Dissappearing dialog boxes when I go to "Save As" in PS/AI CS3

I'm really hoping someone here might be able to help me with an issue that suddenly showed up yesterday in Photoshop CS3 as well Illustrator CS3.
For some reason when I go to use "Save As" either from the dropdown "File" menu or from the keyboard shortcut the dialog box shows up for a split second and then dissappears. If I hit enter it acts as if I told it to write over the currently open file without renaming it and prompts me to verify that's what I want to do. I can't see the dialog, so I can't rename the file if I want to, or change the location where the file is being saved to.
I had my computer re-imaged last week and didn't have any issues once everything hed been reinstalled. On Monday when I had the Wacom tablet drivers installed as they had been missed the previous week the issue started. I deleted my preferences but nothing changed. I had PS reinstalled as I know in the previous PS editions the software prefered to be reloaded when accessories were attached. This didn't fix the problem, so I had the wacom drivers removed. It STILL didn't fix anything.
When I came in this morning (23 June) neither PS or AI would even open up. I had the entire suite removed (even though Flash, Fireworks and Dreamweaver all operate as intended) and reinstalled. When they were finally done the problem was STILL there!!
What other step am I missing?? Why out of the blue would these two, and ONLY these two be acting crazy?
HELP!!

Sounds as if the dialog boxes are off screen.
The usual fix is to reset preferences but you say you did it already. You could try again, as described in the FAQ.

You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
Did you change monitors or screen resolution?

In character dialog box; when I click on the "T" tool the leading shows 14.4pt. Is there a way to make the leading 100% scaled?

"Auto leading" is governed by the "Auto leading" percentage in the Justification dialog. See http://help.adobe.com/en_US/indesign/cs/using/WSfd1234e1c4b69f30d2a5051004d659b1c-7fe7a.ht ml for a full discussion (the official Help page...).
It *appears* you want the leading set to 100% of your font size. That is *technically* not a problem, but there are not many fonts that look nice with this. Hence the "120%" default -- neither very good, nor extremely bad. I usually go with about 2 pt above the text point size; but it depends on the font and the font size.

Incomplete print dIalog box when printing PDFs

During the past several weeks, whenever I try to print a PDF, the print dialog box (when Copies & Pages is selected in the pull-down menu) is blank ... I can't select how many copies or which pages to print. This only started happening recently, before that everything was fine. It doesn't matter how the PDF was created ... by OS X, by InDesign, by Photoshop, or arriving in email, the result is the same ... incomplete dialog box. My workaround so far when I want more copies or only certain pages, is to "place" the desired pages in InDesign and do the printing from there ... big pain and not an acceptable long-term alternative.
Anyone know of anything that might have happened with recent software updates?

Karen....I found this thread while looking for some help with the same problem. Did you ever find a solution? I have Acrobat 7 and 8 running on a Mini with 10.4.11 and am having the same problem in Acrobat 7 only, Acrobat 8 behaves fine. When going to the Print dialog, the area below the "Copies & Pages" button is blank. I can change the "Copies & Pages" button to other settings but the dialog box does not hold the change, it reverts back to "Copies & Pages". I have replaced Acrobat 7 without any luck.

I no longer get a dialog box when bookmarking a page. I am unable to title and save the bookmark in the folder of my choice. Where has the dialog box gone please.

Whenever I have bookmarked a page, I got a dialog box where I could give the bookmark a title and choose the folder to save it in. Now when I click 'Bookmark this page, no box appears. The page is still saved in bookmarks but then I have to go into Organize bookmarks to put it where I want it. This is time I have not had to spend doing so in the past. I would like to know what has happened to the dialog box, why has it stopped appearing as normal? I really would like it back.

It was Mcafee SiteAdvisor 3.3 of all things that caused the problem. Can anyone suggest a better/equivalent type of extension I could use?
Thanks,

Turn off save dialog box when the close command is executed

I would like to set the default value of the save dialog box to No when my users close my form, so they do not have to manual answer this question. Is it possible to do this or is there a commmand I can place in docClose to tell the form to close without saving?
Thanks
-Anne

The Downloads folder defined in Mail/Prefs/General is just to temporarily store decoded attachments.
The Save dialog is available by pressing *and holding* the Save lozenge button next to the attachment(s) in the message header header, or right-clicking/save attachment on files visible in the message body.
(Having to click and hold the save button to get something useful is extremely bizarre, and IMO broken)
You can also drag and drop items from the message to a Finder window or whatever.

How can I disable "download error" dialog box when saving a complete web page?

Sometimes, when I try to save a web page as type: "Web Page, complete", firefox displays download error dialog box stating a file "could not be saved, because the source file could not be read."
I don't have a problem with firefox couldn't save that file, but I have a problem with firefox displaying that dialog box, because I have to click OK everytime.
Is there a way to disable that annoying dialog box?

I modified the host file mainly to block ads. But that's not the problem. It's OK for me for firefox to not saving some parts of a page (ads usually within a frame). It's my intention to NOT saving those files. I just want to save the main content of a webpage.
But I'm having a problem with firefox displaying the dialog boxes.

AppleScript Newbie - Display dialog box when quitting an application

Hello.
I was wondering if it's possible to write a script that displays a dialog box (in this case one saying "BACK UP!!!!") everytime i quit Final Draft.
Thanks.
F.

A regular AppleScript does not have the ability to get system notifications, so you would have to do something like have the script continually check (poll) for applications that are running. A Cocoa-AppleScript does have the ability to do Cocoa-y stuff such as register for system notifications, so you can create a new applet (AppleScript Editor > File > New from Template > Cocoa-AppleScript Applet), paste in the following, and save it as an application (uncheck the option to show the startup screen):
property theApps : {"Final Draft"} -- a list of applications to watch for
on run -- example
# add observers for workspace notifications
tell current application's NSWorkspace's sharedWorkspace's notificationCenter
    addObserver_selector_name_object_(me, "appQuit:", current application's NSWorkspaceDidTerminateApplicationNotification, missing value)
end tell
-- tell application "Final Draft" to activate
end run
on appQuit_(aNotification) -- an application quit
# aNotification's userInfo record contains an NSRunningApplication instance that we can get properties from
set theApplication to (aNotification's userInfo's NSWorkspaceApplicationKey's localizedName()) as text
if theApplication is in theApps then
tell current application -- me
    beep 3
    activate -- make sure dialog comes to front
    display dialog "BACK UP!!!!" with title "Final Draft quit notice" buttons {"OK"} default button 1
    quit
end tell
end if
end appQuit_
When the application is run it will sit there and receive notifications when other applications quit, and checks to see if it was the application you want.

How can i get rid of the print dialog box when using api to print an html file

i am using the systemshell.vi provided by labview the VI is working fine but it will open a dialog box for printer selection and properties. i would like to hide that dialog box and have it print to the default printer with the default properties

ShellExec is part of lvwutil and merely calls a function in Shell32.dll. There is nothing about the function call that controls the display of the printer dialog. I think that what shell32.dll does when it prints (just like right clicking on the file) is print the file according to what is defined about that file type in Windows Folder Options. On my Win2K system, the print application is defined as "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\msohtmed.exe" /p %1. If I remove the /p, then Word starts up and in order to print, I get a printer dialog when choosing Print from the File menu. So it seems like the printer dialog is entirely dependant on the application that does the printing. I get no dialog when I use the VI to print a .txt file. I
nstead of using shell32, you might want to try some ActiveX method or property of an application like Internet Explorer that can open and print an html file.

How can I keep Firefox from keeping my login name and password from being in the dialog boxes when I sign on on gmail? It allows anyone to log into my email account

When signing on to my gmail account the two dialog boxes, one for account name and the other for the password are already filled in. The password box has dots for the password but anyone who clicks on the sign in box can read my mail. How do I change this? It appears to be a Firefox related issue because it doesn't happen if I sign in on Safari or Internet Explorer. I would appreciate your help.

See [[Remembering passwords]], you can turn this feature off.
You also can [[Remembering passwords#Viewing and deleting passwords|view or delete the saved passwords]].
Please let us know whether that works for you.

I no longer get the dialog box when trying to delete rejected photos.

I have always used the Delete Rejected Photos. . . selection to get rid of the photos I have flagged as rejected. However, after the rejected photos are shown, the dialog box no longer appears with the option to Delete from Disc or to Remove from the LR Catalog. I don't know if this problem began with LR 3.4 or before, but the timing was close. It isn't that I don't know how to use the function because I have been using it for years. Any help would be appreciated.

Since I had 358 photos out of almost 2800 flagged as 'rejected' I did not
want to loose all my work. I selected the rejected photos and then flagged
them all with a 'yellow' color. I then displayed all photos with a yellow
flag and 'Un-rejected' them. I highlighted a small amount of them, about 30,
and rejected them and then went to the Delete Rejected photos. the pop-up
came up and I was able to delete them. Since the rest of my yellow flagged
photos were still showing I rejected another chunk of them and so on till
they were all deleted. When trying to delete a group that had published
photos within I got a box warning me that if I deleted them the published
ones could no longer be managed by LR. That is alright with me. It would be
nice if the software would somehow flag those that had been published. All
the dialog box said was that one or more of the group had been published. I
did not know which.
Thanks again for expert help!

"Security Warning" dialog box when click script set to Run at Server

I am rendering a PDF form using the renderForm component. I'm setting the Target URL. I have a script on a button set to "run at server". I can render my form in a browser and fill it out, but when I click the button I get a dialog box with a title of "Security Warning". It says "Acrobat is attempting to connect to [target URL]" with options to Allow or Block. Is this the expected behaviour for server-side execution of scripts?
I'm thinking that maybe I should just use a submit button instead. The problem with that though, is that I don't want to run the mandatory field rules and validation rules. As I understand, you can't submit a form with a submit button unless all the mandatory fields are completed.
Here's the requirement. I need to have two "submit" buttons. One checks all the mandatory field rules before submitting a "final" version of the form. The other button submits a "draft" version without the mandatory checks. I was hoping that the second button could be implemented as a normal command button with a script that executes server-side. Sure enough, it attempted to submit without checking the mandatory fields. Unfortunately I ran into other undesirable side-effects including a distressing "Security Warning" dialog box.
Ideas?

I receive a confirm dialog box, when clicking on "stay on page" nothing happens

I receive a notice that says "stay on page or leave page". When I click on either button nothing happens, then the page locks up and I have to shut down by pressing the power button as nothing will work and restart my computer a Mac Pro new 2012.
I get the dialog box on this site:
<br> http://www.toolkitcma.com

Where are these buttons? I took a look at www.toolkitcma.com, but I did not see buttons with those messages on them. Maybe it might have helped if I had an account there, and I did not want to set up one just to test. Does that problem occur with any other site?

What's the dialog box when you launch Aperture for the first time?

I bought Aperture 3 from the App Store, installed it, and when I launched it something odd happened: I was interacting with another application, and when Aperture started up it out up the main window and a dialog box popped up that asked "Would you like to..." with (presumably) Yes, No, OK, Cancel, or similar buttons. Unfortunately, it stole my mouse click from the other app and the dialog box vanished before I had a chance to read it, and so I have no idea what the question was or how I answered it. Aperture did not go off and do anything radical like convert my iPhoto library, so I guess it wasn't that, but I would like to know what it was I clicked.
Unfortunately, I can't repeat it since it appears to be a one-time question. Does anyone know what the dialog box asked? (It's not the second dialog box, which is whether I wanted to enable GPS geotagging.)

Thanks. On another forum, I have gotten two other answers: (1) whether I wanted to create an Aperture Library; and (2) whether I wanted to register Aperture.
All three are plausible - I guess it's not crucial what it was, but it would be nice to know.
(Weirdly, the forum software has lost my profile information and posting history & post count, and it populated the info box with "Model: PowerBook G4", which is about 3 machines back. What's up with that?)
