CS3 Distribute problem (only moving right-most object).

I am having a problem with the Distribute option using a set distance. In today's example, I have an image and a caption. The image is locked in place. If I place the caption to the right of the image, I can use the Distribute option to set the space between the objects at .25". If the caption is to the left of the image, the Distribute button does nothing. This is the case with all (20+) of the images and captions throughout this document, and at least one coworker in my office is seeing the same result. The other alignment buttons do work -- I can align the caption to any edge of the image that I want.
If I unlock the image, the image will move to .25" spacing from the caption if it's to the right of the caption. (Not what I want.) I can come up with work-arounds to this, but I'd rather know if there's something I'm missing here.
Thanks.

I can't get the Distribute buttons on the Control Panel to work at all. Yet it works fine with the Align Panel.
Sounds like bug - acts like a bug.
I'm sure there's a twisted logic to the behaviour.

Problem in moving Rotated Shape object

Hi All,
I want to move the rotated shape object based on the mouse movement
m able to move the object which is not rotated, but m facing the problem when i move the rotated object its moving position is not correct . I am expecting to maintain both shape objects movement is same, i mean if i did mouse movement to right rotated object moves upwards and normal object moves towards right insted of moving both r moving towards to right.
Pls help me
the following code is m using to moving the object
The one which in red color is not rotated and the one which is in black color has rotated.

In Keynote '09 distribute objects horizontally/vertically is distributing objects beyond the slide. How do I make the left-most and right-most objects the limit of the distribution?

I used to have the option of distributing objects so that they would overlap, but the current "distribute" tool is functioning as if overlapping isn't allowed. The result is that the objects move beyond the limits of the slide. Any suggestions?

I know that's what *should* happen, but it just doesn't. I've made screen-grabs of the entire process:
Like I said, this use to work just as you've described it. Is there a box I accidentally selected? I just really don't understand why the tool has changed the way it functions...

Safari is not keeping me logged into websites. Problem only began after most recent update (Yosemite 10.10 and Safari 8)

Since updating to Yosemite 10.10 and Safari 8, Safari has not worked properly. Safari used to automatically log me in to websites like amazon.com, Facebook, google, etc. I would click on the bookmark, and I could immediately start browsing. Now, I need to click the link, then click the username box, click on my username which autofills, and then login. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Alright, well again I was able to resolve this on my own. Not sure how though.
I started accepting the "Do you want to store this password..." requests and they started to stick finally. Facebook stays logged in now, even after quitting Safari. I've just upgraded to 10.5.8 and Safari 4.03, everything seems to be fine (knock wood). Marking this SOLVED for now.

Problem at EPS when duplicate object w/ gradient

Hey, check that: In Illustrator CS5 I drew a square, applied gradient, duplicate and rotate it. Then I saved as EPS (Illustrator 8) and open in Corel. There is an error as the fill (gradient) had not been duplicated and rotated along with the path of the object.
Illustrator CS5
EPS Illustrator 8 open at Corel
I know i can expand gradient into steps or mesh but what puzzles me is that recently bought a file at iStockphoto whose gradient is not converted into steps or mesh and it works!
Open the file purchased with the element gradient and repeat the same process as described above. When I open it at Corel, the gradient is duplicated and rotated.
I thank the attention of anyone who can help me with the solution or suggestions.

In the market I work, most people uses Corel. And as I have intent to distribute my design, I need to generate a file that is mostly compatible with other editors.
The problem about expanding gradient into objects is that I dont like the idea of dividing the gradient into hundreds of objects. The gradient mesh uses Clipping Path while the file I bought from iStockphoto is a path (apparently) common.
I am looking for the solution to create linear gradients compatible with other editors without having to divide the shape into pieces or use Clipping Path. As i saw it's possible, I intend to find out how

PREMIER CS3 - Eyedropper Tool ONLY Sees BLUE

When I am Chroma or Colour Keying in Premier CS3 the eyedropper only sees BLUE, whereas last week it saw EVERYTHING that I would touch it to.
I was told to buy CS4 but that's not an option for me yet.
How do I get it to see the colours I am touching with it again?
Xin

My Replies will be in BOLD
Thanks for the info.
Now, some observations, followed by a few more questions:
My question - 1.) when you click the eyedropper, does the cursor change to the eyedropper symbol?
+++ The cursor changes to the EYEDROPPER as soon as I mouse-over the actual eyedropper icon. As soon as I click it, the colour in the box becomes an off blue-purple, and no matter what colour (with the exception of white) that I click on, the blue-purple colour remains as the selected colour. This does NOT happen in After Effects when I use chroma key there.
This is odd behavior. When working with the Chroma Key Effect (my example), I start with a color swatch and the Eyedropper button/icon. Hovering over it will do nothing, until I click on that button/icon. That is when the cursor changes to the Eyedropper symbol - not before I click. Something is odd here.
Could there be an Automatic/Options filter that is turned on that I don't know about?
My question - 3.) what are the other settings in the Chroma Key box in the Effects Control Panel?
+++In order the options in Chroma Key are:
Colour - has the colour box and eyedropper icon
Similarity
Blend
Threshold
Cutoff
Smoothing with an options drop down box
Mask Only with a check box.
My settings are:
Color with the swatch and Eyedropper button/icon
Similarity 0.0%
Blend 0.0%
Threshold 0.0%
Cutoff 0.0%
Smoothing None
Mask Only unchecked
Can you try those settings as a test? You can change them back after the test.
I have shot video of this for you, I will convert it and sent it off. Can you view MPEG 2 files?
You'd most likely know if you had a Matrox Video/Capture card. We can probably rule that one out.
You should not need to upgrade to CS4, unless some of its features would be worth it. I'm testing this with PrPro 2.0 on my laptop, so you should get almost everything that I do. You should also NOT need to go to Photoshop for this. Something is odd, as mentioned above.
I have no interest in moving to 4 (dollars and cents are an issue).
Now, most of these questions mainly come from my years with PS, and might have nothing to do with PrPro. Still, these were things that could mess up the Eyedropper in PS.
Do you have Cap Locks ON, or OFF?
Tried both
Do you have a MS InteliPoint mouse driver?
No, Logitech Mouse Here
Are you running Window Blinds?
No
What happens if you Ctrl-click on the Eyedropper button/icon?
The colour becomes about 1/3 the darkness it would normally be - but only sometimes
What happens if you Alt-click on the Eyedropper button/icon?
It detects grays only
What happens if you Shift-click on the Eyedropper button/icon?
It sees gray and white but wont change the blue colour
What is the exact version of CS3 that you're running. Tip: Help>About and look to the middle-left of the splash screen for some black text with something like CS3.0.2.

How to make a only one spectified type object running at the same time ?

I want to run specified function with java program in unix,AIX environment.But i want only one specified type object can run at this time when i make command "java xxx &" several times at this time.I had used thread but it can not work. I think there are two processes for system so it can not work. Which class or way in java can i use for this problem ? or I use thread in the wrong way.
please help me . thank you everybody !!!
ps:the command "java xxx &" mentioned above,xxx is name of java program ,
& means command run in background.

RMI is a good option you can think of. There is one registry and only one object can be bound to it with a specified name. But if your application is large, RMI calls can really slow down your application.
Another option is to use Sockets. When you load the application check if you can start a server socket on a particular port. If you can, then start the program. If not, another application is already running. So exit your program. The socket you have created will be used only to bind to a particular port. In any system, there can be only one socket bound to a port and this guarantees the single instance running. When your application closes, close the socket too.

Ps CS6 Problem: Transform applied to Smart Object fails to transform an attached Smart Filters Mask

Ps CS6
OSX 10.6.8
Problem: Transform applied to Smart Object fails to transform an attached Smart Filters Mask.
I mean a Transform, including Free Transform, as found in the Edit menu. A simple move by the Move Tool is OK.
A workaround until this bug is squashed is to encapsulate the Smart Object + Smart Filters + Filter Mask inside another Smart Object and transform that.
However, that will not be a satisfactory solution in some cases. If a filter has size parameter(s), e.g. Gaussian Blur radius, a scaling or warping/distorting transform applied after the filter will obviously differ from the filter applied after the transform.
In any case, the workaround is inconvenient to subsequent editing and experimenting with filters and masks.

I don't think that's a bug since the implementation seems to be purposely done.
It's been that way since photoshop cs3.
If its been like that since CS3 then I think it's a bug which remains because nobody (or not enough people) has complained before.

Can open a site from bookmarks only by right-clicking and "open in a new tab". Whan's wrong?

Hi.
After some regular updates I can open a site from bookmarks only by right-clicking on it and "open in a new tab". Have this problem also on my PC and a notebook. (Win 7 & Win 8). Didn't add any new add-ons lately, seems like they all work well.
My Mozilla Firefox is ver 31.0
How this problem can be fixed?
Thank you.

hello, the easiest way to find out if the problem might be caused by an interfering addon is to launch firefox in safe mode once...

Cs3 framescript problem vista

hi,
i've got cs3 design premium running on 32 bit vista and i'm
having a number of issues with flash and particularly actionscript
framescripts. when i create the script on the first frame of the
timeline and try to type, the line-number column becomes
highlighted and i'm unable to type anything. also, when i try to
edit framescripts, the entire block is highlighted when i click on
it and again i can do nothing.
lastly, my scrollwheel jumps erratically when i move upwards,
though thats more of an annoyance than a serious issue.
i've found i can type normally into an external actionscript
file, and that the framescript issue is present in both a 2.0 and
3.0 flash document.
the scrollwheel glitch is only present in flash, no other cs3
app, and only an issue on the stage.
please tell me if i need to provide more info, or if i'm just
being plain thick. i really don't want to have to chuck the blasted
thing out the window, but its coming to that.
many thanks in advance,
adam

my system:
2gb ddr2 ram, intel dual 6600 cpu, nvidia 8800gts graphics w.
640mb gpu, running vista home premium. all hardware/software has
most recent patches, drivers and updates, with a fresh check today.
single screen, 19" dell p991.
tried cycling through views with no success. also tried
running cs3 as backwards-compatible w. xp, in full administrator
mode, and i'm just about to try safe mode to see if there's any
resolution that way
cheers for your help, i'll post again after reboot.

Under APPLE MENU system preferences only opens sporadically, mostly not

Under APPLE MENU system preferences only opens sporadically, mostly not. I booted up with installation disk and ran a check but everything was alright. However, when I tried to click on items using the disk as a startup disk it frequently wouldn't function.

George,
Thanks for asking that question.
I offered this solution based upon similar successful advice which was given to another poster who solved this problem:Long story short I ended up reinstalling Mac OS X using Archive and Install. When I first used the computer following reinstalling Mac OS X, I was able to access the System Preferences by selecting them under the Apple in the menu bar. However, I have now updated my software using Software Update, and now I can't access System Preferences when I click on them under the Apple in the menu. The computer just acts like I never selected System Preferences.
Where have System Preferences gone??? provides another example of Previous Systems folder interfering with System Preferences.
Applications don't work after reinstalling Mac OS X explains a different problem with a Previous Systems folder: Example 1: You downgrade by performing an Archive and Install installation, but do not update to a later version of Mac OS X. The Previous Systems folder contains later versions of applications that may contribute to this issue.If you have proper backups, I recommend trashing the Previous Systems folder as soon as you can determine that the new system is functioning properly. The Previous Systems folders will either take up too much space or contribute to unexplained system problems.

Video control works only with right click

I published a podcast in my iweb website.
One of the videos has been published, but the play button works only by right clicking, instead of normal left click...
Other videos work well....
I Just tried to delete, rebuild and publish again the page, but nothing changed...
Does anybody know how to solve my issue?
Thank you
AZ

Since you do not provide useful information so I can check it, I have to guess :
Is an image or object blocking the video? Or is the video below the bodylayer and in the footer area?
In a browser window, do Command-A to select everything on a page.
In iWeb do Command-Shift-L to see the outline of the page and it's object.
Study everything very carefully to see what's hiding.
