Please fix liquify already!!

Hi,
There is one problem with liquify that never got fixed: Most of the times (always?) when processing large files, it doesn't use the user-specified scratch disc or the TMP-Folders but creates temporary files (*_MVM_*.tmp) in the root directory of arbitrary (!) drives (even external usb drives). This even happens, if there is plenty of free RAM available (~several GBs).
Best case scenario: things are severely slowed down even on the newest fastest machines (e.g. when it picks a slow disc that you only use for storage), worst case scenario: "No more virtual tiles can be allocated" (e.g. when it picks a disc with only little space left or one where you don't have write permissions).
There are so, so many complaints about that in the web (for years now!), e.g.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/747353?start=50&tstart=0

http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/754197/0
http://www.realgeek.com/forums/photoshop-cs4-liquify-tool-issue-472605.html
... however, no fix yet!
The obvious improvement would be to create the tmp-files in a well-defined place (what about scratch?) that the user can control.
That's a one-liner that every intern at Adobe should be able to code. Of course it would be even better, if these files weren't created in the first place.
Anyway, please fix it!
Btw, did anyone at least find a workaround for the problem?
Thanks!

I used utilities to source my 10.6 snow leopard install disc to my main hardrive, and now when I turn on my computer the apple with the spinning wheel stays on the screen and stuck like that. How do I fix it Help please. I already tried all the commands

I used utilities to source my 10.6 snow leopard install disc to my main hardrive, and now when I turn on my computer the apple with the spinning wheel stays on the screen and stuck like that. How do I fix it Help please. I already tried all the commands such as Command R, Holding down the Option key, C and holding down shift at the start up but nothing happens.
initialy All I was trying to do was downgrade 10.7 to 10.6 .

You have to consider the possibility the hard drive may be dying. If your data isn't backed up, try one of the tools below:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-1689
Once you are sure your data is backed up, we can examine other possibilities. In the meantime call AppleCare for your original installation DVDs. You may need them.

Apple, Please Fix Your Cinema Display Adapters Already

I know this is not a new issue since there are already topics identical to my problem. I bought my Cinema Display in 2007, since then I have had to buy 3-4 power adapters. When they fail the screen goes black, then you unplug it and it works for a short time but as you keep using it the time they work keeps decreasing. My question here is why, Apple, have you not fixed this problem which I have had for the last 5 years? The other issue besides money spent is my computer is basically worthless until Apple sends me the new part. I either have to have a backup power supply for the Cinema Display or have a different brand monitor as a backup. Apple, please fix this problem, I like the display, fix the adapter.

Brian,
I had this same issue and finally found a prefPane called SwitchResX that addresses the issue that I wish Apple had. It is designed to many other things but I only use it to deactivate a second display and it seems to work well for that.

Please fix your web plugin immediately, yes this message in the right forum

Ok.
On my mac, java takes about 5-10 seconds to load in a web page applet from either safari or chrome.
This is 4.9 to 9.9 seconds too long.
PC is a bit faster but not much.
Sun absolutely wrecked java with respect to the web-client.
Please fix this.
Why: Because I want to write web-apps which don't suck. Which means I can't use javascript. Because despite the gajillions of money poured into marketing, it is really very, very slow.
How to fix:
It is very easy.
1. Use PhoneME with JIT. (get startup time to near zero). You might say, "well, we're about to get java to have zero startup time." But this is what you have been saying for ever, and failing at, miserably! Stop trying, give us a JavaME plugin instead.
2. Do NOT distribute monolithic massive class libraries. Instead, give me the opportunity to create class loaders. (I know you think you already do, but please look up the 10 year old bugs regarding the web plugin and class loaders). Make the distributable as SMALL as possible.
3. Are you writing the pluginin "in-between" code in webkit? If you are, fire who ever is writing it. If you aren't, WTF, the connection between the browser and java is slow as a slug. If I was just a bit more of a cynic I would think google is putting in usleep(1000) between calls. Take this code over NOW.
Look, you STILL have a tremendous opportunity in the web-client-space.
You need to show that Java is BETTER than javascript. Which it could be.
But currently it sucks.
It uses too much memory, it has a slow startup time, the connection between javascript and java is slow.
I should be able to write <script type="jar.pack.gz/java" src="blahblah.jar.pack.gz"></script> and multiply my performance by a thousand. Please do it.
I should be able to use a java2javascript library to simplify modifying the dom.
I shouldn't have to write javascript, except for inline code.
BUT INSTEAD I'M SPENDING MY TIME OPTIMIZING GWT.
Javascript sucks, we all know it is rising because of a vacuum of any real performance.
Please fill this void, or someone else will.
Thanks,
-tim

Crash report when i sign out from app store after finish install mountain lion on my macbook pro retina. please fix this

Hi, I already finish download osx maountain lion after 2 attempts for my macbook pro retina. and when I want to sign out from my account at app store, it crash and some crash report show up. and if I sign in it happen also, but the app store still can be run after got the crash report, and I already sent the report to apple. do anyone got this problems ? and for apple : please fix this problems !

Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
        the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.

Please fix this

Hey. So I recently just upgraded from my iPhone 5 to an iPhone 6 Plus. I am very impressed with how smoothly it is working. The graphic enhancements are amazing, too! However, I noted a few bugs that are still there since iOS 8's debut and they are kinda annoying and I want apple to get rid of them. First of all -- this one is EXTREMELY annoying -- is the multitasking feature. I love the way it works, but, um, it shows content that no longer exists. For example, say that you were about to close ten tabs from the multitask bar. But before you did that, you were on safari and you finally closed a web page. Once you click on the home button and you double press it, say you scroll to the safari app, you see the content you were recently viewing even though it's not really there. I'm sorry this is kinda hard to understand, I'm only 14. Another noted bug also involves the home button. Say you are on the weather application. You go to the multitasking bar and you close the tab. Just as you are about to, you repeatedly press the home button before it fully closes the application. Once its closed, you get stuck on a blank home screen, or in some cases, your left without your status bar (carrier, time, battery, etc.). One final thing I want to jot down is a new feature. I love iOS 8's capabilities, but it needs something. A few software update(s) ago, I remember apple added a feature to switch between 2G, 3G, and 4G along w/ LTE. I already know that it varies upon your carrier if they released 4G or not. But I want to be able to use 2G for battery saving and data consuming purposes. I only have 300 MB on my plan (AT&T), and I'm pretty sure phablets use a whole lot of data. I want to be able to switch between 2G, 3G, and 4G LTE, and I'm pretty sure other people do too. That's all I have to say. Please fix this apple, or are there any solutions to prevent these errors? Thanks.
— Brian

My first question is why are you going in the recents and removing items at all? Unless an app is actively misbehaving, there's no reason to do this. You might want to review this article:
Understand multitasking and background activity on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
I've never experienced the error you're attempting to describe. But then, I can't figure out why you're throwing in that extra tap on the Home button.
The presence or absence of the ability to switch to 3G or 2G is carrier dependent. The carrier, not Apple determines if that setting is made available. In the U.S., carriers are in the process of deprecating their older, slower networks. They don't want you using them unless absolutely necessary because the newer networks are unavailable. The older networks don't have nearly the capacity of the newer ones.

Deliberate or Unintentional??? Please fix!!!

Dear Apples --
I do not know if this change was deliberate or unintentional, but my 30 pin to HDMI connector no longer works after installing iOS 8. What is going on?
I am a person with visual impairment, so I rely on the 'mirroring' of my iPad to my 37 inch TV, so that I can use it appropriately. Please fix this so that I may do so again.
Thank you very much for your kind consideration of my issue. I look forward to hearing back from you, and will await your reply.
Best regards,
~Juan Antonio

The specific incompabilty (thus far) is with the 30-pin adapter for video connection. (VGA, HDMI to projectors ir tv).
It's not just my personal experience. See the many threads already going on. For instance:
30 pin to VGA adapter won't work since iOS 8
I upgraded to ios8 and can no longer connect my iPad to the projector in my classroom.
unable to use HDMI adapter after iOS 8.0 upgrade
Odd VGA output interaction with original Apple adapter and ios 8.0.2

Please fix international keyboard issues (Win)

Hello
This was already reported before 1.1 (and before Br 2, and before Elements 3 :-)).
It's impossible to type "a/A with ogonek" (U+0104, U+0105) using standard windows keyboard "Polish (Programmers)" since it's using right Alt Gr + letter combination and Lightroom is incorrectly treating Alt Gr as Alt + Ctrl. Please fix this issue. Would be good idea also to add this to Adobe's code of practice or something similar, so I wouldn't have to report this every time you guys come up with new software.
Thank You
m.

Trying out ...
is this writen somewhere and i missed it ?
It seems to solve all of my keyboard & mouse issues.
Only is the cursor quite bizarre ; when i go left with the [left arrow],the cursor shows in every position it goes (dunno if one can visualize this!), and doesn't blink anymore. Anyway that's just a detail that I'l cope with later.
Thanks a lot Cerebral

A plea to Apple please fix slow finder, slow "save-as" options, slow address search in mail

Like many I am adding my voice to those whose finder has slowed to a crawl, it takes many seconds for it to "see" a folder.
I found one fix to the above at http://osxdaily.com/2013/11/13/fix-finder-slow-high-cpu-use-mac-os-x/which basically resets the com.apple.finder.plist file. Thanks to the user who posted this.
And the "save-as" function that is also very slow. I have seen some work-arounds but I am not comfortable messing around in Terminal and would probably forget to get rid of a turn-around when an OSX update comes. So apple please solve this.
The mail problem is similar. It is now quicker to drag an e-mail address from contacts into mail than typing in a name! Apple please fix.
None of these problems were there with Mountain Lion and judging from the hundreds of posts out there, it seems it can only be a Maverick issue.
Thank you.

I am in OSX Mavericks discussions so not sure where you get the "Which iPad" item from.
I surmise it was from the link you provided.
Most problems reported on this site are directly attributable to incompatible system modifications and poorly written or otherwise ill-conceived utilities. They exist in roughly the same proportion that have existed with every OS X upgrade since Jaguar, at least. Apple has no way to fix problems caused by software they did not develop and cannot control.
If you are interested in solving your problems more information is required. Start by ruling out hardware defects, including an impending disk failure that would cause the symptoms you described. Back up your system if you have not already done so.
To help determine the possible causes of this behaviour read the following. None of what follows is intended to fix anything, but it will provide the additional information required to advance troubleshooting, assuming you are interested in doing that.
Boot OS X Recovery by holding ⌘ and r (two fingers) while you start your Mac. At the Mac OS X Utilities screen, select Disk Utility. Select your startup volume (usually named "Macintosh HD") and click the Repair Disk button. Describe any errors it reports in red.
When it finishes restart your Mac and test again for operation. If it's still not behaving as you expect it should, please post the results of EtreCheck in accordance with the following instructions:
Apple Support Communities contributor etresoft wrote a very useful app to quickly gather certain system information that may help point to a cause of this problem. Go to his website, download and run EtreCheck:
http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck
Etrecheck will be in your Downloads folder. Open it from there. You may see the following dialog box:
Click Open - etresoft contributes to this forum frequently and can be considered a trustworthy developer.
It will take a moment to run as it collects its data.
Copy and paste its output in a reply.
Do not be concerned about anything that says "Problem" or “failed” or anything else that may appear in red.
EtreCheck was designed to remove any personal information (such as your computer's name and serial numbers) but if you see anything that looks like an email address or any other personal information that should not be divulged to others, please delete or obscure that information when you post the reply.
When you are finished with EtreCheck, quit the program. It occupies very little space, and you can keep it or drag it to the Trash as you wish.
After completing the above please determine if the problems also occur in "Safe Mode":
Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components. Read about it: Starting up in Safe Mode
You must disable FileVault before you can start your Mac in Safe Mode.
Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
Merely starting your Mac in Safe Mode is not intended to resolve the problem, it's to observe its performance without certain additional components.
To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.
System performance problems for reasons that cannot be isolated to any other cause justify an SMC reset. Be sure to read the procedure carefully and follow all the steps exactly as written, even if they seem inapplicable or trivial.

Connecting external drive crashes iMovie 8 - Apple please fix this!

If I have external drives connected when I start iMovie 8 it will crash when it tries to index them.
Also if I have no drives connected and iMovie 8 running, the program will crash as soon as I connect a drive.
Apple, please fix this! I need to use external drives for storing of my videos.

Are your external drives formatted as Mac OS Extended / HFS+ ..? They should be.
If they aren't, you'll have to remove whatever's already stored on them, and then re-format them using Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility. You can then put back what was stored on them.
(P.S: I have NO crashes using iMovie '08 and any correctly-formatted external FireWire drives. I don't use external USB drives, as they're not fast enough for the sustained read/write speeds which video requires.)

APPLE...PLEASE FIX THIS!!!(Ringtone Volume Bug)

Here's a link to another thread which includes the mentioned bug(ringtone volume lowers by itself from full to half).
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1599434&tstart=255
I have two iPhone 3G and one iPhone 2G and all of them have this bug, no matter if FW 2.0 or 2.0.1.
I already missed several important calls, my wife is a physician and even missed an emergency call from one of her patients, this is a very annoying bug.
PLEASE FIX IT Thank you!

This is primarily a user-to-user support forum, so even when you put messages to Apple in all caps, it's not likely to get to them from here.
I suggest you call Apple technical support to sort out your problem or provide feedback directly to Apple's developers through the iPhone feedback page: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

Please, Fix this I think its a BUG

I'm using iPhone 3gs
I have problem with my volume slider. It works fine for, like 7 to 6 hours. Then, the problem of volume slider started to occur. Every time I adjust the volume slider it slides back to where it was. Here is a good example of a guy who has the same problem. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajsMXBo5fXM Please, take a look at 1:54 min.
I have the way to fix the problem, though, is to restart iPhone. but I dont want to restart my iPhone everytime this problem occur
I don't know whether its the hardware or software problem, but PLEASE fix this or gimme the solution.
By the way, it happens with both FW3.0.1 and 3.1
I thought upgrading the FW would help but its not!
Thank you for ur kind answer.
PS. Is there anyone who has the same problem as mine??? How do u solve it??

I am having this same type of problem which I have posted in here already.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2085835&tstart=0
My problem is when I am using my phone hooked up through the headphones in my car, every now and then the volume will slide on its own either all the way up or all the way down and the volume picture will be stuck on. The only way to stop this is to turn the phone off and then back on. It doesn't happen all the time and I guess I am too lazy to call Apple or go to a store and my question still has not been answered on this forum. Up until now I have not heard anyone else having this problem and yours is very close to what I am experiencing but at the same time different. I will try the resetting of my phone to see if that works. Thanks for your post.

Please fix liquify already!!
