PS is crashing whilst printing - how to save prefs

How do I export and import preferences? I need to trash them often because PS is crashing when I try and print.
Suport only gave me this instruction and couldn;t figure out a solution - just trash my prefs.
John

Next time you trash your preferences and need to recreate them, record an action while you re-set everything to your liking and save that action. That way, the next time you need to do it again, a single click will do it for you as you replay that action and watch everything being reset for you.
There are a bunch of different preference files in various locations, e.g. in CS6:

Obviously you need to troubleshoot your system to find out why your preferences get corrupted so often: disk errors, bad RAM, bad OS install, software conflicts, etc.

Computer Crashed...How To Save Files?

My computer crashed last week. I lost all my files. So basically I wanted to find out if there is a way I could connect my ipod to itunes and get all my files back on itunes, if that makes any sense?

The easiest way will be to search VersionTracker for "iPod". You'll find a number of utilities that can transfer your tracks and your playlists from your iPod back to your PC.
It's also possible to do this manually, but the procedure is rather involved. If you're interested, though, see this thread:
MacMuse: Computer crashed
Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Discussions page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic before you post a question.

Hello Dorin and thank you for your answer.
Yes page 5 is a double page spread and this is not the only one in my book! I will modify the page 5 to see if the error message will appear at the next double page spread....

How to save landscape print layout for report designed in SQL Server 2005

How to save page setup for a report wich was designed in SQL Server 2005 RS? Each time report is previewed, I have to change portrate to landscape orientation and left and right marging from 0,5 to 0,25, to be able to see all fieldas on the report.

Hi, Marina;
Which version of Crystal Reports are you using? Once you set a report to Landscape, and save the report, it should stay that way, unless you change to a different printer.

How to save the print configuration

Hello, in my business, employees need to print multiple documents per day.
But for these specific documents, they need to print with a size of 105%.
My question is how to save the print configuration because they need to remplace the size by 105% every time ...
Please help me
(Sorry for my bad english, i'm french)

it was here : http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=684187301.jpg
this screen appear after i press File -> print
and i need to put 105% every time i want to print document, how to save this ?
edit : this is not in the printer configuration

Need to know how to save printed image settings

Photo printing setups; when printing a picture you have to make the following settings;
(1) Select printer.
(2) Printer Settings.
(3) Select paper size.
(4) Select Type of Prints.
(5) Select print size.
After doing this printing a draft copy or coming back a few day later wanting another copy printed.
You go to edit load the file for picture to print, select create and you have to redefine the print all over again, this even after printing a draft copy and its OK and want to print 10 copies, you have to go back to Create and completely reset up to duplicate the draft picture you just printed.
When save an edited and formatted picture all that is saved is the edited and format digital image file.
I may want to print the image different sizes, on different types of paper, but Photo Shop doesn’t allow save the printed image files setup perimeter’s and tying the different print image setup to image file.
So I have to maintain a file folder Excel files that list all the setup parameter’s need to print that uses this the image file as is primary image.
Have I missed a Photo Shop function, that does this?

I thank everyone for the inputs, most if not all has been helpful. If for no other reason than I am not used to this type photo printing. When most printing I did over my career has been mostly l technical drawings and there most if not all, were black and white and if you got the size printed right it was fine and nobody noticed. But, now that I have retired I have more problems than before as I am now working more in not just color, but Photo graphs. Then of course there is the ten years of technology I messed. How I wish for the days when a program didn’t do what you wanted it too, you write your own code to add the function. But, now security walls and the complexity of programs today you need a team of 10 programmers’ to do that.
But, this not being able to sale the values of that print size, let alone color/shading, type paper, manufacture of paper and last but not lest printer and even its model. All of those effect color/shading of a print. Just to day I have learned that the Application Program, OS driver and the printer can have color correction processingbuilt-n. It’s no wonder what is on the screen doesn’t match what is printed. And most of these color “correction” routines can't be enabled and disabled. It is no wonder printing for one computer running the same Application and printing to two printers on that computer the prints are totally different. At least now I know about them and know that every time I print the same image file I am go to have start all over and work up all new printing parameters. Use to be editing and formatting the image was 80% of the work, now it 20% of the work and printing is 80% of the work.

Did you apply the security update to this Mac & not the others? If you did, check Software Update again. Apple has released an updated security update. This has fixed the problems caused by the first version.

Figured out how to print to 11x17 with Acrobat (but how to save or do this in Preview?)!

after about a year and a half of doing the digital equivalent of walking into a very large building that is totally blacked out - and bumping around endlessly until i found a light swich - i am not able to print to 11x17 out of Acrobat on the Mac.
i have posted the steps below and when i recover from this herculean taks i am going to try and tackle printing to 12 x 18.
i just took another look at PREVIEW and i am afraid that it is going to take me another year and a half to figure out Preview and/or Numbers etcetera - so if anyone has any tips on printing to 11x17 or 12x18 in these two programs i would be uber happy to get the instructions for this.
also, if has ANY IDEAS on how to save this set of preferences so that i can simply print to 11x17 without going through all of these steps each time it would be great. i have not figured out how to save the presets and it is going to make me unhappy especially when i have to print 20 pages at a time.
thanks!

here's documentation on getting 12 x 18 plots out of this machine.
LET ME KNOW IF YOU FIGURE OUT HOW TO SAVE THESE TO A PRESET.
thanks...

My latest challenge was typing in melodies and chords of songs I'd written on the piano. But using the Musical Typing in register C3 I inserted all the notes by playing on the imac keyboard (and written in the treble clef). The only problem is you cant insert the chords at the same time. Now I have an empty bass clef, which requires chords be inserted in register C2 and I dont know yet how to do that.
To fill in the chords: Join a melody track and a bass track, like this:
- Create a new software track and record the chords separately with musical typing.
- Create a new track and copy your melody loops there (just as backup, if something goes wrong)
- Do the same with the track containing the chords.
- Then select all loops in the copies of the melody track and the copy of the chords track and select from the main menu
Edit -> Join.
Now you should have a track that contains the bass as well as the melody and both staffs should be filled in the track editor, so you can print both at the same time.
However, there will be some notes assigned to the wrong staff - very low melody notes will appear in the bass cleff, very high chord notes will appear in the melody cleff - and I don't see how you could fix that in GB.
Good luck

I need to erase the contents of my phone and restore to factory settings. Does anybody know how to save your texts so you don't lose them? Can I back those up to iCloud? My phone was very likely hacked (Apple's advice was to call the police!)

"I need to erase the contents of my phone and restore to factory settings. Does anybody know how to save your texts so you don't lose them? Can I back those up to iCloud? My phone was very likely hacked (Apple's advice was to call the police!)"
That was all I could put in the initial "box." Then it brought me to this page with instructions on how to write a good sentence.
Proceeding ...
After going back and forth between Apple, AT&T and the police (all telling me to go to the other two) I took AT&Ts suggestion and got a new number. One tech warned against doing a backup, especially on my Mac, saying if my phone had been hacked then whatever bug was there would then invade my computer. But nobody knows how to determine if the phone has been hacked or a virus was planted there. Unfortunately I know who would have reason to do such a thing and all I can say is that he is at the top technologically and could easily do it. Almost impossible to prove, however.
So I need to preserve my text messages and my emails as well. I backed up my photos to that Microsoft product (One-Drive) and it froze (Surprise, Surprise) with four short videos to go, and no way of stopping that (when I tried it crashed repeatedly) so I'm in crisis mode here.
Help ...
Running 8.0 on 5S
Thanks!

Betty I don't know if you fixed your hacking problem but I feel your pain. I've seen some strange things going on between my iMac and my iPhone and Apple has told me the same thing, call the police which I have done. The hackers have stole 500.00 out of my checking account have access to every internet account I use and no matter how often I change the password their right back on the account. I closed my FB account 3 times only to have someone reopen it. Right now I've got a link in my reading list (Safari) that if I click on it, it allows me to log onto my FB account anonymously.
I've seen a green folder come out of no where while I was trying to delete my passwords out of keychain when that green folder was put into the key chain I was immediately locked out. I than went into system preferences to try to make changes to my security settings, when I clicked on the icon it wouldn't open. I've seen log files of automator receiving commands and sending out my personal information thats on my computer.
I have a legitamate program called iExplorer that allows you to look at the contents of your iPhone back ups and saw a transaction someone made at the Apple store for some full length movies, some albums, ibooks and other apps but when I called the iTunes store and they said none of those items were showing up on my account. If their not on my account how can they be on my iPhone 6? One day someone was using my gmail account and unknowingly used google maps to search for an Italian restaurant, than a Mexican restaurant than a coffee shop and their search showed up on my iPhone but I didn't have my gmail account installed on my iPhone 6. Using my computer I logged onto my gmail account and looked at the maps history and sure enough there were the searches when I'd hover my curser over the link it gave me the longitude and latitude of the where the hacker was when he was using google maps. I know whoever reads this thinks Im crazy but I've documented everything and can prove the things that I have mentioned in this post actually happened.
One day I had my laptop (pc) and my iMac next to each other as I was using both. when I clicked on airport it showed that my laptop and my iMac had made a connection and were actually communicating with each other. I know I didn't do it I don't know how. The iMac was logged into my iCloud account while my laptop wasn't. I have formatted my iPhone at least a dozen times, Apple and an Apple retailer have formatted my hard drive not to mention the numerous times I have formatted it but the hackers keep getting on my devices. Im formatting my lap top at this very second because during the course of the night I left the ethernet cable plugged into it and they locked me out of my c: drive, and configured the system so I can't download any updates from Microsoft, overtime I type in www.microsoft.com it changes to ww38.microsoft.com which takes me to a blank page. I right clicked on the page I was redirected to and read the java script and couldn't believe that someone had actually configured Internet Explorer to redirect me to a blank page when I tried to go to Microsoft. Apples answer to all this is there was nothing wrong with my iPhone or my iMac and if I thought there was a problem to call the police which I have done.
Theres no doubt the hackers are reading this while I type it or will read it and I simply don't care anymore. I no longer email anyone, don't use my iCloud account and have taken precautions to protect my credit but if I ever find out who has invaded my privacy to this extreme the police are going to want to talk to me because Im going to hurt them like they've never been hurt before

HAVING PROBLEMS WITH OS 10.6.8 PRINTING WITH XEROX PHASER. MacPro crashes when printer warms up. Does anyone have a solution? 6360 DN

I've been using Macs since 1984. Have been using Xerox Phaser printers for ten years. But with the last update to OS 10.6.8 last summer, I've had problems with crashing when printing. My MacPro crashes when printing via ethernet prot with Xerox Phaser 6360DN or when the printer warms up. Worked fine with OS 10.6.7. Internet postings suggest this is a common problem for all Mac users with Xerox Phaser printers. Apple put out an update to 10.6.8 to address the problem. I downloaded it but it did not solve the problem. Have tried all the Xerox drivers along with Apple drivers. Can't solve the problem. Xerox says it's an Apple problem. Does anyone KNOW how to solve the problem?

I want to use Get Panel Image in Labview 5.0.1 and need details on how to save the BMP data generated

I am trying to generate an application that saves a copy of its front panel on completion. This is easy to do using an invoke node with Print VI to HTML but this does not work in an .exe format. I have seen elsewhere that you have to use the Get Panel Image method, but no details are supplied in LV 5.0.1 documentation of how to use the "image" data (1-D Unsigned Byte array) that is generated. I want to save this in a format that can then be read as a bitmap in any standard graphics package. Any assistance?

Hi,
If you'd upgrade to LV5.1 or 6 you could use the 'standard' vi's for this.
You need a VI called "Write BMP File.vi". It's not shipped with LV5.0.1.
This vi only uses 3 subVI's, so perhaps someone at NI can convert it and
send it to you (sorry, I won't, it's copywrited).
If you cannot get this VI anywhere, you'll need to figure out the BMP file
format yourself. It's not too complicated, but still could take some days.
Perhaps someone figured it out before LV5.1 was released.
Regards,
Wiebe.

Hi,
Yes, you need store data to table, and fetch it when page is opened.
Simple way is create table with few columns and e.g. with CLOB column and then create form based on that table.
Then modify item types as you like, e.g. use HTML editor for CLOB column
