Can someone from Adobe please explain why measurements in CS6 are not accurate..PLEASE?

I'm tired of wasting my time looking for reasons why measurements I key in are constantly changed to some arbitary number decided by Illustrator. I'm currently working on a 100mm x 100mm box with a corresponding grid and yet for some reason my measurements get changed to 100.238mm or 99.834mm or similar... I just wasted another 10 minutes trying to work out how to ask someone this question...am I the only one experiencing this...NO! Any answers Adobe, please?

The above answers are absolutely correct, because it was obvious @Brayhill had Pixel-Snap turned on.
Specifically for print work, where keying in values may sometimes not show correctly* in the Control Bar at the top, there is another little hidden setting in Preferences -> General -> Use Preview Bounds.
If you are doing millimeter perfect templates for example, and want the total to show for example 100 x 100mm, regardless of the stroke weight asigned, just uncheck the Preview Bounds box in Preferences.
*Checked will always add your stroke width (as well as some other effects) to the total shown in the Control Bar. This can also be very useful at times, say when you need to fit an entire group with strokes and effects within 100x100mm, like an advertisement.

  • Can someone at RIM/Blackberry explain why they disabled/eliminated full Outlook sync?

    Could someone at RIM/Blackberry explain why they disabled/eliminated full Outlook sync via Desktop application? Don't they realize this was a major differentiator and advantage from iPhone and Android? Not having to sync via the cloud?   There must be a reason?  why not just leave it as an option for those who want it?

  • Virtual hosts and mod_oc4j.  Can someone from Oracle please answer, at least reply.

    Can someone please explain how to configure mod_oc4j and virtual hosts. It can be done with mod_jk, but I am have major problems in getting it to work with mod_oc4j.

    I am not sure about mod_jk so I won't touch that.
    mod_oc4j introduces directives that have the scope of either default server or virtual host - just like most OHS (Apache) directives. By default, these directives are in a file mod_oc4j.conf, and this file is included at the highest level.
    If you do want those mount points defined in mod_oc4j.conf to be available only to a certain virtual host etc., you can either create a mod_oc4j_vh1.conf file and have it included within the scope of the vh1 virtual host. Or, you can just define those directives right within the vh1 virtual host directive.

  • Adobe Flash CS6 corrupted the .fla file that I made. Can someone from Adobe support recover my file?

    I work on a brandnew Macbook pro with lot's of HD and memory, Yosemite version.
    I bought Flash CS6 for 700 dollars. It hangs, it unexpectedly quits, but worse, it  corrupts the file i have been working on for an entire day. It makes it 981kb and then says it fails to open it.
    I want to know where can I get some customer service from Adobe. I paid for this software and I want to be able to send a ticket to the the support so they can figure out what went wrong and if they can recover my file. The file didn't even have 70 frames yet. But each frame had a drawings with pencil that are very detailed. So hence my frustration

    1.  periodically save your fla file with an appended version number so that never happens to you again.  eg, yourproject_01.fla, yourproject_02.fla etc.  that policy (saving frequently with appended version numbers) is a good idea with all software, adobe or otherwise.
    2.  to prevent future crashes/hangs, reset your flash pro preferences, Re-create preferences.
    3.  don't force the termination of a flash save unless you have little to lose.  you should allow, at least, 2 minutes or you're likely to corrupt your fla by doing that.
    4.  you may be able to recover your fla by renaming it to a rar and using winrar to repair it.  that's a long shot but occasionally works.
    5.  adobe support's not likely to offer you much help, but if you want to try contact adobe support by clicking here and, when available, click 'still need help', https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html

  • Can someone from sky please call me back

    I spent 50 minutes on the phone waiting to speak to a live human being. I spent 50 minutes listening to a machine talk to me and play music.
    I wasted £30 of phone credit and still did not speak to a sky rep. To fix the broken internet
    This is the worst customer service ever!
    Why is sky charging customers to phone them, when its their fault that the service they provide is not working.
    The phone calls to sky should be free
    And if sky is too cheap to do that, which i find hard to believe considering they are a multi billion dollar telecommunications company, they should at least provide a complimentary request a call back service to their paying customers who are having technical difficulties due to their failure to do their job properly!!!!
    Disgusted, does not even remotely describe my feelings about sky.

    If you install the sky service app you can use it to request a call back.
    Sky will not call you based on your post here as this is a customer helps customer forum on which they do not reply to posts on.

  • Can someone at Adobe please deactivate CS3 for me?

    Hi, I own several websites built with CS3. Yesterday the license stopped working. I've spent all of yesterday and half of today trying all the suggestions on Adobe's site and others. Short of reformatting my hard drive and reinstalling windows, I don't know what else I can do and I'm not sure that will fix the problem.
    Because I wasn't able to start CS3 when the license stopped I wasn't able to deactivate my software in order to reinstall on a different machine.
    If you work for Adobe, would you please do me a favor and deactivate my software and let me know so I can then reinstall on a different computer?
    Thanks so much.
    Bill

    You need to check out some of the other threads on battery issues (but not the very long one) in this forum.  There are a lot of suggestions from users who seems to solved the problem.
    But you won't get any Apple input here, as this is a user-to-user forum and Apple usually doesn't respond to out posts.

  • Can someone from adobe email me?

    You're is a public forum and we're just Adobe users like you. It's VERY unsafe to post your email address here, but if you'll kindly tell us what's the specific issue you're having, we'll do our best to help you fix it.

  • Can someone from Apple confirm sync issue.....

    Q. Can someone from Apple please confirm that they are aware of some sync issues that is causing itunes 9.2.0.61 to crash???
    Q. Can we expect a new version of Itunes any time soon?
    I have iTunes running on a windows 7 machine & two ipod touches (Both 3G running the power draining IOS4). My ipod touch Sync's OK however my partner (who uses the same computer and software) has Itunes 'stop & quit' when trying to sync her music. The program quits out at the same point when it reaches the same music track. I did start removing the tracks that has the problem but it was getting to the point that I was removing a lot of stuff - stuff that plays OK in the iTunes software and previously sync'ed OK with the old software.
    The most annoying thing is that Apple (as far as I have seen) isn’t even acknowledging any kind of problem. The same could be said of the ridiculous battery consumption under IOS4.

    I find it quite bizarre that Apple affiliate themselves to a support forum and then have nothing to do with it? Everyone who logs into this support website does so with their Apple I.D, so why the he'll does this forum even exist if Apple have no technical input or can't be bothered to confirm or deny that they are aware of a problem. It's lazy and poor customer support....
    Well, Apple's affiliated with it because it's their site, and about their products. That doesn't necessarily mean that they have to be a part of User Discussions. (after all, at least they aren't false advertising right?)
    I mean think about it, Facebook is affiliated with your Facebook profile right? Does that mean that the Facebook owners are going to meddle with your personal affairs? Probably not.
    I wouldn't consider these forums as CUSTOMER support, more as PEER support. Apple provides customer support other ways, by FAQs, Apple Stores, and Contacting Them. I'm not saying one way whether Apple is good or bad with this, I am simply stating they offer other customer support options.

  • Can someone from BT explain price increases?

    Can someone from BT explain the price increases?
    Yes I know about the VAT going up to 20% but from £6.99 to £7.20, VAT increase on £6.99 rounded up is 0.18p, so where does the extra increas come from? Also why werent we informed of extra increases on top of the VAT increase?

    Whooa! Price increases? What price increases?
    Listen,
    And I do know what I'm talking about here...
    No company can increase it's prices without first informing it's customers of the increase.
    And giving them a very advanced amount of notice (usually 3 mths).
    You know why?
    Because it's illegal.
    I've not had a letter informing me of an increase in prices. Or an email.
    You see folks,
    When you sign-up for a service, you enter into a contract with the service provider. They agree to provide you with ABC for cost XYZ.
    But, this is a two way street. They also enter into a contract with you.
    To provide you with ABC for cost XYZ. And they cannot change the terms and conditions of this agreement during the length of your current contract.
    Including costs, unless they give you written notice of the increase and also allow you the right to cancel, because of the change in the terms and conditions.
    An example  -
    Sky
    (and I'm not having a go at Sky, it's just the most relavent instance to this case) -
    Sky charge a fee for viewing HD.
    And if you paid it, you could access ALL HD CHANNELS, irregardless of the channels/viewing packs you had in SD (except premium, like sports and movies).
    Then last year, Sky changed it, to you could only view the HD channels you subscribed to in SD.
    AND they got BATTERED by complaints from people in mid-contract.
    And, If people complained vociferously enough, They got their HD channels back. ALL of them.
    Because their not allowed to do it.
    As govenanced by English contract law. 
    (Oh, before you ask, no, it doesn't matter if you live outside of England, but within the UK, it still applies, as BT use English contract law for their terms and conditions).
    Rank - Mostly Harmless.

    Have you tried copying it to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases and seeing if it plays ok on your computer ? If it does then try deleting it from your iPad and then sync it back and see if it then plays. If not then you could use the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1933

    Why am I having trouble loading apps and updates on my iPad? I have closed out all my apps and rest my iPad but still no luck. Can someone help me please?

    Try a reset, press and hold both the home and power buttons for 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till your iPad starts on it's own.
