Multiple files do not open in alphabetical order in Photoshop CS4

When I open multiple files at once in Photoshop, they never open in alphabetical order. The order is completely unpredictable. As far as I know - it's not an issue of Photoshop, cause when using Bridge to open files, they open in correct order.

It's a weirdo Finder, ummm, peculiarity, that when you select things in icon or list view alphanumeric order is not preserved. The only way to copy or open or play a QuickLook slideshow and have the correct order used is to do it from Column view. This oddity has been around for quite awhile and still isn't fixed, as of 10.5.7--so I rather expect it isn't going to be fixed any time soon.

Items not appearing in alphabetical order

Hi folks,
When a user here clicks on File - Open, her items do not appear in alphabetical order. She has to right click - Arrange By - Name.
However its in alphabetical order on mine.
Any idea how I can set hers to alphabetical order all the time?
Many thanks,
G

In the File open dialog box you can change the order the files are listed. I frequently use Date Modified so I can see the ones I most often use at the top. You change the order the files are listed the same way you do in Finder (on a Mac) and in Windows Explorer on a PC.

I transferred my iPhoto FACES to my mini iPad and: (a) they are not in the alphabetical order I had them in, (b) some of the FACES have been deleted, (c) the EVENTS I checked off in iTunes do not all appear in the iPad?

Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there.
Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A Finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for the iPod Photo Cache. Trash it. Start iPhoto and try sync again.

Mov reference file will not open in QuickTime 7.7.4 for Windows

Hi,
I have a mov reference file which opened fine in QuickTime 7.6.2 but since upgrading to 7.7.4 the file will no open. I get the following error:
Error -2002: a bad public movie atom was found in the movie.
The file contains one PAL MPEG2 video track and one stereo PCM audio track. It also contains a timecode track.
See movie inspector below:
Can anyone help me understand why this file will not open with the latest version of QuickTime. I cannot supply the file but can give any information about atoms etc. which can be read using QTAtomViewer.
I am using Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008.
Many thanks,
Kate

For those who want to call, the following menu options will get you to the Quick Time install tech support:
2 - takes you to the Quick Time submenu
2 - takes you to tech support
then, choose 1 for Mac or 2 for windows
Initially, I was told by tier 1 tech rep Shawn that the update server may not be up or that it may be a firewall issue on my side.
After telling him that I have confirmed that it is a problem with the update server sending a NULL (0 byte) response to the update query, he said I would have to just download the latest one in order to have the most up-to-date version and "just check back periodically to see if the update server is working".
He mentioned there was a Quick Time standalone download available (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html), but that is still ~20MB & doesn't help the fact that probably over 90% of the people who run Quick Time have the option to automatically check for updates set and will never realize they're running an old, vulnerable version of Quick Time.
He gave me a case number after I asked for one: 58027568
If you'd like to add to mine and/or Rob's, it surely couldn't hurt.
I suppose my next course is to try emailing contacts at apple to see what kind of response they have. Considering this problem has been there ever since QT 7 for Windows has been released (I don't remember ever checking for updates when running QT 7 beta), it's strange that it's still a problem.

Pdf files will not open upon downloading

I download a lot of pdf docs for work and want them to open automatically upon download so I can screen them. Since upgrading to Safari 5.1, when I download files (which has gotten much more cumbersome) they do not automatically open upon download. Yes, I DO have the "open safe files after downloading" option checked in Preferences. Any other thoughts? A solution would be most helpful. (If anyone has a solution to how I can automatically download files as easily as in prior versions, that would be greatly appreciated also.)

.PDF files will not open without saving first

Since downloading Adobe Reader 11.0.07 on 5/20/14 .pdf files will not open without saving them first. I want .pdf files to open first BEFORE I save them (using Windows 7 and Firefox 30.0)

Keynote files will not open.

I have all system and app updates for my MacPro. However in each attempt to open a Keynote file we receive a prompt "must upgrade to latest edition of Keynote'. I am using the latest version 6.5.2. Files will not open. Help.

Keynote 6.5 should open all previous version files (except 1 and 2)
Try resetting Keynote; perform all the steps in the order listed:
remove Keynote version 6.5, you must use an application removal tool for this procedure to work:
Appcleaner is free, I use Appzapper
empty the trash
shut Down the Mac (Apple menu > Shut Down)
wait 10 seconds, then press the power button
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold down the Shift key,
release the Shift key when you see the grey Apple screen
start up will take a few minutes longer than usual as the Mac is performing a software repair
restart the Mac normally, (don’t hold down any keys during startup)
install Keynote from the Mac App Store

My Mac Mail subfolders on my MacBook Air will not sync in alphabetical order. I am assuming it is a setting that I am not finding since my iMac based at my home office is fine, so is my iPad and iPhone. The core source is Exchange.

If you have been using the mac.com Apple ID to make iTunes purchases recently, then there should be no issues continuing to use it with the new iPhone. I would abandon the new ID as you will never get Apple to merge the two IDs. I have had a mac.com ID for years and continue to use it with my iPhone 4S.
Tell us the issues that you encounter trying to set up the iPhone with the mac.com account.

Change browsers. See what happens.

PDF files will not open in a Safari (v 6.0.5) browser window

PDF files will not open in a Safari (v 6.0.5) browser window, OS 10.8.5. Version 11.0.04 Adobe Reader and Plug-ins installed. Both local and internet files do not load. What is happening here?

Ok. I reloaded v 11.0.04 of Adobe Reader after quiting Safari 6.0.5 . Then deleted the 2 plug-ins AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin . Relaunched Safari and tried to read a pdf from a repository at the URL mentioned in post 10 . The file was loaded and displayed correctly. Also a pdf file from my local disk store displayed nicely as well. What I do not understand is that there is no listing of an Adobe plug in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins , nor does Safari list any Adobe plug ins. So in that case this means that plug-ins for the display of pdfs in Safari windows are no longer needed!
Adobe Reader version 11.0.04 is now working for me.
Thanks for the help and the solution C.F.McBlob

Freehand can't convert EPS files into editable vectors. I
usually run
EPS files through Illustrator and then into Frehand. If you
don't have
Illustrator you can convert the EPS into a PDF and that
Freehand will
sometimes convert into editable vectors (though it does
involve a lot
more clean up than going through Illustrator.)

Alternatively, install & use RawTherapee instead to develop your raw files instead (free and open source).

What kind of TIFFs? Are they multi-layered, for instance? ACR will not open layered files.

I can't open the psd file I did yesterday! It says that the file is not compatible with this version of photoshop.

I can't open the psd file I did yesterday! It says that the file is not compatible with this version of photoshop. I worked in a CS6 version but also tried opening in a CC but nothing happens. Help
more info:
Photoshop never crashed or anything.
I was working in my school's mac but running windows, and the file was being saved in the school's network not on the computer. I thought it had been saved and I also copy and pasted the file in my hard drive to guarantee a copy but none of the are opening.
The file size was appox. 1giga
Thanks a lot

The problem was saving over the network. Working across a network is not supported.
This is the boilerplate text often used in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that normally, it does work, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please cease and desist immediately in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files. Working across a network is not supported.
See:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406793.html
Copy the CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work. It should.
Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.
