PSE would freeze every time I use the brush tool !

Hello guys, my name is Abdulrahman and this is the first time I post so please, take it easy on me. I used photoshop elements and premier 12 for about a year now and everything has been working fine. I haven't actually used PSE for a long time (probably since April) and I opened it 3 days ago trying to use the brush tool, but it would freeze. The cursor would stay as the brush icon no matter where I point it and it would not click anything, I have to force quite the application as it says '(application not responding)" next to it. I looked for help online, I updated PSE as well as my operating system (I work on a Mac by the way), I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the application, and I also tried re-creating the preferences file, however nothing worked. Every other tool works fine, it is probably just the brush tool it has problems working with.

Hi,
We sincerely apologize for the problem that you have been 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,
vaishali

(Photoshop CS2) It crashes every time I use my brush tool for a long time. Help?

Hi,
I have recently been having some trouble with my photoshop cs2 (it isn't my computer because it is easily quicker them the majority of computer I have been on and it's only a recent problem). I can use all my tools very easily without having any little pauses and it wont crash, but with my brush tool, after using the brush for a long stroke without unclicking it crashes. Well, it pauses for 2 mins- 4 hours (wont let me click on another tool or carry on drawing or select layers and such). Since I am an artist and work on photoshop for a living , not being able to use the brush tool is a huge problem for me. I have no intension of updating my software to cs3/4/5, (as I don't want to pay for all that software and then find that it crashes again). I recently got my new bamboo graphics tablet and it is even slower when using that. This is also a very recent problem so I was wondering if anyone else had had this before and found a way around it?
Thanks!,

I actually believe there are updates for Photoshop itself, not through Mac Software Update. You should check if there are any updates for the product on this website. Photoshop also tends to glitch sometimes. For example, on PSCS4 for Mac, after opening the program, and changing the toolbar to the traditional 2-column style, the quck mask button is totally cut off unless I switch it to the 2-column style twice.

Why does Illustrator CC continue to crash every time I use the Curvature Tool?

Help!

Make sure that you close the tab by clicking the close X on the Tab bar or middle-click the tab if the close X is hidden.
If you use the close X in the top right corner then you close the window with all the current tabs.

HT4623 my iPhone 5 keeps freezing every time i use the device. any suggestions ?

.

Delete background apps from memory and then Reset. Press the home button twice quickly, in the new row of icons at the bottom of the screen, touch and hold on an icon. When the Red Minus Signs appear, tap them all. When done Reset, hold both the home and power buttons until the iPhone restarts itself, ignore the "slide to power off" let the iPhone restart itself. Usually takes about 10 seconds of holding both buttons.

Router reboots every time i use the txt app in iphone 3gs

I have a netgear cgd24g router and it reboots only every time i use the text free app in my iphone 3gs. First i felt weird and stated to google this problem. I found people having somwhat same kind of problem with other brands and had suggested few solutions, like resetting it, changing it to a ascii security code with a $, upadating the firmware of the router etc. I have done everything but i still have the same problem. I have 2 laptops and a desktop (no wireless in desktop) nothing is wrong when all three are working together. I even tried adding two more laptops and nothing is wrong. But as soon as i open the text free app and start texting the router reboots like in resetting it. The problem is only with the txt free app. Nothing happen when i browse thru safari or use youtube etc. But wen i use the txt free app the light goes off and comes back on one by one. I even went to the extent of asking my friend to download the app in his iphone and tried it using my wifi , the same thing happened. i even switched out the old netgear router with a new one and the same thing is happening. I am tried of this. CAN ANYONE HELP ME PLEASE ?????

yes i have tried everything from changin the security type to checking the firmware version. The firware version was the latest so i didnt have to update it. About changing the router, i did switch the old netgear cgd24g to a brand new netgear cgd24g. The brand was same because that is what my service provider would give me. I like the sugestion about trying it with a different router and see if the problem persists. If the problem is gone then i will get another one. This will help me figure out where the problem is.

Aperture freezes every time I push the auto exposure button. Any suggestions?

Aperture freezes every time I push the auto exposure button. Any suggestions?

What is your Aperture version? And since when are you haveíng this problem? Did this start, after you imported photos or updated software? Did you move your Aperture library or your original image files? Did Aperture crash?
Does it only happen when you are working in your main Aperture library, or also when you are using a different Aperture library?
As a test, create a new Aperture library and and try to adjust an image there. Does it work?

The disk drive in my iMac 8,1 has stopped working, so I now use an LG 8x Slim Portable that works. However, every time I use the LG drive, I lose contact with my Time Machine back-up drive that has to be deleted and reinstalled. Help!

It's not Logic that can't find them, it's your Komplete apps, though if you did exaclty as you say I can see no reason why they can't.
Do you know where the apps installed them in the first place? I chose a non-standard locarion for mine, but I'm sure it installs sounds to your documents folder/native instruments/name of app.
Go into the prefs of each app and choose the library location button on the library tab and point it to the relevant folder in documents/native instruments and see if that works

Why do I have to search for a wifi network most every time I use the internet?

Why do I have to search for a wifi network almost every time I use the internet?
We have Cox internet on a wireless router.
It doesn't seem to be able to hold the wireless connection.....even a couple hours.
The router sits on the desk next to the computer.
Thanks for any suggestions you have.

I don't have any trouble connecting to the internet once I choose our network from the choices.
The computer just can't remember it.

Using InDesign CC on Windows 7 Ultimate. Every time I hit the text tool button the program crashes

When using InDesign CC, every time I hit the text tool button, the program crashes.

Arpit thanks, I have almost exactly the same issue, except that any editing of any kind in my Indesign CC seems to cause a crash.Windows 7 home premium.64bit
I have received the same solution as you gave above, from the tech team, but cant find the correct file to add the "CopyPlugins.vbs script." to....I get an error message telling me to try again and chose the file adobe indesign CC, and yet that's what I'm doing. There must be an instruction missing for finding the correct file.

How can I draw using the Brush tool and a touch screen?

I need to be able to use the touch screen on my Lenovo Yoga (running Windows 8) to draw using the Brush tool in Photoshop CS6. I'm able to do that in other programs, including Microsoft OneNote and Paint. For some reason, Photoshop will only interpret touching and dragging on the screen as an attempt to pan or scroll, even when the Brush tool is selected. I bought Photoshop - and it isn't cheap - specifically in order to draw using the touch screen, which I need to be able to do for my job. Is there some driver I can download to fix this problem, or some obscure setting I can change?
I would also like to note that Adobe's technical support line exhibits a degree of infuriating unreachability equalled only by the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles. When I called to ask for help with this problem, I was told the expected wait time was between 10 and 14 minutes. After waiting for 50 minutes, I gave up in disgust. Adobe's products are powerful, but what passes for customer service is an utter disgrace.

There's gotta be a way but I just use gimp for touch drawing, save it off as a png, edit in ps or ai.

PSE would freeze every time I use the brush tool !
