My paths are gone!?!?

Im drawing multiple simple lines with the pen tool and the problem i'm having right now is that all of my paths and anchors w/handles are gone as soon as i've drawn them. Even when i select an ancor point i can't see the handles.
I've been tying different answers for a while now and it's not a problem with the layer and i can see the strokes and fill.
Most likely i've pressed a button somewhere, but i have no idea which one.....
I can see the paths when i mouse over them, but as soon as i remove the mouse their gone and i can't use the handles or anything....
PS. Im working with both compound shapes and grouped paths.

Holy hell i feel stupid xD Thanks! have a nice day ^^

    Hi all,
    I was also having the same problem, some JPEG lost its path after saving....
    My situation was, when i made a selection and convert it to work path with tolerance 0.5px and save the path. After that, saved it as another name but it still lost its all paths. I tried to increase the tolerance to 1px and then save it again, this time all the path still remained. we have to guess the tolerance where the path will not lost. I think this is not the case that affect the losing of the paths. After reading all the above posts, i guess it is related to Extensis Fusion plug in problem. I tried to remove away from photoshop plug in folder and tried with the image that caused the losing path, this time i had successfully save the work path no matter what tolerance was given.
    I hope this will solve your problem.

  • ALL pictures in iPhoto *and* PhotoBooth are gone :(  please help

    Hello,
    I have a bit of a dilema here. On 6-27-07 (actually 6-28 cause it was after midnight), my daughter and I were taking pictures in photobooth. I selected the iPhoto icon from the PhotoBooth picture to send a copy of those pictures to iPhoto.
    PhotoBooth froze up after doing several of them and wouldn't work. I am trying to remember from memory (which is swiss cheese from the MS), but I think I had to do a hard shut down. When I tried to go to iPhoto, it acted like it was my 1st time using it and it began asking me questions as if I was setting it up for the 1st time. ALL pictures are GONE. Everything in iPhoto and PhotoBooth are GONE I don't know what I did or how (if I can) to fix it.
    Can anyone possibly help me? Lots of precious memories gone. I was recently going to read how to do a back-up right before this happened. Now I wish I hadn't gone to sleep that night until I learned how to do it and actually did make a back-up
    My husband called Apple and they told him to do something and now that has created approximately 3 copies of random pics and not all of them, or I would just delete the extras. My husband may have done something wrong to have it make extra copies of the pictures it has now, I don't know.
    My husband didn't seem like he was happy with the help that he was getting at the time. So, I found my way here again!!! I have been to the discussions boards once before, but I forgot how to get here (serious swiss cheese memory from MS). I have to save ALL websites that I like to my favorites or I should say 'Bookmarks' or I will probably never find it again. <embarassed>
    **I will tell you a little about me and the use of my mac....... I have Multiple Sclerosis so my husband purchased the lap top to make it easier for me to get online and not be stuck to one chair which makes me hurt bad. I am new to Mac and have always used a PC.
    Anyway, when we purchased it we explained that I would mainly be using it for Internet use and for the pictures that I take (I am disabled, so that is about all I can do but I thoroughly enjoy it), which happens to be more than the average person since I have a new Grandson
    Any help that anyone can give me, I would TRULY APPRECIATE!!!!!!
    Thanks,
    New2Him

    Brenda,
    You're quite welcome.
    That does sound like your original library. It makes sense to me; your husband was probably told to drag it to the Desktop by the Apple help desk person. Look inside your Pictures folder for the other two iPhoto Library folders. If you don't find them there, do another Finder Search. Click once on a found item in the Search window to see its path at the bottom of that window. That should help you locate those folders.
    After you find and rename or delete the other libraries, you will be ready to create a new library. (You might not want to delete those other folders yet - in case some photos are missing from your main library. But if you are sure that nothing in them is original, go ahead and Trash them to free up the space.)
    To create a new library, Option-launch iPhoto and click "Create Library." By default it will be located in your Pictures folder and named "iPhoto Library." You can change the name if you want - say, "iPhoto Library New" before you click "Save." A new, empty library will open. Drag the right corner of the window up so that it fills only about half of your screen. Do iPhoto > Preferences > Advanced and make sure that there IS a check in the boxes beside "Copy files to iPhoto Library folder when importing to library" and "Add ColorSync Profile".
    On the other half of your screen, open a Finder window. Set it to column view and navigate this path: Desktop/ iPhoto Library/ Originals/ 2007/ (Film Roll folders). It is these Film Roll folders that contain your photos. Select all of the Roll folders and drag them as a group over the iPhoto window until the cursor shows you a green plus symbol. Drop them in the main viewing area of the iPhoto window. iPhoto will indicate to you that it is importing. A film roll will be created for each folder that you dragged. [Tip: if you want an Album to represent each film roll, then drag them to the Source Pane (left column) instead of the main viewing window. This will create an Album and a film roll, both with the same name as the imported folder.]
    I have read that the film roll date can be wrong after importing, so you may want to check the dates as you go. Open the Info Pane in the lower left corner of the iPhoto window (click the little i). When you select a Roll, its info will display in the Info Pane. You can edit the Roll's title and date, if you wish.
    When the 2007 rolls have all been imported, switch to the Originals/ 2006 folder, select the roll folders, and drag to your iPhoto window. Repeat for each year in your Desktop library.
    This will recover your Original, unedited photos in the same film rolls as before. What cannot be saved is your Albums, Slideshows, Books, titles, keywords, ratings, and other metadata. These were contained in the database file that was damaged during the iPhoto hang or subsequent hard shut down.
    If you had spent significant time editing your photos, then you may want to have a look in Desktop/ iPhoto Library/ Modified to see if you wish to save any of the edited versions. There is no way to reconnect the edits with their Originals; that info was also stored in the database file. But if you want to import them to your library you may. Be aware that this will cause the appearance of duplication, much like you had in the library your husband created. If you can part with your edited versions, then it is much easier to discard them. (If not, be selective.)
    I'll look forward to hearing your progress. Regards,
    Shelly

  • Images sorted in collections are gone

    It happened to us already several times that images we sorted into different collections suddenly do not longer belong to the collection. E.g. a collection containing about 125 images on one day does only contain 20 images on the next day. All others are gone (not deleted, but they do not longer belong to the collection) and there is no way to get them back to the collection but to sort them manually again.
    Why does this happen and how can we avoid it? It happened to different collegues already (on different computers - all using Adobe CS5.5)
    I hope to get an answer to that soon. We love the collection function but if it does not work correctly, there is no use for us...
    Thanks and greetings from Berlin!
    Claudia

    There was an old thread about this issue here:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/3374043
    comment #19 clearly explains that CS5 Bridge when making the .filelist file for the Collection does not automatically change any apostrophes to %27 like CS4 Bridge would (similarly blank spaces get converted to %20 in CS5 just like CS4). 
    This bug was reported over a year ago and seems to be a simple fix - put back in the feature from CS4 that changed any single quote in paths of the images to %27 - How about it Adobe? I am working off of a server and can not change old folder filenames that contain the offending apostrophe.

  • I was trying to change my home folder nickname to a different name I then restarted my computer and now all my stuff are gone. What can I do to get them back

    I was trying to rename my home folder I then restart my computer and now all my stuff are gone. Can anyone help?

    Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, provide /Users/ as the path, and move the files to your current home folder. Alternatively, open the Accounts or Users & Groups pane of System Preferences, unlock it, control-click your account, choose Advanced Options, and change the path to the home folder.

  • I want to give away or sell a 6500/250 running 7.6.1. How can the hard disk be erased so that the data are gone, not recoverable? thanks, LifeisRich

    I want to give away or sell a 6500/250 running 7.6.1. How can the hard disk be erased so that the data are gone, not recoverable? thanks, LifeisRich

    I'd recommend that you check for Mac User Group(s) in Orange County.  That's where you'd likely find a diehard Mac fanatic who might want to add your 6500 to his/her collection.  Even if you got nothing for it, it would be better than e-cycling it.  I upgraded my 6500/275 with what was a "large" hard drive at the time (15 GBs), maxed the memory at 128 MBs, installed the 512K L2 cache card, a better ATI Rage Pro PCI graphics card, a USB PCI card, and an internal 56K modem.  With it running OS 9.1, it did all of the pre-OS X stuff I needed it to do.  As I previously mentioned, it's a nice-sounding MP3 player.  Internet Explorer 5.1.7 (the final release from 2001) kept it useful for surfing the web up until 2005, when it became too outdated/incompatible with many web sites.  Unfortunately, the demands of the internet and the need for a modern browser, as well as faster processing to digest it all, are what retired many older Macs from active duty.  So my (2) 6500s and (3) 6400s (same tower design) sit in storage.  There is one concern that I'll pass along: The motherboard has a 4.5-volt alkaline battery, that's a small, black plastic cube, secured in place by velcro.  If your 6500 has been disconnected from electricity for a long time, the battery will undoubtedly be dead.  Unlike the many Apple computers that used a small ½AA lithium battery (that I've never seen leak when completely dead), the 6500's battery can and usually does start leaking.  Because the motherboard sits vertically oriented on its side edge when installed, the leaking battery will drip alkaline solution down the board, corroding any components in it path.  I've seen motherboards ruined from this.  If you're going to give it away or sell it, you might want to pull the motherboard (remove the two machine screws on the rear I/O panel, next to the pull tabs).  Slide out the board and unplug the battery's small connector (has red & black wires), then lift up on the battery, while holding down the "toothed" velcro mount with something non-conductive, like a popsicle stick.  Once it's free, dispose of the battery.  If you're interested, a replacement can be purchased for about $5-$7 from battery specialty retailers - it's a Rayovac 870 or 871.  Even if you don't replace it, removing one that will eventually leak is a good idea, (hopefully) before any damage is done. 

  • Path option randomly switches to Subtract from path area PS CS4

    I'm running Photoshop CS 4 on Windows 7 (64 Bit).
    At random times - sometimes more often then others - the path option will switch from Add to path area (what I want) to Subtract from path area.
    It just does it on its own, as I think I"d notice if I'd gone up and switched it, and I'm not hitting any keys or anything, since I'm usually busy creating a path when it happens.
    Usually it goes like this:
    I create a path.
    I right-click and choose fill path.
    It fills the outside of the path (I want to fill the inside).
    I get annoyed, hit undo, select the Pen tool (and make sure the path is selected), and go up and switch it back to Add, then fill the path.
    I start to create another path - making sure it's still set to add - adjust the path, do a fill, and it fills the outside again.  I look up top, and sure enough, it's switched back to Subtract.
    Sometimes it will stay on Add for the creation and filling/stroking/creating selection of several paths and then it'll switch back to Subtract.  Other times it happens immediately.
    Is this some sort of known bug?  It's only started relatively recently (after I reinstalled after an upgrade from Vista to 7).
    Is there something I'm doing somehow in the process of creating the path?
    Other than constantly making sure it's set to Add every time I create a path, is there anything I can do to resolve this?
    Sorry if this question has been answered elsewhere; I did a search, but couldn't find anything exactly like the issue I'm having.
    Thanks in advance.

  • HELP!!OMG!SONGS ARE GONE!

    omg, I just opened iTunes and..ALL THE SONGS WERE GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    It's like I used iTunes for the first time!!
    ALL the songs, ALL the podcasts and ALL the video are gone!!
    WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO???HELP!!!!!!!!!!

    Did this just randomly happen or did it happen after an upgrade? Go to the iTunes TaskBar and under File, Click on Add Folder to Library and search your harddrive for them. Your Harddrive actually stores the music itself. All iTunes does is hold the file path in order to reference it by. So, if the music is gone from your harddrive, there is another reason as to why this has happened. You should be able to find the music on your harddrive.
    Good Luck and post back.

  • Mavericks: certain windows of active applications are 'gone'.

    Since I installed Mavericks, I notice that while changing back and forth between different users, certain windows of active applications are 'gone'. How come?
    In my case it happens to Filemaker.
    FMPro itself is still active, but the window which was open when I changed to another user, is gone when I return to the original user.
    The only way to restore this is: quit FMPro and restart again.
    Strange.
    How can I repair this, or is it a bug?

    Hi
    Well you have the right path. And it does show you the total number of sessions handled by each managed server int he cluster.
    All you need to do is to click on the customize this table link on the same page.
    Add the required columns you need to monitor and you are done.

    If you need assistance with finding any of your restores or attempting to restore from any that happened prior to his incident follow this article
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    IF you do find a backup that has your contacts; I'd /highly/ recommand turning off your wifi network after the restore is finished because if the issue is with your iCloud your contacts may merge back with her's.
    With iCloud you DO NOT want to share the account; bad things happen Evil evil thigns...
    But in all seriousness; if two devices have the same iCloud; iCloud is told to merge and sync infomation between hte two and can't tell that it doesn't belong to the same person

  • Pictures are gone after iOS 8 update

    After the iOS 8 update, I went to my picture gallery and all but 43 of my pictures are gone. I've gone to Photos --> Collections and still, only those 43 images are there. Where did my pictures go and how do I get them back?

    You should be storing everything on your computer.  Just sync them to the iPhone.
    Did you update without making sure that you had imported everything to your computer?

  • PLEASE HELP ............ all memos are GONE!

    These memos are my life and I always have the palm desktop app open.  I rebooted last night because of an update for another program and now all the memos are GONE!
    How do I get them back?  When I upgrade to the new version of hot sync a couple of months ago all of it synced except for about 20% of the memos.  Now all have disappeared!
    What happened?
    Post relates to: Palm TX

    I'm sorry .......... I'm just so frantic over losing all the memos.
    I have a Tx.
    OS: XP Home Media Edition
    Palm desktop 6.2.2
    OK, this is how inexperienced I am with my Palm Tx though I've had it for years now ....... sorry.
    The only thing I've changed is to update the Palm Desktop when I got a pop-up telling me to.  Everything was fine before that.  I updated the desktop and tried to sync.  Everything synced except for about  15% of the memos.  I tried to resync several times all with the same outcome.  The issue was never resolve because the desktop was intact ...... the files were missing on the Tx.  I stopped syncing since the desktop appeared stable and I'm in the process of transitioning everything over to my Droid Charge.  Nothing had been done.
    Last sync was back in March. 
    The PC was rebooted because of an date to another program.  I opened the Palm Desktop and all my memos were gone!
    I'm desparate .......... to the extreme.  Would a system restore bring back the files?
    I just downloaded the NVBackup and will attempt to get that going.

    You only have 30 days to return an iPhone for full refund.  However, you are under warranty, so if you think this is a defect or such, take it into an Apple Store and show them and ask them about it.  If the screen is faulty, they will replace it.
