Photoshop opens a separate (but identical) window every time i select edit original in Illustrator
There was is currently a "Discussion" in the PS Forum on this only it refers to InDesign.
I can confirm this behaviour using Illusttrator. Is a way to disable Photoshop from opening two files with the same name?
I realize this could be a useful feature to some, however in certain workflows this is annoying.
Test this:
Open Photoshop.
Create a quick file.
Save on desktop.
Do not close the PS file.
Open Illustrator and place your PS file.
Now "option double click" the placed image in Illustrator to edit original.
BANG. You now have two identical PS files open.
That does not happen to me in CS5 or CS6 Illustrator on Mac, and has never happened in the past. What happens is the already open Photoshop file is brought to focus.
Do you possibly have CC? I know they added a feature for unembed images, and wondering if possibly you have an embedded image rather than linked. In CS5 or CS6 mac you cannot edit original on an embedded image, but if you could you would theoretically have 2 images looking the same open in photoshop.
You could try resetting your Phothsop preferences, if my stab at this being related to CC has no relevance.

I'm running CS5 and have a problem when editing linked files from InDesign.
As an example:
• I have an InDesign file that has a Photoshop file linked to it.
• I need to edit the linked file so i use the 'Edit Original' function in the Links Panel - this open the link in Photoshop.
• I edit and save but leave the file open
• InDesign updates the change but i need to change something else
• I use 'Edit Original' again but instead of taking me straight back to the PSD file i was just working on, Photoshop opens a new window that i am supposed to make changes to
• If i was to make 5 changes, there would be 5 separate, windows open in Photoshop
• Closing the file at the end of each change isn't an option as some Photoshop files exceed 1.5GB
Any suggestions...?> but i would much prefer the link to automatically update once changes have been made - as it should.
I concur, and am a little frustrated with suggestions that you should "simply" flip between apps. That isn't a solution, it's what you're forced to do because things aren't working properly.
I see you have been asking in the InDesign forum. I am surprised no one there suggested trashing your preferences. I would start there, I would also consider trashing Photoshop's preferences (I think it's much the same deal as ID, but you'd better check.)
I wonder what happens when you use Edit With > Photoshop. Does that behave the same?
And I can't help but wonder if it isn't something in your system. Does double-clicking a PSD in Finder work properly -- and twice in a row? Do you notice anything unusual at all? What about applets that commandeer shortcuts? Grasping at straws, but sometimes the way to fix a problem is to look where it can't be. -

Any suggestions...?I'd expect a poweruser to go to their Keyboard preferencepane to enable standard F keys.
When you buy an Apple computer without loading it with software when would you use those keys? I can't think of one application that uses it, other than the obvious things like CTRL+F2 and the like that hardly anyone uses and I'd consider only there for strict keyboard jocks. After years of new computers having to disable the hide dock shortcut for feather it shouldn't be a crazy thing to expect someone to find their keyboard preferences if they demand that functionality. Heck, even Adobe just dropped that shortcut in CS4.
Either that or ask for apple to make 140 key keyboards. -
Windows forced a reboot while I had a Firefox window open with the History Panel (ctl+H) open on the left side of the window. Every since then, whenever I start Firefox, that history panel opens with it in the left side of the new window. How do I stop that?

I am a Windows Vista User. I updated my iTunes Version 10.3. Then, when I re-opened my iTunes, all files were gone! Good thing I consolidated the files and just imported the files again. But, this happens every time I close and open my iTunes. Help?
In iTunes 11 uncheck the preferences setting in in the iTunes Preferences panel "Advanced > Copy Files to iTunes Media folder when adding to Library"

I got a new Macbook pro in March and transferred all of my old files into the new macbook from my old one. But ever since then, my iPhoto just does not open up. It says 'error' every time I try to open it, but I am still able to attach the iPhotos saved to emails. Help! How do I get my iPhoto back?
Thanks, Sig.
The old computer is a 2.6 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
The new one is a 2.3 GHz intel core i7
In going over this, thanks to "tallking it out" with you, I did discover the Text Edit problem. Because I've still been unable to get the new computer text size (fonts or whatever) to match the old computer, I did not notice that the curser is now different--the line midway down the curser has to be placed on the line I am working upon, otherwise the edits go elsewhere on the page. Now, with a bit of difficulty, I am able to get Text Edit to work correctly.
If you have any ideas as to why my menu bar and Text Edit type are still so slow, I'd love to have them.
(I went through the process you suggested earlier, re my Trackpad preferences, and found no improvement.) -

when "Edit in Photoshop" in lightroom photoshop opens the picture but without the changes I made in lightroom
Please help meHi mariad91843143,
To enable the non-destructive workflow and the powerful features of Photoshop CC, the RAW image will need to be opened into Photoshop whilst, in the meantime, keeping our Lightroom changes so that we can work on them later. Instead of using the ‘Edit in Adobe Photoshop’ option in Lightroom – CMD +E (Mac) or CTRL +E (PC) – the option ‘Open as Smart Object in Photoshop’ will be used.
This is a very useful tutorial to understand how to manage the workflow between Photoshop and Lightroom Canon Professional Network - Lightroom & Photoshop CC workflow (Pt. 1): Smart Objects .... -

When I log on to Firefox, the home page displays a tool bar called "MP3 Tube" powered by Yahoo. I would like to remove that toolbar permanently from my start up page. I have tried to uncheck it in the View menu under Toolbars, but it reappears every time I log off and log back on to Firefox.
You're welcome

I have been working on a file in pages which I cannot open now. Every time I select it "an error occurred and pages must close" appears and pages shuts down. I have tried to duplicate the document but cannot open the copy either. I am unable to email, share via iwork, itunes, idisk or WebDAV all of these options just close pages down. Does anyone have any ideas......Thank you
And you are quite persistent, Menu Boy, in offering pernickety and pointless prattle, in response to a "support page" on iPad's buggy Pages App.
Let's summarise, for those reviewing this threadless thread for app support..
Mobile pages works reliably for simple docs, especially creating letters and Menus for Microsoft's Kindy canteen (even on special days with nice big pictures).
When importing more complex docs and/or working with larger creations, it is prone to randomly corrupting files upon re-opening, along similar lines as Word (running on a PC).
So, Menu Boy, do they let you sneak into classes every now and then? What is the secret to their training? "Say after me, if any I.T. product works just some of the time, that's a job well done, and if something randomly stops working, we call that the user's fault... And if they complain, we call them names." -
I have Adobe Premiere Elements 11, haven't used it in awhile, but it crashes every time on startup.
From the Premiere Elements Information FAQ http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1042180

Uprgraded to yosemite all good but iphoto crashes every time I attempt to upgrade the photo library
Hi all,
This is driving me insane.
I have uprgraded to yosemite all good but iphoto crashes every time I attempt to upgrade the photo library:-
I have upgraded to yosemite 3 times in case thats where there problem was - no.
I removed and reinstalled the new iphoto program about 5 times - no avail.
I have installed iphoto library upgrader but it says that my library does not need it.
I have installed iphoto9.1 update but it states that it cannot be installed on the disc as iphoto 9.0 or later must be installed but i have installed the latest version?
I have even upgraded the server and i paid for this.
When i open iphoto in applications it will open then state that i need to upgrade the library - i am happy to do this.
I agree to this then iphoto crashes and closes before doing anything else.
I have also tried holding the option button and opening iphoto but it crashes all the same.
I am at a loss what to do. I could not access my library at all but i managed to find all my pics in finder so i have backed everything up and deleted all the files in the hope this would fix it - nope. Still the same.
Does anyone have any suggestions?? Please oh please, this has taken days and countless wifi hours...
TIA...Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
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.
