Photoshop CS5 Saving Errors

Are you having trouble saving a psd project since upgrading to Adobe Photoshop CS5? The solution may be as simple as changing a setting.
A client we have was having the files disappear when opening and saving directly to the server sharepoint. We would reproduce the error as follows:

1. Open .psd file from the server
2. Make changes
3. Save
4. If you receive the error message: "Could not save as "" because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered"
5. Click OK
6. File disappears from the server
7. Save again
8.  Save As prompt appears
9. Same location is selected with same file name. The file saves correctly.

We resolved the issue by changing one setting, and it may also works for you:

1. Click Photoshop->Preferences->File Handling
2. Under File Saving Options->Image Previews
3. Change to "Never Save"

Give this a try, and hopefully it fixes the issue for you.
 

Using SSD on Macbook

If you wish to use a third party SSD on your Macbook you have many options. The easiest and quickest way if to order your macbook with the preinstalled SSD from Apple. This is obviously the most expensive way.
You can also replace the internal hard drive with a third party SSD drive for example a very fast OCZ Vertex 2 but since your replacing a larger spinning drive with an SSD you will loose a lot of space but gain system boot and application load speed.
There is an alternative that gives you both speed and storage space. You can replace the DVD drive with a second drive. I know this sounds crazy to some people but think when was the last time you actually put a CD/DVD disk in your laptop.
If you install a third party SSD you will need to enable Trim using this application. This will help you extend the life and reliability of your drive.

Sending Keystrokes over ARD

First Open the Remote Desktop application located in /Application/Remote Desktop. Next select the computer you want to send the keystrokes to.

 

 

 

 

Click on UNIX from the Toolbar.

 

 

 

Type in the following, replacing the quoted text after “keystroke”. In this example this will type “Text To Send” on the destination computer(s).

 

 

 

osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to keystroke "Text To Send"'

 

 

 

 

 

If no one is logged in to the computer you will need to modify the “Run Command as:” option. You will have to choose a User, you can type in the local administrator to the computer or “root”.

 

 

 

 

 

In the top right you can save it as Template if you will need to use it more than once.

 

 

Now you can send the command to selected computer(s).

Setting the Netboot Server

First open system preferences and open Startup Disk.

If you see the Netboot server listed you can just select it and restart the machine.

 

snsshot02

 

If you don’t see the Netboot server listed you will need to tell your machine where the Netboot server is.

 

snsshot03

 

The proper way is have your network administrator enable IP helper for your Netboot server, but this is a quick an easy work around.

You can point your machine to startup from a specific Netboot server by using the following command;

sudo bless --netboot --server bsdp://10.70.0.25 --verbose

Just need to replace 10.70.0.25 with the IP address of your Netboot server. Now when you restart the machine it will boot from the Netboot server. This is very useful your clients and server are on different subnets.
