The H command to hide Photoshop changed
So why the command H to hide Photoshop has been changed?

Well that's the control command: now hide Photoshop. Why they add control, it's mind-boggling.
This isn't really what happened. Let's get the story straight.
Since the first (early 1990s) versions of Photoshop on Mac, Command-H is the shortcut to view > Extras (like hiding the selection rectangle). Thousands and thousands of Mac Photoshop users were trained in the use of Command-H for this.
In 2001, Apple released Mac OS X. It came with a standard system shortcut to hide an application: command-H. However, OS X was in conflict with Photoshop, which used Command-H for a very important function for a decade already. Now, if you change a popular keyboard shortcut, people get really upset. (That's why this topic was started.) Which Adobe users should keep happy? Value of the Decade of Mac Photoshop users who are looking for a command + H to be view > Extras, or new OS X users who expect Command-H the standard way Mac applications to hide? Whatever it is, many users Mac Photoshop would be angry.
The way Adobe is out of this impasse was to give you the choice. If you are using a new installation of Photoshop or reset your Photoshop preferences, the first time you press Command-H with Photoshop on a Mac, you'll see a dialog box where you can choose what you want to do Command-H. If you haven't seen this, either you you press return when he appeared and it went away forever, or maybe someone else has already made the choice on the Mac.
But even if your copy of Photoshop is already configured to use command-control-H to hide, you're not stuck. In Photoshop, simply choose Edition > shortcuts keyboard, then find and click in the view > shortcut Options and press command-H for it defined in this way.
That is the real story. If you Command-H to hide Photoshop, it's your choice and you can set at any time.

In Gimp, there is a command called "alpha to selection" which automatically selects the alpha channel of the image or layer. What is the equivalent command that in Photoshop? I tried Googling it but everything that comes is tutorials on masks. I just want to know what to select the alpha automatically without using a 'magic wand' to select one by one.
CMD (mac) or Ctrl (pc), click on everything that has transparency and that load a selection. This includes layers with transparency, masks layers, channels and paths. Also, there is a selection at the bottom of the layers, paths and channels Panel icon that looks like a dotted circle.

How can I see what changes I made to the terminal command?
I don't know what changes I made to the terminal command and I want to see if I can cancel an any of them because I have inadvertently artificial virus. I use the latest version of Mac OS X (10.11.3) on a Macbook Pro of the retina. I have reviewed the reset of the computer to the factory settings, but I don't know if that will clear the terminal the previous commands. Thank you in advance!
Terminal Server can 'remember' commands you have issued. Open Terminal and type this command
history
What you get is a complete list of commands executed when using Terminal. If you don't you probably erased from history or abnormally closed the Terminal application.
Alternatively, you can paste this list here so that we can analyze what you were doing.

After changing the name of a folder or a file on the desktop or by creating a new folder (and then hit enter), the folder or the text file doesn't change - until I use the Refresh command. Then, the text shows correctly and the movements of folder or a file in a place open to the top left of the screen. Before using "Refresh" the folder or the file will not open. When I save a file on the desktop is not visible until the 'Refresh' is used. Sometimes, but not always the same behavior occurs in other folders as well. I use Win XP SP3. Can someone please shed some light on this?

Hello my dear
I would like to ask how to change the binding of the network through the powershell command or back order.
I know it could be changed as below.
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-GB/Windows/change-network-protocol-bindings-order#1TC=Windows-7
but I want to change it via text command. Because sometimes, I change it many servers via GUI and then happened a long time depending on the amount of servers.
If it can be modified it using the command text, or registry, it will be useful for me.
Thank you.
This issue is beyond the scope of this site (for consumers) and to be sure, you get the best (and fastest) reply, we have to ask either on Technet (for IT Pro) or MSDN (for developers) -
Why is it when I save as jpeg photoshop changes the color.
When saving an image in jpeg photoshop changes the color. also if I save the same image in the same folder a quality jpeg and the other in tiff format, when I discover the jpeg first, then scroll to the other image, that both of them have the same green change desaturated color but if I find the first tiff, then highlight the JPEG then two of them are very good. I can't find out what is the problem and why whoever I find first would make a difference. When you view the tiff, first of all, images are displayed on a white background and if the JPEG is opened first, they appear on a black background. I can't get my head around this help would be appreciated. Congratulations in advance.
The jpeg format has integrated Adobe RGB.
The PNG is untagged (has no color profile embedded).
Convert to sRGBand make sure that the sRGB profile is embedded in the file.

Photoshop CS6 crashes when I call the print command. I have reset the default preferences. I don't know if it's a computer problem or Photoshop. Photoshop works in every other sense. I can print from Lightroom.
Try holding SHIFT keys when you start Photoshop. Try to hold the space bar when you click on print. What is information on your system?
