Dots at the top of the swatches?
what do the dots mean on some swatches?
Thanks.
I'm looking at the main swatches panel and don't see any dots. Are you referring to the color palette in the GIF and PNG optimization panel?

Funny purple dots in the top of phone
ok im having none of the problems that are being discussed [except battery ofcourse].but i dont want to post a dumb topic. i am a first time iphone owner [3g model] and im noticing three purple-ish dots on the top of my phone. there above the screen on the left side. there are two side by side and one one top. it only shows up sometimes.[i noticed it today while sitting outside] i was just wondering was this something thats there for a reason or not?
If you are talking about the area next to the speaker at the top of the phone, those are the proximity sensors that know when you put the phone up to your face so that you don't accidently hang up on someone or touch a button.

What to do when your iPhone 6 has a small/tiny dot on the top of the screen?
I just bought my new iPhone 6, but when i powered it up i noticed a small dot on the top of the screen, It left for one day, now its back.
Does my warranty cover it and what will happen when I take it to get repaired?
Will they fix it or replace it?
ThanksIf you say it was gone for one day, you may try resetting your device. This won't delete your data stored on the phone.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button
Press and hold on the Home button
Keep holding both buttons until the display turns off and back on with Apple logo on it.
Alternatively, you may go to Settings - General - Reset - Reset All Settings
If this does not help, I believe you need to have your iPhone checked and repaired at your local Apple Store as it may be a hardware problem.
Apple specialists will most likely fix your device. -
There is an extra dot on the lock screen of my iphone and on the top bar of the phone screen 5 (ex: "10.20."). What should I do?
If you swipe down from that bar, it will pull up your notification center.

My spotcolors aren't displaying correctly. (Different from the swatch)
I am having an issue that has just randomly happened where when I want to make a colour a certain spot colour from my swatch library fill a certain shape it DOESNT CHANGE the colour yet it SAYS IT IS ANOTHER COLOUR when I do a separations preview. I'll try to explain.
The thing is is that it works to be changed to any other colour in my swatch library than the one I want it to be changed to. And this issue is only happening to ONE swatch in particular that I have not made any alterations to, and that has always worked perfectly. If I create a new document it will display correctly, but when I paste the shape into another document that has the same exact settings and spot colours it pasts as a different colour. (like the same as Top Black 2)
I AM HAVING DIFFICULTY WITH TOP BLACK 1 (these spot colours have not changed and I've always used them.)
My shapes are wayyyyy too much to remake in the new document- so I have to copy and paste many layers.
I'm sorry if this seems confusing I made up some pictures. I am just using circles to show you my problem.
Below is when I have made a new document from the same template I use and have always used. The spot colours from my library are seen here in their proper colours. (by the way I am not working in greyscale I still use actual colours. My document is CMYK)
SO this happens vice versa if I paste shape TOP BLACK 1 from an old document into a new or from a new document to an older one.
Below You now see what I have copied from my brand new document (above) and have pasted it into my previous document and as you can see, my TOP BLACK 1 has now darkened now displaying as my Top Black 2.(or at least close to it) I CAN change the TOP BLACK 1 shape into any other colour, for example my working pink colour. But when I click it to be Top Black 1 it still stays the way it is shown here. I think you can notice that what TOP BLACK 1 is now is way darker than the Grey it's supposed to be in my library on the right. Circle 3 and 4 have correctly copied and pasted in the correct colour.
Heres the other strange thing too. If I click and hold my TOP BLACK 1 swatch in my library (as seen above) and drag it to my main illustrator swatch library, it displays darker. The pink arrow shows the swatch that it has turned into. I am so confused of what it is doing.
When I turn on my separations preview and turn off top black 1 all that i have that is TOP BLACK 1 disappears... so it is SEPARATING correctly its just not displaying on my screen as the correct colour.
Let me know if there is anything else to explain. I have restarted my computer, reset launch settings etc. I only found one forum where a person has the same problem and it had a few suggestions of the appearance panel settings but none of that has worked. I have the most updated Illustrator CC
Thankyou.1 appears to be the one that is off the most.
2 is slightly off
You may have an extra fill assigned at the group level that is overiding the fill at the Path level. Doubleclick on the word Contents in your appearance palette to get to the path level. To fix you can delete the fill at the group level, or simply ungroup to break that attribute.
As Larry mentioned, posting the file is the best way to get an answer to this one.
If you cannot post the file, we will need to know what color document color mode, and the color type and values.
You can also check this setting. -
On a G5 computer I can't log in I get dots in the login in field
I turned on my computer and I get dots in the login field and can't enter my password. G5 running Leopard.
Hi Amy,
Have you tried just hittng enter at that point?
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward. -
Hi, some of my songs appear greyed out with a ring of dots to the left in itunes when I view whats on my iphone 5. These songs will not sync to my phone but have synced to my classic and shuffle? Can anybody tell me why this is? Cheers

i have a persitant error popup whilst on my computer , it looks like a film icon and has several dots in the bottom of it , i have tried to investigate but come up with no solution , when i use firefox to clean my comp there is lots of mgbites for this error message , so i have taken google of and that seems to have stopped the error message in the ccleaner but it still keeps popping up , can anyone solve this for me
First, let me thank you again for your time and attention to my inquiry. I do wish Firefox and the Mozilla community well -- and I would agree that not nearly everyone who has downloaded version 4 has complained.
OTOH, I don't know what your multiplier is -- that is, how many downloaders on average actually having some kind of problem it takes for one of them/us to find it worth her/his time and trouble to input complaints this way. And thousands of messages does also still add up to quite a number of different problems. And my PC is old enough that it is perhaps more susceptible to problems and limitations.
So I have downloaded version 4 -- but I'm not planning to install it immediately . . . not until I have the time and patience accumulated to handle installation and its problems, whether they're teething problems or teasing problems or absolute lockdown/drag-out fights. -
I purchased a song on iTunes and it is displayed in my list of SONGS. However, when I try to add to my iPhone 4, it displays with a small circle of dots to the left of the song title and will not play. How do I get this song onto my device?
Hi TKCDM1!
You should try to get this purchase onto your iOS device by using the suggestions in the following article:
Downloading past purchases from the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store

An insect got behind the screen of my MacBook and has since died, leaving a black dot on the screen. As this is a sealed unit the insect cannot be removed, any ideas.
I believe your only option will be to get Apple to replace the screen for you, which won't be cheap. If the machine is still covered under warranty, you could try to push the case that the screen must be defective for a bug to get in there. Apple has been known to do free out-of-warranty service in some pretty unbelievable circumstances, that that is at their discretion, so be very pleasant and polite so they'll like you and want to help you out. But be prepared to have to pay for the repair.
Good luck! -

Illustrator is not working as it should...
I want them to compare the original size and date of creation with what I have installed on my computer... I have installed several times with my original CD and I tried once downloading the files from the adobe site (using my own license). I suspect the files has been modified or renamed on my laptop by an external unauthorized user causing the malfunction of the application.
Customer services does not support CS3 anymore and the updates / patches in the adobe site does not solve the problem... They redirect me to the forums for support...
Presently, my problem is that after creating a swatch and drag it to the swatch panel, it does not fill as it should a new form... Now, after deactivating and activating my license the swatch seems to fill the new form but when the filter that the swatch has is persistence in the next filling object created even though a different color is being used as a fill (X)... Help in the creation of a swatch over the internet just complicate the issue.
That's why I would like to know whether updates on my product are being received or files are being replaced without my knowledge...
Thanks...
PS Do you know how to contact a staff adobe employer on the forums?I saw your post today.
Moving the hosts file to the desktop will make it part of a roaming profile? That's means that activation will occur from any computer that are part and available of my microsoft local network. How can I make sure that the program I access is the one located on my local C drive and not in a roaming profile in maybe a cloud environment or from an unknown equipment with access to my network without authorization. I have only 1 laptop where I install locally the CS3 suit
My host file has not entries on it and even when trying to copy to the desktop the activation can not be completed, same problem. Days ago I used the trial option instead of the activation, after trying to activate the whole product as you mentioned in your reply, the trial period remaining got back to the original 30 days.
I have recently noticed that I have a roaming profile with a workspace file different to the one I have on my local disk (3 files basic, panel and type). On the roaming profile I see a directory for adobe illustrator CS3 settings \ workspaces \ AIWSPrefs file which has different entries than the one I have at the local drive. Normally I do not customize a lot the workspace or safe the setting used, I load the brushes, swatches, etc manually from the location they are on my local drive so the swatches and brushes directories on the roaming profile are empty instead. Adobe Eureka and Kuler palettes exists on the basic local file not in the roaming one.
The directories on my roaming profile are:
Acrobat
Adobe Illustrator CS3 Settings
Adobe PDF
Adobe Photoshop CS3
Color
Dreamweaver 9
Flash Player
Fonts
Headlights
Linguistics
Logs
LogTransport2
Save For Web AI
Updater5
Workflow
XMP
Inside illustrator roaming directory, the following files :
AI Color Settings
AIAppResources
AIMenuFaceCache
AIPrefs
Brushes
Composite Fonts
Graphic Styles
IllustratorFnt.lst
Kinsoku
MojiKumi
New Document Profiles
Plug-in Cache.ARTX
Plug-ins
Print Presets
Save for Web Settings
Swatches
Symbols
Transparency Flattener Presets
Workspaces
In the above scenario, which workspace and other functions files will take precedence? How can I avoid the roaming profile?
Not being able to copy files from the roaming profile to my local disk, I wondering how this roaming profile was created and why the files are in there. Those files have a date from last month, the local files were more recently installed.
Your comments will be appreciated at your earliest.
Thanks in advance -
What is this black dot on the side of my MacBook Pro? What is it for? How do I get to it?
I have a MacBook Pro (2011 Model & 13") and I was wondering . . . What is this black dot on the side of my MacBook Pro? What is it for and how do I get to it?
P.S. I feel stupid asking this question . . .. . because I know those who answer will know exactly about it and what to do with it . .To be honest when I first got it, I thought I broke that hole . . . see I assumed it was a button to eject the CD slot, and I managed to either push it in deep enough, or smash it off. . .. . I once got a tooth pick and fiddled around in there in atempt to find something. . ..

I have had it for 2 weeks now, got it brand new at the apple store, it freezes all the time, and reboots itself, sometimes when i start it, purple dots cover the screen and i have to hold the power button. a 2 week old computer is not supposed to do this! it wastes all its time being so flashy that it just craps out all the time. sometimes i feel like i should have stayed with my virus covered PC. at least when it shut down randomly you could turn it back on, but with the macbook pro, it just keeps restarting itself over and over. need help with this, any answers?
Here's a novel thought. Take it back to the vendor. Should have done that one week ago.

Illustrator crashes everytime the Swatch palette is used
So my PC Illustrator CS3 version crashes everytime when a color is picked from the Swatch Palette. Any idea?
Thanks!!
NinaI would create a new user account and log into that ad see if it still happens.
BTW have you installed any fonts recently or software or update any software?

[JS] CS3 and later. Sort the Swatches alphabetically
Is there a way to sort the swatches, like I did for the paragraphStyles, characterStyles, and so on...?
There is no swatches[x].move(Location_option) in CS3 nor CS4 like paragraphStyles have.
Would CS5 have it?

Opening attachments with a dot in the name in the Mail app
I'm having an issue opening attachments in Mail when the file includes a dot in the name.
For example, a file called name.v2.pdf does not seem to be recognized as a PDF file. It's not even recognized as anything, the file is shown in the mail but clicking on it does not trigger anything. Renaming that file to something like name-v2.pdf ("-" instead of ".") and everything is fine and working.
Anyone know how to get around that or if Apple plans a fixing this? I've been having the issue since iOS 5...
Only solution I found up to now is using another mail client than the default Mail app of Apple but that's a shame.Sorry my bad. This is happening with zip files not pdf. Indeed I've retried with a pdf and it does work.
Usually with a zip file in a mail, I touch & hold the file to have the "open in" menu come up.
However, when the file is name like "name.v1.zip", the menu does not want to come up... which for a zip file is necessary since the Mail app does not handle zip files.
I've tried sending and receiving from different accounts, my gmail and my work Exchange account, in all cases, the file does not want to open if there is a period in the name other than the one for the extension.
Thanks for your help.
