V2.2 Graduated filter-not responding-quit
The error report message in the Event manager is:
The application, C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2\lightroom.exe, generated an application error The error occurred on 12/16/2008 @ 10:59:59.140 The exception generated was c0000005 at address 0000000180004C49 (ui!AgWinFont::GetFontSize)
Faulting application lighroom.ex v 2.1.02. faulting module ui.dll version 3.1.02 addres 0x0000000000004c49
Fault bucket 03087739
Is this to be interpreted that there is a font that is corrupt?
What does pulling up a graduated filter have to do with font size?
Starting v2.2 up again and the image has whatever adjustments previous to the filter. Apply the filter in the same manner and it does what is expected.
This has happened twice today.

I filed a bug report.
Did a search on the ui.dll and there are several instances of this error-Lightroom past versions and other softwares.
Microsoft says in their articles that:
Port monitor user interface dll contains ui functionality and executes on print client systems. Must reside in System32 directory.
The above statement might not apply to a 64 Os system.
The sole ui.dll on my HD is in the Lightroom folder (3,292Kb dated 11/24/2008 v2.2(523352)com.adobe.ag.ui. All other ui type dll's have additional letters preceding the ui.
This computer is now 2 months old and I haven't got round to installing a printer and its drivers. I don't think that is the issue.
The AVG scanner went into operation as soon as this lock-up occurred on both occassions. Shutting the computer down was the only way to remove that icon reporting that a scan was in place. Right click- Scanning the ui.dll reported nothing. I have put the Lightroom cataloque subfiles on the exception list of the AVG scanner.
Overall, its not a big deal for all was not lost with the image in question. It was just a comeuppance with the fresh install of 2.2 since version 2.1 was doing just fine installed on a new machine therefore no other versions etc. involved.

LR5 Graduated filters not applied to final image
I have recently had an issue using the graduated filters in the LR5 develop module. While in the develop module (working with a raw image (panasonic GH3)), I can apply and use graduated filters without issue, but when I switch to the library module or export the image , the changes disappear. I have shot a few test shots since and worked with some old images and I cannot reproduce this issue. I have the same problem with every image from a single import. There have been no changes in settings on the camera or in Lightroom. I did use a new memory card, but I doubt that the card is the issue. Attached is a screen shot of the image while in the develop module (right) and library module (left). Anyone have ideas on how to fix this problem or avoid it in the future.
This is probably actually not the graduated filter not working, but the preview in Develop not being reliable when zoomed out. I've run into this with my own star images. This often comes up in images such as this with lots of fine structure. The noise reduction is not shown reliably in Develop when zoomed out. Then when you switch to Develop, it creates a good preview image that does have noise reduction enabled and suddenly your images appear different and less punchy especially when you have lots of little star points. It is actually more representative in these conditions. Make sure you zoom into 1:1 to really judge what is happening. At 1:1 the preview is correct in Develop when you have lots of fine detail. You probably have a graduated filter with clarity here? That is notorious for not previewing correctly with such images in Develop. To test whether the filter actually takes, do something extreme such as a few stops of exposure or so.

Photoshop failed to quit and is not responding
I've had a nasty problem for the past few days that seems to be getting gradually worse. ie it now happens within a few minutes of openning Photoshop, whereas before it was happenning after an hour or two of working on an image....
At some point while working on a moderately complex .psd (roughly 70mb with some 15 layers) Photoshop hangs and Force Quit Applications tells me that Photoshop is not responding. I can't identify anything particular that i'm doing that triggers it.... i use a fairly wide variety of tools and filters and the hang doesn't seem to be triggered by anything specific.
I force Photoshop to quit, and it disappears from the Force Quit Application list. However, after quitting, I cannot open .psd or .jpg files from Bridge or from Finder. Raw files open up ok from Bridge into Camera Raw. And, when I try to shut down or restart my machine i get: " Logout has timed out - The application Photoshop failed to quit and is not responding." so the only way to restart is to force a shut down with the power button. After restarting the Mac Photoshop works ok again for a a while and then the problem happens again.
I have repaired my disk permissions and run Diskwarrior over both my Mac HD ad the external Firewire drive where all my images live - which didn't identify anything out or the ordinary.
Any thoughts on what else I can do to eliminate this problem would be v gratefully received
I am working on a Dual-Core Intel MacPro with 9GB memory, running OS 10.4.11 and Photoshop CS3 10.0.1 and Bridge CS3 2.1.1.9Neil, just for reference the Cron script problem was fixed in 10.4.2 and should be run on boot if they haven't already. This doesn't mean that running cocktail occasionally to make sure doesn't have value or to run the maintance scripts early doesn't help (it wont hurt).

The 3 Gb limitation is a limitation of 32bit operating systems and software. Photoshop can't address (use) more than 3Gb regardless of how much you have free or installed. OSX 10.4 is kind of 64bit but not completly, it has the ability to remap memory so EACH program can use a max of 3Gb. so in your case with 5ish Gb used PS is using 3Gb, Safari is using a bit and the OS is prob using most of the rest.
Looking at what you posted the only two figures your really interested in is the Used and Free (which add up to approx 9Gb). The fact that the used number doesn't change from the several files open and the liquify filter opening indicates to me that it has already grabbed as much memory as it can( it's using 3Gb of the 5.52, the rest is the OS etc).
Simply put PS IS running out of memory. You can help this by putting the memory allocation in the PS preferences higher (the OS will use other areas of memory so it wont cause a problem) and make sure the scratch disk is set to a drive with plenty of space. But keep in mind the Liquify filter is VERY memory intensive so you may not be able to use it with lots of files open.

Brand new Lenovo computer, Windows 7 Home. New install of Firefox 6.0.1, set as default browser, don't launch when I click done. Icon appears in tray. I click the icon, and a message says "firefox is running but not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing process, or reboot". It's not obviously running. I can't find a way to make it quit. Task manager doesn't list it as a current application. Uninstall using the control panel uninstall function and then reinstalling gives the same message. Rebooting doesn't fix the problem and gives the same message. Firefox had been working until I tried to update my bookmarks.
No can do. I can delete the current profile and install Firefox, which should create a new blank profile. The message still says "Firefox is already running." I can place my old profile in the proper folder, and Firefox will still be already running. I can't actually use Firefox, because even though the message says it is running, there is nothing on the screen I can access.
After uninstalling Firefox, deleting the two items left in the Programs folder, and deleting the profile again, it still didn't work. I then got frisky and from the Roaming folder I deleted the Mozilla folder which contains the Firefox folder which contains the now empty Profiles folder. That worked, and a new set of folders with a new blank profile were created. So apparently it was the empty folders that never got deleted that were causing the issue.
Thanks for your suggestion. It got me thinking. -

MAIL APP will NOT OPEN- NOT RESPONDING/FORCE QUIT
Macbook Pro 2011
Using Mavericks OS X 10.95
I don't really use the Mac Mail very often because have always had problems with it so I will tend to use Gmail, Yahoo or whatever service it is. I cannot even get mail to open at this point. It just says Application Not Responding and then I force quit. and it still wont open. The only annoying part is often on websites theres an email link to click and that opens the MAIL application to get that website.
Due to other problems, the Apple Geniuses recently wiped off my computer and made me install a backup so it should be 'fresh' and I wasn't having this happen before. But then again, installing t he backup has created numerous problems that didnt exist before. Ive tried rebooting already. There are no pending software updates. Everything is up to date except that it is not running Yosemite.Do a backup.
Quit Mail.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Go to Library/Containers/com.apple.mail. Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
Restart, re-launch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. You can then put the folder in the Trash. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there.

Crashes/quits unexpectedly -
Even when I start firefox I have to sit here and wait for it to tell me a script on this page is not responding or has quit working. Once that happens which takes a while, I can say stop script and it moves on. I've always liked using firefox and have never had a problem in the past, however if I can't get this particular problem fixed, and I've tried many ways to do this, I may have to change to another browser. I would hope that you could find out why this is happening to me before I make that decision. One other thing, I am using the dreaded Vista OS.
Try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
# You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
# Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

Illustrator has not been responding for over a week, I can't open or force quit it. I've already uninstalled, reinstalled, and deleted the preferences folder, but the icon in my dock seems corrupt and is causing the program to not respond and I can't delete it.
Tamara,
Did you reinstall using the full three step way (otherwise strange things may linger)?
Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

Mail application does not respond even after forcing quit over and over
My mail application is not responding. I have forced quit at least 5 times and I still get the beach ball. This just started happening 2 days ago and now I can't access my mail at all.
Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. -
FF30.0 "not responding" during QUIT process. Maybe script problem...
After several minutes, it becomes "not responding" and then after several more minutes it ceases to be "not responding" but takes several more minutes to display an "unresponsive script" message. I killed the script, then several minutes more before finally quitting.
Any way to make scripts stop running SOONER?
THIS:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/warning-unresponsive-script
talks about making the script run longer & then setting back down to default time; but does not say WHAT the default value is, nor does it say if you can safely REDUCE that value so a script is stopped sooner.
Is there any way to prevent scripts from running in the background for more than a specified amount of time? Its useful to have stuff load and sometimes refresh in the background, but not when they cause FF to slow down.
I am using Session Manager to save the session. Wonder if it causes each tab to reload before allowing it to quit, and this might be a reason for a script to start running again, and maybe get stuck? That seems to be the one and only Add-On that saves stuff and allows you to choose what to reload next time.

Preview is not responding even though it's been forced to quit
Hi,
My preview is not responding, and even though I've forced it to quit several times, it is still not responding.
I've tried to go to Finder --> Go to folder --> ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.plist --> and moved it to trash.
But none of it is working!
I'm studying for my exams, and I really need my "preview" to work.
I would be extremely happy, if anyone could help me.
ThanksWelcome to the Apple Community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings. -
IDVD won't ecode audio, 'not responding' = force quit
IDVD 6 /10.4.7/MACPRO
iDVD won't encode audio portion from iMovie had off.
original iMovie from DV camera, iMove encodes QT, etc
iDVD encodes video ( as noted by time bar) but when it gets to the audio portion it stops responding and then I have to forcve quit.
repaired persmissions, and delited the iDVD.plist
any thing I can do? iDVD 6 is the first time I used this after updateScooper,
iDVD is "not" slow (nor fast) encoding (actually transcoding) audio. iDVD relies on the Quicktime framework. iDVD invokes an external library from the set of resources provided by QT.
If the encoding appears to be slow. It may find its root in various origins. First, MacOSX is a Unix system. Unix is not "preemptive". It means that access to resources occurs thanks to a "good will" mode between processes (to make things short). So, it may appear that some processes are stale, but things are usually well under control (by the kernel). So, don't be hasty in killing a process reported as "not responding".
If you consider that the encoding process takes too much time, there are ways to make things better. First: More RAM. No workaround to that. Give some room to your Mac. Keep also in mind to keep free room on hard drive at least equal to 2 1/2 times the amount of RAM of your system. The Unix kernel of your Mac handles a "swap" that is used to virtually create an amount of RAM larger than what your system physically has. The kernel simply uses your hard-drive as buffer to store copies of RAM blocks occupied by portions of code or data not currently active. If all this is too small, the kernel will spend an awful amount of time dealing with the short space (RAM + free disk space for swap).
One way to figure out if you're in such case is to use one of the many administration tools available to you. Open Terminal (or a X11 xterm) and type 'top' (without quotes).
Check the last line of the header for the "pageouts" indicator. If the number in parenthesis is not zero (0), repeatedly, it means that your kernel is swapping memory block from the physical RAM to the virtual RAM stored on the hard drive (swapping).
Hit 'q' to quit top. You can also try 'top -o cpu'. This will get you which process is currently running requesting the most CPU resources. Normally, on a Unix system, if one process needs CPU and is mostly the only one at the moment asking for CPU, it can be allocated most of the available CPU time and jumps to over 80%. If you consider this "abnormal", just look at the "Load Avg." indicator. It tells you how many processes are "waiting" for their turn to access the CPU - it's averaged throughout the time, through 3 numbers. Remember the "good will" mechanism. If it remains low (up to 3, for a household Mac), then, do not worry. If it goes above, then try to quit some other user applications. An idle system reports numbers below 1.
These few sysadmin tips will tell you a lot about your system's health. Perhaps, you'll figure out by yourself what's wrong. For sure, not iDVD
Try perhaps upgrading to QT 7. There are benefits to that.

Keynote is not responding.When I click on Keynote Powerpoint presentation icon that is saved on my desktop, it just runs, asnd runs, and runs. I heve to force quit it. I'v never had this happen before. Never had this problem until last night when it would run and run and run. What can I do to open this powerpoint presentation?
I had this same problem as well. The original file had been converted from PPT, and it just got to a point where, while opening, the beach ball would just spin and spin and...
I followed some advice I saw posted somewhere, as follows:
1) Delete everything that is inside of Library/Caches and also ~Library/Caches; i.e., the one is accessed through "Macintosh HD:Library:Caches" and the other, ~Library:Caches folder is accessed by going to the Finder's "Go" menu and holding down the Option key. Delete everything inside each of these Caches folders.
2) Restart the machine and hold down all 4 keys of Command + Option + P + R while starting up, until you hear two bell chimes. After the 2nd bell chime you can let go. This resets the parameter something or other.
Open up Keynote and open yoru file. Should work. Worked for me. -
my sytem preferences remains in hang and is not responding even after force quit,may i have suggestion la
Hello: Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
Could you specify the Mac OS X version and also what computer you
are using it on, with some detail? Some of these kinds of issues, while
they may seem the same across various years of OS X, can have
different causes and also different cures.
With that information, someone may be capable of researching a reply
most suited to try & see if it works in your computer + OS X system.
One idea, which may/may not help, would be to start the computer
from its most recent OS X DVD install disc, unless it has OS X 10.7
or Later, where there is a Recovery partition on the HDD to boot from.
Then use Disk Utility> repair disk, while there, also repair permissions.
Thanks.
Good luck & happy computing!
