Weird issue with Bridge CC and vector masked TIFF files

For some reason in Bridge CC my vector masked transparent backgrounds in my tiff files are showing. I didnt have this issue with CS6. only way to fix it is for me to flatten my image and resave it as a tiff without the mask. Any option i need to click on?

We don't even know what platform (Mac or Win) or version of the OS you are running.
Also: Are you aware that the latest version of Photoshop is not "CC" but CC2014v14.2.2 ?

A few weird issues with my Z2 and charging !

Hello guys,
My Z2 is having some really weird issues (not exactly issues but still)
1) If i am using magnetic charger and if i am charging from less than 15%, it takes like 8hrs to get to 50% or near 50%. But if i am using the normal chager, i am able to get 100% in around 2ish hrs from 15%.I am facing this magnetic charging issue only if the battery % is less than 15%. I use the same charger for both cables. Both cables are original sony products. If the initial battery charge is greater than 15%, then magnetic charger works normally and charges up fast...But if its less than 15%, then it acts weird.
2) I am able to get 270 Rotation on the desktop screen ONLY when the phone is being charged. Even though i have the auto rotation ON, it doesnt change the rotation in the app drawer or on the initial screen. Once i connect the phone to charge, it can rotate to any side.
3) The Super Vivid mode gets resetted to NONE randomly.... Why is this ?
Can somebody help me with these questions ?
Thankyou !

2) that is normal if you want the home launcher to rotate without the need of the dock or magnetic cable you'll need to download a third party home launcher.

Weird issue with to dos and notifications

I am running iCal 2.0.3, on 10.4.3, on my 12" PowerBook 1.5 GHz, with 768 MB of RAM. I use iCal quite a bit, and am currently running two calendar groups with three sub-calendars each. Lately, I am having to quit and re-start iCal a lot. Here's why: when the machine comes back from sleep, notifications will pop up, but I can't edit them, close them, anything, really. If I quit iCal and re-start it, everything is fine for a while. This seems to happen at least twice a day. I have verified and repaired permissions, checked the disk, run my maintenance scripts, etc, and the problem still exists. The only thing I do that is perhaps a tad out of the ordinary is run the machine connected to an external monitor at home, with the lid closed, and then on the native display on my desk at work. It gets plugged and uplugged at least twice a day.
Anyone have any thoughts on this? It's really become quite maddening. Thanks.

Update:
I am now unsure if the problem was actually solved, or just unnoticed for a couple days. It has now returned, but I have a greater understanding now of exactly what is happening.
Here's the deal. At work, I use my PowerBook by itself, but at home, I use it with a Samsung SyncMaster 172N display, usually with the PB closed, but occasionally I span, and use both displays. The problem seems to occur only after disconnecting or reconnecting the display. Originally, I thought that that iCal was not responing for some reason, but after some frenzied clicking around, I noticed that when I clicked on a notification info window, the calendar drop down opened up, even though I wasn't clicking anywhere near it. Somehow, the location of the info window on the display is not jiving with the location as perceived by Swearingen, my PowerBook, internally, if you know what I'm saying. Actually, I should say it seems like the contents aren't jiving, as the silver bar at the top and bottom of the info window are still clickable, and the window can be dragged around. In fact, dragging the window around a bit, or even just clicking on the silver bar seems to "realign" the contents of the window, and then everything is fine, and I don't have to quit iCal and reopen the app to get things happening again. So, I am not sure how to solve this problem, but I now have a better way to deal with it. I am hoping this issue will be dealt with in a future release of iCal. I wanted to post further information on this to make it clearer in case anyone else runs into this issue.

Weird issue with pm-suspend and libatasmart

Hi everyone,
i got serious problems with suspending to disk. I run an Asus F5SL Laptop and after suspension the waking up process produces an error which looks like this in the error.log:

Feb 6 20:03:02 localhost kernel: sr 0:0:0:0: timing out command, waited 120s
and if i then want to suspend again I get following message in the error.log:
localhost kernel: Freezing of tasks failed after 20.01 seconds (1 tasks refusing to freeze, wq_busy=0):
This means I can only suspend once everytime i boot up. I'm searching the internet and working around with this issue for more than one week now and the latest I found is: When I delete /usr/lib/libatasmart.so.4.0.3 and /usr/lib/libatasmart.so.4 i can suspend to disk as often as I want but i still get the error as the one above, just without the kernel timing out command.
I try to provide some more Information about my system:
The pm-suspend.log is not very informative as I use laptop-mode:

Removing libatasmart is not really an option for me because I use Gnome and libatasmart is necessary for automounting as I understand.
Does anyone have any advices? What else can I provide for you to understand the problem? Is it a bug and how to file it? Where can I read more about problems like this?
Thank you for any help.

After some time I recognized that I went into the wrong direction before. I got, that my real problem is not libatasmart, but the module sr_mod which is timing out and causing ksoftirqd to run with 100% cpu-usage of one processor thread (which is very nice, because otherwise the kernel would crash because of all the soft interrupts). So I went on and removed sr_mod temporarily.
rmmod sr_mod
This works pretty well for me since I can suspend now as much as I want and the system wakes up after all. I still get this small message:
ata1: ACPI set timing mode failed (status=0x300b)
after resume, but this seems not to be a bigger problem.
The more interesting thing is, that you can not mount CDs or DVDs if you remove sr_mod from the kernel, because that is what I think it is made for. As I still like to use this type of media, it is pretty annoying, that I can't
modprobe sr_mod
after a resume, because than I get a lot of small soft interrupts and sr_mod is timing out again.
Btw: I use a laptop with a SIS 966 chipset. Might that cause all the trouble? Can anyone think of any further reading or trying or bugreporting?

Weird issue with HP Photosmart and HPLIP 3.9.10

I have a wireless printer, HP C6380. This printer is correctly installed in both my laptop and my desktop, both running arch64, KDE4, with latest updates. However, the driver on my desktop displays a maximum resolution of 600x600, while my laptop correctly displays a maximum resolution of 1200x1200 Any clues?

Actually, I couldn't print from my laptop, so I reinstalled latest hplip and had the same issue: no 1200dpi option. However, I downgraded hplip to version 3.9.8 and the option for 1200dpi appeared again, so something is wrong with version 3.9.10. I have also posted the issue in hplips forums.

Very weird issue with server logging when using log4j.properties file

I'm using log4j logging. In log4j.properties the root logger is set up to use the ServerLoggingAppender class so that all our application logs go to the main server logfile. In addition, there are several appenders defined for specific components, with output going to specific per-component log files. Everything is going fine until I launch the server console. At this point all of those per-component log files get wiped out (zero length) and some non-ASCII lines are written to at least one of these files, after which the logs appear to be fine. The main server log file does not appear to be affected (because the root logger is set to "warn" level, while component-specific loggers are set to trace, the contents in these files is different; however I tried disabling all the other appenders and turning the root logger up to trace, and that still did not re-create the problem in the main server log file.
And here's the really weird part -- if I use the same configuration, but in a log4j.xml file, the problem does not happen.

Figured it out.
We were passing in the configuration for log4j as -Dlog4j.configuration=file:/<properties file> and this was added to the command line for both the managed and admin servers. Problem is that the console app starts its own instance of log4j, and when it reads the configuration for the appenders it initializes or rolls over the files. At some point we have two JVMs accessing the same files, so some corruption is bound to happen.
I'm not clear why the .xml file made a difference, but earlier we had been passing the log4j configuration as a jar file placed in the domain/lib folder, so perhaps the designer reverted to that (placed the log4j.xml file in a jar in lib, and not simply changed the -Dlog4j.configuration=file:/ option.

How do I resolve issues with missing layers when opening a Tiff file from Photoshop CS5.1?

I am downloading Tiff images from a partners website. After extracting the file and opening from Photoshop CS5.1 it's only displaying one of the original image layers. For example and image with two guys shaking hands in an office is only opening the clipped two guys and not showing the backgroud. The vendor says the files open fine on their end which leads me to believe its a download or photoshop issue. Any recommendations?

Thanks Curt... I don't think my explanation was clear. I'm downloading an image from an external webiste. The image downloads in a ZIP archive. After extracting from the Zip file, I go into photoshop and do file open. Only part of the image appears. It looks as if it's the top layer of a photoshop image but since I didn't build the image, I'm not certain it was built with multiple layers. Any ideas?

Issue with setting ratings and labels

Greetings all. I am having an issue with setting ratings AND labels on image files at the same time. If the script sets the label first then the rating, the label doesn't show in Bridge. If the script sets the rating first then the label, the rating doesn't show in Bridge.
Is there a workaround for this? Here is my script function for doing this. file=filename minus extension. Rating is a number for the desired rating. lab is a number for the level of Label I wish to set. Everything works great except that I can't set both Rating and Label with the script as shown. In this instance, only the Ratings will show up in Bridge after running the script. If I move the x.label=Label line under the x.rating=Rating line, then the ratings only show for those images with no label (lab=0). Any image that gets a label receives no rating.
If you're going to test this, you may want to comment out the Collections part. That's the part within the "switch(Number(Rating))" block.
function setRating(file,Rating,lab) {
    try{
        cr=File(file+"CR2");
        psd=File(file+"psd");
        jpg=File(file+"jpg");
        tif=File(file+"tif");

Afew errors to start with, you were not creating a proper file as there wasn't a fullstop in the filename.
If a CR2 file didn't exist no other file was looked for, you were using "created" and should have been "exists"
This now labels and rates....

Camera RAW update issue with Bridge CS6

Hi folks,
I recently installed a routine update for Camera RAW 8.4 and now have a bunch of issues with Bridge including -
- No previews or ratings showing
- Ratings filter not working
- Can't open images directly into Camera RAW without first opening Photoshop (ie - keyboard shortcut not working and File menu command "Open in Camera raw" not available)
- Can't access or open Camera RAW preferences
I've tried resetting Bridge to default settings but didn't help and ACR still works fine opening in PS. I've attached two screenshots to show the problem better.
Anyone else having these problems? Any solutions?

This should fix it: Camera Raw 8.4 | No metadata or Camera Raw edit

Problem with Bridge CS6 and MCXRedirector (OS X 10.9.5)

Good afternoon all, I have a very irritating issue with Bridge CS6 that I've pretty much given up on now, so I'm wondering if anyone out there can help me before I do.
The issue lies with Bridge CS6 running in a networked Mac environment, first, a little background: I am using OS X Server's Workgroup Manager facility for various restrictions and folder redirection. Our users had a nasty bug a little while ago that caused saved Photoshop files to end up in ~/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems instead of the actual network home location they selected to save in. While this was happening, a single entry was being used in the MCXRedirectory preference to redirect the entire of ~/Library/Caches/
This was resolved by changing that preference and branching it out a little more, so now the folders subject to redirection are as follows:
~/Library/Caches/Adobe
~/Library/Caches/Adobe Camera Raw
~/Library/Caches/Meta
~/Library/Application Support/Adobe
Doing this fixed the saving issue with Photoshop, but has in turn broken Bridge. When launched, Bridge immediately fails with the error "Adobe Bridge CS6 quit unexpectedly" and gives the three options to ignore, report or reopen.
Taking away the ~/Library/Caches/Adobe redirection allows Bridge to work as normal again, but then I'm back to square one with Photoshop files saving in TemporaryItems again.
Does anyone have any advice to remedy this annoying problem please?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Bridge version is 5.0.2.4

Sorry, did not solve the problem. The info given did not bear much relation to what I could see in the print drop down box. I have been through all settings I can access and every thing appears normal. The print preview in the print box appears normal and shows colour, but this does not translate to the actual print.
When printing a docuement of 3 pages or more using double sided the result is the first docuement page on one side of a sheet and the last page on the other side, but upside down, despite orientation set to long edge binding. All other pages between first and last are ignored.
When printing docuements originating from printer software such as Print Quality Diagnostic and Make The Most Of Your Printer, the printer performs correctly with good quality printing and colour.
I assume that the Mac update to 10.9.5 has corrupted something but I am not knowkedgeable enough to understand what. Any further assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Weird issue with safari on iPad mini?

I just had a weird issue with my safari web page, it stopped responding to my scrolling. I then tried coming out of it and going bad in again a couple of times, which still did not work. It then started jiggling around all over the place (jiggling is the only word I can use to describe it), it was as if you had clicked and held the page with a mouse and then started moving the page all over the place, or even like an earthquake on the page. The tab then closed. Can anyone explain this? Thanks.

Quit Safari then reset your iPad.
Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Weird Issue With Windows Live Mail

I have a friend using Windows Live Mail and he's been having some weird issues with it. When he goes to forward an email, it will occasionally open the email up twice, which isn't a huge deal it's just more annoying than anything. I thought maybe there was
some malware or other junk that could be causing it so I ran MBAM and got everything cleaned up but it's still happening. Any other thoughts on what could cause this?
Thanks.

Layer Mask and Vector Mask on the same layer

Hello guys,
maybe this is a stupid question, but i am having trouble understanding this one...
If you make a selection on a layer and click the mask button, you create a mask...
But if you hit the mask button one more time, Photoshop puts a vector mask on that layer,
right beside the layer mask.
To be honest I haven't been able to do much with that vector mask, i experimented with it, but i just
can't figure out, how it interacts with the layer mask next to it (if it interacts that is).
Can someone help me understand please?
What's the usability of having a vector mask next to a layer mask on the same layer?
An explanation with a paradigm would be nice!
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
They both will mask the image. One will be pixel based, the other editable vector. Here is and example of round soft mask on Mona combined with a hard edged vector mask (on top of a still life by Frida!)
How you can use this is up to you.

We recently switched ISPs. To connect to the new ISP our Airport Extreme has to be in bridge mode. Now our Nintendo Wii won't connect to the Airport. Is it an issue with bridge mode that is causing this?

We recently switched ISPs. To connect to the new ISP our Airport Extreme has to be in bridge mode. Now our Nintendo Wii won't connect to the Airport. Is it an issue with bridge mode that is causing this? We're running two Macs wirelessly with no problems. And the Wii did connect before the switch.

Hello and thanks for the reply. I gave this a try, turned off Airport on one of the computers and tried the Wii again. Still no connection. I should say that we're also running an old G4 (wired) off the Airport as well, with no problems. I've tried many things to make the Wii to work, including power cycling the Airport, turning off the security settings in the Airport, resetting the Airport to it's default and redoing the network, resetting the network setting on the Wii (several times), moved the Airport closer to the Wii, all with no luck. The Wii "sees" the Airport but won't connect to it. I'm at a loss for anything else to try, so any help is appreciated.
