All Files Opening at 72ppi

Photoshop 10.0.1
Power Mac G5
OSX 10.4.11
2GB DDR SDRAM Memory
When I open PSD or TIFF (unsure about other file formats) files previously worked on, saved, and then closed at a specific resolution (example 1" x 1" at 300ppi), they now open at 4.167" x 4.167" 72ppi (a size proportional to the saved 300ppi).
I have both manually deleted the Preference file, as well as rebuilt the Preference file by holding down the Shift-Control-Option-Command keys, and this still is occurring. Any suggestions to have the files open as they were saved, and not as (the apparently new default) 72ppi?
Perhaps unrelated, Photoshop is occasionally crashing as well, but I am having a difficult time determining exactly what is the cause of that. I did have additional memory installed recently, and was wondering if that may be "failing" and causing the crashes.
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
Thank you.

Any value for ppi is irrelevant to your work on images inside of Photoshop.
It's best to learn to think of image width & height solely in terms of absolute pixel values, e.g.: 2400pxW × 3600pxH. Internally, Photoshop calculates the raster aspect of images ONLY in pixels. Conversion to other units of measurement are done on-the-fly, and are displayed only as a convenience to the user, if they have chosen to have them display.
The only reason you ever really need to consider the implications of a ppi value is when you are determining whether you have the proper resolution for the output you're after when you go to print.
For the web, the ONLY width/height dimensions that matter are expressed in absolute pixel values.

CC14, all files open with asterisk in file name.

CC14, all files open with asterisk in file name, need to save or cancel to close file. Is there a way to change that?

No. It happens to any InDesign file. I created a new file in CC14, saved, closed, opened and it had the asterisk.
If it is a time synchronization, how do I correct that?

After the 13.1 retina update, all files open at 50% zoom

Hi there,
I have a 15 MacBook Pro retina display, with an external thunderbolt display. Since the 13.1 update, all files that I open in Photshop open at 50% zoom. How can I reset it so they open at 100%? It's really annoying to have to constantly zoom everything that is opened up.
Thanks!

As a work-around to your problem:
1. Make an action that zooms the window to 100% (Photoshop calls it Actual Pixels)
2. In Scripts Events Manager assign that action to the File Open event.
From now on every image will open at 100%

Logging all file opens immediately at systemd boot?

when I start my stage-2 systemd boot, I want to log every file that is being opened for reading or writing (to /var/log/accessed.log). am I reinventing the wheel if I write this or is there already a standard service that does this?
my plan is to use the fanotify_event framework to write a file logger, presumably with a service file like.
[Unit]
Description=fanotify-logger
DefaultDependencies=no
After=local-fs.target
[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/fanotify-all / /var/log/accessed.log
is there a best-practices recommendation where local sysadmins should insert such services (e.g., which directory, steps, etc.) and, does my logger need to know how to shutdown, or will the standard systemd service shut this down by itself?

You used to be able to do this with boot.kernel.org, but not anymore.
pxelinux.0 isn't the kernel, and you can only use it if you have an actual pxe installation available which I don't think is there at releng.archlinux.org.
You have to install your own pxe setup and yes it does use NFS.
If you are using qemu you don't even need the ipxe, it is already included with qemu.

Ai file opening by default as PDF and not w/AI CS3/4 on MAC client

We have recently moved our central file shares of *.*ai files from a windows file server to an EMC Celerra file server CIFS share. After the migration multiple MAC users have reported that some (but not all) *.* ai files on the share open up by default as a PDF file instead of opening up with Adobe Illustrator CS3/4.
If the user either right clicks - and selects to explicitly open with AI or if mac mouse, control-click and select AI - then the .ai file in question opens properly in CS3 and CS4. However when we double click, the file still opens up in preview as a PDF.
Is this something we need to change/update on the MAC OS side so that default will be AI? change/update onthe Adobe CS side? Or is this a problem related to the *.*ai files being shared on a EMC Celerra share. Again not all the *.*ai files have this issue - which has created even more questions...
Any info or suggestions would be deeply appreciated....
Thank you
Dave

I don't know anything about the EMC Cellera share, but I would say that this is a change on the OS side. Apple likes to think that Preview is the natural tool for viewing any PDF content, so Preview is now the default PDF viewer on Mac. You'll need to go to each of the Macs, do a Get Info and set Open With: Illustrator and Change All.
The reason this is happening on some of the .ai files and not others is that some of them do not contain PDF content (they were saved with PDF Compatibility unchecked.) To make sure that all files open with Illustrator do the Change All step on at least on file that does not have PDF content as well as one that does.
When Apple made this change in the OS, we asked them, for a way to set the default app programatically so that we could do it as part of the install process, but that didn't happen.

QT 7.2 crash on file open

I've been trying to view video files off my digital camera today and they do not work. Opining any video file created by that camera causes an immediate crash of quick time player, trying to open in safari causes safari to crash and trying to 'get info' on the file causes the finder to relaunch
this is on a
Powermac dual G5
OS 10.4.10
QT 7.2
Camera is a Canon powershot S410
all files open and work fine on my powerbook G4 with OS 10.4.10 and QT 7.1.5

The Safari and Finder issues are probably also related to third party codecs you've installed.
Perian removes the need for those codecs but does not remove them from your machine.
Rummage through your HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder and remove any with an X in their name.
Look, too, in your User/HD/Library/QuickTime folder for them.
Quit and relaunch any open browser and QuickTime and test again.

How to Fix This? Files open by default at smallest percentage

Never had this issue in previous versions of Photoshop. Just upgraded to CS6 and played with a few of the Preferences.
For some reason, all files open at the smallest percentage possible (as small as <1%). Anyone know how to set a default open size, or if I managed to check a box that made this happen? It's really annoying to zoom in on every document that I open.

No doubt you're on a Mac and have sized the bottom of the application Frame up as high as it will go, to try to emulate the way it looked in the last version you had.
Try making the window tall again, then eliminating the Application Frame the proper way, by choosing Windows - Application Frame (i.e., uncheck it).
That should fix it for you.

I have recently updated my CC programs to the latest version and now all of my files wont open by default into their respective programs, only if I open the program and go to file open and open the file from there. How can I fix this?

I have recently updated my CC programs to the latest version (CC2014) and now all of my files wont open by default into their respective programs, only if I open the program and go to file>open and open the file from there. How can I fix this?
I have tried 'Open with' and the version of the program now installed on my computer isn't even suggested as an option and when I browse for it, the file wont open with it anyway

On Windows (don't know about Mac), the latest version will always take over the file association, and become the default for indd files. It's impossible to change it.
But there is a plugin for ID that makes this possible. Never tried it myself.

I have an iMac. , mid 2007. Frequently, when I take an action, the little color wheel starts spinning and goes on for quite awhile. Save a file, close a file, open a file, open a window, it's all random. Somtimes it stalls, sometimes it doesn't. Why?

Consider adding more memory. Be sure you have adequate free space on the hard drive - 15 GBs or 10% of the drive's capacity, whichever is greater. Do not run too many applications concurrently. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on resolving the SBBOD.
Do some maintenance:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. Drive Genius provides additional tools not found in Disk Warrior. Versions 1.5.1 and later are Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
SuperDuper!
SyncTwoFolders
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.
Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.

Deleted the app in the dock that compiles all your open files and fans them out as icons. What is it and how do I get it back?

When I bought my macbook pro, I deleted the app in the dock that complies all your open files together. When you click on the app it fans all the icons out. What is that app called and how do I find it again/get it back??
Thanks!

okay... got that...but before I deleted it, it would "fan" all my open web pages, or open PDF files. So they were in a little folder as opposed to lined up beside my trash bin?
make any sense?

I have a brand new macbook pro 15" with latest Lion.Can anyone tell me why, when I open word or preview etc that multiple files open?For eg if I open a word doc, the last 1-3 docs that I have worked on all open. why?

You have a choice as to whether or not applications in Lion like Word or Preview (or even Safari) save and re-open previous documents or windows... just hold down the option key while quitting a program and when you re-open it you won't get the previous documents or windows when you re-open the application. You can see this by selecting the open program in the menu bar and when holding down the option key the quit function will change to quit and discard open windows. This feature in Lion is referred to as "Resume" and is great if you want to restart an app and return to what you're doing (for example in Safari re-opening existing windows and tabs from your previous session). You still have the option to close individual windows within an app before quitting and they will not re-open when the app is launched again.
This Resume function is not related to saving your work (a word or text document for example). This is handled by Lion's "Auto-Save" and "Versions" functions. See http://www.apple.com/ca/macosx/whats-new/auto-save.html
Hopefully this is the complete answer you're looking for.

I am a Windows Vista User. I updated my iTunes Version 10.3. Then, when I re-opened my iTunes, all files were gone! Good thing I consolidated the files and just imported the files again. But, this happens every time I close and open my iTunes. Help?

How do I keep a file open and am able to look at all the pictures in the file?

I want to oepn a file with 24 picturees for example. I want to keep that file open so that I can see all 24. Then I can work on 1 picture or another. Now each time i finish with a picture and save it if I then open another pciture it overlays the other. I was able to do the above in my earlier version of photoshop.

Editor preferences>general, and turn on Allow Floating Documents. Then Window>Images>float all in windows.

File Open ... then all greyed out?

Greetings,
CS5, 12.0.1, iMac, with 2.8 GHz INtel Core i7.
If I ask CS5 to open a file (File>Open) all menus simply grey out, and no dialog box appears to allow navigation to the file to be opened. Ultimately I have to Force Quit, though Photoshop is not shown as "not responding." in that dialog box. I'd appreciate any help understanding what is happening, and how to remedy.
Thank you,
Jim

The open dialog is probably there, just offscreen somewhere.
Pressing escape will close it.
Did you have another display connected recently? The OS may still think that display is active, and be putting the save dialog on that other display.
Also, Spaces has been known to cause wonkiness like that (because it tricks the apps into thinking that multiple displays are active, and doesn't always work).
