CS3 Auto-Hiding & Can't Show

I've been having a problem with InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Dreamweaver automatically hiding themselves (switching between programs or Finder), and then they won't re-show (via Command-Tab or the Finder dock).
I always have to Force Quit the problem application to get back to work.
All updates are installed.
It would be very odd that all four applications' preferences are bad, so I don't see that as a solution.
Anyone else having this problem?

Hi Bob,
I've read some of the InDesign-specific/Leopard threads. I can live with the currently open document not hiding when the rest of InDesign hides. I have not read/seen others.
I'm talking about the whole program hiding, on its own (no input from me). Then nothing will work, other than Force Quit. Even quitting, or accessing the open files from the dock doesn't work.
Thanks!

  • Stop Bridge CS3 Auto Processing my files....

    Apologies if this question goes over some old ground....I've had a good look around regarding the problems people are facing with Bridge's auto processing feature, but I haven't yet found an outright answer. So I will pose the question in my own way, and I believe it's a very simple one....
    When reviewing a folder of RAW files, how do I stop Bridge from applying auto corrections and just show me each image as it came out of the camera?
    Apart from the fact that Bridge's interpretation of the "correct" exposure and colour balance etc is often just plain wrong or at least not what I want, here's my real issue.
    I use Bridge to do my initial editing of my images. So I will have a folder of around 1000 RAW files which I scroll through using the arrow keys in "filmstrip" view, applying a label to images I want to keep. This should be a fairly quick process...I'll know within a fraction of a second of seeing an image whether I want to keep it or not....but for each image I currently have to wait for a second or two while Bridge applies it's adjustments and renders the preview image in the top half of the screen, going from a pixelated/blurry image to a sharp "corrected" one. I would prefer to instantly see just a larger uncorrected version of the thumbnail so I can make my evaluation and move on. Working with the number of images I do, even that pause of a second or so adds up to a lot of time added to the job as a whole.
    It's infuriating and you would think it would be a simple issue to deal with, but I've yet to find a conclusive answer to it.
    I would be incredibly grateful to anyone who can help me put this issue to bed.
    Many thanks

    curt,
    I understand RAW quite well. I think perhaps I haven't been clear enough about my objection to the default method Bridge employs in displaying RAW images and in opening them in Camera.
    Before trying Don's tip, I never got to see anything like the image I actually had shot. Bridge would boost the brightness and/or exposure very drastically. Now that I'm seeing the embedded thumbnails for the first time, I'm amazed at the delicate, nuanced gradients of tone in my sunset shots -- all of which I wasn't getting to see until now.
    The thumbnails might be jpgs, but they represent the corresponding RAW images and do so far more faithfully, IMO, than Bridge has done for me up to now. Remember, even in RAW, the operator has to set in-camera many of the same values as must be set for jpgs: contrast, saturation, sharpening, and of course shutter diameter and speed. RAW might have far more latitude in altering these values in post-processing but they still must be set initially so that the computer will have initial values to start with.
    Now that I can see the embedded previews prior to Bridge mucking them up, I can see that I shouldn't have to spend as much time in PhotoShop as I do. Apparently a good bit of my editing time, I see now, has been used by trying to undo the harm that Bridge does when it changes the levels of my pix without having been asked.
    Your suggestion about finding a good set of levels and applying them across the board seems to me to be equivalent to suggesting that I find an f-stop and shutter speed I really like and using those values for every shot I take. Variations in each scene require more individuated treatment than that. Even within a single shoot, I usually cannot synchronize my Camera RAW settings across more than a half-dozen or so photos before needing to adjust for changing light levels from shot to shot.
    But it's clear to me that the initial values i've been shooting with are far closer to what my eyes have seen, and make a better starting point in PS than the product that was being produced by Bridge when it was making unwelcome changes to my photos. I feel like I've been trying to edit for the past couple years with a blindfold on and have just had the blindfold removed for the first time!

  • How to lock bottom control bar from auto-hiding in full screen mode

    I am using Flash Player with ie in Win7. It is very irritating while watching YouTube videos for the status/control lbar to keep auto-hiding. When the bar auto-hides, the pause/play position becomes the progress bar position - and a click where Pause used to be resets the video to start. How can I keep the bottom control bar from auto-hiding in full screen mode?
    Thank you, Steve  [email: [email protected]]

    There's nothing you can do to Flash Player, itself, to prevent this from happening.  Apparently, there's no way to disable via youtube, or google, either  -- http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/youtube/_E5yFvNJCPk
    You SHOULD be able to call up the bar by hovering the cursor at the bottom of the screen and then, after a a second or two,  click on the pause button.    (It shouldn't restart the video in other words.)  But, if for whatever reason,  this doesn't work,   just click once in the center of the screen to pause the video.   To restart,  click the center of the screen again.

  • Identify program that prevent Taskbar's auto-hiding

    Hello,
    Normally the taskbar of windows can be set as auto-hiding.
    However, occasionally some program can prevent this auto-hiding
    from working. Examples are that when a download is finished in IE it gives a notification bar at the bottom, and when the IE windows is not in the front, the icon will be darkened somehow in blue shade in the taskbar, which also prevent taskbar’s auto-hiding.
    Until one handles that notification by clicking it, the taskbar will continue to be displayed.
    When multiple programs are open, sometimes when this happen it is
    difficult to know which prevents the auto-hiding to taskbar, particularly when the program does not display the icon as highlighted. In these situations is there other ways to prevent such? Can it be done programmatically like with
    Powershell?
    Bob

    Hi,
    I doubt there is no such PowerShell command to do this job. In addition, I made a test in our testing enviroment, there is no such problem as your description. After IE finished download files, its notification won't prevent TaskBar auto hid.
    For your situation, please check if it is other app that was running prevent TaskBar auto hid.

  • Enable Auto Hiding of Folio Scrollbars

    Hi there,
    I’ve just read on several websites that there’s a way to hide the scrollbars that by default cover 6 pixels of the folio on the right site of the screen, but I couldn’t find where and how to select this option. Apparently it is called “Enable Auto Hiding of Folio Scrollbars”.
    I’m a bit confused that I read so often that it is possible but never how you can do it. Did I get something wrong?
    (I work with DPS/InDesign CC on a 2009 iMac running the latest version of OS X Mountain Lion and want to make an iPad app.)

    You select that option in DPS App Builder when you create the app. It's in the Advanced Options section on the App Details page.

  • Can you show slideshow within Lightroom 4.4 in Adobe RGB color space?

    Can you show slideshow within Lightroom 4.4 (not export out from LR) in Adobe RGB color space provided that you are using a wide gamut monitor which is capable and hardware calibrated & profiled to show such color space?
    If this is possible, what is required to do so in Windows 8 and i7-4770 & HD Graphics 4600 platform or does LR take care of it automatically?
    This is very basic question, however, I could not find a clear answer/info from LR documentation, so wish that someone can advice.

    Those settings are probably stored in a plist somewhere in ~/Library/Preferences. If you can locate the appropriate file, you should be able to copy it to all the network user folders.

  • How can we show data in rows when it is in Columns........

    I have strucked with a simple but a complex problem.
    I have a Report with data in vertical rows..need of the hour is how can we show that data into column structure.
    here is the table sample which i have in Database..
    Location      chrg_type    Effective_date
    xxxxxxx        xxxx          xx-xx
    thhis is the structure in effective date we have several months in it in a single column i want show the effective date or effective month in various columns instead of a single column.
    my required table is....
                                Effective_date     Effective_date
    Location      chrg_type     xx-xx              xx-xx
    xxxxxxx        xxxx          xx-xx
    any tough heads?????

    Hi Sunil,
    Your 1st problem is that you are going to need one more field to accomplish you goal. What type of data do want under your new date columns?
    Anyway, once you have that you need to move on to how to move the data out into columns based on date.
    Try something like this.
    0_Date = IF DATEPART('m',{tbl.Effective_date}) = DATEPART('m',CurrentDate) AND
    DATEPART('yyyy',{tbl.Effective_date}) = DATEPART('yyyy',CurrentDate)
    THEN {tbl.DataField}
    1_Date = IF DATEPART('m',{tbl.Effective_date}) = DATEPART('m',DATEADD('m', -1, CurrentDate)) AND
    DATEPART('yyyy',{tbl.Effective_date}) = DATEPART('yyyy',DATEADD('m', -1, CurrentDate))
    THEN {tbl.DataField}
    2_Date = IF DATEPART('m',{tbl.Effective_date}) = DATEPART('m',DATEADD('m', -2, CurrentDate)) AND
    DATEPART('yyyy',{tbl.Effective_date}) = DATEPART('yyyy',DATEADD('m', -2, CurrentDate))
    THEN {tbl.DataField}
    ... Repeat this process until you have all of the columns you need, following this format.
    Hope this works for you,

    You can display the contents of the DB table inputted using ALV.
    Pass the Structure name as the DB table name inputted.
    Use CL_ALV_TABLE_CREATE=>CREATE_DYNAMIC_TABLE to create the dynamic table of the same structure as the DB table passed.
    Once the above steps are done, the internal table with data can be displayed using ALV.

  • How can I show album art in the mini player when playing songs from a plugged in iPhone?

    How can I show album art in the mini player when playing songs from a plugged in iPhone?
    When I play from my phone and switch to the mini player it's always showing the music notes in the thumbnaill. It'd be nice if it could get album art off of the phone.
    I'm on iTunes version 11.0.4.4

    He @mracole,
    it is very nice that you post a solution to complete the library with artwork for album's that do not have an artwork. Your solution perfectly addresses the problem for assigning artwork, BUT this thread is about CHANGING artwork for albums already uploaded into iTunes Match. Just try to replace for example a blue artwork cover for an album with a red one. If you made it in a simple way (without deleting the album from iTunes Match and local changes on the files with an external ID3-Application or 2 or more iTunes libraries on different Mac's) this is the right place to give a solution. I really tried for hours to change the artwork to make them visible in landscape cover flow mode on my iPhone5. In rare cases I made it, but then the covers sometimes where restored to the old onces - exacly how it is mentioned by Starhawk
    As long as there is no simple way to change the cover of an iTunes Match stored album (you can change title, artist and so on without hitting "update iTunes Match" over all distributed Library on different devices - this date will be synchronized almost instantly) I considered the behaviour from iTunes as BUGGY! For me the local artwork cache (and if there is any iCloud artwork cache - I don't know) do not interfere with iCloud. Even when I delete the whole local cache (album artwork music - everything) I do not manage to change the artwork.

  • Can I show a data label for only one point in a series?

    Forgive a newbie question from an Excel convert, but can I show a value label for only one point in a data series? If yes, how?
    There are a number of graphs where I only want to value of either an extreme value or the ending value to show. Having all the labels in a series makes the chart too busy. This is pretty easy to do in Excel.
    If this can't be done, I guess that adding a text box over those points would work.
    Thanks

    Sure. Here's and example labeling only the MIN and MAX points.
    Column B contains the data charted with the blue line.
    Column C extracts the MIN and MAX values using the formula below. Those two values are charted as a separate series, using the green data point markers, and are labeled with their values. The intervening empty string values appear to have doused the lines connecting the two data points.
    Formula: =IF(OR(B=MAX(B),B=MIN(B)),B,"")
