SPD 2013 WorkFlow starts in visual mode and crashes when publishing or switching views

When editing a Workflow in SPD 2013, the WF forces the WF to open in visual mode and I am unable to publish or change the view without crashing SPD. When any action is taken on this
workflow a progress bar flashes and "Exporting Workflow" is displayed -- this process either crashes SPD or locks the computer.
I have completed the following
without success:
uninstalled & reinstalled SPD and Visio (32 bit),
cleared caches,
uninstalled and reinstalled SPD and Visio to 64 bit,
installed all updates
Any guidance is much appreciated.

Hi,
Could you test the issue on another machine with both Visio and Designer installed?
Does the issue occur to all workflows?
I find similar issue for your reference:

Please test if updates matters in your situation.

SPD 2013 Workflow - Create list item with people picker in other site collection

Hi all,
I read a lot of blogs and forum posts the last couple of days, but I seem to be stuck as to why my workflow is not working as expected - thus, I thought I would ask the experts :-)
Setup:
2 lists in 2 different site collections
http://svr-url/servicedesk/tickets
http://svr-url/projects/requests
SharePoint 2013 on Prem
I try to create a SPD 2013 workflow that creates a new item in list "requests" once a certain trigger is set in list "tickets". One of the fields I need to copy is the requestor = People picker field.
I did a web service call with a REST call to create a list item. All works well as long as I just stick to Title and other text fields, but filling in the "Requestor" fails with "Bad request".
I learned I need to use the "RequestorID" field and in a blog I read I need to put in the user id as Int32. So I set the parameters in the dictionary to integer. Still I get "bad request".
Another issue: as I have lists from 2 site collections, the user id differs for the same user.
/servicedesk: ID = 9
/projects: ID = 22
Additionally, the possibility exists that the user I try to set is not already existent in the /projects user information list.
How can I deal with that?

Not enough free storage space can slow your Mac down. Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage. Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
Anti virus software, as well as third party Mac cleaning utilities such as MacKeeper and CleanMyMac can also slow your Mac down.
Check to see if the startup disk needs repairing.
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utillities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If DU reports errors, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you should be able to access the built in utilities in OS X Recovery to repair the startup disk.
Make sure to back up all important data first before using OS X Recovery.

Visual Studio 2005 crashes when referencing ALI 6.5 portal server API

Visual Studio 2005 crashes when referencing ALI 6.5 portal server API
We are building new portlets in .NET 2.0 to that access the ALI 6.5 server API and are experienceing the folowing scenario:
I create a brand new project in Visual Studio (2005 with SP1 on Win2k3 R2 SP2) using the ALI Portal Project template that is provided with the application accelerator 1.1. This portlet will need to perform portal server searches so I begin by adding references to the following assemblies from C:\bea\alui\ptportal\6.5\bin\assemblies:
openconfig.dll
opencounters.dll
opencache.dll
openhttp.dll
openssl.dll
opentempfile.dll
plumtreeserver.dll
ptportalobjects.dll
I then type in something like below to start up the portal server objects.
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
IOKContext context = OKConfigFactory.createInstance("C:\\bea\\alui\\settings\\", "portal");
PortalObjectsFactory.Init(context);
this.Response.Write("Portal Objects Initiallized");
Some moments later Visual Studio will crash. It has happened before I have entered any code, after I have started typing code and on builds. It seems intermittent but usually occurs within a minute of interacting with this Visual Studio project. I actually managed to build once and have had success accessing this page in Explorer to validate the portal server objects are getting initialized and referenced correctly.
I thought this was a problem with my personal development environment. So I tried this on other machines: another Win2k3 ALI 6.5 dev portal server and another server with Visual Studio 2005 that I installed the 6.5 portal on just for testing this. The exact behavior listed above is occurring on three development machines here (crashing devenv.exe when portal references are made or loading a project with portal references). Since this does not seem to be isolated to a single development machine, is there any course of action that anyone would suggest to help solve this?
thanks,
Troy Rackley

It turns out that this is only a problem with Visual Studio using the ALI templates or creating any projects using the "New... Web site" functionality of 2005. I was a ble to create a C#... ASP.net Web Application project and add the references to the idk and the local portal server APIs manually without devenv.exe crashes.
So, the work around I have found if your projects needs to access both the portal server API and the remote API is to create the project with:
New... Project... Visual C#... ASP.NET Web Application
and NOT
New... Web Site... ASP.NET Web Site (or ALI Portlet Project)
Anyone know why this is the case?
Thanks.

DW 8 locks up and crashes when I try to do anything

DW 8 locks up and crashes when I try to do anything to a
file. This started 2 days ago.
When I open a file, and I try to merge table rows, or change
the CSS of some text, or anything, DW 8 locks up and is "not
responding".
How do I fix this?

Might have to do with the time change.
There is a document on Adobe that goes over what you have to
do, and it's
something do with removing a file, but I don't remember
which.

I also happens when I try to export movies with Motion 5.
Does anyone have the same problem with my new iMac?

Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
First, empty the Trash.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it, then drag or copy it — do not type — into the Terminal window:
find . $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 -o -acl $ 2> /dev/null | wc -l
Press return. The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
The output of this command, on a line directly below what you entered, will be a number such as "35." Please post it in a reply.

Buttons moving 1 pixel down and right (and cropping) when publishing.

Hi
Does anyone know why my Buttons are moving 1 pixel down and right when publishing?
The right and bottom edge are cropped, and as they're round buttons it's really obvious.
It happens with the default buttons as well. Mac and PC. Version 5.5 and 6.
It must be some simple setting in the project, as I can't believe it happens to everyone, but I can't find it.
Thanks

More than likely somehow 'Zoom' got turned on.
To disable Zoom, open System Preferences->Universal Access preference pane and disable Zoom.

Lightroom 5.4 reaches 10% and crashes when exporting a slideshow video.

Lightroom 5.4 reaches 10% and crashes when exporting a slideshow video every time. I have Abobe Premiere elements 10, which works fine for creating a slideshow. Could there be a conflict? Any suggestions most welcome as this problem is driving me bom-boms.

Thanks so much ... just tried it and it worked perfectly. I just used a small external drive to transfer them, and ticked the option to 'copy and import photos to new location', so not only the catalogue, but also the photos themselves are on my iMac. Very simple. Thanks.

Save conflict while trying to save or publish a SPD 2013 workflow (SP 2013 version)

Hi all, I have a problem while trying to develop a SharePoint 2013 workflow. I'm able to create a new workflow for a list (to save it) and I can confirm that it can run. Unfortunatelly, when I try to modify It (either just after creation or when opening
it later) I get an error while saving or publishing:
Errors were found when compiling the workflow. The workflow files were not saved.
Save conflict
Your changes conflict with those made concurrently by another user. If you want your changes to be applied, click Back in your Web browser, refresh the page, and resubmit your changes.
ULS doesn't show anything helpful but the same message with lots of stack trace pointing to a file save conflict.
Today, by accident I discovered that the workflow could be saved after it was open in SPD for nigth so I expect there may be some time lockout like when you access a document in a library from another domain (hope it's only 30 minutes).
I tried to re register the workflow service and even reinstalling and reconfiguring the workflow manager. This problem was present without the service bus and workflow CU, but now I have them installed as well.
Any suggestions?
Update:
I managed to publish the workflow after performing following steps:
1. Open the workflow and make modifications (save conflict occurs when trying to publish)
2. Reset IIS
3. Publish workflow (the workflow is saved successfuly)

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you got “save conflict” error while trying to save or publish a SharePoint Designer 2013 workflow.
Please check whether the Central Admin > Manage Service Application-> “App Management Service” is started.
Please check whether the “Configure service application associations”, ”App Management Service” is already associated.
Then please check whether the “Manage Services on server” and the “App Management Service” is started.
If all the service are started, add executionTimeout property in web.config file to increase the timeout interval(Make a copy of the web.config file before editing anything).
For more information, please refer to this site:Fixed: SharePoint Designer Error - Unexpected error on server associating the workflow
In addition, if you develop a too complex workflow and try to compile it in SharePoint Designer then you might get the error if your workflow exceeds the complexity limit. To fix the error you will have to redesign and break them into multiple workflows
to achieve the business functionality.
