  • Adobe Reader does not see all network printers

    Hi,
    Any help on below would be greatly appreciated
    Thank you
    Issue:
    When printing from Adobe Reader not all network printers appear in the list of printers
    All other applications (notepad, word, excel, powerpoint) see all printers and are able to print
    Tried:
    Drivers: Xerox model specific drivers, universal drivers, global print drivers
    Print Processors: Xerox, winprint
    Remapped / added printers
    Uninstalled/installed printers to print servers
    Print servers: Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012
    Current Environment:
    Windows 7 SP1 x64
    Windows Server 2008 R2
    Adobe:

    Print Processor
         Winprint.dll

    I also have this problem that Adobe Reader will not print, but this only occurred for me after installation of MS Office 2010.
    The proposed solution of changing default printers does not work for me!
    Does anybody have a real explanation as to what causes this problem and a real solution for it?
    I have already tried re-installing Adobe Reader 9.3.4 and this had no effect. I am using Windows XP with SP3.
    thanks for any help ....

  • Bridge CS4 does not see ACR presets in Develop Settings

    I think that this is new with CS4. I create a Preset in ACR in the Preset Panel. That Preset works fine on photos in ACR. The Preset is listed in the Camera Raw Settings folder in the Finder.
    But, when I try to apply the Preset in Bridge via Edit > Develop Settings, the Preset does not appear. Is this correct? I believe that a preset did appear in CS3 in Bridge Develop Settings.
    The preset was created with a Raw file from the 1DS MkIII. Could it be camera-related?
    Am I missing something here?
    Thanks,
    Sonny

    Strange. I Quit Bridge. Relaunched Bridge, and the Presets now appear in the Develop Settings list.
    I presume that I should not have to Quit and relaunch for the presets to appear?
    I created another preset. It only appeared in Develop Settings when I again quit and relaunched Bridge, even though it appears in the Camera Raw Settings folder.

  • Bridge CS4 Does Not See External Drive

    Very suddenly, Bridge is not seeing the external USB connected driver I use to store recent photos. I read a similar message here and the writer was told to add the drive to favorites. That appeared to work for him, but I could not do that since the folder doesn't appear under Computer in the favorites section either. The drive appears in Windows Explorer. I am using Vista 32. Any suggestions?
    Fran

    Did you power up or connect the external drive after Bridge had been started? I've observed that Bridge only includes drives that were attached and active when Bridge was launched; it does not add a drive to its folders list if that drive is started after Bridge is active. With your external drive on (and appearing in explorer) try exiting and relauching Bridge.

  • Adobe PS CS4 does not "see" my USB Drives in Finder

    For some bizarre reason, PS CS4 is no longer "finding" my USB 2TB drive in the Finder/Devices window on my iMac (nothing is showing in devices).  However, it is seeing my my WD NAS drives, and if I go into Finder on my own, it shows the USB drives.  The WD drives are a 2TB MyBook, and a 3TB MyCloud.  I have had some issues with _those_ drives showing up in Finder but its usually a WD firmware issue... and its usually the older MyBook drive that gives me problems.  Anyway... the aforementioned 2TB USB drive also appears (as it should) on the RHS of my iMac screen.  The drive is working just fine, and I have tried powering off the computer and the USB drive... still doesn't show using Photoshop.  I can search within finder for the file I want, and right-click to open in "Adobe Photoshop" but I'm so used to grabbing, editing, and saving files from within CS4 that I'm baffled that this drive all of a sudden can't be "seen" from within PS CS4.  Previously it had been, so I have to assume its some settings or preferences issue?

    As noted above, I am now able to "see" the missing USB drive(s) in Finder so that seems to be resolved.  However, a few new issues have cropped up:
    1.  Not all my installed fonts are in my font listing, but I'll assume I can easily remedy that by activating them (I hope).  I have the sneaking suspicion I deleted some by mistake.
    2.  Safari seems to have gone weird... the upper section is flashing like crazy when I try to type in a URL, also the sidebars flash when I scroll up or down with mouse.  I've installed Chrome so I have a stable browser for the time being.
    3.  No matter what I seem to do in preferences, every new image I open does so within the same window so I have to manually drag it out to compare images.  How do I fix that permanently?
    4.  When I first opened PS this morning I kept getting some sort of error popup that couldn't complete the request?
    Is it safe now to remove the new user account?

  • Frustrated - Installer does not see all hard drives

    Ok. I'm a pretty basic user and here is my situation. I have a G5 with two internal drives. On one drive "A" I have OS X 10.3.9 installed (using that now) on the other internal drive (B) I have 10.4.7. All was working fine using drive "B" as my start up until I used Tech Tool this morning to check/repair volumes on "B". After all the repairs made I tried reboot to OS-X 10.4.7. The choice was there in System Preferences.
    No luck, I now only get the black death screen telling me to reboot. Rebooting does nothing except bringing the must shut down and reboot screen. I tried to use my 10.4 Tiger installation disk to reinstall 10.4 on the "B" drive but the Apple installation program doesn't "see" the drive and so doesn't offer it as an option to install to. The program only sees the "A" drive.
    I tired to install 10.4 on my "A" drive as an upgrade- I get an "errors" almost immediately after it starts and cannot install the up-grade.
    I tried disk utility (from A drive trying to repair B drive)- it cannot "repair" disc B. I can see and use my B harddrive when in 10.3.9 - all programs and files are there and useable - but I can't boot from it nor is it recognized by the Tiger Installation disc. I seem stuck in 10.3.9.
    I have a brand new external firewire drive not hooked up - I'm tempted to drag all files from "A" and copy it to the new drive and then reformat the "A" drive and try a clean install on "A" with 10.4. But I'm a bit nervous - if it doesn't work then I'll have no functioning operating system.
    Sorry. I'm going a little crazy. Any ideas? I'm frustrated and plan to trash Tech Tool if I ever get back to 10.4.7.
    G5   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    It looks like both your drives have serious problem (that's why Disk Utility says it can't repair and you can't update the system in drive "A"). The fact that you can boot into 10.3.9 doesn't mean that the problems don't exist. In your case I would trust either drive and would do a backup of all the data, reformat the drives and then reinstall everything since the tols you have can't solve the problems.

  • IMovie 11 does not see all iPhoto videos

    As many guys are having different problems, but none as mine, I'm creating this new topic.
    I just bought a MacBook Pro, and it came with iLife 11. I copied my pictures/movies folder to the Pictures system folder and imported all to iPhoto (but first, I unchecked the "copy to iPhoto library" option).
    Doing so, iMovie didn't show the movies. After searching a little, I deleted all the Events, checked the "copy to library" back and imported the files again.
    Now, I can see the videos there, but not all. Most interesting is that almost all videos are MP4 H.264, and some appears, others don't (they came from the same camera). Some other MPG MPEG-1/2 aren't there too.
    I didn't migrated from previous versions of iLife. I installed QuickTime 7. The "copy to iPhoto library" is checked. I don't know what to do!
    Thanks.

    John Cogdell said:
    As I always have my preference set to copy items to the iPhoto Library, hopefully I won't see any problems. Once I'm running with iLife '11 (hopefully some time on Monday) I will let you know how things go.
    Neville, just to let you know (as promised), everything went very smoothly with my iLife '11 upgrade. All my iPhoto videos showed up in iMovie '11 within the item "iPhoto Videos" in the Events Library. But, as I mentioned earlier, my preferences are set to copy photos to the iPhoto Library.
    After installing iLife '11, my first step was to open iPhoto and allow the database to update. Once I was satisfied that iPhoto was running OK, I then opened iMovie and waited for it to do all the upgrading. That went smoothly also, other than a warning about a Centred Title missing from one of my iPhoto Videos and that the video wouldn't play without it. I haven't bothered to track that down yet - the video wasn't identified in the warning message.
    I appreciate this doesn't really help you solve your issue, but it does help to confirm that things seem to work OK when the iPhoto preference is set to the option I've selected (copy photos). Note that my iPhoto Library is located on the internal drive. I have a small number of photos that I keep in separate folders outside of the iPhoto Library - mainly stuff I've done for other people that I don't want cluttering up iPhoto (although I realise that these can be hidden in iPhoto).

  • ITunes does not see all photos

    I have found several posts related to this and none have helped. I have an iPad 2 and a windows 7 PC and while I can see the folders I have selected in iTunes the count of photos in those folders is incorrect. I have tried about everything I could find here. All the photos are .jpg and have that extension. I tried the delete photo cache trick, I have removed and resynced the photos. iTunes seems to sync what it sees but as an example in one folder iTunes says there are 28 photos when there are actualy 44, all the same format, most from the same camera. I have several other floders that sync and almost all of them have an incorrect photo count on the iTunes interface. Another odity is that when I check the include vidios box iTunes tells me there are 7 more items in that same folder but there is only one video in that folder so I sure don't know what it is looking at. This all seem rediculiously complicated. Any suggestions?

    I had the problem...firgured my issue out. When I looked at the differences it appears as though itunes wants to know what type of file you have. In other words you need to have the extension. I looked at my photos and the photos itunes saw all had the .jpg or .tif. I exported the files I wanted on the phone, since renaming them didn't change the file name, looked in the finder to make sure that the .jpg was on the file and reimported and boom sync'd perf.
    good luck

  • Not seeing all 12 gigs of ram

    I have (4) 1gig and (4) 2 gig ram modules. I can only get 10 gigs to show up instead of 12 gigs.
    Is there a ram stick config that will work ?

    Either it isn't installed properly; or you have bad DIMM(s).
    Try with just 4 x 2GB in A1 A2 and B1 B2.
    Then try with just 4 x 1GB in same slots.
    Run Apple Hardware Test also.
    DIMMs are installed in pairs on the same Riser next to each other, as in 1:2 and 3:4.

  • Photoshop CS4 not seeing all RAM on Mac?

    I just noticed my Photoshop CS4 is not "seeing" all of the RAM I have installed on my MacPro (2x3Ghz), running Snow Leopard 10.6.1.
    My "About This Mac" reports (correctly) that I have 6GB of RAM installed.
    However, Photoshop's Preferences > Performance window says there is only "3072 MB" available -- or half what I have installed. I know there is system overhead for the OS, but this is with no other applications running.
    I know the Windows version of Photoshop is limited to seeing 2GB RAM because it's 32-bit, but I didn't think that limitation applied to the Mac side.
    I've run the memtest application on the Mac, and it doesn't report any physical problems with my chips.
    Is there anything else I can check or try to get Photoshop to recognize all 6GB of RAM?
    Thanks,
    Robbie

    Surprise... you are running a 32bit app as well. That is why you cannot see more RAM for Photoshop.
    (Windows installs a 32- and a 64-bit executable. Mac only installs a 32-bit app)

  • Can not See All of my Music Library on the play list

    I accidently moved my music library (My documents/My music/my itunes...)
    When I moved it back, iTunes does not see all the song (over 2000). It only see the purchased music. I can use the Add to Library function (In the File menu) and add each song, song by song and I have added a few dozen songs back to the play list. So all the music is there, in the directory, Just can not get iTunes to recogize them.
    ANY suggestions to adding the whole library back at once.
    Thanks

    Do you at least have the little ! (exclamation point) next to the "missing" songs?
    I just had the same thing happen to me, but mine occurred simply by upgrading to the latest version of iTunes... in the process it "lost" about half of my music.
    I simply unchecked "Keep iTunes Music folder organized" under prefrences/advanced tab.. hit "OK", then went back in and re-checked it, hit OK and iTunes began "organizing" my library and miraculously iTunes found all of the missing music.
    There are some decent articles about moving your iTunes library on the support site. They don't always work as advertised, but you're pretty much stuck with My Documents/My Music/iTunes on Windows.
    You may be able to reverse things by following those instructions as well.

  • HT201269 itunes cannot see my iphone backup.  I have a backup of the backup on an external HD, but even tech support cannot figure this one out.  I copy and paste backups into the correct folder but itunes still does not see it.  All I need are my contact

    Sorry for short novel I am writing.  I just wanted to cover as much backround as possible.
    So, here it goes.  I backed up my iphone 4 after renting a movie.  The movie only played the starting credits before I was called on for daddy duty.  A few days later the movie would not play, so I restored my phone from my backup.  The movie would still would not play so itunes support refunded my purchase and ended my viewing privileges for that rental after verifying that I had not viewed the movie.  I then had a problem with my contacts showing up twice in the contacts list after the restore.  So I attempted another restore.  All was well at this point.  I then started having trouble with my pc and decided to copy the internal drive to an external source.  A week later I had a system failure and did a factory restore on my computer.  I re-installed itunes and tried to copy and paste the old backup into the new itunes.  Now itunes just flat out does not see the backup file (I failed to mention that I did a factory reset on the iphone after the last backup, hopping to start fresh).  Tech support had me uninstall and re-install itunes and then copy and paste the old backup into the newly installed itunes with no luck.  The files are all there, but itunes just doesn't see them (itunes says the device has not been backed up to the cloud or to the local machine).  We then tried backing up the factory restored iphone and replacing that restore file with one of my old backups on the external drive.  Ok, this is where it gets weird.  We replaced the guts of the folder but left the folder itself so itunes would continue to recognize the new backup folder with the old files.  Whoohoo, itunes now see's a backup folder full of old files, or so we thought.  The new files were deleted using shift delete so they would be gone for good and not mix with any files or folders.  When I restore my phone, it restores the files that were deleted from the restore file (pause here for a moment and imagine the stupid look on the face of tech support and I while we silently wonder how files that were permanently deleted were restored).  This left tech support and I both scratching our heads.  My service issue was escalated to the next level.  I waited for the phone call the next day that was scheduled at 10am to my wife's phone, but the call never came through.  As usual, apple disappoints again.  I just bought an iphone 5s and still have the iphone 4, and am looking for a solution to retrieve my contacts and restore to the 4 or 5s.  I am guessing that files in other folders must be associated with the iphone backup in order for itunes to retrieve the files.  Any ideas or support in retrieving my contacts would be greatly appreciated.

  • HT201302 I have a large video on my ipad that I would like to transfer to a computer.  But my computer (using various software that came with Windows 7) does not see this video, although it sees all the other videos on my ipad.  This video is too big to t

    I have a large video on my ipad that I need to transfer to my PC (a window 7).  I could also use a windows 8 if that would help.  But all of the applications I have tried do not see this large video (52 mins) even though they transfer smaller videos fine.  The ipad will not let me trim the video, saying it is too large.  This is true even though I only want to trim the original, and not create a new video.  (Actually it refuses before it gets to the choice of creating something new or just eliminating something from the original).  I have been to an Apple store, but the people there only could recommend that I try some alternate applications to do the transfer (Kodak EasyShare).  I don't have much faith this will work.  I think I have this application on an old PC, and it is not something I want on my new computers.
    Is it possibled the size of this video just violates the transfer formats for files over USB?  If so, I will just delete the video and move on.  But the video is really something I wanted to save.  I would be happy to eliminate most of the video, but the ipad will not let me trim it.
    I also tried to import the video with Windows Moviemaker (free with W7).  It also does not see this file, but works fine on the other videos on the ipad.
