PSE 8.0 (Mac) - Scrolling and Magnifying a Picture Issues

I am wondering if other people are experiencing similar issues with PSE 8.0. I am using PSE 8.0 on a MacBook Pro notebook loaded with Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6).
1. I am not able to use the "left arrow" (I'm not sure of the technical term) to scroll a picture. The up, down and right arrows all move the picture, but the left arrow doesn't work. Very weird!
2. In an older version of PSE, I was able to type in the magnification I desired, (e.g., 150%, 200%, 400%). In PSE 8.0, the magnification dialogue box will allow me to type a number in, but it will not change the picture's magnification. I have to use the +/- buttons or the associated slider which aren't as precise as typing in a desired magnification level.
Are there any other users experiencing similar issues like this, or should I investigate unloading and reloading the software?
Thanks in advance for any help provided.

Hi Barbara,
Your remark about the location of your arrows got me thinking. The default location of the arrows for Mac's is together (the way you have it) however when I purchased my notebook, I shifted them apart similar to the same configuration as Windows.
You can do this by going to System Preferences ==> Appearance and then choose where to "place the scroll arrows."
When I changed back to the default configuration (Together), the left arrow began working.
I still think that there is a bug with PSE 8 since I never had this problem with the PSE 3 version I've been using for the past few years. Hopefully, Adobe will recognize this problem and fix it. I did document the problem with them.
Once again, thanks for your help.
Regards,
John

Mac mini and Sony tv resolution issue

Hello,
I have recently purchased a Mac mini for the purposes of hooking it up to my 51" Sony Wega HDTV. I took the mini out and connected the DVI adaptor that came in box and then hooked the mini to the tv via HDMI cable thinking this was the best possible connection for my mini. I have an issue where the screen is over flowing off the TV screen. I looked in system preference and have very limited resolution options but 1080i was selected and also over scan was checked. If I deselect overscan I get borders which I don't want. My tv doesn't have many options so how can I calibrate these two to work togethor?

I just discovered this is not a TV issue at all...
Uh, yes it is. Overscan is a condition unique to TVs. Computer monitors don't do it (overscan) hence there is normally no need for the kind of graphics card driver you are talking about, e.g. one that has precise control of video borders.
Many TVs on the market today have a method for defeating overscan, tucked away somewhere in their menu system, in order to allow the TV to be used just like a computer monitor. That is always the preferred solution when it is available because it will make the best possible image on the TV.
Your TV is a rear projection TV. Such TVs are not well suited for use as computer monitors because overscan is naturally baked into the optics architecture, meaning the manufacturer deliberately sets the mirror and lens system in such a way as to cause the native resolution (1280 x 720 in the case of your TV) to extend beyond the edges of the projection screen. Therefore it is impossible to get the native resolution of the projector's engine to display fully and perfectly on the screen. Only scaled or bordered version of it can ever be displayed. It's all fixed at the factory and there's no getting around the fact.
For the original G4 Mac mini that had ATI Graphics, there was a driver like the one you found for your father's Windows computer that allowed video borders to be set independent of resolution. But apart from that early effort on the part of ATI, I have not seen anything like that since for minis that have graphics based on Intel or nVidia hardware. I think you are going to be stuck with the dark video borders as a necessary limitation of the TV you own in the absence of any driver to counteract that limitation.
I believe the media center front end app called Plex has a facility for setting video borders, but I've never used it personally since I am able to turn overscan off on my TV. So I can't vouch for how well it works. And in any case, since it is bound to the app, it will only be active when Plex is running and not when, say for example, the Finder is in use, which is when you most need it.

Mac Pro and DVD Studio burner issues....

Hello-
We just got a new Mac Pro, installed Final Cut Studio 2 and for some reason when I go to burn a DVD in DVD Studio Pro I get the message of: No disc was found in the disc drive. Please insert acceptable DVD recordable media. I have tried 3 different brands of DVD's to make sure that it wasn't the brand we where using.
We tried burning a DVD in iDVD and it worked fine. I can place a disc or a dvd in the drive and it works..... I called tech support and they had no idea.
Has anyone else had this problem and/or a solution?
Thanks!

Hiya and good morning. Does the DVD Studio Pro (not running it myself) require a specific disk by any chance (anything in preferences?), such as -R OR +R or similar.
I take it, otherwise, your Mac Pro DVD writer is performing well? I could be an issue with that? Have you updated all firmware via software update?
Good luck.

Mac Mail and MS Exchange Syncing Issues

I have seen this issue mentioned in the forum, but have not found any answers to help.
I have receive mail through Exchange from the university for which I work. I get the mail on my iPhone just fine. However, it does not come through on my MacBook Pro. I have to go into preferences and disable the account and then enable it again and then everything comes through. I am not sure what the problem is. I have updated my operating system to 10.9.2. This has worked fine in the past, but is not working properly now. Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

I can assure you that integration between Mail and Exchange is possible, at least in some scenarios. I am the primary Exchange system administrator for a medium-sized university that uses Exchange 2003 with an OWA (Outlook Web Access) front-end server.
I currently have Mail and Entourage 2004 running side by side on my just upgraded Mac. I used the mail account configuration wizard with ease. Go to the the Mail Preferences and click on Accounts. You can use the '+' button to add an account. Supply your full name and email address to the wizard and click continue. In the Account Type selection, choose Exchange. Type a friendly description such as "Exchange - Your Name". To get things to work correctly, you may need to know on what backend server your mailbox resides. You will also need to know what your OWA server is named on the network. You will also need to know what server is your outgoing mail server. This will likely be the same as your OWA or backend server. You should be able to retrieve those items from your Entourage settings. In my configuration, I was able to put the name of my OWA server (ex. owa.company.com) in both the Incoming Mail Server and Outlook Web Access Server fields as well as the outgoing mail server.
I am not sure how the configuration will vary with Exchange 2007 or in an environment without an OWA server. There are also issues with Address Book Integration of the Global Address List in Leopard in situations where there are multiple domains in a single forest. In that regard, contacts won't automatically resolve as they do in Entourage in many cases.

Unable to connect mac laptops and windows laptops on network at same time

Hi I have a wrt110 router which has a wired windows desktop attached. I also have several mac laptops connected wirelessly as well as an hp printer ,video game system blue ray player ,ipod,iphone and kindle all which connect with no problem. I have a pc laptop (Dell) which can see and connect to my network but does not connect to the internet . I tried disabling and even temporarily removing the antivirus software plus disabling the firewall but with no success. I am at my wits end because I need the pc laptop for work. The internet will connect to the pc laptop when I hard connect it into the router.
DSL through Earthlink .
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try this. Disable IPv6 on all Win 7 computers under LAN properties for both wired and wireless adapters. Reboot computers. Leave the MAC's turned off for now. Try to connect all the devices except the MAC's. If successful connect the MAC's and if they have issue's, disable IPv6 on those now too. Make sure the WRT110 on on firmware 1.0.04 or above.

Nvidia quadro 4000 and boot camp monitor issue

Hey Im running a quadro 4000 on my mac pro and I'm having issues in my bootcamp partition running windows 7, were it won't wake up from sleep or screens won't turn on at all, some issues in general with it booting up properly and sometimes screens go black, but computer is still running just black screens... any ideas... from what i see people have been running this with and since the latest drivers people seem to be happy... just can't seem to get much performance out of mine. Even treid installing the drivers as a root user but still having similar issues as before.
From reading on many forums it seems like this should not be happening with the latest drivers now out, Ive put back my old ATI and it works fine so im pretty sure its the card... any suggestions or tips?
thanks

You will have to ask the Suitcase people. I see nothing in there related to the Adobe part of the equation. It's the Suitcase plug-in dragging down everything all the way.

I have a new mac pro and can't get a side scroll bar. What can I do to get this?

I have a new mac pro and can't get a side scroll bar. How can I get this?

The scroll bar is now set to appear automatically when you start scrolling with a trackpad or scroll wheel mouse. If you are using an mouse without a scrolling device, you should change a setting.
In System Preferences, click General, and in the Show Scroll Bars section, click the option for how you want it to work. If you want to see them all the time click "Always."

I have been using Adobe Photoshop Elements on an older Mac...just bought Mac Mini and migrated all my files...but 4.0 Does not work....can I upgrade PSE 4.0 to PSE 13?

Yes, any version of PSE qualifies for upgrade pricing, but if you're in the US you might want to consider running the trial for now and waiting for the black friday specials, when the full version will be a lot less than the adobe upgrade price.

HT2477 Just bought a Mac book and the set up is with the Voice over key commands,how do you switch this off as it is painfull to use and use the scroll pad

Just bought a Mac book and the set up is with the Voice over key commands,how do you switch this off as it is painfull to use and use the scroll pad?

It's the button (key) that is labelled Control.
Each of the modifier keys and similar keys has its own symbol; this makes listing command keys easier to do. The Command key is usually the only key which has its symbol printed on the key. If you open Keyboard Viewer (in the Input menu, the one which displays the flag in the main menu bar), you can see what symbol refers to which key.

ATV is scrolling and playing music on Mac whilst generally browsing main ATV menu screen

When I am scrolling through the main ATV screen( up down left right) it is jumping to my iMac iTunes and playing and scrolling through my music library. It is also adjusting the volume on the mac as I scroll up and down. This is frustrating and annoying as I scroll and all can hear is music from the mac playing through internal speakers and changing tracks as I scroll left,right etc, volume up and down as I scroll. How can I stop this. I only wish to do this when I actually choose to go into my library form the ATV menu, not whilst I am browsing generally.
I believe I have third gen. (Newly purchased) and new to ATV.

Opening animated gif in PSE 8 for Mac

I am switching from PSE for PC to PSE 8 for Mac.
I have always been able to open animated gif as layers and work with them, then resave as an updated animated gif.
WIth PSE 8 for Mac, I get a pop up that the file is animated and can only see the top frame. Any ideas on how to open up all of the frames in layers?

Do I need to enable this process for my Mac? Maybe I'm missing a plug-in or update?
I have been opening these files from others, tweeking and resaving for almost 2 years in PSE. It definitely will not shuffle the individual panels on an animated gif into the layers box.
My tweeking usually involves adjusting frame speed. Is that what you mean by 'frame rate'?
Thank you for your help.

I have a mac air and an iMac and both have Pages. I use Pages on my air and save all documents to iCloud. I can see them on my iMac but it won't open with Pages. It becomes visible if I change it to open with preview but I can't interact with it.

I have an mac air and an iMac 5k - pages runs on both. I use pages on my air and save all my documents to iCloud drive. I can see the documents on my iMac but some won't open in pages which is bizarre? They will open if I change it to open with preview but then all I can do is read it - I can't add to the document - All I want is to be able to see all my documents on all my devices and to be able to have them sync so I can add to the documents from any of my devices. I also have an iPhone 6 and an iPadair2 but I would be happy just to have the iMac and macair sync for starters. I have folders within folders in my documents,. The folders which contain pdf's and individual files open OK . The one I am having difficulty with is the file which I use for ongoing correspondence - in other words it is quite long - I keep adding to it ( by copying letters in and letters out so I can see a sequential history of what has been going on by scrolling down ) in date order so that it could be 1 - 100 pages long - but I don't think the size is a problem. I don't understand why some folders can open and others not . Has anyone any suggestions please. I have been trying to get this to work for months since iCloud drive came in. It has got much better but it is still not good enough - or maybe it's me?

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.

PSE 12 for Mac doesn't see my scanner

PSE12 for Mac refused to work with my scanner. In preferences I checked "Additional Plug-Ins Folder" and selected the Optional Plug-Ins Folder which contains the TWAIN.plugin. I restarted the PSE and the File> Import... command remains dimmed out. Tried resstarting the iMac and PSE still doesn't see the scanner. PSE 11 used to recognize the scanner right away. I hope this isn't a permanent change in PSE 12!
Thanks for any help!
OS X 10.8.5
Canon 8800F Scanner
TWAIN.plugin v12.0.4x001

Hi Barbara - I reinstalled PSE 11 on my iMac and verified that it still works with the Canon 8800F scanner. I also installed PSE 12 on my Macbook Air, moved the Twain plug into the right spot, and found that it doesn't see the scanner either. Preview on the Macbook does see the scanner OK so it's not a connection problem there either.
I noticed that the Twain plugins in PSE 11 and 12 are the same version but different sizes. The get info windows for the two versions of PSE on the iMac (Kahawalu) and the PSE 12 on the Airbook (Niumalu) are below. Would you be able to let me know the PSE 12 Twain file version and file size that is working with your Canon scanner? It might help narrow this thing down.
Thanks again for your assistance! William
