i tried to change the preferences but don't know how…pls help

artichie,
And ou may consider whether you are haunted by the Align to Pixel Grid ghost.
If so, you may select everything and then untick Align to Pixel Grid in the Transform pallete, and also untick Align New Objects to Pixel Grid in the flyout options.
You may avoid document types with that as default (RGB for web and the like) or change the default for such documents.

Changing the pen tool cursor from a cross back to normal

Dear Illustrator users,
I have managed to change the Pen cursor to a cross when I select it and begin to work. Please could someone tell me how you change the cursor/cross back to looking like a Pen.
Much appreciated
Ben

The pen tool will become a pen tool with a plus sign if you hover it over a path at a point where there is no anchor point.
If you hover it over an anchor point it becomes a pen tool with a minus sign.
If for some reason the settigs hav become corrut I guess it might cause this.
Quit Illustrator and while launching Illustrator hold the command>Option>Shift Keys all at the same time to reset the prefrences.
On the PC that would be Control>Alt>Shift. You start the Launch and immediately hold these keys down do not wait or it doesn't work.
When you either get a dialog asking if you want to reset you can let go or just wait until it fully launch.
See if that helps.

Changing the brush cursor

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/WSA62EB5D9-3882-463f-8FA5-A0F472BADCF6a.htm l

RE: Photoshop Cursor (Pointer, Brush Shape, Tool) not changing.
If you already know how to go into the Photoshop>Preferences>Cursors and change the Painting Cursors to your choice (Standard, Precise, Normal Brush Tip, Full-Size Brush Tip etc.) and what you have set (can see in the example window) is NOT showing up on your artwork (canvas, board, workspace, window) then the PROBLEM IS Adobe Photoshop NOT you.
SOLUTION: Quit Photoshop FOREVER (just kidding – I love PS):
1.Quit Photoshop
2. Find a folder called Adobe Photoshop CS4 Settings (or your version of Creative Suite) Mine is in MacintoshHD>UserName (my computer’s name)>Library (NOT the System Library)>Preferences> Adobe Photoshop CS4 Settings (open this folder)
3. Here you will see a file called, “Adobe Photoshop CS4 Prefs.psp” and likely was modified “Today”
4. Delete it, or move it to desktop (elsewhere) IT IS CORRUPTED
5. Relaunch Photoshop and this file will recreate itself back to the default settings (Sorry your Recent items list will also go back to default)
6. Open the document you were working on (you saved it?)
7. Within Adobe PS go file, Photoshop>Preferences>Cursor and your OK will actually work.
By The Way:
Preferences Files are used by most applications (MS Word/Excel/PowerPoint; Adobe Illustrator/SoundBooth; Web Browsers etc.) They record your personal choices on how to interact/interface with the app. They get corrupted – they just do . . . when you delete one and relaunch, the application creates a NEW Preferences File with the default setting and the “its not changing” problem fixes itself but you will lose all your preferred settings (having to reset them all over again). Still, this is better than not being able to change things - cause that creates, “User Madness”.

How do I change the pen pressure in Adobe Elements 11?

I bought Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 in the hopes that I could finally start to draw and color lineart, but I don't know if it's an old and/or atypical version or what, cause I've tried like four or five different tutorials on how to change the pen pressure so that the thickness of the line you draw depends on how hard you push the pen. In all of these tutorials however, I only get as far as to the third or fourth step before they tell me to click an option I don't have. Now I hope that I just haven't found the right tutorial yet or pen pressure can't be modated in Elements 11??

In the pse 11 editor in Expert mode with the Brush Tool selected, click on Tool Options
and then click on Tablet Settings and select, for example, Size

Changing the Text Cursor for all Text Components

Hi,
The users have asked me to change the text cursor i.e, the vertical cursor for all the text components in our application.
Is there a common way to change it , without having to call the setCaret method for each of the text components ?
I saw that Cursor class has a Cursor type called TEXT_CURSOR. I'd like to be able to change that cursor.
Any ideas, suggestions?
Thanks!

I was talking about the blinking vertical caret - sorry I got confused between the I-beam cursor and the caret(!).
I wanted to change the caret color at the very least.
Although preferably, I would like to make it a bit wider.
I just found one solution to change the caret color across all the textfields using UIManager -
    Color caretColor = Color.GREEN;
    UIManager.put( "TextField.caretForeground", caretColor);
    UIManager.put( "FormattedTextField.caretForeground", caretColor);
    UIManager.put( "TextArea.caretForeground", caretColor);
    UIManager.put( "PasswordField.caretForeground", caretColor);Thanks

How can I change the tool cursor from a gun sight to a circle?

Usually the tool cursor is a circle the size the tool is set to, that is, it will be 60 pixels in diameter when the tool size is set to 60 pixels. Sometimes, the tool cursor changes to a gun sight-like icon. I have no idea what I'm doing to cause that, but I'd like to know in order to 1) stop doing it, and 2) maintain my sanity. One problem is that I don't even know what to call it in order to research it. I'd be grateful for any help.

Right you are, R_Kelly. Thanks, that did the trick. Ukgaurav also pointed out some choices in the Displays and Cursors Preferences with which I fine-tuned the tool cursor appearance.

How to change the mouse cursor icon type when mouse moves out of client area ( propertysheet) WTL?

I got stuck with an issue in property sheet .I want to load different cursor when the mouse position is within the client area and load another when moves out of the client area.
In the porpetysheet I added four page. In the first page when I click next I am loading cursor of IDC_WAIT type and loading IDC_ARROW when the mouse moves out of the client area.
In the page class I triggered the event for WM_MOUSEMOVE as follow:
MESSAGE_HANDLER(WM_MOUSEMOVE, OnMouseMove)
LRESULT OnMouseMove(UINT /*uMsg*/, WPARAM /*wParam*/, LPARAM /*lParam*/, BOOL& /*bHandled*/)
if(TRUE == m_bIsNextBtnClicked)
::SetCursor(LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_WAIT));
else
::SetCursor(LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW));
return TRUE;
This event is getting triggered and absolutely had no issue with this. Similarly I tried adding `MESSAGE_HANDLER(WM_MOUSELEAVE, OnMouseLeave)` this event making an assumption that this will get triggered if the mouse moves out of the client area, but
this event did not get triggered at all.If this is not the mouse event to be triggered for mouseleave which event should I trigger?
LRESULT OnMouseLeave(UINT /*uMsg*/, WPARAM /*wParam*/, LPARAM /*lParam*/, BOOL& /*bHandled*/)
::SetCursor(LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW));
return TRUE;
Now when I click Next button , **I was actually calling a function which is taking sometime to return** . Before to this function I am loading IDC_WAIT cursor i.e.,
`::SetCursor(LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_WAIT));` .
Now when move the mouse cursor on to the non-client area I want to load IDC_ARROW cursor i.e.,
::SetCursor(LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW));
When the moves on to the non-client area I am handling the mouse event in sheet derived class as follows,
MESSAGE_HANDLER(WM_NCMOUSEMOVE, OnNCMouseMove)
LRESULT OnNCMouseMove(UINT /*uMsg*/, WPARAM /*wParam*/, LPARAM /*lParam*/, BOOL& /*bHandled*/)
::SetCursor(LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW));
return 0;
This event is not getting triggered until unless the function in the Next button event is executed.
I want both of them to be done in parallel i.e, click Next button now hover mouse on the client area, Busy icon should come and when mouse moves out of the client area then IDC_ARROW icon should come.
LRESULT OnWizardNext()
::SetCursor(LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_WAIT));
m_bIsNextBtnIsClicked = TRUE;
BOOL bRet = MyFun();
m_bIsNextBtnIsClicked = FALSE;
//Until this function(MyFun()) is executed **WM_NCMOUSEMOVE**
//event is not getting triggered.But this event should get triggered and I
//should be able to see the change of cursor within and out of client area.
Can anyone kindly help me to solve this issue.

Changing the Software Update preference file to change the Scheduled Check

Hi All,
I have 500 users and an XServe which I use to push out the software updates.
I've changed the plist file to point at the server, but I am now thinking as some users haven't got auto check, some have, is there a way to edit the preference to force the OS to check for updates.
I dont fancy going round every Mac to check manually, I'd prefer just to push out a plist file through ARD,
Any thoughts
Alan

Hi,
Most of that is in...
/Users/TheirUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.scheduler.plist
But how to do it is in...
/Users/TheirUserName/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.0009383bd427.plist
Bold part changed for obscurity, and will be likely different for every user... seems to contain shortname, but 12 digits always it seems.

After installing Mavericks on my MacBook Pro 2009 (japanese keyboard) the layout doesn't work. I mean if I press the @ button the è symbol comes out. I tried to change the layout in Preferences but doesn't work. Could anyone help me please?

Hi there
after installing Mavericks on my macbookpro 2009 (Japanese keyboards) the layout doesn't work anymore. I mean, if I press the "@" button the "è" symbol comes out. I did already change the layout in the Preferences but it didn't work.
Could anyone help me please?

Apple has changed the way Kotoeri keyboard layouts work. You should be able to get normal behavior if you activate the US layout and switch to that just before using Kotoeri. Here is also an Apple note on the topic with another suggestion:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5284
Be sure to tell Apple you want this changed back to the way if was in 10.8 and earlier via
http://www.apple.com/feedback
If you know Japanese well, you might ask on the Japanese discussions whether someone has found a better fix for this:

How can I change the default cookie-preference dialog-button to "allow for session" instead of "allow?"

When the cookie preference is set to "ask every time" the default button (highlighted & selected when I hit return or enter) is "allow." Can I change the default button to "allow for session" so I don't have to use the mouse to select it?

Here's the cookie preference dialog box (click picture below)

Just downloaded apps; Now I can't change the prefs. "Preferences" is greyed out.

That about says it. I just started a new install of Photoshop 6 from the cloud and I don't like the dark grey background, so I try to set the preferences. I can't, because the Menu item is greyed out. Wassup?

What is your Operating system ?
Can you provide the screen shot of the Photoshop application ?
