File Dialog disappears in OSX 10.9 Mavericks (CS6 11.0.3.6)

Recently updated to Mavericks and whenever I open the file dialog to either open an existing AE CS6 project or save a new project, the dialog appears for a moment and then vanishes as if dismissed before I can interact with it. I applied the 11.0.3.6 patch but that doesn't seem to help. I also tried updating, then removing the NVidia CUDA drivers.

This didn't help. I did "chmod -R a+w /Users/myname/Library/Preferences/Adobe" and I also tried renaming the Adobe preferences folder. Any other common problems? Has anybody else seen this behavior with the CS6 file picker in Mavericks?

After clicking "Save" in "Save as" file dialog, the dialog disappears but no download is started. Is this a Windows 7 64 bit issue? It works fine in Windows XP.

I am trying to download the iTunes installer for Windows 7 64 bit.
I have "Always ask me where to save files" checked in Firefox's download options.
Steps to reproduce the problem:
1) In the iTunes download page I click the "Download now" link and Firefox shows me a "Opening iTunes64Setup.exe" dialog with a "Save File" button.
2) I click the "Save File" button. Sometimes the dialog disappears but nothing else happens. Other times I get the Windows 7 "Save as" dialog.
3) I click the "Save" button in the save file dialog (I'm using the default user documents folder). The dialog disappears and nothing happens.
If I uncheck "Always ask me where to save files" then the download works fine.
I also have a Windows XP 32 bit with the same configuration where everything works fine which makes me think that this problem only happens in Windows 7 or in the 64 bit version.

It is possible that anti-virus software is corrupting downloaded files or is otherwise interfering with downloading files.
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

File dialog box slow in Mavericks

Running 10.9.2
Any application that tries to open the Finder file dialog box stops responding for 20-60 seconds and then recovers and opens the file dialog box. Automator, Mail, Preview, etc. all show this behavior.
I've tried the suggestion to modify the auto_master file, no help.
I've reloaded Mavericks, which fixed the problem for a few minutes, then it came back.
It's killing my productivity. Any thoughts?

Thanks.
This you have already mentioned in your first post... now my question is how you've actually figured it out... or can you share your code here???

Open File dialogs often empty in Mavericks

Since upgrading to Mavericks I've often had problems with the Open File dialog. Often when I select a folder in any Open File dialog in any application, no files show up. This is also true when for example I try and export a photo from iPhoto. The File dialog asking me to select the location to place the photo does not show the contents of existing folders. So once I select the computers hard drive, I can't select a folder or a folder inside a folder to place the photo.
Eventually if I cancel the operation and keep trying, the Open File dialog will work.
This is but one of the many slowdowns I'm experiencing with Mavericks. In general, this has not been a pleasant upgrade, and I have a MacBook pro which is only a year old. At times it seems as slow as a computer from the 1980s.

Working workaround:
Use the following statements in Terminal.
sudo vi /etc/auto_master
In this file comment out /net with # (#/net .....)
sudo automount -vc
Fixed.

I can't print CS5 files from my Mac OSX (Mavericks). Can print from other applications. Help please?

I can't print CS5 files from my Mac OSX (Mavericks). CS5 crashes when sent to print. Can print from other applications (Word, etc.).

I just tried installing them. I got the message that "Some updates failed to install" (including for CS5), to quit and try again. I was curious and tried again to print and lo and behold, I could print! I'm still nervous that not everything installed and wonder how to get a complete install.

File dialog crashes LabVIEW 2014 on Mac OSX Yosemite

I know that Mac OS 10.10 (Yosemite) is not technically supported by LabVIEW 2014. If that's the only answer to this question, then so be it.
The following causes LabVIEW 2014 to crash on Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite):
1. Run the native File Dialog in LabVIEW 2014 (Express VI) , using "New or Existing File" as the selection mode
2. Select "New File..." when the file dialog appears
3. Enter anything as the file name and click OK
4. LabVIEW either crashes immediately, or hangs indefinitely and must be force quit.
Is there an update for LV 2014 (and the RTE) that does support Yosemite?
This bug makes deploying apps to the Mac basically impossible, Yosemite is the latest OS. Does anyone have a workaround for the issue?
Thanks.

LabVIEW 2014 SP1 seems to solve that problem here on my Mac OSX 10.10 system.
Now Apple may be nice for end users, but all those Apple fan boys sure would think a little different about it, if they had to write programs on the Mac. Apple keeps changing its APIs and their behaviour continously, inventing new APIs (which is fine) in a rapid pace, only to depreciate and remove older APIs at almost the same speeed!
Microsoft sometimes goes to the other extreme with maintaining backwards compatibility but working with Apple systems surely isn't easy as a programmer (unless maybe when one uses their high level click and point together web design applications, but I don't know that).

Downloads fail - File & Font sync disabled OSX Mavericks

this is more of a bug report than a question but im leaving it here for whoever can fix the problem.
I am running OSX 10.9 (mavericks) and everytime i open the Creative cloud desktop application, it says at the bottom "File and Font syncing is Off - Resume sync"
but when i resume, it takes a few seconds generally and then stops syncing and returns with that message again (also there is a pause icon on the cc menu bar icon)
and i now have an update for Flash professional CC, but whenever i try to update, it prompts me for my password, then after i type it in, after a few seconds it says "The update failed, the file appears to be corrupted, try again in a few minutes"
but it never works...
anyway! no other issues just wondering if there is a fix?
- Connor

Toggle_Norvell did you search the installation log for the word error? Which Flash Professional CC update exactly are you trying to apply? As a general suggestion you could remove your current installation, reinstall, and try applying the update again. Without knowing the exact error though you are facing it is difficult to determine if this will resolve your current difficulties or not. You may also want to review Installation failed. Error U44M1P7 | Updates - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-u44m1p7-installing-updates-ccm.html which discusses a common error received while applying updates.
For File sync difficulties you will need to work directly with our support team.

Files disappearing Mac OSX 10.8 Server

Files are randomly disappearing in volumes on our Mac mini running OSX 10.8.2 Server

I'm not 100 percent sure that users didn't delete these files, but it would have been an unlikely cooindidence. The files that disappeared were on different partitions of our server hard drive that are not commonly accessed by all users. So for two people to accidentally delete these files within a short period of time seems unlikely to me. Is there a section in the server log that would show if these files were deleted by a user?

Open file dialog box - Excel 2011

Not sure if this is the right forum to ask a question about running Office 2011 under Mavericks.
Since upgrading to OSX 10.9, something very odd seems to have happend to the open file dialog box in Excel. The list of the files in the current folder is displayed, but the filename column is really narrow showing just 7 characters of each name. In contrast the date modified column is incredibly wide. I can manually adjust the filename column to make it wider so I can read the filenames, but each time I reopen Excel it has defaulted back to being very narrow.
Does anyone know if there a preference setting somewhere that I can change in order to make the width default to something more readable so I don't have to manually change it every time I want to open a file. The Word and Powerpoint open dialog boxes appear normal, so the problem seems to be confined to Excel.
I had been running the same version of Office 2011 under Snow Leopard and the change to Excel only appeared after upgrading the OSX 10.9.

How to disable Open File dialog in Preview

After I upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite, Preview app started popping up the Open File dialog box every time I launch it. It used to just launch and do nothing.
Is there a way to prevent Preview in Yosemite to present the Open File dialog box to the user? I vaguely recall a "defaults write" kind of command that would disable this feature.
The use case this behavior is breaking is as follows:
1. Want to take a screenshot and save it to a file.
2. Press Cmd-Ctrl-Shift-4 to snap a screenshot and save it on the clipboard.
3. Cmd-Space to bring up Spotlight, type Preview and launch Preview
4. Cmd-N to instruct Preview to paste the contents of the clipboard to a new file.
With Yosemite, step-4 above breaks, since I have to hit Esc first to clear the dialog box.

Try this it will give the full directory structure.

Support for OSX 10.9 (Mavericks)?

Hi,
I gather that InCopy supports 10.6.8, 10.7 and 10.8. Is there any planned support for the new OSX 10.9 (Mavericks)?
InDesign already supports 10.9, so hopefully InCopy will also support it!
Regards,
Srijith

Thanks for the response. I am using CS6 (8.0.2). When I try to click on the icma files to open, I get a popup - Cannot open filename.icma If I drag and drop the file into an open InCopy window I get the popup
What could be going wrong? Would uninstall-install do any good?

Files have disappeared???

My daughter has a new 15" MacBook Pro. For one of her college classes she downloads ppt files and adds her own notes. She has about 12 of these on her computer and she has reviewed them regularly. Yesterday she went to look at them and she could only find 5 of them. 7 of them have disappeared. She is certain that she did not delete them. Does anyone have any ideas as to what could have happened to these files and if she can do anything to get them back. She does not have a Time Machine backup. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Rarely do files just disappear, there is a cause. If she remembers the name, she should use Spotlight (it's the magnifying glass in the upper right corner of the menu bar). Just type in the name of the file or any of its contents, and if it's on the Mac, it'll find it. If she accidentally put it in the trash, look there, because OSX doesn't empty the trash, until you tell it too (unless you set it up to automatically erase).
I'm guessing it's somewhere on the Mac. And it's time to have her set up a Time Machine backup. It is not intrusive (except for the first backup), and no files will go missing.

Export Error in LR 5.2 since update to OSX 10.9 Maverick!!

Hi all
i have a real problem with LR 5.2 since update to OSX 10.9. the Export function crash with a error. "Unable to Export"
This Error only occurs when i choose the Function: Export to: Choose folder later (useful for presets)
The same error occusrs when i choose the function "Open Catalog"
Always when LR call the Finder from OSX 10.9 the Function in LR crash.
under OSX 10.8.5, it never was a problem.
please i need help because without the export and the open catalog function LR is useless.
thanks for tipps an help
Cheers Tinu2808

Okay .. after EVERYTHING was working WELL I made the mistake of taking an ADOBE UPDATE to my Photoshop CC. Directly following THAT update (from ADOBE) both LR and PS fail as before. Since ONLY Adobe made changes to my computer, how can Apple be the culprit? As a matter of fact, even though my coverflow is NOT on, both LR and PS open their diaglogs in that view and I am unable to change that. Certainly my Adobe programs are revealing this issue. It sounds from your note above that Adobe is just treating it like an Apple issue.
Fortunately I did take a Time Machine backup BEFORE installing the Adobe updates so I can roll back.
UPDATE:
I opened InDesign and the open dialog opened in CoverFlow and failed. The next time I used the open dialog I quickly changed the view to details (InDesign runs a little slower so I was able to do that). Once I had changed the view, no problems .. all fixed (in InDesign)
Since I had successfully changed the view from CF to details in InDesign, I figured "maybe" all the adobe programs would recognize the change. I then successfully opened Photoshop, which now opens with the details view and is successful.
At least I know HOW to make it work if it gets messed up again .. which happens whenever I update an Adobe program.
My finder was in DETAIL view before and after my updates.
The ONLY place where coverflow showed up was in the Adobe programs.

How do I Import Mail Contacts from MS Outlook to Mac Mail? MacMini OSX 10.9 Mavericks

Hi I am using OSX 10.9 Mavericks. I have been trying to export my People Contcts list from MS Outlook to Mac Mail, can anyone help? Thanks

Ed,
the simplest solution is to convert your Outlook PST file to standard mbox files using Thunderbird - TB on the PC imports Outlook data just fine and - unlike the other proposed solution - is free. When you install TB on your PC for the first time, it will ask you to import your Outlook data.
Once you have all your mail messages in mbox format, you can import them into Mail. However, instead of using Mail's "Import" feature to do so, I would propose you use Eudora Mailbox Cleaner for this - the program can also import TB mailboxes to Apple Mail and will preserve all your message status flags (read, replied, ...):

Problems scanning HP PHOTOSMART 5520 with OSX 10.9 Mavericks

Hi,
I have recently download OS 10.9 Mavericks. And now HP PHOTOSMART 5520 SCAN is not working properly. In fact I cannot scan. I use the printer by wifi.
Do we need drivers for OSX 10.9 Mavericks?
Alberto Bermejo

I should be more clear. Scanning with HP Scan, I can scan and see a preview. I can save the file ONCE but the image or docuement is garbled when I open the saved file. If I try to save again using a different format (and a different name), I get the error:
"An error has occured saving the file because it could not be written to. Check the proerties for the file to make sure it is not read-only."
