Accessing dialog boxes in DW CS6

My Dreamweaver CS6 software does not automatically bring up certain dialog boxes when their functions are invoked, specifically the Hyperlink dialog box and the Select Image Source dialog box. There are obviously ways to do these functions without the dialog boxes, but I would like to know why they don't automatically pop up when I follow the instructions laid out in David McFarland's "The Missing Maual" book or various online tutuorials on Youtube.com and elsewhere.
I am wondering if this could possibly be due to the fact that I purchased and downloaded the software from an online retailer called www.newoemsoftware.com at a greatly discounted price. I was given a serial number and can register the software, so I would think that nothing is suspect about my software.

Hi robtompk,
It is highly unlikely that your problems are because of purchasing a discounted version of the software. Just to be sure, can you try closing other applications open on your computer, and try opening the dialog boxes in DW?
Also, what is the build number that you have? Use Help > About to get this information.
Thanks,

Twitchy mouse on dialog boxes in photoshop cs6

Hey there,
So I have a really weird problem with photoshop cs6. For some reason my mouse cursor starts twitching when I move over dialog boxes. I have recorded a video to show you what I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rouox93xMo
I am currently on the 30 day trial period, because I had gotten an unlimited license via surfspot, but that turned out to NOT be unlimited, suddenly expired (misinformation by surfspot), waiting to hear back from them to get a new license code. I've seen a lot of people on the forums complaining about the same thing, the surfspot unlimited license that suddenly expired shenanigans. I don't think that should have anything to do with it though, but I just thought I would put it out there.
In any case, I'm running windows 8 pro, and... well if you need any other info ask me, I'm not sure what to add. Hope someone can help, it's really annoying, sometimes I can barely click the dialog box correctly to enter what I want.

Network Access dialog box keeps popping up too quickly to click

Lately, Compressor (or maybe Batch Monitor) has been causing this problem:
While a batch is compressing, a dialog box pops up on the screen for a fraction of a second, way too quickly to read it or click on it. I see "Deny" and "Allow" buttons, so I am guessing it's a dialog box asking about network access.
I found that it pops up at the same time interval I set in Batch Monitor's prefs for updating.
I tried trashing Compressor's prefs and restarting it.
The frustrating thing about this problem is that it interrupts anything else I'm doing. It interrupts typing, or a mouse drag. The only workaround I've found, so far, is to not run Batch Monitor at all.
I'd reinstall, but that'll take days because I have to track down someone in the company who keeps the install media under lock and key. I'm hoping you know of a way to solve this... please? A search of this forum turned up nothing, so far, but I saw a user posted about this problem on another site... and the solution suggested there didn't work for me (not sure it worked for him, either).

I was having the same problem and noticed that while hovering over a menu item, the popping box stopped popping up. I of course couldn't keep my mouse hovering over a menu item forever and do anything else, but luckily I tried selecting "About Compressor" from the menu and that stopped the box from popping up as well and let me go on to other applications. As long as you don't click the About Compressor box off the screen, the popping box problem is solved, at least for me it is working...
I hope this helps you...

CS6 "move" dialog box issue

What is the secret to getting the "move" dialog box in AI CS6 to move objects the distance and direction entered in the box?

It's a group of vector polygons, with effects attached. I think rulers, transformation center, and preferences are similar to defaults. I'm not a skilled enough user to change much. I like inches, so I changed that. But otherwise, it's fairly bland. How do you reset the preferences?
I should also have mentioned that I'm using the 30-day trial version of Illustrator.
Just now, I opened up a new file, created a single rectangle, and was able to reproduce the problem. You can download the file through this link: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0Hoxcl5zTEtT1dvR0RjMkFyRTQ/edit?usp=sharing
Recipe for problem:
- Open file
- Left click the black rectangle.
- Right click the rectangle, choose tansform->move
- Tab. Tab. 1. Tab. 30. Tab. (note that h/v boxes fail to update, and remain 0)
- Click preview
Nothing happens.
It seems to me that if you enter values in the horizontal and vertical boxes, the distance/direction boxes update appropriately, and the move works fine. However, if you enter values in the distance/direction boxes, the horizontal and vertical boxes generally do not update at all, then sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes, the first set of distance/direction numbers work fine, but if you leave the move box open, then change those numbers, the h/v boxes then fail to update, and clicking preview just causes the object to move as for the previous settings, or to not move at all.

Is there a fix for modal dialogs opening behind palettes -cs6 -osx 10.6.8

Is there a fix for modal dialogs open behind palettes in
Photoshop cs6 13.0 (createive cloud update) + OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard on MacBook Pro?
( I am using 2 monitors where the second monitor is set to be the menu display. cs4 does not exhibit this bug. )
Toggling the Application Frame off improves the hiding 'feature' but this does not include the desired continuous floating in front of palettes in all circumstances.
An example is Blending Options, then chose Stroke, then chose the Color Picker. After clicking OK, the Blending Options dialog now sits behind the palettes. One trick is to click on another app, then back to cs6 to force a window redraw.
It sure would help me if this could be solved. I am preparing educational videos and this display bug makes things very troublesome.
Thanks for any help. If I find a solution, I will post to this thread so everyone can benefit.

The setting for the graphics check box Does Not make a difference. If I have a new document window open, then add a layer, then open the blending options > drop shadow > edit the color > the chooser dialog opens, and immediately both dialog windows drop behind the palettes AND any document windows.
The same behavior for the Preferences dialog > guides > color.
The quick workaround is to click another app, then back to CS6. A real pain, of course.
It is only a factor when opening a second (child) dialog box.
Other CS6 apps do work correctly (eg. FW AE)
I have yet to get a handle on this. Mac OSX 10.6.8 CS6 13.0 x64
Thanks for your replies, and the long reply time for me was a vaction away from the office.

"Justify last left" in the Paragraph dialog box, grayed out?

Had do you activate the "Justify last left" in the Paragraph dialog box in PS CS6? It grayed out.

These four options that you've highlighted are available for Paragraph Type and not Point Type. Create Paragraph Type by dragging a marquee with the Type Tool to make a box to contain the type instead of just clicking on the canvas.

I am trying to open CR2 files from a Cannon EOS 1DX camera in Photoshop CS6 and I have already updated the Camera Raw Plug in but Photoshop is still giving me the cannot open files dialog box? Help?

I am trying to open CR2 files from a Cannon EOS 1DX camera in Photoshop CS6 and I have already updated the Camera Raw Plug in but Photoshop is still giving me the cannot open files dialog box? Help?

Canon 1DX support was added to ACR in version 6.7, 7.1. An updated CS6 should be at level ACR 8.6. If your ACR is not at level 8.6 try using CS6 menu Help>Updates. If that does not install ACR 8.6 try downloading the ACR and DNG 8.6 converter and see if ACR 8.6 will install into your CS6.

Windows 7 Open and Save As dialog box gives an "Access Denied" when using common Windows Explorer features.

On many computers in our environment we have issues in Windows 7 when using the Common Dialog Box. Within the dialog box we get the error Access Denied whenever we try to create a folder. If we try to rename a file it doesn't give an error but
it doesn't work either. We cannot delete a file, still no error, but we can create shortcut.
Within Windows Explorer of the same user it has no issues.
Even if we run an application as administrator it has the same results.
Example: Open Paint (right click "Run As Administrator"); then File, "Save As", right-click in empty space; then New, Folder. This caused the error to popup "Unable to create the folder 'New folder' Access is denied."
Thanks for your help,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

I just statred Flash CC for the first time and it seems that the text within the pop-up window (dialog box) is mis-aligned and not allowing me access to the command buttons, nor all the text. (ie: the NEW Template Box, can't see but 2/3 of the content)

I keep getting dialog box saying " The itunes Library file cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation" I am the only user on this computer and only one library! how do i change access privileges please?

hi I keep getting the dialog box " The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation"
How do i amend this as i only have one account and one library. I cannot save new work or delete duplicate files

A belated reply, as the problems itunes has have discouraged me from using it much. If you uncheck the "read only" box, it doesn't stay that way! Next time you use it, the box comes up checked.
I'm still having that problem, even when I open iTunes as administrator.
I've yet to see the answer to this problem. I use itunes mostly to download audiobooks, and I'm ready to download more, and want to save them!

CS6 Save/Save As dialog boxes not appearing

I recently installed CS6 Master Collection (educational version, if that's relevent) and in many of the programs, I can't save. In Illustrator, Dreamweaver and After Effects, I will get the spinning wheel for a moment and then nothing happens. In Photoshop, I will get the wheel for awhile before a message pops up saying "Could not complete your request because of a program error." This happens whether I use the key command or go through the File drop down menu.
If I try to exit out of the file, I will be prompted to save or don't save, but if I click save, it will just close the window and not actually save the file.
However, I have no issues saving in Indesign or Flash. The print dialog box will also appear in the trouble programs. I also have CS5 on my computer (only ai, indd, and ps) and I can save in these programs without issue.
I am operating on a MacBook Pro version 10.7.5, 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7, 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3.
Thanks for your help.

Bug: Navigation: Save As Dialog Boxes in Windows (thus any application) goes to Computer Drive C - instead of Quick Access

Bug: Navigation: Save As Dialog Boxes in Windows (thus any application) still have its legacy behavior implemented and navigates to a computer drive, by preselecting and letting the user start at Computer > Drive C - instead of Quick Access.
This is simply a forgotten correction after Quick Access has been introduced that needs to be corrected for Quick Access to work effectively (in a valuable way for the user) with files not just during create and modify operations on files - but also Open
file - using File Dialog Boxes (although users may use launch instead for Opening files using i.e. Explorer or navigation from shortcuts on the desktop).
This missing change of File Dialog Box behavior is unintended and now contradicts the new design with Quick Access for faster navigation (so you should not have to start with a scroll and extra navigation to look for Quick Access (contradiction:
i.e. QUICK Access)
Please support the new navigation provided by Quick Access intended to give Quick Access - thus Save As must be able to start here.
For variability, may be provide an overriding option in Explorer>Folder Options>General (if you change the default behaviour in the File Dialogue) to have Save As start at Computer > Drive C.
! Remember to do the change for the Common File Dialog as well - used by most widespread software applications in the Adobe software applications portfolio, i.e. Adobe Photoshop CS6

Thank you for your time and response! Unfortunately, we have the machine locked down pretty tight (they are public use computers that require heavy restriction) and it is set to restrict all drives so access is limited to the local profile. We did try
testing your method, however, by adding the Desktop as an allowed location in the Office policy (which would not solve the issue for the other applications but was good for a test) using the path %userprofile%\desktop. When choosing that location, it does
not throw the error but unfortunately, it does not remember like it did for your with the E: drive so it still always throws the error when first loading the dialogue box no matter what I do. If you're able to confirm that this is simply by design and we're
just expected to inform our users to click through the errors, then I guess that's the accepted answer. Although, do you think that there might be a registry key value that is set after you save to the E: drive for the first time? Maybe we could set that value
to %userprofile%\desktop if it's doing the redirection after the first save through registry. Thanks again!

Can't access browser when "Save As..." dialog box is active

Hi all,
When I am downloading and saving a file and the "Save As..." dialog box is active, I'm not able to click behind it to access the browser as I can with Internet Explorer.
I need to be able to access the webpage while the dialog is open, as I often need to copy/paste text from the webpage into the file name field on the Save As... box.
Does anyone know if there is an add-on or something that will remove this limitation?

The problem with that solution is that when I close the dialog box so I can copy the text I need from the tab underneath, I lose the location of the folder for saving the file, and then I need to navigate back through all the folders to find the location again. This is a waste of time.
I cannot copy all the text at the same time into the Save As... box, as I need to take the text from several locations on the webpage (such as program name, version info, etc) and compile it into a useful file name.
Again, if anyone knows of a workaround for this issue (other than the clipboard addons which will only complicate matters) then please repsond.
Thanks!

Windows 7, Photoshop CS6 or CC Dialog boxes Messed up bad!

Hi Guys,
I'm running a PC with Windows 7 and a Nvidia Quadro 600 Card.
I have tried solving this one on and off for many months with no luck. Updating the drivers on the GPU etc. Clean installing.
It seems to affect only photoshop dialog boxes. But on both CS6 and even now on CC.
I'd settle right now for anyone even seeing this problem before! (Although I'd love a solution, don't get me wrong)
Here are a few snippets of the problems. Makes it impossible to read and use. Poor guy who uses this at work, is having a hard time using photoshop! It's every dialog, that gets messed up.
Um, help!

I actually can't believe I'm writing this, but I have finally resolved this issue!
I think it might have been something to do with duplicate fonts.
I had duplicates of Arial and about 9 other fonts. However for the life of me, I could not delete them after going through changing ownership of the Windows folder to enable deletion of duplicate fonts which were used by the system. Couldn't do it that.
I finally re-installed WIndows 7 as an upgrade. So basically I was upgrading to the exact same version of Windows 7, while maintaining all my original settings, programs, mapped drives etc etc. Everything.
And photoshop looks peachy now! I can actually see what I'm doing!
But thanks to Dutch Paul Paul, who got me thinking along the lines of re-activating fonts!
