Brush strokes show in history but not reflected on mask

I have CS4 Extended, Dell Precision M0, WinXP 64bit and 20GB of Ram (overkill I know). This issue happens most often in the 32bit version of PS which I need to use for certain filters. It also happens in the 64bit version but takes longer to manifest itself.
When I apply a filter to a duplicate layer and then add a layer mask OR of I add an adjustment layer and try to fine tune the effect by painting on the mask, the brush strokes show up in history but they have no affect on the mask. It typically happens mostly on very large files such as those from my 5DMKII but also happens if I've added several layers and masks to smaller files.
As a workaround, I can make selections and fill the area on the mask with black and it works. This is time consuming as you can imagine.
The brush problem is only related to masks. I can create a new layer, for instance, and paint on it with black or any color.
I've also had this issue when trying to use the spot removal tool or when cloning. Again...very large files.
I've entered every imaginable query and haven't had any luck! I'm hoping someone here has a clue.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply. I sure wish it were that simple but no....that is not the problem. I'm an advanced PS user and know the workings of a computer well. I've been through every imagineable possibility and now am wondering if my video card isn't up to the task of redrawing the brush strokes on huge files. I'm grasping at straws.
Thanks anyway.

    Lightning is a problem for you because it hooks into Thunderbird at a low level and you need a version compiled for the platform Thunderbird is running on. So you can't do the preferred solution, which is to put your whole profile in a shared folder and have both instances of Thunderbird reference the same profile. (Ditto for Enigmail). Lightning may become an integral part of Thunderbird in an upcoming release, at which point this limitation due to Lightning should disappear.
    And if you can't use a shared profile, you can't set your Lightning, or your Address Book, to share a common set of files. Put another way, the linkage from Thunderbird to its address book files and calendar data is hard-coded, and not exposed where we can adjust it. :-(
    The halfway house is to place your mail stores in a shared place, and use the Local Directory setting in each account's settings to connect to it. They don't need to be in the profile; what's more important in your case is that they are in a folder accessible to both operating systems.
    Look in your profile; everything under Mail and ImapMail needs to be moved out to a shared folder. Note the entries in Thunderbird under Local Directory before you do this, and reconstruct those pathnames in Thunderbird, but adjusted to suit their new locations.
    (You can see here that you need to make many adjustments, one per account, in each instance of Thunderbird, so it's a high-maintenance solution and this is why we don't recommend it when the alternative, moving the whole profile, is possible.)
    I share address books and calendars between Thunderbirds on various computers (and my phone and tablet) by syncing to something in the cloud; Google Contacts and Google Calendar are my choices, using gContactSync and CalDav.
    Having made the break myself some years ago, I'd recommend you break away from Windows. ;-)

  • How do I delete some history but not all without it crashing?

    I remember that Firefox used to allow deleting of only some history but not the most recent. For example, I was able to go into Options and under the Privacy tab, I could choose for Firefox to remember the last 7 days, 30 days, etc. Now, it seems that I can only choose "Remember history", "Do not remember history", and the custom option does not allow me to choose how long I want Firefox to remember the history while deleting everything else.
    When I press Ctrl-H to open up the history on the side, it shows all the history from a very long time. I remember I used to be able to right-click on a folder (say several months back) and delete it all. Now if I try to do the same thing, it takes a long time and essentially crashed.
    I do not know why these features were removed but Firefox is very difficult to use as a result of that now. Could you please help me out with this?
    Thanks.

    If you have problem with deleting the history in the Library then you can delete the places.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder.<br />
    Note that this will remove all history (you can copy/paste or drag history items to a bookmarks folder).
    Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.

    Current Firefox versions do not have a time limit for the history.
    Firefox determines automatically how many pages can be kept without affecting the performance.
    You can see the current value via the read-only pref places.history.expiration.transient_current_max_pages on the about:config page.

  • HT201272 Album in purchase history but not purchases

    I recently bought a new computer and after downloading my previous purchases, I realized I was missing a album. The album shows up in my purchase history but not the purchases available for download. In the I-store it appears that I would have to buy the album again since I do not see a download button like the instructions say there should be. How can I get access to the album?

    Since the title says "bonus track version" I have been going with the idea when in the store that I have to correct version pulled up. Since one can only download once, if the album is already been purchased and downloaded, how would I know if I have to correct album pulled up? Should it not say Buy? I have had issues in the past with Pink vs P!nk but this album is by a Gary so that is not an issue

  • Since upgrading Firefox, it no longer accepts URLs in the URL bar - it works if I have a bookmark, a link or from History, but not if I enter or paste a URL.

    Firefox 33.0.2 on Windows 8.1 64 bit. Since upgrading Firefox, it no longer accepts URLs in the URL bar - it works if I have a bookmark, a link or from History, but not if I enter or paste a URL and hit <enter>, in which case nothing happens at all.
    I have found that issue reported for Ubuntu (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1011935?esab=a&as=aaq) but not for Windows. The solution there to change the keyboard is not feasible since it's a laptop with a built-in keyboard.
    I did not have this issue with FF 28 (I finally upgraded because I was getting BSODs) and I don't have this issue with any other Browser on same platform.
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • Push button ijn appraisal showing in backend but not showing inn portal

    Hi Expert,
    I would like to ask that push button in appraisal while configuring ESS/MSS package.
    It is showing in backend, but not showing in portal.
    Request you to give your inputs to bring push button on to the portal.

    Hi,
    are you using the same user to access backend and portal?. In backend, did you try from transaction PHAP_CHANGE with that user?. If you try with transaction PHAP_ADMIN in backed you are accessing as administrator, so you cannot compare the behaviour in PHAP_ADMIN and portal.

  • Did download OS X Mountain Lion and see the features in my applications, but not reflecting in my APPS purchases.

    did download OS X Mountain Lion and see the features in my applications, but not reflecting in my APPS purchases.
    also this takes huge amount of time, almost 10 hours to download, even using 3G Net connection.

    Hi kiwirudy,
    I've had the same problem more than once since I started trying to download my 14 April purchase of OS X Mountain Lion.
    I found a property list called manifest.plist in my ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder which had a Boolean property called failed checked. I unchecked it and afterwards I was able to resume my download.
    Here are some steps I've found useful:
    Close the Mac App Store.
    make a copy of the  ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder. For some strange reason the Mac App Store likes to just delete it in some circumstances, which will mean that one has to start one's download again from the very beginning.
    Double click on the manifest.plist in one's ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder.
    This should open it in Property List Editor.
    Expand all the nodes (holding down the alt key and clicking on the highest collapsed node should do it.
    Find a key called failed of type Boolean and uncheck it.
    Save the manifest.plist and close it.
    Open the Mac App Store.
    The red message "an error has occured" should now be gone and one should be able to resume one's download.
    In the event that the ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder gets deleted:
    start the download again (it will start from the beginning), pause it and close the Mac App Store.
    copy your backup copy of the pkg file back to its sub-folder (it's a numbered folder in the ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder).
    Open the Mac App Store and resume your download.
    It should continue from where it left off.
    This has worked for me so far. I'm holding my breath. Don't know if I'll still be alive when it's finished.
    Regards
    Nic

  • Html Validation icon shows in IE but not in Mozilla

    html Validation icon shows in IE but not in Mozilla
    Hi, All,
    I use DWMX 2004
    I placed the hmtl validation icon at the bottom of a template
    so that
    each page could be conveniently validated.
    The icon is showing all right, both locally and online, in
    IE, but it is
    not showing in Mozilla.
    What can I do to fix this?
    www.tudo.co.uk/testing/rishton/shell/contents/contact/contact.html
    The icon should appear underneath the up-arrow at the bottom
    of the page.
    Here is the template, with html extension for your

    Hi, thanks for this information about Firefox. Hope someone
    else may
    have an answer for Mozilla.
    Concerning the validation errors. I know about the million of
    validation errors, we are upgrading a site from doc type
    'transitional'
    to doc type 'strict'. We have the site on a test server, put
    the
    validation icon first, let it point out the errors, then fix
    them one by
    one. When they have been fixed the site is published. (i.e.
    we are not
    claiming the site is valid when it isn't).
    If somebody else can reproduce the problem in Mozilla I
    should be most
    grateful.
    btw, I am Adrian Stock (=Adrian.Stock22), do not know why I
    am showing
    on the screen as 'domain unknown'.
    Ah, perhaps I did not log in properly.

  • E Recruitment -Candidate applied for job but not reflected candidate name

    E Recruitment
    Candidate applied for job but not reflected candidate name Recruiter Dashboard
    Please any one suggests me what is problem?
    Regards
    Eshwar

    Hello Sri,
    the solution to your first question might be very easy. In EhP 4 the entries in the dashboard do not appear automatically. In most cases you have to refresh the dashboard (be aware this is only effecting the current dashboard work list, not all if you do not use the refresh all button). Soclick the "My new Applications" and then refress this workset.
    If this does not help we will have to look closer into this issue (overall I assume you have EhP4 SP 6 applied).
    For question 2. It is a quite common requirement that an external publication is nearly only based on the posting texts while the internal publication includes much more specific information (org. management, cost center, pay scale group). As you are free in designing you own company specific internal and external publications they can look however you want (in the general restriction what a smartform can do of course). For different publication texts companies create different postings one for internal and one for external publication. The additional information are in some cases entered directly into these texts, in some cases maintained in e-rec fields not needed for other requirements, in customer own fields or directly gathered from the HR core system. It depends a bit on the exact requirement which is the best solution. For the fields you mentioned I'd probably go for OM integration for e-rec (assigning positions to requisition) and get the Information via customer RFC function module directly in the smartform (if the security guys allow the access to the HR system from the e-rec system).
    For question 3. The manager should be able to see the decision maker data overview. Here you can include whatever you want as you can replace it with a customer developed smartform.
    Kind Regards
    Roman

  • Office365- I created shared mailboxes for a user- they show on web but not on Outlook2013

    I created shared mailboxes for a user- they show on web but not on Outlook2013-
    If the user logs on to office365 web - I can see the 3 shared folders- but if when she opens Outlook she is not able to see them-
    Do they - should they be manually added ? How ?
    Thanks !!

    Hi,
    Thanks for your question.
    Not sure what exactly you mean by "created shared mailboxes for a user", by default, Outlook automatically loads all mailboxes to which the user has "Full Access" permission. So please first check if you have granted the right permissions
    for that mailbox to the user.
    When I say "By default", I mean you didn't disable the Outlook Auto-Mapping service. If you did, then the shared mailbox will not be automatically added to the user's Outlook profile. So please have a check on this:
    https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2646504
    Also, please note if the shared mailbox was just created, or the user was just added as a member of that shared mailbox, you probably will need to wait for a few hours for the shared mailbox to appear in the user's Outlook folder.
