Deleting Folder Layer makes Flash CC lock

In Flash CC, in Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit, I'm trying to delete a folder with layers in it. I get the message 'Deleting this layer folder will also delete the layers nested within it. Are you sure you want to delete this layer folder? As soon as this window appears, Flash is frozen and I must use Task Manager to close it.
The same thing happens when I try to open an FLA that was created in Flash CS3 with Action Script set to 1.0 in Publish Settings. I get the window stating that Flash will convert the file to AS 3.0, but I cannot click the button to approve that, and Flash is locked.
Any ideas on what's causing this?

Similar issues I'm having with Flash CC (the program is essentialy unusable):
- When I Save As, the Confirm Save As Window opens, and says 'The file already exists.' Yes and No are the options. Rollover with mose highlights the 'Yes' or 'No' but you cannot click either button. Flash CC freezes.
- When I try to change the outline color by clicking the square beside the Padlock in a layer, the Layer Properties Window opens, but when I click the color swatch next to ' Outline color:' the swatch does not appear.
- Flash CS3 works OK on this computer.
- Generally, it seems that no dialog windows function correctly. I can draw with no problems.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Problem in delete folder

Please don't refer me to the innumeras delete folder solutions available in the SDN. None of them has come to my help.
I need to delete a folder. Well, codes are available everywhere, I run it, it successfully deletes the folder specified.
But the requirement is, I need to make a zip of the folder, then I'll delete the original folder. I am pasting the code here. The zip part is working, the delete part is not! if you comment the line calling zip, it deletes the folder, but after zipping, it cannot delete.
Is there some lock present? How to check and remove that? Please help.

Thanks it worked.
The problem was, the folder I was trying to delete had .classpath, .project, .websettings files. It was encountering problem to delete these files because it internally also uses files of same name.
May be that was the reason.
I tried with any other folder, it worked.

The folder "ITunes" is on a locked disk or you do not have write permission

I just tried transferring all my songs from my PC to my new MacBook. I followed all the directions on the Apple website, but now when I try to open ITunes on my Mac a window pops up telling me..."The folder ITunes is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions for this folder." I also accidentally deleted all my music from my old computer so I don't know what to do. I think all my music is on my new computer, but I don't know how to access it.

I just went through this problem with a newly created user (should be the same for you, being a new user yourself). I had to go into the Music folder for the user and move the iTunes folder out of the Music folder onto my desktop (this already had all of my itunes music in it). You can find that folder by double clicking the "MacIntosh HD" on your desktop, then clicking the "Music" icon on the left side of the window. If you see an iTunes folder in there move it to the trash (unless you have music in there, then move it to your desktop). That would solve the problem of the locked disk issue. Now after you open itunes and agree to the terms of use make sure that the "find music" box or similar is checked. It will automatically find your music folder on your desktop. After iTunes has completed the process of uploading the music, you can trash your original itunes folder. This is exactly how I fixed this problem for myself.

I get this message... "the folder itunes is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions to this fold, I get this message... "the folder itunes is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions to this fold

My MacBook was stolen, and after a find my iphone erase instruction I got the erase started message, suppose all info on that computer was vanished.
I then bought a new MacBookPro. I has a TimeMachine back up but due to battery cutoff it was blocked and the time machine could not be accessed. I could however copy to my new computer the information.
question 1 - How do I initiate on my new computer using info that I have copied already on the hard drive to make it transfer as though it was from another computer...?
question 2 - When I try to open itunes i get the message "the folder itunes is on a locked disk or you do not have write accessability to the folder...
I already downloaded the new itunes but even after that the message continues to appear.... what can I do to make itunes work back with my previous library...?

Perhaps you should ask this question in the MAC forum. I have asked the administrators to move your post to a more appropriate forum.

I am trying to open iTunes on my mac. But a box pops up saying "The folder iTunes is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions for this folder". Anyone know what that means? I've had my computer 2 years and its never had a problem opening it

I've already right-clicked on the application, clicked "get info", and changed it so all people listed in the "Sharing & Permissions" section have the "read & write" privilage.
The error message is referring to your iTunes library, not your iTunes application.
You need to check and fix the permissions of the iTunes folder in your iTunes library. This is by default located in your "Music" folder.
Select the folder Music > iTunes in the Finder, right click on it or Ctrl Click and click "Get Info". At the bottom of the contextual window thatwill pop up, disclose the Sharing and Permissions brick, change your status from Read only to Read & Write. You may need to click the padlock icon to make changes.

How do I make Flash use the original Photoshop file, not a .png one?

Hi, this might be kind of a basic question/problem but I can't seem get Google to help me. Since I've recently started out with Flash, I guess I just missed some newbie thing out, still very greatful for help though, since this'll soon be causing a brain hemorrage...
Ok, here goes:
I'd like to draw key frames in Flash, just simple drawings/skelettons using the pen tool, basically to create the movement itself. After that, I want to export the frames that I drew as images to Photoshop in order to apply texture and colour, and then put them back into Flash again, without tampering with the Flash doc I've already created, since the animation is already done. I want the file(s) that I'm working with to remain the same files throughout the process, from Flash to Photoshop and back to Flash again, like the way InDesign works. Is this even possible?
If this isn't possible at all, I guess the alternative is to draw in Photoshop and then import the drawings into Flash, put them in order and then make any eventual changes after you've created the animation in Flash, this is less smooth though still possible. But here emerges (sort of) the same problem:
When I import images from Photoshop, create animation out of them, and then realize I have to make some changes in the original PS pic file I head back to PS to correct it. But it just doesn't work the way I want it to... If I modify the pic file in PS, then use the "update" alternative in Flash Library, Flash just tells me that the file can't be found, and does not update the image. If I choose the "edit in PS"-alternative from right clicking on a symbol that is in the library, the file opens as a .png file in PS, not as my original file! It seems to me that Flash is creating its own library, not using the existing document. Is there anyway to go around this? How do I make Flash use my PS file which allows me to change it as much as I want (as with InDesign)?
This is driving me crazy, what I'm working on is supposed to be full HD, I can't use a freaking .png file... Gah!
Very many Thanks in advance!
(If anyone has any suggestion for alternative software, that's also very welcome!)

If you start the artwork in Flash, you are starting with a vector drawing. If you export this art as a .png so that you can edit it in Photoshop, you will be translating the artwork to a bitmap image at a specific resolution. When you edit this .png in Photoshop, you can save it, as a .png, and then import that .png into Flash.
After you import the .png, place it on the stage in a new layer. Position the new artwork over the old artwork. Then throw away the original artwork. Now, when you want to edit the artwork, go to the original file in the movie's Library and select Edit with Photoshop. When you save the file in Photoshop, the updated file will appear in the Flash movie.
If you have Illustrator, you can export your original artwork as an Illustrator file. Then you can open this file in Illustrator, edit it, and save it. Then, as above, import the .ai file into Flash and toss out the original. Now you can edit the original file through the Library in your Flash movie.
Alternately, you could start by creating the artwork in either Photoshop or Illustrator. Then import that art into Flash. Now you have a link to the editor for either file in your Library. This may simplify things.
Working with Photoshop and/or .png files will give you a larger finished file than working with Illustrator files. In either case the finished resolution of the Flash movie will be the computer's screen resolution, 72 ppi.

How to recover deleted projects in adobe flash builder 4.5 for PHP

Hi
Problem:I accidently deleted project in adobe flash builder 4.5 for PHP and in confirming dialogue box,i checked delete contents one(see figure).
I have wasted almost 6 hours and googled almost everything but couldn't find solution.
I have also used data recovery software like Get Data:Recover my deleted files.It found all my deleted files which was deleted by me pressing Shift+Del,but it didn't displayed files which i wanted(since they were deleted by Adobe flash builder).
Any help would be welcomed as that project was so important for me.

Thanks for your solution but in mine it saying,There are no previous versions found.
I have used almost 6 recovery software paid and free and didn't intstalled on that drive where my original files are located so that it don't get overwritten.
All of them are able to recover some files like
.project
public/bin-debug folder
.settings folder
But my .php files i located in web root folder.Those file by i connect data/services. I mean PHP project files are deleted.
I had following structure of files
<Web root > php scritps to connect data\services\UserService.php                  (this file)
<Web root > php scritps to connect data\services\EmployeeService.php          (this file)
<Web root > php scritps to connect data\test\test.php                                    (this file)
<Web root > php scritps to connect data\Imp files to connect data using PHP and MySql.txt (this file)
Files marked by "this files " are lost and not found by any recovery software.
I need those php and txt files specifically.

Geotagged a folder of ~200 photos then accidentally deleted folder. How to recover geotagging data?

I had a folder of around 200 photos that I imported into Lightroom (Version 3.6) and manually geotagged using Lightroom with Jeffrey Friedl's Geoencoding Support Plug-in. This took several hours of work in Google Maps, determining where each photo was taken then individually labeling each photo with the exact GPS coordinates in Lightroom, so it was pretty annoying when I realized that I accidentally deleted that folder earlier this week in an attempt to free up some space on an external hard drive.
I *do* have two back-ups of the same photos that were in that folder, however -- one on another external hard drive and one on a laptop -- but the photos in those folders are untagged and don't have any of the geotagging data that I manually applied to the ones in the other (now deleted) folder in Lightroom.
When I go into Lightroom now and look at Previous Import it shows thumbnails of all the deleted images along with the text "The file named (imagename.jpg) is offline or missing." However, in the Metadata panel on the right under "Geoencoding" I can still see the GPS coordinates I applied to each of the photos. I could individually write down each of those sets of coordinates along with the numbers of the images they belonged to and then manually type in all those coordinates for the 200+ photos in the folder with the untagged photos but it seems like there has to be an easier, faster way to do this. Is there?
Let me reiterate what I'm asking. I have 200 photos in Folder A on one external hard drive and the same exact 200 photos in Folder B on another external hard drive. I manually geotagged all of the photos in Folder A using Lightroom but then accidentally deleted Folder A. I still have all the same photos in Folder B but without the geotagging data. I can still view the geotagging data of the pictures that were in the now-deleted Folder A in Lightroom. Is there any way to transfer that data to the same pictures in Folder B, using Lightroom or any other program?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Outside LR, just copy Folder B back to the same place as Folder A was, and make sure it has the same name as Folder A. That's it. You haven't lost the metadata, including the geotagging info....that's all still in the catalog. But because you've deleted the folder outside Lightroom, you get the "File is offline or missing" messages (in fact if you look in the Folders Panel you should see Folder A listed also with a '?' mark).....so just putting the folder back in place should fix the issue.

Flash player locks up web browsers

I'm having problems with Flash Player locking up my web browser. Any time I play a flash movie to make the browser crash (not responding). I've tried IE 8, Firefox, and Chrome all with the same results. Here are the specs:
ATI Mobile Radeon driver version 8.632.0.0
Flash version 10.153.64
Windows 7 HP 64bit
4GB Ram
Dual Core AMD
Please help!

currently flash is not available in 64bit.
32 bit version can still run on 32 bit browsers. (It doesn't work on 64 bit IE)
Is it a specific swf which is crashing or any of the flash content?

The folder Itunes is on a locked disk

Hi there. I am using a Dell lattitude 420 running Windows Vista. Last week when I clicked on the Itunes startup, I got the following message "The folder Itunes is on a locked disk or you do not have write permisions for this folder". I tried deleting Itunes and downloading a new Itunes, this was to no avail. I was hoping someone out there running Vista has encountered this problem and can offer a solution! thanks so much!

Jumping in - with VIsta permissions it might just be easier to set the entire itunes folder for FULL control. Just checking that it's not read-only doesn't work in a lot of cases.

How to create a logon script to delete folder, subfolders and contents when a user logs on ?

I need to create a logon script which will delete a folder, subfolder and contents when a user logs on. I have no experience with scripting so any pointers you can give would be much appreciated.
Thanks

depending on how you have thing set up, it might be easier to make a LaunchAgent to handle this. do this:
copy the text below into a text editor
save it as a plain text file in /Library/LaunchAgents with the file name "user.startup.folderDeleter.plist" (the name doesn't matter so much, but the 'plist' extension is required)
load the plist into launchd by restarting the machine or by opening terminal and running the command launchctl load /Library/LaunchAgents/user.startup.folderDeleter.plist
This will delete the folder any time any user logs in. You could also expand this to delete the folder periodically (once a day, for instance) if that would be helpful.
Note, this file must be saved as plain text. apps like TextEdit sometimes default to making rich text files which will not work. Either download a programmer's text editor like TextWrangler, or make sure that TextEdit is using plain text (if the window has a formatting toolbar it's using rich text; select "Make Plain Text" from the Format menu).
copy the text below:

Can I delete anything to make room in icloud for back up?

My iPhone says it cannot backup to iCloud because there's not enough storage...can I delete anything to make room or do I need to buy more storage?

If indeed it is your email that is taking up a lot of space and removing it could enable you to make your back, then you can always move the email in the mail application on your desktop to a local folder. That would remove it from iCloud and not from your desktop computer.

My MBP (mid 09)/ folder with a flashing question mark.

My MBP (mid 09) is showing a folder with a flashing question mark. I tried the usual things like PRAM Reset and booting with a external drive. I also changed the hard drive and could use it as a external drive on an other Mac - so this seems to work. Another drive could not be used too. The Apple Hardware Test does not work - my Superdrive is broken. Any ideas?
