Layers disappearing randomly

I'm having an entire Layer Group disappear at random. It is still there in the Layers panel, but it's not being displayed on stage. I had added a new subfolder to the group, and I believe this is the culprit. Removing this subfolder stops this problem from happening. Here are the steps that cause this issue:
My layer group ("A") is initially showing.
I start editing another layer (Text field, any font)
The "A" layer group now disappears.
I select the "A" layer group and Move Tool.
When I move "A", it shows back up. I can then select "Undo" to have it go back to where it was (and stay visible).
If I try to edit another textfield again, the "A" group disappears once more.
If I remove a specific subfolder from group "A," it stops this problem from happening. I did have some vector layers in that subfolder, but had moved them out.
Has anybody else had this happen? I have never seen this issue before. Wondering if it's a memory issue, since I'm using some large font files (fonts with lots of detail). Could the file be corrupt? I tried saving it as another file.
I am using Photoshop CS4 Extended v. 11.0.2 on Windows 7 64-bit.
Thanks.
Brad

If they are in non-editable regions of the page they will not
be shown in
the layers panel.

Layers disappear when inserting HTML

I hope there is a simple solution to this. I am trying to use
layers for a simple webpage and when I insert Fireworks HTML into a
layer, all of my layers disappear and become layout cells on my
page. Has anyone seen this before?

Layers disappear

Hi everybody,
I have an "interesting" problem with my Photoshop CC.
Sometime when I am using my photoshop to work on a webdesign project, my layers disappear. Not in my composition but in the layers window.
I can make them come back when I use the select tool with Ctrl + click, but only one by one. The only way to avoid this problem is to close my psd file and to reopen it, it is a little bit swelling...
Did you already seen this problem and do you know how to solve it?
My conf : Mac Book Pro no-retina 15" with BootCamp Windows 8, Photoshop CC.
Thx a lot.
Sylvain

That my be caused by the graphics card driver problems that windows 8 has.
Does it make any difference if you set the Advanced settings to Basic or uncheck Use Graphics Processor under Edit>Preferences>Preformance
and then restart photoshop cc?
Updating the graphics card drivers also might fix the problem.
Have you updated photoshop cc to version 14.1.2?
Reset the photoshop cc preferences?
Curious to know, since you have photoshop cc, why your not using the mac version of photoshop cc?

CS3 Layers disappear when importing map into InDesign

I have an Illustraor .ai file of a map with many layers and when I import it into my InDesign document
some of the layers disappear. When I open the map in Illustrator they are all turned on but in InDesign some seem as they are turned off or transparent. Very frustrating...any help is appreciated!

Thanks so much for your responses. Although I don't complete understand what the issue was becasue I am no Illustrator expert I did find a solution. I found that there were multiple layers within a layer and also many of those layers had paths/compound paths. So I pulled the layers within out and made new separate layers for them all and removed unnecessary compound paths. So now I have many layers instead of a couple layers with multiple layers within. Confusing I know...but it worked!
Thanks again for your input.

All my saved layers disappeared. Shows only one locked black layer.with red sripes

All my saved layers disappeared. Shows only one locked black layer.with red sripes

Apple changed the save behaviour several times in the past few versions of MacOsX - there is a good article about this:
http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/os-x-mountain-lion-how-apple-rescued-save-as
The trouble is, you should (I know, not much of a help to you at this point) always create backups AND work with versions. So save many versions (x1, x1a, x2, x2a, etc), because when you work within one master file you run the risk of these type of accidents and there is always a tiny change your file becomes corrupt for some external reason. You never know. Disk space is cheap, losing your work is often a real hassle, and can become very problematic when dealing with clients.
So, save many versions, and make backups of your work. And never NEVER open your original files in any other software - always use a duplicate. You never know what that software might do to your files.
Anyway, have you tried searching for the file name on your mac? Maybe, just maybe there is a duplicate lying around somewhere with the layers intact.

Layers Disappear In Muse

When I click the little triangles at the top of the box on the right, after many clicks the actual layers disappear in the layers box. When I restart Muse the layers reappear. I now leave the box at it's larger state and the layers stay there. It would be nice to collapse the box without the layers eventually disappearing after several clicks.

Same here, The layers are just gone. I have multiple layers, at least 5 or 6. Sometimes if I continue working they appear back after a while.
Tried collapsing, expanding, closing the panels entirely, doesn't seem to work.
I opened another page of my site and the Layers appeared again...
Can this thread be moved to the bugs forum or should I repost there? Thanks.

Layers disappear when saving in CS6

My layers disappear when I try to save in Photoshop CS6. They disappear when I get to the last step before saving(where you can select the quality and stuff). The effects stay, but they become kind of crappy. I've no idea how this happened either. I was just working on some pictures one by one, and then suddenly, it started happening. I did nothing differently.
Reinstalling didn't help either. What the hell is going on?

You're seeing normal behaviour/results. Most image file formats do not support layers and there can be subtle to huge differences in the display of a layered doc versus its flattened composite because Photoshop uses imprecise shortcuts to generate the composited display of a layered doc. The display discrepancies can be minimised by viewing at 100% zoom.
While working on a document, check adjustment layers, effects and layer blending with zoom at 100% so there are no nasty surprises lurking in the doc. (Of course, I realise that there's a very good chance that you may be viewing only a small region of an image when zoom is 100%.)
Regarding the JPEG save in particular: when you are at the stage of picking quality/compression, there is an option of previewing the result of the compression. JPEG doesn't support layers, hence the flattened composite at that stage. Your open doc will still be layered after you commit the save.

Non-factory Apps Disappearing Randomly After Upgrade to iOS 5.1

Hi all, I've had my iPad 2 for about 9 months. Since upgrading to iOS 5.1, on two separate occasions, I've had all but the factory apps disappear from my iPad. This happened randomly during the day, not during or immediately following a sync. My most recent sync for my iPad was on 3/14, 6 days ago. I had been using my iPad throughout the day, then unlocked it this evening and everything is gone except the factory apps, i.e. FaceTime, Messages, Reminders, etc. All my media is still there, and all my settings are unchanged (email accounts still working fine, movies still there in the Videos app), but all downloaded apps are gone. No games, none of my work apps, nothing. This is the second time this has happened since I upgraded to iOS 5.1 about 2 weeks ago. First time was the day after. Last time I did a full wipe and restore, hoping it was a one time glitch. I've done some searching, and the only other instances of people's apps disappearing that I've been able to find were related to syncing. I have the latest iTunes, all software is patched and up to date. I have syncing via WiFi disabled, as well, it only syncs via cable plugged into my home PC.
Hoping someone else has seen this or has some idea.
(My battery life is significantly reduced after the iOS upgrade as well, with no changes to settings or new apps. I get a day or two of light use before I'm down to 10%. I was at 30% in the morning when I put it in my bag, and it was dead when I took it out later that afternoon. I used to get a good week between charges.)

If it's a first gen iPad, which I assume that it is if you've updated to iOS 5.1.1 as other models update to iOS 6+, then it doesn't have a camera on it and therefore doesn't have Camera or FaceTime apps.

Menu buttons text disappear randomly

Randomly when viewing my project in iDvd the text on buttons disappear, but the button remains so i can still click on it. Any one with any ideas what causes this or how to fix it please let me know thanks.

Is it possible to have that PDF for a test, or at least a part of it?
Interactive PDFs may not work correctly in the Reader just due to its settings regarding interactivity.

InDesign CC Layers disappear on certain pages?

Hi,
As a relatively new user to InDesign, this may be a simple solution, however some of my colleagues were also unable to help me.
When working on a document recently, I had tried to copy objects from one page to another, however when I tried to place them on certain pages, the objects disappeared and were unable to be placed on the page.
The layers were all switched on and they were not on the master page, so I am unable to work out why they are disappearing?
Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks,

I am experiencing this! Have you worked out a solution?
I lost the background layer on two pages and it still exists for everything else. Master page is applied to these and when I even try copy and paste and drag onto the background layer it disappears. I've tried turning visibility off and on for all layers to see if somehow I had accidentally created a white box that's just hiding everything (extremely unlikely) but to no avail.
Additionally, on these pages I had text disappear from within grouped items and the text boxes still exist but all the copy has gone. And some of the linked images have completely disappeared too. These are on a different layer.
It is the strangest thing and neither me or anyone at work have experienced anything like this. Appreciate if anyone can help.
Cheers.

CS5 Layers disappearing

I have used Photoshop 7.0 for around 6 years and upgraded to CS5. I did the trial download for 30 days and when working with layers if I clicked on the layer to move it around, it would disappear *poof*. I'd have to hit Ctrl-T and I could usually locate it in the gray space way outside of my work area.
I never had this problem in 7.0, I could click anywhere and it would move the layer as if I had clicked directly in the center of the layer. But with CS5 it seems to not matter whether I click directly on the center of the layer or somewhere else, whenever it decides to have a moment my layer takes off into no man's land.
So I thought it was a bug in the download, uninstalled bought the full version CS5 on CD, reinstalled. Same problem..."sometimes" when I click the layer it will just pop off into the great abyss and I'll have to transform it to see the dashes so that I can find it. This bug gets worse the more layers or the larger the file size.
Anyone have this problem or is it just me ?

The problem is that something's going wrong on your system. This is why there's been no fix. It doesn't happen for everyone; I've never seen a drag operation leave a layer off in the weeds.
Do you have multiple pointing devices (e.g., a mouse and a tablet) from which Photoshop could be receiving conflicting signals?
Do you have a wireless mouse? If so, have you tried changing/charging the batteries?
Do you have an optical mouse? If so, is the optical port clean, and do you have a good base/pad it can lock onto to detect mouse motion easily?
Have you tried an alternate (e.g., corded) mouse?
Do you have a reliable way to reproduce the problem?
Though it would be indirect, I'd also suggest visiting the web site of the manufacturer of your video card and updating to their latest release that matches your hardware and operating system.
Good luck.

Data Source Disappearing randomly

Hi,
I am having a peculiar problem with Creator. Please go through steps

I am able to see the data source in server window... but not able to view data
when i see in XML file .Creator\2_1\context.xml, this data source is present in that file
Main concern is this random behaviour and cant predict when this datasource will disappear
My first question will be
"Is my application code responsible for this random behaviour?"
Its a very simple data access application.
Please help me through this. Thanks in advance

Hi!
From error log You can see that problem is that for some reason necessary DB drivers can't be copied to the server's directory with libraries ("An error occured while trying to copy the needed DB driver jar files.") and therefore You have this problem. The reason can be write permission or something else, but not your application code.
Thanks,
Roman.

WLC 5508/2504 - Wireless users having their Citrix sessions disappear randomly! Cisco APs, Intel Wireless Cards..

Last year we built a new citrix 6.5 farm on 2k8 r2 servers. Previously, we had a 4.5 farm running solid.
With the new farm, wiresless users connecting through ANY cisco wireless controller/ap will get disconnected at what seams "peak" times.
For example, a user will launch a published application at 8:05 in the AM, and a few minutes later; the application will just disappear. Within the mgmt console, it will show the session as disconnected. The users device will remain connected to the WLAN, and if they double click the application, it will relaunch immediately.
This never happened on our old farm! We are using the same laptops + some newer updated models.
It is also important to note that fat client/thin clients do not experience this at all. I can open an application on my desktop and leave it open all day, where as if I do such on a laptop it is bound to disappear atleast once during the day. Aside from hitting the WLC; both packets take the same path.
I'm working with Citrix right now gathering logs; but nothing is jumping out right away at us.
Has anyone here experience something similar?
This discussion is the same thing thats happening to me I believe;
https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/11482681/intel-wireless-chipset-clients-random-citrix-disconnects
If you need anymore information, please ask!
Thanks,
