CS4: Rasterize EPS No Longer Remembers Settings

I rasterize a lot of vector EPS files into high-res bitmaps (2400 ppi 1-bit), and the Rasterize EPS dialog no longer remembers my last-used settings (even if I haven't closed Photoshop since the last one!). It always defaults back to 72 ppi, CMYK. I have to manually change it to 2400 greyscale each and every time, which is incredibly cumbersome when done repeatedly.
All previous versions remembered the last-used settings (as any application should IMO). Does anyone else see this, or is it just me? Why was this changed? If it ain't broke, don't fix it...

  • Calculator no longer remembers

    Until recently, when I opened Calculator in OSX 10.8.2 Mountain Lion or earlier, it would remember what was on it the last time I used it. I always use the Paper Tape window. I use it to add and subtract in my checkbook, so I like having it remember what was on it. I can always clear it if I want to. Now, for some reason, Calculator no longer remembers what was previously on it. It comes up blank every time I open it. I cannot find any preference settings to change it. Is this supposed to be an improvement from one of the recent updates?

    Thanks. That did it. but the odd thing is, I am pretty sure I had already unmarked that box before. It seems to have marked itself since.

  • 10.5.8 Finder no longer remembers open windows in FileVaulted home director

    I am having a strange problem since upgrading to 10.5.8 - in my FileVault home directory, the Finder no longer remembers which windows are open. Each time I log in, I get just a clean desktop no matter how many windows were open before. This does not affect any non-FileVaulted users on my system.
    Is this a permissions issue? And if yes, how do I fix it?
    Thanks,

  • No longer remembers position in playlist

    I have had my First Gen iPod shuffle for about a year and a half, and for the most part everything still works dandy.
    However, it no longer remembers its position in a playlist or a song from the last time it was turned off. I have tried resetting the firmware (and doing this with different versions of iPod updater) but I still have the same problem. Other than that, the thing plays fine and updates with no problems. I just have had this very strange problem, and haven't found anyone who has had a similar problem who could help me out. This has unfortunately prevented me from using the shuffle for playing audiobooks (as I previously enjoyed doing).
    Has anyone else had this very odd problem, and know how to help me out? I'm running iTunes 6.0.5.20 (I can't run 7 on my machine) and iPod Shuffle firmware version 1.1.4.
    Any help would be greatly aprreciated. Thanks!

    It's not a fix, but a workaround. Don't turn the shuffle off. When you want to stop listening for a while, pause the shuffle. After a period of time it will go to sleep and use a negligible amount of battery.
    To resume playing, press the Play/Pause button. The green LED will blink for 3-5 seconds while the shuffle wakes up, then press Play/Pause again.
    This is the way I use my shuffle, but I don't have any experience with audiobooks.
    Good luck

    Trying to install Illustrator cs3, during the installation I am asked for photoshop cs4 disk I no longer have the photoshop cs4 disk

    Do you own Illustrator CS3?  An older version should not only not be asking you to utilize a newer version in any way, it couldn't even know about the existence of it.

  • Safari no longer remembers log-in settings

    Since a few weeks, something must have changed on my Safari 5.1 or computer: I now have to repeatedly sign in into yahoo mail, and all forums of blogs where I am a registered user- often more than once a day. 
    On my other computer (PPC iMac G5) which runs Safari 3.2.3 none of this is an issue: user names and passwords are flawlessly remembered and none of the cumbersome work is required.
    What do I need to do  or reset?
    Thanks,

  • CS4 Media Encoder- Two Pass CBR settings?

    I have come across something strange in the stand alone Adobe Media Encoder CS4 (Windows and Mac) when attempting to encode an FLV with on2vp6.
    There is an option under CBR that allows for a two pass, however it also has the minimum bitrate, maximum bitrate and bitrate variability options. This makes sense for VBR, but why are they there for in CBR?  Are they inactive for CBR? Shouldn't they be dimmed? Are you supposed to set to 100% and leave it? Is it a bug?   I know H.264 only has one pass, and it acts the same way as FLV/on2vp6 One Pass.
    One of the whole points CBR is that you have a defined bitrate with no variation, used predominantly for HTTP Pseudo Streaming or Streaming. I have a bitrate limit imposed on a server, so I add video and audio bitrates together and get the total bitrate and I want a steady stream. With minimum and maximum settings it would vary depending on your content hence the term VBR which seems contradictory to CBR...
    Can anyone please shed some light on this?
    Thanks in advance.
    Jon

    Thanks again for the reply. The next question would be, is One Pass CBR then the only true CBR (or best for streaming/pseudo streaming)?
    Adobe's Docs skipped right over that (2 Pass and CBR)...seems pretty important, maybe they figure most will just use One Pass for CBR.
    The funny thing is you can't find any real references on the web to Two Pass CBR either. Even Google wants me to change it to VBR Two Pass in my searches :-)
    The reason I ask is that when we ran Two Pass CBR, it flagged an error on the HTTP Psuedo Stream server (similar to Xmoov PHP) because it exceeded the bitrate limit at a portion of the video (evidentially) and stopped it in its tracks... Unless maybe it was a coincidence but it was tried several times supposedly. I didn't witness this, because we don't have access to the client's Intranet/VPN (long story). I built a JWPlayer/Xmoov PHP setup at our site to replicate, but it doesn't have the bandwidth throttling enabled to test that theory.   I will try to run some more tests and post back here if I find the anomaly.
    I much prefer VBR 2-Pass anyway for quality but you can't really stream it effectively.

  • IPhone no longer remembers position in track properly

    I'm seeing a couple of problems related to audio playback in OS 3.0. Playing audio in the iPod application doesn't properly remember where I stopped playing a track previously, and doesn't consistently show which track is currently playing. Both of these may be related to playing tracks at 2X speed, but I'm not sure that's always the case.
    I listen to a number of podcasts and sometimes speed through them at 2X speed. Sometimes when I'm doing this when the current track is finished playing the progress slider still shows that it is only half way through the track. Then, when the next track begins it still shows the old track information, although sometimes it eventually advances the display to the next track.
    In addition, almost always, when I try to continue playing later the iPod app no longer properly remembers where I left off. This seems to be related to the above problem in that it continues where the progress slider was last positioned, which, as I mentioned, isn't where the audio is actually.
    So, are others seeing this? Any workarounds?

    Apple, any update on this?
    I listen to long mp3s with the 'Remember Playback Postion' setting checked which are not updating correctly when I sync back to iTunes.

  • CS4 After Effects no longer loading after installing Office 08

    During the christmas break I installed Office 08 and its seamed to have mucked something up in CS4 After effects because it won't load anymore, the program starts loading the libraries and all that stuff at the splash screen and crashes when loading User interface
    After effects worked fine before I installed office 08. Does anyone know what has happened and how to fix it? The strange thing is, it works on a couple of macs but the majority of the lab is having this problem.
    I have tried heaps of things:
    - Totally uninstalled office 08 and its preferences
    - Uninstall CS4 and manually remove all the preference files
    - Locate the fonts folders and comparing the fonts with that of a working mac
    - Creating a new login account
    - Updated to After effects 9.0.2
    After spending hours and hours and hours doing this, I have had no luck solving the issue. Help will be greatly appreciated... I will backup all the data and re-install Leopard next week if no-one knows how to fix this.

    The failure appears to be in the FLV QuickTime component, which is an FLV exporter for QuickTime that Adobe Flash (or older Macromedia releases) installs into your [root]/Library/QuickTime folder.  After Effects loads any such component that QuickTime makes available (they appear under the File > Export menu).
    First, try deleting the com.macromedia.FLVExporter in your [username]/Library/Preferences folder, if present.  Failing that, pull out the FLV QuickTime component I described above.
    It is also theoretically possible that the failure is in the next component in the QuickTime components folder, not the FLV component.  You might could just pull out the entire contents of that folder and see what happens.

  • The 'Music' app no longer remembers the place when playing Audiobooks.

    I have been downloading Audiobooks from Audible to iTunes for around 10 years. I always ensure that the settings include 'remember place' before uploading them to 'Music' on (currently) my iPhone 4.
    In the last few weeks this seems to have stopped working.
    I selected all of my Audiobooks and applied the 'remember place' flag to all of them and connected the iPhone again to sync it.
    It worked! ... Once. Second time I stopped the player, when I went back to it, it returned to where it had started the previous time; 3 hours 41 minutes. Now, every time I stop the player it returns to 3:41.
    I suspect that the cause is that the 'lock screen' shows the player with the book, and always stays at 3;41, even when playing. My feeling is that this overrides the players pointer, because the minute the phone is unlocked, back it goes to 3:41.
    Does anyone have any ideas how to get round this?
    Many thanks
    Regards
    Cleonw

    WORKAROUND: In iTunes, select the podcast files and hit CMD-I (show info). Set the genre to something other than "Podcast", and in the Options tab, set the Media Type to Music. You can do this to the files that are on your iPhone. If you do this to the files on your computer, they will no longer show up as Podcasts - they'll be mixed in with music files in your library. You can then put these podcasts into playlists on the iPhone, and they'll show up on the phone once it's disconnected. You might need to fool around with this a bit - try it more than once, etc. - I had some podcasts not show up on the iPhone until after a SECOND connect-and-disconnect operation with the computer. Others here might do some experimenting and figure out a smoother set of instructions that will always work - but this is a starting point.
    Note that I ALWAYS "manage music and video files manually" - I NEVER "sync" music and video. Your mileage may vary.
    Apple - please listen: The handling of podcasts in iOS 7 is not a feature, it's a bug. As you can tell from the comments here, MANY people need to manage podcasts as if they were music files (and sometimes, THEY ARE!!!!). The arbitrary decision to treat podcasts differently is WRONG - an audio file is an audio file. I don't need to buy one TV to watch sports and one TV to watch news - because video is video. Get it? If you want to provide a Podcasts app, that's fine, and anyone who wants to use it can do so. But don't RUIN the previous, excellent functionality that we had before, when it's completely unnecessary and a colossal pain (not to mention insult) to your customers. And in some cases, it's a serious driving safety issue.
    I'll be watching this space to see if others can refine the basic workaround that I've found.
    UPDATE: It appears that changing the genre is unnecessary, only the "Media Type". It's probably best to do this only to the copies on the iPhone, so the files in your computer's library are not altered.

  • CS4 or CS3 for long shows?

    This year we will be editing a 2 hour feature with 10 layers of Audio and video, blue screen effects, etc. Is CS4 recommended yet or should I stick with CS3 for this job?

    Is the project HD or SD?
    I've just started a fairly complex 1 hr HD program in CS3. I feel that we've only just got all the bugs out of CS3, no way I'm going to dive into something important with the new CS4. If you look at the posts in CS3 forum- they are mostly about technique, whereas many of the posts in CS4 forum are "CS4 crashes...", "BSOD...", "CS4 won't install...", etc., etc.
    Also, I've quit trying to do long HD programs as a single project in PPro. I have had problems with Premiere getting slow and buggy as the HD project gets out to 30-40 min. in length. Now,I divide the program into "reels" of about 15 min each. Each "reel" is a seperate project. When finished, I export each reel to a "final assembly" project. Sometimes I will add the final music tracks at this point, then export the finished movie out to the delivery format.
    If CS4 has some new feature that you just absolutely need, then go for it, otherwise you might want to stick with the devil you know.

  • After installing cs4, camera raw no longer available in cs3

    New computer, mac pro 2.8, 10.6.6. On previous and other macs I work on, I'm able to open jpgs and tifs in camera raw with the cs3 or cs4 bridge. Have current versions of camera raw for each app, but cs3 bridge no longer has options for opening jpgs, tifs, or dng files in camera raw. I still have prefs for camera raw in cs3 bridge. Do I need to build new cache for cs3 alone? Have newest DNG converter, would this have screwed up my cs 3? Any ideas?

    Actually fixed major problem by purging cache, except dng files that I could open before in cs3, now only recognizable in cs4. Things could be worse, I suppose.

  • CS4 + 10.6.5 - Delete Photoshop Settings file?

    I'm having major issues when starting Photoshop CS4 on an iMac running OS X 10.6.5.  My keyboard almost becomes "stuck" and invokes strange actions.  I am using Spaces and using the Option key + arrow key to move between Spaces.
    Tried opening up Fireworks immediately after closing Photoshop and it works properly without any issues.
    Any ideas?

    Yesterday Photoshop worked flawlessly, but right now the error reocurred again.
    I can't see any suspicious logs in the windowserver log.
    I unplugged the keyboard and started Photoshop again. Doesn't work. It still asks me if I wanted to delete the settings file (as if I was holding down the alt key).
    Possible difference between yesterday (Photoshop working correctly) and today (Photoshop misbehaving): I was working on different InDesign documents. I don't know if that makes any sense, though However, Photoshop worked while working on InDesign document A. Now that I'm working on InDesign document B again, Photoshop shows this weird error. If this is only coincidence or if Photoshop stopped working in the very moment I opened InDesign doc B I cannot say. As a matter of fact, while working on this document, I saw error logs like this every now and then:
    [71] kCGErrorFailure: CGXDisableUpdate: UI updates were forcibly disabled by application "InDesign" for over 1 second. Server has re-enabled them.
    But there have never been any Photoshop-related entries around the same time.

  • CS4 stops responding for long periods of time

    First of all, let me say that I am very enthused with the changes in CS4. I feel that this is the best update to PhotoShop that I have seen, and I am a user since version 3.0.
    The problem that I see, ocassionally, is that PhotoShop becomes non-responsive for a long period ie: 1-2 minutes. I have experienced this on both my desktop (64 bit Vista Ultimate and 64 bit CS4) and my laptop (32 bit Vista Ultimate). During this time the disk drive is continuously active as though it is swapping the file to disk. The file size, however, is not large enough to cause this and the utilization factor is shown as well below 100%. After a period of time the disk drive stops and CS4 becomes responsive again.
    The system is an AMD dual core processor with 6GB RAM on the desktop and 2GB RAM on the laptop. Both systems use SATA hard drives. The CS4 scratch disc is a separate dedicated drive on the desktop. Both systems use Nvidia video and open GL is working fine on both computers. Both computers have the latest Nvidia drivers. Since there are no open GL problems, I assume that the video drivers are okay. As I have said, I see this problem on both my laptop and my desktop.

    Thanks for the replies. The desktop was default to a net printer, however the laptop was default to a local printer. I will try a local printer on the desktop and will let you know the results in a few days.
