Brand-newbie having trouble with "paste into"
I am teaching myself InDesign using tutorials and just tried to use the "paste into" function unsuccessfully. I have a document with a picture of a dog (a black silhouette) and a picture of a polkadot pattern. I selected and then cut the pattern one, selected the dog, and went to try "paste into" but the option was not available. I rewatched the tutorial and it's exactly what was shown (there was a picture with a pattern that was then pasted into a black airplane photo). Any idea why I wasn't able to do it? Thanks.
This is the video tutorial I watched, if anyone has a minute to check out the part I'm trying to replicate. It is at 7:40. I guess I need to know how the instructor got the "picture" of the plane there in the first place so I can do the same with my dog silhouette. I downloaded an image of a dog and did Command D to drop it in. Forgive me if I'm using the wrong terminology...

Newbie having trouble with template highlight (button)
Stupid question I'm sure, but for the life of me I can't figure it out:
When using a template, if I change anything at all about the TYPE related to a button, or the size of the button/text group, the corresponding HIGHLIGHT gets freaky. I can't for the life of me figure out how to control where that highlight appears, or even it's size, etc. So I have these beautiful DVD menus that are marred by weird highlight bars--some of them run across two buttons.
(Yes, I figured out how to make the highlights invisible, but that defeats the whole point of course.)
Hope my question wasn't confusing. Any help would be wildly appreciated. Thanks...Okay, let me pose a theory: Is it possible my installation is having trouble, in other words is what I'm seeing NOT normal?
Can anyone verify (it would only take a few minutes) my findings? Here are the steps: Create a brand-new project using (just to make sure we're on the same page) the Apple template called "Wedding Classical Index." Next, resize any one of the main elements (labeled "button 1," etc.). OR, change the text to two words, or modify the text size/font. When finished, hit the Simulate button and mouse over the button you modified.
Does the highlight look normal, e.g., underneath the text, etc., or has it moved to the side of the text, or changed into a vertical line, or worse?
I just want to verify that my installation isn't being screwy. Thanks to the kind soul who takes a minute to help me out with this so I can move on... -
Newbie having trouble with opt/rep regions
Hi everyone. I'm migrating my site from simple, square html
to nice, elegant css. I've done most of the work, but I'm having
some trouble with templates. Here's an example of how a page
created with a template will (hopefully) look:
http://www.technfun.com/temp/example.html
I've succeeded in making the article region (inside the white
frame) editable, but I can't figure out how to handle the side bar
menu. It's supposed to contain links to the chapters and
subchapters of the main article, so that clicking there will bring
you to the right place in the page (a simple # link, in other
words). However, the article writer (me) needs to be able to add as
many "SidebarLarge" entries as necessary. Under each of those there
may or may not be the need to add "SidebarSmall" entries for
subchapters.
I read the help file and figured out I need to do something
with the optional and repeating region settings, but whenever I try
I only ever manage to make a mess of the sidebar. Anyone can tell
me how exactly I'm supposed to do this?
Thanks :)Why not just make the whole sidebar an editable region
instead? Then you
can add as much stuff as you see fit.

Newbie having trouble with searching for apps.
I'm an experienced an experienced Windows user, finding myself surprisingly lost on my new iPad and iTunes.
(Surpising because, although I'm used to dealing with oddball and sometimes frustrating things on Windows, I had heard the Mac and iPad interface fast simpler to navigate and more frustration free.)
So please excuse what may seem like dumb newbie questions about what should be, and probably are to you experienced iTunes and iPad users, simple things:
For starters:
I'm search for a few apps in the app store that I know for sure exist and know the exact names:
One is the
iPad User Guide
The other is
the AOPA flight planner app.
I know it exists because it's installed on my wife's iPad. Can't remember how I found it on her iPad.
When I use the apps store search box (whether I do it in the app store in the iPad or in iTunes on my Windows 7 computer)
I keep failing to find them.
I've tried putting
iPad user guide
AOPA flight planner
or even just AOPA
in the search box in both environments and clicking the search (magnifying glass) icon.
I either get a mess of apps with AOPA in the name (but not the one I want)
or a message saying the equivalent of "sorry... not found."
What the heck am I doing wrong?
All help appreciated.
AlexYou are not doing anything wrong. Those apps just do not appear to be available any more.
They will always be available to your wife since she downloaded them and they are backed up in her iTunes Library (assuming she synced it with iTunes since downloading them) but it would appear that anyone else trying to find them will be unsuccessful.
These are not dumb questions nor are they trivial concerns. The whole digital distribution method has many advantages, but you just ran into one of its drawbacks.
"Ownership" of software was always a controversial subject, but the way things are going the argument will soon be a moot point... unfortunately. -
Newbie having trouble with iCloud
Hello-
I was at the Verizon Store today for 3 hours trying to learn the basic of the iPhone 5. There is a lot for me to learn, but one day at a time. For some reason I was able to use my iTune sign-in info for an App that required it and I can sign into apple.com/support and apple.com to get to the forums, but when I try to sign into icloud it keeps telling me that "Verify Your Account" This apple IDs email address cannot be verified. Change your Apple ID's email address at appleid.apple.com to sign in to iCloud."
If I change my iCloud email address will this mess up me being able to sign into iTunes and the other places I use my Apple ID?
Is the Apple ID the same as the iCloud sign-in information? It says under iCloud. Apple ID and Password. I have tried it literally 30 times and it still will not sign me in.
should I change my Apple ID or does anybody know what the hang-up could be? Occasionally I have had an issue signing in to apple.com/support where it has said you cannot use an email address, but I click sign in again and it signs me in. I have had the same apple ID and password for years with no issues really until I got this iPhone and tried to sign into iCloud.I never had this problem. I went to the apple support page for setting up icloud and it said to use the same info you use to sign into itunes. I realized that one had my email address as minus the @gmail.com and one had it added at the end. I just added it to the one that did not have it, clicked slect and agreed to the terms and I got an email saying Welcome to the icloud. then i used what I had already put in the iPhone 30 times and this time it accepted it. therre were so many people at the Verizon store trying to figure this out.
It asked me now if I want my contacts and all to go the the Cloud? I selected Yes, was that the right thing to do?
So what does this allow me to do now because it obviously did not affect me getting into iTunes or the App Store like the support article said it should. the article said it is BEST to have the same Apple ID for iTunes, Icloud, etc.
It is now saying 5 GB Free and under that payment information. Does sending the stuff I clicked Yes to cost? -
Newbie having trouble with keyframes
I'm a newbie to Flash, and have just started going through
the online tutorial here:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/intro_flash_pt2_04.html
This is the problem I'm having: In the section "Creating a
frame-by-frame animation", when I have created the symbols, and
want to edit them, the Properties Inspector shows that the images
are bitmaps, not movie clips. Why is this? Shouldn't they have
become movie clips when I created the symbols, renamed them, and
saved them as movie clips? Is there something I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Text
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/intro_flash_pt2_04.htmlDid you have the bitmaps selected and chose "Modify - Convert
to Symbol" (F8) when you "created the symbols"?
Or did you select "Insert - New Symbol" (Ctrl-F8)? This would
of course have created empty movieClips and left your bitmaps
untouched. -
Newbie Having Trouble with MaxDate
First let me say that I am pretty new to writing code, so I apologize if I don't use the correct terminology. Now to my issue. I'm trying to write a query that will return several date fields. The problem is that there can be several instances for each primary key, so I want to see the Max Date of each instance. I've googled and googled, but I don't seem to be finding the right answer. Additionally, I have a couple of fields in particular that raise an issue. I have instances where a primary key is showing up multiple times because the Template field can have multiple entries. I can't seem to figure out how to write the code that only pulls in the Template value of A in the event an A and C are present.
Output
P_Key Template Template_Removed_Date
1 A
1 C 10/23/11
2 C 08/15/11
2 C 04/12/10
2 C 12/05/09
Desired Output
P_Key Template Template_Removed_Date
1 A
2 C 08/15/11
Any assistance you can offer would be greatly appreciated!!
Also, if there is any online training that would be of assistance to my cultivation in PL/SQL, please let me know.
Cheers!This doesn't have anything to do with Oracle Designer. You should ask this in the SQL forum.
Anyway, your design is wrong:
The problem is that there can be several instances for each primary keyThat is NOT possible. A primary key is a unique value. It is impossible, if you create the PK properly, to have more than one instance. So, you probably mean something else, but ask this in the SQL forum. -
Newbie having trouble with M-Audio Interface
I'm probably overlooking something obvious, but I cannot get my M-Audio FireWire 1814 to be recognized by my Mac, I've reinstalled the software multiple times and still it tells me that there is no device. (I've been careful not to hot-plug the FireWire connection). Here's my setup: IMac, (running OS X.4.8), Logic Express, M-Audio FireWire 1814, and Korg Trition Studio. I'd appreciate any help.
-Crog
IMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)i don't think that is what the org poster meant. i think they were meaning that he hasn't blown his firewire connection, and that he is letting the m-audio driver load at startup.
i don't think that it had anything to do with m-audio being hot plugable.

Since I downloaded iOS6, I can login to my personal WiFi, but one network that I had joined a long time ago reflects a connection without connecting to WiFi. When I checked the settings to reinsert my password, it appears as if I'm connected, however, subsequent to that it takes me to a blank page on apple.com and kills the connection. Has anyone else had this experience?
reading other threads:
My solution is not working in general. It seem to be that iOS6 changed something in portforwarding with UPnP
and in my special case with an "AVM FRITZ!Box WLAN" router, it was a workarround to weak the WLAN security.
In other cases with "Netgear" routers older firmware will work with iOS 6.0
So maybe you can find a solution for your own router or wait maybe a week (I'm sure)
until apple will publish iOS 6.1 or iOS 6.0.1
This situation is teaching again, let test other users null versions one week and then update.
BUT YEAH I wanted iOS6 and solving the problem with the network, I can tell you there are great improvments in it. -
Newbie- having troubles with background color when opening new document
Hey everyone and thanks for the help in advance. New to the forums and haven't been able to find the answer online. Whenever I open Photoshop (using Adobe Creative Cloud) I set my size, my background to white, etc. The document always opens looking like this: http://screencast.com/t/BzCYc4akl
Almost like it's transparent but I don't have that selected. Can anyone help here? Thanks!Hi,
It looks like the Grids are enabled.
If in photoshop you go to View>Show and click on the word Grid, does that make a difference? -

I'm having trouble with my macbook pro, I have only had it for three months, when I plugged a camera sd card into the sd slot it isn't appearing anywhere on the computer and i can not access my photographs. can somebody please help me?

Clifton I must disagree with you on the above statement. It is my opinion and experience that you should never connect the camera directly to any computer, Mac Windows Whatever.
It is always best to Remove the memory card from the camera and put it in a card reader, whether an external reader or one built into the computer, to copy images from the card.
Hi Shootist. I would be interested in hearing some reasoning on this. I almost always use a USB cable to connect my camera to the MBP for transferring pictures, and have moved about 30,000 this way over the last 6 years since my photography went digital. Recently, on the rare occassions when I have only a few to transfer and I was too lazy to go for the cable, I have used the card reader; about half those times I have difficulty getting the MBP to recognise the card. I find I have to press the card very hard into the slot for it to be recognised.
My rationale is quite possibly wrong, but I feel that the USB connectors are more robust and hard-wearing than the flimsy connectors on an SD card. Also, I haven't measured it, but I think the data transfer is faster with the cable. (I just came across this test, which reports noticeably faster transfer for cable than built-in card reader, but the computer was a PC)
Chiara, sorry for hijacking your thread. -
Just bought a brand new airport extreme and having trouble with it being recognized. My mac is version 10.5.8. What should I do?
The new AirPort Extreme needs the 6.x version of AirPort Utility, which comes packed in with Lion 10.7.5 or Mountain Lion 10.8.x......or......you can also configure the device using an iPhone or iPad running a recent iOS.
From Apple's Specifications:
Setup and Administration
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later and AirPort Utility 1.3
Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and AirPort Utility 6.3
A few options.....
Borrow another Mac running Lion or Mountain Lion for 10-15 minutes and set it up. The Mac running 10.5.8 will be able to connect to the wireless....but it will not be able to make any changes to the configuration of the Extreme.
Update to Lion or Mountain Lion.....but check first to make sure that your Mac will support the operating system first.
Use....or borrow an iPhone or iPad to set up the Extreme -

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
[[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
[[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
volume controls issues are windows, not firefox.
How your copy and paste your image? from where to where
