When I try and save a file Photoshop crashes "McAfee blocked suspicious activity-Buffer overflow"

I never had this problem before. When i try and save a file Photoshop just fails instantly crashes and I get this error message from McAfee software:

Well, you could just make your firewall behave and create an exception rule as the warning suggests... It's unlikely that this is PS itself, anyway. Eitehr it's a flakey driver or a cracked plug-in you may be using (not implying anything here, so keep cool) may produce a wrong hash value/ signature and trigger the alarm.

  • After the latest Security Update 2012-001 (Mac OS X 10.6.8) my Adobe Photoshop CS 8, Dreamweaver 8, and InDesign CS programs crash when I try to save a file.

    After the latest Security Update 2012-001 (Mac OS X 10.6.8) my Adobe Photoshop CS 8, Dreamweaver 8, and InDesign CS programs crash when I try to save a file. HELP!!!

    Howdy,
    Apparently some are reporting that this causes the older PowerPC (PPC) applications that are supported in 10.6 via 'Rosetta' to crash upon attempting to open/save/print using any dialog box, or fail in other similar ways such as simply not printing or quitting, or freezing/hanging/crashing of the application.
    I have read of some companies that have indeed submitted proper bug reports to Apple, but that is not a guarantee of a bug-fix being issued.
    You might wish to read:
    http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/snowleopard/index.html#d02feb2012
    If you are unsure if you are still using PowerPC apps, if the application is currently running, look under the 'Activity Monitior' (in Applications -> Utilities), or alternatively you could check in the System Profiler, Applications. Check the column "Type".
    Here is a fairly simple way you can restore you system and restore you applications functionality again, if you don't have a recent clone or good Time Machine backup that you can restore from. If you do, restore from your backup prior to having installed the Security Update 2012-001.
    Time Machine restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
    If you are restoring a backup made by a Mac to the same Mac
    With your backup drive connected, start up your Mac from the Lion recovery partition (Command-R at startup) or Mac OS X v10.6 installation disc. Then use the "Restore From Time Machine Backup" utility. Select the backup prior to your issues, and it will be restored back to the state it was in at that time.
    If you can't easily restore from a backup, you can instead do the following:
    - You first start by reinstalling your OS X 10.6.x, this will preserve all your user data, your applications, no worries there.
    - Then install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 (links provided below)
    - Make sure you're printers are showing up correctly in your system preferences, if not, re-add the printers
    - Then finally, run the Apple Software Update (by pulling down the Apple Menu), and install any and all remaining updates, except do not then re-install the Security Update 2012-001. It is possible that you may have to reboot after installing some of the updates, and you may even need to run it a 2nd time to make sure that you've got all updates, except NOT the Security Update 2012-001.
    Links for 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    or the link to directly download this 1.09GB combo updater:

  • When I try and Save for Web in Photoshop CC I receive an error message saying 'The operation cannot be completed. The requested operation cannot be perfomed on a file with a user-mapped selection open'.

    When I try and Save for Web in Photoshop CC I receive an error message saying 'The operation cannot be completed. The requested operation cannot be performed on a file with a user-mapped selection open'. This happens with any of my files not just one in particular...
    Can anyone help solve this please?

    ELEMENTS 12 AND ELEMENTS 13
    Upgraded to 13 Thinking might resolve the issue.
    Was working fine up until we had "Tech" come in the office and "up grade some stuff"
    then all of a sudden i started getting this message, something happened but i don't have a clue what.

    I was trying to upload from my iPad to my pc.
    That was hard for us to guess, from your post It might have helped to mention the iPad.
    How are you trying to save the song to your PC? Are you sending the song to iTunes? If yes, as a project or as an audio file? Make sure, you select "AAC" and not "GarageBand", when you share the song from your iPad.
    If the clip is not too large, you might alternately try to share it by mail, see:

  • Why is Firefox replacing 'space' with '%20' when I try to save a file?

    Alright so when I try to save a file from at least two websites, Firefox is converting the spaces in the file name to '%20'. So for example, instead of 'Firefox rules.doc' it's 'Firefox%20rules.doc'.
    This is NOT a html error, Internet Explorer doesn't have these problems on the exact same websites, and it's only a recent occurance for Firefox.
    EDIT: Have tried re-installing Firefox; diabling add-ons; diabling plugins; updating plug-ins; creating a new profile.

    Are you left-clicking the link when that happens or do you use "Save Link as" the right-click context menu?
    Does it also happen if you hold down the Alt key and left-click?

  • An unknown error appears when I try to save older files in CC 2014. If I outline the fonts, I can save.

    An unknown error appears when I try to save older files in CC 2014. I can save the file if I outline the fonts. Is anyone else having this problem?

    It also happens with my illustrator.
    Have you found a solution with Adobe Support?
    You can transform the all fonts in curves, but itll be impossible edite again. Sad. too sad.

  • Photoshop crashes when I try and save for web and devices. Making the image size smaller does not help.

    I'm trying to make a lopping .gif from an animation that I made. It's 147 total frames. It's crashed about 6 times now every time I either try and Save for Web or even just save the document on my desktop so in case it crashes I can reopen PS and recover it. Making the image size smaller (original size is 1920 x 1080 with resolution 72) does not help, it still makes the *ding* error when I attempt to save. I made the image more than half of the original size and the Save for Web box actually came up that time, but when I tried clicking save it said there was an error and PS crashed without warning.

    Look at the crash report for your Photoshop crashes see what they show

  • Adobe Illustrator (CS5) keeps crashing when I try to save my files

    So in the last few weeks, my adobe illustrator has started acting up and won't save my files unless they are in the folder that the program makes itself. Those are usually files with long names that are a series of numbers and letters. Even if I copy and paste the name into a search, my computer isn't able to locate the folder, which makes it impossible to do any work because it will only save to one place. Has anyone else had this issue and know how to fix it?

    Does this help any? I'm trying to save my files to my desktop (or anywhere locatable for that matter) But it only allows me to save to this file for some reason. Even if I copy and paste the name of the file, it does not appear when I try to find my file outside of AI. When I try to choose a different location, I get the error message below

  • "Get Error code -120 when I try to save a file?"

    I am editing some files and just tried to save one and I got a MacOS error code -120. I cannot find an explanation for this. What is it? It says "Directory not found" but the directory path shows at the top of the file.

  • I get this message "The operation can't be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -50)" when I try and add any files to my Time Capsule

    I get this message "The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -50)" when I try and add or delete any files to my Time Capsule.  It just started happening a week ago.

    I would get an external drive today and copy all your stuff off the TC.. forget trying to load more onto it. There is a good chance after 3years (A 2TB should be only about 2years tops), the disk or the TC itself is on the way out. Do it immediately. If TM is also failing to backup you need to recognise symtoms of impending doom.
    Unfortunately the error messages are archane and it is hard to discover their meaning.
    You also cannot verify a network drive.. you can verify the TM sparsebundle though so do that.
    A5. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    Reboot the whole network from off.. certainly if you run later OS it can simply lose the drive..
    If you still fail to be able to copy to the TC.. then get that external and copy off it. Tell us if you can do that.

  • Asking for my password when I try and delete a file

    I have a few files that I can't seem to delete without the computer asking for my password. When I try and delete them, it shows this message:
    Authenticate
    Finder requires that you type your password
    Then the window has fields for my name and password. Under the Details arrow it says this:
    Requested right: com.apple.desktopservices
    Application: /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app
    I'm not happy with having to provide my password just to delete a file. And not all files produce this result. Why does it do this?
    Cheers,
    Tina

    Select the folder containing the file in the Finder and choose Get Info from the File menu; if the file is on the desktop, click on the desktop so that no icon is selected. Under Ownership & Permissions, change the settings so you have Read & Write access to the folder. This should not be done in system-level folders.
    You will be asked to enter your password when you try to delete the file in the following circumstances:
    1. If the folder you're deleting the file from is set not to allow you write access. This is the most common case.
    2. If the folder containing the file has the Locked checkbox set. This cannot be turned on or off in the Finder in versions of Mac OS X older than 10.4. If this was the case, you would be told that you didn't have permission to delete the file even after entering your password.
    3. If the enclosing folder has the sticky bit set and neither the file nor the enclosing folder are owned by your account. No item in your home folder should have the sticky bit set, but other parts of the hard disk(such as /Users/Shared/ and the hard disk itself) do.
