Kerning around 1 is NEVER right!

Using InDesign CS6:
This has been going on for YEARS... Using the best, most traditional fonts (and as a designer I have thousands), when there's a "1" in a number (see below) and especially when that number appears in large type (like a header), or even on a business card — I find myself CONSTANTLY correcting the kerning before and after that "1".... I'm wondering, how come?... And is there a script that can correct this globally?
Thanks.

So I tried your idea using \d+ and only these 2 font lines showed to be affected and moved, Arno Pro and, again, Trajan Pro (maybe that's why they're called "Pro"?...), and actually EVERYTHING moved and the spaces became more equal VISUALLY.
Wasn't that what you really wanted? Proper kerning for ALL pairs of numbers. Fixing only the 1 still leaves minor errors in spacing with the other numbers, it's just less noticeable with wider glyphs.
I think I'm gonna give up on this.... If an OT font like Helvetica doesn't have proportional figures (so it seems), I don't see much hope to go thru a global fix, I'll have to manually take care of that one 1....
Not all Pro fonts have proportional figures...
As I said earlier, you can create GREP styles that will adjust the tracking for a character before a 1, and for the 1 before another character, so that it will be automatic, but it probably will take a bit of trial and error to find the correct amounts of tracking to apply, and it's unlikely a single value will work for all cases. I was asked to fix this very same problem for a set of serial numbers last week that used a font with terrible kerning, even in the alphabetic characters and of course no proportional figures. I ended up with, I believe, 7 different GREP styles to handle the limited cases in that file. You might need more or less, depending on if numbers mix with alphabetical glyphs.

After exporting my pictures from lightroom 3 and take them to photo lab to print pictures are never right size. example 4x6 chops off some of pictures. Help

How can I fix when exporting my pictures and never are right size when take to photo lab

You need to crop them before you export them and take them to a print shop.
4x6 is a standard 3/2 ratio, 2 x 3 = 6 and 2 x 2 = 4. 90% of cameras on the market use that ratio as a sensor size. There are also 4/3, 16/9 and 1/1 ratio cameras. Which camera do you use, make and model?
More than likely the camera you are using is either a 4/3 or you have it set to take image in either the 4/3 or 16/9 ratio. If you ask the photo lab to print them as they are, No Cropping, you will get the whole image with a larger white boarder either on the top/bottom or sides.
You can crop them to a specific ratio in LR so they fit better on 4x6 paper and contain the image parts you most like.
It really has nothing to do with exporting and or exporting setting. It does have to do with the size, ratio, of the image you are exporting and taking to the print place.

HT201363 My account is asking for my security questions, but the answer to one is never right. Also, I can't receive reset information because the emergency email ends with .con, a mistake I missed when creating my account. Please help me I'm getting very

Please help, my account will be locked. The safety email is s*****@gmail.con. It ends with .con. IT ENDS WITH .con. Since the last time you people didn't take that into account I decided to make it very obvious. Also, I can't change the email because I have to answer the security questions. Which I can't do because out of 4 choices, none are correct, and I can't get a reset email because the email doesn't exist and will never exist. I'm getting irritated because I also can't get proper support, mostly because I connot call, and the support I received didn't solve my problem because they didn't bother to read the whole problem. This is ruining my Apple experience, please help, or help me find someone who can.

The other option is the ExpressLane at https://expresslane.apple.com and then iTunes, iTunes Store, Password and Security Questions, Forgotten Security Questions and then you have choices for making contact but those are still limited to calls or rescue email. So this comes back to the same problem if you cannot call or receive an email.

Orientation is never right.

I shoot with a Nikon D80. I really like iPhoto BUT.....
Big Problem.
The Orientations look right when viewed at a certain enlargement (when the photos are small) As soon as i begin zooming in to look at a specific photo iPhoto will rotate the images horizontally.
It is very odd, I try to compensate but its like the program just doens't know the orientation. If I double click and image and view it orientation is right. It really slows down the program and is very annoying to preview and edit photos.
any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Steve

It sounds like your thumbnails are a little messed up. When you view your photos in iPhoto, its actually displaying thumbnail images it creates when you import or edit the photos. It keeps different size thumbnails for the various zoom levels used to view the photos. I suppose it does this because its much faster to display the thumbnails that the fullsize photo files scaled down.
The problem you probably see is some of your thumbnails didn't get properly updated when the photo was rotated. So when you view those thumbnails, things look wrong. The only way to fix this is to rebuild your thumbnails.
To rebuild thumbnails, quit iPhoto if its running. Start iPhoto while holding down the command and option keys on the keyboard. A "Rebuild Photo Library" dialog box will open. First try the first option to rebuild the photos' small thumbnails. If this works you're done. If it doesn't, you'll need to try the second option after restarting iPhoto again with command and option keys held down. This option can take a long time depending on how many photos you have which is why you may not want to select it the first time.

Download time around 8 hours right now and it is just half way ??

Ich habe gestern OS X Lion versucht herunter zu laden. Ok Busy Busy , der arme Server. Nun bin ich seit 8 Stunden damit beschäftigt zu warten das Lion geladen wird. Wärend dessen kann ich leider kein Mailprogramm benutzen... HELP !!

If a reset doesn't help, it's possible you could have an issue with your charger or the cable. So if you have spares you can swap them out. Also, are you sure you're using an iPad charger and not an iPhone one? the iPhone puts out less power than the iPad and that can account for slow charging.
if none of that works then you may want to make an appintment at your local apple store and have them check it out, especially if you're near the end of your warranty, you want to do it before that year is up in case it's covered.

Whenever my itunes updates pop up, I click on 'all' and go through the motions but it never does update and goes around in circles and never updates. Help?

My computer cannot seem to do updates. The pop ups appear yet when I click to update the menu continues to come back around and never completes an update. Please help?

Synced media like songs and apps are not included in the iPod backup that iTunes makes. Thus, if that media is not in the iTunes library it can be restore to the iPod.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

How do I wrap text around a picture in Pages 5.5?

Using Yosemite, MacBook Pro (late 2009) Pages v. 5.5. Previous version of Pages let me wrap text around pictures in newsletters. I can't find this option or how-to anywhere in v. 5.5. How do I wrap text around one side or another of an inserted picture?

Assuming your text is in your document, and you insert a picture. While the picture is selected, you will notice that on the right format panel, the Arrange tab has appeared. Select either Stay on Page, or Move with Text — depending on your image goal — and then look at the Text Wrap feature. By default, once you drop a picture into the document, it is set to Automatic. This means you can place your pointer in the image and just move it around, while text flows around it. The smaller the image the better the flow effect. This is a discussion about Pages v5.2.2, but it will work the same in v5.5.
Let's say you want the image flush aligned to the left margin, but want text to flow above, to the right, and below the image. Change text wrap automatic to Around, select the right icon for Text Fit, and adjust your spacing up or down for the proximity of the text wrap to the image. It looks like this with Text Fit spacing set to 9 pt.

In mail, how do I get the wheel to stop going around and around beside the "sent" on the side of the screen?d

I am having trouble getting rid of the annoying broken up circle going around and around on the right side of "sent" in the left panel. I went into mail preferences and retyped the passwords for the server, but it still keeps going. Also tried a repeat sending of the message. Now the messages keeps showing up in the Outbox with the wheel still turning. Is there anything more to do or is this a matter for my server company?

I just checked with my service provider to make sure that my passwords are the same for them as well as my mail for this account. Was able to send an email from online, but not mail on my iMac even though when I edited my accounts in Mail preferences to be sure that the password matches. This is driving me crazy. Please help.

White iPhone 5 has small nicks around the bezel...

ok well ive had my iphone since launch day and it had nicks around the bezel right out of the box, also it had the "yellow" screen and a loose power button, i was going to exchange it for a new one but i thought i should wait so i could get a better quality one... but yesterday i dropped my iphone and it has a pretty noticable crack on the top left of the bezzel. will apple still let me exchange it?

Your best bet is to take it to a apple store and see what they can do for you. As far as the yellow screen. It is normal and should go away in time. The loose power botton is a problem tho.

Unnecessary space around table in an iview

Dear all,
Ive a simple model with only one table.
After I compile the model and It is shown in a iView, the table is not centered inside the iView, instead, an unnecessary space is around the table (Right side and bottom), I mean, between the table and the limit of the iView there is a blank space which constrain the table to be at the center of the iView.
Any help would be ok!
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Andres.

wa,
The gaps around the sides are margins. The sizes of the margins are set in the Sheet Inspector. There are minimum margins, based upon what your printer driver has communicated to Numbers, where your printer is unable to print.
Your table will split and flow onto multiple pages whenever it encroaches upon the margins. You can prevent this by not making the rows and columns quite so large, and by eliminating any unneeded ones.

How do I get around global script protection in my CMS?

We have global script protection enabled on our CF server. I am the admin with full rights. The tags it scans for and replaces with "invalidTag" are these, which are located in the neo-security.xml file:
object|iframe|embed|xss|script|javascript|applet|meta
However, we ocassionally introduce these tags into pages controlled by our CMS, which of course go into a database. When that happens the tags are replaced with "invalidTag".
I want and need script protection enabled to prevent against hackers, but I also want to be able to add these tags to our local CMS. What is the best way around this? Right now, I actually had to remove "object" and "embed" from the list it scans against, but I feel like this defeats the purpose.
When I Googled this issue I saw a couple of hacks that had something to do with re-writing the tag after it was sent into the database, but that seems kind of polish to me. I'm wondering if I'm missing some simple trick to get around this. But then I guess if I could, a hacker could.
Thanks for any advice.

Thanks for clearing that up. I think you said it succinctly yourself: 'I actually had to remove "object" and "embed" from the list it scans against, but I feel like this defeats the purpose'. I think it's a matter of weighing the risks and the benefits, and then making a choice.

Why doesn't my apple TV 2 see my new photo albums right away?

When I create a new photo album to iPhoto, I can't figure out how to get it to show up on Apple TV right away. It eventually does, but never right away, sometimes it takes days... The same happens with new events when I import new photos into iPhoto. Homesharing is ON, and iPhoto preferences is set to 'share entire library'.

iTunes/AppleTV's seem unpredictable about how they update content availability.
I added some Amazon MP3s to itunes last night but they failed to appear on my AppleTV1, even after a restart, until I restarted iTunes.
I think that in reality AppleTV just isn't mad aware that new things have been added to itunes/iPhoto as oftem/quickly as you'd like.
Usually restarting iTunes and AppleTV sorts it.

Apple Mail can never send messages!

I have a gmail account that I view through Apple Mail. Anytime I try to send a message to someone, I get this error.
"Cannot send message using the serve smtp.gmail.com:[email protected]
Use the pop-up menu below to try a different outgoing mail server. All messages will use this server until you quit Mail or change your Network settings.
Message from : <[email protected]>
Send Message using: smtp.gmail.com:[email protected]
Options: Cancel, Use Selected Server, or Try Again Later."
Ususally, I click Use Selected Server and it works but sometimes it doesn't. First of all, it should work the first time around and never give me this message. Secondly, even after the second attempt it's not 100% reliable.
What's wrong?
P.S.

Never Mind. Fixed it.
Apple Mail users: At times, Mail may misinterpret your SMTP server settings. If you currently have 'smtp.gmail.com:[email protected]' in the 'Outgoing Mail Server:' field of your settings, please try changing the field to 'smtp.gmail.com' and saving your settings.
