Color selection won't work under Yosemite

Since I upgraded to Yosemite on my MacPro CS6 color selector fails to work. It either says "no pixels were selected" or selects the wrong color or even, sometimes (non-repeatable) the inverse. I have tried every setting I can find but no change in behavior. Rebooted the machine. Nothing. Magic wand works fine. What is wrong?

Hello,
Go to the Setup room, then go to the User Prefs tab. Make sure that "update UI during Playback" "Update Primary Display" and "Update Secondary Display" are all checked on. This should fix your issue.

HT201237 Final Cut Pro X 10.0.8 not working under Yosemite

I have Final Cut Pro X 10.0.8 and it stopped working under Yosemite. Are there any fixes or work arounds? Oddly enough, my copy of Final Cut Express 4.01 still works!
MacBook Pro 13" (Late 2011)
12 GB RAM
180 GB Intel 530 SSD

I'm not seeing Final Cut in my purchases on this device ...
However ...
I did change my Apple ID a few times since 2012 (I kept forgetting it and also wanted to consolidate with my other Apple devices ... )
I actually have Final Cut 10.0.8 installed on two computers. I updated Final Cut on the laptop last year to 10.1 .... but KEPT the old FCP version on the desktop because I liked it.
However, since I updated to Yosemite on the desktop last week, Final Cut 10.8 will not open --- and I don't have an "update option" in the App store.
Will this happen on my laptop if I update to Yosemite? That device is running Mountain Lion, I think. But I would hate to also lose Final Cut 10.1 ... it's all I seem to have left.
Do I have to purchase Final Cut again for both computers? Thanks very much for your help, it is very appreciated!

Does Adobe have a version of LicenseRecover that will run on Yosemite?   I currently have LicenseRecover 11.6.1 but it won't work on Yosemite. Thanks, Dean

Hi Jeff,
On my main hard drive I have been trying to reinstall CS4 but the process just stalls out with no error message. On my second hard drive when I click on any CS4 application, I get a message that "licensing for this product has expired" or something close to that. My second hard drive doesn't have any OS (Long story) but Apple is sending me an older OS that might run the License repair program. I was thinking the license repair program might fix why the reinstallation isn't working on my main (Yosemite) hard drive, but that's just a wild guess. I have always had problems with the CS4 Production Premium but Adobe has, through hours on the phone, figured out how to get me going again. With luck, maybe the older OS that apple is sending me will be able to run the license repair program on my second hard drive and I'll be able to use cs4 off that drive. Thanks for your reply. I don't know if anything I've written is helpful to you. If you are an Adobe tech a phone call might be nice.   Dean

Color printing won't work

This is truly vexing. First time I have encountered anything like it. Any help would be much appreciated.
When using Acrobat X with an Epson LP-S4500 printer, the color printing won't work. It works with Acrobat Reader on another computer. I didn't think to test printing with another program on my computer. It's worked fine when I tested one page as a PDF print. It's been so long I'm not sure if the print black and white or grey-scale option is usually available but I can't image why it wouldn't be. There is no such option in my printing panel. I went into advanced settings and changed it from the default grey scale (again, have no idea why that is the default) to Adobe RGB and even though the preview shows color, the print itself still comes out in grey-scale.

Es handelt sich hier um einen Canon iR C3080.
Betriebssystem Client: XP
Betriebssystem Server: Windows 2003 R2
Die Einstellungen standardmässig auf Farbe: Auto, ich habe Sie noch auf Farbig eingestellt, das er explizit jedes Mal in Farbe druckt.

External back up won't work on Yosemite Macbook Pro

I downloaded OS X Yosemite a couple of days ago, works well. I went to back up my Macbook Pro on the external hard drive I have always used and it won't work, it just keeps saying preparing back up. It is a WD My Passport hard drive. I tried removing the hard drive and selecting it to use a a back up but still wouldn't work. It has worked fine every time before downloading Yosemite. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I know that no one has replied yet, but figured out the issue. I called Applecare and they couldn't figure it out, so sent me to a genuis at the Apple store. They too couldn't figure it out and told me that it was a firmware issue with the Toshiba dvd external drive. When I got home, I thought I would try one more thing. I hooked it up to a powered hub and it works perfectly. I'm not sure why no one else thought of it, but glad that I did.

How do I know if my apps will work under Yosemite?

Hey guys, I'm running Yosemite right now on a mid-2011 Mac Mini that was originally running Lion. I then installed Mavericks on top of Lion(I didn't try Mountain Lion) and then I installed Yosemite on top of Mavericks. I'm planning on erasing the 500GB HDD and installing a fresh copy of Yosemite and then restore my apps and system preferences via an external Time Machine USB HDD I've been using for 2 years.
I'm having a spinning beachball issue that renders my Mac Mini unusable for a few minutes at a time and this is why I want to do a clean install of OSX.
So far my apps have been running great under Yosemite, BUT I'm worried that my apps are running great ONLY because I was running Lion and Mavericks before so the apps I'm running now are only working because the apps were installed onto the Lion and Mavericks 'layers'??? I haven't needed to re-install any apps since installing Yosemite.
How can I check that my apps will run under Yosemite?
Please help!

From what he said here: "Because, after you run the Upgrade, it is running Yosemite and not Lion or Mavericks."
How does that translate into this
So whatever apps I'm running at the moment on Yosemite will definitely work when I wipe the Mac's HDD?
You need to slow down and read what is being written

IWork '09 won't update under Yosemite

I just updated my Mac Pro from Mountain Lion to Yosemite. I expected to see the new, Yosemite versions of Pages, Keynote and Numbers appear in the Mac App store under Yosemite, but instead, I see an "Open" button, not a "Download" button, and when I press it, the old, iWork '09 versions open. Similarly, when I search for "Pages" in the "Featured" page, I get an "Open" button, not a "Download" or even a "Buy" button.
How can I get the new versions?

Welcome to Apple Discussions Craig
Glad to see you searched & tried most of the things I've suggested to others. I have only seen a couple of users (you being one of them) for whom updating didn't fix the problem. Most of the people complained of having problems opening or saving Office files.
Have you tried opening the apps in another user account? This could narrow down the issue to your user account or a system-wide problem. If they do work in another user account, go to HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences & delete the com.apple.iwork.pages.plist & then try starting Pages again. Repeat with the Numbers & Keynote plists.
System-wide issues could be a corrupt or duplicate font. Use Font Book to validate fonts & check for duplicates. Corrupt caches can also be a problem. You can restart in Safe Mode (hold down the shift key until you see the gray Apple screen) & then restart normally. This will clear a number of caches. Using a utility like OnyX (unfortunately not yet for Snow Leopard) to clean caches, logs, etc. can help.

Peripherals won't work with Yosemite

I switched to Yosemite in autumn 2014 and it worked. Since I moved house and reassembled my Mac Pro and all its peripherals I've had problems. Both of my Apple USB keyboards now won't work. They each have the same problem - when plugged in they show the cap locks green light but nothing else. My Logitech wireless mouse no longer works, yet the Mighty Mouse does. Most frustratingly, my WD Passport external hard drive with my Time Machine on it, is no longer recognised. I have searched the Internet and there seem to be literally hundreds of people who are suffering a variety of frustrations from Yosemite. I've tried a few of the 'solutions' based on the 'turn it off and turn it back on again' theme, all to no avail. Having bought Macs since the early 1990s, I've always championed their simplicity and reliability. My patience is being sorely tested by Yosemite. A cheap PC with the new Windows operating system is beginning to look like an attractive alternative, especially now that Yosemite is looking like Apple's version of "Vista".
Any helpful ideas would be very welcome.

Application worked under Adminstrator account but won't work under standard

I wanted to setup the Toontown Launcher application for my son under his "standard user" account. But the application only works when I log in as an administrator, it won't work when my son log in as a standard user. It said "Cannot run application from this location. Copy app to desktop." I tried to copy it to desktop but it still won't work with same error message. FYI, I did not turn on Parent Control for the standard user account. Anybody knows why? I'm new to Mac and am pulling my hair out trying to fix this!!! Thanks for reading.

Most apps for a Mac are just drag & drop, although some require installers. Those that do usually have uninstallers. I've never used a 3rd-party uninstaller in 25 years of using Macs, so can't comment on them. However, since you're new to the Mac world, pause a moment and get up to speed before going down the road any further. See these:

Printer won't work with Yosemite

Bug: Holding slider in Photoshop CS3 color selection dialog causes issues under Windows 7

I was using the color selection dialog this morning and discovered that clicking and holding the vertical slider or the little arrows for about three or four seconds causes Windows 7 to declare Photoshop CS3 as being unresponsive. The whole Photoshop UI starts freaking out at that point: The color selection dialog "vanishes" and black bars start appearing all across the application. Minimizing and then showing the application restores it to its previous state.

You're welcome. Glad to hear the driver update corrected the issue for you.

I'm slightly envious of your 5670. But only slightly.
I just got it, having previously used a 4670. The 5670 is not hugely fast in the benchmarks, probably not much faster than yours, but it animates everything in Photoshop perfectly smoothly (Photoshop is far less demanding than most games). I am most fond of the fact that the 5670 draws so little power it doesn't need an extra power connection over and above what it gets from the PCIe buss, and so it runs cool and quiet.

Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920 Won't Work Under One User Account in Windows Vista 32-bit

My Logitech HD Webcam C920 seems to work fine online on Flash Player under all user accounts except one. How do I fix this without having to delete that user account?

Thing is (and this is just basic troubleshooting principles):
If it works (under any account at all), - it ISN'T the camera, or it wouldn't work at all. Likewise, if it DIDN'T work under any account, it COULD be the camera.
If it works (under any account at all), - it ISN'T flash player, or it wouldn't work at all. Likewise, if it DIDN'T work under any account, it COULD be Flash Player.
So the problem HAS to be specific to this one account, and some setting(s) for the account, since the plug-in and hardware have already been proven to be working.
Unless you can pinpoint what setting for this one accoiunt is preventing it from working, you'll most likely have to create a new account to use it.

Executable jar won't work under some directories

I don't know how this works under windows:
The executable jar file I have created will work in some directory locations but not others.
I had moved it to some folder and it stopped working. I moved it back to where it was before and
it worked. What I discovered was that it would work in folders that had no spaces in their names.
For example it would wouldn't work under 'My Documents'. Is this common?

I wouldn't say "common" but it does happen. There are known bugs in the java.io.File object when it tries to deal with filenames containing spaces. (I just ran into one of them myself last week.)
You may be able to fix your code to deal with whatever problem you are having. It's embarrassing to have to distribute an application saying "Don't put this in a directory with a space in its name" but I've installed software from a large company (one whose name is three initials) with just that statement in the installation instructions.

Datecombo won't work under JRE1.5.0_06

Hi,
I am working on converting Java code from JRE 1.4.2 to 1.5.0_06.
Our application works fine under JRE1.4.2, but not JRE1.5.0_06.
I am having a problem to load an applet with DateComboBox widget. It is working under eclipse with JRE1.5.0_05. Once it is loaded to IE 6.0 Browser, the Mouse events are disable inside browser.
I have checked setups for Java security and setups for Java under Browser. It looks fine. Also, the same code works fine for JRE1.4.2.
Thanks for your help,
Shaw
