How do I subtract the shape of a layer (a scanned shape) from my other layers - but when the shape hasn't been drawn in photoshop

Im trying to subtract a shape I have previously painted and scanned in from my other layers...can this be done?

If this is the effect you want, add a white bottom layer, and create a mask of the heart art to drop it out of image layers
or... do you want color only in the heat shape and the rest of the page white?

I created a multi-layered Photoshop file and the backgroud layer changed to gray and all other layers whacked out. I tried reopening it and restarting photoshop. What happened to my file?

Your file is most likely toast, but still:
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster).
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.

Why do my ATV's play music sourced from a computer OK but when the same computer plays the same library through Airplay to the same ATV's the streaming breaks down?

Does anyone know why my ATV's (connected to AV & hifi systems) can play music from a computer OK but when I try to use the same computer and library and play them through the same ATV's using Airplay the streaming often breaks down? Although I could live with the current situation I am missing the opportunity for simultaneous multi-zone playing with single volume control via the Remote App on my iPhoneS. Just find it curious as all the elements of the system are the same, ATV's, computer, router etc and would have expected the quality and efficiency to be the same under both modes of operation.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Yes, the quality and efficiency of the audio should be the same for both methods. The fact that it isn't may suggest that you have a problem on your network. Have you checked for interference.

Did you choose the wrong back up? There should be a drop box when you go to "Restore from Back up" in iTunes and your iPhone is plugged in, on the Summary page. Choose the correct back up. If you can't find one, and you still have your device, back up your iPhone 4 again and then choose that back up. Or check for an old iCloud back up if you have one.

I have the new iPad . I don't know how my sister's apple ID was set. I have all under my iTunes account but when i need to update my apps, a different apple ID come up! how do i change that?

Hi maggieanntb, your sister's Apple ID came up because an app(s) was downloaded using her account. To prevent that from happening, you would have to delete the app(s) that were downloaded on her's, and re-download them using your own Apple ID.

I want to upgrade iOS from 5 to 6, but when I go to synch everything in preparation, it tells me I will lose all my stuff on the iPhone and iPad which is unique. How can I backup or do a "real synch" (both sides have same data) and then upgrade?

You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

Disable your firewall and antivirus software, restart your iPad, quit iTunes, restart your computer and then try to update again.

I got a crash report that said the Flash plug in had crashed, but when the incident actually happened, the report said that "Silverlight" had crashed; how do I know where the problem is?

Sorry. The crash report actually said that Quick Time had crashed, not Flash, but at the time the crash actually happened, the message said that "Silverlight" had crashed. I just want to know how I can tell where the problem is so that I can try to fix it.

How can I delete an attachment from a received email but save the message?

Hi all, how can I delete an attachment from a received email but save the message?*

Over the years this issue crops up again and again. Here are the cases I know about:
Case 1 - it simply doesn't work
I have a message in my inbox with a jpeg of about 300Mb. Select message, choose option "remove attachment" which is not greyed out, and it does not work.
Case 2 - it works if you save the message first
I move the message from the inbox to a mail box. Open the mailbox (select), select the message, choose option "remove attachment", result: the attachment is removed, a small text file is added and an error appears in the message "missing plug-in". The message size is reduced from 300Mb to a few bytes.
Case 3 - the option "remove attachment" is greyed out.
I've googled this at least 10 times and read all the advice about editing various files from the library and all the other hacks. The simple truth here is that the user should not be inconvenienced by such inappropriate behaviour. We're not used to this from Apple any more, not since OS X. Even Windows does this stuff painlessly. In fact this kind of function is something that Outlook and Exchange do incredibly well. If they didn't the corporate world would have ground to a halt.
My point: the remove attachment option should work all the time and should be redesigned. Right-click + save as + delete in the message would be a hundred times easier.

You can load it from your iphone directly to facebook?

I know it sounds weird, and that is the reason I posted my question. Because my case is not like all the ones I've found online and it's confusing. I added a screen capture of my itunes with my old iphone (the one that houses my playlists) connected to it.
My playlists "ARE" in my iphone 4s. They are still there even though they do not show up when I plug in to itunes in my computer.
When connecting my phone to itunes on my macbook, the playlists do not appear anywhere in itunes. I have found my connected iphone icon, I have clicked on the arrow next to it and it does pull up the standard lists that come with the iphone/itunes: Music, Movies, TV shows, books. That's it! below that is "Genius" and below "Geniuns" is "PLAYLISTS" but the only playlist of mine that shows there is one that I created several years back titled "90's music" and that one I created it on my computer, not my phone. Under "90's music" there are also other standard playlists that itunes automatically adds.
Does anyone else have this issue or know how to get around this. I am starting to think that I am going to have to recreate these lists on my computer
