Basic Help Needed - Exporting

Hi everyone!
I am currently drawing a 1600X900 interface for a touchscreen system. I am using illustrator to make the buttons, but I have an issue. The touchscreen program will only upload buttons as an image (anything besides .png simply looks awful), so I need to export JUST certain images of certain buttons in illustrator. My question...
Is there a way to export a certain selection/object/layer in illustrator? I am currently running CS4. I know I can copy and paste each object onto a new print and export - but when the .png is uploaded it has a border (even if its translucent). Again, there are buttons so I need the full image and nothing else.
Also, for a more complicated question;
When I began the illustrator document, I chose 1600x900 pixels in hope that the buttons would appear smooth on the touchscreen program. Should I perhaps lower the pixels since the actual buttons may only take up a tiny fraction of the whole 1600x900 screen? I've never really imported my work into 3rd party programs - this is new to me.
Thanks so much!

Loading a plug-in, then exporting to layers...if there's a more simple solution, I'd certainly love to hear it.
Don't fear the plug-ins, they're here to help.
Once you load the plug-in, there will be a new menu item for you in Illustrator. At that point, simply clicking the "Export Layers to .png" option exports all visible layers to the .pngs you want, perfectly sized 1:1 with your art, perfectly cropped, named to the name of your layers and ready to go.

Basic help needed very much

Hi,
I have an Epson 3800 printer and Adobe Elements 7 (Epson advised me that I should buy some version of Photoshop to take full advantage of the printers capabilities).....Problem is need basic info on how to set all the buttons to make a decent print. There are many,many choices on various drop down tabs all through the process of making a print. Also, It seems that all my pictures are 72 ppi ...is this a default setting ? Or, did I do something wrong when I downloaded them from my camera ? PLEASE help ! If at all possible someone could guide me through the process step by step I would be very, very grateful. I need guidance from the download, through the myriad of buttons (ie: color management, size selections (why do I have to tell both Elements and the printer the size of my paper?!!$#@) what's up with 72ppi on all my pics, if i change to 300 ppi wont pics get worse ? )
I called Epson and asked them to walk me through a print but they wouldnt because they said I'm going through Elements first and that is not their responsibility! BUT THEY ADVISED ME TO GET ELEMENTS IN THE FIRST PLACE !!!
Please help...I am an artist (painter) ...my website is www.theeastcoastartist.com I will send a free 8 X 10 signed print of a painting to anyone that can help me get a decent print or just tell me which settings to make each step of the way.
Thanks,
Frank

Frank, here's a couple links to tutorials that may help. They use Photoshop but the print settings in Elements are similar enough.
http://www.wonderhowto.com/how-to/video/how-to-print-from-photoshop-to-the-epson-stylus-pr o-3800-260408/
http://people.csail.mit.edu/ericchan/dp/Epson3800/printworkflow.html
As far as the resolution, stated in pixels per inch (ppi), the images from your camera have a fixed number of pixels, so resolution is determined by the size of the print...the larger the print, the larger the pixels, the lower the resolution. 300 ppi is considered optimum for printing...higher won't hurt, lower than 250 ppi may start to be noticable.

CSS11506 - Some basic help needed

Alright, I have a CSS11506 in the lab and I am trying to configure it into a reverse proxy config. So I would like to have all inbound http requests hit the CSS and then have it redirect to our web server on correct DMZ. Having never setup a CSS before I need some help.
- Is my service type proxy-cache, type redirect or type transparent cache ?
I know this should be fairly easy to do with the 11506. Can you also provide some docs explaining the config walkthru.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
Dave

Thanks, that explains a few things.
So assuming the following, DMZ web server ip is 192.168.20.50 and VIP for CSS is 192.168.20.100, basically I would want to redirect all inbound http requests from 192.168.20.100 to the 192.168.20.50 using the following CSS config ?
service rprox1
ip address 192.168.20.50
protocol tcp
port 8080
active
owner clee
content redirect_rule
add service rprox1
vip address 192.168.20.100
protocol tcp
port 8080
url "/*"
Like I said, never configured one yet so this is my first attemtp.
Thanks again for the help
Cheers

Help needed exporting PDF! urgent!

Hello, I`ve been working on a catalog for the past 2 months, and now its done. But when I export it to PDF only one side(right) has pages numbered and head and foot info. What am I donig here? When the documet is still in indesign everything is normal and there. I has to be someking of master problem, but all the masters applied to pages look fine. Please help, as the thing is supposed to go into print today.

Do you have pages with different master pages throughout the document, for example does your pages panel look like this
|A
A|A
A|B
B|B
B|B
B|C
C|C
C|D
Where A master page is paired with B, starting a new section, B is paired with C (starting section) etc.
If you do, make sure that no object crosses the Spine even by .00001 mm, as this causes the Left Master items to disappear when A meets B and C meets D.
that make sense?

Basic Help needed with Hyperion 9.3 Scheduling jobs

Hi!
Is there anyone who would be willing to help a novice understand the Scheduling features in Hyperion 9.3? We are converting from Brio 6.6 where we used the "Broadcast Server". We don't yet have many jobs - so I'm not migrating them. But, the documentation with Hyperion is not helping me really understand how to set a job to actually do anything. I don't yet know how to add cycles and direct specific output to specific places. The jobs "run" and I've created events ...
If you would have some time to talk me through the process, I would be very grateful.

I agree about the documentation. It's not always easy to understand how to do something if your situation doesn't exactly match the examples. I had to use a lot of trial and error to finally get some jobs running.
The first misunderstanding I had was that if I want to schedule a document, I have to import my .bqy file as a job from the filesystem. You can't take an Interactive Reporting document from Workspace and use it as the basis of a job. So if you're using the web-based client and working on documents stored in Workspace you have to export the document to your filesystem and then import it as a job. You're probably beyond that point.
The second misunderstanding (and I wonder if this is your problem) is that you must set the job to allow users to create their own cycles for it. If you don't you're stuck with the default cycle set, and you cannot change it. This is where the documentation falls short -- it mentions the attribute, but doesn't go far enough to tell you what happens if you don't check it off -- that even you, as the owner-and-most-likely-also-administrator won't even be able to maninpulate the cycles. What's more, if you don't set this attribute on import, you can't set it later. There's no way to reach the dialog with Properties. I can't vouch for the Batch Scheduler, we don't license that (if it even applies). Maybe it's a bug, maybe I'm missing something, but this is the only way I can get the full functionality to work.
You will find this attribute on Step 3 of the import dialog "Interactive Reporting Job Properties". Check the box labeled "Users running this job can define their own cycles and actions". Once you finish and schedule the job, you can go to Manage Job Schedules and modify the schedule properties. Go to the Select Job Parameters tab, and create or use an existing parameter set (using the Go button).
This takes you to the Job Parameter dialog box, and that is where you set up your cycles and actions. You can set them up, save them as your own personal sets, or as public sets so your team can use them for other jobs. You should be able to make some headway here, the documentation becomes more useful again at this point.
Hope this helps

ITunes Basic Help Needed

Although I've had my iMac for a while I haven't used iTunes much.
Now I have a need for it and I can't get it to do what I want in several different areas.
I have a list of Audio files which I have created playlists for and then uploaded to my iPod through iTunes.
When you have a audio file in finder and then transfer it to iTunes, it changes its name and qualities etc...
So I went through the painful task of re-naming all my audio files in several of my playlists after they had been transferred to iTunes.
So now, I have all the audio files set up the way I want in iTunes under my iPod playlists.
The question is, how do I export this list, exactly with all its qualities and names etc.. to the Mac so that I can import them again for when I connect my other device (iPhone)?
When I select a playlist (under my iPod name) and then choose File >> Library, the Export Playlist feature is dimmed.
What can I do?
Thanks,
JH

Do you sync the iPhone and the iPod to the same iTunes library? If so, can't you just sync the same playlist to your iPhone (sorry I don't have an iPhone, so I could be misunderstanding something about how iPhones work compared to plain iPods)?

SSH basics - help needed

I'm new to networking, so bear with me. Here is what I am trying to do:
I would like to get to websites that are blocked by a corporate firewall (websense). (I take full responsibility for what I am doing and am not putting myself at risk - don't worry).
It seems like I could use SSH to connect to my home internet connection thus bypassing the firewall.
Is that true? If so, what do I need to do?
Here's my equipment - 2 Macbook Pros, one fuctioning as a desktop at home, one portable. Airport Extreme N router (not gigabit). Comcast home cable internet.
I just downloaded a program salled SSHTunnel that sounds like it should help, but I don't know where to start.

The easy route.
Use TeamViewer <http://teamviewer.com>. Leave TeamViewer running on your home Mac. It will display a "Wait for session ID". Copy that session ID number, and take it with you to work.
On your work system, run another copy of TeamViewer (there are both PC and Mac versions).
Configure the work TeamViewer with your corporate Proxy settings
TeamViewer -> Preferences -> General -> Proxy Settings...
Now on your work TeamViewer enter the Wait for session ID you got from your home system, and enter that in your work system's Create session ID field. Then click Connect to Partner button.
This is the easiest way I know about.
The HARD WAY: You can do this via ssh, but there are a lot more detailed steps.
1st question. Does your company allow "Out-Bound" ssh connections? If it does, that helps a lot. If they DO NOT, then you would need to mess with an OpenSource program called "Corkscrew" that will get ssh through a proxy server.
Once you get through the firewall, then you will need to get a dynamic DNS name for your home system. No-IP.com and DynDNS.org offer free dynamic DNS names. You use this so you do not need to worry about your ISP changing your home IP address.
Now you need to configure your home router so it Forwards Port 22 from the internet side to your destination Mac.
On your destination Mac, you need to enable System Preferences -> Sharing -> Remote Login, and while you are at it, you should enable screen sharing preference.
Now on your work system, you ssh to your home system. The form of the command depends on whether you need to use corkscrew or not.
Without corkscrew:
ssh -L 5901:localhost:5900 [email protected]
With corkescrew:
ssh -L 5900:localhost:5900
-o 'ProxyCommand /path/to/corkscrew proxy.server.address 8080 %h %p'
[email protected]
Now you have an ssh tunnel which you can run screen sharing across. Using a VNC client. On a Mac you can use:
Finder -> Go -> Connect to server
vnc://localhost:5900
If using a 3rd party VNC client, you still specify localhost and port 5900 as these what the ssh tunnel established as the path to the remote Mac's VNC server.
Now you should be able to use your home Mac and its browser to surf anywhere you like.
If you wish to increase your complication, you could use ssh to create a SOCKS proxy. You would add the following to your ssh command:
-D 12345
Then you configure your bowser to use the SOCKS proxy server via port 12345

RV120W VPN Setup - basic help needed

Hi all,
I've recently bought a RV 120W Wireless-N VPN Firewall hoping it would ease me in creating VPN and remote connectivity. But I seems to be struggling with this.
Here is my situation.
When I bought my Cisco router I didn't know it had an ethernet port for WAN. I thought it would have a RJ11 compliant port. So now I am having to put the router behind my modem.
I gave my modem's LAN 192.168.2.1 and to RV120W I gave 192.168.2.2.
All PC's are not connected to internet via RV120W. For RV120W, the local IP network is 192.168.1.0. I've set 192.168.1.1 as the management IP of the Cisco RV120W. All the PC's can get internet from the above layout arrangement.
With frustration, I've portforwared all my ports on the modem (except 1 port) to RV120W i.e to IP 192.168.2.2.
If I enable PPTP on RV120W I can ping its port (1723 i remember) from outside. If I connect to port 80 from outside my network, I can get the managemnt interface of the RV120W.
With the help of the RV120W's userguide I managed to create VPN policy stuff via the 'basic VPN Setup' menu. The guides says to use a wizard but there is no wizard for VPN setup.
With that I have even created users (of every type) but I just can't make the connection.
When I use the QuickVPN to connect... its goes from "Connecting", "Activating Policy" again "Connecting" and then a big error saying a couple of things that might have caused the error.
I want to start from the beginning.
Can somebody please help me.
First... what I am I supposed to put in the fields of the following screenshot. Especially the fields "Remote WAN's IP Address", "Local WAN's IP Address" and "Local LAN IP Address".

Once I knew about the bridge mode thing from this discussion, I started reading the manual of the modem in regard to the brigde mode setup.
According to the manual, the 'Data' bulb on the modem would be off if the modem is in bridge mode. and I've successfully put the modem on bridge mode I guess. It was pretty easy. I just deleted all the WAN setup rules/configs and began with the initial setup wizard which basically had the option to set the modem to bridge mode. After so, the 'Data' bulb got off meaning the modem is now in bridge mode. I am happy about that
But... still not done.
I put one ethernet cable into of the LAN ports of the modem and put the other end in RV120W WAN port. Logged into to RV120W, configured new PPPoE profile (I have the user and pass details) and attached it to the WAN internet setup config.
I went back to the dashboard of RV120W to see if WAN was up. It didn't. I gave some time. It didn't work. It says 'connecting' but never connects.
What am I doing wrong? Am I putting the cable between the modem and router the right way?
...and also, when the modem is in bridge mode will it forward all packets from lan to wan and vice versa or is it like forwarding packets to all ports once recieved.
(I am learning so much with this RV120W )

Basic help needed creating a trigger

I'm completely new to SQL programming altogether, and I'm trying to set up a trigger that will make some checks before adding a new row to a given table. I am trying to do this because I need to enforce a CONSTRAINT that checks whether the dates entered for 'deadline' and 'startDate' are greater than sysdate and less than (sysdate + 365), and I found out that you cannot reference sysdate from a CONSTRAINT. Therefore I am now attempting to do this using a trigger, but I don't really know how to do this. Here is the sql code used to create the table:
-- PLACEMENT TABLE
DROP TABLE placement;
CREATE TABLE placement
contactId Int,
placementId Int,
position VARCHAR(60),
description CLOB,
lengMonths Int,
salary Number(7,2),
deadline DATE,
startDate DATE,
addrLine1 VARCHAR(120),
postCd VARCHAR(10)
And here is my attempt at creating the trigger that will only allow the deadline and startDate to be entered if they satisfy the following check: (sysdate < deadline/startDate <= sysdate+365)
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER trg_deadline_low BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE OF deadline ON placement
BEGIN
IF :deadline <= SYSDATE THEN
ROLLBACK;
END IF;
END;
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER trg_deadline_high BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE OF deadline ON placement
BEGIN
IF :deadline > SYSDATE + 365 THEN
ROLLBACK;
END IF;
END;
If possible, I would like for these triggers to display an error rather than just using ROLLBACK, but I'm not sure how! At the moment, these triggers do not work at all; I get an error message "Warning: Trigger created with compilation errors." when I attempt to create the triggers in the first place.
Can anyone tell me why I am seeing this error when trying to implement the triggers? And if anyone could also improve on my amateur attempt at coding a trigger, then that would be great! Thanks for any help!

Oops!
Nicolas, Thank you for correcting my mistake.

Help needed exporting large image sizes

Hi All,
I'm a newbie so forgive my lack of understanding here when it comes to exporting to large file sizes. In short I'm trying to export some images for large format printing but am having trouble preparing the right size in LR4.
Specifically I'm trying to produce w 30" x h 20" images. I understand that to do this I'll need a image that is 9000 x 6000 pixels set at 300 ppi. My problem is that when I export this, with the dimensions set to width and height in pixels and resize unchecked LR4 produces an image that is 9000 x 4887?
Would appreciate any thoughts on what i'm doing wrong here? Is it simply that the aspect ratio of image is wrong to produce this size image? My concern is not producing an exact file size for printing.
Thanks!
Tom

I've sorted the crop ration for a 3:2 image but resulting in a much smaller image.
Could you give me the details? How much smaller? What size is it? What else did you change other than the aspect ratio?
I then then tried a 16:9 ratio which is much better
Details please? What is better? (And why try this if you need 3:2??)
seem to have run into a similar prob in that calculations say for a 40 x 20 I'll need 6,000 x 12,000 but lr4 will only ouutput 6,000 by 10,667.
You are repeating your initial mistake. Images cropped to 16:9 aspect ratio cannot export to a 3:2 aspect ratio. Only images cropped to a 3:2 aspect ratio will export to a 3:2 aspect ratio.

Switching to Libsyn - basic help needed re: previous episodes

Hello all,
Bit of a novice with RSS etc, just need a bit of help.
After hosting my podcast on my own personal wordpress webspace, where each episode has a 20mb limit, I have signed up to Libsyn to have more space to make episodes longer.
However, I have thirteen previous episodes and am a bit worried that they will be deleted or duplicated when I re-direct my RSS to the new feed.
If I keep them hosted where they are (on wordpress), will they remain untouched and available even after I have switched to libsyn? I don't have to upload all thirteen episodes to libsyn do I, as surely that will mean they re-download?
I want to cause minimum fuss to people, and essentially for the next podcast to download on iTunes from the new RSS feed, while all previous ones remain as normal.
Any way to do this?
Thanks,
Mark

What happens to the display in the Store depends entirely on what is in the current feed. If when you have redirected to the Libsyn feed these episodes are not included in it then they will disappear from the Store. People who have already subscribed will of course retain them, but new subscribers won't see them either.
However if you include them in the Libsyn feed then they will appear in the Store and to new subscribers. I don't know whether Libsyn will let you include them at their original URLs for the media files: from what you say I gather it hosts the episode media files, so it's possible it may not allow you to reference files on another server. The will of course appear in the feed whether they are hosted on Libsyn or elsewhere.
However I thinks it's probable that existing subscribers will see them as new episodes, particularly if they now have Libsyn addresses, and will therefore find themselves downloading them again - I don't think there's anything much you can do about that.

Web Form Editor - basic help needed!

I must be the world's dumbest designer. I am trying to create a contact form in Business Catalyst to be placed in Muse. Now, I use Muse because I know very little about coding, so that is probably why I am struggling so bad creating this form. Typically, I use the form building widget in Muse to create my forms, but my client would like to include a dropdown list and an "add file" function to the form. I have watched a couple videos on youtube on how to set up a form, but I am getting hung up on the formatting. The form technically has everything I need, but it is horribly ugly! I have tried using the "Customize Web Form" option within BC (as well as the Style Builder), but nothing I do makes any difference.
See for yourself:
THis is what the form looks like in Muse. I manually added the blue box in Muse. There are so many things wrong I don't know where to start! The form fields are too small, I can't change the font or color and I want to get rid of the Title. I have tried playing with the code, but nothing works. Is there a tutorial somewhere teaching us how to edit a form using the built in web form editor?
Thank you so much for your help!

You need to assign a class to each input element and then target those classes with CSS.
Example:
<input type="text" name="FirstName" id="FirstName" class="cat_textbox" maxlength="255">
CSS:
.cat_textbox {
width: 300px;
height: 25px;
border-radius: 3px;
box-shadow: inset 1px 1px 2px 0 #DADADA;
-webkit-box-shadow: inset 1px 1px 2px 0 #DADADA;
border-color: #B6B6B6;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 1px;
I can help you out more in a few hours. I highly recommend learning as much CSS & HTML as you can.

Help needed exporting from Lightroom 4 to Photoshop CS6

I'm running LR 4.4 and Photoshop CS6 on an iMAC and I'm having issues with the edit in photoshop option. Used to be able to right click and image, go to Edit In and choose Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop would open and the image would open. I could then make my changes and save them and those changes would copy back over to Lightroom. Now when I choose Edit In>Photoshop, Photoshop opens but the image never opens. It would prompt saying Open Anyway or Render using Lightroom. If I clicked Open Anyway, the image would NOT open in Photoshop. If I clicked Render using Lightroom, the image WOULD open in Photoshop. Well now I've upgraded my software and it's no longer prompting me to Render using Lightroom. Can someone help either fix the root probelm or tell me how to get my raw files to Render using Lightroom?

Same problem here on the PC side.

Really basic help needed bouncing tracks to mp3

Hi
We have been working on some new music in MIDI format and really would like to have them available to play on our ipod. I have read the manual on bouncing to mp3 format. However I have 2 problems.
1) Some tracks don't even allow my to bounce to mp3. When I try to select file>Bounce, I cannot select it as it is not available and is the light grey colour of unavailable items.
2) The tracks that I have been able to bounce have no sound when I play them back in itunes or quicktime player.
What do I do to fix these two problems. Thank you for your help.

Hi and welcome to Logic Express,
First of all: Bouncing is usually done by bouncing from the Master Output Channel. You should see a small Bounce Button (Bnce) below the Fader (look to the left in the Inspector window - there are 2 Channel Strips. The Left is for the selected Track and the right one usually is the master Output (Out 1-2). Or you can select Bounce from the File Menu. Only Output Tracks can be bounced! You can't bounce individual tracks, but have to route them to an output. Usually, this routing is on by default, so if you didn't change it, it shouldn't worry you.
See if none of your tracks are muted and if you can actually play back the entire project and hear the desired result in Logic. If so, hit the bounce button below the master output (1-2) fader.
The second step is to select the right method of bouncing. There should be a popup menu now asking you about filename and so. Enter the desired filename and maybe another folder. If not, Logic names it Output 1-2.mp3, which isn't that bright. To the lower left, u should see some available file formats. Check mp3 (this is important!) first. Also select offline bounce, if not checked. Check if "normalise" is activated. If not, activate it.
Now, the options change to allow some mp3 specific tweaks. Use the ones you like. I use about 160kbits for stereo, normal stereo mode, and tweak all the ID3 Tags as desired. Also check "add to itunes library".
Now, before you bounce, check if the start and stop marks of the bounce are actually the same that you want them to be. Sometimes they snap to the last marked region, which isn't neccesarily the correct song length. I messed up some bounces before i got this right.
If everything looks good, hit bounce. Logic should bounce, normalize and convert to mp3 now. Wait some seconds for iTunes to get the song imported. There you are. If not, ask again
