I did a dumb

I have created a problem in CS5.When I open an image the curser is a "+1".I have looked in all my books and cant figure out what I did.Any ideas will be very helpful and appreciated.

Do you have the count tool selected?
If you select a different tool, does the cursor change?

I did something dumb -- HELP!

I have the messiest desktop in the world -- for a 22" cinema display (one of the old ones). I found a neat tip on macosxhints to clean up your desktop using Automator. I created an action that was supposed to find all sorts of files on my desktop and move them to newly created folders . . . to help me get organized. I have directions for .dmg, .zip, .jpg, .doc and on and on. All images were to be sent to a folder called Imagesto_befiled. This gets everything off of my desktop and I was going to run it once a day.
Well, I accidentally messed up the Automator script and instead of just finding images on my desktop, I accidentally had the .jpg script set to Computer. So, I get a spinning beachball as this thing is running for the first time. Apparently, it stumbled after moving about 12,000+ images from all over my machine. I lost images out of my Dreamweaver sites and just about any folder that had images. But, the most damaging images were the ones in folders inside of my iPhoto library. I have about 6,000 photos in iPhoto. because the Automator script stalled out (I ended up having to force quit), I still have most images in iPhoto. But, of the 6,000, i think about 300 - 400 of my iPhoto pictures were moves out and when I scroll through my iPhoto library, there is a white outline of a box where the photos should be. And, some thumbnails appear, but when I click on the thumbnail, the underlying image is no longer in the folder so nothing appears. Obviously, all of these images are sitting in my Imagesto_befiled.
I cannot undo the script, so that's out of the question. My most recent backup of the iPhoto library was Aug. So, I'll probably figure out how to replace my library with the old one and then I'll only have to fix the photos taken since then. That brings it down to about 50 pictures that will be missing.
I am wondering if anyone has any tips for how best to do this given that some are thumbnails and some are the original and even some are NEF (i shot RAW for a while)?
I don't care to maintain any albums, I just want my iPhoto library to have all of the images displayed so I can scroll through and still see the dates show up on the right. When I import the photos in the Imagesto_befiled back into the library, they all appear as though they were taken today even though some were taken back in 2002 or 2003 when they were in iPhoto before I messed it up.
Any help would be appreciate. And, I know, I know . . . I should have double-checked. Dumb, dumb, dumb! TIA.

Thank you for the reply. I am off to bed now, but I will attempt this in the morning. I forgot about the old library being iPhoto 5 as well. Whew!
I think I wrote incorrectly previously when I said, "When I import the photos in the Imagesto_befiled back into the library, they all appear as though they were taken today even though some were taken back in 2002 or 2003 when they were in iPhoto before I messed it up."
I just checked at the thousands of photos I imported into roll 267 (my newest roll) in are all appearing as though they were taken on June 10, 2002 . . . probably the date of the first image in that roll. But, that's just the little grey box that appears as I scroll through. When I click on an image, the correct Created date appears. Maybe things aren't so bad after all.
Getting the images back into the correct Rolls could take a long time, but at least I can do it now. I believe iPhoto creates thumbnails of large images as well because some of the photos are only like 24 kb while most are 4 MB. I am guessing this is the difference, so I'll have to sort by size and move the larger images back first into the appropriate folders . . . I think I can just drag the photos in as I figure them out since iPhoto thinks they're still there. And, fortunately most photos were taken with 2 cameras so the images named, "DSC_2543.jpg" and similarly are more likely iPhoto images while the named ones are probably not. Doh, I had renamed many and I think they are probably now labeled by their new title. That makes it more difficult to figure out which photos are from iPhoto and which might have been in a Dreamweaver site folder or another unrelated folder, etc. Maybe this is just something to work on over the next month . . . or more. Heh heh.
What a hassle. Lesson firmly learned. ;~)

[SOLVED] I did a dumb thing... (chmod/chown)

Hi all, hope this is the right section,
So I decided that I was tired of authenticating when I wanted to change some files for my SLiM theme, and decided to add permissions to my user.. on the entire share folder. Well, here's what I ran:
[naut@arch /usr]$ sudo chown -Rv root:naut share/ && sudo chmod -Rv 664 share/
Yep. So after I did that I noticed that xfce stopped working properly; all of my icons, panels, etc, were showing as follows: ▖▖▖▖▖▖▖▖▖▖
I immediately tried to revert the change my chowning back to root:root, and setting most files back to 644, but it had no effect. I logged out and logged back in to see if it was a temporary thing, but when I logged back in, even more items were showing ▖▖▖▖▖▖▖▖▖▖. I switched to another tty and chmoded all of /usr/share to 777... now I know that's generally a bad idea but when I logged back in, I did see that it at least went back to normal functionality.
So my question becomes, how can I know what dirs/files need what permissions? I'd like to get it back to where I have the least permission required for everything to work properly.

644 broke things because directories need execute permissions to be traversable.
Unfortunately, /usr/share is a grab-bag of permissions:
# find /usr/share -type f -exec ls -l {} + | cut -d ' ' -f 1 | sort | uniq -c
2879 -r--r--r--
4 -r-xr-xr-x
49229 -rw-r--r--
12 -rw-r-xr--
143 -rw-rw-r--
277 -rwxr-xr-x
3 -rwxrwxr-x
You'd probably be safe enough to set all files to 644 and all directories to 755, but you might want to check with pacman -Qkk and reinstall any packages that complain about permissions mismatches. This won't fix everything though, as some packages still pre-date MTREE files.

I upgraded to iOS 7 and did a dumb thing

I upgraded to iOS 7. When asked to type in a 4-didit, I blithly did, not realizing what I was really doing. Later when I wanted to use the phone, it asked me for the code, which I had completely forgotten. I have tried to correct this by following Apple's various suggestions on how to change Apple ID. But no help on recoving the passcode was available. I have tried so many times that I now get the Phone is Disabled message. What can I do? I never used a passcode on any of my earlier iOS.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

I did something dumb.....

When I purchased a mini back in January, I had it in mind to also get the Applecare warranty. While checking online for my warranty information I find that the mini was not registered, nor was the Applecare. Thinking back, I recall that C-usa (where I purchased both at the same time) did not have the A-care in stock. For some reason, life kept me busy and I totally spaced going back for the Applecare. I'm not sure if I can go back and claim I never received it after such a long time span. For some reason, the receipt they gave me does not list the usual serial number for either the mini or the Applecare that I paid for. I did contact both Apple and Cusa. Apple told me to contact Cusa and see if I can get the serial number for the Acare. My thinking is that since they did not scan the serial number to begin with, I doubt that they know whether or not I received the box.
Looking in the mirror I see more gray hair everyday. sigh.....

Hi Petra,
I did pay for it. I'm going to send Apple a letter along with a copy of the receipt to see if they'll be able to help me out with this. The store where I purchased the pair is unable to track any serial number for anything that I purchased. Figures! Lesson learned on my part. To think the least expensive mac I own is going to cost the most in warranty coverage. (well almost, for my Powerbook the Acare is $349) Hope Apple is kind to me.
I have until the 22nd of January 06.

Why did Nokia dumb down Nokia Maps with each new v...

I recently did a YouTube video comparing Nokia Maps to the GPS apps available on the iPhone AND Nokia Maps on Nokia N86 8MP.
The interesting part is that how many more functions does N86's old Nokia Maps have over the new Nokia Maps on the N8.
Lots of functionality has been lost, while all the other GPS apps got new functionality, Nokia Maps is instead dropping functionality left and right.
Why Nokia?
Here's the video(s) BTW, if you are familiar with Nokia Maps, you might want to start watching from the middle of Part 3.

Thanks! And I really hope Nokia will take note and integrate those old and useful features back into Nokia Maps.

Oh, for sure I agree noone is pushing me, but the problem is... there's not a new-technology minimalist phone out there, as far as I know.
I want a C2-01.5 like I have now, but with a faster processor and more memory. Same size, a bigger (less edge margin) screen'd be nice, but whatever. A bigger battery and perhaps an even skinnier/smaller form factor. I want the OS to be super configurable and have options on top of options on top of options (and if it let me disable/hide the things I don't use - to reduce the clutter of the menus, I'd be in frickin' heaven!). Finally, I want them to put WiFi into this simple small stick. And the simplicity of the basic Nokia keyboard layout (with slightly raised keys {great job on the C2-01.5} that I can feel with my fingers) would be awesome too. If anyone can think of something like this described dream-phone, please do let me know. I'll build you a small temple and pray at it weekly. As far as it goes with this experiment, I'm sending the N301 back. And I had such high hopes!
Funny and sad at the same time.
Thanks, guys!

P.S. Nokia, if you wanted to hire me for product design, I'm all ears. Finland's a nice country. Lotsa salmon and saunas and pretty blonde girls.

I did a dumb thing - ipod froze, won't reset!

Well, when my ipod was plugged in to my pc... I unplugged it thinking it wasn't connected since it didn't show up on computer. But it turned out that it was still connected and had the "Do not disconnect" sign on the ipod screen. Now its just stuck on that screen. I can't reset it or anything.. its just froze. When i press buttons the backlight still comes on and when I put it on hold the lock sign comes up, but other then that... it won't do anything else.
I need help desperately!

Three explanations for this one:
One, the screen is broken. (Lowest chance)
Two, the iPod is in DESPERATE need of service (but what good will that do?)
Three, the hard drive is frozen. (see number two)
This is a tough one...

I did a dumb thing.

I was deleting some stuff out of my Purchased playlist and I ended up accidentally deleting the Purchased playlist itself. Is there any way at all to restore it?? I didn't delete my purchased music (it's still in my library) but this was definitely my most used playlist. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!!

Your purchased playlist is simply a smart playlist. You can rebuild it by using a smart playlist with the criteria, "kind contains protected AAC". Hope this helps.

HELP!!! I DID SOMETHING DUMB!

TO ANYONE WHO CAN HELP,
I accidently left my laptop case with my macbook in my car today. The problem is, I live in South Dakota and it's really cold outside. I just now realized I had forgot it in there, so it's been in the cold for a good 7.5 hours.
Will this cause any permanent damage to my MacBook? I'm worried about condensation! What should I do???
Please reply if you have any advice!
Thank you so much!
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

For future reference, here's some general advice about digital SLR cameras being used out in the cold and then brought indoors. It definitely also applies to other electronics.
Put the camera (or MacBook in this case) in a sealed plastic bag before bringing it inside, and don't open it until it's gotten close to room temperature. This will maintain the same humidity level (absolute, not relative) while it warms up. Do that, and you won't have problems with condensation.
Here's what Apple has to say about what the MacBook can handle. Has it gotten below -13F there yet?
Operating temperature: 50° to 95° F (10° to 35° C)
Storage temperature: -13° to 113° F (-24° to 45° C)
Relative humidity: 0% to 90% noncondensing
Maximum operating altitude: 10,000 feet
Maximum storage altitude: 15,000 feet
Maximum shipping altitude: 35,000 feet

I did something dumb plz help

hello,
i was deleting some folders of my drive and accidently deleted my folder with the x on it. im pretty sure it was the os duh. i realized this after i shut it off. so now when i try to start it up it gives me a question mark and a folder flashing. i hope i didnt empty the trash but i cant remember. is there anything i can do to fix it? any help greatly appreciated.

I don't know for sure if this will work. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc One. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select the Terminal application from the Utilities menu (I'm pretty sure it's a menu choice.) After the Terminal loads you will see a prompt in the Terminal's window. I'm not sure what it will say, so for the sake of this experiment I'll use prompt> to indicate the prompt in the following. Enter the commands and press return to run the command. You need to know the volume name you have assigned to the computer's hard drive, e.g., Macintosh HD.
prompt>cd /Volumes/volname/Users/username
Substitute your computer's drive name for "volname" and your shortname for "username"
prompt>ls -l .Trash
Should list the contents of your Trashcan. If your system folder is in the trash you should see it listed as System. The listing will look something like this:
drwxr-xr-x 4 root wheel 136 Feb 1 23:43 System
If there is nothing listed in the Trash, then you've deleted the System folder and you can stop here, quit the Terminal, and reinstall OS X. If you do see a listing like the one above then continue:
prompt>mv .Trash/System /Volumes/volname
prompt>ls -l /Volumes/volname
Verify that you now have a System folder listed on the volume. If so, quit Terminal and restart.
If you get any system error message doing the above to the effect you don't have sufficient permissions then insert the command "sudo" in front of each command line listed above, e.g., prompt>sudo ls -l .Trash. You will be asked to authenticate with your admin password that will not be echoed.
I'm pretty sure the above should work. However, I've never had occasion to try it.

Did something dumb.

uh... i was messing with the 'get info' in my library seeing if i could make my ipod display the proper track number, and i select alll my files, checked the box that said track number thinking i was doing a good thing. next thing i know, i just deleted all my track numbers. i know that for mac users, fixing this is as easy as using itunify; however, i am a windows user. is there an alternative program for windows like itunify, or will i be spending a good bit of time piecing my library back together?

That depends -- if the filenames have the track numbers then you can use this program to fix them:

Why did Apple dumb down reminders in Mountain Lion iCal app?

I'd been running Leopard for a few years and was perfectly happy with it's functionality. Then I bought a new Mac and it came with Mountain Lion. iCal reminders pop up on the desktop and offer only two options to address them: snooze, close. Before I could select edit to customize continued reminders for any calendar item. So, dealing with calendar alerts is now just annoying. These kinds of "improvements" do not reflect well on the development management of their software products. And it does not make me a happier Apple customer.

Where did mygreen "firefox" drop down button go?

''conclusion of this support issue is here - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/844979 - locking this thread''
i updated to ff5, lost my google toolbar, followed directions to download that 'reporter" thing. i then went & forced the toolbar to work, as directed, and did a dumb thing & told ff it was "fine now." well, sometime yesterday afternoon an evil thing occurred, and now i've lost google toolbar, tool icon AND the green drop down firefox menu. help? the current tab page now fills my monitor screen. i have to navigate waaaay up above it to get the address bar, back button, minimize, maximize & close button...and that's it folks! i have nothing else.

yes, firefox will automatically update regularly - though you could disable that in the [[Advanced settings for accessibility, browsing, system defaults, network, updates, and encryption]], i would strongly discourage you from doing so since updates generally also contain [https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html critical security fixes] & the integrity of your system and your personal data on it would be at risk otherwise.

Can't move items from one box to another

I have set up a separate mailbox for a certain list with some rules to sort new mail to this box. However, there are from the past a number of incoming items in my Inbox which are not sorted to this new box and I want to move them manually. Usually I can just select the items and drag them to the desired mailbox, but in this case I have selected the items and when I drag them to the new mailbox they just spring back. In other words they can't be moved. What can be happening? It worked before and doesn't work now. Help?

I solved my own problem. Sorry I can't take it down. I did a dumb thing and got confused about which box was in the foreground at the time. Duh! Oh well...thanx anyway.
