Long time PS user trying to make LR4 cooperate with Photoshop CS5

How can I "Edit in Photoshop" (ctrl+E) without having Lr4 dump the PSD in the middle of my raw files? Why is it even doing that?
I have everything tightly organized on disk, with strict separation between raw files and PSD master files, so this is really the last thing I need. All I want is a rendered file from Lightroom opened into Photoshop, and staying there, so I can save it from Photoshop. Is that at all possible?

Normally you don't get any message on editing in PS from Lightroom. It simply passes the file to PS to render (behind the scenes) using ACR. You get the warning if LR thinks the version of ACR in PS is older than the one built-in to LR. In this case, the safer option is to get LR to convert to TIF or PSD (whatever you've set in the edit option), and PS then opens this. Technically it will need ACR7 (with Photoshop CS6) to be fully compatible, but ACR6.7 is supposed to work (though with the RC version you still get the warning for some reason).
However, provided the version is compatible, or you choose "render in Lightroom" then the LR edits get through to CS.
As others have said, LR is pretty good for managing all versions of your files, and for that it makes sense to keep all the versions in the same folder. By default, the Photoshopped version is "stacked" alongside the raw.
In LR you may often have only one version of an image - the raw. If you need multiple LR-edited versions, Virtual Copies mean you still need only one file. If you use photoshop you get another (PSD or TIF) file (more if you have multiple edited versions), but I keep them all stacked together so I can see them in one place in LR. However, I don't have multiple further versions for web export, print export, an export for a gallery, another export for an album... Lightroom's "Collections" and export presets make it very easy to create temporary exports for a specific purpose (e.g. for the web). Then I delete the exported version once it's on the web (or whatever). If I need that web set again, I recreate it in LR from the originals - only takes a few clicks - which means I benefit from any further editing I've done.

Long time iPhone user trying to activate a VZ iPhone for friend and need advise on activating.

I've got a Mac running current versions of everything, the iPhone was plugged into iTunes and is updated, backed up and synced.
It won't activate.
I have tried:
*228
*Activation through VZ website. It recognized her last device and had her iPhone acknowledged as her new device and on the last step said it could not activate. her previous phone is an LG phone with a data plan and her account is compliant with specs ready for the iPhone.
*I called Verizon for tech support and the CSRs are freaking out and reading a provided script and saying there is no available tech support for the VZ iPhone until the 10th and they could not assist me with activation.
I've seen that people with the early delivery have had their phones activated and I'm wanting any advice on what else to try.
*228

Should it be off when I am doing something in particular to activate the iPhone and deactivate the LG?
Yes, the old phone must be turned off.
It's like this when replacing any phone on Verizon. If the old phone is on, the process won't work, and you generally get no helpful error message, just Activation Failed. And of course this always happens just when you are desperate to get that nice shiny new phone working!

Automator NOOB - wanna make it play with Photoshop CS5

I am looking to duplicate selected items, then replace the text " Copy" with the text "_scaled". So far I am able to do that very easily in Automator.But I then want to take those items and run them through a Photoshop action.
I am having to do it this way because I cannot get everything I want to accomplish in Photoshop actions (was trying to have PS run the action, then rename and save to the source folder).
Is it possible to do this?
Thanks in advance.

You can do it all in a Photoshop action. Create your action to do all of the processing you want done to your images. Save the action.
Now from within Photoshop, run File > Automate > Batch.
When the dialogue comes up, choose the Set and Action you created. At the bottom, where it shows Document Name, change the one to its right to _scaled. Go to the next line and change the blank entry under Document Name to extension.
All of your images will be processed according to your action, and have _scaled appended to the resulting file on the fly. So a file named test.tif will become test_scaled.tif.

I am a long time iTunes user but a new MacBook owner! I keep the majority of my music files on an external hard drive. I'm trying to view all those files on my MacBook through iTunes. With windows you would go to : File/Add To Library, and iTunes would add all your selected files to your music library BUT WOULD NOT COPY THEM TO YOUR HARD DRIVE. In other words, if the external hard drive was connected, you could listen, drag/drop, and edit the files. When I tried the same thing with my new MacBook... it actually started coping the files to my MacBook harddrive. I don't want that, it's millions and millions of mp3's that I don't want to keep on my computer, only my external hard drive. Can anyone help? I'm sure it's something easy, I'm just so new to the Mac world. Being an iPhone owner for many many years I'm picking up things fast, but this is getting the best of me! Help !

In iTunes 11 uncheck the preferences setting in in the iTunes Preferences panel "Advanced > Copy Files to iTunes Media folder when adding to Library"

Long-time Elements user who had planned for CS4, CS5 or CS6 on disk

As a long-time Elements user who had planned to purchase Photoshop CS4, CS5 or CS6 right before the Cloud changed everything, why can't I get the cloud subscription for $9.99? This makes me want to just buy an older disk on EBay or elsewhere.

why can't I get the cloud subscription for $9.99?
Are you trying to subscribe to the Photoshop Photography Program (PS+LR)?
That deal is available to anyone, regardless of whether you've purchased Adobe software in the past or not.
What is preventing you from subscribing?

Where are you located?
Just go and buy an iTunes gift card at any store in your country.
Then follow all the steps you did, but when it asks you for the credit card number, there shoujld be a GIFT CARD option which will let you load your account witht eh funds form the gift card without providing a credit/debit card #.

Hi Eric,
The message seems to totally disappear. It is going to an AOL customer in UK. I changed their address to start with a lowercase letter & the message was returned to me by AOL as undeliverable, I then changed the first letter of the address beck to upper case, the same I have been using for years, but again it disappeared.
I appreciate any help you can give me. Tks Gord.

Every time I am trying to open Quicktime files with my Quicktime it wants to convert the files. Why?

Every time I am trying to open Quicktime files with my Quicktime it wants to convert the files. Why?

QuickTime version 10.3 will "convert" older legacy codecs into a more modern version. You can save this newer version and delete the older one.
This can only mean that support for those codecs will be removed completely some time in the future.

So, I downloaded a slideshow templates and I'm trying to make a timelapse with 900 pictures converted into 30 fps to get a 30 seconds video but after exporting my movie why is my video length 15 minutes?

What settings are you using to export the video with? I think 29.97fps is the only one that works with LR 5:

Long-time Eudora user, rookie Mail user--have questions, need help!

Hi, all!
As the subject heading says, I've been using Eudora for a very long time (way past its shelf life) and have been playing around with Mail off and on over the past year. (Now, in Eudora's defense, the expiration date on it was a "Best by..." not a "Use by..." date and it's been working fantastically for years! )
I recently started to plunge into Mail more deeply and have a couple of questions.
1. Drafting vs. queuing.
I am used to Eudora's system where a bunch of drafted messages sit in an Outbox. They stay there until I flag QUEUE for the ones I'll eventually be mailing.
It's a good system. A quick look at the flags in the Outobx lets me know which I still to need to work on, and which ones are ready to go out (or need a final review before sending). The user then selects "Send Messages" and it e-mails the ones queued in the Outbox, but not the remaining draft emails that haven't yet been queued.
How do I set up something like that in Mail?
Right now, all I have is a list of draft messages and I cannot tell which ones are still really drafts and which are ready to be sent!
2. Work-around to try and mirror Eudora's system.
I tried creating a new mailbox called Queue, in which I can park the emails I've done editing. Of course, the problem with such a scheme is that when I want to send messages, I either have to put them back into the Drafts mailbox, from where I can select and send everything (including ones I haven't finished editing!), or drag them into Mail's Outbox where they go out instantly. That's a little freaky and I can see disasters happening (emails going out when I'm wanting to drag other messages to a different mailbox).
3. Disable auto-sending?
Is there a way of turning off and on the Outbox's automatic sending action? That could be the simplest solution for me. I'd really like to send messages only via a menu command--yet, from I've determined, Mail's Send menu command will send any messages selected in the Draft mailbox. Again, I see screw-ups with that as the wrong draft could be selected and Mail would send it out.
4. Display of badges for mailboxes.
This is more of a curiosity, but is there a way of having a user-created mailbox show how many e-mails are in there?
Solutions?
What do you all do as to work flow? How do you go about creating and revising a bunch of e-mails, but only sending out certain ones? And ensuring that only the ones you want to go out, go out?!

Thank you for posting all this info. Unfortunately i have no idea how to do flags and how to use a smart mailbox as a place to store emails i am not ready to send. Eudora is vastly superior in all the things it empowers the user to quickly and easily do, in the traditional Apple spirit of intuitiveness, clear direct normal (not esoteric) communicatioin and user friendliness.
about three weeks ago i was pretty much forced into Mountain Lion bcause my old MacBook is barely functioning at all and i got a new MacBook Pro. So, good bye Eudora that i've used since 1995, only because i couldn't find another mail program that did what it does. I wonder why there aren't others. I've tried MailForge, it's a great attempt but it seems to have run out of steam and isn't working well enough.
I am using Mail and Gmail. The result is i'm suffering a whole range of loss of functionality in email, and am not getting a lot of messages, they are here somewhere but i can't always find them, i have to go to my old computer, enduring a kind of freeze where a beachball is a sign of progress, a trackpad that barely works for drag and drop anymore and a battery that needs reaplacing. i think the hard drive is failing. but i still need it to retrieve my email reliably, to a poiint where i see i 'm going to have to put money into it so it can keep working, for email. what a poor solution. I am trying as best i can to have Mail communicate better.
i just wanted to thank you for your encouraging posts and giving me something to follow up on to try to use, to address this one of many loss of Eudora problems. Why wouldn't a mail program give you the option to queue mail? Why take away options and functionality? sorry, i'm just ranting because i've had a very frustrating last few weeks related to numerous new OS challenges, but email is the only really serious one.
I really like your idea of badges to show number of new messages, i think that's what you meant, you didn't say 'new', but another great and helpful thing about Eudroa is sorting mail into mail boxes and opening those mailboxes that get new mail each time you download mail, so you kow what's new. You can immediately see it. In Apple Mail, i find i have to dig through each of the 12 'on my mac' mailboxes/folders i created so far, to see if there is new mail in them. A lot of extra trouble for something that a superior email program can do for you.

GRC AC RAR - long time for user analysis

Hi all,
we have scheduled a Risk Analysys at permission level with 2.000 users. Looking at report log we see that each user is processed in around 2 seconds. The system seems to be freezed at 41% to a specific user. Now it is working on this single user since 2 hours.
Any suggestions to uderstand why it happens ?
What can we look at ?
Andrea

First of all check the Directory where you are storing the RTA extracts to get populated in RAR analysis engine. Also check the Batch Job daemon from your browser by using the url: http://<servername>:port/webdynpro/dispatcher/virsa/ccappcomp/BgJobStart?debug=1
Next check can be at connector level. Try to generate the Rule Set for all the Rule Ids. If the Rule set generation also takes longer time than earlier cases then you may need to check the following notes and their suggestions:
[Note 1121978 - Recommended settings to improve peformance risk analysis|https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap%28bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==%29/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=0001121978&nlang=E]

Also based on the DB you are using you may need to check some other notes as well. For e.g.:
1313116 - Performance issues when running Risk Analysis in RAR w/MaxDB
Also to be in the safer side make sure that you are on the updated support pack level. Like SP 14 atleast for AC 5.2 or SP 8 for AC 5.3

Long time windows user... opens up mbp for the first time?

Okay,
Im a long time advanced windows user.
But i know absolutely nothign about mbps or osx
I want to know anything i might not figure oput on my own
Im not talking about how programs work and stuff, im talking more abou the imporatant things, that might screw me up later if i dont know them
Some examples;
I read something about how i should reinstall tiger when i get my mac. is that true?
what is firmware, and how do i update it?
I read someth9ing about leaving my mac on at night so it can do system tasks, more info on this..?
and,, i read that i shyould be completely draining the battery at least once a week or something...?
the stuff like that,
remember, ive never used a mac before
kthanks:)
UPDATE: this is unrelated but still, when i use boot camp, does wireless work? And howabout isight?
And; are most of the issues with vista drivers and such worked out with boot camp?
Thanks:)

I read something about how i should reinstall tiger when i get my mac. is that true?
Some people advocate that, but I've never found it to be necessary. Such advice presumes that something can go amiss with the factory software load. So you can if you wish, but I feel it's unnecessary effort.
what is firmware, and how do i update it?
Firmware is the built-in programs that tell the basic hardware how to operate; how to find the hard drive and start from it, etc. BIOS is the equivalent in the Windows world. If firmware updates are released, they'll appear in the Mac OS X Software Update and instructions on what to do will be provided.
I read someth9ing about leaving my mac on at night so it can do system tasks, more info on this..?
There are some basic UNIX tasks - clearing log files and such - that run at night and only run if the system is awake. Unless you go months without allowing your computer to stay awake, or running the tasks manually (there are a number of freeware utilities that make this easy), then you don't have to worry. The logs can get a bit large, but with modern hard drives, you're not likely to ever notice.
i read that i shyould be completely draining the battery at least once a week or something...?
Not correct. You do want to run the battery down to where the computer goes to sleep so that the power manager is calibrated, but once a week is far too often and will reduce the life of your battery. Once a month is the most I'd recommend, and once every couple of months would probably be adequate. For more information on managing your battery, see:
