CS4 actions suddenly doesnot work!

I use actions every day and have never had any problems, but now after the last ACR update I have problems.
I want to batch a lot of corrected rawfiles from Bridge and choose Tools/Photoshop/batch and select a action that converts the raw file to tiff, uses unsharp mask and chose the right fileinfo for this customer. This action and many others like that have worked ok for years - but then suddenly Photoshop does not read the xmp file with the corrections??????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
I have tried to make new actions, restarted Phshp, Bridge, the pc´s - but the same - also on my labtop with CS4
Please help!!!!!!!!!

It seems when i do something simple as typing text, it'll stop working and give me a "Adobe Photoshop suddenly stop working". My CS4 32bit version seems to working fine with whatever i'm working on. I'm running a fresh install of Windows 7 64bit Ultimate on a new computer Intel quad core with 4gig of ram if that helps. Sorry if this have been asked before but i couldn't find anything on these forums. Thanks in advance.

i deleted the prefs file and now i can open photoshop. but it seems as if it crashes if i open ANY file with ANY text, no matter what the font is.

Hello
My system version 10.5.8
I have installed Safari update - 5.0.6 and the browser stopped working. At openingit shows the following icon:
"Safari has suddenly finished working. Possible problem is in the action of the plugin "TastyAppsAVPlugin".
After deleting all plugins from the folder "Internet Plugin", Safari worked again no problem, BUT all sites with flash content (e.g.YouTube) did not work.
I then tried the following experimental steps:
a) Moved all plugins from the folder "Internet Plugin" into a temporary folder.
b) Downloaded and istalled Adobe Flash Player version 10.3.181.34
c) Started Safari and it did not work ( same message"TastyAppsAVPlugin")
d) Deleted Adobe Flash Player from the folder "Internet Plugin". Safari worked.
e) Moved back all plugins, except Adobe Flash Player, from the temporary folder to "Internet Plugin" folder. Safari works... But Flash won't work!!! Before update to Safari 5.0.6 , ev erything worked perfectly well.
Guys, please solve the problem

There are many threads on this. I typed "Uninstalling TastyApps" in the Google search, and came up with these:

I do not know which of the many TastyApps haxies you have. Perhaps it would be better to contact them directly, once you know which of their products you have.

Had a hard time all of sudden opening photos in PS via Bridge. Updated all my software and now halfway through editing a photo, my actions don't work properly. Should I remove all programs and re-install?

AppleTv2: HDCP suddenly not working on netflix after update

I have had a working AppleTV2 for about a year and have been using netflix to stream movies. After most recent update I can no longer stream due to HDCP error. There are been no changes to the hardware (cables, TV, power, etc.) This can only point to the update. I tried to do a restore from Mac to the most recent update. I took it into the genius bar and they tried to do the same thing. No change, they only offer the $69 Service replacement. I have tried changing the outputs, the hdmi cable and powering up in a certain manner. None of these work? Why is this suddenly not working?
Thanks for any help.

Interesting (albeit, odd) addition to this issue --
on my work system (dual G5, decked out, 23" Cinema), the same issue started to happen after the QT upgrade... however in my situation, the movie would load, but then just sit there, frozen.
The first time I saw this, I started to move my mouse across the web page, and noticed that every time the pointer would roll over a URL link or any other rollover type of object within the browser window (e.g., a link or even a tab or bookmark shortcut in the Safari toolbar) the movie would suddenly start and stop, but just for a fraction of a second. But yet, if I just leave my mouse sitting on top of the URL or rollover object, it does nothing. It appears to be directly related to the action of roll-on or roll-out from other objects on the page, or within the overall window.
So basically, if I take my mouse and move it ridiculously fast back and forth over any one of these rollover items, the movie will play for a fraction of a second each time the pointer passes over the object and makes it highlight... something to the effect of watching a flip-book animation that stutters along.
Very bizarre -- not sure what happened with the update, but hoping that there is a patch released soon. It would appear that it's conflicting with other objects within the window, or it's waiting for some action on another rollover-type of item that is loaded within the overall window.

Stop(); Action doesn't work in AS3?

I'm a designer and usually work in AS2.
But I created a movie in as3 (to use the Bones function), and now my stop actions are not working.
What I usually do for my movies is break the movie down in parts on the Main timeline (Start/Content/End), place stops on each of these frames.
And within the Movieclips that play on these labels I put a call:
stop();
_root.gotoAndPlay("Content") etc...
Anyways any fixes for this in AS3?
I'm using CS4 if that matters.

The stop() command works as well in AS3 as it does in AS1/2. What doesn't work is using AS2 terms like "_root". In general, if a stop() command is not working it is because some other code is failing or otherwise overriding the stop().

CS4 Actions change "Show Current Layer, Toggle With Others" MIA

Greetings forumers,
I have been using Photoshop for years as a hobby and professionally. My employer recently upgraded our Mac Pro Quad-Core Intel Xeon computers to Photoshop CS4. The transition has been mostly painless accept for all the changes to the keyboard shortcuts (I'll live).
Recently we have come across an issue with one of our customer's workflows that we have not been able to get by using CS4. Or customer has a workflow that we must work within in order to provide them with the artwork files in a way they can use for other processes. The main parts of this workflow involve layer structure and a set of actions that they have been using since Photoshop 7. Our customer uses Photoshop CS3.
With the transition to Photoshop CS4 in our shop, one line of their action does not function in CS4.
Show Current Layer
Toggle With Others
What needs to happen is at the end of the action all layers need to be turned visible. In CS3, in the layer palette, by Control & Clicking the eye and selecting "Show/Hide all other layers" produced the recorded action 'Show Current Layer, Toggle With Others'. The names of the layers are not recorded. This is good because the action will work on any layer no matter what the name of the layer is. In essence all layers are made visible.
In CS4 performing the same above clicks produces a recorded action 'Show , ...' The diference is that in CS4 the action is recording the name of every layer that it is showing/hiding. Simply change the name of one of your layers and running the action again produces a verbose error box.
So any thoughts on how to make visible all layers in a document using an action that will work on any layered file?
We are constructing our files in CS4 and opening them in CS3 to run the action for our customer as a work around. Or we are manually toggling the visibility, but what fun is that when it used to be automatable?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You could try this script (CS4 only) to make all layers/groups visible. If it works for you, you could then call it as part of your action.
selectAllLayers();
var sl = getSelectedLayersIdx();
var sLayers = new Array();
for( var i = 0; i < sl.length; i++ ){

Hello muzaherul hoque,
I would start troubleshooting your iPhone with the following steps:
Verify that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack, including headsets, headphones, or adapters.
Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is not switched to silent.
While on the Home screen, adjust the volume buttons. If you see the icon below, indicating that headphones are attached, there may be debris or an object lodged in the headset jack:
Check the headset jack. If there is an object lodged in the headset jack that is not easily removed, have the iPhone serviced to remove object.
For Original iPhone: If there is light debris, such as lint, in the headset jack, try connecting a pair of headphones to the headset jack and then remove the headphones. Repeat this several times to remove the debris.
If you have installed a protective film on the display, either ensure that the receiver is not covered or remove the film completely.
Check the receiver mesh (which is on the top front of the device, above the display). If it appears blocked, use a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush to carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If you have paired with a Bluetooth headset that is nearby, either use the headset or turn Bluetooth off (choose Settings > General > Bluetooth).
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting the iPhone doesn't resolve the issue, try restoring the device.
If the issue persists, go to the Service Answer Center - iPhone for information on service.

Transferring CS4 actions to CS6

We were recently upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7. In addition, we received an upgrade from CS4 to CS6. Now none of the actions that we use in analyzing image falsification will work. How do we upgrade the CS4 actions to CS6?

How can I transfer my workspaces, presets, actions and brushes (to a new version/ to another computer)?
If you have specific issues, ask in the PS forum and provide info about what steps your actions actualyl use...

Internal and external microphone doesnot working on HP probook 6550b

HP probook 6550b. Windows 7 Pro SP1 64bit.
Sound works without any problems but my microphone suddenly stops working today.
Usually i use my internal microphone.
I tried to plug in one of my external microphones to mic jack and it also doesnot working. I check my 2 external microphones on other PC and they both are woking properly.
1) Nothing new was installed today.
2) To fix this i tried to swich in sound properties default device but i dont see any green volume level behind mic images for both.
3) I removed all audio drivers
4) After PC was restarted windows installed default drivers but i still cannot record any sound. (Checked in skype and by green record level indicator in sound properties)
5) Also for default windows drivers i tried to switch my default microphone in 'sound' window settings and also plug in and out my external mics and without results.
Screen shot of windows after default windows drivers was installed:
What it can be?
Thanks.

First question, i would answer yes :
About this mac >Materiel > Audio (intégré) > audio haute définition Intel > microphone interne > connexion interne
Second question :
in system preference > microphone interne is black and not grey.
bars "sound test" near menu "entry level" does not move at all even if I shout...
Third question :
The power supply has been totaly replaced by a new one.
4rth :
Yes, no problem with speakers integrated or with the one of the headset...
On skype : i Hear but can not speak.
(i tested the headset on a PC, it works)

Java in suddenly stopped working. Help?

Java in suddenly stopped working. Get "inactive plugin". Things were fine yesterday. Checked Java preference and everthing looks fine. Running os 10.6.8. Does anyone have a fix?

The recently released Java 7 Update 11 has been blocked by Apple through its XProtect anti-malware feature in OS X.
Oracle issued the latest update to Java earlier this month to fix a serious zero-day security flaw. The threat was so serious that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security had recommended that all Java 7 users disable or uninstall the software until a patch was issued.
Apple took action on its own and quietly disabled the plugin through its OS X anti-malware system. And as noted by MacGeneration on Thursday, Apple has again updated its OS X XProtect list, this time to block Java 7 Update 11.
Because Oracle has yet to issue a newer version of Java that addresses any outstanding issues, Mac users are prevented from running Java on their system.
Over the last few years, Apple has moved to gradually remove Java from OS X. The Mac maker dropped the Java runtime from the default installation for OS X 10.7 Lion when the operating system update launched in 2010. Java vulnerabilities have been a common exploit used by malicious hackers looking to exploit the OS X platform.
Most notably, the "Flashback" trojan that spread last year was said to have infected as many as 600,000 Macs worldwide at its peak. Apple addressed the issue by releasing a removal tool specifically tailored for the malware, and also disabled the Java runtime in its Safari web browser starting with version 5.1.7.
Javascript should not be disabled (it has nothing to do with Java).

Can I merge Photoshop CS6 with extended into Photoshop CS4 or CS5 will work together ?

Can I merge Photoshop CS6 with extended into Photoshop CS4 or CS5 will work together ?

Versions of Photoshop have different installation trees and user preferences. You do not merge Photoshop versions. Each version is independent. When you install newer versions of Photoshop the are options to migrate your presets and Preferences. You can start and use any version installed on your machine. For the most part newer version of Photoshop are backwards compatible with older versions of Photoshop. However some changes Adobe make to Photoshop change user interfaces and and the way Photoshop performs some functions these changes break some user actions, scripts and user work-flows. In fact all the version you listed CS4, CS5 and CS6 have comparability issues. In that respect Photoshop CC is not any better it has compatibility issues.
Newer versions of Photoshop have new functions and updated old function. Older versions can not handle everything save by newer versions of Photoshop. If you save PSD and PSB files with the maximum compatibility option checked. Older version should be able to open you layer document with layers that look like what was saved though some layer may be altered and may even be a different layer kind then was saved. If you need to support older versions of Photoshop always use the maximum compatibility option.

ADF : Valuechangelistener doesnot work sometimes

Hi,
I do have a jsp page with three iterators in it. I do have a <af:inputFile component in the jsp page with a 'ValuechangeListener' which does some action. Below this component, I have a command button which uploads the document. But as the valuechangelistner doesnot get executed, I always get null pointer exception.
Could anyone please tell me why valuechangeListener doesnot work in here?
Thanks,
Haripriya.S

... here's the expected snippet from the documentation
<af:form usesUpload="true">
