Is there a way to make Illustrator save in the background, like Photoshop?

Out of Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator, Illustrator is definitely the one I have most problems working with, due to small UI differences and ways of handling things
Like the fact that you can't drag next to a number to change it, like in Photoshop. Or the fact that I can't sync my settings (it only says "Signed in as:", and when I press Manage Account, I'm taken to my CC files in Safari).
But most annoying is the fact that whenever I'll save a document in Illustrator, a dialogue box opens letting me know the progress of the saving. Not only does this make me unable to continue working on the document (if the file is large, it takes some time), the app icon starts jumping in the dock if I switch to another program before the box appears.
So, is there any way to make it save in the background, like in Photoshop? I'm running OS X, with Illustrator version 17.1.0.

This really frustrates me, small differences between the apps that shouldn't be there.
I understand you can't change the keyboard shortcuts to be the same/similar, but this is totally different. Let's hope it changes soon.

Is there a way to make all page margins the same?

I've exported a book file from indesign. Since the pages were in a book-type spread, the odd and even pages have different margins. The odd page has the bigger margin on the left, while the even has the bigger margin on the right. Is there any way to make these identical after the fact. I can't go back and redo the indesign file.

Thanks, there are 382 pages. Can't do them one by one. And I purposely made the margins different in indesign, to give people more space in the middle. The margins are as follows:
But when I try to reverse the inside outside on one page of the spread, just reverse them, so the dimensions are the SAME, all the text and photos move.

Is there a way to make comments "move to the back", behind the text and lines?

Is there a way to make comments "move to the back", behind the text and lines?
I am using Acrobat X Standard to "highlight" lines using comments lines at 12pt width and 50% opacity on DWG files converted to PDF. The opacity setting makes the text and lines readable behind the highlighting, but the colors do not print well. Moving the highlighting behind the existing text and lines would allow me to use 100% opacity with more vibrant colors.
Before, we highlighted by hand, but those colors do not scan or copy well. Digitizing the highlighting is cleaner, and can be edited without starting over. The "comments" lines can be applied by Acrobat Reader, Acrobat Standard, and Acrobat Pro, so there's an advantage. Even more important is that the average file size of an 11x17 print that is highlighted and scanned in color is 1000 KB, while doing it this way, they tend to be 100-150 KB, and the text remains searchable. If there's another system that people use, I'm open to that instead. I haven't looked in to doing the highlighting in AutoCAD.
Naturally, everything I'm doing is protected, and cannot be shared, sorry.
Thanks.

No, that's not really an option.

Is it secure to have the pulic open a resource guide in Adobe Reader? Or is there a way to make sure anyone using the link to the guide is secure?

Is it secure to have the public open a resource guide in an Adobe Reader PDF? Or is there a way to make sure anyone using the link to the guide is protected?
Not sure how to find an answer to this.
Thanks, GM

I am trying to post a 123 page resource guide online for the public to access through the website of a non profit. The guide has a lot of web links for to use for more information. But there have been clickability issues when using some browsers to download the PDF and so I would prefer to suggest that they try to download the resource into Adobe Reader before using. I want to make sure that this would securely safe for readers and users.
Sorry I was not clear in my original question and thank you for your kind attention.
Thank you again,

Close inactive apps in the background. No need to reset.
Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two. Tap the minus sign to close app.

Is there a way to make it automatically set the ouputs of new tracks to Bus 5? (or something other than Stereo Out?)

When I add a new track, it is automatically set to Stereo Out, is there a way to make it automatically set to Bus 5? I use a mix that sends everything through busses and every time I add a track it seems I have to adjust this.
Thanks

...and/or setup one or more tracks the way you want.. and then create/save a template and load that when you want to start a new project...
You can even have Logic (via it's Startup preferences) autoload that template every time you start a new project... by choosing your template as the default one.
See this page in the User Guide for more info

Is there a way to make movies open with the same screen size and position?

Hello, I'm a new mac guy having just bought an i-mac a few months ago.
I have a bunch of saved movies that open in quick time. Each time I open a separate movie by double clicking the file, the window opens in the upper right hand corner in a fairly small window. I must then drag the window size and location to a much larger size. I do this every time.
I saw under quicktime, preferences, a section about preferences for full screen. This seems to work one time, for that movie, but all subsequent movies (even in full screen) or their same size.
Is there a way to make the window size and/or location permanent?
Thanks.

this would have seemed like an easy thing to do but i've had no luck; one more attempt at a solution?

In full screen mode (with "Hide Toolbars" selected), is there a way to make FF stop bumping the page up and down everytime I move the mouse to the top of the screen to reveal/hide the toolbar?

In other words, is there a way to make FF behave like IE9 in full screen mode where the toolbar appears "over" the page rather than pushing the page down?

Hello,
Could you please elaborate what exactly you are referring to with "I can't get the link to diplay as a different colour"?
Regarding your second query, I am afraid it is not possible using Adobe Muse. However it can be a very nice feature request.
I would suggest you to post this as a feature request on our "Ideas for features in Adobe Muse" section of the forums : http://forums.adobe.com/community/muse/ideas

Is there a way to have applications run in the background after I log out?

New to Mavericks, have a new iMac after being on Leopard for years. After I log out, all the applications I had running stop and close. Is there a way to keep those running? It seems like logging out, and the applications stopping, would negate the ability to see any notifications on the lock screen. I have multiple users set up on this computer, is that the reason?

By definition, logging out means quitting all your processes. If you want to log in as a different user without logging out, see below.
OS X Mavericks: Switch quickly between users

Is there a way to make photo files on the computer the same as the files in iPhoto?

I have all my photos organized in iPhoto but they are not organized the same way in the photo section of my files. Is there a way to have them show the same files? When ever I need to add a photo to a website I can't find the same one's I have in iPhoto since I'm only able to upload them from the photo file section and not iPhoto.
Thanks!

No and neither is there any need to.
When ever I need to add a photo to a website I can't find the same one's I have in iPhoto since I'm only able to upload them from the photo file section and not iPhoto.
Just need to learn how to use iPhoto:
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

When changing apps to full screen, is there a way to make them appear to the left of pre-existing desktops/apps in mission control?

I'm not sure when this changed (it was a while ago, possibly with OS X Mountain Lion, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't always this way?) but full-screening apps used to add them to the left of everything else. Now, things are added to the right side of the thumbnail strip, which is extremely inconvenient for me.
Is there any way to change it back?

Strange, it's working fine now. Nevermind.

Is there a way to make List View in the Calendar your default view in iOS7?

I want to be able to have the List View be my default view on my calendar but I can't find a way to do this. Is there something I am missing?

No, it's not possible. However, there are lots of apps available in App Store that will let you do that. Week Call, Fantatical, Cal, are juste a couple.
Best of luck.

Is there any way to make 'stroke path' a keyboard shortcut in photoshop cs6?

because it would make things easier.
It's a right click command when using the pen tool and instead of doing that every. single. time...
it would be easier to just make a keyboard short cut but im not sure how to assign shortcuts to right click commands. is this possible?

Thank you so much for this info. I jumped online to see if I could stroke path without the confirmation box coming up every time this does help but having to make the path with pen tool, then switch to brush with B then hit enter to stroke, then back to pen with P. Guess its about as good as I will get. I have two buttons on my intous 3 pen. i had one for stroke path and one for delete path, but it was asking to to confirm pen pressure every time. Thanks very much!!

Is there a way to make drag and drop slides behave like question slides?

I created a drag and drop interaction that I want to include in an assessment with other quiz questions. I am having two problems
1. The submit and reset buttons do not display for the full 3.0s duration of the slide. Once the user clicks submit, the feedback caption displays and the buttons disappear.
2. The slide auto advances to the next question. I want the slide pause until the user "clicks anywhere to continue."
Does anyone know a work around to get a drag and drop slide to mimic question slide behavior?
Thanks!
