How do I prevent Lightroom from creating duplicates if the edit in photoshop is not saved?

Hello!
How do I prevent Lightroom from creating duplicates if the edit in photoshop is not saved?
So... Quite often I choose to 'Edit in photoshop' from Lightroom but then end up not saving the result. (for example, because I just wanted to experiment with the photo, or I'm not satisfied with the results)
However, Lightroom always creates a copy of the original photo, which stays in the catalog even if the photoshop changes aren't saved.
Is there a way to stop this, and only add a photo if it has been edited in PS?
Using LR5 with PS CS6 on a Mac 10.9
THANK YOU!

Select 'Open the Image in PS as a Smart Object'. The image will be rendered by ACR in memory without being written to disc until you save it from within PS.

How do I show my iCloud purchases in iTunes, but prevent it from showing duplicates of the songs I already have on my computer? There are duplicates of essentially everything! :(

How do I show my iCloud purchases in iTunes, but prevent it from showing duplicates of the songs I already have on my computer? There are duplicates of essentially everything!
I would like to show my available songs that I could download if I want, however the ones I've already downloaded to my computer are showing up still, which results in duplicates of everything (one on my computer, one in the cloud)

No.
Are the photos in an iTunes backup? If so then:
- You can restore another iPod touch, iPhne or iPad from that backup
- Extract the photos from that backup by

How do I prevent Firefox from switching me to the "working offline" mode in the midst of my online gaming?

I'll be on-line, playing a game or surfing the web and the next thing I know I don't have an internet connection. I click on "repair internet connection" and get the feedback, "unable to repair. I click on file and see that there is a check mark by 'work off-line' which I never checked. How can I prevent Firefox browser from automatically switching me over to the off-line mode whenever it feels like it. Very frustrating! Happens more than a few times a week but not every time Firefox is open.

Create a new Boolean pref with the name network.manage-offline-status and set the value to false.
Right-click on the about:config page to open the right-click context menu and use "New > Boolean" to create a new Boolean pref.
Name: <b>network.manage-offline-status</b>
Value: <b>false</b>

How do I prevent Acrobat from changing paths to linked files when a PDF is saved locally?

Hi,
I'm creating a PDF for internal company use. Each page will include a button to view a video; the videos themselves will be hosted on an internal network drive.
When I create the button in InDesign, I create an Open File action, browse to the video I want to link to, and it creates (what appears to be) an absolute path to the file. When I export to PDF, the path still appears to be absolute in the button properties, and if I open the PDF directly from its network location, the video button opens the video and works properly.
If the PDF is sent as an attachment or downloaded from the network and saved locally, however, the video links no longer work. The filepath in the button properties still appears to be absolute, but now points to a local folder ("C:\Users\...")
I need users to be able to download and save the PDF locally, but I don't want to embed a dozen videos, for obvious reasons. How can I ensure, then, that the filepaths to the videos are truly absolute and will consistently point to the network location no matter where/how the PDF is saved?

It is relative, but I don't want it to be. The problem is that I don't see any way in either Acrobat or InDesign to specify that it must be absolute.
It sounds like if I were to keep my working file on a local drive and export from there, it would automatically create an absolute link to the network path, but another designer is also working on the project and needs to be able to access the file. I could also copy the entire working folder to a local drive before exporting each time, or manually update the links in Acrobat from a local copy of the PDF after each export... but these both seem like ridiculous extra steps that shouldn't be necessary.
Is it really possible that neither program allows the user to control whether a link is relative or absolute? Should I post this in the InDesign forums, though the issue seems to be in Acrobat?

How can I prevent breadcrumbs from being used on the first page?

Hi,
I'm using the latest version of the technical communication suite to produce a WebHelp
layout from a framemaker book. Thanks to all the help I've received so far it's proceeding
well, although slowly.
II have an initia l'home' page, that isn't present in the TOC, just with a program logo, a company
logo and a helpdesk address. How can I stop breadcrumbs from appearing on this page?
I'm happy for this to be the Home page and to keep the word Home, and it is a separate
document in the linked framemaker book.
Has anyone got any ideas as to how I can do this?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best wishes,
Karen

Hi Karen
To each his or her own. Jeff's approach certainly will work but will require you to repeat the process each time you generate. With the approach I outlined you would only need to do things once.
As for the breadcrumbs not appearing at all, it depends on *WHERE* in the Master Page you elected to add them. In order for the approach I outlined to work, you need to ensure you add the placeholder *OUTSIDE* the Body placeholder. Then you should see breadcrumbs on the pages you have associated with the Master Page.
Cheers... Rick

How do I stop iTunes from creating duplicate entries and sub-folders?????

I am SOOO SICK AND TIRED of iTunes deciding to create sub-folders all the time. I just want to have one big folder and throw all my music into it. I have now spent several weeks trying to re-create my music library after my hard drive crashed, and iTunes keeps messing everything up.
If I let iTunes do what it wants, I end up with two or three copies of each song. If I try to consolidate my files by deleting extra copies of songs, suddenly iTunes can't "find" anything.
When I go looking for the "missing" songs, iTunes creates endless fractal layers of folders within folders.
I AM SICK OF THIS!
I AM ABOUT TO ABANDON ITUNES AND GO BACK TO WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER.

Why when you have a large number of files it is better to have them in sub-folders???
Unchecking both those options still doesn't stop Itunes from putting files in Artist and Album folders..
The problem I see with putting music files in folders is if you want to move them or change the file properties with just the Operating System they take longer to access. So quicktime seems like something I'd try but....
I'd like to have the option to have my files in one Folder/Directory.
iTunes really wants you to use iTunes to manage the iTunes library. If you use the operating system or third party tools to modify tags, iTunes won't detect the change until it has some reason to access the tag, e.g. during playback. In contrast WMP will sniff out changes in your tags and update itself automatically.
Once you've got your media in iTunes why do you need to access it again at the folder level? As it happens I'm quite obsesive over the structure of my files both logical and physical (see grouping & scripts) but I strongly recommend others to avoid the temptation to waste too much time over the physical layout and leave iTunes to get on with it...
Many other programs have offered choices for folder structure, invalid character replacement etc. over many years without iTunes joining in. I suspect that the developers of iTunes have long since decided that extra choice in this area isn't necessary since "it just works", though by all means drop a line to iTunes Feedback.

How do I prevent Photostream from creating empty projects?

With photostream on, it creates a project labelled "Nov 2011 Photo Stream" that is empty. I don't remember creating this project, but I can't swear that I didn't. I delete the project, but everytime I reopen Aperture, it is recreated. If I turn photostream off within Aperture, this behavior stops. Turn photostream back on in Aperture, the zombie project comes back.
How to stop this?

But why does it keep coming back? I understand if the current month is recreated again, but we are in January 2013 and I have Aug, Nov and Dec 2012 that keep reappearing, even though I've already moved the photos to other projects and deleted them.
I can only assume at this point its a bug, but do you have any other ideas on kiling it without having to disable the auto import?

How do I prevent CS4 from creating HTML files on export of an image?

Everytime I export an image i am getting a html file created too. It is annoying having to delete them manually every time, and there seems to be no option to turn this feature off.
Generally I dislike CS4 compared to Macromedia Fireworks v8.

You need to select "images only" in the dialogue box when you choose Export

How do i prevent lightroom from automatically applying a star rating to my images during my import?

i have consistently imported images, apply my metadata preset, location(folder).
i then scroll thru my filmstrip and apply star ratings.
suddenly my images are appearing with a one star rating automatically.
not sure why?

The first place to check is your Metadata Preset you are applying on/just after import. Is it applying the stars?

When I drag a link into a neighboring tab, how do I prevent Firefox from moving me into the new url?

When I drag a link from tab #1 into tab #2, (Firefox 3.6.6) my browser window automatically shifts to tab #2. I've noticed that dragging into the lower portion of neighboring tabs is supposed to prevent this, but it's hit-or-miss. How do I kill this "feature" so that I can simply drag and drop while staying on the original page?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Several versions ago.

No, you can't avoid that.
The purpose is that you can drag text or a link from one tab to a text area in another tab and to achieve that the tab must be opened and focused.

How can I prevent commas from being entered in the zip code field?

I tried entering the following validation on the Bill To Address field but it did not work. Not sure if it's because the address fields are grouped together.
NOT(InStr([<PrimaryBillToPostalCode>], ',') > 0 AND [<PrimaryBillToCountry>] = 'USA')

The Billing and Shipping fields are links to the address records in the adress table. Validation will not work on them. The only avenue that I can find to try to accomplish this would be to have workflow that monitors the address fields and takes action accordingly. That workflow can always set the Country to USA and it could also update the Address field or whatever field you are monitoring for commas.
Good Luck,
Thom

Each time I click on a link, firefox opens up the page in a new window, how do I prevent this from happening, ie. view the page in the current window?

Until I installed an Adobe update, my firefox worked fine, I have had to restore my computer and restart firefox due to advertising which was installed along with the update. Now each time I click on a webpage, a new tab opens and I can no longer view the webpage in the current tab. As you can tell, I am not that computer savy, but I have tried to change all the settings in the options and nothing has worked. I hope this makes sense, please help as it's driving me mad having all of these tabs.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

How to prevent users from creating transactional problems?

Dear Sirs...
Using JDeveloper 10.1.2 and ADF UIX technology. If i created a web application that contains many pages. Assume the application contains pages A,B,C,D.
The end user should access the pages A then B then C then D to get the transaction executed and commited correctly.
the problem is:
1- if a user navigates from A to B to C then he press the Back button to A then he commits the transaction, the data would be stored in correctly.
2- if page C requires some preparations in page B (initalization of session variables) and the user enters page A then he changes the URL to C, then this would cause inproper execution of application and so the data would be stored incorrectly.
so how can i prevent the user from pressing the back button of the browser (which i do not think is possible) or how can i prevent him from making any errors by inproper page navigation?
thanks for any help in advance and best regards

I really don't know if this is the correct way of doing it, but we prevent navigation directly to any page within our application if the HTTP Referer header is null. If it's null, we redirect to a page that says the user should use the navigation buttons provided and not enter the page via bookmarks, history, or direct navigation via a typed in URL.

Each song on my iTunes has a duplicate. How do I delete all duplicates and prevent this from happening again in the future?

Each song on my iTunes has a duplicate. How do I delete all duplicates and prevent this from happening again in the future?

After I had updated to Itunes 11 (also on Windows 7), I had the same experience, but I suspect that it was because I accepted a proposal to set up an external media library in order to simplify security backups. An associated result was that I had lost all of my playlists!
What I did was to restore the entire library off my Ipod, using a very good program called PodToPC (a free download is available) selecting an option to replace all of the stuff in the Itunes library. I use the Ipod Classic simply because it has a large capacity to hold my collection of CD and Vinyls. No way was I going to modify duplicates of 10000 tracks in 750 playslists by hand! I did have a few residual problems with some of the playlist specs but, after a few hours of work all was restored.
I hope this is useful.
