PSE 10 annoying prompts

I'm looking to 're-involve' myself with Photoshop by buying either PSE 9 or 10.
Have PSE 4 as well as older versions of the full Photoshop (5.5, 7, & CS2).
Am tired of the bulk of the full version so am trying to 'slim down'. Have an older MacBook Pro
and it is a bit slow.
The prob is I've downloaded the free trial of PSE 10 and am annoyed by all the 'nag' screens
and having to, log-in each time, as it is loading. Does this annoying behavior still occur
after obtaining the reg #? Does PSE 9 also have these annoying prompts?
Thanx,
Gene

PSE 10 organizer now displays SAMSUNG CAMERA PICTURES as the title for every imported image. This is very annoying. How to I prevent PSE from assigning this attribute to the title metadata upon import? I have thousands of photos, and going through each one to delete the title isn't really an option. Has anyone encountered this type of behavoir?
Windows 7 pro, if that matters.
Thanks,

It's an old behaviour from some camera manufacturers (also Olympus...) which write their brand name in the exif field reserved to captions:

5800 and annoying prompts

I've had a look around, but is there any way to get those annoying connection prompts to stop popping up in internet-enabled apps?
All I want is for my phone to use WiFi when available, and whatever O2 connection (HSDPA, 3G, Edge, GPRS) is available when WiFi isn't. I don't want the phone to ask me anything... just do it.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks, but that is exactly how my phone is set up already. This works for most apps, but there are some apps that don't have an option to let you set the default connection - ie the ovi store. I was hoping for some kind of global prompt option, as I would also like to turn off those prompts that ask me if I want to allow connection to the network.
As an aside, is there a way to set the keyboard to full qwerty across the entire phone? Some apps don't remember my keyboard preferences when I change them and it's annoying to have to change them all the time.

How can I get rid of the annoying prompt to save a password that comes up every time I log in somewhere?

Every time I log into anything, I get a prompt in a box in the upper portion of the screen asking if I'd like to remember the password. I don't want any passwords remembered. How can I prevent the "Save password" prompt from popping up?

As of the current version, I don't believe there is a way to tell the App Store app to ignore updates. You can send Apple feedback at http://www.apple.com/feedback/, but in short there is nothing you can do. As long as you don't try to update the app (either pressing the update button or update all), the app should continue to work fine with your data remaining intact. It has been a while since I've tried to update an app that isn't supported (last time was under iOS 3 or 4), so I can't comment about what would happen if you did try to update it. (My best guess is it will display an alert saying it is not compatible, and leave the previous version there, but not take away the 'update' in the APp Store app updates page).

How do I get rid of the floating black prompt over my "screen saver" about airplay

I have 5 apple tvs and when the screen saver comes on after a minute or 2 an annoying prompt comes up covering part of the pictures on the screen saver prompting me on the use of airplay. I want it "THE PROMPT" to go away and not come back any other day! I own apple2s and apple3s This interfers with the pictures on the screen saver

Thank you so much for posting this question! That thing has been driving me nuts for months!
Problem resolved!

I keep getting Keychain prompt when running an app, how to I get rid of it?

I keep getting this prompt running Steam Game PinballArcade with Mac OSX Maverick and I click Always Allow, I navigate in the games menu and keeps prompting for this, driving me nuts!
PinballArcadeSteam wants to use your confidential information stored in "com.farsightstudios.osx.pinballarcadesteam" in your keychain. Do you want to allow access to this item? "Always Allow" "Deny" "Allow"
Clicking Always Allow it still brings up this prompt... please help me provide a workaround as I'm not getting anywhere with the steam/pinballarcade community support.

I finally resolved on my own... this is what I had to do.
1. Keychain Access (use spotlight on right to search for it)
2. Under "Category" select "Passwords"
3. You will notice about 6 entries "com.farsight...pinballarcadesteam", doublce click each one and change the following: "Allow all applications to access this item" and save changes for all of them.
4. Launch game and no more annoying prompts!

Security prompt

so we're trying to run a .bat file across the network and we get the annoying prompt, "we can not verify the file. Do you still want to run this file"
we do this from the dfsn path \\domain.local\share\share
using policy I add file://*.domain.local to my intranet zone
did not change anything
however if I right click and run as administrator it does not prompt. However most our users are not admins.
Note: UNC is also set to never.
Now I know that it is not best practice to disable this prompt but real world is that 100% of the time users say "open" anyway and it is only done from the Intranet zone.
Is there a group policy to turn off this security warning prompt? I gets lots of complains.
Thanks

> we do this from the dfsn path \\domain.local\share\share
> using policy I add file://*.domain.local to my intranet zone
You need to add "domain.local" :) The "*.domain.local" denotes that
there HAS to be a host part in front of the domain name, wich for DFSN
is not the case.
And make sure the file doesn't have an alternate data stream that
identifies it as "Internet"...

How do I stop the "Reset Firefox" prompt appearing when there is no need for it?

Every time I start Firefox I now get the reset firefox prompt in the status bar:
"It looks like you haven't started Firefox in a while. Do you want to clean it up .... etc."
I use Firefox practically every day, so it is not true that I haven't used it in a while. After a bit of research, I read that Firefox may display this prompt if it has diagnosed other problems, particularly with add-ons. I haven't noticed any problems in my normal use, and I don't think that it is reasonable to expect me to wipe all my installed add-ons and then re-install and re-configure them again just to make this annoying prompt go away, when it is not giving me any details about the so-called "problem".
Is there any way of getting Firefox to tell me what it thinks the problem is so that I can try to fix it? Failing that, can this prompt be disabled completely?

I have repeated the test with nightly, but this time created the new profile on a local filesystem (ext4 FWIW) rather than an NFS-mounted one. As before the timestamp on .parentlock is not updated when firefox exits, so almost certainly a bug. If there is a problem with permissions/ownership, that problem is created by firefox, so still a bug :-) (given that the profile is a brand new one).
I'll report this on bugzilla as soon as I can.

Why Icloud password prompt when it is already correct

I was told reset my password for security reason with Apple, so I went ti iforgot.apple.com and changed my password through the usual reseting your password screens on the apple website.
Since the change, everytime I refresh my emails, I am being prompted with a message from my icloud account saying "Cannot Get Mail the user name or password for "icloud" is incorrect" But the truth is the details in my settings are correct and I have put the new password in along with the correct appleid which I haven't had to change anyway because it was only the password I have to update, I have even tried this with my old password just in case these my apple id account is not in sync with my icloud account.
I am forever being prompted and would like some assistance as to how I can resolve this, for the time being I have disabled icloud mail to avoid getting this annoying prompt.
Please help.

Thanks, but that was one of the first things I did, I deleted the account on my iphone and then added the account back after.
Thanks for the suggestion though.

Server failed, now get repeated prompts when iMovie starts

I had some events on a server that has failed and it's not coming back.
In iMovie '11 9.0.8 (1778) I get 17 prompts of There was a problem connecting to the server "server". each time I start iMovie. I do not get this in any other apps. Server is no longer in my Cmd+K list or anywhere else that I can find.
In the Event Library when I show the drives there is one on the bottom called "Untitled" that has a bang (exclamation mark) on it. I assume this used to be the Server. How do I get rid of this and get rid of these annoying prompts?
Thanks,

Well if you change the password on your computer, did you also make the changes on your iphone in your email settings?

IFolder keeps prompting upgrade after OES2 SP3

Hi everyone,
After applying OES2 SP3 our iFolder server keeps prompting upgrade on
Windows XP clients. It suggests upgrading to 3.8.0.4 but when you let it
run, it shows windows installer options install and uninstall, there is
a space where the upgrade button should be. Neither option works.
I've also downloaded from the web server page the ifolder client, but
doesn't seem to be that version number.
Is there any way to disable the annoying prompt?
Thanks,
Miguel.

Section 6.12 of the iFolder 3.8.4 Admin Guide lists a way to disable the upgrade prompt.
Edit the unix-version.config, mac-version.config, and/or version.config (aka windows-version.config) files located in either /opt/novell/ifolder3/lib/simias/web/update or /opt/novell/ifolder3/lib64/simias/web/update.
Replace the <version> </version> section of the .config files with the level of client your users already have. Then they should not be prompted to upgrade.

My iPod Touch can no longer download Podcast Videos after upgrading to iOS4

After upgrading OS 3.1.3 to iOS4, My iPod Touch (2nd Generation) can no longer download such video podcasts as NBC News, CBS News, ABC News and Cranky Geeks from iTunes store. The moment the download starts, there is always an annoying prompt "this video cannot be played on this iPod".
It's really frustrating!!!

Same thing happening to mine also, still cant find a reason.

How To Make mozilla.cfg, override.ini, all-companyname.js, Files To Work Once And For All For All Users

I'm currently trying to apply a fix to the firefox browser (version 23.0.1) on over 250 computers. Setting default webpages, disabling annoying prompts like the default browser and importing bookmarks, and erasing the history on shutdown, or startup. This is very easily done modifying the pref.js file, but I will not edit that file, it's out of the question. Another FF update will erase or overwrite all of my modifications.
I run a computer lab in the university that is locked down using a Net Support School console. You don't need to look that up. Basically all websites are restricted except the ones the ones I whitelist. The websites we use have extensive API's for JS, CSS, Java, PHP, etc... We utilize technology in order for students to use graphing calculators, video's, and taking module test from these white-listed websites, like Pearson, or Aleks. Now with that said, cookies, and stored profile history become a problem, and on some day's up to 25% of the students using the computers need their entire history deleted in order for a page to load. I think I fixed this problem permanently by whitelisting backend sites importing plugins, and API's etc, that I found from the developers console. Whatever. What I've learned from all of this is that Firefox can be very customizable utilizing the "...\Mozilla Firefox\mozilla.cfg" and the "...\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\prefs\all-companyname.js" (or custom.js) The problem, is no matter what I try I can't get these to work. The closest I got was here:
http://www.intrntpirate.com/?p=615
Again, even that ^^ didn't work. I followed these directions to a "T". What is wrong with the above information provided in the link? Why is firefox making harder and harder for us to optimize it for massive deployments across a corporation and a university? I'm not going to do any fancy hacks to avoid the main issue. I need mozilla.cfg, and the all-companyname.js, and the override.ini files to work, if and only if they are still relevant.
These are what my files look like so far:
name: all-lmc.js 
location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref\ 
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg"); 
pref("browser.startup.homepage", "https://(some url)"); 
name: override.ini 
location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\ 
[XRE] 
EnableProfileMigrator=false 
 
name: mozilla.cfg 
location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\ 
// 
lockPref("privacy.sanitize.sanitizeOnShutdown", true); 
lockPref("privacy.sanitize.promptOnSanitize", false); 
lockPref("browser.shell.checkDefaultBrowser", false); 
lockPref("toolkit.telemetry.enabled", false); 
lockPref("toolkit.telemetry.prompted", 2); 
lockPref("toolkit.telemetry.rejected", true);
I've tried using, and not using, the automatic mozilla configurator. I've tried changing lockPref to pref. Nothing works. Not the override.ini, not the all-lmc.js, and not the mozilla.cfg. I've wasted hours reading through blogs of experts telling us to modify files that don't exist, or beating around the bush. I'm done researching. If you have the answer or want to help me figure this out just remember to keep it simple. Please. I ultimately want to package all the config files, with a how to, in a zip folder onto our shared drive. To have FF customized and ready to deploy to different departments across campus.

Thanks very much for your help, but I'm still overlooking something. I double checked to make sure that I did not have a hidden .txt file extention. I then decided to abandon the lock on preferences idea until I get it working. I converted my mozilla.cfg file back to plain text. I made sure I do not have an extra blank line at the end of each file. The syntax looks good, as far as I can tell. I'll copy and paste what I have so far. Did I have the file locations correct posted above? Also, if you feel i can delete some lines of text in my mozilla.cfg file I'll be happy to do so.

PSE10 still shows "edit in progress" even when file in CS6 is closed

I have used PSE for years and love the Organiser to store and navigate round my photos. I've considered Lightroom, but have stuck with PSE10.
I've got the trial of CS6 and am considering purchasing. I have a problem though. If I edit in CS6, do my adjustments, save the file then close it, it still shows up as edit in progress in my PSE10 photo well. This happens with whatever photos I edit in CS6. Very annoying as they are then locked. My only option is to close PSE10 where a warning comes up about changes being lost, re open it and all is well.
Why does PSE10 think the photos are still being editied in CS6 even though they have been saved and closed?
Help appreciated

What I have tried is after closing the file in CS6, then opening the file in PSE editor and closing that trying to "trick" the organiser into thinking it has been closed, but no luck.
I have no problem with PSE organiser and PSE editor. As soon as I close the file in the editor it becomes live again in the organiser. This is just with editing in CS6 then closing the file.
After a heavy edit session I will have numerous "edit in progress" messages over my organiser with the only way of clearing to shut down and re open PSE.
Annoying to say the least!
Thanks for your thoughts

EFS Encrypted Files over home workgroup network via WebDAV avoiding Active Directory fixing Access Denied errors

This is for information to help others
KEYWORDS:
- Sharing EFS encrypted files over a personal lan wlan wifi ap network
- Access denied on create new file / new fold on encrypted EFS network file share remote mapped folder
- transfer encryption keys / certificates
- set trusted delegation for user + computer for EFS encrypted files via
Kerberos
- Windows Active Directory vs network file share
- Setting up WinDAV server on Windows 7 Pro / Ultimate
It has been a long painful road to discover this information.
I hope sharing it helps you.
Using EFS on Windows 7 pro / ultimate is easy and works great. See
here and
here
So too is opening + editing encrypted files over a peer-to-peer Windows 7 network.
HOWEVER, creating a new file / new folder over a peer-to-peer Windows 7 network
won't work (unless you follow below steps).
Typically, it is only discovered as an issue when a home user wants to use synchronisation software between their home computers which happens to have a few folders encrypted using windows EFS. I had this issue trying to use GoodSync.
Typically an "Access Denied" error messages is thrown when a \\clientpc tries to create new folder / new file in an encrypted folder on a remote file share \\fileserver.
Why such a EFS drama when a network is involved?
Assume a home peer-to-peer network with 2pc: \\fileserver and \\clientpc
When a \\clientpc tries to create a new file or new folder on a \\fileserver (remote computer) it fails. In a terribly simplified explanation it is because the process on \\fileserver that is answering the network requests is a process working for a user on
another machine (\\clientpc) and that \\fileserver process doesn't have access to an encryption certificate (as it isn't a user). Active Directory gets around this by using kerberos so the process can impersonate a \\fileserver user and then use their certificate
(on behalf of the clienpc's data request).
This behaviour is confusing, as a \\clientpc can open or edit an existing efs encrypted file or folder, just can't create a new file or folder. The reason editing + opening an encrypted file over a network file share is possible is because the encrypted
file / folder already has an encryption certificate, so it is clear which certificate is required to open/edit the file. Creating a new file/folder requires a certificate to be assigned and a process doesn't have a profile or certificates assigned.
Solutions
There are two main approaches to solve this:
 1) SOLVE by setting up an Active Directory (efs files accessed through file shares)
 EFS operations occur on the computer storing the files.
 EFS files are decrypted then transmitted in plaintext to the client's computer
 This makes use of kerberos to impersonate a local user (and use their certificate for encrypt + decrypt)
 2) SOLVE by setting up WebDAV (efs files accessed through web folders)
 EFS operations occur on the client's local computer
 EFS files remain encrypted during transmission to the client's local computer where it is decrypted
 This avoids active directory domains, roaming or remote user profiles and having to be trusted for delegation.
 BUT it is a pain to set up, and most online WebDAV server setup sources are not for home peer-to-peer networks or contain details on how to setup WebDAV for EFS file provision
 READ BELOW as this does
Create new encrypted file / folder on a network file share - via Active Directory
It is easily possible to sort this out on a domain based (corporate) active directory network. It is well documented. See
here. However, the problem is on a normal Windows 7 install (ie home peer-to-peer) to set up the server as part of an active directory domain is complicated, it is time consuming it is bulky, adds burden to operation of \\fileserver computer
and adds network complexity, and is generally a pain for a home user. Don't. Use a WebDAV.
Although this info is NOT for setting up EFS on an active directory domain [server],
for those interested here is the gist:
Use the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in to configure delegation options for both users and computers. To trust a computer for delegation, open the computer’s Properties sheet and select Trusted for delegation. To allow a user
account to be delegated, open the user’s Properties sheet. On the Account tab, under Account Options, clear the The account is sensitive and cannot be delegated check box. Do not select The account is trusted for delegation. This property is not used with
EFS.
NB: decrypted data is transmitted over the network in plaintext so reduce risk by enabling IP Security to use Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP)—which will encrypt transmitted data,
Create new encrypted file / folder on a network file share - via WebDAV
For home users it is possible to make it all work.
Even better, the functionality is built into windows (pro + ultimate) so you don't need any external software and it doesn't cost anything. However, there are a few hotfixes you have to apply to make it work (see below).
Setting up a wifi AP (for those less technical):
 a) START ... CMD
 b) type (no quotes): "netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=MyPersonalWifi key=12345 keyUsage=persistent"
 c) type (no quotes): "netsh wlan start hostednetwork"
Set up a WebDAV server on Windows 7 Pro / Ultimate
-----ON THE FILESERVER------
 1 click START and type "Turn Windows Features On or Off" and open the link
 a) scroll down to "Internet Information Services" and expand it.
 b) put a tick in: "Web Management Tools" \ "IIS Management Console"
 c) put a tick in: "World Wide Web Services" \ "Common HTTP Features" \ "WebDAV Publishing"
 d) put a tick in: "World Wide Web Services" \ "Security" \ "Basic Authentication"
 e) put a tick in: "World Wide Web Services" \ "Security" \ "Windows Authentication"
 f) click ok
 g) run HOTFIX - ONLY if NOT running Windows 7 / windows 8

2 Click START and type "Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager"
3 in IIS, on the left under "connections" click your computer, then click "WebDAV Authoring Rules", then click "Open Feature"
 a) on the right side, under Actions, click "Enable WebDAV"
4 in IIS, on the left under "connections" click your computer, then click "Authentication", then click "Open Feature"
 a) on the "Anonymous Authentication" and click "Disable"
 b) on the "Windows Authentication" and click "Enable"
 NB: Some Win 7 will not connect to a webDAV user using Basic Authentication.
 It can be by changing registry key:
 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\WebClient\Parameters]
 BasicAuthLevel=2
 c) on the "Windows Authentication" click "Advanced Settings"
 set Extended Protection to "Required"
 NB: Extended protection enhances the windows authentication with 2 security mechanisms to reduce "man in the middle" attacks
5 in IIS, on the left under "connections" click your computer, then click "Authorization Rules", then click "Open Feature"
 a) on the right side, under Actions, click "Add Allow Rule"
 b) set this to "all users". This will control who can view the "Default Site" through a web browser
 NB: It is possible to specify a group (eg Administrators is popular) or a user account. However, if not set to "all users" this will require the specified group/user account to be used for logged in with on the
clientpc.
 NB: Any user account specified here has to exist on the server. It has a bug in that it usernames specified here are not validated on input.

HOTFIX - double escaping
7 in IIS, on the left under "connections" click your computer, then click "Request Filtering", then click "Open Feature"
 a) on the right side, under Actions, click "Edit Feature Settings"
 b) tick the box "Allow double escaping"
 *THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT* if your filenames or foldernames contain characters like "+" or "&"
 These folders will appears blank with no subdirectories, or these files will not be readable unless this is ticked
 This is safe btw. Unchecked (default) it filters out requests that might possibly be misinterpreted by buggy code (eg double decode or build url's via string-concat without proper encoding). But any bug would need to be in IIS basic
file serving and this has been rigorously tested by microsoft, so very unlikely. Its safe to "Allow double escaping".
8 in IIS, on the left under "connections" right click "Default Web Site", then click "Add Virtual Directory"
 a) set the Alias to something sensible eg "D_Drive", set the physical path
 b) it is essential you click "connect as" and set
this to a local user (on fileserver),
 if left as "pass through authentication" a client won't be able to create a new file or folder in an encrypted efs folder (on fileserver)
 NB: the user account selected here must have the required EFS certificates installed.
 See
here and
here
 NB: Sharing the root of a drive as an active directory (eg D:\ as "D_Drive") often can't be opened on clientpcs.
 This is due to windows setting all drive roots as hidden "administrative shares". Grrr.
 The work around is on the \\fileserver create an NTFS symbollic link
 e.g. to share the entire contents of "D:\",
 on fileserver browse to site path (iis default this to c:\inetpub\wwwroot)
 in cmd in this folder create an NTFS symbolic link to "D:\"
 so in cmd type "cd c:\inetpub\wwwroot"
 then in cmd type "mklink /D D_Drive D:\"
 NB: WebDAV will open this using a \\fileserver local user account, so double check local NTFS permissions for the local account (clients will login using)
 NB: If clientpc can see files but gets error on opening them, on clientpc click START, type "Manage Network Passwords", delete any "windows credentials" for the fileserver being used, restart
clientpc
9 in IIS, on the left under "connections" click on "WebDAV Authoring Rules", then click "Open Feature"
 a) click "Add authoring rules". Control access to this folder by selecting "all users" or "specified groups" or "specified users", then control whether they can read/write/source
 b) if some exist review existing allow or deny.
 Take care to not only review the "allow access to" settings
 but also review "permissions" (read/write/source)
 NB: this can be set here for all added virtual directories, or can be set under each virtual directory
10 Open your firewall software and/or your router. Make an exception for port 80 and 443
 a) In Windows Firewall with Advanced Security click Inbound Rules, click New Rule
 choose Port, enter "80, 443" (no speech marks), follow through to completion. Repeat for outbound.
 NB: take care over your choice to untick "Public", this can cause issues if no gateway is specified on the network (ie computer-to-computer with no router). See "Other problems+fixes"
below, specifically "Cant find server due to network location"
 b) Repeat firewall exceptions on each client computer you expect to access the webDAV web folders on
HOTFIX - MAJOR ISSUE - fix KB959439
11 To fully understand this read "WebDAV HOTFIX: RAW DATA TRANSFERS" below
 a) On Windows 7 you need only change one tiny registry value:
 - click START, type "regedit", open link
 -browse to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\MRxDAV\Parameters]
 -on the EDIT menu click NEW, then click DWORD Value
 -Type "DisableEFSOnWebDav" to name it (no speech marks)
 -on the EDIT menu, click MODIFY, type 1, then click OK
 -You MUST now restart this computer for the registry change to take effect.
 b) On Windows Server 2008 / Vista / XP you'll FIRST need to
download Windows6.0-KB959439 here. Then do the above step.
 NB microsoft will ask for your email. They don't care about licence key legality, it is more to keep you updated if they modify that hotfix
12 To test on local machine (eg \\fileserver) and deliberately bypass the firewall.
 a) make sure WebClient Service is running
 (click START, type "services" and open, scroll down to WebClient and check its status)
 b) Open your internet software. Go to address "http://localhost:80" or "http://localhost:80"
 It should show the default "IIS7" image.
 If not, as firewall and port blocking are bypassed (using localhost) it must be a webDAV server setting. Check "Authorization Rules" are set to "Allow All Users"
 c) for one of the "virtual directories" you added (8), add its "alias" onto "http://localhost/"
 e.g. http://localhost/D_drive
 If nothing is listed, check "Directory Browsing" is enabled
13 To test on local machine or a networked client and deliberately try and access through the firewall or port opening of your router.
 a) make sure WebClient Service is running
 (click START, type "services" and open, scroll down to WebClient and check its status)
 b) open your internet software. Go to address "http://<computer>:80" or "http://<computer>:80".
 eg if your server's computer name is "fileserver" go to "http://fileserver:80"
 It should show the default "IIS7" image. If not, check firewall and port blocking.
 Any issue ie if (12) works but (13) doesn't, will indicate a possible firewall issue or router port blocking issue.
 c) for one of the "virtual directories" you added (8), add its "alias" onto "http://<computername>:80/"
 eg if alias is "C_driver" and your server's computer name is "fileserver" go to "http://fileserver:80/C_drive"
 A directory listing of files should appear.
--- ON EACH CLIENT ----
HOTFIX - improve upload + download speeds
14 Click START and type "Internet Options" and open the link
 a) click the "Connections" tab at the top
 b) click the "LAN Settings" button at the bottom right
 c) untick "Automatically detect settings"
HOTFIX - remove 50mb file limit
15 On Windows 7 you need only change one tiny registry value:
 a) click START, type "regedit", open link
 b) browse to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\WebClient\Parameters]
 c) click on "FileSizeLimitInBytes"
 d) on the EDIT menu, click MODIFY, type "ffffffff", then click OK (no quotes)
HOTFIX - remove prompt for user+pass on opening an office or pdf document via WebDAV
16 On each clientpc click START, type "Internet Options" and open it
 a) click on "Security" (top) and then "Custom level" (bottom)
 b) scroll right to the bottom and under "User Authentication" select "Automatic logon with current username and password"
 SUCH an easy fix. SUCH an annoying problem on a clientpc
 NB: this is only an issue if the file is opened through windows explorer. If opened through the "open" dialogue of the software itself, it doesn't happen. This is as a WebDAV mapped drive is consdered a "web folder" by windows
explorer.
TEST SETUP
17 On the client use the normal "map network drive"
 e.g. server= "http://fileserver:80/C_drive", tick reconnect at logon
 e.g. CMD: net use * "http://fileserver:80/C_drive"
 If it doens't work check "WebDAV Authoring Rules" and check NTFS permissions for these folders. Check that on the filserver the elected impersonation user that the client is logging in with (clientpc
"manage network passwords") has NTFS permissions.
18 Test that EFS is now working over the network
 a) On a clientpc, map network drive to http://fileserver/
 b) navigate to a folder you know on the \\flieserver is encrypted with EFS
 c) create a new folder, create a new file.
 IF it throws an error, check carefully you mapped to the WebDAV and not file share
 i.e. mapped to "http://fileserver" not "\\fileserver"
 Check that on clientpc the required efs certificate is installed. Then check carefully on clientpc what user account you specified during the map drive process. Then check on the \\fileserver this
account exists and has the required EFS certificate installed for use. If necessary, on clientpc click START, type "Manage Network Passwords" and delete the windows credentials currently in the vault.
 d) on clientpc (through a webDAV mapped folder) open an encrypted file, edit it, save it, close it. On the \\fileserver now check that file is readable and not gobble-de-goup
 e) on clientpc copy an encrypted efs file into a folder (a webDAV mapped folder) you know is not encrypted on \\fileserver. Now check on the \\fileserver computer that the file is readable and not gobble-de-goup (ie the
clientpc decrypted it then copied it).
 If this fails, it is likely one in IIS setting on fileserver one of the shared virtual directories is set to: "pass through authentication" when it should be set to "connect as"
 If this is not readable check step (11) and that you restarted the \\fileserver computer.
19 Test that clients don't get the VERY annoying prompt when opening an Office or PDF doc
 a) on clientpc in windows explorer browse to a mapped folder you know is encrypted and open an office file and then PDF.
 If a prompt for user+pass then check hotfix (16)
20 Consider setting up a recycling bin for this mapped drive, so files are sent to recycling bin not permanently deleted
 a) see the last comment at the very bottom of
this page:
Points to consider:
 - NB: WebDAV runs on \\fileserver under a local user account, so double check local NTFS permissions for that local account and adjust file permissions accordingly. If the local account doesn't have permission, the webDAV / web folder share won't
either.
- CONSIDER: IP Security (IPSec) or Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to protect files during transport.
MORE INFO: HOTFIX: RAW DATA TRANSFERS
More info on step (11) above.
Because files remain encrypted during the file transfer and are decrypted by EFS locally, both uploads to and downloads from Web folders are raw data transfers. This is an advantage as if data is intercepted it is useless. This is a massive disadvantage as
it can cause unexpected results. IT MUST BE FIXED or you could be in deep deep water!
Consider using \\clientpc to access a webfolder on \\fileserver and copying an encrypted EFS file (over the network) to a web folder on \\fileserver that is not encrypted.
Doing this locally would automatically decrypt the file first then copy the decrypted file to the non-encrypted folder.
Doing this over the network to a web folder will copy the raw data, ie skip the decryption stage and result in the encrypted EFS file being raw copied to the non-encrypted folder. When viewed locally this file will not be recognised as encrypted (no encryption
file flag, not green in windows explorer) but it will be un-readable as its contents are still encrypted. It is now not possible to locally read this file. It can only be viewed on the \\clientpc
There is a fix:
 It is implimented above, see (11) above
 Microsoft's support page on this is excellent and short. Read "problem description" of "this microsoft webpage"
Other problems + fixes
PROBLEM: Can't find server due to network location.
 This one took me a long time to track down to "network location".
 Win 7 uses network locations "Home" / "Work" / "Public".
 If no gateway is specified in the IP address, the network is set to '"unidentified" and so receives "Public" settings.
 This is a disaster for remote file share access as typically "network discovery" and "file sharing" are disabled under "Public"
 FIX = either set IP address manually and specify a gateway
 FIX = or force "unidentified" network locations to assume "home" or "work" settings -
read here or
here
 FIX = or change the "Public" "advanced network settings" to turn on "network discovery" and "file sharing" and "Password Protected Sharing". This is safe as it will require a windows
login to gain file access.
PROBLEM: Deleting files on network drive permanently deletes them, there is no recycling bin
 By changing the location of "My Contacts" or similar to the root directory of your mapped drive, it will be added to recycling bin locations

here (i've posted a batch script to automatically make the required reg files)
I really hope this helps people. I hope the keywords + long title give it the best chance of being picked up in web searches.

What probably happens is that processes are using those mounts. And that those processes are not killed before the mounts are unmounted. Is there anything that uses those mounts?

Possible to install CS5 on an external drive?

Hi all,
I'm new to adobe products so I apologize if this is a common question; I tried my best to search the forums for an answer. I recently bought CS5 to use on my 2007 Macbook (snow leopard) for personal use, just to keep my skills current. I wouldn't be using the software that often and I'm worried it'll slow up my computer too much if I keep it on here permanently. I only have about 28 gb free. Is it possible to install and store the software on an external drive?
I see in the tech specs it can't be installed on a flash drive, but is there a way to install it on the laptop and then move it to a drive? If so, how big does the drive need to be? (I'd want something relatively portable) Are there any other problems that could arise from this? Thanks so much.
Emma

Several points:
Computers don't get slow because of a lack of hard drive space, unless there is very very little left (let's say under 1GB). You may be thinking of RAM (memory), where the more programs that are running simultaneously, the more difficult it is for the running ones to allocate memory and they may page between RAM and disk (virtual memory), which is slow.
You can install Creative Suite 5 on your hard drive and move it. Most of the Adobe programs will happily detect that they have been moved and update their idea of where they live. I think you will find that this causes mild problems for Acrobat, but it just means you get more annoying prompts when you start it up. Still, I would leave it alone.
In CS5.5, the installer lets you choose the location of the install (which Acrobat then ignores...). I can't remember if CS5 lets you choose, but I've moved it after the fact without a problem.
Another issue is that there are a lot of common files that are not installed in the Applications folder. For instance, I have 2.4 GB in /Library/Application Support/Adobe. I would not recommend trying to move these files unless you are familiar and comfortable with symbolic links (ln -s).
