  • Did the watermark option disappear from the export menu?

    After reinstalling Aperture, due to the call back from Apple, for replacing the hard disk I've got a lot of problems with the program.
    The latest is that I can't find anymore the box " Show Watermark" when exporting photo's. Is it placed somewhere else?
    Kees Bakker

    Is your Aperture version 3.4.3? For me the "Show Watermark" option is still there, when I export versions. Or are you trying to export originals? These cannot be watermarked.
    The "Show Watermark" option is available in the Export menu, when you edit the export preset you are using.

  • Before I downloaded Lion every time I would upload a pic from iphoto there would be two files.  One that was 1.8MB and another that was 50KB.  Now I can only find the 1.8MB one.  Did this option disappear with Lion?

    Before I downloaded Lion every time I would upload a pic from iphoto there would be two files.  One that was 1.8MB and another that was 50KB.  Now I can only find the 1.8MB one.  Did this option disappear with Lion?  I really need this option!

    Sorry but this is not clear.
    When you would "import" what?
    two files would show up in "images".
    Do you mean in the All Images search in the Finder?
    IF so:
    1.Never interact with photos that are in iPhoto via the All Images Search. This does not understand the iPhoto Library and it's very, very easy to damage the library this way.
    2. What you were seeing was the original file you imported and the thumbnail created by iPhoto for viewing on the iPhoto Window. That thumbnail is not designed for user access.
    What are you trying to do ultimately?

  • Why did my saved passwords disappear, and now even with private browsing off I cannot get Firefox to save the passwords over again. Care to help on this????

    The most recent version of Firefox just loaded onto my computer and all of my previously saved passwords are gone. To top it off I went in to the Privacy settings and turned off private browsing in order to start saving my passwords again, and it will not save, it doesn't even give me the pop up to ask if I want to save it. Care to help here? I'm way beyond angry right now, some of those passwords were rather unique and I will have a hard time recalling them exactly so not looking forward to having to reset them...

    You can force Firefox to reimport the passwords from the signons.sqlite file.
    * reset the <b>signon.importedFromSqlite</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page to the default value via the right-click context menu
    * delete the <b>logins.json</b> file in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed
    When you restart Firefox then you should have the signon.importedFromSqlite pref with the value set to true and you should have the passwords imported in the Password Manager unless there may have been errors.
    You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location/address bar.
    You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

  • HT1766 Why does my pc say that there is no drivers for my new Ipad Air. I did a backup this night from the two week old Ipad Air that I smashed the front?

    Why does my pc say that there is no drivers for my new Ipad Air. I did a backup this night from the two week old Ipad Air that I smashed the front?

    Drivers are iOS specific....meaning if your old one had iOS 7.0.6 and your new one 7.1 then it needs different drivers.
    Is your iTunes up do date? if not, then updating it may help.
    You can also try using a different usb cord and port to see if that triggers the driver download.
    or, if that doesn't work, try going into your control panel, add/remove programs. Look for 'apple mobile device service' and uninstall that. THen plug your iPad in and it should reinstall.
    If that doesn't work, go back into the control panel but uninstall iTunes, and apple mobile device service and apple application support, then redownload and reinstall iTunes and see if that gets your drivers fixed.
    Another way to do that is go right click on 'my computer' 'properties' and go to 'device manager'
    plug your iPad in and do you see it show up in the list? YOu may need to click some of those little plus signs to open up the lists. If you see your iPad, right click on the name and you should see an option to update the driver.

  • Trying to back up iCloud from a lost iPhone 5 to a new one but Choose backup option says "No iCloud backups are compatible with the version of iOS (7.1) on this iPhone" previous phone was at version 8.1.3

    I recently lost my iPhone 5 and purchased a refurbished one on line, I'm trying to backup by iCloud to the new phone but when I get to the "Choose backup" screen I'm told "No iCloud backups are compatible with the version (7.1) on this iPhone". My previous iPhone had up to version 8.1.3. Now I'm stuck in the backup screen and can't get back to settings.  How can I finish the backup and how do I get out of backup mode to possibly update to the version I need?

    Hi AppleRobertion,
    What you are going to need to do here is update your iPhone's version of the operating system to a version at least as new as the one on your backup - iOS 8.1.3. To do this, follow the directions in this article -
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
    Specifically -
    Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
    Put your device in recovery mode.
    When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
    Once the update is complete you should be able to restore from your backup.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Sincerely,
    Brett L

  • I am trying to use the liquify tool for the first time. I created a new document (RGB/8) and before I place my photo, the liquify option is available. After I place the photo, the liquify option disappears. What am I doing wrong?

    What am I doing wrong?
    For one thing you forgot to mention the version of Photoshop you use.
    Did you place the image as a Smart Object? Liquify got Smart-capabilities with Photoshop CC.

  • Newly created BP disappears with the synchronization

    Hello all,
    Once I create a new BP, save and synnchronize it with the server, it is disappearing from the UI. We need to explicitily search for it to see the details. This is not happening when we edit for the existing BPs. Can anybody point what could be the problem?
    Kindly note that we are in SP 12 upgrade.
    Best regards,
    Swarna Seeta

    Hi Swarna,
    When you go directly to BP/Details and add a new BP, it does not show after saving because of some custom code which might be written in the UI.
    When you go to BP/Details it shows a empty tile because in standard solution, the anchor modelling has been done such that the BP query execution is not set as implicit. This is done because if an empty query is fired there could be performance issues loading the tileset.
    You have following options -
    1.Try to debug and find why after saving the BP, the tile is getting empty because if you have not entered a search criteria and have directly come to BP/Details then the new BP should fit the empty search criteria.
    2.Another way (which might have performance impact) is to make the BP query execution implicit by changing the settings in the component MSABusinessPartners.This will make sure that when you go to BP/Details an empty query is fired in the background.
    option 1 is the best one.
    Regards

  • I use an Iphone 4 which had to be replaced recently. However when i did a backup it was on the new IOS version 7, but now that my phone was replaced and i am back on the old IOS version 6 i how do i restore my backup??

    I use an Iphone 4 which had to be replaced recently. However when i did a backup it was on the new IOS version 7, but now that my phone was replaced and i am back on the old IOS version 6 i how do i restore my backup??
    When i try to restore my Back up using Itunes this is the message i get - "Unable to restore backup as the software is old - Please setup as a new device and then try to restore your backup" - Please advise. If i do so are there any chances of loosing my data. At this point in time i would be happy if i could just retreive my contacts list. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Nope - you cannot restore a backup from a newer iOS version on to a device running an older iOS version.  The reverse works, but in your case to use your backup, you must update to iOS 7.0.3 - no other option if you want to use that backup.

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I repeatedly get this message:  "There was a problem connecting to the server.   URLs with the type "file:" are not supported. 
    Why? 
    What can be done to eliminate it?

    Open the Time Machine pane in System Preferences. If it shows that Time Machine is ON, click the padlock icon in the lower left corner, if necessary, to unlock it. Scroll to the bottom of the list of backup drives and click Add or Remove Backup Disk. Remove all the disks, then add them back. Quit System Preferences. Test.
