When opening a saved project it comes up in an unusable state . . .

. . . all the panel windows are blank, including Layers/library/wireframe components, interactions, properties. The artboard is still there, and in one case one button was visible in the project, though not in the layers/library panel.
Tried this with both projects created directly in Catalyst, wireframe style, and in projects created from imported Photoshop image.
Looked for anyupdates to Catalyst to install & found none. Searched this forum also.
Any ideas folk? Thanks in advance.

Thanks, gnicolen, that does seem to be the workaround.
When I was troubleshooting I must have thought I saved one project when I hadn't, so when it came up incomplete I thought that was another symptom.
Still, I hope Adobe puts this on their "known issues" list and comes up with a fix.
By the way, your reply got my mind to working & I decided to go into the Windows file association list to see if maybe it wasn't set to recognize the .FXP format, but that wasn't the case. Windows does recognize FXP as a Catalyst project.

Office 2013 applications cannot be made to show the "Documents" folder when opening and saving files

(Windows Server 2012R2 and Windows 8.1 PRO)
We are redirecting the user's "Documents" folder to the network (using Folder Redirection). The OS hides this fact however, and most applications simply see the "Documents" folder when opening or saving files, including Office 2003.
Office 2013 however displays the actual path, which in this case is:
\\sever1\redirect$\username\documents
Even if you forcibly set the "Default local file location:" in the Options Save area to the 'Documents' folder in, say, Word, Word immediately converts the local path to the network path.
Is there anyway to get Office 2013 to follow the virtual path? All of other apps follow it and expose the users only to "Documents".
Thank you so much.

There's nothing in my FAQ concerning screen savers, so I'm unsure why you decided to take that approach. From your description, it looks like you only tried a few of the suggestions before throwing in the towel. That's fine, it's your call.
I don't have the problems you described with 10.4.7. Usually when folks have problems after an update, these are caused by either installing an update on an already-corrutped system or they've installed third-party applications or hardware that have been rendered incompatible by the update.
Before installing software updates, you may wish to consider the advice in my "Installing Software Updates" FAQ. Taking the steps therein before installing an update often helps avert problems and gives you a fallback position in case trouble arises.
Good luck!

HT4641 after modifying a document in Pages I found that there are horizontal lines across every line break when opened and saved it in DropBox. Does anyone know why?

after modifying a document in Pages ON MY IPAD AIR I found that there are horizontal lines across every line break when opened and saved it in DropBox. Does anyone know why?

Thanks a lot for your swift response. And sorry if it was a bit too hectic to go through my detailed query (which I did because it was misunderstood when I asked previously). As I've mentioned above, I was informed that updating to 5.0.1 would '''require''' me to '''delete''' the current version and then install the new one. And doing so will involve losing all my bookmarks. I guess I should have been more specific and detailed there. By losing, I didn't mean losing them forever. I'm aware that they're secured in some place and deleting and installing the software doesn't harm its existence. What I meant that if I install the new version, I'd have to delete the old one. And after installing the new version, I'd have to transfer them (bookmarks) back from wherever they are. Get it? When it updated from 3.6.9 to 3.6.13, and from 3.6.13 to 3.6.18, I didn't need to follow that process. They were already present on their own.
BTW, I'm having no problems with 3.6.18 but after learning about the existence of version 5.0.1, I'm a bit too eager to lay my hands over it.
Thanks for your help; hope this wasn't extremely long.

Problem occurring when opening and saving files in AI SC5 with Windows 7

Hi, I ‘am a Graphic Designer and first time working in UAE Windows 7 is basically the only OS here. My PC is:
HP Elite 7000
Intel® Core™ i5 CPU 2.67GHz
4GB RAM
32-bit
Now to the problem, not that knowledgeable in IT stuff so here goes:
1. Problem occurring when opening and saving files in AI SC5 with Windows 7. (You will actually see a “Not Responding” word coming out while opening and saving files, whether small or large files)
2. Locked layers occasionally are moved accidentally.(Working on multiple layers is normal so we need to lock it specially the once on top. But there are times I still manage to select locked layers)
3. After typing and locking the text, pressing “V” for the arrow key shortcut is still added to the text that is locked. (After typing I lock the text layer with my mouse and Press “V” to activate the arrow key… yes the arrow key is activated but the text is still typing the actual keyboard pressed)
I’ve only use the brand new PC and installer for a month now. Not sure if this is compatibility issues or something else I’m not aware of.
Thanks in advance to people that will reply.
Cheers!!!

Well I’m still wondering if it is compatibility issues because I’m also having problem with Photoshop CS5. These 3 are all bought at the same time (PC, Illustrator and Photoshop installers). The problem I’m having in Photoshop is not that too important, every time I Ctrl+O to view files, all PSD are shown in white paper like icons, no preview, and saving as well.
Or I just purchased a corrupted or pirated installers… Adobe updates are done every time I’m prompted.

CS4 Crashes when opening a PP project saved on another identical workstation

Hello,
I have 2 identical computers Running PP CS4 in seperate buildings. When I copy a project to a USB flash drive or network drive from workstation A and copy it on to workstation B, the project acts like it successfully loads and at the very last second when you can see the timeline and everything it crashes out.
My system: PC - Intel Core 2 DUO 3ghz processor (E7500) with 2 gigs RAM - Lexicon Lambda usb audio interface - NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX + video card on windows xp pro service pack 2. Premiere pro cs4 version 4.2.1. I went throught the steps in the "Guide to an effective question" and per the instructions there I have attached links to the DXDiag results, MSINFO32 results, and screenshots of a couple of the screens in Process Explorer: (these screenshots are from workstation B, where I'm trying to open the project file and it crashes)

I know alot more info will probably be needed to come up with a definitive answer, If I'm missing any info please ask and I will provide. Thanks in advance.

>2 identical computers
Hmm... if they are EXACTLY identical, there is something you might try as a LAST CHANCE (not to be done lightly, since hardware signatures will likely mean that you have to RE-authorize Windows and all software)
Buy http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/image-for-linux.htm (or your disk imaging software of choice)
Make a drive image of GOOD computer to USB hard drive... ditto for BAD computer
After both images are made, write the GOOD image onto the BAD computer's drive and test
If all works well (after any RE-authorizing due to any hardware signatures) you are good to go
If things do NOT work well, simply write the BAD image back to the BAD computer and you are back to where you started
Do not attempt this unless the two computers really are EXACTLY identical !!!!!

X-Code 5.0.2 crashing in Mavericks 10.9 when opening an existing project

Just updated X-Code to 5.0.2 and now it crashes when I try to open an existing project. Seems to OK when a new project is started though.
What am I doing worng?

I had the same issue then I found out all you have to do is to set the default view to List before opening any previous or new project and it worked, credit goes to this user below who found the solution.
ahmedMac25
I was able to resolve by workaround:
1. Closed all open applications
2. relaunch Finder
3. run sudo find / -name ".DS_Store" -exec rm {} \;
4. this removes all .DS_Store old files on the computer
5. launch finder and set default view to "LIST VIEW" as shown here:http://macs.about.com/od/usingyourmac/ss/Setting-Finder-Views-For-Folders-And-Su b-Folders_2.htm
5. rerun the offending application and file chooser works

Program error when opening or saving. Any fixes or workarounds?

I've been having troubles with opening and saving files in Photoshop CC since upgrading to Yosemite. The problem usually occurs when the save or open command is part of an action. I have the latest updates of both photoshop and Yosemite. It sounds like it's a known bug but I'd really like a solution or a workaround. Any suggestions?

Any other suggestions? As I stated in my original post, I have the most updated version of both photoshop and Yosemite. It was the first thing I checked.

Project Professional 2010 and pwa hangs when opening a linked project from PWA on Project Server 2010

When I open a linked project in Project Professional 2010 from PWA, Project Professional 2010 hangs with the "Links Between Projects ..." dialog box open. Unable to move or close the dialog box. Unable to move or close Project Professional
2010. The PWA tab on internet explorere is frozen and unable to access although other tabs in IE are accessible. End up having to reboot to close down project or force the process to end. I suspect a hidden dialog box is the culprit maybe
the scheduling conflict dialog box but am unable to access or switch and cannot confirm that there is another dialog box.
Has anybody else experienced this problem?
Thanks,
Julie

I have seen it hang when trying to open a project schedule even with no external links.
Project 2013 Pro, Link to schedule is on a PWA on a Project 2007 server.
If Project 2013 is open before clicking on the link, there is a long delay and the project schedule opens up in the web tab where the link was selected. If Project 2013 is not open, it just hangs and has to be shut down via the task manager.
No idea why. I can create a link to the shared volume and that works OK. But if I actually try to open MS Project by clicking on the link to a .mpp file it never opens in MS Project.

BEWARE: Loss of metadata when opening OnLo CS4 project in OnLo CS5

I had recorded a large number of takes over a two day shoot into OnLo CS4. I was pretty detailed as I shot the takes, using the comment, description, and good fields to mark notes to myself--it was going to make post-production much faster and easier. I primarily used the Description field to mark which part of a take was usable.
I recently installed CS5 and opened up my CS4 project into it. To my dismay, none of the Description fields in 250+ takes were populated. In looking at the SMVP "clip info" files, I've noticed that they were all rewritten during the project conversion process--the "Description" fields are there, but OnLocation will not read them. Opening the original project in CS4 has the same effect--the Description field is blank.
How can I gain access to this crucial metadata? Without it, I'll add hours and hours of logging to my job, which is going to offset a deadline I was already sweating. If it can't be fixed, there is no way I can ever trust OnLocation again in my workflow.

I too, am having problems with meta data generated in On Location.
My Panasonic AG DV-1000 is not supported under windows 7, so I drop into Win XP to acquire clips in On Location CS4.
I then switch to Win 7/64 and import the clip into CS 5 On Location. I then make notes in On Location CS5.
When I import the clip into Premier CS5, all the notes are gone, even though, if I re-open the on Location CS5 project, the notes are all there.
Suggestions?

Markers not showing up after opening a saved project. Where did they go!?

My first time using Prelude CS6 yesterday and had good success with ingesting, marking clips (into subclips, comments, etc.), saving the marked movies, and them sending the subclips to Premiere. They dumped into Premiere as expected.
However, this morning I started a new project in Premiere and planned on using the same clips I marked up in Prelude. I wanted to do a little more marking so I opened the Prelude project I saved yesterday and the movie files are there but none of the subclips, comments, or other markers are showing up.
The only thing I can think of is that I did not do a rough cut in Prelude, but I don't see why that would mean losing the markers from the source footage.
Am I missing something? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks...
-John

Interesting...
so this morning in preparing to upload a PL project for you, I
decided to try a new test PL project with different footage. The one I
played with this morning ("GrandCanyon_1.plproj" in the Folder
"Prelude_test") seems to work fine! I threw in some markers, saved, closed
PL, re-opened PL and the markers were there.
So I did the same thing using some footage from the project that I posted
about (ingested some footage, placed a sub clip marker, saved, closed,
re-opened), and the markers were gone. Perhaps it has to do with the source
footage?
Anyhow, I'm uploading the files to my ftp if you want to check them out.
They should be uploaded by 10am central.
Access info sent in separate email.
Thanks!

If the folio overlays are created in CS5.5, will they need to be recreated when opening and saving it in CS6?

Hi,
Do the folio overlays created using CS5.5 need to be created again when changing the file to a CS6 version? For example, a scrollable frame is created in the Indesign file/folio while using Indesign CS5.5. Then later, the file is opened and saved again after CS6 is now being used—it's saved for CS6, no longer 5.5. V27 is being used for DPS. Thanks.

No.
