3d bevel and emboss, the other side Deboss

I am trying to make an edging on a coin/icon. I want it to look like the photo. How do I create a debossed look in Illustrator. Thanks for the help.

Unfortunately, in AI's 3D Extrude & Bevel tool, negative numbers aren't allowed, so it can't produce a deboss. You could possibly emboss <around> your desired deboss areas, to "fake" a deboss. However ...
In general, Effect > 3D > Extrude & Bevel generates so many errors that I only use it in very limited situations, certainly not where there are many shapes around a full circle, like the edge texture of a coin. (I've sent a bug report to Adobe about this.)
Because of these limitations, I wouldn't use AI to do what you need, unless you're willing to illustrate everything manually. There are other tools that might be worth trying, such as Photoshop - its lighting effects can use a "texture map" from an alpha channel for depth, which might work better for you. Here's a quick'n'dirty example of that idea in Photoshop using lighting effects on a slightly blurred object from AI, on a channel:
This method also allows both emboss and deboss.
Good luck. :+)

HT204053 What are the pros and cons of 1) choosing to use the SAME Apple ID for iCloud services on one side, and purchases on the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBookstore, on the other side; or 2) to have and use two separate Apple Ids for these "two sides

All is in the title, so I repeat it below with a better identation.
What are the pros and cons of
1) choosing to use the SAME
Apple ID for iCloud services on one side, and
purchases on the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBookstore, on the other side; or
2) to have and use two separate Apple Ids for these "two sides"?
P.S.
I have loads and loads of free podcasts in iTunes in my iMac, that are certainly more thant the 5 gigas the iCloud provides for free, so I don't want those to go to the cloud. But this is perhaps a different question...
Also need to mention that I have itunes on a mac, a pc and an iphone.
Sorry to look so silly with this question, but I don't get the "big picture".

You need to create a user account for your wife (or yourself depending on who has the current user account). When syncing, each of you should sign in as a separate user, login to iTunes and then sync. I had this problem when my sister got an iPhone. When we did her initial sync, everything on my iPhone showed up on hers. Apple gave me this solution.

I'm having trouble making calls with my Iphone 4. When I try to, the person on the other side can't hear me, and all I can hear are noises. But when I use apps like Viber or Facetime, I can make calls just fine! What may be the problem?

Did you fix the problem? I have the same problem and it has been pain in the neck.

At the bottom - the url if you click on it - it switches to the other side of the browser. How do I disable that completely - it's annoying and gets into the way

This is not an issue of functionality. But in convenience. When you click on a link or pass over a link in a webpage, at the bottom of the browser it shows the url. sometimes if you hover or that it switches to the other side of the browser. For example: The Link is firefox. Hover over it and at the bottom is shows http://www.mozila.org. And if you click on it while it is going to the website, if you hover over the URL it moves to the other corner of the browser. My question is - is there a way to disable that function in Firefox. Sometimes that URL just sits there if you don't have over it or click it off. It's just a bit annoying at times.

That can happen if the link is at the bottom on the browser window and is (partly) covered by the link preview notification that used to be on the status bar in previous Firefox versions.
If you hover such a link that is covered by the pop-up the Firefox may swap that link for right to left or vice versa.
You can use this extension to hide the pop-up that shows the URL of a link on hover and other data that previously appeared on the Status bar.

Does it get overly hot when used?
Can't decide whether they are the product of overheating or merely that someone sprayed some product nearby, that was incompatible with the plastic.

please can anbody help or advise?

You didn't mention any color calibration being done on your monitor. This is an essential part of any color-correct workflow. What are you using to calibrate your monitor (and your printer)?
Print profiles (for soft-proofing as well as printing) are for specific combinations of paper & printer. The nine you have are each, most likely, for a common paper (perhaps mfr'd by Canon) to be used with your printer.
I don't know what you mean when you say "I choose a high standard print option".
Have you read the User Manual chapter on printing?
Printing Your Images
There is also a good appendix on calibration:

I used to be able to print labels for burned CDs with the cover being the playlist name and the other side the song titles...now the titles print out compacted, overlapping each other and illegible. I thought it was the printer but it happened w/1 other printer as well, which I used before for this exact thing w/no problem.

Try cleaning the print head with rubbing alcohol wipe, then replace your print head. Keep pushing the Ok.

Convert Bevel and Emboss Effect into Separate Layers

I was following a tutorial for making paint drips at http://www.planetphotoshop.com/dripping-color.html.
I am not sure which version of Photoshop was being used in the video. Maybe CS3 or 4? It looks like the video was created in 2008? Towards the end of tutorial (about the last 1/4), he converts the Bevel and Emboss effect into separate layers in order to delete the effect from the top and sides of the image. I can't seem to locate the "Create Layers" option when I control+mouse click on the layer. Is the "Create Layers" listed some place else or is there another way to remove the Bevel and Emboss effects from the top and sides only?

Bevel and Embossed text

Hey guys...just wondering if anyone has a nice way of re-creating a Photoshop Bevel and Emboss effect for the text in Motion 3. I get a similar effect using the INDENT filter, but it's just not the same. Any thoughts?

Hi,
welcome to the posts. NIce alias name, classy!
I had to look over the project again and it took me some time to sort it out. I made it in M2 and i think M3 does something funky.
The layer with the little t is the text layer. Should have called it something else like "indented text" to make it clearer I guess. In answer to your question the text layers blend mode is set to stencil luma which make it act like a stencil, and therefore shows the paper layer below. Then there is another paper layer below that to give the background. If you didnt do the stenciled paper layer it would look like some coloured text indented into the paper, which wasnt the original brief.
The spotlight is an M2 construct. Now of course we have lights in M3 so it becomes a bit easier.
Just a point to clarify. 'parenting' is really an AfterEffects idea, something that Motion doesnt do. instead you have to put things in groups, a bit like comping in AE, but more flexible.
