Can't select items, keeps showing paths and anchor points

All of a sudden when I roll over a selection the cursor displays anchor points and paths only. Any ideas?

Perhaps you have Smart Guides turned on.
Try Cmd+U to turn them off, and see how it goes.

Disappearing paths and anchor points

Using a MacBook Pro with Adobe CS3, the anchor points and drawing lines have disappeared from both the outline and art views. The lines are still visible, but none of the anchor points can be seen to edit the lines. How do I make them visible again?

Thank you that worked. I am not sure how this happened as it is a complex geologic map that I was not looking forward to redoing for publication.

Path with anchor points and bezier control handles

I have a text, not converted to outline. Live text.
I am using IllCS4.
That is cool thing about hovering the cursor above the text and see hidden path and anchor points only when you hovering exactly above them. But I want them be visible permannently, while I am applying some envelop distort changes. Then I want to turn visibility off. And how to get permanent visiblity of bazier control handles at the same time?
I am lost.

Yes, thank you,
that is great thing, but when I use it, I see outlines (like a wireframe) of image only.
Is there any way to see still image as it is and switch on visibility of object' path with all control points?

Can i select which plots show in graph?

Hey guys, I want to know
if I have a graph and I have like 8 plots
can I select which plot show like, in some cases I want to see only 2 plots, in other case I want to see 1 plot only, and other time I want to see all the plots, can I select or make something to make it happens?
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello Gerd,
I found another way than coloring the plot transparent (btw. with better performance for huge data graphs). It has another advance since the graph remembers the original color.
greets, Dave

Can only select items with direct selection tool

I have been working on a design: one layer, with multiple groupings, nothing is locked. I'm trying to select the items with the selection tool, but can only select items with the direct selection tool (which is very inconvenient in this case). I can select the text with the text tool, but that really serves no purpose in my case. Anyone have any ideas as to what's going on? When I was working on it yesterday, everything was fine with all the tools. Thanks in advance.

Imcookin,
It may be a corruption of preferences, or an issue outside Illy.
You may try to close down and just restart, or close down and restart pressing Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cme+Option+Shift, or close down and use the suggestions in Move the folder or, if none of those suggestions help, have a look at the list in Other options

That screen is telling you the iPhone has gone into recovery mode, and you need to use the recovery mode instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 to attach to a computer running iTunes. Summary of instructions:

The 'selected items' color randomly changes and I can't figure out why.

Hi everybody, I recently upgraded to Firefox 13, which appears to be the most stable browser version so far and I really like it. I have loved Firefox very much, having used it since somewhere between versions 2 and 3.
After upgrading to version 13 I noticed something that annoys me quite a bit. This may have been present before but I can't remember and I did not notice until now.
On my computer (Windows 7 x64 Ultimate) I have set the color of the 'selected items' (specifically text) to be lime green text on a slightly off black background. I chose this color scheme because it blends very well with Firefox itself (I have the NASA night launch theme), Windows Explorer, and many web pages that I have changed to a dark theme (using the Stylish browser extension). This color scheme has excellent contrast in areas with black text on a light background, as well as light text on a dark background. It has served me well.
After upgrading to Firefox 13 I have noticed that if the web page is dark with light text, the 'selected items' color changes to lime green text on a light grey background. (Less frequently, it changes instead to off-black text on a lime green background). I have not been able to isolate the threshold where this change occurs (meaning how dark the website background needs to be /how light the text needs to be for this to happen) nor have I found a solution.
This problem sometimes extends even to sites that have dark text on a light background: when tabs are switched, with no input fields clicked and the address bar is not clicked. This very page (Firefox support) is apparently vulnerable as well.
This problem only happens on rendered web pages. Firefox's menus, buttons and toolbars, as well as all other programs and Windows itself, are unaffected.
I want the 'selected items' to remain as I have set it, and not deviate regardless of the apparent contrast or color scheme of the web page being displayed.
[Edit #1]: Interestingly, as I was copying the information from about:support I noticed that it is affected as well.
Any suggestions? Thanks so much, and I am sorry for the long-winded description. tl;dr look at the pictures.

It is always best to avoid making changes to the selected text colors.<br />
Firefox uses an algorithm to check if the contrast is sufficient and will swap text and background colors if that test fails.<br />

Good Morning,
I just did a software update on my phone (finally) last night and now my phone will not come on. It keeps showing the charger pointing up to a blue circle with iTunes inside and will not go any further. Can ANYONE help me please???

The phone is in restore mode and the picture is telling you what to do. Connect the phone, by cable, to iTunes in the computer you normally use for syncing, and retore the phone.

Running Multiple SQL in a Single Worksheet: Can I Selectively Run a Single SQL and Append Output?

In any release of SD, if I have a single worksheet containing 10 sqls. Is it possible to place the cursor on any of the sql and run only that sql, yet, append its output to existing output window. I can then select another sql and execute it and keep appending output. In other words, do not clear existing output or start a new output tab.
As it exists today (in any release), I can either 'run script' which does append, but it executes all the sql (non-selective). Alternately, I can 'run statement' to selectively run a single sql, but it will clear the output window (or if pinned), start a new one. None of this is what I want.
Thank you.

Select the query you want to run. Execute it via F5. Then highlight the next query and repeat.
The output will append to the Script Output panel.
There's no way to get 2 queries to share a grid, unless you were to run them as a single query a la UNION.

Getting selected item from combobox itemrenderer and storing in object

Hi Guys,
Can anyone help me in this regard. Its very urgent.
I have a combo box itemrenderer in datagrid column. I want to get the user selected item from the dropdown of the row(s) (User may select values from combo box from multiple rows of datagrid) and corressponding values of all other columns of the rows and store it in an object . Then pass this object to database to update only those rows that user has changed.
I am able to get the selected item from combo box using "event.currentTarget.selectedItem" and corressponding values of all other columns of the rows using "valueSelect.ID", etc where valueSelect is object which contains data for datagrid. But am stuck up with, how to store the selected item value of the combobox and corressponding values of all other columns of the rows into an Object ?.
Can anybody help me with sample to store selected item from combobox and its corressponding values of all other columns into an object which i can send to db...?
Kindly help me in this regard.
Thanks,
Anand.

Hi!
Are you using a collection of VO or DTO as the dataprovider of the combobox component?
If so, have you created some attribute there to control the user's selection in the combobox?
For instance:
private var selected:Boolean = false;
If your solution fits this approach, you may create a new collection that contains just the objects that were selected by the user, it means you can loop through the datagrid's dataprovider and only insert in this new collection those objects that have the attribute "selected" set to true.
For instance:
private function getSelectedRecords(datagridDataProvider:ArrayCollection):ArrayCollection
    var newCollection:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
    for each (var item:Object in datagridDataProvider)
        if (item.selected)
            newCollection.addItem(item)
    return newCollection;
Afterwards, you may serialize this new collection with your back-end.
Hope it helps you!
Cheers,
@Pablo_Souza

Summary Management - Can't select Items in the End User Layer

I wan't to set up a Summary on a folder but in Summary Wizard Step 2 I can't select From Items in the End User Layer as it's greyed out!
Any ideas?
Suhada

Hi,
Worth checking that the user/responsibility has "Create/Edit Summaries" privilege and that the user/responsibility has "Allow Administration" access to the business areas.
Also check that the database user has CREATE/DROP/ALTER ANY MATERIALIZED VIEW and GLOBAL QUERY REWRITE (see http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B13916_04/mging_sums.htm#i1011476 for full details)

Can't select items on desktop via finder window when another application opens that finder window

When another program (like premier pro, or gmail with chrome) opens a finder window (in order to import files, or make attachments), I am unable to select items on my desktop.
My workaround is to open an independent finder window, add a tag to the file or folder i want to use, then go back to the 'import' window in premier pro, or the attachment window in gmail in chrome, and select the relevant tag in the lefthand column, then select the file or folder in the righthand column. This seems slow and frustrating and unnecessary.
Is there a really obvious thing I'm missing? Please be merciful, Apple Support Community...

Hi Sue, if you can navigate in Finder do this:
navigate to yourhome/library/preferences and trash these two files:
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist (if this exists in 10.2 - not sure)
(You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)
Then log out and back in again. Or restart.
Good luck, let us know.

I changed my apple id and my password for it too. but on my ipod and mac book pro my old apple id keeps showing up and i it doesn't except any password. what should i do??

I NEED HELP!!!!!!
i changed my apple id and my password (for the apple id), but on my ipod and mac book pro my old apple id keeps showing up for icloud, and i cant put either password!!! Trust me i tried.. What should i do???? So please help!!!!!!

On your Mac, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with the ID you want to use.
If you're running iOS 7 on your iPod and old ID is your ID, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
