How does CS2 Photoshop use OSX to retrieve and save files?

CS2 Photoshop (PS) no longer will open or save files; instead it goes into limbo. I can import an image from the clipboard and edit it. It will save it, but I can't get PS back to working after that.
This began suddenly about 3 days ago. Since then I have cleared the PRAM, run TechTool and optimized the drive, removed and reinstalled CS2, trashed relevant preference files (I think I got them all)—all to no avail. Interestingly it runs fine on another account on the same computer!
I would like to know what files other than the obvious preference files are used as interfaces between PS and OS 10.3.9, and hear any other suggestions that you might offer.
No other application seems to have any problem with filing, including the other CS suite members.
Thanks!

Since it's only your account that's affected, then it must be something in your account.
Quit Photoshop. In the Preferences folder of your account, delete the entire folder, "Adobe Photoshop CS2 Settings". You will of course need to reset all of you preferences in Photoshop. To avoid that if it's not the preferences that are the problem, just move the settings folder to the desktop. Then you can just move it back.

  • I am trying to print a color photo on my MacBook Pro from iPhoto (not using Photoshop) using Epson 2200 printer, and everything I do in the Color Matching and Print Settings results in a photo with a pink cast to it. What am I doing wrong?

    I am trying to print a color photo on my MacBook Pro from iPhoto (not using Photoshop) using Epson 2200 printer, and everything I do in the Color Matching and Print Settings results in a photo with a pink cast to it. What am I doing wrong?

    Have you checked the ink cartridges and made sure the nozzles are clear? Are you able to print from outside of iPhoto with the correct color?
    Try the following: make temporary copy of the library and do the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

  • How does the URL of DataSocket constitute?And how to use it in LabWindows/CVI ?

    Hi !
    There's a problem puzzled me some days.How does the URL of DataSocket constitute ? And how to use it in LabWindow/CVI ?
    For example.I have downloaded a code in http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/3787.I want to make it work properly.So I configure my DataSocket Server Manger according to the URL of this statement.
    DS_Open ("dstp://weather.natinst.com/weather/current",
    DSConst_ReadAutoUpdate, DSCurrentCallback, NULL,
    &dsCurrentHandle);
     My DateSockket Server Manger is configured as:
    However,it could not work properly when I debug it.
    There's a introduction at the top of the code."You may need to replace the references to weather.natinst.com to 130.164.140.10 if the DNS isn't working properly."So,I modified the statement into
    DS_Open ("dstp://130.164.140.10/weather/current",
    DSConst_ReadAutoUpdate, DSCurrentCallback, NULL,
    &dsCurrentHandle);
    but,it did work properly.
    We want to communicate with other computers via the URL of  DataSocket in LabWindows/CVI.Whereas,how could we make it ia the URL ?
    If anyone could help me solve this problem,I would appreciate it very much !
    Best regards.

    Hi !
    Thank you very much for your reply! I will accept your advice.
    Besides,I have another question.If I want to visit other computers or other websites,how does the URL of DataSocket  I constitute ? Does the URL has any relation with the DataSocket Server Manger ?If does,how to configure the DataSocket Server Manager to let them connected.If they have no relation,how to use the DataSocket Server Manger ?
    After all,I want to know how to use it in LabWinows/CVI ?
    Thank you very much !
    Best regards!

  • How does another computer show up as "shared" in my file sidebar?

    how does another computer show up as "shared" in my file sidebar?

    If you are seeing someone else's computer in your sidebar it is because they have 'shared' something on their computer and hence made it available to you. If you share something on your computer then your computer would become visible in their sidebar.
    You can access their shared computer without them being able to access yours. They do not have to do anything on your computer to make theirs available to you. All they have to do is tell you what username and password to use to access their computer.

    How do I port my Windows Word, Excel, and Powerpoint files to the MAC?  What software is needed on the MAC to use them?  Thanks.

    You can certainly use iWork, though I hesitate to recommend it to a seasoned Windows user simply because it would add another level of the unfamiliar with which you would have to gain familiarity. The iWork applications are certainly very competent and in most respects both easy to use and surprisingly powerful. They are not 100% compatible however, though that typically manifests itself in document formatting issues rather than anything more significant.
    I have never attempted to import emails from a Windows system into MacOS - other than in Outlook connected to an Exchange server, thus not really an issue at all. I doubt that the Mail app in MacOS can import directly, but of course you could always set the account(s) up on the Mac and then forward emails you want to keep from the PC. Not elegant, but it works. Virtually any Windows document or file, whichever application created it, can be opened or converted for use on a Mac, and using both systems on my desk each day I rarely see any issues switching stuff from one machine to the other. You may stumble over one or two issues, but likely not significant.
    In switching platforms there will be some inevitable issues, not so much with being able to import your stuff because there's usually a workaround or a utility that can help, but just with getting familiar with the platform and the differences between Windows and MacOS that can obscure their similarities. From time to time the support community here hears from a user who has found the migration very problematic and regrets it, but for the most part the phrase 'I should have done this years ago...' is rather more prevalent!

  • How do I do use the custom code and format for a percentage with 2 decimals in Report Builder 3.0?

    In Report Builder 3.0, I have the following custom code entered:
      Public Function SafeDivide(Numerator as String, Denominator as String) as String
    Try
    If Numerator = “” or Denominator = “” then
    Return “-“
    End if
    If Numerator = “-“ or Denominator = “-“ then
    Return “-“
    End If
    If CDbl(Numerator) =0 or CDbl(Denominator) = 0 then
    Return “-“
    End if
    If IsNothing(Numerator) or IsNothing(Denominator) then
    Return "-"
    End if
    Return Val( ( (CDbl(Numerator) / CDbl(Denominator) )*100 ) )
    Catch
    Return "-"
    End Try
    End Function
    I call the custom code in the cell with the following equation:
      =Code.SafeDivide(sum(Fields!TY_UNITS.Value)-sum(Fields!LY_UNITS.Value),sum(Fields!LY_UNITS.Value))
    I have the format for the cell set to 0.00%, but it’s not being followed.
    I want the result to be formatted as a Percentage, but instead I get values like: 
    -78.9473684210
    80
    300
    -100
    I have the format for the cell set to 0.00%, but it’s not being followed.
    How do I do use the custom code and format for a percentage with 2 decimals?

    Hi AngP,
    After testing the issue in my local environment, I can reproduce it. Based on my research, I find this issue is caused by the type of Units_VAR_Percentage cell is string, while the type of CDbl(Parameters!Var_Threshold.Value) is double, so they cannot be
    compared.
    To fix this issue, we can add a hidden column (Textbox91) next to the Units_VAR_Percentage column, and type =(sum(Fields!TY_UNITS.Value)-sum(Fields!LY_UNITS.Value)) /sum(Fields!LY_UNITS.Value) as the expression. Then use the expression below to control the
    BackgroundColor:
    =iif(iif(reportitems!Units_VAR_Percentage.Value=CStr(format(reportitems!Textbox91.Value,"0.00%")),reportitems!Textbox91.Value,0)>CDbl(Parameters!Var_Threshold.Value),"Yellow","PaleTurquoise")
    If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
    Thanks,

  • How does *.jsf extension map to *.jsp extension and where it is mapped

    Hi ,
    How does *.jsf extension map to *.jsp extension and where it is mapped ?
    Thanks

    How does *.jsf extension map to *.jsp extension and where it is mapped ?It is mapped in the web.xml.
    If you add the following in your web.xml:
    <context-param>
    <param-name>javax.faces.DEFAULT_SUFFIX</param-name>
    <param-value>.xhtml</param-value>
    </context-param>
    The *.jsf will be mapped to the file with the same name, but xhtml as extention.
    if you the javax.faces.DEFAULT_SUFFIX is not defined in the web.xml, the default suffix comes from the one of the constant of javax.faces.application.ViewHandler . This constant names DEFAULT_SUFFIX and equals to ".jsp"
    Look at:

  • Applications: How does OS X Know Which App to Reference a File to?

    I just got my new Macbook and while installing applications, a question I've had for a while came up again.
    How does OS X know to reference applications to certain file types?
    For example. I have a .avi I downloaded to watch, and downloaded VLC to watch it. I open the .dmg and drag/drop VLC to my Applications folder. Instantly, VLC appears in the "Open With" list for my .avi. How does it know to list it?
    My theories are:
    1. When dragging/dropping VLC, it's not just copying files, it's also doing some background stuff, including VLC telling OS X that it should be referenced for .avi files
    2. When I "Open With" a file, OS X looks at apps in my Applications folder and detects applicable ones in some manner.
    3. It's Voodoo magic.
    How does it work? I hope my question makes sense.
    Thanks!

    From what I understand, the second the .dmg is opened and VLC is seen by OS X as an application, Launch Services asks VLC what filetypes to associate it with, and adds that to the database? Then when I try to "open with" a .avi, it sees that .avi is associated with QuickTime, and now VLC too.
    that's right. inside the VLC application bundle there is a file called info.plist which contains among other things the info about which files VLC can handle. that file is consulted by the Launch services once it becomes aware of VLC being present in the system and that info is recorded in the launch services database. That's how it works with all applications. you can view this file if you want. control-click on VLC in finder and select "show package contents". in the new finder window that opens up go to Contens folder and quicklook the file info.plist.
    Is this correct?
    Thanks.

  • Using AMP to download and save FLV files from web sites?

    I thought I had heard months ago that this new media player was going to allow you to download and save the FLV files from web sites like YouTube and others, where a direct download while possible, isn't the easiest thing to currently do. But I don't really see any way in this new media player to download and save files from web sites....it's plenty willing to play them if they're already saved on your hard drive, but I thought one of the reasons for Adobe building this was to make it easier to get them in the first place?

    I'd have to agree. This is one of the most useless products I have seen from a company of this standard. Why they continue to provide this product as an example of what can be done with AIR, is bewildering.  Myself and others have posted over and over again that the player deletes the saved movies at some random time, an hour or two hours after they appear to be saved.
    What is the point of having a 'saved' icon the CD ICON if that movie will be deleted   FOR NO BLOODY reason.  I just wasted 400 mb of my quota dowloading moves 3 times...!! just to realise that the application deletes them from the VERY CACHE that it copies them to.
    Adobe, if this is what I can expect while trying to view the tutorials for FLEX what will the development experience be like. Myself and others are fed up with posting this bug to Adobe, just to be ignored. How much stress to do you want on your servers before you WAKE UP.
    I have been in 4 meetings over the last 2 weeks and everyone has remarked about the 'experience' trying to view these tutorials.
    Wake up to yourself. If you want to charge $500 for FLEX then atleast fix this crappy player.
    PS. I note that this player is supposedly built with Flex and that the list control truncates rather than wraps, in addition, no 'tool tips',  dates are not localised, the video keeps unpausing itself each time I return from the downloads page, no settings for where files should be cached. Occasionally the underlining (grey) window bar appears over the top of the flash window edge.  I've used the application for an hour or so...
    Where is the alternative... I'll be glad when Adobe get some real competition.. so that they pay attention to input.  A big wastefull site if all support does is read and ignore posts.!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • How to open and save file like the Notepad Demo do?

    I am a newer to Java Web Start. I found that in the Notepad Demo, when user try to open or save file, a message box appear and give the user some security suggestions.
    In my application, I used a JFileChooser and set the <security> element to <j2ee-application-client-permissions/> in the jnlp file. But the application will thow an exception:
    access denied (java.io.FilePermission C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\desktop\Java Web Start.lnk read)
    Can someone tell me how to solve this problem. By the way, where can I find the source of the Notepad Demo. I want my application to open and save file just like the Notepad Demo do.

    The Notpad demo uses the JNLP api to read and write files. The api doc can be found at:
    http://java.sun.com/products/javawebstart/docs/javadoc/index.html
    Although the Notpad demo source is not available, there is other sample code available at:
    http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/releases/javawebstart/
    Included here is the webpad demo, which uses the FileOpenService and
    FileSaveService API's.
