ICloud and Open Dialog boxes not working

I originally posted a question at Open Dialog boxes have disappeared without results. I have some more information now.
The problem: Open Dialog boxes do not work - they don't show up at all - for apps supported by iCloud. Apps that don't use iCloud work fine.
I've now figured out that the Open Dialog boxes will reappear if I uncheck Documents and Data in the iCloud preferences pane. If I recheck it, then the Open Dialogs for all synced apps stop working. I am unable to correlate when this behavior started to any particular event on my Mac (that is not to say there is not a correlation - I simply can't find one). I have done file permission repairs, deleted com plists and even reinstalled Mountain Lion 10.8.2, all with no change in the behavior. The results of checking/unchecking the Documents and Data box are instant. I can have an app like Preview open or closed, or restart the computer. It does not matter. Checked = no Open Dialog; Unchecked = get Open Dialog (without iCloud option of course).

I appreciate all responses particularly from an "Official Adobe" human being!
Unfortunately, a significant amount of effort has been expended with no joy here.
I have done the following;
(1) examined every plug-in folder for duplicates - None found
(2) deleted the symlinks (aliases) Topaz created referencing their plug-ins in /Library/Application Support
(3) reinstalled the Topaz bundle - no change
(4) Spoke at length with Topaz support and have been assured that all of their plug-ins are CS6 compatible.
(5) Have had the same conversation with Nik regarding their 2 plug-ins - assured that they are compatible.
Frankly I'm stumped here. I've combed my system in everyway I can without any change in PS behavior - on Open it defaults to blank and "Save as" selects the wrong format.
Question for the experts. Would deleting PS completely and then reinstalling make a difference or am I now in uncharted territory and on my own?
Thanks for all assistance,
Robert
Still need to save as TIFF but can't seem to get there.

  • Preview and Open dialog box on initial start of program?

    Okay, I understand that it might be beneficial when starting Preview that an open dialog box also pops up.  However, I find it VERY annoying that it does it when I double click on a PDF and Preview goes through it's initial startup.  It NEVER did this before...am I missing some setting?
    I know it may seem like a small annoyance but, for some reason, it really bugs me.

    Thanks.  I guess I wasn't very effective with my search phrases before posting.
    It did solve the annoyance but definitely seems like a bug to me.  I will post in feedback to Apple since opening a pdf in preview and then automatically opening an open dialog box has no value.  It also shouldn't be linked to Documents and Data in icloud being checked or not.

  • Open/save dialog boxes not working correctly.

    Environment: CS6 (PS 13.0.1) Mac OS X 10.7.5. Plenty of hardware. (Generally starting with .CR2 RAW.)
    Two open/save problems
    Recently (maybe since the 13.0.1 update??), I have been having problems with the open and save as dialog boxes.
    First. The open file dialog always defaults to Enable: blank (i.e. no file types enabled). Each time I have to  go to the bottom of the dropdown list and select "All readable documents" before I can open ANY type of file. I've searched in everyway I can think of looking for some method to have OPEN default to "all readable" but can't find anyway to do this. Anyone have a suggestion? I admit this is a nuisance more than anything, but when whipping around at deadline having to stop each time and make this change is irritating. No other program has this difficulty (including Illustrator and InDesign). PS5.5 did not exhibit this behavior on the same machine.
    Second. When I save as and try to select any file format, say going from psd to tiff, the format dropdown list ALWAYS selects the format ABOVE the one I choose. Example: If I select JPEG, PS tries to save as .iff. If I pull the selection down to JPEG2000 it will then save as standard JPEG. Again just an irritant but, tiff (which I need for several other programs) is last on the list thus there is no way I can go one below it to get tiff format selected. It always comes out as png. Also note that the Format selection indicates the correct format - in the case of tiff the dialog box shows TIFF selected, but the program is apending .png. (Continuing the save as (without altering my selection) always results in the incorrect format no matter what the Format dialog says in the save as operation.) Again, no other program I work with (including several Adobe products) exhibits this behavior.
    I seriously need to be able to save as tiff. Anyone with any thoughts on this?
    Thanks much,
    Robert

  • Photoshop CS3 Save and Save As Dialog box not working

    I can't do a "save as" or "save for web" in photoshop cs3. The dialog box opens and I can't change anything but the file type pull down menu (and sometimes not even that). This problem happens sporadically.... but most of the time it doesn't work.
    I have re-installed Photoshop cs3 but I still have the same problem.
    Photoshop CS3 10.0.1
    MacPro 2 x 3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
    Memory : 4GB
    Mac OS 10.5.8
    Please Help

    I'm seeing exactly this same problem with Photoshop CS3  after the upgrade to 10.5.8. It appears that the dialog box never gets focus for "Save for Web and Devices" -- the title bar of the dialog is grayed out, while the main "Save for Web and Devices" panel still has focus.  That means there's no way to clear the dialog, since the panel is waiting for it to return, but the dialog can't get any input.  None of the standard resets work for any length of time.  I seem to remember similar problems in a much earlier release of Mac OS X, but I can't be sure.  Quite annoying.

  • Save and Open Dialog Boxes

    Hi,
    Newbie
    I have been programing in VB.NET for around 18 months and know that there is an object in the environment that adds an open and a save dialog box onto a form as well as ones for other dialog boxes for other jobs.
    However i was wondering if anyone could tell me if there is a set dialog box for opening files and saving files that can be imported into a java application or if you have to design one yourself.
    Thanks in advance
    Dave

    You're asking about Java, right? There's JFileChooser which is probably what you are asking about. Note that it is just like the VB one in that it doesn't actually open or save a file, it just allows you to choose the name of the file to be opened or saved.

  • Standard 'X' in a modal dialog box not working

    Hi,
    I have created a module pool and calling screen from main screen using Call screen.... Starting... ending... statement.
    It is a modal dialog box screen. As a standard a [X] appears on top right corner. But when I click it doesn't work. it does not even fire PBO. How can I make it work?

    Hi,
    Set next screen as 0, not the screen itself. Then you are able to close it this way.
    Regards
    Marcin
    I was wrong, this will only close the modal box each time after the dialog step is completed. To activate this magic 'X' (allow closing the window with ALT+F4) in PBO set status (type dialog box ) and activate CANCEL and CONTINUE buttons. Now when you try closing the window either by CANCEL button or using X, sy-ucomm (ok_code of the screen) will store CANCEL function code. This way you can simply say LEAVE SCREEN . That works fine, I checked.
    Regards
    Marcin

  • HT6065 Fixing file display speed in save and open dialog boxes

    Has anyone else had issues with the speed at which a folder's contents are listed in a save dialog box? I will select a folder when saving a file and it will take 10-12 seconds of the spinning cog before it displays the list of files. Folder contents inside of that display their contents when clicked on right away but the first level selected is always very slow. It was fine in OS 10.8. I did a clean install of OS 10.9.

  • Illustrator CS5 Changing dot lpi and angle dialog box not opening

    Hello! I am having trouble with Illustrator CS5 changing the dot lpi and angle. I have my problem typed out below the image. Please help if you can! Thank you!

    You could also save yourself a lot of work by creating an ink template .ait with all of the angle/frequency values preset.
    1) Simply create a new document, size the artboard to your typical size and create a series of color chips (squares) each colored with one of your typical inks. It looks like you're doing t-shirt seps so you probably have about 20 or so inks you use all the time.
    2) Go into the print settings and set all of their angle and frequency values and click done.
    3) Choose File->Save As Template (you can delete the color chips if you want at this point, the swatches will remain)
    Now whenever you start a new document, choose File -> New From Template
    Any new artwork you create can be colored with the existing swatches and you'll find the angle / frequency settings are already set.
    Any forum posts links send to my twitter @ask_illustrator will be answered at the forum and via twitter.

  • ICloud and Photos app are not working anymore after updating iOS 8.0.2 !!!

    I've just upgraded iOS 8.0.2 with .ipsw file. It asked for my iCloud password in Set Up. It says it's wrong. So i skipped it.
    I tap iPhoto and it tells me to marge the photos to Photos app. It was going fine and then suddenly, it closed. Now i can't open the Photos app anymore. I've rebooted and deleted iPhoto app. I can't even open through Camera.
    I can't see my profile in iCloud (in Settings). It's keeping me the password. Its still wrong. I can't even turn off Find My iPhone to restore my iPhone. It says verification failed.
    I don't know what to do anymore. I still can use my iCloud on my Computer. I still can use everything and everywhere except on my iPhone.

    You are not alone. I got that issue also. I always reboot my phone or reset the network setting but it only work for a few hours.

  • HT4759 I have a windows 8 laptop and I have tried to get set up with Icloud and it is still not working.

    Have you opened an iCloud account (using an Apple device) yet, or are you trying to create an account now.

  • Delay in save and open dialog boxes waiting for Sidebar "Favorites" section

    Upgraded Macbook Pro (3,1) from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to Lion 10.7.2. Ever since upgrading, when opening or saving documents in any application, the Favorites section in the sidebar is blank for a few seconds, maybe 5-10, and then populates normally. I do have a link to a remote computer's folder in the Favorites, which could be the issue.
    Is anyone else having this problem?

    You're asking about Java, right? There's JFileChooser which is probably what you are asking about. Note that it is just like the VB one in that it doesn't actually open or save a file, it just allows you to choose the name of the file to be opened or saved.

  • My System Preferences, iCloud and Internet Accounts, are not working.

    They show blank screens no matter which account I login with. 
    I removed every Internet Account using Mail.  Even though the account details didn't show up the + - buttons did and the prompt let me know I had the correct account selected.  After removing all accounts I rebooted and this didn't fix the problem. 
    I have searched for a solution to this problem and have not found any that worked yet.
    Please help.
    Patrick

    I had the same frustrations, and then remembered similar problems with old stereo tuner technology.  It is called dust & corrosion; so I sprayed some electrical contact cleaner (available at some hardware or car supply stores) into the headphone port and the problem disappeared in about 2.5 seconds!  This is a more effective method to clean the micro-switch than pushing the headphone jack in and out, which could ultimately damage the switch anyway.

  • ICloud and Apple ID Are not working

    I cannot sign into my iCloud, the password email is broken and i forgot my security questions, so how can I fix this? Also my phone is locked into a full fresh start and need my Apple ID to start it up. help?

    Go to iCloud.com and sign in with your apple id.  Click the icons and verify you data.
    If you see the expected data, on you MacBook Pro, click the apple >> system preferences >> iCloud.  If you are signed in already, sign out.  Then, sign in with the same id you used on the website.  Check off the desired boxes and wait for the gears to stop spinning.  Check the apps and see if they updated.

  • Search in Open dialog don't work. CS6

    Hi!
    I've just noted that the search-function in the Open dialog does not work proberly. You can't search for filenames.
    The problem is only in InDesign CS6.
    Any have a solution for that?
    Thank you.

    What's your OS?
    The search function in a dialog would be an OS operation, not controlled by ID, I think.
