Why are all the Adobe forums suddenly using a hard to read italic font?
Question in subject line!
Glad it not just me then.

I know, I know. I keep trying to but then I keep coming across things that don't work quite as I expected and revert.

HT4796 why are all the files on my external harddrive showing as read only?
I have a harddrive (Seagate) that I have used with my PC to store files. When I plug it into my Mac, all the files are read only. How do I fix that?
Most likely, the drive is formatted NTFS, which OS X can only read natively.
If you don't want to reformat the disk into something you can use on both, try exFAT.
If you want to reformat it only for a Mac, use Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
Either way you'd have to move the files off the drive, format, then reload them
There are several programs which will allow you to write to NTFS, Paragon, Tuxera, and NTFS-3G (free). -

Hi,
( I search for iChat questions when I have finished in the iChat Forum)
So the menu bar reads iChat, File, Edit, View, Buddies, Video, Window and Help
There is no Buddy List open.
There is no other window for iChat open.
In the iChat Menu you only have access to Status.
Is an item ticked in the list ?
Is this a green (Available item) or Red ( an Away one) ?
Can you access the Accounts option ? (Sitll in the iChat Menu)
Is anything in here ticked ?
In the Window menu any Logged in account should appear in the list (Between the Next Chat and File Transfer items)
It would be useful to know which version of iChat this is.
If no account is ticked (iChat Menu > Accounts) or not showing in the Window Menu, plus you cannot determine the Status and you cannot access the Preferences then you need to access your Home Folder/Library/Preferences
As the Library in the Home Holder is Invisible in Lion you will need the Finder's Go Menu > Go to Folder option (you can use it in earlier OS versions if you want)
Type in:-
~/Library/Preferences
Find the file called com.apple.ichat.plist
Drag it to the Trash and Restart iChat.
This will lose all the settings in iChat that you have changed from Defaults but there is no way around this.

Why are all the events in the XML SAX parser not activated?
Hi everyone,
I have written a mini server that parses XML files into SQL queries.
Below is a segment of my code;
try {
Class.forName( JDBC_DRIVER );
myConnection = DriverManager.getConnection( DATABASE_URL, "username", "password");
EventXMLParser myEXP = new EventXMLParser(directory, myConnection);
File[] xmlFiles = directory.listFiles();
for (File xmlFile : xmlFiles) {
myEXP.XMLtoDB(xmlFile);
outWriter.println("File:" + xmlFile.getName() + " DONE");
} catch (SQLException e) {
System.err.println("SQLException for establishing connection");
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
System.err.println("CLASS NOT FOUND EXCEPTION HERE");
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println(e);
e.printStackTrace();
finally {
outWriter.println("PARSING COMPLETED");
outWriter.close();
}Where the constructor EventXMLParser constructs the following:
public EventXMLParser(File path, Connection connection) {
super();
try {
this.XMLpath = path;
this.db_connection = connection;
this.xr = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader();

} My question is: I have taken my SQL query generated by toSQL() method in events and it worked.
Here is the funny thing:
Everything is correct syntax wise: No complaints what soever
The mysql part works: Tested separately.
So I tend to think that the problem lies within the SAX parser. I have written SAX2 parsers on this machine before and they have worked too. I tried inserting println statements all over startElement endElement etc etc only to find out that the SAX parser did not call any of the methods that I overided!! Why is that so?
Can you guys spot where my SAX parser fails?I see.
I try to correct this problem by removing super();
so right now my code looks like this:
static Event temp = new Event(0, 0, "null", "null", new Date(), 0, "null", 0);
static String CurrentElement = null;
static File XMLpath;
static Connection db_connection;
static XMLReader xr;
static DefaultHandler XMLSAXhandler;
//Constructor, Build the SAX Parser
public EventXMLParser(File path, Connection connection) {
try {
this.XMLpath = path;
this.db_connection = connection;
this.xr = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader();
this.XMLSAXhandler = new DefaultHandler(); //create a new own handler
this.xr.setContentHandler(XMLSAXhandler);
this.xr.setErrorHandler(XMLSAXhandler);
//System.out.println("DEBUG: db_connection is " + db_connection.toString());
catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Constructor Error!");
e.printStackTrace();
}This time, I created a new instance of default handler() which can be referenced by as the objects's XMLSAXhandler. However, that did not solve the problem, why does the problem still persist?
Right now, there is only one instance of a default handler created. So why does all my parsing event functions still get ignored? -
Help, why did all my adobe products suddenly stopped working ????
im a photoshop and indesign user,
suddenly one day photoshop is freezing on open, and i cannot do any functions with it.... so eventually frustrated with it, i uninstall it and try to reinstall. however, i open creative suite and it tells me i need to update creative suite, so i do this. creative suite finds a problem half way and tells me it cannot complete the install.. after that i cant even find creative suite on my computer any more. it has vanished completely. i also notice that indesign isnt working.
so i go to the adobe website and try to re-download photoshop from my account history. and no matter how many times i click the download button, nothing happens !!!!!!
what the HECK IS GOING ON??? someone please helpYou need to say what version of Photoshop and InDesign, and what Operating System you are using?
Did you deactivate before reinstalling (you may not have had the option if it was not working).
The Cleaner tool might help remove debris form the original corrupted installation:

When I create a tablet/desktop/phone version of a site, why are all the pages blank?
Hello, longtime listener/user, first time caller
I've been using Muse since jumping on the Creative Cloud train a couple years ago, but to date all my experience had been in maintaining and updating a desktop version of a couple small sites. I loved the idea of Muse being able to assist in the creation of separate desktop/tablet/mobile layouts (ie responsive design), and this past week was my first experience in using it as I worked on a ground-up rebuild of http://www.eridusociety.org. I started with a Phone layout, with the intention of getting that right and then expanding outward to a tablet version, and once that was finished, adding a desktop layout.
After completing the mobile site and testing it on Business Catalyst (thanks to all involved in that seamless integration, by the way), I clicked on the +Tablet button and proceeded to build out the tablet layout of the site. To my dismay, all the pages it built were blank. I tried deleting and re-doing it with different combinations of the options checked, to no avail. Then I raced off to the nearest web browser and started searching - surely I missed a step, or the great collective brain of the internet could alert me to some way to achieve this. Alas, no such luck.
The blank pages are intentional, and the way to populate those blank pages is to go back to the phone layout, open the page, then copy all the content, then switch back to the tablet layout, open the corresponding page on the tablet layout, and paste in the content from the source layout... and of course, rinse and repeat for the desktop layout as well (though for my workflow, I copied the finished tablet layout pages to create the desktop version).
For me, starting with all the page elements from the source layout is much easier than starting from scratch on each and every page. That way I know I have all the elements on the page, and I can add to (or subtract from) as well as modify the layout in fairly short order. I've been driving myself a little crazy with all the bouncing back and forth between layouts to copy/paste elements as I work on my site, and for future reference I'd like to know if there's some way that can be avoided in the future?
Ideally, I would like to see an option in the create layout dialog box to be able to copy content (and choose the source layout to copy from).
Beyond that, another great option for this dialog would be to let me choose to switch all the page links to the new layout. That is, when it copies and pastes all the page content from source layout, Muse would then also update the links to pages within the site so that they link to that layout's pages. So when I build a phone version and click +Tablet, I can check a box to copy page content from source, specify that source, and then check another box to update links for layout. After Muse does its magic, I have a tablet layout that's already got page content on it, and it's linking to other pages on the tablet layout (and not to the source/phone layout pages).
Thanks to everyone on the Muse team for a pretty great product, and to the people manning the Twitter account for responding to my tweet and directing me here.Sanjit, I think one of us is missing the point. It could be me - is there some way to easily and quickly pop open multiple layouts and pages? Because for me (running a 12-core Mac Pro with 64GB RAM and FirePro D700 GPU's), Muse lets me switch between one layout view and the next (not open them simultaneously), and takes several seconds to do this every single time. Opening and closing pages (to create separate tabs/windows) is also incredibly tedious.
I can appreciate that select and drag works just as well as selecting all and using copy/paste shortcut keys, but that is the least time consuming part of the process.
Without copying the page contents from the source layout and transpose internal page links to new layout, Muse falls short of the mark of making it really easy to build responsive sites. It's kind of like trying to take a cab to a destination across town that makes you get out and walk halfway. No matter quickly or easily the cab made it through town, it still only got you half way there. -
Why are all the sound levels so different!?? With VST's and in Ultrabeat...
I'm having so much trouble with the audio levels in logic pro. It seems every VST has a completely different level when the volume on the vst is set to 100. Miroslav Philharmonik is EXTREMELY quiet..., and when I load drums into ultrabeat, they immediately peak like crazy. I tried loading my drums up in battery 3 after that, and all the drums where extremely quiet compared to my other vst's YET it showed in the mixer that they were peaking????? I don't understand what's happening, I know you have to mix but this never happened in any other daw that I've used.

It's one of a the reasons mixers have volume controls.
Seriously - an orchestral instrument is likely to have hundreds of parts all playing at once. If each part was designed to hit close to 0dB, then it would be impossible to do anything as the resultant mix would be massively loud - you'd have to turn everything down all the time.
Drums are probably going to be peaking fairly loud in a mix, as they do contain a lot of the energy.
There is no standard. A mono synth will often have hotter levels than a polysynth part, as the polysynth could be playing 8-32 voices all at once. Also, different patches, and different instruments themselves will be programmed to have different volume levels.
This is all true regardless of DAWs, and is nothing specifically to do with Logic.
All all the instruments, and mixer channels have volume controls, to let you control their volume and place them where they need to be for your needs. -
Why are all the photo titles in Photobooth the same?
This question concerns photobooth and using photos taken in iPhoto.
The problem is this: I took a bunch of photos with photobooth, then imported them into iPhoto. I then attempted to move those photos into a seperate folder on my desktop, but I couldn't since each individual photo was titled "MyPicture.jpg". I could go through the process of renaming all the photos by hand, but is there any automated way to do this and just assign maybe a random filename?Hi Isaacprobert,
Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like you still have photos in Photostream. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

Why are all the volume sliders resetting to zero when I enable recording on my tracks?
That's basically all there is to it. I have 8 drum tracks all set at different input levels but when I record-enable the tracks all the volume sliders rest to zero in the mixer. This has never happened before!

Why are all the close tab buttons missing?
Yesterday, I was using Firefox 25.0.1 with no issues. Today I launched Firefox, only to find that the [X] buttons for the tabs are gone! Instead, I saw a single [x] button on the rightmost side of the tabs bar, which closes the active tab. There were no changes/updates that I made to Firefox between yesterday and today. I checked the browser.tabs.closeButtons parameter, and saw that it was still set to 1. Changing it has no effect. What's going on?
Thanks,
Teraforce88What really pisses me off is that we have to use an addon to make Firefox work like IT SHOULD. Now FF gets updated again and our addon is broken. The arrogance of the developers who made the call to force a tab bar at all times is astounding. Because they always have tabs open, I guess that means the rest of the internet should too.
