Black to purple gradient - white getting in the way - HELP!

Hi, I'm using illustrator cs3 and ive selected a black to purple linear gradient and the black is graduating to white and then graduating to purple, whereas I want it to go from black straight to purple. What can I do? Thanks, Adam

You are blending from CMYK purple to process black. Say your purple is 80,100,0,0. This means that halfway through the blend your colour will be 40,50,0,50. As you get closer to black you will get less colour as you go.
Instead, use a process black that’s a copy of your purple, plus 100% black.

    I get the same thing... no matter what site i try to pull a pdf for IE10, it gives me the black x... if i use chrome it works, but my client does not want to use a different browser.
    I followed the guide that Pat posted... nothing worked... I have uninstalled and reinstalled Java, Adobe reader, Adobe flash,.. upgraded to IE11, then back to IE10 due to medical software that is not compatable with IE11...
    The kicker is that my Admin profile works just fine.. no issues.. so i know it has something to do with his profile....

    Do what I did, click it & find out. For me it seems to be a way to move or navigate in the table.

  • TS3694 Why can't I update my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1? Every time I try it gets all the way done downloading it; however when it's processing the file the page tells me "There is a problem downloading the software for the iPhone. Network connection timed out.

    Why can't I update my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1? Every time I try it gets all the way done downloading it; however when it's processing the file the page tells me "There is a problem downloading the software for the iPhone. Network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active. or try again later." and next to the file it has err = -3259. I have tried this 17 times and it won't work. My iTunes is completely up to date. I have made sure that my connection is fine and I have tried turning my firewall off with no avail. This has happened to me before but usually the update will go through after 2-3 tries, never to this extent. I don't know what to do. Help!

    Error -3259 is a network timeout error, usually. This article might help:

  • I am attempting to re sync my iPad2 with my macbook pro iTunes and i get all the way to where it tells me to connect to iTunes...which my iTunes on my macbook sees as connected, yet my iPad still tells me to connect to iTunes...

    I am attempting to re sync my iPad2 with my macbook pro iTunes and i get all the way to where it tells me to connect to iTunes...which my iTunes on my macbook sees as connected, yet my iPad still tells me to connect to iTunes...AND yet it is connected..HELP

    Your iPad is going to show "Connect to iTunes" screen until you either set it up successfully or restore it. If you've already set your iPad up in the past, "Connect to iTunes" typically indicates the iPad is in Recovery Mode and you must restore it.

  • Hotspot  wifi - other wifi getting in the way

    I have this annoying problem. All sorts of wifi signals get in the way of my iPhone, which tries to connect to them instead of staying on 3G.  I clearly see the message "wifi not available while your phone is a hotspot", but my iPhone seems to be trying to connect to them anyway.  This slows it down a lot.
    (when away from home and not using it as a a hot spot, I just turn wifi off)
    Thank you

    Your phone is malfunctioning if it's trying to join WiFi networks when Personal Hotspot is enabled (defeating the Hotspot function).  Do the basic troubleshooting steps as described in the User Guide, Appendix B (and elsewhere)
    Restart phone
    Reset phone
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    Restore in iTunes using a backup
    Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup.
    There are a couple of things that are unclear from your first post, confusing the issue:
    "when away from home and not using it as a a hot spot, I just turn wifi off"
    Why do that if you have access to free WiFi?
    Also, if you have access to external WiFi, why use your phone (and data plan) as a personal hotspot when you can connect whatever other device you're using directly to that WiFi source?

  • Why doesthe start menu stays on and gets in the way of controls when viewing a video full screen?

    Since I updated my firefox when ever I try to watch a youtube or other video full screen my start menu stays up at the bottom of the page and gets in the way preventing me from adjusting the volume or finding a specific spot in the video without first downsizing the video using the ESC key. Why is this? It does not happen when I use Internet Explorer.

    You can check the settings of the Windows Taskbar via the right-click context menu and make sure that it isn't set to always show on top.

    You won't be able to change your rescue email address until you can answer 2 of your questions, you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

  • How do I get rid of the hover description on the taskbar? Like when you hover over Firefox and it shows the title of the website you're on. It gets in the way of gaming.

    I'm a gamer and I play in windowed mode, and every now and then this gets in my way of playing. It's super annoying and I have to either close out Firefox or move my taskbar to the top, which isn't optimal.
    I'd like to be able to play in windowed mode, with a browser open if I so need, without accidently hovering over it and causing this stupid tooltip to block the spells I need to use.
    http://i55.tinypic.com/10e25xe.jpg
    That's what I'm talking about.
    I use Windows 7.
    I've disabled the thumbnail previews.
    All other taskbar icons have the registry edit that extends hover time so that I have to hover for a long time for it to display, so it's fine.
    I've tried the Firefox about:config where I disable the browser.chrome thingy and those things related to that.
    Is there any way to get rid of this display that when you hover over the web browser it tells you the name of the page you're on?

    Wade and Monica,
    Thanks for your help.
    Wade, it hit me when you asked "why is it a png" file and I realized that I was using the wrong file.  Sometimes its hard to see the forest for the trees!  Problem for banner artwork fixed and I have now used the correct logo file so no more dotted line.
    The dotted line only appears on the the png version of the logo.  There's no coloured background on the logo file.  She gave me the file as both an eps and a png file. I'm pretty sure she created the logo in Illustrator.  I've been using the png file for the website, which is what I thought it worked well for.  And the eps one for my print materials.
    I have no clue why I grabbed the png instead of the eps logo file I usually use, but thanks for pointing out the obvious since I wasted time trying to fix it and was getting very frustrated at what had suddenly gone "wrong".
    I still have that dotted line on the png file of the logo but I'll have to figure that out another day.
    Thanks again!
    Hasmi
