Reset preferences on next launch

How do I reset my preferences? My "add glow" is giving me a dark grey, grainy effect instead of the usual glow effect. I tried ctrl, shift and alt but nothing comes up and when I go to my general preferences the "reset preferences on next launch" button is not there.
Please help 

Try the following steps:
1. Launch Welcome Screen
2. Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Command+Option+Shift on Mac). Click on big Editor button.
3. It will launch a dialog to reset preferences
See if this works for you.

  • BUG Mac OS 10.6.5 - Ps CS5 Reset preferences on launch

    Hi,
    Since I upgraded my MacBook Pro and iMac to 10.6.5, Photoshop CS5 Extended ask me if I want to reset the preferences on each launch.
    Of course even if I ask to keep them they still are reseted.
    To add to this mess, every file ask me on opening if I wan't to read the file composite data instead.
    Also my Ps is up to date but when checking for the version number I found out that the About Panel now displays "Adobe White Rabbit" instead of the usual panel.
    Last thing, I am using the french version of the suite on a Mac OS X also in french.
    PS: I just find out that Indesign also ask me to reset my preferences.

    That About panel is from a pre-release version of Photoshop CS5 (White Rabbit was the code-name: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoshop#Release_history). I don't believe it ever made it into the retail version of the software. Were you on the pre-release team?
    Anyway, I've had similar problems on my iMac and MacBook Pro at home - instead of resetting the preferences on launch, Photoshop tries to create a new document on launch. Basically, it behaves as though I were holding down the Option key on my keyboard. Same kinds of problems with Illustrator as well. I thought it might be an OS X 10.6.5 issue, but it's not happening on my Mac Pro at work, so that's not likely.

  • When Bluetooth headphones disconnect, applications become muted until next launch

    When I disconnect my Bluetooth headphones, either by choice, or due to a dead battery, the applications that were routing audio to the headphones become muted until the next time they are launched. Reconnecting the Bluetooth headphones doesn't unmute them.
    Steps to Reproduce:
    1. Use an application with audio going out to Bluetooth headphones.
    2. Disconnect headphones.
    Expected Results:
    Audio returns to Mac builtin speakers
    Actual Results:
    Application is muted until next launch. Reconnect headphones, and the app is _still_ muted.
    Anyone else experience this problem? It's especially annoying when I'm playing video games that can't be quickly relaunched without losing progress.
    System:
    Bose AE2W Bluetooth Headphones
    Mac OS X 10.9.1 Mavericks
    13" mid-2013 MacBook Air, Intel Core i7

    If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, read this.

  • Is there a script that will reset preferences in Illustrator?

    I'm using Illustrator CS6 and Illustrator CC on both Mac and PC. Holding down Ctrl-Alt-Shift or Command-Option-Shift while launching Illustrator does not work to reset the preferences.
    Does anyone know an easy way to reset preferences?

    Move the complete folder out of there:

    You can trash it immediately, but you can also wait if this move solves your proble and then maybe delete it afterwards.

  • The curser includes a text box from a previous image or link when the curser is positioned on the side of the page. i click and it goes away but only to return again on the next launched page. how do i get rid of this?

    the cursor includes a text box from a previous image or link when the cursor is positioned on the side of the page. it will mainly happen when i hit "back" from the page i was on. i click and it goes away but only to return again on the next launched page. i also keep several tabs open and it will carry over to any one of them i go to. how do i get rid of this?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == when i upgraded to most recent version 3.6.8

    A number of extensions can cause that problem, you'll need to do a little troubleshooting to find out which extension is causing that to happen for you.

  • Bridge CC freezes and I cannot reset preferences

    Built a new PC with Win 8.1. Downloaded CC. Bridge, which I use professionally, keeps stalling. Using arrow keys on keyboard to navigate photos doesn't work:  push an directional arrow key and Bridge goes into clocking mode (freezes while mouse cursor spins). Bridge has crashed multiple times causing my PC to reboot.
    The Adobe Help suggests resetting Preferences by pushing Shift+Ctrl+Alt. I do that and Bridge goes into clocking mode, but the reset preferences dialog never appears.
    Steps I've taken so far:
    The CC component is installed on my SSD drive, while all of the CC apps are on my WD Black hard drive. I noticed Bridge is using cache on the SSD. I created a new cache dir on the WD hard drive, but that didn't resolve anything.
    I disabled all startup scripts. No improvement.
    I uninstalled and re-installed Bridge. No improvement.

    Having spent my entire day troubleshooting, I have determined that I am combating 2 separate issues:
    1) Bridge CC freezing when navigating menus and photos, lengthy freezing when navigating photos in Content window with arrow keys. <-- RESOLVED
    2) Bridge CC and LightBridge CC crashing and causing PC to reboot when attempting to utilize cache containing RAW photos.
    For #1, I have nearly identified the culprit. I removed the brand new Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660 video card and uninstalled the GeForce 344.11 driver set, and am now using the onboard video (Intel Graphics HD). I re-installed Bridge CC and now the freezing has completely vanished. So the issue is either the latest driver or the GeForce card itself, or both. I plan to return the card.
    For #2, I think the issue is totally associated to the Adobe cache mechanism. Screenshot of LR error after LR crashed and PC rebooted...

  • Help with Sort sequence and reset preferences

    Hi,
    I have checked the "sort" checkboxes and the "sort sequence" in my first 5 columns of the sql report. The sequence are straight 1,2,3,4,5.
    I have also create two buttons. The first one that will trigger a pl/sql that would execute RESET_USER_PREFERENCES built-in package, and a second button that just submit. The page submit to itself by default.
    It appears that the Reset Preferences does not follow the "sort sequences". Take a look at: http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=15031:2:
    Check what happen with the second column OBJECT NAME: I expect to see CUSTOM_AUTH first and then CUSTOM_HASH second once you Reset User Preferences. Interesting is that when I just press the refresh button, then i get what I want, but i think that is just coincidence as there is not guarantee that the data are going to be displayed in that order once you start deleting and inserting in the middle.
    Any help in order to understand the "sort sequences" concept is appreciated.
    Thanks

    Anybody?

    Do you have your 10.4 Install Disc to do an Archive & Install?

  • System Preferences Won't Launch, console "bus error"

    This isn't a case of the System Preference not being found, being moved out of the Applications Folder, or anything trivial like that. System Preferences will not launch. This is a clean install of Leopard, and updated to 10.5.8. The error message in console is:
    9/1/10 3:11:45 PM com.apple.launchd74 (0x0-0x18018.com.apple.systempreferences212) Exited abnormally: Bus error
    "The application System Preferences quit unexpectedly." Relaunch doesn't work.

    I have exactly the same problem after having installed 10.5.8.
    I had to do this after not being able to start the machine at all because of (what I believe to be) a bug with Security Update 2010-005. The Archive and Install process did not work.
    This thread should be in "Using Mac OS X Leopard". I found it Googling "Exited abnormally: Bus error".

  • Colour Picker gone, resetting Preferences didn't do anything

    Windows installed an update, and when I opened PS CS6, my colour picker was gone. Instead I have tiny sliding bars which are of no use to me at all.
    I've tried resetting preferences, holding Ctrl+Alt+Shift didn't do anything, and I've tried for a few minutes to get the dialogue box up. I manually searched my hard drive for a preference file, deleted it, and that didn't do anything either. I went into preferences and the Adobe colour picker is selected. I get it when I click on the colour boxes in the lower left corner, but it's no longer showing up as an option on my task bar like it was yesterday. I have no option to change the currently sliders to anything but different colour settings.
    None of the solutions I've read have helped so far.

    Which version of windows are you using?
    Could you post a screenshot?

  • Java apps won't run, Java preferences won't launch

    Since the flurry of 2012 updates, Java is completely broken on my Mac Pro.  Java dependent apps don't start and Apple Support says to enable the apps in Java Preferences.
    Nice idea, but Java Preferences WILL NOT LAUNCH either.
    There were plenty of tools to address flashback and they DID NOT break normal day to day operations. 
    I downloaded the package from support to try a reinstallation, but it says "A newer version of Java is already installed" and offers me the option to Close.  No reinstall, nothing.
    Apple support is at it's usual level of service on this issue, completely INVISIBLE.
    What has happened to the Apple I used to know?  If any of the smart folks on this forum have a working solution, please share.  Deleting preferences doesn't do squat btw.
    Thank you.
    Ross

    If you want uninstall latest Java to install a previous version, open Terminal and issue this command
    sudo /usr/libexec/java_home –uninstall

  • ReSetting preferences for a project?

    I think things got scrambled, and  I need to go back and reset preferences for a project. Shot on Canon 5D II, want to work at 1920x1080.
    Does anyone know of a good online source for the way things should be reset at this point?
    Many thanks.

    What is wrong with the project?
    You could use MediaManager and use the 'create offline' option rather than copy or move. Then create a new project and set the sequence settings to what you want.
    Or just use cmd-0 to change the sequence settings directly.
    That's just my immediate responses based on a lack of info.
