Is there a Step-by-step on un/reinstall CS6?

Recently, I've been experiencing unexplained fatal stoppages in Photshop CS6 and Bridge CS6. At first, I thought it might just be a DDE error, but, now it seems more like my installation has become corrupted. Application Manager assures me, all my apps are up-to-date. System is clean (as clean as possible to determine, anyway). My display adapter is an Intel HD Graphics 3000, which (I assume) means (unless I am mistaken), the AMD driver update is not relevant. None of the other troubleshooting steps bear any fruit or are relevant to my situation -- as to cause or condition. I have come to the conclusion that my best course of action would be to uninstall and reinstall. My main concern is "What about activation?
Is there a doc that walks the user through the process of uninstalling and reinstalling CS6 without running afoul of licensing and activation issue?

The activation system has nothing to do with the install. Either it works or it doesn't. Otherwise one would simply run the cleaner tool and reinstall.

  • I want to update my IPad's operating system but when I tried to so,  I got a message at Itunes advising all my apps would be removed?  Is there a step by step guide for doing this update and retaining my apps?  I am completely lost....

    I want to update my 1st generation IPad which has a current OS of 4.2.1 to the latest 5.0 OS.  I tried to do this through my ITunes account but got a warning that continuing would delete my apps, etc.  I don't want that to happen!  I have ZERO tech ability/know-how and need an idiot-proof, step by step guide to performing the update.  Any help most appreciated.  I haven't got a clue how to back up anything on the IPad, either.
    Many thanks!!

    First copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. You should also backup the device (right-click the iPad 'device' and select 'back up'), and copy off any important documents, files, notes etc (e.g. by email, the file sharing section at the bottom of the Apps tab on your computer's iTunes, via wifi, whatever the apps that you use support) - the update process should backup and restore the content but it's best to be safe.
    There is some more info on this page about updating to iOS 5 : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972

  • I just replaced my hard drive and am trying to install the Snow Leppard OS on my Mac mini using the DVD's that came with the unit. Is there a step by step procedure that will guide me through this process?

    I just replaced my hard drive due to failure in my Mac mini. I am trying to load the Snow Leppard OS from the DVD's that came with the unit. Is there a step-by-step procedure somewhere that would help me? This is my first problem with my first Mac. I thought getting to the hard drive and changing it would be the hard part but I made it through that with little trouble. My lack of software experience on the Mac is really slowing me down. I believe I'm not making the right choices in the Disk Utility program.Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Prep the new drive:
    Drive Preparation
    1.  Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    Upon completion quit DU and return to the installer. Install OS X. When the installation has completed you can proceed to restore your data from your backups. If you have an existing backup from Time Machine or another hard drive then upon completing the Setup Assistant you will have an option to restore from another Mac, a TM backup, or another drive. Use the appropriate option.

    Yes:
    Step 1: Delete the preview cache.
    That's it!
    So, the trick is to find the preview cache.
    This document gives location:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/preference-file-locations-lightroom-41.html
    To be clear: it's a folder in with your catalog and you want to delete the whole folder but nothing else.
    If your catalog file path is "X:\My Catalogs\My Catalog.lrcat", then the preview cache "folder" will be:
    X:\My Catalogs\My Catalog Previews.lrdata
    So the trick is to find your catalog file, and since Lr won't open your catalog and run, you can't use it to find out.
    But you should be able to find it by searching your disks for *.lrcat files - do you know how to do that?
    Which OS?
    If you know the name of the catalog it will help, but also: it's probably NOT in with your program files.
    UPDATE: The above-mentioned document gives default name and location for preview cache, so if you haven't overridden the default, it should be right where that document said it would be - is it? (of course you need to know your user name too, but presumably you do, no?).

    What other videos and books are there? that you suggest. for step by step .
    Jeannette

    The various Lynda.com video tutorials are very good, but you have to pay for a description.  The Photoshop User TV podcasts are excellent; there are hundreds of them, and they are free.  They are also what the iPad was invented for.
    The 'You suck at Photoshop' videos on YouTube are both very funny and very instructive. 
    The Scott Kelby books are very good for folk starting out.  The Martin Evening, and the Martin Evening/Jeff Schewe books are as good as they get from a photography point of view.  The Steve Caplin books are the best Photoshop books once you get into it, but Scott Kelby and Matt Kloskowski do some great medium to advanced books.  Matt's Compositing Secrets is excellent, and was Amazon's best Photoshop book for a while.

  • Firefox users cannot presently exercise choice, to opt-in or out of "data collected for improving services." As a result, Firefox is constantly dialing home, sometimes four times a day or more up to 48 times a day. There is some over-stepping and redunda

    I understand the charter on this is to "check-in" once every time the program is turned on, and then once every 6 hours after that, or, once every 24 hours presumably. But the phone-home-effect is over-stepping these basic parameters. If a user turns their browser off and then on, Firefox is still obligated to "check-in" even if it just checked in 3 minutes prior. If the coding is not pre-designed to overstep, or act excessively in a redundant focus, the instance of once every six hours or once every 24 hours, is still overmuch if a user has been doing this (non-voluntarily-participating) for 9 months or longer.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == This started when Firefox took up the initiative of "improving service. to end users" or similar idea, making the web safer for novice users, etcetera.

    Opening question was truncated. Should read: "Firefox users cannot presently exercise choice, to opt-in or out of "data collected for improving services." As a result, Firefox is constantly dialing home, sometimes four times a day or more up to 48 times a day. There is some over-stepping and redundancy here. It would seem the practice of "improving service" has been accomplished with as much information as Mozilla has gathered in the last 6-18 months about its users habits. '''Isnt it about time to give users the option to opt out of that now that most the heavy liftiing has been accomplished?'''"

  • Is there a step-by-step guide for MOC ?

  • Is there a step by step guide for getting splash on arch?

    hi,
    i looked every where for a step by step guide for getting splash on bootup working on arch.
    i know if you use archlinux you're suppose to figure out things for youreself, which i handle pritty well i think, but kernel stuff, i am not sure for now, and i dont have time (exams) to break my system so if anyone could point me to a step by step guide, i will thank him.

    AFAIK there isn't a way. I tried to get fbsplash working recently without much success.
    There were a few rather complicated methods, and I thought the easiest way was to use an initrd image. Obviously, the default kernel already uses one so I recompiled a kernel to have support for an initrd image, but not need to use one. Then I used splashutils to create an initrd image with the splash image contained and booted the kernel using this as an image. Kernel booted, but no splash. I then gave up. I also had to patch the splashutils scripts as they were broken in places. Right at the moment, I don't crave a splash image enough to warrant more hacking.
    fbsplash is meant to work without the fbcondecor kernel patch, so I didn't try using it. This may be a path you want to try out.

  • Is there a step-by-step instruction on How to Prepare a Book Cover?

    Is there a step-by-step instruction on How to Prepare a Book Cover?

    f peter,
    Maybe, but it depends on the method of binding. Presuming a soft cover from back (flap) over spine to front (flap), corresponding to a normal section sewing or normal glued paperback, at least the following steps apply:
    1) Determination of the size of the front/back cover, corresponding to the paper size used for the (text) block (with the addition of the spine thickness); for books with flaps also the width of the flaps (remember to add at least some 2 mm to the width of the front/back cover to get a grip, you may get the feeling by looking a a few books with flaps);
    2) Determination of the the width of the spine: this is determined by the width of the (text) block (with the addition of twice the cover thickness) which again depends on the page number (including possible blank pages) and the paper stock; normally, the printer/binder will tell you;
    3) General layout with final cut size, (outside that) bleed, marks for cutting (which in some applications/versions are termed crop marks) and folding, registration marks, and possibly other printer's marks (you may find that in the Helpfile of the application; marks for folding are probably not included); especially in connexion with a high quality book, a crease for reverse folding some 7 mm from the folds at the spine may preserve the contact between front/back cover and spine/block (this is the first defense line against a battered look and tearing off the cover);
    4) Creation and positioning of the artwork; remember that the folds break the artwork into separate parts viewed separately/at different angles, and avoid crucial parts close to the folds which should form transitions or be empty (with just the background colour).
    As it appears from 2), you will have to talk to the printer/binder in any case. Get as much information as you can get about what they need/want.
    And remember prepress proofing.
    Obviously, there is much more to say.
