It's when you save files directly to a network share from within a CS3 application. Apple changed something in 10.5.3 which breaks whatever CS3 was doing.
Note, that this has NEVER been supported by Adobe -- they have always recommend you save files locally. The crux of the problem is that Photoshop has some VERY VERY old and crufty code in it where save operations are concerned. If they were to update to the OS X POSIX APIs instead of using old Carbon routines that give compatibility with stuff that worked in System 6 and earlier, this wouldn't be a problem, but Adobe hasn't done that yet.
Someday, maybe with the update to CS5 which will require them to migrate from Carbon to Cocoa to get 64 bit, this problem may go away. But for now, it's using some old/crufty APIs which seem to be affected in negative ways when Apple fixes OS bugs.
bermuda triangle for mail junk-button?
I have two macs that I use. I also use Mac Mail on both of those. One is showing a junk button near the top, the other one is not. Oh, and it is annoying the crap out of me
This is one:
this is another:
Now why am I not seeing a junk mail button in the second one?

Suggestions, anyone?

w00p! That worked, didn't even know it was there. I must have done something like that before without remembering. It's back to normal, thanks!
I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this.. Never hurts to ask though..
Is there a way for me to get a MacBookPro re-certified so I can sign it up for Apple Care?
The machine is less than three years old. It's a 17" upper end MBP.
I have a friend that wants to trade me for x hours of web development for his old MBP. He's a good friend and he's been fully up front about the machine and the state it's in. But I'd love to be able to use Apple Care instead of having to spend $$ if the machine breaks down.

10.5.3 + G5 = brick (eventually)
Sigh, I upgraded my quad G5 to 10.5.3 a couple days after it came out. Ever since then it's been locking up more and more often. Before then it never did. Now I can't even boot the box, firmware throws up a 'no' logo in place of the apple logo. Nothing else changed, and when it is running there's no indication that anything is wrong with hardware... cooling seems to be fine, the temps are stable and not growing rapidly. I can't even boot in to firewire target mode. Going to have to haul the box up to the apple store this weekend and see what they can do. :cry

I had this problem on my laptop while in Scotland. Couldn't boot from an external, target mode, nothing. They replaced the hard drive and all was fine. This was pre-10.5.3, though. Anyway, short story, it was the hardware.
I can claim past ownership of the 1984 Macintosh, the 1990 Macintosh Classic, then there was the time I now refer to as the dark ages, and finally the 2006 Mac Book Pro.
there are a few other bits and peices I can claim ownership of, but that's the main jist of it.
Ah, at one time I managed, a Power Mac 6100, two Quadra 800s, Powerbook, Power Mac, and two 'clones'. This was 1996-7.
The Macs were more troublesome than the Windows PCs in the office, mostly because the graphic artists had all these plug ins that they were constantly needed to restart their Macs to initialize. It was a mess. I believe this was OS 7 or so.
Just slightly off topic (although OS X brings it back in ) Will never forget going to a seminar on the Next computer during Grad school. I was blown away, the OS was beautiful, and it came with an OPTICAL drive, which was just so amazing. All boring now, but I remember thinking there has to be a way to find $10,000 to get one of those things.

Halp!
My up-to-date, Leopard-running Mac mini (Intel) had a kernel panic. I was using Firefox and it crashed. I tried rebooting it, and when I rebooted it (about 12 times), all I got was a blue screen, much like the BSOD. I am able to boot from the Leopard install DVD and run Disk Utility, but to no avail. The AppleCare phone support guy suggested I do an Archive and Install from the Leopard DVD, but there's not enough room on my HD for an Archive and Install installation.
Before I schlep the mini to the local Genius Bar, does anyone have any sage advice?

I am fully backed up , and I have access to a PC (from which I am writing this).
PC doesn't help with what I was thinking, which was booting into Firewire Target mode. Only Mac to Mac for that.
If you're fully backed up, then just erase and install and then restore from your back up.
But a kernel panic is 9x out of 10 a hardware issue, in my experience. If not more. It is really rare that it doesn't indicate the need to replace something.

Jeez I hope you're wrong...but my instinct says, you're right.:cry
It's just over two years old...and I've had it worked on a LOT. Unfortunately. It's been really troublesome, which is weird because I've never had many issues with Apple hardware in the past.
But I guess if worse comes to worse, we can get that new MBP that I've been lusting after.

Is it covered by AppleCare? If so, you may want to just take it in and have it repaired. You could even end up with a HD upgrade.

For those not checking:
there are reports of a serious incompatibility between OS X 10.5.3 and CS3

I'm using Dropbox to share and sync files between two computers. I have two invites left. If anyone wants one pm me your email address.
It seems like a good app.
