More craziness from PS CS4......

Although I wish there were a Master (or Cascading) Layer Comp that would (when enabled) cascade its assets to the comp layers below it (like the master pages available in Fireworks) which would make menu item changes and common asset changes for web pages infinitly easier on multi-page sites developed using PS CS4, there aren't any such thing. That's what makes the behavior I am witnessing so confounding.
I have a document in PS CS4 (11.0) that has several Layer Comps. These layer comps are pages for a website.
The customer requested a change in the menu structure and logo. In order to do this, I have to make the change on every single comp maually (because, as I mentioned above, there is no master layer comp to make this task any easier - and I have not seen an easier way to do this).
As I was moving menu items around, I noticed that the menu item on one comp was 2 pixels too far to the left. I moved it over and updated the comp layer. After doing so, i went back to the comp layer above it and the same menu item was now moved 2 pixels to the right, making it 2 pixels too far to the right. So, i moved it back 2 pixels to the left and saved the comp layer changes. Now when I go back to the layer beneath it, the menu item is out of alignment again (2 pixels too far to the left - the very thing I just corrected).
Whenever I change one comp layer, the other comp layer changes. What the hell is going on? I can't get the menu items to line up on the diferent comp layers because changing one, changes the other.
Anybody seen this crap before?

using 11.02.
Same situation, creating web page mockups..
Have about eight layer comps. Layer comp applies position, visibility and styles.
Whenever I run the script "layer comps to files", as PS reappllies each layer comp, certain elements go out of whack.
Usually it is shape layers that move from their original position. Have to save each time with the save as dialogue.
And even if I save the psd close and reopen CS4 and psd, when I go to a specific layer comp, it is again not as intended, with the shape layers moved...
Very frustrating.
Is there any third party solution, like a plugin layer comp manager?

Problems printing PSD from Photoshop CS4

My questions are: Does the PSD file have the printer information encoded?
Also why has this just started to show up? My wife has work successfully under the same conditions, files moved and printed on different printers, with no problems in the past.
I (we) have been struggling with a recent problem trying to print PSD files from Photoshop CS4. (Vista 32 bit, Epson 3880 networked) When trying to print certain, but not all, PSD files I get the message: "Before you can perform printer-related tasks such as page setup or printing a document, you need to install a printer." I have been in contact with Adobe support about the issue but with little in the way of positive results. I was referred to a kb link: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/409/kb409119.html Tried all that to no avail. (The first suggestion is absurd to the point of making me wonder what process is used to construct the kbs. You cannot open the print menu when you get this message so....?)
Other solutions are not acceptable for the work my wife is doing, editing high quality photographs for an exhibition with test prints and so on. We are under intense time pressue with four shows coming up in a very short time. The final solution offered is that CS5 has solved all of this. Hum? interesting. No comment except new program, new problems so not a real solution for us.
In searching the web about this problem I have come across many other people with the same problem working from different platforms and even different Adobe products. I noticed that the MAC OS seemed to cause the same problem and that there was a problem with Reader and Acrobat. In every case the problem is never solved by Adobe or anyone else and users find some "workaround". I too have found what we hope is a workaround in our contiued travels on the blogosphere, on flickr http://www.flickr.com/groups/wellington/discuss/72157621548183001/ as "...a nasty, nasty solution" but we skipped the flatten part and the GIMP part and resave the PSD under a different name.
Adobe does seem supportive but not that interested (CS4 right) but I would like to find a real solution and I think many people would benefit from it.
Anyway what I have found is that the PSD files that will not print have been printed on another printer at some time in the past. In my case the Printer was an Epson Artisan A50. The printer we are using now is the Epson Stylus Pro 3880. Even when trying to print wirelessly to the 3880 from the laptop (Was Vista, now Windows 7) that was used to edit and print with the A50, (USB connection) we saw the same error. So it seems that the printer information is somehow embedded in the PSD file (also mentioned in a Blog) and is keeping PS from seeing the printer because the same printer is not there.
Has anybody already found the fix?
I know this is a long post but I have been working on this problem and have heard all of the pat and frankly useless answers and workarounds. Can we find a solution and fix the problem?

Tech support put me on hold for about 30 minutes to 'look up my serial number'. When he came back he started saying he did find my serial nu..... and he hung up. I had already given him my callback number. Yet he never called me back when we were 'disconnected'. There is no excuse for him not calling me back. I have no reason to believe this was anything other than intentional avoidance of the problem. Before he started looking up my serial number, he told me that Photoshop didn't support working with files on a network drive (???). He also told me that even if it was found to be an actual defect in the product, I still owed the $39. The $39 was "not for finding the defect... it was for the technician's time.... (???) Where do they find these people to answer the phones?
Sorry about the venting... I'm just losing money by the day, and I get to pay for these kinds of moronic statements.
Here's the situation, yet one more time.....
1) I complete a PSD file and save it
2) I print it on one of the printers accessible by that machine
3) I then try to close the PSD, but it says the 'file has changed' The ONLY thing that has changed is that I PRINTED it. So you can't tell me PS is not saving at least something about the printing task in the file
4) If I say 'no' to the save-after-print question, I can go to another computer, open the same file and print with no problem
5) If I say 'yes' to the save-after-print question, and I go to another computer and try to print the file, I get the "In order to perform printing tasks you must define a printer" message
6) This scenario applies to any machine. Once I hit 'save' after printing, that PSD can now never be printed on any other machine other than that one.
7) And this is a user problem (???)
Somebody please tell me:
1) why PS marks a file 'changed' and requires saving after doing nothing other than printing it if it is not saving printer history/setup in the file?
2) Why I can print the PSD from any computer with PS installed as long as I don't do a save after printing from one, but as soon as I do a save after print, the file is basically locked permanently to that one machine forever?
Right... and they want a minimum of $39 to tell me a) this is a user problem, b) Photoshop doesn't support files on a shared network drive; c) "...NO.... we don't save printer information in the file, and d) get hung up on with no callback.
I have 40 years of experience in software architecture and development. I know enough to know a little bit about how these things work. And I also have been around long enough to recognize intentional denial of a product defect by the support team.

I upgraded from Dreamweaver CS4 to CS6. but now "an TFP error occured - cannot make connection to host". I spent hours with the host technician and we cant find the error. I reinstalled DW4 and it connects to host perfectly. Anyone else seen this problem?

I upgraded from Dreamweaver CS4 to CS6. but now when I want to upload I get "an TFP error occured - cannot make connection to host". I spent hours with the host technician and we cant find the error. I reinstalled DW4 and it connects to host perfectly. Anyone else seen this problem?
Mac OS 10.8.5
None of these issues are causing the error in DW CS6. We have double checked all of them and we have everything exactly right. Also I have exactly the same SiteSetup in DW CS4 and that works perfectly well. Could there must be factor in 6 that didn't exist in 4? Something that isnt in the SiteSetup but in some hidden dialog box ?
I can also upload to my host using Fetch, a third party FTP. And as I said DW CS4 works fine. So the problem is not with my host, its with DW CS6 in particular.

Thank you Jon, that fixed it perfectly. You have saved me from going crazy. The only difference I see now is in "Server Name" it changed what I had entered (my ftp address) to "Remote Server"; which seems odd -- but it works! Although I know there maybe also some other dialog box I have never seen
Of course I saw that menu item "Import" and but I thought thats obviously not for me: "Why would I want to import an entire website?". I did not however see "Export the selected site" for thats only a tiny icon in the footer. However I would have thought the same: "Why would I want to export my entire website?".
An observation: I've seen this problem in a lot of Adobe software, the menu-names of items are obscure, non descriptive. What would be better would be for the menu names or popups to say "Export Site Setup settings" and "Import Site Setup settings"

From Bridge CS4 to CS5...

...can we save our collections from Bridge CS4 to Bridge CS5? Doesn't look like it. And why won't Bridge CS5 let me open BridgeCS4, which i still have on my laptop?

...can we save our collections from Bridge CS4 to Bridge CS5? Doesn't look
like it.
You can copy the CS4 collections to the CS5 folder, don't know for sure but
I think it only works when you are on the same system, collections are more
a kind of aliases from the original files and those aliases would not find
the originals on an other system.
The collections are in the user library:
User/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge CS4/Collections. In here are
the collection names with the extension '.filelist'.
You can copy those to the Bridge CS5 folder in the same location and that
should work.
And why won't Bridge CS5 let me open BridgeCS4, which i still have on
my laptop?
Don't know what you mean by open Bridge CS4 on your laptop whit Bridge CS5.
While you can have multiple CS version for PS open at the same time you can
have only one Bridge version active. By default the Bridge CS5 files open in
PS CS5, using right mouse click menu you can choose from open with: and
inhere is a list of all applications that are capable to open that file.

Migrate settings from Photoshop CS4 to CS5?

Is there any easy way I can get my settings, preferences, actions and so on from CS4 to CS5?
Thanks.

New problem printing from InDesign CS4 in Lion

After having great success with Aisolve's earlier fix on printing from InDesign CS4 after upgrading to Lion, I'm having a new problems after installing the OS X 10.7.2 upgrade last week. When I try to print from InDesign CS4 and Illustrator CS4 to my Lanier 445c/Ricoh C4500 at my workplace I get the following error message:
"Printing Error: The Adobe Print Engine has failed to output your data due to an unknown problem."
This seems like a different issue this time, as I'm able to print to my home printers, an HP LasertJet 2600n and an HP Photosmart C4270. I thought it might be a printer driver problems, but I've gone to Lanier's site and they don't have any new printer drivers for Mac OS X 10.7.
I also some research on Adobe's site, and found this message affecting CS1, 2 & 3. I tried the only fix that seemed to apply to me, which was re-naming/deleting the InDesign Deafults and InDesign SavedData files. (I have this problems even when I'm printing a text-only file without any graphics.) This fix didn't work.
I can print to the Lanier/Ricoh from Acrobat 9, and all my non-Adobe software just fine, so my work-around to date has been exporting to PDF and printing from there. My big problem is that I need the "Print Booklet" feature in InDesign for a big job I've got coming up this week. Can't do that from Acrobat. :-(
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

mmsteer,
I think I may be able to help you with this problem, which I was having with CS4 when I first upgraded to Lion, and others were having with CS3. This fix is courtesy of Aisolve on these discussion boards:
Remove the Adobe PDF PPDs from the following folders:
OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/en.lproj,
OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Zh_CN.lproj,
OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Ja.lproj,
OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/ko.lproj,
OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Zh_TW.lproj,
Be sure to go to your system Library, not your user Library.
Also, regarding my current problem, I spoke with an Apple tech person and found that the 10.7.2 upgrade apparently is the culprit, and is incompatible with wireless printing to my Lanier printer. I CAN print connected through USB. That's a work-around for now, but I'll need to contact Lanier about upgrading their driver for OS X 10.7.2.
Aisolve was helping me with this issue, too, and assures me that if I'm able to generate a postscript file (which I was), and able to generate a PDF by distlling it through Adobe Distiller (which I am), then I can safely assume that the problem lies with the hardware, in this case the printer driver. This lines up with what Apple told me.

Print Too Small from Photoshop CS4 with HP 8500 All In One Printer

I'm running Windows XP with CS4 and latest patches and drivers. When I print an image to my HP 8500 All in one printer, the printout is too small. Instead of a centered 4 x 6 image on the page I get a 1 x 1-1/4 inch small print of the image in the upper left hand corner.
I re-installed CS3 and it works perfectly as do any other print options, such as word, etc. But from Photoshop CS4 I can find no way to print to this printer without the image shrinking in size. If I print to another printer at the same sitting, the image is fine. So it's a PS CS4 vs. HP 8500 unique problem I guess.
I've see this post in other forms and no help as yet. Does anyone have this one on their radar. I really like this printer, but it's quite annoying.
By the way, If I print to a PDF from PS CS4, the pdf file image is fine. That's another end around for printing also. HMMMM.
I did contact HP and they put the problem squarely back on Adobe. No partnership there.
Thanks,
Glen

Will the printer print from any app?
I know it sounds like a dumb question, but you didn't actually say... And I admit to looking for software problems on an occasion or two when I had forgotten to plug in cables.

I recently had to completely restore my laptop, so I lost the music on my itunes. It's still on my iphone, but how can I keep the music I already have and continue to add more music from the newly set up itunes again?

I recently had to completely restore my laptop, so I lost the music on my itunes. It's still on my iphone, but how can I keep the music I already have and continue to add more music from the newly set up itunes again? Is there actually a way to do this? I can't help but wonder what the stupid icloud is for if my music is still somewhere in the 'cloud' but it's zero help for restoring music when it's lost on a computer....any help even a site that get's around apple would be great!

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
Have you failed to do this?
If so, not good, you can transfer itunes purchases from the iphone to your computer. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
You can also redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

Strange system log error from Photoshop CS4

Hi.
I keep getting this strange system log error from Photoshop CS4.
It comes after a wile when using PS CS4.
I tried to chance the memory settings and scratch disc to see if that helped. It didn't.
I also checked all my ram for anything bad. 16GB in my Mac Pro Intel OS X 10.5.6
Everything is updated to latest included Adobe apps.
This is the system log error

Cannot print to Adobe PDF from InDesign CS4 under Snow Leopard (10.6.2)

Hello All,
Hopefully the subject line says all. Running SL and CS4, and after manually deleting the "old" Adobe PDF 9.0 driver, I am unable to print to PDF — or select "Save As Adobe PDF" under the Mac OS print dialog. This is insanely frustrating on may levels, as this was once a 3-minute operation and now has stretched into two days of futile searching for a solution.
There is a "tech doc" somewhere out there that offers a "solution". But beware, as it has not worked for me. Once you manually search for and remove the Adobe PDF 9.0 driver, you are supposed to magically be able to select the "Save As Adobe PDF" option. This is not the case for me.
Am trying to print, once again, from InDesign CS4 (NOT via the Export command as that will not allow me to set page size, or print separations). There is no Adobe PDF driver there anymore and there is no option to print PDFs. Of course, I can rest easier with the knowledge that everything is easier now in SL.

For a long time I was printing out of InDesign CS4 to a PS file and Distilling to a PDF, either composite or separated. Then Snow Leopard came along and that workflow seemed no longer available. It seems some well meaning people didn't understand a professional DTP workflow.
I had to work between two Macs to create a project and then make separations.
Eventually I went back to the Adobe InDesign forums and folks insisted that a Adobe PDF 9 printer should be available in my print drivers.
On that suggestion I completely uninstalled Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and then reinstalled it.
It worked, I had the PDF printer back and can now print to a postscript file and do separations as I always have.
(Another story is that Snow Leopard killed my Epson 2200 printer)
At one stage I did an update of Acrobat 9 and it caused me to lose the Adobe printer again. Going through the procedure again brought it back and this time after a Acrobat 9 update it stuck.
In my opinion somebody screwed up. It's not enough to be able to create PDFs out of Microsoft Word. There are people out here trying to make a living and need to be able to create print separations for some offset printers.

TS4009 i bought more storage from iclouds and it is not going to the storage please help me!!!

i bought more storage from iclouds and its not showing that i have more storage what do i do????

What do you mean by "its not showing that i have more storage"?
The storage you but on iCloud should show on iCloud and not on your device.
There is no way to increase the amount of storage on an iPhone short of selling the old one and buying a new one with more storage.

I bought CS6 extended yesterday (yes i did). I have CS4 and lots of photo's in bridge (tagged with keywords). What is the best way to get my photos from bridge cs4 to cs6? Is there a guideline how to go about so I don't loose any of my photos/keywords? Wh

The Bridge General Discussion can give you the specifics of transferring your information over to Bridge CS6.

Poor B&W print quality from Photoshop CS4

First a definition:
- Half-tone: this is a gray scale printing process that is required for an printer that can print only Black & White. It allows a B&W printer to be able to appear to have the ability to print grayscale. The higher the printer resolution, the less noticeable the half-tone dots or dithering will be.
The problem with Photoshop CS4 seems to be that, when you use it's print option, it's half-tone is very coarse and does not reflect the resolution capability of the destination printer, in my case, a LaserJet4. If I take the same print and print it from Bridge CS4, the half-tone is correct for the resolution of the printer and the print looks great. Also, from Photoshop CS4, if you do a save-as a .pdf and then print the .pdf, the print looks great, as well.
Keep in mind that the printer driver settings (which there are few) have not been changed during this testing.
My conclusion is that the problem is with Photoshop CS4 print option and I cannot find anyway in Photoshop to change the half-tone settings there. Further, if I use the exact same print with the exact same printer settings, it will print correctly from other graphics programs.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. In my lab, most of the printing is B&W for court exhibits and such.
Thanks, Jonathan

Zeno,
Ok. But the printer works correctly if I do a save-as .pdf and print the
pdf. Or do the same from Bridge. So, how can it be the printer or printer
driver when it works correctly elsewhere in Photoshop and Bridge?

Reinstalling Acrobat 9 Pro from the CS4 discs

I tried reinstalling Acrobat 9 Pro from my CS4 discs but the installation gets stuck at the "Preparing to install window". Ive left my computer on for several hours but the program still hasent been installed.

Hi Digital Dude 1,
I found a few solutions discussed in the forum thread Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 not installing (http://forums.adobe.com/message/2840532). Can you check them out and let us know if you still face problems?
Thanks,
