Last I checked, XP didn’t support PSD files, so the Tiger solution should work even better.

“Some categories have more elaborate previews. For example, images can be displayed in a full-screen slide show. During the slide show, each image can be zoomed to fill the screen, or copied into the user’s iPhoto library with a single click (complete with a genie-like animation). There’s also a “contact sheet” effect that tiles all the images in a full-screen grid of thumbnails.”

Do you mean more than just the beep? If so:

Most likely not as the thread is being spawned by the program and probably just using its resources. If it spawns a new Process ID, then it is easy to do using the Activity Monitor. I don’t know of anything simple that would allow you to kill a thread.

“It is important to note that in the Tiger release, the support for 64-bit programming does not extend throughout the entire set of APIs available on Mac OS X. Most notably, the Cocoa and Carbon GUI application frameworks are not ready for 64-bit programming. In practical terms, this means that the “heavy lifting” of an application that needs 64-bit support can be done by a background process which communicates with a front-end 32-bit GUI process via a variety of mechanisms including IPC and shared memory.”
From https://developer.apple.com/macosx/tiger/64bit.htmlSounds true and makes perfect sense in the current state of the mac. Only the the iMac and PowerMac have G5 processors and they are converting code to 64-bit in logical chunks. Tiger makes a big advancement in terms of Core Image and Core Data so maybe with this huge amount of work completed they will focus on updating the GUI libraries to be 64-bit compliant as well. The GUI can call 64-bit non GUI code though… so in theory FCP or other apps could make separate “render” applications that simply pass back the data at the end of their jobs. The conclusion on the page hints at this:
“As you have seen, Mac OS X Tiger takes the next step in 64-bit computing with the ability to build certain types of applications, such as server applications, and background processes used by renderers and computational engines, as 64-bit applications. These lower-level tools can communicate with graphical front-end applications for presentation and other visually-oriented functions.”

You could also try using the terminal to see if the files are being seen by the system at all or if it is just a Finder issue. If you need help using the terminal, let me know and I’ll give you the commands you need to try.

One other thing to check, if you got them in an email as an attatchment, check their file permissions…

Here is what I could find on Mac OS X… unfortunately, it looks like they’ve moved all 10.3.x info to support! 10.4 isn’t even shipping yet!!!!

Look here for the software you need…

You can do a google search for mac undelete files and see what comes up. Prosoft has quite a few data recovery tools but from some forums on macosxhints it sounds like they could be gone.
