Why does the welcome screen come up after PS CC 2014 launches?

since I installed PS cc 2014 every time I launch PS is will bring up the Welcome Screen after the desk top appears. It is of no use to any even medium exp. user... and is a wast of time and resources !!!

If you don't want to user Welcome Screen, you can turn in Off. Troubleshoot Welcome Screen in Photoshop

I tried to sync some new songs bought from iTunes into my ipod using my laptop, (for the first time). It would not add the new songs to the ipod. I tried several times, with same result. I never had this problem using my desk top computer.

I also am having a problem with the songs I purchased using the laptop not showing on the desk top itunes, even though it is authorized to do so. The new songs did show up on the iPad iTunes, however. Have no idea why. I thought this happened automatically.

How did my desktop appear on another computer after Leopard install?

I have a Mac G5 connected by ethernet to a cable company. I bought a MacBook for Chicago which is 2,000 miles away. After upgrading my G5 with Leopard I physically took the Leopard CD to Chicago and installed it on my MacBook in Chicago where I have wireless (router) After the install, my desktop was duplicated on this MacBook from the G5 in California. I never had these two computers connected, nor have I ever done a file sharing manipulation between these two computers.
One of the files on the desk top on my MacBook, when opened reveals all my files just like the one in CA except I can't open any of them because the program cannot be found. That is not suprising at all because I never installed any of these programs.
One program did open and can be used however and that is PhotoShop which I use lot on my G5. I never installed that program on my MacBook.
How did this stuff get on my MacBook? I believe there is a bug in the Leopard CD that performs all the functions I could do manually to get this desk top to duplicate.
What do you say?

Lizard33, Welcome to the discussion area!
Do you have a .Mac account? If so you are probably seeing the new Leopard "Back to My Mac" feature in operation.

Not Apple's greatest upgrade

Not the smoothest OS upgrade Apple has released. Maybe they were just trying not to make Windows Vista look so bad. My upgrade took me 13 hours (an unlucky number that!), but did finally work. The take home message is:
IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD AN EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE BIG ENOUGH TO CLONE YOUR WHOLE INTERNAL DRIVE AND SOME CLONING/BACKUP SOFTWARE, DON'T BUY LEOPARD UNLESS YOU ARE PREPARED TO LOSE ALL YOUR DATA AND RE-INSTALL ALL YOUR APPLICATIONS.
Here is the history of my rocky road to Leopard:
22:30 25 October 2007: Clone perfectly working 500 Gb internal drive (247 Gb free space) running under OS 10.4.10 with latest updates to external 1 Tb drive using Intego's Personal BackupX4 .
22:45 25 October 2007: Go to bed.
07:10 26 October 2007: Check there are zero errors in external clone.
18:45 26 October 2007: Purchase Family 5 pack licence for Leopard
16:00 27 October 2007: Bite lip, insert Leopard Instal DVD and follow instructions
16:03 27 October 2007: Get warning message in window where you choose the drive on which the upgrade is to take place: 'Mac OSX cannot start up from this volume. The destination disk must be erased for installation.'
16:04 27 October 2007: Reboot successfully from volume from which Mac OSX supposedly cannot start up and check formatting of disk - it's Mac OS extended (journaled) as it should be.
16:05 27 October 2007: Re-attempt Leopard install - result same warning.
16:10 - 17:10 27 October 2007: Conclude there must be some faults in the headers, tree structure, or permissions on the internal disk, so spend an hour checking internal disk with Disk Utility, Drive Genius and Tech Tools Pro - all of which say there are NO FAULTS. Nevertheless, to be sure I defragment the drive.
17:11 27 October 2007: Re-attempt installation of Leopard - result, same warning.
17:12 27 October 2007: Ring AppleCare and wait about 20 minutes listening to the world's most untuneful tunes from the iTunes Music Store. I figure that the wait means I am not the only customer having problems and wonder whether Apple Customer care were prescient enough to roster extra technical support people for the days following the release of Leopard.
17:32 27 October 2007: Technical support Assistant, Dave answers my call and I explain the problem. Dave says, 'Oh that means you have to re-partition your internal drive, restore your clone to the new partition, install Leopard on the new partition and blah de blah de blah de blah! I dig my heels in and tell Dave that is simply not acceptable and that Apple has promised me that this upgrade will be smooth and the easiest yet. I am not prepared to do all that - I want another solution.
17:33 27 October 2007: Dave agrees to call a higher authority and we try various thinks like ejecting all the external (Firewire) hard drives to no effect. Dave's higher authority then suggests I check the internal drive with Disk Utility again (having restarted from the Leopard Install DVD). As soon as I click on Utilities in the Menu bar the yellow warning sign on my internal drive disappears mysteriously and is replaced by the friendly green arrow saying that the installation onto my internal drive can proceed.
17:50 27 October 2007: Mistake #1 - I follow Dave's suggestion and click on 'CONTINUE' (with hindsight what I should have done at this point is to click on 'OPTIONS' and established whether of not the radio button beside the first option that reads something like 'Upgrade will replace existing OS and no other files or data will be affected', but I'm a trusting person and follow the advice of dave's higher authority. The upgrade seems to be going OK after 5 minutes, so Dave gives me a case number and asks me to call back and quote it if further problems occur.
19:30 27 October 2007: (Note: 90 minutes after the AppleCare Helpdesk closes on a Saturday!) The Leopard installation program completes and asks me whether or not I wish to enjoy the delights of Leopard. I click 'YES' and Leopard relaunches successfully and I check the contents of my internal drive and find to my horror that, without warning. Leopard has done a 'CLEAN INSTALL' - all my data and applications are GONE! I am now ON MY OWN UNTIL 09:00 Monday - I swear, pull out my voodoo manikin of Steve Jobs and insert a few curare-tipped hat pins into it.
19:35 27 October 2007: Feeling better, I reconnect external hard disk with cloned Tiger OS + data and attempt to use Migration Assistant to migrate all my families accounts and applications to Leopard. Migration Assistant tells me that the external clone does not have Mac OS X installed on it (despite the fact that I can see a 'System' folder containing 10.4.10 on it) and that it can't migrate anything. I swear some more and put more hat pins into 'Steve' - one right through his groin!
19:40 27 October 2007: I attempt to change the start-up disk in Leopard to the external hard disk with the cloned 10.4.10 - everything seems to work, except when I click restart (with the padlock item locked) the computer refuses to restart from the external drive and defaults to Leopard (3 f**king times!). I insert more hat pins into Steve, including an extra long one that goes up his rectum and out of his right eyeball.
19:50 27 October 2007: Becoming desperate and not being able to reboot from the external drive I decide to install Personal BackupX4 on the internal drive and attempt to clone the external drive onto the internal drive. I can't see how this will work with the Leopard OS being needed to run PBX4 and it trying to write a 10.4.10 System folder over the top of it, but what have I got to lose?
19:51 27 October 2007: To my complete surprise with the source set to the external drive and the destination set to the boot drive the clone starts as if OK. I go and work on my bicycle.
01:30 28 October 2007: PBX4 says that it has transferred all of the files (except a couple of fonts that are apparently incompatible with Leopard) but has entered 'flat-line mode' where it says it is 'finishing' but not transferring any data - this has been going on since 00:30. I try to exit PBX4 without success - even force quit doesn't work. I turn off the Mac and try to restart - the grey screen of death spins its little wheel for 10 minutes while I insert my remaining hat pins into Steve who is now looking like a porcupine.
01:45 28 October 2007: I go get my trusty Tiger install DVDs for the PowerMac (Intel Xeon x 2) and try to remember how to get the DVD drive bay door open when the Mac won't boot. I scream 'Open the pod bay doors Hal' at Steve waking my wife and both dog's all of whom start barking at me! I calm down, apologize to my wife and the dogs, and try holding down the eject key when I push the power on button. It works! I realize that the pins in Steve are beginning to work - this is the first piece of 'good fortune' that I have experienced for 24 hours! I re-install OS 10.4.8 (which came with the PowerMac and update it to 10.4.10 using Safari.
03:15 28 October 2007: I now have my Power Mac in the same condition as it was at 16:00 the previous day having used Migration Assistant under 10.4.10 successfully (Unlike Leopard, 10.4.10 DOES RECOGNIZE 10.4.10 on an external drive) to recover all of the family's accounts and data from the external clone. I go outside and stare up at the night sky, I see a mouse scuttle towards the hen house and hear the click of a mouse trap. Seizing my chance, I rush to the hen house and retrieve the still warm corpse. I prepare a small pile of twigs in the garden under the (nearly) full moon and place Steve and the hat pins on top of it. I cut the dead mouse's head off and squeeze it's blood onto Steve. I light the twigs and strip naked and dance solemnly around the sacrificial fire incanting 'worms, woolly aphids, codling moths and all known pests of the Apple tree give me The Power!' Lights go on in the house next door.
03:30 28 October 2007: I explain to the police patrol officer what I am doing and why and he helps me put my clothes on again. Fortunately he is sympathetic, because he had attempted to install Leopard on his Intel iMac before coming on duty and was still watching the grey screen of death when he had to leave for work. He tells me his name is Darren and asks me if the moonlight sacrifice has worked for me in the past. I tell him that it did when I had a similar experience going from OS 9.5.5 to OSX, but I add that I had to use owl's feathers on that occasion as there were no mice in the hen house that night. Darren asks if he might be allowed to watch as I attempt another upgrade to Leopard on the restored 10.4.10. He tells me he admires my intestinal fortitude for even attempting it.
03:45 28 October 2007: Darren watches as I eject and disconnect the external hard disk, bite my lip for the umpteenth time and close the DVD pod bay door and click on the install Leopard icon. We get to the fateful 'choose disk for installation' screen and this time, by the Power of all of the pests of the Apple tree the welcome GREEN ARROW magically appears over my internal drive. Being less trusting and more experienced than I was at 17:50 the previous evening, I click on options - the radio button beside the 'Upgrade will replace existing OS and no other files or data will be affected' is highlighted. I cross myself, throw a pinch of salt over my left shoulder onto Darren's uniform, apologize and click 'CONTINUE'. The DVD whirs and I pour Darren and myself a beer. We have several more and recount Mac upgrades past over the next 90 minutes as Leopard re-installs.
05:15 28 October 2007: While singing the third chorus of 'Eskimo Nell', Darren and I notice that Leopard is asking us whether or not we wish to sample its features. I throw three more pinches of salt over my right shoulder (being carefull to avoid Darren's uniform, which is now covered with beer stains and cracker crumbs) and click 'YES'. Leopard reboots and there as if by magic, is my old log-in screen, and then my desk top with all of the new Leopard widgets! All my data is still intact (although I do have to re-install about 12 applications because the licence key files have obviously gone missing in the clone/migration assistant exercise. Darren shakes my hand and we embrace. My wife enters the study in her dressing gown with a quizzical look on her face, possibly wondering why I am hugging a beer stained policeman in uniform. I tell her that I will explain everything later.
05:30 28 October 2007: Darren bids me farewell and as we walk to his patrol car I retrieve another freshly dead mouse from the hen house and some twigs and give them to him with my best wishes. 'Take care', he says with a tear in his eye, 'I'd better go back to the station and clock off.'
'You too', I reply, 'Come on Honey, it's time I got some sleep, a Leopard can't change its spots! You don't mind if I leave Tiger on your Mac for a few more months do you?'

If you are unwilling to backup your data regardless of update/upgrade, I have no sympathy for you.
If you recall, the panther to tiger update was also no picnic. And it just makes good sense to backup all of your pictures/data anyway - regardless.
That in mind, your story is witty and disarming! Bravo on the final success.
I have upgrades/clean installed 3 macs with no issues on each. Maybe my luck <shrug>

Using a remote desktop connection with the Macbook pro.

I use the remote desktop connection on the Macbook pro and am unable to exchange info between the mac and the remote connetion windows. For example, if I am writing an email from the remote connection and want to attach a document, photo etc. that I created on the Mac, it just doesn't work. It seems like the Mac and the desktop connection are completely seperated eventhough they are both on the screen in front of me. the systems I use for work are not Apple compatible and will not work on anything other than windows explorer and in my case the remote desk top connection. Any ideas!

Macbook only on when AC is plugged in, even though battery 100%

Hello,
I have had my Mac since december 2006 and it has worked perfectly, suddenly my laptop won't start up without A.C plugged in !
My battery is 100 % full, when i try to start up without AC i normally get the sound of the disks and fans spinning and a slight part of the welcome chime then it cuts dead. I see no screen either. With the AC it works fine. So it seems to me that the problem is not the battery but the laptop itself. I went into the 'System Profiler' to have a look at what it said, the only thing that i thought might be odd was that UPS was not installed (Uninterruptible Power Supply). Is This a problem ?
Thanks T.Gibbs
P.S if i can't find the solution on here what do i do ? I live quite far from an apple store and so don't have a chance to go and speak to someone there, my 90 day phone support has run out. I don't know how to contact someone about this ?
Macbook 2.0Ghz Core 2 Duo - 2GB Ram - 120 GB Hard Drive Mac OS X (10.4.10)

The MacBook does not have a UPS built in. That would be in something like a desk top.
You might try to reset the SMC and/or PRAM.

You: It now says there are 14 minutes remaining
Manoj: Thank you for informing.
Manoj: If you want to try installing the application later, you can try installing the application from Desktop by running the setup file from the desktop app.
You: There is still 8 minutes remaining. When this gets loaded to the desk top then what do I do.
Manoj: Once the copy of files is completed. Remove the disc and then open the desktop Photoshop Elements 13 folder, run the setup file in that folder to start the installation.
You: Ok. It still says it will take another 5 minutes to load
Manoj: Thank you for informing.
You: Now at 2.30 minutes remaining
Manoj: Thank you for informing.
You: Ok. The loading to desk top must be done & I have removed the disc
Manoj: Thank you,.
Manoj: Now open the folder which we copied now.
Manoj: Run the Setup.exe file from the folder.

Manoj: May I know the error it is showing as while trying to close the other installation window?
You: The sign in window keeps asking for a ID & Password. When i put them in is says I must reset the pass word
Manoj: Okay.
Manoj: Close that previous installation window which is asking to reset the password and run the setup file now from the new folder which we copied now.
You: I said it would send notice to my email but I checked both the email and the junk mail and nothing arrived
Manoj: Robert, since the previous installation is started from the disc, we need to close that window and start installing from the desktop Photoshop Elements folder.
You: Ok I got everything closed and will retry
Manoj: Thank you.
You: The installer initiation ran and now I am back to the same problem.. When I try to sign in it says I need a new pass word but nothing happens

Disc image and mounting question .

Disc utility - file - new > blank disc image . Save as ( so so ) . Volume name (so so ) . Volume size (4.5 gb dvd-r/dvd-ram. ) . Volume format ( mac os extended journal ) . Encryption ( none ) . Partition (cd dvd ) Image format ( spars bundle disc image )
I do this and I get two icons on desk top . One looks like the hard drive symbol and will say so so .sparsebundle . Then under it is an icon that looks like an external cd player or the like . And will say the image name under it .
When I open the image icon and put my files into it I close it and burn it to dvd . After it is finished I try to open it and it says it cant be mounted . So I tried the hard drive looking one just above it and nothing . So I could eject the icons but not the dvd . She says I should try closing application and try again . Cant find anything to close so I restart and can eject the dvd then . I put it back in and same thing so I restart and get it back out . Now I start all over a new and just before I burn I leave the folder open and click edit select all the file the burn selected items to disc and vwula every thing
s ok .
Now after you have read all this , my question is (1) What is the top icon for ?
(2) Is this normal ?
(3) Can I keep asking questions like this to learn my mac . I do search the forums and they are quite helpful Thank you for your time .

Plymouth Horizon,
I will do my best, First Why are you making a sparse image and then burning? To Me this seems like extra work. What you can do is make a Burn Folder, add the things you want burned and then burn it. It will add Icons for the stuff in it with an alias Icon but it will burn the file not just an alias. I personally only use the images when I want to secure something with a password, or store files I've downloaded.
I would say that its normal, in the case that your making the image on your desktop. The reason you have the two 'Icons' is one is the image and the other is the mount of the image. Think you downloaded a .dmg file you have the file in your downloads folder and the icon on your desktop, you trash them both to get rid of.
And you are more then welcome to keep asking questions here, that is what these forums are for.
Hope that helps,
Weston

A sign comes up cannot be deletd therefore cannot be removed from the desk top.
Any help welcome

Hanging start up and other oddities

Hanging Startup and other oddities
I'm not especially proficient with the upkeep and terminology that comes with the programming aspect of Macs, so, if you do help, if you could please put whatever advice you have in lay terms, it would really help me out.
I've had my laptop computer for going on three years now, and I've never had a problem like this before. My machine started to really slow down yesterday morning, and generally when ever it does that, I just do a quick restart, and everything is back at normal. Well, not so yesterday.
To begin with, it took me to the grey screen, and it just stayed there for about ten minuets. It didn't change, didn't move to load the apple insignia, nothing. So I gave it a forced restart, and it did it again, except it load the apple logo.
Third time, it got me to blue screen. On restart #4 (force restart #3), it finally loads into my desk top, but the slow processing remained. I tried to go in and repair disk permissions, but then it froze up, and I forced a restart. This time, back to the grey screen.
I lost count as to how many time I restarted, but I finally went and rooted out my OS disks, and did a restart with disk 1 in, holding down PR+CtrlApple (It was my understanding that this would zap the P-Ram, and would at lest sort of help with whatever my problem was). Well, it took me to grey screen, but now a small folder is in the center of my screen. going from the finder icon to a "?" in the middle of the folder.
Did a restart holding down the "C" key, and it went into the install screen that launches from the disk. I was able to click through to select the drive I wanted, then my hard drive didn't show up as a possible selection. Yet ANOTHER C key restart, and this time it showed up.
Went through the first loading screen, where it is checking permissions, and everything's fine, but when I get to the installation process, it tells me there is an error with my perimeters, and I should restart and try again. Did this again, and I had to start over from square one.
I tried just a normal restart after three or four attempts at an installation, and now, whenever I load it without C depressed, a grey box shows up in the middle of my screen with an image of the globe on it, and it flashes. Nothing else loads until I do a restart.
It's my impression this, obviously, isn't a good sign and I should get in contact with someone who knows what they're doing and can walk me through it and get my computer running again. I thought I'd run it by you guys here before I called Apple, and, hopefully, you guys can help me out/help me better describe my problem. Any help you can give - links to other threads, experiences, what something means, what to tell a technician that I'm looking at/going through, anything at all, will help me tremendously.
Thanks for your help and time,

Hey Gary, thanks for the welcome!
By the time I was able to pull your suggestions off of the form, I had already done a few things to my computer, as per recommended by the Apple site. This article is what I was pulling my steps off of.
I started at step 4 (Selecting the "Connect automatically when starting TCP/IP applications") and went through to step 8, semi-step i.
1 - I tried to start up in safe mode (Shift+Restart) and I logged several kernal panic screens before I even got to the apple insignia on a grey screen.
2 - I ran Disk Utility several times, and would come up with an error and a notice that the utility had quit. The first time I ran it, I noticed that it had found a lot of Oprhaned indirect iNodes, and by the second time the utility was ran, they no longer showed up in the right pane of the box. The fifth time it ran, it took roughly two hours to complete, and actually went all the way through.
3 - Still would not load past the grey screen, so I went through and did fsck check a couple of times, and it told me that my machine appeared to be ok. I got all the way through the step where it tells you to run a fsck, then type in a mv Preferences Preferences_old, then did a reboot and let my computer load.
When it finally did load (the actual boot up and load took about ten minuets, which is about seven minuets slower than normal), it took forever to do any commands that I issued. I went through and backed up all of my files onto my external, and then I went to go follow the rest of the step, and my computer froze up. I decided to save the rest of the procedure for today, when I can find some time.
The basic thing that I'm concerned about now is that the machine is running exceptionally slow. It loaded Safari and a couple of other applications I'm always in, but it took roughly ten times longer than normal to do anything.
Since it's recignising the machine and loading into my desktop, I was going to see if I can now do a safe restart and see if I can follow any of the steps that are dictated by the site, but I'm still not certian if that will work. Last time I tried it, I got a kernal panic screen.
Anything I should try?

Changing the default view in any folder

The default setting regarding how the contents of a folder is displayed is "Tile view". How can you set all folders to open in a "List view"?
I realise that if I change any particular folder to List view it stays that way from that point on but it's really annoying setting every single folder manually!
Isnt there a 'global setting' for making List view a default? On a PC this is very straight forward, how do I do this on a MAC?

Dear Rich
Welcome to Apple Forums,
I'm not sure about either of these but it used to be that you could rook the finder into opening in which ever view you wanted by double clicking on your hard drive icon on your desk top changing it to the view you want and then resizing it slightly. If you then close it and reopen it it should open to list view again. Again i'm not sure that this still works but its better than nothing. Also there is a free program called Cocktail that might do it for you( i have an old version and there for the newer version might have it when might doesn't). I hope one of these two ideas works out for you.

IWeb installed, but won't open to desktop

I was working on my website, clicked on save, and all disappeared.
iWeb remains in the Applications folder, but will not open from there
or from the saved file on the desk top and one on the palm drive.
I re-installed iWeb (iLife 9), but it still will not open.
What to do now?
Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try the following:
1 - close iWeb.
2 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
3 - go to your User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete the contents.
4 - launch iWeb and see if there's any improvement.
