  • "Arrange new window" (thumbnail window for digital painting) does not update

    Hi,
    I have an issue with Photoshop CC V2014.2.1 release where if I open a new document, then create a duplicate window of that document (Window->Arrange->New window for "Document.psd") if I am working on the original window, the duplicate window does not update any brush strokes until I select the duplicate window or perform an undo command.
    On previous versions (CS4 & CS5) the 2nd window would update each brush stroke automatically.
    I have looked for options to auto-update the 2nd window, but can't find anything. Is this a bug or am I missing an option?
    Thanks,
    Tim

    Well there is feedback http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html and if you have an AppleID there is a "bug reporter" http://bugreporter.apple.com/.

  • Windows 8.1 in Bootcamp not recognising home network WiFi

    I am running bootcamp with Windows 8.1 on my MacBook Pro Retina Early 2013. I installed it together with all drivers as suggested by bootcamp.
    In Mac OS 10.9.4 I am connected to my home network and can see about 4-5 other networks (from my neighbours).
    After booting into Windows, I can see the networks of my neighbours but not my network.
    This connection problem occurred only recently. I have been able to connect seamlessly before.
    I went through the router settings not finding any restrictions to IP- or MAC-Addresses or a/b/g settings. I tried resetting my router without any luck.
    I tried uninstalling the Windows WLAN driver (also disabling), but I can still only see other peoples networks. I tried restoring to an earlier point in time without any luck.
    My Kindle and my Nexus 5 connect without a problem to my home network.
    Any ideas?

    What finally worked was changing the channel of the router. I had my setting on auto and changed it randomly to channel 2, which worked!

  • Windows 8 installed on bootcamp not working after upgrading to Yosemite!

    Hello,
    I am a new mac user and recently upgraded from mavericks to yosemite. I had win 8 installed on boot camp before I upgraded.
    The windows partition doesn't show up after I try to reboot.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Same issue here with my "Mad Catz" mouse "R.A.T. 7".
    Switched back to my old Logitech mouse - Problem solved.
    I think it's a driver issue so i hope it'll be solved soon.

  • ITunes will not update or uninstall

    I have iTunes 11.1.1.11 installed on a 64 bit PC with Windows 7.  It will not update and I cannot uninstall it.  The install file for this version seems to be missing.  I probably deleted it after downloading an update. How can I solve this problem ?

    First try this fixit:
    http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
    If that doesn't work you may need the the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility
    Unfortunately the Microsoft Installer Cleanup utility has been withdrawn by Microsoft because of compatibility issues with Microsoft Office so you will need to find a copy elsewhere – the installer is msicuu2.exe. You need version 3.
    Google  msicuu2.exe download
    mydigitallife in the above search has a copy of version 3
    Check for malware before installing it.
    After installing, To run the program  – All Programs>>Windows Install
    If you get  permission denied error, Try Run as Administrator – an option if you right click on the program.
    Download a fresh copy of iTunes
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Save the file on your PC.
    Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
    XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
    Vista/Windows 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    *If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
    Restart your PC.
    Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
    Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
    If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did *not* uninstall, look out for entries that start All Users that are blank entries or have numeric entries that look like version numbers
    restart your PC and try installing iTunes

    I'm getting a similar but distinct error message in snow leopard: Download could not continue. "The windows support software is not available" and have no original snow leopard instal disc with me.
    Your issue is completely different. You are running Snow Leopard. There is no download for Windows Support software for Snow Leopard, hence the error you see. Snow Leopard Windows Support software is on the Snow Leopard installation disk.
    You need the Snow Leopard installation disk or a replacement for it.

  • Windows could not update the computer's boot configuration. via UEFI installation

    I recently performed a clean WIndows 8.1 installation using my new Hard drive. However, under UEFI mode from BIOS, everytime the setup process reaches the "Installing Updates" stage, I kept on receiving an error "Windows could not update the
    computer's boot configuration, Installation cancelled. 
    I was a bit puzzled as everytime I install Windows 8.1 via LEGACY mode from BIOS, setup finishes! I cannot tell whether I need to mod my BIOS or what. 
    please help.

    Hi,
    Please make sure that Delete all partitions/volumes on the disk # (ex: Disk 0) that you want to install Windows 8.1 as UEFI on until that disk # shows as unallocated space.
    Try again to install Windows 8.1 again.
    If it still fails, please post back the setuperr.log and setupact.log under C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther\ for our research. You can copy them out in WinPE command mode.
    Also, I would like to check if you use bootcamp to install Windows 8.1 on Mac computer. If so, check the solution here:

    Running Windows XP service pack 3. Updated Firefox from 8.0 to 9.0. Now when Firefox opens "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded" is displayed in a window and no home page appears. What's wrong?

    That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Firefox gave a popup window that said "Firefox could not successfully update. You can do it manually" or something like that. I go to the Firefox website and there is no link withing this site to download manually. Is this a spooffing site??

    I wanted my Avast! updates to be current. I have not run Avast! again. I just ran it about 1:30 AM local time. I got up from sleeping and just restarted my computer after looking at the summary from Avast! All I did was close Avast! and click "Restart" and re-entered my computer and opened 2 Firefox browsers and 2 Explorer browsers. One of the Firefox browsers said it needed to update which it attempted but then a window popped up that said Firefox could not update and I should do it manually. The other Firefox browser says "Download Firefox for your Android (I don't have Android) and also said "Restore Previous Session" which I will attempt right now.
