Actions not working- CS3

I have my own purchased copy of Photoshop CS3 on a PowerMac G5 and it's been working fine.
Now I can't get the actions to work, and I have 1,000 files to resize.
I've reinstalled the program, but nothing has changed.
Here's what I do:
Through Bridge, open image (tiff), open actions
create new set, create new action, Record
resize image, save image as jpg to new folder, close, Stop Action
In  Photoshop, Batch, select action, select source and destination folders, hit ok
Action starts, opens up file, resizes, closes
Usually nothing appears in the new folder.
Today:
It is now saving a tiff and a jpg to the new folder, but the jpgs are totally the wrong size, and the tiff is not supposed to be there.
It's good it's actually saving an image now, but not still doing what I specify
Any suggestions?

A Save As-step with Folder-seelction in an Action can be problematic.
I recommend you just use File > Scripts > Image Processor and drop the Save As-step from the Action.

  • Actions not working in Illustrator CS6

    I created some actions that work on my PC. They area currently working in CS3, CS5 and CC. I had a friend test the actions on their MAC which is running CS6. The actions did not work. I am desperately trying to figure out why they work in previous builds with no problems but so far 2 people with macs running CS6 cannot run them.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,

    Hello Dhirendra,
    I've recreated all my actions in AICC 2014, because the ones I created in
    AICS weren't working.
    When I test the AICC 2014 newly created actions in AICC 2014 they seem to
    work fine.
    When I restart my computer and open AICC 2014 again and use the actions
    they don't work. Please find attached a screenshot.
    They default AICC 2014 do seem to work, so I'm not sure what is the problem.
    Any help is much appreciated as I rely on my actions

  • CS4 Photoshop Scripts and Actions not working

    Hi All,
    I just upgraded my suite to CS4 from CS3.  Now all my actions and default scripts such as "Load Files to Photoshop Layers" from Photoshop & Bridge are not working.  I've tried remaking my actions and renaming files but no luck.  I've tried deleting preferences but no luck as well.  Im stuck.
    Here are my machine specs:
    Model Name:    Mac Pro
      Model Identifier:    MacPro1,1
      Processor Name:    Dual-Core Intel Xeon
      Processor Speed:    2 GHz
      Number Of Processors:    2
      Total Number Of Cores:    4
      L2 Cache (per processor):    4 MB
      Memory:    9 GB
      Bus Speed:    1.33 GHz
      Boot ROM Version:    MP11.005C.B08
      SMC Version (system):    1.7f10
    Any ideas?

    Hello,
    Its actually doesn't do anything.  Once you figure out that PS is not responding then you try to do it again -  this comes up "photoshop is currently busy with another task.  Would you like to queue this process?"

  • Cross browser testing : Modifier Keys playback actions not working in chrome and Firefox

    Hi,
    In my work flow I have to select multiple items in list.So I have recorded 'Ctrl+Click' action to select list items.In Chrome and Firefox it is not selecting multiple Items.
    Even Ctrl+A,Ctrl+C,Ctrl+V also not working in chrome and Firefox.Complete modifier keys support is not observed in chrome and Firefox.Let me Know how to automate modifier keys actions in cross browser?
    Regards,
    Nagasree.

    Hi Nagasree,
    Welcome to MSDN forums.
    First,please make sure the Chrome and Firefox is supported by cross browser testing.
    Latest version of Chrome and Firefox supported by cross browser testing are Chrome version 38.0.2125.111 and
    Firefox 33.
    I doubt whether Chrome and Firefox in cross browser testing don’t support automating modifier keys or there is anything wrong on it if you are using supported browser. Since this issue is related to the Extensions tool
    Selenium components for Coded UI Cross Browser Testing, if possible, I suggest you post this
    issue here, click “Q AND A”, and then you could post this issue there, you would get dedicated
    support there.
    Thanks for your understanding.

  • Actions not working in illustrator cc

    I've a list of actions that I've created in illustrator cs6, now that I'm using CC they're not working any more.
    I get the message e.g. 'the object move is not available' or 'the object reflect is not available'.
    Does this mean I have to recreate all of my actions again?

  • Smart Actions not working properly after software update

    My Razr updated 2 days ago and since then my Smart Actions are not working properly. 
    I have my Work action set to turn the volume down when I'm at a certain GPS.  It shows that "Work" is active, but doesn't turn the volume down.
    Also, there are times (since I've owned the phone) that it will not connect to the network after coming off a Wifi Connection without rebooting the phone.  I took it into a Verizon store and they did a hard reset, and that fixed it for a time, but it started doing it again. 
    Any help appreciated.

        Hi mcclainkb, Let's make sure your phone works as you expect it to! Have you tried removing the Smart Action and setting it back up again?  Are your other GPS services working as normal?  After the hard reset performed in the store did you install all of the same application that you had before?
    Thank you,

  • Over State and actions not working with buttons in Flash cs4

    Hi - I am working on a Flash file and some of the buttons in the document are not working.When I test the movie the hand cursor appears when I hover over the buttons they don't change colour (as specified in the over state) and the actions don't work. Not sure what is going on here as I created other buttons in the same document the same way and they work fine. Thanks in advance.

    If you remove the code from the buttons do they react properly to a mouse over interaction?
    What is the code that is in place?

  • Actions and Advanced Actions not working correctly. - Captivate 8

    In our project, we have it set so that after every section the student is asked three quiz questions (they are set on the default quiz slides.) On success, the person jumps to the next question slide. On failure, the person goes to next slide which has two buttons - one that allows them to simply move forward to the next quiz question and one that allows them to go back and review. The "Go back and Review" button takes the person back to the specific content slide that contains the answer to the question they are being asked. This button is set to advanced actions "Jump to Slide ..." and "Show Button..." - The button is a 'Return to Quiz' button to allows the person to find the answer then try the question again.  I know that the buttons on the default quiz slides cannot be programmed to do a specific action, but every time we click 'Submit' it seems fine until we click 'Next' to move ahead, it then routes us back to one of the content slides (Slide 7) instead of the next slide (if wrong), or the next question slide (if right). I have looked at the Advanced Interactions Window and there is nothing linking this slide to anything. I have not had this problem with any of our other modules or sections. I have tried creating new question slides and it did not work. I deleted Slide 7 and it worked fine the first time through the preview, but then when I viewed the preview again, it started jumping back and would not even let me get to the questions. Can anyone help?

    Normally the Next button on a question slide is not needed, because it has the functionality of Skipping the question. It is however needed if you want to allow Review.
    Another explanation is that you did change the normal work flow for a question slide, where a two-step process for submitting will take automatically the user to the next slide.
    Question Question Slides in Captivate - Captivate blog
    What did you do to need the Next button? If the user submits:
    Feedback appears with the indication to press Y or to click on the slide, happens at the pausing point of the Question slide (default is 1.5secs)
    When user presses Y or clicks, the actions Success/Last Attempt are executed if all attempts are exhausted, and you have only 1 attempt on Question level: the actions are by default Continue, but you can change it to 'Go to Next Slide' to shorten the waiting time (or drag the pausing point closer to the end of the slide).
    What did you change?

  • Corrective action not working in OEM

    Hi All,
    I am working on OEM 12c R1 Cloud Control. While going through the documents I came to know that we can set a corrective action against a metric and whenever that condition gets violated the corrective action is executed. Now I decided to configure a corrective action whenver my weblogic server goes down OEM will start the server. While creating the corrective action under the type of action which can be created I found *" WebLogic Control 7.x and 8.x"* Does it mean that this action will work only for weblogic server version 7.x and 8.x.? Will this can not be executed for weblogic server 10.x as I am using weblogic server 10.3.5 ? If not, then how can we create these kind of corrective actions for the weblogic server 10.3.5?
    Actually when I created a corrective action of type *"WebLogic Control 7.x and 8.x"*, and when my managed server went down OEM tried to execute the corrective action but it got an error with message *" Could not execute query: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01403: no data found ORA-06512: at line 88"*
    Can anyone please tell me a work around!!
    Thanks in Advance!!

    Shyama
    Check the dynamic action how you queried
    on what action you ask dynamic action to fire
    If possible print the code here for faster response

  • Automator Export Action NOT WORKING.

    I realize that double-posting is not typically a good thing, but this forum seems to get more activity than the Automator one, and it sort-of applies to both, so I'm posting here as well...
    Basically, I cannot get the Export Images action to work. I get an error every time:
    "Aperture got an error: NSInternalScriptError (8)"
    Here is my original post: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=546528&tstart=0
    Anyone with any help/info would be much appreciated. Thanks!!

    Wow. I can't believe it, but that worked. I had JUST installed it (and had actually never tried the Automator thing) so I just did not assume that that could have been the problem.
    Thanks a bunch for the help, Kevin. That was about as simple as it gets. It seems to be working just fine now.
    (except it exports ALL of the images in a given album, i.e., the ones inside stacks as well. But hey, I can live with that. At least it works at all.)
    thanks again.

  • Multiple Actions not working for DPS

    I've created a box and made it into a button. I've assigned two actions to this button:
    If I have both actions checked, it works fine in the preview within InDesign, but does not work on the desktop Content Viewer and it does not work when uploaded to the iPad.
    If I uncheck either box, it works well in all scenarios. Any ideas.

    No Bob, it does not. It just has two states:
    "menorah blank": A white box on the page that is "invisible" since it blends in with the page color.
    "menorah popup": A pop up box with the graphics. There is an invisible box (but not within the "menorah" MSO" that sits above the red "x" box to send the "menorah" MSO back to it's blank state. Could this be the problem?
    I'be be happy to ftp that single indesign page to you if it would help.
    Thanks for the speedy reply!

  • Buttons with page actions not working

    Hi,
    I have a folio with buttons that have actions such as "Go to Page", "Go to First Page" and "Go to Last Page".
    I could export this folio with Folio Builder to the server and I could view it in my tablet with no problems.
    However, today (August 30th) I exported the folio again and it's not working. All other overlays are working fine, but buttons with page actions just show their Click appearance and go back to normal.
    My friend also teels me of this problem.
    What happened?
    My Content Viewer in my iPad is updated and I have made the last Folio Builder upgrade.
    Sincerely,
    Jean

    There was a bug in which these previously supported button actions (Go to Page and Go to First/Last Page) no longer worked, but I thought that bug had been fixed. Let me check on that. In the meantime, the workaround is to use the "navto://" format to jump to a different page within the same document. Use the "navto://articlename#n" format. The first page is 0, so #1 jumps to page 2. For details, go here:
