Any problems to PS CS4 if I do an archive/install of Leopard?

Hi!
I have PS CS4 installed on my Mac running Leopard. The CS4 version is itself an upgrade from CS3. I need to do an archive & install of Leopard as I am having some problems with my system. Will this affect my PS installation? Will I have to reinstall? If so, will I need to start with CS3 and then install the CS4 upgrade? What about the licence?
Thanks.
Stephen

It will have no impact whatsoever on CS4 or any other application.
All Adobe Upgrades are full installers. No need to install a previous version that you won't use. When the Upgrade installer does not find a serial number, it will simply ask you for the old serial number as well as the new one.

Problem with iphoto 09 (lost all faces/locat) when installing Snow leopard

Hi,
Before updating to the new snow leopard I did a back up using time machine so I am safe with regards to all photos I have. I first use to use Aperture 2 but found it not useful and when Iphoto 09 came I bought it and imported all photos from Aperture library to iphoto.
I then spent days and days updating the face recognition and also updated the locations on all photos, I have about 10000 photos so it took a while..Then I made a back up with everything and updated to the new snow leopard. Now all my faces and locations are gone. The photos are still in the old aperture library but I really do not want to spend another 3 days or so updating all the faces again.
Also one small issue, I am not able to update my aperture to version 2.1.4 as when I click on aperture it says you have version 2.1 and it is not compatible with snow leopard. tried to download the 2.1.4 but that also does not allow me to update...
Any idea on what to do??

What do you see in the iPhoto Window?
tried to download the 2.1.4 but that also does not allow me to update...
Where is Aperture? All the Apple apps need to be where the installer puts them. In the case of Aperture that's loose in the Applications Folder, not in a sub-folder and not anywhere else.

Is there any problem for having Oracle and Oracle Express?

Hi
Thank you for reading my post
is there any problem with having both oracle 10gR2 and oracle express installed on the same machine?
thanks

There is no theoretical technical problem with multiple Oracle databases on a machine, and I have indeed such an environment on several machines.
Although people have been known to create their own technical problems by not being careful.
You may want to review your knowledge of Oracle architecture, as you MUST have separate ORACLE_HOMEs. The ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID are predefined for XE and it's important to keep things straight.

Help with add file name problem with Photoshop CS4

Frustrating problem: Help with add file name problem with Photoshop CS4. What happens is this. When I am in PS CS4 or CS3 and run the following script it runs fine. When I am in Bridge and go to tools/photoshop/batch and run the same script it runs until it wants interaction with preference.rulerunits. How do I get it to quit doing this so I can run in batch mode? Any help is appreciated. HLower
Script follows:
// this script is another variation of the script addTimeStamp.js that is installed with PS7
//Check if a document is open
if ( documents.length > 0 )
var originalRulerUnits = preferences.rulerUnits;
preferences.rulerUnits = Units.INCHES;
try
var docRef = activeDocument;
// Create a text layer at the front
var myLayerRef = docRef.artLayers.add();
myLayerRef.kind = LayerKind.TEXT;
myLayerRef.name = "Filename";
var myTextRef = myLayerRef.textItem;
//Set your parameters below this line
//If you wish to show the file extension, change the n to y in the line below, if not use n.
var ShowExtension = "n";
// Insert any text to appear before the filename, such as your name and copyright info between the quotes.
//If you do not want extra text, delete between the quotes (but leave the quotes in).
var TextBefore = "Lower© ";
// Insert any text to appear after the filename between the quotes.
//If you do not want extra text, delete between the quotes (but leave the quotes in).
var TextAfter = " ";
// Set font size in Points
myTextRef.size = 10;
//Set font - use GetFontName.jsx to get exact name
myTextRef.font = "Arial";
//Set text colour in RGB values
var newColor = new SolidColor();
newColor.rgb.red = 0;
newColor.rgb.green = 0;
newColor.rgb.blue = 0;
myTextRef.color = newColor;
// Set the position of the text - percentages from left first, then from top.
myTextRef.position = new Array( 10, 99);
// Set the Blend Mode of the Text Layer. The name must be in CAPITALS - ie change NORMAL to DIFFERENCE.
myLayerRef.blendMode = BlendMode.NORMAL;
// select opacity in percentage
myLayerRef.opacity = 100;
// The following code strips the extension and writes tha text layer. fname = file name only
di=(docRef.name).indexOf(".");
fname = (docRef.name).substr(0, di);
//use extension if set
if ( ShowExtension == "y" )
fname = docRef.name
myTextRef.contents = TextBefore + " " + fname + " " + TextAfter;
catch( e )
// An error occurred. Restore ruler units, then propagate the error back
// to the user
preferences.rulerUnits = originalRulerUnits;
throw e;
// Everything went Ok. Restore ruler units
preferences.rulerUnits = originalRulerUnits;
else

Printing problem with Photoshop cs4, need help

I'm using PS CS4, with a Canon Pixma iP4200 and Mac os 10.6.2. I CAN print from other programs such as TextEdit or Pages. And my printer prints a test page without any problems. However, when I try to print something from PhotoShop, the printer dialogue box opens, I see the image in the preview and the page rolls through my printer...without anything on it. Does anybody know the reason for this?? Thank you for your help.

I haven't heard of anyone else with those specific symptoms.
But another poster has had problems with his Canon 9900 not printing (but no blank page).
The first thing to do is make sure you are using the Canon drivers and not the GutenPrint/GimpPrint drivers.
After that, you probably need to check with Canon.

Problem with Bridge CS4 reading/editing XMP metadata added in Bridge CS6

Please excuse me if this is a dumb/obvious question. I did try searching the forums for similar problems and didn't find anything that seemed to speak to my issue.
I'm having a problem where Bridge CS4 won't read/edit xmp metadata (specifically, keywords and descriptions in the IPTC panel) that I have entered using CS6. it will read some files, not others. The files are all .mp4s. Of these files, I can read/edit IPTC panel metadata for some of them in Bridge CS4; I can add metadata for all of them in CS6. I see no particular pattern in these files to explain what is and isn't read/editable in CS4.
My question is whether this is a compatibility issue between different versions of CS (in this instance, CS4 and CS6). i know it's a tired refrain to blame software when it could easily be user error, in which case I'd be frankly delighted to know what i'm doing wrong. Please bear with me as I give a few more details.
I'm using macs. I've tried this on multiple systems - for instance, on a mac pro 3 which for some reason has both CS4 and CS6 installed, i can add and edit keywords using CS6, but not when using CS4. Again, in CS4, some .mp4 files read/edit, others do not.
Bridge CS4 blames the files and tells me that the selected file cannot store xmp metadata, and that the properties cannot be modified. To be specific, in the metadata panel it says "this property cannot be modified"; in the keyword panel, it says, "This file (zzz.mp4) cannot store xmp metadata. No changes will occur." This seems odd, because I'm able to add xmp metadata for the same files in CS6 on the same computer, and other computers. I know this problem would disappear if all our computers were using CS6 (or CC), but unfortunately that's not a possibility at the moment. Some of them only have CS4.
Computer details (not an exhaustive list, but two instances): mac pro 3.1 running snow leopard, 16GB memory; macbook pro 4.1 running snow leopard, 4GB memory; adobe bridge cs6 (5.0.0.399) and cs4 (3.0.0.464).
Things I have tried:
Permissions - the files are set to read/write for everyone. Given that I can add/edit metadata in CS6, it doesn't seem to be a permission issue.
Purging the cache - other users seem to have had problems adding metadata in Bridge CS4 where purging the cache for affected files solved the problem. Didn't work in this instance.
Upgrading all affected computers to CS6/CC is beyond my control. I need to figure out why CS4 won't let me read/add/edit xmp metadata, if only for the sake of understanding the broader implications for interoperability.
Any helpful suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin

adobe bridge cs6 (5.0.0.399) and cs4 (3.0.0.464).
Without having experience with mp4 files and metadata my observation is that you certainly have not updated Bridge CS6 ( should be 5.0.2.4) and I believe also not the latest version of CS4, can't imaging this also stayed at .0.0 so first try to update both.
And if CS4 can read the data of some files it should be capable of reading them all. Be sure to have the files completely cached first, can take a while.
Other things to try in CS4 is refresh preferences (hold down option key while restarting Bridge and choose reset prefs).
And also check for hidden cache files using menu view/show hidden files. Sometimes those cache files can be troublesome between versions.
If purge cache did not work and reset prefs also failed consider to also delete Bridge plist file and Bridge cache file manual (from user library)

HELP! Cursor problem in Photoshop CS4 on Vista laptop

i downloaded the trial version of Photoshop CS4, and as soon as i installed it i had this problem.
when i use the tablet, it would be fine and prefectly responsive
however, if i walk away from the laptop for about 20secs or more, i just cant seem to get any response on photoshop when i use the tablet
i am not sure what is the real cause of the problem but its a constant annoyance, and the only way i can solve it, is to exit photoshop, and start it up again.
only to have the same thing occur if i pause to do something else or alt+tab to check my email or whatever...
i can confirm that theres nothing wrong with my tablet as it works for my other programs like Manga Studio EX or MS paint(lol)
so i have NO idea why it is so buggy on Photoshop CS4.
photoshop and vista just doesnt seem to get along... last year i bought photoshop CS3, installed it on my laptop(vista) and...bam... it just couldnt work.
i guess ive learnt from my mistake and downloaded the trial version this time...
i would appreciate any reply to my question

i've uploaded a screenshot to try to help explain whats my problem :/
the left circle shows when i just opened PS, it works fine,
the right circle is the only type of response i can get after i come back to PS
and yes i am using ONLY the paint tool throughout.
incase you're wondering, yes... i restart photoshop everytime i have the problem to get this far... which is really fustrating...
hoping anyone can help
oh and i wrote the blue stuff in MS paint btw, so it really isnt a problem with the tablet

Problems with photoshop CS4 in Windows Vista 32 bits

I have installed Photoshop CS4 in Vista Ultimate 32 bits, in the installation i don´t have any problems.
When click to run Photoshop, Vista launch a message saing me to close de application, so i can´t start Photoshop.
Then i update de drivers of my Graphics card (ATI HD2900), and i try to start photoshop with the new drivers. The photoshop starts without problems.

After that i start Photoshop and i read a message that says that Photoshop have desactivate the aceleration of GPU because there were some problems.
I go to the menu of performance in settings and Vista launch another message to close de application when i click in performance to open the settings.
Then i try to open another time the application and i try to open a *.png image file and i paint something in it, then i click in the "X" to close, but the application doesn´t close (i prove with "X" of the application and with the "X" of the image tab). I have to close it with de Task Manager.
Then i try to open a *.jpg image file and Vista launch another message to close the application.
I don´t know the reason of these problems, i´m trying to find something in internet.
I hope you can help me to resolve this problems, i need photoshop.
Thank you in advance.

Have you checked that the files actually "belong" to anyone? If you reinstalled your system recently, they may have invalid security descriptors. Try to check. Right-click one of the offending files, choose "Properties", then go to the security settings tab. You should at least see 3 entries (Administrators,[your user name], System). If you see additional entries only consisting of numbers and letters, uncheck the "inherit parent folder settings" option, choose to copy all permissions in the prompt that comes up, then delete those invalid entries. In addition, you may need to set a new owner in the "Advanced" options (it should however default to Administrator after the previous steps)...

Problems opening InDesign CS4 files in CS5

We have just upgraded to CS5 to take advantage of the tracked changes facility, and immediately encountered problems:
when opening CS4 files in CS5, we've noticed that formulae, created using charater styles, are not displaying properly. For example x = y / z, which would have the x and = signs dropped, the y underlined and the z on the next line, something like this (although much prettier than I can reproduce here):
x = y
z
in CS5, however, all gyphs in the formula are superimposed upon each other
we tried loading the character styles from our template document. However, that caused most of the content to dissapear!
we tried converting our template to CS5 and then loading the character styles from our template document. However, that also caused most of the content to dissapear!
Anybody got any clues?

If you are opening the CS4 files directly in CS5, try exporting CS4 files to IDML and opening the IDML files in CS5. It's worth a try if you haven't already found it doesn't help.

Arabic font problem in Indesign cs4

I was using Indesign CS2 and just upgraded to CS4. I was heavily using "traditional arabic" font in CS2 without any problem.
For those who don't know, in arabic, each letter is represented differently according to its place inside a word. Almost all letters have 4 different forms, at the begining, in the middle at the end and alone.
After the upgrade I can insert only the letter at the begining form. I can clearly see all fonts in all forms in glpyhs table.
Any suggestion ?
Thank you

This not a locked Windows font because I was using it in Indesign CS2 without any problem.
In Help>About section all I see, is CS4 6.0. So this in not a Middle Eastern version.
For the moment I found the following solution :
I found an Open Type Arabic Font.
When I type something with this font "propositional forms" setting is set to "General", this is the default setting and I was unable to set "Automatic" as default. First I type something in Arabic then I select the text and set "propositional forms" setting to "Automatic".Yes it is a little bit cumbersome but this is the only solution I found.
I could send font files to anybody if you want to try them . It is not allowed to send them as attachment

PSE 7 Editing Problem using Photoshop CS4

I recently upgraded to PSE 7 and am totally confounded by a recurring problem using Photoshop CS4 as my editor for photos from PSE 7. When I enter Ctrl + H, Adobe Photoshop CS4 opens the photo just fine and I am able to edit without any issues. When I am done editing, I save the file, close Photoshop (or close the file) and the photo is immeditealy deleted from the directory even though it was just saved in the directory.
I recently re-installed Windows XP, PSE 7, and Photoshop CS4, and the problem continues. Any help or suggestions? I really prefer to use the Photoshop CS4 editor.

Thanks for the response. However, I don't believe the article you you referred to actually refers to the problem I'm having. It seeems more specific to thumbnails from .PSD files created in CS4.
However, the work-around you mentioned is a possibility for me as well. However, instead of overwriting the original, I can also save the edited file to another directory and copy it back to he directory once I exit PSE. This gets to be a REAL PAIN, though, when you're editing several photos at a sitting.
Thanks, again, for the suggestion.

Problem running my CS4.

Everytime I try to run any of my CS4 production premium programs I'm prompted to the license term and conditions. When I accept nothing happens. I've had the software for years without any problems and it just started recently. I am running windows 7 and it is also a legally licensed product.
Any suggestions/ solutions?
Thanks!

When opening a file of any type in Photoshop (CS4), the windows will not appear in Ps.

When opening a file of any type in Photoshop (CS4), the windows will not appear. Photoshop will open and I can see the layers on the right but the document window will not come up no matter what I try. I try closing down everything, double-clicking a layer, opening multiple windows, etc.. Any thoughts?

Can you post a screenshot of your entire Photoshop screen with a file loaded in and the layers panel showing?
It helps if we see the same problem you are seeing

Problem using PS CS4 with PSE 8

I have just installed Windows 7 (64-bit) on my computer. Everything's OK except that I can no longer use Photoshop CS4 as the external editor with Elements 8. Selecting a file and clicking on 'Edit in Photoshop' opens PS but does not load the file. Have tried reinstalling both applications but this did not solve the problem.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
John

Hey John,
While installing Photoshop CS4 did you choose only to install the 64-bit flavour of the application? I believe there are some issues if you have only the 64 bit flavour installed. I believe there is an option to set the same during the installation of PS-CS4.
Can you please retry by uninstalling CS4 and installing it with both 32bit and 64bit flavours?
If you already have CS4 installed with both 32-bit and 64-bit flavours and the problem still persists for you, can you please attach the files here with which you're having trouble and I'll try them on my Win-7 (64-bit) machine.

Problems with Photoshop CS4

Hello everyone
I installed windows 7 64 bit and photosop cs4 32 and 64 bits.
For plugins I use photoshop 32 bit as in 64 does not recognize.
When working with photoshop 32-bit, or by applying a similar effect on photoshop I "refresh" the screen, I have to give it a click above to update the action taken, which does not happen with the 64-bit . previously when I had windows XP 32 bit, something similar is happening but unlike in Windows 7 is became more confusing to work
Looking at other forums I found that others feel the same.
I recently upgraded my computer to Windows 7, but can not get photoshop to work properly.The refresh of the windows is horrible, it gives many hitches, even small images at 72 dpi. It's pretty desperate
I have a similar problem with Photoshop CS4, Windows 7 and the Gforce 9800 GTX version 196.21
The problem is that whenever I do a process, I have to click on the screen to react, is quite annoying if you retouch photos, anyone know where the problem may lie?
Example of my problem
I apply an effect to an image flash
Notice how after applying it, as is the browser and thumbnail in the layer and I obviously still displays the result on the image.
After giving up a click:
I shows the effect applied, but the display remains the same, as in the layer.
If I want to leave the viewer have to make the preview zoom.
As you will see work like this is very annoying and stressful. Any help?

Did you update PS CS4 to 11.0.1? If not update before turning off opengl or updating Nvidia drivers.
There are also new nvidia drivers out 197.13. However, newer does not always equal better.

Any problems to PS CS4 if I do an archive/install of Leopard?
