How do I get purchased actions to work on CS6?

I am new to Photoshop. I purchased actions. I followed the directions to install it. The actions show up in my list, however, I can not get them to work. It doesnt allow me to click play on any of the new purcahased ones. I have Windows 8 operating system

I always tell my customers:
"Make the image you want to work on the current document, click once on the action name to highlight it, then click on the play button."
As implied by the posters above, be careful not to click on anything else.
Also, some actions call other actions in the same set.  Make sure you haven't changed the set name from what it was when you loaded the actions.

  • How do I get folder actions to work in Mavericks?

    Please forgive the cross-posting, but I really wasn't certain which forum would likely have the answer. I have enabled folder actions, attached my workflow, etc. but I CANNOT get the script to run when I drop a file in the folder. I know the script works if I run it by itself. Please help!

    Hi All,
    I have a related question, but no solution. For quite a while now I have had two scripts which worked together very well:
    Script 1: Attached to Folder 1 -- it was written so that any folder created inside Folder 1 would have a second script (Script 2) attached to it.
    Script 2: Did several things, including copying items to a different location.
    All this was working perfectly on my iMac. Now that it has been transferred to my MacBook Air, I can't get Script 2 to stick to the newly created folder. It sticks and works fine if I manually attach it to the new folder, but not when it's attached via Script #1.
    Again, this only seems to be a problem on the MacBook Air. Never before.
    Any help would be great. Thanks so much.

    this is my set of saved actions...i was told to paste it in here...is this what you ment?

    Who told you to post in the scripting forum…? To be honest you a talking to a pretty small selection of AI users here… Actions would be better discussed in the General Fourm where more users use them… That and I don't know a user who posts in this little community who uses CC yet…
    #target illustrator
    var aiActions = File( Folder.desktop + '/YourActionsNameHere.aia' );
    if ( aiActions.exists ) {
              app.loadAction( aiActions );
    } else {
              alert( 'Could NOT locate your Actions' );
    I've no idea if the above works Im using CS5 so can't test… You could try adding to a Startup Scripts folder in your app folder…

  • My Iphone keeps crashing since the new update.. how do I get my phone to work right

    My Iphone keeps crashing since the new update 7.1.. how do I get my phone to work right

    First, create a separate login on your computer for your friend. Do this BEFORE you do anything else. Next, make sure iTunes is up to date. Then:
    1. Disable auto sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected under Preferences>Devices in iTunes.
    2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in the supported applications(Address Book, iCal) on your computer. These entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
    3. Connect her phone, iTunes running, do not sync at this point.
    4. Store>Authorize this computer.
    5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on her phone will be in her itunes library).
    6. Right click in the device pane & select reset warnings.
    7. Right click again and select backup.
    8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
    9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore her itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding her contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
    You should be good to go.

  • How do I get my iPad to work. It won't slide to unlock

    How do I get my iPad to work. It won't slide to unlock

    Push harder! 
    Seriously...
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • How manage to get my apple TV2 working with a nas like buffalo live with iTunes server?

    i will probably buy a buffalo nas.

    ATV2 should browse shared iTunes libraries in the same network.
    Problem started when ATV only supports Apple home sharing.
    I agree it would be nice if it worked with these NAS based iTunes servers but it doesn't, so if that's a necessity you would be better off looking at a media player from someone else and not purchasing DRM protected incompatible content from iTunes.
    AppleTv 1 did not use home sharing and it didn't work with NAS itunes either.
    We really need an Apple branded NAS that could home share, either that or they need to license the technology to 3rd parties, but frankly I can't see either happening.
    Running a computer 24/7 is not ideal and one area where AppleTV1 was better in that you could store content on it's internal drive.

  • 'Renew your subscription' appears when using my CS6 program. How do I get my applications to work?

    I canceled my Creative Cloud subscription last year when I chose to purchase a copy of CS6. CS6 worked fine until I went to open up InDesign and a pop-up appeared saying 'Renew your subscription'. I do not wish to renew my Creative Cloud license, and I just want to use my CS6. Any help on how I can get my applications to work? I'm on a Mac, if that helps. Thank-you!

    I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the MacBook Pro and connected to the TVs Component and Audio in ports.

    Will not work.  To my knowledge, dual converting like that isn't supported.  The Mac must detect the connected video output device and that sort of info cannot be done across an analog component uni-directional connection.

  • I am trying to setup my ipad 2 but I can't get back to the wi-fi connections section.  How do I get there, nothing is working.

    I am trying to setup my ipad 2 but I can't get back to the wi-fi connections section.  How do I get there, nothing is working.

    The Wi-Fi connections section is in Settings > Wi-Fi
    If the home screen is not visible tap the Home button, the button on the front of your iPad that has the rounded square in it. Once you reach the Home screen swipe through the screen of apps until you find the Settings app. Tap Settings and go to Wi-Fi.
    If your iPad is completely non responsive, try a restart.
    Press and hold the Home button and the Sleep button simultaneously ignoring the red slider. Keep holding until the Aple logo appears and your iPad will restart.
    The sleep button is on the side of your iPad on the side opposite from the Home button.

  • The touch screen is not working when I am in the Music app of my iPod Touch.  How do I get it to begin working?  It just stopped today.

    The touch screen is not working when I am in the Music app of my iPod Touch.  How do I get it to begin working?  It just stopped today.
    Does anyone know what I can do?  I am unable to switch screens, and I can not see the track that is playing.  The only was I can switch between songs is to use the controls on my headphones.

    Try the stamdard fixes to rule out a software problem:
    - Reset. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

    Can you start Firefox in [[Safe mode]] ?
    You can also do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

  • How do I get iTunes 11 to work as the old iTunes did in this respect: after playing a song in one playlist, I click on another playlist, highlight a song, press play, and get the result of that song playing & that playlist continuing?

       How do I get iTunes 11 to work as the old iTunes did in this respect: after playing a song in one playlist, I click on another playlist, highlight a song, press play, and get the result of that song playing & that playlist continuing?  As it goes now, one clicks on the song in the new playlist where the arrow is and then chooses 'Play Song Next.'  So, it plays next, but then the song after that is back in the old playlist.  I want to use iTunes smoothly without the extra clicks I've had to do in order to get the playlist to continue.  This is music for background while I play the violin at restaurants, and extra clicks and hassle is quite unappreciated, especailly since it worked fine in the previous iTunes.
       Thanks.

    At the top of the playlist where it shows the playlist title and the number of songs, there are two icons. Click the "play" triangle to add the entire playlist to "Up Next", or the "shuffle" symbol to do the same thing but in random order. But the currently playing track will stop playing, and all the songs in "Up Next" will be removed (replaced by the ones from this playlist).
    If you hold down the "option" key while clicking those icons, the currently playing song will continue playing, and the new playlist will be added to "Up Next" (above the songs that were already there).
