Blank files, several occurrences --??--

OSX 10.7.1 -- first instance was copying files after migration assistant -- I got a few dozen out of a hundred photo files that came out with the right name, the right file size, the right thumbnail icon, but zero content. Recovered from an offline backup, just odd.
New instance of almost empty files:
Today, I was editing text clippings -- I'd pulled ten pages off a website, by hilighting the text I wanted and dragging it to the desktop.
Then I cleaned up some stuff and deleted some stuff out of each one with ClipEdit 3.0.3 and saved them.
Of the ten, #1, 5, 8, 9, and 10 came out with either no readable text or little fragments of text or the content of a 'replace' line. All the file sizes look OK and if I try dragging over the blank pages they hilight as though there were something there. Trying Export as Plain Text gets a blank file.
Recovered OK -- went to the source, did exactly the same thing again, and got good replacement files.
Exported as Plain Text and those are good too.
Puzzled. Figured I'd mention it as I see a few other mentions around of blank files with 10.7.1.
Seems likely to me there's something a bit odd going on. Repairing permissions again gives some repair to ~Library/Permissions today.

My new blank file is suddenly gray and paint bucket no longer works correctly.

Photoshop Elements 10. I started a new blank file, which opened white, as usual. I enclosed the file with the rectangular marquee tool, and used the paint bucket to fill the background with a brownish color I choose, except it filled with gray. I looked to be sure the color mode was RBG color, and it is. After a frustrating couple of attempts to change the color, I thought of a work around and just created a new layer and colored it, but, when I tried to change the color again, the paint bucket would not respond, so I created another layer and the paint bucket then changed the color for me again. However, I really would prefer it work the way it did before, instead of creating unnecessary layers to do the job. I insert a screen shot, if it helps. Any help resolving this would be appreciated.

I clicked on the arrow and reset the tool. I also reset the transparency setting in preferences, which was the only color related setting I saw there, to no avail. I opened another new file, same result, dumping the paint bucket produced only a grayscale color. Thanks for the suggestion, however.

Change the size of a blank file

I created an invite on a blank file that is 5x7. I want to change the size to 8x10, yet I cannot find where to change the size in PSE 8. I have too many layers to start over. Is there a way to copy all the layers and paste them into a new file? I will still need to be able to edit them once I get them onto the new blank file.
Sorry, still learning PSE ins and outs.
thanks

You can create a new blank file, shift click to select all the layers in the old file and just drag them over to the new file, if that's what you want to do, or you can just add canvas to your existing file (Image>Resize>Canvas Size) to give yourself more room to work.

Blank files appearing in User Folder???

Hello,
I'm not quite sure what to call it, but my "user folder" contains Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Movies, Music, etc. in Finder. It's the folder that is my name.
Anyway, I've noted that there are a bunch of random blank files that have appeared in this folder, such as:
}%FB%F500
1%BC[
9$%92%E2%8F%F9prS}{r%92
YZh2%D6
It says there are all plain text, and zero KB.
Does anyone know what these are and why they have appeared? Will it mess anything up if I just delete them?
Thanks!

I remember having things like that pop up when using some open source app.
I can't recall which one it was, but something to do with time management or mind mapping.
I guess (at least in my case) it was probably sloppy programming leaving behind empty temp files.
I'd just trash them.

I've encountered saving photo that turnout as a blank file with no picture on Photoshop Elements 9.

I have encountered saving my photos that turnout as blank files with no pictures after some manupilation on Photoshop Elements 9.
Uninstalled and reinstalled the program but still facing the same blank files. Any advice of how to rectify the problem. Thanks.

Are you renaming these files when you save? Are you using a character like a dot or slash in the name (my.photo.jpg, for instance)?

I have sent files several times now and when the recipient clicks the link to open. it says page cannot be found. This just started happening. what needs to be corrected?

In Adobe Send, I have sent files several times now and when the recipient clicks the link to open, it says page cannot be found. This just started happening. What needs to be corrected?

I can think of a couple of reasons for this behavior.
You inadvertently turned off the sharing for the files.
The link that the user is clicking on is incomplete; perhaps it got broken across lines in an email message. Are you sending Anonymous Links or Personalized Invitations? If the former, are you certain that you copied the entire link?
Some things to try.
Have the user send the link back to you so that you can test it. Does it work for you?
If you look at your Sent Files list, is the name in the Sent To column struck through (e.g., John Smith)? That would indicate that it has been unshared.
If you could get back to me with answers, perhaps we can get to the bottom of this.

Does write to measurement file need a blank file?

Do we need to supply a blank file to write to measurement file? I am supplying a file with some text headers in it to my Write to measurement file, and for some reason it generates Error 100, saying that it is "not a path". I am not sure, if I need to supply a blank file or not. Also, is it possible to get rid of the headers that write to measurement VI itself generates in the file, and supply my own headers instead?
Thanks.

Please stick to your original post, where you are already being helped on this issue.

I am trying to create a panorama, when I enter File New I don't get the Photomerge Panorama option, the only options that appear are Blank file and File from clipboard. How do I get photomerge panorama

I am trying to create a panorama. When I enter FILE > NEW > the Photomere panorama option does not appear. the only options are Blank file and file from clipboard. This is in Elements 11 on Windows 8.1 OS. How do I get Photomerge Panorama to appear.

Since PSE11, you access the photomerge option in the 'Enhance' menu, last option. Or you can use the organizer (menu Edit / Photomerge).

Photoshop Elements 9 won't open blank files or copy from clipboard

PE9 for Macwon't open blank files or "copy from clipboard." I get error messages that say, "Could not complete the command because of a problem using the Adobe color engine," when I try to create a new blank file, and "Could not place because of a program error" when trying to "copy from clipboard."

To reset your preferences at the time of launching PSE press command+option+shift key combination untill following pop up comes.

Blank File Info window

I'm using Windows XP and InDesign CS 6. Whenever I go to File>File Info... or if I press AltShiftCtrl+I, I get a useless blank File Info window staring at me. It shows up as a gray page and there are no buttons to click on. I have to hit Escape to get out of it. Please any help would be appreciated on how to solve this issue, which I've been having since InDesign CS5.

Blank File Info panel after osx archive and install (CS5)

Hi,
After osx archive and install I get a blank File Info panel (into AI, PS, ID and other CS5 applications), how could be solved this??
Best regards, Robert

Hi,
solved by full remove/install CS5.. but how could be restored correct access rights?
Also replied me Vikas.Sharma:
Create a new text file named XMP.cfg (make sure the extension is cfg and not txt).
The only text that needs to be in that file is as below:
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/
Restart the Adobe application and check the File Info panel again.
You need to copy that file to /Library/Application Support/Macromedia/FlashPlayerTrust (create the directory if not already there)
but, why osx archive and install isnt working fine with flash?
The only troubles (solved) are quicklook flv contents and XMP file info panes into all CS5 applications, could be solved next time by a short and fast procedure?
Best regards, Robert

Plsql clob document attachment goes as blank file !!!

2 things to do:

Action Cam, Recording blank files

I have an action cam with a 64gb Sandisk Card, when i set it to record it will record files of 10-12 mins at a time instead of continuous, which is fine, but after 4 files the 5th an on are totally blank, they had a data size, 1.77gb, a file name as normal, and a type .mp4 as normal. But there is no no video same with any photographs, the are all blank........ When I later added a new file without the watch it was a blank file again, if using the watch instead of just the button on camera, it works fine again. Does this mean I need to always use the watch, I paddleboard and the watch is just a pain to use all the time....

I was having exactly the same problem and fingers crossed I have sussed it. Well it worked for me, hopefully you too! The problem I had was I got a 64GB card and noticed as soon as the clip got to anythinging bigger than a few hundred MB it would not download to PC or play back for love nor money, either through the PC or the Camera app on iphone/ipad etc. I have seen EE's advice, download VLC. Well I tried that and I tried every player I had, Itunes, VLC, etc etc, all coming back with various messages, mainly saying the codec must be corrupted. EE were unable to help so..... Try formatting the card from the camera itself and not in the PC. It's in the settings, just go through the menu and you will find it. Format it in situ and voila! Now I did not do this previously beacuse as soon as i got the card and put it in the camera it seemed to work fine as I did a quick short clip to test it. It seemed that as they get bigger they did not work. Unfortunately you will lose everything you have recorded and you will not be able to recover them. I can say it has worked perfectly since, any size and EVERY time. Good luck and if this works, pass it on! It seems a common problem so hopefully, if this works for everyone, EE will add it onto the quick links.
