    Hmm, that is very strange. I agree with MichelB that it's probably best just to get the PDF, but you can try going to your username>library>preferences and deleting:
    com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 settings
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 paths
    To see the library, click the Go menu in the Finder and hold down the option key and it will appear below the little house for your user account. While you're in there it wouldn't be a bad idea to go to the Saved Application States folder and delete anything pertaining to PSE.
    Repair permissions and see if that does it.

  • I have all my music on my external hard drive when I try to add it to iTunes it is automatically added to my MacBook Pro's hard drive. How do I stop this from happening? I just want the music to stay on the external hard drive. Thanks!

    I have all my music on my external hard drive when I try to add it to iTunes it is automatically added to my MacBook Pro's hard drive. How do I stop this from happening? I just want the music to stay on the external hard drive. Thanks!

    This is true of course, but doesn't cover the situation where some files are in the iTunes Media folder and others are on an external drive. In my case I keep my music in the Media folder and all my films on an external drive (there are too many to have on the internal drive). In iTunes 11, and before, it was easy to add those external files by holding down the alt/opt key while dragging to the sidebar. In iTunes 12 this is no longer possible. There are several workarounds: use TuneSpan to move the file after it's been added; delete the file from the Media folder and empty the trash then use iTunes Get Info which will report the file is missing and allow you to locate it; constantly switch the Add to iTunes toggle on and off as required. All of these require a lot more work than just holding down the alt/opt key while adding.
    It constantly gets harder.

  • How do I stop my MacBook removing all my icons from the desktop ?

    How do I stop my MacBook removing all my icons from the desktop ?

    Hi Matt
    After I create say a word document, file it on my desktop and then shut down my machine. The next time I open up the MacBook the file icon has been removed from the desktop. I can still retrieve the file in a folder labeled with the month I created it. But why has the OS removed it from the desktop and how can I stop it happening?
    It happens to alias icons as well!
    Regards

  • Since iOS6, whenever I send an iMessage to my wife, it sends the message to me too.  How do I stop this? My wife and I share the same email address.

    Since iOS6, whenever I send an iMessage to my wife, it sends the message to me too.  How do I stop this? My wife and I share the same email address.

    On at least one of the phones, go to Settings/ Messages/ Send & Receive and then tap the e-mail address to turn that option off.  That should force the iMessage to be sent to the unique phone numbers of the phones, not the e-mail address that is common between the phones.
    Or alternatively, create a new e-mail address for one of you and select that as the e-mail option to receive at on one of the phones instead of the shared e-mail.

  • How do you stop iOS 7 from auto enlarging your background picture?

    How do you stop iOS 7 from auto enlarging your background picture? And before it's mentioned, no, Turing off Reduce Motion has absolutely NO effect on the auto enlarge feature that apple stupidly thought would be a good idea. The Reduce Motion ONLY stops the background from subtly shifting as you turn or angle the iDevice.

    It should be my choice, not apples.
    And I agree. But neither of us is a programming engineer at Apple, and so don't get to make those decisions. The user tip I wrote was based on the fact I didn't like it either, and was trying to figure out why it was scaling an image up in the first place, and then how to fix it as best as possible.
    Since you've locked your iPad to one orientation, you should be able to copy your custom image off to your Mac (assuming you own one) and use an image editor, such as Photoshop Elements, to add pixel area to the narrow dimension to make it the same number of pixels as the larger dimension. Increase the canvas size so the extra space leaves the original narrower dimension centered, as in this example:
    Copy it back to your iPad and select the modified image. Since it's square, it shouldn't scale.

  • The following remoteapp program is not in the list of authorized programs.

    Hi,
    Iam in a pickle at the moment.
    My RDS 2012 R2 environment was working successfully previously, arrived from holiday and it is not longer working.
    My setup:
    **RDS01 ( Session Host and Connection Broker Roles )
    **RDS02 ( Web Access, Gateway and Licencing Roles)
    The Problem i am facing is, after successfully login to the RDWeb page, lunching the remoteapp i get the following:
    1st Get Certificate mismatch ( name in the certificate RDS02.mycompany.local is not trusted )
    2nd Hit YES and the following message "Windows cannot start the RemoteApp program. The following RemoteApp program is not in the list of authorized programs: WinWord"
    It happens whether i do connect externally.
    Internally the SSO does not work ( i did check my certificate and it is installed )
    If i run the script Set-RDPublishedName and change it from remote.mycompany.com to RDS01.mycompany.local
    1st Certificate name mismatch ( requrested pc RDS01, name in the certficate remote.mycompany.com )
    2nd Hit Yes and the app works
    It happens whether i do connect internally or externally.
    Any help will be very appreciated.
    cheers
    Elton

    Hi Elton,
    It sounds like the DNS lookup is resolving to the wrong ip address.  When the RD Gateway (RDS02) looks up remote.yourcompany.com to connect to your broker/RDSH it should resolve to the ip address of RDS01, but it appears it is resolving to RDS02 instead.
    I recommend you use Set-RDPublishedName to change the name back to what is was before (remote.yourcompany.com) and verify that your DNS settings are correct.  For example, if you log on to RDS02 and try to ping remote.yourcompany.com it should try to
    ping the internal ip address of RDS01, since that is your connection broker.

  • Mdnsresponder will not quit.  Consumes above 100% CPU and kills my battery.  Also causes my fan to run constantly and my computer to get extremely hot.  Force quitting doesn't work.  It just comes back.

    The mdnsresponder will not quit.  Consumes above 100% CPU and kills my battery.  Also causes my fan to run constantly and my computer to get extremely hot.  Force quitting doesn't work.  It just comes back.   I posted about this earlier and never got an answer.  Somebody, please help. 
    Thanks.

    mDNSResponder is a background process that runs all the time. If you kill it, it's relaunched automatically.
    Please launch the Console application and select "system.log" from the file list. Enter "mDNSResponder" (without the quotes) in the search field. Post a sample of the log messages in the Console window -- only one example of each repeated message, please.
