'Serious Error' and Auto-Save failure

I have several times encountered the 'Serious Error' dialogue, mostly immediately after attempting to insert an audio transition (crossfade) between two simple audio clips.
I have unsuccessfully attempted to research and fix the issue, so instead I have increased my auto-save frequency to every 5 minutes.
I had been working on a project for two hours or so before a serious error popped up. Auto-save dialogues popped up every few minutes. I restarted the program and found that the project had reverted to a state several hours old. Why is this?

I can't explain the cause, but I can suggest a fix.

Titler has serious error and shuts down program

I have been using the titler in Premier CS3 and every time I try to make a font change the program says that there is a serious error and must shut down the program. I have never lost any information since the program has been able to recover from the error and save the data. It is a pain since I can't change the font. Does anyone have any ideas how to remedy this.
I have looked on the Adobe site for answers but the site is a nightmare of never ending loops when trying to report a problem.

I have not heard of any nVidia drivers causing problems with fonts, though there were several driver versions, about a year ago, where some gamer-only functions did not work in Adobe programs.
Now, with Titler, this ARTICLE might be helpful.
Good luck,
Hunt

Photoshop CS2 has serious error and needs to be reinstalled * 3

Hello,
I am running photoshop CS2 at work and had it open very slowly this morning (3minutes) and then give me an error message - Photoshop has encountered a serious error and needs to restart. I did this 3 times and it still is not working. I did a full uninstall each time, trashed prefferences, repaired permissions and restared but with no luck. Capture One is not opening either, but one step at a time here.
Anyone have any suggestions?

A little more info:
This seems particularly likely to happen when I open a sequence on the timeline that has more than 5 audio tracks.

Try using one of these video players. VLC usually works with most files.

HI,
In Message Menu > Preference > Accounts you should at least have the iMessage Account (Which is Enabled) and th Bonjour one that most likely is not.
After that if you had iChat type AIM valid Screen Names or Jabber IDs in an earlier OS then the System Preferences > Mail, Contacts and Calendars should list them and have them set to be used with Messages.
There is a vague chance that you have not set these up yet (you can do it in Messages or Mail, Contacts and Calendars)
Once you have a t least one other "Account" other than th iMessage one in Messages then the Buddy List option will appear next to CMD and 1 in the Window menu list.
NEXT
If you go to the General Section of the Messages Preferences you can unlink several Buddy lists if you have them (By default they are shown as one gathered Buddy list)
I Have several Accounts logged in (AIM valid and Jabber ones)

And I separate them in to individual lists which then gives me this in the Window Menu

I opened up my photoshop (circa 2004) and got a message that it has expired (or somthing to that efffect). This is CS2. I have the hardcopy. Upon closing it and reopening it I got a message that there was "serious error" and I needed to reinstall. Upon reinstalling with my hard copy I got the same error message. Any thoughts? Are all former versions of the creative suite disabled to promote use of "the cloud version"?

This Adobe document should help to explain the situation for CS2:

Does anyone know if versions and auto save work with microsoft office 08 in Lion? thanks

does anyone know if version and auto save work on office 08 with lion?

No, they don't.
Autosave and Versions are specific technologies that the developer must enable in their programs. It is not handled purely by the OS.
I don't know how difficult it would be to implement, but I doubt they would update 2008 to use them. Maybe 2011.

The Versions and Auto Save functions do they work with Office 2011?

I recently installed LION on my Apple Pro. However the VERSIONS and AUTO SAVE functions do not seem to work with OFFICE 2011 Word and Excel. Does anyone know why?

Waiting for Microsoft to update them

Versions and Auto-save

I am a very new user to macbook. I purchased this for academic study and the "versions" and "auto save" functions sound just what I want. But I have no clue about how to "turn this on" and see the old saved versions of my documents. Any advice or help would be great

Plenty of discussions about this - see under "More like this" on the right.
Basically it's always on (you can't turn it off) *BUT* you have to have applications that specifically support this (i.e. TextEdit, Pages & Numbers).
MS Office 2011 doesn;t yet support it (MS says it will later), 2008 probably never will

Shawn

PPT has found an error and cannot save the file in Microsoft Powerpoint2010

I have been working in 2010 for 6 months and this is the 3rd time I have experienced this error. I am using my own 2010- created, macro-enabled template - I want to save the file but I get an error message stating PPT
has found an error and cannot save the file.
This has happened on both newly created files using this template, and files previously successfully saved. The template has been used without error many, many times.
I have on occassion been able to save as a 97-2003 file and then resave (with some loss of function) as a 2010 macro-enabled file, on another occassion I was not able to do this and lost some work.
Copying into a new document didn't solve the problem. Copying into a different template didn't solve the problem.
Any ideas what is happening, and how I can stop it happening?
Kind regards

Hi,
Have you tried saving the file in *.pptm format (basically this extension is for powerpoint presentation with macros)
Maybe try Save As and see if you can save it under a different name.
Once you get the file closed, then reopen PPT and go to Office Button | PPT Options | Resources. Run Office Diagnostics there.
In addition, make sure you have a local printer driver installed and set as the default printer. And it really might fix the issue.
Here's info on what to do:http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00952.htm

Can I convert 100 Tiffs to PDF and auto save them simultaneously?

Can I convert 100 Tiffs to PDF and auto save them simultaneously? I prefer to not have to use "Save As" for every single one.
Thank you for your time.

FURIOUS! Warning: Undo Bug and Auto-Save Bug

So I'm pretty ticked off right now. I generally liked FCPX and its changes contrary to many others' opinions, but I just came across a bug that ultimately was worse than I thought.
During my editing process, at some point I was unable to undo changes. It was greyed out in the toolbar, and Command+Z wasn't working. It was annoying, but I didn't think much of it or bother to restart FCPX because I was in the zone and didn't want to stop. Eventually, I decided to restart FCPX to see if I could fix the bug with a lull in my edits. It closed out as normal.
When I re-opened FCPX, I found out that my project was at an EARLIER state. From what I can guess, when the undo bug happened. So, during that period of time, NOTHING was being saved. Since you CANNOT auto-save (I know you can duplicate a project, but Im not interested in that, I just want to save a copy manually), there is no way I can recover my edits. I lost about an hour or so worth of edits. Since FCPX doesn't support "versions" yet either, there is no way I can retrieve it.
I do not know if this is a bug due to 10.7, nor do I really care. I sent a bug report because this needs to get fixed. I consider you do the same but AT THE VERY LEAST, be mindful of this bug. If you suddenly can't start undoing, either STOP IMMEDIATELY or duplicate your project (maybe that would work). I'd hate to have someone else go through this problem too.
Sorry if this message is written poorly, like I said, I'm pretty ****** that this key function (Apple's ONLY way to save) failed.

Thanks guys for the tips. Unfortunately though stuck, I don't know if the finder trick will work. Remember, I never really had the file LOST, the changes were simply not writing to the actual .fcp file. So if I copied it in Finder, I think it would just copy the .fcp file which is currently not getting saved to anyway. Maybe duplicating the project in FCPX would work, but again I think that just takes the .fcp file and duplicates it. If it's not writing to it, then its a moot point. Oh well.
As with anything that frustrates anyone, I've cooled off haha, and doing the re-edits actually seemed to turn out easier and better then second time (you know, as theu naturally are I suppose haha). Obviously all sorts of problems happen with technology, its just a shame that its a bug that revolves around the ONLY save feature haha.
HOWEVER. I think I have replicated the problem, and MIGHT know the source of it. Or at least one. If someone wants to try this and confirm this? I'm running OSX 10.7 and FCPX 10.0 (obviously), however I encourage someone with 10.6 to try it too.
I noticed the "undo bug" (and thus the auto-save bug) happens when I took one of the "fader handles" (I don't know the actual name, but its the little marker-like icon found at the start and end of audio tracks, which when dragged, let you easily make a fade in or out. If you take a fader-handle, an drag it ALL the way BEYOND the length of the clip, it should get stuck. Youll notice you cant easily make a change to it again, and you can't undo it. I think this is what causes the problem, as I think this happened twice to me.
If this is it, I hope I can find a way to flag this for Apple so it can get fixed! At the very least we can be concious of it.

Premiere CC 2014 - "serious error and needs to shut down" - fix?

After a few days of successful editing, I am now constantly encountering this error message: "a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down."
I am using a 2013 MacBook Pro. I have seen this concern raised on other threads, but they seem to be addressed to Windows users.
Please help!
Best,
David Ketterer
