CS6 2D layers disappear when 3D layer added

Doesn't seem to matter if it's classic or raytrace renderer. All non 3d layers become invisible. If I make them 3D, they appear. Strangely, if I nest the comp into another comp, everything shows up only when viewing through the new comp.
I've tried purging cache and memory with no luck. Restarting AE doesn't help.

File it under the "one more of those CS6 bugs" category. Though you might try to check, whether the issue actualyl occurs when only running with the internal display. You could simply be running out of resources for all that hardware acceleration crap they threw into the program.

Layers disappear when saving in CS6

My layers disappear when I try to save in Photoshop CS6. They disappear when I get to the last step before saving(where you can select the quality and stuff). The effects stay, but they become kind of crappy. I've no idea how this happened either. I was just working on some pictures one by one, and then suddenly, it started happening. I did nothing differently.
Reinstalling didn't help either. What the hell is going on?

You're seeing normal behaviour/results. Most image file formats do not support layers and there can be subtle to huge differences in the display of a layered doc versus its flattened composite because Photoshop uses imprecise shortcuts to generate the composited display of a layered doc. The display discrepancies can be minimised by viewing at 100% zoom.
While working on a document, check adjustment layers, effects and layer blending with zoom at 100% so there are no nasty surprises lurking in the doc. (Of course, I realise that there's a very good chance that you may be viewing only a small region of an image when zoom is 100%.)
Regarding the JPEG save in particular: when you are at the stage of picking quality/compression, there is an option of previewing the result of the compression. JPEG doesn't support layers, hence the flattened composite at that stage. Your open doc will still be layered after you commit the save.

Layers disappear when inserting HTML

I hope there is a simple solution to this. I am trying to use
layers for a simple webpage and when I insert Fireworks HTML into a
layer, all of my layers disappear and become layout cells on my
page. Has anyone seen this before?

CS3 Layers disappear when importing map into InDesign

I have an Illustraor .ai file of a map with many layers and when I import it into my InDesign document
some of the layers disappear. When I open the map in Illustrator they are all turned on but in InDesign some seem as they are turned off or transparent. Very frustrating...any help is appreciated!

Thanks so much for your responses. Although I don't complete understand what the issue was becasue I am no Illustrator expert I did find a solution. I found that there were multiple layers within a layer and also many of those layers had paths/compound paths. So I pulled the layers within out and made new separate layers for them all and removed unnecessary compound paths. So now I have many layers instead of a couple layers with multiple layers within. Confusing I know...but it worked!
Thanks again for your input.

Layers disappear when creating a symbol

Hello,
I've created a symbol using several layers, however when I play the composition back, nothing is visibile. What am I missing? The symbol is made up of 2 lines that sprint out from another object.

Yes you can edit your symbols. Right click on the element panel and chose edit symbol. Remember that like in Flash, all instances will be changed to the new edit.

(Layers Palette) When selected, layer is highlighted in grey, not blue.

When I select a layer, it is highlighted in grey (in the layers palette) and I am unable to edit it. My current process for making a layer editable is as follows:
Select layer (highlighted in grey)
Double click layer (opens "Layer Styles" dialogue box)
Close "Layer Styles" dialogue box
Layer is now highlighted in blue and can be edited.
I am currently running Photoshop CS5.1 on a windows machine which is using Windows 7.
Any thoughts?

Howdy.
Where are you clicking on the layer?
Did you try to reset your preferences by holding CTRL+ALT+Shift as soon as your start Photoshop?

Layers disappear when I click on them

I have photoshop elements 9. When I go to click on a layer to move it, the layer disappears or moves to an obscure location without me moving the cursor. I have tried restarting the program but it does not seem to work. Any suggestions?

If you move a layer below a layer with no transparency in it--i.e., the whole layer is opaque, it will disappear since what's on top covers what's below it. If that's not what's happening, try deleting the preferences: quit the editor, then restart it while holding down ctrl+alt+shift (command+option+shift on a mac), and keep the keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.

Why do my layers disappear when I save a .jpg?

Photoshop has learned a new trick in my office today:
I arrange all of my text and layers the way I want them, get all ready to save and my group of layers becomes invisible. This is odd. They are all set to be visible in the layers window, soI select the group, use the move tool to wiggle them and they reappear. I put them back where they belong, all is good, I save my .jpg and the layers are not visible when I open the .jpg. They are, however, visible in the thumbnail version of the image in Windows Explorer. I go back to Photoshop and the layers are invisible again in spite of being set to visible.
I am at a loss. I have never experienced this before. I thought maybe it was my video card screwing up so I restarted my computer and the problem is still there. Has anyone experienced this before?

Maybe this will help. This is a screenshot of what I am talking about. All of the layers that I have circled in red should have a picture of a TV, some text, shapes, etc. All are marked as visible yet I can't see them.They are not off the drawing board, nor are they under the background. If I select the containing group and move it, they become visible again.
This is directly after trying to save a .jpg.
This is what it looks like when I try to view my .jpgs in Windows. This is the filmstrip view. When I open the .jpg in Windows Picture Viewer, all I get is the background image like the one here but if you look at the thumbnail, you can see what it is supposed to look like. I have never seen this happen before in 2 years of working with Photoshop.
Any help or direction with this would be greatly appreciated, I am at a loss as to what could be causing this.

CS6: Application menu disappears when document size is maximized

Whenever I maximize a document in Illu. CS6 it overrides the application menues! It simply covers my whole screen making it impossible to reach my menues unless i drag the documents corners to make it smaller or click the minimize icon. Is it supposed to be like this? Very annoying.

Well, I remember having a chat about fullscreen views when CS5 came out cause there was reports of simmilar problems and I had some instabilites myself, I actually placed an international call to Adobe in Ireland cause I had just bought the CS5 MA Collection (Not cheap as you may know) back then and the correspondance actually ended up with me having to return the hard copies in return for a new one. when I installed that new software I didn't experience the same problem. Now I have a brand new CS6 MA Collection bought in 2014 and the fullsize issues are even worse, meaning they are constant. It is hardly my macines Larry cause as mentioned I've installed this MA Collection on two different machines. Both of them high-end graphic stations that way exceeds Adobes minimum hardware requirments. I chose to keep my XP 32-bit license on one of them cause I enjoy that OS, the other is a W7 machine. They are not connected in any way, they are stand-alone clients and it's just too strange if both machines should be the weak spot here. I don't think so. I've been Goggling around about this particulare problem and I'm not alone experiencing the same things, it's about time Adobe made a bugfix and sorted this out, cause its developed into a major fault.
I posted this problem here on this forum just in case someone could deliver a spesific problem solver that could temporarly fix the issue, a new upgrade file or something, getting in touch with Adobe has become all impossible. All I get is some ignorant indian support worker sitting in New Dehli reading from a pre-made script. It's almost comical. I'm pretty sure this is a class A bug in Illustrator, more so now than ever. Unless someone had a definitive plausable cause description to why this is happening on two different machines. I have a corp. licens so I can install on more than two clients, I will install Illustrator CS6 on a third machine with W7 tomorrow. My best guess is that it won't solve anything, if Adobe don't man up and fix this bug I will be forced to return my Master Collection cause this error is just way to massive to deal with in silence. It's like buying a car that only turns left.

Background colours disappear when question slide added in C4

I recently updgraded to Captivate 4. Since the upgrade I have encountered this problem. I am importing slides from power point. Some of the slides have a blue background. When I add a question slide in C4, the blue background does not show up when I Preview in web browser or Publish the file. The blue background is still there if I don't add any question slides. Any ideas on what is going on and how to prevent my blue backgrounds from disappearing?

Sorry... I was in the process of doing it yesterday, but here's what I did.
I have two versions of Captivate in my laptop, Captivate 3 & 5.
1. I opened Captivate 3 and started a project
2. Create a question pool in Captivate 3
3. I inserted a powerpoint slide with my gif animation in the slide
NOTE: If you want your gif to loop continuously, you must make sure you pause the project in Captivate before the end of the slide. It will not work if you extend the slide duration.
4. After importing the ppt slide with looping gif animation in captivate 3, I copied the slide (make sure you're not copying the invisible click box) and pasted it on top of each question in the pool.
5. Go to your timeline and send the slide to the background if necessary.
6. Line up/design your question slides.
7. Save and close the project.
8. Find the project and open with > Captivate 5
Your question pool should retain the animation.
I am working on creating a "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" game. I've seen it done before, but it always looks amateur. I wanted to do something more polished, with nicer graphics, appropriate sound effects and good transition slides. The gif animation is of two moving spotlights on the background of every question screen. I'd be happy to share a sample if I knew where to upload it to.

Default SSID Disappears When Additional SSID Added

Hi,
I have an issue when configuring an additional SSID for an autonomous AP, hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
Currently there is one SSID configured to use VLAN 1, Bridge Group 1, and the normal dot11Radio0 and FastEthernet0 interfaces. I can associate clients to this SSID without issue.
I then configure a second SSID, and assign it to VLAN 253, Bridge Group 253, and sub-interfaces dot11Radio0.253 and FastEthernet0.253. Clients can associtae with this SSID ok, but now clients are unable to associate with the original SSID on vlan 1.
Is there something key that I would have missed or any particular debug commands to run that will narrow down the problem?
APs are Aironet 1230B's running c1200-k9w7-mx.123-7.JA1.
Thanks,
Paul

Sorted this.
I needed to specify vlan 1 with the encryption methods and ssid, eg:
dot11 ssid wlan1
vlan 1
authentication open eap eap_methods
authentication network-eap eap_methods
int dot11Radio0
encryption vlan 1 key 1 size 128bit 7 1234567890ABCDEF1234567890 transmit-key
encryption vlan 1 mode wep mandatory
Thanks,
Paul

When I open Photoshop CS6, the image does not show in Photoshop. The image IS open, i.e. the filename is shown on a tab and the image layers show in the layer panel. What is going on?

Both Photoshop and Bridge open as usual. But when I open an image, the image does not show in the image area. The image filename does show in a tab and the layers show in the layer panel. What is going on and how do I fix this.

I resolved the problem. It was somehow related to my using Microsoft
theme pictures. I set Windows to use the basic theme and the problem
went away. Thank you for the suggestions.

Apple changed the save behaviour several times in the past few versions of MacOsX - there is a good article about this:
http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/os-x-mountain-lion-how-apple-rescued-save-as
The trouble is, you should (I know, not much of a help to you at this point) always create backups AND work with versions. So save many versions (x1, x1a, x2, x2a, etc), because when you work within one master file you run the risk of these type of accidents and there is always a tiny change your file becomes corrupt for some external reason. You never know. Disk space is cheap, losing your work is often a real hassle, and can become very problematic when dealing with clients.
So, save many versions, and make backups of your work. And never NEVER open your original files in any other software - always use a duplicate. You never know what that software might do to your files.
Anyway, have you tried searching for the file name on your mac? Maybe, just maybe there is a duplicate lying around somewhere with the layers intact.

Upper layers partially disappear when lower layers are oriented

I have several layers of a website - each of which have 3D turned on and which were oriented to provide some perspective. I've noticed that when the layers are oriented, they tend to intersect each other - so I see some of one layer and some of another layer. I've also placed an animated graphic of a cursor on top of all the layers. When I reposition the cusor - and it moves into an area of the graphic below - it disappears.
It seems like there's a diagonal line running down the graphic and when images in layers above intersect with that area - they somehow diappear behing the oriented image below.
How can I prevent this from happening?
I was going to insert an image - but when I click the camera icon - all I get is a big grey box that says 'Insert Image' - but no way to select the image I want to insert. Very strange!

Your layers are intersecting because they are intersecting in 3D space. Look at a left or right view and you'll see the layers cutting into each other. If you want them not to intersect then you have to move them. The most common thing to do is to change the Z distance. It sounds like you don't understand 3D space. AE works like all 3D apps except that the layers are limited to 2D planes. If they intersect in the 3D world then they intersect. If one moves behind another then it is behind. The layer order does not make any difference unless you start inserting 2D layers or adjustment layers between 3D layers.
I have no idea what you mean when you say "I was going to insert an image - but when I click the camera icon - all I get is a big grey box that says 'Insert Image' - . . ." because you don't insert images into After Effects, you import them to the Project panel and then you drag or add them to the timeline. There is no camera icon in AE that has an Import function. What exactly are you doing and what app are you using to Insert something by clicking on a camera icon. There are no Insert functions in After Effects.
I suggest you look for some basic AE tutorials on 3D space. There are dozens if not more that give you the basics.
