  • Can't line up two shapes on top of each other -they repel away with each try. Need help!

    I have been using Illustrator since version 88 (1988), and I just recently upgraded from CS4 to CS5.5. I'm on a Mac intel running v10.6.8
    I was trying to lock a rectangle over a circle. I'm in preview mode and couldn't see the snap to point action, so I zoomed up to 3200%  and turned off preview to view it better. I made the circle first, then I made the rectangle. I selected the complete rectangle with the direct selection tool and grabbed it by the top left point and dragged it to the top control point on the circle. After letting go of the rectangle it jumped away, only a .5 of a pixel but still it wouldn't stay in place. (at the 3200% view it looks like 3/8 of an inch jump)
    A slight miss alignment in PostScript can cause a mitre limit problem "down the road" if my design happens to get reduced —and besides I'm just not used to Illustrator being inaccurate.
    Being that this is CS5.5, I'm hoping someone else that has experience this and has a fix. Perhaps there is just a menu turn off/on that I'm not aware of for this version...
    Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
    See reference images below showing the jump distance -— its as if the two shapes have magnetically opposit polarity and they repel each other:
    --Rob

    Whenever installing a new version, at least review the information about new features.
    Turn off the infernal Align To Pixel Grid feature.

  • HT3153 Can the early 2006 MAC mini support a DVI to hdmi adapter for TV monitor support?

    Can the early 2006 MAC Mini support a DVI to HDMI adapter for a TV Monitor?

    Hi, I can't see why not...
    Supports digital resolutions up to 1920x1200 and analog resolutions as high as 1920x1080.

  • Can I use a Mac mini with a VGA monitor?

    The Mac mini web page lists an Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter as an accessory, but the Mac mini doesn't appear to have a Mini DisplayPort.
    The Mac mini also has an HDMI to DVI Adapter included, but would this allow a VGA monitor to be connected via an additional DVI to VGA cable? ie. can the HDMI port provide an analogue signal that a VGA monitor can receive?

    Some Mac Minis do have mini-DisplayPorts.  In these two it is between the HDMI and the USB ports:
    (yes Thunderbolt should accept mini-Displayport).
    In this one it is between the Mini-DVI and the USB ports:
    Only the oldest Intel models would you need a different adapter to VGA
    Those you would need a DVI to VGA adapter from Apple such as this one.  Note, DVI to VGA is converting digital to analog, and not very useful, unless your TV has neither DVI nor HDMI.  DVI is much better converted up to HDMI.  And the audio would have to come in separately.  So depending on your display model and make, you may be asking for the wrong adapter.  VGA is fine if all you are going to do is view DVDs on an old TV.  But if you want the ability to use the Dock, menubar, etc..., it is good to have a 1080p TV with built-in HDMI or better.

  • Can you mirror a Mac Mini to an AppleTV 3 when the mac mini is not connected to a display?

    Hello, I have an AppleTV 3 connected to my television and a late 2012 Mac Mini that is not connected to a display/monitor/tv, but I use it as my iTunes server to stream media to the appletv .  However, I was hoping I could mirror the Mac Mini to the AppleTV in order to see Safari and regular Hulu on the television, but when I try, the picture is scrambled and crashes the mac mini.  I turn on airplay mirroring using the Rowmote application on my iphone since I cannot see what the mac mini is displaying.
    Additionally, I tried connecting the mac mini to a 2nd hdmi port in the television, while the appletv is connected to the 1st hdmi port, but the image was also scrambled with mirroring turned on.  My television also has a VGA port that can connect to the Mac Mini, but I figure the same problem will occur and have not bought the DVI to VGA cords.
    Is there a way to mirror a mac mini to an appletv without the mac mini connected to a separate display and if so, what am I doing wrong?
    Thank you for the responses, I appreciate any help.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer).
    On the basis of the specifications you have given for your set up, mirroring should work.

  • How can i get mynew mac mini to use the drive in my old mac pro

    When I first got my new mac mini it dosen't have an internal drive.   So I hooked it up on the network and fire wire.  I could use the superdrive in the mac pro just fine  both itunes and the dvd player worked as they would with a internal drive.   But now a couple of upgrade down loads later not so much.  yes I can connect with screen share and can get the dvd player to play dvd's but still can't get itunes to use the superdrive.  Iht exect disk icon in the apple menue bar use to open and close the super drive but now it reads "no disk" How can I get my mac mini to automaticly use the superdrive when i turn on the mac pro. 
    I've done all the easy things changing the order of start up and share settings and i sware it did work ok when i first hooked it up.

    http://www.totalapps.net/mac/remote-disc-sharing-when-the-superdrive-doesn’t-wor k-2/
    Mind you, booting off the external optical drive of another computer may not be practical because of the different operating system limitations of the computers.   I would just purchase an external optical drive from http://www.macsales.com/ if you find it doesn't work.

    Based on your description, you are having a kernel panic.
    Can you post some of your crash logs? Might be a clue. See Mac OS X: How to log a kernel panic http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2546
    Understanding crash logs isn’t easy and it’s hard (sometimes impossible) to decipher the cause of the problem. Take a look at Apple’s Crash Reporter document at http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2004/tn2123.html Also look at Tutorial: An introduction to reading Mac OS X crash reports
    http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20060309075929717
    Kernel panics are usually caused by a hardware problem – frequently RAM, a USB device or a Firewire device. What external devices do you have connected? When trying to troubleshoot problems, disconnect all external devices except your monitor, keyboard and mouse. Do you experience the same problems?
    To eliminate RAM being the problem, Look at this link: Testing RAM @ http://guides.macrumors.com/Testing_RAM Then download & use Memtest & Ramber.
    Do you have an Apple Hardware Test disc (the AHT is on the Install/Restore DVD that came with your Mac)? Running the Apple Hardware Test in Loop Mode is an excellent troubleshooting step for finding intermittent hardware problems. It is especially useful when troubleshooting intermittent kernel panics. If Loop Mode is supported by the version of the Apple Hardware Test you are using, you run the Extended Test in Loop Mode by pressing Control-L before starting the test. Looping On should appear in the right window. Then click the Extended Test button.The test will run continuously until a problem is found. If a problem is found, the test will cease to loop, indicating the problem it found. If the test fails, be sure to write down the exact message associated with the failure.In some cases, RAM problems did not show up until nearly 40 loops, so give it a good run.
    May be a solution on one of these links.

  • I can't remember my mac mini password and can only log in under test, please help

    I can't remeber my Mac mini password and can only log in under Test.  Please help me as I would like to access my photos and personal information.  Thanks

    Forgot Your Account Password
    For Snow Leopard and earlier
         Mac OS X 10.6- If you forget your administrator password
    For Lion/Mountain Lion
        Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
         When the menubar appears select Terminal from the Utilities menu.
         Enter resetpassword at the prompt and press RETURN. Follow
         instructions in the dialog window that will appear.
         Or see Reset a Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Password and
         OS X Lion- Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    If you cannot do the above then try this:
      1. Boot to Safe Mode by restarting and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-S keys until a black screen with white type appears.
      2. At the prompt, type the following commands pressing return after each command line:
         /sbin/fsck -yf
         If you do not receive a "Filesystem OK" message then repeat this command until
         you do.  If after seven tries you still do not receive a "Filesystem OK" message,
         then the system is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled.
         mount -uw /
         cd /private/var/db/netinfo
         mv local.nidb local.old
         rm ../.AppleSetupDone
         shutdown -r now
    The second-to-last command above will cause OS X to think that the operating system is newly installed, and when the new owner starts up the computer it will send him/her to the startup wizard where he/she can start a new user without reinstalling.
    This last method does not actually change a password. It simply removes the user accounts and lets you create an initial admin account as if the computer were new out of the box.
    How to reset the OS X password without a startup CD:
    Reboot into Single-user Mode. Enter the following and press RETURN after each command line
       1. Type fsck -fy
       2. Type mount -uw /
       3. Type passwd <username>
    I have never tried this method myself.

  • Can't connect to mac mini leopard shares or screen share

    i'm having problem connecting to a mac mini that is on my network (running leopard 10.5.8) and is wired to the network via an AEBS.
    previously when my MBP was also running 10.5.8 i had no problems using screen sharing and connecting to 2 shares on it using "afp://10.x.x.x/sharename", or browsing to them via finder.
    i did a clean install of SL on the MBP and now even though the mac mini shows up in finder, when i select it it just sits there trying to connect and eventually the beach ball appears and fails saying it can't connect to it.
    when i try to connect to the shares using command-K, again it won't connect to the shares.
    if i try to connect to them using the samba share that is also configured on the mac min then is does connect to them.
    i can ping the mac mini using network utility.
    any ideas what the problem is? everything worked fine before i wiped and installed SL.

    HI,
    Make sure screen sharing is turned on and you have set up sharing permissions on the computer whose screen you want to share.
    To set up screen sharing:
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Sharing.
    Select the Screen Sharing checkbox.
    To specify who can share your screen, select one of the following:
    All users: Select this if you want to allow any user with a user account on your computer to share your screen.
    Only these users: Select this if you want to restrict screen sharing to specific users.
    Click Add + at the bottom of the Users list and select a user from Users & Groups (accounts you have set up in Accounts preferences), Network Users (users on your network), or your Address Book. Or click New Person and enter a name and password to create a sharing account. Then select that user from the list and click Select.
    Click Computer Settings and set the following options:
    Anyone may request permission to control screen: Select this to allow anyone on your network to request to share your screen.
    VNC viewers may control screen with password: Select this and enter a password that VNC viewer applications can enter in order to control your screen.
    It’s recommended that you not set a password if you only share this computer’s screen using the built-in screen sharing viewer in Mac OS X.

  • In FCPX can I stack clips of multiple angles on top of each other and choose what parts I want to make my movie out of?

    Hi there
    I'm debating whether to purchase FInal Cut Pro X or not and I'm new(ish) to video editing.
    What I have done so far is produce a music video mimed to audio and shot at about 20 different angles. Each angle is the length of the ENTIRE song, not just snipets.
    What I want to be able to do is have those 20 videos sitting stacked up on top of each other (completely synced to the audio) and be able to choose what parts of what video I make my final video out of.
    So I want to be able to tell the system to start at angle 1, then at a specific time move to angle 6, then angle 19, then back to angle 1, then angle 16 etc etc etc.
    But I dont want to cut up the parts of each camera angle first, I want to be able to select a specific part to play from each ENTIRE camera angle.
    Is this possible please? And also what is the correct terminology for this process?
    I apologise for not using the correct terminology here, as I dont know the correct words for what I am trying to explain.
    Thanks

    can i use my mac mini for some users at the same time? i mean with their own screen, mouse, and keyboard

    If you're asking whether more than one user can use the computer at the same time with multiple displays, the answer is no. Other users can log in over a network with Screen Sharing, but each one will need his own computer (not necessarily a Mac.)

    I've not seen it at stores, but each store has its own space restrictions, which may affect whether or not it is stocked.  Call your store and ask.    The number for Apple's own retail store is on http://www.apple.com/retail/ and the extension is usually 5 to speak to a real person.  If you get AppleCare, you have been redirected off the store's phone system.
