PC Help!  PS6 Keeps opening old photos on every startup.

I have seen this discussion several times on this forum for a Mac, but not a PC.  And sadly,the mac solution does not apply to the PC.  This has been driving me nuts for over a year now.  Can anyone help?  Thanks!!

Most like they are the same. Sound like your talking CS6 not PS6 and CS6 Autosave save a file you were working and CS6 crashed.  When you start CS6 it will open the autosave file the was not saved by you.  It sound like you not closing the recovery file or saving in under some name in one of your folders. So the recovery file does not get deleted by Photoshop.  Every time Photoshop start the recovery file will be reopen. You need to locate your userid adobe Photoshop CS6 recovery folder and delete that file If Photoshop is not deleting it when you save or close out the recovery document.

  • Open old photos from DVD

    Hi,
    I've got old photos from iPhoto (2007 and older) saved on DVD and can't open it with the current version(11).
    Where is the problem?
    Thanks for help!

         Hi this is a problem that can be fixed in theses few easy steps: you insert the DVD to you computer. Then you go to some words that say DCIM. Then highlight all of the pictures, then you can drag them into your iphoto.
    Thank you for asking apple experts. <Edited by Host> thank you!

  • Cant open old photos!

    I have a number of old photos from the system 7-9.x days that for some reason cannot be opened in Mountain Lion in Preview. Is there a way around this, or ws this my mistake that I made in not keeping a older OS 8.x Mac around? I also have some old palm Desktop files that I cannot open and I would like to retrview the TEXT in the documents. Anyone know of a way?

    What was the file format of the photos? There might be something that can open them.
    There are some online file converters, you might google for something like that and see if they can convert them to something openable.
    To get the text, you might just right-click on the file and choose open with, Other...
    Browse for TextEdit and see if you can retriev the text out of the file.

  • Safari keeps opening old pages

    Safari keeps opeing old pages even though I have closed them.  It seems like I have several versions of safari open, but I don't think I do.  I just did the latest software update and the problem continues.

    Cdf15,
    You can empty the caches in Safari by pressing Option+Command+E keys. This will likely stop the behavior.
    You might have to remove Safari plist files from User Library (might be hidden hold down option key under Finder window Go Menu>Library>Preferences>com.apple.Safari.plist.
    Place plist on desktop or in Trash without emptying trash, then reopen Safari. This will recreate a new plist.
    Finally you can "Reset Safari" which will remove various Safari settings. "Reset SafarI" is available under the "Safari" Menu…
    Hope this helps, Greg

  • Need PCD filter or converter to open old photo disc files

    Is there a filter or file converter to open old files from photo CD's
    Some files are PCD format and some files are PCT/Quickdraw
    The PCD files can be converted with Apple Store's Best Image Converter XV but the resolutions seem low.
    The QuickDraw (Some kind of Pict?) image can be opened in Preview but only exported as a pdf which in turn needs another conversion to jpg or tif.
    Photoshop seems to have dropped support for both these formats.
    Unfortunately I have a few hundred of these files.

    Which version of mac os x are you using?
    Which version of photoshop do you have?
    The mac version of Photoshop cc 2014 stills opens a pict file i transferred over from mac os 9
    iphoto should be able to import the pcds off the photo cd
    If you don't have the original kodak photo cd, then you could use
    pcdmagic
    https://sites.google.com/site/pcdmagicsite/
    or
    Graphic Converter 9, which should handle both pcd and pict
    http://www.lemkesoft.de/en/image-editing-slideshow-browser-batch-conversion-metadata-and-m ore-on-your-mac/
    Also, Photoline handles both pcd and pict files

  • Iphoto 2014 won't open old photos

    I downloaded Mavericks 10.9.2 but my iPhoto when it opens says I will lose all my old photo's and I need to quit. I dragged the app to my trash and reintalled it from the App Store, and it still does the same thing. HOW do I recover my old photos which are only on here?

    Did you upgrade to iPhoto v9.5.1? If no, older versions of iPhoto will not run under Mavericks.
    iPhoto 9.5.1  $14.99

    If you have upgraded, see this link for steps to rebuild your iPhoto Library. iPhoto 6 and later: Rebuilding the iPhoto library

  • Itunes keeps opening on my computer every 5-10 minutes!! please make it stop!

    I don't know if it's Job's ghost, or what...  But I recently got the iphone 4s and now my itunes keeps opening up every 5-10 minutes!  Can someone please tell me how to make this stop??  THanks!

    the latest iTunes version 9.0.3.15 and it just will not close down. Every time I click on the X to close it or even go to File and then select close, it re openes!!
    Do you have any third-party add-ons/plugins installed for your iTunes, ajay? If so, what are the called and what version do you have?

  • All Network Volumes set as Login Items open in Finder on EVERY startup

    ...after updating to 10.5.8
    I have a Mac running on an otherwise all PC network. Before updating to 10.5.8 I had 5 network volumes set to "connect" on startup automatically (System Prefs / Accounts / Login Items). This worked perfectly and connected to these volumes silently without me having to ever worry about it. I didn't even have to check the "Hide" boxes.
    After updating to 10.5.8 however, it became completely annoying. Now it still connects to these volumes, but opens up every single one in Finder upon every startup. That's 5 windows I have to close every time I startup my computer. It may not sound like the worst thing in the world, but mind you I have to log out and back in every day for work. Even checking the "Hide" checkboxes don't do anything.
    Anybody experiencing the same problem? Anybody know a workaround or fix? My company has a rather large and complex network so staying connected to certain folders that I use is a must. Thanks.

    Thanks to both of you. I guess the search I ran wasn't good enough as I didn't find the discussion that you posted.
    One of the possible workarounds posted there was to use a third-party program that I found difficult to understand and use. Instead I took V.K.'s advice and made an AppleScript and then made that script launch at login. Works like a charm.
    Only difference is that my AppleScript isn't located in the Utilities folder (10.5.8), instead I got to it by going to Applications / AppleScript / Script Editor.
    sorry, my mistake on the location.
    Then I made a script and saved it as an application. I then put that application in my Login Items (System Prefs / Accounts / Login Items).
    If you're having trouble finding the mount volume (or server) address, here's how you can find it: If you are currently connected to the volume(s) that you want to use, left-click it and hit Cmd+I (or right-click, Get Info). Use the address next to "Server:" - That's it!
    Hopefully Apple will fix this bug soon so people don't have to make AppleScripts just to make the OS work correctly.
    I wouldn't bet on it for leopard. leopard development has stopped now after snow leopard has been released. historically, Apple only releases security patches for old OS versions once a new one comes out. Interestingly, this bug is present in snow leopard too! or maybe they don't consider it a bug and this is how it should work. one can make a case for this, I guess.

  • PC to Mac - can I keep my old photo folders?

    Hi. I'm converting from a PC to a Mac this week. I'm eager to use iPhoto, but I already have my large collection of photos organized in folders and stored on my PC. Each file in the folder is not individually named, but just has the number my digital camera assigned to it, since the folder name is different.
    Will iPhoto allow me to keep all my old folders and not use Faces to organize everything? I have photos of my grandchildren from birth to ages 5 and 7, respectively. How will Faces recognize those? And what about duplicate file names, such as those that are currently stored in my folders on my PC? I would really prefer just to create a folder on my Mac and drop all my pictures into that folder. Will iPhoto let me do that?

    Jill
    1. Faces will not reorganise your photos at all. It's just another way to view them.
    2. Duplicate filenames are not a problem.
    3. Yes you can use iPhoto with " e a folder on my Mac and drop all my pictures into that folder." This is called a Referenced Library and I +strongly urge you not to do this+ - especially as you are new to the Mac. I'll come back to this in a moment.
    4. You can easily recreate your current structure in iPhoto: Drag a folder of images to the Albums section of the left hand pane. iPhoto will import them +and create an album of the same name with these photos+. You can then create the enclosing Folders in iPhoto (File -> New Folder) and drag the Albums to it.
    A note on a Referenced Library:
    Simply go to iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck 'Copy Files to the iPhoto Library on Import'.
    Now iPhoto will not copy the files, but rather simply reference them on your HD. To do this it will create an alias in the Originals Folder that points to your file. It will still create a thumbnail and, if you modify the pics, a Modified version within the iPhoto Library Folder.
    However, you need to be aware of a number of potential pitfalls using this system.
    1. Import and deleting pics are more complex procedures
    2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them on systems prior to 10.5 and iPhoto 08. Even with the later versions issues can still arise if you move the referenced files to new volumes or between volumes.
    3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
    Always allowing for personal preference, I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organisers.
    If disk space is an issue, you can run an entire iPhoto Library from an external disk:
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    If you're concerned about accessing the files, there are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    *For Users of 10.5 Only*
    You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    *For users of 10.4 and 10.5* ...
    Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    *If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
    Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    The best advice I can give anyone starting out is to create a Library and import 50 photos and get to to know the app for a few days.
    Regards

  • HELP! - Cannot open old iPhoto library after updating from Tiger to Lion

    I changed my Mac and now I am using Lion on MacBook Pro.
    I am trying to open the iPhoto library that I used to have on my old PowerBook G4 with Tiger, but it does not work.
    When I open the library, iPhoto says that the library needs to be updated and asking OK to continue. I press OK to continue and iPhoto starts to work though after hours (I tried to leave the mac to work for three days) nothing happens!
    The library is very big, 39 GB!
    Any help?

    NowApple:
    Sounds like a damaged database.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Sorry, My Help Viewer keeps opening AFP connection.

    Sorry I had my letters mixed up on that last post. Feel free to delete that. I just got a new Imac and set up my first ever network. Being a rookie at this I can't quite figure this one out. Everytime I open Mac Help the Help Veiwer tries to connect to my older computer. Its kind of annoying because I have to cancel and wait for the spinning color wheel of death to stop before I can get answers. With the new I-life, I've got pleny of questions. Can anybody help me with this? Thanks in advance, Keith

    I have done several migrations (10+) and not experienced this one before. Once you have done all the 'normal' precautions (repairing permissions using Disk Utilities and dragging the Help Viewer preferences com.apple.helpviewer.plist to the desktop), then we have to look further.
    If the above do not help, can we have some more info? I take it you did migrate your data from your old computer. Was it done after initial setup or during? Could you also tell us from which model to which, and if the older computer was running Tiger, or an older system.
    Karn.

  • Need to open old photos created in PSD

    We used to have Photo Shop Deluxe in an old computer and I found a CD with family photos on it. iPhoto wouldn't open them. I really don't want to spend the money on an upgraded Photoshop for Mac so is there any other way to open these? There's only about 30 or so.

    Try previes - if it will open them save them as JPEGs
    or use graphic converter

  • Opening old photo formats for use in PSE?

    For many years before I started to use PSE I used to use both Corel Photopaint & a couple of Ulead products.  I found out yesterday that I still have the old disks.  Is it possible open these files &  convert their old presets do that they can be use in PSE? 

    No.
    You'll have to open the PhotoPaint CPT file in a Corel product and export the image in a format that PSE can open:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/supported-file-formats-premiere-elements.html
    OR
    The free XnView image viewer:
    http://www.xnview.com/en/index.html
    can open CPT images and save them to a PSE-readable format.
