RoboHelp 8 Freezes When Trying to Use Any Open Dialog

The title pretty well says it all. RoboHelp freezes when I try to use Open... from the Starter screen or File>Open or any other control that accesses the open dialog (i.e., the open/explore button on the Content Settings tab in the FrameMaker Document Settings dialog). I have to end the process in the Task Manager and restart RoboHelp. (Fortunately, the Recent Projects links work – except for Open..., of course.)
I discovered this when I had to restore links to moved FrameMaker documents. My installation is TCS2 running on Windows 7 32-bit; all updates to all TCS2 components and Windows 7 have been installed.
I tried an in-place reinstall of RoboHelp, but that didn't make any difference.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
John

Hi John and welcome to the RH community.
I'd check that you have both of the 8.0.1 and 8.0.2 updates installed. Also ensure your RH source files are not located on a network drive. Bare in mind that whilst some users manage to run RH under Windows 7, others have reported problems. You should also note that Windows 7 is not an officially supported platform for RH usage.

Preview keeps freezing when trying to use sticky notes

Preview keeps freezing when trying to use sticky notes. I have forced quit it a number of times and also restarted my Macbook Air once to try to solve the problem. Does anyone have a solution?

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Quit Preview. Go to /Users/lloyd/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.plist and drag that folder to your Desktop then relaunch Preview.

-2147024882 Ran out of memory when trying to use automation open

Hello,
I am currently trying to use labview to insert variables into a label template for a brady label printer.
When I run the VI, the load screen appears for labelview 9, then an error is thrown by the automation open command, saying that the system has run out of memory.
I do not understand this, as the application is only told to open once, and is not in a loop or anything.
its driving me absolutely mad, so any help would be greatly appreciated
Here is the output from the error out:
"Not enough storage is available to complete this operation. in TEKLYNX Open.vi->TEKLYNX Example.vi"
(note: TEKLYNX Example.vi is the main VI, all sub vi's will be attached as well)
Attachments:
TEKLYNX Example.vi ‏49 KB
TEKLYNX Open.vi ‏16 KB
TEKLYNX Document Variables.vi ‏73 KB

Ran out of attachments, so here are the rest of the sub VI's

Migration assistant on my old PB G4 freezes when trying to use it

Have looked for a solution to this for a few days now. I have tried to use the migration assistant to facilitate the change to my new Macbook Pro. However, each time I try to use it it freezes on the PB when it gets to the point where my ny MB searches for other macs to connect to (have tried to use a local network through ethernet as well as wireless). It doesn't respond and I have to force it to shut it down.
Could anyone advice on this? Would it just be better to copy all the content manually (a local network through ethernet works fine, without the assistant)? What I am afraid of is to loose data such as mail, ical, etc, i.e. the content I have not saved in specific places myself. It would also be nice to get this to work so that I could get the settings for all applications.
(and finally, I need to ask, how does it work with applications, can they just be moved even if I have not the .dmg-file? I know I need to uninstall some on the old mac because of licence issues.)

This user tip was written a while back but you can use it to restore important items to your users/Home directory.
Then, try transferring your apps via your wireless connection.
Do you have an external hard drive? It is always best to have you data backed up somewhere. Even if it's DVD.
EDIT: As far as moving the apps by dragging, don't. Some can be dragged, most cannot. You don't want to find out which the hard way

Does Apple support MacKeeper. Since installing it, when using Safari the Yahoo Mail freezes when trying to use it. Should I remove MacKeeper, they do not answer my e-mails. Any suggestions appreciated. Yahoo Mail works fine using Firefox.

Any suggestions are appreciated. I'm beginning to think MacKeeper was a BAD idea.

Installing MacKeeper was definitely a bad idea! Search for it on these forums and you'll discover just how much trouble it causes people.
However, all is not lost - here's a link to two ways of removing it:
Either follow WZZZ's instructions on page 1 of this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3298049?start=0&tstart=0
or you can use an uninstaller in this link: http://www.fixkb.com/2011/03/remove-mackeeper.html
(it has been mentioned on other MacKeeper threads that the site has not been 'verified' - not sure how it becomes verified, but it seems there are many who are very pleased that the uninstaller is available. So I guess it's at your own risk - although I've not seen anyone report any problems after using it).

My iphoto freezes when trying to use the standard eBay photo upload, the problem started after a recent iOS 7 update. The album photos don't appear until I try and close the upload and immediately freezes. Attempts to close iphoto fail.

A week or so ago I reacted to an Apple update message. The update completed and this left me with a couple of problems. When the imac started up there was a Glims message on screen telling me that the computer had not closed entirely and asking if I wanted to allow glims to reopen previously open files. I ticked yes and Safari froze immediately. This would happen even after a restart, Safari would start up with the Glims message on my Yahoo mail account. Then whether I clicked on the Glims message or not one of various adverts would appear and Safari would immediately freeze. I managed to override this by quickly entering Safari extensions and subscribing to an advertisement blocking programme. Safari now worked without problems but the blocking programme created other problems mostly with iphoto. The eBay uploaded photos were minute. So I decided to remove the Safari blocking extension and all seemed fine for everything except iphoto which now freezes every time I try to upload eBay photo's using the eBay standard upload problem. Yesterday I changed to the other BASIC upload option and that did work. Thought it might be a one of glitch on the Standard but obviously not. Anyone's help would be appreciated. I note that at least one other member is experiencing the same or similar problem today.

Sorry I am 70 and not very computer literate. Please explain in simpler terms. Perhaps I should have said Apple update for my iMac. It did however include an iphoto update. My imac is 3 years old, I also have an ipad 2 and iPhone and both received iOS 7 updates around the same time.

Illustrator Freezes when trying to use text

Ever had a problem using text in illustrator? Every time I try illustrator crashes :( I'll open a new document and try add some text and freeze. Anyone else had this problem?

deenic,
You may try this solution posted by Tim Baugh a good year ago:
>On a PC go Start>Control Panel>Regional and language options. Check that the lanuages selected in the Regional, Languages/Detail and Advanced are exactly the same. It worked for me.
>Tim
It would have been lost in the abyss, had it not been saved in the VSA.

After Effects CS6 locks up when trying to use Preferences sub-menu

I have an issue with AE "freezing" or locking-up when trying to use any of the sub-menu items under preferences. I have to shut down with task manager to regain control. I have a wintel PC with 8 gig of RAM and 2 TB of disk and a quad-core, don't think any of those are an issue. AE is the only problem child in this entire suite. Any help/guidance is deeply appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time and effort.
Sincerely,
Vidmist

That doesn't meet the system requirements and I think it's safe to say thatr this is the reason for the crash - the program is trying to draw the preferences panel in an invalid area since it cannot deal with the too small screen resolution properly. Increase the screen res and everything will probably work.

I have Mac OSX 10.5.8 and get java "error" message when trying to use research tool on Morningstar Java referred me to Apple but they had no update.Any ideas? thanks.e

I have a imac OSX 10.5.8 and get a java "error" message when trying to use a research tool on Morningstar.Java referred me to Apple but they had no updates. Any ideas? thanks.

Well I solved my problem.
What still doesn't make sense though is that dragging iTune audio files directly on to the iTunes application icon gave me the error message... which is why I originally discounted it as being a potential link problem. If I had been able to get files to open normally (i.e. without an error message) I would have known it was a simple link problem. Strange.
Anyway... relinking my folder of audio files did the trick.
If you don't already know how here are the steps...
iTunes > Preferences > Advanced > click on the "Change" button and browse to the folder that contains all of your iTunes audio files... that's it.

Firefox freezes when trying to upload or download a file. (Antivirus all disabled doesn't help). IE works fine. Happened with v3 and v4. Any clues?

Firefox locks when trying to upload or download any file, size irrelevant.
I've disabled firewall and all antivirus apps to no effect.
This happens with v3 and v4.
IE works fine.

'''Addendum:''' The freeze is also happening at random even without opening Firefox, it has a chance of happening when I click something. My computer has frozen when I: 1- clicked the "reveal desktop" button to minimize all windows; 2- Attempted to close a tab in Chrome; 3- Clicked "play" in a Youtube video that had been loaded and waiting for some time). It will also almost always freeze when I leave it idle for more than about 10 minutes.
But it will '''guaranteedly''' freeze when trying to open FF, which doesn't happen with any other program.
I think my computer is breaking down. :(

Upgraded to 10.5 on windows 7. now itunes freezes when trying to download old apps. any solutions?

10.5 upgrade erased apps & books from ipad. itunes freezes when trying to download from windows 7 computer. Any suggestions?

I am using Window Vista 32bit and have the same problem. After trying uninstall, reinstall, ccclean registry, over and over again and still cannot install itune 10.5. And finally concluded that this might be a registry corruption problem. The following steps is what I did to fix the registry isssue and get my itune 10.5 installed.
- Run Window update - and check the history file, if you see some failures in previous updates, there is something wrong with the registry.
- un-install all the apple related software (itune, safari, boujour, apple update, etc).
- For Vista 32bit, go to the following link and run the script to clean up the registry. I am not sure if other WIndow OS will work or not.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Windows-Update-Error-8000FFFF
- run the Fix-it script. you have to select the Agressive mode (even thou the pop up window advise not to do this) in order to clean up the registry. When I try without checking the box, and it did not fix the problem.
- reboot PC
- Run window update. It will discover a lot of old updates that need to be installed (I suspect that the fix it script delete a lot of stuff in the registry and removed previous updates). I got 53 updates that need to install.
- run the update and wait for a longtime (mine took ~2 hours).
- reboot PC
- run cccleaner
- reboot PC
- install itune 10.5
Now it works. Hopefully other window OS has similar step to fix this. I can only say it works for me using window Vista 32bit. and so far, my PC works correctly.

Need advise, I have purchased compressor 4.1 to compress my movie file, particularly MKV files. Problem is, that the software freezes when trying to import the 10GB MKV. Any one that can help?

Afraid Compressor won't work with MKV. If you have access to a system running an earlier version than Mavericks, and with Perian installed you can use MPEG Streamclip or Quick Time Pro to convert to a mov.

Preview freezes when trying to open images - other programs have no trouble

Preview freezes when trying to open images - other programs have no trouble with the same file. This problem is somewhat intermittent.
I have replaced the Preview application by moving a copy from another equivalent machine - no luck.
Did not find any preferences file trash, though I looked.
Is there one?
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Edwin,
The .plist for Preview should be located @ ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.plist (where "~" is your Home folder).
Trash the file, logout/login or reboot your computer and try opening the app and opening the offending file again.
Let us know if any luck with finding the .plist there and opening your file?

Right. If you are using delegated privs and sudo, make sure that sudo is configured to pass on the PERL5LIB and ORACLE_HOME environment variables at least.
