Saving a file in Photoshop creates a new drive in LR - huh?

I am completely stumped on this.
When in LR2, I right click a raw file and have it edit it in photoshop cs3. The image opens in PS. Now when I save it, either just by closing and having it save it automatically, or if I specify where I want it to be saved (and I want it to be saved in the same folder as my raw files), it's creating another drive area in LR.
Please look at this image to see:
http://www.allizdog.com/temp/LR-OddFolderThing.jpg
You can see that I have my e: drive with all it's photo folders in it, and I have a folder selected that contains the file I edited. After I saved the file in PS, the second e: panel at the bottom appears and the PSD image file is in there, but it's not in the upper e: folder where I wanted it. Why is it creating this second thing?
So, if I syncronize the folder I was originally working in, the PSD will show up where I wanted to, but now I have this second e: thing that I now have to delete.
What's up with that?

This and other exporting to CS3 problems are discussed in depth in this thread:

but to answer your question--so far no one has reported a problem when deleting the 'ghost' folder.

How to open animated .GIF files in Photoshop CS3 and newer

Q: Since ImageReady is long gone from Photoshop, how can I open animated GIF files in Photoshop CS3 and newer?
A: File -> import-> video to layers.
In the dialogue box type "*.*" to show all file types.
Select your GIF file and which frames to import.
They will now be available in your animation palette.

Zeno
curt y, sorry for the late reply, I tried that but I doesn't work. I have to choose at least two files in the Load Layers window in order for the OK button to be available and then some action script uses the different files to make layers and merges them but not from the frames of the gif file. I can undo through the script to see what it did but it never accessed the frames of the gif file, just the first frame. Choosing "make frames from layers" in the animation palette only puts the original files into layers - that is only the first frame of the gif file.
I guess I'm out of luck with the 64 bit version of Photoshop as Zeno suggested :-(
What program would you people suggest for opening each frame from gif files?

What is causing this? The file "iTunes Library.itl" does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has created a new iTunes library and renamed this file to "iTunes Library (Damaged) 4". This happens everytime I start iTunes lateley. Help!!!

Everytime I open iTunes lately...I get all my music thrown out of the library and this annoying message come up...The file “iTunes Library.itl” does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has created a new iTunes library and renamed this file to “iTunes Library (Damaged) 4”. Is this how an apple works? It doesn't? Why all of a sudden is it doing this? Please help. Thank you.

Did you happen to bring this iTunes library over from a windows machine? You might read this kb article to see if it helps http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451

Why has this occurred The file "iTunes Library.itl" does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has created a new iTunes library and renamed this file to "iTunes Library (Damaged)".

My itunes library suddenly that the file “iTunes Library.itl” does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has created a new iTunes library and renamed this file to “iTunes Library (Damaged)”. I use an external hard drive for my Itunes.

The library file appears to have been corrupted. You say you use your external drive but is the whole library on it or only your media? No matter, you will have to rebuild the library file:

Creating a new Driver/DataSource in Visual Administrator

Hello,
I have been struggling to create a Data Source for a SQL Server DB in Visual Admin. I did the following.
1) Created a new Driver MSSQL, added to it msutil.jar, mssqlserver.jar and msbase.jar.
2) Created a new data source gave it a name, description
- Selected the MSSQL driver which I just created
- JDBC Version 1.x
- Driver class:
com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver.class
- Database URL:
jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://xxx.xxx.xx.xx:1433;databaseName=TestDB
3)Tried both Open SQL and Vendor SQL as database engines.
4) Gave the appropriate user id and password
With the above configuration when I entered a SQL Statement in the 'DB Initialization' tab and executed it, I got a SQL Server Driver Class not found exception.
My second configuration was to use the JDBC Version 2.0
with the following settings:
1) Use the same MSSQL driver which I created
2) JDBC Version 2.0
3) Object Factory: com.microsoft.jdbcx.sqlServer.SQLServerDataSourceFactory
4) DataSource Type: ConnectionPoolDataSource
5) CPDS classname: com.microsoft.jdbcx.sqlServer.SQLServerDataSource
6) Gave the required key, values in the 'Additional' Tab
7) Chose Vendor SQL as the SQL Engine.
With the second configuration I can connect and talk to the database.
Why would I not be able to connect to the DB in my first configuration? Are there any other configuration steps I am missing for using the JDBC 1.0?
Thanks,
Asheesh

If you are trying to create a new DBPool then you can use the OSS note 706216. This describes the method of adding the connection pools using the commands in the telnet console
I hope this helps

Lenovo G480 Problem: I cant Create a new Drive

Hi everyone.. so my my laptop is a Lenovo G480 intel i3
4GB ram
My operating System when i bought this was Windows 7 Home Basic.
So my problem is that my Local Disk C is 420 GB while my Local Disk D is only 25.4 GB
So I want my disk D to have more space (atleast 150GB) so I could store all my Installers, Games, Music and Videos in there, but when i try to transfer the memory from C to D, it wont. I shrink 150GB from my Local Disk C and when i clicked on Local Disk D the option Extend Volume is not available. So i tried to create a new drive instead.. I right click the 150GB unallocated space and the only option available is Create Simple Drive (i think). then i agreed at all the options but in the end it would say Not Enough Space.
I dont understand. So I tried changing the Operating System to Win7 Ultimate but same problem. Please Help Me I dont know what to do (and by the way it can also not be done when im installing Win7. The option Extend is also not present there or Create new Drive)
Solved!
Go to Solution.

you need not to go to diskmgmt.msc as you have already messed up enough with your HDD. now wipe out you system reserved, C and D partition (I mean all created partitions leaving the OEM reserved partition viz "LENOVO_PART") booting from windows 7 DVD. At one page there will be drive option when you see your all partitions. click that "Drive Option" and now delete one by one all partitions leaving "lenovo_part" one untouched.
now create your required partitions of your size. system reserved partition of 100 MB will be automatically created when you create your first (C) drive.

File locked message when saving a file with Photoshop

We've been seeing a problem with several users that is hard to reproduce. Every once in a while when they try to save a file in Photoshop on the server they get a dialogue saying 'the file is locked, use Finder info to unlock the file'.
This file is located on the server and the problem only happens when doing a 'Save', not with a 'Save as'. The server is running 10.5.5 and the clients are 10.4.11. This is happening with Photoshop versions CS1, 2 and 3. It also happend with Illustrator CS3 once.
We've been experimenting with different scenario's using different ACL's and POSIX settings. Also, when the client reboots their machine the exact same 'Save' actions works again.

I've been receiving complaints about a similar issue over the past few weeks, except using Quark and Excel. I wonder if it's related to the 10.5.5 update. Are you sure you didn't get the version numbers reversed in your post? We're having the issue with 10.4.11 SERVER and 10.5.5. CLIENTS.
It's a file locking issue, so you probably won't fix it by changing the ACLs or POSIX permissions. The server thinks a different process still has the file open, so it's preventing you from changing the file. "Save As" works because it creates a new file.
You can probably eject & reconnect the volume from the client instead of fully rebooting.
The question is what's keeping the file open. You can run:
sudo lsof | grep <filename>
... in Terminal to see whether a given Mac has the file open. If the server comes back with a response to that command (don't worry what it says - you just want to see if anything comes back), then you know that the file is locked.
Next, go to each client that could have the file open and run the same command. If none of them have it open, you're probably looking at the same glitch that I've been. The server thinks a file is open but none of the clients do.

When saving a File OS Is Creating Multiple Folders With The Same File Name

Not sure what I changed but, now when I save a any file (ppt. word, Keynote,Pages e.g.,) to the desktop or any other location the OS will also create multiple file folders with the same file name as the file I'm saving. Inside the folders are what appears to be files locating the saved files. What can I do to fix this problem?
I'm using the 10.7.2 version
MacBook Pro

It looks like a finder bug. To replicate, I surf to any website, I right-click on a jpg image, select "Save Image As" and in the window that pops up I type in the filename "000.jpg", I select the folder Pictures, and click on Save.
BTW, I don't know why, but the file was saved only as "000" without the file extension ".jpg". Does anybody know why?
the extension is simply hidden. go to the get info panel for the file and uncheck the option to hide the extension.
Then I surf to another image, and again I save it as "000.jpg" and now it asks me if I want to replace the existing filename, although the existing one is "000" and I try to save as "000.jpg", so I say yes, and then magically the file is saved with the full filename including the extension "000.jpg"
When I did it a couple of times, always saving image as "000.jpg" from various sources, I ended up with two distinct files named "000" and both in the same folder Pictures.
Please advise.
it sounds to me like you saved one file as 000.jpg and the other and 000.jpg.jpg.
check the info panels for the files for full names to verify if this is the case.

Files disappear when creating a new folder

I'm new to mac....got a macbook this week. I'm in Iraq so I have very limited access to anything. No internet for my mac at the moment...so I can't update even if there are ones. I assume I have the currenct version of everything though. The question...
While switching over my files I decided to reorganize them. I'm working on my external HD and creating many new folders for all my files. On numerous occasions now (4) I have created a new file the standard way...right click>new>file...then named it. On these occasions I have done this it has renamed the previous file I had worked in (even though it was not selected) and then the contents of the file disappeared. This leaves me with the new file I created and another identical file of the same name...now with nothing in it. Some of my files I have backed up, but the last one deleted many videos that I didn't. Happens randomly at no particular time. If I select the file and view its contents often it will briefly change its name back to the original name, but still nothing in it. Then next selection of anything will switch it back. Have not been able to fine the files anywhere. Tired of losing my files. Any ideas??? Thanks.

Hi Craig and Welcome to Apple Discussions....
First of all, thank you for all you are doing. It's so appreciated! Just be safe and come home soon.
Now... I have a feeling your external hard drive is the culprit. Read here:
Changing the names of items
You can easily change the name of a file, folder, or disk on your computer.
IMPORTANT: To avoid problems using Mac OS X or applications on your computer, don't move or change the names of folders that came with your system (such as the Library folder or your home). You should also not change the names of applications or items associated with specific applications. If you accidentally change the name of an installed item and you experience problems, you can change the name back.
Locate the item you want to rename on your desktop or in a Finder window.
Click the item to select it, then click the name. The name is highlighted and you will be able to edit it.
Type the new name and press Return.
Some document names have a file extension, such as ".txt" or ".jpg." If you change the name of a file and delete the extension, some applications may no longer recognize the file. To ensure the file can be recognized by the application that created it, change only the part of the name that comes before the extension, or open the file using the appropriate application, then save the file with a new name.
You cannot change the name of an item in the Finder window's sidebar. You must locate the item on your desktop or in a Finder window to highlight and change the name.
And more here:
Getting information about files and folders
You can view and modify information about files, applications, and volumes in the Info window. This information can include:
Comments that Spotlight can search on
Who can view and modify the item.
The applications that can open it.
Metadata that describes a file's contents and how it was created. For example, a photo's Info window may contain the picture's dimensions, exposure time, and the make and model of the camera.
To see information for one or more items, select the items and choose File > Get Info. An Info window opens for each selected item.
To see a summary of information about several items, select the items then hold down the Control key as you choose File > Get Summary Info. A window summarizes information on all selected items, including their total size.
To see information about each item as you select it, select one of the items then hold down the Option key as you choose File > Show Inspector. An Inspector window displays information on the selected item. When you select another item, the Inspector's contents are replaced with information on that item.
I realize that's a lot to digest and your time might be limited. This is something that only takes a few minutes and might help immediately.
Go to MacintoshHD/Applications/Utilities and locae Disk Utility. Launch DU, select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left and then click: Repair Disk Permissions. Depending on the size of your drive, it should only take a few minutes. When it's finished, Quit Disk Utility from the Menu.
Here's how to find out exactly which Mac OS you are running. Click the Apple logo top left of your screen then click, About This Mac. A pane will open. Just under "Mac OS X" will be the version number. ie., 10.4.x
Reboot your MacBook and see if this helps.... I'm retired and have time... if you need one on one help e-mail me: [email protected]
It's the least I can do

Saving a file in Vi creates same file but with ~ added [SOLVED]

Hi,
I'm not sure if I pressed a key combination, but when I save a file in Vi I get another file that has the same name as the original file but with the ~ character added to the end of the filename. For example, if I edit foo.txt and save it, then the original will be saved, but I'll also get a new file named foo.txt~. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks!

I think that the default backup settings (in /etc/virc if you use the basic vi package) changed with the recent upgrade to Vim 7.2.25.
For information on file backup setting combinations, see :help backup-table in Vim.

That article advocates disabling the use of swap files (:set noswapfile); however, I wouldn't recommend it. Whereas backup files are designated with a trailing tilde (~), swap files have names ending with .swp. The latter should be removed automatically when Vim exits (unless it is exited abnormally, such as when the user closes a terminal emulator without first quitting an instance of Vim that is running inside it).

Can't Open Photoshop-saved RAW file in Photoshop...

I've just gotten back from my school's library, where I was using one of the scanners to scan my negatives. I scanned the files directly into photoshop CS3. In retrospect, I absolutely should have saved in tiff, which has worked before, but this time I saved the files in raw. This is Photoshop Raw, not Camera Raw. I assumed that I could open these files back on my home computer (Photoshop CS4), but apparently I was wrong. If I try to open any of the raw files, I get a dialogue box called "Photoshop Raw Options", and if I hit "OK" I'm told something about missing color profiles, then I'm given an image of gray noise. If I change any of the settings in the dialogue box (files were saved at 16-bit grayscale with Mac byte order), I am told that "Specified image is larger than file," and I can't open the image.
What's going on? Why can't I open in Photoshop files that I just saved in Photoshop? Have my past few hours just been a total waste?

jbz2105 wrote:

Yep, pretty much unless you know the exact size and can correctly fill out the required dialogs required to open a Photoshop "raw" file. The "raw" format is not, as you've found out related at ALL to Camera Raw. It's really a holder over format from the early years used back when there weren't some file formats available on some computer systems...and yes, you SHOULD have used TIFF.

Text file - carriage return, creating a new line

anyone know how to create a new line in a text file, something which is the text file equivelent of a BR (html) tag.

in windows it's "\r\n"
in linux/unix/bsd it's "\n"
but the best way to do it is
//this will return the newline character for whatever
//platform your program is running on
System.getProperty("line.separator");

XFDF file is not created in C drive of the System.

Hello,
I am developing a plugin in acrobat professional 9.0 which exports all annotations in xfdf. I am using exportAsXFDF, through trusted function. The code works fine, except that XFDF is not created in C drive(C:\) of the system(WindowsXP). Please help.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I tried saving it in some other path like you said C:\temp\ and it worked fine. But the problem is that i need to place the xfdf in the same path as of the pdf. If pdf is in C:\ drive then i need to save the xfd in C:\ drive itself. Can you please help.
Thanks!

Saving PSD Files in Photoshop CS5.5

Hi,
I am new to photoshop and I am having a problem saving my layers in PSD Photoshop cs5.5. I created 4 layers and they all look great. the screen shot of my properties panel looks like this:
The problem is that after saving it as a PSD file and during the save process the layers box is checked, it wont open with all layers. So if I close the original that has all 4 layers and then reoping it after its saved, its not the same. The picture looks proper and all layers are in the picture, but on the side properties panel it looks like this
Please help, because now I am not able to edit this picture later if I like because I cant select the individual layers.
Thanks,
Rylan

Did you drag it into Photoshop on top of an already open canvas to open it? Try dragging it to the BORDER of Photoshop instead.
