Can I take an image created in Illustrator and have it be on the Character Map? I need to use it as

I have an image that I need to use as a bullet many times for a specific client. Is there a way to take that image from Illustrator and convert it to something on the Character Map?

If by Character Map, you mean the Windows Character Map application, which lets you view the glyphs in a given font, then no, you can't do that with Illustrator.
In order for your bullet (a new glyph) to appear in the Windows Character Map application, it would have to be a glyph inside a font.
Illustrator does not provide the capability of directly editing font files. (Corel Draw does.)
So if you want to edit an existing font, or create a new font, you need a program that can edit and/or modify fonts.
In modifying fonts, you would be restricted by the limitations inherent in fonts: your custom bullet or dingbat would need to consist of a single simple or compound path, and could only receive one color, as any other text object.
The far more common approach to this problem is to use inline graphics. All of Illustrator's mainstrream competitors (and even InDesign) allow you to paste a graphic into a textframe, inline with the text, and have it behave as if it were a character in the text. Illustrator has never provided that commonplace feature.
If you use InDesign you can, as a ridiculously cumbersome workaround, create your text object in InDesign, paste the artwork element(s) inline. When done, copy the whole text object and paste into Illustrator. It will be pasted into AI as PDF content, meaning a Clipping Mask containing a bunch of individual pointType objects and the bullets as separate objects.

Why can't I copy an email to pages and have it wrap to the page?

Why can't I copy an email to pages and have it wrap to the page margins?

Just do a Remove All.
I would first find two consecutive EOL characters and replace with an extra line feed or a visible marker like an ampersand. Then Remove All EOL characters. Then replace all the all the ampersands with a CR/LF. It's pretty quick. A lot quicker than trying to remove 500 EOL characters one at a time.
Or, ask the sender to create the document in a word processor, zip it, then send it to you.

Can i print from my apple in Australia and have a delivered in the USA?

Hello,
I'm wondering if I can order a photo to be printed from my apple in Australia's hard drive and have it printed and delivered in the USA? (New York)
Very greateful for any help!
If I am unable to do this - are there any US resident out there who can suggest a online printing/delivering service.
Thanks, Nicole

No, but there is a workaround...
From the iPhoto Help menu ...
Ordering overview
You can easily order books, cards, and calendars that you create using iPhoto. You can also order prints of your photos.
To order professionally printed books, cards, or calendars, or prints of your photos, you need:
An Internet connection
An Apple Store account
If you previously ordered from an Apple website, including the iTunes Store, you already have an Apple Store account and an Apple ID. If you don’t, you’re guided through setting up an account the first time you order prints, books, cards, or calendars.
Orders must be placed, paid for, and shipped within your country. If you order in the United States, you can have your order shipped anywhere within the United States; if you order in France, you can have your order shipped anywhere within France; and so on.
To send prints, books, cards, or calendars to an address outside your country, first have the order shipped to yourself (in your country) and then mail it to another country.

I have got an ipod and now an iphone can I have two ids on the one computer or need to use same

I have an Ipod and have just got an Iphone 4S can I have two different ids on the one email address

You can us more than one Apple ID/iTunes account on one computer.See:

It is simpler to use one account though.

I had my screen replaced at a local shop and now the earpiece doesn't work. I have the original screen still, can I take it to an apple store and have it repaired?

I stupidly tried opening up my iPhone 5s to clean the rear camera a few weeks ago. In doing so I tore one of the cables on the display and it stopped working, as did the home button. I had to take it to a local shop where I was charged £100 for the screen repair and a new home button (I was told that the fingerprint scanner would no longer work).
Long story short, I took the phone back the next day because I couldn't hear anything through the earpiece, but the speaker was working. The guy did something to do my phone and fixed it temporarily, now about 3 weeks later it still isn't working.
I would take it back to the same shop and complain, but I will probably get the same shoddy service. I really regret not taking it to the apple store in the first place as it probably wouldn't have been much more expensive. What are my options?

Since everything you did voided your warranty, Apple will at best charge you the out of warranty replacement fee, and offer you a refurbished iPhone of same specs as your own.
You'll need to take it in and discuss your options with them directly if they wish to offer you any.

Can you take a photo on an ipad and tag/write something on the photo?

Not without a third party app. You can search the app store for apps that let you caption and write on photos but there is no native functionality for this in iOS.

How can I convert an image created in Photoshop into a format that Java's ImageIO library will take?

Hi all,
I've been trying to write an image resize tool to use the Lancoz resample algorithm to resize images to a high standard in Java. The library with the algorithm/filter in it is mortennobel's image scaling library and it takes a buffered image as an input and returns the resized image as desired. However the trouble I’m having is that the ImageIO library in Java, a standard library, which converts images given to its read method to buffered images doesn't accept certain images created in Photoshop and so it throws an exception. My library needs to be fully automated to process possible thousands of images at a time and so manually converting them by resaving them as JPEG's is really feasibly. Is there some way I can convert these images from Adobes Exif format to standard JFIF format? I've tried simple inserting the APP0 marker from a JFIF image in-between the SOI and APP1 marker but the ImageIO library still failed.
The above image is a screenshot of the binary in hex of one of the images that cause an Invalid Format exception when passed to ImageIO.
Any help you could offer me with this would be much appreciated.
Kind regards and thank you,
Alexei Blue
Science Warehouse.
NB: I previously posted this post in Developers but was told to post it in a Photoshop forum so apologies if this is the incorrect formum

The image scaling library does have a BiCubicFilter in it so I'll experiment around with them and see what happens. As for the imageIO library I think it accepts Exif image types, but still for some reason it just doesn't like Adobe Photoshop types. Maybe its the colour map it doesn't like I just can't seem to work out what's wrong which is slightly frustrating but looking round to see if I can find an answer

Can I create an album on my iphone and have it stores all the photos I take from then on to that folder/album?

can I create an album on my iphone and have it stores all the photos I take from then on to that folder/album?
I think that would be super useful before you go to an event, create a folder on the phone for that event and just use it to take pictures. All the pictures for the event will be in that album and no need to move pics around at a later time!

That would be great, but unfortunately, all new pictures automatically go into the Camera Roll.
I wish that once you created an album and selected it to import from the Camera Roll, it would delete from the Camera Roll.

Can I take a frame from my project and use it as a custom menu background with CS4 and its Encore

My project is edited in CS4.
I moved it to Encore CS4.
I don't want to use any of the supplied menu templates in CS4 Encore.
I was hoping CS4 would be all I needed to create custom menus using scenes from my project.
My question is: Can I take a frame from my project and use it as a custom menu background with CS4 and its built in Encore or do I need some other element from the Adobe catalog to make these custom chapter menus and sub-menus?
Thanks Jim

OK, I'm back. Here are my steps for creating Custom Menus with PS, En and PrPro:
In PrPro, move the CTI (Current Time Indicator) to the desired Frame. Check Frames on either side, with the Program Monitor’s Magnification to 100%, or maybe even 200% (you’ll need to scroll, but get a really clear picture). You want the clearest Frame in that area. With AME, in CS4, you’ll want to Export that Frame as .TIFF, or .BMP. I use .TIFF for this.
Now, for a caveat. When you Import this Exported Frame into Photoshop, be sure to check the specs., especially the PAR. You may have to use Image>PAR to adjust this to match your Project’s specs. Or, all might be perfect - just check this out.
Now, at this point, I choose the Library Menu, Blank, so that everything is setup. One can create the Menu from scratch, but careful attention needs to be paid to the exact naming conventions. At the very least, unless you’ve done this dozens of times before, use that Blank Menu, or similar as a guide, so you get things done, as they must be done.
Using that Blank Menu, just drag the Layer from your Exported Frame to your Menu image. It will appear above the black Background.
Add, or manipulate your Button Layer Sets, as is required, keeping them together. Remember that Button #1 will be the Button Layer Set, that is lower down in the Layers Palette. This can play a roll with Button Routing, back in Encore. Lower Button Layer Sets will have lower Button numbers.
Now, I always rename my Button Layer Sets, keeping the required characters - just changing the name. I also do all of my Button text in PS, and make sure to turn OFF Sync Button Names.
When done, Save_As .PSD, and then Import_As_Menu into Encore. Note: if you start with the Blank Menu, you can choose Edit in Photoshop, and then when done in PS, you just need to Save, and it will update in Encore. This is a personal workflow choice. I do the Edit in Photoshop route, but it is not necessary. One just needs to Import the resulting .PSD into Encore with Import_As_Menu, so that Encore does all the things that it needs to and recognizes the .PSD as a Menu.
When deciding what to base your Menu on, remember that you can "populate" your Menu with Buttons from the Functional Content. I’d suggest studying these Assets, and picking the ones that work best for you. You can still alter/edit those back in PS, so you just need to "get close."
Pay special attention to the required naming conventions. You cannot deviate from those first characters in the Button Layer Sets. They MUST be followed.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask.
Good luck,
Hunt

Ok, I had a glitch, forced to restart, and lost my train of thought.
Reinstalling iTunes should fix the major issue that might have gone wrong, perhaps your explaination points will disappear and everything will be peachy again.
But if they don't, you can open the XML file in iTunes Folder using a Text edit program to see what the common pathname is to the iTunes Music folder or where your content is located.
If you moved the itunes folder, it needs to go back.
I can't download iTunes to my Vista virtual machine to test it out right now because iTunes is down, so I can't verify the pathname, perhaps your issue and the iTunes being down are related somehow?
You don't want to import all your music again, but it's a option, but you lose all your playlists, that's what I'm trying to recover.
If oyu don't have a whole lot of playlists, then simply select all the explaimation point music and delete, select File from the menu and import your itunes folder again.

Two PDF's - 1 created from Illustrator and the other Acrobat. Same colour is different in both. Why?

Two PDF's - 1 created from Illustrator and the other Acrobat. Same colour is presented differently in both pdf documents. Why?

Hi - sorry pressed send too quickly....
I have two PDF documents that show a sample business card in PDF.
One was apparently created through illustrator and is the focument for the printers ... it is this document that shows a completely different colour to the one that is in the other PDF that was apparently created in Acrobat. Though designers assure me that they are exactly the same patenone and that it's the software interpretting it.
What i dont understand is why the colours would look different using the software from the same company....and why designers would put up with this as a basic layman it just looks plain wrong to me.

I want to move a selection (a person) into an image of a brick wall and have it look like the person was painted on the wall. Can it be done? Using CC on iMac. Thanks

Yes of course its Photoshop. Cut the person out copy to clipboard paste onto toe brick wall document and texture the layer using a displacement map for the brick wall. Look for Photoshop tutorials on using a displacement map.

The NEF file only gives a little "nef" icon. i was able to convert the NEF to DNG on the old computer and then brought the files over to the new computer. On the old computer, the NEF files were depicted as little jpeg's so I would be able to see a picture of what each file represented. On the new computer, both the NEF files and the DNG files are depicted with icons, "nef" or "dng", but not as little pictures. On the new computer, though, I am to import the DNG's into Adobe and edit them so that is working regardless of whether or not a picture is present for the icon of each file. I've downloaded the DNG converter from Adobe and will try the conversion directly on the new computer when I get home from work. I do appreciate your responses and will let you know how it works.
I am curious then, since right now the files are represented by little "nef"'s and little "dng"'s: If I also download the viewNX (spelling might be wrong, sorry) from nikon, do you know if that maintains the file as a RAW format file but allows a picture representation of the RAW file for the icon? (That would make it easier to choose which RAW files I would choose to edit and which to not even bother with as an initial culling if that makes sense.
Cheers.
