File Info (Exif) window empty and locks CS4

Greetings. In Photoshop CS4, my File>Info window is now blank (empty) and modal, i.e., I must close Photoshop via Task Manager (Windows 7).

I appreciate it, Luanne! I'm hoping a full reinstall of CS4 won't be necessary!
Regards,
Steve

File Sharing between Windows PC and MacBook Pro using Internet Sharing

I have a MacBook Pro and a Dell Latitude D820 running Windows XP SP2 and I want to connect both using any of these two options. I do not have a wireless router and I use Sprint 3G data card to access internet.
1) I access the internet using a EVDO data card on my MAC and use Internet sharing to access the internet on my Dell laptop. How do I access the files on my PC from my MAC?
2) I can have two EVDO data cards to access the MAC and PC independently. How can I setup file sharing between Windows laptop and MAC?

How to copy the photo with file name at window 7 and search specific one in iphone 4s?

2) It would be equally helpful if there was something that would take the name of the picture file and spotlight comment, copy and paste it to a movie file's comments with the same name but obviously has different extention. For an example
In a Pictures folder

In a Movie Folder
Name: Dark Knight, The.m4v       Comment:                                               <- paste
and do this for all 700 files
This Bash script will do it.
Edit "PicDir" and "MovDir" to the location of your Folders
(Note: The comment is written to the m4v file using xattr, so the Spotlight comment field appears blank in Finder, but the comment metadata is still indexed by Spotlight (If you add a Spotlight comment from Finder, it is stored both as an extended attribute and in a .DS_Store file)
#!/bin/bash
PicDir=$HOME/Desktop/Pictures
MovDir=$HOME/Desktop/Movies
for f in $PicDir/*
do
     if [ ! -d "$f" -a "${f##*.}" == "jpeg" ]; then
          comment=$(mdls -raw -name kMDItemFinderComment "$f")
          if [[ $comment != "(null)" ]]; then
               picname=${f##*/}

Disable window resizing and lock them?

Is it possible through a prefernce or maybe an application to disable window resizing and lock their positions. I let my friends and family use my computer and they always move stuff around and resize everything. It really annoys me and I hate having to adjust everything to the way I like which I have spent hours setting up so they can just destory in a matter of seconds. I know I can setup a guest account but I don't have the memory or processing power for it since I usually have about 3-5 applications always open. I would also I like to steer clear from that route if possible. Thanks for any help on my issue! I did try searching to no avail however if this is already been discussed I appologize and a link to the discussion would be appreicated.

The setting up and use of a guest account will not affect the memory or processing power but will use some of the hard disk space depending on how much stuff you allow your guest user(s) to save.
You can easily set your favourite apps to load when you login again by clicking and holding on the app icon in the your Dock before you setup the new account - a pop menu appears. The advantage of having a separate account is that if you set it up as a non-administrator account the guests would not be able to screw up things too much, where as at present they could cause havoc.

Custom File Info-panel stays empty

Hi all!
I want to create my first custom File Info panel and I have trouble with it.
I use either a sample from the XMP-FileInfo-SDK-5.1 (e.g. "BasicControlSamplePanel") or even the "Generic" tool for simple XMP based panels.
I use Photoshop CS4 (on Mac OS X 10.6.4) and so I copy the panels to "~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/2.0/".
Now I look with Photoshop and I see the tab for the new panel but the content is empty...
Of course I did no modifications on the samples for my first try.
Any clues what's wrong here? I guess it may be a simple error because even the sample does not work...
TIA,
H.Sup
PS. I did also a test on Win XPwith the same result.

To answer my own question:
The documentation really sucks.
I found this reply from Adobe <http://forums.adobe.com/message/2540890#2540890>
usually we recommend to install custom panels into the "user" location at:
WINDOWS XP: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\2.0\panels\
WINDOWS VISTA: C\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\2.0\panels\
MAC OS: /user/username/Application Data/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/2.0/panels/
The reason why your panels did not work properly was a missing Flash trust file for that user location. Without such a trust file the embedded flash player refuses to "play" your custom panel.
Please see section "Trust files for custom panels" in the XMPFileInfo SDK Programmer's Guide on page 50 for all details on how to create such trust files.
After many wasted hours I have now the simple panels running.
Cheers,
H.Sup

Why does my pdf file open in 'windows picture and fax viewer'?

Anytime someone sends me a pdf file, when I click 'open', it automatically opens up my 'windows picture and fax viewer' and of course, I get nothing. So, in order to read a pdf file, I must first save it, then go into my Adobe Reader, and open it from there. Can anyone tell me how to change that? It's only happened since I upgraded Adobe Reader to 8.0. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Right click the pdf file and click on Properties. In the General tab click the Change button and associate the Adobe Reader 8 program to the pdf file. Click Ok, then Apply.
I assume the connection to this forum is that the pdf file is a Lighroom generated slideshow.

Appending Tiff files works on Windows 7 and Windows 2012 but doesn't work on Windows 2003 and Windows 2008

Please help me! The code below creates perfect output file son windows 7 and 2012 but on windows 2008 and win 2003 the generated images are corrupted without generating any exception during the process.
Both win 2008 and win 2003 are up to date. What do I have to install? Some hotfix? Please help me I'm stuck.
public void appendTiffs(string tiff1inputFilePath, string tiff2inputFilePath, string outputFilePath)

//Prepare encoders:

encoderParams.Param[1] = saveEncodeParam;
int numberOfPages = getNumberOfPages(tiff1inputFilePath);
MemoryStream byteStream;

Windows 7 and adobe cs4 "settings"

Had Windows 7 RC with cs4 and changed some settings and things were smooth, but now when I installed winows 7 and cs4 again and try to minimize a window, instead of the window being rolled up, you see the picture through windows areo menu bar.(see attached).
Any quick way to fix that?
Thanks in advance
U

Just got the latest ATI driver and what you see is from that, maybe I didnt make my initial post clear enough. What I want to happen in CS4 is to minimize a window, and have it set in the lower left of the program (like the image attached) but ROLLED UP, i do NOT want to see it "thru" the aero task bar, as I think a setting in CS4 needs to be checked somewhere.
CS4 work should be contained inside the CS4 program...not bleed out into windows
Normally in the past the minimized icon would set in lower left and roll up, to see it you would have to maximize in CS4.
Im stuck.....becuse I had this working fine with windows 7 RC 3 months ago, but cant remember what I done in CS4....
Is there any quick settings to make the program act and run like CS3?

Share files between PC Windows XP and Mac

I'm trying to share files between my mac and my spouse's PC.
I read the instructions at http://macs.about.com/od/macwindows/ss/sharemacfilesxp.htm . The instructions say that the Mac and PC need to be in the same ‘workgroup’ for file sharing to work.
My spouse's work PC does not have a workgroup selection. It only has a domain selection.
How can we share files over our network if no using a 'domain'?
I can enable filesharing from mac to mac but not from mac to pc.

Have music files from a windows PC and put them on a usb drive. how do I transfer them to the mac mini and iTunes?

Bought a mac mini and have music files from my old windows PC on a USB drive. need to know how to transfer all the music from the USB drive to itunes so I can sync them with my new ipod.

Choose Computer from the Finder's Go menu, double-click the icon for that drive, locate the song files, drag them to any location inside the Home entry, open iTunes, and drag them from there into it.

File names in Windows NT and UNIX

I have an application I made using Java 1.1.8 for AIX 4.2.1 ( IBMs UNIX). I develope on Windows NT using JDeveloper ( from Oracle). My problem is that I need to access files in my code. My code will run both on Windows and Unix, but the file directories are different. How can I access the same NAME of a file , which is in different directories on different Platforms. On the NT machine the file would be
c:\\temp\someFile.txt, but on my Unix machine it would be /users/xxx/test/someFile.txt.
Are there any ENVIRONMENTAL variables I can use?

Look at the documentation for system properties: [url http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/System.html#getProperties()]http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/System.html#getProperties()

File problems with Windows 7 and PS Touch on a GS4.

I'm using a Samsung GS4 and when I export a completed file from PS touch to my gallery in PNG format and then upload to my Windows 7 computer via dropbox they sometimes cannot be opened, does anyone know why? I'd be extremely grateful if anyone could shed some light on it.
Thanks in advance!

Could you please us send the png which cannot be opened?
We then will investigate.
Thanks!

My secure empty trash keeps stopping and saying 'I do not have permission to trash" I ahve checked the file info and there is no tick in the locked box also the files are from a memroy stick

My secure empty trash stops and will not let me empty the trash. It says; I do not have access to some of the items. I have clicked continue, but it will not empty them. I have tried looking at the files in the trash box and the file info does not have the "locked box" ticked. Any suggestions please.

Open Terminal.app(/Applications/Utilities/Terminal) and type
sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash
Be careful all of files in the trash are deleted with above command.
