Along the lines of image resizing
was having similar issues with "grouped" graphics (lines, rectangle, circles) created in Keynote. I tried to resize the collection and it went " winkey" (techo-speak for 'didn't respond as expected'). I tried toggling the constrained proportions options to no effect, I also noticed, when I went to key in a size, instead of filling the height/ width box, the keyed enter would end up on the screen like a text box. ? ? ?
The old ms Windows trick of exiting the application a restating seemed to "fix" the key enter problem for a little while.
Any ideas comments, remedies?

Simmilar to whom, MM Holden?
This thread will give you some background: Resizing
Other than that use guides and smaller groups to help with alignments. Until you provide specifics hard to help more than that.

Hi,
I am need of help! I have had this issue for a while now and it's becoming frustrating.
My iTunes installed on my HP Windows 8 Netbook is unable to recognize my iPod, the error message along the lines of "iTunes has detected an iPod but unable to recognise"
I have followed all the trouble shooting tips and am still stuck? I am now being told by a friend I need a link sent to me to fix this??
Someone please help me fix this problem.
Many thanks.
Matt.Hi
So just close iTunes and re-open iTunes thats it and that worked for you?
When you say reset your settings do you mean to factory settings? As my iPod was swapped at the store for a new one and the problem is still there...
Thanks. -
I bought my I pod touch 3-4 months ago and I got this message all of a sudden, it said something along the lines of provisonal complete_Distrib... will expire in 30 days. What is this it's under setting-general-Profile should I be worried? Should I just let it expire.
Unless you have a company or school iPod, that profile was installed by an app you installed. It is likely that the app will no longer function when that date is reached. You can Google the name of the profile and that may provide some more information.

I think my computer has a virus, when I get on the Internet, ads will pop up all the time, I think it is called adware? Also pages will pop up saying something along the lines of my computer is at risk for some security issue. What should I do?

Helpful Links Regarding Malware Problems
If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide and AdwareMedic. If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using ClamXAV. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for this recommendation.)
Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.
The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I have made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.
Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
Quit Safari
Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
Relaunch Safari
If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one. -
I've only had OSX 10.8.2 this last month, but I've found that whenever I want to open a document, I have to click 'Open' in 'Perform tasks with the selected item' function (The gearwheel with dropdown arrow). When I had Tiger, all I had to do was click on the document and it would open. Am I missing something
that would make my experience with Mountain Lion simpler?Hi sig, I was only referring to flow because that is just an alternative use to clicking on the line that the document shows on in either line view, but since asking the question, I have discovered that what I was missing was to double click on the line and the document opened.

...along the lines of Quiz Results...Captivate3
Greetings all,
Now I have another problem that I think you advanced users can solve; it has to do with reviewing quiz results. The blurred screen shot is above.
As you can see this is the bottom of a question the student answered. The problem is the rectangle box; it cannot be resized! I've done as one person suggested on another discussion which seemed like a simple fix; to simply enlarge the review area on the storyboard. I had all ready thought of that but it still did not work.
I have expanded the 'review area' on the storyboard slide but this does not have an effect on the published version. This is for a fill in the blank question and there are three blanks on the screen. One might think this would be the problem but it happens even with multiple quess questions; I cannot find the reporting box for this. I think it might be because the Quiz Preferences has a default set and cannot be edited for longer answers.
Thanks so much,

But the thing i dont understand is that it does this for basically EVERY page i visit. even facebook. and when i click "continue" it alows me to go to the page but limits what i can do and only shows certain things. i'm very frusterated with it.

Hi
Can anyone help? I am trying to connect my sons iPod to burn some music to it but I keep getting a message pop up stating that this version of iTunes is not compatible with this iPod and I need to remove my version of iTunes and install the 64-bit version. I have done this twice now, both times using the 64-bit download from Apple's download page, but the same message appears and the iPod is not recognized.
If anyone knows where I am going wrong I would be grateful for your advice.
Ta.Hi Tintin01,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you're being repeatedly prompted to install the 64-bit version of iTunes, I'd suggest first completely uninstalling iTunes and all its related components using the steps found here:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
Once you've uninstalled iTunes and its components, install the latest version of iTunes found here:
iTunes 11.0.4 for Windows 64

Along the lines of How to burn DVD's
I was trying to burn a simple data CD. Dragged the files to the CD in Finder saw the alias, hit burn. After a moment (spinning pinwheel) I get an error message saying:
Burning the disc failed because one or more items in "Desktop.fpbf" could not be read.
Could not read '/Library/Caches/com.apple.IntlDataCache.Ie.4294967294
Is this an error with the disk (they are old Maxell CD-Rs), error with the files being cooked, they are med. res jpegs or as I fear a missing/corrupt file in the OS?
Any help is appreciated.MH Holden wrote:

I presume you created a burn folder.

Why not really simplify it? Insert a blank, after it mounts double click it to open it and drag a file into the window. It will be an alias of the actual file which is correct and normal.
Select File->Burn Disc and see what happens.

Along the lines of How To Lead Large Files
I have some mainframe extract files loaded onto a Solaris drive that are between 1 and 4 GB to be used in an initial load of a data warehouse. I can't even open a file with file sizes that large. (We're running JDK 1.2.2 - not sure if that matters.) I'm using this statement -
bufReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(fileName)));
This is the error I get on that statement -
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /wrhs_data/export.13.aug02 (Value too larg)
at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method)
at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:68)
at com.cofinity.importer.MyFileReader.open(MyFileReader.java:40)
at com.cofinity.importer.MyFileReader.main(Compiled Code)
The statement works fine on files less than 220 MB. It breaks somewhere between 220 and 804 MB.
From the error message it seems that the underlying Native call can't handle opening such a large file. I've searched for the "value to larg" sub-message and found nothing. I tried eliminating the BufferedReader and just using the InputStreamReader, but I received the same error.
Does anyone know how Java can read large files in the 1 to 4 GB range? (I suppose I could use something like Informatica to split the files up, but our disk space is at a premium.) Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
SteveWell it appears to fail in open(). I tried your code on a binary file of size 25739135241 bytes (23.9+ gibibytes) on AIX and it did just fine, so it may be something in the runtime, try upgrading to a newer JDK/SDK, failing that, use the OS to stream in your data:
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(System.in)
);And just pipe/redirect your file to your Java processes' standard in. -
Lines over images and around text in Captivate SWF file
My project works & views fine in captivate and when published, it views fine on my mac - through flash player and browsers. But when I send a swf file to the client to view they see odd lines above and below images.
But they dont see the lines when they view the htm file within a browser - then it views fine.
The lines only appear when there's text over an image.
Screen shots attached.
My captivate project was created by importing a Powerpoint document, with images and text on each slide.
I've changed the optimisation / slide quality through prefrences and on each slide to the highest quality.
I've also un-selected the advanced slide compression.
Is there another thing I can try to iron out these lines?
Some of the images within Powerpoint are stretched, would this cause the lines?
Is it a flash player issue?
Or a zooming issue?
Any help is much appreciated!Thanks Lilybiri,
I am a new user & just finding my way
I understand how to publish and how Captivate creates a zipped file with a SWF, HTML, JS and CSS files etc. (Im using Captivate 7).
How do you send Captivate projects to clients for review / approval before you supply them with the whole project zipped file?
So far I've been sending them the swf file to check. And have had troubles with them viewing the lines over images and around text. Even though I cant see the lines.
I need the client to see what I'm seeing - a project without any lines. -
Image resize in CS5 vs cell size in LR3 for large print quality
What is the benefit of image resizing(larger) with resampling in photoshop than creating a larger cell size and increasing the DPI in LR3 if the file is to be printed just out of LR3. Is there a significant improvement in image quality if this is done in CS5, if so then what about the need for fractal program. I am taking my images with a D3x and making prints up to 20x30 on Epson 7900?
Interoperation from LR is far superior to the basic in PS CS 4, whilst this may have improved in CS 5 I haven't tried it and wouldn't expect it to be any better than LR 3. The print module in LR can also make it all a lot easier to do than using PS. Some may still prefer Genuine Fractals (I have a copy), however I have felt no need for it since LR 2. Any resizing I require is done using LR
