Mac OS x 10.5.6 PSE 6 Paste Anomaly

Try the following steps:
1. Open a pdf file using Preview.
2. Choose the rectangular selection tool
3. Select a portion of a page.
4. Do a copy (command C)
5. Verify that the clipboard contains the area you selected by:
a. Going to Finder > Edit > Show Clipboard
b. Going to Mail.app, create a new message, and doing and Edit > Paste as quotation
c. Going to Microsoft Word, and paste to a new document
So far, so good.
Now go to PSE 6, File> New > Image from Clipboard, and Ta-Da!
It pastes the whole page from the PDF document, not the portion seen in 5a, 5b, 5c above.
Any ideas?

Wow, this seems to be a problem, because using Adobe Reader instead of MAC Prieview works fine.
In case this is stopping you from your work, you can use Adobe Reader's Snapshot tool.
You can also post this as a bug at www.adobe.com/misc/bugreport.html

My Mac mini turns on but doesn't move past the grey screen..... HELP??

Hi,
I have had my mac mini for 3 months and i went to turn it on today and it wont move past the grey screen with the apple logo and the swirling icon underneath. It had started to drop internet signal and also reacting slow and now this has happened. I have only had it three months from new and i dont know what to do. I have done a safe reboot etc and nothing has worked !! HELP!!

Intermittent problems are by far the most difficult to identify and correct. You can run a test one time and it passes with flying colors and the next time it fails. Apple Hardware Test and Disk Utility are definitely the not the most rigerous tests available and are not nearly as thorough as the tests available to the Genius Desk personel.

MBP running Mac OSX Leopard 10.5.8 cannot get past login screen even in safe boot

Help! I have a Macbook Pro purchased in 2009, running Mac OSX Leopard 10.5.8 which froze while running Adobe Illustrator. On reboot, it won't allow me to go past the login screen. I tried starting up from the disc, running disk verification and repair and repairing disk permissions, and trying to start up in safe boot, all to no avail. When the login screen comes up it gives the name of my hard drive with a (2) after it, which seems strange. Any suggestions short of reinstalling the system software? I don't want to lose my applications/data!

My 1 year old MBP running OSX has got more sluggish. The little multicolored spinning timer wheel keeps appearing a lot more now, and I hate it! My MBP takes drastically longer to boot when i turn it on as opposed to when I just got it. My web pages take a long time to load. Can anyone help me? WHat can I do to speed up my MBP. I am a novice mac user. Again my mac is getting slower by the day and i dont know how to increase its overall performance. Is there any simple software that can boost overall performance or will I have to reformat my MBP? I have a 200gb HD with 50 gb free and 4 gb of ram.
Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
Launch the Activity Monitor utility. Pull down the list near the top and set it to "All Processes". Click on the "CPU" column heading to put the highest CPU consumers at the top. Also click on the "CPU" tab in the lower part of the window to check the value for "% Idle". If that value is much above zero, check the other categories for signs of resource problems. If nothing there points to a possible problem, launch the Console utility and look for messages that might suggest a problem. If you see messages that you have trouble interpreting, post them here and someone should be able to help.

I began using Migration assistant to transfer from my PC to my Mac but it does not let me continue past selecting items to migrate

I began using the migration assistant. It downloaded fine on my PC, and I was able to follow the steps on the apple website, but it will not let me continue past selecting which items to migrate on my Mac. However, if I try to exit out of the window it says migration in progress do not close. There is not a bar to measure the progress of the migration on either the PC or Mac like the instructions say there will be.

Mac will not login and will not get past start up blue screen

I installed a new security update and then I clicked for the computer to restart after it did it would not login into the computer, it just stays on the blue screen and says starting Mac OS X... Also before I had to login with my username and password and it just automatically skipped that step and tried to login. I have tried using the disk utility in the install disk, I have also tried the fsck and nothing seems to be working. Please help with any ideas or thoughts you might have.
thanks
sean

Hi table,
I had the bluescreen thing happen to me a while back. I too tried to login as 'safe-mode'. The first time I tried it I must have gotten the timing wrong because the login window did not appear. I did eventually get the timing right and it worked, however prior to that while I was sitting there looking at a blank, blue screen I hit the enter key. The login window just 'popped' in at that point. It may not work for you but it couldn't hurt to try it.

PSE 8 for Mac

Hi to all
Scuse my bad english. I leave Windows to Mac
First:
I'm just trying PSE 8 and can't clone a zone
I right click to choose the zone to clone and get an error message when I left click to clone: "choose a zone to clone before"
May be it's not authorized because it's a trying version!?
Second:
I can't make a GIF with a transparency color
I choose Preferences > Transparency
I click with the pipette one the white zone of the picture
I click OK in the window Preferences
I register it under GIF format
But It doesn't work
Is there somebody to help me ?
Cordially
Porquy

Hi -V
I click right on the zone to duplicate, then I left click, getting an
error message "Impossible to use the tampon tool, because the zone to
duplicate has not been defined (Option clic to define a source point)"
I dont understand, on Windows I know this operation with Corel
For the transparency it's OK now
Le 19/02/10 15:35, toxryan a écrit :
Hi Porquy,
First:
For clone stamp to work you should first define the source to clone. That you can do by pressing option key (alt key on windows) and clicking on the image area that you want to clone. Note that right click doesn't work here.
Now just click at the destination location where you want to paste (copy) the source area.
Second:
The Transparency settings in the Preferences have to do with the image background, as to what should the background look at a particular area in the image that is transparent.
For your purpose, just do this:
Go to File menu> Save for Web.
In Save for Web dialog, under presets: select "GIF" for file formats, Transparency box checked on and "None" for Matte.
Click OK and save the file at the desired location.
I hope this is what you were asking.
Cheers,

"Save for Web" PSE 6 - Mac

I'm using PSE 6 on a Mac running the latest Mac OS (Leopard, 10.5).
PSE 6 is set as my default editor for iPhoto. The other night, I was editing photos and selecting "Save for Web." No dialog box came up. I could save changes to the photos, and those changes would go back to iPhoto, but no Web versions were saved.
Thinking the problem might be with bringing the photos from iPhoto, I pulled them out into a separate file in my pictures folder. Still, when I click "Save for Web," no dialog box, no saving for Web.
In my understanding, "Save for Web" should reduce the size of the photo, reduce it to 72 dpi, and do (or give me the option to do quickly) all the other things needed to post photos to the Web, n'est pas? So what gives here? Any ideas?

Please verify if the logged in user is able to create folders at location Go->Applications\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 7.0\Presets. Verify if folder named "Optimized Colors" is there or gets created when you use Save for web. If not then create this folder at the location mentioned and try.

Problems trying to restore catalog from PSE 7 windows to PSE 12 MAC, what to do? NO PC with windows available any longer

I have recently changed my damaged PC windows to a MAC. Adobe kindly changed my PSE platform, it means PSE 12 is installed in my MAC but when I tried to restore my last catalog which was made with PSE 7 in windows I receive a message saying there is not valid file in my external hard disk (my backup). I've reviewed the available technical support and know that recommendation is to first update the catalog in windows using PSE 12, nevertheless I have not any longer a PC and even if I could use one, I have not anymore PSE 12 for windows platform. Could somebody please help me to solve this issue.
Thanks

A number of people have reported this error message and have had trouble troubleshooting. (PSE is notorious for uninformative error messages.) A couple of things to check:
- Make sure the file permissions on the external drive are set properly. In Windows Explorer, try creating a couple of test folders, and then use another program like Notepad to try creating some test files in those folders.
- What the external drive originally connected to an XP system and now connected to a Vista or Windows 7 system? That can create obscure permissions problems.
- Is the external drive formatted as as FAT32 or NTFS? In Windows Explorer, navigate to Computer, right-click the external drive, and select Properties.
Note that you can do a backup using a third-party utility or by copying all your picture folders with Windows Explorer. Make sure to also copy the catalog folder (do Help > System Info to find its location). Doing a restore from such a backup is quite feasible, though it may take a little extra time.

PSE 8 install question for Mac PowerBook G4, "Does not support PowerPC architecture CPU..."

I am getting the following message during attempted install of Photoshop Elements 8 for my Mac PowerBook G4 (OS 10.4.11):
"This product does not support PowerPC architecture CPU. Please upgrade or adjust your system to meet these requirements."
I double-checked system requirements listed online before purchasing software, and also checked requirements listed on outside of box before opening it. All looked fine,
Searching Adobe help has turned up nada, any thoughts out there?
Thanks in advance,
Laura

Hi Laura,
I guess you must have missed something or misinterpreted something. Please check the requirements mentioned on the web page: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshopelmac/systemreqs/
which clearly says that it needs an Intel® processor which means an iMac machine, Mac PPC are not supported in PSE 8 anymore.

Ankush

Cannot reconnect / specify volume in PSE 8

I just upgraded from an older version of PSE to PSE 8 for windows. I am running PSE in Parallels on a Mac. The older version of PSE worked fine in this configuration. However, when I upgraded to PSE 8, it seems to be looking for the picture volume in a UNC path established by parallels (//.PSF/Home) rather than by mapped drive (P:\). As a result, all my photos (all 11K of them) are offline. I cannot find anywhere that I can tell PSE to look for the volume at P:\. All I have found is an option to try to tell it to reconnect to the UNC volume (which is the correct path btw)... which for some reason it fails to do. Any ideas? HELP!
Thanks,
Kyle

Thanks John.   So here's the latest. Per your suggestion, using PSE5 I moved my photos to the parallels C:\Photos directory. Then converted the catalog with PSE8. Everything seemed to work out fine. All the pictures were online. Then with PSE8 I moved the files to the P: drive, which is mapped to //.psf/Home/Pictures/Library. A couple things. The folder viewer in PSE8 doesn't allow you to drill down on directories outside of where it thinks your photos are. This wasn't an issue for me since I was simply moving my photos directory from root C to root P.
The big bummer however is that with the move, all the files became disconnected and I cannot get them to reconnect. In the file viewer they are shown at //.psf/Home/Photos. When I click on an individual photo, the properties say it is at [//.psf/Home]\\.psf\Home\Photos\<subdir>. The output from the psedb tool is below. Do you have any other suggestions? I'd really like to keep my files on a mapped drive (//.psf/Home/...) so that I can access them from my mac.

Also, I repeated the process above by taking a copy of my original PSE5 DB and moving it with PSE5, importing it into PSE8. Here's what the psedb tool looks like before attempting to move the the files to the psf directory with PSE8. Note that I changed some drive mappings prior to doing this. This looks pretty clean (I think) ... I am beginning to believe that PSE8 just can't handle mapped drives. Ugh.

Unable to load PSE 10 disks 2 and 3 of 3

I purchased PSE 3 from Costco and successfully installed the first disc. I was unable to install disc 2 and therefore, disc 3. When I tried to install the second disc, I received this message: : "The installation package is not supported by the processor type. Contact your product vendor." I emailed Costco with all of the information and got this reply: "Please contact the technical support for that software listed in your literature as there may be a setting somewhere that needs to be adjusted. This software should run on the computer with the specifications listed."
I have XP Professional with service pack 3 Pentium (R) 4 CPU 3.2 GHz 2.49 GB RAM
I also have PSE 9 and never had any problems with it. Can anyone help with this?

If disk 1 installed properly, you're done. Disk 3 is the mac version. In my combined PSE/PRE 5 disc set, disc 2 is for 64 bit operating systems.

Bridge CS3 slowdown, upgrade to 5 or 6 on Mac?

My OSX is 10.8.4 and I use PSE10 for mac with Bridge CS3. Recently, I have observed a major slowdown in bridge and some annoying interactions with PSE10. I have about 17,000 jpegs (of insects) organized in hierarchical folders, i.e., taxonomically. I have 4 GB of memory, recently installed.
1) It now takes several seconds to scroll down through the images in any folder.
2) Often, when I shift-click to highlight files (to move or rename them), PSE10 opens the files when I don't want it to. Very annoying. I have taken to waiting for a full second or two before I do anything.
3) Bridge also crashes frequently, at least once a day, and I use it every day.
OK, would upgrading to Bridge CS5 or 6 fix this problem? Or is this a system thing? And would Bridge CS5 or 6 work with PSE10?

I agree with Curt,
in addition to his post:
OK, would upgrading to Bridge CS5 or 6 fix this problem? Or is this a system thing? And would Bridge CS5 or 6 work with PSE10?
Bridge is designed for use with Creative Suite applications an PS elements is not part of the Creative Suite or the Creative Cloud. It might be possible to use Bridge with PSE for opening files in but the advantage of using start up scripts for Photoshop is not available for PS elements.
I believe PSE 8 for Mac is the only version of PSE that came with Bridge (version 3, part of CS4) so that might be a route for you to follow as the cheapest option.
Also every new version of Bridge needs a new cache for all the files. (not a big deal but it takes some time with all your files. You have to select the main folder and use 'show items from subfolders' and then let it run overnight to recache again.
Can you specify what computer you are using. While the minimum required RAM is still advertised as 1 GB you certainly will gain from putting as much RAM as possible in your machine.

Update to PSE 13

A couple of days ago I received an update to my PSE 13 - I use it for digital scrapbooking. Ever since I applied the update, whenever I drag a paper onto my layered template, it goes to a different layer than the one that I have highlighted in the layers palette. What the heck is going on? This is super frustrating

Can you please try resetting preferences:
Hold down the (Alt + Ctrl + Shift) keys on Win ( Opt + Cmd + Shift on Mac) as you click on the icon to open Elements. When asked if you want to delete the settings file, say yes.
Launch Editor.
If resetting preferences does not work ,I would need some more details to isolate the issue:
1. What`s your platforms(Win/Mac)?
2. Has your PSE successfully updated to 13.1(Check in Help>About Photoshop Elements)
