PSE 11 continually hangs during panorama photomerge

Host computer is an Intel Macbook Pro, 2.4G Core 2 duo preocessor, running OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) with a 128GB solid state drive and 8GB of 1067 Mhz DDR3 memory installed.
It happened more than a few times while attempting to merge six Tiff files, each with a file size of almost 12MB. The result was the same even after trying the photomerge with just three of the almost 12MB Tiff files.
I checked preferences to determine what the program's system memory requirements were, but discovered that I could not allocate more than 3GB of memory to PSE; it is recognizing not the 8GB which are installed but only 3GB.
I wasn't able to detect how to include a text file attachment here. Hang reports were saved and can be submitted.

Will try again with pano/photomerge another time. The previous seminar-supplied image files have been deleted. I've got to take a look at saved photos on my laptop drive to match similarly-sized test images.
Unrelated, but I happened to come across a crash, as opposed to hang, report which was generated while PSE 11 was initially installed last week. I'd forgotten about it but was reminded when I saw the report.
Adobe's own FAQs here make particular mention that existing previously installed versions of PSE will play nicely with current ones. Hopefully the fact that I've still got PSE 9 installed isn't a contributing factor with '11 stalling/freezing.
Speaking of memory, mine, or the lack of it, I'd like you to know how much I appreciate your prompt and insightful support on this, Barbara.
On the matter of contacting Adobe support here, with the exception of PSE's forums, I can't for the life of me find a link to reach anyone at Adobe support. Might you be kind enough to furnish me with a link or alternate way to provide them with my crash/hang reports? Who knows?----maybe there's a conflicting file or script from another app that's contributing to this issue, and fingers crossed perhaps I'll be fortunate enough to get the right person the first time or at least have the query routed up the priority chain.
thanks again.

  • PSE 11, Panoramic Photomerge is not in the pull-down window

    Hi everyone:
    I just purchased the upgrade from PSE 9 to PSE 11 for the Mac. I was having "glitches" when doing Panoramic Photomerge; sometimes the file photos I chose to merge would be ignored by the program and it would never even open them. At least in PSE 9, when I opened the program - the pull down Panoramic Photomerge selection was there.
    The glitches got me thinking: maybe I was having a problem due to the fact that the program was an older version? Okay, let's upgrade and see if the newer PSE 11 is even better!  Interestingly enough, when opening PSE 11 - the Panoramic Photomerge selection isn't even present in the software. From what I can tell from the tutorials - it's still a feature available - just not my download. Help!!! I have no idea what to do to fix it. I see no error codes or anything like that; it's like the features doesn't exist on my machine.
    Anything anyone can recommend would greatly be appreciated. I really love the Panoramic Photomerg feature.
    Jeff

    They got it partially right. If you go to Help> Photoshop Elements Help and enter panorama in the search box you get a page of links.
    The first link (http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/using/stitching-together-panoramas.html) as you say tells you to look under the File menu (as does the fourth).
    The second link (http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/getting-started/photomerge-panorama.html) correctly describes the Enhance menu path.
    And of course in the Organizer it appears under the Edit menu. The lot of a product documentation writer is not a happy one

  • PSE 8 panoramic Photomerge does not work

    I've been unable to get panoramic Photomerge to work in PSE 8. After selecting the files, there is a blank panoramic screen with no photo's in them. I had used this function in PSE 5 and it always worked fine. Tried converting the files to other formats - e.g. PSD and jpg first before using the photomerge function but still no luck. I either get a blank photomerge screen or an error message. Any suggestions?

    Sometimes I got the blank (checkered) panoramic file screen using PSD files when using the Organizer to start Photomerge - so I didn't consistently get the error message.
    The behavior using jpg files seems inconsistent as well. One time was able to get it to work using the Editor then tried replicating it and would get the error message again.
    Just now tried again starting from raw files in the Organizer and it worked properly! Replicated this three times and seems for now at least to be working properly (using all file formats). Hopefully this correct functionality will persist...   Very strange.
    The jpg files were 2848X4272 but file size seems moot since it now appears to be working with all types (raw using PSE's conversion, PSD or JPG)

    I bought Adobe Elements 12; I cannot use panorama photomerge, I have followed the directions to go to Full Edit  mode in edit workspace> choose File> New> Photomerge. However the Photomerge does not work, it does not respond.
    The only thing I can come up with is that I found a blog that said that in the Trial version Photomerge does not work, however I do Not have the Trial version, I did at one time but I purchase Adobe Elements. Thank you.

    The blog was incorrect. Photomerge should work in the trial, too.
    When things get weird in PSE the first thing to do is to delete the prefs. Go to the editor preferences>general, click this button and restart the editor:

  • ITunes 10.5 hangs during iPhone 4 sync

    Just installed iTunes 10.5 and attempted to sync iPhone 4/4.3.5 several times. The process hangs while "Backing up" with the status bar right under the t in (Step 1 of 5). I've swiped the phone to cancel, which leaves iTunes continuing on as if the phone were still syncing. I used Task Manager to quit iTunes on Win Vista, restarted iTunes and attempted to sync again. Hangs in the same place. So, I restarted the computer, restarted iTunes and it's still hanging during Backing up...  I am so frustrated! Help!!!

    I've two Windows 7 64 bit desktops.
    On the one I've always used which has all my backups, apps, music etc etc I'm having the same problem and I've tried everything including above suggestion, removing and reinstalling, New download, stopping processes using MSCONFIG and Autoruns all to no avail.
    On the scond PC it's all working perfectly but I've no backups, apps, data, music or data.
    Not happy.

  • IPhone/iTunes sync hangs during "backup" phase

    When I plug my iPhone into my Mac, a sync with iTunes starts. That's fine; what's not fine is that the synchronization always "hangs" during the "Backing up your iPhone" phase. If I click the little "X" on the iTunes display window, it proceeds fine, presumably skipping the backup phase of the sync.
    How can I stop this from hanging during the synchronization?
    Thanks.

    I have been experiencing this problem lately as well. I've been using an Iphone for over a year now and this is a NEW problem in the last 30-45 days.
    My Iphone takes over an hour and a half to complete the backup. It appears to be hung but is not.
    I also just got off the phone with Apple Tech Support....yeah...that was a waste of time. Essentially, they told me that ALL the data on your iphone goes through the Itunes server across your active internet connection and the time can vary depending upon how busy the server is and how much data is on your Iphone.
    Holly Crap!....who designed the architecture for this thing. I don't know about the rest of you, but I find this completely unacceptable. If this continues beyond September, I am switching to a Blackberry. When I connect my Iphone I don't expect to retire before the freakin thing finishes.

  • BIOS hangs during post

    Well I decided to start a new topic on my continuing problem. I reinstalled my memory in the correct config. (DIMM 1 and 3) but it still hangs during POST. I cleared NVRAM, cleared CMOS settings and reloaded the defaults. I have counted the number of times I have to hit the reset button before it decides to load. It is usually 3... I am at a complete loss as for what the problem is. When it works, it works fine, but more often than not, it hangs and the LEDs on my DDR hang also...The memory is brand new so that's not a problem. This might be more of an annoyance than anything that I can fix, but I really don't  understand...

    Yes, all corsair RAM is warrantied to 2.8V, except PC4000 and above, which they warranty to 2.9V. If you wish to clarify this with them direct then read or post here
    I think there is a compatibility problem with this chipset / memory combination, please read:-
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threadid=24288&sid=&hilight=twinx+3200c2
    and
    http://www.houseofhelp.com/forums/showindex.php?s=d70e4df71151b858162832276f5f31d1&threadid=14984&highlight=twinx+1024+3200c2
    I suspect that PAT is playing a part in this, but you need to confirm this via BIOS.
    In Frequency / Voltage Control
    Do you have Performance Mode: Slow.
    If so, I would try manually setting timings:-
    Advanced Chipset Features
    DRAM Timing Setting
    Configure DRAM Timing by SPD: Disabled
    CAS Latency: 3 Clocks
    RAS Precharge: 4 Clocks
    RAS to CAS Delay: 8 Clocks
    Burst Length: 4 Clocks
    Integrity Mode: Disabled
    and see if you can post.
    Second thing to try is just one memory module at a time and run Memtest on each and see which errors.
    If you still can't post at relaxed timings, see if trying some NoName PC3200 memory does the trick!
    Unfortunately, the only DDR400 Corsair Memory Modules listed in this mobo's Compatibility List is the CMX512-3500C2PT and I have a feeling I've read somewhere that the a fix was implemented on these modules to ensure compatibility.
    I would post on the Corsair forum, and see if you can't persuade them to swap your modules for a more compatible type.
    The benefits of Low Latency memory on the 865 / 875 chipsets (all manufacturers) are the subject of much debate anyway and whilst opinion is as ever divided, I am firmly in the higher frequency is better than lower latency group.
    Hope this helps.

    The installer may actually not be hunging, in my installation on Win XP, I have seen it "pause" at this point for 5 min or more before continuing with the installation to a successful completion, I did not try to do anything to assist it. Try giving it more time and see what happens.

  • Multiple cPCI Graphics cards - System Hangs during Boot

    We have 2 Kontron dual output CP332 cPCI graphics cards to install into a NI PXI rack in order to give us 4 graphics outputs.
    When one card is installed it acts as the Primary graphics card and it is required to disable to NI on-board graphics card in order for this to boot and function correctley.
    If a 2nd Kontron CP322 card is added the system will hang during WinXP boot, as it switches from VGA to SVGA mode.
    Disabling the 2nd card via device manager allows the system to boot.
    Re-enabling the 2nd card once booted, then configuring with the ATI driver application allows the 4 graphics output to work as expected.
    If the system is re-powered it will once again hang during WinXp booting.
    Is there anything that can be configured on the NI Embedded PC (BIOS) to prevent this ?
    Is there anything in windows that can be set to prevent this ?
    Can we control the windows device manager from labview in order to enable/disable the 2nd card after power-on and before shutdown.
    many thanks

    Hi Scott,
    I have some more information for you regarding your issue. We have tested the Kontron CP332 with the PXI-8196.
    However when we tested the setup, we had 3 monitors working, the on-board graphics and the dual output from the card.
    Until we get the on-board graphics working with a single CP332 I don't think we will get bot CP332's working.
    So these are the steps to get on-board graphics working with a single Kontron card the steps come from talking to our PXI Product Support Engineer:
    "The first thing you need to make sure is that you are using the
    driver for Windows XP, and not the one for Windows 2000. Here's a link
    to the driver download page:
    http://us.kontron.com/index.php?searchword=cp+332&id=363
    Notice that the first two driver downloads look just the same, but if
    you hover over them and look at the url, you'll notice that the first
    one is for Windows 2000 (w2k), and the second one is for Windows XP
    (wxp). So, just make sure you are using the second one. The PSE did
    mention that she was initially using the Win 2k driver, and was having
    some issues with it hanging and all. Here's the information she sent me
    about how she was able to get things working:
    "Here is the info. My controller has BIOS version 1.3 but have him try this first before updating the BIOS.
    The Kontron Board is the CP 332. I was able to get all three monitors working with the PXI-8196.
    Configuration steps:
    1) Insert both the controller and the kontron board in the chassis.
    Note: When the computer is starting it will give you the Windows boot
    up screen on the DVI 1 on the Kontron board and then give you the login
    screen on the monitor connected to the 8196 so make sure you still have
    a monitor connected to the controller.
    2) Cancel the NI installation wizard if it comes up.
    3)
    Unzip the drivers and run the setup.exe file. Make sure you install
    both the ATI display driver and the ATI Control Panel. (Check the zip
    name to make sure you have the xp version of the driver)
    4) After
    restart go to the Display Properties and under the Settings tab you
    should have monitors 1 and 2 on Mobility Radeon 9000 (Kontron CP-332)."
    If you don't have BIOS version 1.20 or higher, please upgrade to BIOS version 1.30, if you need to upgrade the BIOS please make sure you fully understand the readme file. Then follow the steps above to enable triple output on the graphics cards.
    When you have this working please try adding the second Kontron card.

  • Skype continuously hanging on one PC

    Hi all,
      on my laptop Skype is continuously hanging.
    During a text chat I see quite often that the skype windows freezes and I have to wait 5-10 seconds before it gets back to normal and I can type messages.
    During a video call if the same thing happens the call is dropped and I have to start a new one.
    I tried updating the drivers of the display and IE to 11, since i saw similar posts, but it didn't help.
    I am using Windows 7 SP1, 64 bits.
    Can you please help?
    Thanks,
    Francesco

    Thanks Caprelous for your reply.
    During a video call i saw Skype process going up to 25% of CPU usage.
    While in idle it's 0%.
    I ran the dxdiag and I am attaching the output.
    Thanks again for your help.

  • IPod recognized, but hangs during update

    So my iPod will show up in Finder and in iTunes, and automatic updating will begin. However, at random times during the update, sometimes 4 songs in, sometimes 65, the whole process will just hang. iTunes status screen gets stuck on flashing between "Updating iPod..." and Song 65 of 2054 and just flash between those two over and over.
    Meanwhile, the iPod screen itself is also stuck and no longer flashing "Do Not Disconnect" -- it's a steady screen with none of the normal flashing.
    Tried resetting, doesn't do anything.
    Tried restoring, and it hangs after Authenticate asks me for my password to Restore the iPod.
    I wind up having to just force disconnect and force quit everything and restart.
    Anybody else have this problem? Thanks for any help you can give.
    Oh btw, OS 10.3.9, iTunes 4.9, iBook G4.

    I am having the same issue where it hangs during update -- seems to always happen around the 1800th song. Here's more specifics:
    -I've got 7000 songs in my Library
    -my iTunes Music folder is located on an external FireWire HD
    My Mac has no problems mounting the iPod. No problems restoring with iPod Updater. No problems with erasing using Disk Utility.
    I have tried the following:
    1. Resetting and then restoring via iPod Updater.
    2. Erasing/reformatting via Disk Utility, including zeroing out all data, and then restoring via iPod Updater.
    3. Resetting into Disk Mode.
    4. Manually updating songs.
    5. Automatcially updating songs.
    Nothing works. I have been troubleshooting this for about 8 hours now with no luck. No matter what I do differently, it always hangs around song 1800. I even tried uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes -- and I have tried this with several different user accounts and on different partitions I have set up.
    When it "hangs," the iPod itself just makes a the "clicking" sound of a HD. I'm wondering if the HD is just bad -- but it came up with no errors when checking with Disk Utility.
    Any more suggestions?

    I have continuously over the last 6 months struggled with syncing my iphone and ipod with itunes  The app continually crashes during the picture import.  AND by the way it takes 10-15 minutes before it even attempts to import photos.  The screen says importing photoes but doesnt try to optimize or anything for 10 minutes.  I have a 3gs with 16Gb so its not a cheap phone.  I have 10Gb free.  I have 6600 photoes.  This is very frustrating and undermines my confidence in your products.  My ipod is an ipod 4 with 16Gb also.  It does the exact same thing to it.  The last time, I had to import photoes a few at the time and with it taking 10-15 minutes each time for 6600 photos it is a long frustrating process.  But it will import every photo a few at a time.  The error message is just that itunes has stopped working.  no hint as to why. AND of course, my phone is out of use for the entire time.  You guys must not want to believe ur phones are a necessary tool...or maybe you dont want the consumer to believe it is.  I have tried to find solutions on your website as well as through other 3rd party communities.  Ultimately they were of no use.  I stumbled onto my solution by accident since Im a bit of a computer geek...a semi-geek.

    I have this issue too, I went into my Windows event viewer. (should have looked at this a year ago when this started)

    It is silly that iTunes cannot add pictures to apple devices. it shatters whatever incline I may have to buy apple products. knda like the Airport Extreem router my dad bought the new firmware, caused my router to not function... why release firmware that breaks a product. -_- <-- off topic but still
