Brush cursor is warped, yet settings are default

My brush tool is unable to produce a perfectly round point. I have reviewed brush options, doubled checked roundness as well as all options pretaining to angle. I have also reset all tools to default. For some reason though, my brush tool always produces a "squished" looking point. I do have a tablet but this problem persist regardless of it being plugged in or not.
Any thoughts?

Try resetting the prefs either by keyboard or the manual way:

If that don't work go to your video card manufacturer website and update the video card drivers.

PDF Settings are defaulting to Standard

We have a system that when we select PDF settings and choose Press Quality, it always reverts to Standard. The resulting PDF file is not in Press Quality, but in Standard.
We have never seen this before. Is there some master setting that is keeping it from using the Press Quality Setting?
We have tried exporting the file to an .inx file and re-opening it, but that does not solve the problem. It happens on all files, not just some.
Thanks,
David

i am using the indesign cs4 and i exported the file for prepress (a magazine) in pdf press quality. when the print office analyzed it, they told me there was a problem with my images. it seemed that all the parts made of gradients (including the images) were low resolutioned during the pdf procces even if in pdf on the screen u couldnt notice it. When the image was printed it came out like dotted.
then i did a test, i exported the same file with cs3 and it didn't have this problem while its size was bigger.
this makes me turn again at cs3. so is there any option to convert into pdf files without loosing quality with indesign cs4??

When I change from "remember History" to "use custom settings" it defaults back to remember history when I close the window. How do I keep my new setting?

I need 3rd party cookies enabled for a specific site. When I try to save custom settings, it defaults back to remember history and I can't open what I need on the site

Enabling thirds-party cookies is the default and if there aren't any other changes made then Firefox will show "Remember History"
Choosing the "Use custom settings for history" setting doesn't make any changes.<br />
If Firefox shows the "Use custom settings for history" setting then that is an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings are not the default to make you aware that changes were If all History settings are default then you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History" and the custom settings are hidden.<br />

When I close CS6 changes in settings are not saved. Reverts to default settings on reopen. Why?

Sorry Photoshop -- Problems solved -- I read the details -- turns out you need to make changes with no files open for the preferences to apply to all files.

After updating to Yosemite, my screen saver settings are not maintained. The screen saver reverts to some Apple default. There is no way to get my setting to be maintained.

Hi ..
Might be corrupted preferences.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.screensaver.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.screensaver.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac then reset your screen saver.

Pen tool, Rounded ractangle and Brush cursor.

Hi, Good Day.
There are things that I want to say about using CS4.
1.   Pen tool.
In Photoshop 5.0, I found that it is faster to <stroke path> compared to the newer version of PS. In PS 5.0, I never need to exit pen tool mode whenever I wanted to select the brush sizes. The Brush size Selection 'tray' tab is always available even when I’ve exit the brush mode. Thus make the stroke works become faster, simpler and easier.
And this is not happen in CS4. What I see is when every time I want to stroke the paths, to choose the brush size I must exit the pen tool mode ; and when I’m back the pen tool mode again, the brush option tray will gone. This slows me every time when I want to choose brush or when I want to re-correct or to re-stroke in order for looking the right brush size and style; it's really complicates me.
So, can Adobe do something about the Brush Selection tab so it always availed like other tabs, like PS5.0 do? Which like swatches tab, color tab, etc.. So it wouldn’t go off next time when we exit the brush mode; thus saves time.
2.   Rounded rectangle.
Problem: I want to modify my rounded rectangle shape by adjusting the all the four rounded edges evenly without ruining the square shape. The problem is the shape is too free, the points are working individually and paths are “flabby”.
Can someone tell me know how to lock the shape?
It’s like what in Microsoft Word do. The rounded rectangle lines can be locked so I can adjust the edges to be rounder and rounder, whether partly or simultaneously.
3.     Brush cursor.
I found that the brush cursor seem to be ‘unstable’; which is that the PS will change the Normal brush cursor to the Precise brush cursor when I’m using the Text tool, and I can’t change the cursor back to Normal cursor again after exiting the text tool and I'm also not on the text layer. And sometimes this problem happens even when I’m not using the Text tool; for example when I’m doing some copy and paste job.
The only solution is to close PS and restart my computer. What I should do?
Thanks for your concern.

Hi Bion_s,
In the course of playing around in Illustrator to find a solution, I found that if you open your appearance panel (Window > Appearance), select the fly-out menu and deselect New Art has Basic Appearance.
I found that with this option unselected, you can select your stroke width and profile and draw multiple times without it reverting to the default stroke!
Please let me know if this works for you. I'm not sure how this might affect your workflow on other projects, but it did result in the behavior you seemed to want.
Cheers,
Michael

Why can't I toggle between current settings and defaults on the ACR basic panel?

When I try to toggle between current settings and defaults, I get a blue or black screen in the "After" image so I can not compare before and after. The toggle doesn't work when I am viewing a single image or when I am viewing before and after side-by-side. The blue or black image looks like the image is totally clipped, but it's the same whether clipping is on or off. Command-Option-P does not work either. Also, the histogram totally disappears when I try to toggle. So I think something is corrupted, and I'd like to know how to fix it. BTW, this toggle works fine when I am in the adjustment brush panel; it's the basic panel where it doesn't work. I use Photoshop CC (2014) and Bridge CC on a new iMac--Yosemite. All are up to date (ACR 8.7.1.311). I am not using Lightroom. I would appreciate a suggested fix. Confession: I am very new to the Mac environment and just returning to Photoshop after an absence so I'm finding my way; there's a good chance I'm making a rookie mistake. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions on where else I might post my question.

The only fix at the moment is to hold the option key when clicking the green button.
Send Apple your feedback and this might get fixed: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

Why is my server not working? What am I doing wrong? settings are posted.

Ok, I'm so overwhelmed, but not willing to give up! I would like to set up this server in my home through our Comcast Cabel modem on a mac mini. Our IP has not changed in 2 years with comcast. If I get this working, I plan to move this server, and go live in our company office, which DOES have a static IP address. But I need to set this up and start testing all the solutions like VPN, iCAL, ICHAT, and Address Book.
VPN has been my main service to set up first and test! IF I can get that to work, I hope to get the others to work as well. It's also the first mission critical. I think my DNS settings are somehow off either at Network Solutions or something on my server...
I've been using "help" from various responses to other problemshere in these discussions and other places, and now, I'm just overwhelmed and confused, so it's now my turn to post the problem and ask for help!
I'll post this with REAL IP information, because I think it will help other people in the same situation. Also, once I get this to work, I plan to move it a new location, and then request a change of my home IP from comcast....
I welcome and REALLY appreciate any help. I'm at wits end... normally, I can figure these kinds of tech puzzles, but I could use guidance here!
Thanks!
Ethan-
I bought and installed OS X server 10.6. on a brand new Mac Mini.
Here is the story. The domain I bought and own is bostonbecker.com
Network Solutions is where I bought and manage the domain. It allows me to change the DNS from theirs to another one, so I have it pointing to a hosting company we use called PaeTec. I can't find a place that lets it point the domain to my home router IP address.
so inside Network Solutions, the domain name servers are
HDNS1.FAST.NET
HDNS2.FAST.NET
The above domain name servers are given to me from dedicated hosting company to point to their computers.
To control that dedicated server from the hosting company, we login to that system via PLESK via Safari.
So, using Plesk, I've logged into our dedicated server, opened the settings for bostonbecker.com and created the following under the control for DNS settings:
In the picture above, the ip address 24.60.63.216 is my home comcast assigned IP address that never seems to change. the IP address 209.92.71.43, is something else, I don't really know, I think ti's from my dedicated server company. that record was there by default when I first set up bostonbecker.com with PLESK. I left it there.. I also left hdns1.fast.net as the value for bostonbecker.com because I did not know what to do with it.
Ok... Now lets come to my new server inside my house with Mac OS X server
Here are my settings:
Below are some basic checks I did in Terminal:
Here is the VPN settings panel:
Below is the L2PT settings
Below is the PTPP Setings:
Below is the iChat server settings:
Below is the router settings I'll change my IP address for security once I get this to work!
Below is a snap shot of the port forwarding on the D-link gaming router:

Hello,
Why are you handing out 192.185.2.1 through 192.185.2.10 in your VPN Addresses
Should this 192.168.0.XXX through 192.168.0.XXX and out of range on what the router is handing out?
Why don't you try making your Server 192.168.0.2 using your router as the gateway of 192.168.0.1
Set your router's DHCP scope 192.168.0.10 through 192.168.0.100
Set your VPN addresses for L2TP 192.168.0.101 through 192.168.0.149
Set your VPN addresses for PPTP 192.168.0.150 through 192.168.0.199
Thanks,

Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later; Have been trying to fix for ages.

Hi Everyone, been struggling all day to restore my settings on my ipod, as my little brother has put a restriction password in place and made me not able to get into Safari, iTunes, Camera which I really need. I have tried everything, resetting my proxy settings, turning off the firewall, changing my network location, ran diagnostics. Everything seems fine on that, I post below my results. I also tried restoring from the device, but with the restrictions code in place I can not do so. And everytime I am dowloading the software update before the restore it comes up with 'Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later'.

Hi Diesel vdub,
Did that and I tried again, download stops halfway through and comes up with same message I have already quoted. Wifi Signal is 5/5, network is working, just not letting me download via iTunes.

I have signed to up to iCloud and am pretty sure that all of my settings are turned on appropriately. However I get syncing from iCloud to my Mac and to my iPhone, but I am unable to get my iPhone to sync with the iCloud and most obviously calendar events

I have signed to up to iCloud and am pretty sure that all of my settings are turned on appropriately. However I get syncing from iCloud to my iMac and to my iPhone, but I am unable to get my iPhone to sync with the iCloud and most obviously calendar events, so that if adding an event on my iPone it never appears on my other hardware? Can anyone help me sort this out?

Re: check that the appointments in my phone are going into iCloud calendars....exactly how do I do this? I fear this is a really stupid question!
My iCloud account is set up with my Apple ID as one email account (for example [email protected]) which is the email account I use to sign up for internet sites like Amazon, Apple,etc, so that I can differentiate vendors/mass emails. But my default calendar on my iPhone is in a different email name (ie [email protected]) which I use for most communications to friends, relatives, etc. and it is this account that holds most of my appointments. To further complicate things I have other email accounts that I use for business/professional and community work. If I want all my calendars to show on my iPhone AND sync to my iCloud, do I set this at the phone level or the iCloud level? or both?
Let me clarify....It looks like if I go into appointments that I previously set up through my personal account (ie above [email protected]) and edit the entry on my iPhone, selecting the iCloud "home" calendar within the entry, it will then sync to my iCloud account, no problem....do I have to do this to EVERY entry I have? or is there a way to name my personal account as one to sync to iCloud?

"Print Settings" are not stored in the print preset

Hi everybody,
It seems that, no matter how many times i save and update the profile, all the print setting (image size, sharpening, bit depth, color management, ...) are store within the preset, all but the Epson Driver settings, which have to be selected every single time.
I really can't remember if this bug was present in 4.0 or not (I'm currently running 4.1 RC), but I'm quite sure it was working OK under 3.x. Here's the thing.
I configure the printing settings and create. a profile: Profile1.
I change all the settings and create a second profile: Profile2. The "Print Settings" settings are different, same printer, one for Color (Profile1), one for Advanced B&W (Profile2).
I click on Profile1 (which was created with color Print Settings). Clicking on "Print Settings" or "Print", the printer settings selected under the epson driver is the ABW one (the one that belongs to Profile2).
I reselect the correct setting from "Print Settings..." (Color).
Click "Save" again.
Righ-t click on Profile1 -> Update with current Settings. Setting seems to be saved.
I then click on Profile2 and bam! The "Print Settings..." seems to be rverted to color instead of ABW.
Update the correct settings, back to point #3
Can you reproduce this? This behavior is vanishig the power of the "Print One" button, unless you constantly print with tha same Driver settings.
Lightroom version: 4.1 RC [820174]
Version: 10.7 [3]
Application architecture: x64
Physical processor count: 4
Processor speed: 2,4 GHz
Built-in memory: 8192,0 MB
Real memory available to Lightroom: 8192,0 MB
Real memory used by Lightroom: 2388,3 MB (29,1%)
Virtual memory used by Lightroom: 4759,6 MB
Memory cache size: 866,7 MB
Displays: 1) 2560x1440, 2) 1680x1050
Epson R3000, latest OS X Epson Drivers.

I may have resolved the issue.
The bug is there, because the name of the preset is kept as the last used, which is wrong.
If you revert to the default "Default Settings" Epson preset, and change all the parameters as you like, then click Save and update the Lightroom preset, the settings are stored correctly.
You'll have to check every preset (I have two dozens) and re-update with the new correct (or wrong?) Driver configurations, so that you could have faith again in the "Print One" button.

Settings are not being saved when i reboot

i am having a problem when i restart my computer my settings such as dock settings background settings are not being saved how do i resolve this problem?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Is this just for new settings that won't stick? Or have all your original settings reverted to the defaults? Have you started up from your Mac OS X install disk and used the Disk Utility to "repair disk"? Do you have a backup of your important files?

HELP!!! My settings are wrong need to send for printing

Hi
I am doing brochure's for my company. I am from South Africa.
I use Illustrator for the brochure, Layout and Text.
Last month the printer had problems with printing the brochure. I discovered my settings are wrong.
This was the settings:
Colour Setting
Settings:     Custom
WorkingSpace
RGB:               sRGB IEC61966-2. 1
CMYK:            U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2
Color Management Policies:
RGB:               Off
CMYK:             Preserve Numbers (Ignore Linked Profiles)
Profile Mismatches: Ask When Opening (ticked)
                               Ask When Pasting ( Not Ticked)
Missing profiles:       Ask When Opening (Ticked)
Then I did research On Adobe Community Help and changed it to the below but its wrong too
Colour Setting
Settings:     Europe Prepress 3
WorkingSpace
RGB:               Adobe RGB (1998)
CMYK:            Coated FOGRA39 (ISO 12647-2:2004)

CMYK:             Preserve Numbers (Ignore Linked Profiles)
Profile Mismatches: Ask When Opening (ticked)
                               Ask When Pasting (Ticked)
Missing profiles:       Ask When Opening (Ticked)
Can someone help me to set it right according to RSA printers settings, something like a default setting.
Last Month the printer said the below:
- fonts are not embedded.
- black is not on overprint and is 4 colour black
I never had this problem before, so I have no idea what went wrong all of a sudden.
Now when I open my prevoius work on Illustrator or Photoshop, a small window pops up saying work is not according to this settings, etc.
Please help. Im desperate.
I need to start my new brochure tomorrow
Thank you in advance
Kajal

You should get a preflight checklist from your print vendor. Here's what I have set in Illustrator...
You should also send the print vendor a press-ready PDF. Not all of the file problems are limted to color settings. For instance...
"Last Month the printer said the below:
- fonts are not embedded. "
When you Save As > EPS, select "Include Fonts" in the selection process; and when Save As > Press Quality PDF, select "Embed Fonts" in the Settings dialogs.
"- black is not on overprint and is 4 colour black"
In Preferences > Appearance of Black, select "Accurate Black" in both screen and print; in your file, set appropriate Black elements to Overprint in the Color "Attributes" dialog.
Whenever you are not sure what the printer is talking about, ask them to explain what they mean and help you fix the problems. If they refuse, ask them where you can get help. Most good shops will be willing to help you.
