OS X doesn't like Photoshop anymore

Been running Photoshop CS on my machine for a while now 1 1/2 years with no problems. Recently it's become sluggish. No other applications have been affected. I've repaired permissions and a host of other things but no luck.
OS X is also not propagating file opening inofrmation to Photoshop when a file is "double-clicked" outside of Photoshop. ie. when a file is double-clicked in 'finder' or another application that would call up photoshop and then open the file in Photoshop. When I double click on a photoshop file (ie. a .PSD file, it will launch photoshop but won't open the file.
Any help before I go bug the photoshop forums?

OS X is also not propagating file opening information to Photoshop when a file is "double-clicked" outside of Photoshop.
That's usually caused by a missing Photoshop file. If you've recently done an Archive and Install of OS X, then that's the problem. There's an important file that never makes it to the new Library folder. Open the /Library/ScriptingAdditions/ folder within the "Previous System" folder and move the file "Adobe Unit Types" to the same location in the active Library folder. If you've already deleted the Previous System folder from your hard drive, then the only way to get that file back is to either reinstall Photoshop, or retrieve it from a backup of your hard drive.
If you haven't done an Archive and Install, then you need to reset the LaunchServices database. OnyX is one way to do that. Make sure to download the version for Panther. Once in OnyX, click on the Maintenance button. You'll see two choices for the LaunchServices database. Choose the Reset option and click the Execute button. Note that if you've changed any other types manually, you'll have to reset those. Such as PDF files, which will now open in Preview again rather than the Acrobat Reader if you had it set that way.

KDE 4 suddenly doesn't like theming anymore :S [solved, mods plz read]

Moderators, please move this thread to the packaging section since it'd probably go better there now.
So I installed KDE a while ago, slowly. First all I needed was Kolourpaint, then after KDE 4 came out, the whole of KDE. And I've slowly been warming to the desktop as time has gone on, and will likely extract bits of it out, eg the desktop manager, and stuff them into my own highly customized desktop when I get my new box.
At first, everything worked just fine - happy user here (I use Openbox, but having KDE there was just... nice. I think KDE is very high quality, etc, blah blah KDE vs. GNOME etc etc ).
Then one day KDE randomly decided to, like, go all icky. Well, maybe not entirely randomly - while updating KDE (for whatever reason, I can't exactly remember why I upgraded, except that I noticed I was installing KDE 4.1.2 or something when I did start the upgrade), I did a quick df -h to make sure I'd have enough space and discovered that my home folder had about 250MB or something like that left in it. (I'm really low on diskspace in my home folder, but I have a spare 18GB partition on my box at /storage with 12GB free, I plan to move a fair chunk of data across sometime) so I decided to ^C the upgrade to move a few hundred MBs of stuff over onto /storage, enough for me to get KDE installed. Then I continued the upgrade, and it got me here. Note that I CTRL+C'd the upgrade while pacman was downloading, not installing, and that's why the following makes no sense.
Some other things I've done:
- Tried to 'startkde' in an Xnest window too many times to count, with it failing 88% of the time (I was aiming for the other 22% success rate to continue what I was doing )
- Tried to figure out how to make KDE 3 apps look nice / use my KDE 4 theme (I discovered qtconfig in this period)
It used to have the awesome KDE 4 theme, the first time it happened it started up with the icky, horrible CDE theme.
I was like "AGH MAJOR EW" and ran to systemsettings to try and change my theme back... only to discover that approximately 100.1% of the themes available had disappeared, leaving only 5 very icky ones in their place, CDE, Cleanlooks, Win9x, Motif and Plastique. That last one suggests that KDE 3 has somehow taken over my system.
I've reinstalled the kde group.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled KDE. Twice.
I'm thinking it's something in my home folder.
What do I do next?

have you tried
rm -r ~/.kde4?
I know I've had some upgrade trouble at some points with kde4 and removing all kde4 settings and starting over is a usually a good place to start.
FWIW, I have all the themes you mentioned for qt4 as well, so not necessarily any indicator of kde3 at work.

After Effects Doesn't Like Photoshop!

Hi Everyone. I was using CS4, got upgraded to CS5, load the project, and voila! I get this error every-single-time:
The funny thing... is that I HAVE NO PHOTOSHOP FILES OPEN!! None in the Composition, the Project's Palette, NOWHERE!
Also, in the Info Palette, I get this:
Which is bizarre, since I have Multiprocessing turned OFF! So let me show you my settings in the Preferences:
And My Macs':
Also, I downloaded and upgraded A.E. to the 10.0.1 patch.
Any sugestions as to what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in adavance, and excuse my English!

This has nothing to do with Photoshop. A "Photoshop file" is any image file that is handled via a specific loading routine. This can be a TIF, a JPEG or something else. The error message is just not very specific about it and you need to tell us these things yourself. I suggest you simply do a File --> Collect in CS4, using the log-only mode and then post the relevant sections here. On that same note, it may help if you use this procedure along with the consolidate and remove unused files options to clean your CS4 project of items that may not even be used anywhere. Who knows, you could get rid of the offending file already this way...

I want to re-use my old airport express base station but airport utility doesn't recognise it anymore (it dates from 2005) i would like to use it to connect to my speakers only

I have an old airport express base station from 2005
I would like to have a network on it so i can put it upstairs in a room and connect my speakers to it so i can send my music (from itunes) over the airport to my speakers.
I reset it and now i want to configure but the Airport utility doesn't recognise it anymore.
Can i update the firmware? has it become useless because too old or what can i do?
I work on macbook pro with macOSX 10.9.4
Can someone give me some tips please
thanks

Please locate the model number on the side of the AirPort Express. Hard to see.....gray lettering on a white background....so you may likely need a magnifying glass and good lighting to see it.
The model number starts with a "A" followed by four numbers. If you see A1084 or A1088, unfortunately AirPort Utility 6.x in Mavericks OS X (10.9.4) does not support these older models. However, you can still administer these models if you have a Mac.....or can borrow one for a few minutes....using Leopard (10.5.x) or Snow Leopard (10.6.x), or a PC with AirPort Utility installed on the device.

New iTunes on Mac doesn't allow me anymore to select all songs and 'Get info' to adjust the volume, like the old one. It says"your selection contains more than one type of media". They are all songs! Help please!

Not true. Select "Kind" as a sort category by right clicking the headings
Then click to sort by Kind
If your Import Settings are for Apple Lossless, AIFF, AAC or whatever the majority of your files are, convert MP3s to that file type.
I've presently got 17,000+ files in my library, and they're ALL MP3 or M4B(Audiobooks). If they weren't when I got them, I converted them. Saves a LOT of hassels with just this type of situation. Besides I have two non Apple MP3 players that WON'T work with other file types besides MP3 so, EVERYTHING I have has to be MP3.

How do I export HDR photos made on Photoshop CS5 onto a flashdrive so I can use them on a window machine for commercial purposes. Adobe support claims it is a apple problem not theirs. PS the other window machine doesn't have Photoshop cs 5 installed?

Hi, How do I export HDR photos made on a macpro with photoshop cs5 onto a flashdrive so they can be imported correctly into a windows machine that doesn't have photoshop installed on it? Already exported to a HP flashdrive but they do not even show up on a windows machine. Need that capabillity since this is for commercial printing. My wife's mac laptop only shows 3/4 of the picture the rest is grayed out. Adobe support claims it is a Apple problem. Love the finger pointing and hold me blameless atitude on their part. Told them creating a picture should be like gas that can be used in anybody's car, just not their Adobe equipped ferrari. Do I need to convert the file struture so it can be read by the window machine? How would I do that ? Any comments appreciated. Doug

I certainly wouldn't expect to read native PS CS5 files with all features intact and supported on a machine that doesn't have CS5 installed. Try saving the files as flattened (no layers) TIFFs before moving them to the flash drive and trying to open them on the Windoze box.

When I click on a link in an RSS feed it used to indicate that I'd viewed that particular link by changing the icon to the left of the link. It doesn't do that anymore. [SOLVED]

When I click on a link in an RSS feed it used to indicate that I'd viewed that particular link by changing the icon to the left of the link. It doesn't do that anymore. This started happening right around the time I updated to Firefox 4, but may have been a little before that too. For some things, like news and web comics it's just a little annoying. For important things like looking for new journal articles for my job, it literally makes my job more difficult. So fixing this would make my day.

I seem to have solved my own problem. When I disabled the add-on "Tab Renamizer" everything started working fine.

Custom brushes in Flash like Photoshop?

I just started using Flash for my animations and I want to ask if one can create custom brushes in Flash like Photoshop?
Also I imported an embeded video avi into Flash and I want to reduce the opacity of the video so I can create a new layer over it and draw over the frames with the video as reference.I dragged the movie into the stage and converted to movie clip and reduced the opacity but its not showing on the stage when I go to the part of the video I want to draw over.
I use Flash CS3.
BTW,why isn't the bucket tool & selection tool like Photoshop?It makes shading colours problematic?or is it because its vector?

I was not able to access the mc inside the scroll pane with the code:
TweenLite.to(mc_pane2.content.scrollpaneBckgrnd_mc.FloraLytell_btn, 1,
I had to explicitly specify that it is the mc I am accessing inside the
scroll pane, otherwise I was getting errors:
TweenLite.to(MovieClip(mc_pane2.content).scrollpaneBckgrnd_mc.FloraLyt ell_btn,
1, );
That's OK. It's because ScrollPane::content is of a type DisplayObject. DisplayObject does not contain property named scrollpaneBckgrnd. MovieClip, however, is a dynamic class and enables you to (try to) access virtually any property you can imagine. If it doesn't exist in your particular instance of a MovieClip, you'll get an runtime error.
P.S. If you have time can you briefly tell me why is there a line of code
in your sample:
mc_pane2.update();
ScrollPane::update() measures your content and sets scrollbars accordingly, if needed.
Can it be changed with the size specified for the mc_pane2:
mc_pane2.setSize(556, 300);
what would be the major difference between them?
They definitelly don't do the same. ScrollPane::setSize() sets size of your scrollpane If you get same results using one or the other function, it's because your content is smaller than 556x300px and you don't need scrollbars so in this particular case ScrollPane::update() would "do nothing".

Withe the new photo upgrade, why can't I edit in Photoshop anymore?

I just upgraded to the new photo upgrade and I can't edit in Photoshop anymore!!! Help????
External Photo Editors are not supported in Photos. You can export any photo to the Desktop and then pass them the Photoshop for editing and reimport them.
The problem is, that Photos is a completely new designed photo application, designed for Yosemite and the MacOS X versions to come. Many differences are under the hood. It uses the new system libraries and frameworks for more efficient image processing on the new powerful macs, like the mac pro, it is extensible by app extensions, if other developers will add functionality, and most important, it brings integration with iCloud Photo Library. Photoshop and other external editors have not yet been upgraded to support this. I hope, the updates will come soon.
Some features are still missing however, and you can continue to use iPhoto, if you like. Or create a small Photos library for testing and explore Photos, while keeping your main libraries in iPhoto.

Apple Menu: "Recent Items" doesn't work proper anymore

Hi,
i switched from 10.5.8 to 10.6.4 and recognized that the "recent items" in the Apple Menu doesn't work proper anymore.
While OS X is running everything works fine. When i restart the computer all recent items are cleared.
I want it to behave like it did in 10.5.8, that all recent items where displayed even after a restart.
I recognized that the "open recent" command in applications like TextEdit or Preview behave the same. While the Program is running everything works fine . If I close and restart the app, open recent is cleared.
I tried do adjust it under Appearance in the System Preferences, but if i set all Numbers of recent items to "none" for example and restart the computer it will be set for each (Application, Document, Server) back to 10 again.
Hope someone can tell me a solution because i use "open/ recent Items" alot and it really disturbes my workflow.

Hi Andy,
thanks..i checked the preferences for the com.apple.recentitems.plist and didn't find one.
It seems like the system doesn't write down which items i loaded. I trashed this .plist earlier because i
saw that hint somewhere else.
i did like you said and created a new user account, tested different apps and documents, restarded and everything was displayed proper in the "recent items" Appel menu and in the "open recent" of every App.
I searched in the test account for the com.apple.recentitems.plist, copied it to the preferences of my account and restarted the computer. In the "recent items" displayed the Items that i used with the test account but after several tests it is clear that the system doesn't write down the recent items when i open my account. The com.apple.recentitems.plist still showes only the items i used with the Test account and the info of the file says that it wasn't touched sinced i copied it from the test to my account.
The Terminal command didn't change anything. The question is why doesn't the system write down wich items and documents i used when i'm in my account?

After upgrading to iCloud, iCal doesn't send invitation anymore

Hi guys.
I've this "simple" problem.
After upgrading to iClous, my iCal doesn't send invitation anymore!
Please, help me!
Federico.

I've found some other people discussing this recently in the internet (although not as many as I thought) so it seems to be a generalized problem.
I wouldn't want to swtich back to local calendar and sync everything back but this is an annoying problem becase there's no way you can know if the invite went out or not.
Did someone find an official acknowledge of this or something like that? I'm not sure if it's something in our configuration that's causing the problem. My Apple ID email is my personal email address and my calendar used to send invites through my work account (which is the only account configured in my mac currently). I'm not sure what mechanism does iCloud use to send the invites (it didn't work in any device or even in iCloud.com itself).
Best,
Rod

Quick drop list doesn't come up anymore :( LV2009f2

My quick-drop list doesn't come up anymore when I press ctrl-space. When I initially press ctrl-space (after loading LabVIEW) my machine behaves like it is loading the drop list (LabVIEW lags, and my hard drive thrashes for about a minute), but no drop list appears. My computer is kinda slow and outdated (hense the long inital load times of the drop list) so that may be the issue. I'm running a 1.6GHz Centrino w/ 1.5GB of ram and Windows XP SP3.
I've tried rebooting. I was using the drop list quite a bit before it stopped working. I would like to avoid a full reinstall of LabVIEW over this.
Any advice?
Thanks!
-Nic
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Just grasping at straws but...
In the LV .INI file there is a line
"QuickDropPosition="
That apperas to save where the QD window waas when last used. Maybe yours is set for an off-screen position.
