Annoying Pop-Up Starting Photoshop - What Does It Mean and How to Solve?
Every time I open Photoshop I get this pop-up message saying,
"For the Photoshop UI to display correctly, open System Preferences, click Appearance, and turn off text smoothing for font sizes 8 and smaller."
I have no idea what this means. I just keep clicking 'ok' and I'm taken to the interface without so much as a hiccup. There's an option not to display the message again but I don't know if it would be optimal for me to do something about this or not. My question is, what exactly is this message, should I do something about, and if so, what? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Also, I'm running Photoshop CS5 Extended on a Quad-Core iMac with Snow Leopard OSX 10.6.8

@Jeff - Thanks but...no thanks. If you misconstrued that as attitude, well, I apologize for your sensitivity. I'd rather sound silly over unrelevent like your post and apparently that pop-up. The pop-up message is clear, yes I know. As if my last two posts didn't get across what I was getting at, maybe third times a charm. My text anti-aliasing prefs are set just fine, no mis-set here. Whether the setting is changed or not the UI displays perfectly. Why be bothered to change something that's fine as it is? in comparing the UI in the most minute detail with the preferred settings of Photoshop or my default settings on my system, both are fine.
Uh huh...well, I'm glad you're happy with the System Preferences set where you have them...I'm running 5 different displays (all LCDs) with the option set to turn off text smooting for fonts at 6 and smaller...with no problems with readability.
Not sure exactly why you would want to set your prefes to 4 and smaller (you still haven't given a reasonable reason). But Chris gave you the way to avoid the warning...whether or not you want to avail yourself to the solution is up to you.
Personally, I hope you keep it at 4 and under and remember this discussion each and everytime you see that nag warning...and remember it's within your power to avoid it.
Just to be clear, 6 and under is Apple default and you've still not given a real reason why you changed it...and the odds of Adobe changing the warning are about as close to zero as you might imaginge since as far as I can remember, you're the first person to complain.
But hey, you do what you wanna do. No skin off my nose, ya know?

When I tried to sync my iphone 4 and ipad in iturnes, an error message popped up saying this device cannot be used because Apple Mobile Device service is not started! What does that mean and how do I start service? I've had these devices for over a year and update and sync regularly and have never seen this message before!
I got that message yesterday. I'm new at this so don't know if this is the correct solution but it worked for me. I reset my iPod by holding the 2 buttons down until the apple appears AND I restarted my computer. After that everything worked.

I have had a permanent vertical blue line on the right side of my imac screen for some time now. It does not affect the use of the computer. A red one has popped up on the right side of the screen and is not going away either.
Would you know why these are appearing and perhaps how to get rid of them please?
Thank you in advanceBest guess is that either your GPU or LCD is failing. You should take it to the nearest Apple Store or AASP for proper diagnostic. Once you know what the problem is you can decide wether or not it's worth repairing.

What does this mean and how to solve?
FXPX; in the event in the right corner below appears a yello point of acclimation.
It 's a warning but what for? All content in the project seems to be o.k.
How to discover the cause and to solve it?
Thanks,It means something in the event is missing or not linked. If the timeline content is intact It could be a clip that was imported to the event and not used.

I have a Nikon D600 and D800 and I shoot everything in Raw. I use Photoshop Elements 9 for processing but I have been unable to convert any RAW files to open in PSE. Says unable to parse the file. What does this mean and how do I fix it?
Since pse 9 can only use up to camera raw 6.5 and the d600 needs at least 7.3 and the d800 needs at least 6.7, you can use the
8.6 adobe dng converter to convert those files to dng copies, which then pse 9 should open.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:

Check for .dll files
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
Reboot your computer.

Whenever I go to make an in-app purchase, a message pops up saying "this is not a test user account." What does that mean and how can I get rid of it so I can purchase things?
Try a soft-reset and see if it works after your phone has restarted (it seems ot have fixed the error for a number of people on here) : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

When trying to download Itunes this pops up " key not valid for use in specified state" what does this mean and how can I fix it? I am using a pc laptop if that makes any difference.
Try reading through this thread: key not valid for use in specified state. Possible solution involves moving the RSA folder. Rather than deleting it as aniwack suggested I'd try this:
For "Key not valid for use in specified state" errors try moving the folder RSA from C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA to say C:\RSA (just in case there should be a need to restore it) then try installing again. This folder appears to act as a cache and should be rebuilt automatically as required.
