"Disk Utility has lost its connection with the Disk Management Tool and cannot continue. Please quit and relaunch Disk Utility." Trying to format my iomega external HD for use with Mac

Hi. Trying to connect iomega ext. HD. i have to reformat for Mac. When i plug in & go to Disk Utility,the external shows up and i'm supposed to click "partition". When i do, a box comes up saying ""Disk Utility has lost its connection with the Disk Management Tool and cannot continue. Please quit and relaunch Disk Utility." I quit and relaunched, same results. After googling my question, i came up with this:
"Disk Utility has lost its connection with the Disk Management Tool and cannot continue. Please quit and relaunch Disk Utility."
(Quitting and reopening Disk Utility does not help.)
The following also appears in Console log:
*** malloc[419]: Deallocation of a pointer not malloced: 0x290a410; This could be a double free(), or free() called with the middle of an allocated block; Try setting environment variable MallocHelp to see tools to help debug : for architecture i386 object: ./Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/MacOS/iTunes malformed object (unknown flavor for flavor number 0 in LC_UNIXTHREAD command 27 can't byte swap it)
Workaround
Quit Disk Utility.
From the Finder's Go menu, choose Go to Folder....
Type the following, then click OK: /Library/Receipts
Temporarily remove these iTunes receipts from /Library/Receipts (sort the folder alphabetically as a list):
iTunes.pkg
iTunes4.pkg
You can put them on the desktop, for example. Do not remove iTunesX.pkg or iTunes Phone Driver.pkg.
Open Disk Utility and repair disk permissions again.
Quit Disk Utility.
Put the removed iTunes receipts back in /Library/Receipts.
Note: This issue does not affect Disk Utility's verify or repair disk features.
All seemed good, for a moment, until, upon going back to Disk Utility after removing itunes4.pkg and putting on desktop (i did not have itunes.pkg to remove) the same thing was happening. When i highlite my iomega ext. on left of page, disk perrmissions is grayed and does not allow me to click on it. Same problem from the start. Can somebody please help me out here? That would soooo awesome. Thanx!

i'm just scared i will do something wrong on my own and lose my data.
You shouldn't be scared of that, because you should already have backups. If you don't have backups, then backing up is the first priority.
Insert the Snow Leopard DVD and restart. When you hear the chime, hold down the C key and keep holding it until the Apple logo appears on the display. You should now see the language selection screen. Select your language, then choose Utilities > Disk Utility from the menu bar. In the Disk Utility window, select the external drive (not the internal). The drive may already have a data partition, in which case there will be another icon below the drive icon. Choose the drive icon, then select the Partition tab. Create a single partition with the default options (GUID partition table, Mac OS X Extended Journaled).
When the partitioning is done, select the startup volume on your internal drive in the DU window. Select the Restore tab. Drag the icon of the startup volume to the "Source" field. Then drag the icon of the newly-created volume on the external drive to the "Destination" field. Make sure you have this right. Then click the Restore button, and the data on your startup volume will be copied to the external drive.

Spot healing brush with content aware or proximity match?

I want to do the following:
1. get rid of wrinkles, blemishes and dark circles under the eyes
What is the difference between using the content aware option and the proximity match option with the spot healing brush? Aren't they both blending surrounding pixels to get rid of the blemishes, wrinkles and dark circles?
Thanks.

Proximity Match is how the Healing Brush works, it takes the surrounding pixels and blends them together with the underlying stuff. Content Aware on the other hand tries to recreate the texture based on the surrounding pixels so it doesn't blend with the pixels that you just painted over. Try both, see which one produces better results for you.

Content aware has gone from the healing tool option bar

Help the content aware box has gone from the healing tool option bar, so has proximity match & create texture. I have tried resetting tool, which didn't work, but don't know what else to try. I am new to photoshop

I think you want the Spot Healing Brush for those options.
What version of photoshop?

Yahoo mail tool bar (delete,more,spam,etc) not working in firefox.Works in Explorer.Web points to Mozilla update."Plug-ins" up to date. Solutions?

Yahoo mail tool bar (delete,more,spam,etc) not working in firefox.Works in Explorer.Web search points to Mozilla update problem."Plug-ins" up to date. Solutions?
I've used firefox for years now with out problems. Now that help is needed, Could you make this any more frustrating? I thought I was asking Mozilla help and I'm sent to "users". I went there 1st! there are similar questions but no answers. I've lost time and data. Is there any REAL PEOPLE to help with firefox problems?

I'm a real person, thanks.
If you mean, does Mozilla have paid staff you could phone or email, the answer is "No."
Is the problem with a feature of the Yahoo! mail web page itself, or the Yahoo! toolbar?
General advice:
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* (menu bar) Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* click the padlock or globe icon in the address bar > More Information > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
Could you test in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
''If Firefox is not running:'' Hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox.
''If Firefox is running:'' You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
and OK the restart.
''Both scenarios:'' A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Refresh).
Any difference in how Yahoo! works?

Audigy SE lost its applications in Windows 7

,Audigy SE lost its applications in Windows 7vHello, folks. I upgraded my OS to Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bits and My Audigy SE lost its applications, such as Graphic Equalizer, Surround Mixer, Speaker Settings and etc. The OS does not recognize these functions when I try to open them. I installed all the drivers available for Windows 7 and I just have a very basic adjust and that?s it. The sound card is also crashing my OS. I had to uninstall it and remove the sound card. And I work with these features, so I had to go back to my old rig with XP.
Now I wonder? Windows advisor said that my Audigy was ok to run in Windows 7. What is happening and what can I do to have the equalizer and the whole thing working properly? Does this happen with all models? Creative doesn?t have a real Windows 7 compatible sound card? They just run with a basic setup fix?
I appreciate any response,?

I just forgot something!
The Audigy budget line (SE/LS/Value) do have the EAX Console! These card are the only Audigy card with the EAX Console, if my information is correct. Got my info from:
<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://tweakers.net/productreview/27856/creative-audigy-se.html"]http://tweakers.net/productreview/27856/creative-audigy-se.html[/url]
It is Dutch.
In that review, the reviewer is saying that he likes the EAX Console with the Audigy SE card, and also mentions that he runs Windows 7 when making the review....So, it looks like these card do have the full EAX Console, if the screenshot is correct.
What may be the problem is that you downloaded the latest version of the driver. In the README of the latest, there is no reference to the EAX Console application, BUT the previous onse DOES!!
Just search for the following file on the Creative support site at:
<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://support.creative.com/Downloads/searchdownloads.aspx"]http://support.creative.com/Downloads/searchdownloads.aspx[/url]
SB24_VTDRV_LB__04_0077.exe
Also, would you be so kind to let me know if this driver release DOES contain the Eax Console. I know someone that is desperately searching for it on his new Windows 7 machine.

Iphoto 08 image corruption- Spot heal tool

I have retouched a batch of tiff photos using the Spot healing tool. I was perfectly happy with the quality of the edit as i saved them. On reopening the images later i noticed that there are blurred/distorted marks all over the images. I can revert to the original images and undo all corruptions, including retouch edits. Again i have retouched the images and again the same problem occurs.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

hannick:
Make sure you're running the latest Quicktime version. Also run Disk Utility and verify your HD. If repairs are indicated you'll need to boot into the system install disk and run Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

My itunes recently lost its library for no apparent reason.

My itunes recently lost its library for no apparent reason. The only library backup is an old one that does not reflect my current iPhone, and I do not want to have to re-input all the lyrics for the music I have imported in that time. Does itunes not automatically create a backup of its libraries? Is there anyway to copy this information off the iPhone?
I'm okay to simply drag all my music into a new itunes library, I don't want to go through the process of editing each individual file again, whether its cutting certain start/stop times, or inputting the lyrics for every single song...
Any ideas? I've tried googling a solution for hours. I even tried to system restore. This morning when opening Itunes, it simply told me that it could not locate a library, please select a library.

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

New LR5 healing tool a retrograde step?

Lightroom 5: all good except for the healing tool. Unless I misuderstand.
While it is more flexible, it is much slower to use: in particular, you cannot in one click and drag choose
where to fix
and where from
while viewing the results.
All in one click and drag!
That now takes multiple steps:
Click on the error
Uncrop, often (the auto-sample is taken often from outside the crop!)
Now click on the circle, and then SHIFT-DRAG.
That seems very much a retrograde step, one wghich will definitely cost me hours of lost productivity. A shoot edit, maybe 3 hours in the past, will take me four hours this way. 33% less productivity after an upgrade?
Please tell me I am mistaken and there is a way to drop a circle and drag to a sampling poiunt all in one action as before.

LR Not Responding Message - Healing Tool

Well I had a picture with lots of dust spots and used the heal tool to tackle these, there were over a dozen or more dust spots and LR locked up with the "program is not responding message"
The more I tried to do the longer it took, then it hung up.
Guess it chewed up my 3.5Gb of RAM and then gave up. Restarted LR and tried again and again and locked up. If you keep your healing to a few dust spots it works fine.
Somebody on this forum suggested a possible cause was "memory leak"
Win XP SP2

Yes it seems that this tool in particular overloads the RAM.
i had a 60 or so series of images with about 100 spots (dont ask!) ad when i applied the healing to one it slowed things down significantly, but when i sync this setting to all 60 the computer crashed. i restarted LR and when i went into the folder with the 60 images the program went into meltdown, taking 3 minutes to shift from one photo to another. as soon as i left this folder into a folder without these changes, it ran super fast.
adobe needs to correct this or its functionality is pointless.

LR 5 spot removal/heal tool does not show the selected area

A week back I installed LR 5 on my 15-inch Retina MBP. My laptop has ample hardware to run LR5. The problem I faced was with the spot removal/heal tool. It goes like below.
I selected the Spot removal tool and set the mode to HEAL and then selected an area on my image. In many tutorials I saw the selected area is shown as a circle with white border with an arrow pointing to another circle. But in my case, its all invisible. Same issue happened when I selected CLONE mode. I am attaching a video to demonstrate the issue.
Could someone help me to understand what is going on? I am new to LR, but I like the software and want to invest time and money in it. However, with such issues I am little panic and not sure if this software is worth of those investments.
Thank you all.

Patch tool, healing tool

My patch tool will not preview when I click and move it over to another area and when I release nothing changes. I do not know what is going wrong. The healing tool will not pull images from any other area to correct blemishes. PLEASE HELP

I'll give you a little trick as you can see the preview of the are you are patching it is possible to do a patch clone sort to speak.
it works like this.
http://mysite.verizon.net/wzphoto/patch.mov
if the angle of the clothes do not match you can copy a section and paste and then rotate the section to match and use it as the source for
the patch tool.
BTW the idea is that you have to include the contrasting areas so the do not cause a blending. even if the darker area needs no repair.

Xfce4 applications lost its connection to display

Hi, I was using arch with xfce4 with no problem at all... but today xfce4 seems to have very strange problems...
As usual I logged in and give the startx command, well this time xfce starts loading but after this i've only a black screen with mouse pointer....
I thought it was an X server problem, but blackbox works fine... Then I discovered that xfce is running but not showing anything, if i tape ALT+F2 xfrun4 starts and I can start any applications I want (as the browser I'm using now) including xfce4 application like xfce4-panel or xfce4-session , that didn't start before as usual...
So the problem seems to be that the DE can't initialize it's services, but it sounds strange 'cause before I never had any problems, and I don't remember if I upgraded somethingh during laste working session...
Xorg log in /var/log seems to be useless, so I post my ~/.xsession-errors:

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
