Sounds like you used Disk Utility to make your "clones" (not images), right? Here is the cure:
Here's how to make a /.hidden file. This only works for admin users.
1. Open the Terminal.
2. Type "pico /.hidden" without the quotation marks.
3. Type the names of the file/folder you want hidden.
The resulting list should have one name per line.
4. Hit Control-O then the Return key to save /.hidden.
5. Hit Control-X to Exit.
6. Type "sudo chmod a=r /.hidden" without quotes.
7. Enter password if asked.
8. Type "sudo chown root:wheel /.hidden" without quotes.
9. Quit Terminal.
10. Restart the Computer.

BitLocker AutoUnlock second drive (after creating a new OS drive image and then encrypting)

Hi
Sorry, not sure which forum to put this question in, so I pick the Security.
I have a question about the Bit Locker autounlock.
I have been using BitLocker on Win7 and Win2008. The autounlock has worked fine. I have two separate disks (c:\ and e:\). Using one USB I can unlock the c:\ and then it will auto unlock the second disk. No problems.
However, I had to create a new OS image, and then re encrypt the c:\ (OS drive). I used the same USB. When the computer boots up, I can manually unlock the e:\, but it will not let me autounlock the e:\. I keep getting the "element
not found" message.
Any help would be appreciative.
Thanks

Thank you for your reply...but that was not what I was looking for.
I understand, and have setup, how to auto unlock the second drive. My question is, does the second disk have to be present when the OS drive is encrypting? Scenario:
Set 1:
Original OS Drive (OOD) - already encrypted
Original Second Drive (OSD) - already encrypted and auto unlocked.
Set 2:
New OS Drive (NOD) - encrypted
Original Second Drive (OSD) - encrypted previously and auto unlocked.
Using Set 2, I have encrypted the NOD, and was able to auto unlock the OSD while it was present. However, since I have multiple OSD's, I then inserted another OSD with the NOD. I am able to unlock this drive, but not able to auto unlock it.
I get the dreaded "Element not Found" message. I am assuming that when the OS drive is encrypting, it somehow attaches to the OSD....therefore it can auto unlock it. If I add another OSD, it will not be able to auto unlock it.
Hope this makes sense. Thanks again.

I am experiencing Mavericks failing to copy subdirectories from usb sticks, I am backing up game saves from a console. Both sticks I use are fine, same permissions of course since the console wrote the files. Sometimes it copies, sometimes it doesn't. It seems to be related to the mounting process.

Images overlap with text when after creating pdf: InDesign CS

Good morning,
I am using bot InDesign CS and CS2, and I am having a problem as the following:
After creating the pdf, images overlap with one another, or the text overlap behind the images so on.
First, I would like to mention the overlapped images had no problem at the previous version of the pdf. If I make a change on the page "06" for example and then recreate the pdf, a couple of images in the other pages move to the different place through the document.
So I tend to "replace" the changed pages into the previous version of the pdf instead of recreating the pdf for all pages.
Is this kind of bug or features of InDesign?
It would be very much appreciated if anyone answer me.
Warm regard, Andrew.

The PDF that was placed into ID loses all interactivity and form fields. There is no way to do what you want.

Trying to create a password protected disk image in 10.8.4

Trying to create a password protected disk image in 10.8.4. I follow steps in Apple:Support but I get an error saying "Resource busy"?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

I am having a similar and more serious problem. It takes a
long time to execute, but even attaching a small image balloons the
pdf to 6MB plus. After a few images it gets up to 20MB. These are
100k jpeg files being attached. The resulting PDF is too large to
email or process effectively. Does anyone know how to reduce
size/processing?

Problem in PDF after creating from Indesign CS3 (transparancy)

Hi all,
Please give me a solution ASAP, its most urgent.
We have used two color in one image, the color color is pantone.
First we have selected the one pantone in image and in background another color. After creating PS using Prinergy and Distilling.
I am not getting the result, the PDF which I have creating, the image contain only the main color not the background color, if I use the the "Advance - "Output Privew I am getting the result in PDF, what would be the problem, I have used "High Resolution" in Transparancy, still I am not getting the result.
Please respond ASAP.

Are you colours defined as spots.? If you do not need spot colours in your job, then change them to process in the swatches panel.
Otherwise you will need to configure the RIP honour the overprints.

After creating a keynote, can it be converted into a powerpoint?

after creating a keynote can I convert it to a powerpoint to show on my company systems?

Some tips:
Lots of builds and transitions messes up the PPT file. Conversations are pretty much a waste of time for anyone serious about presentations in Keynote. They'll always look better in Keynote.
I have read that text box borders messes up the PPT export. Remove them before export: you can take a screenshot of them before you delete them, and then drag them into the respective slides in PPT.
For those with literally zero transitions and builds, export to PDF. Simple and easy. Or, export as images and then use those images as slides in PPT.
For those of us with transitions and builds (all of us I presume), export to a quicktime movie. My favorite option. This way, it'll play on pretty much any computer, you won't have to recreate the pres in PPT, and it's more professional. Who wants to open up a PPT file and then be stuck in the PPT program? A movie file is just better all around. Unless you need others to use the file to present to people in a conference room, you might be stuck recreating your Keynote in PPT. And, don't be afraid to import this movie into iMovie or FCP to do some additional editing.
Anyway, my view is converting to PPT is a waste of time for those with lots of builds, transitions, and text effects like kerning, text box borders, etc.

Problem after creating a Photo Book

After creating a 100 Pages Hardcover Book, I can't buy it, because Iphoto opens a window, saying that not all pages are filled with photos. verity I try, it goes back to one page, but this page is perfectly filled like all the others, no missing photos or empty frames at all.
ried to change photos and layout, with no result. Cant buy this book.
What can I do? I don't want to create a whole new Book

You may have still a placeholder photo as the backdrop for your pictures. Check the page layout, if it is using an image background. Then you need to change the background or add background picture:
If you used the Golden Gate Bridge background, drag a photo to the background.

Can I create a Win 7 Recovery Image *Bootable* USB THUMB DRIVE? -- (Instead of cd/dvd)

Hi
Can someone share how to create a
Windows 7 Recovery Image USB THUMB BOOTABLE DRIVE? -- I mean in place of the Boot DVD that Windows Backup offers to create after you've created an image?
I assume that there must be a way to do this?
Thanks in advance!!

Juke, Thanks, but my question remains not answered,
I only want to know one thing.
***How do I create a USB BOOT "DISK" using a USB Drive.  Not the IMAGE --just the boot files
     In other words, I want my 2 gig USB THUMB DRIVE to behave just like the Recovery CD/DVD.
     I only want the steps of how to create the BOOTABLE USB.
     (Forget about the image --- I keep the image on on another hard drive, and NOT the USB)

After rotate, display of large JPEG images very slow.

I am loading and displaying images using JAI and Java2D.
When I load a large grayscale JPEG image (300 dpi, letter size), it displays fine.
After a rotate, the next display is incredibly slow.
Source is a RenderedImage loaded from a JPEG file using:
     FileSeekableStream ss = new FileSeekableStream(file);
     ImageDecoder dec = ImageCodec.createImageDecoder("jpeg", ss, null);
     RenderedImage source = dec.decodeAsRenderedImage(curPage);
I create a scaled image using:
     interp = Interpolation.getInstance(Interpolation.INTERP_BILINEAR);
     ParameterBlock params = new ParameterBlock();
     params.addSource(source);
     params.add(xZoom); // x scale factor
     params.add(yZoom); // y scale factor
     params.add(0.0F); // x translate
     params.add(0.0F); // y translate
     params.add(interp); // interpolation method
RenderedOp image3 = JAI.create("scale", params);
And display inside the paintComponent() method of my JPanel-derived class using:
     AffineTransform transform = new AffineTransform();
     transform.translate(shiftX, shiftY);
     Graphics2D G2d = (Graphics2D)g.create(); //copy g
     G2d.drawRenderedImage(image3, transform);
If I add a rotate step after the scale:
     ParameterBlock paramsR = new ParameterBlock();
     paramsR.addSource(source);
     paramsR.add(TransposeDescriptor.ROTATE_90);
     // Create an operator to turn image.
     source = JAI.create("Transpose", paramsR, null);
Then the next display for a 300 dpi 8 bit grayscale JPEG file can take up to 60 seconds.
The bulk of the elapsed time is inside: Graphics2D.drawRenderedImage(image3, transform);
Any ideas what I am doing wrong here?
I am relatively new to using Java Advanced Imaging.
Thanks,
T.J. Brown

Sorry, a correction.
The file is actually JPEG-compressed data inside a TIFF file.
So the decode step uses:
ImageDecoder dec = ImageCodec.createImageDecoder("tiff", ss, null);
JPEG inside a JFIF file is much faster.
Thanks,
T.J. Brown

Confounded by error sound after creating new adjustment layer

after creating a new adjustment layer I (often) find that despite having clicked on the new mask I cannot either change the background colour, or zoom the brush etc I just get an error sound 'plonk'
If I click on another layer then back it will work - this keeps hapening -what am I doing wrong? I also can create adjustment layers at other times with no problems, not chaninging anything AFAICS
thanks for your help

Creating Contact Sheets by selecting images in sub-folders

I'm new to scripting, so not sure whether this is within the realms of possiblity, but hope that there's an expert out there up to the challenge!
My goal is to develop a script to automate the process of creating contact sheets for each pupil of a school photoshoot. The folder structure being used presently is:
1st level folder:     School name (e.g. "Southbridge School")
2nd level folders:     Class teachers name (e.g. "Smith")
In each 2nd level folder (i.e. representing each class) there are always 3 images per child (post processed, so ready to convert to contact sheets). The image numbers run sequentially, so the first 3 image numbers in the folder are of the 1st child, the next 3 are of the 2nd child, and so on....
The script I'm looking for would allow me to point Photoshop to the 1st level folder and then automatically create a contact sheet for all children 'found' in the sub-folders. To do this the script would need to do the following:
Taking each 2nd level folder in turn, recognise each 'child' is represented by 3 consecutive images - and starting with the 1st 3 images in the folder create a contact sheet. Then, move on to the next 3 images in sequence and create the next contact sheet, and finish after it completes the final 3 images in the folder. Then, move on to the next 2nd level folder...
Create each contact sheet with the 3 images in colour and then the same 3 images in black and white (so 6 images per contact sheet), including the image number under each and a copyright watermark
Save all contact sheets generated from all of the classes all together in 1 new folder at the 2nd level called "Contact Sheets"
Give each contact sheet a unique name in the format "<Class teachers name> - xxx"   (e.g. "Smith-1", "Smith-2" etc...)
So, are there any Photoshop masters out there up to this challenge?! Your help would be greatly appreciated because the learning curve on this one looks v. steep!
Alternatively, if you can think of a better way of doing this I would also be keen to hear!
Thanks

Awesome! I didnt even know aperture could do that
Now another quick question on this topic, if im using RAW files, does aperture need to convert the file to jpeg or tiff (like it does if you export version as jpeg)?
If it does, that may be a problem as it takes forever for aperture on my macbook to convert raws and save as jpegs, like a good minute or two per photo, and if i have 200odd photos....not good, people will crack it waiting and leave.
Or does it print as raw? Cause im pretty sure my printer (or any printer) can not print raw files. Will try it tonight on my printer but a heads up will be useful.
I could just shoot in hi-res jpeg, but id rather shoot raw incase they want a large poster size print etc.
Thanks.

Create a smart folder for images imported "TODAY"

Is it possible to create a smart folder for images imported today? The only close option I have been able to find is by selecting the "import session" option, but that forces me to select from a series of sessions that have already been imported. I'd like to be able to have a single folder, day after day of what I imported today almost like the iPhoto "last roll" folder. Possible?

There is a Filter Rule "Import Session" but as implemented (as you discovered) it isn't easy to use.
What I do is:
. add "Import Session" to the "List -- Expanded View" Metadata Overlay
. click "Photos"
. change to List
. change to Expanded Overlay if needed
. click the column header "Import Session" (note that this adds "Import Session" to the sort drop-down)
. change back to Grid view as needed
I use this to confirm imports, and to find any that I mis-placed.
HTH.
