How do I fix lost presets and non-working scripts?

About two weeks ago I attempted to use a curves preset (CS5 up to date) and discovered that the choices had disappeared and all I was left with was default and custom.I found that this applied to all other presets. 6 hours on the phone with Adobe tech support has yielded no solutions. They had me deinstall and reinstall the program - TWICE - along with the preferences and that did not work. The problem exists with both my CS4 and CS5 versions - on my desktop computer only. Whatever is causing the problem does not affect the presets in Lightroom 3.
I also noticed that my automate functions - like photo merge and script functions like image processor are not working either. When I try to use them I get a dialogue box that reads: JavaScript code was missing. I suggested this might be the problem to Adobe Tech Support and they offered no help. Trying to get to a senior level tech has also been fruitless.
I called Apple. Since the issue is either a CS5 or JavaScript issue. No help there.
I looked into CS5 and found a javascript debug for CS5, I tried running that, but I really don't know how to deal with it. It didn't work either. If someone can get me off this treadmill, I would be ever thankful. If you can respond to my email after posting the answer here for others to absorb, that would be great.

Solution found.
It seems the problem stemmed from my renaming my hard drives a few weeks ago as I was reorganizing my data. I named my primary drive Apps/Data ...
Adobe had put out this advisory a few months ago. When I asked the senior support tech why no one down the line, in the seven hours I spent talking to support knew about this, he said it was because most people do not rename their hard drive. There are 4 solutions offered, it was the very first one that solved the problem.
Errors occur when using scripts such as Merge to HDR Pro and Image Processor | Bridge CS5 and Photoshop CS5
Solution 1: Make sure that the hard disk on which Photoshop CS5 is installed does not have the name of a folder that is specific to operating system functionality, such as "Applications" or "Users." Rename hard disk to a non-conflicting name.

Whenever I go to iTunes with my iPod 5th generation 32 gb iPod Touch, running iOS 8.0.2, It tells me that the "Other" category is using up 14.59 gb of data. I have no clue why it says this and I have searched the internet for fixes and none worked.

Whenever I go to iTunes with my iPod 5th generation 32 gb iPod Touch, running iOS 8.0.2, It tells me that the "Other" category is using up 14.59 gb of data. I have no clue why it says this and I have searched the internet for fixes and none worked. I have tried on a windows and a mac and noticed no change. I have tried restoring to a backup but that didn't help. I haven't had time to do a full restore but I will try if the problem persists.

An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.

Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

All of my purchased apps (games) and apps such as Weight Watchers, Facebook, WeatherBug, Sports and Pinterest, Notes, Nook, etc. are all locked up. They simply flash, then nothing! How can I fix this to make them work again.

First Issue: All of my purchased apps (games) and apps such as Weight Watchers, Facebook, WeatherBug, Sports and Pinterest, Notes, Nook, etc. are all locked up. They simply flash, then nothing! How can I fix this to make them work again? If I have to delete the purchased apps, will they still be in iTunes, or will I have to re-purchase them?
Second Issue: When I synced to my desktop (Windows XP) All my photos loaded onto my iPad2. I don't really want all 3000 + pics on my ipad!! How do I get them off? Next time I synced, they loaded again! Now I have so many duplicates! How do I get rid of the photos and prevent this from happening again?

If none of your third-party apps are working, but the Apple built-in ones are ok, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted. In terms of re-downloading apps then you can do so as long as they are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
For synced photos, then with the iPad connected to and selected on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, then on the Photos tab on the right-hand side you can control which photos are synced to the iPad : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236 . If you don't want any photos to be synced then try selecting just an empty folder.

Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

I installed iOS 7 and it deleted some of my contacts, as expected, so I just resaved them all. There's one particular number that will save but in my messages, it shows up as the number instead of the name saved. How do I fix it? And why is it doing that?

I had this problem too, I fixed it by going to my settings and under general at the bottom there is a reset option, go there. One of the options should be reset network settings, select that one. I’m not sure why it happens but that worked for me; hope you have the same luck!

How do I retrieve lost notes and pictures

How do I retrieve lost notes and pictures

Not sure about pictures, but for iphone notes:
After many hours of trying everything to retrieve my lost notes (several just disappeared overnight for no reason) it dawned on me that they were linked to one of my email accounts (In my case yahoo).
I logged into that account directly from the yahoo site (not iphone mail!) and "Voila!" all of my notes, even the disappeared ones, were there!
Took some cut & pasting and I'm back in business.
Hope this helps.

Way 1. Recover Deleted Text Messages on iPhone with Backups
1) Recover lost files on iPhone from iTunes Backup
As you know, every time you sync your iPhone with iTunes, it will automatically make a backup of your iPhone contents including photos, SMS, reminders, contacts and more. Step 1. Launch iTunes and connect your iPhone to your computer. Step 2. Choose "Recover form Backup" option. Step 3. Select a backup you need. If you don't know which one to choose, you'd better choose the latest backup. Step 4. Click "Start Scan". Step 5. Preview contents in details and select lost files you need. Step 6. Click "Recover".
2) Recover Deleted documents on iPhone from iCloud Backup
You should make sure that you have backup in iCloud before recovery. Go to Settings < iCloud. Log in to your Apple ID and toggle the Contacts switch from ON to OFF. Then turn it ON and choose Merge on the pop-up message. Then all contacts in the iCloud backup are back to your iPhone 4S.
Way 2. Recover Deleted files on iPhone without Backups
While if you don’t have any backup files in iTunes or iCloud, the unique way is to recover with iPhone Data Recovery. Step 1. Connect your iPhone to the computer and Run the software. Step 2. Click "Start Scan" > Scan data on your iPhone quickly. Step 3. Preview and select lost files you need. Step 4. Click "Recover" to recover them.

Reboot the computer then try placing the iPod in Recovery mode and then restoring via iTunes.
Next try DFU mode.

Completely frustrated with downloan not working and deleting and attempting to reinstall resulting in three different accounts on my computer and none working.

I downloaded Firefox mobile to my Droid. Connected to computer and followed instructions, using code provided on phone. Did not work. I tried to re-sync phone. It didn't work. I deleted Firefox on phone and reinstalled app. The connected phone to computer to re-sync. Could not get anything to work using"I have an account" tab so opened up another sync account. It didn't work. I deleted app again and tried again and used a third sync account to sync phone with computer. I got nowhere. Completely frustrated with three sync accounts and none working.
Need help to delete all accounts and start over. Can't seem to find a way to do this.
Thanks in advance.

Colin,
I tried this (opening in Photoshop CS5 and resaving as jpg) as you mention:
The remedy to this problem has usually been to open the image (the one that is having an identity crisis) in Photoshop or another image editor, and simply resave it. You don't need to edit it or rename it or anything--just open and resave.
Re-imported and it does work fix (I get picture1 and picture2 instead of just picture1 for all pictures).
Having said that, I looked at all the file properties I could for:
picture1.jpg (original)
picture1.jpg (resaved in CS5)
To see what changed. All are properties are identical (color depth, pixel size, etc.) except that resaved image is ~20% larger (I saved max file size jpg in CS5).
So original is ~6MB
resaved jpg is ~8MB
So the question - why can't CS5 premiere import these directly (with resaving?) and what is working with the resave that locks up the first time?
These pictures are straight from a Canon 50D, with no editing or resaving - dumped off camera to computer. I can reproduce this error 100% of the time (new project, new folder, import 2 pics) so it isn't something goofy with the way I'm importing - 100% how premiere is handling this.
Very disappointed that I now need to open/resave/rerender each of ~1100 images to simply use them. Given that these jpgs are being produced by a mainstream camera with support image format.
Any thoughts?

I have an iphone 5. Speaker works but I cannot hear through the apple earbuds. Tried multiple earbuds and none work. But they work in our other iphone 5. Has anyone been able to resolve this without pursuing a replacement ? If so what was the fix?

You're not using a supported carrier. What did you think Apple was going to tell you?
As fizzDripper suggests, contact the SIM card provider. How to make an unsupported SIM work on your phone is not Apple's problem.

Calculate Date/Time Difference in a Calculated Column Omitting Weekends, Holidays and Non-Working Hours

I am looking for a formula to use in a calculated column that calculates the difference between two date/time fields while excluding weekends, holidays and non-working hours
6/1/2010 9:43 AM - 6/7/2010 1:45 PM
Here is the closest that I have gotten; however, this formula gives me a result of 96:
=IF(AND((WEEKDAY([Resolved Date],2))<(WEEKDAY(Created,2)),((WEEKDAY(Created,2))-(WEEKDAY([Resolved Date],2)))>1),(((DATEDIF(Created,[Resolved Date],"D")))-(FLOOR((DATEDIF(Created,[Resolved Date],"D")+1)/7,1))-3),(((DATEDIF(Created,[Resolved Date],"D")))-(FLOOR((DATEDIF(Created,[Resolved
Date],"D")+1)/7,1)*2))*24)
Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated!

I don't know how to exclude holidays but i exclude weekends(Sat&Sun)-
IF(ISERROR(DATEDIF([Start Date],[End Date],”d”)),””,(DATEDIF([Start Date],[End Date],”d”))+1-INT(DATEDIF([Start Date],[End Date],”d”)/7)*2-IF((WEEKDAY([End Date])-WEEKDAY([Start
Date]))<0,2,0)-IF(OR(AND(WEEKDAY([End Date])=7,WEEKDAY([Start Date])=7),AND(WEEKDAY([End Date])=1,WEEKDAY([Start Date])=1)),1,0)-IF(AND(WEEKDAY([Start Date])=1,(WEEKDAY([End Date])-WEEKDAY([Start Date]))>0),1,0)-IF(AND(NOT(WEEKDAY([Start Date])=7),WEEKDAY([End
Date])=7),1,0))
-Thanks

Adobe Captivate 7 Project How to make Rollover cations, audio, and video work in HTML format?

Honestly, I don't even know why this is an option. The conversion to Flash is completely unusable.
I have exported some things to Flash, and since I program in Flash all the time I was able to manipulate to work to some degree. Most text captions are built with multiple elements and completely fall apart.
Sorry, I can't be of more help.
