Photoshop not sticking....

I just got Photoshop CS5 and its all installed but when I go to Finder - Applications and to Photoshop, I can't drag it to my dock like I can with other applications. It will go right next to the Trash on the other side of that thing that looks like a centerline in the highway but it won't go on the other side of that where all the rest of my applications are. Many times I've dragged applications down there, why won't Photoshop work?

No problem. You aren't the first person I've had ask me that question (not just here in this forum). Most Mac apps are self contained application packages. When you see an icon for them in the Applications or Utilities folder, it usually is the actual app. But Adobe decided to give their folders the same icon and same name as the app within the folder. So it fools a lot of folks into thinking the item they see in the Applications folder is the app itself, not just another folder to go into.

  • Photoshop and CS6 Epson Page Settings do not stick

    I am using Photoshop Extended CS6 on a Mac with OS 10.7.4 and the latest driver for an Epson 7800 just downloaded from the Epson site. In the Print Settings dialogue "Page Setup" defaults to "Roll Paper - Banner" and any other selection such as sheet does not stick when saving a printing preset. Once selected, it appears to stay for one print, but returns to roll paper so that it needs to be reset with every print.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem and if so, have you found a solution?
    Thanks,
    Ed

    Ed,
    I noticed the same thing with the margins, however, as I use mostly large sheet sizes (I had the paper curl of rolls) that does not affect the lack of a sticky setting for "sheet" when I save a preset.
    I had three conversations this week with Epson Technical Support. The last one being today with Ron who took control of my desktop and found out for himself exactly what I was saying. He then spoke to others in his department and came back with the response, "apparently this is an issue we are aware of and it will be fixed." "When," I asked. He didn't know and said to just keep checking for an update their drivers page.
    Personally, I will not hold my breath. I would suspect that in the grand scheme of things, this bug is of very low priority.

  • Colors dialed in by the numbers do not stick.

    Colors dialed in by the numbers do not stick. I have a 1-color yellow logo that I open in Photoshop in RGB mode. I need the RGB values for the yellow to be specific (232/157/0). So I select the logo, dial in the RGB numbers for the yellow, fill in the selected logo with the correct color, and save. I close the file then reopen it and check the RGB values and they are off by 1 number (now 232/158/1). Why is it doing this?? I expect when I open an Illustrator file in Photoshop that the numbers will shift because this has happened my entire career. HOWEVER, when I save a Photoshop document then re-save it and it's different the next time I open it, I am lost for answers. BTW my color management settings are synced across the Adobe suite for "North America General Purpose 2" if that makes a difference. I am running PS CS6 (13.0.5) on OSX 10.8.5. Any answers would be appreciated.

    First of all you should know that RGB numbers are specific to the color space the file is in. The same color in sRGB and Adobe RGB will not have the same RGB numbers.
    However, that can't be the case here because the difference is only one single value. So my guess is that you're looking at the result of (destructive) jpeg compression.

  • PSE 9 Preferences:Saving Files will not stick

    MacOSX 10.6, Photoshop Elements 9 - I have tried (lots of times) to set the Append File Extension: preference to Always and to check Use Lower Case. It will not stick. The next time I go into Preferences it is back to Never and the check box is unchecked. My other preference changes all seem to be saved correctly. Why does this one not save?

    Let me start this with....in OS 9.2.2 I am able to delete files that are not needed from the system folder. For some odd reason when I try this in 10.3.9 it murders my system...needless to say I have printer extensions, scanner estensions,modem stuff and other not needed things living in there.
    Recently I did nothing like that but also had to forcequit a program to only find that everything I opened ...might open once then it would tell me that there was an error---spit the number out---and the program would not open.
    I had to do an install/archive then update to 10.3.9 again in order to gain the use of my computer and programs.
    You may need to do the same thing...it is llike the cleam install of OS 9, where it replaces the system folder and stores your things into a "safe folder" to return when done. Some items may need to be manually moved and lke my printer/scanner, it needed to be reinstalled.
    Insert the install cd and boot to it. Use the disk utility to repair the hd (go under the file menu I think), then choose the install and archive option (click the option button to find it). See if that helps.

  • Spaces not "sticking"

    Not a big deal, but I noticed since SL that a couple of my programs are not sticking to their assigned "Space."
    For example, both ICal and Mail are assigned to space one, but they keep going over to Space two. The assignments are still on Space One (and I am not moving them over manually).
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,

    My experience with the problem being described in some of the posts is as follows:
    Opening a Pages document from the Finder window (Pages is assigned to space 5. Finder window in this example is in space 1)
    1. If Pages is not open - double-clicking the document will open Pages, move me to space 5, and display the document (as expected).
    2. If Pages is open - double-clicking (alt-click Open With) the document will open the document in my current space (space 1 in this example) - not expected at all.
    Another issue, even more odd/annoying:
    This has to do with dialog windows. ex. PhotoShop (space 2), DreamWeaver (space 1). Attempting to change hexadecimal code in DreamWeaver file to match a PhotoShop color. Open the color picker in PhotoShop -> copy the hex-code (color picker still open) -> switch to space 1 via keyboard -> here's the strangeness.
    Sometimes - clicking on the DreamWeaver document will send me back to space 2 automatically: at which point I cannot close/select the color picker window - unless I enter expose and come out of it - even then, sometimes clicking on the color picker results in flipping back to space 1 - at which point entering spaces view (where all spaces are visible) and selecting space 2 usually fixes the issue).
    Other times - I can edit the DreamWeaver document just fine, but when I go back to PhotoShop I still have to enter expose and come out of it to close the color picker (see above).
    Another example would be pasting things from eMail (space 4) into a web browser (space 1). If you're familiar with drop-in menus to login to a server which requires username and password (not a web form - but a dialog box) you might be able to try this yourself:
    Opening the eMail from Mail. Select the desired text -> command+c -> keyboard shortcut (option+arrow up - for this example) -> navigate to website with dialog -> set username field active -> command+v -> option+arrow down (space 4) -> select new text -> command+c -> option+arrow up (space 1), dialog box is still open, make password field active -> automatically get shifted back to space 4.
    Again, this is a bit more of a hassle (because I have dialog boxes open in a lot of programs and copy and paste between applications & spaces a lot), but the other issue would probably be easier to isolate and fix.

  • UAC settings not sticking

    I work in IT and many of our Windows 7 Prof SP1 32-bit PCs are suddenly unable to have their User Account Control settings changed (they get stuck at 'never notify'), and therefore, are not prompted for an Admin password when installing new software.
     When I try to change this setting, logged on using my personal admin account, i can change it but on restart, the changes have not stuck. If the user tries to change it, when clicking on the "change user account control settings" the screen
    blinks and does nothing.
    If I run a command line (my account has elevated rights as administrator)
    net user administrator /active:yes
    then
    net user administrator *
    newpassword
    then restart the PC as local user administrator, it says "the user account is currently disabled and cannot be used to log on."
    I have run the "fixit_kb978591.diagcab" and it didn't detect any problems.
    THANK YOU for any tips moving forward!!

    Yes, I can verify that our copy of Windows 7 is Genuine!
    I ran that command but the UAC settings are still not sticking when I change them.
    * Staff have a multitude of issues all would seem to relate to their access on the PCs, such as unable to use new fonts as a standard user, when they have to be installed as local Admin, or running photoshop as a standard user, or being prompted for the
    admin password when trying to install using a standard account.
    This problem hasn't always existed.
    We are using Novell, ZENworks and Sophos - not sure if these play a role?

  • How to add a code so my drag and drop movie clip will not stick  once it is dragged to final place o

    Hello all and kglad, I have to use the old drag and drop code on my movie clips, but the problem is when I drag the movieclip to the area on my .swf file once i release it, it sticks to the hand mover.
    I am encloseing the action script I am using could someone or kglad tell me what is missing from the code so that once it is released it will not stick, see code below
    circle.onPress = function(){
    startDrag(this);
    circle.onRelease = function(){
    stopDrag();
    I am desparate for help on this must get project ready for this afternoon
    Seal55

    there's nothing wrong with that code but it would be better to use:
    circle.onPress = function(){
    this.startDrag();
    circle.onRelease = function(){
    this.stopDrag();
    but that won't solve your problem.  there must be something else going on like a depth issue.  you may need to use swapDepths() to bring your circle under the mouse when releasing.

  • Itunes 10.6.3 - Just update to the new Itunes and the album artwork is not sticking anymore... I upload the artwork and when I change songs and go back the art is gone. Anyone with similar issue ?

    Itunes 10.6.3 - Just update to the new Itunes and the album artwork is not sticking anymore... I upload the artwork and when I change songs and go back the art is gone. Anyone with similar issue ?

    I have this issue.  Album artwork was totally fine before.  After this update, it is all messed up and even got messed up when transferred to my iphone.
    iTunes doesn't have the artwork anymore, but then iPhone has it but shows wrong artwork with wrong albums.
    Please fix!

    We have version 10.5.8 photoshop CS3 for Mac. How do we fix a problem with photoshop not resizing dpi? For example we resized a 72 dpi image to 200 dpi, when we do a pdf analysis it read as 344 dpi.

    Sounds like it's a problem with the Acrobat settings. Did you set them to the same resolution?

  • Safe mode display settings not 'sticking' after restart?

    Hi
    I used a display setting not supported by my Mac mini and consequently had a 'out of signal' error on my monitor and restarted in safe mode, logged in and altered the settings.
    When I restart the display settings do not 'stick' and I get the same error. How do I get the settings to stick? Have tried logging in as administrator and user with no joy!
    Thanks Nigel

    Hmm. Maybe that combination of changing resolution in Safe mode and resetting PRAM have a combined effect of some kind? Worth remembering for the future. Thanks for posting.

  • Lightroom Edit in Photoshop (Not Found)... solutions didnt work...,

    Lightroom Version 2.2 (523352)
    Photoshop Elements 6
    MacBook 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Memory 2GB
    Max OS X Version 10.5.6
    I have Testversions of both products installed, and i intend to purchase both products. The only reason, that prevents me from sepending a few hundret Euro for this Softwaretools, is the following issue:
    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b61fd6
    When i right-click on a photo in Lightroom, the "Edit In Adobe Photoshop" command in the context menu is grayed out. Also, the same command under the Photo menu is grayed out, and in the External Editor tab of the Preferences the upper box is labeled "Edit in Photoshop (Not Found)".
    The Adobe Technote was not very helpfull. Both Solutions did not work.
    http://www.adobe.com/go/kb401629
    I removed the com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist file.
    I reinstalled Photoshop Elements.
    Has anybody else this Problem?
    Is there another Workarround?
    I fiddeld about this a whole day... very frustating Cheers - Carsten

    Thank you for your reply. Yes there is another Menue-Entry in the context-Menue "open in other Application..." but its also grayed out, even if i have installed PSE or not. That makes no Sense for me.
    Hmm... Elements isnt PS, but adobe says that i can use PhotoshopElements and PS with Lightroom in similar manner:

    EDIT: I have also removed lightrooms plist file, with no effect.

  • Mouse pointer does not stick on fader when moving it

    Using Logic Pro 9. If I grab any fader, the mouse pointer turns into a small dot. If I then drag the fader up or down, the dot does not stick on the fader. Instead, I find I have to drag the dot well above or below the fader to make big adjustments. Is there any setting to control this? Or is this just how it is in Logic. In all other audio applications I've seen, the mouse pointer sticks on the fader when moving it up or down.

    No - haven't found a fix for this yet. I can only guess that maybe it wasn't as noticeable when display screens weren't so big. I'm running on a 27" iMac so the effect is quite pronounced. I supposed it could be argued that it gives you a finer grain of control to make small changes - but it really takes away from the 'feel' like you are moving a real fader.

  • Mail preferences not sticking

    I access iCloud email via the web when I'm at work (Win XP SP3 + latest release of Chrome).  Recently (as in over the past couple weeks, give or take) my preferences (not showing images in HTML email, default email address for sending, show BCC, etc.) are not sticking permanently.  Sometimes I make/save the changes and they stay for days; other times (like this morning) they don't even stay set for an hour.  My rules are always there, but the other preferences need to be reset periodically -- and seemingly randomly -- to their default values.
    I have deleted all cookies, cleared the cache, etc.  I have not tried another browser because (1) it could be days between "resets" and I don't want to have to use another browser for that long just for troubleshooting and (2) I need this to work in Chrome, so whether it works in another browser is more or less moot.  No matter what troubleshooting steps I've taken, the problem recurs unpredictably.  It is very frustrating because I have to keep a constant eye on the "From" address when replying or sending new messages to mailing lists I'm on (which reject messages from the address that iCloud defaults to), plus with the option defaulting to "On" to show images in HTML email, I'm opening myself up to even more spam than usual.
    So two questions:
    Is anyone else having this same issue?
    Why are these preferences apparently stored in cookies rather than persisting on Apple's server?  Or if they ARE on Apple's server, why do I have to keep changing them back periodically?
    Thanks,
    Brent

    As follow-up, just since I posted this message and without reloading the iCloud tab, restarting the browser, or anything like that, the preferences have once again reverted themselves less than an hour after I changed them.

  • Latest OSX Mavericks on an iMac..... Gmail, View, Sort By,  Date does not stick...

    Sort by date does not stick...
    Is there a solution?

    I've tried re-installing my iTunes software and searched throughout the forums and elsewhere without so far being able to determine how to resolve this difficulty.
    In case my original question formulation was not clear, in the past I could click on the header (while viewing my iTunes library in 'Songs' view) and cycle through "Album", "Album by Artist", in either ascending or descending order, and so forth.
    Now I'm only able to chose between "Album by Artist", either ascending or descending. There is no "Album" view option available to me, as there has always been in the past.
    I'm completely puzzled as to how this happened. Perhaps I inadvertently hit the wrong key combination while using iTunes and it changed something, I just don't know.
    I would really appreciate it if any other forum members have suggestions as to how I might fix this!
