Windows 8.1 Flash CC 2014 Not responsive for about 30 seconds every 10 mins or so... Trying 30 day trial.

I am trialing CC 2014 to open some files from an animator. It locks up all the time for between 10 to 60 seconds. It picks up fine once it wakes back up, but it happens very regularly and doesn't seem to relate to any particular activity.
During this time it is marked in the task manager as (Not responsive) It doesn't seem to be taking up a huge amount of CPU or disk read/write during this. It happens whether I have the network connected or not.
It's the only thing on my laptop that does this. I have CS4 installed and it doesn't have this issue.
My laptop has 16GB ram, quad core i7 and good size solid state with over 100GB free space that can do 550MBps.
Is anyone else having these issues? It's unusable, but it's giving me plenty of tea breaks so I suppose that's something.
I know someone who seems to have similar issues on Flash CS6.
Thanks,
           Mike

Wooah, yeah I think that's done it. Also seems to have fixed it for my friend using CS6. Thanks for the help. I guess I was right with my every 10 minutes estimate then, it was exactly 10 minutes
Surprised it locks it up so bad though. Maybe there should be a warning message if it regularly takes longer than a few seconds telling you what it was and how to disable it.
Thanks,
            Mike.

  • What are you considering non responsive with the plugins? Flash player is working just fine then I get your crash page in the middle of doing something. You say it only crashes when it's been unresponsive for 45 seconds. Mine is crashing in less then 1

    I have had problems with firefox crashing for the last three month. I have updated to the latest version with the crash protection. Now the flash player crashes about every 20 minutes or so. On your blog page you state that I will get the crash page when the plugin has been non-responsive for 45 seconds well with mine the games are going along just fine then wham crash page. Flash player was responding and you gave me crash report anyway. What's up???? Flash player is crashing within seconds not 45 seconds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your check plugin page always states that my plugins are UP TO DATE!!!!!
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == three months ago and getting worse with every upgrade you send!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    '''''"I have had problems with firefox crashing for the last three month."'''''
    You need to investigate the cause of your crashes that started prior to the release of the first Firefox version that offered crash protection, version 3.6.4, released in mid to late June 2010; that is just over one month ago.
    <u>'''The crash protection feature does not prevent a plugin from crashing, it prevents the whole Firefox browser from crashing because of a crashing plugin; only the tab with the crashing plugin crashes.'''</u>
    For information about report plugin crashes see: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Plugin+crash+reports
    You need to post the crash Report IDs for the crashes occurring over the last 3 months. To do so, type '''about:crashes''' in the URL/location/address bar, then copy and paste the Report IDs (only) into your reply.

    Are you seeing your music listed in the iPod screen, or in Win explorer as in your earlier post?
    I can see all the songs in my Edrive>al's Ipod> Ipod Control> Music folder.
    A corrupted iPod database, will report zero music used, and have your music size reported as others, so you wont see the music in the iPod screen. Sorry, I thought there was some hope for you with iPodAccess, in recovery of the corrupted iPod database with your ratings.
    You can try to borrow and  use the Mac Disk Utility ->First Aid ->Repair.
    Of course, if your iPod Hardisk is in a bad state, from the Disk Diagnostic report, then all my suggestion are futile.

  • Since Flash CS6 Is not supported for OSX 10.8, can cloud members have Flash CS5?

    Since Flash CS6 Is not supported for OSX 10.8, can cloud members have Flash CS5?
    I see that Flash CS6 is not supported (http://helpx.adobe.com/flash/kb/mountain-lion-support-flash-professional.html ) . My coworkers and I are not able to see some fonts and the colorpickers are not working properly as mentioned at the URL.
    Can you make the previous version of Flash available for download and use with cloud membership just for this OS X 10.8 issue.
    It'd be more of a hassle for us to revert back to an older OS then to just get an extra older version of Flash on our system.

  • Every time i try to install itunes on my laptop for windows  i get the message''key not valid for use in specified state''  any clue? '

    every time i try to install itunes on my laptop for windows  i get the message''key not valid for use in specified state''  any clue?

    For "Key not valid for use in specified state" errors try moving the folder RSA from C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA to say C:\<User>\RSA (just in case there should be a need to restore it) then try installing again. This folder appears to act as a cache and should be rebuilt automatically as required.
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • Flash games freeze for some seconds every some minutes

    I just had a stupid moment and upgraded from Firefox 22 to 30 yesterday. I know every version adds problems and removes features, but I wanted check what is the current status.
    Now, Firefox 30 freezes flash games for some seconds every some minutes. Of course, with the 22 this never happened.
    The computer is identical, only Firefox is changed.
    Considering the level of the answers here, I in advance say:
    * no there are no viruses or malwares - I said only Firefox is changed
    * yes I cleared cache cookies and other stuff people say when they do not know what else to say
    * yes flash is the same version
    * I have no theme and the addons are the same of the old version
    * I could care less about safe mode. The old version never saw safe mode and it worked fine
    Maybe there is some stupid about config setting for which Firefox want an useless disk access? something new in the version 30 I mean.
    Maybe version 30 is become so inefficient that when it updates the cache it freezes totally?
    I have last faint hope for some real practical suggestion, for which I thank in advance.
    With FF 22 I could play flash games for hours without problems, with v 30 I need to close it every hour otherwise it takes so much RAM (up to 2 GB) it totally hangs. But hey they removed the download window, they say "use an addon". When the RAM is totally out, they say "you have too many addons". Wonder why. Next time we will need an addon for supporting images?

    Hi zzzz1,
    This is a really good question. It has been a while since I have tried version 22, but you have mentioned most of the recommended troubleshooting steps including: malware, clearing cache(offline), updating flash, safe mode and no new add ons.
    I wonder if the new version has different system requirements.
    [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/22.0/system-requirements/ version 22][https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/30.0/system-requirements/ version 30]- No.
    There are add ons that optimize cache size and block flash content, as well as Ad block plus which blocks some scripts running in the browser. These could minimize the 2GB of Ram.
    In all practicality, have you tried reinstalling Flash or clearing the actual flash cache. This may mess with online game storage though, so maybe not.

  • Unique prob - often when I R-click a link in a page, FF goes "Not Resp" for up to 2 min - S/times crashes, or Re Starts with stalled tab set last on task bar.

    Unique prob - often when I Right-click a link in a page, FF goes "Not Resp" for up to 2 mins, then most often Re Starts with the stalled tab set (of the window that I clicked in) moving to last place on the browser task bar. Roughly 1 in 5 times when it happens, FF crashes. Done copious searching here & elsewhere & it would appear this is unique, as I can't see this exact problem mentioned. I have the latest FF version & assume all add ons update at that time or auto do so, (all set to default). Have also updated to latest "flash / shock wave".

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • Acrobat X Not Reponding for 30 seconds almost every time I open a file

    Acrobat X Not Reponding for 30 seconds almost every time I open a file
    The title says it all.
    This happens on 4 computer systems, including:
    Windows 8 64-bit desktop, FRESH INSTALL
    Windows 8 32-bit laptop, FRESH Install
    Windows 7 64-bit desktop, REINSTALLED AND PROBLEM PERSISTS
    Windows 7 32-bit laptop
    I have read long forum postings of people having this problem on many different versions of Acrobat and Reader and tried many of the purpored solutions, none worked.
    I would like some expert advice, but more importantly why hasn't Adobe investigated and solved this widely reported phenomenon that has gone on for years? There is no way I would upgrade to Acrobat XI (which some people report has this problem) unless Adobe acknowledges and fixes this.
    Where do I report this issue to Adobe?

    no idea what IPM is.  not in the help file.  any way, who cares?  this is a bug that needs to be reported.  where does one do that?

  • Illustrator 25% off the time "program not responding" for 35 seconds when network is active

    Hi
    My Client have 4 computers, all win7, running cs 5 or 6, the newest the cloudbased version.
    The problem has been sinc upgrading from cs3.
    "Program not responding" for 35 seconds, before loading the file on 1/4 of time.
    It is not on specific files, and no patton.
    it does'nt matter if the files are on network or saved local on Harddrive.
    the sice does'nt matter.
    Only switching of nic and wifi stops the problem.
    I did try downloading other files (not made by my client), from the net, they do not trigger the problem.
    What else then the Files can bee the problem? can anyone test my files to see what is wrong?
    BG Allan Tjepp

    I have a very similar problem with my CS6 Ai on our company network. I sometimes use Illustrator for image heavy documents less than 10 pages. These have a lot of placed images.
    It will freeze, say "not responding" and curser switches to blue spinner. Then about 15 sec later it unfreezes and I can work for another 60 sec or so, then repeat freeze, blue spinner, etc. Very annoying. When i unplug the network LAN cable the problem goes away and I sail along. I have tried relocating the Ai file to my desktop (not sure about the images).
    Waiting on any feedback or help, our IS guys are getting stumped. I could switch to InDesign for this work but not my preference.

  • Bought a ipod nano 6th and is not playing for more than 2 min?

    bought a ipod nano 6th and is not playing for more than 2 min?

    The most likely problem is that the headset is not inserted fully. When you insert the headset, you should feel and hear a "Click" to let you know it is inserted all the way.
    The problem is that if it is not inserted all the way, the nano does not detect it. If it is not detected, it will pause playback when the screen goes dark. This is to keep your battery from draining when there is nothing connected to listen to the music.

    The Download is about 4GB, it depends on how fast your internet connection is and how busy Apple computers are. Have you any way of checking if your Internet is downloading, I.E activity lights on you router. My Internet is 8Mb/s download and it took just over an hour to download earlier today.
    I am not sure about a "time remaining"icon.

  • When trying toedit a text message on my iphone5 the edit bubble will pop up but it is no responsive for about thirty seconds before it will respond to the key functions. It just lags behind. Has anyone else had this problem and if so is there a fix?

    I rarely record automation, and when I do I never do a second pass (usually hand draw automation in) but I have had problems with Logic 7 no longer playing back automation. I've been told its fixed in Logic 8, but in the mean time here is a work around.
    Select the region where the automation is (if there is no region, create one using the pencil tool and expand it to cover all automation) and go OPTIONS menu -> TRACK AUTOMATION -> "Move current track data to region data." Now everything should play back as expected. If you want to edit the data, simply select "move current region data to track data" and edit away.
    For some reason, Logic 7 will sometimes stop reading track automation data, but I have yet to have it stop reading region automation. This is a bug, and according to other users, has been fixed in Logic 8. Hope this helps until we eventually upgrade

  • Premiere Pro CC 2014 not optimized for iMac 5K graphics card?

    I have the new iMac 5k with the AMD Redeon R9 M295X 4 GB GDDR5 graphics card. In Premiere Pro CC 2014 (updated to the latest version), when I go to "project settings" and select "Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration," I get a pop-up window that reads: "the selected renderer hardware has not been certified." Does this mean that Premiere Pro is not optimized for these video cards? If I still choose to select GPU acceleration, will I see any performance boost?
    Thanks in advance for any responses.

    It means Adobe has not tested the card.
    If you can select the card you are OK.
