Creating a gradient then setting transparency to lighten doesn't work

Hi folks, i'm trying to create a gradient overlay that is set to 'lighten' in the transparency palette but for some reason it creates a total white result?
To, visually at any rate, get the desired effect the only setting that seems to work is overlay but that's not what i want really.
It seems to work fine with 'multiply' the gradient's dark area multiply the background object.
Any ideas??
Thanks

Really? I got 16 hits. Here's the 2nd:
To create opacity masks
To create a mask from an existing object, select at least two objects or groups, and choose Make Opacity Mask from the Transparency palette menu. The topmost selected object or group is used as the mask.
To create an empty mask, select a single object or group, or target a layer in the Layers palette. Then double-click directly to the right of the thumbnail in the Transparency palette. If the thumbnail isnt visible, choose Show Thumbnails from the palette menu. An empty mask is created and Illustrator automatically enters mask-editing mode. Use the drawing tools to draw a mask shape. Click the artwork thumbnail (left thumbnail) in the Transparency palette to exit mask-editing mode.
Note: The Clip option sets the mask background to black. Therefore, black objects, such as black type, used to create an opacity mask with the Clip option selected will not be visible. To see the objects, use a different color or deselect the Clip option.

On your iPhone you need to change your password in 2 places:
- Incoming Mail Server and
- Outgoing Mail Server
To get to the password entry for the Outgoing Mail Server you have to tap on cell smtp.live.com and again on the second view.

Web gallery built in Bridge, then linked from DW site, doesn't work

Hi,
Using the "web gallery" function in Adobe Bridge CS5, I created an HTML-based web gallery and uploaded it directly from Bridge to here on the web:
http://www.sws-steel.com/test2/SouthwestSteel/
I can view this in Safari 5.0.5 on my Mac, but it's a blank white page in Firefox and in Chrome. Even worse, my client gets a blank page in every Windows-based browser.
If I can get it to work at all, my intent is to add it within a frame on this page:
http://www.sws-steel.com/temp/photos.html
Again, it seems to work in Safari (but only after a refresh on an iPad), but doesn't work anywhere else.
The web gallery function in Bridge would be ideal to use for this gallery, but it just doesn't work and I have no idea how to fix it. Any help or insights on what's wrong would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kent Bingham

Missing DOCTYPE declaration for starters:
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_doctype.asp
without that the browsers do not know which set of rules to apply when displaying the page. Correct that then...
Validate the page here:

Then come back here and we will look for problems. But very hard to correct anything until you get the foundation right.

don't forget to revalidate the JPanel after changing the components it holds:
    jtfColumnSize.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
      // Handle event
      public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
        System.out.println(Integer.parseInt(jtfColumnSize.getText()));
        jtfUserText.setColumns(Integer.parseInt(jtfColumnSize.getText()));
        jpText.revalidate();
    });This will tell the jpText JPanel's layout manager to relayout the components that this JPanel holds. It should resize your JTextField. Note that in order to call this from within the anonymous inner ActionListener jpText will need to be declared "final". Either that or declared as a class field.

Syntax high lightening doesn`t work anymore

Hello,
since yesterday the syntax high lightening function of DW MX
2004 doesn`t work anymore.
The whole source code is in black, as well in html as in php
documents.
The settings are not changed and show the high lighting as
usual.
Any Ideas?

Stolen from another participants comments and it worked. My solution was to connect AirPort Express via Ethernet.
Welcome to the discussions!
If you reset the Extreme back to factory defaults and reconfigured it, you will need to do the same for the Express.
Plug the Express into power and hold in the tiny reset button until the amber light begins to blink rapidly.
Open AirPort Utility to reconfigure your Express to "extend" the network created by the Extreme. If Airport Utility can't "find" the Express, temporarily connect an ethernet cable from the Express to your computer.
You may find it a bit easier to use the Manual Setup option on the Express since you already know how your Extreme is configured and you will use many of the same settings.

Creating a keyboard shortcut for Calendar's Export- doesn't work

I created a keyboard shortcut in Calendar to easily export calendars (let say option-ctrl-E).
When I launch Calendar the shortcut doesn't work. But after I opened the File Menu, then the Export sub-menu, the shortcut DO work as expected.
As I need this for an Applescript (there is still no Export… command in Calendar's dictionnary!), it's quite annoying.
Interestingly, I don't have the same problem when I create a shortcut for "Calendar Archive…".
I know I can of course use GUI scripting in AppleScript, but it's quite annoying.
Any idea?
p

Does it continue to fail on a restart of the app?
I can offer a workaround:
If you need to automate creating a Calendar Archive, just copy all the .caldav, .calendar, and .group folders, allong with Attachments from ~/Library/Calendars/ into a folder called Calendar. Package it up in a folder with a .icbu file extension and add an info.plist file to that folder with the following information:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
          <key>date</key>
          <date>2013-03-07T01:08:00Z</date>
          <key>version</key>
          <string>2.0</string>
</dict>
</plist>
Right-click on a Calendar archive and choose "Show package contents" and you'll see what I am describing.

How can I remove print margins when manually setting them to zero doesn't work?

I'm trying to print a web page that I've created with a custom paper size of 4.5x10.25 inches. I want the page to be printed right to the edge of the paper, with no margins at all.
I've been reading for a few days and the best thing I can find is to use Mac's Page Setup dialog to create a custom paper size and custom margins, which I've done and set to the default for all of my printers. (Hopefully I'm able to post links to images --> http://i.imgur.com/kVbOZLk.png). No matter what I do though I can't get the margins to go away. There's always always always a .75 inch margin when I print and when I print preview (Again, hoping I can post links to images --> http://i.imgur.com/cxlVS8o.png). Just to note: The same thing happens printing other websites and documents (i.e it is not a problem with my website).
Things I've tried:
I've read that the margins are only visible in print preview and printing the page will remove them. This didn't work.
I've tried tricking the system by setting my margins to 0.01 inches
I've tried adjusting the website to not be exactly the size of the page (I made it smaller) and the margins were still there.
I've set "print.print_extra_margin" to 0 in Firefox's about:config page.
I've tried a different printer.
I've tried a co-worker's machine running a newer version of OSX.
I've made absolutely sure that my page size it set correctly.
I'm using OSX 10.6.8 with Firefox v21.0.
The closest I can come to this is using Google Chrome, where there is a specific option for "none" in margins and the Chrome preview looks okay, but I'm not able to specify paper size unless I click "Print using system dialog" which gives me the same problems as above.
How do I remove the margins and just fit to the exact size of the page?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We're all users here.
Does your Print dialog offer photo 'borderless printing' settings for various paper sizes?
Every photo printer I've ever encountered leaves some unprintable margin, unless 'borderless' and/or 'photo' media are specifically selected.
On many of the Canon inkjet color printers I've used, borderless printing is only available when one of the photo papers is selected, even when a custom size specified that is smaller than the actual paper, trying to make it 'borderless'
I stitch together and print panoramas of theatre sets for my local community theater, so I end up with an image about 4.5 inches by 11.5 inches to be printed.
Selecting a photo and opening in Preview and selecting 'Fill Entire Paper' illustrates the standard unprintable borders for my specific printer.
When I open the panoramic image in Preview, I get this print preview. (The set image is of course rotated left)
By selecting Letter and Borderless in the Paper Size dialog for my Canon MG5320 printer, I get this result.
This particular Canon printer of course does NOT actually 'know' what paper is inserted, but the ink is applied assuming that a photo paper is being used, so it will saturate a standard paper.
Hope this helps!

Calling a dll created with vision 7.0 from visual basic doesn't work

I created a dll using some vision 7.0 functions and Labview 7.0 environment. I call this dll from visual basic. The dll will work fine as long as I don't stop the visual basic program execution. As soon as I stop the program execution the dll will no longer work. I must reload the visual basic environment and the call to the dll will start working again. I created the exact same dll but I created it with vision 6.0 in Labview 6i environment. It works great and has no issues.

Thank you Jordan, I'm using Labview 7.1.
Anyway I've resolved the problem by adding the "lvanlys.dll" file (present in "..\Labview 7.1\resource\lvanlys.dll" path) as support file in the building process. Now the DLL containing the analysis functions works correctly.
Natalino Roberto
Ok, you probably got lucky since the lvanlys.dll seems to implement that function directly. However most Advanced Analysis functions are just redirected by lvanlys.dll to the Intel Math Kerneal Library that gets installed with LabVIEW 7.1 and higher. The only way to get that properly installed with your LabVIEW executable or DLL is to create a LabVIEW installer in your Application Builder and make sure to select under "Installer Settings->Advanced" the "LabVIEW Run-Time Engine" and the "Analyze VIs Support". Then use that installer to install your DLL on another computer.

Set Time Zone automatically doesn't work?

Just returned from a trip to Greece (back home now in Phoenix). Noticed that even connected to wifi in different locations, when "set time zone automatically" was clicked on in general settings, time displayed on iPad seemed stuck in EST. (I made a stop in Philly on way to trip, not sure if that has to do with anything.)
If i click "set time zone automatically" to off, for some reason my iPad defaults to Washington DC, even though in all my calendar/email settings i have Phoenix set as local time zone. I can change Washington DC to Phoenix and correct time displays on iPad. Just wondering why i can't set it automatically to display correct local time?
Thanks for any suggestions....

Ok thanks. Yeah, I ended up using the World Clocks.
Where it gets interested is, iCal. If you're in a foreign country that's, say, 4 hours ahead, and you add iCal entries to your Calendar while you're out there, should those entries reflect the local time or the home time?
Also, if you're set the Alarm to wake you up at 8:00am, and you're away on holiday, surely it will go off at home time, not local time, thus going off at the WRONG time.

Create PDF report with APEX and Oracle 11g doesn't work

Setting environment variables remotely doesn't work for Windows 7

Hi,
$RemoteMachineList = 'machA', 'machB'
$session = New-PSSession $RemoteMachineList
Invoke-Command -Session $session {[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("Role",0,"Machine")}
The above is the code snippet which I've tried for setting a machine level environment variable. After executing this code in a collection of XP and Windows 7 machines, when I go and check the advanced settings->system environment variables, I can see
the new entry "Role" in all the machines. But unfortunately, this env variables actually gets set only in XP machines(I did a set command from a cmd prompt/or an echo command) whereas in Windows 7 machines, this doesn't exists even though it
shows up in the advanced settings->system environment variables.
Tried in several machines, only Windows XP is yielding the required result.
Please help.
Thanks in advance !
-Aravind

Thanks Chen, but still the same result.
I'll narrow down the scenario(actually two scenarios) as per the way it's behaving on Windows 7 machines.
Case - 1
1. I do a SetEnvironmentVariable remotely.
2. I go to that remote machine and search in advanced settings -> system env variables window. Dont click on the OK Button. Close these windows.
Result: Yes it is there as an entry.
3. I open up a command prompt and type 'set'
Result: No it is not set.
4. Again open up advanced settings -> system env variables window. Click on the OK Button. Close these windows.
5. Now open up a command prompt window and type 'set'
Result: It is set now
Case 2:
1. I do a SetEnvironmentVariable remotely.
2. I go to that remote machine and search in advanced settings -> system env variables window. Dont click on the OK Button. Close these windows.
Result: Yes it is there as an entry.
3. I open up a command prompt and type 'set'
Result: No it is not set.
4. I do a system restart.
5. Open up a command prompt and type 'set'
Result: It is set now
Any idea why this is behaving like this(more or less like setting a user level env variable), please ? I've to some way get through this obstacle to advance further. Thanks a lot for the support
