Automation Plugin: Problems with Shutdown/Quit on Mac

Hi,
I've created an automation plugin similiar to the listener-plugin example in the sdk and I'm poping up a modal dialog when receiving the shutdown message/call from photoshop. When I quit Photoshop, the dialog shows for about 1-2 secs then vanishes and photoshop crashes. On the other hand, on windows the shutdown process is halted until I dismiss the dialog by button, just as I expected from a modal dialog (and then photoshop exits normaly).
I also tried to receive the eventQuit notification, put this event never ever seems to be sent by the host (both on win & mac).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Marc

Thanks Tom. I now use a mac os notification class to pop up my warning
message, this works fine. However I'm still lookin for a way to receive event notifications before photoshop has handled them, something like the PreTranslateMessage method from windows/mfc. Would that be possible?
Also, sometimes I miss some of the events, e.g. when closing a dirty document, photoshops asks if I want to save the doc, but I only receive the close-event, not the save-event. I noticed this seems to be the case with all events triggered indirectly, as the save event when closing a dirty doc or opening/closing/saving a doc from my auto-plugin.
So my big question is, am I doing it wrong or am I trying the impossible?
Thanks,
Marc

Problem with photoshop on my mac

Hey...
I have some problem with photoshop on my mac...
When i open the photoshop my screen change his color...
The screen changes such delicate blue color.
and when i close the app the color has back to the original color.
photoshop cs 6 (master collection)
macbook pro 15"
OS X Mountain Lion

Have a nice day

Not sure which screen you mean, but maybe your seeing the Application Frame in photoshop cs6.
You can turn that off in photoshop cs6 under Window>Application Frame.
If that's not it, could you post a screenshot?

Sorry for the delay...
I did what you've told me, new account and manually copied my files from Time Machine. I had lots of permissions problems, but at the end, almost everything is in order... It seems it had to be with some of the Apple Preferences, but I can't be sure, as most of them were dumped to the trash can.
I still don't have my Mail Rules back, unfortunately, although I did goggled some. It is a pity, as I had around 30 or 40 of them, getting my mail in order to each of its mailboxes, but it is a small price as the rest doesn't show the before syntoms.
Thanks for the help, anyway!!

Why are there so many problems with the early 2008 Mac Pro ???

Hi everybody out there using Mac Pro's early 2008,
I found out there is a lot of problems with the early 2008 Mac Pro.
My early 2008 Mac Pro has been repaired ones under warranty and now it stopped working again ! Also see under: Mac Pro early 2008 no chime and does not start up. Why is this ????
It worked well for about 2 years and then it just fails and i had this failing issue twice already !!! Is this just a BAD Apple product or how do you think I need to approach this. Let’s face it, these machine don’t come cheap and you at least expect them to work without problems for 4-5 years. What is happening here ???
Cheers, Kavango

go to a black screen after 15 minutes or a couple hours
That is probably an indication that you need to find a new graphics card.
RE: Mac Pro Replacement Graphics cards
1) Apple brand cards,
2) "sold in the Apple store" cards, and
3) "Mac Edition" cards ...
... show all the screens, including Boot up screens, Safe Mode, Installer, Recovery, debug screens, and Alt/Option boot screens. At this writing, these choices include:
1) Apple brand cards:
• Apple-firmware 5770, about US$250** works near full speed in every model Mac Pro, Drivers in 10.6.5
• Apple-firmware 5870, about US$450
2) "sold in the Apple store" cards
• NVIDIA Quadro 4000, about US$1200
• NVIDIA Quadro 5000, about US$2500
3) "Mac Edition" cards -- REQUIRE 10.8.3 or later:
• SAPPHIRE HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 MAC Edition, about US$480** Vendor recommends Mac Pro 4,1
• EVGA GTX 680 Mac Edition, about US$600
The cards above require no more than the provided two 6-pin aux power connectors provided in the Mac Pro through 2012 model. Aux cables may not be provided for third-party cards, but are readily available.
If you are Meet ALL of these:
• running 10.8.3 or later AND
• don't care about "no boot screens" etc AND
• can re-wire or otherwise "work out" the power cabling, THEN:
You can use many more cards, even most "PC-only cards"

I have a problem with iphoto (have a mac book pro): the icon in the dock appears with a question mark, and the application is gone!!! Can someone tell what's going on? Yesterday I had the same problem with itunes

I have a problem with iphoto (have a mac book pro): the icon in the dock appears with a question mark, and the application is gone!!! Can someone tell what's going on? Yesterday I had the same problem with itunes: I downloaded the last version (it's free), but I cannot do the same with iphoto, and more important: I need to know what is happening!!! Please help me!

Applications should not disappear all by themselves.
If they are then that coud indicate serious problems with your hard drive.
Backup everything up as quickly as possible.
Using Disk Utility verify your system disk.

Strange problem with color measure in Mac.

Hello, I am having a strange problem with color measure in Mac. For example i create a gradient in Photoshop from color 200 200 200 to color 240 240 240. When i measure the color of the gradient with the color measure tool of Photoshop or with the built in OS X color measure tool the measured color is from 200 199 197 to 240 240 238. I have measured the same gradient with Photoshop for PC and the values are OK (the same values that i create).
I dont know what is the problem, but i belive that the colors that i create would be the same that i measure after creating them, and also the same values between Mac and PC. I will appreciate it a lot any help or information that you could give me that helps me to understand what is happening here.
Thank you for your time
Marcelo.

Yep you got it, proof as monitor basicaly strips out any profiling and just delivers it straight.
is there any way to make the OS X color measure tool to measure the original color values
You mean the document colors - No, like I said photoshop is filtering your image through document profile, proof setup and monitor profile. Why do you want to use Digital color meter anyway for this?
i dont understand what is the point to measure color values that will change every time a calibrate my monitor.
Because color values are 'bigger' than whats on your monitor. Your monitor (via photoshop) is only doing the best it can to display those values - which can be anything from LAB colors outside the gamut of your monitor - to CMYK colors. Calibrating it is the only way to allow your monitor to do this in any way accurately. (not ever really possible) Monitors have a certain gamut and are only dispays/representations of the REAL colors that a document, with a profile, holds. So there's only one good reason to measure monitor values, and that's to generate a monitor profile.

Playlist problems with music on a Mac.

I somewhat recently switched to using multiple Mac's as my main desktop machines, all running Lion. I'm trying to do everything "the Mac way", preferring Apple-provided apps where possible. While im 95% happy, the funny thing is that the part that works worst is playing music. So please school me in the Mac way of making music come out of the headphone jack.
Background: For over a decade, I've been ripping all my CDs, and storing them on a server. That's done by converting the tracks into mp3 format, and storing them in a directory tree, one directory per CD. The names of the tracks are very simple - they are 1.mp3, 2.mp3 and so on. Each track hasID3 tags with album, track title (usually the movement name, like Allegro or Andante), and the artist. Each directory contains a playlist in M3U format, cunningly always called all.m3u (as it contains all tracks in this directory). Many directories also contain other playlists. For example, if the CD had both Bruch and Mendelssohn's violin concerti, it would probably have two extra playlists, called bruch.m3u and mendelssohn.m3u. Or if it contained Beethoven's 1st and 2nd symphonies, it would have 1.m3u and 2.m3u. Navigation and search is done by a series of html pages that are stored in the same directory tree, making locating music (whole CDs = directories, whole works = playlists, and individual tracks = mp3 files) quite simple.
This whole directory tree is avaiable through a HTTP server, mounted as a remote file system (for example by AFP or NFS), copies exist on some of the laptops I carry with me, and much of it is also copied onto USB sticks.
With both Windows and Linux desktop machines, this was very easy to use: point a web browser at the directory tree, available through a http server within my house. Click on an individual track (an individual mp3 file), and it immediately starts playing (since all sensible players buffer). Point at a playlist, and it immediately starts playing. The same player can handle mp3 and m3u files, making the user interface simple and consistent. There are no cache consistency problems: If I quit the player, edit the playlist on the server, and then click on the playlist again, the music player will pick up the new version.
In contrast, on the Mac nearly nothing works, and the little that works works badly.
If you click on an individual track (a single mp3 file), it actually starts playing in the Safari tab. But that player (I suspect it's a stripped-down version of Quicktime embedded in Safari) is extremely stripped down: it doesn't even attempt to display ID3 tags and claims that everything is "live broadcast". It doesn't react to F8, so you can't quickly pause the music if the phone rings or someone comes into my office (you have to mouse over to the Safari window and click, way too slow). And there is no way to rewind while playing. But at least something comes out of the headphones, and it is the track I expected to hear.
Now, with playlists, this completely breaks. If you click on the link to the m3u file in the web browser, Safari downloads the playlist, then starts iTunes. Unfortunately, it completely forgets to tell iTunes the context, so iTunes is incapable of doing anything with that playlist: the playlist "waldstein.m3u" contains entries 1.mp3, 2.mp3 and 3.mp3 for the three movements of the Waldstein sonata, but iTunes doesn't get told that the playlist was found in the directory http://homeserver.example.com/music/piano/dg_419053, and that the relative file names are in that directory. So there is no way to play a playlist from a web browser if it is being served by http.
Strangely, if I point Safari at a html page that is on the file system (perhaps on a USB stick or a shared server), the link between Safari or Finder and iTunes works: You click on a playlist file (either on a web page or in the finder), it opens iTunes, and it starts playing the tracks. We'll get to the broken caching below though.
OK, plan B. Take the whole directory (many dozens of GB, hundreds of CDs), and ask iTunes to import it all. No problem. iTunes is even smart enough to know that 1.m3u is a playlist (for Borodin's first symphony), containing four movements 1.mp3 through 4.mp3. Unfortunately, iTunes is also completely stupid, and thinks that all files names 1.m3u are the same playlist. So now I end up with a large playlist called 1.m3u, which contains about a dozen symphonies, sonatas, and piano concertos mangled together. The really amazing thing is the playlist called all.m3u, which contains every bit of music I own. The reason I say "stupid": assuming that two m3u files that are found in different locations but have the same name must be the same playlist and must be merged is really jumping to conclusions. But at least I can sort it by album title (usually the name of the work), and track title. But that doesn't do anything useful. I have probably 10 recordings of Rach3, and being presented with 30 tracks, 10 of which are the first movement, then 10 second movements ... sorting them alphabetically is not useful.
Sorting in general doesn't work: If I by mistake ever sort within iTunes, then it loses the original order of the tracks within the playlist. And I don't want to hear a symphony in the order "Allegro, Andante, Moderato", just because that's the alphabetic order of the track titles: it works out to 3rd - 2nd - 1st movement. And I have not yet found a way to tell iTunes to revert all playlists to the order the tracks showed up in the playlist.
If you tell iTunes to start playing in the middle of a large playlist (for example just the last movement of Rach3 with Argerich), it will happily continue playing within the same playlist. Even across track / album boundaries! Today I was playing Bach's St' John passion out of the giant "all.m3u" playlist, and at the end, it simply drifted into Borodin's 1st symphony. Quite the shock, musically speaking.
The final straw is this: Once you import, iTunes wants to take charge, and it caches all the metadata (namely the playlists and track filenames). In caching this, iTunes cmpletely forgets about any form of cache coherency protocol: just because you saw a playlist once doesn't mean that it will always be in that place, and will always have the same content. Say I have imported at home, and iTunes remembers that the 1st movement of the Waldstein is in /Volumes/HomeServer/music/piano/dg_419053/1.mp3 (and at home that file is accessible via AFP or NFS). Now I take my MacBook to the office, open iTunes, and click, and nothing hapens: my home server is not mounted in the office. No problem: I reach into my briefcase, which contains a 32GB USB stick. If I now open that playlist, iTunes starts playing it ... but now I have twice as many tracks. Do this for a while, and you end up with N copies (for large values of N) of each playlist, and at any given moment all but N-1 of those are broken.
Even worse: Say I discover that I made a mistake, and forgot to add the last movement to a playlist. No problem, go to the server that contains the master copy, edit the .m3u file with emacs, done. Through a variety of rsync... scripts, the various copies on other computers or USB sticks will be updated soon. But iTunes remembers the version it imported weeks ago. Do I have to clear my iTunes cache every time I edit anything anywhere? Why does iTunes even have a metadata cache, if it is usually wrong?
So, let me summarize my problem. I'm looking for a way to click on a mp3 or m3u file that's stored via some sensible protocol (be it HTTP, local files, remote files on a shared server, or file system on portable media), and just play it. Without storing a play list, without rearranging the play list, without caching, but with a display of the ID3 tag and a working pause key.
Here are my biggest complaints about the software that ships with a Mac:
The mp3 player embedded in Safari is missing about 90% of the function.
Linkage of playlists from Safari running on HTTP to iTunes is broken (but it works from Finder, or from Safari running on files).
iTunes insists on importing or caching playlists. I don't need that, I have better storage mechanisms. I want iTunes to play one track or one playlist, and then be done and forget everything it ever knew. Is there a way to tell iTunes no never remember anything, just play the one thing I ordered it to?
If we absolutely must import and cache all playlist in iTunes, at least teach it to recognize that m3u files with the same name found in different places are not the same, and shall not be merged.
Once you sort a playlist in iTunes, I don't see how you can tell it to get back to the original sort order.
Any ideas? Other than going back to Windows and Linux desktops, which I don't find acceptable?

I would also recommend that in order to ensure the person is getting the document in a format they can understand that he prints to PDF the documents. Macs do that very easily.
OpenOffice is free and crossplatform. If they need to edit his documents, they should all agree to use OpenOffice.

Sync problems with AME CS4 for Mac

Hi,
I've been trying to use Adobe Media Encoder CS4 to convert a 2 min video (MPEG2 Muxed, 29.97) to FLV/F4V, and the audio still does not sync to the video. I've tried in Sor. Spark, On2VP6, and H.264. I can't imagine it's a fps issue because in the Settings I always choose "same as source". Is there something else I should do that I'm not doing thus far?
For what it's worth: I'm using version 4.2.0.006.
Thanks in advance!
Dave

Thanks for the reply. I am using Photoshop 11.0.1. I am using the latest version of Snow Leopard. I have found both Photoshop and Dreamweaver to be pretty buggy for several versions now. My suspicions were that they were really engineered for Windows and never really fully implemented for the Mac. Dreamweaver crashes or hangs on me three or four times a day if I us it all day and does various annoying things like refusing to respond to the delete key after I have used it for a while. I have pretty much stopped using it to some degree for that reason and also because there is other software that does a lot of coding things I do much more directly and simply. Also Dreamweaver always seems to struggle to quit when I tell it to quit (that is, it takes a long time and gets hung up at places before it quits) and once it does quit, I always get a message saying that it has unexpectedly quit (even when I have told it to quit).
The problems with Photoshop (starting with just taking a long time to load) have escalated to the point I described today, which makes it almost unusable. I just reinstalled Snow Leopard to see if there was anything buggy in the system software. I will report if problems go away.
Regarding both the refusal to open image files and the grayed out quit command, made me think something like you, i.e. there was some dialogue box open somewhere. However, I couldn't find anything and I don't use two monitors.
So . . . Adobe just seems to be getting more expensive and more buggy.
Incidentally, why is it still running in Rosetta rather than natively? Adobe now has a real Intel processor to work with.

Problems with shutdown, expose and window switching

Hi there,
Recently I've been having a few issues with OS X. First of all it wasn't shutting down properly -- the menu bar would disappear and it would look like it was going to shutdown, but it never did. I could move down to the dock (on auto-hide) and it would re-appear, at which point I can bring up a terminal window and use 'shutdown' to do the job. On startup I'd reset the PRAM, and then do a disk-check, but the problem keeps coming back.
Subsequently, I've also been having problems with expose and switching windows (i.e. command-tab). Namely, neither of them work. Expose won't fire from either hot corners or the keyboard, and if I re-launch the app from the Apps folder (without trying to kill it first, I should say), it does nothing. Cmd-tab gets interpreted as just tab, and the keyboard shortcut for dashboard also fails (although I can start the dashboard from the dock).
I read in another post about an invalid jpeg in the downloads folder being able to cause the Expose problem (seems like a most unlikely bug?). Anyway, I cleared all pictures from my downloads folder and functionality came back, but now it's gone again. It's really very frustrating as it makes moving between windows a lot more hassle.
Any thoughts would be gratefully received.
TIA,
Mat

This sounds interesting.
Can you post a copy for the rest of us to see?
As for actually helping you, and not just satisfying our curiousity, if you start cutting pieces of the code you will probably end up finding the source of the problem (and we won't have too big a program to handle). Since DSC is a likely suspect, you may want to start there.
Also, are you creating an installer and using that to install? If not, you may wish to try that.

Problems with router pc and mac

I have installed a wifi router in a pc, coaxial cable plus ethernet. Recently I bought a McBook and I have some problems with internet conexions. I can run explorer in pc or in mac but I can use the explorer with the two machines at the same time. I can work with the mac restarting the router and doing the airport configuration, then internet don´t work in the pc; if I want work with the pc I do the same operation: restart the router and detect configuration with pc.
Anybody know what is the problem and posible solutions?
Thank you for your help.

Problem with Quadro4000 in a Mac Pro (Mid 2009)

Does anyone has a problem with the Nvidia Quadro 4000 on his Mac Pro?

I have a major problem, it can't boot to start up the computer, I must to hold the shift button to open and when it opens it sticks and the colors of the wallpaper is not good. Also I have a raid card. The apple service told me that the problem is the graphic card and must be replaced but I am not sure about it, unfortunately I don't have the first card to be sure.

Problems with Office 2011 for mac after upgrading to Mountain Lion

Office 2011 for mac worked fine with Lion on my MacBook Air. I had been having some problems with my computer freezing and crashing, so the folks at the Genius Bar wiped my computer clean and installed Mountain Lion for me.
I have full backups (Time Machine) from before the wipe on my external hard drive, but I was told not to restore from the backup, that I should drag and drop files instead. I was also told to re-install any program for which I had the disk. I reinstalled Office 2011 via the disk.
Two major problems followed:
1.     I lost all my old emails (I use Mail). Even rebuilding the library or trying to restore them from Time Machine don't get them back.
2.     Word and Excel don't seem to recognize me anymore. I can pull up and modify an old document or workbook, but I cannot "save" my changes. I have to hit "save as." That's a pain, but there's a worse problem.
I have no trouble saving these "save as" versions to my desktop or to my Documents file. But I cannot save them anywhere else — even to the folder where I found the original document. I get a message that I don't have the necessary permissions to access or modify the folders. I'm asked to authenticate, and I do, but that doesn't seem to do anything.
I tried Get Info on the workbooks and documents, and I'm clearly granted Read and Write permission.
I've done a permissions repair via Disk Utility. There were some things to repair, but it didn't solve my problem.
I know I can move all documents to an external hard drive and then recreate all the folders, saving all the documents and workbooks "as" but it seems a huge amount of work. Can anybody suggest an easier route or how to get my email history?

You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type: 'resetpassword' (without the 's) and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

Sudden problem with iTunes quitting - problem and solution

This is a fairly lengthy diatribe but it was driving me nuts and so hopefully will help someone else:
The Problem:
I have an XPS M1710 running Windows Vista. A couple of days ago all Apple programs started to malfunction, specifically iTunes, QuickTime. When I try to start iTunes it quits immediately and I get the message “A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available”. The same thing happens with Quicktime. When I go to Internet Explorer this works fine until I go to the Apple website and try to Download iTunes (to reinstall) or even to go to the Apple Support page, Then the Apple site seems to “force” IE to quit. The same thing happens when I use the Apple Safari Browser (works generally but quits on Apple iTunes or support site). I am not sure if it is relevant but we bought some iTunes songs online in the last couple of days using another laptop. That machine is still working fine as are two other laptops in the house re iTunes (they are Windows XP Dells, my machine is Windows Vista). I received an email receipt on my XPS for the purchases in the usual fashion. I can open it, but when I click the links to the iTunes site it doesn’t work (does work using other computers).
I have performed 2 system restores (to 2 and 4 weeks ago – long before the current problem) but this did not help. I have uninstalled iTunes – but even so still could not directly download the iTunes setup.exe from Apple. I did eventually get it from a third party link. Using the downloaded file I reinstalled iTunes but exactly the same problems persist. On one occasion I let the “A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available” dialogue box sit for a while – the system identified some Apple updates needed which I downloaded and installed (in fact I had done these probably a week or so ago anyway but the system restore would have reverted that). This still did not fix the problem.
Today I phoned XPS support. I was initially told to leave my number and someone would call me back. 2 hours later no-one had so I phoned again and got someone who suggested doing a full scan disk (ie by getting into diagnostics at startup by pressing F12). I did this – no problems found. The person had also suggested trying to access iTunes using a different logon account. I switch on “guest” account and tried from there but the same problem persisted.
I have checked Windows Defender and Windows Firewall and as far as I can see iTunes is allowed to access the internet. No sign that it is deliberately blocked. As far as I can tell from the Windows updater the system is up to date (as it was when the problem first happened, and not fixed by rolling back many updates via the system restores).
I have run a full Virus check using Kaspersky (with latest updated database) and nothing was found.
So, no matter what I try, my computer is suddenly blocking everything to do with iTunes (and Quicktime), including Apple’s own support site. The failure of iTunes or QuickTime to launch happens whether or not I am connected to the Internet at the time. All other programs seem to be working.
I would be very appreciative if you could help. I have been unable to find any online solution, although one person may have had a similar problem, no resolution was evident.
The solution:
I have only just now solved the problem (two weeks down the track). The Dell technician that I spoke to over the phone tried hard but we could not get the issue solved completely, although the problem with accessing the iTunes website we did solve by turning off some internet explorer add-ons. As it turned out the problem was with QuickTime. The clue was that although I had attempted to uninstall iTunes + Quicktime many times the QuickTime component never disappeared. So when I reinstalled iTunes + QuickTime (which I did many times) the problem remained. After again uninstalling iTunes + QuickTime (by going to control panel, selecting iTunes and uninstall, then QuickTime and unintstall in the usual way, and realising that QuickTime did not uninstall properly, I then selected QuickTime and chose the "repair" option at the top of the control panel dialogue box instead of uninstall. After that I was then able to open QuickTime properly, and then when I reinstalled iTunes it worked! This had been driving me nuts, and I was on the verge of re-installing the operating system. Can I suggest that you enter this solution into your database for future reference.

I was wondering if you ever fixed this problem? Today I went to open itunes and it started installing it and said it couldn't access the file ja.lproj/ea0423.rtf which would be the Japanese language version. I just wanted to know if I should do what was suggested to you or if that didn't work.

A lot of problems with Lion Server in Mac Mini Server

I have a new Mac Mini Server and I have a lot of problems.
The server application works well for a day, then start to have problem, for example: I can not change the configuration of the share folder, I add a new user but he can not see some folders.
Then if I login the Mac Mini with another user, he can not see the starting folder and if you open a new folder you see a lot of strange documents.
Later, with administrator user, I can not login the server application, I put the user name and password but it refuses it (user name and passowrd are correct)
In the end I also can not login the computer.
I reinstalled the Lion Server 2 times but nothing change, after 2 days it doesn't work like before.
I'm very upset, this is the first time in more then 20 year I have a problem with an Apple computer.
What can I do?
Please help me
Thanks
