CS2 - why does my cursor change??

For some reason, sometimes when working in Photoshop CS2 (PC platform) my paintbrush cursor changes. I have it set in preferences to show the brush size and it usually stays that way, but occassionally, it reverts to precise mode so I cannot see the brush size on the screen. The only thing that seems to work is closing PS and restarting it. What a pain.
Has anybody had this problem, and if so, do you have an easy solution?
Thanks,
Lou

Thanks for clearing that up. It was driving me crazy.

Adobe InDesign CS2 - Why does the resolution change when I import a PDF file to InDesgin

When I import a PDF file to InDesgin the resolution from the PDF changes.
Any ideas?

InDesign uses a low resolution thumbnail (might be the wrong way to descirbe, but easiest to visualise) to represent images/files placed into indesign. As InDesign is a page layout program it enhances the speed of the application as it doesn't have to draw the images in full detail, but rather just represent them in their size and position in the layout.
There are 3 viewing settings, available through the View> Display Performance (for the whole document) or Object>Display performance (on an object by object basis).
The resolution of the image from that point on relies on whether it was Vector or Raster, or in PDF and EPS cases, vector and raster. As already mentioned Vectors and PDFs don't contain a resolution. Vectors are mathematical equations that require the device outputting the image to draw them to the best of their abiltiy.
PDFs are a wrapper for a file, it can wrap text, vectors and raster for output.
But all the same, InDesign uses lo-res thumbnails to represent the PDF/Image/Object until ready to output. But you need to adjust the Display Performance.

Why does iCal automatically change the date of the entry i am making to the day before??

why does iCal automatically change the date of the entry i am making to the day before??
for example, when i am attempting to make a 'all-day' appointment on october 2nd 2011, it automatically shifts it to october 1st.
but if i am doing a timed appointment for only a few hours, it will allow me to put it on that day.
i am trying to put in travel dates so any help on how to fix this, would be greatly appreciated.

alsdman,
Quit iCal, and try removing the com.apple.iCal.plist file from your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Since that Library is now hidden, you have to use the Finder>Go Menu>Depress the "Option" key>Library. Drag the .plist file to your desktop, and log out/in or restart and check iCal for functionality.
Also go to System Preferences...>Language & Text>Formats>Region: and set/re-set the appropriate "Region."

Why does all alphabets change to capital when converting pdf to word using Adobe Acrobat XI

Why does all alphabets change to capital when converting pdf to word using Adobe Acrobat XI

Word 2013 uses its own pdf creator engine as far as I know. The step I performed were:
1 - In the save settings I told word to embed fonts (sorry for the language, I have the Italian client)
2 - Export from Word -> Save As -> .pdf adding also the table of contents/index
N.B. I cannot use PDF/A, and in any case it doesn't embed the font
A working solution is to use Acrobat XI to convert it or print with Adobe PDF printer, results:
The problems are 2:
1 - It doesn't create any bookmark and doesn't create links from the table of images to the linked images
2 - Images, also with the preset "High Quality Printing" customized using "No compression", are really ugly and if you zoom a bit more than 100% they totally be s**t. It wasn't that way with PDF created by word.
In the end, or I find they way to open the pdf created by word and embedd the missing font, or I find a way to make Acrobat XI creating bookmarks from the word file.
Suggestion?

Please help.

If that's the only place you used that unique font, yes. Convert the textbox to an image file by applying a drop shadow to the font and setting the opacity of the drop shadow to 5%.

Why does Apple Works change my Excel document to Apple Documents?

Why does Apple Works change my Excel documents to Apple Documents?

It's a nuisance when other users cannot open the file, any ideas?

Why does OS X change the permissions without my intervention?

I work on various documents at home, where I have a Mac. and at work where I have a Windows box. In order to do this, I use Google Drive as my cloud storage to save the documents.
Now when I edit a Word doc in MS Word at Work, then save it to the Google Drive, I am able to open it on my Mac in MS Word for Mac, just fine.
However, when I edit the Word doc on my Mac, and save it to Google Drive, the sytem automatically sets the "everyone" permission to "no access". This is incredbily annoying. I have to go and reset the permission everytime to "Read and Write" in order to edit it the next day at work on my Windows bos.
Why does OS X change the permission of the document when I don't want it to! I want the file to ALWAYS be read and write FOR everyone PERIOD. Yet it seems to have a mind of its own and changes it.
How can this be fixed... this doesn't even make sense!

korkyk --
Could it be that it is a function of Google Drive? I share Word docs with Mac & PC Users all the time with no permissions errors or any other problems. My husband and I share docs all the time between PC and Mac. Again no problem. But we do not put Google Drive in the middle.

Why does Itunes automatically change the genre of my songs?

Why does Itunes automatically change the genre of my songs? I have assigned specifit genres but they're constantly changed without me doing it. ITs annoying. Does anyone know how i can stop this?

welcome to the discussions
you may find that WMP is doing this for you.
There is a setting is WMP that means that it checks the info held in the file (and shown by itunes) against that held at Gracenote and 'updates' the info where there is any disagreement. On my copy its under the 'media library' tab.
Turn this off if its on.

Why does the name change to my dad's name when I use his credit card for downloads?

I have an iPod touch. I have my own apple ID and icloud account. Why does the name change to my dad's name when I use his credit card for downloads? Is there a way I can have my own account and use my dad's card without having his name on my photostream and icloud?
I went on icloud.com and changed my name but it changes the credit card name to mine as well so I can't get apps unless its under his name, but it confuses everyone i share photo streams with, as there are two of my dads?
My aunt is having the same problem with her photostream, so I know its not only me.

I have this problem and it's annoying. Plenty of people in this world do not pay for their own stuff!. So i have 5 kids. All there accounts show as my name when people add them for Photo streams etc etc. This is ridiculous. Why not seperate billing address / credit card details to the name of the person on the account? Why do they have to be the same?

Why does the cursor disappear completely?

The cursor disappears completely from the screen sometimes (I have a microsoft wireless mouse), and it does no good to use the pad either. Sometimes if I close the Mac, go away and come back, the cursor has returned. Other times I have to turn off the mac. Advice?

Because the bottom of the computer is blocking the display.

Why does replace component change refdes

Why does MS change the refdes of a part when the replace component command is used?
Here is an example. Say I have a schematic that has R1-R20 on it. All parts are from the User DB and have part number, vendor info, etc. Later I decided to remove R1. Then I decide to use the replace component on R8 with a different resistor from the user DB. MS now decides to change the RefDes to R1.
It doesn't do it all the time and I haven't been able to isolate when it seems to happen.
This is a major pain when the design has already been exported to UB and routed.
Is this a known bug? Is it considered a bug or a feature? Is there a way to disable this renaming?
Thanks,

GregW ,
Which version are you on? This shouldn't be happening for single section components- if it is it is a bug. For multisection components you should be prompted since an existing portion of the part may already be in use.
In the v10.1 a replace of a single section component does not seem to change the refdes. If it is happening can you send the file directly to me (or at least a representative file tjat shows the issue) so to allow us to reproduce this issue. You can also file a customer support request.
