Incredibly Frustrated

A couple of weeks ago I was running out of room on my main hard drive. The biggest folder was iTunes with over 80gigs of space being taken up. I have a removable hard drive so I decided to move my music to that. Ever since then there have been problems. Just when I think I fix it, a new problem comes up. This time a ton of my folders somehow made it back to the my documents folder on my C drive. I'd move them but there is 1257 of them and only 670 folder where they're supposed to be on the new hard drive. I can't just send send them to the new one because a lot of the already have the same folder name. And when I do send one folder over and the files, iTunes doesn't detect them and I have to tell it one by one where they are.
I'm losing my mind with this. I kind of want to just start completely over. I want to preserve my library because I don't want to recreate playlists and stuff but this is so out of hand. I need someone to tell me exactly what to do. Please don't refer me to another page unless it has step by step instructions. I need help bad.

I don't work for VZ. But if you are rebooting your Verizon Wifi router because you can't get to the internet despite the WAN light being green, you have probably fallen prey to the IGMP Proxy issue. On the VZ router, there is an option that is located here on your router for IGMP Proxy. Disable it:

It cured my disconnection issue and needing to reboot my router regularly.

Why can't i add playlists to my iPhone from my mac while they are connected? I keep getting the following message "some items (meaning all of them) were not transferred because iTunes match is enabled." This is incredibly frustrating.

I keep getting the following message "some items (meaning all of them) were not transferred because iTunes match is enabled." when I try to drag and drop a playlist, song, or album to my iPhone. This was NEVER a problem before iTunes match or the last iOS update. So what is the deal? Why can't i just add music to my phone from the mac? There is space on the phone. The only way I have found to get the music i want to the phone is to have it download from the phone. This is not something i want to have to do: go through and manually add every album and recreate a playlist on the phone when its there on the mac. And, even more irritating, since the new update, when the phone is plugged into the mac i can't actually view from the mac what music is on the phone. This is incredibly frustrating and any help would be much appreciated in managing my music libraries for each device.

Hi,
You cannot manually manage music with match turned on on your iOS device. If you want to manage music manually, you will need to turn off match on your iPhone.

Incredibly frustrating crashes in InDesign cc

I installed InDesign CC and got the following problem.
I create an object state of a text field. When I want to check the AutoPlay in Folio Overlay, InDesign crashes. It happens every time.
I have restarted the computer and I have reinstalled the software. No difference.
Incredibly frustrating. Does anyone have a suggestion for a solution?
I have a mac book pro with OSX 10.8.4

Why can I not load pictures from a micro SD 64gb using scan disk adapter plugged into an Apple iPad camera connection kit. I have the iPhoto app but pictures not being seen on iPad. So incredibly frustrating. Apple please fix this.

Do you have a smaller capacity micro SD card to try? I seem to remember from past posts that users were having problems with cards larger than 32GB, however, Apple's page doesn't mention this.

Auto-select precision in Photoshop CS6 is incredibly frustrating

I have been using CS6 for a while now and one problem that I keep encountering is the auto-selection of shape layers. Trying to auto-select a layer that's within 10 pixels of a shape layer is impossible without having to zoom in. This is a little hard to explain without images... Cue image...
If you try to recreate the above image, where the black 20x20px rectangle is a shape and the red 38x38px rounded rectangle is rasterized pixels, you will see that auto-selecting the red rounded rectangle is impossible at 100%.
Is this intentional and just an issue for me? Selecting pixel layers in CS5 was never this annoying. It seems that shape layers have an invisible 10px area around them stopping you from selecting anything below them. This is so frustrating with pixel UI work.
I have hunted for a solution but haven't yet found one and there doesn't seem to be any options to disable either. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

A good example of why mixing Mac and PC in the same thread can be so confusing.
My comment here is merely to indicate what I see when I do the various functions described. I have no position as to a bug or whatever.
When I Ctrl-Left click on the Layers palette, I indeed get to select any or all the layers, including linking them up which then shows up when you Ctrl-Right Click on the image. At that point I can revert to a particular layer, if I wish.
I have not been aware of this function, and as it stands, appears to be a useful function. It moves things along better for my work. However, I seldom use Layers for other than Adjustment so the OP's problem would not show.
Too bad I have uninstalled CS5. It would be interesting to see the difference.
So far as changes affecting power users, see the new (Ugh!) crop tool. I have many more steps to take to do a simple crop, and the result to my workflow similar to Billy's. Try to crop 10px off the bottom or sides of an image and know you nailed it without having to deselect the tool to get rid of the (no longer martching) ants.

Incredibly frustrated with service - hope Customer Service is monitoring this forum

Our internet modem needs to be rebooted continually. We spent hours on the phone with Verizon a couple of months ago, and they said they were sending new filters for our land line. They never arrived. I don't think that is the problem anyway, since we have now unplugged the land line altogether.
I just tried to call Customer Support because I am trying to work today and the problem is making that very difficult. I called 6 times and got cut off 6 times (even when I selected the choice to "add new services"!!!)
I just finally got through and am on hold again.
In case I am cut off again (or give up in frustration) I would like a direct communication from a Verizon technical support person or supervisor who might be able to help.
Respond to this post with contact information.
Thank you.
A frustrated customer.

Effect Controls incredibly frustrating

Hi folks. I'm trying to do some very simple Ken Burns type things in Premiere. I want to add simple beziers on the Velocity and such but I find myself wanting to throw a brick at my computer. For one, the handles are incredibly tiny and very difficult to use. you move them slightly and the whole curve screws up. Then I zoom out and my keyframes dissappear under the menu its self and I can't get them back. I can't move the timeline over to see the keyframe. Am I missing something? fully zoomed and they're hidden.
See attached image? Where's my keyframe? It's there. It was there a second ago. Now it's under scroller and I can't reach it. ARG.

Click on the panel menu (top right corner) and uncheck Pin to Clip.
That will let you zoom in and out.
If you want a realy big view.
Hover the mouse over the Effect Controls and hit the tilde (grave) key.

HT201359 Hi, it's incredibly frustrating to not be able to find an agree button for new terms and condition. Where do I actually do it?????? Thanks Jitka

Hi where do I agree on terms and condition? The file is massive while not having the agree button. Very frustrating!!!

You can see number of charging cycles in System Profiler , under Power.
In regards to your battery/charger issues one thing - try to switch your computer off, take the battery out, and hold power button for 5 (10, just for a sake of it seconds.
Then put battery back in, and try to charge it/power it up. It's amazing how many issues can this solve...
Let us know!

Incrediblely frustrated.

Well, I just brought home my 5th gen 80 gb I-pod home today... and right away I made a stupid mistake. I couldn't find the directions (they blended in with the box... anyway) so I plugged it into my computer without having I-tunes already installed. Of course, My Ipod became corrupt.
The first time I tried to fix it, I tunes wouldn't recognize that I had an Ipod.
I restarted my computer, and tried again. This time, It found the I-pod, recognized it as corrupt, tried to fix it, but couldn't download the proper file.
I tried this one more time (restarted my computer etc) and this time everything went through just fine.
I synced up all the files I wanted, but I realized I had the same songs in two separate files so I tried to delete one file. Now, I did this before I unplugged my I pod and in the process of removing the songs from I tunes, My comp froze and without thinking, I restarted.
My Ipod became corrupted again.
This time, It is rarely even recognized, and when it is, it can not find the proper file to restore it "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPod "ipod". The requested resource was not found"
I've tried everything I could find in other threads and none of it has worked.
things I've tried:
-Changing USB ports
-restarting my computer
-Different computer
-the 5 R's
-Praying to God [I figured it wouldn't hurt :)]
-Hp formating (the program)
I'm in desperate need of help. I really don't want to returen my ipod the day after I got it.
5th gen 80gb Windows XP

Restart you iPod to get it recognized by iTunes (hold the menu and center) and since itunes is giving you that error, uninstall itunes and reinstall it. Then you should be good to go.

Incredibly Frustrated w iPhoto (simple copying)

Since 2005, I have nearly 35,000 images and video footage that I would like to COPY onto an[other] external drive.
When I started filling up my iMac, I purchased an external drive for Time Machine purposes, and also created a folder that iPhoto would link to when downloading images from my camera(s).
So today I opened iPhoto and panicked when I only saw photos taken within the last couple of days. I went into Time Machine and Restored...or tried to Restore all 35,000 images back into iPhoto. Something tells me that I was actually copying nack those images onto my iMac because at around 20,000, I got a message saying that my disk was nearly full.
I've looked up how to SIMPLY COPY the folder(s) (wherever the h%#$@ they may be) but only found words of warning or vague language on doing this. I've also thought about selecting all file within iPhoto and Exporting them to the external, but I don't even know if its possible to select/export 35,000 files. I'm also considering spending a couple if weekend toiburn these files onto DVDs.
In the meantime...is there a simple drag and copy method to this?

Thanks folks—I greatly appreciate all your quick help. However, I'm probably not making myself clear.
I want to know where on my HD all these files reside physically? I went into "[my User Name]" Library thinking I'd find a folder called "iPhoto>Images" but nope.
So I go into the Pictures folder but only found specifically-created folders I'd made in iPhoto (such as special events, trips, etc.) but again...no folders that contain all 35,000 images. I'm assuming that whenever I DO find them, that I can just copy them over to an external.
But here's where the mystery is...
I clicked on a photo while holding down the Control key, which then opened up my External Editor app (Photoshop), modified it a bit, then hit Save As...and in the dialog box, I saw the name of the image, then (in reverse order), the name of a keyword I'd given it, then a year folder (in this case 2013), then underneath that a folder called "Modified" which [supposedly] sits just underneath the "Pictures" folder that I referred to above...yet in the Finder, there is no "Modified" folder?
THAT is what's confusing me!

Incredibly frustrated with iMovie 10's user hostile interface.

Most people just want to import video, cut it and share it. Yet sometimes it seems these are the hardest things.
I had a company digitize some VHS and mini DV tapes. So I have very large .MOV files on a hard drive. Each tape has maybe a half-dozen stretches of video I want to separate into new events. Can I pull up this hour long video and clip it at a point like a scissor and move it into an event folder? NO.
The bigger question. WHY NOT?
I attempt to select a length of video then. and drag that to a new event. NO. The entire tape's worth of video is moved. Undo, try again. NOPE. Same. Takes forever to scroll and get the part I want.
Can I zoom out to better navigate such a long piece of video? NO.
It's like the interface designer is a sadistic monster into torturing users.
Look, I realize (and sincerely hope) some of you will explain what's going on. But really, iMovie should be for beginners. The simplest things should be EASY TO DISCOVER AND ACCOMPLISH.

I appreciate the thoughts Karsten.
from Apple's iMovie page
"A major prodution. Without the major production."
"Simple navigation makes it easy to browse your video library."
"Rated S for simple."
"It’s never been easier to make it in the movies."
I'm irritated by the fact that I have to go to Youtube to figure out how to use iMovie. No one ever needed to show me how to use Quicktime Pro 7-- what a useful tool that was, though not a replacement for iMovie, of course.
"a productive tool is no game - so discovering' features is most probably the wrong attempt. Spend some time reading the Manual "
Jonathan Ive and I take issue with that statement. Apple aims to design products to delight users and be easily discoverable. It's EXACTLY what they aim for in their apps.
excerpt from Apple's OS X Human Interface Guidelines.
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/ AppleHIGuidelines/OSXHIGuidelines.pdf
"...you should support the user’s mental model by striving to incorporate the following characteristics:
Familiarity.
Simplicity.
Availability.
     "An uncluttered user interface is essential, but the availability of certain key features and settings the user needs is equally so. Avoid hiding such components too deeply in submenus or making them accessible only from a contextual menu."
Discoverability.
     "Encourage your users to discover functionality by providing cues about how to use user interface elements. If an element is clickable, for example, it must appear that way, or a user may never try clicking it. [...] avoid making controls invisible to inexperienced users.
     Well-designed toolbar icons make the commands they portray recognizable to users. This familiarity gives users the confidence to explore the functionality of a new app.
Don’t discourage discovery by making actions difficult to reverse or recover from. For more information on this, see “Forgiveness”

Photoshop CC program error when opening or placing files. VERY FRUSTRATING PLEASE HELP.

I'm an advertising graduate student that relies heavily on Adobe programs for my multiple simultaneous projects throughout the school year, specifically Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Muse, Edge Animate and Premiere Pro.
I'm using a MacBook Pro running OS X Yosemite.
I have been experiencing an incredibly frustrating issue with Photoshop and Muse, both CC 2014. I'll speak about Photoshop in this thread since, well, this is a Photoshop forum. This has been happening for almost a year now. I figured Adobe would've fixed this problem by now, especially given the myriad of crash reports I send.
While working in Photoshop, sometimes when I go to place a file I get an error message that says "Could not complete your request because of a program error." It used to be that this error was fatal and I would have no other choice but to force quit out of Photoshop and restart it. We all know how incredibly time-consuming it is for Photoshop to open (especially 10-15 times in one sitting), and being in grad school, time is not something I have a lot of when I have deadlines and projects due.
This error is still happening and for the same reasons; however, now I can still continue to work on my file, as long as I don't need to open a document or place an image...which doesn't help very much because I'm doing a lot of mockups and composites and need those functionalities. It happens probably 90% of the time when I try to place or open a document.
For the record, it's a similar issue that's causing Muse to crash as well. When I try to add an image file, it causes the entire program to crash "unexpectedly," as Muse so eloquently puts it.
Until recently I had kept CS6 on my hard drive and would dig it out to use in place of CC when PSCC would crash; however, someone told me that having both versions was likely the cause for the crashes. After much hesitation, I finally uninstalled all of CS6 from my hard drive the other day (the right way, not into the trash can, since someone is inevitably going to ask that question) and I'm still having this problem, and now I don't have my CS6 version to fall back on and now I'm in a really bad spot.
I apologize for all the rambling, but I'm really very, very frustrated with this error, and I had to do something while waiting for Photoshop to restart. Someone please help.

MacOS 10.10? Yeah, Apple is working on that bug. They already fixed the crash in the open/save dialogs, but have a few more problems to address with the open/save dialogs.

Frustrating lack of support for Mission Control / Spaces on Mac OS

I'm posting this on the InDesign board, but this question applies equally to all apps in the Creative Suite.
Is there any way to make InDesign/Creative Suite work properly with Spaces (a feature that has been around for years now)? It is incredibly frustrating to not be able to use this excellent organisational aid with any of the Adobe apps. There seems to be a whole mishmash of problems with it, from pallettes disappearing and moving to a different space to the document you are working on, to entire apps not being visible in Mission Control. Not to mention problems when trying to hide/unhide apps.
When I'm working with any other apps on my system, I can take advantage of Mission Control, but have forego these advantages when using the Creative Suite. Isn't it really about time that Adobe put some effort into supporting these OS-level features. Whether you favour Mac OS or Windows, you should be able to take advantages of the system you prefer to work on.
Is there any word on whether CS6 will support these features? (I'm not exactly holding my breath).
Thanks.

There is no word on anything about InDesign CS6 yet. (Those who know can't say, and I'm not aware of any substantive leaked information.)
I think that Spaces/Mission Control support is probably predicated on the Carbon to Cocoa conversion. So until InDesign is a Cocoa app, this is unlikely to improve. Personally I manage to avoid using Spaces to any significant degree, so I don't really notice these things. Have you tried Photoshop, which is a Cocoa app? Does it behave better?
I don't know to what extent these issues are specific to the app, or all tied up in libraries that are common to all the Adobe apps.

Hi, I have a macbook pro 2012 13 inch, everytime i go to watch a video (youtube/uni lectures) online (i use firefox), the video plays but if i go into another tab, the audio keeps playing, but the image on screen will be frozen. It gets really frustrating

Hi,
I have a macbook pro 2012 13 inch, which i use for uni and youtube etc. I use firefox for my web browsing, whenever I go to watch videos, from youtube or even uni lectures (for all my subjects) the video and audio play fine, but as soon as i switch into another tab, the audio continues to play whilst the video lags and stops all together, freezing on the current screen. The timestamp on the video players also stops, which gets incredibly frustrating when I am watching uni lectures, does anybody know how to fix this?? Please help.

Which os version are you using?
Which Firefox version?
Have you posted in the Firefox forums or contacted their tech support for assistance?
Have you made sure you are using the latest version of Adobe Flash Player?

Im working with 13 psd images in Motion right now and its incredibly slow!

every little thing Im doing is beach balling and its incredibly frustrating. What can I do in my settings to optimize Motion's performance? Im just creating a simple camera move through my images but its almost impossible with the speed its currently working in.
Im working on a 2 x 3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon with 5GB of Memory 667 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM Mac and I have Motion 3.0.2
any suggestions would be appreciated. Many thanks!

Since a lot (if not all) of the work is done solely on your Graphics Card, size of ANY picture does matter! Make them as small as possible. This also means that adding Memory to your computer does not help solve this problem...
There is a very good explanation here:
