DISPLAY HANDLES AND SNAP POINTS

I've drawn a box in Adobe Illustrator CC if I click the box I can see the corner and centre points of it, if I drag a ruler to snap to the centre handle the handle and snap points disappear - please help ASAP I need to snap to centres fast - I have show boundaing box and edges on it still won't snap or display.

Lesley,
If you have Snap to Grid ticked what happens if you untick it?
Can you use Smart Guides (they may be simpler to use for purposes like the one you describe)?

IPod mini went through wash and displays folder with exclamation point HELP

My friend has an ipod mini and i guess it went through the wash and now it will turn on but it displays the folder and exclamation point. I tried resetting it with menu and select but it goes right back to the folder after reset. I have already read apples document so please don't post it. My question is do you think it is the logic board or hard drive that needs to be replaced? It seems if it were the logic board then it wouldn't turn on at all. I'm just trying to figure out if it's worth fixing or not. Is there any way i can tell for sure which component is bad? Thanks

Erm i dno bout the hard board n logic disc etc. im just like awful wiv stuff like dis but i got the same problem n i like tried restorin it n alsorts over n over, which i did when i managed 2 get this b4 n i got it twice with this ipod n it a brand new replaced 1.
neway wat i tryin 2 say is wunt go buyin a new 1 2 hastily cos it probs fixable even i managed 2 do it once b4 n i tryin 2 do it agn now. just try all the stuff on the support site thing im jst hopin tht summets got 2 work!!!
also u could just like ask an expert i dno if they do it here bt in america they like had apple shops were they had a "genius bar" which was basically ppl hu r rlly gd @ this kinda stuff tht sort it 4 u. :S

please help me solve my problem and tell me what to do any help is appreciated
Thanks, John

Hello John,
Check out this detailed post about this same problem, and see if the suggestions work.
Also, there is an Apple article about this.

Hope this helps!

Display separated after drop. Can it be glued and snapped back together?

MacBook Pro Late 2008 - Glossy Graphics display.
Dropped it on carpeted stairs and it separated in the corner.
The display still works, It closes tight with the display is all the way open, just
when I close it you can see it separated in the left bottom corner.
Appears that there are plastic and metal snaps.
Can this be glued and snapped back together or should I replace the clam shell glossy graphix display?
How much does replacing the display cost, anyway?

The best thing to do would be to take it by an Apple Store or AASP and ask. If it can be re-glued, then I expect you would need to use the exact right glue. If it can just be snapped back, then Apple or the AASP would know how best to proceed.
Apple or the AASP would be able to quote you a price on replacing the display. If you want to try it yourself, you can find parts and instructions on ifixit or PowerBook Medic.
It's probably worth a shot at repairing the display. Replacing it is always an option if a repair doesn't work.
Good luck!

Smart guides and snap to point not working in Adobe Illustrator CC 2014

Hello,
I am having a lot of issues with Illustrator CC 2014 and the Smart Guides. Every time I try and snap one object to another or snap an object to a guide, the object snaps either above or below the guide/object but never snaps correctly. This also happens when I am zoomed in all the way!
I do not have align to pixel grid or snap to grid turned on.

David,
I do not have align to pixel grid or snap to grid turned on
It sounds as if Illy thinks the former.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Several Subtle Improvements to Text Handling and Other Miscellany

Don't get me wrong: Illustrator CS4 is great. I love it. And ignore, for the moment, the recent announcement that CS5 is already being rolled out in a few days. Maybe some of these things will be included in CS5. But if not, I'd make the following feature requests. I'd also love to hear if anyone has been thinking the same things.
Check this link to see a graphical overview of all the items, too:
http://www.meesez.com/illyimprove.pdf
Improvements to Text Handling
Unify text antialiasing program-wide. Right now, the pixel preview seems to rasterize text according to the "Type Optimized" algorithm, but Save for Web & Devices uses the "Art Optimized" algorithm. This creates a discrepancy between on-screen preview and web output, especially with very thin fonts. Ideally, there would be per-object antialiasing control, as in Photoshop, which would globally apply to on-screen display, pixel preview display, Save for Web & Devices, Export, and Rasterize.
a. Make an option to view and manipulate the size and position of point type areas in terms of the actual size of the glyphs present, ignoring any blank space within or between the glyphs' bounding boxes — that is, the size that would be reported if the type was converted to outlines. This is opposed to the current system, which calculates the size and position of point type areas based on the entire bounding box size of each character, even when glyphs don't extend to the all edges of the bbox (which most don't). This would make it easier to fit headlines to exact sizes without having to outline the text.
b. Allow smart guides and snapping to detect anchors and paths on live glyphs.
Allow users to specify that type should not be scaled when resizing area type boxes. With this option turned off, text boxes could be resized with the transform panel or the scale tool without their contents being stretched or squashed. (This is what currently already happens when a text area is resized using the mouse.)
Create an option to apply leading to entire paragraphs. I love being able to enter a new paragraph leading value in InDesign without having to have any characters selected.
Add vertical alignment options to area text.
Add support for balancing ragged lines within a paragraph, as in InDesign.
Add an option to automatically outline all text when saving a file as PDF. This option would be mutually exclusive with the "Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities" checkbox.
Bug fix: font selection by font name keyboard entry. Typing a font name into the font selector in both the control bar and the character palette doesn't always succeed in changing the font of the selected type (tested in Windows XP). This happens sporadically; sometimes the selector will display the new font name but the selected type will remain in the old font. Clicking on the font selector in this situation brings the user to top of the menu, making it necessary to select the desired font by scrolling through the entire list (which does work).
Other Improvements
Add a preview mode (similar to InDesign's "W" key) which hides everything outside of the current artboard. This would be useful for previewing trims, especially now that bleeds are supported.
Create an option to toggle the display of all document raster effects (while leaving them intact). This would be quite convenient when working with large files having high-resolution raster effects on several layers. In such a situation, small changes to artwork can take a long time to render.
Add support for angle (conical) gradients. I'm guessing that this feature has not yet been implemented either because angle gradients don't interact well with other types of gradients, or perhaps because they can't be transformed into gradient mesh objects due to the "singularity" at the vertex. But couldn't this problem be resolved by being discreet about what's allowed in terms of file saving and conversions to gradient mesh? I would think the folks at Adobe could figure this one out, if it is indeed a mathematical problem.
Bug fix: antialiasing on shapes that run exactly along pixel boundaries. See diagram for more details.

Is there a way to restrict handles when snapping like older versions of illustrator?

In previous versions of illustrator, when you snapped to grid the handles would snap as well. This made making complicated precise line work easier and faster. I noticed in the October update that the removal of this function is being touted as an upgrade/feature??
"When snapping is turned on, your anchor points and handles (direction lines) align to your choice of pixel, grid, or point. However, handles snapping to the grid restricts the freedom with which you draw. In the 2014 release of Illustrator CC, whatever you choose to snap to, handles are completely unrestricted. When handles are not subject to being snapped to a grid, you have much finer control over drawing and editing workflows."
...that handle restriction was actually very, very useful to me. Any way to get that back/toggle it on and off? Without having to downgrade to older versions of illustrator?
Thanks for any help you can provide!

The answer is not yet. Most people are hoping that the engineers will introduce a toggle to return the old behavior as an option but don't hold your breath. If you absolutely need it you will have to revert to an earlier version.

Batch Capture Randomly Changes In and Out Points

I'm editing a documentary on Final Cut Pro 5.0.
Using a SONY DSR-11 firewire deck.
I logged sets of clips and then batch captured them. I DIDN'T select add handles in the batch capture tool. Some clips, as they're captured, change their in and out points. Sometimes by two frames early, sometimes by two frames late, and sometimes not at all. Several clips even stopped captured with an out point twenty seconds earlier than what I'd logged. The result is that I have clips with media start and media end points that are not in what I wanted. There seems to be no rhyme or reason whatsoever to this.
Any ideas what's going on?
Many Thanks if you do!

Check to see if your tapes have NDF time code.
If you play a tape with NDF TC using Log & Capture, the current time display will defaut to DF until the tape palys forward long enough for the current time field to update. It is posible to log NDF tapes as DF, in which case the timecode values can be incorrectly re-converted if recapturing.
Also, If you initiate a batch capture from the browser, FCP will default to DF, and not be able to update the TC format to NDF duriing the batch. The workaround here has been to cue up NDF tapes with L&C, and start the batch capture while L&C is still open and showing NDF TC.
However, upon upgrading to FCP5 last year, I found that even observing all these precautions and steps, FCP would still shorten the out point of my captured clips on NDF tapes. I was capturing a feature film that came from the UK, and so the starting time on the master was 10 hours instead of 1 hour. When the DF/NDF error occurred and shortened the out point of my 2-hour clip, it did it by several minutes instead of several seconds, because of the starting TC on the tape. In that case, I wound up adding several minutes to my out point and recapturing the end over again.
I haven't experienced this issue lately, but it comes up every now and then.

SharePoint 2010 Web Analytics showing user Display Name and Account Name from the same user

Hi!
Since July, 16th 2012 the Web Analytics Daily Unique Visitors reports started to show almost the double of visitors we used to have on our Web Application. Here are some of the data (I intentionally deleted the weekend data):
10/7/2012 2.497
11/7/2012 2.723
12/7/2012 2.722
13/7/2012 2.699
16/7/2012 5.055
17/7/2012 4.963
18/7/2012 4.954
19/7/2012 4.998
20/7/2012 4.965
23/7/2012 5.117
24/7/2012 5.012
25/7/2012 5.071
As you may notice the data jumped from around 2.700 unique visitors to around 5.000 unique visitors. As the number of permissioned users remains constant it is pretty odd. I also checked the Number of Page Views report and see no change on its behavior.
The number of page views remained constant.
So I went to look the Top Visitors report and understand why the visitors number almost doubled. The analytics started to count the users Display Name and Account name as two different visitors with a different number of page views. Let me show you an example
from yesterday (July, 25th) Top Visitors report:
#    Visitor                  Page Views   %
1   Cinthia XXXXXXXXXX    359      0,55%
5   Giselle XXXXXXXXXX     143        0,22%
7    Aline XXXXXXXXXX       138        0,21%
15 nt\cmazevedo              111        0,17%
60 nt\gbsantana                 69        0,11%
73 nt\aglsiqueira                 65      0,10%
"Cinthia" and the account "nt\cmazevedo" are the same person. The same is applied to "Giselle" / "nt\gbsantana" and "Aline" / "nt\aglsiqueira".
As I stated this is an example from July, 25th. If I checked the same report from a period before July, 16th I can only see the users Display Name as "Visitors". No account name is displayed or counted as a different visitor.
About the environment:
We have two SharePoint 2010 farms: a "corporate" and a "enterprise". The corporate farm contains four web servers and a central administration servers with publishing services. The enterprise farm contains two servers running User Profile Services, Search
Services and some others. Our main version is the SP1 with June/2011 Cumulative Update with a few more hotfixes applied.
This behavior on analytics is affecting all web applications (we have more than 20) installed on this farm and my company Support team said that no change were made on SharePoint on the weekend the problem started.
Does anyone have any tip about what is going on?
Thanks in advance!

Hi, Manas!
First of all thanks for your interest on this issue but I don't think it is related to the User Profile or the Active Directory.
I checked both records and there was no change on the Display Names. All the users have "full names" as display names (first + middle + last name) and not logins as SharePoint is displaying on this report.
But I did a test yesterday and checked the results today confirming that just the access been made using a specific server are causing this. Explaining it better:
I have four web servers on my farm named from P01 to P04. Then I created this test script:
Step 1: Change local HOSTS file to point the web application on the server P01.
Step 2: Access site "A"
Step 3: Access site "B"
Step 4: Close the browser.
Step 1: Change local HOSTS file to point the web application on the server P02.
Step 2: Access site "C"
Step 3: Access site "D"
Step 4: Close the browser.
Step 1: Change local HOSTS file to point the web application on the server P03.
Step 2: Access site "E"
Step 3: Access site "F"
Step 4: Close the browser.
Step 1: Change local HOSTS file to point the web application on the server P04.
Step 2: Access site "G"
Step 3: Access site "H"
Step 4: Close the browser.
I asked three users to execute that script. The results: All access to the sites "C" and "D" were registered on Web Analytics with the user account name such as "nt\cmazevedo". All the other sites registered the user Display Name correctly such as "Cinthia
XXXXXXXXXX".
With this test we could isolate the problem just on the server P02. It doesn't occur on the others. Now my support team is trying to find any configuration difference between this server and the other three that could point for the root cause.
I am also looking for some information regarding the service responsible for this task ("transform the account name into a display name") to understand why it doesn't work on one server and works on the others.
Thanks!

Query regarding handling and monitoring of OSB Errors in a specific manner

Hi,
I'm using
- OSB 10gR3 (10.3.1)
Context
To give some context, the setup I currently have a proprietory frontend client that is making XML/HTTP requests to OSB
which in turn is getting info from downstream systems.
I have no control over the behaviour/logic of the frontend client .. apart from knowing that it has a specific
request/response format.
So now to the issue..
The issue I'm facing is regarding handling of errors. Based on my knowledge of OSB, the error handling of the transaction has been
built along these lines
(Within the stage) If an error scenario's occurred, error is being thrown
(Within the error handler stage) Logging the error (using the 'Log' function .. with severity 'Error')
(Within the error handler stage) The response payload is being built .. so that the error can be reported to the frontend client
(Within the error handler stage) I'm doing a 'Reply with Success'
Now this does give me the expected behavior from the frontend client's perspective (... i.e. it receives the payload and displays whatever error that's occurred)
However from OSB's perspective, because I have done a 'Reply with success', the OSB Service Health Page ... (screenshot below) does not
increment the 'Errors' count for the respective proxy service ....
[OSB Service Health Page|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13159_01/osb/docs10gr3/operations/monitoring.html#wp1107685] (Looking at Figure 3-8)
The only way I could achieve this was to set the error handler stage to 'Reply with Failure' (which would return HTTP 500) ...
The issue however is that, the proprietory frontend simply sees the incoming HTTP 500 code and doesn't read the return XML payload (containing the error details ..)
which beats the whole idea of being able to maintain some sort of traceability for the failed transactions.
So what I'm basically trying to find is .. that when an error occurs
- Some 'call' to make the during the error handler stage so that it registers as an error in the OSB Service Health Page.. and I can clearly
see the error count, etc for each of the proxy services
- After that being able to still use 'Reply with Success' ... so that the payload is being returned with HTTP 500 code...
so the frontend can read the payload ...
............. in essence, the idea being to register errors so that they can be monitored via the Service Health Dashboard ..but at the same time
being able to return the 'error details' payload successfully
With my limited (but growing) knowledge of OSB .. I've tried quite a few ways to achieve this with no success...
Would very much appreciate any help here ...
Lastly, if there is some way of achieving what I'm trying to get to above through different means, I'm open
to trying out alternate stuff.
Regards,
Himanshu

Hi Atheek,
Many thanks for the reply. Does appear to be a pretty neat way of doing it ..
One more clarification I'd like on this however ....
Given that I have a set up like this below
[External frontend client] <------> (1 Parent Service) <------> (2 Child Service)
(1 Parent Service) .... has error handler .. and all it does is 'Reply with success'
(2 Child Service) .... has error handler for particular stage
so...
2 Child Service - is doing the actual work (has error handler where custom error msg is being populated in $body)
1 Parent Service - is the one that is getting called by the external client (has error handler .. and all it does is 'Reply with success')
What I currently have is ..once the error occurs, I'm populating $body ... with the custom error message within the error handler
Previously I had 'Reply with Success' in the 2 Child Service's error handler and the custom error message would get returned to the external client.
Now, with the error handler only creating the custom error msg.... and 1 Parent service doing the 'Reply with Success' .. it doesn't appear
to return the $body .. with the custom msg that I'd populated .. in 2 Child Service's error handler.
Are the $body contents populated in 2 Child Service's error handler lost ...once the error propagates up to 1 Parent service's error handler ?
If yes... is there way of getting around it ? I could see for instance that the $fault message context has a 'user populated' Details variable
but the documentation covering this is sparse.

BPM for error handling and acknowledgements

Hi,
Can any one tell me how to handle BPM for error handling and acknowledgements in one scenario.
Please send me the link if you have other wise give me the solution on the same.
Thanks,
Nagesh

Hi !
Just check out these links This might help you.
Usually Application Level Acknowledgement is considered during Sync communication. If you are using RFC, you can make use of Sync communication. So you can handle it without bpm, provided your both sender and receiver are sync interfaces.
To know about Ack-
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/f4/8620c6b58c422c960c53f3ed71b432/content.htm
you can not dirrectly access the content of the ACK, however the BPM shows different behaviours based on the ACK status. E.g. if the ACK contains a success message the BPM will continue in its normal process, if the ACK contains a permanent error, it will either stop or go through an exception branch (provided such a branch has been defined). Have a look at the documentation: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/43/65ce41ae343e2be10000000a1553f6/content.htm It doesnt"t state the above mentioned behaviour in detail but says that you need to define an exception branch.
The trickiest part is always to find out, when you will get a transient vs. as permanent error ack. If you are using ACKs with Proxies refer also to this link http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/29/345d3b7c32a527e10000000a114084/content.htm and this http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/f4/8620c6b58c422c960c53f3ed71b432/content.htm

A way to "re-connect" bezier handles and other path editing techniques

I've searched and rummaged through tutorials for days but I haven't found a way to do a few things that I've come to think of as essential when it comes to path manipulation.
I'm using Illustrator CS4 (on Windows XP SP3) and I'm coming from a background of Inkscape. Within Inkscape, there are several handy tools that are missing from Illustrator that I haven't found workarounds for. Here's a list of these tools and a brief description for each of how they work within Inkscape:
]- "Shift + C" with anchor point selected: this will make the bezier handles of the point move independently of each other.
]- "Shift + S" with anchor point selected:
b this will "connect" the bezier handles
so that moving one side moves the other side relatively (and opposite to each other so that the bezier handles form a straight line).
(note: in Inkscape there is no way to make the bezier handles relative and not form a straight line, which is something I know would be useful)
]- "Shift + Y" with anchor point selected: this will make the bezier handles collinear (like shift + S) plus make the lengths of both handles the same.
(note: another possible feature would be to make the handle lengths relative, but not the same)
]- "Shift + Click + Drag" on a selected anchor point with the path selection tool: this creates one bezier handle in the direction you drag. This is very useful if you don't want to change the curve of the other side.
With these functions (preferably including the suggestions I've noted), path editing in Illustrator would be much easier.
On the topic of Inkscape's path editing abilities, there is also a way within the program to delete anchor points in two ways:
]The default way is to press "Del," which deletes the anchor points and makes the anchor points around the deleted points attempt to fill the area as close as possible to how it was with points.
]The second way is to press "Ctrl + Del," which deletes the points and does nothing to the surrounding points.
Inkscape's default deletion method is a huge time saver when you simply have a surplus of anchor points; you can the excess and the shape maintains itself (often the result is for the shape to smooth itself out).
I hope that these suggestions are described well enough to be understood. I also hope that, in understanding these potential techniques, you can see their potential usefulness within Illustrator.

Lee,
All those functions are present in Illustrator. I personally think their interface stinks in some ways, but they are there.
> "Shift + C" with anchor point selected: this will make the bezier handles of the point move independently of each other.
Convert AnchorPoint Tool. Press Alt to invoke it when the Pen tool is active. Otherwise, switch to it with Shift C. Use it to drag a smoothPoint's handle, and it will convert the point to a cornerPoint, letting you move the handle you click independently.
> "Shift + S" with anchor point selected: this will "connect" the bezier handles so that moving one side moves the other side relatively (and opposite to each other so that the bezier handles form a straight line).
Again, the Convert tool. Mousedown on an anchorPoint and drag. The point will become a smoothPoint and both handles will extend symmetrically.
There are also buttons to convert selected points between smooth and corner in the Control Panel when anchorPoints are selected.
> (note: in Inkscape there is no way to make the bezier handles relative and not form a straight line, which is something I know would be useful)
In my musings about Bezier drawing interfaces, I've often imagined a metaphor of "joints" rather than points. (That's really what they are: two adjacent Bezier curves with coincident endpoints.) Joints can be "hinged" or "locked"; "bent" or "straight". They can also be "dislocated". Joints can be locked bent or locked straight, and can be moved either way.
> "Shift + Y" with anchor point selected: this will make the bezier handles collinear (like shift + S) plus make the lengths of both handles the same. (note: another possible feature would be to make the handle lengths relative, but not the same)
See second item, above.
> With these functions (preferably including the suggestions I've noted), path editing in Illustrator would be much easier.
They are there; thier interface is just different.
> On the topic of Inkscape's path editing abilities, there is also a way within the program to delete anchor points in two ways:
> The default way is to press "Del," which deletes the anchor points and makes the anchor points around the deleted points attempt to fill the area as close as possible to how it was with points.
Not present in AI. (Not associated with a direct point manipulation tool, anyway. Commands like Simplify try to remove points while retaining the shape.)
> The second way is to press "Ctrl + Del," which deletes the points and does nothing to the surrounding points.
The Delete AnchorPoint Tool. Invoke it by pressing the minus key. Similarly, there is an Add AnchorPoint Tool, invoked by pressing the plus key. By default, the Pen Tool does that automatically to selected paths, but you can turn it off in prefs (unlike the infuriating auto join behavior, which affects UNSELECTED paths.)
> Inkscape's default deletion method is a huge time saver...I hope that...you can see their potential usefulness within Illustrator
Just about every user of programs like Illustrator, FreeHand, Draw, Canvas know very well the advantages of keyboard modifiers for such things, and all such programs provide them. (Although I do consider AI's treatment considerably more tedious than FreeHand's.)
You need to spend some time looking at the keyboard shortcuts described in the Help files, and carefully practicing them. You need to know how to invoke them while in the process of drawing paths with the Pen.
