New file, open file stopped working

I have Photoshop CS3. Yesterday afternoon it was working perfectly. Today both the File > New and File > Open do nothing. Dragging a photoshop file onto the program does not open it. Creating a new document brings up the dialogue but clicking ok does not create a new document. Nothing happens. Any ideas why this might happen or what I can do about it?

When things suddenly don't do what they should, time to trash/reset Preferences, per the FAQs.

Why does the ath.exe file stop working in the middle of backing up to ICloud? How do I fix this?

While trying to back up to our ICloud account, the ATH.exe file stops working. How do I fix this?

Hi Jaynet, thanks for your reply.
My cells do contain values so that's no problem. It's a very simple setup where I have 2x6 cells with a couple of parameters that are to be used by all my connections in the workbook.
Using vb code to update the "forgotten" parameters inside the connections was something I also was thinking could be a solution. Just felt it would be a shame when the functionality for what I'm trying to do cleary has been built
in to excel in a very simple way through the UI.
Before I go down the vb route I'm gonna see if I can find more info about any fixes for this bug in excel, maybe a hot patch or something like that. (I can't speak vb so building such a thing is going to take a while for me as I have to take bits
and pieces I find around the web to get stuff working) :)

My new iPhone randomly just stopped working and will not turn on what should i do?

Brand new Itouch has totally stopped working...??? is it the battery or is there a freeze/lock button that was activated?

Brand new Itouch has just stopped working.....no response...battery seemed to be fully charged and then my daughter hit the button to shut the screen off..now no response whatsoever.....???

Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't help, try a Restore. From iTunes, select the iPad and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad.
There's more but let's take it in small bites.
Also, read this.
There have been some problems accessing pages on the Apple web site. If the hyperlink gives you a "We're sorry" message, try again.

Ios 5 comes out Wednesday.

The headphones are covered by the same warranty as the iphone. You could contact Apple and get them replaced, if they are defective.

The Maverick Calendar App-Alert Option-to Open a File-stops working after a few days

The Maverick Calendar App, Alert Option, to Open a File works for a few days, than stops. The Calendar alert still triggers, but the reference to launching the other file disappears. Has anyone found and solved this problem?
This Calendar, Open File Option, worked fine without error in 10.8 and earlier, but I was only given the option to launch an Apple Script.

Hi Laura,
I opened a SR.
Thanks,
Mirko

RAW / CR2 files stopped working? ie RAW support seems to be bust

Hi There,
I've just uploaded a bunch of new pictures from my Canon EOS 5D Mark II in RAW format and they are not being recognised. Aperture, Preview or PS 3 don't recognise them. Aperture gives me a dotted line box, Preview does nothing and PS3 just tells me it's an unsupported file format.
Even my old RAW has stopped opening (350D and 40D).
Everything worked fine a few days ago. All I have done to my system is regular Software Updates, but I note that RAW support 2.7 was installed a few days ago - could that have corrupted things somehow?
Has anyone else had problems since installing 2.7?
Any ideas how to fix this?
As a note, I can open these files using the Canon software that came with the camera (which I installed back in the dark ages and never use).
Cheers,
Rob.

Nope. I shot in 'regular' RAW. I have a Macbook Pro too (also with the 2.7 update) and that can see the files fine, so it's obviously something wrong with my config/install. The problem is I can't see how to address the problem. One thing I have noticed is that the Mac with the problem thinks the file kind is "Canon Camera Raw File" and the Mac that is working fine things that the file is a "Canon CR2 raw image". I've no idea how the file associations work or how I can chose how the OS sees the images. On both Macs the file is identical - including the file name and extension.

Applescript create folder from filename and move file stopped working

Hi,
For a while I've used this script but after upgrade and a new machine it stopped working.
I have Mac OS 10.8.5.
This is what I have.
Images (folder)
111111_00.jpg
111111_01.png
222222_01.jpg
222222_02.png
222222_03.gif
I'd like to be able to create a new folder for each "group of files" (new folder 111111, new folder 222222) and move the appropriate files into each of them.
The filenames are always built by 6 digits underscore and 2 digits. Can be whatever filetype. (123456_01.jpg)
I have a script that used to work just fine but now it just creates one folder and then freezes.
This is the script that doesn't work.
set chosen_folder to (choose folder)
tell (a reference to my text item delimiters) to set {old_delim, contents} to {contents, "_"}
tell application "Finder"
    try
        set file_list to files of chosen_folder
    on error
        set file_list to {}
    end try
    repeat with this_file in file_list
        set folder_name to name of this_file
        if folder_name contains "." then set folder_name to ((text items 1 thru -2 of folder_name) as string)
        set new_folder to ((chosen_folder as string) & folder_name & ":")
        try
            get new_folder as alias
        on error
            make new folder at chosen_folder with properties {name:folder_name}
        end try
        move this_file to folder new_folder without replacing
    end repeat
end tell
set my text item delimiters to old_delim
I know that there are many who can do this easy as pie, but if you can find it in your hearts to help me it would be much appreciated.

function createFolder(file) {
var parentFolder = file.parent;
var saveFolder = new Folder( parentFolder + '/' + file.name.substring( 0, 8 ) );
if( !saveFolder.exists ) saveFolder.create();
var saveFile = new File( saveFolder + '/' + file.name);
if( file.copy( saveFile ) ) file.remove();
function main() {
   var folder = new Folder("~/Desktop/images");
   var files = folder.getFiles();
   for (var i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
     var f = files[i];
     if (f instanceof File) {
      createFolder(f);
main();
Something like that should work.

Backing Files Stop Working For No Apparent Reason. Help?

I have a portal application accessing a remote WSRP PageFlow portlet. The remote portlet populates a backing file and the producer application reads the data. It was working fine and then it stopped working for no apparent reason. The data was simply null, no errors or warnings. I put traces in the backing file and verified that the life-cycle methods were indeed being called and that data was there, and yes, both were indeed the case. Data is being set on the SimpleStateHolder and it's just not transferring over to the producer side.
In order to rule out environmental issues, I've done this on multiple machines. Also, I started a whole new project, got backing file setup, verified that it worked, started developing with it and one time I deployed and it was broken again. I rolled out the changes I had just made but it didn't matter. The earlier code still failed to work although it had been working moments earlier.
So, any ideas? Has anybody else encountered backing file issues like this and if so do you have any suggestions on debugging or fixing them?

Extra empty groupName in TDMS file when using DAQmx Start New File & stop DAQmx while waiting for trigger?

I wrote a VI that listens to an external trigger coming from a PFI line and saves a user-defined number of pretrigger+posttrigger samples into disk, and then the DAQmx restarts to wait for the next trigger. I used the DAQmx Start New File.vi to change the filename of each of the next file. However, I found that for each of the resulting TDMS files, there is an additional group that is added in addition to the real data. For example, if the groupName is set to "task_voltage", then there is an additional groupName called "task_voltage #1".
I suspect that this is because the program preallocate diskspace using the old filename for the pretriggered samples, but when the trigger happens and the samples are ready to be written into disk, an actual new file is opened and saved. The reason I think this might be the case is because, say each file would be 50kB and I already have 1 file triggered and saved, before the second trigger comes in, I can see that the file size of the first file is twice as much as it should be (100kB), but the file size will return to noraml (50kB) after the second trigger happens and a second file is created.
Does anyone know if this is really the case? Is there a way to configure the task so that this doesn't happen?
Another question I have is that the program currently set up so that the VI will wait until a trigger happens to return the values. However, this means that if a trigger doesn't happen, the VI waits indefintely, and the "stop" button in the while loop is useless. I have to use the "Abort Execustion" button on the tool bar to stop the VI. Is there a way to interrupt and stop the DAQmx task even if the trigger doesn't happen?
Thanks in advance for any help!

I don't believe there is a way to programmatically change/delete the group name in a TDMS file. What you can do however, is convert between TDMS and TDM using the VIs found in the Data Storage palette and then perform whatever modifications you need using the TDM utilities.

Quicktime AVI files stop working after upgrade to leopard

i have a white 2.0 13" macbook - ran tiger, upgraded to leopard - when i pulled my info off the external - any video file that ended in .AVI basically crashes the finder - this includes trying to play them from the external drive it self - oddly all of my files were locked, which i did not do -and time machine says i cant use my simple tech drive as a backup because i do not have access to a certain file - are these problems related?- everything worked perfect in my macbook pro - anyone know anything about this?

I did un - lock them, one by one, when i plugged in my new macbook into my external, most of the library and a bunch of other random files were locked from the previous back up i did from my old computer - now when drag over any file ending in .AVI to the new macbook, they crash the finder and do not open - every other file type worked fine as far as i can tell- very odd. These AVI files are just short video files that quicktime used to play on my old machines - they come out of my digital camera - quicktime made itself the default player for them and worked great on three other macs i have owned ,which all ran leopard - its so confusing!!!!!!!! - is there a codec or a plug in maybe? - did i install leopard wrong?

Swf sound files stopped working with latest player!

Hi, somebody can tell me if there is a bug in the latest
adobre swf player? Since 3 days my birdsound site (see
http://www.indeks.pt/cantodepassaros/indexuk.htm)
stopped working properly. Sounds from swf files come out completely
distorted, nothing was changed in the site in this period. With an
old ff flashplayer plugin version 9 works fine.
please help

Yes.
Victory is mine.
VICTORY IS MINE!!!
Solution:
Go to C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\mms.cfg
Set
AVHardwareDisable=1
to:
AVHardwareDisable=0
Restart your browser. Done. Camera works now.
I really want to shout this solution from the rooftops, because try Googling the solution sometime. I did. I failed. You will too. Hopefully if I use some more 18-point bold font, Google will index it faster, because that's the way it works right?
I actually had no idea that Flash Player has a folder in Windows\system32 at all, and I definitely had no idea that this file existed. I am guessing some stinking app I installed decided I needed AVHardwareDisable set to 1 for some reason (effers). I found out about the location by just lazily searching through the windows registry for "Flash Player" and eventually saw it pointing to that directory. A little more poking around and I found this file.
Those of you who actively support this forum: please keep this in the back of your mind, next time someone has audio/video input problems with Flash Player. I've found an awful lot of forum posts from people with cameras not working, and I bet a good portion of them need this fix. Reinstalling Flash Player will not fix it. Here's hoping the solution comes up in Google for the next unlucky soul.

Keynote files stopped working and TOC has disappeared?

I have a few Keynote files that I brought into iBooks Author. They originally played fine. But now, when I preview on iPad, they simply won't play. Plus, my Table of Contents has disappeared when I go to preview. I can't figure out why. Any thoughts? Thanks for any help.

Thanks for your help. I tried your suggestion, but the .ibooks file had the same issues. Then I tried creating a new file and bringing a Keynote file in...still the same problem. Then I reinstalled iBooks Author...same problem. Then I got to thinking maybe its got more to do with my iPad. So I was just getting ready to reinstall iBooks. Anyway, I disconnected my iPad from my iMac, and for some reason, everything started working. Bizarre. Anyway, thanks again for your help! :-)

HELP! Suddenly Flash SWF files stopped working in pres!

Hi,
I'm not sure what's causing the problem, but Flash files in my Keynote 08 presentation stopped working and I can't figure out what happened. Would it be because I upgraded to a more recent version of 10.5 or that I inadvertently moved the original Flash files somewhere else or another thing? Any advice?
Thanks!

Thanks Kyn,
You've been a HUGE help.
I've got an external firewire drive with a bootable 10.5.1 partition, so I'm thinking I'll downgrade to 7.2. Your comment got me wondering if 7.2 will run on 10.5.1 or do I need 10.4?
I'm really only going to be using this FW drive to run Keynote presentations and possibly Photoshop. Do you think I'll be OK?
Bob
