After deleting FF preference file, Footers are now located higher on all printed pages, causing some one-page emails to extend to a second page.

I upgraded my Mac OS to 10.6.8 to see if that would solve some of my FF hanging issues. It did not. So I decided to try deleting the preferences file as suggested in the Troubleshooting section to see if that would help. Unfortunately after deleting the prefs.js file per the instructions, on all my printed pages the Footers are now located significantly higher on the page than they used to be. They are located about 3/4" up from the bottom of the page, whereas before they were always located about 1/4" up from the bottom of the page. (Thankfully, the headers are in the same spot as before, 1/4" down from the top of the page.)
I don't understand how this happened to the footer placement in deleting the preferences. The placement/location of the headers and footers is not something that the user can adjust in FF Preferences or in the Printing window as a preference. Only the content of the headers and footers can be modified in the Printing window.
I am stumped as to how this occurred. Is there a way to restore the footer placement back closer to the bottom of the page? The higher location of the footer is causing many of my lengthier one-page emails to have to extend onto a second page which is a waste of paper and file space.

Try resetting the Page Margins to what you were using before deleting the prefs file.

The Creative Cloud application becomes inoperable continually on both my Windows 7 and 8.1 operating systems. I'm tired of re installing the application after deleting the OOBE file to get updates and syn settings between computers for Photoshop. Is this an endemic problem with others? I'm using Google Chrome as my browser. Is this an issue with the problem?

Similar problem just happened to me with the Creative Cloud Update 1.7.1.418—slightly different so I thought I'd share. I have multiple Adobe Creative Cloud programs installed on my computer, all working just fine. I updated the Cloud App to the latest version and then it shows me that I have only one program installed! All my previously installed programs (Photoshop and the like) still work but show as "install" instead of "Up to date". Initially I thought I'd have to re-install the Cloud app or recreate the OPM data base but then I noticed that some of the Cloud app preferences (Apps > Settings > App Language) were different to what I had set previously. I use English (International) language, the update had reverted the app back to English (North American). I flicked back to my previous language and bam, all my apps now show as being installed correctly.

Delete Lightroom preference file

Windows 7 64 bit. Currently with a Photographer CC bundle. Every time I open LR 5.5 and now 5.6 it acts as though its the first time and displays the tips dialog and changes my custom identity plate back to the original. On exit it prompts to backup even though I have it set to backup once a week on exit. My question is should I try to delete the preference file and try again or should I try a uninstall re install. How do you delete the preference file? I don't want to make things worse.

Deleting the preference file is the first and easiest thing to try -- it won't make things any worse:
Preference and other file locations in Lightroom 5
Reinstalling is the second thing to try.

I have been filling up my internal memory on my laptop after years of video editing. I now want to export all this footage to an external hard drive. What is the proper way to do this.

I have been filling up my internal memory on my laptop after years of video editing. I now want to export all this footage to an external hard drive. What is the proper way to do this.

Are the videos being stored in iMovie or another application? Have you exported/shared the video? If the video is in iMovie what version of iMovie are you using? Give as much info as possible, and you may also want to post the question in the iLife section of this forum since more people with video skills will be reading the iLife/iMovie threads.

Why does the new operating system not delete the moved files from their original location - it seems like an enormous waste of space, time and effort to clean up every file once you've moved it

Why does the new operating system not delete the moved files from their original locations - it seems like an enormous waste of space, time and effort to clean up every file once you've moved it - also, when transferring large amounts of files it becomes a very large problem remembering which files were transferred and which not.

You're going to need to be more specific, as I'm not quite sure I understand what you're talking about.
If you're referring to copying from an external hard drive or flash drive, and you want to actually move files rather than copy them, you can hold down the option key to force it to do a "move" rather than a "copy." This is not new behavior, though... the Mac OS has worked this way as long as I can recall (and I've been using it since 1984).
If you're having a problem with trying to move files from one place to another on a single drive causing them to be copied instead, that is likely because of some permissions issue preventing you from actually being able to move them.

What happened to my photos in the photo pane of my calendar project? Where there were pictures there are now dotted squares. All the pictures are still in my events.

Depending on what your needs are, you may use Pages included in iWork or purchase it separately (usually there is an evaluation copy with any new mac, I guess) or try other publishing apps. I once used MS Publisher, I remember it was something like a more sophisticated word processor, right?
You may try the cheaper DTP iCalamus or Word for mac.

Fans are running on high at all times

for some reason the fans on my computer are running oh high at all times. from the second i turn my computer on, even if the computer has been turned off for days.
does anyone know why this is?

Hi chasensanborg-
Try it with the drives disconnected. If the problem goes away, try plugging the drives in one at a time until you find the culprit.
LaCie drives tend to have power supply bricks that fail intermittently and get progressively worse. The symptom is difficult to troubleshoot as the drive will attempt to pull whatever power it needs from the FireWire bus if the brick is not supplying the right amount of juice. This can put a load on the power supply of the Mac and cause the fan to run more quickly in order to compensate for the heat generated by the load.
Luck-

Hello jimlcoff,
I found a couple of articles with steps you can take when you are not able to connect to the iTunes Store. I recommend reviewing the following articles:

Lightroom crashed and now I can't open the catalog - even after deleting the lock file.

Lightrooms crashed, which is a common occurrance. But, this last time was different. After I restarted it my catalog was not linked and all my settings were gone. I tried opening the catalog through the file menu, but absolutely nothing happens. I tried going to the folder and clicking on it but this only opens lightroom with no catalog. After having scanned this forum I found that I need to delete the .lock file, but after doing that the same things happen. Any suggestions on how to open my catalog? Will reinstalling Lightroom help?

The problems mostly happen when I am using X-Y compare in Library mode. It shows black rectancles over the tops of the sections that contain the photos and these flash. They aren't always the same size, but are only on the top of the section - never big enough to completely cover the photos. Then I get anywhere from one to about four or five extra windows stacked on top of the Lightroom Icon at the bottom of my screen (I use Windows 8) opening and closing, though there isn't enough time for me to click on them and read them because my computer gets so slow that my mouse actin is delayed by a few seconds. And, to shut Lightroom down, I need to use Windows task manager because clicking on the little red box with the X in the upper right corner accomplishes nothing. I have a new Sony Vaio i5 chip and 8Gb RAM. This also hapened on my old computer, though not as often

Can I delete tmp-archive files that are really large?

I have two extremely large files. I'm trying to take back some memory (only operating with 2 GB free space, and that's not good).
Ran Disk Inventory X to see my largest files, and found these two gems with 32.25 and 44.62 GB.
Now, I've been to one link I found discussing possible solutions:
http://forums.macrumors.com/archive/index.php/t-1474738.html
However, I'm not super tech savvy. Basically, to try and see if another program would clean these up, I downloaded both TinkerTool System and Main Menu. Ran each of them, but neither cleaned up those files.
Are they essential files? Does anyone know if I can delete them?
Thanks

In that location, there is usually just -caches and -tmp directories with no other folders.
Their presence would result from an old installation that has not cleaned up after itself.
Those two files have been there a long time; since 2011.
Given that you are short of disk space, deleting them would be a good idea, by dragging them to the trash, but you will need to be in an Admin account and you will have to supply your password to complete the operation, given that they have been installed by the system.

Backup issues. Trying to delete iTunes preference files, but Apple Computer folder is missing (should be in the roaming folder)

Want to backup before a restore, but I have no backup option available in iTunes. I'm pretty sure I found the answer as this has solved the problem for others in other forums:
Remove iTunes Preference files
Some of the files that iTunes uses to store settings and preferences may be unusable and cause issues. iTunes has two folders where preferences are saved. Move one of them to the desktop and test to see if the issue persists. If it does, move it back and remove the second folder. The location for the two preference folders are:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes
BUT after getting into both my roaming and local folder I find I do not even have an 'apple computer' folder. I have iTunes installed on my computer and have used it so I am confused. I use Windows 7.
I would appreciate anyone's help. Thanks!

Nevermind. I found the files. It didn't work anyway as the files kept repopulating themselves after I deleted them and reopened iTunes.

After deleting "Envelope Index" files Mail cannot re-index

I followed the common suggestion of deleting "Envelope Index" files to speed up mail, but after restarting Mail, it freezes when re-indexing my archive: it blocks after indexing just 6,000 messages out of my 600,000 messages (I have a pretty big email archive). I've tryed anything (reinstalling Mail, importing in Thunderbird or Postbox), but no way to get back to my email archieve
Moreover: I couldn't find Envelope Index* files in my Time Machine backup (tried "find" via shell, but no way)!
Special prizes to anyone who can help me!
Thanks.

I followed the common suggestion of deleting "Envelope Index" files to speed up mail
That's not a way to speed up Mail.
Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

File present after deleting from gallery file

This problem seems to have multiple symptoms:
I save an image over another image in the gallery, but the original image is displayed.
I delete an image file from the gallery file then save another file into the folder with the same name as the previously deleted then the deleted image is displayed when used.
I delete an image file from the gallery folder then start a new, blank, project and the image file that I deleted is available to use in the project...but the file isn't in the gallery!?
Can someone please help me figure out how to permanently remove these "ghost" files?

Indeed it isn't clear.
So I'm not sure what you are reporting here. It sounds as if you have visited the Gallery in order to delete an unwanted image, no? And on deleting an unwanted image, you create a new project and somehow see it?
For one thing, a totally new project shouldn't be using anything from the Gallery. Now there may be other content that gets added if you elected to use a Theme. Is that perhaps what's happening here?
What exactly are you seeing that you wish to wave goodbye to? A screen shot might help. To add one, use the Camera icon in the web interface to the forums. Don't try to attach to email.
Cheers... Rick

Deleted apps preference file

How would one delete an apps preference file when the app is deleted.
Thanks

I'd like to think so, but I have deleted apps that have preferences in the setting that are still there.
These have been deleted from both the Ipad and Itunes.

After deleting FF preference file, Footers are now located higher on all printed pages, causing some one-page emails to extend to a second page.
