PS CS3 very strange behaviors (won't open only some jpegs)

I have been having weird problems with PS CS3 all week. I finally resorted to wiping out my login identy for Windows and making a new one and then later of removing all adobe products and then resinstalling them. Still it is doing weird stuff.
I have two folders of jpegs open. One I can drag into PS and they open find. I can also use the open dialog box and it works great. LR will open anything into PS. Except thsi one folder. It will not recognize any files in this folder. I get the message
Could not complete your request because of a program error.
I understand that the techs at Adobe don't care about a set of software that is a couple of cycles back and rarely take the time to look at any concerns with it, as my questions on this forum are rarely resolved and I get help on other sites much quicker, but I am wondering if any PS users out there have encoutnered this kind of ridiculous behavior that seems at the least improbably if not impossible to explain.
XP pro on a self built intel motherboard with P4 processor
(lots of plugins - NIK, OnONe etc)

Thank you for your response Noel. I was under the impression that there were admin that were actual Adobe employees present. My mistake.
These files will open in any number of other programs - Windows file viewer, Nero, etc.
There were exported via lightroom and saved as SRGB jpegs to be uploaded onto a webserver. I don't use camera raw (via PS or Bridge) all that often, and never with these particular files.

VERY strange behavior - HELP!

I don't know if anyone can help, but I have had some VERY strange Powerbook this afternoon while doing some Word processing. I was doing a quick search on the internet, when web pages would not load and applications became EXTREMELY SLOW. It was almost as if I had lost my internet connection, but everything was fully connected and fine. Anything action that I took brought up the spinning pinwheel of death. After force quitting all of my apps. and trying to restart, I continued to get the spinning wheel. After leaving the PB for nearly five minutes, the wheel was still spinning and restart did not happen.
I finally held down the power button until it shut down. After restart, I repaired permissions and received the following, which I thought was strange:
Disk Utility started.
Repairing permissions for Macintosh HD
Determining correct file permissions.
parent directory ./Users/Shared/SC Info does not exist
We are using special permissions for the file or directory ./Library/Widgets. New permissions are 16877
Permissions differ on ./private/var/log/secure.log, should be -rw------- , they are -rw-r-----
Owner and group corrected on ./private/var/log/secure.log
Permissions corrected on ./private/var/log/secure.log
We are using special permissions for the file or directory ./usr/lib/php/build/acinclude.m4. New permissions are 33060
I understand the "special permissions" is due to the latest security update, but the secure.log concerns me. Any ideas?
Here is part of the system log as well. Any help would be much appreciated. Based on the sys.log towards the bottom, it almost looks as if there was some kind of attempted security breech on the system?
Thanks,
Joe B

Strange behavior when shutting down - only works once

Hi there,
I'm taking advice from around the forum to create a shutdown button for my VI. When the user sends the shutdown command, the loop stops all processes running and turns off all heaters. Then when this is complete it passes a shutdown variable to all loops allowing them to close. This seems to work perfectly once, but when I hit run again and test it again, it fails. If I abort the VI and restart again, the shutdown works. I can't quite figure out what the behavior is doing here.
Attached is my program, it's a little messy but everything works, and it has to be added to by someone who isn't me, so I tried to keep everything clear and seperate. If anyone's got any ideas as to what is causing this strange behavior I'd love to hear it.
Thanks,
Chris.

First of all, your event loop should look something more like this. Otherwise you won't exit the loop until another event comes through.
Secondly, I think you are writing to the wrong control here (this is in your timed loop). I have no clue what is in the subVI, but I don't think it should be looking at the Shutdown PB control. That control should be in it's event case. But here you are trying to cause the shutdown event, but you are writing to the wrong control.

Firefox won't open on some managed machines

Hello,
We've been using Safari on our school's managed Macs. I have downloaded Firefox on 96 Science MacBooks since they use a program that works better with Firefox. I have given the computer workgroup permission to open Firefox, but it won't open on about half of the laptops. The dock icon bounces once, but then stops. Any solutions? Thanks!

We have this same problem at one of our schools: Local Admin account can launch FireFox, and browse to his heart's content, network managed clients get a blank page. Randy's process did not fix it, however did carry the preferences over.
FireFox 3 STILL opens with a blank page for a managed user. When attempting to type a URL into the address bar then hitting enter or clicking the arrow to go to that URL, the browser does nothing. Literally, it doesn't even try to load a page.
I've posted at the Mozilla forums as well, but no one seems to be getting anywhere there, either.
http://support.mozilla.com/tiki-viewforum_thread.php?forumId=1&commentsparentId=101655
The odd thing is, at our Middle School and High School, we use Active Directory AND Open Directory with Workgroup Managed Clients, and this is not an issue.

Suddenly today some entries on my pc icloud calendar can't be accessed/edited - they just won't open. Some work, others don't. (All OK if l try to do it on iphone/ipad) All worked fine till today

I find today when I open my icloud calendar on my PC that I cannot access/edit some of the entries - some are fine, others just won't open. If I click on them, they open a 'new entry' box, but will not give me access to the original entry.
If I go to my iphone or ipad, I can access them all fine.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled icloud on my PC, but still the same thing happens.
Is anyone else experiencing similar problems?

All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

Just installed the new LR upgrade from cloud but won't open only flashes, any ideas?

Just installed the new LR upgrade from the cloud and it will not open, only shows flash for nano second, any thoughts?

SOLUTION FOUND:
Click on your CC icon.
Click on the gear icon.
Click on Preferences.
Sign out of CC.
Sign back in.
Don't click on "Quit."
I had been QUITTING CC and relaunching. Try signing out.

Lightroom can't find file - very strange behavior

I really do like working with Lightroom (2.4), even though it has several annoying characteristics (including its speed relative to Lightroom 1). But I haven't encountered anything that is as strange as this:
I sometimes will open a collection intending to select an image in order to print it, or edit it, and the intended image bears a banner announcing that "The file named "[name of image/file]" is offline or missing." I right click on the image and select "Show in Finder" and I get an alert box that says, "The photo '[name of file]' could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" Below that it says, "Previous location: ..."
("Previous location:" is followed by the original path to the file.)
Up to this point, what I have described is no different than a missing file problem described here by other users. I hope the rest of this isn't too confusing; please bear with me.
If I click the "Locate" button in that alert box, I am taken to a folder somewhere in the middle of the hierarchy described in "Previous location." If I do a search for the named file (via my iMac's file search function), I find that the actual file is in the folder shown at the end of the folder hierarchy, exactly where Lightroom says it last found it. But Lightroom won't take me all the way there.
On closer inspection, I see that the folder (as shown in "Previous location" not the actual folder) that FOLLOWS the folder to which "Locate" takes me (this is an actual example from today) is called "desktop 12:09" -- but no such name could have been used, colons not being permitted in file names. I follow the path shown in the alert box as I navigate through the actual folders. When I get to the folder one level up from "desktop 12:09" (that is, the folder to which "Locate" will take me - and yes, I could have started there, but chose to follow the entire path for purely academic reasons), I see that there is a folder called "desktop 12/9". Inside that folder is the next folder shown in the hierarchy previously referred to.
Further down in the hierarchy there are two more folders with colons rather than slashes in their names, but of course the actual folders are named with slashes. Lightroom appears to have substituted the colons for the slashes, for some reason (or lack of reason) and now can't find the file.
I did navigate down (through Lightroom) to find the original, but had to copy the path into a text editor so I could follow it. Alas, this particular file was located many layers down. Other images that have been lost track of by Lightroom (also colons in the folder names) luckily were closer to the surface.
I do regular computer maintenance, Lightroom backups, catalog integrity checks, etc. Does this make any sense at all to anyone? I can't figure where Lightroom would have gotten those colons.
I'd love to figure this out, not just for my own curiosity, but because the process of locating the files via Lightroom is quite time consuming.
Thanks.
Leonard
p.s.: I am using an iMac (1.9 GHz G5 processor), OS X (10.4.11), 2.5 G RAM
[Screen name, lkajsdt, created by randomly pressing keys. The registration system would not accept any sensible pseudonym I tried.]

Thanks, John,
I had a suspicion that the slashes might somehow be implicated, but all of the other folders in the hierarchy (as shown in Lightroom's alert box) that have dates in their names have slashes which were not somehow converted to colons (I do not use colons, nor will the Mac allow me to use them; this was all LR's doing). When actually navigating down to the file via Lightroom, not the Finder, the offending folder(s) appear with slashes, not colons -- exactly as they appear in the Finder. Where Lightroom gets the colons, I don't know, especially since they do not appear when I am navigating through the path VIA Lightroom.
I'll work with it again later. I just caught your message on my way out the door. Thanks again for your thoughts.

CS3 Pro 8.1 won't open

I installed the CS3 pkg with Acrobat Pro 8.1. Whenever I try to open a pdf a box pops up and says Pro 8.1 can't open without another CS3 module open. When I open one it still gives me the same pop up. Now I can't open any pdf's on the web. I loaded Reader 8.0 but it only works if I save the pdf first - which I don't always have that option. Also, I can't uninstall Pro without uninstalling the entire CS3. I had the full Acrobat 7.0 but when I try to reinstall it I get a popup that says I have a newer version so it will terminate my installation. HELP PLEASE!!!!!

I'm having the same issue too - brand new laptop!
Did you guys ever get anywhere with fixing this?
I have a strange problem where the time is wrong for the region that I'm in. It's an hour out and I have checked within the clock in the corner and everything is definitely set up correctly so I can only assume that the issue is related.

I have CS3 Photoshop and it won't open my Nikon camera raw files.

I checked the RAW version in Photoshop and it is 4.0, why won't my files open?

And what camera? Support for specific cameras is tied to specific versions of ACR. An old version of ACR will never open Raw files from a contemporary camera. Refer to this:
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications

Very strange behavior when on charge.

When on charge at night my 5s opens and plays random Utube videos from time to time. Last night as we were laying in bed just about to go to sleep we heard my phone clicking, it turns out it wrote a short text message to someone on my contact list, its nothing to do with siri as we were both silent and about to go to sleep when it happened. Has anyone else heard of this.

I had this very same problem when i did the switch. The thing was that there where two tools providing this functionality. The gnome power tool thing and some acpi feature started with systemd.
Try disabling one of them.

DriverManager.getConnection() : very strange behavior

I am currently developping a SWING application generated with NetBeans 6.1 which connects to either a MySQL DB or a PostgresSQL DB, both hosted by a Linux server.
The application runs just FINE on Solaris/SPARC, Solaris/x86 and Linux/x86.
The problems come with Windows/x86 : the call to DriverManager.getConnection() just stalls, no error, no timeout, no exception.
After investigating a little bit more I found some "funny" behaviors that I submit here for comments:
The drivers loaded since the main() function using:
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver");
The application gets connected to the DB with the following connection code :
try {
DriverManager.getConnection( "jdbc:mysql://192.168.2.3:3306/ZEDB", "user", "pwd" );
DriverManager.getConnection( "jdbc:postgresql://192.168.2.3:5432/ZEDB", "user", "pwd" );
catch (Exception x) { [...] }
And the results are (tried with JDK 5u16 and JDK 6u7)
- On Windows :
-> OK in a console Application
-> OK in a Swing/AWT Application if the connection code is in the main function
-> NOK in a Swing/AWT Application if the connection code is placed anywhere within a SWING Form AND server is remote,
-> Last case if OK if server is "localhost" (tested only with MySQL -for Windows- however ).
- On Linux or Solaris : OK on any case
Any idea ?

Dom- wrote:
I made at first the same assumption as you did.
But when I put the "connecting code" into the static main() function - without changing anything else - then it worked. So I can't believe that it is due to any Windows firewalling rules as the rest doesn't change when the code changes place.When it is impossible then it means your assumptions are wrong.
Hard to say what your assumptions are in this case. But some possibilities. There can be countless others.
1. You are not running the code that you think you are.
2. It is not blocking where you think it is.
And I obviously need to run that connecting code within Swing forms as it is the user who decides which DB to use and what the credentials are...
I can understand that I have a fundamental design issue. But going again through the whole wizard of Netbeans with a very basic Swing application, I step already on this misbehavior: OK from "static main()", NOK from "App.startup()".Note that myself I didn't say you had a design issue. I don't do GUIs so I certainly don't know how to do them correctly. But I do know that if you have blocking code and you are not careful then it will block the GUI and make it non-responsive to the user.

Bridge (2.1.1.9) in CS3 10.0.1 won't open psd file in Camera Raw

Why is File/"Open In Camera Raw" greyed out when I try to open a psd file in Bridge? It will open a jpeg file in Camera Raw. Thanks

As far as I know it is not an option to open PSDs in ACR.
It has to be JPEG or TIFF. (Or raw of course!)

Very strange behavior of user ice_service

Hallo Gurus!
When i upload some files in /documents/MyFolder repository property ModifiedBy is equal my account name.
But the day after all my uploaded files are modified by ice_service.
After this i cannot open files by anonymous user, because all links look like "/irj/servlet/prt/prtroot/..." (instead of "/irj/go/km/docs/...").
Why ice_service every day, in same time modify my files and how to block this change?

Hello,
the user "ice_service" is used for the Content Exchange feature of the portal.
For more informations please check the following site --> Content Exchange (SAP Library)
So please check in your portal if there are any daily content exchange jobs are planned (Content Management -> Content Exchange).
Hope it helps.

Very strange behavior with to_date and format 'yddd' after 31/12/2009

Hi, I have the following PL/SQL code which retrieve a date from a production batch code as fallow:
DECLARE
dtmDateFabric DATE;
BEGIN
-- on teste si l'on peut reconstituer la date fabric à partir du code lot
dtmDateFabric := TO_DATE ('9348', 'yddd');
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ('dtmdatefabric ' || dtmDateFabric);
END;
batch code is constitued like this: YDDD year of production and day number in year.
This code was perfectly working before 2010 and it used to return December 14, 2009.
And now the same code returns December 14, 2019.
And I can't use 'rddd' as format.
Any idea to resolve this issue ?
Thank's for help.
Olivier

It's not strange at all, we are in 2010 now, so if don't specify the decade, century and millennium it takes the current: 2 (millennium) 0(century) 1(decade) and your year becomes 2019...
You have to add a byte to your year format to specify the decade:
SQL> DECLARE
2 dtmDateFabric DATE;
3 BEGIN
4 -- on teste si l'on peut reconstituer la date fabric à partir du code lot
5 dtmDateFabric := TO_DATE ('09348', 'yyddd');
6 DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ('dtmdatefabric ' || dtmDateFabric);
7 END;
8 /
dtmdatefabric 14-12-2009 00:00:00
Procedura PL/SQL completata correttamente.And you'll be ok untill 2099...

VERY strange behavior-- desktop and dock are not working

Hi all,
My friends' macbook is really messed up and she doesn't have applecare. She is running 10.4.11 and suddenly her desktop stopped responding, and her dock disappeared. Specifically, her desktop is plain blue, and her folder icons are there but they can't be clicked on at all. The dock is missing but the menu on the top is fine. She can open up the finder and navigate to everything via the "go" menu and open everything-- all apps work etc.
I tried going into the dock part of system preferences, and then system prefs crashes. I tried opening the activity monitor and quitting the "finder" process and that didn't help. The dock process doesn't show up at all.
I also tried resetting the PRAM, repairing disk permissions, and booting in single-user mode and running fsck -y. Fsck -y gets stuck on "repairing B-Tree" and then says it can't repair the hard drive.
So I put in her install DVD and tried to run disk utility from there. "Checking B-Tree" showed up in green for a while, and then I got a red error message that the HD could not be repaired.
Now it doesn't boot at all (grey screen, and then it shuts down-- even in safe mode) AND when I try to run the install DVD, the HD doesn't show up as a destination folder. Yikes!
Any advice on what I can try next so she doesn't have to take her computer into apple? She has everything backed up, at least!

Hmmmm, if the drive isn't showing up it may be dead or dying, but Unfortunately, Disk Utility can't fix all that much, Your best bet is DiskWarrior, you need the CD though.
