Color range change in CS4 (why change this?)

another "change" in CS4 i quite dont understand why they did.
in CS3 i was about to sample from the toolbox the forgeground color (black-white) as well as change the foreground color (x)
and then sample from then, ensuring that I was sampling the purest white and black from that channel, now it does not work anymore.
I really feel many changes were done to CS4 were done without consulting (testing?) by heavy users (people that spend 8-12 hours a day with application. Maybe I'm wrong, but it is annoying, even the quick keys for cycling through channels make no sense whatsoever, (command 1, to start from the FIRST channel is so INTUITIVE!!!)

The legacy option that you are looking for in Color Range, is still available by unchecking the strangely named "Localized Color Clusters" - this creates much cruder selections but does it more "purely"- it creates the same selections as before, and still uses the foreground colour as a starting point. Actions created in CS3 and earlier will pick up this option.

Yes, many of us are getting this impression especially with the last 2 revisions, although this particular feature isn't really one example. There is a lot of new functionality in Color Range under the hood, and the quality of the selections with "color clusters" on is hugely improved.

Select Color Range, fails v13.1.1 on Retina Display Mac

Is there a trick to getting the new Color Range selection function to work on a retina Mac Book Pro?
I am quite familiar with the color range selection in the previous version of Photoshop, and used it regularly. I've decided to try as simply as possible by using a flat image (no layers), and trying to select colors. I've increased the contrast in the image to make darks and lights much easier to pull out.
I've explored setting the sample size to point-sample up to 3x3, and 5x5. I've also set the resolution of my display to 2880 x 1800 (to reduce the possiblility of anti-aliasing problems).
It will not make any selection though, using the eye-dropper sample.
Using other options will work, such as Highlights, Shadows, Skin Tones, etc., but it won't do anything with Sampled Colors.

SO very glad I'm not the only one with this seemingly EXACT same issue.

Select > Color Range used to work perfectly before update 13.1.1
Now since the update 13.1.1 Color Range doesn't do jack properly. Selecting any color doesn't do anything. sometimes if I select a white it will act as though I've pulled out a gray.. but even one pixel difference will make it deselect. This only happens with Sampled Colors. All otehr color range preselections work as advertised. This would be great if I didn't need the precision afforded to me with Sampled Colors. This is mission critical to my daily work as a scren printing artist and have been unable to find a succesful workaround.
Is there at least a way (without having to uninstall/reinstall) to downgrade back to 13.0.x until this bug is found and fixed?

Why does this script behavior change with the phase of the moon ?

Can anyone from adobe corp or non-adobe volunteers tell me where to look in their docs to find out why this script change its behavior or how to use the debugger to figure out the same. I read the guide and the whole section on debugger and break points etc well.
try{
this.getField('Button4').strokeColor = color.red   ;
app.setTimeOut( "this.getField('Button4').strokeColor = color.green ;" , 500 );
app.setTimeOut( "this.getField('Button4').strokeColor = color.blue ;" , 1000 );
app.setTimeOut( "this.getField('Button4').strokeColor = color.red   ;" , 1500 );
app.setTimeOut( "this.getField('Button4').strokeColor = color.green ;" , 2000 );
app.setTimeOut( "this.getField('Button4').strokeColor = color.blue ;" , 2500 );
app.setTimeOut( "this.getField('Button4').strokeColor = color.red   ;" , 3000 );
app.setTimeOut( "this.getField('Button4').strokeColor = color.green ;" , 3500 );
app.setTimeOut( "this.getField('Button4').strokeColor = color.blue ;" , 4000 );
catch(e){}
Sometimes the above script cycle thru all the colors in proper order and other time it get stuck.
I have linked it to a button so its part of the button javascript.
Is there a way to craft setTimeOut calls that it becomes a reliable delay ?
How to craft it such that the file does not change and does not have to be saved ? This is wanted in addition but not the essential issue at the moment.
Thanks,
Rainbow

MAXcount=20
// Create a simple color animation on a field called “Color” that changes every second.
function DoIt() {
var f = this.getField("Button4");
var nColor = (timeout.count++ % 10 / 10);
// Various shades of red.
var aColor = new Array("RGB", nColor, 0, 0);
f.fillColor = aColor;
console.println( 'change' + ' ' + nColor + '; count=' + timeout.count );
if (timeout.count >= MAXcount)
    app.clearInterval ( timeout );
console.show();
console.clear();
console.println('Start');
// save return value as a variable
timeout = app.setInterval("DoIt()", 1000);
// Add a property to our timeout object so that DoIt() can keep a count going.
timeout.count = 0;
console.println('End of code');
// And observe the results. I expect your new timer events are conflicting with each other. Note that in the above code the change is performed within the called function and not as new line of code.
I ran it but did not follow your last comment and acrobat disk icon prompts for saving the file. Can anyone remove this "latter problem" ? Can it be solved by any means ?

Why does the color red change from working with images in develop to library? The color gets lighter and nothing shows a change on histogram but visually you can see it.

That's probably a broken display profile. The conversion from Library's Adobe RGB is different than the conversion from Develop's linear ProPhoto, so if there's a problem with the display profile it can show up this way.
Recalibrate, or if you don't have a calibrator use sRGB. If your monitor is a wide gamut model use Adobe RGB.
Assuming Windows, change it in Control Panel > Color Management > Devices, and relaunch Lightroom so that it can pick up the new profile at startup:

This is your husband's app, only your husband can update it. Apps are forever tied to the Apple ID that purchased them. No other Apple ID can update someone else's app.

In Pages I used to be able to edit a template and "save a version" to update the template. Now i have to rename the template to save the changes. Why is this happening? what happen to "save a version"? its no longer an option under "file".

In Pages, In the past, I was able to edit a template and "save a version" to update the template. Now i have to rename the template to save the changes. Why is this happening? what happen to "save a version"? its no longer an option under "file". And I can no longer open the actual template, when template is clicked, it automaticaly opens an "untitled" version???

In your description you say the first document opens as the Title you gave it.
Templates always open as Untitled so it sounds like you have saved a regular document, perhaps into your templates folder which is possible.
Since you have already worked on it and it has been previously saved, Lion will now Save for you and Save a Version is available
The other document does open as Untitled so sounds like a real template and as Peggy has pointed out will not have either Revert nor Save a Version until you Save it and have changed something in it.
This is a classic example of just how Apple's supposedly "simplification" of the process, is leading to confusion of what has happened. That the conditions and resulting actions from those conditions is so convoluted says it all.
It all reminds me of the Monty Python Life of Brian sketch with the "simplified" John Cleese instructions to the class, as to if you have a brother in an older dorm whether to hang your hat and bag on the hooks provided. The trouble is Apple does not get the joke, that it is transforming itself into a frequently self contradictory bumbling bureacracy. The price of unchallenged self appointed geniushood.
The incoherent half baked stumbling juggernaut has reached new triumphs with its edict on enforced Sandboxing on developers when it is unable to follow even its own instructions.

Correct. When you purchase devices, they would have stated the OS they needed to work, on the box. This can be overlooked, but it is very important to check when purchasing.
You current OS, is so old, that they technology build into the new devices, is not something your OS understands. It didn't exist when your OS was created, and therefore you need to upgrade the OS to work with the newer technology of these devices.

Why can't I use PayPal with Family Sharing? Have a US Visa card but foreign address, and Apple does not seem to be able to cope with that (even though it is a multinational corporation). Could we lean on Apple to change this policy?

Paypal for Family Sharing - Why can't I use PayPal with Family Sharing? Have a US Visa card but a foreign address, and Apple does not seem to be able to cope with that (even though it is a multinational corporation). So I set up payment with Paypal, and it worked fine. Now I want to take advantage of Family Sharing, but Apple won't allow it. Could we lean on Apple to change this policy?

If you are not in the US then you cannot use the US store, the store's terms say that you have to be in a country to use it - if you are using the US store then you are risking having your account disabled.

Why does the Right-click - "t" delete a bookmark on the bookmark toolbar, when Right-click - "t" opens a new tab elsewhere. The bookmark toolbar use Right-click - "w" to open in a new tab. Please change this to "t" to...

Why does the Right-click -> "t" delete a bookmark on the bookmark toolbar, when Right-click -> "t" opens a new tab elsewhere in Firefox. The bookmark toolbar use Right-click -> "w" to open in a new tab. Please change this to "t" to... I keep deleting all my bookmark because you don't make the commands consistent!

If you have accidentally removed bookmarks then use "Organize > Undo" in the bookmarks manager (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) to get them back.<br />
The Organize button is the first of the three buttons on the toolbar in the Library (Bookmarks Manager).<br />
That only works if you haven't closed Firefox.

I am using Outlook 2010. Changes made to my iPhone 4 or my iPad2 appear on each other (tasks, calendar, Contacts) but not in Outlook. Why is this?

I am using Outlook 2010. Changes made to my iPhone 4 or my iPad2 appear on each other (tasks, calendar, Contacts) but not in Outlook. Why is this?
Also, changes made in Outlook do not appear on Phone or IpAd

I'm guessing outlook doesn't support iCloud or vice versa or the settings for iCloud in Outlook are turned off. Just a guess though I don't use Microsoft products if I can help it.

Since using firefox, when I delete an email in hotmail from my Blackberry, it does not actually delete in the hotmail account, only on the device, why and how do I change this?

I can only delete the messages on my device. When I used to use explorer they would delete out of my inbox as well. Why has this stopped since I started using Firefox?

Calendars (and contacts) can "sync" between your MBP and your iPhone through iCloud because they really live on the iCloud servers and the two devices are clients. iCloud can accomplish much the same trick for email messages because the email really resides on iCloud email servers.
If the email resides on some other server, that server is responsible for whatever syncing will be done. IMAP servers like the iCloud servers are built for such syncing; other mail servers may or may not be. iCloud would not be involved with email other than iCloud email.
I understand Hotmail has been changing how their email servers are accessed. Check with Hotmail support for any changes you may need to make to keep up.

HT2470 Why does this not explain how to change the sort order?

Why does this (i.e. support at Apple.com) not explain how to change the sort order? I can "arrange" by Date Modified for example but it won't let me switch to use most recent dates first. Also, what is Apple-speak for arrange versus sort anyway? It seems I used to be able to click on a column heading in finder and get a drop down arrow allowing me to change the sort sequence.

Arrange roughly translates to "group the items in the folder." Sort is how each group is ordered. If you have arrange set to none, you can sort by anything. However, there is no way in the Arrange/Sort menu to choose the direction. The only way to do that is in the List View, and you must have Arrangement set to None.
I've submitted an Enhancement Request to allow choosing sort direction from the Arrange/Sort menu, but I haven't ever gotten a response, which is good and bad. Good because they will often respond that they have considered it and don't plan on implementing. Bad in that they've haven't implemented it.

My ipad has suddenly stopped connecting to the internet. The settings have not been changed. Why is this?

My ipad has suddenly stopped connecting to the intenet via my home wifi system. The settings have notbeen changed. why is this?

The first thing to try is to power down your modem and router for about 30 seconds, then repowering by plugging them back in.
Also, if that doesn't work, on your iPad you can try going into settings/safari/clear history/clear data and cookies.

Not knowing what steps were included in "all the troubleshooting possible with Apple people," I'll suggest you give the phone a chance to reprovision your cellular account.
First turn off Wi-Fi. Then power off your phone. Hold the Sleep/Wake button until you see the power off slider. Then slide to power off. Turn the phone back on. After the phone starts watch to see if No Serive is displayed. Hopefully after 15-30 seconds that will change to the name of your cellular service provider and finally indicate LTE or 4G as well as include some dots indicating signal strength. You can then turn Wi-Fi back on.
