Sudden problem with fill layers

I use Adobe Photoshop Elements 11. Until recently, I've had no problem with fill layers. I'd make a selection from the photo, then I'd make a layer of the selection, then I'd go to edit, fill layer, fill with background/foreground color. Then the selection only would be filled. Now, all of a sudden, I make the selection, make a layer of the selection, go to edit/fill layer/fill with background/foreground color, and the whole photo becomes filled with the fill color, and not just the selection. I'm always on the selection layer, not the background or any other layer. I've reset all the tool defaults, and I've even deleted the defaults file, but to no avail. What's happening here? How do I fix this?
Thanks,
Sue

When I tried to help Sue with the inquiry, I was doing so based on what was written and my interpretation of it
then I'd go to edit, fill layer, fill with background/foreground color.
For me that Photoshop Elements 11 Full Editor, Edit Menu/Fill Layer and the issue did not fit.
But if the route were as you have suggested Photoshop Elements 11 Full Editor, Layer Menu/New Fill Layer/Solid Color then everything would fall into place, centering around that option in the New Layer dialog "Use Previous Layer to Create Clipping Mask" being checked or unchecked.

We look forward to your follow up.
Thank you both.

Problem with filling nodes of a context with data

hi,
i've got the following problem with filling a controller context:
the context of the controller looks like:
Context
|-Node1 0..n singleton
|-Subnode1 0..n singleton
| |-SubVal1.1
| |-SubVal1.2
|-Subnode2 0..n singleton
| |-Subval2.1
| |-Subval2.2
|-Val1.1
|-Val1.2
that means every Element of Node1 should have its own Subnode-Elements & Val1-Values
in wdDoInit() of the controller I fill the context like this:
Collection Node1, SubNode1, SubNode2
for (Iterator iter = Node1.iterator(); iter.hasNext;) {
 newNode1NodeElement = wdContext.createNode1Element();
 newNode1NodeElement.set... //setting the values
 wdContext.nodeNode1().addElement(newNode1NodeElement);
 for (Iterator iter2=Subnode1.iterator(); iter2.hasNext;) {
 newSubnode1NodeElement = wdContext.createSubnode1Element();
 newSubNode1NodeElement.set... // setting the SubVal1.x
 wdContext.nodeSubnode1.addElement(newSubnode1NodeElement);
 for (Iterator iter3=SubNode2.iterator(); iter3.hasNext;) {
 newSubnode2NodeElement = wdContext.createSubnode2Element();
 newSubNode2NodeElement.set... // setting the SubVal2.x
 wdContext.nodeSubnode2.addElement(newSubnode2NodeElement);
i've got the impression, that all my SubNodes are filled in the first Node1-Element. is there an error in the code above? because in the first place, i see every values in the first Element of Node1-views and if i navigate to the next Element of Node1, every views are empty.
for every Node (Node1, Subnode1, Subnode2) i've got an own view, that maps its context to the corresponding Node of the controller context, e.g for the SubNode1-View:
Context Context
| ....
|- ViewNode ---> ..|- Subnode1
|- SubVal1.1 ---> .. |-SubVal1.1
|- SubVal1.2 ---> .. |-SubVal1.2
in these views, i navigate through the nodes via
wdContext.nodeViewNode().move...()
in the SubNode1-View i see the SubVal1.1, SubVal1.2 (that's what i want) and additional SubVal2.1, SubVal2.2 (that's what I don't want...)
kind regards, achim
ps: i've studied the Master/Detail-Tutorial and i think the choice for cardinality 0..n and type singleton is correct in my case.

hmm, let's look at the code:
for (Iteration Node1) {
newNode1NodeElement = wdContext.createNode1Element();
wdContext.nodeNode1().addElement(newNode1NodeElement);
for (Iteration SubNode1) {
 newSubNode1NodeElement = wdContext.createSubNodeXElement();
 newNode1NodeElement.nodeSubNode1().addElement(newSubNode1NodeElement);
 for (Iteration SubNode1.1) {
 newSubNode1.1NodeElement = wdContext.createSubNode1.1Element();
 newSubNode1NodeElement.nodeSubNode1.1.addElement(newSubNode1.1NodeElement);
 for (Iteration SubNode2) {
 newSubNode2NodeElement = wdContext.createSubNode2Element();
 newNode1NodeElement.nodeSubNode2.addElement(newSubNode2NodeElement);
is there an error in creating the SubNode1.1-Node (bold line)?
if the code is correct, perhaps it's only a viewing problem:
i use views that point on every node and display the values in that node. if i move in the view for Node1 to another node, the values for SubNode1 point to the correct values too, but the values for SubNode1.1 still stay on the old values. is the move of a grandfather node not correctly propagated to his first child?

Problems with filling out PDF forms

We have problems with filling out PDF-forms. Aotomatic filling of forms is deactivated and we use the Adobe Reader 11.0.05. The problem is: After some time the inputs are wrong put down in the form. For example: I write 120 and in the form stands 125. We have already extinguished the cache. Thanks for your help in advance.

You will get that first message when the document has been changed in a way that invalidates the internal digital signature that's applied when a document is Reader-enabled. Certain changes are allowed (e.g., filling fields, commenting, signing) and will not invalidate the signature, but others are not. The exact cause of the change is often hard to track down, but it can be due to font problems, some type of file corruption, or something that Acrobat/Reader attempts to correct when the file is opened/saved. You will also get the message if the users system time is not correct and is currently set to some time before the document was Reader-enabled. It seems best to use the most recent version of Acrobat to enabled the documents and recent versions of Reader to work with them.
It problem is probably not related to the user using anything in the Sign pane.

A problem with importing layered PSD file into Flash

Hi.
There's a problem with importing layered PSD file into Flash.
If I import a layered PSD file, some part the color of the lower layer is shown at the edge of objects or shadows. Instead, if I crop each layers first and import them, there's no problem.
If the higher layer has brush or transparent effects, it becomes worse.
Any help with this problem?
Thanks.

How was the original art created? Was the original RGB or CMYK? What is the resolution of the Photoshop file? Flash only works well with RGB and 72 pixel per inch resolution. If your original art is not set this way, then Flash will attempt to convert it as it imports it. Flash uses the sRGB color space. You'll get the best color translation if your Photoshop file is using this color preference.

Sudden problem with iTunes quitting - problem and solution

This is a fairly lengthy diatribe but it was driving me nuts and so hopefully will help someone else:
The Problem:
I have an XPS M1710 running Windows Vista. A couple of days ago all Apple programs started to malfunction, specifically iTunes, QuickTime. When I try to start iTunes it quits immediately and I get the message “A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available”. The same thing happens with Quicktime. When I go to Internet Explorer this works fine until I go to the Apple website and try to Download iTunes (to reinstall) or even to go to the Apple Support page, Then the Apple site seems to “force” IE to quit. The same thing happens when I use the Apple Safari Browser (works generally but quits on Apple iTunes or support site). I am not sure if it is relevant but we bought some iTunes songs online in the last couple of days using another laptop. That machine is still working fine as are two other laptops in the house re iTunes (they are Windows XP Dells, my machine is Windows Vista). I received an email receipt on my XPS for the purchases in the usual fashion. I can open it, but when I click the links to the iTunes site it doesn’t work (does work using other computers).
I have performed 2 system restores (to 2 and 4 weeks ago – long before the current problem) but this did not help. I have uninstalled iTunes – but even so still could not directly download the iTunes setup.exe from Apple. I did eventually get it from a third party link. Using the downloaded file I reinstalled iTunes but exactly the same problems persist. On one occasion I let the “A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available” dialogue box sit for a while – the system identified some Apple updates needed which I downloaded and installed (in fact I had done these probably a week or so ago anyway but the system restore would have reverted that). This still did not fix the problem.
Today I phoned XPS support. I was initially told to leave my number and someone would call me back. 2 hours later no-one had so I phoned again and got someone who suggested doing a full scan disk (ie by getting into diagnostics at startup by pressing F12). I did this – no problems found. The person had also suggested trying to access iTunes using a different logon account. I switch on “guest” account and tried from there but the same problem persisted.
I have checked Windows Defender and Windows Firewall and as far as I can see iTunes is allowed to access the internet. No sign that it is deliberately blocked. As far as I can tell from the Windows updater the system is up to date (as it was when the problem first happened, and not fixed by rolling back many updates via the system restores).
I have run a full Virus check using Kaspersky (with latest updated database) and nothing was found.
So, no matter what I try, my computer is suddenly blocking everything to do with iTunes (and Quicktime), including Apple’s own support site. The failure of iTunes or QuickTime to launch happens whether or not I am connected to the Internet at the time. All other programs seem to be working.
I would be very appreciative if you could help. I have been unable to find any online solution, although one person may have had a similar problem, no resolution was evident.
The solution:
I have only just now solved the problem (two weeks down the track). The Dell technician that I spoke to over the phone tried hard but we could not get the issue solved completely, although the problem with accessing the iTunes website we did solve by turning off some internet explorer add-ons. As it turned out the problem was with QuickTime. The clue was that although I had attempted to uninstall iTunes + Quicktime many times the QuickTime component never disappeared. So when I reinstalled iTunes + QuickTime (which I did many times) the problem remained. After again uninstalling iTunes + QuickTime (by going to control panel, selecting iTunes and uninstall, then QuickTime and unintstall in the usual way, and realising that QuickTime did not uninstall properly, I then selected QuickTime and chose the "repair" option at the top of the control panel dialogue box instead of uninstall. After that I was then able to open QuickTime properly, and then when I reinstalled iTunes it worked! This had been driving me nuts, and I was on the verge of re-installing the operating system. Can I suggest that you enter this solution into your database for future reference.

I was wondering if you ever fixed this problem? Today I went to open itunes and it started installing it and said it couldn't access the file ja.lproj/ea0423.rtf which would be the Japanese language version. I just wanted to know if I should do what was suggested to you or if that didn't work.

Problem with filling up vector

Hello,
i'm having a problem with the following code; when i try to fill up the vector, it overwrites the previous values with the new, so the when i add the second item, the first item becomes the second too. So when i return the vector, all values are similar (the last).
public Vector getClients(){
Database singleton = Database.getDatabase();
User user=new User();
Vector clients = new Vector();
try{
singleton.openConnection();
ResultSet rs = singleton.getResultSet("SELECT * FROM tblClients");
while(rs.next()){
user.setNaam(rs.getString("naam"));
               user.setVoornaam(rs.getString("voornaam"));
               user.setNickname(rs.getString("nickname"));
               user.setEmail(rs.getString("email"));
               user.setPaswoord(rs.getString("paswoord"));
System.out.print("user added:" + user.getNickname() + "\n" );
clients.add(user);
System.out.println(user);
singleton.closeConnection();
}catch(SQLException sqle){
sqle.getMessage();
sqle.printStackTrace();
System.out.print(clients.size() + " users added\n");
return clients;
}

You are always adding the same user-Object to the Vector.
You should put the command
user=new User();inside the while-loop to have different objects for different users.

Problem with 'Filling Space' described in Tim's Blog

Dear Experts,
I am using the Invoice Template described in the excellent Blog by Tim Dexter (Anatomy of a Template) to produce my own version. However, I am having problems with the 'Filling Space' described here: http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2007/03/anatomy_of_a_template_ii_heade.html
My template is almost identical to the example, when I import XML data where there is only one record, the Filling Space does not pad out with enough empty rows so that the Total table is not at the bottom of the page, aligned with the watermark that I have. The code in the 'Filling Space' field is as in the Blog:
<?if:not(count($invLines) mod $lpp=0) and ($start+$lpp>count($invLines))?><?for-each:$invLines?><?if:position()<$lpp - (count($invLines) mod $lpp)?>
If the number of records is greater than half a page or more, then the padding is correct. This is even if, say on the third page there is just one record. Therefore, it seems the padding does not work if the number of records are less than half a page in total.
Is this correct and does anyone have a solution - would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Mark

"If the number of records is greater than half a page or more, then the padding is correct. This is even if, say on the third page there is just one record. Therefore, it seems the padding does not work if the number of records are less than half a page in total."
This statement is wrong.
Leave the if conditions logic,
This is how it works,..
xml contains 43 rows...
each page you need 10 rows..
after every 10th rows [using position mod 10 ,] , you put a page break...
if the mod returns greater than 0, that means row filler has to come into effect now.
what is the logic now to have row fillers is , 10 - 3 [position mod 10] , comes to 7... so seven blank rows should be inserted..
this is how , it works...
so the statement, saying, less than half of page, or something, wont come into this :).

Sudden problem with Flash Player right now?

Hello,
we're currently got a problem with our Flash video player suddenly stopped working, just this evening. We havent touched it anything in a few days, and now suddenly our player does not start. The debug-version of the player outputs this:

WS2012 Standard R2 with Essentials sudden problem with Server Manager, Essential Dashboard and other services

Hi all,
I have a problem with my Windows Server 2012 R2 with Essential installed. When I try to run Server Manager the server manager window doesn't appear and the same thing applies for starting the essentials dashboard. This leads to that some of the features doesn't
work properly like remote web access, client backup and so on. When I check the Services a lot of services haven't even started. Trying to manually start for example Windows Server Essentials Management Services gives me following error message:
"Windows could not start the Windows Server Essentials Management Services on Local Computer. Error 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start"
What can be wrong here? I haven't done anything to the server that could start these problems. This started all of a sudden.
Thank you all in advance for any help.
EDIT:
I rebooted my server in safe mode and I tried to run SFC /Scannow which stops at 84% and gives me following message:
"Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation."
I also tried to run "DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth". This did not help either. It completes the operation but nothing changes. The problem is still there.
I thought that my server backups were OK and that this problem would be gone by restoring the C: drive with backup image. The problem is that all my good backups was rewritten with new backups that could not take backup of the C: drive for some reason. Now
I need to solve this problem without reinstalling the whole operating system.
EDIT:
I have also completed the chkdsk C: /r command and now the SFC /Scannow command can be completed, with notification that some files could not be fixed. I have attached the sfcdetail.txt file which points out that
"tsgclean.exe" cannot be repaired. What has that file to do with my WS2012 problems...
2015-01-04 03:12:54, Info CSI 00000477 [SR] Cannot repair member file [l:24{12}]"tsgclean.exe" of Microsoft-Windows-TSProxy-EdgeAdapter,

Hi,
Did you remember any operation which you had done before this issue occurred? For examples, install any update,
install any third-party application or any other? Just a confirmation, thanks for your understanding.
For those problematic services, please open services’ Properties and navigate to
Dependencies tab, then check if all system components which this service depends on run as normal.
In addition, please open Event Viewer and check if find relevant events. Meanwhile, please follow the path:
%programdata%\Microsoft\Windows Server\Logs and check Dashboard log file if find more clues.
By the way, when you run
sfc /scannow command completely, did you open Server Manager or Dashboard again? Any difference?
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu
Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help and unmark them if they provide no help. If you have feedback for TechNet Support, contact [email protected].
Hello Justin,
Regarding the third-party applications:
I have not installed any third-party application that could cause this problem. All my third-party applications that are installed on the WS2012 R2 are confirmed working well with the operative system and are installed at the time when I hadn't these problems.
I cannot say anything about windows update because that is something that I update once in a week after checking that no user is reporting any issues. I have learned my leason with windows update when I had Surface Pro 2, that was a dissaster.
Regarding the Windows Updates:
Anyway, I tried to remove all the windows updates before as well (not the security updates) down to 5th December which is the time when I know that my server worked well. Only two updates could not be removed (KB3012199 and KB2989647). I don't
know if these two updates can cause any problem?
Regarding the problematic services:
For example: Checking the properties for "Windows Server Essentials Management Service" -> It is dependable on
"1. Active Directory Domain Services" and "2. Windows Server Essentials Provider Registry Service".
No 1 is running but not no 2. If I try to start no 2 service it will give me the same message as before:
"Windows could not start the Windows Server Essentials Management Services on Local Computer. Error 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start"
Regarding the Logs:
I have uploaded Dashboard log files which are created after 5th December to my dropbox account: Link
Regarding the SFC command:
Of course, when the SFC command was completed but with error that it could not repair
tsgclean.exe I tried to start the essentials dashboard and WS2012 server manager with no luck.
What about the error message? I looked up that file in the explorer and it is located in folder "C:\Windows\WinSxS\amd64_microsoft-windows-tsproxy-edgeadapter_31bf3856ad364e35_6.3.9600.16384_none_2ec8d374a0ac5606"
Why can't it be repaired and what kind of file is that?

Problems With Dual Layers Break Points

I have 3 G5 Macs all without intell chip sets. I have tried this with all 3 Macs so lets take the newest one of the 3. Its running on mac osx version 10.4.11 Processer and is 4x2.5 ghz power pc g5 with hl-dt-st dvd-rw gwa-416sb. I can burn single DVD'S all day long, but the problem starts with dual layers. I am using verbatim DVD+R DL. I have one movie which is 2 hours and 36 minutes it burns fine when I burn a single layer, however when I try to build and format a dual layer I get that message window: formatting failed (its says formatting was not successful, the image exceeds the max allowed size for a dual layer configuration.) That is on automatic breakpoint. I have tried inputting in my own break point no matter where I put it the same message window appears. I am using DVD SP 4.1.2 also on FCP 5.1.4. I also tried buring dual layers on Sony DRX A10 UL-T all was working fine last year. I cant figure out why this has changed. Any suggestions will be helpful and appreciated. Sincerely Bob.

Welcome to the boards
Since you are using a Dual Layer Disc, there has to be a break point where it crosses over from Layer 0 to Layer 1, if you have no Chapter Markers at all (or a limited number of Markers, none of which fall near the point which is a bit more than half the size of the assets you will get an error that a Layer is the wrong size.
What you do is
1.) Set up markers in the areas where your would guesstimate the Layer Break(s) should be
2.) Build the project (but not format)
3.) Format a Disc (in the dialog that comes up, click on advanced tab, then where it says break point, use the pulldown which will have all valid breakpoint markers dark/black, while non-valid Layer Break Markers will be faded) If no marker is black there is no marker in the right place, regardless of you use automatic or not.
If the message is not for a layer issue as above (meaning one of the two layers exceeds the permissable size) then it can be an encoding rate issue. 2 Hours and 36 Minutes on a DL should be about 6.9 Average with AC3 audio @ 192. Even then it may be too close depending on menus and the rest. If using uncompressed audio or higher settings for video, could be the problem.

Serious and Sudden Problem with Z10 NEED HELP PLEASE

I have a z10, one of the first that came out in Toronto (if it makes a
difference), a couple of hours ago I came across a serious and sudden
problem.
I was able to swipe left and right between pages of apps, even drop down
from the top, but I cannot open anything, not even make a call or settings
options.
Any time I try to, for a split second it looks like its about to load
something then nothing. (image slides to the right quickly and goes back on
every attempt)
So I first did a reset, same problem, then I did a battery pull (about 15 minutes) and problem presisted.
I tried through USB to do a backup on blackberry manager and perhaps do a
re-install of everything, however when I was prompted for the password of
my device on my PC it kept telling me it was an incorrect password (I use
this blackberry on my computer 4-7 days a week, twice a day sometimes for a
year and I have never miss typed my password nor have i changed it)
After trying everything to make sure the first letter maybe was upper/lower
case, even my other possible phone password, nothing worked..
On the 5th failed attempt my phone prompted me to type 'blackberry', which
i did, then i typed my password on my phone which i type in about 15 times
a day becuase I set my phone to a 5 minute lock and still said it was incorrect.... I am no on 9/10 attempts and lost
for options.
Please if anyone can give me any suggestions, or even how to backup my phone
and whipe it now, or I have an earlier backup form 4 months ago that I
wouldnt mind going back to in worst case scenario.
Thank you for your help in advance,
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Sorry, no I haven't experienced that. It could be from an app you downloaded but that's just a guess. Wiping the device will tell us a lot. If the device still doesn't work you'll want to reload the OS using BB Link. if it still doesn't work after that then warranty support will be necessary through Rogers.

Sudden problems with image behaviors, javascript on Yahoo servers

I have been posting my website with Yahoo Small Business for 10 years and have never had a server-side issue (to my knowledge). Until now.
It should first be pointed out that all my sites are basic HTML, constructed using Dreamweaver 8 on an old Sawtooth PowerMac that runs OS X.3.8. I am behind the times and know it.
I have a 2011 iMAC, but can't afford to upgrade my imaging software. If adobe cared anything about aspiring designers, they would come down to earth with the pricing (why should current students, educators and private business be given such a massive advantage in pricing?). Sorry, I'm just being truthful. I do not use style sheets (though it would be helpful to learn since the web is run by them now).
Recently, I completely redesigned my personal website. When I tested it on my old mac, everything functioned as desired. When tested on my new mac, everything functioned as desired. When viewed online after uploading to the server, the page appears to load in full, but none of the image behaviors work. Correction, the "mailto:" link works, but it was assigned in the property inspector rather than the behaviors inspector. So I have no rollovers and no operative links beyond email.
I sent the site files to a friend so he could check the site. He posted it to the server he uses and all the functions on the page work correctly. This is where I came to suspect that the problem is with the Yahoo servers and not my coding.
Here is the link to the page that does not work correctly:
http://www.boughnermultimedia.com
Here is the link to the page that does work correctly:
http://www.ericsearsandeyes.com/fboughner
In Safari, I checked the error console and the following message appears for all java script behaviors:
ReferenceError: Can't find variable:
If someone here could check my source code and let me know where Yahoo is having problems with my code, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Your code is corrupted. If you view source in browser, you'll see your code is compressed into one long line. This will surely cause JavaScripts to fail.
Your friend's version works because the code is not compressed.

Sudden problem with lxde panel

im not sure what i did, but this problem seems to have popped up out of nowhere......when i start lxde, the panel keeps flashing, cant click on anything, wondering whats going on with it, if anyone knows

sorry i cant be more usefull at the moment. im not near the machine i have with LXDE
Wiping the config file and re-configuring seems to solve this problem. At least, once I fixed it I have not seen it come back again.
I did this also when I had problems with the menu not working and causing my panels to reset.
So far a great fix. Now panels are back to normal. I will edit if problem shows itself again.

Problem with Fill tool in Windows 7 Paint

I've seen variations on this question (such as http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itprogeneral/thread/8afa9277-686a-44e0-b488-e5bee4611cb5/ ),
but none seem to address the specific problem I'm having; namely, that the Fill tool in MS-Paint is disabled and remains that way, no matter what I do. If I open a GIF for editing, no Fill tool. If I select a bounded area, no Fill tool. If
I Select All, no Fill tool.
I'm trying to modify a button face by changing the default color to a gray tone, to produce a "disabled" version. Seems to me this should be the easiest thing in the world to do, but I jest cain't. Ideas?

Hi,
Do you mean that the Fill with color is grayed out in MS paint?
You may check the following:
1. Try the
system restore to go back to a previous status and check the result.
To restore system will preserve all the software and files before the previous restore point. And all of your private date will be preserved.
2. Run
System File Checker tool and see how it works.
