Curves isn't offered in the layer dropdown. Why?

I uploaded a raw photo and was going to work in layers with curves, but it wasn't offered in dropdown. I've had that happen a few times after working with curves once or twice, but the third time it wasn't offered in dropdown. Why?

What dropdown? Can you please show a screen grab of what you're describing? Please don't assume others can know what you're seeing without a bit more complete description.
Are you looking for a Curves adjustment layer? Do you see Layer - New Adjustment Layer - Curves?

I'm on a prepaid plan for the 4s, i want the hotspot option which isn't offered on the prepaid plan. heard the connection is too slow on the 4s only worth it on the 5 or 5s. would you agree? not sure how much the hotspot would increase my monthly bill...

To use the hotspot for any of those devices, I believe you have to switch to a postpaid account and plan. You can see the pricing for the available postpaid plans under the "Shop" area of the website.

When I copy layers and crop one, it changes every layer. Why?

Can't work this out. I have imported a jpeg and copied it several times. I woud like to crop out a different portion of each and have a stack of layers each showing a part of the original jpeg. When I select one layer and lock the rest the result of cropping the active layer is applied to all copies of the layer! Why? How do I get round this irritating behaviour? Working in Photoshop CS on a Mac.

Yeah, it took me awhile to get my head around it when I first started. As PECourtejoie stated cropping is for the whole document.
For a single layer just use the square selection tool, drag out the area you want in the new layer, then hit ctrl-j it will copy that area into a new layer for you.
If you want the selection to fill the thumbnail, just right click on the thumbnail, at the bottom of the menu you will find clip to layer bounds. Once that is selected the selection will fill the thumbnail.

How can I get a refund at the App Store when it isn't offered ?

Perhaps the Apple attack dogs will like this post better.
How do I get a refund for a costly app that, after requesting a refund, appears to not offer one? How does one know if an app meets one's needs unless you try it first?
This seems so obvious, and yet, I am shocked that Apple does not offer a trial or refund opportunity if even for 24-48 hours.
Is there another way to get a refund that I'm not aware of?

I repeat, the Apple policy is that all sales are final and after an app has been bought and downloaded, there are no refunds. Period.
The ONLY exception to the No Refund policy is if something freaky happens and you buy an app and between your purchase and attempt to download the app it is removed from the iTunes/MAS and is no longer available.

I suggest maintaining the "Layer" and "Group" concept as in Photoshop

Another one I see many people asking about is the ability to "Name" the boxes. Box. Box, Box, Box, is not too intuitive.
I am also going to suggest maintaining the "Layer" and "Group" concept as in Photoshop to soften the learning curve for new users.
I currently have boxes that are NOT grouped, but behaving like a group if I try to move them. Kinda frustrating.

You can double click on a Div in the DOM panel to rename any 'layer' or 'group'
You can also degroup and regroup grouped elements by clicking on the little grouped icon which might be why your group isn't behaving like a group.

Blackberry 10 the data isn't compatible with the version of the device software that you are currently running

Hi,
my update to 10.3.1.1565 messed the handwriting input up on my phone. so I tried to downgrade to 10.2.1, upon doing so all my files were wiped, however I thought I was being smart by doing a complete backup this morning while running 10.3.1.1565 prior to attempting the os downgrade to 10.2.1 using BlackBerry Link,
Anyway I had to restore my device back to 10.3.1.1565 and now when I attempt to do a restore using the .bbb ( backup ) which I created earlier on today i.e getting the following error message:
blackberry 10 the data isn't compatible with the version of the device software that you are currently running
the software versions on my phone now and the software version when I did my backup are exactly the same 10.3.1.1565. I'm able to restore my user files and apps ect, as it offers to do a partial restore,., but my contacts, and remember files are now gone. I NEED THESE. how do I get these back..
please help..

The home folder for user isn't located in the usual place......

....or can't be accessed.
Ok so I have trawled the internet and found this to be a known problem, however mine has an extra twist.
Ok, my Mac has a local admin account, lets call it Admin, but the account I use is a network account called PBN.
This network account does not create a home folder path to the server, as such it stores a user folder in Macintosh HD/Users/.
Since buying this mac this has been working fine, no issues, but today when I log onto the machine it gets the error "The home folder for <user> isn't located in the usual place or can't be accessed", whats more is that its created a new folder labelled "~".
Things I have tried:
1) repair permissions and repair disk while booted into SL DVD
2) Right clicking while in System Pref - Users to get to advanced options to check the home drive path (Can't do this because its a network account although the profile is stored locally)
3) xattr -d com.apple.FinderInfo / on problematic machine
Couldn't do this on the PBN account as it has no permissions (although it is a domain admin)
attr file no found error the admin account
4) xattr -d com.apple.FinderInfo /volumes/users/ while booted into another machine with broken machine in target disk mode.
So, I am at a major loss and would really preciate any help

The error messages regarding network homes really don't offer any specific clues as to what's wrong. The error message you're getting means one of several things - you've done something wrong setting up your server, you've done something wrong setting up your clients, your server has hardware/software issues, or your network infrastructure is bad. I'm honestly not trying to give you a bad time here, just going over possibilities.
DNS, which you mentioned, is a good place to start. You mentioned that forward/reverse lookups work, and that's a good sign. But just to be sure, have you run sudo changeip -checkhostname
If that reports back that the names match and there is nothing to change, then it's pretty certain that DNS is not the issue. Just to be sure, your clients are using your OS X Server, or whatever server is hosting DNS records for your setup?
The next step is to double-check permissions on the shares where user homes are located. The clients should also have accurate date&time settings.
The logs on the clients and server can also offer clues, however cryptic they may be, be sure to look at them if you haven't.
Also, has this setup worked before, if not, can you describe how you set everything up? I've been stymied by OS X Server myself, so I get where you're at, but the more details you provide, the better chance that Tony, Mr. Hoffman, or other folks here can offer a few more clues/suggestions.

Why Can't I open the layer panel?

I installed the new trial version of PSE11 and for some reason the layer panel does not show up automatically and when I try to open it under the windows menu the layers part is greyed out. The entire layers dropdown menu is also entirely grey. Please help!

You need to be in Expert mode. Just click the expert button at the top of the window, and you'll not only be able to use the menu command, but will have a dedicated layers panel button at the bottom right of the main PSE window.

Changing the layer colour in Isolation Mode

How do I change the layer colour once I'm in Isolation Mode? I'm using CS4 and tring to edit a yellow object but Illustrator has made the layer/paths/edges yellow making it VERY difficult to see what I'm doing?
...actually, I just changed the objects layer to a differrent colour which seems to have made Illustator select the next colour down when in Isolation made.
Is this my only option?

I decided to test this more thoroughly.
Elements edited in Isolation Mode do actually inherit the color of the parent layer.
But there seems to be an exception: symbols. No matter what color the layer is, symbols edited in Isolation Mode get their own color. And that color is persistent across all symbols, regardless of the layer that they appear on.
However, that color is not consistent throughout the lifespan of the document. The color changes according to a pattern.
And the pattern is this: there is a sequential list of layer colors in AI, and a correlation between the number of layers in your document and the sequential number of the colors in the Layer Options color list. Symbols always use the color that is next in the list of layer colors, following the pre-assigned color of the most recently-created layer.
Test this out if you want:
Create a new document. Note that the default layer always uses the "light blue" layer color.
Now create a second layer in that document. It will be red.
The third layer will be green, and the fourth will be blue.
Now make a symbol and edit it in Isolation Mode. It's yellow.
Now look at the sequence of colors in the layer color dropdown menu: "yellow" is fifth in the list, after "blue," the fourth color in the list. It seems like AI is creating a new temporary layer for editing symbols, and like other layers, it is automatically assigned a color.
So basically, symbols edited in Isolation Mode will only be yellow if you have four layers. The way that AI assigns colors to symbols being edited in Isolation Mode seems to depend on the number of layers in the document.
If you followed the steps above, you can test this out by creating a fifth layer. Notice that it automatically gets assigned a layer color of yellow. Edited symbols will be magenta... the sixth color in the list.
It doesn't matter if you change the colors of each layer after creating them; as far as I can tell, if you have four layers, symbols edited in Isolation Mode will always be yellow.
The workaround would be to add a fifth layer to your document. Symbols in Isolation Mode will then show up in magenta, which is much easier to see on a white background.

Thr_create() returns -1 which isn't specified in the man page. What is -1?

Hello,
I'm for the first time experimenting with Solaris threads as I'm porting an AIX app. over to Solaris.
Anyhow, I have a sample program that creates a simple thread. For some reason, the return value of of the initial thr_create is -1, which isn't specified in the man page for thr_create. The man page lists the following return values, non of which are -1:
RETURN VALUES
Zero indicates a successful return and a non-zero value
indicates an error.
ERRORS
If any of the following conditions occur, these functions
fail and return the corresponding value:
EAGAIN The system-imposed limit on the total number
of threads in a process has been exceeded or
some system resource has been exceeded (for
example, too many LWPs were created).
EINVAL The value specified by attr is invalid.
If any of the following conditions are detected,
pthread_create() fails and returns the corresponding value:
ENOMEM Not enough memory was available to create the
new thread.
If any of the following conditions are detected,
thr_create() fails and returns the corresponding value:
EINVAL o stack_base is not NULL and stack_size is
less than the value returned by
thr_min_stack(3T).
o stack_base is NULL and stack_size is not
zero and is less than the value returned by
thr_min_stack(3T).
However, I don't see a -1 there and therefore, don't know what this means.
Here is the simple code that I wrote for this experiment as well as the output. It doesn't get too far into the program before exiting - I've bolded where it exits:

If you dont have none option then you must own itunes some money. So you have to enter the payment like a itunes giftcard. you can contact itunes by email by going to expresslane.apple.com

Any way to put your own zoom level in the zoom dropdown?

It turns out that on my 15.6" laptop screen a 65% zoom level is about perfect for fitting my spread in the display so that I can actually read the text in the text frames. (Double-clicking the Zoom tool puts me at a 75% zoom level but with text frames going outside my screen viewing area).
Pressing Control-Alt-0 puts me at 53.3% but with text slightly too small to read. Being stubborn, I want 65%, because then I can read all my text and fit the whole spread in the window minus the white blank area between the pink (magenta?) margins and the page trim (black border) which I don't need to see.
I know about the script method - I've already made my own keyboard shortcut for a 60% zoom level using a custom zoom60.jsx script file with a Control-Shift-1 keyboard shortcut.
Is there any way to add that 65% zoom level to the Zoom dropdown menu on the Application Bar (top of window)?
Note: You can't set a default Zoom level with no documents open because the Zoom control (dropdown at top) is greyed out - not accessible.

I found the ultimate solution to this - buy a new (business model) laptop with a better video card and screen. My top ("recommended") resolution is now 1600 x 900. The old one had a top resolution of 1366 x 768.
Pressing Control-Alt-0 to Fit Spread in Window on the old laptop gives me a 53% zoom level with fuzzy text that borders on unreadable. Pressing Control-Alt-0 on the new laptop gives me a 65% zoom level with text readable.
But, what I want is a command called: Fit Spread in Window But With A Smidgeon of White Showing Beyond The Margins. That turns out to be a 75% zoom level for me (which exists as a preset in the Zoom dropdown on the Application Bar at top of the interface), but I'll still need to do a script and map it to something like Control-Shift-1 because 75% does not result from any of the choices under the View menu. (Using Control-minus(-) and Control-plus(+) will get me to the 75% though). And, I want to get to that 75% without using the mouse.
Without getting too technical, I think working on a program like InDesign on a consumer model laptop (Acer Aspire 5535) with one of those horrible shiny screens is basically bad for your eyes. I'm now on a Lenovo Thinkpad W530 with beautiful matte screen (no glare) and text with very sharp edges.
I guess there are other solutions - like mapping Control-Alt-0 to a 75% zoom using a script to replace my current 65% zoom level.

Curves isn't offered in the layer dropdown. Why?
