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.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.

  • I am have problems with firefox 5& 6. It does not display correctly. I have tried the no squint and the internal zoom. Some pages load ok, others like yahoomail, load tiny unless I zoom and then other pages have problems. Why? What else can I be doing?

    I am frustrated. With the no squint, which has a mind of its own, then some pages are fine, in others the type is too big or too small for the frames. If I use the default Firefox zoom that is no better. I have to set things for like 130 percent and am constantly having to click on the zoom and change things. I never had that with previous versions? Why can't Firefox just go back to displaying text in the correct frames at a decent size?

    I have played with all the options in no squint and the default zoom thing. My email list in yahoo remains tiny tiny, other things do not. If I enlarge that, then other things are too big. I never had this problem with older versions of firefox. I never had used any zoom features, it all sized itself correctly.
    To troubleshoot, I tried to open the same things with chrome, and it had much less of a problem sizing the type etc.
    I am kind of at my wits end here.

  • Firefox(20.0.1) is ignoring my proxy server for google searches from website and the search box. It works for all other search engines and chrome/safari.

    firefox(20.0.1)
    squid (port 3128) and dansguardian (port 8080) not running in transparent mode.
    I am applying blacklists and a custom url regex to apply "safe=vss", this works for all browsers and all search engines except firefox using google search engine.
    Search engines tested (bing, yahoo, norton, ask, amazon, avg, ebay) - all work.
    Links from the search results are blocked by content filter, but search results still appear and google images are still shown. This does not happen in Chrome(23.0.1271.97), IE9(9.0.8), Opera(12.14) or Safari(5.1.7) with the same settings.
    No log entry appears in Dansguardian access.log implying proxy settings are being ignored for just this combination.

    I can't think of a reason that one particular webpage would behave differently from all the others, i.e., if you are starting at google.com and running a search using the form in the page, I'm not aware of any reason for Firefox to handle that specially just because it's Google.
    Does it make a difference if you disable JavaScript when using Google? If that yields the results you expect, perhaps Google's XMLHttpRequest AJAX traffic is bypassing your filters?
    The search bar has its own code, so someone would need to look at that to see whether/why it bypasses your proxy if the above hypothesis does not apply.

  • I have just installed iPhoto 11 and all of photos on my iphone have now all disappeared and ended up in my photo stream and the library in iphoto does not display all my pictures?? Can anyone help?

    I have just installed iPhoto 11 and all of photos on my iphone have now all disappeared and ended up in my photo stream and the library in iphoto does not display all my pictures?? Can anyone help?

    And I cant work out why all of my pictures are not diplaying in iphoto?
    Is this iPhoto on your Mac?  Are you referring to the photos that were in your iPhoto LIbrary prior to the upgrade to iPhoto 11?  If so then apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
    If that's not what you're referring to then you should describe what is happening in more detail. Remember we can't see your Mac or your iPhone so need detailed and accurate descriptions of what you're experiencing.
    Also we need infomartion like do you have an iCloud account and are you logged into it on all of your devices, iPhoto and Mac? do you have Photo Stream enabled on both.

  • What happened to dreamweaver file created in xp when opened in vista?

    I created a dreamweaver site in CS4 on windows xp, but recently upgraded to vista home premium. After I downloaded dreamweaver on vista, and restored my files, the Design and Code view shows unreadable text or code on my homepage html file. All of the other html files are normal. Attached is a sample of what my home page file looks like in design or code view. What happened to my file?

    Your attachment didn't attach. Not your fault; they frequently don't.
    To check out this unreadable text issue, go to your Edit > Preferences > Fonts and make sure that the fonts that are chosen are available on your new vista system. That should help with errors in Code View. If you are having Design View unreadability (!) check the header of your page to make sure that there is a declaration like this one:
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
    It will appear right after the DOCTYPE declaration (in Code View).
    It's pretty disappointing when a new system isn't actually BETTER right away! My sympathy.

    Hi,
    No it's the same Photoshop .Photography program is just a temporary promotion pack with Photoshop and Lightroom  and it can end anytime .So you can buy Indesign and photography to have Indesign,Photoshop and Lightroom .

    I have several layers for my image: Background, Moon, Tree, Grass and Clouds.  When I try to use the Move tool to move the Moon, the tool jumps to the Tree layer.  The same thing happens with the other layers as well (except the background layer).  How can I keep the move tool from jumpimg to the Tree layer?

    1. Pre-select (highlight) the layer to move in the Layers panel.  or-
    2. [ALT+Right mouse click]  to select the wanted layer in the image window.
    and maybe
    3. Set the PS option to "Auto-select" a layer with cursor hover.  (can be very confusing!)

    I just installed LR CC and am having trouble opening catalogs where I followed the instructions to upgrade.  Just posted a question about it.
    Discovered a problem when I went looking for some images that were not included in the most recent catalog.  After opening up a couple of older ones and upgrading, I went back to the most recent and couldn't opening.  Message says it is not writable.  And also says it may be due to incorrect permissions.  If you have any suggestions for this, I would love to hear them.

  • Isolating a layer (hiding all other layers)

    I have started writing my first script but I am struggling to find out how to isolate an active layer.
    Part of my script reads;
    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    doc.activeLayer = doc.artLayers.getByName('mk stone');
    at this point I would like to hide all other layers in the document. I will then select one of the RGB channels then unhide the other layers.
    I have worked out the selection part. So all I really need to know is how to hide and unhide all other layers.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    There will be a number of layers to turn on and off.
    The way it works is to create a folder and select a layer with the corresponding name. i.e create a new layerset called "stone set", then select an existing layer in the scene, this would be called "mk stone".
    I would then select an individual RBG channel, load the selection and then make the "stone set" the active layer and apply the layer mask to the layerset.
    I have got all this working fine. The only problem is when I try it with more than one layer because it just keeps seeing the highest up layer in the stack and reapplying these selections to all layersets.
    I need to tell it to make "mk stone"  the only layer shown, make a RGB selection and then return back to the previous visibilty state. I would then apply the layer mask as previously mentioned select another layer "mk brick" hide all other layers make the RGB selection return to the previous visibilty state apply layer mask to the layerset etc....
    It would be alot better if it could return to a previous visibilty state as some files I use have certain layers/layersets turned off and would be useful not to turn all these back on. If not I could work in an external file, but ideally in the same. What I really need is exactly the same as 'alt' clicking the the eye icon on a layer and 'alt' clicking to return to the previous state.
    Hope this makes sense. Many thanks for any help.

  • The Elements 12 Mac disk works fin - I also have a Dell, and the Windows disk will not run at all, sounds like it's grinding, and is almost impossible to remove from the hard drive.  I cannot find any place to tell me who to CALL to ask for a replacement!

    Hi Samcat,
    You can use a download instead of the disk as an alternative: Adobe - Download free trial version Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 | Adobe you can license with your serial
    Please test the disk in another windows machine to check if it's caused by the drive or the disk. If you tested with 2 drives please start a support case, i assume Adobe will only provide downloads at this point. They are the same as the trials. If you still need a disk you can burn the trial to a disk as a backup disk. Good luck!
