Help with the horizontal mask tool ,please?

I am still using the trial version of PSE 8. I have read the help section on creating & using the type mask tool. I also looked at the creating type mask tutorial. Hoewever, it does not work for me. I want to use a photo (like the zebra stripes in the tutorial). The font used in the tutorial is Stencil Std. and I don't have that one. I set the font size to 100, but what is typed isn't even close. The font style in the tutorial is set on bold. Mine is set on regular and I can't the menu to drop down to change it. What am I doing wrong?

You need to choose a really fat, chunky font, and set the size as large as it needs to be, which may be much bigger than 100 pts. Bold is available as a faux style via the options bar settings but it only appears in the menu if there is an actual bold font (in other words, if you are using a font which doesn't have a true bold style you may be able to fake it, but you won't see the name as myfont bold).

I need help with the roto brush tool, please?

whenever I go to roto brush my clip, I start off by making my first stroke. When I do this it changes the layer time, and it is not synced up any more. If I uncheck the render box it goes to the next frame. Whenever I make a stroke, it does not effect the frame I drew on, but the one after. Any help?

Here we go. I have AE CS6. I'm trying to roto scope a bit of footage that is easily longer than 30 seconds. I have windows 7. When I started out roto scoping, it worked fine. At one point I clicked page down and nothing happened. When I clicked it again it went to the next frame as it should have done. Then, when I tried to corrections to the roto scope, nothing happened. No matter where I drew, either using the foreground or background tool, you know the red dot or the green dot, nothing happened. When I push page down it goes to the next frame and everything I drew on the previous frame happened on that frame. Therfore, whenever I use the rotoscope, it is not working on the frame I am drawing on but the one after. When ever I check the render box the view is now the next frame, not the frame I am working on. When I recheck the render box it goes back to the previous frame that I was working in, but nothing was happening. I restarted the roto brush tool to see if that would help. When I make my original line for the foreground there is a short pause, then it acts like the brush should. I noticed in the time line that the layer I was working on sifted over a frame to the right. If I control+z it the history says undo layer time change.
Is that enough information to get some help?

Can you help with the moire adjustment tool in Camera Raw?

I have a file with a lot of moire on a child's dress and am having problems using camera raw moire adjustment tool.
I opened a jpeg file (not raw) in camera raw. When I use the moire adjustment brush - set to +100 - and click on the eyeglass tool in the window to see the effect - it shows a white overlay.
Clicking the preview button doesn't show up any difference.
I have saved several files as tests but the moire remains unaltered.
Any help appreciated. Or alternatively, suggestions on how to deal with Moire in Photoshop.
Thank you.

If possible deal with the moire issues up front. If you have original re-scan to see if you can reduce effect. If not do a web search for this. There are several tutorials listed such as http://photographylife.com/how-to-remove-moire-in-photoshop
Hope this helps.

I need help with the Xcode Dev tools!!!

So I recently got a new iMac and went to install the xcode dev tools on the app store but it only installed Xcode and no other dev tools. How to I get the whole Dev toolset????? I went to the the apple site and downloaded the diskimage and it was still just Xcode HELP PLEASE!!!!!!

I think your using a older version cause it no longer installs under /MacintoshHD/Developer it installs under /Applactions/Xcode as of Xcode 4.3.2
I know I am which is why my post said "If they haven't changed it from the ones for Snow Leopard...". I'm still using 10.6.5.

Need some help with the V.O. tool.

I am at a loss! I cannot get the headphones to work when using the vo tool. The guy doing the narration must be able to hear not only his voice, but also the tracks that are already in the timeline. I am taking the output of my mixer and going into the line in of the computer. The vo works...but no audio into the headsets. Also, I the beeps are recorded into the timeline. And to make things more confusing...It works on my macbook pro...although I am using the built in mic on the laptop. Shouldn't make a difference. I am lost. And...how do you target a different track in the vo tool? It always adds a track at the bottom. Say I want to target a portion of track one? It always adds a new track.
Anyway...any help and insight would be great.

I am taking the output of my mixer and going into the line in of the computer. The vo works...but no audio into the headsets
How are you monitoring the timeline audio? (Built-in speakers, External speakers, via Mixer etc)
Where are the headphones plugged in?
how do you target a different track in the vo tool? It always adds a track at the bottom. Say I want to target a portion of track one? It always adds a new track
the track targeting is handled the same way as usual (using source/destination targeting in the timeline's patchbay area) however if the targetted track already has content within the marked area, then the vo tool will insert the vo into a new track created immediately below the targetted one.
hope that helps

Help with the Lifedrive_Update 2.0 please

I remember that i have installed the update before and everything worked just fine and the device could make Java programs work... but recently after i had some problems and got some hard rests... and tried to restore everything using resco backup..... i couldn't get the java programs to work again... then i tried to install the update once again... it won't install and every time i do a hot-sync it says don't turn off because it's updating.. it takes 3 minutes then restart but nothing happens, every time the hot-sync starts it shows it's installing the files of the update... like i can't sync anymore....... please i need some help to make my LifeDrive run Java programs....
the Wifi version is 1.2.1
as i remember that the wifi version defines the software version...
thank you
Post relates to: LifeDrive

Restoring will erase the phone, put a new copy of iOS 6 on it and then give you the option to restore from an existing backup, if you have one. If iTunes is telling you that it detected your phone in recovery mode and you have to restore it, you don't have any choice but to do so. If in recovery mode it's too late to back it up now.

"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.

Need some help with the colour profile please. Urgent! Thanks

Dear all, I need help with the colour profile of my photoshop CS6.
I've taken a photo with my Canon DSLR. When I opened the raw with ACDSee, the colour looks perfectly ok.
So I go ahead and open in photoshop. I did nothing to the photo. It still looks ok
Then I'm prompt the Embedded Profile Mismatch error. I go ahead and choose Discard the embedded profile option
And the colour started to get messed up.
And the output is a total diasater
Put the above photo side by side with the raw, the red has became crimson!!
So I tried the other option, Use the embedded profile
The whole picture turns yellowish in Photoshop's interface
And the output is just the same as the third option.
Could someone please guide me how to fix this? Thank you.

I'm prompt the Embedded Profile Mismatch error. I go ahead and choose Discard the embedded profile option
always use the embedded profile when opening tagged images in Photoshop - at that point Photoshop will convert the source colors over to your monitor space correctly
if your colors are wrong at that point either your monitor profile is off, or your source colors are not what you think they are - if other apps are displaying correctly you most likely have either a defective monitor profile or source profile issues

Freezing, or crashing?
ID on the Mac can produce reports that may (or may not) prove helpful in diagnosing the problem. I suspect this is something not directly related to InDesign, and maybe not to any of the Adobe apps directly since you seem to be having a problem in more than one. That often inidcates a problem at the system level.
Nevertheless, it won't hurt to try to gather the reports. You'll find driections for how to generate them, and to post them on Pastebin.com (then put a link to them here) so we can see what's going on at Adobe Forums: InDesign CS5.5 Not Responding
Do you happen to run a font manager? If so, which one, and waht version?

Help with Adobe.premiere.elements12. Please
It would appear under the organizer tab that the photos are organised in the lowest folder in the folder structure within Windows Explorer. How can I use the Windows Explorer structure to organise the photos within Elements.

In a situation such as yours, I tend to consolidate items into folders so I have folders of nice workable numbers of images, somewhere between 20 and 200 images. Now, whatever, once you've imported, do your moving within LR, not the OS! I will select all in a folder and drag into a folder a level or two or three above, and then delete the newly empty subfolders. I hope this helps a bit!
Once you've reached just new Imports of camera output, you'll be flying along.

Help with the insert table/form tool in BIP 10.1.3.2.1

Hi, I'm trying to use the insert table/form tool in BIP, and running into some issues that I don't understand. First off, my data coming in looks like this (left column of tool):
Rowset
--- Row
------ Customer ID
------ Customer Name
------ Customer City
------ Product
------ Amount Sold
I would like the output to do the following:
a) have one page per customer. Customer should be determined by customer ID, and has attributes of customer ID, customer Name, Customer City
b) Show a table of all products and the total Amount Sold by product for that customer
c) Give a "grand total" for the customer
Can someone help with the steps needed to do this? I've tried several variations of the following without much luck:
1) Added Rowset and all children to the "Template" pane
2) Clicked on the "Row" group, and set Grouping = Customer ID, with a break of "New page per Element"
3) Clicked on the newly created (from step 2) Cust ID group, and set it to group by Product
4) Moved "amount sold" to be at same level as Product
5) Moved all of the customer attributes (name, address, etc.) to be at same level as Cust ID
6) On the Cust ID level, set the style to table
7) on row and rowset levels, set style to free form
This seems to be VERY close, except that it isn't creating a total amount for the sum of all products purchased by a customer. What do I need to do inside the tool to get a total per customer to show up?
Thanks in advance!
Scott
p.s. the final hierarchy in the template window looks like this:
Rowset (style = freeform, no grouping/sort by/breaks)
--- Row (style = freeform, group by customer ID, break new page per element)
------ Customer ID (style = table, group by product, no breaks)
--------- Product (nothing special)
--------- Amount Sold (calc for grouping = SUM)
------ Customer Name (nothing special)
------ Customer City (nothing special)
Thanks very much for the help!
Scott

To anyone else who sees this post, the answer is to do the following. Insert the Amount Sold field using the "Insert Field" tool, and set the function to sum, with the grouping checkbox turned on.
Thanks,
Scott

Use Internet Recovery. You shouldn't need an AppleID. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4718
Internet Recovery will install the OS that shipped with the Mac. You can then upgrade to Mavericks if that was not it.
Do you have an App Store account? Did you ever use it to install the OS?

I use free Yahoo mail webMail access because folders I created in webmail access doesn't get set up in Apple Mail. While I was searching for post about password and keychain issues, I stumbled on several threads that complain about Mail folder issues, so I'm holding off on Apple Mail.
On the password and keychain issue that your post is all about. I've been using login keychain to save and automatical fill my login screens for a year or so successfully, with Safari and Chrome. Automatic form fill also works for Facebook login. Unfortunately, about 4 to 6 months ago, automatic password form fill stopped working with Yahoo webmail, while still worked for GMail (Safari and Chrome). I tried deleting the password entry for my two Yahoo email accounts to start fresh, but neither Safari not Chrome will even ask me if I want to save the password. I was so frustrated that I eventually installed the keypassX 0.43 (password manager) that is quite primitive sompare to OS X's keychain (when it works). Probably no surprise to you yet.
The surprise, to me at least, is that, for whatever reason, password auto form-fill from keychain started working again for Yahoo webmail login on Safari about 5-7 days ago. Still doesn't work on Chrome!
Two tips I can share, at least with webmail access:
1. Password is save only for one of my yahoo mail accounts. When I login in with my other yahoo account, I get no prompt to save the password, and form fill doesn't work when I try to log in a second time with my other Yahoo mail account.
2. On inspection of my login keychain, I see a webform password item saved for my Yahoo account that works with keychain. The name of the password is: login.yahoo.com(MyAccountName1#). When I open the password item and look in the Access Control tab, I see Safari and Chome are listed as allowed to access this password item..
I also an "Internet password" item with a name of just login.yahoo.com. When I open the the password item, it looks just like the password item created for MyAccountName#1, but the MyAccountName#2 is listed in the Account field. Inside the Access Control tab, no apps are listed in access permission. I added Safari and Chrome to the lists of allowed app, saved the password item.
Now when I bring up the Yahoo login page(by bookmark) on Safari, form fill fills in MyAccountname#1 for name and the proper password and I can login in. When I change the name to MyAccountName#2, the correct password is retrieved and I can log in! Alas, it still doesn't work on Chrome.
BTW, I changed the password item type from "Internet password" to "Web Form password" and saw no difference! I also edited the name to be "login.yahoo.com (MyAccountName#2)" to look like the web form password item that works, but it has no effect either.
From my experimentation, here's my observation:
1. A Web Form password item is created for the first account name(MyAccountName#1) for login.yahoo.com and typed as Web Form password. When I log in using MyAccountName#2, an Internet Password is created, but no applications are listed as allowed to access the password item, even when the password item was created after just logged in and logged out to yahoo with the account name and password for MyAccountName#2.
2. Manually adding Safari as an app that is allowed to use the password item works. Doesn't work with Chrome!
The version of Safari I'm using is Version 5.1.7 (6534.57.2). My installed version of Chrome is Version 21.0.1180.79 beta.
