"Ghost' file opening behind other files

Mac OS 10.7.3
After a few hours of working in CS6 I find that file opens behind the files that I'm currently working on.
This file always carries the name of a previously opened file, but it has no content; it has a white background but no layers - not even a background layer. No matter how many times I close it down, as soon as I start to work on another file it's back up again.

Sounds like it could be a GPU driver isssue.
Could you include your System Info from Photoshop's Help > System Info dialog box?
You could also try disabling OGL in the GPU preferences
Photoshop menu > Preferences > Performance
Uncheck "Use Graphics Processor"
Let us know how it goes!

External files opening behind the projector

I have used 'baOpenFile' function to open some external files
(pdf, pps etc). In most computers everything works great, but in
some computers the file opens behind the projector (which is in
full screen mode), and user doesn't see that the file has opened.
To solve this problem I have used
'baWindowToBack(baWinHandle())' to send the projector window back
before the external file opens. It works, but it's ugly solution
(especially if there's many windows open on desktop). Does anyone
know why external files open behind the projector, and is there a
better way to fix the problem than the one that I've used?

Instead of sending the Director window to the back, it may be
better to
bring the new window to the front. That will bypass the issue
of other
windows appearing over the Director window.
I do not know why this happens, and I have seen it in action
many times
myself. It is annoying, but easily worked around.

Whenever I open a file in Lion, other files of the same sort that I opened previously automatically open up. For example, if I open a .jpg file, numerous other .jpg files that I opened previously in the day open up. How do I prevent this from happening?

Dealing With The Resume Feature of Lion
Managing Mac OS X Lion's application resume feature.
If you shutdown your computer you should get a dialog asking if you want applications to resume on the next startup. Simply uncheck the box to prevent that from occurring. Open General preferences and uncheck the option to Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. You can also install a third-party utility to control resume features on individual applications: RestoreMeNot or Application State Cleaner.
It is possible to completely stop the Resume feature although I'm unconvinced that it is that annoying. Nevertheless see the following:
If you have not yet done so you must first make your /Home/Library/ folder visible. Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the prompt paste the following command line:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press RETURN. Quit the Terminal application.
In the Finder navigate to the /Home/Library/Saved Application State/ folder. Delete the contents of the folder. Back up to the /Home/Library/ folder. Select the Saved Application State folder. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Sharing and Permissions panel at the bottom click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window.
Quit all open programs except the Finder (this is very important.) Next, navigate to the /Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ folder. Look for a .plist file with "com.apple.loginwindow." in the file name followed by some numbers in hexadecimal. Select the file. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window and in the Sharing and Permissions panel click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window. If you also find a file with the same filename but with a last extension of ".lockfile," then you should delete it.
The above should eliminate the Resume feature system-wide. Note that any future system updates or upgrades will likely undo these changes. You will then need to repeat this procedure assuming there are no major changes in OS X related to it.

Launching Microsoft Access from Internet Explorer to view a downloaded MDB file opens the wrong file (not a problem if I use Firefox)

When clicking on a link (in Internet Explorer 9) to download an Access MDB file and then choosing to open the file directly in Microsoft Access (2007) instead of saving it, the file is copied to Temporary Internet Files but Microsoft Access tries to open
a different file and displays an (Unrecognized database format) error.
When I click on the option to open the file, the MDB file is copied to Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5 but instead of that file, Access tries to open a different (incorrect) file located in Temporary Internet Files\Content.MSO (e.g. in the above error
message, NativeView.do is an XML file containing an error message).
I don't see this problem with Word, Excel or PowerPoint files. When opening a Word file (without saving) the Word file is copied to Content.IE5 but an identical .tmp file is created in Content.MSO which when opened in Microsoft Word displayed the required file
correctly. The same happens for Excel files. PowerPoint appears to be handled a little differently (no .tmp file created in Content.MSO but the required file is still copied to Content.IE5) but the PPT file is still opened correctly in Microsoft PowerPoint.
I think the Content-Type "application/msaccess" is fine because Internet Explorer does launch Microsoft Access. It just tries to open the wrong file (or so I think). However, it looks like the file type is not being determined. Here is what I noticed
when trying to open different Microsoft Office files using Internet Explorer:
The last one is the MDB file. As you can see, only for this type of file, the "Type" (Microsoft Office Access 2007?) is not displayed in this Open/Save dialog box.
On Firefox, I don't see this problem. When I tried clicking on the link to the MDB file in Firefox, Microsoft Access was launched and the file was opened correctly. Is there something I can do so the MDB file is opened properly using IE? I can add/change headers
in the HTTP response that writes this file to the output stream (on disk) if that helps.
Thanks for your time!

Sounds like a problem symptom to be discussed in either an IE forum or an Access forum, not here. How did you come to post here? ForumsRedesign. That might be an on-topic issue for this forum. <eg>
Can you find your way to either of those other forums easily from here? Another on-topic question for here I think. ; )

EA1 - File Compare With Other File... Does Not Work

I open a file in the SQL Worksheet, select File > Compare With > Other File..., nothing happens! Is this part of the Version Control feature that is yet to be implemented?

I have it logged.

DVD-MOV mpegstream clip error: "File open error: unsupported file type"

I do it all the time this is the only time i've gotten this error, i use mpeg stream clip. I have a dvd I got from a DVR recorder, I open the dvd which shows 2 VOB files in the TS folder. the MENU gives "Warning: the stream may have timecode breaks." I "Fix Now" and it works fine. But i dont want the menu. the other VOB file in the TS folder, which should be the "movie I want" gives this error when opened,
"File open error: unsupported file type"
when I open anyway, I get an audio bar which has no sound, and no video.
ANY IDEAS? I've been on this for hours PLEASE

Hi,
Do you have the [MPEG-2 component|http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2> installed on your computer? If not, you will need it to be able to convert VOB files.

Opening a Numbers file opens all Numbers files

When I open a file created with Numbers 09, not only that file opens, but other (non-linked and unrelated) files I created with Numbers also open. Is there a way I can stop this and only open the files I want to work on? At about the same time this started, I also started getting an error message form, that doesn't have any content everytime I open Numbers. See enclosed image:
Appreciate any help or advice.
Thanks.

Thanks, Jerry.
I couldn't find anyplace in SystemsPref>Gen to cause files to close when I quit the app, but I did close the files one-by-one and when reopening the one I wanted found that only that one opened. So that did solve the problem for me.
But I'm still curious about the "Document Warning" window that doesn't show any warning. It obviously isn't related to the opening of the extraneous Numbers files, but does show up everytime I open any file in Numbers now.
Thanks for your help, Jerry!

Is there a way to compare the contents of a library by comparing itl files or some other files?

Is there a way to compare the contents of a library by comparing itl files or some other files?
I need to compare the contents of my current library to one that existed 2 months ago but ALL I have is the itl file from 2 months ago. Can this be done?

You are correct, many people have noticed over the years that Sound Check does not work as advertised.
A more effective approach is to treat the files with a 3rd party volume normalization program. Although I have not personally used it, many users on this Forum have reported good results from an inexpensive program called iVolume.

E-edition freezes up with 1A.pdf The max. number of files are already open no other files can be opened or printed until some are closed , showing four of five and computer froze any I must close by shutting down manually.

My online E-Edition newspaper will freeze up after loading the front page and gives me the message that the max. number of files are already open and no other files can be printed or opened until some are closed. 1A.pdf. When you click ok it repeats itself and you have to force shutdown by holding off button. I'm totally stumped.

I have read that "1000" is default maximum for Acrobat 4 or Acrobat 5 (I don't remmember it exactly anymore). Concerning my PC and RAM. I have a high-end graphical computer at my office; so I'm sure the RAM memory is not the reason.
Anyway, thanks for answer.

Unable to convert PDF files to any other file format using Acrobat XI Pro

Acrobat XI Pro ver11.0.2
Office 2013 Pro Plus
Windows 8 Pro
When I open a PDF file and try to export file to: Word, RTF, Excel, XML or PowerPoint, I woud receive the error below.
Save As failed to process this document. No file was created.
I recall in the past that I was able to export PDF to Excel & Word. I simply tried the other file formats to see what happens.
Unfortunately for me, this is happening to both of my machines. Same version software except the other machine is Windows 7 Pro. I have admin level rights to both PCs.
Not sure what to do at this point.
As another test, I did the following.
Created a document in Word, then saved as a PDF file. Opened that PDF file to save as a Word doc and I received the error listed above.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thank you

Thank you for the suggestions
"Created a document in Word, then saved as a PDF file. Opened that PDF file to save as a Word doc and I received the error listed above".
I used another machine. Created a Virtual Machine with Office 2013 and Acobat XI and I do not have issues with converting PDF to any of the available formats. Its not the file I'm using, its the software itself that is the issue.
Unfortunately, I did uninstall Office 2013 & Acrobat XI then reinstalled but I still have the problem so I can only guess once its broken in the registry, I will continue to have an issue.
For now, I'm going to move Acrobat XI on the VM since I dont have time to reinstall Windows 8.

File open error: unsupported file type Mpeg Streamclip

having a problem... I am using mpeg streamclip to convert vob files from a dvd. the problem is that the program says that the first vob file is an unsupported file type. I know that this is not true. The DVD plays, and the remaining vob files are opened and processed by the program correctly. Any advice or suggestions?

I am having the same problem. The first VOB file in the sequence will not open in either Streamclip or Quicktime. This is not the menu display image, but the first chunk of the video (the menu image actually will open). All the ones after it can be opened either individually or joined as a group.
The DVD plays fine on the mac and also in the regular DVD player. Any idea if this is perhaps some equipment fault when the DVD burner "finalizes" the disk? Am using a combo VHS/DVD-R unit. It is not super high-end, but then neither are these old home videos I'm converting.

.AI files opening as text files in illustrator.

I created two pieces of work last night, 2/4/15, using Adobe Illustrator and once completed I saved the files and haven't moved them from their original destination. I attempted to open the files today, 2/5/15, and have a pop up saying that it is opening the files as a text document and upon proceeding am met with a blank new document in the size of the file I had saved. A majority of previous files open with no problem and all have the same .ai extension and show the preview. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm not sure what caused this issue and I haven't run into in previously. Thank you.
I have attached photos of the screen that appears upon opening the .ai files in illustrator.

Hardy,
You may see whether the file size seems right.
You have already tried to create a new document and File>Place the corrupted one to see how much may be rescued that way.
You may also try to open the document with Adobe Acrobat, if it was saved with PDF Compatible file ticked, then save it as PDF and try to open that.
Here are some websites where you can see whether it can rescue the file, and if it can, you may pay for a subscription to have it done,

Music files turned to Other files, now can't play music? help

I ejected my ipod while i was importing a cd and then it restarted itself. now all my music (65 gb) has turned to 65 gbs of other files on my ipod, and it says i have no music on my ipod. What do i do? can i get the songs back, or do i have to restore my ipod and put all my back-up files on the ipod? i would much rather just get back my songs obciously but i dont know how. any suggestions?

Yeah...that happened to me too one time. I had to restore the ipod and it worked fine afterwards. I don't know if there's another solution but at least restoring it works.

MUSIC files stuck in OTHER FILES section

I used to be able to drag music files into the "music" drop down tab from the enabled iPod in iTunes. This would add music to the iPod.
I have JUST updated iTunes to the latest version at this time: 7.0.2.16
NOW when I drag music into the "music" drop down tab, iTunes adds the music into the "OTHER" section. In order for iTunes and my iPod to recognize the files as music, I have to add the music again but drag it to only the ACTUAL iPod tab.
Because Of this, I have many duplicates of music cds STUCK in the "OTHER" files space, which is taking up MUCH needed room.
I need help retrieving the unreachable MUSIC cds that are stuck in the "Other" section, so I can delete them and have the wasted space back. Please let me know if you know about any of this! Thanks!

Hi,
First please check if staging folder is large enough. A recommended size is 1.5x<size of your largest file in replication group>.
Also here is a tuning guide of DFSR. Please see if it could help:
