Disappearing shapes from the palette?

so, i followed, step by step, the ken stone tutorial on making custom shapes - highly recommended set of tutorials on this and other topics - but am having a problem applying them.
that is, i can apply them and save my project.
if i then close the project, dvdsp clears the "custom shapes" palette - even though i did __not select "for this project only" when importing the shapes....
now when i re-open the project, dvdsp will complain about the shape it itself has made disappear and removes the shapes from menu.
re-importing the shape into the "custom shapes" palette triggers another error message about the shape already being there even though the shapes palette is totally empty...
what am i missing here????
thanks

ok, so it's been alomst two weeks and there's not a single reply to this so far...
does this mean that i'm the only one who has this problem is or is there nobody out there re-using or even re-opening projects with custom shapes???
any suggestions as to what could be causeing dvdsp to loose custom shapes used in a project would be much appreciated.
thanks

Disappearing Shapes in the Palette

I've only been using DVDSP for two or three days so apologies if I'm asking an obvious question. But my shapes keep disappearing from my palette every time I reopen my project.
I have several buttons on a menu that I have set up fine with shapes that I created in Photoshop. I import them ok into the Custom tab in the palette from an external hard disc, am fine when i place them as a button and they work great in the simulator. But if I close the project, I'm told that they are missing when I restart it.
The strange thing is though, that when I reimport them, I'm told that shapes of that filename are already in the palette (even though there are no icons visible).
I'm really confused, and a bit wound up by this.
Can anyone help?

Why can't I pull my pattern swatch from the palette to the artboard?

This is a new problem that I have never had before. I want to alter the colors of my pattern. Typically, I pull it from the palette to the artboard, change my colors.. re-select the entire patterns repeat and drag and drop it back into the swatches palette. None of my layers are locked and all are visible. What's the deal? (iMac CS2) (I have loaded up other files with patterns in them and it works just fine!) (I have also quit .AI and reloaded the same file with the same problem.)
Thanks

Drag and Drop Multiple Pictogram elements from the Palette

I have created custom Objects in the palette that can drag and drop individual pictogram elements using a class that extends AbstractAddFeature. What I would like to know if it is possible to drag and drop an item from the palette that contains multiple pictogram elements, such as task1, task2 and a connection between them? I cannot do this with my class from above since
@Override
public PictogramElement add(IAddContext context) {}
only returns one PictogramElement.

Hi,
In my editor I am adding rectangle with associated label that are separate pictogram elements. However they are both linked to the same business object and more linked to each other.
Please look at example from my code:
@Override
public PictogramElement add(IAddContext context) {
final Task addedTask = (Task) context.getNewObject();
final ContainerShape target = context.getTargetContainer();
final IPeCreateService peCreateService = Graphiti.getPeCreateService();
final IGaService gaService = Graphiti.getGaService();
final ContainerShape containerShape = peCreateService.createContainerShape(target, true);
int width = 0;
int height = 0;
width = context.getWidth() <= 0 ? getWidth() : context.getWidth();
height = context.getHeight() <= 0 ? getHeight() : context.getHeight();
final Rectangle invisibleRectangle = gaService.createInvisibleRectangle(containerShape);
gaService.setLocationAndSize(invisibleRectangle, context.getX(), context.getY(), width, height);
// create and set visible rectangle inside invisible rectangle
RoundedRectangle roundedRectangle = gaService.createRoundedRectangle(invisibleRectangle, 20, 20);
roundedRectangle.setParentGraphicsAlgorithm(invisibleRectangle);
roundedRectangle.setStyle(addedTask.isOnlyLocal() ? onlyLocalStyle : getStyle());
if(!addedTask.isAtomic()) roundedRectangle.setLineStyle(LineStyle.DOT);
gaService.setLocationAndSize(roundedRectangle, 0, 0, width, height);
insertInside(peCreateService, gaService, width, height, containerShape, invisibleRectangle, addedTask);
ContainerShape labelShape = addLabel(target, addedTask.getId(), width, height, context.getX(), context.getY());
link(containerShape, new Object[] {addedTask, labelShape});
link(labelShape, new Object[] {addedTask, containerShape});
updatePictogramElement(labelShape);
layoutPictogramElement(labelShape);
addInternalPorts(addedTask, containerShape);
updatePictogramElement(containerShape);
return containerShape;
I think that linking or making somehow relation between pictogram elements should be enough.

Old Firefox's icon and item Name (not blue one) in Application has disappeared suddenly from the screen. How can I retrieve this?

When I clicked "Finder" and "Application", Firefox (old one, not new blue one) icon and Name used to show up in the screen, but no longer. How could I bring them back? There are no difficulty
in running computer, but I cannot update Firefox. Please advise.
Thank you.

Unfortunately I tried that and it didn't work. Thanks for the help though. I tried to uninstall and it said I couldn't because the file is corrupt or something, but I think I finally got it uninstalled and/or deleted or whatever, but now I try to reinstall/download it again from the beginning and I can't. No matter what I do I can not get Firefox working again. No matter how many times I try to redownload it. Any other suggestions?

Disappearing videos from the slides of Keynote in retina display 15" Macbook Pro

After transferring to retina 15" display macbook pro, keynote started to delete videos from the presentations without leaving a sort of mark or placeholder but just an empty slide.

You should have a backup in the first place. If you don't, buy an external drive (they're inexpensive these days) and make a Time Machine or a clone backup (using Carbon Copy Cloner).
Then take your machine to your local Apple Store or an AASP and let them diagnose the computer. See if they can isolate what may possibly be making the 'clicking' sound.

All the emails in my inbox have disappeared apart from the last 2 day's worth, they are not in the deleted folder either

I have my 3 bt email addresses linked to Thunderbird. This morning when checking emails I found that 1 of the accounts is missing everything apart from the last 2 days worth of emails. I've logged into BT and all the emails are there but not in Thunderbird, how can I get them back?

Delete your e-mail if you are dealing with Yahoo or Google or Apple, and then add the account back in again. This will reload those e-mails. If you have the same problem, then, you may have a problem in your Mail app, and you may have to reset you iPad to factory default in iTunes to reload a fresh and clean copy of the e-mail app. Always be sure you do your backups before fiddling around with your iPad, like this.

I have two devices on my account : one iPhone5S and one iPhone5 both connected to iCloud. When I deleted 500 contacts on one device they disappeared automatically from the other. How can I get them back

How can I get back deleted contacts from iCloud?

If both phones were syncing contacts with the same account, that's normal. iCloud syncs changes on one devices to all other devices sharing the account.
If you don't have another backup source for your contacts, you may be able to restore them from your iCloud backup by following Winston Churchill's user tip here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841.

Pictures rotate or disappears by from the book I´m creating!

I have made a few photo books in iPhoto before, no problems. When I´m now creating a new book some photos in the book rotate all by their selves and some photos just disappear! I correct them and after a few minutes other photos disappears! Please help!

No. And to assure that they don't is why we suggest backing up the library beforehand if you don't already have a current backup copy. Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window.
2 - Run Option #1, Repair Permissions.
3 - if that doesn't fix the issue repeat the process and this time select Option #4, Rebuild Database.

Client security Solutions/Password Manager failure - all passwords disappeared from the list

Dear All,
Could anybody comment what might happened and from where the PW data may be found.
After computer where turned on, only fingerprint reader PW was active. All other where missing. The folder was empty?
I am sorry about grammar mistakes , this is not my native language

Hi,
based on your description I suggest follwoing:
- in case you have CSS configured for certain applicaitons to start via finger swipe <configuration, where you replaced the typing of the password with your FPR swipe> then I assume, that during the "cleanup phase", Vista deleted also certain files, that are required for the correct configuration of the finger swipe, so that ceratin applications can start. And this was the trigger. CSS detected, that this file is no longer awailable and since he is using a bacpuk, CSS needed to restore the configuration files, so that it can work correctly. However, this situaiton triggered CSS to reboot the machine, so that the changes will work correctly.
This is my assumption, what probably caused the situation, so that the system turn off.
However, the situation, where you could not start this system. Hmmmmm, that seems prety strange.
In this case I can only imagine, that the reboot, or the shutdown command somehow went not corect and the system accidentelly started into Hybernation state and the system freezed.
Althought this is realy just my assumption, it does not need to be exactly this situation.
I would suggest, that the first part might be partly correct, but with the second part I'm realy not sure. I would need to see it and debug the machine, so that I can say exactly what happened.
Do you think, that this might fit your situation?

Layers disappearing from layer palette

Named layers that have been appearing in the layer palette
have now disappeared from the palette although the layers are still
appearning on the page. I am working on a template if that makes
any difference in Dreamweaver 8.

If they are in non-editable regions of the page they will not
be shown in
the layers panel.
