10.5.3 Seems to have solved Photoshop CS3/Spaces problem

I've just backed up and installed the 10.5.3 update. The only remaining problem with PS CS3 and Leopard was using Spaces and finding out that the Palettes, Tool Bar and Options Bar would frequently not redraw, depending on how you used Spaces. Twenty minutes worth of testing and that issue seems to have been resolved. The update for my Mac Pro was 420mb and required one OKed and two automatic restarts. It's a bit of a process.
So far so good!

Hi Everyone!
I too have this bug on my Mac Pro at work and my iMac at home. I use Spaces religiously so this bug is extremely annoying.
I went ahead and reported this bug to Adobe. I suggest that everyone else do the same.
I haven't been able to fix the blinking cursor without restarting Photoshop but here are some ways to avoid it:
1. Switch spaces using CTRL + Arrow Keys / Number of Space instead viewing all of the spaces in a grid.
2. If you are like me and prefer the grid you can avoid the blinking cursor by making sure the Type tool or Marquee tool is NOT selected in Photoshop before you switch Spaces. If you have another tool such as the Move tool selected when you switch Spaces you will not get the blinking cursor when you switch to the Type or Marquee tools after returning from another Space.
Let's hope Adobe gets this fixed ASAP.

I have upgraded from tiger to leopard and seem to have lost Photoshop 7.0. how do i retrieve it?

I have upgraded from tiger to leopard and seem to have lost Photoshop 7.0. Is it possible to retrieve it

Photoshop 7.0 only goes as far as 10.4.11
If you have a drive, you can put 10.4.11 on it or a partition of it
and save some money.
I am not convinced the upgrade is worth it,
but I just do simple things.

10.5.6 Seems to have solved issues

10.5.5 was a nightmare! Dropping connections, TC not mounting & endless backup failed messages. Just updated to 10.5.6 & all seems well at the moment. One thing I have noticed is a message from the Console which seems to have gone now... Airport (Roam Beacons Lost) no idea what it meant, but this message started to appear when all the problems did.
I wonder if anyone out there knows what this means?
Anyway I wish you all luck in solving the endless issues that TC brings. Im sure it wont be too long before my next problem arises!!

Nope, forget all that nonsense above. Connection dropouts & failed backups galore, due to connection problems. Its official.... TC is still a piece of S@*T!!! (90% of the time anyway)
When it works its great, it just seldom does.

I seem to have no free harddrive space but Finder says 11 GB free.

Hi all,
I've been running into a strange problem lately: At some point, all my programs report that I have no more free space, even Photo Booth doesn't save video beyond 5 seconds or so or at all, but in Finder it says 11 GB free on any folder in my Mac partition. I also get the OS's 'startup disk full' message.
I emptied the trash, restarted multiple times, and went into single user mode to fsck -fy. that found only one thing, fixed it then rechecked and said it was successful, but nothing changed.
Is Finder wrong or is the rest of the OS wrong? How do I solve this?

When you choose your volume and "Get Info" what does it report?
You should not exceed 85% full on any volume.
WhatSize can help you find what (if anything) is hogging your disk space.
Also be aware your space will never completely add up

Photoshop CS3 Cursor Problem

Hello,
I have been playing around with my College's copy of Photoshop CS3 and have stumbled across a bit of a problem. It seems that I have managed to lock my Photoshop file from all editing as I am unable to use any tool apart from the Hand Tool.
I haven't got a clue how to fit it.
Any Ideas
Thanks in Advance.
Josh

Thank you for that.
I will have a go at restarting my PC and various other combinations of open programs to see what works.
Thanks

Photoshop Cs3 saving problem

Good Day!
I've just installed Adobe photoshop Cs3 Extended and everytime i save my work, it crashes. The window is still there yet i can't click on anything even the menu bar. And the worst part of it is that it didn't save my work.
It also doesn't close so i have to restart my computer again.
I've already reinstalled Cs3 twice but it still crashes like that.
Please help me solve this problem, thank you.
-Monette de Jesus

Monette,
The Save dialog probably appears off-screen. Did you change monitor setup lately?
Can you Esc out of it?
Either reset the preferences (forum FAQ) or change the monitor settings to the highest possible pixel dimensions, bringing the dialog into view, then move the dialog to the top left of the screen, save something, and go back to the usual screen properties.

Photoshop CS3 activation problems

Does anyone know how to activate Photoshop CS3 on win8.1, everything i try fails, i have internet, the activate over the phone say it know longer supports activation and tells me to go to a website that is not available. HELP!

You may need to find Adobe's phone number on the web site, starting with clicking the red icon at the top of this page.
Chances are you'll need to run Photoshop CS3 As Administrator, at least to get started.
Photoshop CS3 can activate just fine on Windows 8.1. I have a copy installed and running.

Photoshop CS3 Trial Problems

I downloaded Photoshop CS3, although whenever I try to run the setup it says:
Adobe Photoshop cannot be installed because it conflicts with:

I tried searching around to see if I had photoshop laying around on my computer and I couldn't find anything..I searched in all my docouments, on my desktop and even my computer, and the adobe folder in c:/program files/adobe.
I'm not sure what it means, and I don't think I have photoshop on my computer anyways, can anyone help?

Try the Adobe clean-up script from their site.

Photoshop CS3 Installation Problems

A customer has purchased Photoshop CS3 & is having problems installing on Vista Business
If I logon to the Users PC as Administrator & install it there, what steps will I need to take to access it from the Users account
Thanks

Well, who told you it was for a Mac? If you bought it at a retail store, you should be able to take it back there and exchange it for a Mac copy. If you bought it used, you should demand a refund from whoever you bought it from.
Of course, that is all assuming it's actually a Windows copy, and there's not something else going on... What does it say on the CD? My Photoshop Elements CD is very clearly labeled "Macintosh."

My SLi issue and what seems to have solved it.

I've had my new xpower motherboard for a few weeks now. From the very first day everything has worked with one exception. When I put a second GTX 460 Hawk on the system for SLi problems began. The first thing I noticed was the computer would take a long time to boot into BIOS. Some unusual codes would be displayed. Once booted up, sometimes it would reboot right away. Other times it would seem stable until I tried to do something. Doing something would cause graphic drivers to crash and then recover and then crash and recover again. Sometimes this crash / recover cycle would result in a hard reset.
4 out of the 6 load indicator LED's on GPU 2 were always lit even when there was not supposed to be a load on the card. The other two lights would flicker. GPU 1's LED's would sometimes indicate a load and sometimes would not regardless of the actual load. Once in a while things would stabilize well enough for me to actually play a game. In Skyrim, I would get random crashes where the screen would go black, the GPU fans would slow to minimum speed, the sound would cut out, then there would be a pause. After that the game would recover right where it left off as if nothing had happened. Eventually the computer would crash and I'd have to turn it off and start it up again only to have a new set of random crashes and errors.
I removed the second card and messed around with the computer with only one card in PCIE slot 2. This worked better but not perfect. I saw strang FPS drops in games at random times. Even turning all settings down to their lowest wouldn't fix this. My FPS would drop to 4 to 9 frames and hang there for 10 minutes. The cards usage as displayed by after burner would only be around 10 %.
Anyway, I was poking around the Internet, trying to find a way to describe this problem when I found a small bit about PEGO - Gen X. This BIOS setting allows you to set your PCIE slots to a specific speed. You can set them on the xpower motherboard for PCIE 1, 2, 3 or Auto. Default is Auto. So, GTX 460 Hawk's are generation 2 (PCIE 2) graphics cards. I assumed the motherboard was "automatically" adjusting slots 1 and 5 (where my cards are plugged in) to PCIE 2. Now it may have been doing that but at the very least not consistently if at all. I set the PEGO - Gen X to Gen 2. When I booted up the machine it was fast. On both cards the LED load indicators only showed two lights. Now I'm able to do things without any crashes or FPS drops. Games are smooth. Skyrim's FPS Is between 30 and 120. The problem appears completely solved. The thing I don't understand now is why the Automatic setting wasn't working.

Contact Bose. I have seen several posts from people having trouble with Bose devices.

Help I seemed to have downloaded Photoshop CS6 instead of CC

I sighned up to Photoshop CC (Just Photoshop) and I'm pretty sure that I have ended up with The CS6 version instead which is is what it calls itself in the start menu (doesn't have the camera shake sharpen filter and the image size window is the CS6 version instead of CC version as seen on the promotional videos). I'm Paying for CC and that's what I should have. How do I change my installation.

Which Os you are on??
Please see the system requirement for Photoshop CC here http://www.adobe.com/in/products/photoshop/tech-specs.html

How do you clean up the mac os x startup disc? It seem to have run out of space...

Continually getting the 'force quit applications' message with a note that the start-up disc has no more space available for application memory. Where do I get access to this in order to clean up and delete unwanted stuff?
Any help appreciated as I'm not a Mac user by trade : )

WAY TOO SMALL
list: page, hibernation
cache for system, browsers and thumbnails and such (3-4GB)
the "core" of Windows 64-bit is 20GB
all the updates need 10GB temp space
apps and data and anything else you install on top of that
rule of thumb: it will consume 32GB and it needs 10-15GB on top of that and any OS (incl Mac) needs 20% free space to function properly, and on SSDs allow room for write provisioninig (a month's worth of writes).
Trial - practice makes perfect.
Paragon CampTuneX can resize if you have space to reallocate
20GB may have been fine for XP, not Vista or later.

Photoshop CS3 printing problem

Hello all,
One of my client is having problems printing Contact sheets on his color printer.
Here is the scenario;
User opens CS3
File - Automated - Contact Sheet II
Browse to folder where pictures are and selects folder
Contact sheets get created
At this point, the user must select each sheet one by one and change his printer selection to the color printer because each sheet defaults to his B&W laser printer
Collegue uses Photoshop CS and only needs to change printer selection for the first Contact Sheet then switches to the other sheets and presses CTRL-P to print them. If my client does this, the second sheet up to the last sheet would print blank!
Is there a reason why CS3 forces you to change printers for every sheet?
Is there a fix for this?
My client is quadriplegic but has 20% upper body movement. The less manual modifications the better for him.
I know that he can change his default printer to the color before creating the Contact Sheets then change it back but he wanted to see if there was a fix to the problem first.
Thanks in advanced.

Two things:
- Printer settings are "system settings" in the far and wide sense. If the user does not have sufficient privileges, he may not be allowed to change such settings persistently. This might affect sequential printing like in the Contact Sheet automation, where each file is sent separately to the printer.
- The printer driver overrides specific settings. This could e.g. be things like "print first page in a different format", automatic paper selection and a few others. Some of that could even hinge on you choosing a unsuitable paper size and layout in the first place which makes the print engine try to make "smart" decisions about these things. Carefully look through the drivers and take out conflicting settings. also, if your printer allows to store custom settings profiles, maybe use a factory preset instead.
If that doesn't work, you can often install the same printer multiple times with different settings by tying it to a different virtual port or using a different driver, like e.g. one time a winPrint driver and the other a PostScript Driver. This will entail some additional manual work, of course, but might solve the problem.
