Why does my light/dark actions not work properly anymore?

hello, I have used these actions a hundred times, and all of a sudden they stop working properly. I have many action sets that have these same types ....brushing in light or dark areas...and it doesnt matter what collection it is, they dont work properly and all are doing the same thing. They seem to paint in blotches and spots instead of airbrushing like I want it to...sorta gives it a smeared look instead. Any help would be appreciated, thank you in advance ;o)

It would help if you gave us the following System information:
Operating System / version number
Photoshop version number
Amount of RAM installed / % allocated to Photoshop
Hard drive(s) capacity / free space
Make and model number of video card
3rd party plug-ins and version number
Were the actions made in a different version?

Why does batch rename Original Case not work properly?

The Batch rename funtion for >Current Filename >Name >Original Case does not work.
Why?

For some reason it doesn't do a thing. Unless my inderstanding of its function is not correct.
It doesn't a thing by design, when having selected 'current filename' / Name / and 'Original Case' it does what it says, it leaves everything original as is in the existing filename. You can also choose to use uppercase and lowercase to either change all characters of the existing file name to uppercase or lowercase.
I can imagine you have been mislead by the fact the write UPPERCASE and lowercase to show as an example and used two capitals in 'Original Case'. Sadly enough the use of capitals in common throughout Bridge is not very consistent and sometimes even very strange to put it mildly…

Why Does Live View In DW Not Work With BC Template?

The live view using a BC template in DW CS6 shows "PAGE NOT FOUND" in the body section but the header and footer look fine. I should also point out that the index.htm page works fine, it's just the other pages that have this problem. What makes it weirder is that the site works fine in all other modes including when viewing in a normal browser, it's ONLY when in live view! I also noticed that if I delete the .htm extension in the url in the DW browser when in Live View it fixes the problem, but this requires me to do this everytime I want to switch to live view and surely is either a problem with how the BC template files are named or DW CS6 is buggy? Hopefully this is an easy one to answer??

Why does my printer HP 3080 not work with Mac OS X VERSION 10.7.5

Why does my printer HP 3080 not work with Mac OS X VERSION 10.7.5. Am I missing a driver? If so where do I go to download it? thanks

What's the full model number and name of the printer? I can't seem to find any HP printer with the numbers 3080 in the model number.
How are you connecting the printer to the Mac?
I am a printer tech for HP.

Why does my camera connection kit not work with my ipad 1 after updating on ios 5?

Why does my camera connection kit not work with my ipad 1 after updating on ios 5? What can I do to make it work again?

It should. It will only respond if there's something on the card for it to respond to, so do you have pics on the card?
And if it's messing up; try giving the iPad a restart. Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see hte red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again. That can clear up any glitches on the device itself.

Why iMessage is not working properly anymore since i've uploaded the new iOS 6 ??

Why iMessage is not working properly anymore since i've uploaded the new iOS 6 ??

I'm having the same problem. I have a 4th gen 32GB iPod Touch, and since upgrading to iOS6, iMessage has been nothing but buggy. It will work for an hour or so, and then randomly stop working as it won't send or receive messages. There's nothing wrong with my wifi, because that's the same as it was before. I really hope someone knows something to fox this problem. Some people use iMessage for good reasons - it needs to be a reliable messaging service like it was in iOS5.

Smart Actions not working properly after software update

My Razr updated 2 days ago and since then my Smart Actions are not working properly.
I have my Work action set to turn the volume down when I'm at a certain GPS. It shows that "Work" is active, but doesn't turn the volume down.
Also, there are times (since I've owned the phone) that it will not connect to the network after coming off a Wifi Connection without rebooting the phone. I took it into a Verizon store and they did a hard reset, and that fixed it for a time, but it started doing it again.
Any help appreciated.

Hi mcclainkb, Let's make sure your phone works as you expect it to! Have you tried removing the Smart Action and setting it back up again? Are your other GPS services working as normal? After the hard reset performed in the store did you install all of the same application that you had before?
Thank you,

HELP! Why does my Drag and Drop not work Completely?

Hello! I'm working on an ActionScript 3 movie clip in Adobe Flash. In the interactive movie I want the user to create a snowman with the parts on the left side. (Picture below.)
On the right side I have the snowman slightly visible, so the user knows where to put the parts. Most of it seems to work... but after I put on the body, hat, and arms the other pieces don't work; like the eyes, nose, mouth, etc. Why does it not work? Can someone help me?
This is how it should look at the end, when the user complets it.
I think I coded this correctly. But I'm not sure. Please take a look at my code and see what the problem is. Thanks!!!

Below is a more efficient code. I am not sure about chasing parents you do in the code (always bad idea) so this code may be buggy:

var startY:Number;
var counter:Number = 0;
// reference to currently dragged object
var currentTarget:Sprite;
var objectCollection:Array = [SNOWMAN1_mc, SNOWMAN2_mc, SNOWMAN3_mc, LEFTARM_mc, HAT_mc, RIGHTARM_mc, SCARF_mc, EYES_mc, MOUTH_mc, CARROT_mc, COLE1_mc, COLE2_mc, COLE3_mc];
activateObjects();
function activateObjects():void {
     for (var i:int = 0; i < objectCollection.length; i++) {
          currentObject = objectCollection[i] as Sprite;
          currentObject.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickUp);
          currentObject.buttonMode = true;
function pickUp(event:MouseEvent):void {
     currentTarget = event.currentTarget as Sprite;
     currentTarget.startDrag(true);
     MYTEXTBOX.text = "";
     currentTarget.parent.addChild(currentTarget);
     startX = currentTarget.x;
     startY = currentTarget.y;
     stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropIt);
function dropIt(event:MouseEvent):void {
     stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropIt);
     stopDrag();
     var myTarget:DisplayObject = getChildByName("T" + currentTarget.name);
     if (currentTarget.dropTarget != null && currentTarget.dropTarget.parent == myTarget){
          MYTEXTBOX.text = "Good Job!";
          currentTarget.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickUp);
          currentTarget.buttonMode = false;
          currentTarget.x = myTarget.x;
          currentTarget.y = myTarget.y;
          counter++;
     } else {
          MYTEXTBOX.text = "Try Again!";
          currentTarget.x = startX;
          currentTarget.y = startY;

Why does the address/status bar not work?

After updating to 9.0.1, my status bar will not work, or my address bar. If I try to type in anything and press enter into the address bar, nothing happens. Also, I cannot press forward or back as they always remain grayed out. The only way I can get to a website is by pressing home, which is thankfully google. I have to google the url to go to it.
Remembering now actually, I copied all the folders from the main firefox folder and pasted them into a new install of firefox (I had this problem actually before firefox updated). I was hoping that copying these folders would save my addons and etc. after I downloaded a new firefox and re-installed it. I put the folders back and firefox is still messed up :/
I just want it to work more Q_Q

That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.

Why does my canoscan 9950FII suddenly not work anymore? Mountain Lion. Error: scanner not found and PCPower no longer supported.

New iMac with OS X Mountain Lion. Canocan 9950F II, bought new because my old 9950F was not supported by Mac. Driver installed from CD, everything fine, worked perfectly. After some time of not using the scanner, I tried to scan a document now. It did not work. It says it cannot find the scanner although everything is plugged in and switched on. And then the message that PC Power is no longer supported. HELP!!!

Check the Canon Web Site for new software and download the software for Mac OS X (Intel Mac) or select Intel Mac from the install disk.
I checked the Canon Support Site, but there isn't a 9950F Mark II on the U.K Site, but there is a 9000F Mark II.
The messgae you are getting suggests the PowerPC software version has been installed instead of the Intel Version.

Why does my iMessage and Facetime not work when I am connected to a wi-fi network?

Wanted to say Thanks! to both of you for the help. I went and found a different wi-fi to connect to and everything worked perfectly. Not sure what the deal was with the wi-fi at the vacation house but it all works now.
