Help! Mac CS3 artboard missing

Hi!
When I start Photoshop CS3 on my Macbook Pro, the artboard is not there.
All the panels and task bars, etc... are, but the center where the artboard should be shows my computer's desktop.
This may be something simple, but I can't figure out how to fix it.
I have used older versions of Photoshop on PCs, but this is a brand new CS3, design standard, just shipped from Apple.
I had no problems with the installation.
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks!

New Mac user?
That's just how Macs work. There is no application frame in most Macintosh applications. Open a new document and you'll see the canvas and document.
CS4 added an application frame if you want one.

Where can I get help re: a file missing from Pages in iCloud?

Where can I get help re: a file missing from Pages in iCloud?

If the file was also on a mac, then there was a local copy of the file in ~/Library/Mobile Documents. If you use Time Machine or any other backup program on your computer, then try restoring the file(s). Similarly the same thing would be done on a PC, but I'm not sure where the icloud local copies are kept.

Pocket Mac vs. Missing Sync

Does anyone know which is better between Pocket Mac and the Missing Sync? I need a program to sync my Dell Axim X3 with my PowerBook G4.
Thanks for your help.

The first releases of PocketMac were buggy but using the current version I have had no problems (except that calendar items do not delete from my Windows Smartphone when they are deleted from the Mac). PocketMac no longer has an iSync conduit but does have a menu bar item. It also mounts the PocketPC 'drives' on the Mac desktop.
I have also tried MissingSync but at the time it was too expensive for me to just sync one device with. But is was very good software.

"Premiere Pro CS3" is missing some codecs!

Hi!
First of all, thanks for stoping by and read my post.
It's me first time ever using Premiere Pro CS3. I tried to some basic video editing on it, but I cannot hear any sound coming out of my laptop speakers; when i import the video clips. Even tho, I can hear them with "Windows Media Player". So, I investigated a bit and I did some of the things adviced by Adobe's knowledgebase thing.
And, I came up with a paper saying to download "MediaInfo" and "GSpot" to find out the codecs of the "mpg" files. Here is a report i made with the information given by those programs:

As you can see "Premiere Pro CS3" is missing some codecs, so my question is where can I download those?
I forgot to tell you, that I use a HP laptop Dual core Intel processor with Win Vista Home 2 GB of RAM and 160 GB of HD
Thanks in advance
P.S. I am attaching the Diagdx.txt, even tho I don't think has to necesary
P.S. 2. I just saw another post similar to this one, but it doesn't tell you how to make "Premiere Pro" get the audio to work in my clips and finished project

Most good file converters can handle Video and Audio. If you are having issues with the Audio, both Audition and SoundBooth can convert to almost anything and any sample rate and bit depth.
Here's a LINK to the PrPro Wiki. There are links to various aspects of conversion there.
Now, remember that when working FROM MPEG-2 and also AC3, the files are compressed to begin with. Quality will suffer, and there is only one way around that - go back to the original source files. If not possible, then you have to determine if the quality has suffered too much.
Good luck,
Hunt

Help Mac Help - "Discovering Your Mac" constantly reloads (flashing...)

The problem:
constant automatic repeated reload of help page
Navigating the Menu to Help > Help Mac gives the "Mac Help" page as expected.
On this page is a link "Work smart, play hard." headed "Discovering Your Mac".
Clicking this link the "Discovering Your Mac" help page appears but is in a state of constant automatic repeated reload (as if the menu View > Reload were being constantly selected).
This iBook G4 12" (MacOS X 10.4.4) is straight out of the Box purchased this week from Computerwarehouse.com.
Main Question:
Is this normal out of the box behaviour that just has to be patched or is this a fault that should prompt me to send back the iBook.
Background:
I bought a Mac for home use because I'm fed up with spending more time configuring Wintel PCs than using them.
Surely a Mac should not do this out of the box - or am I being hopelessly naive.
Comuterwarehouse’s solution:
Purchased from Computerwarehouse (thank god I didn’t buy from PC World).
Removed the cache folder “com.apple.helpui”. This didn’t work. There next suggestion is to update to 10.4.6. I am waiting to do this (they will post me CD since I’m on dialup at home and strict download restrictions at work). After this the suggestion is a complete reinstall.
See http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2598465 for original post
Have since updated to 10.4.6 using the combo update and the behaviour remains.
Do I realy need to reinstal - I have a funny feeling this behaviour will remain after a reinstall.
Any assistance greatly welcomed.
Thanks in advance.
Doug.

Have updated to 10.4.6
Looked at the troubleshooting HelpViewer link.
Been through as many options as seem related.
The iPhotoPhotocast.plugin is installed. Removing this and the cache files then restarting has no effect.
Have verified the disk.
But the MacHelp page does work when connected to the internet.
MacHelp.help does link to the internet so perhaps updates itself. Do help files update them selves, or is the extra content just held in a cache file somewhere?
What is the latest version of MacHelp.help?
I have version 3000.8 159.6 MB created 26 Aug 2005 23:47
It looks like this gets modified - last modified today 00:24.
How can i reload just this help file.
What is the current version of HelpViewer?
I have 3.0.0 (144.1)
Does help viewer get updated when you do an update? e.g. from 10.4.4 to 10.4.6.
Just noticed 10.4.7 now available - another 65MB download on dial up and Apple refuse to send it on a CD to me.
Would be intereseted in any answers on the help file version and how I get it.
Thanks
Doug.

I need help removing CS3 from Windows 7 so I can reinstall

I need help removing CS3 from Windows 7 so I can reinstall

Before trying to remove try re-installing CS3 right on top of the current install. Often re-installing Photoshop on top of itself fixes the install. If it does be sure to apply the cs3 updates.

Help menu "Search" box missing in Dreamweaver 5.5 for Mac

I've just upgraded from CS3 to CS5.5 on Mac OS 10.6.8 and am still finding my way around the new menus. The easiest way to find a menu command is usually to use the spotlight type "search" box that appears at the top of the help menu, which flags up exactly were each command is when you type in it's name. However, while the search box is there in my other CS5.5 applications it's missing from Dreamweaver. Can anyone tell me how to fix this?
I have tried the obvious things like repairing permissions and rebooting and have also got Spotlight to re-index my hard disk in case the fault lay there, but it didn't help.
Just to clarify, here's how the help menu looks in Dreamweaver with the "search" box missing.
And here's how the "search" box appears in the other CS5.5 applications.

You need to use F1 key to launch this window:

Fonts going missing mac cs3

hello,
i have been stuck with this problem for weeks now. i have a
number of fonts that have gone missing from the font list. I get
prompted upon opening files (that i previously built in fireworks)
that the font cannot be found and needs replaced.
i have uploaded a
screenshot of font book / the font in illy / the font not in
fireworks here
this happens with a number of fonts, not just the one in this
example. the font in question is installed in the users font
library and it makes no difference if i move it to the computers
library.
any help would be very much appreciated.
cheers

hi david,
Is it possible for you to share that particular font file
with us (if it's not proprietary)? We can also have a look and see
whats going wrong there. Also, are you using FWCS3 or CS4?

Need Help: PS CS3 on Intel Mac 10 .4.9 Cannot Open Any Files

CS3 has been very stable for me. All of a sudden it will not open any type of file. I get a spinning beach ball and need to force quit. I get the "Photoshop Not Responding" message in the Force Quit Window.
I've tried to open my own PS-made JPEGs and my own .PSD files with no luck. Happens whether I double click file or use open dialog. Tried files on different drives as well.
I've repaired permissions on the boot disk but no luck. I've got Disk warrior but I'm at work and it is home.
Any suggestions? I need to get a project finished here today.
TIA
Joe

I am able to set up a new account and work but even after deleting all preferences the problem persists in my admin account.
I'll try to look for any font corruption and clear font cache but having to reinstall the OS is a real drag. Not sure why PS should corrupt the OS, itself.
Any chance I can uninstall and remove PS then install again?

Please Help, Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3, Top tool bar disappears-File, Edit, View, ETC missing at full screen. How do I get it back?

When i have the window at full screen, my top portion of the tool bar dissapears. I have checked all settings but unable to get it back. What do I do? Thanks

The menu bar is hidden in fullscreen mode, as is the Dock (I assume that's what you mean by "the bottom toolbar"). That is normal, and that is how it has always worked for as long as fullscreen mode has existed (which isn't very long yet). If you want those things to remain visible, you have to exit fullscreen mode. Put your mouse at the top of the screen, so the menu bar appears, and then click the blue rectangle with arrows at the far right side of the menu bar.

Crop to Artboard missing in Illustrator CS6

Can anyone help me?
Illustrator CS3 had a feature that was "trim/crop to artboard" but I cannot find it now in CS6. So now when I save my work, it does not confine the save to the artboard but includes all the art on the file, messing up all the map work I have isolated with the artboard. The only thing close now is the "fit to artboard" which is exactly opposite of what I need and had in CS3. Am I missing something or somewhere?
HELP!

I have tried both ai and eps, and even when I export to jpg it is the entire map with the outline of the artboard showing where I want it to be but not cropped to that boundry.

CS3 deactivation missing

How can I move CS3 Design Standard license to another computer? There should be choice for deactivation in the help menu but it is missing.

Paul McNicol wrote:
I have left it on line for four hours this morning, and the deactivation option is still not visible. The Help menu still looks exactly the same as in my first post. I've attached a screenprint to this post, in case it jogs anyone's memory of something.
A possibly-relevant point is that the PC I am trying to do this on is NOT actually the selfsame PC where the licence was originally installed - it is another of the same make and model, on which I have installed a Ghost image of the original one. The original one was recycled to another user (without the Photoshop software) and I don't know where it is now. Does this licencing function check the MAC address or the Hard Drive or mobo ID or anything like that? The software is fully operational on this ghosted PC so it has not "noticed" anything wrong as far as I can tell.
Do I need to try and hunt down the actual original hardware?
Now you've changed the whole scenario.
Yes, the activation is tied to the hard drive where the software was installed!
Interesting that the ghosted version thinks it's legal!
BTW, it's better to post JPG screen shots via the little camera icon in the message box.
