CS2 uninstall, mac desktop screen acting like photoshop image

Recently my creative suite on my mac stopped updating showing an error, so each time now when updates arrive I cannot update. Now my 20" intel macs desktop image acts like a photoshop image?
The desktop starts up and then expands beyond the screen, by nearly 2", when the cursor is moved accross the screen the desktop image moves too, it is making its way to see the unseen edge which appears as cursor moves towards that edge, (eg from centre move cursor to right screen image moves left). This is quite a sea-sick effect. Also if you click and drag on the desktop it forms a box, like the one in photoshop. Something seems corrupted. I want to uninstall the creative suite then reinstall (this should help the updates) but I do not know if the screen on my mac will correct.
I looked up how to uninstall and the first thing is to double click on the Activity Monitor in Utilities and select AHCRemind.
I double click on the Activity Monitor and the window I get up does not show AHCRemind? I cannot proceed. Can anyone help, has anyone had the same problem with the desktop?

I have managed to cure the screen moving but I still need to uninstall CS2 (creative suite 2) and reinstall. I have an intel mac 10.4 os running tiger. As I said before I cannot find the 1st step on the instruction, perhaps the instruction is pre tiger, or Leopard system? Please help.

  • HT1338 Why does my mac desktop screen have black smoke like areas at the top of the screen on both sides?

    I have had my IMAC now a little over a year and now all of a sudden there is black smoke like marks on the top of both sides of the screen. Like exactly where the fans are. Is this telling me the fans have caused the screen to do this? I see I am not the only one with this issue. What is going on with these computers? I am begining to think its an APPLE flaw. What a shame for those of us that didnt have an extended warranty plan. Apple I believe this is your issue and it needs to be fixed for everyone. So what am I to do with this now? Makes it very odd too look at and its spreading. What are the soulutions here?

    Do you smoke near your computer?
    The fans pull in outside air and whatever is lingering in it. The stuff in the air settles on the backside of the dislay glass.
    The "fix" is easy. Clean the glass.
    Buy two 4 inch suction cups from a hardware store. Unplug the iMac and rest it on its back on a carpet. Apply the suction cups and gently pull up. The glass is held in place by magnets.
    Clean the glass and allow it to dry. Hold it with the suction cups and set it back in place. Clean the rings made by the suction cups.

  • Any way to get Illustrator CS5 to display full screen mode like Photoshop?

    Is there any way to get Illustrator's screen modes to behave like Photoshop's screen modes?
    One of the things I like most about Photoshop is the way it toggles from standard screen mode to "full screen with menu bar" to just "full screen".
    For example, in Photoshop's standard mode, the window is no bigger than the size of the canvas. Why can't Illustrator do that?
    And, is there anyway to get Illustrator CS5 to display the full screen mode where the background outside the artboard or canvas is black instead of white. Working in Illustrator for long hours, it would much easier on my eyes if the surrounding background could be black like in Photoshop.
    Thanks very much in advance for any help,
    - Nick

    At the bottom of the Tool bar is a toggle button (F) which will change the Screen Mode.

  • Mac desktop screen blanks out

    I am having problem with my Mac desktop machine. It's blanking out intermittantly. I watch tv on my mac. I hear the music in the background but no picture.
    any suggestions...

    I doubt it's "screwing up" your video card. 
    Does the blanking occur only when charging the iphone?
    A thought on your setup (nothing to do with your problem)...
    If you are splitting the output from your comcast settop box, since that EyeTV250 only has S-Video and composite inputs, I presume you are using S-Video or composite out of the comcast box.  Both these are analog, not digital.  So your TV picture quality, when switched to the comcast box, will suffer compared to using the settop box's HDMI or component outputs.
    If your comcast box is anything like my AT&T Uverse box then why not directly connect the HDMI or component outputs to your TV and connect the S-Video or composite to your EyeTV?  In my case all outputs are available in parallel.  So the settop box feeds all signals to all its outputs.  You wouldn't need the switch that way and you would get better quality video when directly viewing comcast with your TV.

  • Pressing screen acts like home button

    Pressing anywhere on my screen acts as if I've pressed my home button. You do have to press down (touching the screen doesn't do it, you need to press harder).
    It constantly wakes up in my pocket and I regularly have dozens of screenshots of my lock screen in my photo gallery.
    I've done a total restore for both 6.0 and 6.1. Is my 4s dying a horrible death?

    The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
    Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup...  Restore as New...
    Try a Reset...
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
    If no joy... Try a Restore...First from Backup...
    1: Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.

  • Full browser window placeholder that acts like background image fill?

    I want to be able to set full browser window placeholder that acts like the background image fill function, but be able to then build in a multi-anchored horizontal parallax.  The effect is like we have a background image fill, but can slide horizontally between pages as if they are in a slide show.  Simultaneously, content inside the placeholder such as longer paragraphs of text can scroll down - on top of the image layer, but inside the borders of the image placeholder.  For a clear example of this, see this website: http://argonautinc.com/
    I've read and searched but to no avail.  I'm only about one week into Muse, so please forgive me if this is  super simple!   Thanks, Nico

    Hi Nico_Cineaste,
    You can achieve the design by using Fullscreen Slideshow in MUSE as object.
    Open any page in MUSE , click on the "Object" >> Slideshow >> Fullscreen.
    Click on your blank web page.
    This will give you a full screen slideshow.
    You can now design as per your requirement.
    Thanks

  • HP Deskjet 5650 and Mac OS 10.5.8 Photoshop Images not printing

    For some reason my HP 5650 does not print images anymore. It will print a page from Firefox. It pretends to print a Photoshop image or a jpeg opened in Mac's Preview app but the page is blank. I can't seem to find a link to drivers or information.

    By the way, you can leave it connected to your Airport Express by Ethernet.  The router does not care how things are connected, wired can talk to wireless and v/v.

  • Desktop acting like Disk Image?

    I am having some very strange issues with my Mac right now. Whenever I try to move something from the desktop to the trash can, I get a warning saying the item will be permenantly deleted immediately. This is before I empty the trash. I am also having some issues when I try to update Adium or 1Password or a couple other programs I get a weird error:
    Update Error!
    1Password does not have permission to write to the application's directory! Are you running off a disk image? If not, ask your system administrator for help.
    I know I have Admin rights, I have repaired disk permissions, I don't really know what to do next. I get some weird things when I do the Repair Permissions though. It says:
    ACL found but not expected "Applications/Utilities"
    ACL found but not expected "Applications"
    ACL found but not expected "Library"
    Thanks for your help.

    Just an update on what I have done:
    Did an archive and install at the recommendation of apple support and that didn't fix it.
    After that they recommended I delete the user and then restore all the settings and everything from the disk image that is created. This actually fixed the problem, but now it turns out that the permissions on all the files are screwed up. Here is a picture of what it looks like.
    http://skitch.com/adamteece/ghfc/permissions-issues
    We tried to fix them, and I fixed a lot of the permissions but you have to go through file by file to change it. We tried resetting permissions from the leopard disk, repair permissions from disk utility, but nothing seemed to work. It is usable for now, but there are still issues here and there. I hope Apple will fix it. I am not the only one having this permissions problem now, here is a thread describing it better.

  • Desktop Skype acting like Mobile

    This problem only started today, but here's the issue.
    I can call anyone in a 1 on 1 call no problem. Right when I add someone, I can no longer share my camera and I can't even call that new person. If I click on the green call button, it doesn't allow me to call them. Also, I cannot call groups myself either.
    Now, if someone adds me to a group I can join and it's all fine. However, the call itself is frozen. Even if someone leaves, their avatar and name is still displayed. I also cannot send any chat messages in groups nor can I recieve any.
    Why.

    Hi. I had the same problem, but solved in 10 min. I just removed all support files in my OS.  I have Mac OS 10.10.3. 
    Remove Skype folder at: ~/Library/Application Support
    and ~/Library/Preferences and drag com.skype.skype.plist to the trash
    after this I just reboot my Skype and Voila!

  • Screen acts like it is locked

    Calls ring though. Texts show up on the screen, reminders come through on the screen but it will not respond to a swipe to unlock it. Ideas anyone?

    Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.
    Try all of those.

  • When I enter full screen for a game or video using Firefox the whole "screen" moves to the left, leaving a white space on the right side of my monitor, but the mouse still acts like the image is where it should be, why?

    I have the latest Firefix update, and I am using Windows 7 Home Premium. It's annoying, specifically for games because I have to make sure the cursor is to the right (by a certain amount) of the item I wish to click. This issue is only in Firefox, I have tried in Internet Explorer *shudder* and there is no problem, I do not have any web browsers currently installed.
