Why does Photoshop produce images that are from source data Photoshop can't read?

I am getting this message "This image was generated from source data that Photoshop cannot read. That data will be discarded." When I open the image the data that has been discarded consists of the layers that were created in Photoshop. I don't understand why Photoshop can't read data created in Photoshop.

Thank you for the info. I only have one version of Photoshop on my computer. The one I created the images with won't open them. However, I did have a version of Lightroom on my computer that I removed today. It was newer than my version of Photoshop. I am hoping that without Lightroom on my computer I will not have any more problems. (cross all my fingers) The images that are corrupted are missing data. The Metadata is missing and the layers are missing from the files. If the metadata is missing they won't open at all and if the layers are missing they will open up flattened, some of them are corrupted with data and color switched every which way in the image.

I can not perform software updates or download any programs. They appear in the download box as images that are not recognized. How can I fix this?

I can not perform software updates or download any programs. They appear in the download box as images that are "not recognized". I thought maybe my antivirus software was setting up a firewall, but I have disabled it, so that's not the case. Any suggestions as to how I can fix this?

If the downloads are gone, it's possible that Windows is removing the downloads based on security policies set in IE. I realize that sounds strange, but it's related to Firefox's feature of submitting downloads to your virus scanner and marking them as having come from the internet.
To test this theory, you could try disabling the scan feature. I assume you have good "real time" antivirus protection which checks every file saved to your hard drive. (If not, you really should get that, and you can use Microsoft's free [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/security-essentials Microsoft Security Essentials] for now until you have time to review all the available choices.)
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''scan''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click '''browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone''' to toggle its value.
Firefox now should ignore Windows' download security. Does it change how Windows handles the file?

FF5 does not show images that are 'moved permanently' (http response 301)

Our web app shows maps from OpenStreetmap. The webapp is secure, that is, is uses HTTPS. Now, IE complains horribly when the web page tries to load <img> via HTTP, because it's mixed content that that is considered baad.
So our webapp serves the images by responding via HTTPS with a 301 (moved permanently) to the real OpenStreetmap URL (with is HTTP). That fools IE to not complain.
Now, Firefox 5 suddenly does not show the map images AT ALL. This has worked beautifully with previous version (and all other browsers).
What's wrong?

I fixed the problem. (YAY!)
It was the way I embedded the files -- the Dreamweaver default does not work properly so I used the embed from this generator: http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/swfobject/generator/index.html#alternativeContentHelp which now lets my navbar and swfobjects load properly. I also made sure that my slideshow (loader.swf) was set with wmode = opaque while the navbar is set to wmode = transparent. The div for the nav bar has z-index set to 5 while the div for the slideshow has z-index set to 1. Both have absolute positioning. I hope this helps anyone in the future that has trouble with overlaying flash (.swf) files.
Thanks for your reply and trying to help me solve this issue!

Why does iTunes rename files that are imported automatically although I set it not to?

Hello,
I am facing the following issue:
I set up an old MacBook as a HomeServer. Now I would like to use it as a media server as well using iTunes.
My problem now is, that everytime I put some music files in the folder which automatically adds them to iTunes they are moved to the Music folder and are renamed although I deactivated this option in iTunes.
I arranged myself with the fact that the music is moved but the renaming is frustrating since I would like to use a sync tool to manage my music.
Does anyone have an idea how I could solve this?
Thanks in advance.

I can tell you exactly why I don't want iTunes to manage my music completely.
I have all my music/fotos stored on a SD card so I have access to it anywhere I need it. I have a sync tool backing up my files to a NAS at my house.
My first intend was to access the music stored on my NAS but then I would have to manage iTunes twice (on my MacBook for traveling and on my HomeServer).
So I was looking for a comfortable way to have iTunes running on my HomeServer with a folder where I can put my new music. OK now you could say "why not just copy your new stuff there and let it do its job?". I want to have it automated or at least semi automated.
I store everything on my SD card and when I'm at home I want 2 sync jobs running. One to back up all of it and the other one to check which files are new and then put them into the folder which automatically adds them to itunes.
I could still live with iTunes managing everything the way it does but then I need to know how I can find out what is new in my music library on my SD card without manually checking it or creating duplicates in iTunes.
Wow... that was more text then I intended to write... whoops... hope I will be able to find a solution somehow.
Cheers

It truncates images that are normal in Safari. Can I send you screen captures to illustrate?

Go to this site:
http://www.howtosucceedbroadway.com/
On the right there are three prompts, How to get tickets, etc. Only in my Firefox it only says: "How to Get..." The word "Tickets" is cutoff, as are the ends of the other two prompts.
This does not happen in Safari.
What gives?

That maybe caused by the font. For that first 'How to' link a font-size of 36px is specified (.blue). The others have a font-size of 24px. It works for me if I allow the web page fonts, but not with a wider font like Verdana. If you do not see the full text then it may wrap to a next line and not show because of that.

Why does my RAW image look grainy when I export it in to Photoshop CC from Lightroom for editing?
Checked LR's setting for Ps export and they haven't changed since it was OK a few days ago? It is OK if you zoom in but in 'fit page' it looks terrible!

I have exactly the same problem and it has got worse today as the photos also now open in smaller windows for some reason

Why does message say application components are missing when trying to open Photoshop?

why does message say application components are missing when trying to open Photoshop?

The probable causes are:
A bad, or incomplete install
Inability of the program to access the location of those components
Deleted files, that are required for those components

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.

Will Blurb correct images that are too light or too dark to print nicely?

I have two calibrated monitors and am submitting a book to Blurb. One monitor is brighter than the other--, that the images look fine on one and too dark on the other. I could changed the brightness, but how do I knwo which is correct for Blurb?what does Blurb see and do they correct images that are all too dark or too light?

Blurb does not correct anything in the uploaded pictures. This is stated clearly on their website; read up under <Color Management>.
It does not matter at all if your image looks fine on the monitor. What matters is if the color numbers of the image are correct. Blurb will print according to the color numbers.
The color numbers of your image will be displayed correctly on the monitor if it is properly calibrated to the industry standard of 6500 K and a gamma 0f 2.2 and if the intensity (brightness) of the monitor is set correctly.
Do this: calibrate both your monitors and set the target value for brightness (intensity) to a value between 100 - 110 cd/m2. This value is considered correct as it will give you prints that match the monitor in brightness.
The best test for checking for how images will look in a blurb book is this: Print the images as sRGB on your own printer. You can do this in two ways:
a) Export the image as JPG in sRGB in the size it will be printed. You can do this from the Book Module, Re-import it into Lr and print from Lr.
b) Don't export the image just print from Lr by selecting <Managed by printer> as the profile and set your printer to sRGB.

Why does my iphone send all text from only one of my contacts to my email?

Why does my iphone send all text from only one of my contacts to my email? I'm curious to know if anyone else has had this issue with the Iphone 5s...

imessage has a new setting that shows all emails associated with your apple id. There are two sections, send and receive. Since you are using the same apple id, Im sure if you adjust one of those settings to your mobile number instead of your appleid, it wont send double.
You might also have to adjust your wifes settings too, so those emails dont overlap

Elements 11 - why does it not recognize RAW photos from Canon 70D?

Elements 11 - why does it not recognize RAW photos from Canon 70D?

Hi,
The 70D requires Camera Raw 8.2 which is not compatible with Photoshop Elements 11.
Your choices are
1) Upgrade to Photoshop Elements 12
2) Use the Canon DPP application to convert the CR2 files to TIF files and then import the TIF files into the organizer
3) Use the free download of the Adobe DNG converter to convert the CR2 file to DNG files and then import the DNG files to the organizer.
Note: if you are running on XP or Vista, you need version 8.3 of the converter - the latest (8.4) will not work.

Why does 'pacman' produce purely informational output?

My apologies if this dead horse has already been beaten. A brief search didn't turn up any forum topics that addressed this issue.
Many Unix programs adhere to the dictum that successful execution should produce no output unless something interesting or surprising happened. The canonical example is running 'ls' on an empty directory.
'pacman' doesn't follow this design philosophy even if the '--quiet' switch is given.
# pacman -Syq
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core is up to date
extra is up to date
community is up to date
multilib is up to date
As I understand it, the rationale is the desire to be able to use programs in a pipe. If the output contains purely informational text, then every program that uses that program's output has first to throw away the informational text.
Of course it's easy enough to quieten 'pacman'
pacman -Sy | sed '/^:: /d'
or even
pacman -Sy | sed '/^:: \|is up to date$/d'
So, I have a two part question: Why does 'pacman' produce purely informational text and why doesn't the '--quiet' switch really quieten 'pacman'?
Thanks for any insight.

I used firefox as an example of the differences between using query and search with and without the '-quiet' switch:

I think this is how the switch is meant to work. I posted a link to a bug/feature request that deals with a similar issue to what you report here.
Maybe info about every repo - even if it's up to date - is printed for the sake of consistency?

How can I display images that are not included in any collection?

How can I display images that are not included in any collection (some filter or smart collection)? A smart collection with parameters "Collection - contains - empty field" does not work. Lightroom 5.

Thank you! Good idea! I ordered letters of the alphabet (space separated), and it works.

Is there a way for my images that are links NOT to be denoted by whatever color i set my links to be in my page properties?

If you would like your NON-linked images to have a border, and only remove the border from linked images then this css:
a img { border:none; }
