Copying actions - what is it that I don't get?

So my PC mobo crashed and I needed to upgrade. The old system disk no longer boots but its there in the PC. Looked in the FAQ on how to copy Actions from old installation (Actions Palette stuff). So I moved it and it is much bigger than the default one (25K vs 20k default). Then I start Photoshop and for some reason the copied file is overwritten with something that is exactly the same size as the default one (20k) and none of my Actions are to be found?
So where did I go wrong here? Move was CS3 to CS3, old OS was XP, new OS is Vista.

Thanks for the quick replay and sorry for being too vague in the question. As the crash was a - shall we say - surprise, I had not saved the actions so from the FAQ I gathered that my only chance was to copy the "Action Palette.psp" file from somewhere below my old XP user account to the new user account (.../Adobe Photoshop CS3 Settings/). So there is no .atn file involved as I never had to chance to make one :-(.

    Yes.  This tutorial describes how to go about it: #9a - Archiving an iPhoto 7(08)/8(09)/9(11) Book for Editing and/or Ordering at a Later Date. For future books I suggest you start out with a new library and copy the needed photos to it from your current library with iPhoto Library Manager .

  • There are times that I don't get voice instructions in Maps on my iPhone

    There are times that I don't get voice instructions in Maps on my iPhone 5s. Actually, the directions don't even advance automatically as I expect. Can anyone explain why this happens? How do I correct this? It's dangerous to drive and look at the iPhone screen at the same time, much less manually advancing the the directions!

    Put the phone in Airplane mode...this turns off all iPhone radios...but, you can go back into settings & turn WiFi back on. You can then use iMessage.
    No nasty surprises if you do that.

  • HT203433 I clicked on an app that I thought was free and it isn't. How do I stop it so that I don't get charged?

    I clicked on an app that I thought was free and it isn't (I thought I was downloading Hello Hello Spanish and instead it was Hello Hello World). How do I stop if from downloading so that I don't get charged? I've highlighted it and clicked "remove" but it keeps downloading. I do not want my school charged for this app which I didn't want! Help!

    I talked to an actual person at the Apple store and he said I could get credited for the price of the unwanted App. How do I do that?

  • HT1688 Why is it that I don't get good reception in some areas

    I don't get good reception in some areas especially around my house.

    Because the signal from your carrier is marginal there. Trees, building materials, and other things can interfere with reception.

  • What has happpened to the rental videos that they don't get removed automatically any longer? Are they taking up space on my iPad??

    Why are old rental video's not being removed from my iPad once viewed? Are they taking up space on my iPad?

    I wish that I had an answer for you, but I can't think of anything else to try. What I find so odd is that it happens to all 3 of your devices. That doesn't make sense at all unless it has something to do with how iTunes handles what is happening on the iPad when you sync your devices.
    I update my iPhone 5S and my iPad 3 last night and then synced both devices with iTunes. When I plugged them into my MBP - they both showed an overcapacity it's due to "other". "Other" includes app data caches and when it grows out of proportion like that it means that something got corrupted. I synced the devices anyway, and the "other" dropped dramatically back to where it was on each device before I updated and where it should be.
    What I'm trying to say is something may be getting corrupted when you sync with iTunes...what it is I have no clue.

  • An error that I don't get

    Hi,
    Below is a member that is supposed to play an audio clip. The debugger complains about the line in the second try statement. The error messsage says: "variable clipURL might not have been initialized". What is wrong? Didn't I just initialize clipURL in the preceeding statement?
    public void Play(JPanel[] channels){
            Clip clip;
         AudioInputStream audioInputStream = null;
            java.net.URL clipURL;
            try{
                clipURL = new java.net.URL("File:C:\\Documents and Settings\\Pingen\\Desktop\\sound.wav");
            catch(Exception e){
            try{
                audioInputStream = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(clipURL);       //Here is the line I'm talking about.
            catch(Exception e){
            AudioFormat format = audioInputStream.getFormat();
            DataLine.Info info = new DataLine.Info(Clip.class, format);
            clip = (Clip) AudioSystem.getLine(info);
            clip.open(audioInputStream);
            clip.start();
        }Regards,

    The debugger complains about the line in the second try statement. The error messsage says: "variable clipURL might not have been initialized". What is wrong? Didn't I just initialize clipURL in the preceeding statement? No, because if an exception is thrown in the first try block, then control might have flowed to the catch block before clipURL has been set.
    By the way:
    1) Don't have empty catch blocks like that. At the very least, put this in:
    e.printStackTrace();If something goes wrong, you need to know about it!
    2) You haven't structured the flow of control well. What if the URL is bad and you end up with a bad or null clip URL. Do you really want to try to get the audio output stream from it? Suppose you can't get the audio output stream, do you really want to try to play the clip?
    The whole point of try/catch blocks is to help you recover from errors, but you've set it up so you don't recover, you just keep plowing forward.
    Ask yourself how you'd recover from an error at any particular step that might throw an exception. Then you could restructure accordingly. For example, if any exception leads to "just do nothing, and don't affect the calling method", then put all the code in a single try block, and have a single catch block that just prints an error message. If a bad URL means that you'd rather play a default clip, then set that default clip's URL in the first catch block.

  • I want to know WHY when I am surfing the net I am getting GARBAGE SPAM CRAP that I don't get on other browsers, ONLY Firefox??????

    I want to know WHY I am getting pop ups, spam windows and a host of other crap when I am browsing the internet? I use 2 other browsers and do NOT get the crap I get from Firefox. I am sick and tired of naked ladies and a host of other items that open a new window.

    this sounds like a problem possibly caused by malware on your pc. please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

  • How can I make sure that I don't get roaming charges when traveling with my iPhone?

    Hello everyone!
    I am going to be traveling to China next week (from Canada) and I want to bring my iPhone to listen to music, read books and use for Wifi as well.  However I don't want to use it for calls, browsing etc as I don't want to get charged roaming fees for these services.
    Is there a way that I can make sure that this does not happen?  I think that if I leave my phone on Airplane mode the whole time then I'll be fine and I can find Wifi wherever I am, but I just want to see if is this in fact correct or if there is anything else I can do instead.
    As well, if I do end up taking my phone and taking out the cellular service when I'm in China, will I still be able to use iMessage to text people back home if I really have to?
    Thanks!

    Put the phone in Airplane mode...this turns off all iPhone radios...but, you can go back into settings & turn WiFi back on. You can then use iMessage.
    No nasty surprises if you do that.

  • How do I get my new Apple ID associated with an older MacBookPro so that I don't get charged more than once for a purchased app when I download it to the older computer recently upgraded to Snow Leopard?

    I recently upgraded my 2 year old MacBookPro to Snow Leopard so I could download Face Time and Final Cut ProX to it.
    I've already purchased the apps and installed on my iMAC and Macbook Air.
    After downloading Face Time I received the following mail;
    "Your Apple ID, *************, was just used to purchase FaceTime from the App Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID.
    If you made this purchase, you can disregard this email. This email was sent as a safeguard designed to protect you against unauthorised purchases.
    If you did not make this purchase, we recommend that you go to iforgot.apple.com to change your password, then see Apple ID: Tips for protecting the security of your account for further assistance.
    Regards,
    Apple"
    I don't want to be charged twice for these apps, especially Final Cut ProX, so how can I get the MacBookPro associated with the Apple ID I'm using now?
    Cheers

    This is probably a new precaution that Apple has taken to alert folks that something has occurred with their account that has not occurred before*, namely a Mac has downloaded something from their account that has not done so before. And as the notice says, if it was you doing so, then you may safely ignore the notice. Also, do not be alarmed, Apple refers to all downloads as purchases, even when they are free.
    But if you are truly concerned about the notice then you can authorize the Mac with your iTunes account, which should be the same as your MAS account. Open iTunes on the older Mac and sign into your account. Then in the Store menu choose Authorize This Computer. Now this Mac is definitely associated with your account and can now play media that you purchase from the iTunes Store as well.
    *My banks do the same thing when I pop up making a purchase with my bank cards somewhere in the world I have never made a purchase before. They call me and email me and want to know if it is indeed me using the card.

  • What will happen if I don't get my Mac fixed?

    Hello everyone. Just recently (about four days ago) my mom accidentally spilled a cup of Kool-Aid. It went into the side of my Macbook Pro, and in the back as well. It shut off right away and wouldn't turn on at first. My mom and I dryed it off as much as possible and took the back off for it to air off. I tried turning it on afterwards, and it did. It is currently working and I haven't had any major problems with it.
    However, when I took it to the Apple Store to make sure things were fine, the guy there told me it NEEDS repaired or it will eventually die. He said it would cost me 1,200 dollars, which is pretty much how much I paid for this Mac, to get it fixed. He said the stickiness from the Kool-Aid will eventually corrode the wires, causing my Mac to die.
    Is this true? Or was he trying to get me to buy a new one?
    If it is true, how long will my Mac last?
    Thank you in advance!

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Any liquid could damage the whole MacBook Pro, and once you have spilt it, your Mac may stop working at any moment. See > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5511
    That type of repairs are quite expensive because near everything is affected except the display, and maybe the hard drive. In conclusion, what the Genius told you is true. Now you have to decide whether you want to get your Mac repaired or get a new computer.

  • My gmail doesn't default on firefox, it get 'failed' messages that I don't get on IE, why?

    I don't have many more details....I tried to email questions to a local photographer that I researched on-line. I then tried to respond to a couple of craigslist items. I was able to add a comment on my friends blog, but when I tried her 'email' button with a more personal message it failed again. I keep getting 'failed' messages, but couldn't get any details, just 'failed'. I then opened/closed both my gmail accounts. When I opened each account and worked directly from my gmail page, I was able to send messages back and forth between my two accounts. So I tried again from another craigslist item, still the same failure. Went to IE and my email went directly to the craigslist inquiry.

    Try to update Firefox to a more recent 3.5.x or 3.6.x version (Help > Check for Updates).

  • Synchronous scenario: How to be sure that messages don't get lost?

    Dear all,
    my scenario is split into two parts:
    SAP -> PI  : We received a RFC (without sending a response) and split the message into single
                      files that we saved on PI filesystem
    PI -> WS:  We send the messages to a web service.
    But because we read it from file system I am not quite sure how to handle this.  If the
    web service is not available a normal synchronous web service message is normally stopped
    and can not be restarted.  How can I be sure, that the message will not getting lost?
    The only way I could see is the support that see the erroneous message an inform the business.
    Is it possible to automate the process if the web service is not reachable?
    If the web service sends an error code, I can handle this with conditions in receiver determination,
    but technical problems will just stop the message, wouldn't it?
    Regards
    Chris

    Hi,
    Syncronous messages once failed in PI can not be restarted . To inform business you can use several options :
    1. Use Interface specific alert so that when the particular interface fails alert will be triggered and sent to respective recipients.
    2. You can also right the ABAP report which sends the emails with payload for the messages which have failed . You can also shedule this report as per your need .
