BUG: Adding guide randomly changes resolution to 4,000+ dpi and width to 1.111"(CS4)

Bizarre bug, wondering if anyone has encountered this and if anyone please has any insight.
Upgraded to CS4 about a month ago, and in the last few weeks have discovered a major bug. I'm working in some 300 dpi files, and was confounded when I realized several of them were suddenly over 4,000 dpi and had all been rescaled to 1.111" wide.
Just now, I discovered when: I was dragging in a guide, when all of a sudden I noticed the ruler on the side jumped in, and the file was now 1.111". I was unable to undo it, as previous steps stayed at the same scale. Also, it doesn't happen every time I drag in a guide, just randomly. And it doesn't seem to happen in every file either.
I've found that if I divide the resolution by 300 and then multiply the width by the result, the file returns to its proper dimensions. Still, this is totally bizarre behavior.
Please help me!

The current version of Photoshop is 11.0.1. You need to update your copy ASAP.
Your OS is also out of date. Update to 10.6.3 by applying the Combo 10.6.3 update rather than the incremental update performed by Software Update.

How can I change the tabs look to 3D,and Width

My tabs were 3D and were better visible. I did the reset to repair the slowness and now the tads look flat. Also how do I change the width?

I just noticed when I click a tab the icon will return so this problem is solved, now back to my first question how to get back the 3D appearance.

How to make PDF file size smaller from an Illustrator file without changing the quality or size (length and width) of the file?

Is there a way to make a 30x42 size (40 GB) Illustrator file as a PDF but make the file smaller in size (able to email to clients) with out compromising the quality of the file or the size of the file?

If you are working in RGB you can embed a colour profile. Embed ICC Profiles is one of the Acrobat save options. It will increase files size dramatically.
When you save your pdf you can choose the compression method for placed images. Default is ZIP which is really no compression at all for pixel images. Instead you should opt for JPG compression (of varying degree according to how sensitive the images are to compression).
You should also examine the other Acrobat save options. To minimize file size you should not have any of the options checked (Preserve Illustrator Editing Capability, Embed page Thumbnails etc. etc.).
40 gigabytes for a file like the one you show is ridiculous. Did you maybe embed the placed images? If so, don’t. Keep them linked unless you really need to embed them.

IPhone 5c ..The Time keeps randomly changing.

My Iphone 5c shows an incorrect time, i tried a few things including resetting the phone. I have changed the time manually but after an hour or so the time just randomly changes. This is very frustrating and makes the phone useless to use as an alarm clock. I am sure it has to be a software issues but have tried syncing and like i said i have even done a hard reset but all to no avail!...Please help..is driving me mad.

Hello LaylaAlHajeri,
It sounds like you the time is acting unexpectedly on your iPhone. I recommend starting by closing all the open apps on your device:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that and restart the phone and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If it persists, I would next try the steps in the article named:
iOS: Troubleshooting issues with date and time
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3920
Follow these steps. Test after each step to see if the issue is resolved.
Ensure that the version of iOS on your device is up to date.
If the option to enable date and time automatically is available, turn it on. Tap Settings > General > Date & Time.
Ensure that your time zone is set up correctly. Tap Settings > General > Date & Time > Time Zone.
If the incorrect date, time, or time zone is being set up automatically on the device, please notify your cellular provider. In the meantime, tap General > Date & Time and turn off Set Automatically. Then set the appropriate time and time zone manually.
Note: The option to set automatically might not be available on all carriers in all countries.

(ios5 ipad bugs)I can't get changes of album art, artist, album and other tags to show up in the iPad music player, but they show up correctly in the iTunes device view. Certain random songs do not sync correctly. Wifi sync hasn't worked yet.

(ios5 ipad bugs)I can't get changes of album art, artist, album and other tags to show up in the iPad music player, but they show up correctly in the iTunes device view. Certain random songs do not sync correctly. Wifi sync hasn't worked yet.
I mostly use technology for education and professional audiovisuals and lights.
I don't sync music because I use music from at least 4 different computers. (manually mange music)
I use my iPad to play performance tracks for church and a local gospel group out of our church, Won4Christ.
I chose to buy the iPad because the laptop of one of the group members (dellxps running iTunes) was randomly losing and mixing up music and I wanted a more stable option that was bigger than my iPod touch.
I tried to add some data to music libraries that I previously added to my iPad, but the data only shows up when looking at the device in iTunes.
Wifi sync has not worked on either my laptop or desktop ( both running windows 7 enterprise 64 and newest iTunes) not really a big issue, but very annoying
When browsing through library playlist albums on the iPad, random artwork shows up on playlists with no artwork that you touch while dragging, and it does not go away until you change to another navigation tab and back.
Random songs out of hundreds that I added showed up in iTunes grayed out with a sync circle beside them. Those songs would play back okay on the iPad but were unplayable through the iTunes device view. I had to delete the songs manually through the library along with the playlist and add them again.
These seem to be major stability bugs in the "new" music app and iTunes. My only option right now seems to be to delete the songs that I want to change and re-add them with the changes already applied rather than changing the id3 tags and artwork on the existing music. I hope apple will release updates to resolve these issues.
Thank you for actually making it to the end of this manuscript of annoyances.

Just wondered if anyone had any other suggestions.

WHY do we get a %*# update every 2 weeks while the 1 really bad bug (fonts and sizes randomly changing when typing) persists????

Is there any way to STOP TB from sending updates every couple of weeks (and BTW this has slowed down/crashed TB increasingly in the past couple of months) UNTIL they fix this really irritating bug of randomly changing fonts and sizes when writing a mail? Outlook doesn't do this, Apple mail doesn't do this, so TB stop spamming and start addressing real problems for a change!!!!

It would be helpful perhaps to focus on "the real issue" of font size and compose, rather to digress into how vendors choose to deliver the product.
font issues arose in the past year. I forget exactly when. It is quite a bad problem. My recollection is it was a serializer change not done by Thunderbird developers, and that part of it was fixed in version 24. But I could be wrong.
Would you be willing to try version 31?

My Thai language song titles change to random symbols when added to iTunes. How can I prevent this and get the titles to appear in Thai?

My wife bought a Thai mp3 CD. When saved to the mac the titles appear correctly in Thai language. When we use iTunes to search for music and import these songs, iTunes changes the Thai language character to random symbols basically making the titles illegible, and the playlist unuseable if we want to select any songs by title.
Any idea how I can get iTunes to display the song titles correctly (in Thai language)? i.e. as they are in the folder that the songs are saved in?
Thanks a lot if anyone can help...

To display right in iTunes the ID3 tags have to be in Unicode. This app may help:

Why do the recording settings in GarageBand 10.0.3 randomly change if I delete the track?

When I choose the "Narrator" setting to record voice only, and then decide to delete that track and record a different one - it randomly changes the setting from "Narrator" to "Bright Voice" or some other category. Sometimes the Narrator setting disappears altogether and is not even a choice. Also - sometimes there is no sound recorded on the tracks, even after it was just working fine and I did not change any settings. Other times, the mic is cutting in and out on the recording, making it unusable. I am using it on a MacBook Pro (late 2008 - 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3) with OS X Yosemite 10.10. Are there bugs in the software, or is my MacBook too old?

Why do drop shadows created in Illustrator CC randomly change their color mix?

Drop shadows that I've created in Illustrator CC will randomly change their color mix when they are different mixtures of cmyk black, usually after closing and opening again. For example, if the drop shadow is 75c 68m 67y 90k, the next time I open the file it will 20c 0m 0y 100k. This happens with many of my files, and has been going on for several months. Thanks.

Hey I found out from the developers that this is actually fixed in version 29 via Bug 965861. Try the pdf viewer in the next version of Firefox, this will take care of that gradient. :-) Cheers.

Changing resolution of bins in Histogram VI.

Hello Everybody,
I have been trying to plot a histogram for my photon counting experiment. I am using the histogram.vi, it is working perfectly fine. I would like to add one feature to the histogram that I am plotting, which is changing resolution of bins. In the example code that I have attached, I have used random number generator (generates 1 to 100) to check the histogram which has 100 bins each with a resolution of one, suppose I want to use 50 bins each with a resolution of 2 or 25 bins with each bin holding 4 values, how can I do this?
Also, once the program terminates, How can clear the histogram memory, so that a fresh polt will be poltted?
Thanks for any help
Pradeep.
Solved!

Hi pradeep,
you wired a constant "100" to the Histogram function and now you wonder how to change the number of bins? Don't use a constant here! Doh…
You don't wnat to clear the histogram, but you want to clear your data buffer. Just initialize the Feedback node!

Login screen changes resolution after a second

It' weird but my login screen on this laptop with arch always loads up at a lower resolution (larger font) then after like one second the screen refreshes into a higher res login. Didn't really know where to search for this issue, does anyone have any idea why it does that? There's also like a randomly red-purple colored T character around the top of the screen doesn't really bother me but maybe it's related somehow. Also I'm describing this in context of an alienware m15x with nvidia geforce GTX 260m
And it's being driven by the nouveau pkg xf86-video-nouveau

Yes, but not for early boot. That needs to be enabled manually. (Nothing to install, though.)

I used to have a problem with Ubuntu/Debian, where by my screen would randomly flicker for a second and random noise/garbled black and white static would appear until I played with something on screen. Then everything would settle down for a while, the resolution would remain the same though. That's never happened on Arch..
I should be clear: it happens as part of the boot process - not when the machine is up and running. It always happens at the same point when the nouveau driver is loaded. The reason it changes resolution is because it is switching to a driver which supports the graphics card properly and so I'm getting native resolution after that point but not before. I can't say it bothered or bothers me. The first time it was heart stopping because nothing, nothing was working and I felt I'd tried everything to get the graphics to be bearable but after that it was just part of the boot process and I was always quite pleased to see it because it meant that the graphics driver was loading! (I had trouble getting it to work and ended up having to blacklist stuff or something. Since this was my first install of GNU/Linux, getting it all working on non-ideal hardware was somewhat like being thrown in at the deep end, even though I used Debian. At least, so it felt at the time... People kept telling me to use the nvidia drivers and I kept explaining that I could not do so because they didn't make them for PPC!)

Settings Randomly Change (i.e. SMTP Enable is now unselected)

Has anyone ever experienced this?
Basically, all is fine, things have been working for months, then suddenly something happens where a service doesn't restart properly.
You investigate and a setting is turned off.
This is the fourth time now this has happened, specifically to SMTP Enable option in Mail settings. (Obviously mail won't restart, until I go in manually and click that option to be enabled).
This morning it happened to me again during a mailbfr backup, the service was stopped, then never restarted. Just said "Mail server is down" over and over again. Looked and the "SMTP Enabled" option was unselected. Selected it, and all was well again.
I looked at the logs and nothing seemed really out of place except maybe the following ...

Is this root email thing something from the server to itself or just coincidence or a hacker or what?
Anyways, I'm really curious if others have experienced settings just changing themselves on their own ever.
Feedback would be appreciated, thanks.

Yeah, I tried that, tough to know if it works though because it's really a problem that isn't reproducible. Just seems to happen once every few months.
I actually removed this file back when I had some DNS issues with Server Admin. I added a DNS entry, and when I clicked on save, all of my DNS entries disappeared. Suddenly, nothing worked. It deleted all of my DNS entries. Was very scary, but in the process of repairing my server I removed the plist file. So I've actually removed the file once prior.
Again, afterwards, all things seem normal, and stay normal; but then suddenly, a backup occurs or I change a setting in Server Admin and Server Admin modifies something it shouldn't be (or a setting is lost somewhere).
I figured at first it was a bug, so I've been waiting for these issues to ... well go away I guess (with the constant updating of my Server Tools from Apple with each OS X Server Update. But seems like these things are still occurring. Last time this happened for me was back on OS X Server 10.5.4. It's been good up until about a week ago.
Thank you for the advice though Pterobyte. Have you ever ran across this before yourself? Does Server Admin actually just get out of sync every once in a while? Not a big deal if it does I suppose, but it's a real shame to have to baby a server.
Client: Our mail server is down!
Me: Oh yeah, that's just Apple losing it's settings... :/

How do I stop DW CS6 randomly changing file permissions via FTP?

How do I stop Dreamweaver CS6 12.0.1.5842 randomly changing file permissions when it uploads files to my web server via FTP.
I can no longer trust Dreamweaver to upload websites correctly as it changes permissions on some files which then deny the server access to the file which in turn makes the webpage unreachable/return a 403 error.
This is driving me insane.
I'm using an early 2011 Macbook Pro 10.7.5.

Hi,
I'm having this problem too. Has Adobe fixed the issue yet? This appears to be an Adobe problem, not all the web hosts out there. CS6 is ramdomly (meaning: not every time) changing permissions on files uploaded with it and is not usable for web work until this problem is fixed by Adobe or a solution is provided. If I wanted to use a separate FTP program I would not have recommended that my employer buy multiple Adobe CS6 product licenses. One of the primary appeals of DW is the integration of FTP into the workflow.
I am using a destop iMac2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 gigs of 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.
OSX 10.7.5
I am using DW Version 12 Build: 5808
Dreamweaver CS4 that I was using until this new purchase was working just fine. No file permisssion changes. I am being forced to go back to using it until Adobe posts a fix for this.
I should ask while I'm here: has anyone found a solution for this yet?
Thanks,

External Monitor changing resolutions on Macbook

I have seen several people ask this question, but I haven't found a suitable answer. I have a MacBook running 10.6.8 at school. I teach and move from room to room hooking up to different projectors and monitors. The set up is just very unstable. Despite its supposed ability to remember settings, it rarely does and the resolutions are messed up as well as the display callibrations. I have an external monitor on my desk. Yesterday, I set the resolution to the native 1280x1024, when I plugged back in, it was back to 1024x768. For some reason, the higher resolution wasn't even appearing on the list until I fiddled with it.
Why is this so buggy on this MacBook running this OS? Is there a way to force it to remember display settings better? Any tips?
I know that other teachers have more problems than I do because they don't even know how to change resolutions or anything like that.
Thanks for any tips, tricks or helpful comments.

Try doing a Parameter RAM reset - hold down command/option/p/r keys at start up and wait for three chimes before releasing the keys.

How do I resize/change resolution of photos from iPhoto when used in iWeb

I am shooting with a 7.1 Mega Pixel Canon to get enough quality to crop and print high quality pictures of my baby daughter and her adventures in the world.
I have a website up made with iWeb, but when I select the photos in iPhoto and go Share / Sent to iWeb / photo page - I get a nice layout of the photos but at full resolution when the thumbnails are selected or the slide show is run. Although nice and sharp, this is a pain for anyone looking at the site even with high speed access.
There must be some way to resize photos, but I have yet to figure that out with iPhoto, let alone iWeb. And as one photo at a time is a pain, there must also be a way to rescale a whole selection of photos that I want to use for a page - say her Disneyworld trip. I can't be the first person to run into this, but I have not found anything out there to point me in the right direction.
Ideally I wold like to create a resized set from the originals - so I can still print and crop in high qulity. I also am not really sure what resolution would be best or easy viewing and download - that's probably subjective. 1200x800 comes to mind but I am open to suggestions.
Perhaps resize is not the right term - changing resolution is probably more accurate, but there too I have not found an answer.
Appreciate the help and suggestions.

dan28088,
Tried your site on two different browsers, using highspeed broadband; the site is, indeed, extaordinarily slow. We can dissect the thing down to the last file, but it won't change anything, as far as I can see. If it were me, I would host the site on another server. The .Mac servers are just plain slow, period. I think that is the primary problem here. Just my opinion, others may disagree.
I created a new site this past weekend for a new project, and published it to .Mac. It contains a lot of jpeg files in slideshows (along with the usual png suspects!) . After reviewing it a few times, and not being satisfied with page-load speeds, I published to a folder and uploaded the site to space on 1&1 WebHosting.
The page-load speeds TRIPLED. That's right...3X as fast page-load speeds. Even large, linked to files, 3MB+, load within a reasonable amount of time. (seconds)
I still will keep a .Mac subscription, as I like and use all of the other features of the iDisk. But for serious website hosting, I think you will be better 'served' with a remote host. Your money with .Mac is certainly not wasted; the syncing services and other features of iDisk space that integrate with your local files are well worth the yearly fee. Again, only one user's opinion, based on experience.
