Xfi pro elite.... hang on shutd

Thought I had this problem licked a while back, but no.
I start my machine in Entertainment Mode and as long as I stay in that mode I get normal shutdowns (20 seconds or so). But I have several programs that need the Audio Creation Mode (sony vegas7, adobe audition2, cubaseLE, Avid Liquid7). When I am finished with these programs, I go back to Entertainment Mode and it takes at least 5 minutes for a shut down.
I installed Microsoft's UPH Cleaner, and its telling me that CTXFISPI.EXE is pretty much refusing to unload. UPH tries to force the unload and it fails. As a result, it remaps a whole pile of handles to get a shut down.
Is anybody else seeing this?
This problem has been with me since I installed the xfi... I like the sound card, but this is a pain... Is creative planning on doing something about this?

I don't get IRQ problems or even BSD's just the hangs any timeI use audio creation mode... It's too bad... the sound card is nice! But the software sure needs some work! I can li've with my problem I guess... it just gets to be a bit of a pain standing there waiting 5 or 0 minutes to make sure it shuts down all the time.

Since Vista doesn't work correctly on XFI Pro Elite.. What other sound card solutions do wo

I am not looking for a flame war - just to honestly get some advice from others on what other solid sound cards do you know that work properly when hooking up optical inputs and such and have a wide selection of inputs like the creative xfi elite pro's breakout box. M

Ok an update. I am very persistant - was up to 4am trying to fix this and trying to go through every possible problem. That right there shows there is some serious problems with creative's software and drivers. It is suppose to be easy, not require someone who has a master's degree in computer science 2 hours to sort through the problems. It would help if there was just a clear install guide telling exactly what needs to be done - or better yet - gasp - an installer than actually did all the complicated things for you. (Creative - see Installshield and an expert consultant - they can help you. It will be worth outsourcing your efforts to get a clean view on things. I suspect the people putting these driver packages at creatives have been there a while and have lost perspecti've). It is possible to get the soundcard working to a degree on Vista. Things to realize (the following works if an only if you only have one creative product installed. Otherwise it could screw up your system):?
Make am imagine of your Windows before and after this. Before because its easy to screw things up. After because once you get it working you will never want to do it again.<
Order or find on torrent the Official Vista Install CD [do not install it yet]. Download it. Its large - or order it and pay $9 for shipping and handling. (I think they are paying a courier to hand deli'ver it and also bring me coffee since it is so expensi've). You can not get this from creative's online site. (Imagine that).<
You must uninstall manually everything that creative installs at all before going to next step.<
You must uninstall everything that is nati've audio to your system (e.g. built on the motherboard).<
There must not be other audio drivers or audio software installed.<
After you uninstall all this - make sure you also uninstall creative's drivers, any other drivers of an audio nature, and make sure you check the box that says "delete drivers" when you uninstall.<
REBOOT<
Remove any other audio products from the system if possible. If built on a motherboard - see next step.<
Go into the BIOS. Disable anything that is audio related. Save your settings.<
REBOOT (again).<
Go delete every registry setting that is in your registry hi've using regedit that is creative xfi related. (This can take some time because there are many sub devices, and not everything says "creative" on it.)? Good luck.<
Delete everything in your program files under creative (remember to make sure you do this as an administrator with adminstrator permissions - thanks UAC).<
Delete everything in users/[every user name here that runs on your system]/appdata/local/creative<
Delete everything in users/[every user name here that runs on your system]/roaming/creative<
[another words - delete everything you can find creative related to the xfi] - again be careful if you have more than one creative product - you could screw your system.<
Install the Official Vista CD. Install ALL the software with ALL options. Click yes to a thousands OK yes I agree to install. Make sure you install this with administrati've privliedges.<
REBOOT (again).<
Register (why not - you did everything else)<
Update all the software that it says to update. This will take?a long time because all of the software that is on the CD is out of date. <
Alchemy will not update because you will have just updated a new set of drivers. So...<
REBOOT (again).<
Update all of software again that it says to update. (Creatives update manager works decently).<
Alchemy will finish installing.<
REBOOT (again).<
Do not use control/panel/sound to adjust things - its useless<
Make sure you use the Creative XFI Volume Panel (It is not the same as the Windows Volume). Great job naming this guys... Set what you want... the sound should be working.<
NOTE:? SPDIF seems to be not available in Games (Sorry folks who run PS3 Optical through this device - your SOL - thanks Creative). To do this you must use it in Entertainment mode - but wait... SPDIF is disable by default. You must go to the mixer and enable it.<
Now with this being said - many things still won't be functional. E.g. there is no dolby through SPDIF, etc. Many of the features that were sold with this card - simply are not available in the Vista drivers. Also note that to use the latest Alchemy that is on the web site (not through the updates) you have to hunt down and find beta drivers and install those - which automatically expire later on in the year. Good jobs guys with this too... not very smart creative.<
SO there you have it. I am sure I may have missed a step - so if someone trys this and has a question - I will try to help. This is ridiculous though that someone has to go through this. A Windows service pack for the OS is easier than this. Creative get a clue - - fire some of your developers and get some that can do a decent job programming the drivers after 2 years of alpha's and betas and release - and create a decent install product. I shudder to think of the poor souls who bought more than one creative product. Good luck sorting through the directory, shared files, registry hi'ves, etc. to get your software working. If I hadn't paid a large some of money for this piece of hardware I would have never spent so much time on it. I figure even at $30 an hour - its about $400 in effort just to figure the above out, search through all the registry, hunt through the multiple directories of Vista, download the software, find out which software you have to download, etc. I am posting it here so that the average person who spent a couple hundred bucks on this card doesn't spend hundreds of dollars of time trying to get it to work on Vista.
My advice for newbies to computers - go to best buy - spend $50 for install and tell them to get it all working perfectly in your PC. Best Buy is overpriced on everything now adays anyway... they wanted $40 for a hdmi to dvi converter when you can order one online for $5. They seem to be the 7- of Electronics.
Please creative - clean up your act.

Premiere Pro CC hangs on splash screen "loading ExporterQuicktimeHost.bundle"

Premiere Pro CC hangs on splash screen "loading ExporterQuicktimeHost.bundle"
This happened before when I had CS6. I'm now using CC and haven't had problems until now. I again get the hang up while loading. Previously I trashed the loading ExporterQuicktimeHost.bundle file and this solved the problem.
I tried to contact support. I thought my subscription to CC included support, apparently not.
Anyone else have this Problem?
Brian

Thanks for the response Kevin.
I tried repairing permissions.
I recently installed OSX 10.8.4 but I've been succesfully using PP since then. PP is up to date v7.0.1
I have read the other forum posts on this.
Again, this problem cropped up using PP CS6, but I was able fix it using this procedure:
1. Go to Applications
2. Go to Adobe Premiere CS6
3. Right click on the application and click on “Show Package Contents”
4. Go to Contents –> Plug-ins –> Common
5. Move the following files to the desktop: ExporterQuicktimeHost.bundle and ImporterQuicktimeHost.bundle
6. Restart Adobe Premiere CS6 and it will successfully open up
This no longer fixes it.
I desperately need to get back to work.
Even though I feel Adobe support should be included in a CC subscription, I'm considering purchasing Adobe Bronze support with a max wait time of 4 hours and only alloted phone calls for $175
thanks anyway

Mac pro still hangs on the blue screen on start up.

Hi.
my mac pro still hangs for ages on the blue screen before the login page where i input my password appears.
i've tried starting up in command-V and that didn't work.
i thought snow leopard was meant to improve, it has just slowed my start up down greatly!
could someone please advise on how to fix this?
thanks
Dan.

Hi boom,
Have you tried downloading and re-applying the latest Combo update?
If not, go to the apple download page, find the Combo update (couple of hundred MB) and install it.
This has fixed various issues in the past for numerous users... it might do the trick for you.
After it's installed and rebooted, repair permissions and reboot again.
Also check to see (using software update) if there are no firmware updates available for you.
And, make sure the OS drive's root is clean, just the basic Applications, Library, System and Users folders, no other mess. If there are 'Previous System' folders from earlier Archive & Install situations you might want to remove those.
Finally, if you upgraded from a PowerPC to Intel using the Migration Assistant the symptoms you are describing are very common, the migration assistant well... it ***** :/

My Mac Pro is hanging after installing Mountain Lion

My Mac Pro is hanging and it started not long after I installed Mountain Lion. It seems to be related to Contacts in that it is constantly trying to sync with iCloud. It becomes unresponsive and when I force quit, other apps start going down. Eventually Mail hangs and I have to hit the power button and force a restart of the Mac Pro. It also brings down my DSL connection which runs through an Airport Extreme. Has anybody had similar experiences? Contrary to what it might say in my profile, I'm running a 2.8 Ghz Quad Core Mac Pro and 10.8.2.

Welcome. If you search for "Mountain Lion freeze" you will see you are NOT alone. But as far as I know there is no solution.

One month old macbook pro got hang(freeze) once, and kernel panic once: should i need to take some actions or its ok??

my macbook pro 13.3 (OS XLion 10.7.4) is one month old, few days ago it got freezed(hanged) at that time only 2 apps were running google chrome and xcode, i pressed power button (hold it for few seconds) to restrat.
Today when i opened the lid(as my mac was on sleep for last one hour- no apps except finder was running) i saw an error like this "mac encountered an error hold your power button for few seconds to restart......blah blah..something in other languages too", i think some where it used the word "kernel panic".
After restart mac said "your computer restarted because of a reason", below i have copy pasted the reason.
Please suggest me its(this behavior is) okie or should i take it to apple center?, also to note i have never played any game on my mac. Can any body suggest me why this kernel panic happened by seeing the reason below.
Now i am afraid to leave my mac at sleep with unsaved data and that was the exact reason i shifted from windows to mac.

I have had a 15" Late 2011 model MBP since December and have never had a kernel panic.
If I do I would take it in for a check up.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended hangs for about 12 seconds ... please help!

Hi there,
I'm using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended and have the following problem:
I can open PDF documents just fine. But after about 3-4 seconds the program hangs / freezes for about 12 seconds. I've tried everything (defined a non-network printer as default printer, deactivated unecessary fonts with a font manager, deactivated most of the plugins from Adobe Acrobat etc.)... nothing helps to solve this issue.
Can anybody give me a hint or have a solution for this ???
Thanks for your help!

NIK Silver Efex Pro 2 hangs CS5 W/100% CPU Win 7 64bit

I'm running Win 7 64bit and CS5 64bit and it works fine until I load Silver Efex Pro 2 then CS5 hangs and CPU is @ 100%. I have to force close CS5.
I also have SEP 1 and that works without a problem.
I also run XP Pro SP2 on a completely different hard drive that get switched in and out with my Win 7 hard drive, NOTE these two OS's are not in the system at the same time (sorry but some on these forum get confused about that), and run CS5 32bit on that install and SEP runs fine on that OS and CS5 32bit.
What could cause this. I will be contacting NIK tomorrow about this problem.
Anyone else haviing this problem?
Thanks.

Not helpful?
In this thread alone you asked whether anyone had seen a problem. I bumped the thread back to the top so it would be seen more. Yes, I really did think about that when I made my first response in this thread, which otherwise had 0 responses and had fallen off the first page. It was a "matter of fact" response, intended for you and future readers, no condescension intended.
You asked about licensing services and I named them.
But these things are not helpful in your opinion. No "thanks for the information" or even "thanks for your response". Just a "Gee Thanks" with an attitude.
Unlike you, when you address me, I respond. I asked you a question, but you ignored it.
And now guess what? I don't particularly feel like doing you a favor and trying to remember that you would prefer me not to respond to your comments. Tell you what: You continue to post when and where you want, and I'll do the same.

The CONNECT in Pro*C hangs

EXEC SQL CONNECT :user IDENTIFIED BY :pwd
This is the statement in Pro*C that hangs .
When I step through the program , it hangs at
sqlcxt((void **)0, &sqlctx, &sqlstm, &sqlfpn);
The user and pwd bind variables are set correctly.
The listener is started and I can connect using SQL Plus with the same username and password as the one I give in the Pro*C program.
The Oracle version in 8.1.7 and running on HP-UX11.
Kindly help urgently.

Connect Pro plugin hangs "Loading"

Hi,
I have a problem on one computer (a Mac) whereby I launch my meeting room from Safari, it starts the Connect Pro Plugin (Mac) and then just hangs, staying on the loading screen. Using ?launcher=false on the URL allows the room to be opened just fine in Safari, but of course I cannot share my screen, etc. If I try to launch my meeting room from Firefox, the Connect Pro plugin works just fine.
I have tried removing cookies in Safari, emptying the cache in the Connect Pro plugin, with no joy.
Please help! Any advice or suggestions will be very welcome!

I'm having the exact same issue. OS is 10.5.8. I've removed the previously installed addin (found at ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/www.macromedia.com/bin/) and started a new install. Same issue. Launcher=false in the URL allows me to participate in a meeting.
Firefox is not running, nor is any other browser instance or Connect Pro session.
Support had fixed this for me at one time but it seems to have reverted sometime recently with the new Connect release.

How do I prevent my Mac Pro from hanging up in a start/stop loop?

My Mac Pro has a strange behavior I need help with. This computer is used almost exclusively for audio recording in my studio. I run Cubase 4 as my primary sequencing software. Everything will be going fine during a session, and then the software will abruptly hang up in a *start/stop loop*, stuttering back and forth between these two functions for up to 2 minutes before stopping. During this loop problem, the start/stop transport buttons alternately light up and the song starts and stops. Nothing I have tried will interrupt the problem. It just runs its course and then stops, usually between 30 - 90 seconds.
Interestingly, the same behavior shows up in other applications and in the Finder. In Quicktime and iTunes, it shows up as a start/stop loop. In the finder, it will shuttle back and forth between two related functions and beep each time. In word, it will show up as a key stick, typing the same letter over and over.
Needless to say, this is all very frustrating and embarrassing when clients are here. Any help will be greatly appreciates. Let me know if you have any additional questions.

I'd begin with repairing your drives with Disk Utility and Disk Warrior; clone your system to another drive, and check for corrupt files and prefs.

MacBook Pro Retina hangs while opening mounted share or USB drive

I have a Macbook Pro Retina that I just updated to 10.8.2 over the past weekend. Now, when I try to open a mounted SMB share or USB drive, the system hangs completely! I had the system set to auto-reconnect my network shares, so when this started happening the system would hang right after login. I was able to get in with Safe Boot and disable the auto-connect, so at least I can work now, but not being able to use a flash drive is really getting on my nerves. Any ideas?

I just ran a few tests to confirm my suspicion that this is a sleep problem for me and found that my rMBP will restart as soon as it has entered the sleep cycle. Set it to auto sleep after 10 minutes and it will restart at 10 minutes, set it to sleep at 3 minutes and it will restart at 3 minutes. Command it to sleep and it will restart.
So for me at least there is a workaround and that is to set sleep to "never". The display still sleeps but my mac keeps running. So that's not a solution but it is a workaround, and if I want it to shutdown and not restart I either hold the powerbutton or take off the power cable and choose shut down from the dropdown menu (it won't restart on battery power, it'll just shut down).
I hope that helps someone else! And I hope it helps the engineers to diagnose and actually solve the very long running problem for us all..

MacBook Pro Retina hangs on startup when connected to Thunderbolt Display

I have a MacBook Pro Retina and it's basically almost always connected to my Thunderbolt Display. Each time I start it up, I open the MacBook just slightly and press the power button - and almost instantly the MacBook goes ontop the startup Login screen and at this point is where I close the MacBook and login through the Thunderbolt Display.
Since last night for the very first time - My MacBook Pro hangs on a white screen and takes a long time before going to the Login screen. I've tried to swith the Thunderbolt Display off from the mains - I've also tried to boot up my MacBook on it's own without it being connected to the Thunderbold Display and all is fine (it almost immediatelly shows the Apple logo and then staright onto the Login screen then BUT as explained, as soon as the MacBook is connected to the Thunderbolt Display and I power it up - it hangs on a white screen for about 30 - 60 seconds before it goes to the login screen!
I have no idea how from one day to the next this could happen? Perhaps it's some Apple updates I've made recently which I cant really recall because I usually just update software when required to do so.
Hoping anyone can help.

Hello FunkTunes,
I recommend this section of the article Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573.
Check connections
When using an external display be sure to check the following:
If you're using an Apple notebook, confirm the AC power cable or adapter is securely connected to the computer and the cable providing power to the display is also secure. It is always good to have your notebook connected to AC power when an external display is in use.
Confirm display adapters are fully seated in their respective connections and that they are supported models and for the computer and display. Refer to these articles to assist you with adapter compatibility and further configuration information:
Monitor and Display Adapter Table
About Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters
Apple Mini DisplayPort adapters: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Thunderbolt ports and displays: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Remove all display cable extenders, KVM switches, or other like devices and retest to determine if the issue is resolved.
Try unplugging the video adapter or cable and then plug it back in.
If more than one video adapter is in use (or "daisy-chained"), troubleshoot by using only one adapter.
Example: A mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter connected to a DVI to HDMI adapter is an unsupported configuration because there is a series of adapters in use.
If available, try using a different display and or adapter (or use a different connector by using DVI instead of VGA, for instance).
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.Reset the resolutionStart by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
All the best,
Sterling
