Auto-open layers/object not wanted

Illustrator CS3 has a strange habit of showing layers I have just collapsed when I open expose another layer. E.g., I am working on object in a set of sublayers and then collapse the main layer to go work in another main layer. As soon as I show the sublayers in another main layer up pops the entire set of layers and objects I just closed, exposing many more layers/object and pushing the layers and objects I do want to work on off my screen. I find nothing in the preference about this. My colleague has the same problem on his CS3. Any ideas?

I've tried to remember to have all layers closed except the one I am working on and to deselect objects before starting work in another layer, but this is really tedious when going back and forth from one to another layer. Is there no way to turn off Illustrators 'second-guessing' what I want open? It would be far easier for me simply to have two or more layers open and go back and forth between objects. This should definitely be a preference option.

Auto open/close option not visible in settings on iPad mini

We have a new iPad mini running iOS 7.0.4 Noticed that the auto switch on/off function was not working. What is more confusing is that in settings there is not the option to switch it on/off. Any ideas?

The problem does not relate to the Auto-Lock facility but the Lock/Unlock facility when you close and open the iPad cover. It is nothing to do with cover itself but under Settings/General you should have four options in a box:
Auto-Lock
Passcode Lock
Restrictions
Lock / Unlock
The Lock / Unlock option is not there at all so you cannot switch it on or off!

Auto Align Layers not working

Hello,
I am trying to auto align layers from a commercial job to mask different exposures and flashes in and out.
Every time I try to auto align, it doesn't work.
I make them JPGs in Lightroom and bring them over to photoshop.
I add a base layer and then upload the other exposure/light layers.
I make a group to add the exposures into but not the base layer.
Select them all.
Go to Edit - Auto Align Layers - but its always greyed out.
I am extremely frustrated. Help.
Kelsey

Try unlocking the base layer. Not sure if that'll effect it, but I could see it not wanting to auto-align if a layer was locked, even the base layer.
I would also try auto-aligning as soon as you import, before grouping. Shouldn't make a difference, but I do some RE/architectural work myself, and have never run into issue with my workflow (from lightroom I choose "open as layers in Photoshop", then autoalign, then group and mask and edit). Though I don't usually run auto-align. I assume you're on a tripod, did something move?

Lightroom 4 - Open Smart Object in Photoshop (or rather do not!)

Opening a PV2012 image as a smart object into Photoshop works ... except that all Lightroom adjustments are ignored.
No doubt this will be fixed when Adobe releases Photoshop CS6 and ACR 7.0 ... but that the latest version of Lightroom does not work properly with the latest release of Photoshop is nothing short of dreadful.
(Pretty smart marketing though, cause every time I upgrade Lightroom I also have to upgrade Photoshop! I for one will be waiting to see if Adobe have the decency to release ACR 7.0 to run on CS5 ... and if not then my decision will be based on how good CS6 is as I do not see that LR4 has anything that I can't do with some plug-ins (like geoencoding and reverse geoencoding). Of course if you want to write a book or do some trivial video editing then maybe LR4 will appeal to you.)
Very disappointing, when you consider that new cameras now have features like built-in HDR processing and Lightroom does not even have this - so that Photoshop or third-party software is required.

Jeff Schewe: Yes, Jeff, I'm well aware of that, having had to buy multiple versions of Lightroom and Photoshop, right up to LR4 and CS5.
In fact, the only reason for not releasing ACR 7.0 (or whatever) with LR4 has nothing to do with integration or functionality and everything to do with money: Adobe do not want to give away anything for free. So if you open an ACR object using ACR 6.7, what you get is all of the functionality of Camera Raw, with the exception of the Basic Highlights/Shadows/Whites and Blacks sliders. Everything else works just fine. And this is opening a PV2012 Smart Object, not a PV2010 Smart Object.
What Adobe have done is simply to grey-out these sliders: not because they would not work, but because if they had not greyed them out then they would be giving free additional functionality to CS5 users.
HOWEVER ... as I have purchased LR4 which supports PV2012 (and therefore has the full Camera Raw support for PV2012) I should NOT have to buy Photoshop CS6 just in order to get ACR 7.0. Adobe needs to find a way around this - and it would seem fairly simple to me for Photoshop to use the Lightroom raw engine if both Photoshop and Lightroom are present on the same machine (this is not rocket science). This would mean that we would not need to use Camera Raw at all: the raw processing functionality would be provided by Lightroom.
Alternatively, Adobe could release a version of Camera Raw 7.0 (say ACR-LR4-7.0) that would only work if Lightroom 4 was also present. Again this is not rocket science.
Or Adobe could release Camera Raw as a separate chargeable product (at a reasonable cost of let's say $25) so that they could make some money out of it without forcing people who do NOT want Photoshop CS6 to buy it JUST for ACR 7.0.
I'm pretty amazed the people aren't screaming about this ... cause it REALLY annoys me!

CS5 - Why are Edit Auto Blend Layers (and Auto Align Layers) gray and not accessible?

I have CS5 and would like to try focus stacking. I File > Automate > Photomerge with a few photos. They have been aligned in layers. I would like to Auto Blend Layers but the function is gray and not accessible.
Thanks,
Mark

Thank you THANK YOU. As I was doing this I realized you asked me to show my selected layers. I haven't been doing that. I thought photoshop would blend all open layers. Thanks again.

You won't be able to open it on your computer, ibooks can currently only be read in the iBooks app on an iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. How were you trying to get it to your phone, syncing it by selecting it on the iPhone's Books tab when connected to your computer's iTunes, or by dragging-and-dropping it from the Books part of your iTunes library over and onto the iPhone 'device' ? Another option is to try re-downloading it directly in the iBooks app on your iPhone via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in it (re-downloading).

It's almost certainly too late.

HELP HELP

To confirm, your existing mail client isn't communicating with your existing and remote mail services at Dreamhost? Which mail client are you using (Apple mail?), and how is mail on the client set up?
It would initially seem that your client is still referencing the server, either for its inbound or outbound mail. (And I'm not sure how unplugging the server helps here, unless there's some sort of a configuration issue, or a duplicate network address or such.) This would usually be something within the configuration of the mail client.
The Mac OS X Server is significantly easier than the many other servers and server operating systems I've dealt with over the years, but it requires reading the manuals and/or some knowledge of networking and of server environments.
Small shops and home folks without the time or inclination to "spin up" on these server areas can be well-served with some help initially configuring the server. Servers are different from clients. Stuff that you're implicitly used to using when you're running a client -- the DHCP server, for instance -- are what the servers provide you with.
As for Mac OS X Server and particularly if you head outside of the default settings and sequences and off into the customizations, which is what has happened here, you might want to engage some assistance. Not just for the direct and obvious initial set-up sequence, but also for getting you set-up and started with backups and other such tasks. Before you get too deep in here and get too much underway and too much saved on your disks, do seriously consider getting somebody in to help set this box up for you.
Mac OS X Server is not "no IT", but it is rather closer to "less IT" than most. Particularly once you get it configured and running.

I have a site I do business with. They do not authorize passwords unless you are a dealer. I do not have passwords on an auto save function, as I want to type my passwords in each time for security. My password for this site will only work a short WHILE, AND THEN it will not be recognized by the site and I cannot get in.
Then I must contact the company to reset or clear it manually on their end so it can be reset. They always give me the SAME SETUP PASSWORD to use. I use it, then I RESET PASSWORD on my end. The computer seems to remember my user NAME AT least on my computer as it comes up once I start typing the username in. They SAY IT is a settings issue on my end. I do not have this problem on any other site even THOSE WITH higher SECURITY. I need to FIX the issue OR may LOSE ACCESS To the site as is very aggravating for them and they say other have had the problem but usually with chrome but never constantly.I am not that computer literate ,but my husband is an IT Security professor and textbook writer but says doesn't really know Firefox. I do not really want to store passwords on computer as have been hacked several times. He and I do not understand some of the terms mentioned. since it is not a problem with other sites it should be fixable. Please me help using terms I or my husband can understand without having to give Firefox all my passwords. I would be happy to set up something different just for this one site if I need to but need easy instructions. Have cleared the cookies before but it still happens. What setting do I need to change or set to fix this? the other questions that come up seem very different and do not apply. FF 22 now but happened w other FF versions.

I'm having a little trouble understanding the part about your password having to be reset. Why is that happening??
Let's start with Firefox's settings:
(1) You can configure the password manager feature on this tab:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Security
There is a checkbox to enable/disable the feature.
There also is a "Saved Passwords" button to review and remove any passwords you do not want Firefox to keep.
That tab also has a feature to set a Master Password so that no one can use your saved passwords without knowing the Master Password. You may need to exit Firefox in order for Firefox to ask for that again.
Related articles:
* [[Password manager - Remember, delete and change saved passwords in Firefox]]
* [[Use a Master Password to protect stored logins and passwords]]
(2) Site-specific permissions
If you want to use the password manager for other sites but NOT a particular site, you can configure that in the Permissions Manager.
In a new tab, type or paste '''about:permissions''' in the address bar and press Enter.
After the page loads, use the search box in the upper left corner to narrow down the list to the site you want to configure. Highlight the site on the left side, and on the right side, choose Block under Store Passwords.
(3) Form autocomplete suggestions
Separate from passwords, Firefox remembers entries you've made into forms (in most cases) and lists the matching ones below the form field in a drop-down.
To clear a suggestion, press the down arrow key to highlight it and press the Delete key.
To turn off this feature, see this article: [[Control whether Firefox automatically fills in forms with your information]].
To review and selectively edit or delete form history entries, you need an add-on. For example, you could try this one: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/form-history-control/

I have been noticing that when using the computer the mouse keeps going in places where I really do not want and just now select the sentence without I have done anything. Sometimes goes to places like bookmark or open tabs in website when I am reading a page.
Also I have noticed opened windows that I have not opened.
I have verified the sharing folder and also the remote access but it not let me turn it off.
Also I have add a password to my computer and even using the same one it looks like is not working.
The I photo stopped working, Mac Mail does not let me add rules (this is from one day to the other)
The computer is mine, the internet I use is payed by me with a password. I did not give permission to anyone to use my computer or share my files.
In system preferences in the sharing folder is showing everyone and staff.
My computer is private I do not own a company and I do not have a network set up in my house.
I had my photos removed from my computer and even after trying to reinstall I photo and fix the Mac Mail is not working.
I am receiving emails saying that I have sent emails to people that I do not know and including in a time where I am working and not using the computer.
Any suggestions in how to fix this issue?
I really appreciate.

With the multitude of issues you have I would take it to an Apple store or AASP and have them sort it out. Then I would sign up for Apple camp or one on one.

I want Firefox to open to my homepage every time after it crashes. I do not want it to return to the tabs and applications that caused the crash. I am willing to lose information. How do I do this?

Firefox crashes or seizes up when there are too many tabs and applications open, and causes my computer to crash or seize up. I use task manager to close Firefox or I restart my computer. Then, when Firefox restarts again, it automatically re-opens all the tabs and applications that caused the computer to seize or crash in first place. This is a waste of my time. I want Firefox to reopen to my homepage even if it crashes. I am willing to lose information to have Firefox reopen to a low-memory homepage. How do I do this?

Set the Integer pref browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to 0 on the about:config page to get the about:sessionrestore page immediately with the first restart after a crash has occurred or the Task Manager was used to close Firefox.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes
That will allow you to deselect the tab(s) that you do not want to reopen, but will allow to reopen other tabs.
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore#Restoring_a_session_after_a_crash
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes
See also:
* https://wiki.mozilla.org/Session_Restore#Preferences
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default via the right-click context menu if they are user set
*Preferences can be changed via the right-click context menu: Modify (String or Integer) or Toggle (Boolean)
