection.

Another aspect of the Firefox 4.0 "hanging/freezing/not responding" problem has emerged. I have found that on the common occurrence when Firefox 4.0 occasionally pegs a constant 50% of the CPU while idling within the 5 minute idle limit and I close it normally, it disappears from the Task Bar but continues to run and continues to peg a constant 50% of the CPU. I tried restarting Firefox 4.0 and got the following message: "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." Before Firefox can be restarted, the existing Firefox process must be killed via the Task Manager or Process Explorer (I use the latter), after which a Microsoft Windows dump report is immediately generated. I always allow the dump to be sent to Microsoft.
The three big questions that have gone unanswered by Mozilla are 1) why did the hanging problem start with the very first release of Firefox 3.6, 2) why was the problem allowed to continue on up to and through Firefox 4.0, and 3) why hasn't Mozilla fixed the problem yet? And what is the significance of the 5 minute idle limit? Do Firefox 3.6 through 4.0 try to launch something when the browser and/or the bookmarks library have been idle for exactly 5 minutes? Maybe it's a problem with the number and/or type of plugins and extensions and/or the number of bookmarks. Maybe Firefox 3.6 through 4.0 work just fine if there are few to no plugins, extensions, and bookmarks, but that doesn't realistically accommodate users. Whatever the cause of the problem, Mozilla should have had a handle on it by now.
If anyone from Mozilla Support is reading this post, please let me know if it is possible to roll back Firefox 4.0 to Firefox 3.5.18. If it is possible, how do I do it, and where can I get the installer for Firefox 3.5.18? If I can reinstall it, I'll use it until Secunia Software Inspector informs me that it is insecure and no longer safe to use. At that point (maybe much sooner), I'll switch to Google Chrome exclusively because I don't want to use outdated software that is insecure and because I don't believe that Mozilla intends to fix the hanging problem and is willing to lose users over it. I certainly don't want to use software like Firefox 4.0 that has such an impactful problem. If I do have to abandon Firefox, how can I click on Mozilla Thunderbird e-mail links and get them to open in Google Chrome?

PSE 9 Organizer Not Responding

I just bought PSE 9. I started tagging people in organizer and it seemed to be working fine. Now I can work for a few minutes and all the sudden the little blue Window oval appers and it says that PSE Organizer is not responding and it gives me the option to close the program or wait for the program resume. I can hear my hard drive working like crazy when this happens It usually takes about 10 minutes to recover. It has gotten to the point that it often stops responding when I click on any thing in Organizer
I am very unhappy with this situation, does anyone have any idea whats is goin on and how I can fix it?
I am using Windows 7 with 6 meg of RAM

Same problem, have seen post that suggest it is a problem with your catalog.
I have since had to make up three new catalogs, this is getting very old!!!
If anyone has other solutions, please let me know.

PSE 10 Organizer NOT RESPONDING

Organizer has worked for several months. Two days ago stopped responding. Got Adobe Tech support to help un-installing and re-installing, but no change. PSE 9 Organizer works OK. Thumbnails load okay, but when move slider or try to edit get "Oranizer Not Responding" message and screen dims. When re-installed settings change so goes to Organizer automatically on opening, so Home/welcome screen not available. Before re-installation tried tutorials, etc. and they worked okay. I'm essentially out of business on PSE 10. How do I get Organizer to work?

I just followed advice of others to turn off all Media Analysis and Backup Synchronization and the Organizer appears to working normally again! Many thanks!!

Snow Leopard running slow, freezing, not responding.

I am running Snow Leopard on Mac 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 3 GB SDRAM.
Over the last few days the machine has gradually become slower and slower, the spinning wheel frequently appears and programs are not responding and the system freezes.
When I restart, on a couple of occasions a white screen with grey pixel blocks has flashed up during start up, other times it has frozen on the blue screen.
I have tried running Disk Warrior, Disk Utility, ClamXav, Onyx and disconnected all hardware, then finally I have reinstalled Snow Leopard but still seem to be having the same problems.
By the way, I am also running VMware Fusion, don't know if this is relevant.
Any suggestion, please?

I would try running the extended version of your Apple Hardware Test.
It's not perfect but may flag something.

Itunes freezes/not responding

Can anyone plese tell me how to fix my problem? I have successfully down loaded itunes and quicktime, however, everytime I finish importing a cd or eject my daughters ipod the program stops working. It freezes and my task manager states it is no longer responding. It also freezes up the rest of the programs and my only solution is to restart the computer. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

This is my problem as well. I have reinstalled twice and still have the same issue. I have tried setting up a new user account on my computer no luck. I am in the same sinking ship.
Please Help???

Pages Constantly Freezing (Not Responding) with Lion

The Problem
I use Pages constantly for work, and have for the last two years. It has always had speed issues, and occasional crashes, but after upgrading to Lion, the application has become almost entirely unusable. The problem appears to be related to saving. The application freezes (at least once an hour and frequently as often as once every 10 minutes). I am forced to switch to the Finder and Force Quit. I've re-installed Lion (to fix an OS instability issue) and that didn't help. I also recently re-installed Pages (I used a 3rd party app to totally uninstall the application), and the re-installed version has the exact same issues.
When it Happens
Often Pages freezes when I switch to another application and return. Often it freezes when selecting Save a Version from the file menu. Sometimes it just freezes while I'm working. I don't want to start a discussion about the pros and cons of versions and templates, I really just want Pages to stop freezing up. If I can't do this, I will either have to downgrade to Snowleopard or find another word processor (which I really don't want to do). I've lost a tremendous amount of work related to this issue. I never lost work under Snowleopard.
Preferences
I have unchecked "Back up previous version when saving" and "Save new documents as packages" (the latter being problematic with the version control in Dropbox). I am using a MacBook Pro 17" 2.6GHz Core i7 with 8GB RAM. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I'm not sure this is a Pages issue. You've said you've had to reinstall Lion to fix instability issues. Have these issues really been fixed? Are you having issues with other apps?
I also would not use a third-party program to uninstall Pages. This is just a generic uninstaller and may not uninstall unique files that only Pages creates.
My suggestion would be to:
Create a new user account and run Pages from there. Do the same problems occur? If not, move your data to a new user account and delete the existing user account that has problems.
Make sure there's not a permissions issue on your Mac by Fixing Permissions with Disk Utility (you've probably already done this, but thought I'd mention it just in case)
Delete iWork's font cache:
Macintosh HD/Users/YourName/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWork.fonts
Completely uninstall Pages:
Go to https://public.me.com/koenigyvan
Choose For iWork > iWork '09 > uninstall iWork '09.zip
Download uninstall iWork '09.zip, decompress it, open it in AppleScript Editor and click the Run button
Reinstall and update Pages
Let us know how you go.

Help! iPhone freezing, not responding, and turning itself on and off randomly.

Over the last few days, my iPhone has been going crazy. It all started when I turned on my phone one morning, and the ringer did not work. It told me that headphones were in when I tried to turn the volume up. Later in the day, I plugged my iPhone into my iHome. It then "died" and would not turn on. I tried everything (hard reboot, dfu mode, plugging in wall and computer, etc.) and nothing would turn it on. The next day, I tried to turn it on, and to my surprise, it loaded the "low battery" icon. i plugged it in, and it turned on. It then randomly shut off ten minutes later. It would not turn on, but it allowed me to put it into dfu mode. I downloaded the os and attempted to restore the iPhone. It shut itself off several times and took many attempts until I finally got it restored. Now, it has been turning itself on and off. I got it to turn on, and I used it until it froze. It shut itself off and reboot. It has continued to do this over and over again. I am concerned because my iPhone is out of warranty, and I live far away from anywhere where I can get it fixed. I have no idea what happened to my phone as I did not drop it or expose it to water. Is there any way to fix this? Is there a way to find what part may be broken? If not, what is the cheapest and fastest method of fixing this and is anyone else having the same problems? My phone is currently unusable because I can not turn it on (it only turns on randomly) and it freezes and shuts off a few minutes after it turns on.

Does it power back on by itself straight after turning off? If so I would probably suggest that either the charging port is faulty or maybe it is partially blocked with debris causing a possible short circuit across the pins. Try giving it a clean out first with something none metallic and might just do the trick.

PSE 7 Editor not responding. Stuck in thinking mode for eternity...

Hoping for some help with this issue. Pleeeezee
I start in Organizer, choose an image to edit, click on the quick fix (shoot in Raw), do some simple changes, then if I need more fixes I click on Open Image. The Editor window pops open and then the thinking mode for eternity is what happens next. Sometimes the image does finally appear but it could take several minutes. Has become increasing worse lately where images do not appear at all.
Has 3GB memory, maxed out the memory usage in the performance. Just uninstalled PSE then re-installed it and still have the same issue.
Not sure what else I can try. If anyone has ideas or has dealt with this same issue before, please share.
Thanks!!
-Martin

Please provide more specific info about your computer - processor (single or dual), OS (XP, Vista or 7), 32-bit, video card, etc.
You realize RAW file will require a lot of power to process. Using a memory-stick (ReadyBoost) may help.
Personally, I gave up trying to process RAW in PSE - switched to Lightroom 2. Only use PSE for editing work beyond scope of LR2 - like Panaramas, merged exposure, etc.

2013 word crashes when "save as" .Word freezes "not responding after a few minutes.

2013 word crashes when using the "save as" command. It does save the document but crashes. After working for 3 minutes or so on a document the programme will stop running with the screen frozen. Have to use the windows task manager to close.
Any ideas? Very disappointed as I have already also spent a day trying to get outlook to work using all the advice on these forums. Just not impressed. I'm I going to have the same issues with excel?

Hi,
In regarding of the issue, it may be caused some reason, let's try to narrow down the root cause with the following methods:
1.Try disable all the add-ins to see if this behavior could be caused by the 3rd-party add-ins, if this behavior won't occur with all the add-ins disabled, we can enable them one by one to find out which one might cause the issue.
2.Try repair your Office as a quick fix
3.Try start Word in
safe mode to see if this behavior will still occur, if this behaivor won't occur in safe mode, the behavior might be caused by certain items that are loaded with Word.
4.Try configure Windows in
clean boot mode to check if this behavior could be caused by the 3rd-party services, if this behavior won't occur in clean boot mode, try follow the instructions in the
How to determine what is causing the problem by performing a clean boot section in the following support article:

PSE 8 editor not responding

After I edit a photo with PSE 8 Editor and try and save the edit, Editor goes white (not reponding) for several seconds then finally completes the edit. What is causing this delay?
Thanks,
Phil

In PSE editor under Edit->Preferences: check Performance settings:
*taking the cursor/mouse on each option words will display the description of that option:
Modify the default settings as per your needs:
1) Set the total % PSE can use of available RAM.
2) reduce the number of history states (Undo states)
3) Under scratch disks area in case you have more than 1 drive do check so it can use memory
from more than 1 drives of your machine.
After making this changes close PSE and launch again.
I am sure performance should improve. Let me know if you have any comments.

Itunes 10 freezing/not responding during music playback

Pretty musch as the title suggests. I might get through a few songs but eventually itunes stops responding and i have to kill it via the task manager. Simply playing back music. I just updated to the latest version and it's still happening. Not sure what to do

My iTunes keeps freezing/not responding when I open the program?

I am trying to restore my mum's iPod nano after it just died and won't work- but everytime I open iTunes it crashes! It works for about 1 minute of use before it stops responding and I have to end task, but then when I try and re-open the program it doesn't open unless I plug my own iPod in!
Someone help me try and fix this- mum wants her iPod back and I want my iTunes working again!
My computer operating system is Windows 7
iTunes is the latest update (I think). Any solutions?

I tookyour suggestion and SUCCESS! I can now access the Itunes Store. A simple fix, and thanks so much!!.
Below is the advice you forwarded:
I found a solution to my problem.
> start menu
> accessories,
> right click on the command prompt icon and choose "run as administrator".
Once it opens, type in the following command...
netsh winsock reset
hit enter
You should get a message that the winsock reset successful and you will need to reboot your computer.
Reboot and when I reloaded itunes the store loaded fine.
Thanks again, -Dean Stoneburner

CMYK is a colour system used by specialized publishing businesses so unless you have got your pictures directly from one of these sources they are unlikely to be CMYK.
If the pictures have been produced by you they are likely to be the normal RGB.
To check, ctrl click on an original picture and in the Get Info window check the colour specs.
As you can see this one is RGB.
