TextEdit, Calca, Numbers photos syncing stop to work

Hello,
Since Mavericks have been having some obscure, difficult to formulate problem. In the nutshell, some programs (TextEdit, Calca to name the few) cease to work under unknown circumstances (nothing magical, I just missed the moment when it happens).
A couple of times photos synchronization (with iOS devices using iTunes) stopped to work. Synchronizing them took so much time that I never had patience to wait till it ends (waited an hour or more). Guess it somehow may be connected to the former problem.
I have the strong inkling that it happens after some new app is installed. When I installed Team Viewer a month ago or so the photo sync stopped to work also. After rebooting everything returned to normal.
Week ago installed Aquamacs, sync wasn't affected, however TextEdit was.
After restarting the system everything returns to normal.
How TextEdit doesn't work (the same applies to other programs):
Icon of the App jumps for a while. Menu of the App appears. No windows of TextEdit, menu irresponsive. Terminating only by 'Force Quit'. See no relevant records in the log (Console). If the records in log somehow connected to the TextEdit, the relation is too distant for me to recognize it.
Checked the disk with Disk Utility, nothing serious,
     "The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK.",
some messages of permissions like
     "Permissions differ on “Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Resources/Safari.help/Contents/Resources/"
Googling and analyzing for some months. Many quite contradicting suggestions, like reinstalling the OS or just checking the /Library permissions. None of them looked to me very reliable to rush doing it specially killing the OS.
Seems the bug (?) affects the app which uses iCloud.
Presently:
Mac OS X 10.9.2
MacBook Pro 13'
Careful usage, no suspicious software, mainly Apple made, except few like Aquamacs, VLC, TextMate, etc.
TextEdit Version 1.9 (310)

One by one or a few at a time the permssions conflicts may not matter.  Mine were quite large in number having accumulated over 4 OSX upgrades.  There was also a problem with  a "pointers / blocks" reference.
In my case the situtation led to a condition that manifest itself as if it were running out of disk space in a partition while Get-Info reported there was plenty of space unused.  In adition some of the apps became quite slow and displayed erratically.
There may have been some other aspect as when the "Genius Bar" guy booted up my MBP with his network version of Mavericks he then ran a special version of Dick Utility that "fixed" the disk in about 1/2 hour wall clock.
I'm glad I live close to an Apple store.

  • IPhone photo sync doesn't work.

    Since the last iOS update the photo sync in iTunes doesn't work. One event will be shown as many in iTunes, each with only a few photos or even just one in it. In iPhoto all events are ok.
    Any suggestion why and how to solve it?

  • ICloud photo sync stops after 30% of my collection (30000 pics)

    With the latest update of Yosemite I finally switched to Foto iso iPhoto.
    I switched on the iCloud option and  expanded my storage to 200gig.
    I have a collection of 30000 pics (yeah, I need to clean up )
    It started syncing ok (although slow) but now it completely stopped at 10400 pics).
    New pics taken by the iPhone end up in iCloud (I see them fine on the iPad or AppleTV) but don't sync with Foto (of Photo).
    Advice anyone?

    I have the same problem, my library has 52000 photos, but stopped uploading to iCloud with 37384 pictures to go... very annoying!
    Is a way to "reset" Photos so it starts uploading again?
    I have plenty of free iCloud storage left, so that isn't the problem.
    BTW, Photos (agent) has been using all my computer's resources for three days now, I find it very that irritating Photos has no user control about its large memory, disk space and CPU usage... If it keeps doing it I will have to stop using it and switch to other photo management software that lets me decide what I want to do with my computer

  • Photo sync doesn't work.

    Hi, I'm using iPhone 4S iOS 5.0.1 and Windows7 computer.
    I took a trip somewhere, took picture (JPG files) with digital camera (Canon DIGITAL IXUS 110 IS) , and I want to send photos to my iPhone.
    But It doesn't work. And no error codes. Just iPhone says some photos cannot be synced.
    When I start syncing, syncing speed getting slower and iTunes stops syncing photos at some points. For example, it stops syncing after sync 51 photos. sometimes 40, 60...
    But I want to sync many many many photos. over 1000 photos
    I looked over this site and deleted iPod Photo Cache folder, but it doesn't solve my problem.
    I looked in iPod Photo Cache folder and I found .ithmb files are almost 0byte, except 51 .ithmb files if iTunes synced 51 photos successfully.
    So, I think there is something wrong at iTunes makes .ithmb files.
    PLEASE HELP ME!
    P.S. I also have changed directory, but it also didn't solve my problem.

    It seems to be size related as far as I can tell; I've had no issue getting 2592x1944 pictures (typically around or under 2Mb each) to sync but photos from a newer camera shot at 5184x3456 (usually around 5-6 Mb) won't. I was going to play around with resizing some of my library but haven't gotten around to it yet.

  • IPhone Photo Sync No Longer Works Since Upgrading to Aperture 3

    I updated Aperture to 3 and now for some reason I am unable to sync my albums with neither my iPhone or my AppleTv. I get a, "your iphone can not be synced. An unknown error has occurred (-50)".
    I used to be able to pick and choose which projects and albums would sync to both of these devices, it is no longer giving me that option. The two choices when you choose aperture in the iTunes drop down are "All Photos and Albums" or "Selected Albums" however "Selected Albums" is greyed out.
    What is going on?

    I too have problems syncing with my iPhone since updating to Aperture 3 and subsequently 3.0.1. The problem clearly is with Aperture as I cannot access the Aperture library from iPhoto either. The ability to select individual projects or albums is greyed out and a full sync of the entire library results in an error -50.in iTunes. I have lodged 2 bug reports from both iTunes and Aperture but no word from Apple. *+Come on Apple.+* this make Aperture look really bad. I have resorted to syncing from iPhoto, a real step backwards but as Apple don't think it important enough to respond to their customers what recourse is left. I know! a well placed email to the media alerting them to the fact that Apples new version of Aperture is flawed.

  • ITunes/Photoshop Elements Photo Sync Fails After PSE Upgrade

    After upgrading from Photoshop Elements version 9 to version 13, the iTunes "Sync Photos from Photoshop Elements" feature no longer works.
    iTunes continues to show the albums from version 9, and photo syncing any of the albums causes iTunes to fail into an un-ending loop without an error message. Photo syncing from other folders works fine.  I temporarily re-installed Elements 9 and iTunes photo sync began to work, but using the old version 9 photo catalog.
    Is there a fix that will get iTunes to sync with Elements 13 photo albums? Are there files or registry entries that need to be re-pointed to the Elements 13 photo catalog?
    I'm running Windows 7 with SP1 and iTunes 12.0.1.26 on a very capable HP PC.
    All help appreciated.
    Thanks ... Tom

    While I haven't heard a solution to posts I've made to both Adobe and iTunes sites, I have found a manual workaround.
    The catalog files that iTunes uses are of the format "catalog.pseXdb". 
    In my case, the new catalog is "catalog.pse13db" and the old is "catalog.pse9db". These files are found in catalog folders like: C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\Elements 9 Catalog
    With iTunes and PSE closed,
    1) copy the catalog.pse13db file to the "Elements 9 Catalog folder. 
    2) rename the old catalog.pse9db file to keep it and deactivate it
    3) rename catalog.pse13db to catalog.pse9db
    iTunes will continue to use the older catalog file, but it now has new catalog contents.  The manual part is that this will need to be done prior to each time you want to sync new catalog content to your devices.
    Somewhere around PSE version 7, the catalog file format changed, so this technique may not work for upgrades from about v7 upward.

  • ICloud shared photo stream stopped working with new photo app

    iCloud shared photo stream stopped working since the last OX update with the new photo app.  I don't have access anymore to the sharing albums, even those that I own

    iCloud shared photo stream stopped working since the last OX update with the new photo app.  I don't have access anymore to the sharing albums, even those that I own
    Don't the albums show at all?
    Are you signed in  with the same Apple ID that you used with iCloud before?  And are you currently browsing the System Photos Library? Only one Photos library, enabled as the System Photos library can sync with iCloud.
    For me it helped to disable iCloud Photo sharing in the System Preferences > iCloud > Photos > Options
    and in the Photos. app Preferences < iCloud.
    Then restart the Mac and enable the same Preferences again.
    And wait.
    The Shared albums came slowly back and were all back after one day.

  • Why did my Photo Stream stop syncing properly [yet again] from my iPhone to my PC?

    I (and apparently many other users) are losing the proper connection of our Photo Stream between our iPhone and our PC. I have an iPhone 5s (using iOS 8.1.3), with which I have successfully synced Photo Stream to my PC (using Windows 7) many times. Photo Stream seems to work fine within the iPhone, but every few months or so, the Photo Stream folder on my PC stops populating the photos from my Apple device's Photo Stream. So, every few months, I end up searching the Apple Support Community for clear instructions, then end up calling Apple tech support. And in no particular order, I end up going through the typical steps of signing out and signing back into iCloud, rebooting respective devices(first device "A", then device "B", then vice versa), uninstalling and reinstalling the latest version of iCloud, etc., etc.  Eventually, after following multiple, separate instructions taking a few hours over the course of a couple of days, the issue is corrected for a few months. Is there a resource that exists that documents one [dare I say 'foolproof'] sequence of steps that will correct this reoccurring problem in a more deliberate way? Many thanks for the assistance!

  • LR Mobile 5.6 Desktop: Up sync from DL desktop on Mac to Adobe Photo Cloud does not work, down sync from Cloud to DL desktop works

    I have successfully used DL Mobile for some months (currently: some 3+k photos in Adobe's Photo Cloud, in 56 collections).
    Some two weeks ago sync on DL desktop went erratic, i.e. sync attempts were always active according to the spinning wheel in the UI, but no sync happened. Right now this has changed to a status of no sync indication on Mac DL desktop whatsoever (no spinning wheel). No upward sync of changes from DL Mac to the Adobe Photo Cloud is happening.
    BUT: Up-sync to the Adobe Photo Cloud from iPad works: For example, change results can be seen immediately via browser in Adobe's Cloud collection library. AND, strange enough: the changes from iPad via Cloud are synced down to DL desktop on the Mac as well (without any sync indicator visible on DL desktop though).
    What can I do to get back to full functioning?
    Ludwig

    Could you please send me a LR Desktop diagnostig log  - best as a private message with a downloadable dropbox link.
    You can trigger the log via LR Desktop preferences -> Lightroom Mobile and when you hold down the alt key you will notice a generate diagnostic log button
    Thanks,

  • After updating to iOS 5, the Photo album stopped working.

    After updating to iOS v5, my iphone 4S's built-in Photo app stopped working.
    The Camera takes a photo, but the photo disappears from the camera roll and shows no photos in the photoalbum.
    My iPhone used to take photos so, I don't believe it is a hardware issue.
    Is anyone having the same problem?
    Would there be a update of the v5 to solve this issue?

    I figured it out.
    In my case, I just needed to restore my phone to the factory setting.
    My iphone = iphone 4 running iOS v5
    My computer = iMac
    Software didn't work = preinstalled "Photos" app
    Symptoms = after I take a photo, the image thumbnail of the camera roll shows the image, but images are found neither in the camera roll nor in the albums of the "Photos".
    Solution procedure:
    connect the iphone to iMac
    in the Summary window of the devices, click "Restore"
    choose not to save the backup file
    choose to restore the iphone as a "NEW" device instead of choosing a backup files*
    follow the rest of instructions.
    It helped and now I can view my photos in the photo album.
    * However, I accidentary re-restored it with a saved backup file and the "Photos" application stopped working again. I repeated the resotre procedure avoiding the accidental restoration to a backup file.
    The camera and the photos were working before iOS v5 update, and it is now working again. So, it is obviously not the hardware issue. It seems that iOS v5 and the Photos are having compatibility issue Apple should look into this issue.

  • Pse 12 photo mail stopped working

    My PSE 12 photo mail  has been working up till now.  It has stopped working a few days ago.  How can it be fixed?

    Hi,
    Are you using Photo Mail rather than Email Attachments?
    If you are using Photo Mail, I assume that you aren't now seeing the Stationary and Layout windows.
    What you are describing is similar to the permissions problem which occurred in PSE 12 - it is strange that it should come back.
    Is your user an administrator?
    Close the organizer and find the following file using windows explorer [omit the (x86) part if on a 32bit version of windows 7]
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
    The file size should be about 39,405 Kb
    Right click on it and select Run as Administrator (even if you are an administrator)
    That should launch the organizer so try the Photo Mail again.

  • Creative cloud sync - Stops working until update.

    I am about the closest thing to an IT administrator we have at a  small newspaper that has recently transitioned to Creative Cloud for our production and file sync. While much of our experience has been good we have had some weird problems that make it fairly hard to rely on the file syncing feature of CC. Primarily, recently adobe issued an update to Creative Cloud (Which they do a lot!) that required us to update before it would work again. The notification for this update came in as an icon blip in the menu bar on our mac systems and the system tray (which hides most icons) on the Windows system. As a result only one of our artist updated right away, and the rest ignored/didn't see it. The problem was file syncing stopped working until the clients updated. The end result was that people's artwork wasn't syncing and about a whole days worth of work was delayed until someone figured out that things were breaking and alerted me. So my complaint/suggestion is this:
    If you issue an update:
    Allow the old versions to keep working until the update is installed.
    If the update is important enough to require updating, notify at least the CC Team Administrators in an obvious way (email is a great way, since you already don't mind emailing us about other stuff)
    Also why you are at it if you could ad a "Sync Now" button that would be appreciated.
    It is a little frustrating to be chewed out over something  that you were not aware of over the weekend. Especially since CC is marketed as the backbone of the Adobe system. I know that many of our artist should have paid attention to the icons, but their job is to design their work and get on with it not to be system administrators. They can't all be verifying updates and checking if CC is working all the time. Especially since a traditional server set up wouldn't have this issue (though the cost of setting it up is obnoxious).
    To the community: Have any of you experienced and issue like this before? If so how is the best way to solve this issue in the future. Do I just need to insist that everyone always checks for updates? The problem is compounded by the fact that I am part-time/freelance and thus can't babysit many of our artist.

    You have to provide system info and other details like what program(s) you actually mean. There are no technical reasons that should affect the apps just by disconnecting your computer...
