CS 6 Image Windows Don't Stay Where I Put Them

I installed CS 6 yesterday. My system runs 64 bit Win 7. In Preferences > Interface, as I did in CS 5, I unchecked both Open Documents as Tabs and Enable Floating Document Window. However, unlike CS 5, in CS 6 images 'insist' on positioning themselves in the upper left corner of CS 6 and will cover both the options bar and the tool bar. For example, this will happen after opening an image if I try to move it or if I enlarge the image window (CTRL-0). If I open two images and try to move one so I can see both at the same time, the one I try to move will not stay where I put it but instead will reposition itself to the upper left, and cover the options bar and menu bar.
As you might image, this makes working in CS 6 difficult and inconvenient. I assume this is a bug, and wonder if there are any workarounds or other solutions. To this point, I have not yet uninstalled and re-installed CS 6. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Best regards,
David

Can we assume you hate the Auto-Hide feature even worse?
Hi,
The answer to your question is 'probably'. I like things to stay put, ideally where I want them. So far my feeling is that having the task bar on the bottom is the lesser of the two 'evils'. But your note reminds me to give auto-hide another try. Thanks.
Best,

Columns in Finder windows won't stay where I put them!

WHen I open a finder window, put in LIST VIEW, then re-size my columns - everything is good now I can do stuff. BUT WAIT! I do one thing: dragging one folder and nesting it into another and BAM! The columns re-size back to the default. This is a deal-killer for me. I cannot work like this! If there is no fix, SOrry, but goodbye apple and hello Windows.

Open window is a folder named "Photos".
It contains many sub folders: Backyard photos, front yard photos, vacation photos, etc.
It also contains a ton of image files - that I'm sorting into their respective folders.
When I drag an image file titled "Backyard sunny" into the sub-folder "Backyard photos"... the columns all snap back to their default settings. FORCING ME TO RESIZE THEM.... then I drag another photo into another folder and the same thing happens again. THIS IS A SHUTDOWN OF MY USING MAC OS. I either need to return to Mavericks, or this needs to be fixed somehow. This never happened before, and it won't happen in the future, not on my desktop. I'd hate to start asking my wife to start teaching me windows. I've been a mac person my whole computing life (since the early 1990's) and never have I run into a show-stopper like this.
My computer is NON-FUNCTIONAL if the columns won't stay where I put them!

Why icons don't stay where I put them?

I always liked to display the icons neatly in a given order on the iMac volume main page. Recently when I restart the computer the icons become messed up and on top of each other. Does anyone know why this happens?
Thanks in advance for any explanation.

Mundane problems are what we're here for.... the exotic ones are few and far between.It may have happened because of some corruption in your preferences, try running Preferential Treatment to track down any bad .plists.

SInce i installed Lion, my desktop icons are lining up like regimented Windows icons! how do i get them to stay where i put them, like they used to do? thanks! ellen

In that case, there may be a problem with your Finder preferences or window settings.
Try removing these files, then restarting:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
~/Desktop/.DS_Store
Let me know if you're not sure how to do that.

How can I stop Lion tidying my desktop and putting all my icons in alphabetical order. I like my files to stay where I put them!

How can I stop Lion tidying my desktop and putting all my icons in alphabetical order. I like my files to stay where I put them! Every morning I boot up and all my desktop items have been moved. How can I stop this?
By the way - Lion is the worst 'upgrade' ever.

Hello again:
I've been to 'view' - and all I can see are the same options as before. Nothing which says the equivalent of 'stop Lion tidying my desktop alphabetically every time I boot up' - alas.
Hmmm. Try something:
Trash a preference file (com.apple.finder.plist) and restart. Then go to the view option while in Finder. There should be a "show view options." Select that and sort by "none."
FWIW, I have had no discernable change in speed under OS X 10.7, but that is just my system. I only use Adobe's free stuff. Have you checked with Adobe to see if there are updates available? I rarely use text edit so I have no benchmark. I don't like the missing save as either

P.S. I am not being contrary - I just like to learn from the experiences of others.

Why icons don't saty where I put them

I always liked to display the icons neatly in a given order on the iMac HD main window. Recently when I restart the computer the icons become messed up and on top of each other. At the beginning it was just a nuisance but now it has become an obsession. The iMac forum gave me a lot of suggestions: trashing the preferences, repairing permissions, and reinstalling the OS 10.4.2 which I haven't done since it seems such a drastic solution. Nothing worked. Does anyone know why this happens or know of a trick to take care of it?
Thanks in advance for any explanation.

I tried a setting in that View menu list: Snap to grid which allowed me to move icons to different positions on the desktop. After arranging the Icon I went to apple Menu and opened force quit, highlighted the Finder and clicked the relaunch button. After relaunching all my icons scattered all over the desktop. I noticed that Arrange by Name becomes grayed when I select Snap to Grid. If you have have selected: Arrange by Name this would not apply. I suggest that you go to the Preferences in Library > User; your name, > Preferences find the .plist > com.apple.desktop.plist > drag it to your desktop, the Finder will build a new one. You should restart your Mac after removing the .plist. This is a normal procedure to use when an application behaves strangely the application makes a new .plist.

HT1711 My computer caught virus, My songs are listed in my library, but the music files are gone! I have them on my separate hard drive but don't know where to put them back on my computer so itunes recognizes them. Help !

My computer caught a virus. My entire drive was wiped clean, however, I had recently done a backup to a portable hard drive. When I got my computer back from the tech, and logged into my itunes, my library shows all my songs, but NONE of them have a music file associated with it - therefore I cannot play it. I have located the music files on my external hard drive, confirmed they play, but don't know how to go about getting them from my hard drive to my computer. Can someone please help me?????

In iTunes, go to File > Add to Library and select the files/folders you would like to add.
You can also choose to consolidate library after that to move them off the external.

My videos dont stay where i put them

When i put a video on my page it moves to the bottom of the page after publishing

Use the camera button in the reply toolbar to add a screenshot.
I tried you site with Firefox 7.0.1 and the movie page was the same as in Safari. The problem must be at your end. Delete the Firefox preference file and try your site again.

Clips won't stay where I put them!

I am building an informational video with some animated sequences and I am recording my voice over the video. At times, I want to edit/replace clips that occur early in the timeline with new clips without disturbing the positions of clips to the right on the timeline. As I begin to add, remove or change earlier clips, all the other clips to the right will shift back and forth becoming unsynced with the audio and ruin a lot of hard work.

Hi HB
Yes thats the way it works. If You exchange a clip You have to replace it with
one with exactly the same no: of min.sec.frames or everything goes bananas.
If You need to work in that order You probably should take a look at FinalCut
Express or Pro - and consider the cost.
In FCE/P You can place video and sound to a specific time place in Your project.
In iMovie this is really hard and disipline demanding.
Locking video to time isn't something existing in iMovie yet - may be never.

I changed my iPhone lately but i can't restore my last backup since it keeps saying "itunes could not restore backup because the password was incorrect" but I don't know where to put the password to make it happen... Any suggestions?

Hey guys,
I just bought a new iPhone but i can't restore my backup files beacuse it keeps saying "itunes could not restore backup because the password was incorrect" but I really don't know where to put the password to restore it. I really have some files that are meaningful for me so I really need help. Any suggestions anyone?

Select your iDevice in the iTunes.
Choose the Summary screen (tab) and scroll to the bottom of the screen.
Then un-select Encrypt iPhone backup.
iTunes will then prompt you to “Enter the password to unlock your iPhone backup”, enter the password you set originally.

My iphone has been water damaged and in the mean time ive gone back to using my old phone. But i need to get all the contacts from my iphone i had synced to my laptop, but i don't know where to find them and im not sure if ive backed them up to anything!

If your contacts are synced to your computer then they are in the supported app you are syncing with.
When you set up syncing of contacts on your device, which application did you select?

Saving window don't stay opened

Since I updated all the drivers on my laptop, the saving window where I am supposed to choose the format (jpg, gif, etc.) of copies of my file don't stay opened long enough for me to save in another format than PS. How to fix it?

The OS save dialog (the one you can't keep open) should only close when you hit the save button, or press enter or return to commit the save).
My guess is that something on your OS is interferring with the OS save dialog.

Serious problems in Illustrator CC with OSX Mavericks: Open, Place and Save windows don't stay open

I just upgraded to OSX Mavericks. After that, Illustrator started acting up. When I try to save or open a file, or place an image, the command window opens just for a second or two then closes right away. Even the Save shortcut doesn't work. I've saved the file a few times using Command-S, when I was closing it I got a warning that I had to save it. Of course, I couldn't save it using Save As or Save commands because their windows wouldn't stay open, so I had to just close it. When I opened it again, it was an older version; Illustrator just ignored my last two or three saves.
I tried restarting the computer and relaunching Illustrator, nothing worked. The problem was worse when I have InDesign open too. But just quitting InDesign didn’t always work. This morning, I had to quit and relaunch both InDesign and Illustrator a few times before the problem temporarily disappeared.
I think it might also be worth mentioning that I use Apple Trackpad, and my computer is brand new.
Is anyone else having similar problems? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks. But I always have the List View.
One lame thing worked though. I would hit the command short cut and keep hitting it for a few times. This forces the command window to stay open, and it actually helps getting ridding of the problem temporarily.
I also had a similar but nastier problem in Acrobat. I tried to save a Photoshop PDF file in Acrobat, the Save As window opened and closed right away. Then all the command menus went gray; non of the commands was available including Quit. The only option I had was to force quit Acrobat. However, I didn't have this problem when handling native Acrobat files. The good news is that my lame solution worked.

Flash file zooms but buttons don't stay where they should

I've attached the example files I'm working with. I have a zooming component that zooms in my flash file by loading it with an .xml file, but the buttons don't stay over the buttons once it gets loaded into the component. The buttons move off into space.
Do you see what the issue is?

I think what is happening is that the whole file is scaling which is somehow messing up the positioning of the buttons.
Here's what I've done so far:
- create a movie clip of .swf file toolip and center it.
- the zoom_test.swf loads in the 2008_19.swf file to be zoomed and panned via the data.xml file
Since I created a movieclip of the .swf file tooltip, when you open up 2008_19.swf, the tooltip does not rollover the button anymore,
it is a little further away from the button.
I'm not sure what you mean by scaling the parent, because with this functionality, the whole file, 2008_19 is being scaled.

Desktop icons disappear. won't stay where i drop them, and disappear if i try to put them in a folder.

Recently noticed several icons on my desktop had disappeared.... found them in applications and documents folder, but they should be living on my desktop and I didn't move them. This keeps happening... I wake up my computer, quite randomly it seems, a file will have disappeared.
At the same time I noticed several files on my desktop had moved themselves all the way to the top of the screen, just the very bottom lip of the file names were visible. Clean Up had no effect on these files.
On top of that, no icon will stay where I drop it. I can pick up and drag the icon, but as soon as I drop it, it flies to some random spot on the screen.
Finally, i can move a desktop file inside any folder. if I try it the file just disappears.
I'm assuming all these problems are related and I'm hoping someone has a suggestion of what I can do to correct it. thanks.

Click on the desktop and check Finder > View > Show view options.
Sort by.. snap to grid will have the files flying around..
Disappearing files in folders no idea except I have always been advised not too have too many items in the desktop folder.. (The desktop is actually a folder, see finder)
