What happens to installation files when an installation fails.
Having just come from a Windoze platform my question is as follows: (MAC OS X Lion)
I tried installing Adobe Elements and I am now aware that the version is too old and not supported by Lion.
So the installation seemed to run to completion and it was only at the end that the system reported that the application could no be opened. What would have happened to the files that were written to the hard drive? Is Mac OS X clever enough to do a roll back? If not, how do I find where the files (if any), can be found.
Windows is normally quite horrible when it comes to uninstall and install failures and requireing the user to troll the registry to actually remove all traces of the app.
Any suggestions welcome.
I don't have Adobe Elements, but most apps that install outside of the Applications folder usually have an unistaller. Use that. Then get the current version that works with Lion and install it. Any same named items will get overwritten by the new one's installer.

Hey I am Brian, and I was wondering how Lightroom mobile works again as in when importing photos directly into iPad using the camera connection kit.? This is for IPad 2. I . Like when importing raw files. now I just did a photo shoot. and I just uploaded them into lightroom 5 on desktop. the raw files are being pushed as smart priviews acroos ipad and iphone. its kinda cool seeing cr2 file showing up on lightroom mobile. when its coming from lightroom 5. but what about coming from camera to ipad.?
I thought you can import a Raw plus jpeg into ipad and it shows up as a jpeg plus raw file. well its not doing that. shows up as just jpeg.
cant wait for next update of lighroom mobile.With this version of LR Mobile we not support the direct RAW import.

Understand NiK is discontinuing Capture NX2. Therefore would like to buy Aperture as host for image management. If I do purchase and import RAW files previously processed in NX2 into Aperture. Is old processing retained? Doubtful. Or is new processing required? Have an iMac with iPhoto 10 etc.

You can import the image files converted from RAW and edited by NX2 but they will no longer be RAW NEF files they will be non-lossy TIFF files or lossy JPEG.
Or you can import the original RAW NEF files into Aperture for Aperture to do the RAW conversion.
To my eyes/brain with the Nikon cameras I use (D2x, D100, D5100) I find that NX2 provides the most pleasing RAW conversions, but I still use Aperture for its great workflow.

What happened to dreamweaver file created in xp when opened in vista?
I created a dreamweaver site in CS4 on windows xp, but recently upgraded to vista home premium. After I downloaded dreamweaver on vista, and restored my files, the Design and Code view shows unreadable text or code on my homepage html file. All of the other html files are normal. Attached is a sample of what my home page file looks like in design or code view. What happened to my file?
Your attachment didn't attach. Not your fault; they frequently don't.
To check out this unreadable text issue, go to your Edit > Preferences > Fonts and make sure that the fonts that are chosen are available on your new vista system. That should help with errors in Code View. If you are having Design View unreadability (!) check the header of your page to make sure that there is a declaration like this one:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
It will appear right after the DOCTYPE declaration (in Code View).
It's pretty disappointing when a new system isn't actually BETTER right away! My sympathy.

Lion: What happened to "Dont Replace" when copying files?
Lion: What happened to "Dont Replace" when copying files?
That is such a MANDATORY option when copying files.
Ex: I want to copy my TV shows to a directory. Half of the TV shows are already in that directory. If I select REPLACE, then I have to WAIT for the duplicate files to overwrite. If I select KEEP BOTH, I end up with copies and it takes the same amount of time.
What gives?Apple removed it and the users here can't tell you why. Your best option is to send Apple feedback.

I use a desktop version of Lightroom and am wanting to move to the Cloud version. What happens to my files, etc., on my desktop when I download the cloud version? I don't want to lose my metadata, etc. If anyone out there knows, please let me know.
I just installed LR CC and am having trouble opening catalogs where I followed the instructions to upgrade. Just posted a question about it.
Discovered a problem when I went looking for some images that were not included in the most recent catalog. After opening up a couple of older ones and upgrading, I went back to the most recent and couldn't opening. Message says it is not writable. And also says it may be due to incorrect permissions. If you have any suggestions for this, I would love to hear them. -
my mac disk is full and i cant transfer files from Mac to USB. saying the format is not good, how can i change the format and what happened to the files i have on USB?
Once something similar happened to me. The external drives I had set up for FCP to use for some reason were not mounted, and FCP put all its render files on the main drive and I couldn't find them anywhere.
Go to applications, and control-click (and hold down) on your FCP icon; you should get a pop up menu that says "show package contents". Select that, select the "contents" folder, then the "mac OS" folder. See if your quicktime file is in there, or if you've got render files in the "render" folder or audio render files in the "audio render" folder that don't belong there.
That's where FCP sticks stuff when your documents FCP project folders are not available or when external drives you've selected aren't available. -
I saved an iMovie to DVD and now I can't find the original working files in iMovie Project library to make additional edits. What happened to the files? Thx!
Did you do the moving of the image file in the Finder or do you have a reference library as asked by Larry? In either case moving the files is a recipe for disaster as you've found out. You must either move the files back to their original locations or try to get those photos back into iPhoto as follows:
1 - Find the folder you moved the files into and COPY it to the Desktop.
2 - in iPhoto delete the photos that you're having the problems with as you normally would even though you can't see see them. Also delete all the photos that are in the folder you moved the other files into.
3 - drag the folder on the Desktop into iPhoto to import them as one event. If you get a duplicate warning I'd let it import the duplicate and use Duplicate Annihilator to find them so you can cull out the duplicate you don't want.
Other than that you might have to start over from scratch as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
1 - Move the existing library folder to the desktop
2 - Open the library package like this.
3 - Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
4 - Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.

What happens to my work when I cancel my subscription?
Assuming I have subscribed to Creative Cloud for some years, and some circumstance leads me to cancel my subscription, what happens to my work after cancellation. How do I open these native files (.indd, .ai, .psd) ?
If I am a subscriber to Creative Cloud, can I share native files with someone who has CS 6 or will the files be incompatible?Pauls Sloss the following information is available within the Creative Cloud FAQ - http://www.adobe.com/in/products/creativecloud/faq.html
Can the new CC applications export to CS6?
Many of the Creative Cloud desktop applications provide the ability to export files to the Creative Suite 6 version of that same application. This allows you to export your work to Creative Suite 6, which is available via a perpetual software license.
Adobe plans to continue to support the ability to export to Creative Suite 6 in applications where it is available when it ships.
New features added to the desktop applications after Creative Suite 6 may not be supported in the exported file, or supported by the Creative Suite 6 application.
Which CC applications support export to CS6?
The following applications support the ability to export to the CS6 versions of the application:
Photoshop
InDesign®
Illustrator
Flash® Professional
Dreamweaver®
Applications not listed here may not support exporting to Creative Suite 6, and may not do so in future releases.
New features added to the above list after Creative Suite 6 may not be supported in the exported file, or supported by the Creative Suite 6 application.
What happens if I decide to stop my membership?
You will continue to have access to free Creative Cloud member benefits, and if you saved your work to your computer you will continue to have access to those files. You will no longer have access to the Creative Cloud desktop applications or most of the services that are components of a Creative Cloud membership.
If you purchased an annual individual membership plan and you cancel after the first 30 days but before meeting the 12-month commitment date, you will be charged 50% of the remaining amount left on your contract.
What happens to my files in the cloud if I cancel my membership?
If you cancel your paid membership you will still have access to the free level of membership, which provides 2GB of storage. You will have a 90-day grace period to download your files to your local machine, and delete online files to get your cloud storage down to 2GB (or to purchase additional storage separately if you choose). If you leave more than 2GB of files in your cloud storage for more than 90 days, you may lose access to some or all of your files. -

Front Row is no longer supported. However, there are several applications that can do the same job for you (quite nicely, actually) and that work with ML. Try searching the Mac App Store. Also: there are uncountable threads about this over at the Front Row forum.

Your file is most likely toast, but still:
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster).
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.

What happens in EP technically when we click on some folder?
Hi Experts,
I have following question - what happens in EP technically when user clicks on some folder?
I just want to know the exact sequence of events that takes place - I know some of the events like the role of user is checked. Then system checks that what all pages, iviews, etc have been been assigned to folder. The system then finally displays the all objects under the folder.
But I want to know in depth what happens some thing at core programming level.
In fact in my project we have created 2 folder. Some iviews have been assigned to folder.
Suppose name of folders are A and B. We want to pass value 1 to SAP BW when A is selected. We want to pass value 2 to SAP BW when B is selected.
How we can do so?
Pls help.
ThanksHi Kedar,
Thanks for the help. In fact in my project we have created separate folders.
For some functionality we have created 5 iviews and assigned it to folder A.
For some functionality we have created 5 iviews and assigned it to folder B.
We have to pass Value Type = 1 to BW for iviews of folder A.
We have to pass Value Type = 2 to BW for iviews of folder B.
How this can be done? Please help.

I have synced an iPhone 4S with iCloud - I now have a 5C to replace it. What happens to my data when I retire the 4S - does it need the original device to save my data?
Welcome to the Apple community.
Once you have restored your new phone from the backup of your old phone and ensured that everything is working correctly, you should first turn off "find my phone" on the old phone and then erase it, before you get rid of it.
