Black shapes appear in photoshop then the whole file messes up.. including (somehow) previous saves
When using photoshop I sometimes come up with this issue:
A random black shape will appear on my file and then the whole file will mess up. Even if I revert back to previous save (which was previously fine) there are lots of black squares on the file, the file has sometimes been flattened and there are also squares missing from the artwork. Any idea what causes this? Image below:
This looks like the ongoing file corruption problem that is usually attributed to gaussian blur. I've had it several times on different macs and OS versions. Its VERY BAD. And I don't think anyone's got a solution (other than back up frequently).

I was not able go to the main menu from whatsapp by pressing the center button so I hold on to the button for 2 seconds.Then the whole display turned out to be black & white. how can i fix it?
Hello monicaa003,
Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
If your iPhone display turned black and white after holding down the Home button for 2 seconds, first try pressing the Home button again to go to the main menu (Home screen.)
For reference, holding down the Home button for 2 seconds will trigger Siri if that feature is enabled:
About Siri - Apple Support
If pressing the Home button doesn't return you to the main menu, try restarting or resetting your iPhone:
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Additionally, if Whatsapp is not responding or working as expected, see the troubleshooting steps at this link:
If an app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open - Apple Support

Whenever I want to download a free app, it asks me for 3 security questions. I answer them. Then it says "session has timed out". Then the whole process starts over. How can I get around this?
Hey everyone in Apple world!
I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP! Yessssss!!!
I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process. Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal. No flashing yellow screen anymore!!
(Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
Let me know if this works for you!

I download radio programmes via Podcast, but have recently found that some episodes play for only 30 seconds and then the whole app quits. This happens even though the whole episode has downloaded. I would be grateful for advice.
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Delete the problem episodes and redownload.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. -
my iphone 5's screen blacks out every now and then. the phone is turned on but the screen is black and i can receive calls. what is wrong with my phone?
I have to believe this has something to do with iOS 7 issues. I have taken my screen blacked out 5s twice to the Genius Bar and the found a bunch of system apps had crashed. So if this is the case, is iOS7 the problem?

I had a free trial of Lightroom 5 and tried to purchase it, but page errors blocked me from being able to do this. I then got a free trial of Adobe CC. At first I saw my old photos, then the whole thing went down, and now I have a new Lightroom 5 trial, and none of my edited photos. Can I retrieve all these photos from my first trial?
Yes, you have to find the catalog file from the CC trial (use your operating system to search for it, the file name ends with .LRCAT), and then once you find it, open the LR5 trial and open the catalog you just found using File->Open Catalog

when i open illustrator and i do something the text appaers (it's not responding) and then the whole screen turns white, what can i do?
hiskebdb,
If it happens when moving an object/text, the issue may be caused by the Chrome Pushbullet extension, see this post #3 by Matt with the solution,

iPhoto just stopped working. It loads pictures, but then goes into rainbow wheel forever. Then I try to force quit it, and then the whole Mac hangs up (had to power cycle it to get it back). I am using OS 10.5.8, and when I run software update, it assures me I have up to date software. I have not added any photos since the last time I used it, probably less than a month ago. What gives?
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption. -
When I play one of my clips on imovie it shows up black even though I can see the whole clip on my menu of movies when I'm not playing it. Does that make sense and can someone help me with this problem?
Long standing problem, much discussion on the forums. Typically it has to do with incompatibility of Microsoft Exchange email client. See the links on "More Like this" at right.
Two solutions:
One is to zip compress the file and send the attachment that way.
Another is the freebie program "Attachment Tamer" - see

My I phone has plenty of storage but will not download any apps free or paid for when I press install the installation symbol appears briefly and then the page reverts to the original form with the price or free on the right hand side.

Good luck. -

File adapter didn't read the whole file
Hi folks,
we use the file adapter since 1 year and in the majority of cases it works fine. But sometimes the file adapter didn't read the whole file. In SAP we are missing some parts. Funnily enough in this cases he archive the whole file and not only the executed parts . Know anybody whats the reason of this effect and how we can solve it?
Kind regards Johann M.Johann
I think you miss understood me/I didn;t explain myself very well....
If you take the file that doesn't work/process correctly, can you replicate the issue where the whole file is not copied across.
If you can, you should be able to extend the FTP/File adapter trace file to find the cause if this issue.
Log onto Visual Admin.
 Services
 Log Configurator
 Locations
 Choose the location (Java package) and the tracing level (severity)
(for example, com.sap.aii.adapter.file)
 Root Location > com > sap > aii > File
 Set the severity and choose Copy Severity to Subtree
Run interface and then check the trace file - remember to switch this back to Error... -
Unable to initialize Photoshop because the preferences file has been removed
Hello
After a week without using photoshop, I can no longer open it. As soon as I try this message appears: "Unable to initialize Photoshop because the preferences file has been removed."
So, I went to look for this preferences file that I've never deleted and I can't find it.
I tried to reset photoshop with keyboard shortcuts preferences, it does not work. I also uninstalled and reinstalled the software, it does not work either.
What else could I do ...?
Thank you for your help.lola.marceau wrote:

Seems odd that such a problem would crop up on its own. That kind of sounds like a registry or permissions problem. What other things did you do with the computer between the time it worked and it didn't?
And if you're willing to uninstall / reinstall to try to recover operation, it might be prudent to try the Adobe cleaner tool to really be sure you've uninstalled everything...

How to close a jmf rtp session when the whole file is sent
i am using jmf to Stream a video file from a one client to another, everything seems to be working fine except for the fact that i dont know how to close the prosessor and the session/datasink on the transmitting clients side when the clientis done streaming, i can close it lets say after 60 seconds of starting but i am not able to figure out how make it stop when the whole file is done streaming. i tried using the datasinklistner while sending the video and the following code
public void dataSinkUpdate(DataSinkEvent event) {
if (event instanceof javax.media.datasink.EndOfStreamEvent) {
endOfStream = true;
}but the endofstream event is never received from the datasource.
the problem is that it works fine if i using a 20 second video and i close the datasink and the processor in 60 seconds, the whole file does get streamed but if i have a file longer than 60 seconds then the file just gets cut at 60 seconds.
i also tried to use a sessionmanager with a sessionlistener and a sendStreamListener and the following code
* SessionListener.
public synchronized void update(SessionEvent evt) {
* SendStreamListener
public synchronized void update( SendStreamEvent evt) {
System.out.println(evt);
if (evt instanceof InactiveSendStreamEvent) {
flag=true;
System.out.println("done");
if (evt instanceof ActiveSendStreamEvent) {
System.out.println("start");
}i ran the whole code and sent files and everything but neither an activestreamevent nor a inactivestreamevent happens but the file is being streamed properlyuser13490676 wrote:
could it be a problem with jmf itself that the endofstream doesnt get generated for the datasource being read from a fileIn this instance, that would be the problem... more than likely, there's something weird about the file, perhaps it doesn't have a duration set in the header and JMF treats it like a live stream.
You could always write a custom DataSource that just passes through the input of a normal data source, and then generate the EndOfStream event yourself... maybe based on a timeout or failure counter? I haven't received any data in x seconds or after x attempts, so I'm assuming the file is done... Or when you've read enough data that the file can't possibly have any more (read >= file header + file data)... -
I am getting a photoshop error could not load photoshop because the preferences file was invalid and cln't load actions because of an unexpected end of file encountered.
Are you trying to open Photoshop directly, or open it by double clicking on a Photoshop document, like a PSD file? If the former, then you might need to reinstall. Resetting Preferences would be the firs step, but I am not sure if that will work if Photoshop is not opening in the first place.
Try doing so anyway. Hold down Shift Alt Ctrl (Shift Opt Cmd) while opening Photoshop. OK the message to delete Preferences.
If you get the unexpected end of file error while trying to open Photoshop via a PSD document, then there is more than a good chance that that file is toast.
If still stuck, we need to know Operating System, and Photoshop version.
