Unlocking groups keep layers locked

HI,
I'm running into this issue several times and it's really breaking my workflow.
When I lock a group and then unlock it, the layers within it remain locked.
I have this issue running Photoshop CS6 and CC on Mac OS X 10.9.1
It doesn't always happen.
Any suggestion?
Thanks!

I'm talking about all the layers within a group.
I think I just figured out what's the exact sequence that triggers the issue:
1. select two or more groups containing layers (everything is unlocked and the groups are collapsed)
2. lock the two or more groups
3. select one group and unlock it
4. the layers within this group stay locked.
If locking 3 groups at the same time and then unlocking 2 out of 3, the first is fully unlocked (also the layers inside are unlocked), while the second has the issue.

  • Is there any reason that my lock keeps unlocking in my network settings? Is there any way to keep it locked? It sure is inconvenient when I have to reboot to get back on the internet and re-lock that lock.

    Is there any reason that my lock keeps unlocking in my network settings? Is there any way to keep it locked? It sure is inconvenient when I have to reboot to get back on the internet and re-lock that lock.

    You could try changing the settings in System Preferences/Security & Privacy/General/Advanced/Require an Administator password to access locked preferences
    But this will affect all Preference settings.

  • Is there a way to import a group of layers in one project in to another project ?

    Hi all,
    I'm currently using After Effects 5... yes that is version 5, not CS5.
    I'm trying to figure out if I can import a group of layers and their applied Effects in to another project while keeping all the editable attributes and the positions of the imported layers with respect to one another.
    I see that I can import a AEP project file in to another project via IMPORT FILE, but that just brings the raw layers/files in to the project window and does not place the layers in the timeline with all of their positions, Effects and edited attributes, the way that I'd like.
    I also tried Pre-Composing the layers, but that does not leave them editable once a pre-comp has been made... it just makes the 7 layers that I want to import in to another project all one layer and does not leave them editable the way the the 7 layers are separately.
    In Adobe Premiere, there is an actual "IMPORT PROJECT" selection under IMPORT that allows me to import an entire project file in to another project and lets me place the imported project where I want in the new project timeline... that is what I'm trying to do in After Effects.
    I realize that there may be an easy way to do this in one of the newer versions of After Effects, and one might say, "just buy the new AE CS5", but I figured out allot of things on my own so far and I like After Effects 5 for what I'm doing now... maybe later on the newer version.
    Thanks for any input,

    Hi Andrew,
    No, the two threads that I wrote back to report finding that old 1999 plug-ins package that were removed were...
    Cannot find "Caustics" and "Wave World" Effects in After Effects downloads
    ...origianally at this link, but it is now gone and also missing from my "Discussions" list...
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/959158
    and
    Is there an underwater effect that can be produced in AE 4.1 ?
    ...originally at this link, and it is also gone and missing from my "Discussions" page...

    I had saved the links to those threads with bookmarks, but they were removed the day after I posted about finding those plug-ins.
    I wanted to get some info from earlier in the thread on one of those and when I went back they both were gone.
    I was able to find those two threads by doing a site-webcach search on Google to see if there was a snapshot of each thread in Google's cache... I did find shapshots of those two thread but they were taken the day that I first posted the questions before any replies or subsequent posts by me were posted.  Below are the Google cache links to those snapshots of those threads' pages, but as you'll be able to see, it only shows my original questions before all the replies by you and others on the forum and my final report of finding the plug-ins package...

    Having the Adobe forums Gestapo remove those threads is a little like burning old software books... meaning, I guess Adobe just doesn't want people discussing old software downloads, even though I did not post the actual link for the the old "AE 6.0 Bonus Plugin Pack" and "AE 5.5 Power Pack Plug-Ins" that I found.  I only reported back on those threads that I found the plug-ins packages after several lengthy Google searches.  Since those plug-ins packages were no longer available from Adobe, I thought it was quite a find to be able to track them down elsewhere after all this time.  They were 12 and 13 year old plug-ins packages, but they had been posted only in the last couple of years.
    Someone else on one of those threads had also told me that AE 6 plug-ins would not work in AE 5, but that turned out to not be true... I don't remember who that was... maybe that was the person who removed my threads because he/she didn't like having a thread that indicated that he/she was wrong.
    Anyway, thanks for your info again today... very, very helpful.

  • PS CS6: It'd be helpful to have the option to collapse or expand the nested groups and layers.

    PS CS6: It'd be helpful to have the option to collapse or expand the nested groups and layers all at once.  Autodesk Maya has a similar feature in it's outliner that allows for you to do this.

    And as Jeffrey Tranberry answered there:
    • Open/close all layer groups (folders) at the current level of hierarchy: Cmd-click the arrow next to the group - This is handy when you want to open/close, say, all the top-level groups without disturbing the open/closed state of any groups nested within them.
    • Open/close all layer groups nested within the current one: Opt-click the arrow next to the group - This is nice when you want to open/shut a bunch of nested groups, without affecting any that lie outside the target group.
    • Open/close all layer groups, period: Cmd-Opt-click the arrow next to a group So, to keep things simple: when in doubt, Cmd-Opt-click a group’s arrow and you’ll collapse/expand all groups.
    * On Windows please substitutes Ctrl for Cmd and Alt for Opt. .

  • The J2EE_ADMIN is keep getting locked

    Hello,
    The J2EE_ADMIN is keep getting locked for some reason.
    I unlock it and after a while it is locked again.
    No one is trying to login with it so it can't be locked due to multiple wrong logins.
    What can be the reason for that?

    Hi,
          Open Visual Administrator in  Cluster> Server>Services-->Security Provider
    Go to Runtime - tab and then User Management. Search for the user "J2EE_Admin" and double click on the user name to get the user management property sheet. There you can find "No password change required". If it is not checked, please check that one. Then that password wont expire for every deployment.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Pooja.

  • Background Layers Locked on all Images

    All of my images are coming up with background layers locked. This was not a conscious setting on my part. How do I unlock them?

    John,
    You should be able to use the Clone Stamp Tool even on a locked background layer.
    You're either doing something wrong you're not telling us, or you need to trash your Photoshop preferences.
    To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
    Next time, please give details on your version of Photoshop and the OS.  Also "use of the clone stamp tool will not change anything" is not nearly descriptive enough for us to figure out what you're doing or what is happening.

  • Unlocking items on layers and Unlocking layers

    I have files that come to me that have parts of layers locked with the Command+2 function and that also have layers locked.
    I have an AppleScript that will unlock layers but it doesn't unlock the other locked items.
    Can anyone supply an AppleScript that will do both?

    Use something like
    set locked of (every page item of document 1) to false

  • My friend took my phone and tried to guess my password to unlock it, and he locked me out of my phone for a minute, but when it unlocked and i tried to use my phone all of my apps, photos, all my data had been deleted. how can i get them back?

    As Ocean20 say, your only shot at recovering the photos and data is to restore from a backup (with iTunes if you took the backup with iTunes, through iCloud if you took the backup through iCloud).
    The erasure is to prevent your data from falling into the hands of somebody who takes your phone and eventually guesses your password. If you feel that the inconvenience caused by this feature and your friend outweighs the trouble that somebody could cause if they got possession of your contacts and other data, you can change this behaviour.

  • Photoshop CC 2014 hangs for nearly 15 seconds when using Layer Group Layers or Layer Palette Group from Layers commands.

    Photoshop hangs for nearly 15 seconds when using Layer > Group Layers or Layer Palette > Group from Layers commands. NOT on creating new group and creating layers and drag-n-dropping layers into group manually in Layer Palette. Got a UI design file with nearly 800 layers and lot of groups. This doesn't occur in smaller files. Using OS X Mavericks, Photoshop CC 2014.2.2, Mid 2014 15-inch Retina Macbook Pro.
    I understand that the solution would be just to cut the file into smaller files and design each UI view in a separate file but that would be painful. And it does not seem to be a very hard task to just group layers.

    Does the document also have a lot of layer comps?
    And can you post that document or send me a copy of it so we can see exactly why it is hanging?

  • Can't open a group of layers in Elements 13

    I am trying to open a group of layers in Elements 13 but get the following error message:  "you are attempting to open a group which is not supported in photoshop elements"  Then it prompts to simplify all the layers into one layer.  This is useless!!!  How do I get around this?  It is a simple enough feature and would think Photoshop Elements could handle it.  Yes, I have the full software version, not the trial version.

    The file is the following:  Corporate Business Card | GraphicRiver
    Do I have to purchase a creative cloud membership now?  I already spent $150 on Elements.  And that was money thrown away.
    Which membership would I have to get if that is the case?
