CS5 Actions Loaded ... then disappear?

Hi all - I am new to Photoshop CS5 (I was previously an Elements girl). I figured out how to load and use actions. However, when I close out PS and reopen it the actions are gone. What do I need to do to KEEP them there so I don't have to continuously reload them. Thanks a bunch! : )

That’s strange.
Is Photoshop installed on your System drive?
Could you check if
~/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop CS5 Settings/ActionsPalette.psp
is set to Read & Write in Sharing & Permissions in the File Info in Finder?

Have new iMac with iPhoto sharing turned on. When the shared library is clicked the library disappears or starts to load then disappears? What is wrong?

Have new iMac with iPhoto sharing turned on. When the shared library is clicked the library disappears or starts to load then disappears? What is wrong?

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If it doesn't then your current library is damaged and needs repair.
Therefore make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
If you experience the same problem with the test library then try this basic fix a try: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If that fails a reinstall of iPhoto is indicated. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/ folder,
Click to view full size
Then install iPhoto from the source it came on originally.

Have downloaded both Adobe reader and PDF reader, but when I attempt to open a pdf from a site on safari, it starts to load, then disappears. Any way to fix this?

Have downloaded both Adobe reader and PDF reader, but when I attempt to open a pdf from a site on safari, it starts to load, then disappears. Any way to fix this?

Try quitting the PDF apps and Safari like I describe below. Then reset the iPad. After it starts try again.
Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Desktop Muse site loads then disappears entirely on iOS

Hi all,
I have recently launched a new desktop site designed in Muse.
I have not had time yet to build tablet and phone versions.
I assumed the desktop site would at least load in the meantime.
What I have found is that the site will load on iPhone/iPad for a millisecond, and then completely disapear.
Does anyone know what I can do to make the desktop site stay visible? Yes I will be building mobile versions but in the meantime I was hoping my desktop site would at least show...

Thanks for any help....

You have an unclosed tag in the custom code you've added to the <head> section in Page Properties:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" >
should be:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico"/>
I don't know for a fact this is the cause of the site "vanishing" on iOS, but I suspect it is.

You may have a bad track pad sensor.
http://blog.w3conversions.com/2006/04/faulty-trackpad-sensor-in-powerbook/
Do NOT open the computer and detach the sensor. There’s no reason to. Here is the complete method for disabling the sensor:
Move (do not delete) the following extensions to a different location (a new folder outside the extensions folder). You’ll find them in your system/extensions folder:
* IOI2CControllerPMU.kext
* IOI2CLM7x.kext
* AppleLM7x.kext
* Extensions.kextcache
* Extensions.mkext
Once moved, restart, and that little sensor will be disabled.

I downloaded and installed Production Premuim CS5 on my computer and when I try to open it out of the applications folder it bounces at the bottom and then disappears.

I downloaded and installed Production Premuim CS5 on my computer and when I try to open it out of the applications folder it bounces at the bottom and then disappears. Does anyone know why this is? I've tried everything to open them but they will not open. Does anyone else have this problem?

I have a mac osx version 10.9.2. I used to have the student version of creative cloud cs6 earlier this year. I cancelled my subscription several months ago and bought cs5 two weeks ago. I never had any problems with the cloud. I went through the entire download process for CS5, and they all showed up in my applications folder and appeared to have downloaded but every time I try to open them they bounce around next to the application manager icon and then disappear.

Please Help! Outlook Today Loads and Then Disappears Within 1-2 Seconds

Hello,
I have been using Outlook 2007 since January of 2012 on this computer with no issues. One day I came in and my outlook today page was completely blank which it is normally full. I really depend on having this feature which allows me to have all of my information
up front. I have tried several steps over the last couple weeks and can not fix it.
I have tried;
1. Restarting the computer & restarting the program
2. Downloaded and imported my pst file from outlook exchange
3. Ran the ScanOST and ScanPST applications with no results
4. Uninstalled and reinstalled the program
The weird thing is I can see the information and it is accurate (ie. tasks, calendar events, messages in inbox) however it will disappear within 1-2 seconds of loading the program. Also if I click on calendar or inbox and then back to outlook today it will
load again for another 1-2 seconds and then disappear.
I also have a laptop running the same installer of outlook 2007, on the same network in my office, and outlook today works perfect on it, however I rely on my desktop to get my work done.
Please any help will be greatly appreciated!

Sounds like you did everything I can think of but here are a few other suggestions:
-Right click the folder where outlook today is and choose data file properties and then Home page. Click Restore Defaults
-Disable any Add-ins
-Remove any PST files
-Recreate your outlook profile
-Start Outlook in safe mode (which disables add-ins) by going to a run line and typing outlook.exe /safe.
-Rename outlwvw.dll to outlwvw.old. The file is located in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\1033 or C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office12\1033

OS X v10.6- Gray progress bar appears under Apple logo during startup
Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
        the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.

Web page loads and then disappears after a few seconds

I have been visiting the More magazine website (www.moremagazine.co.uk ) for some time. However in the last week or so when I click on a link in the e mail I get from them the page loads as usual, stays for a few seconds and then disappears - only a blank page remains.. Even if I refresh I still get a blank page. If I type the URL in manually I just get a blank page immediately.

Anyone solve this yet?

Hi cybertoof,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you're seeing a startup issue with your Mac, it's booting to a gray screen with an Apple logo. Try the suggestions in the article linked below, they will resolve most issues related to starting up your Mac.

When attempting to access a specific web page on my iPad, the page seems to load then quickly disappears (resembling a white/black we page). Other sites seem fine. Note this is also occurring when I use Chrome (to access the same page).

When attempting to access a specific web site on my iPad http://www.sggplastering.co.uk the page seems to load then quickly disappears (resembling a white web page). Other sites seem fine.

Thanks so much for addressing my question. Note that the site (www.xula.edu) was working with Safari this morning, but not this afternoon. I also have now been able to access it with Chrome (remember I could not access the site with Chrome initially). Essentially one time while the site was loading on Chrome I clicked another link on the site and opened a new tab for the link- the original page then loaded and now continues to load. I've been trying to do the same with Safari but the page loads and "goes to white" to quickly.
Other notes: I've powered off my iPad (did not help) and restarted my iPad (also did not help). I can also access all other links (to other www.xula.edu related pages on the site using Safari - I find them via a google search)- it's just the home page that loads then goes to "white screen" very quickly. Thanks again for your reply - any help/advice provided is greatly appreciated.

Firefox begins to start but then stops before loading any screen. Profile manager/safe mode appear then disappear. Task manager shows programs briefly in CPU then they disappear. Uninstall & reload makes no difference. Any ideas please ?

When we clicked as usual on the firefox icon the egg-timer started then went off. Nothing started up.
Checking the Task Manager showed firefox.exe briefly using the CPU then it dropped off the list.
We tried to uninstall and reload from the mozilla site (http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/firefox/). Installation seemed to work ok, but the same problem recurred when we tried to start firefox.
Did this again, this time removing bookmarks, etc. same result.
Tried to use the profile manager - the screen came up but disappeared before we could use it.
Same thing happened when we tried to start in safe mode - screen briefly appeared but then disappeared.
Tried googling in IE to solve the problem but nothing seems to apply.
Have run all security checks but no apparent bugs or problems.
Have had to abandon firefox and use another browser. How do we get it back please ?

Did you check your security software (firewall)?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

In need of CS5 Actions help

Last week I was trying to set my actions up to be in button mode and was trying to categorize them and so forth. I dont remember exactly what all I did, but I ended up really messing up my actions - here are the issues.
*Some actions that I try to play want to bring up dialog boxes(if applicable) for each step in that action - but did not do this before. Or it will stop (even when there is no stop inserted in the action) and wont continue to play.
* Actions that I created no longer work properly. For example, I created a "studio action" to play on all my images that I shoot in my studio. This action contained a step using a plug-in, and then about 3 other steps using other actions that I had purchased to use. When I would have a studio image, I could press play, it would process each step in that action without stopping, and then I could adust any un-flattened layers at the end. After my attempt at Button Mode, when I went back to having the Actions in a regular list, that action would no longer play each step. So I deleted it and tried to recreate that same action, but it wont record some steps/actions in the new action set I am trying to create.
*In trying to create a new action set, some actions/steps wont record, but previously had before trying to switch to button mode.
My computer is a pc and I have the windows 7 operating system. I am using PS CS5 and have updated it with the patch.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this has now slowed down my editing process

You don't record a new action set you create one and when you do you name it and its empty ther is nothing in it to play. Once created you can record or copy or move actions into it.
"and use an action from this group"
Use what action what is the group your writting about?
"it will not record it in the new set."
I don't under stand you record a new action by highlighting an action set then click on the new acyion icon. You name the new action and click on record or yourecord into an existing action by highlighting the step in an action you want to record steps after and clicking on the record button.
" I have deleted the action set that I had previously created (and used to work just fine) "
that is what I ask you to post not delete.
"so I am trying to create a new action set. namely the midtone lifter and magical contrast are ones I am trying to use in the new action that I am creating."
" Does that make sense? "
Yes and No. Some of what you wrote shows your lack of knowledge. When you move things adround and delete(unload loaded actoion set) things can become broken. Your not going to fix you problems without learning a bit.
Yes you can not attach files here you must upload them to a service like you send it and include a link to it in you append using the link icon.
