Missing the Canon EOS utility and can not find your CD. Canon does not provide the original version of EOS utility on their website. All the updates they do provide can only be installed on your system if you have the old version on CD or on your Hard drive.

I have encountered this problem and I found a solution for mac.

First of all, get the update for EOS Utility from the official site. The important part is has to be the EOS Utility 2.4 Updater for Mac OS X (Mac OS 10.3 -10.5)

The newer version can not have this hack applied to it.

After you download it then drag the app to your desktop and then right click to “show its contents” Then navigate to [Contents > Resources] and remove the file (update.plist)

Now you can run this application as a normal installer and not just an upgrader.

Adobe Photoshop Brushes Dissapear

Have you been using photoshop and the brushes tool just stops showing the size and only the cross-hairs?  You know you did not go into the preferences and change it to show cross hairs. You have restarted photoshop and its still not the right tool setting. Don’t panic,  Its a simple fix. You have the CAPS Locks button on. So no need to check the preferences nor to restart the computer. Just click it off and resume work.

If that did not solve your problem then here is another fix. If your brush is just not showing up completely then you can try this. Go into the control panel and under Display > select Settings > then click on the Advanced button > and then go into the troubleshooting folder.Adjust your  slider under “Hardware Acceleration” one or two notches to the left. Then your brushes display should work normally. Hopefully you will not notice much, if any decrease in performance.

I hope one of these solutions works for you.

Nikon D200If you watch closely Best Buy has been selling new Nikon D200′s for $599.00 plus tax and shipping. They list their sale on or about the 15th of the month for the last . They only run it for 48 hours. I caught the last one and bought it. The D200 is a great camera for that price point. I had my eye on a D90 but it still $900 and does not have a sealed body. Plus they say the video capabilities are just about worthless. If you set you home page to DealMac.com it will tell you when this deal comes back around plus of course lots of other great deals. I have also found many compact flash memory card deals.
