DNG preferences panel missing options

In the DNG preferences panel, version 5.4.0.57 only 3 options appear. Compatibility, Preview & Original Raw File, under Compatibility in custom settings I can check Linear & uncompressed but nowhere can I find "Image Conversion Method" or "Compression" check boxes. I have installed DNG converter on both my PC (XP-sp3) and my laptop (Vista 64bit) with identical results.
Where am I going wrong?
Some converted file receive a 1:3 compression others a 1:4 compression, what gives?
Regards Larry

You can still control exactly the same things you could before, just the UI has changed.
Linear is the conversion method option, with a different UI. No functionality has been lost.
Uncompressed is the compression option, with a different UI. No functionality has been lost.
The reason the compression and linear options have been moved to a custom dialog is very few users truly understood them, and many users would change their default values in ways that wasted disk space because they did not understand what they were doing or why they were doing it. Only in VERY rare use cases does is make any sense to use to custom compatibility option. The main compatibly version option does exactly what nearly all users need to do, when they want to create DNG files that are readable in older versions of Camera Raw.
Can you please explain exactly why you think you need to control the custom options?

Sharing Preferences panel missing

This is probably an old issue, I just can't seem to locate it here anywhere, and Googling only produces fixes I have already tried. Some of the Macs I support (all running 10.4.11) are missing the Sharing preferences panel in System Preferences. This would not be so bad--it doesn't seem to affect performance at all--but that I cannot re-name machines without access to that panel. I have installed the ARD client, installed the CD/DVD Sharing update, both of which seem to have fixed this in the past. Not now. What's up?

Hi jreyome, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Could be many things, but usually preventable and caused by pre-existing OS or Disk corruption...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.
May even need to do an Archive and Install if you have room on the HD, but saves all your files and gives a new OS...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.

Computer crashing and nvidia control panel missing options

Hey, I bought 2x msi gtx 970 and put them in sli mode. They worked fine for a while but yesterday I started having problems. I was playing shadow of mordor and suddenly my screen went black and my computer restarted. It worked fine afterwards tho. Then today I played some LoL and after playing for like 15 minutes or so it happened again. But now also after the computer restarted my nvidia control panel was missing options. There were only setup g-sync, set up stereostopic 3d and view rating for games. I'm not sure if this happened yesterday too. I tried reinstalling the drivers (tho I'm not 100% sure I did a perfectly clean install) and the options came back but the crash happened again and the options disappeared also again. I have 850w corsair tx850 so I think that should be enough power? My mobo is asus P8Z77V-Deluxe and cpu intel i7 3770k @ 4.3ghz. So what is the problem?
EDIT: after I restarted my computer again the options in the control panel reappeared
EDIT2: I ran furmark with both sli on and sli off for about 50 minutes and oddly enough my computer didn't crash. Everything ran well. Here's some statistics from sli: GPU1: 1316MHz @ 99% load, temp 80 C, voltage 1.193V, GPU2: started at 1303MHz and then dropped to 1277MHz @ 97% load, temp 62 C, voltage 1.206V. Another weird thing is that the crashes in lol kept happening even after this and always around 15-20 mins to the game. I would say it's an issue with lol but it happened once with shadow of mordor too. I haven't played any other games. Also it's weird that this started happening only recently, not from the beginning. I do recall downloading some update to geforce experience recently, don't know if that matters.
Also I'd like to know that are those temperatures normal for air cooling in sli and/or are they too high?
EDIT3: Just noticed that everytime I try to run pci-express render test on gpu-z my computer crashes instantly and apparently trying to run furmark now also crashes the computer

Hello,
Could you please be more accurate on your spec: >>Posting Guide<< RAM, frequencies, timings and so on.
Would be worth trying bit more powerful PSU. Not saying this one is insufficient, but it's always best to rule something out for 100% sure.
Remove OC from the CPU and RAM (RAM to be 1333MHz and CPU to run stock). Or try >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
Make sure that you're running latest BIOS for the motherboard <Contact ASUS about it>
Temps are completely fine for SLI on air. Top card always is much hotter than the other. However you could reapply thermal paste on both cards, run single card for 1h and record its temps, then do the same for the 2nd card (in single card mode so the other is out of the PC) and use the cooler one on top.
I feel so dumb right now. Seems like one power cord from the psu to my gpu wasn't properly attached and now that it's completely connected everything seems to work. I'll update this thread if that didn't fix the problem. But anyways thanks for your fast response

Magic Mouse preference panel missing

I just put a magic mouse into operation and while it is "working" it is not doing some things I want it to and I am unable to change any settings because the "Mouse" preference panel has not changed to a dedicated "Magic Mouse" pref panel. All the Mouse pref panel provides is what amounts to a demo of the features of a Magic Mouse. No customization is possible.
I've looked through other posting in this site to no avail. I have read about a conflict with something called USB Overdrive but I am not in possession of that.
Any suggestions?

Processor Preferences Panel...missing?

In 10.5, I used Onyx to activate the Processor Preferences pane in System Preferences. After upgrading to 10.6, it's not there anymore. Was this moved to a new location in Snow Leopard?
thanks...

Well, by the time I saw your last response, I was on the phone with Apple support. They had me login as root, and install the Processor Preferences pane under the super-user account.
When I did, it said that in order to use the Processor Pane it would first need to be installed, which it did. It's working now.
Well, there are two things.
First, it's 32-bit, so when I run it from the 64 bit preference panel, it would restart System Preferences using the 32-bit version. Apple suggested that I may want to do a 'Get Info' on the System Preferences app in the Applications directory and select the 32-bit version instead of the native 64-bit as the default.
One more thing - we couldn't figure out how to get the icon to display in the Menu Bar. Even if I check the option, it's ignored and will appear unset the next time the pane is opened. That's no a big deal for me. The important thing is that the CPU settings do work as expected.
Cheers...

Missing option in elements 12 ?

Hello,
I am following a photography class that requires photoshop elements 12.
I purchased it recently and in class yesterday it seemed there is an option missing...?
In expert it's supposed to be possible to go to:
- enhance
- adjust colours
- colour variations ('kleurvariaties' in dutch)
that last option seems to be missing?
We need it in class to create our own colour layers, in which it is also possible to create sepia and adjust it to our own preferences.
This option is in element 11, so why not in 12? Is it hidden somewhere else?
We checked every possibility and no one including the teacher can't find it anywhere, so it does seem to be missing?
I really hope you can help me, because i want to be able to follow the class as planned. Otherwise i seemed to better of with elements 11
Hope to get an answer that gives me some relieve of how to get this option!
Thank you...
Debby

If your class tutor is demonstrating 'colour variations' they're still on PSE11 or earlier. Or else they've not updated their training materials for the differences in PSE12.
Cheers,
Neale

System preferences panel under loepard 10.5.1

Some of my system preferences icons disappeared from the System preferences panel (personal / desktop & screen saver). How do I get them back?

Hello
Thanks! The problem (not its unidentified source) was solved by reinstalling the missing PreferencesPanes files with *Pacifist 2.5*: I extracted the /System/Library/PreferencePanes/ files from the Leopard install disk (very cool software! and no restart was needed to verify the success of the operation).
I did not try to look for the missing files with the following "+Search your Mac for preferencepane using CMD+F. Ensure that you select This Mac and File Name, change Kind to System files and change don't include to include.+"
which I did not understand or kow ow to...
Thanks a lot again,
ps I will post again if these files go missing again (just for info)

Working with Preference Panel

Has anyone been able to create and use a preference panel from the AIPreference Suite with CS2? I am able to successfully create a preference panel with the AddPreferencePanel method. This inserts a preference menu item into the preferences menu. The user can also click on my option and see my preference controls in the Illustrator preference window.
The problem is that I can't seem to access any of the controls. There is a function to get the ADM item associated with my preference panel. If I call this function before the preference panel has been shown, then it returns NULL. If I call it after the preference panel has been shown, then it returns an ADMItemRef of type "ADM Item Group Type". If I call either sADMItem->GetDialog or sADMItem->GetChildItem on the item it gives me back, then I again get NULL.
My second thought, since the AddPreferencePanel call takes a dialog, was to initialize the items on my dialog independently. This was also a dead end.
Any pointers on how to access the controls on my preference panel?

You have two possible routes.
Set them as Chapters and iDVD will give you almost what you want.
Better divide them into 4 separate iMovie projects then in iDVD select an appropriate theme and place the four iMovie projects on the screen and they will appear as four buttons and in viewing the DVD you click on the one you want.

Export Configurations is disabled in Network Preferences panel...

In 10.5.8, I want to export the current network configuration to a file for later import/restoration. Within the services menu, "Import Configurations" is enabled, but "Export Configurations" is dimmed. The Network Preferences Panel is unlocked, and I am the admin user.
What am I missing?
Thanks...

More info...
I am booting 10.5.8 from an external drive that was in this machine at one time.
If I boot to the current drive (10.6.2), then "Export Configurations" is enabled.
I want to grab the network configuration I had on 10.5 and import it into 10.6.2.
Thanks.

Hello, I am doing a layout in arabic language, and I am missing option of change direction in paragraph. I read on forum that I am supposed to download some kind of an plug in or version of indesign for arabic language support, but I just don't know what

Hello, I am doing a layout in arabic language, and I am missing option of change direction in paragraph. I read on forum that I am supposed to download some kind of an plug in or version of indesign for arabic language support, but I just don't know what to download.
Can you tell me step by step what to do and download.
Thank you very much!

InDesign is from a technical viewpoint a Plugin Activator.
Every function is a plugin.
With CC and higher you can change the language in the CC app preferences.
When you change the language, additonal plugins, necessary for that language are installed, with the MENA (Middle East North Africa) versions RTL functionality is added into your primary version.
InDesign chooses to start the program in the same language as you OS is set up, RTL functionality appears translated into your normal User Interface.
After installing a MENA version you can switch back to your main language.

Preferences are missing from Time Machine,how can I fix this?

Please don't SHOUT!
We're all users here and you'll get more help if you give us some coherrent information.
Firstly, do you have an external Hard Drive connected to use for your Time Machine backup?
Secondly "stacks" is not a programme; it's one method of presenting folder icons in the dock, and is accessed from the 'view options' choice which appears if you click on the folder. Right-clicking the folder will go straight to the options menu.

JAVA Webstart preferences panel doesn't show

Hello,
I am running on Windows 2000 and I have installed JAVA Webstart including JRE 1.3.1_01. After the installation I have added 'javaws.cfg.proxy.setting=NONE' into my javaws.cfg file, which enabled me to finally start the JAVA Webstart application manager. But- I can't get the preferences panel to show up? When I click on the preferences- tab basically nothing happens!
I have already tried to deinstall WebStart and install it again, but this didn't solve the problem. Is anybody out there, who had this problem as well and knows how to solve it?

Hello,
I have now been able to add an entry to the 'javaws.cfg' files (javaws.cfg.showConsole=true), which now brings up the JAVA Console. When I now press the 'preferences' options to bring up the JAVAWS preferences panel, I get the following errors displayed:

System preference panel empty

Hello,
My system preference panel is empty except for "flip for mac"... not sure when that happened but it's recent, bought this new MBP15" two weeks ago.
I noticed the problem when I tried entering the Time Machine preferences through its top panel icon and this message came up: "Impossible to install the Time Machine preference" as it is installed already. MacOSX includes the Preferences window, which cannot be replaced"
Tried accessing general system preferences throughthe Apple menu and I get a window with only "FlipForMac"
help please

Thank you Robin your detailed reply helped me to recover most of my pref panes which went missing slmehow. I could see them under another user, so you pointed me in exactly the direction I needed.
Great suggestion

Print & fax (system preference panel) reset?

Hello,
I can't print. I'm running out of options.
As part of the troubleshooting, I have removed the printer (reset the printing system…) from the system preference panel.
When I re-enter the printer, I get the same (false) "out of toner" message when I want to print.
Is there another cache or preference panel in the system that I can trash to reset the printer (yellow toner) fuel gague?
The "out of toner message" is sticky. The cartridge is new and I have removed and reentered the printer a few times.
Is there a plist or something that will regenerate itself when I reinstall the printer on AirPort?
Must I reboot between reset and reenter?

The issue is being caused by SNMP status information. We had devices that were using an EFI "Fiery" controller and they were experiencing the same issue after the Mac to 10.6.8. Following is the information that EFI released in a technical bulltetin. Depending on what printer you have, the following may be of some help.
EFI Tech Ticker Alert June 27, 2011
After installing the OSX 10.6.8 update, the printer shows status as paused and will not resume. Note not all Fiery printers are affected with this new Apple update. We are looking for a resolution to this from Apple.
For users who are seeing this problem in the field and can't wait for a fix from Apple, there is a workaround that can be made in the CUPS filter. This workaround deactivates some status information from the printer to the print driver but still enables printing.
If your Fiery printer has this issue follow the short term workaround solution below.
This workaround consists of adding a *cupsSNMPSupplies: False line to a ppd file in the /etc/cups/ppd folder.
You’ll need administrative privileges to perform this workaround. Detailed steps are outlined below.
For this example we will use ColorPrinter as the name of the printer affected by the 10.6.8 update.
1. From the Finder menu choose Go, then Go to Folder...
2. Enter /etc/cups/ppd in the Go to Folder dialog box and choose Go.
3. Find the ppd named ColorPrinter.ppd. (This is the same name as the ColorPrinter in Print and Fax with a .ppd extension. )
4. Drag the ColorPrinter.ppd to the Desktop.
5. Open the ColorPrinter.ppd with TextEdit.
6. At the end of the PPD add the following line exactly as written: *cupsSNMPSupplies: False
7. Save the modified ColorPrinter.ppd to the Desktop.
8. From the /etc/cups/ppd folder, move the original ColorPrinter.ppd to the trash. Authenticate when prompted. 9. Drag the modified ColorPrinter.ppd from the Desktop to the /etc/cups/ppd folder. Authenticate when prompted.
10. Printing should now work as expected. (You may have to start the print queue if it was previously paused.)
