2. Re: CS4 Crashes
Chris Cox Oct 30, 2008 3:02 PM (in response to NotInUse)Scott - that crash is pretty deep inside OS code.
Yes, it could be due to using the OLDGPU plugin - trying to make your driver do things it is not supposed to do.
If you use that plugin, you are taking a huge risk. You should not be relying on that plugin at all. -
3. Re: CS4 Crashes
NotInUse Oct 30, 2008 3:04 PM (in response to NotInUse)Thanks Chris,
I knew there were risks with the plug in. I did read the doc :)
the issue is though, without the plug in my nVidia 8800 card isn't seen at all and GL is not available. I think related to a problem with two, different, video cards being installed.
Seems I'm going to have to choose... GL, no GL, remove a video card, or continue to use PSCS3. -
4. Re: CS4 Crashes

5. Re: CS4 Crashes
NotInUse Oct 30, 2008 5:48 PM (in response to NotInUse)Good point.
I'm not pointing fingers, please don't take it that way. i know my set up is far from standard. I'm sure given 6 months it'll work fine. -
6. Re: CS4 Crashes
(g_ballard) Oct 30, 2008 8:01 PM (in response to NotInUse)>>contact Apple and ask why 2 supported cards don't work when installed together.
Actually good advice if you have warranty left Apple looked into my repeatable CS3 ACR/Bridge/Photoshop crashes and were able to say the stock hardware and operating system was good, so they might have a clue if their video cards are bringing PS down... -
7. Re: CS4 Crashes
Wade S Zimmerman Oct 30, 2008 8:33 PM (in response to NotInUse)You have the wrong card i would say you either have a newer Intel or you have a newer card.
You have to have as i said the one that Apple has Manufactured for the original MacPro.
As I mentioned already you can get the card cheaper but it is of no use.
And if you paid less then I did then you did not buy the proper card. It cost $279.00 plus tax.
BTW PS CS 4 does not crash here at all no matter what and the 8800 is clearly read and is shown to support Open GL and all functions as it should. -
8. Re: CS4 Crashes
NotInUse Oct 30, 2008 9:10 PM (in response to NotInUse)Wade,
Please, I have to correct card. Purchased from Apple directly for my model, based on the serial number. The incorrect card wouldn't even be seen due to the lack of PCI Express 2.0. It's astounding to me how you always assume you know exactly what everyone else should do. Even in spite of the fact you don't have any experience in the matter.
If you don't have an 8800 and a 7300 installed you can't compare your system to mine. Install both and plug in three monitors. Then your posts on this matter may have a little weight. Simply spouting off that I'm wrong is not helpful. This ain't my first rodeo.
For others... my plan of attack..... Reinstall OS10.5.0 from scratch and the Adobe Design Premium CS4 on a separate partition tomorrow and test. If it's still as unstable as it has been today, I'll call Apple. -
9. Re: CS4 Crashes
Wade S Zimmerman Oct 30, 2008 9:44 PM (in response to NotInUse)Oh I see I apologize, whether they are right or not Tekserve said you can't do it. I was thinking the same thing.
That was wht gthey said in relation to the 8800.
I will be looking at your situation and it might decide for me if I should finally install my Black Magic card? -
10. Re: CS4 Crashes
NotInUse Oct 30, 2008 10:43 PM (in response to NotInUse)Further confirmation.
Found a thread at Apple related to the same issues I've been having. That user had the ATI card and a 7300 card installed and was reportedly experiencing very similar issues as I've seen. He posted that he removed the 7300 and everything is solid and as it should be.
I'll call Apple and complain, then possibly remove my secondary card for a bit and learn to live with only two monitors until Apple addresses the issue. -
11. Re: CS4 Crashes
Ann Shelbourne Oct 31, 2008 10:27 AM (in response to NotInUse)Scott:
The Adobe TechNote on suitable cards for CS4 specifically mentions difficulties with the 7300 cards and that they have had to make Advanced Drawing unavailable to users of the 7300.
If you need three monitors, you probably need to try using a second 8800 instead of the 7300? -
12. Re: CS4 Crashes
NotInUse Oct 31, 2008 3:29 PM (in response to NotInUse)That doesn't appear to be the issue Anne. Although I did think of it. The 7300 card is only driving the third monitor now. Photoshop never uses that monitor. Photoshop is restricted to the two monitors driven by the 8800.
In addition, when I had 2-7300s installed I didn't experience ANYTHING like the instability that now exists. After searching and reading a few more forums it seems fairly clear that the issue is multiple cards that aren't identical.
I'm confident that the issues would go away if I purchased a second 8800 card. But, honestly, why spend the $300 just to drive my third monitor?
I sent about 15 crash reports to Apple yesterday. I'll continue to send reports while using CS3 and carefully using CS4 until Apple releases an update. If it gets just unlivable, I'll pull the 7300 card and deal without the 3rd monitor for a bit. -
13. Re: CS4 Crashes
(g_ballard) Oct 31, 2008 3:47 PM (in response to NotInUse)>> I sent about 15 crash reports to Apple yesterday
the cool thing about that if you get their attention (like I did with Apple Care, Case Number) they can call up all those reports with your serial number -
14. Re: CS4 Crashes
NotInUse Nov 1, 2008 9:00 AM (in response to NotInUse)And those were just the ones I clicked "send" on :)
Most often crashes occur when creating a new layer, duplicating a layer, or adjusting Layer styles. -

17. Re: CS4 Crashes
NotInUse Nov 1, 2008 11:48 AM (in response to NotInUse)>Is the 7300 card still installed?
Yes but so is an 8800 card. I haven't resolved myself to removing the 7300 yet. I have 3 monitors because I use 3 monitors so I'm hesitant to give that up. I did pull the 7300 and test. With only the 8800 installed everything runs wonderfully.
>I am getting a lot of crashes too. Got 6600 card, no extra plug-ins. Thanks Adobe for shipping yet another unfinished product!
Please read the thread. My issues are Apple's problem. Not due to Photoshop. Photoshop CS4 runs EXCEPTIONALLY well on my MacBookPro. It's merely the two video cards in the MacPro that cause an issue. With matching video cards or one video card the MacPro runs Photoshop CS4 wonderfully. -

nothing crashes. CS3 does not crash. it is PsCS4 only
HOW can you have CS4 for 8 months? -

(HEAD_Productions) Nov 2, 2008 5:17 PM (in response to NotInUse)Well if he was using it for 8 months it was still the the final copy. And maybe Ps didn't take something that is on my system into account. I love Ps. Just want it to work. Sending those crash reports to Apple and Adobe. Maybe they'll help. -
24. Re: CS4 Crashes
Ramón G Castañeda Nov 2, 2008 6:31 PM (in response to NotInUse)Buko and Ann have the advantage of running CS4 on PPC machines under 10.4.11.
>Sending those crash reports to Apple and Adobe. Maybe they'll help.
They will help, to the extent Apple forwards them to Adobe. -
25. Re: CS4 Crashes
(HEAD_Productions) Nov 2, 2008 6:37 PM (in response to NotInUse)>They will help, to the extent Apple forwards them to Adobe.
When Ps crashes both Apple and Adobe feedback boxes come up.
>Buko and Ann have the advantage of running CS4 on PPC machines under 10.4.11
Really? You guys are running 10.4.11? -
26. Re: CS4 Crashes
(PShock) Nov 2, 2008 7:06 PM (in response to NotInUse)Scott-
I think your only option is a second 8800.
Everything Ive read suggests it's NEVER been advisable to run two different makes of GPUs in Mac Pros. Notice you can't configure it this way when buying a new machine. I think you'll be waiting a LONG time if you wait for a 'fix' from Apple. (As in it won't happen.)

i wouldn't count on adobe for much help with crash logs...i still can't get cs3 stable in my particular workflow...i've sent adobe close to 15 crash logs...just sent them another one today...they all end in the same line just before "crash"...it seems adobe has moved on to cs4 before finishing cs3...at least you would think 15 crash logs that all end with the same line would offer a clue, but apparently not... -
28. Re: CS4 Crashes
Wade S Zimmerman Nov 2, 2008 7:16 PM (in response to NotInUse)HEAD
Is it possibly that you have different software and Fonts installed on your Mac? Could it be that you have a conflict that Buko does not have issues with on his Mac as well?
Could you possibly be having hardware problems?
Of course it is possible that you have stumbled on issues that simply he has not encountered,
but then one might have to pinpoint the problem to make it possible for Adobe to address the issue(s).
Are there repeatable stePs that can be taken to reproduce these crashes/ -

(HEAD_Productions) Nov 2, 2008 7:26 PM (in response to NotInUse)Clean machine. No Extra fonts. Crashes a lot when saving. No other apps crash, including CS3. Have not looked at the crash reports closely, working on a project. And yes still sticking with CS4! (Ran CS3 for about 8 hrs - no crash) -
30. Re: CS4 Crashes
Ramón G Castañeda Nov 2, 2008 7:29 PM (in response to NotInUse)Yes, we're running 10.4.11 on non-Intel machines (Buko, Ann and I). I don't have CS4 yet, but I'm not going anywhere near Leopard, ever. -

NotInUse Nov 3, 2008 10:56 AM (in response to NotInUse)Well I bit the bullet and purchased another 8800 card. So I will then be running identical cards again. We'll see how that works tomorrow.
Anyone in the market for an nVidia 7300GT card cheap? -
37. Re: CS4 Crashes
(Steven_Scotten) Nov 3, 2008 3:39 PM (in response to NotInUse)I've been seeing a number of freezes in CS4 too. Have to force-quit after waiting 30 minutes to twelve hours for response maybe a dozen times each week. I'm on the 8800GT but I haven't tried disabling fonts yet (all I have are the ones that came from Apple and the ones that came on the CS4 distribution).
I've been sending my reports in to Apple, but I haven't seen the Adobe crash reporter come up in at least a week. Is it possible I accidentally disabled it? Is there a way to reenable it? I guess really my question is: if I have disabled it by accident, how do I go about reenabling the crash reporter? -
38. Re: CS4 Crashes
NotInUse Nov 3, 2008 3:43 PM (in response to NotInUse)Steven, are you running just one 8800 or multiple cards? My issues are related to multiple graphics cards and, as Chris so kindly posted, it seems the crashes are at the OS level so the Adobe crash reporter never gets called. -
39. Re: CS4 Crashes
(g_ballard) Nov 3, 2008 4:57 PM (in response to NotInUse)>> it seems the crashes are at the OS level so the Adobe crash reporter never gets called.
If that's a correct theory, is what you are saying, if the Apple crash reporter gets called it's an Apple problem, if the Adobe crash reporter gets called up it's an Adobe problem?
