Why does PhotoShop CC 2014 crash my Windows 7 Professional 64-bit PC every time I try to use Sharpen/Blur Reduction and also Noise Reduction ??!!!???

Hi Adobe
You a have a really wonderful PhotoShop CC product. It's really great, and I know new versions such as 2014 have their teething problems.
But I am getting really sick of my Windows 7 Professional 64-bit PC being crashed whenever I try to use PhotoShop CC 2014 Sharpen / Blur Reduction and also Noise Reduction.
This happens both with JPG's and PSD's.
Please sort your **** out and get some patches out to address this quickly !!

Chris,
It doesn't crash for everyone.  A person could be forgiven for saying, in return, "Please sort out your **** system problems". 
Trust me when I say many, many problems are caused by the computer system setup not being up to the needs of this cutting-edge graphics software.  Photoshop is heavily dependent on the GPU, and GPU drivers are notorious for having bugs (they're primarily written to run games).
However, that being said, recent driver releases from both ATI and nVidia do actually work pretty well with Photoshop CC 2014.
What video card do you have?
What display driver version are you running?
If you're unsure how to tell these things, go into Photoshop, choose Help - System Info, copy the data, and post it here.

  • Why does the message "the last backup could not be completed" appears every time i try to back up my touch?

    Hi, I'm trying to back up my itouch in icloud but every time I try to hit the button backup now a message that says "the last backup could not be completed" appears. I would like to know why does it appears and what can I do to fix it?
    I would be grateful if you answer.

    Try the following steps:
    Plug your iPod Touch to your Mac/PC using USB cable.
    Open iTunes software and choose “backup to this computer” .
    Then you need to do a sysncing.
    Go to iCloud (iPod Touch: Settings > iCloud) and delete all previous backups.
    Then in iTunes, Turn on “backup to iCloud” again.
    On your iOS device, now you are able to backup to iCloud.

  • Why does Safari keep saying "it can't connect to the server" every time I try to access any sites?

    I have the latest safari update for os x, which was working perfectly fine up until 3 days ago. Everytime I would try to access any site, safari would tell me it couldn't connect to the server, and I would have to refresh the page at least 5-10 times until I can access the site. I checked my internet, and it seems to be running perfectly. I also tried using Chrome and it had no problems accessing sites, too, so I know it's not my internet. :/
    Is anyone else having the same problems?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Why does the aol desktop crash every time I try to use it

    Why does the aol desktop crash every time I try to use it and how can I fix the problem.

    I am having exactly the same problem with my iPhone 4 (running 6.0.1 (10A523)). I have rebooted several times since this started occurring but it doesn't change the behavior. It was also reporting a "storage almost full" error quite often when I still have 1GB - 3GB of free space. As a troubleshooting exercise I removed all my music so there is now 20.1GB free. The storage warning no longer appears but the same issue still persists with reminders. Help, please!

  • Ltunes crashes every time I try to use it.

    Why does itunes crash every time I try to use it?  Begins startup and get message that itunes is in compatability mode (which I don't know what it is nor have ever set itunes to run in it).  Then itunes crashes every time even after deleting and reinstalIing itunes. 
    Itunes used to be good and make handling media easier.  Now it is a nightmare.

    Hello, shermyanne. 
    Thank you for the question.  Try disabling Compatibility Mode via the steps in the first article below.  Once this is done, try launching iTunes again.

  • PSE 10 crashes every time I try to use it.

    I downloaded and installed PSE 10 on my new Windows 7 64 bit machine about a week ago. PSE 10 ran amazingly fast until yesterday.  I have imported and tagged several thousand images. Last night Organizer slowed down dramatically. Today, every time I try to use Organizer it crashes.  Also, the Task Pane has disappeared and I have to manually open it.  By the time it opens the program has crashed and ceased to respond.  I have closed PSE10 and reopened it.  I have both restarted and rebooted my computer, and I have repaired and optimized my catalogue.  If I uninstall and reinstall PSE10 will I lose all my catalogue information such as albums, tags, etc.? 

    Hi Elaine,
    Is your D: drive an internal or external drive?
    For the present, I'd say to install your optical drive and see if the Organizer still works.  That'll settle that issue once and for all.
    Here are my thoughts about restoring from your backup:
    I have my doubts that that will help.  This is based on the "Garbage In, Garbage Out" principle -- if you've backed up a corrupted catalog, what will you gain by restoring it?  However,
    There's a chance that the process of restoring your photos to a different directory and forcing PSE to rewrite the data in the catalog would fix whatever was wrong.  Right now, you dont' have anything to lose by trying it, right?
    So, the question becomes how best to restore from your backup and force all the data to be rewritten.  I'd suggest creating a new directory for the catalog and for the images.  For example, assuming you want everything on your C: drive, create this new directory:  "C:\Data\PSEcatalogs" and this new directory:  "C:\Photos".  Then, when you restore from that backup, point the catalog location to the "C:\Data\PSEcatalogs" directory; and point the location for the incoming photos to the "C:\Photos" directory with the option to keep the existing folder structure of the original photo directories.
    Does that work for you?  If it works, you'd obviously have to keep using that "C:\Photos" directory for new photos, and not your "My Pictures" directory (or wherever you're keeping them now).
    Comments are welcomed.

  • Firefox 4 hangs up, loops on itself, or freezes every time I try to use it, why?

    Since I upgraded to Firefox 4, every time I try to use it it hangs up. I click on a button or try to scroll down and nothing happens. I have to use the force quit function to get out of it because it won't even let me quit it normally. I have let it sit for hours and nothing changes, I can't get any information from my mac because I have to force quit firefox so there is no crash report. This did not happen with any previous version of Firefox.

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Every time I try to use adobe reader it crashes? (Mac 0s 10.9.3)

    Every time I try to use adobe reader it crashes..tried reinstalling but same thing happens! Any ideas?

    I would try deleting the program and download it again. Perhaps some part of it didn't download when you originally downloaded it.

  • Every time I try to use the "crop" tool, Aperture crashes. Anyone else have that problem?

    Every time I try to use the "crop" tool, Aperture crashes. Anyone else have that problem?

    It's an old installation, 2.1.4. I'm running OS 10.9
    That is the problem. Aperture 2 is not fully compatible with MacOS X 10.9; the crop-tool, the Loupe, some brushes no longer work reliably in the newer MacOS X version. And I really doubt, that there will be bug-fixes for Aperture 2 on Mavericks. These incompatibilities started with MacOS X Lion, and have gotten worse with each new operating system release.
    To run Aperture with Mavericks you will need to update to Aperture 3.5. for full compatibility.
    Do you also have older plug-ins installed, that might be incompatible with Mavericks? Check with the developer's website, if there are updates for any plug-ins.

  • Every time I try to use internet, the application(firefox/safari/chrome) stop working but when I use the modem on windows it works great. whats the problem?

    every time I try to use internet, the application(firefox/safari/chrome) stop working but when I use the modem on windows it works great. whats the problem?

    I just spoke with Tesco technical support (having been transferred to them by Clubcard support), who told me that the problems people are experiencing when visiting the Tesco site via Safari aren't currently being addressed because "not enough people have called to complain about it".
    I asked what percentage of people he thought might make the effort to call instead of just giving up. He replied that he would be one of those who just gave up.
    So it would seem that if we would like the problem to be resolved, we each need to take a few moments to CALL TESCO and ensure our complaint is logged by the technical support team.
    Every voice helps
