I'm not sure if it's my lack of sleep or general incompetance but for a reason when I try and add an IK to my rigs arm, it simply snaps the arm dead- straight and wont bend at the elbow when I move the handle. I've fiddled with joint orientation for some time and nothing I do seems to fix it and the frustrating thing is that adding IKs to my rigs legs works fine.

I remove an SD card from the Camera (canon 60d) Load it into my card reader and have it read by lightroom 5.0 and load the pictures into the catalog. I remove the card from lightroom and place it back into the camera. The camera indicates the card is not readable. However formating the card makes it usable. Lightroom 5.0 renders the card unreadable!

I have been having a persistent problem with a project I am working on. The project is a 3d animation, the objects in which were made in Maya 2011. When I started animating things in 2012 it was all working fine, but then one day it stopped saving my edits on some files.
On these uneditable files the objects cannot be deleted, saying they are parented. If I move something, save, then reopen the object will be in its original position.
New files, all done the same way with 2012 on the same computers are editing fine, but I still need to adjust some things in these old ones. Is there a way I can unlock these scenes so I can edit them? It would be lovely if I didn't have to do those frames all over again.
When I save, no error messages come up. However loading the files gives the log quite a bit to say.
file -f -new;
// untitled //
commandPort -securityWarning -name commandportDefault;
$gv_operationMode = "Open"; pv_performAction "/Volumes/TOSHIBA EXT/fallentest2.mb" "Best Guess";
file -f -options "v=0" -typ "mayaBinary" -o "/Volumes/TOSHIBA EXT/fallentest2.mb";addRecentFile("/Volumes/TOSHIBA EXT/fallentest2.mb", "mayaBinary");
requires "Mayatomr" "2011.0m - 3.8.1.33 ";
[Code] ......

We used references to run our project. And in these days, some files crashed when we saving it. Some file turned to be a 0Kb file. Some file dissapeared. And some file lost animation when we open it again. Is it the problem about our LAN evironment, hardware, software or anything else?

I've been using Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 for two years now, and for some reason it seems to have the problem of slowing down after using it for a while, so if I'm working on a project I have to keep closing it and reopening it to get it fast again. It's weird because it doesn't seem to matter how much stuff is on the canvas, it's just how much I've drawn and hit undo and erased or did anything, After like 5 minutes of straight work it just gets too slow for me to work in, like when I switch tools or change the color it takes a couple seconds to respond. So literally every couple minutes I have to restart Photoshop and open the same file.
What's really odd is that sometimes Photoshop will work perfectly fine and stay lightning fast for hours. Like, for the last couple of months it's been 100% fine, but since a few days ago it started to have this "slowing down" issue again. It can't be my computers specs or my settings in Photoshop, but I will tell you all of that anyway.

I am working with revit since 08, and there was this little annoying bug - in the middle of working process some levels become super slow - adding walls becomes a big task. At the beginning everything works great, but (I suspect) at some point I add curtain inside the room, something goes wrong and the level becomes slow.
It does not work even if I remove curtain walls or purge unused or duplicate window or make separate plan view - if floor area with several basic walls is visible level becomes slow.

We're having issues saving and importing skin weights, and mirroring these weights on our character meshes because our characters have some geometry that has been combined into their mesh (like eyebrows, fake spikey hair, eyelashes, etc)
Maya seems to take the UV's for all the combined meshes and stack layer them into the 0-1 space in the UV editor. When we save skin weights for the main mesh, the weighting maps are all messed up and useless for importing because they are based on UV's that are supposed to be clean and dedicated only to the main mesh.
how to save weights and mirror weights for meshes like ours?

So I got a sequence with a keylight effect, then I want to use auto-trace function.
The source is a 1080p mp4 but the effect is applied on about a quarter of the surface (that's to say I use a mask to cover the area I don't want to process)
The length is about 16 minutes.
Everything start smoothly frames are processed quiet well maybe 10 every 5 seconds and then it slows up after about three hours of processing I got maybe one frame per 5 seconds.
I've activated multriprocessing with 3 GB reserved for other programs. 1.5GB per core, it says 7 cores will be used.
You could refer screen capture below for CPU / Memory / Disk usage
My computer is :
CPU intel core I7 2600k
Asus p8z68-v pro/gen3
4x4 G.Skill F3-12800CL9D-8GBSR1 - Mémoire SNIPER Series - Dual Channel - DDR3-1600 (PC3 12800) - 9-9-9-24-2N - 1.35V
GPU Asus GTX 670
After Effets CC
Should I get 32GB of RAM as it seems to be limiting my cpu ? Any way to use GPU instead ?

I am using maya 2012 32bit on windows.
I've painstakingly oriented all the joints in my human ik skeleton and then saved the file out as a backup. When I reload the file and go to component mode to view the joint orientations they are all messed up again. I've gone through this process twice with the same results.

I'm now using Photoshop CS6 and I've noticed that selecting all layers is having a major drain of CPU.I've run Activity Monitor and with SAL on the %CPU is showing 238! This seems crazy, but I can't work out why? There must be an error in CS6?
Even without SAL on the %CPU is still reading 131.I am using the mixer brushes and I am aware that these are a big problem in PS, but should it be this bad?
My system:
Mac Pro
2x2.8 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon
10 GB 800 MHz DDR2
Only running OS and PS CS6 with 3 layers open..image 13M

I bought a font package and using photoshop to test my fonts always starts out okay. But by the time I cycle through say...40 options things go to hell in a handbasket and SLOOOOOW down. is it the fonts slowing me down? I have a 4gb RAM 2.4 ghz core duo. Is there another option I can use to test out fonts before putting them in photoshop?

I'm working on a PC in windows 7 and using CS5. I have Extensis Suitcase Fusion 3 for font management but someone told me that this may be why my Illustrator in particular is so slow. I frequently have to sit and wait for it to catch up to me while the top title bar says "Not responding". I don't want to give up my suitcase font manager - I really like it. Surely these programs can get along??

If I playback in fragment mode, the speed is ok. But if I playback in project mode the speed is a little slowing down.
How is this possible ?

Mark at DC:CADD, our AutoCAD vendor, sent us to:
Tools / Options / Thumbnail Preview Settings / Sheets and Views.We had our "Performance Accuracy" set to high.Setting it at the half-way mark improved things greatly.
HOWEVER, this setting turns back to "high" when AutoCAD is restarted.So, we saved the settings to a new Workspace.It there anyway to get the accuracy to remain as set?

I'm animating a scene with a lot of trees in the background. I'm using forest pack with proxies of xfrog trees. The scene needs to look as realistic as possible but unfortunately, even though they are proxies, the trees are killing my render time.
Any good way that I might be able enhance render time but keep the quality? Maybe another solution to placing trees without using forest pack/proxies?

I'm inserting automatically many references to a couple of dynamic blocks in an AutoCAD drawing using VB.NET. If the number of inserted references is not very big, it works fine but, if I´m inserting hundreds of them, I noticed the app is slowing down a lot.
After taking some measures of the time the app uses in its execution, I noticed changing the value of the block reference property is slower as the number of inserted block increases: it takes 10 or 20 miliseconds at the begining but it can take more than 1 second after inserting one thousand of block references (to the same block).This is the function I use to change the property values:
Protected Sub CambiarPropiedades(ByRef ed As Editor, _ ByRef br As BlockReference, _ByVal nombrePropiedad As String, _ ByVal valor As Double) Dim pc As DynamicBlockReferencePropertyCollection = br.DynamicBlockReferencePropertyCollection If br IsNot Nothing And br.IsDynamicBlock Then For Each prop As DynamicBlockReferenceProperty In pc If prop.PropertyName = nombrePropiedad Then prop.Value = valor '
This line takes a long time the first time I call this function for the ' same block reference but it is faster in the next calls . It also changes the block reference name (br.name) in the first call
Exit For End If Next End If End Sub.
Which I call to change all the properties I need to change in an inserted block reference:
CambiarPropiedades(ed, br, "h_testua", objElementoLaboratorio.POS_TEXTO) CambiarPropiedades(ed, br, "d_texto_hor", posxTexto) CambiarPropiedades(ed, br, "largo", objElementoLaboratorio.LARGO) CambiarPropiedades(ed, br, "fondo", objElementoLaboratorio.FONDO)
A weird thing I noticed is that when I call this function to change the first property of an inserted block, it also changes the .Name of the block reference.
Even if I change the order in the property modification, it takes always a lot in the first call, it does not depend on the property I´m changing.

Currently running Photoshop CS6 and a trial version of HDR Efex pro 2 downloaded from the official Nik website. The issue is simply this:
1. I click Merge multiple images or Merge to HDR Efex pro 2 in the file menu.
2. The program becomes unresponsive.
I can't select images, no box pops up for it. It just hangs..I can force quit with task manager and I can alt+tab to other windows, but the HDR efex 2 box and photoshop program can't be clicked, moved, or used at all. It is highly frustrating and I've reinstalled numerous times. I've also loaded up an old copy of CS5 that I had and the same thing happens.
I've recently reinstalled windows and previously CS 5 + HDR Efex worked fine, but since the reformat it now does this.

I'm not good at PSP at all, and I know I am not using the most current version, but it seems to fit my need. I have been working on an invitation to party, and have saved it multiple times. I got it to look the way I wanted, exited the program, but this morning when I try to re-open it, the entire program locks up. It it saved in the PSP format. The thumbnail looks good, but for some reason I can't get the thing to open.

Not having any other issues with my new system other than Photoshop CS. This has happened four times now and the last time was a trip. Running CS on a Mac dual G5 with 1GB ram...working on two image files approximately 20MB each.
This happens when saving a file...the spinning rainbow wheel of death will just spin and spin and I can't get access to Photoshop again. Can't force it to quit and it will eventually lock up my system so bad that I have to use the manual shut down button on the front of the system.
Yesterday it did this and the spinning wheel came up and my monitor went to sleep! Could not wake it up, then the fans kicked into overdrive and they kept getting louder and louder like the processor was cranking away on something. I had to force the computer to shut down again.
Any ideas what's causing this? My RAM allocation is set to 50% in Photoshop, so it should not be a ram issue and there are NO other programs running.

i do a couple of brushstrokes, especially with brushes larger than 50 pixels, the program locks up my computer. It worked just fine before, but then my video card broke, and i had to use my onboard card that takes 32 mb's out of the computer RAM. When i tried to use a friend's card, photoshop worked just fine! I've tried photoshop 6, 7, cs and cs3, none of them work, they all crash.

Problem just started. When I try to load PS7 it works fine until it gets to "sorting font list" then it locks up and won't load any further. I loaded PS6 just fine. I have both installed.
My OS is Win 98SE, 512 RAM. I have been having problems with motherboard and am running system in DOS. Need a new PCI card or motherboard. Could this be the problem? I have had the motherboard problem for about two weeks. But I have been running PS7 all day today several times without a hitch. I have not tried reinstalling yet. Wanted to check here first to see if problem has occured with someone before and they found solution.

From LR5.2 edit in Photoshop locks up LR and PS doesn't open. Only Task Manager frees up LR.This started happening out of the blue in the middle of a day working like this and not doing anything else.
It also happend six months ago with LR5.0. Then, it freed up when I removed a program I'd installed so assumed that was the cause. This time, I removed anything updated or installed in the past day but no effect. Also update ACR. No effect.
Searching this forum it appears similar problems go unresolved so particapants clearly give up and presumably the situation corrects itself ultimately. Or maybe it never does!! Who knows? Certainly not Adobe who never respond here. They shift responsibility to their customers to provide support for each other. Amazing cheek! Imagine if a motor company did that!! Oh, your car needs servicing, take it round to Joe Bloggs and leave it on his driveway...
I can't afford these hiccups and the lack of interest, concern or care from Adobe is galling. They are so big and ubiquitous that they feel they can ignore their customers. And they do and they get away with it.

I have been using Photoshop 7 for years on my Vista home premium laptop, with no problems. Now suddenly, today it has started crashing on startup and, worse, locking windows when it does so. I get a windows has stopped working error. I restart and if I try again with PS7 I get a similar result but now windows locks up totally and I have to push the power button to get out of it.
I have already tried uninstalling PS and reinstalling, but I get exactly the same effect.

I'm working along in PS CC (and this happened in CS6) and all is going fine. Then for some unknown reason the cursor changes to a hand and none of the tools will work. The only way to reset PS, is to restart the computer. Just restarting PS won't work.

CS6 locks up when I open a RAW file. Doesn't matter how I open the file. Other files open fine. This just started happening and I haven't changed anything on my PC. I'm running Windows 7 and have plenty of RAM.

I have just got CS6 and I am having problems with the brushes tool when drawing, moving a cursor values, moving images and so on. Although I am moving the brush, on screen it appears as if it wasn't moving at all, and the circle around the brush appear, as if the brush was stationary, and a line starts to appear around the brush cursor creating a circle, when this circle is complete, it bring the left-click menu (when using brush tool).
It's frustrating, becase a 5 min job ends up taking 20mins instead. I'm having to do really exaggerated cursor movements for the circle to not appear around the cursor and actually register movement, but by that point, the movement is so exaggerated that it messes up the drawing or piece I am working with..This didn't happen with CS3 when I was using it yesterday, but has been happening since the beginning with CS6.
