Beginner question: Why wont grid align with guides?

Hi,
I'm pretty new to illustrator and want to create a small background for an html email template I'm making.
I've set the artboard to 800 X 666 (odd, I know, but that's how it's ended up), set the rulers to pixels and placed vertical guides at 70 and 730 px, giving me a centered area of 660px width.
I then turned on a pixel grid with gridlines every 10px with 10 subdivisions.
My problem is that the grid doesn't match the guides. the (0,0) origin of my artboard starts halfway between 2 pixel grid lines and my guide lines start slightly off.
Where have I gone wrong?
Thanks,
Andy

Sure thing
The 3 pixels got me thinking. With the height being 666px, maybe it's using the center of the artboard as a starting reference for the grid, rather than the top left corner as I'd expect. Just a theory, but I can't find a setting which relates to it. Maybe I can set the anchor point of the artboard to the top left in some way?

I purchased icloud on my lap top why wont it share with my ipad?

What did you purchase? You need 10.8.2 running on your laptop and iOS 6 on the iPad or later in order to be able to sync between your devices. What system are you running on your laptop and is your profile correct as far as the iPad 2 is concerned?

Do one of the following:
> Restart your computer
> Restore your iPod
> Uninstall & reinstall iTunes
> Check on my computer (windows XP) OR computer (windows vista & 7) and see if your iPod shows on there (Windows Only)

Why wont photos, created with facial recognition rotate in windows?

Hi all,
I just got back from a lovely vacation on which the SLR stayed in the suitcase and the 4s took the snapshots.
Somehow I take all the pictures upside down, must be me.
No problem, because I'll just rotate them.
However, all photo's that contain faces, that were recognized as such while taking the picture (Green rectangle thingy) do not allow saving after rotation in windows.
All pictures without faces are fine. Even pictures taken within the same minute do allow rotation without faces, but not with.
Strange.
Anybody got a clue what to do, besides 'don't take pictures upside down'.

This is what I've found elsewhere...I tried the stripper (website below) and it worked great.
"It appears that the Meta data attached to the picture by iPhone is corrupt and that is why the picture can't be rotated, etc.
It is suggested that the meta data be remove from the picture an then it can be manipulated.
Windows Photo Viewer can't save changes to this picture because there's a problem with the picture's file properties.
I've found a program that will strip the corrupt metadata from the images here:

And this fixes the problem. Now we have to wait for Apple to issue a proper fix."

Ipod video...why wont it work with it?

I find it strange that the nike+ software only works with nanos, ipod video came out after the first nano...when that nano work with the soft ware why doenst the video?! and are we sure, has someone tried the nike + software with the iPod video?!

This was likely done because the hard drive on an iPod video is much more vulnerable to being dropped and other hard impacts compared to an iPod nano's flash media.

Why Wont GPS Work with the Nokie 5530 + Nokia LD-4...

Ok, ive played around with all the settings, etc. The only lights being displayed on the ld-4w gps module are the green light and the blue light. the gps light is not turning on. it is all paired with the nokie 5530 phone.
Ovi maps is installed, all the firmwire is updated.
When i start the application 'Location' (the one thats included with the phone), it says searching for GPS devices. Then it says 'Waiting for gps', then (nearly instantly) it shows 'GPS Not Availible' and exits. After that it displays 'No Connection'.
I have tried by going into my back garden and doing this but it still does not work.
However, when I use ovi maps and type in a route, it displays 'Waiting for GPS' for a long time, then it does not connect either, but then it also asks for an internet connection, which i dont have as i dont have any credit on my phone, and i also dont have wireless internet.
If this is the problem, then why doesent the gps light on my ld-4w even blink?
Please help, i need this GPS module up and running before my sisters birthday party lol (17th april)....so please help..its urgent!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Woohoo!! I finally got this working...what I did was I held the power button down for about 10 seconds until the lights alternated between green and red, and then i turned it back on again. Then while holding the power button down, i plugged it in the charger.
Then i turned it back on again, and paired it with the 5530xm again, and it showed waiting for gps for about 5 mins, then it displayed some co-ordinates! Then i started ovi maps then it showed my location!
Yeeeaaaahh!! it finally works!! Looks like it wasent nokias fault after all!!

WHY WONT VIDEORECORDE WORK WITH IMAC ?

I have a Panasonic video recorder GS35, I cant seem to get it to work with my mac or mac programs... is it not compatiable at all? it will work with parallels on the pc side, but I would like to use my imovie program. This is my first year with a mac, and I truly love it, but do I have to buy a new camcorder ? Or better yet... what I am doing wrong? :o)

I connect with a usb, but mac doesnt recognize the recorder at all. now the software that came with the recorder says it is only pc compatible, so i cant download the software or drivers... is that why? i am using the usb behind the screen of imac, not the keyboard. I am using the imovie program as well.

Why wont facetime work with chat sites, why wont facetime work with chat sites

plesse help

HI,
FaceTime is a Video Procotol used by Apple in the iOS software and the Mac OS X software.
It is not compatible with the iChat video (also used in Messages) or the Jabber protocol for Video called Jingle.
Facebook Video chat in a web browser and this then uses Flash and FaceTime is not compatible with that either.
Basically everyone has their own way of doing video chat.
MSN/Live is not compatible with anything else.
GoogleTalk is a Jabber server using the Jingle Protocol which is then in a Standalone PC app called gfoogle Talk and in the Web Browser plug-in but is not that compatible with other Jabber servers that have later versions.
Yahoo have their own Protocol.
AIM used to match the one used in iChat but even AIM have changed the way they do Video.
Flash can be installed on a Mac and then several Video Chat sites can be accessed.
AS I said Facebook rely on Flash to do Video.

Why wont google toolbar work with fire fox 5????? also how can i get firefox 4 back so i can use the toolbar???

Hello,my question is why wont google toolbar work with firefox 5?????
Also how can i get firefox 4 back so i can use the toolbar???

This page is an easier way to download Firefox 4.0: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/products/download.html?product=firefox-4.0&os=win&lang=en-US , as this links starts the download process asap.
I needed to upgrade to Firefox 4.0+ for an add-on that I really needed. However, I can't use Firefox 5.0, as I randomly checked 3 add-on's I had: "Firefox PDF", "Delicious Bookmarks" and "After the Deadline", and none of them worked with Firefox 5.0. In fact, I will have to download alpha versions, etc., to get these add-ons to work with Firefox 4.0.

Designer beginner's question: How to populate form with XML web service output?

sorry, here is yet another Adobe Designer beginners question: My form uses a webservice data connection which returns an xml-string like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?> <CurrentWeather> <Location>Sion, Switzerland (LSGS) 46-13N 007-20E 481M</Location> <Time>Apr 26, 2007 - 09:50 AM EDT / 2007.04.26 1350 UTC</Time> <Wind> from the WSW (240 degrees) at 15 MPH (13 KT):0</Wind> <Visibility> greater than 7 mile(s):0</Visibility> <SkyConditions> partly cloudy</SkyConditions> <Temperature> 80 F (27 C)</Temperature> <DewPoint> 46 F (8 C) </DewPoint> <RelativeHumidity> 30%</RelativeHumidity> <Pressure> 29.88 in. Hg (1012 hPa)</Pressure> <Status>Success</Status> </CurrentWeather> What is the simplest and recommended way to extract the element fields to my form? Thank you very much an kind regards, Hans Grund

The question is still unanswered!
Let me give some details and break up the problem
in more specific questions:
- In Designer 8.1 I click new data binding --> wsdl -->
http://www.webservicex.net/globalweather.asmx?wsdl
A message box comes up and says "cannot load wsdl file"
==> 1. Question:
Why maybe refuses Designer to load the http-wsdl,
although this option is explicitly allowed?
- When I save the wsdl to a file, Designer loads it
without any problems. The web service uses two input parameters
(CountryName and CityName) and returns an xml-string GetWeatherResult)
like the one in my first posting. I drag these fields from the binding view to my form, and it runs ok!
- THE PROBLEM IS, THAT I NEET TO EXTRACT THE ELEMENT FIELDS
FROM THE RESULT XML-STRING!
==> 2. Question:
How to extract xml element fields from wsdl output into a form?
- I tried with eclipse and XmlSpy to build a modified wsdl file
with structured output definition, so that the specific element fields
show up in the data binding view and are usable to my form,
and the modified wsdl maps consistently to the web service result string.
So far without success: In the PDF -preview or Reader-
when the wsdl-binding is executed and the web service output
should show up in the result fields, just nothing happens.
==> 3. Question:
Can this strategy to provide a "modified wsdl" possibly succeed,
and how?
==> 4. Question:
Is is possible -and how?- to check whether an xml string
is valid as web service output against the wsdl-definition?
==> 5. Question:
How to debug a web service connection with Designer?
- Finally I tried to find a way to load the result xml-string
into a local var in the script editor and parse it, much like:
var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
xmlDoc.load(DataSet.MyForm.GetWeatherResult.rawValue);
==> 6. Question:
Is it possible -and how?- to use a framework like dotnet?
How to utilize SAX or DOM in Designer?
Many thanks and appreciations for your help!!

Subcircuit pins do not align with grid and will not connect

I have two identical subcircuit symbols. One is just fine, but the other has pins that do not align with the MS grid, and one that will not even connect. MS12.0.0.
This one is fine:
This one pins are off grid. The circled one will not connect.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
I have been experimenting a bit with this. One thing you can try is open the Symbol Editor, select the pin which is not connecting and then from the spreadsheet view, change the Shape to Zero-length Pin. Then try to see if you can connect the pin in the design. It will not appear as a line but you should still be able to connect to it.
If this does not work, you can open a service request and we can try to see how to resolve the issue.
Hope this helps.
