Born on the wrong planet? & Lines

Well, I've searched for over 3 hours and feel like a complete fool . I really am begining to think I was born on another planet.
Trying to learn how to use CS3 Illustrator but apparently unable to put brain into "Adobe think" and use "Adobe speak" when searching for help. As background, I've been using Photoshop 7 & some portions of Illustrator 9 for about 5 years, but never dug into illustrator very deep.
Here's the problem: I made a little diagram of a cross section of materials in a wall in my house in preparation for a remodel where insulation will be added to the outside of the existing wall (below).
The use for the diagram is to show both contractors & building dept officials where "what" gets put in the wall cross section. In order to make sure no stone was left unturned for misinterpretation, I finished the drawing with a black line separating the old & new materials as you can see. The line was made with the line tool.
The hangup came when I decided to make the line a dashed line or even a dotted line, anything but continuous. Every other drawing program I have ever used usually has a way to select the "style" or "type" of line to display, but I could find no such thing in Illustrator and after 3 hours of searching & reading 'til my eyes went bonkers, I gave up, got a glass of Scotch and went to bed without supper.
Am I using the wrong tool? Should I be using the Pen or pencil instead of the line tool? Or should I be using the Scotch well in advance of my next ILLadventure? I tried "line style" & "line type" in searches with zero results. The mini tutorials don't mention it, that I could find. Did I miss that some where?
Can anyone throw me a life preserver? Please!
Ken

I am going to give you a little more information on the use of strokes in Illustrator and the dash feature
In CS 5 you can also use the width tool to varythe width of a stroke the width tool is in the tool panel or Shift + W
You can make the dash line a dotted line using the Dash Feature in the Stroke Panel by using the round cap and the setiing of zero for the dash and a gap greater that the measure of the stroke weight.
You can use the Appreance panel to add a stroke to a pah that already has a stroke and get effects such as these.

COOISPI listing wrong Production Line

We are experiencing problems with the COOISPI returning the wrong production line when selected by material only as below:
Transaction Code: COOISPI for:
     Order Headers
     Planned Orders
     Specific Material
     Specific Prod Plant (0050)
Results show Prod: Line: 3D03 for plant 0050
Same criteria except without Production Plant entry
Results shows Prod. Line 6D01 even for the previously specified plant 0050 which is not correct. It’s 3D03 as noted above.
Is this an inherent issue with COOISPI? Does anyone know a fix?

Thanks Rupesh but the production versions at each plant have the correct values for the Production Line. It's just that the COOISPI report does not always reflect that.
If you do not enter a plant (all plants), all plants show the same Production Line. (6D01 in the case cited). This is wrong for plant 0050.
If you do enter plant 0050, the correct Production Line (3D03) is shown.
I am attaching an.xml document with detailed information and screen shots.
Thanks Joe Goforth

In Mail, the "From" line shows the wrong name associated with the email id. How do I update it?

In Mail, the "From" line shows the wrong name associated with my email ID. I've looked over preferences and account information but have not found where I can update it.

There isn't an email address associated with the contact name who appears as the "from" in Mail. It used to be a shared email address and I already had updated the contact to list only the phone number in case that was causing the problem.

Applemac OSX 10.7.5 How do I spot pop ups appearing every time I click the mouse on-line. this has only just started.have I clicked something wrong??

You may have inadvertently installed adware. Eradicating it is simple and you don't have to download or install anything to fix it. For an explanation or how this may have occurred, how to avoid it in the future, and for one possible solution read How to install adware.
Blocking popup windows in Safari and ad blocker extensions can be useful, but they are often ineffective defenses for this particular threat.

Created path and used trim but the line appears from the wrong side?

Hey,
I've created a rectangle by using the pen tool, then applied a stroke to it. I've then added "trim paths" and the end value at 0seconds is 0% and then at 5 seconds its at 100% however the line appears from the wrong side of the screen, basically it's reversed, yet the reverse path symbol is not ticked.
The line is meant to appear from left to right of the screen with a 2px stroke, which will then have a mask applied to show a large black box appear from this line and fill the rest of the screen up.
Anyone able to help me at all?
Thank you.

If you animated the start then animate the end. Simple as that.

I checked the wrong box on for a website I use frequently and now recieve the message "Access to xpcom is denied. Set "signed.applets.codebase_principal_support=true" in about:config"; how can I change this?

I am tech challenged. I know this is probably a setting that just needs to be changed but I have idea on how or where to go to change it. It appears to be a security setting - I checked the wrong box on a firefox popup regarding access. The site is grammarly.com and when I attempt to paste my copy to be grammar checked it won't allow me to do so, and I get the above quoted message. Please help!

You can check the file prefs.js in the profile folder to see if you find any lines referring to that website and remove those capability.principal.codebase lines.

I accidently bought a book in the wrong language, swedish, I dont speak swedish. How can I change it to English?

Try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account (Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11) and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that book, click the arrow to the left of it, click the 'Report a Problem' button :
and then the 'Report a Problem' link on its line :
and select 'inadvertently purchased' as the problem and fill in the details (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes, which it is currently doing for me) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption.

Store rep signed me up under the wrong plan and no one in customer service has fixed it in over a month

I was bait and switched. I signed up under the pretense that I was getting the promotional rate of 40gb/$150 that was scheduled to end on November 5 2014.
I walked into a Verizon wireless store on November 4th with the intent to trade in my iPhone 5s which I was offered $350 trade in value and port over 2 of my lines with T-Mobile under the Verizon promotion. Once I was approved and offered my trade in I was told that the phones I was seeking to purchase from Verizon was not in stock and needed to be ordered, and delivered separately with the iPhone 6 being shipped out November 14 and the iPhone 6+ shipped November 21. Thomas, the Verizon wireless sales representative, also informed me that for me to get the promotional rate I would have to open the account with an active line before the 5th or I wouldn't be able to get the promotional rate since the phones would be delivered past the promotional date period. The sales representative insisted I should add an iPad that was in stock at the store and I could leave the store with an active account and once my phones were delivered I would be all set to go with my promotional plan and devices. I had no need for an iPad but decided it was worth getting for the sake of the promotion.
ON November 14 I recieved via FedEx a package containing not a iPhone 6 as promised, but a iPhone 6+. I called Verizon to activate the phone that was ported to my personal phone number, and didn't have my iPhone 6 that was set to port my out of state business line and cancel service with T-Mobile on the 14th of November. To say the least I was extremely upset for which I had no means of recieving business calls from North Carolina while I live in Florida. At that point I asked the Verizon customer care representative I had on the phone to see if they could see if there was a store that had the iphone 6 I ordered in stock so that I an could have a business phone the same day. He found a store that had it in stock and it happened to be the store I originally signed up at. I was told that it was in the color and storage capacity I had originally ordered and that I could pick it up at the store to complete my purchase with Verizon. Again, for the sake of having a business line I ran to the store and spoke with Thomas and explained the mix up. upon moving forward I was informed that they had an iPhone 6 in stock with the capacity I had requested but not the same color I had ordered. At that point I didn't care I just needed a phone and proceeded to activate the phone he had in stock And ported over my business line.
After recieving a text from Verizon that I had consumed all of my data just days after I recieved my phones I called Verizon 611 from my phone and spoke to a customer care representative named Fallon, which informed me I was set up on the wrong plan and that she see's the notes that Thomas notated that I was subscribing for a 40gb plan and that she was going to send a request I D # [removed] form to make the corrections and that there was no need for me to cancel service as I was within my cancelation period, again she insisted that there was no need to cancel and that the request would be granted and she would be calling me once my billing cycle reset and the corrections were made and she would credit my account based on the promotional rate. I NEVER RECIEVED A CALL FROM FALLON! Not even to be notified that the request was denied! I came to realize later in December when I recieved a $1200 bill that this wasn't resolved. I called customer service again and spoke with a gentleman that explained the request was denied and that this will be resolved after I explained what transpired. He assured me that he was going to expedite another request and he would be in contact with me within a few hours....... I'm still waiting for his call as well!
I called again several times in the past few days and have spoken to several supervisors that promised to resolve this matter and call me back promptly........ Again, no one has called me back!
December the 8th I spoke with a supervisor named Victoria which assured me she would get this resolved within the next 24 hours and gave me her direct number to reach her if I didn't hear from her [removed], again I haven't heard from her yet and I've made several attempts to reach her at her direct line to no avail.
December the 9th I spoke with supervisor named Mike employee #[removed] in the Seattle call center, he appoligized for the mix up and that no one has called me back and that he would handle this matter and get back to me today December 10th....... Again no call..... I have spoken to 3 people today all which have made promises to call me back today within a few hours and none that have. I just got off the phone with a supervisor named Vanessa Jentfield at the Chicago call center and saw all the notations and assured me that there is no reason why this shouldn't be corrected and that she would be calling me back tonight or tomorrow. I will be sitting by the phone unless Verizon wireless decides to disconnect my service for non payment of $1200+.........
I have filed a complaint giving a detailed explanation of what has transpired with the FCC as well as the FTC, my next step is to file a small claims lawsuit tomorrow morning with the state of Florida and see if Verizon finds a way to contact me then,I guess I will just have to wait and see.

It was a good idea to file a complaint with the FCC, someone from Verizon will contact you by phone in an effort to resolve your issue. I wouldn't suggest small claims court as they have not done anything illegal, (just bad customer service) and their contract with you is usually upheld, which in this case is not for the plan you want. The person contacting you likely has a little more pull, as the call centers can only uphold the written customer agreement made.

ITunes album artwork - how can I stop iTunes downloading the wrong artwork?

I was delighted to see that in the upgraded iTunes there is a facility to download album artwork using, I presume, much the same methodology as downloading track listings.
While my experience of downloading track listings has largely been OK - save for the odd niggle; my experience of the artwork function has been appalling.
Firstly, any release that is territory specific, e.g. UK only, or compilations, downloads the wrong artwork or no artwork at all. But also, the wrong artwork is attributed for classic albums by established acts. E.g. Genesis' Duke, downloads the artwork for Three Sides Line. Also, I have two Led Zeppelin albums and in each case, the art work downloaded was for the cheesy tribute group DREAD Zeppelin!!
Can anyone from Apple comment on this?
Also, if I manually insert the correct artwork; will this be overwritten if in the future I scan for updated artwork across my music collection? I have 65GB+ music on my hard drive, so that is an awful lot of album covers to get through!
Thanks,
A

Manually added album art will not be overwritten.

Safari 5.1 now is garbled with many of the sites having lines on top of each other. Is any one else having that issue? If so, how did you resolve it? Thanks in advance for any help.

"Did you make the .psd file with a transparent background (checkerboard) in Photoshop? And when you placed it in AI did you choose the top option Convert Photoshop Layers to Objects?"
Yep, and it still didn't work.
But I figured what I did wrong: I was selecting both the text and the heart, and then I was doing the whole Object>Wrap Text>Make thing, as opposed to just selecting the heart and doing it. Once I did it, I moved the heart around on top of the text, and it "made room" for the pic, wrapping itself around the heart.
Thanks so much, and thanks A MILLION for being so patient.
Jeez, when can I get some textbook to learn all the intricacies of Illustrator?

How do I access the item Schedule line date in VA01?

Hi,
I am using userexit_check_vbep to carry out some checks. I need to access the Schedule line date value (RV45A-ETDAT) but it is not available at that point. How can I read that value from the exit?
Thanks,
Kroc

Thanks Advait,
ahhh, I asked the wrong question. Yes, xvbep is available in the userexit but my code is being called earlier in the process. This is the call sequence
VBAP_FUELLEN
VBAP-VSTEL_ERMITTELN
VBAP-ROUTE_ERMITTELN
SD_ROUTE_DETERMINATION
EXIT_SAPL0VRF_001............This is where I need to access the schedule line data
Z_CUT_OFF_TIME_CALCULATE............This is where I need to access the schedule line data
Z_CUT_OFF_DETERMINE_DATA............This is where I need to access the schedule line data
Do you know if it is available at that stage?
Thanks,
Aidan.

Making my 2nd BT line the main phone line

Hi
I've been trying to find a solution for this with no luck. Spoken to several BT engineers (all based abroad!) and no one seems to understand the issue, let alone help. A pointer in the right direction would be hugely appreciated!
We have 2 lines coming into the flat - Let's call them Line 1 and Line 2. Line 1 is the main line around the house. If you plug any basic phone into a socket in any room, you get Line 1.
We have a Panasonic PBX system with both Line 1 and Line 2 going into it. Plug in a programmed Panasonic phone into any socket, and you get both line 1 and 2 available from the phone's selection menu.
We are dropping Line 1 and want to make Line 2 the main line in the house (Line 1 is hardly used anymore). We want to be able to plug a basic phone into any socket and get Line 2 by default. We also want to remove the PBX, although this is less of a priority. Main thing is to make Line 2 the default standard house line, and change our phones to basic standard phones.
I must be asking the wrong questions as I can’t find anyone than can help. Is this something BT can do? Is it the company that set up the PBX system (Spitfire I believe)?. Is it something I can do (I’m not hugely technical, but can follow basic steps)? What do I need to ask for, and to whom?
We do have a Cable & Wireless box near the PBX with two ethernet style cables coming out of them. They are labelled with the actual phone numbers of Line 1 and Line 2. I tried swapping those round, but it made no difference. Line 1 was still the main line. I suspect this is something compeltely unelated.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers

This was originally sold as a business system, was there once a business operating from the premises?

How can I allow the application to line through a field that has been locked after being digitally signed?
We have multiple sections on a form with some fields being proposed information and other in another section having the approved information. once the approved information is entered we line through the proposed field so the data entry clerk won't pick up the wrong information. However we are receiving an error when attempting to enter data in the field which we have this edit. Error property: line through cannot be set because doing so would violate the document permission setting. any idea how we can get around this issue?

You can control which fields are locked down after signing by setting up a collection. Then those that are not locked can be changed after signing. If this is not possible, then the line outs must occur prior to signing.
