Anyone having problems getting Photoshop CC14 to work with Lightroom 5.5?

I installed Photoshop CC 2014, but Lightroom wouldn't export photos to it. Spent 3hours on the phone with Adobe support, they wiped all my Adobe apps without warning me and I lost all my presets. Was told higher level support would contact me - didn't happen. System still not fixed, even after an hour trying to get to the right person today. I've never had a problem installing before - anyone else having a similar issue? Who do I contact for better "customer service" (or does it exist)?

Hi David_B,
Thanks for your reply! I've installed PS many times (since version 3, I think), and nothing like this has ever happened. I use and teach PS and LR for a living. The tech person I spoke with told me it is not unusual to have this happen when upgrading to CC 2014.
What happened is that PS CC2014 would not open the image in PS if I used the Photo>Edit In>PS 2014 command unless I used Photo>Edit In>Open as Smart Object. Once opened as a smart object, PS would not save the file. I think it said Error 2.
The tech took control of my computer, removed PS and LR and all the associated files a few times. He told me I'd have to have a high level person help me, but they didn't call me, so I phoned in. After waiting an hour to get to the correct person (not a high level tech) he said he'd have to uninstall everything again and start over and that it would take over an hour. I don't have the time right now to fix it as I'm headed out of town until the end of the month to teach LR.
In the meantime, LR works, but I'm using a trial version that expires in 30 days. It exports to PS ok, but I had to reload all my plug-ins, and apparently LR can't find Photomatix. LR is not installed in my usual applications folder - the tech put it on my system backup drive.
My case number is: 185696477
Thanks so much for your willingness to help!

I am having problems gettting my mail to work ... Mac telling me that my start up disk id full and to delete some files to free up space ... have done this but when i open mail from the dock it just brings up the colour wheel and nothing happening

I am having problems gettting my mail to work ... Mac telling me that my start up disk id full and to delete some files to free up space ... have done this but when i open mail from the dock it just brings up the colour wheel and nothing happening ... it shows when you right click on the mail icon that " application not responding"

If your hard drive is getting full, you need to free up, at least, 20 GBs of space on your iMac's hard drive.
If your Mac is running a fairly recent version of OS X, here are some general guidelines.
Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Other things you can do to gain space.
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
When you install and launch it, let it run the automatic ans S.M,A.R.T. tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the tabs that have the ability to clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
Good Luck!

What monitors will work with the Power Mac G5?

If I got a new Power Mac, would I need to get a new monitor (Apple Display), too? I have a Dell 17" LCD monitor (VGA). Would this work with the Power Mac?
HP P4 1.8GHz Windows XP Pro

Yes. You'll need to use the included DVI to VGA adapter to connect the monitor.

HT3669 Hi I have a Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer. This works with my Windows-based Toshiba laptop but not with my i-Mac. Can someone please advise me how I get the printer to work with my i-Mac? I have installed it but documents don't print. Thanks

Hi I have a Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer. This works with my Windows-based Toshiba laptop but not with my i-Mac. I have the latest (Mountain Lion 10.8.2) OS-X software.
I have installed the printer using 'System Preferences' on my i-Mac and it appears on the list of available printers but documents that I create just don't print.
Can someone please advise me how I get the Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer to work with my i-Mac?
Thanks, John Lee

Looking at the Konica web site for the PagePro 1300W, I saw the following note.
Please note: This printer is designed to be used in computer operating systems running MS Windows only. Operating systems such as UNIX, Macintosh, or Linux are not supported nor do we have workaround drivers available. Older MS Windows versions, such as Windows 3.1/95/98[pre-SE] and NT 3.51/4.0, are not supported.
So KM are not going to help you. But the LinuxFoundation does provide a workaround that should allow you to print. Have a look at this web page. You will need to install all three packages as per the instructions from that page.

Sudden problem getting CD-LabelPrint to work with Canon ip5200R

The last time I successfully printed a disc label on my Canon ip5200R was in November last year - until then, I'd had no problems printing from a couple of different iMacs & my MacBook Air. I have recently tried to print a new label, but am receiving the message: "The Paper Settings are not correct. Please check the paper size, magnification ratio, and the paper orientation. To set the paper settings, please click on "Settings". To cancel printing, please click "Cancel"." All of my settings are correct! I used to get a message that advised me to check the "Quality & Media" settings, where I could make further adjustments (eg, tick "greyscale printing"), but I can no longer access this option.
A Google search revealed that others have had similar problems - solutions suggested included updating the software. I was using CD LabelPrint v.1.3. I have installed v.1.7, but the problem persists. (When I installed v.1.8, the message indicated that there was no printer installed that would work with the program!) (I uninstalled the previous versions correctly by deleting the folder from Applications as well as from Preferences in the Library.) I have attempted to print from 4 different Macs - three of them are running Mac OS 10.5.8 and one is running 10.4.11- no luck with any of them! The only change that is consistent between them since November last year is that they have all received software updates for their operating systems. I am wondering whether something in these updates is now interfering with CD LabelPrint?
I am frustrated with the amount of time this has taken so far, and so am hoping that someone will please be able to help me rectify the problem.

Hi there,
I have v1.60 of CD LabelPrint on my 10.5.8 VM and it is working fine. It also has all the Apple updates installed so I don't think this would be the cause.
I also have v1.80 on 10.6 and it is working fine as well.
The version 1.60 on 10.5.8 generates a pop-up as soon as the Print icon is pressed. This takes you to the Page Setup menu for CD LabelPrint to ensure you have the 'Format for' set to the iP5200R and the 'Paper Size' set to 'CD Tray C'. With these selected and the OK button pressed, the next warning window appears regarding the Quality & Media settings.
If you manually open Page Setup in your CD LabelPrint, does it have the iP5200R set as the printer and the CD Tray C set for the paper size?
Regarding the v1.8 and the error, this version was released to add support for Snow Leopard. Since you have to use the CUPS v10.26 driver on Snow Leopard (the v4.8.3 driver for Leopard cannot be used on SL) then maybe the same driver would have to be installed on Leopard in order for CD LabelPrint to function?

Having problem getting iPad 1 to sync with my PC

Having trouble getting the iPad my son in law gave me to sync with my PC

Jimhatl wrote:
This time it says it syncs in 3 steps, but nothing transfers from my PC - like contacts, bookmarks, etc - to the ipad.
Nothing at all? So you have apps or songs in iTunes that you used to sync to the old iPad? If so, did you try syncing them to the iPad that your son gave you?
Connect the iPad to your PC and let iTunes do its thing. After it "syncs", click on the iPad name under the devices heading in the left sidebar. If you don't see the sidebar, go to View>Show Sidebar from the iTunes menus at the top. Then click on the Info Tab at the top of the iTunes window on the right and see if the contacts and bookmarks are selected to sync. Do the same with all of the other tabs in iTunes....apps, music, photos...whatever you had been syncing to the old iPad.

Problem Getting HD Receiver to Work With PC

I just got a new HD Receiver and am trying to set up to work with my PC using Windows Media Center (Windows 7 64 bit).
None of the codes or options I have tried are working.
I am being asked
- How many digits to enter for a channel number (2, 3 or 4)
- Whether to enter OK after entering the channel number
I have tried with all options and setting up automatically, by choosing a manufacturer and code and by doing it manually by pressing every key on the remote and none work.
What should the remote code be for the Motorola QIP7100-1? I have tried entering every code available for Motorola and have also tried General Instrument codes based on advice from another posting.

Hi max7539! I recommend that you try setting up a new Wi-Fi connection to your phone on your camera from scratch, then see if the new app does not recognize the camera. After setting this up from scratch, does the Camera Connect app still not see the camera? If this is a time sensitive-matter, additional support options are available at Contact Us.

Having problems getting saved files in PS CS3 to show up in folders in Vista - help?

My sincerest apologies if this has floated across oyur screens before, but I don't seem to be pluggin in the correct set of keywrds to bring it up in the search if it has.
Here's my dilemma. I just bought a new computer which came preloaded with Vista, and uploaded my old copy of CS3 onto it. The program seems to be working fine, except that when I open a file in Photoshop and edit it, then save it in a new file (as I do for most of my photoshoots, etc), or even when I save it in the orignial folder, the new "saved" file will not show up in the Vista folder. If I go back to Photoshop and open the folder via File>Open, I can access all of my pictures, but to I cannot access them to upload to the internet, email, use in other programs, etc.
If I go into "Recently Changed Documents" I can find them, but they seem to be in a temp folder in the Adobe folders. But again, if I go back to Adobe, it says they are in the folder I put them in.
Any ideas what's going on here?
Thanks so much for any help you can offer,
Cass

They are hidden for whatever reason, either you have a permission problem or they are registered incorrectly with Explorer. Open the folder, then check Extras --> Folder Options. Disable the Hide System Files option and then the more generic Hidden Files section a little lower. If that reveals the files, it's time to check the File Types tab in the same panel and see, why it actually thinks your documents are system files. the simplest solution would be to remove the PSD association and then create it new, when you open a file wit6h a double-click. Of course al lthe above assumes that not some security tool or another application is "stealing" your file type associations. If you have such tools, checking their config may already solve the problems.

What apple Cinema display will work with a Power Mac G4 ?

In order to try and free up some workspace I'm thinking of getting rid of my 19" Formac CRT VDU and getting a flat panel display as there are several on eBay at the moment.
I have a Power Mac G4, model no. M5183 and according to some info I found on Apple's site about identifying your Mac I believe this version is known as 'Power Mac G4 Digital Audio' (the headphone and speaker sockets are aligned vertically on the top left corner of the back panel).
So basically, can I hook any of the cinema displays up to it and expect it to work (I appreciate I'll probably need a VGA / DVI converter) or is it not as simple as that ?
Many thanks for any assistance you can give ?

Do you need something that is good or just something to display basic video? Do you want new or used? The original Rage 128 cards that shipped in the AGP G4's can usually be found on ebay for around $5-10 in abundance. They are pretty much bottom of the line as of today's standards, but provide a VGA connection and display decent video. There are some different RAGE models, but the original model is 2x AGP and has 16 MB of RAM.
You may be intersted in this auction on ebay:

Problems getting Urban Airship to work with DPS

I am also having a problem with the Urban Airship push connector. My devices are registered correctly on Urabn Airship. I can send a test push notification from UA to my devices.
But I can't use the push connector to push. I am getting this error: "Error - could not connect to your UA account. Verify that credentials for application are correct."
My credentials seem to work, though, as my devices are registered with UA and also If am acces the UA service directly at https://go.urbanairship.com/api/device_tokens/ with my credentials, I can see my registered devices as well.
What could cause this problem?
I think it's somewhere near these lines in index.php of http://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalpublishingsuite/articles/urban-airship-as-dps-push-prov ider.html
$url = "https://go.urbanairship.com/api/device_tokens/";
                    $opts = array('http' =>
                    array(
                              'method' => 'GET',
                              'header' => 'Content-type: application/json',
                              'header' => "Authorization: Basic " . base64_encode("$user:$pass")
                    $context = stream_context_create($opts);
                    $result = @file_get_contents($url, false, $context);
Or does anyone else have this problem or maybe found a solution? Thank you very much in advance.

Okay,
I could solve this problem myself. As I remembered our provider/hoster doesn't allow fopen request as default. Yo I had to add a php.ini with the following content in the base directory:

Problem getting XA Datasources to work with Toplink inside Weblogic

I've set up the Weblogic datasource in toplink per the documentation/examples I found. I've included a stack trace of where things blow up. From your source code, it looks like the AbstractSynchronizationListener thinks that the unit of work is not active. Thanks in advance for any assistance. Mike

Hi Michael,
I will have to set things up again to try it. I've been in the middle of doing other development and haven't gotten back to the XA Driver attempts again. Can you send me an email where I can fire a note to you directly once I try this again? I will probably need to send you code, etc. Mine is [email protected]
As for your questions, let me address them below:
How are you using XA (e.g. are you talking to two different databases)? Are you using TopLink any differently (e.g. using SessionBroker)? Is your transaction being propagated to multiple servers? What exactly has changed, or have you simply started using a different driver/data source? (Sorry for all the questions, just want to try to hone in on what components we are looking at).
BTW, do transactions ever get started by the client and span multiple server requests?
1) Yep, I am reading from one database, and writing to the other. So its not a two phase commit right now, but we will have one in the future.
2) I'm not using your session broker. We have a framework, where we can get a client session from a named server session. This works pretty well for us. Right now, we are using the same framework to access two databases. I'm just not setting external tx control, session synchornization,etc
3) I can use the third party jdbc driver in a non-XA transaction. So it doesn't seem to be a property of the JDBC driver alone. It seems to be when I attempt to set things up in XA mode.
4) Transactions are controlled at the Session Bean level. They only last for one bean request.
If you have any cycles, I was wondering if you could try getting the XA transaction to work in your environment? I was using Net-Direct's driver, along with Weblogic 7.1 sp1, and Toplink 9.0.3.3 (Build 430). An example of how you got things to work may point out what is different about my useage....

Problem getting custom workflow to work with BPEL Worklist

I am currently working through the DocumentReviewWorklow custom workflow example in the Oracle Content Services 10g Custom Workflows document and cannot get the workflow to prompt approvers through the BPEL Worklist application that an action must be taken.
When I run the workflow, the process gets to the point of calling the TaskActionHandler and the approver is told that a process is pending their approval in the Content Services Console.
The following appears in the BPEL Process Manager when I Audit the workflow:
onMessage (137) - pending
[2006/03/20 08:57:42] Waiting for message from "TaskManagerService", operation is "onTaskSuspended".
onMessage (126) - pending

onMessage (118) - pending

onMessage (102) - pending

onAlarm (161) - pending

onAlarm (156) - pending
[2006/03/20 08:57:42] Alarm started. Alarm will go off at time "never".
onAlarm (151) - pending
[2006/03/20 08:57:42] Alarm started. Alarm will go off at time "never".
After a period of time, the workflow eventually times-out because it is neither approved or disapproved. I have got the other non-blocking custom workflow examples to work without any problems.

Thanks bnainani, you solved my problem!
Despite the fact that the approver's username is in the Oracle Collabortion Suite OID as all lower case letters (and you can still login to worklist with lower case letters), you were right in saying that you have to use all upper case letters when logging into the worklist application in order to see the pending tasks.
Just out of curiousity, do you have any idea why worklist requires upper case letters for the username?
