Photoshop files locking up Finder (preview not loading) and empty photoshop files... 18mb!

Hi all,
We've been having some problems with all of our Photoshop files recently. It seems to be a problem that's been duplicated throughout during the design progression.
When using finder to navigate through our design folders, it often locks up for 5 - 10 seconds per file while finder tries to load the preview thumbnails (and fails, showing just the psd icon). I checked compatibility was checked on save as. I also checked the colour profile was being embedded. On some files it wasn't so I checked this, but still having the same slowdown.
As a test I then deleted all the layers in the doc, saved it again - and even though the file only had one blank layer - it was 18mb in size!
I then made a new document of the same resolution, saved it - and boom. 120kb or so and preview works fine.
I then opened one of the problem PSD's with all the layers - dragged them over to a new document of the same size, saved it - and the file and preview in finder works fine.
Obviously there's something of around 18mb in weight in all of our old files that is causing a real issue with finder and previews. Other than layers (as there are none) - what could it be? We're using a mix of cs6 / cc and cc 2014.
Any help on this would be appreciated!

OK, that means that the Finder is having problems with that folder. That could be due to corrupt disk data structures, or you could be hitting some of the known (and not yet fixed) bugs in MacOS's Finder related to thumbnails and metadata parsing.
As for file size - other metadata (especially image history, and sometimes color profiles) can really add to the file size.

File Server Resource Manager will not load WMI Objects on Windows 8.0/8.1 Preview with Hyper-V and Server Tools Loaded

Hi Folks,
I have a problem getting "File Server Resource Manager" to start properly because WMI objects are not loading??? I don't understand this at all because I am able to access them with other Apps, etc. I have been over my Services list as well but
have not yet discovered which Service turns on/off "File Server Resource Manager". I have looked in Windows\System32\ and I can not find SrmSvc. I found other Srm's there though. I also found the FSRM Snapin which generates the Figure below but I
can not find it in the WMI Browser. I believe the Firewall is OKAY since I have been over that thoroughly. I do have the Server Tools Installed for Windows 8.0 or Windows 8.1 Clients as well as the Windows Updates applied, which is where I got "File Server
Resource Manager" in the first place. I have had WMI and Powershell 3.0 Package, installed since Windows 7 but I run a repair on them anyway.
I have read through "File Server Resource Manager could not load WMI objects on Windows Server 2012
Article ID: 2831687" but since I don't seem to have SrmSvc the solution doesn't help me. I haven't been able to find a similar one for the Windows Client.
If there is anything you could share on this problem I would be much obliged.
Thanks again,
Crysta

CR2 file not loading in to Photoshop Elements 10

I have recently bought a Canon 650D and I am now unable to load CR2 Raw files in to Elements 10 for editing-it is coming up with a message "Cannot open ....... CR2 because it is the wrong type of file. I have not had this problem before.

You have two alternatives:
(1) Upgrade to PSE 11. (2) Download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the CR2 files will open in PSE10 (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software - DPP)
Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.3
Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.3
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

What is file locking in Finder?

Hi
I am trying to find out what file locking in Finder is and how it is different from file permissions.
I cannot find any special attribute in xattr nor ls -l for locked files.
The only piece of documentation I have found is the above link. I would appreciate a link to some developer.apple description or a good explanation of this feature.

From the SetFile manual page:
SETFILE(1) BSD General Commands Manual SETFILE(1)
NAME
/usr/bin/SetFile -- set attributes of files and directories
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/SetFile [-P] [-a attributes] [-c creator] [-d date] [-m date]
[-t type] file ...
DESCRIPTION
/usr/bin/SetFile is a tool to set the file attributes on files in an HFS+
directory. It attempts to be similar to the setfile command in MPW. It
can apply rules to more than one file with the options applying to all
files listed.
Flags:
-P Acts on a symlink file instead on the file the symlink resolves to.
-a attributes Sets the file attributes bits where attributes is a string
of case sensitive letters. Each letter corresponds to a
file attribute: an uppercase letter indicates that the
attribute bit is set (1), a lowercase letter indicates
that it is not (0). Note: attributes not specified remain
unchanged.
A | a Alias file
B | b Has bundle
C | c Custom icon (allowed on folders)
D | d Located on the desktop (allowed on folders)
E | e Extension is hidden (allowed on folders)
I | i Inited - Finder is aware of this file and has
given it a location in a window. (allowed on
folders)
L | l Locked
M | m Shared (can run multiple times)
N | n File has no INIT resource
S | s System file (name locked)
T | t "Stationery Pad" file
V | v Invisible (allowed on folders)
Z | z Busy (allowed on folders)

Finder would not load

i have a client that is running os 10.2.8. When he booted up, finder would not load. It loaded for a second then closed and repeated this indefinitely. I could access any of the items in the dock and those applications would open and run correctly, but the finder never seemed to load. I eventually fixed the problem by reinstalling 10.2 and that fixed the error. However this gave rise to another peculiar symptom. I could not install the combo update for 10.2.8. It would start and then just fail and ask me to try again?
Does anyone know what might have caused his finder not to load properly?
how might i install 10.2.8?
O and if it matters, he was running all of this on an old powerbook G4.
Thanks in advance!
Alex

Jag and Puma were notorious for having permissions problems. They have decreased in Panther and I understand that Tiger is even better. When the system that is booted won't do what is supposed to do then try the install disk.
X is a strange beast. I don't know if it still happens but in the earlier days it was frequently necessary to not only erase the hard drive but zero it. Somehow the left over files were recognized (or something) by an install or clone and raised havoc with the new system.
It's weird because without a directory, which erase is supposed to do, how can it still find files???
When I have problems cloning to a partition with stuff on it, I erase it and the clone proceeds but I always wonder if some left overs are still being used somehow.

Preview not functioning correctly with PDF files

For some time I've put up with minor issues with Preview when viewing and editing PDF files.
However, over the last little while it has gotten progressively worse. More and more PDF documents that I download, buy, print, or get from others are failing to display properly. Fonts will be wrong, images will be missing, or it is impossible to search for text or copy and paste from the files.
The files in question are not encrypted, and they work fine in Adobe Reader on Mac and Windows, Adobe Acrobat, and even Foxit Reader in Windows.
Does anyone have any idea what causes this and how it might be fixed, or is this just bugs in Preview?
The problem has been getting worse, though I have insufficient information to know why.
Another problem with Preview is that when I edit PDF files to annotate them, it is corrupting them somehow. What happens is I will do something like highlight text and insert a few notes using Preview, and then I'll save the PDF.
From that point forward, searching no longer works on the file, and if I copy and paste anything from the file it is all garbage text.
Again, I can do this without issue using Adobe Reader and Foxit Reader.
I would prefer to keep using Preview so I thought I'd ask to see if anyone else is seeing these issues and has any ideas to fix them, or if the consensus is that there is currently no solution.

The thing is, when I right click a pdf file, and then go to properties, change default program to open with, select browse, I select it in the correct folder, when I click open, it doesnt open and the programs stay blank, so I cant select anything. There is nothing to select. And I have re-installed. But at the end of the install there are no options what file types to associate with. Any way to do it inside Reader?
I have reader 9.2.0. and Win7 up to date. When I'm opening and closing allot of files the whole time, I don't want to do inside reader. Help please?

I own the businesses, so there are no restrictions. Even my personal page has the same problem. I've been working on FB for years with no access problems. Ironically, the problem started the day the FB IPO went public. At first, the "freeze" happened when I tried to view a photo. Now it happens virtually every time I try to do anything: view a friend's page, try to use "chat."
I'm at a loss. I would view it as a blessing, except that too many of my "friends" and family only use FB to communicate. I'm afraid that's how the world is today, and we can't turn back the clock.

Photoshop CS3 Register Now/Later Screen not loading

Mac OSX 10.7.5
I have been using the CS3 products (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) every day for many years at work.
Working fine yesterday.
Try to use them today, the register now/later screen won't load properly (blank screen) so I can't select either option and can't use the apps. We usually "register later" without issue whenever it appears.
Any suggestions on what's causing the issue? Console logs aren't useful.
Cheers.

Thanks to all of you! And "rebob," I beg your pardon... I didn't even know my router was working! I was still able to logon to the internet even after disconnecting it from my computer. As soon as I disconnected the router too, and ensure I was indeed off of the internet, it worked the first time! Thanks again!

10.2.8 Finder does not load after getting into OS X

I am pretty sure this happened to a lot of people, as I have read many many messages on this issue.
My computer is a Powerbook 867 with 128built in DDR and 512 added.
40Gb internal HDD and a 40GB firewire 3G ipod (the old 3G).
Here's the problem:
Last night just when I finishsed watching some divx on VLC running on 10.2.8, I quitted VLC using apple+Q, then closed the finder window i opened with apple+W. They both closed, but then the finder just did not respond (or have quitted). There isn't a little triangle below my finder icon on the dock. Everything else on the dock works perfectly fine. Desktop icons have disappeared.
Now I have restarted, nothing helps; went on apple discussion and found some "HELPFUL" solutions - deleting the finder preferences. First how was I suppose to delete it? ok... I installed a 10.2.3 on my ipod and boot it through there, also did a repair permission on my internal HDD. Finally deleted the com.apple.finder.plist.. So I booted up using my internal again. But still... finder DOES NOT LOAD after I got into my OS X.
Please if anyone can give me a solution to this problem!
P.S. the finder on my ipod is working fine. AND I do not want to reinstall OS X on my interal because I only did it last week after it went to service after a HDD fail (it has been replaced).
Powerbook 867Mhz 128+512MbDDR Mac OS X (10.2.x) 10.2.8

Check System Preferences - Accounts
Choose you account - login items: If iTunesHelper
shows up - remove it it will prevent re-installation.
It did not have iTunes in the list, just mail and iCal alarm. Deadlines and emails are vital in my home office.
Now that I think about it, adding Mail to the list was the only thing that I had changed to the computer when this happened, but I can't imagine how that would alter permission to install on the OS.

I have a external hard drive connected, Finder will not let me search for files in the external hard drive how do i search in a hard drive

What are you using to search? You should be able to search any drive in from the Finder. If you're having trouble, try "EasyFind" from the App Store (free). You can search any volumes with it.

Can we load and unload the files in the run time?

Can we load and unload the files in the run time?
For example there are four files named "test1.h & test1.c" and another set "test2.h & test2.c" (I attached them as attachment to this post).
test1.h contains code:
int variable; //variable declared as integer
test1.c contains code:
variable = 1; //variable assigned a value
test1.h contains code:
char *variable; //variable declared as string
test1.c contains code:
variable = "EXAMPLE"; //variable assigned a string
So here, in this case can I dynamically load / unload the first & second group of files so that the same variable name "variable" can be used both as integer and string? And if yes, how is that to be done?
Solved!

What do you mean by "dynamically"?
If you want to have a variable that either is an int or a char in the same program run, I'm afraid your only option is to define it as a variant and assign from time to time the proper data type in the variant according to some condition. Next, every time you access the variable you must firstly check which data type is stored in it, next access it in the proper way.
If on the other hand your option or to have a run in which the variable is an int, next you stop the program and in a following run it is a char, you may have it by using some appropriade preprocessor clause:
#ifdef CHAR_TYPE
#include "test1.h"; // variable defined as a char
#else
#include "test2.h"; // variable defined as int
#endif
Next, every time you want to access the variable you must proceed in the same vay:
#ifdef CHAR_TYPE
variable = "string";
#else
variable = 1;
#endif
Does it worth the effort?
Additionally, keep in mind that this "dynamical" approach can work only in the IDE, where you can properly #define your CHAR_TYPE or not depending on your wishes: when you compile the program, it will have only one #include depending on the definition of the macro.
Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

Slow DL/UL Speeds, Pages not loading, and inability to play games online

I noticed bad connection speeds on Wednesday and called tech support. They sent a technician out who replaced the modem and did some work on the lines. Long story short, my speeds are still poor, pages are not loading, and I am unable to play computer games without lag so significiant that playing becomes frustrating. This has been 5 days of awful connection (Thursday through Sunday I was without wireless because the tech support agents were not helpful).
I am really fed up with the way that Verizon has handled this issue. They have been very good in the past, but this situation has left me in a situation where I might have to cancel service since what is being provided is insufficient. Any help with this would be great, since I would like to give Verizon one last chance before I go look for a new provider (I have called tech support 5-6 times, tried their chat service, and also sent an email to customer service)

2)No idea how to provide Transciever Statistics
3) The Modem is a Westell 6100G
-) The Router is a Linksys WRT54G
Ok.
If the following things are true:
#1 You did not follow the advice in http://www.dslreports.com/faq/13600
#2 You did not change the LAN IP of the Westell (still at 192.168.1.1)
#3 You changed the LAN IP of the Linksys so it's LAN IP does not start with 192.168.1 (for example 192.168.2.1)
#4 The WAN port of the RJ-45 WAN port router is connected to the modem.
...Then
#1 Visit http://192.168.1.1/ for me and do the following:
a) If you see a Blue and White Westell page, mouse over Troubleshooting, go to DSL, and choose Transceiver Statistics. Copy and Paste the information on that page.
b) If using the Red and Black Firmware: Go to System Monitoring > Advanced Monitors > Transceiver Statistics. Copy and Paste the information on that page.
c) Try visiting http://192.168.1.1/transtat.htm which is a direct link to the Stats on older modems.
d) If you need a Username and Password, try the following:
admin/password
admin/password1
admin/admin
admin/admin1
admin/Serial Number
By Serial Number, I don't mean type in the words Serial Number. I mean find and type in the serial number found on the bottom of this router.
If you followed the advice in that FAQ, then I need more info from you:
#1 Does your Linksys have offical Linksys firmware or third party firmware?
#2 If the Linksys has third party firmware, which one?
For example DD-WRT.
#3 While I know your Linksys has a built in switch, do you have a switch that is not part of a router?
#4 Do any of your computers have at least two NICs and one of the NICs is wired?
#5 Do you know how to manually setup a Static IP on your computer?
#6 What kind of connection does your Linksys handle?
For a Verzion DSL connection, as far as I know - they only offer:
a) PPPoE
OR
b) DHCP (before setting the modem combo not to handle the public IP by folllowing that FAQ, the modem combo was set to Bridge-Routed Bridge-DHCP Client Enabled)
OR
c) Static IP.
#7 Does your Linksys have at least two RJ-45 LAN ports not occupied / not in use / nothing connected ?

Okay so about four days ago my ipad says it has apps to update but whenever i go to the update apps page it will not load and i have tried rebooting signing out but nothing will work, any suggestions?

Okay so about four days ago my ipad says it has apps to update but whenever i go to the update apps page it will not load and i have tried rebooting signing out but nothing will work, any suggestions?

If you are getting the blank app update screen, many, many people are having this problem over the last couple of days. It is a problem that Apple must fix now.
According to Fly150 in another discussion, this will work.
If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
1. Go to App Store
2. Select Purchased
3. Select All
4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
5. Select update on the Apps
This should update the Apps and get rid of the update count in App Store. Apple needs to fix this. It is a workaround only until then.
