Weird things happening with photoshop layer duplication

Hi there
I'm running PS 2014.2.2 on Mac OS 10.10.2
I am trying to duplicate some type layers from one file to another - I highlight the layers in File 1, right click to 'duplicate layers' and select file 2. The layers appear in file 2 in the layer palette but are not on the file - I have checked to see if they are behind another layer and double clicked on the 'T' icon to see if I can select the type. I have switched off all other layers and the duplicated type layers are definitely not there. Just for good measure I dragged and dropped the layers and this does work. I have also tried making a copy of File 2 to see if the file itself was corrupted - this doesn't work either. Finally, I have tried duplicating other layers from File 1 to File 2 - this DOES work. Finally finally, I created a totally different type layer and tried copying that - this doesn't work!
I have uninstalled PS via CC and re-installed (not checking 'remove prefs*) - problem persists.
Anyone got any bright ideas?
Martin

Genius - you may the rest of the day off!!
I, on the other hand, am a complete idiot. File 1 is 1500px deep and File 2 is 1000px. Duplicating layers in this way places the layers EXACTLY in the position they were in the original - in this case 300px below the canvas. Revealing all - weel, reveals all
A thousand thanks
Martin

Weird things happening with volume

When I have my headphones in and I'm listening to music the volume keeps turning itself up to its max, I then really struggle to turn it down using the volume buttons on the side of the phone, its like I am fighting it as it keeps trying to increase (weird I know).
Not only that, you know when you increase the volume and the ringer symbol appears and you can move the volume up and down? This keeps appearing on its own and it won't go until I decrease the volume, sometimes when I've done it the same thing happens with the music volume I'm fighting it and it keeps increasing!
I've tried a reset and updated software etc, I've even changed the case the phone is in but nothing has fixed it.

Yes. YES.
I tought I was the only one going mad. I totally agree with you.
The output level is way too high. This also results in a poor resolution in the lower range of the output level, resulting in (quantization) noise. Very annoying.
The only advantage of this powerful headphones output is that the level on max output is comparable to line level, so when you plug it into an amplifier/receiver, the level is comparable to any other line level source.
Let's hope it is a software/driver issue which can be fixed... I liked my old PB G4 better in this department...

Weird thing happening with my iCal

A weird thing is happening with my iCal, I don't know if it's a bug... Today I was printing the months of September and October with all my appointments, and when I was checking October I have noticed that 14th was printed as Saturday and as Sunday too, and 15th became Monday, 16th became Tuesday, and so on.
But in my computer screen the calendar was correct: 14 Saturday, 15 Sunday, 16 Monday, etc.
I cannot figure out what could be happening and how to solve this.
Any idea?
Any help will be appreciated.
PowerMac G4 1.5 AGP Graphics Mac OS X (10.4.7) 1 GB RAM

Today a friend of mine said that he had a similar problem with iCal when printing the month of October, and that he fixed this by changing the Time and Zone setting in System Preferences. When he changed the setting from Sao Paulo, Brazil to Buenos Aires, Argentina (the both have the same time zone) the problem was solved.
Today I did this and my problem dissapeared too. But I would like to know why is this happening.

Weird things happening with Lion

Since I installed Lion I noticed that some applications became slower... when I open a file in Word and other applications, for example, that file opens together with the last file I worked in the application. How do I get rid of this?
There's a delay to open pages in Safari; I noticed that Safari became slower. And the system inicialization is slower too. Is that normal?

...when I open a file in Word and other applications, for example, that file opens together with the last file I worked in the application.
That behavior is part of the auto-save and resume functions that Lion uses.
To turn off the auto-open of last docs, go to System Preferences > General and uncheck the "Restore windows..." item in the 'Number of recent items' section.
In general, after updating to Lion the first time you run an app it will load slower than previously; this includes loading the OS at startup. After that first time slowness their opening should return to normal.
If you have not repaired permissions in a while, it would not hurt to do so.

Weird thing happened with my mail.app that I want it to do again

a couple of days ago, I ws using my mail.app and I looked at my messages and there was one message from amazon.com when there should have been 3. It said I have 3 messages from amazon.com & when I clicked on it the 3 messages appeared like they were filed away there. I want to do it again or at least figure out what it was

This is called organize messages by thread.
The following was copied from Mail Help:
A "message thread" is the chain of replies in an email conversation. Mail can help you quickly identify all of the messages in a thread by highlighting them in the color of your choice and grouping them together under the most recent message, sorted by date. Even if someone changes the subject line, Mail keeps the messages grouped together with the other messages in the thread. You can view them together and file them or delete them quickly.
To highlight all messages in a thread in the same color when you select one message in the thread, choose Mail > Preferences and click Viewing. Select "Highlight related messages using color."
To select a highlight color, click the color well in the Viewing pane of Mail
Preferences and choose a highlight color in the Colors panel.
To group your email by thread, select a mailbox and choose View > "Organize by Thread."
To see all the messages in all threads, choose View > Expand All Threads.
To see all the messages in a specific thread, click the triangle to the left of the thread or select the thread and press the Right Arrow key.
To collapse all threads, choose View > Collapse All Threads.
To collapse a single thread, click the triangle to the left of the thread or select the thread and press the Left Arrow key.
To step through messages in a thread when you have organized your mailbox by thread, choose View > Select > "Next Message in this Thread" or "Previous Message in this Thread." Or, use the Up Arrow and Down Arrow keys.
When you select a collapsed thread, the message content area of the Mail window shows the subject of the thread, the originator of the thread, the date the thread was started, the number of unread messages, the total number of messages, and a list of the messages, including which ones came with attachments.
Mail uses special headers in each email message to determine if a message belongs to the same thread. If these headers are not present, the subject is used to determine if a message belongs to the thread.

I have several layers for this image: Background, Moon, Tree, Grass and Clouds. When I try to use the Move tool to move the Moon, the tool jumps to the Tree layer. The same thing happens with the other layers as well (except the background layer). How

I have several layers for my image: Background, Moon, Tree, Grass and Clouds. When I try to use the Move tool to move the Moon, the tool jumps to the Tree layer. The same thing happens with the other layers as well (except the background layer). How can I keep the move tool from jumpimg to the Tree layer?

1. Pre-select (highlight) the layer to move in the Layers panel. or-
2. [ALT+Right mouse click] to select the wanted layer in the image window.
and maybe
3. Set the PS option to "Auto-select" a layer with cursor hover. (can be very confusing!)

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

The missing apps could have been done by setting the Restrictions that can hid those apps. If the backup was made with those retrictions set the the Restrictions are also restored.

Safari 5.1.5 shows .pdf web pages as black. The same thing happens with Firefox. Does this have something to do with an AdobePDF plug-in?

Safari 5.1.5 shows .pdf web pages as black. The same thing happens with Firefox, at least with the few pages I've checked. Does this have something to do with an AdobePDF plug-in? I recently had to restore my system from Time Machine backup.

The following appears to have I solved my problem with Safari 5.1.5, 5.1.6 and 5.1.7. I also have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 installed.
Follow mbuffy's post dated May 10, 2012 directly above, and
Do NOT allow Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 to perform the "repair" the missing Adobe PDFViewer Plug-in when the window pops up and offers to repair Adobe PDFViewer Safari Plug-in. If Adobe does the "repair," then I can not view .pdf web pages in Safari or Firefox.
FYI, cmmartin0275 posted the following on Sep 8, 2011 in a discussion of "Missing PDF Pluggin" at https://discussions.apple.com/message/16119130#16119130:
"Just FYI to anyone with this problem...this is straight from Adobe's website.
"Adobe Reader plug-in and Acrobat plug-in are not compatible with the Safari 5.1 browser, which will ship with Mac OS X 10.7 and for 10.6 in July. Adobe Reader and Acrobat will continue to work as standalone applications on Mac OS X 10.7 and 10.6, and will render PDF documents outside of the browser. In addition, Safari 5.1 renders PDF documents natively. However, the Adobe Reader and Acrobat plug-ins will not function as expected in LiveCycle and Acrobat workflows that require either plug-in to render PDF documents in Safari 5.1."
They also go on to say they hope to have a solution or work around before the end of 2011..."
Thanks for the help.

MacBook won't turn on 98% of the time, help! Very weird things happening!

Hi there, any advice you have for me would me much appreciated. What happened with my Macbook is all very strange.
So, the morning before last, I was on my Macbook (which I bought in 2006 so it's on the older side, but otherwise worked great) and it was running low on battery. I was late for work so didn't plug it in before leaving. I left it open. However I have no roomates, pets, etc.
When I get home that evening, I plugged in the powercord and it wouldn't turn on. After trying a million different things, like taking the battery out, reseting the PRAM, etc, there were a few times where I got it to turn on, went through the log on screen, and was able to use my computer like normal for about 5 minutes or so, and then it would just shut off.
There were also many times when I would pres the power button and the screen would flash like it was about to turn on, and then it would make the noise that the computer makes when you're typically on 0% battery and it shuts down. Later in the night, when the computer was closed but plugged into the power outlet, it was by itself (meaning I wasn't pressing anything) making the noise that it was restarting. It made that noise about every 30 seconds for a few minutes. Weird.
It was also doing inconsistent things re: the sleep light. At times it was on, including when the computer was closed, and sometimes it would go from on to off. Also, the battery/charing was doing weird things. The few times I was able to get past the log in screen it showed that it was at 0%, even though the light on the adapter was green and it had been plugged in for a long time. Another time the battery icon had an X through it. I have 2 different batteries and neither one of them seemed to make a difference.
Also, yesterday I brought my computer into the Apple store and they put in a battery that was charged and it didn't seem to make a difference either. One more weird thing: when I did get the computer on in the spotlight bar it said it was indexing??
Anyways, I'm just confused/upset, etc. because I literally did nothing to the computer. I didn't drop it/spill on it, etc. I'm also frustrated because the guy at the genius bar litteraly only spent like 5 minutes looking at before he said i was SOL. He said it was the "main board" that was the problem. One of the things like I'm just confused by is if the main board really does need to be replaced, then how was I able to get the computer on and working those few times???
Sorrry this is so long, any help would be awesome!! I just don't have the money to buy a new computer, and I'm not sure it will be worth it for me to pay $300 to have it fixed when my computer's already pretty old and other things haven't been working for awhile (like my disc drive, camera). THANK YOU!!!

EmadJamal,
the battery won’t melt because of long connection to the AC charger, although that has the potential of reducing the battery’s life.
Do you have access to a second 60 W AC charger to test with your MacBook Pro, or access to a second 13-inch MacBook Pro against which your AC charger could be tested?

Weird things happen in Edit view...

Some (but NOT all)of my photos do weird things when you Double-Click them to get into Edit view. Most of my photos zoom in to their appropriate sizes and are viewed 'normally', however, other photos initially come up in their normal zoomed size then in a second of two, zoom in again several times larger than they should be, and the colors will pop your eyes out, like a reverse negative or something and the photos gets all 'chunky' or 'blocky'. Fortunately, only a small number of my photos zoom in wildly like this.
Anyone seen this, have a clue what causes it and most importantly, can it be fixed to STOP doing this?
Thanks

Well, I used to see this problem way back in the v7 days of the purple app. It's not an FCP exclusive problem, though I have seen it happen one time with Final Cut.
Glad to help you solve this one, Jamie. You can help others who come to this thread later, by marking the Helpful & Solved posts in the thread. That way, when others are searching for solutions to this problem, they can scan down quickly and easily to those posts, and see the yellow and green stars.
I've posted this request on a number of threads, both those I've helped or solved, and those I had no helpful contributions for. I'm just trying to help make the new forum as usable as ut can be.
