Since upgrading to Mountain Lion bluetooth file has disappeared!

Hi All,
Since upgrading my iMac from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion at the weekend the bluetooth folder in preferences has disappeared. My magic mouse doesn't work properly ie the 'touch' on top of the mouse no longer works for swiping or scrolling down.
I have checked on this forum and many others and the suggestions which seem to have worked for many are reset PRAM and trash the bluetooth plist folder of which I have tried and this still doesnt resolved the issue nor brought back the bluetooth file in preferences.
I am at my whits end with this and thoroughly disappointed that this has happened.
Has anyone got any other ideas of a known fix? Is Apple aware of this problem?
Cheers

Hi rkaufmann87,
Thanks for your advice. I ran the verify disk and it told me that my macintosh HD was corrupt and advised me to repair the disk (cmd R upon start up), so I did this and still no Bluetooth file in preferences.
Perhaps now I should reinstall Mountain Lion?
Thanks

PSD file has printer freaking out!

Okay, maybe not freaking out, but he has concerns.
So, this is the sit-rep:
isolated a person in PS with a translucent background and saved it as a PSD file.
Placed this into an ID page.
Created several ellipses and sent them to the back so the rings appear from behind the PSD image when they get past the persons body into the translucent part of the image.
Make sense?
Really simple.
The printer is concerned his RIP is going to be confused. I created a PDF of the page and nothing strange shows up. (Though I have had illustrator EPS files placed into ID do wacky things even though they showed up fine in the PDF)
Thoughts?
Thanks.

Hi Peter,
How are things? Thanks for the input.
This is unfortunately not the state of things there. Nobody seems to be around to look at things when it matters. The truck shows up with the pony and thats just the way it is when you get it.
Would it surprise you if it did odd things? I mean, it surprises me a bit to be honest. There are no layers clogging up the PSD file etc.
It's just this:

Placed PSD file has Jagged Edge

Products:
PS CC
AI CC
I have a 2500 x 4088 px PSD file with no jagged edges, until it is placed into Illustrator.
I believe that I have placed the PSD file in its original size, but may be wrong. My artboard was created to be larger than the original image, and when placing the file I simply clicked on the artboard.
I have not knowingly increased or reduced the dimensions of the placed file.
Will the jagged edge be present if I place the AI file into InDesign?
Is there a setting somewhere that I need to change to remove the jagged edge?
Thanks

Hi John, thank you.
I verified that the anti-alias box was checked, and it was. I usually do not print, so your suggestion was well taken. When the document printed, the lines were as smooth as I expected them to be.
A few days ago when troubleshooting my Windows 8 system, it recommeneded that I perform a Refresh -- so I did. It notified me that it would keep all files and I thought nothing more of it, but learned that the refresh deletes all installed programs. I had to reinstall all Adobe products (among others).
After the re-install I created the attached image. There was a version of the same size that I created before the refresh, and when I placed that image into Illustrator, it appeared smooth with no jagged images.
I don't know why the jagged edges are present on the screen, but ultimately it's the print version that matters (save as to web produced smooth edges, too).
Thank you for your response, it was very helpful.

Placed bitmap eps files into PSD files has no transparency.

What happened to the transparency in eps bitmap images? I used to be able to create a duotone with transparency in earlier versions of Photoshop. I would save a black & white image, as bitmap eps file. I could import/place it into a psd file to create a transparent dutone image. Now when I place into a PSD/photoshop inside the iamge is white and no transparency. I'm using CS6.

What happened to the transparency in eps bitmap images?
I think eps supports Clipping Paths but not Transparency.

Imported .psd file has a different black

I have a indesign file with a 100 % black background, where I have Placed a .psd file. But when I print the document, the transparent areas of my .psd are printed as dark grey.
Does anyone know where I went wrong? It's quite frustrating, even without a deadline.

OK.
First, let me say that your file prints fine here, just as it is, on my Fiery-driven Xerox Phaser 790, both directly from InDesign and from a PDF/X-1a export in Acrobat, so I think the problem is in your workflow someplace.
There are probably a combination of things happening, but the first thing I would do is change the background color to an RGB Black rather than the default 100% K black swatch. Keeping the background and the image in the same color space will help when it's time to do any conversion, and I think you may be donig multiple conversions before the toner hits the paper. Change the flattener space to RGB, too.
This is very similar to your use of [Registration], but will generate a CMYK rich black that is actually printable, in theory, on any equipment. You may still have some trouble with fusing the toner and flakeoff if the mix is too dense, so if that happens, reduce the density of the RGB black a bit, it should still be much darker than 100%K.
If that by itself doesn't fix the problem, the next step I would try would be to export a PDF. Try both the [High Quality Print] and [PDF/X-1a] presets to start. I picked those because the first one does no color conversion or flattening (and should yeild a file with an sRGB background) and the second will convert to your CMYK profile and flatten the transparency.
Let us know what results you get at that point, and we can take more steps if necessary, but I don't want to complicate things too much before we have to.
Oh, and before I forget, you need to add a bleed and extend that black background for trimming unless your print is capable of printing all the way to the edge on that size sheet (and I'd add it anyway, even if the printer is supposed to print borderless).

Question : In "Mail" my entire SAVED FILE HAS DISAPPEARED....how can I retrieve it?

In MAIL my heading for SAVED ACCOUNT for myself and my husband has completely disappeared with all our saved stuff. How can I retrieve these saved files? thanks for anyone's help.

As the link says: "Make sure Mail is the current app."
Once you open Time Machine, you will see your folder list on the left like this just as you do when not in Time Machine:
If you have more than one "Sent" mailbox (as I do above), just click the little flippy triangle to the left of "Sent" to see them all.

My "keepers" file has disappeared .How can I get it back?

I used this file for anything important and it worked fine for awhile and then one day it disappeared, no explanation.Is there anything that I can do to bring it back or has this --------- program deleted it forever?

How is that related to Thunderbird?

Pages file has disappeared

I have a deadline in 3 days and my work, 'Journal', a pages document has been replaced with a folder 'Journal.pages' with the following file structure:
Data (folder)
Index.zip
Metadata (folder)
preview-micro.jpg
preview-web.jpg
preview.jpg
Is there any way to get my document back? This was the only copy, which I know was very stupid of me, but if anyone could help that would be great.
I didn't delete the file, nor empty my trash but the file is nowhere to be seen. It is not even in 'recent files' when I open pages.

Pages files are "packages", which basically means they are a collection of files and folders pretending to be one file to the user. There is a flag in the file system that maintains this, sometimes known as the bundle flag. It looks like this flag has been cleared.
If you have Xcode installed, you can set the flag with the command line tool setFile. If you don't have that, there are some third-party utilities that can do this.
Another thing you might try is changing the file extension of "Journal.pages" to "Journal.pages.bundle". And then back to pages.

I struggle with hard drive space even without Time Machine. Do you know if there would be any way to recover the document from this folder? That is, if the content is even still in there.
Files with no backup are waiting to be lost. Buy an external drive, at least 3 times the size of your data, and plug it in. Otherwise, you will be back here with worse problems.

Help - I deleted a Numbers document from my IPhone in ICloud and every document in my Finances file has disappeared off my IMac

I went to update my IPhone4 and got the message that there was not enough space and to delete something from ICloud. So I went to ICloud and deleted a Numbers document that I didn't need anymore - it seems that all my Numbers financial document have disappeared - all my Monthly and Annual spreadsheets for the past few years, including a spreadsheet with House expense - I really need all these spreadsheets. How do I get them back?

If you are backing up your Mac using Time Machine, open Finder and navigate to "~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~Numbers/Documents" (without the quotes) from the Go>Go to Folder menu. Then open Time Machine and go back to an earlier point in time until you see your Numbers documents, select them and click Restore, then exit Time Machine.

My Welcome file has disappeared

Hey,
I was creating a totally new version to my webpage and now I do not have a welcome page so it does not load up. What do I do?
Chris

Hi Chris
How are you publishing? To folder or to .mac?
You dont need a Welcome page as such, the top page of your site in the iWeb Site Organizer is the default Welcome page.
Did you add a second site in iWeb or did you delete the old one and start from scratch? If you added a second one in Site Organizer and you publish to .mac, select the second site in iWeb and then click on Visit.
If you have published two sites then your urls become:
http://web.mac.com/YourUserName/iWeb/Site1
http://web.mac.com/YourUserName/iWeb/Site2
Make sure that the W in iWeb is a capital, also the uppermost site in the Site Organizer does actually retain the short url of http://web.mac.com/YourUserName

I have a psd file made in Photoshop CS5 which I have to send to a Graphic Designer who works with the old Photoshop Version CS3. He can`t open the psd.

What to I have to do now? Is there the same possibility as in InDesign to export it as an Interchange Format (IDML), so that he can open the document without any problems?
Thank you for your help...

Those are the three possible settings – which one have you chosen?
Regardless, if the psd file has been saved in Photoshop CS5 with Maximized Compatibility it should be able to be opened in Photoshop CS3.

Renamed PSD files in AE

This seems to be a common problem and I haven't been able to find an answer. Many times, I am using PSD files given to me from our artist. I'm using the layers of the PSD file in my AE comps. During the course of the project, the PSD file needs to be renamed. I then have to manually relink every layer individually to my AE project. I know when you move a PSD from one location to another, AE will automatically relink the file once the new location is discovered, but is there ANY easier way to relink all the layers of a PSD file if the PSD file has been renamed?

Not that I know of. That's an inherent limitation - AE simply doesn't check the file unless it's opened nor does the PSD format provide any options for persistent layer identification regardless of the layer structure and names. One of those legacy things... Of course one could create scripts in PS and AE that take care of this by dumping the layer references in one program to a text fiel and then automatically re-assign stuff in the other based on that dump...

Editing PSD file in Lightroom?

I'm creating a PSD file for a client so she can edit the text in the document herself. I thought I read somewhere that PSD files can be edited in LR. I've never used LR, but just downloaded it to take a test drive, but can't figure out how to edit the document. Any tips?

Lightroom works in a completely different way than Photoshop or other pixel editing programs. In order for you to edit that PSD file has to be imported into the Lightroom catalog. It might be to your advantage to just use Photoshop, if you have it, because understanding how Lightroom works is essential in order for you to be effective.
If the PSD file has a text layer, you will not be able to access It separately using Lightroom. Lightroom does not use layers, and you cannot work with text like you do in Photoshop. I just believe, based on what you have told us, that Lightroom is probably not a good choice for this particular project.

How to speed up my saving and loading of a psd. file?

Hi.
My laptop's 1 TB hdd recently crashed and I replaced it with a 500 GB ssd and Photoshop loads now from 10-12 sec since i re installed Photoshop cc.
Unfortunately, the time it takes to save and load psd files has increased dramatically (I'm comparing it to how it was with my normal hdd). It also, sometimes freezes a bit and then after about 10 sec it unfreezes.
I have looked online for help, but have been unable to find anything that could really help me (or it just went over my head, as I am not very tech savvy).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
If this has been discussed before, can someone please post the link for me.

The rule of thumb I follow to figure out scratch space says to figure on 50 to 100 times the size of your largest file ever multiplied by the number of files you have open. I have seen the scratch file exceed 800 GB once, an admittedly rare occurrence, but it often exceeds 200 GB when stitching large panoramas and the like.
As an example—and stressing that I'm aware that others have even more scratch space than I do—I keep two dedicated, physically separate hard drives as my primary and secondary Photoshop scratch disks and a lot of GB free on my boot drive for the OS. I also have 16 GB of RAM installed.
Additionally, if you only have a single HD, i.e. your boot drive, you'd need it to be large enough to accommodate both the swap files of the OS as well as Photoshop's scratch.
