Contrast adjustment creates color cast - why and how to fix?

I used a local curves adjustment (with a layer mask) set to "Strong contrast" to make the space shuttle "pop" in a particular shot. I looked it so much I copied that adjustment layer to the rest of the launch sequence. I then realized that as I went earlier in the sequence (20 seconds in real time at most) each successive photo developed a blue color cast from the contrast adjustment. I tried a luminosity blend hoping that would take the color out but no change.
Ideas as to why? And best way to correct?
PS: It's a tiff file that was sent from lightroom with the proper white balance.
Thanks!
Roscoe

Could you post lores or sections of the image where the adjustment worked and one where it resulted in the cast?
If switching the Adjustment Layer’s Blend Mode to Luminosity does not work (which seems a bit peculiar) the you could possibly work against that with a Hue/Adjustments Layer (in a Group with the Layer Mask applied to that instead of the Curves Layer or clipping masked to the Curves Layer after turning off »Blend Clipped Layers as Group« for it).

Your Windows friend should ask in a Windows forum why his email client won't open attached jpg files. We have no idea what email client he is using or how his Windows security is configured.

Itunes crashes when iTunes Match runs its Step 3 (not before) - any ideas why and how to fix it?

Every time iTunes runs the iTunes Match, when iTunes MAtch gets to Step 3 - iTunes stops working - ie crashes. Any idea why and how to fix it? The songs are still uploaded to iCloud etc... but it crashe iTunes every single time

I cannot explain the failure, but I can tell you that I have a string of approx. 24 emails with Apple and a combined 10hrs of talk time with Apple customer reps that tried helping me precisely for the issue that iTunes Match would crash at Step 3 without fail. Apple even logged my Console and I was talking to an engineer that literally wrote part of the code for iTunes Match (that was the fourth and last level of customer care I was escalated to). The poor man almost quite his job, and I just about demanded a refund for my $25, since iTunes Match simply wasn't working.
Then I studied at a friend's place, and I noticed that all of a sudden, while iTunes was running in the background, half my library was already uploaded and things were progressing smoothly. It turns out that it had something to do with my modem specifically, as I had already hooked up my computer straight to the modem, taking the router (TimeCapsule) out of the equation. Nothing worked. Firewalls were turned off, no AntiVirus existed, and Apple engineers tried everything possible, incl. remote access on my computer, to get this to work. Nothing worked as long as I was connected to a Motorola Surboard.
At every other network, wether at Starbucks, my university, or at friends places, however, iTunes Match worked flawlessly.
After some research online, it turnes out that a handful of people with Motorola Surrboard Xtreme cable modems had similar issues. Eversince, I simply use my neighbors wifi should I need to upload songs, and I have no issues. Oddly enough, matching (not uploading) works just fine with my Motorola.
Don't ask me how or why, I am interested in computers and work with them a lot, but I am no engineer. I can tell you that simple scientific method pinpointed to the modem, and I haven't had issues since then.

Files/folders created in Windows share are read-only... why and how to fix?

Client: MacBook Pro running 10.7.5
Server: Windows 7 desktop
I'm sharing a folder from the Windows 7 machine and mounting it on my Mac using Finder's "Connect to Server..." and an smb:// URI. I'm providing a user ID/password for an account on the Windows 7 box that has full control over the shared folder, via smb://userid:password@server/share.
The volume mounts properly on my desktop, can I can see files/folders there as expected. However:
If I create a folder, it's read-only. I cannot create any files inside (or even see inside), rename the folder, or delete the folder. The folder has a badge: red circle with bar.
If I create a file, it's read-only. I cannot rename it, delete it or edit it.
If I examine File Info via Finder on any of these files or folders, under Sharing & Permissions it says "You have custom access."
If I try to delete these files/folders, I get error code -8072. I can delete them from the command-line, but I can't otherwise manipulate them.
I've verified on the Windows box that the user ID I'm using has full control of the folder. I've also set it so Everyone has full control, with no difference.
This seems to have been a recent change in behaviour (a few weeks ago I was copying data to this drive, no problem), and it's driving me crazy because I can't figure out how to fix it.

L145:
It is always good counsel to Repair Disk Permissions (from the internal HDD) before and after any new installation.
To change permissions in our Applications Folder:
Select Applications Folder.
Get Info (Command + i)
Go down to Ownership & Permissions
Click on arrow next to Details to expand.
Click on lock and authenticate
Owner is system
Group is admin
Change all permissions to Read & Write except Others
Other can Read only.
Please do not hesitate to post back should you have any further questions or comments.
Good luck.

Some playlists won't sync, why and how to fix?

So far I have found 5 playlists on my iTunes library that won't sync to my iPod. I have no issue with my previous iPod or my iPhone with those playlists but only with my late 2009 issue iPod classic (160GB).
Anyone know why or how to correct this issue?

More Information:
The the difference in the Smart Playlists that appear in the iTunes left-side folder panel but not in the Devices/iPod/Music tab panel and those that appear in both is that they all contain the Match All rule term: "Playlist is ".
I need that rule because I load only a subset (about 9,000 songs) of the songs on iTunes onto my iPod Classic. I use a Non-Smart Playlist ("My iPod List") to enumerate those songs. Thus the various Smart Playlists need to be conditioned on that ("My iPod List") Playlist subset so that they do not load other songs from iTunes. This used to work just fine. One of the upgrade revisions to iTunes (9?) or the iPod broke it. Smart Playlist Rules that reference other Smart Playlist still work correctly.
Can this bug be fixed?

My IP just turn off very often( sometime twice a day), tried to restorut no help. Anybody knows why and how to fix?, my IP just turn off very often( sometime twice a day), tried to restorut no help. Anybody knows why and how to fix?

my new IP 4s just makes me crazy, it turns off very often and in order to get it back in to life i need to hold down both home and sleep buttons for a while. Beside, some times it get very hot and battery drained like mad.
i wonder if there is any brolem with hardware or just simpy software isues, since i've tried to restore it but with no help!

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!
