Are Photoshop and OS fully updated?
As with all unexplainable Photoshop-problems you might try trashing the prefs (after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed) by pressing command-alt-shift on starting the program or starting from a new user-account.
System Maintenance (repairing permissions, purging PRAM, running cron-scripts, cleaning caches, etc.) might also be beneficial, Onyx has been recommended for such tasks.

Weeding out bad fonts never seems to be a bad idea, either. (Validate your fonts in Font Book and remove the bad ones.)
If 3rd party plug-ins are installed try disabling them to verify if one of those may be responsible for the problem.

User can only save files to desktop.

Hello,
We recently purchased/deployed a MacPro workstation w/Snow Leopard v10.6.8 to a member of our Marketing Dept. The server is bound to our Active Directory domain and the domain user account has local admin rights.
We copied files over from another Mac. However, this user can only save to his desktop and not directly to other folders on the HDD. He can copy files from the desktop to other folders, but is prompted for admin credentials each time.
I've located the following article that discusses the "Repair Privileges" utility, but I hesistate to proceeed without being a little more certain.
Suggestions?
TIA, Tom W.

Window users can't save my pictures i do sent by email

Hello,
Since i upgrade to OS X Lion Window users can't save photo's i do sent them by email. Before the upgrade it was never a problem.
They do receive the mail. When they open it they do see the photos but not as an attatchment. So no jp(e)g attachments...just the photo in the mail.
But whatever they do or try they just can't save the pictures i do mail them.
I also selected "Sent Windows used attatchemnt"....and all other things..nothing helps.
Who can help since i need to mail many pictures each day to window users.
I would really be thankfull.

It's a known issue with embedded images in Outlook.
It comes up with Mail on Lion cause Apple has decided to redesign Mail more close to the mail standards for better compatibility with the majority of mail applications.
Unfortunately Windows Outlook handle mail in a more proprietary way and not the way almost all other mail applications will do.
A workaround for Windows Outlook users is described in the knowledge base article behind the following link.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917120
A workaround for Apple users is only to put the file in a compressed folder (e.g. ZIP) prior of attaching to the mail.

I want to edit properties of the interface windows opened while "Open File", "Save Page As" and interface opened during Downloading of any file.

I am doing a small project on dedicated web client where in user automatically logs in non-root user and Firefox automatically starts.
I am using Fedora 14 kernel 2.6.35.12-88.fc14.i686 and Firefox 3.6.16.
I have installed only Gnome in my computer with no Nautilus or other file browser on it.
I want to edit properties of the interface windows opened while "Open File", "Save Page As" and interface opened during Downloading of any file.
Please guide me for this.

First, I sent an email to the author of PhotoME to inform him of the serious issues his addon caused with Firefox latest versions.
Now, for those of you who do not have the PhotoME addon and yet experience the same problem that I had and that I described above, I suggest the following strategy.
As PhotoME did cause these problems with Firefox latest versions, I am pretty covinved other addons probably might cause these problems too. Therefore, adopt the following method.
Test one addon at a time to see if this particular addon is behind your Firefox issues like the ones I had.
So, disable one addon only at a time. Then close your Firefox and restart it from scratch and see if you still have your Firefox problems. You must restart the Firefox browser from scratch. If you still have these Firefox problems, re-enable the disabled addon, restart your Firefox (again!) and repeat the same method for every single addon that you have.
Try to be selective by choosing first addons that are more likely to cause your Firefox problems such as not very well-known or not very popular addons (like it was the case for the PhotoME addon).
If this method works or if it does not work, report it on this web page so that others can be helped with your comments.
I hope this method will help you because I was really upset that I had these Firefox problems and I first thought it was the fault of Firefox, only to discover later that this PhotoME addon was the culprit and had caused me such upset.

A particular network user can't login to a mac in a classrom but other network users can. Then the network user can login to other identical macs in same classroom. Anyone seen this before?

A particular network user can't login to a mac in a classrom but other network users can. Then the network user can login to other identical macs in same classroom. Anyone seen this before? It has happen twice. Two different teachers in two different classrooms entering the correct user name and passwords and computer won't allow them to login. Then they try in different computers in same classroom and have no problem login.

Yes. I can login with a test user. And any other network user can login as well to this particular mac. Actually the mac has bootcamp and boots into either mac or windows. The same user entering the same login username and password can login into the windows side, but not the mac side.
I had this same issue last semester in another classroom, another mac and a different teacher. This summer I reformatted and imaged that mac and I asked that teacher to login today to that reimagened mac and she had no problem today doing so.

How do I restore a file to iTunes after I deleted it using Keep File?

I wanted to shorten the list of visible files in my laptop's iTunes Music folder without losing the actual music. So I selected Keep File. Now I want to bring some of that music back.
How do I restore a file to iTunes after I deleted it using Keep File?

Assuming the track file is still there, either use the Add To Library command under the File menu in iTunes and select the tracks you wish to add back into the iTunes library, or find the track files on your hard drive and drag them into the iTunes window.

After share moved to new Server User can't save .xls file anymore.

Dear Forum,
we have a strange problem here. Situation:
A fileshare got moved from a very old Server 2000 to our new 2008 R2 Server. Ever since the departments share moved Servers she (and her colleagues) get "unsuspected file lock by user" messages. Even if they unlock it and change something they
can't save it.
There was a file lock from that user even though she wasn't logged in. We removed that.
There were some crude inherited rights from the old share. We purged them and the rights should be ok. (effective file permission says so, too!)
Her tmp files were deleted.
I for example can access the file without problem.
We are currently out of ideas and any help is apreciated.

Excel not letting user save to shared drive, only user using the files, yet it says someone else is using the file.

I have seen this problem discussed before, but have never seen a clear cut solution.
I have a user using Excel 2013. She can create and open files locally, but when she tries to move or save to a shared network drive, she gets the error "Someone else is working in (shared drive/filename) please try again later. She's the only one using
the file most of the time.
I have done a repair on the Office installation, but the user is still having the issue, and I need to remedy this. She has appropriate file/folder permissions on the network. Really stuck on this one.

Hi,
As we know, Office creates TMP files like "$.tmp file" when you open a document. Saving does not delete the files if we still have them open. And this issue occur with network drive not local disk, so
it might be caused with the account permission of the network drive. If your user has no delete permission, the temp file might be not delete after closed the file. Please try to check the permission first.
Then, if there are some mistaken operations when using the files in network drive, we could delete the temp file manually, and then the error would disappear. Please see the similar thread:

PC users can't save PDF form data from form created on Mac

I'm trying to create a PDF form for a client that will be accessing the form on a PC. However, when the client opens the form, a message appears saying that any data filled in the form cannot be saved and the document must be printed. If the client tries to "Save As" a message appears saying the form will be saved without the data. This defeats the whole purpose of using PDF forms.
What can I do to allow my client to save data in the form? When I check the permissions on my end, there is no security and no restrictions.
Developer environment:
Acrobat 9 Pro
OSX Snow Leopard
Client environment:
Windows 7
Acrobat Pro X

Thanks for the quick response, Karl.
The client downloaded the trial version of Pro X, to verify that the form works before buying. Would the trial version impose restrictions?
The client does not want to store data on a server. He wants the form to function as a template that he can save-as to customize. The completed forms will be shown on the computer as a part of a presentation, sometimes without Internet access.
I tried using the Advanced > Extend Form Features options to enable to ability to save form data, but when I tested the PDF on my PC (Vista, latest version of Reader) I got an error message along the lines of "this document has been modified from previous version, please get a copy of the original" and all form fields are gone.
I'm currently downloading the trial of Pro X so I can test the PDF.
I am also using a Javascript to allow the client to place photos in the document. This is achieved using a button with a Javascript attached to it: event.target.buttonImportIcon();
This works correctly in my environment, but could it be screwing up the file as it's opened on a PC?

Can you recommend an iPad app to open and edit MS Excel files?

Hi,
I need an iPad app that would enable me to do the following with a MS Excel file:
Import the file from Dropbox
Edit and save the file
Export the edited file back to Dropbox
Can anyone recommend an app that can do the above?
Thanks
Daniel

Thanks for the feedback. I have read the reviews of both apps and they are not that great. The DropBox functionality seems to work finenwith both apps.
I want to use the spreadsheet on both my iPad and PC. The reviews of both apps mention that some reformatting of the .xls file can occur when saving it in the app. Have any of you experienced this? I will only be using the app for simple .xls files with normal/simple formulas. Nothing complicated at all. I might use it for Word files, but I have no use for PowerPoint. The only time I might use the PowerPoint functionality is if I happen to receive such a file via email. I'm still using Office 2003 with no intention to upgrade anytime soon as it is just fine for my needs.
The QuickOffice Pro HD app is currently on sale for $11.99 whereas the Documents to Go Premium app that supports DropBox is $16.99. D2G is an universal app and QOP is not.
Any suggestions on which app is the better one would be appreciated.

Docs&settings only shows bookmarks from Int Explorer used previously, not Moxilla. How can I save the bookmarks which are shown correctly when using MF?

I want to save my bookmarks as I have done periodically since 2000 using Xp.
For copying to F drive or USB, procedure is open C drive, Documents and settings, my name, Favorites
I have hundreds of sorted bookmarks which I update fairly often.
Changed to MF about five years ago.
It looks like nothing has been added to the Favorites within Documents and Settings since then - all have the blue Int. Explorer logo, none in Moxilla colours.
I was unaware of this as all bookmarks are shown correctly to left of desktop.

There are three basic options
#You can backup the bookmarks in a form that Firefox can use. And these include any tags with them. See [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
#Firefox stores History in the same database: '''places.sqlite'' the whole of that or even the whole of the profile may be backed up if necessary. See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
#You may back them up by '''export / import''' as HTML. These are the same sort of files as is used for IE favourites / favorites. (These will append or tack on to existing bookmark collections) See [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]]
CARE if you restore bookmarks from a backup it overwrites your existing bookmarks so always back them up manually before doing any restore.
Firefox creates its own library of bookmarks. It is possible to add HTML files from IE to these. You will not be able to make sense of Firefox's .json or .sqlite files other than by allowing them to be used within Firefox. The HTML files may probably be opened directly by Firefox or some other programs such as Word Processors.

Using network file share with iPhoto 08

Hello all: I am a new "switcher". My home network consists of a windows machine and my new imac, with a linux file server which I use to store all data files including my family's extensive photo library.
Back in windows land I was able to just point Picassa to the photo directory on my server and in this way all computers could share the same photo files.
I need to figure out how to do this with iPhoto 08. When I tried doing this yesterday, iPhoto wanted to copy over to my imac all our photos from the server. This is not exceptable.
I am able to do a similar thing with iTunes, where all our music lives on our linux server, but each computer can see and use the files from the server.
Thanks very much for the hand-holding, Chris.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Simply go to iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck 'Copy Files to the iPhoto Library on Import'.
Now iPhoto will not copy the files, but rather simply reference them on your HD. It will create an alias to the Original file, a thumbnail and, if you modify the pics, a Modified version.
However, you need to be aware of a number of potential pitfalls using this system.
1. Import and deleting pics are more complex procedures
2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them
3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
Always allowing for personal preference, I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organisers.
