NancyA

I just found it in folders! buried but there. I guess when I showed "library" it became available. It use to be outside of library and showing as a folder. I guess that might be as good as it will get.

I have COVID and haven't been able to focus/follow this. I had managed to get it into "favorites" by dragging dropping it from somewhere. Can't remember now how (google did it). But is there a way to get it back into "Folders". I use folders because I like to see all the folders in the left so I can move easier around them. Also can I just delete that original "NancyAbby" that shows in users? If I delete it, can I then rename the "NancyAbby 1" user to NancyAbby? It isn't the "dropbox folder" I want to change but the "user name". "it" is referring to my computer. I didn't mean change the dropbox folder name.

I can't get dropbox to show in bridge. It was there before the last wipe of my hard drive but disappeared when I had to reinstall OS. I've googled but what it is telling me to do, I can't find the buttons to check. Navigate to User/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox "cloudStorage" doesn't exist there. It said to then drag it to bride favorites. The "app" is in applications so I tried dragged it from there. It goes but doesn't show the folders. When I reinstalled the system rather than still being NancyAbby user it created a NancyAbby_1 user which is the one it uses. I'm wondering if that is part of the issue. I've been tempted to delete the original nancyabby but scared I'll do it wrong. Screen shot attached. As you can see there is a deleted user "Nancyabby" also and those folders are all empty. Can I just say MAC screwed me over wiping the hard drive just to replace a bad key on the keyboard!! Sequoia 15.5. Apple M2 Max 16 in 2023. 64 GB memory.

I had not done this yet. Was waiting to see what you thought. I did the erase and it backed up with no issues other than took several hours which I think would be expected. I'm still a little skeptical of it and it ever fails again I'll ditch it! It is fairly new but I know in reality that means nothing. Thank you!

I had keys on keyboard not work after they did a new hard drive on my matchbook pro 16 in 2023; 64 GB memory; sequoia 15.4.1; 2 TB. For some idiotic reason they wiped my hard drive to fix a key so I'm back fixing loose ends again! I used Time Machine back up to get everything back up and going. I am now trying to do a new backup as everything is almost back to normal. When I used the same external, 1st time it froze up at about 32% complete, I canceled it and started over. It said about 3 hrs so I went to bed and forgot to check it first thing this morning. At 11 hrs it was not quite 50% and said would take 11 more hrs. and both computer and external were hot hot! So, I cancelled again. I use a 4TB WD for backup. At this point I backed up to a 2 TB SSD external in about 45 min. but this is only temporary as it isn't large enough for long term use. I am hoping if I reformat the 4TB WD that that issue will be resolved. Is that correct or do I just need a new external. I did a search and was trying to follow this thread to reformat: https://ask.damiensymonds.net/topic/57543-external-hard-drive/#comment-403792. But of course issue isn't exact so ran into first question. Partitions are so out of my league so I'm clueless. Is this what it should be? I don't have an "apply" option without doing something but not sure what that something is????? Thanks!

I know! I generally wait until it gets stable before do anything. I'll set on this for a while and be very content! Thanks!

For now I have rolled back to vs 26.5 and it is working properly. On MAC forum it appears to be a known issue and they are supposedly working on a fix.

PS 26.6 evidently does not like the processor on macbook pro 2015 (screenshot of specs). File is fine in RAW but when I try to open in PS all I get is a black screen. I googled and found it had to do with the processor and the "graphic processor" under performance had to be turned off which I did and then it does work. But today I had a really bad lag to the point I had to close and reopen when I tried to move a copy/pasted layer from another file and the copy/paste was tiny. My first thought was the processor but could be way off on that thinking. Have you experienced this and if so is this the only fix for now? If I go back to 2024 it works. Sequoia is up to date. Thank you!

Sorry to bother you. I fixed it! I was just stumped because some worked and some didn't and assumed a setting on the external. It was a "Mac" setting but why some worked and some didn't still doesn't make sense but adding it to privacy & security full access did the trick. I'm not sure I'm going to survive this new hard drive. Small glitches occurring every day!

I had to get a new hard drive/motherboard just to get a new bad port on my MacBook Pro laptop. I had no trouble with this external on previous hard drive but now it is showing as in the attached screenshot. It shows in finder with all the folders/images. This one is WD elements 10TB working in Finder not Bridge. These work in both finder & Bridge: G Drive & a WD 5 TB. A screenshot of the one not working shows the person as "system". The ones working show as "Nancy Abby (Me). Screen shot included. Hopefully I have included everything you will need. Thanks!

Definitely!! Driving me silly (it doesn't take much!). I just did the one folder and can't tell but I may just need to do all of them. I opened a few other folders and they didn't show until I clicked on one edited and then it changed but I can handle that for a one time thing! Leave it to me to find something new for you.

I had not. That fixed it after I reopened and closed them. Thanks!

Always something new to throw me. When I open a file from Bridge, do a RAW edit, click open or done, when I go back to Bridge it is not displaying the new raw vs. I did four RAW edits. In Bridge the 1st is showing but not the other three. I opened one of them individually to RAW, clicked done and still not showing the updated vs. I tried a new one and it isn't showing! Only the first one in the set of 30. I just did the latest update. Closed, rebooted, still not showing. Not sure when this started but it was significantly after I updated to Sequoia & after I updated to PS 26.3. I'm on VS 17.2.0.2155 of Camera RAW. When I reopen the files in RAW they show the previous edit. It is only in bridge I do not see the current edit. These two have the identical edit on them. MAC 2023 running Sequoia 15.3.1, 64 GB memory.

Sure. But I googled first and couldn’t find any info for camera raw shortcuts so I doubt I find one 😢 You’re the guru. Tell them to fix that!!

Is there a way to assign a shortcut key to a preset in camera raw? Thanks!
