Annoying feature in Windows version PS

Recently I switched to windows, and I noticed there's a huge annoying fearture on windows version photoshop(it's cc btw). It's that whenever you use mouse wheel scroll to change value in input field(such as Hue/saturation) or browsing through options bar, they will keep being activated and highlighted, no matter where you move the cursor, different from Mac that activation follows your cursor(which is more user friendly), but you have to hit the screen with arrow or other tools to deactivate. It makes it really inconvenient because very often I need to use wheel scroll zooming back n forth on canvas to check details and the overall feeling, then the mouse wheel becomes very sensitive, for I have to be very cautious and frequently check back if there's any other options activated. Even more dreadful, with a function sub-window opened(like smart sharpen window), it's even harder to deactivate the highlighted in the new window.
For this feature, I really missed my old mac, I don't know if this is even changable, I hope I made my point clear, and appreciate if anyone could help!!

Shocked by lack of features on Mac version compared to Windows. Why?

Just downloaded Premiere elements 11 and shocked to find that the full set of features are not supported on the mac version, most notably the chroma, green and blue keying effects/ filters. Why is this?? I use a mac not as a fashion statement, but because they are the industry standard for creative businesses. ALL photographic, graphic design, editing etc suites use macs, so why give these features to windows and NOT macs? Makes absolutely no sense at all and I am shocked not to mention disappointed!!

There are differences between the Mac and PC platform, and not just with Premiere Elements, but also Premiere Pro. The PC gets more Effects, and Transitions. This was first noted in Premiere Pro CS 3, when it was ported to the Mac. Before, with Premiere Pro 1.0, through CS 2/verson 2.0, the program was PC-only. When PrPro CS 3 was introduced, the Mac-users took note that their PC friends got more than they did.
At that time, there were many posts to the PrPro Forum, regarding the differences. Adobe engineers commented on the differences between how the two platforms handled some aspects of the program - and mainly display functions. This list of Effects & Transitions in CS 3, for Mac and PC, will show what was different between those two platforms: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/460313?tstart=1470 [Note: this was for PrPro, and it has/had many differences, from PrE, so this is not a clear difference chart between PrE for the Mac and the PC, but you can get the idea. It is for background reference use only.]
Something similar happened, when PrPro went from CS 4 to CS 5, which was a 64-bit program ONLY. A lot of Effects and such were lost in the new version, and some were "old stand-bys" for users of the earlier program. In time, a few DID show up in later versions of PrPro, but not all. Some were 32-bit only, and Adobe deemed it too expensive to port all of them to 64-bit, so they were just dropped, and have never reappeared. The same thing happened with many 3rd party plug-ins. Once, they were all 32-bit, and that worked up until CS 5. Most suppliers then went back to the lab, and recoded their plug-ins for 64-bit, but not all. Some just dropped their support for PrPro.
While this does not help you get your job done (ATR's blog post will, however, and that was also why I suggested other Effects for Keying), it shows that PrE is not alone with the differences between platforms.
Good luck and happy editing,

Qucktime Pro for Windows lacks same features as Mac Version!?

I am very dissatified to learn (after purchasing) that QT Pro for windows does NOT have a Video Capture Feature.
The reps at Apple tech support all told me the program was exactly the same as the Mac version. So I purchased it only to discover no Video Capture option, only Audio.
I am writing on this forum:
A) to let others know that this is not a bug,
B) to let Apple become aware so that their own employees understand their products better.
C) to help Apple realize that they need to change their website (as it just glosses over this issue with vague feature descriptions on the windows version of the QT Pro site and also in hopes that Apple will change its decisions to disable Windows versions in order to allow their Apple version to be slightly better for marketing reasons... there can be no reason why simple Video Capture (at least thru DV) shouldnt be in the software on the Win version and
D) to ask if anyone knows of any 3rd party plugins that will allow for Video Capture thru QT Pro.
(so far my 2 previous posts were deleted... so I dont expect too much here, but I am trying to be constructive with my criticism. Apple please help!?)
(copying this message to tech support and Apple product management in case it is deleted, they will be also notified of that)
thanks for any help, I'm sorry it has come to this...
Anyone know of a plugin?

thanks for finally answering. Even if you deleted the previous post, you could have emailed me about the issue. Instead it just disappeared.
I'm not an Apple employee. We're all just your fellow users here. I just know a complaint post when I see one.
So Why does the windows version "lack the support architecture
Only the QuickTime project engineers could answer that.
in the Mac version, it does say Video and Audio capture, and on the Win version, it says "Video and Audio Creation features" and it also lists Audio Capture... But dont you think it shoudl list somewhere "VIDEO CAPTURE FEATURE ala the Mac version is NOT INCLUDED". Why be vague about it?
It's not vague to me. If a feature isn't listed, I don't presume that it exists. But again, if you want to comment on this to Apple, use the Feedback page I gave in my previous post.
even tho you say there is no way a plugin would work, I did find a Java based plugin that is supposed to work... havent installed it yet.
I presume you're referring to QuickTime Capture. That's not a true QuickTime plugin, it's an applet, but we'd be getting into semantics, so I won't belabor the point. If that is indeed the Java applet you're referring to, it seems to be a frame-by-frame grabber, not a true video importer, so I'm not sure it's going to work for you. But of course there's no harm in trying it; it might do the job for you. If not, there are a lot of Windows video import utilities available (including the free Microsoft Movie Maker).

Feature request for the windows version section..

Does there exist anywhere to raise feature requests for any future releases of MBSA?
The additional system information section of the report, and "windows version", it would be useful if it could include service pack number number, as well as flag it as a vulnerability (red X) if the version/SP level identified is out of Microsoft
support. That would be very useful.

For request like this you need to go here to the itunes feedback page http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp

TS1578 How can I remove this "feature" ? I always use caps lock key and it's so annoying ! I'm fed up ! I received my new MBA yesterday, but I think I'm going to come back on Windows because of that ! So is there a solution to remove this annoying feature

How can I remove this "feature" ?
I always use caps lock key and it's so annoying (I write very fast) ! I'm fed up ! I received a MBA 13" yesterday, but I think I'm going to come back to Windows because of that !
So is there a solution to remove this annoying feature ?
Thank you very much

Yes, this is really a deal breaker for me as you say ... I'm forced to write three times slower than I did on Windows 8, that's horrible (I used to type about 110 words/min).
I'm going to return my Mac and I think I'm going to buy an Asus laptop instead ...
What a shame that Apple does not do anything for this to be configured, I have read other forums and I see that I'm not the only one complaining about that ...
How to lose customers so stupidly ...
But thank you for your reply.

Video Editing feature in latest version of Photoshop CS6 does not exist/work. How do I fix this problem?

Hi everyone! I downloaded CS6 for a graphic design class that I was taking. I later found out that you could edit videos with the essentials portion of CS6 since it no longer has to be extended like in CS5. I went to import some videos from bridge and bridge would not allow me to do so. I also tried to open the files in Photoshop and I as I was looking at the type of files that I could open like quicktime files, wmv., mov., etc., I could not find anything relating to opening videos. The only thing that showed up were types of image files to open. Did I buy a faulty version of this program? Is there a way to get the video editing feature back on here or do I have to breakdown and buy Photoshop essentials separately?
Thank you!

Try dropping the video file on CS6 it should open. Maks sure CS6 is up to date. Version 13.0.6 Mac version 13.0.1.3 Windows Version 13.1.2 subscription. Also post you CS6 menu Help>System Info... Copy and paste here. You can see have the subscription version and use Windows 7....

[New Thinkpad Yoga 12 2015] enable Hyper-V feature on Windows 8.1 pro

Hello,
i am a french customer, and i am very interested in the New Thinkpad Yoga 12 2015, especially the version available with Windows 8.1 Pro. and processor Intel Core i7-5500U.
As an IT expert in Database technonlogies, i used to create virtual machines with the 'Hyper-V client' feature available in Windows 8.1 Pro.
- I saw that the Intel Core i7-5500U processor is compatible with the Intel VT-x and EPT virtualization technologies.
- i saw that the Bios menu offers to enable/disable 2 virtualization parameters (link : http://download.lenovo.com/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/yoga_12_ug_en.pdf)
Do you know if the New Thinkpad Yoga 12 allows to enable the 'Hyper-V client' feature under Windows 8.1 Pro ?
It is very important for me to have this information, because a computer without the 'Hyper-V client' is not usefull for me
So before buying this computer, i have to be sure that it will be able to enable the 'Hyper-V client'.
Thanks a lot for tour reply

Good day.

Single Window Mode for Windows version?

Hey there,
as some might know, there's a "hack" to get Single Window Mode for Safari on Mac. Normally. links with "target=_blank" will open in a new window instead of a new tab. In order to get Single Window Mode, the following code needs to be typed into Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true
Unfortunately, this won't work on Windows, so I would like to know if there's another way to have Single Window Mode.

No, there isn't. That feature is not implemented in the Windows version The only way to open targeted links in a new Tab is to Control-click or Right-click on the link and select Open in New Tab from the contextual menu.

Syncing iTunes across Different Platforms (Windws & PC) - Windows Version

Im not sure where to put this questions so I'm adding it to the iTunes for Mac secion as well. I have an iTouch that I have been using on my Windows platform iTunes. In addition to music, I also use iTunes to sync up my contacts and calendar list from Micosoft Office Oulook to my Touch.
Last week I switched to Mac and ported all my music to a new iTunes libary on my Mac. Due to issues with Office I can not use the Mac ver of office for my contacts and calendar.
I loaded VMware Fusion and Windows XP on my Mac and installed iTunes for Windows. I did not move any music, podcasts, etc... over to the Fusion/Windows iTunes - only my contacts and calendar info is on that version.
Now I have two instances of iTunes on my Mac... a Mac version and a Windows version under Fusion.
What I would like to do is:
- Sync my iTouch for Music only using the iTunes running under Mac.
- Sync my iTouch to the Windows version under Fusion for the contact list and calendar updates. This version will not have any music in the library.
Questions:
1) Can I do this without causing a melt down on my touch?
2) What happens when you sync to a library without music? Does it erase the music on the touch?
3) I havent tried to sync my touch to the Mac yet- what will happen when a windows based touch tries to load a mac based iTunes?
If this doesnt work I guess I could reload all my music to the Fusion(PC) version of iTunes and be done with it but I would really like to use my Mac version.
Thanks,
Jim

You have got to be kidding! I have been trying for months to do this between my three machines. What exactly is the point to having an iTunes account for multiple machines if you can not have the same library across them? If this isn't the stupidest thing I've come across in years, honest to Pete...
What if I use a thumb drive to keep the directories manually synced? Or does apple go the extra step to prevent this too? Can you point to a library through the intranet? I could just put up a server and point my machines to it, boy wouldn't that be speedy and elegant.
I just want to scream this is so annoying. I might as well go back to a system that works, a Windows phone... The iPhone isn't that much nicer than my old tilt.

Photoshop Elements 4 - Mac versus Windows versions

I downloaded a trial of PE4 onto my Windows machine at work and found it really impressive - great interface, easy to navigate and some great features. On the back of this I bought the Mac version by download, but have found that it is different in several areas, with much poorer navigation and other bits 'missing' such as the pan and zoom effects in slideshow mode.
Has anyone else found similar or am I just not looking in the right places?
I have to say, good programme that it is, I'm dissapointed with it compared to the Windows version. Performance wise I'm happy enough though. It's certainly as fast as the Windows one.

Yes, in many ways the Mac version is superior to the Windows version. In PE 4, for example, you get Bridge (as you would with full PS) as opposed to the Organizer, which is not really any better than iphoto. As suzuken said, Adobe assumes that with iphoto you wouldn't want Organizer too. I myself hate being forced to use the organizer in Windows.
For instance, on the mac you can create a contact sheet and save it, while in the Organizer, you have to print your contact sheet right away and recreate it again next time. It's true the mac version only has the simple pdf slideshow, but iphoto makes slideshows at least as competently as Organizer (and doesn't force you to output WMV files).
As for Universal--each version of PE is based on the current version of PS. According to Bruce Chizen, Adobe's CEO, there won't be a universal version of PS until PS CS3, due in Q2 of 2007, so it will be after that before there's a universal version of PE.

Unexpected permission "feature" in Windows 7

I stumbled upon an unexpected permissions "feature" of Windows 7. I was testing some ActiveX code used to write an Excel spreadsheet, and got a crash when I tried to close my file. The same code worked just fine on my Windows XP machine, and it didn't matter if I used LabVIEW 8.6 or LabVIEW 2009.
Both machines were set up in the "standard" manner, and I was running as the sole user in an account with Administrator privileges. My test file was C:\Test.xls. When I invoked the ActiveX Close, I got an unknown error (-2146877284, which LabVIEW said was "unknown", but occurred in Excel).
When I examined the permissions for C:, I discovered that (for both XP and 7) the group "Users" has Read, but not Write, permissions, while "Administrators" have both Read and Write. XP seems to allow the write, so works without errors. Windows 7 may "want" to pop up the UAC window (which it definitely does not do), but I'm guessing that it is both ignoring my Administrator credentials and generating an "unknown" error call.
To test this theory, I wrote another routine to try to write a text file using standard LabVIEW VIs. When I do a File Open with the Create option for a file on the root of the C: drive, I get Error 8 (File Permission error), which at least makes sense (after the fact).
I've brought this to the attention of the NI Support Team (who helped me figure this out). If this is, indeed, the UAC getting into the fray, it would be "nice" if LabVIEW could notify us ...

In retrospect, I agree this is "expected behavior in Windows 7". It
was completely unexpected by me, in part because it arose in a curious
context. I originally developed my code on Windows XP, and made use of
the ability to right-click an ActiveX property node and get "Help for
Close" (for example). In addition, the code I developed worked fine in
the early version where I did not try to write the results to a
file. When I moved it to Windows 7, the right-click help was missing,
and seemed to be OS-specific. As it happened, I was trying to add the
"Close" ability to save the file, and to simplify the path, I used
C:\Test.xls (much easier to type than C:\Users\Robert Schor\My
Documents\Test.xls), and had to go back to my XP machine to find out
descriptions for the arguments of the Close command. So when the
program failed with an error message that was "off the wall" (referring
to an error code of -214682784, as well as a file name of C:\2CE93000),
I made the (logical?) assumption that this was "another Windows
7/LabVIEW incompatibility" bug/feature. This was, of course, bolstered
by the observations that things worked under Windows XP and both
"failures" occurred in Windows 7.
It would be "nice" to
fix the problem with Help to work with Windows 7. It would also be
"nice" to arrange to trap UAC-produced "errors" and have LabVIEW return
an error code such as 8 (even nicer would be to add an error code that
says "Windows UAC prevented access to this file").

How do you turn off the Application Frame in the Windows version of CS6?

I have successfully turned off the Application Frame on my Mac version of CS6 but can not find the same functionality in my Windows version. Anyone know how to turn off
this feature in the Windows version?

Application Frame is a Mac only feature
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-application-frame-document-window.ht ml#main_Application_frame__Mac_OS_X_Only_
It's the normal behaviour by design for all software in the Windows environment so there's no on-off toggle.

Is there a "restore" feature, like windows has? I installed "CleanGenius" and it has totally screwed up my computer! I just want to go back home!! Thanks

I recently downloaded a trial version of CleanGenius from MacPromo..looked promising, but after I ran it, most of my oft visited sites are totally garbled or missing. Facebook, eBay, a local newpaper, etc all screwed up..unreadable. Is there a "restore" feature (like Windows system restore) that I can use so that all this will just seem like a bad dream? Hope so..thanks for your time. Dave

I then saw the above response from WZZZ whose advise to visit a web site that was so general as to be unhelpful.
First, you were posting in an older thread titled "Is there a restore feature....?" Next, you had no idea what files your crapware program removed. The idea was to return your computer to the state it was in before you did the so called "cleaning." If you had bothered to look around that extremely detailed site, which you in ignorance describe as "being so general as to be unhelpful," you would easily have found 14. How do I restore my entire system?
http://pondini.org/TM/14.html
And simply moving that program to the Trash wouldn't have restored the files it removed. And, it is also possible that parts of that program are still on your computer because it may have installed important or unimportant files elsewhere than in /Applications.
And Debbie and friends at Apple know nothing about Time Machine. It will restore your computer to the state it was in, minus any subsequently installed applications.
Besides, removing your crapware program wasn't your question. It was how do I restore my system to where it was before I allowed that program to run.
The notifications issue had nothing to do with your original question. It happened because of the way you initially set up your account here.
So, thanks for your gratitude.

HP Split X2 upgraded from Windows 8 pre-loaded to Win 8.1, now cannot run Add feature to Windows 8.1

Hi!
i have purchased a HP Split X2 13.3" laptop in a computer show slightly more than 1 year ago.
it comes with Windows 8 pre-loaded at that time.
Later on, Microsoft offer free upgrade for all Win 8 to Win 8.1 and i did that as well.
Everything goes perfectly smooth unless recently when i try to go Control Panel run Add Feature to Windows 8.1,
it ask me for product key!!
When i looked the bottom of my Split X2 laptop, it does not have the sticker of the Windows product key. There is only 1 Windows 8 hologen sticker! Hence, i use some key finder application to detect the product key.
I enter the product key when i run Add Feature to Win 8.1 again, but the Windows prompted me key is not valid.
Why?
The Win8.1 insalled is genuine version. I can perform regular Windows updates without issue.
Appreciate if any expert can help to resolve my issue.
Thanks a lot,
Nkboy
This question was solved.

Hi
The Add Feature is to upgrade your current Windows 8/8.1 Core Edition to Windows 8/8.1 Pro or Windows 8/8.1 Media Center Edition.
It requires you to purchase particular Product key with regard to Add Features option.
Here are some links to help you understand it:
