Suddenly I cannot select just one file in a folder, all of them get selected at the same time.  Happens in Lightroom also when scrolling through the filmstrip. what did I do?

My Mac Pro is acting wonky all of a sudden. This all began after someone in my family spilled water on the keyboard and tried to clean it up while still turned on. I bought a new keyboard but now I cannot select just one file in a folder, all get selected. Same thing happens in Lightroom 3 when editing in the filmstrip mode, I cannot just select one photo, they all get selected. Plus, after awhile I cannot type in small letters either, just capitals. If I restart it is ok for about 15 minutes then the problems start. I did a reinstall of the OS but it is still happening. I zapped the pram, fixed permissions, etc but no luck. I am on a 2x2.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon machine with 900 gigs unused. Any suggestions? 

Try also resetting smc.
Also check your keyboard preferences.  And just to possibly reset some keyboard related caches and prefs you might go through the "Change Keyboard Type..." (Keyboard tab in the Keyboard preferences).

    You want Photoshop or Elements and use the ACR plugin. Lightroom is the wrong application for you; square peg in a round hole and all that.

  • How to include several PDF documents into just one file?

    I have a Word document with 6 pages that I saved in PDF.
    I wanted to transform the entire document in JPEG (JPG) immage, so that I could use it in other tools, such as Facebook for example.
    The problem is that using Adobe Photoshop it opens and saves page by page.
    Can you give me s solution or hint?

    Thank you!
    I already saved all pages as .pdf w/ Acrobat and have all 6 pages saved in
    .jpg, using Photoshop.
    Problem is that I want to post the whole text in my Facebook page, and to
    have it in six pieces is not quite readable...
    Thanks anyway and have a joyful Xmas!

  • I have adobe X1 and suddenly I cannot open my adobe files

    Please help, I have Adobe reader x1 and suddenly I cannot open my adobe files that I had received and saved.

    pwillener,
    I feel Tatiehead and I have the same problem.  If I try to open adobe reader 11 I get:  Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe' Make sure you typed the name correctly, and try again.
    If I try to open "AcroRd.exe from the Adobe program folder I get the same message.  If I open a .pdf file with notepad I get the same looking thing Tatiehead gets.. a bunch of gibberish.  I have uninstalled, with windows, the cleaner tool, and a program called Revo uninstaller.  I have used ccleaners registry cleaner to remove anything of Adobe Reader it could find. When I reinstall Adobe I get the same message.  I have tried these in different combinations several times to no avail.
    The only fix I was able to make was to install [reference to crapware removed].  I was able to read my .PDF files fine then.  That was not what I wanted but after spending hours trying to find a fix for Adobe Reader that was what I accepted.
    I believe Adobe will, at some time find the answer and I will keep looking here for something to show up but for now that is the only thing I can find for my customer.

    Suddenly I cannot move messages to files by grabbing them with the mouse. I have used the programme for years but this has only happened once before. I have restarted my computer but it still does not work. I think it is a vital and necessary function.

    If you do not want to use passcodes, why don't you just go to Settings > General > Passcode Lock and delete the passcode and set the lock to OFF.  That will eliminate the problems all together.

  • I just updated my iphone to ios7 and I keep getting stuck at the 'Set up your iPhone' screen. I click 'Restore from Itunes Backup', but it only ends up restarting after restoring and fails to get past the 'Set up your iPhone' screen. Any ideas?

    Normally, I would suggest restoring the iPad and uninstall and reinstall iTunes but you have done both of those things - more times than you ever imagined!
    Have you thought about turning auto syncing off?
    Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
    If you do this you can backup the iPad right away before it syncs. You may want to go into all of the iTunes tabs and just make sure that all of the current content on the iPad is selected to sync before you actually do sync.
    This doesn't solve the problem, but it would prevent the automatic sync and erasing content. Hopefully, in the next few days- when iOS 5 is released - you will also be relieved of this weird iPad behavior - since the iOS devices are supposed to become PC free.
    BTW - and this is no excuse for what you are experiencing, but I have found that some of the game apps that I had on my iPad turned out to be quite troublesome and after I removed them, my problems went away. I know that is almost sacrilege with regard to the Angry Birds addiction .... But I'm just saying ...

    Thanks for the reply. The Itunes trouble shooting in Itunes help. I don't get an error message, it just states can't see ipod like if it wasn't plugged in. I do get an error message on a few of the songs when sync that say error 50, and state that they can't be loaded to ipod. The weird thing is that I can load all of my libary except the latest 3 albums. They are in my libary but they won't load. I'm not sure but it seems like it started when the cloud came about from amazon which is where I buy most of my music.

Is it any solution for recovery the filew? I missed lots of important files , plz help me
    Tnx alot

    Hey Eric,
    Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
    Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.

    You can have a different receiving email in the Messages app on each device : Settings > Messages > Receive At . I'm not sure that there is a different way to have the message only go to one device.

    Hi,
    Are you facing the issue with any pdf file?
    Please try updating Acrobat to 11.0.7 and check.
    You might also want to repair Acrobat and see.
