Photoshop 7 will not recognize my fire wire drives as scratch disks

Photoshop 7 will not recognize my fire wire drives as scratch disks.
Using Photosop 7.0.1 & Mac OS X Tiger on G4 Tower with AGP Graphics.
Any Ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Tom

The drives need to be formatted as Macintosh HFS+ Extended (not Windows or FAT32, for instance), and you must have full read/write permissions to them.
Otherwise, Photoshop will not let you select them as scratch disk drives.  Of course, formatting will completely erase the entire drive, so if you have anything on them you need to keep, you'll need to back it up first.
If necessary, do a Get Info (Command I) on the icon of the drive in the Finder and check "Ignore Ownership on this drive"; but first the drive needs to be formatted as Macintosh Extended.

  • ITunes Will Not Recognize My CD/DVD Drive In My Windows Vista PC.

    All,
    I was forced to migrate to a new PC for work. It is running Windows Vista Enterprise. Since receiving the PC, iTunes will not recognize my CD/DVD Drive. I receive the following error message:
    "Warning, The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CD's and DVD's are missing....." etc.
    I have completed the following troubleshooting steps with no success:
    1. Deleted upper and lower filters in the registry per the Microsoft fix from their web site.
    2. Completely uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes/Quicktime/Etc.
    3. Uninstalled and reinstalled the CD/DVD Drive
    4. Verified that other programs recognize and can burn to my CD/DVD drive. I have Windows Media Player and Roxio Creator Basic installed.
    5. Verified that Windows Vista recognizes my CD/DVD drive.
    6. Installed the GEAR driver recommended on the Apple Support page for this issue.
    All of my music in is iTunes and I prefer to burn my CD's via iTunes. I have read that several people are having this issue.
    Does anyone have a solution? There has to be a fix out there somewhere.
    I can downgrade to XP but it will take an "Act Of Congress" for my corporate IT group to send me the XP downgrade CD.
    Any solutions or recommendations are great appreciated.

  • Photoshop will not recognize upgraded RAM.

    I recently upgraded my Mac Pro to about twice the RAM it had before. Sadly, my Photoshop CS5 does not recognize the upgrade and insists that my drive does not have enough RAM to open GL. It won't save preferences and doesn't recognize me as an administrator and will not recognize that photoshop is unlocked. Lots of issues. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program with no success. Any suggestions.

    Photoshop already recognizes your added RAM, because it gets the RAM information from the OS every time it launches.  See the details in the performance panel of preferences.
    But you're talking about a warning that tells you you don't have enough VRAM on your video card - and that has little or nothing to do with the DRAM installed in your machine.
    For VRAM, you'd have to upgrade your video card/GPU.

  • Macbook Pro will not recognize my external hard drive

    I just updated to a newer MacBook Pro.  I ran Time Machine on my old Macbook from a 2TB external USB hard drive.  When I hooked the hard drive to my new Mac, it wouldn't allow me to select it as the drive for Time Machine.  So I dismounted the hard drive and hooked it back to my old macbook to see if it still registered there (which it did).  Now when I try and hook the hard drive to my new macbook, it will not recognize it at all.  First question, why will it not recognize my new macbook, and second question, why does Time Machine not recognize the hard drive?  It has my old time machine files on it...hopefully I don't have to reformat it and lose all my backup??

    My hard drive is now connected.  But Time Machine will not let me select the hard drive as my back up drive. This hard drive was used on another Macbook, so Time Machine doesn't seem to recognize the hard drive on the new one.  Do I need to reformat the hard drive? I hate to do that because I have the previous backups on there.

  • Desktop does not show external Fire Wire Drive Buslink model MFW60

    Running iMac fully maxed out. Have Buslink FireWire external drive, model MFW60 1394a. Purchased an adaoter plag in to connect through new Fire Wire port in back of machine. Got the drive to spin up and showed up on desktop. Tried to move a file from IMac to the Buslink and the whole system locked up. Only choice was to turn off everything . After rebooting, no Buslink showed up on the desktop. Disk utility sees it but each time I try to repair disk or even verify the disk utility is "not responding" and I am forced into" Force quit " to stop the disk utility rtask. I do have a Fire WIre USB 2 T backup external which is working fine.
    Any ideas or help on getting the buslink to show up on desk top?

    On the off chance, turn off Time Mschine, & add thst drive to silly Spotlight's Privacy pane.
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • Itunes 10.4 will not recognize libraries on external drives!

    I made the mistake of updating to itunes 10.4 and now itunes does not recognize itunes libraries that I have stored on external harddrives, most concerning is my master library of Apple Lossless files.  Is there a way to get the new version of itunes to recognize libraries on external drives?
    Thanks so much for your advice!

    Found my answer by sifting through all itunes questions.  (I tried earlier, but apparently chose the wrong key words.  In my successful search I just searched through everything itunes related.) There was a posting where someone indicated they could not open alternative libraries using the option key method, precisely my situation.  They stated that they solved the problem by appending a ".itl" at the end of the library file.  I tried this myself and sure enough, it worked.  Hopefully it will also work for all others who are suffering from this scenario.

  • Photoshop will not recognize my Canon D6 raw photos. Have run update,still not working.Suggestions

    Photoshop CS5 will not open my Canon D6 images in raw. Tried both ps and bridge. Have run updates. Have installed Canon utility files. Still does not recognize the format. Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    Photoshop cs5 won't update to the camera raw plugin required (7.3) for the canon 6d camera raw files.
    Other than upgrading to photoshop cs6 you could use the free 7.3 DNG Converter to convert your files to dng copies which cs5 should then open.
    Or look at Lightroom which is cheaper than an upgrade to cs6.

  • Disk utility & TechTool Pro will not recognize volumes on hard drive

    My Powerbook G4 will not start up. This is what happens:
    1. Startup chime
    2. Hard drive starts to make a constant 'pause-click, pause-click' like a skipping vinyl record sound
    3. Then I only get as far as the flashing question mark on screen
    I have disconnected all peripherals. I have booted up from install CD and used *Disk Utility* and it does not recognize the hard drive, only the CDR drive. I have booted from the Apple Hardware Test CD. All hardware passes. I have booted off the *TechTool Pro CD* and tried to run the entire suite of diagnositc tests. All hardware passes, all drives pass, but when I get to Volumes and Files, none are recognized. I have tried to get to the *Startup Manager*, but I can't get to that point either, only as far as the flashing question mark. I would like to be able to salvage data from the harddrive, so haven't tried to reinstall software and OS.
    It seems to me that the hard drive is probably dead and I probably need to replace it, but is there any hope to recover data from the old hard drive
    Any suggestions on what else I might try or on confirming my tentative diagnosis, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Thanks for the quick reply Tom,
    I mostly save my work related documents on external flash drives or zip drive media, so my most important data for the most part is backed up. However, I had gotten a bit unattentive with personal interest stuff, like photos, music etc. I'll probably think of something important months from now and realize it was only on that drive, but for now I am most concerned about my downloaded emails and email addressbook. I never thought to back those up. Makes me want to stop running Thunderbird and keep all my emails online. Anyway I have some recent business inquiry emails from new contacts that are stuck on that drive. Can't recall the exact name of the organization this person was with. Aghh.
    Think there is any use trying one of those data recovery programs to see if I could extract some information from the disk?
    I am realizing that I will probably need a new hard drive to get the computer running . A friend's dad who is a computer teacher (though mostly PC but has kids with Macs so he's been working with Macs a bit and learning) mentioned the possibility of putting in a new hard drive as the start up drive then installing the old one as a secondary hard drive so I can try to access my data that way. Think that sounds like a feasible option to try? Perhaps I could run the recovery within that configuration. Worth a try? Pointless?
    I appreciate any words of wisdom or commiseration.
    Thanks,

  • Bios will not recognize the entire Hard Drive

    Oh, there is the rest of my Hard Drive. To allocate, I just right click and hit "New Partition" and follow the steps? Furthermore, do I need to make this an extended partition or primary? I am just going to use this larger partition for storing programs and games.
    Also, my driver for my hard drive is 7 years old. Think I should update the driver?
    "Also, my driver for my hard drive is 7 years old. Think I should update the driver?"
    Nope, just install chipset drivers for your board.
    "Oh, there is the rest of my Hard Drive. To allocate, I just right click and hit "New Partition" and follow the steps?"
    Yes
    "Furthermore, do I need to make this an extended partition or primary?"
    Extended. When its done right click and format the newest partition in NTFS.

  • Power Mac G4 will not Recognize any Internal Hard Drives

    My G4 was working fine and I wanted to install a driver for a 'Twin Turbo Mac Video Card' I had in a PCI slot but it required OS9 running. At the time, I had two internal drives 230 and 120 G running 10.4.11 but no OS9. However, I did have an external Firewire Drive with OS9 and OSX. I set my "Startup Disk" preference to boot from FW drive and selected OS9 then shut down my G4. When I powered back on I got the standard "gong" but on my display I saw a "Mac Folder and a Question Mark". I believe that means the system can't find a drive. Is that correct? I reverted back to my original configuration with the internal drives and the FW drive disconnected and I still see the "Folder and Question Mark". I inserted the Tiger DVD, held down the "C" key and it still will not boot from the DVD either. I once again tried connecting a FireWire External drive with OS 10.4.11 installed and the internal drives disconnected and still no bootup. I swapped out Memory, replaced the Motherboard and the battery and even tried resetting the PRAM. Still that stupid Question Mark is showing!! This has really got me puzzled. Any ideas or suggestions out there?

    Depressing/holding the Option key at startup activates the Startup Manager (not open firmware). The resulting window shows all of the available startup volumes (hard drives, CD, DVD, etc).
    Look at A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac

  • My MacbookPro will not recognize when a flash drive is put into the USB port. It does not show in finder at all.

    I put a HP flash drive into a USB port and it never shows in finder under devices. I want to copy photos to it to load onto a electronic picture frame. Why doesn't the flash drive show in finder?

    First, open up the Apple System Profiler by choosing  Apple Menu > About This Mac, and then click More Info.
    then select USB off the hardware list.  If your flash drive is connected to the system, it will appear here.  If it does not appear, there is a problem with either the port or the drive.
    If the flash drive shows up in the system profiler, the problem is in your Finder preferences. Finder prefs (⌘+comma) allow you to designate what shows up on the desktop and Finder sidebar.

  • Windows 7 will not recognize the dvd drive in my dv9925nr

    Windows will not recognize my dvd drive in Windows 7. It shows up under device manager under cd drives, but will not list in in my computer and will not recognize it as a drive in burning applications.

    I haven't installed and started testing the BETA yet, just downloading from MS tonight.I would suspect upper & lower filters,since that is the most common cause of cd/dvd problems from XP-Vista.
