Presets have vanished

Recently the effects presets have disappeared. That is, I can use equalizer, chorus, phaser, etc. but the only choice I have with each effect is manual. There were some presets I really liked using (deep phase, hi-fi) and now I can't find them.
Any thoughts on how to restore these settings? If I have to reinstall the program will I lose all my files?

the only choice I have with each effect is manual.
make sure the popUp menu at the top of track "i"nfo is set to Show All
If I have to reinstall the program will I lose all my files?
no, but if you don't have a complete up-to-date backup, you're making a dangerous mistake on a daily basis

  • Keywords Have Vanished

    Using Lightroom 3; Windows 7 as OS.
    When creating my catalogues, I made sure that under the Preferences / Presets I had removed the tick from the option to store keywords with a catalogue. My understanding being that the keywords would remain "within the programme" and so available for which ever catalogue one might be working with.
    On opening the programme today, my keyword list was missing with some 30,000 images NOT being in the count I saw when I last used the programme earlier this week.
    I can see a small number of keywords but not all that I had created.
    Those that are there are not in the groupings I had put them.
    I haven't hidden anything accidentally - have checked for that.
    I haven't selected an alternative keyword list inadvertently.
    Having backed up my files a little while ago, is there a way to export that keyword list and then import it into my current catalogue status?
    Any suggestions please?  All advice most gratefully received.
    Cheers, Tony

    Linda,
    do you mean this thread: Disappearing keywords
    I checked to see if the 2 keywords that have vanished were listed in the keyword HUD.
    How did you check?
    Sometimes it helps to enter the keyword, or a part of it, into the searchfield, and then to open all disclosure triangles. The keywords are hierarchical, and they may be hidden in subcategories of other keywords. This way, you can have duplicate keywords, that are not identical, if they are appearing at different levels in the hierarchy.
    For example: In my library are two different keywords "family", one in the Stock categories personal section and one in my own custom keywords section of the HUD:

  • Help. I have a Google Hangout in 40mins and my sound seems to have vanished. I went to Sys Prefs and it came up with Digital Out....and the Internal Speakers option is no longer there. How do I reboot, or fix this please?

    There are many possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Some may not apply to your model. Back up all data before making any changes.
    1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article. Don't skip any of the steps. It's the starting point for further efforts to solve the problem.
    2. Make sure you have a fully up-to-date installation of OS X.
    3. If you've installed an application called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and restart. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
    4. Other third-party software that has been reported to interfere with sound output includes "Boom" and "Samsung Kies." If applicable, uninstall according to the developer's instructions (not by dragging something to the Trash.)
    5. If an AirPlay device is selected for sound output from iTunes (or from other applications via third-party software such as "Airfoil"), deselect it.
    6. Launch the application "Audio MIDI Setup" by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search and selecting it in the results (it should be at the top.) Select Built-in Output from the list on the left. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them.
    7. If a red light is visible in the audio-out port when sound should be playing, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. If not, the machine needs to be serviced. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by the warranty.
    If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
    8. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones. Restart and test.
    9. If you have a MacBook Air, turn off Bluetooth and restart.
    10. Start up in safe mode. Don't log in; just restart as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
    11. Reset the NVRAM.
    12. Reset the SMC.
    13. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/Audio
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Recreate your settings in the Sound preference pane.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    14. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
    15. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

  • How can I find my email in Apple Mail from before my company switched hosting providers?  People with Outlook have all of their old and new emails.  My old emails have vanished from Apple Mail.

    How can I find my email in Apple Mail from before my company switched hosting providers?  People with Outlook in my company have all of their old and new emails.  My old emails have vanished from my Apple Mailbox on my macbook and other Apple devices.  I do not have my mail backed up in time machine recently nor did I export my emailbox recently.  Any ideas?

    Try looking in your User folder.
    Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Mail/V2
    If you prefer to make your User library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
    Show User Library
    You might want to bookmark the command. I have to use it again after every update. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

  • My AfterEffects presets have a lock on them. How do I unlock them?

    my AfterEffects presets have a lock on them. How do I unlock them?
    Both when I go thru bridge or thru the effects panel

    Provide a screenshot. It is in no way clear what you mean, even more so since you have not provided any system and version info. If at all I would suspect mundane file permissions/ user privileges issues.

    First of all, look in the garbage. It's easy to move a folder there without knowing it.
    Second, do a Spotlight Search (Cmd-Space), and search for a file you know should be there. If you find the file, there's a good chance that the other files you're looking for are there, too.
    If you're in kind of a crisis mode, coming up with pat advice probably isn't a good policy - but I suggest investing in a backup drive in case anything goes wrong. A program like Time Machine can be a life saver.
    Post with your results!

  • My bookmarks have vanished and I can't add them again

    I went to use Safari and my bookmarks have vanished. I'm not sure exactly when but they have gone and I'm left with Apple, google, bing, yahoo and the iPad user guide. I can't seem to add any bookmarks now either. Not sure why this has happened. Any one have any idea how to fix this?

    Try a reset:
    Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo.

    Hello,
    Why do you need to use the regasm utility from the post-build action?
    There is a difference between signing the assembly with a strong name and digital signature. The
    How to: Sign an Assembly with a Strong Name article in MSDN explains how to sign an assembly with a strong name (.snk). See
    How to digitally sign a strong named assembly for adding a digital signature.

  • Hi, I have recently downloaded a trial version of Ps CC (up until then I have used Ps CS6). All my presets have migrated to the CC version from the CS6 one. However, I can't find any of the plug-ins which I have in CS6, such as Imagenomic Noiseware, Googl

    Hi, I have recently downloaded a trial version of Ps CC (I am still using Ps CS6). All my presets have migrated very nicely to the CC version from the CS6 one. However, I can't find any of the plug-ins which I have in CS6, such as Imagenomic Noiseware, Google NIK Collection, etc. in the CC version. How do I "migrate" the plug-ins to Ps CC? I would appreciate some help with this. Thanks

    Plug-Ins are not Presets.  You need to install Plug-in into CC just like you had to install Plug-ins into CS6.

  • Develop presets have different effects after saving file as either .tif or .psd

    When I open a raw .dng file in Photoshop and MAKE NO CHANGES and then save it (either .tif or .psd), the resulting photo appears to be identical to the original raw .dng file. HOWEVER when I then apply development presets (whether my own or Lightroom presets), the presets have a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT effect on the .tif or .psd file than the .dng file. More precisely: the .tif or .psd files have significantly more contrast, saturation and are significantly more exposed. And in fact, despite using the exact same preset, the histograms for each of the pics are different. In addition, the same preset on the .dng file treats colors differently than on the .tif or .psd file. After much experimenting and comparing of each development module and each individual slider, the sliders that seem to behave differently are Brightness, Contrast and Saturation. With each of these sliders, however, the difference in effect is only minimal and should not affect hue, but when applying a preset that affects hue, the actual change in hue is different for the .dng file vs the .tif. or .psd file. All of this even though all of the presets are the same. Whatsmore, applying Auto Tone on the two apparently identical files results in dramatically different affects: the .tif or .psd file is properly corrected, whereas the .dng file has its Brightness decreased and Contrast increased, i.e. the Auto Tone moves the sliders different for the .dng file than for the .tif or .psd file. Is there a solution to this problem?

    I'm one of those who eventually migrated from PS to LR. I used to do a layered TIFF for every selected image. With 17-21MP raw files, that amounted to usually between 180-250MB files in addition to the raw. After completely changing my approach, for 99% of my work now I only work from the raw file, including printing / generating web JPEGS. This was really enabled by having the spotting and local editing at the raw file level. But pretty much no more TIFFs as working / final images, just raws with settings. Obviously different people have different requirements, but it's well worth looking into the switch in approach, even if you still end up using PS / Bridge / ACR.

  • Is there a way to recover old emails? I moved a few folders around on the hard disk and now my emails have reverted to Factory settings and all my old emails and address book have vanished. I am still running on 10.4.11 and Apple can not help me.

I am still running on 10.4.11 and Apple can not help me. Does anyone out there have any idea on how to recover my lost emails and/or addresses?

    Well, your profile info says 10.4.11, and you are posting your question in the iMac (PPC) category.  If you are running Snow Leopard, it must be a fairly recent Intel iMac.
    In that case, you should definitely post your question here
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.6_snow_leopard
    where other Snow Leopard users can see your question.  Restate the problem, what error messages you get, and what you have tried already (for trouble-shooting).

  • PS CS6 Auto Recover??? Posted earlier but seems to have vanished

    Hi... posted this earlier but the problem/question seems to have vanished... so, reposting.
    Was asked to troubleshoot a Win 7 PS13 (CS6) crash today - first time to my knowledge PS has ever crashed! On restart, no Auto Recover option. All work lost. Did some checking.
    Found two folders:
    1. On the boot disk, found Users\xxxx...\....\AutoRecover
    2. On the exclusive scratch disk - set on G: - found the folder G:\PSAutoRecover (as well as the PS temp file in the root of G:).
    Both the AutoRecover folders were empty.
    Set auto save time to 5 minutes... Rebooted. Restarted PS and created a new file - test01.psd. Saved it. Did some work, didn't save... kept checking... (played games for 15 mins). Checked. Both AutoRecover files remained empty.
    Crashed the system (forced shutdown). Auto recover option and the test file was not showing up in the recent files list... opened the original test01.psd. No work subsequent to the original save showed up. Nor any recovery option. Did some more work on the file... just checked... both the AutoRecover folders are still empty.
    (Just closed PS and saw that the PS temp file deleted itself. Both the AutoRecovery folders remain - empty.}
    So, my questions are:
    1. Is there a 'Permissions' attribute i need to set? Or...
    2. Is the AutoRecover messed up? Or...
    3. Is the installation messed up and should i advise a reinstallation?
    TIA....

    Neil...
    Think you can somehow help... Have done the following, again today:
    1. Uninstalled the entire CS Suite. This includes registry and folders
    2. Ran the Adobe CS6 Cleanup tool - twice. Once for the entire suite and a second time for PS
    3. Ran a registry clean up program
    4. Did a Disk defragment - not really important, but still
    5. Rebooted between various stages...
    6. Reinstalled CS6 Master Collection minus some programs which are not needed such as Flash, AI 32 bit, etc. But installed both versions of PS
    7. Validated using PS
    8. Started - separately - both versions of PS. Set scratch to E drive (primary partition - 100GB) and Autorecover to 5 mins
    9. Ran both versions of PS and opened and modified a file
    In each case, the 'PSAutoRecover' folder was created on the scratch drive - E:\ alongwith the PS temp file. But the 'PSAutoRecover' folder never got populated.
    Must be something unique to this system but can't figure out what. It can't be a permissions issue because both the scratch file and the autorecover folder are being created.
    BTW... all Adobe entries in the config.sys startup are disabled - except for the Adobe CS6 Service Manager. But can't be those either as they are all related to updates, Acrobat, etc.
    Yet, putting the primary scratch on C;\ solves the problem. However, as both Curt and you have tested, that should not be an issue...
    (Have not been able to check on any other system as this is the only one that has CS6.)
    System specs: Intel i5 processor, 12gb RAM, 64bit Win 7, P-55 USB3 Motherboard
    Grateful for any suggestions / ideas...
    Cheers...

  • My contacts and appointments have vanished

    I have an iphone 3gs and a pc running Vista and use Microsoft Outlook  2007. I installed iOS5 and icloud and now all of my contacts and appointments have vanished from Outlook. What should I do? I was due to buy a mac laptop this week to replace my pc but am disappointed with Apple for creating this problem. I have looked on Google and lots of people seem to have similar problems caused by icloud but no one seems to know how to rectify it.

    Thanks for replying but I already have outlook on iphone. I have been syncing it all along via usb lead with no problems. Now the info is still on phone but not pc. Strangely some appointments (very few) have remained in calendar but my contacts have all vanished.

  • My Junk and Deleted Mailboxes have vanished.

    When I upgraded to Yosemite, both my Junk Mail and Deleted Items mailboxes in Mail have vanished.  I can neither find them or create new ones.  If I delete something accidentally, or if a new sender gets tagged as Junk my mistake, I can't recover the emails.
    HELP!

    Regarding the Outbox mailbox with Tiger Mail, check
    this link.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/2.0/
    en/ml1105.html
    No Junk icon/folder is available in the mailboxes
    drawer when Junk Mail is set to Training. Is Junk
    Mail set to Training or Automatic?
    Okay, sort of solved!
    I had Mail's junk preferences selected as perform custom actions. However, if I put it in training, will it 'learn' what I decide as junk insofar as, when I select automatic again, it'll 'know' what I've previously decided as junk?
    Sorry for being a pain!

  • Mail in Inbox and Sent folders Have Within a Specificed Date Have Vanished

    Friends,
    For the second time in history, the mail in my inbox and sentbox have completely vanished, leaving an odd hole in my archives. Emails from the previous two months show up, but emails from before this date have vanished.
    Likewise with my Sent folder. I have old email from 2006 but it jumps from August '06 to May 2007! Where did the emails inbetween go? I have always had the option to NEVER delete sent emails selected, but somehow they're gone nonetheless.
    I can't even locate email from last week, let alone a few months ago. I was lucky when this happened before because I had just backed up my Mail folder and contents, but now it's happened again! I've rebuilt the mailbox several times, have tried to reaccess my server, but to no avail.
    I can understand a size limit on the server for the inbox, but not for the sent folder.
    I've read the discussions up and down, but frankly haven't been able to peg anyone else's issue as my own when it gets down to the details.
    I'm running a POP.
    Thanks in advance for ANY help.
    Kelly

    You’re welcome.
    If the *.emlx files associated with those messages are gone from the filesystem, rebuilding mailboxes or re-creating the index cannot make them reappear.
    There is no way to know what may have happened if you don’t know when it happened and what did you do that could have a bearing on it. What you mention about moving data between computers could certainly have a bearing on it when it happened the first time, but there is no way to know what the problem exactly was in that case either with the information you’ve provided...
    If the messages are nowhere to be found and you don’t have a backup, you may try to salvage as many deleted *.emlx files as possible with a data recovery tool such as Data Rescue II, TechTool Pro, or FileSalvage. Of these, the only one I know for sure that can currently recover deleted *.emlx files is FileSalvage. Beware, however, that anything you’ve done with the computer since the messages were deleted may have caused them to be overwritten, which makes me believe your chances of recovering them now are pretty low...
