Extruded text missing faces

Trying to do a piece with plain flat san-serif text on a spiral extruding into the distance with the center of the spiral as the vanishing point. When I do this, some extruded faces are created and others do not. Usually teh curved parts of the letters get extruded but the flat surfaces (like the flats sitting on the baseline) do not. Tried both as editable test and as outlines. Same surfaces were missing.
Tested with a much simpler version - 2 lines of text with returns between them so one line was near the top of hte page ans the other near the bottom so the extrusion would use the center of the page as the vanishing point. Similar result but different surfaces were missing.
I know the CS suite is not meant to be a 3d powerhouse but I realy don't have the time (or money) to learn Maya or Blender or similar. I'm decent at Google SketchUp but importing eps outlined into the Pro version yields thousands of unconnected segments. Might as well draw the text by hand at that point...
Here's the extruded outlines - the curved parts of the letters get extruded but the flats do not:
Here's the test using just 2 plain lines of text. This extrudes more faces but lots of flats are still missing:

Sorry for ommitting some details.
I had tried a range of Prespective from 0° to 90° and extrusion depth from 10 to 100 with no difference in what faces are created. This has been over a period of several weeks so Illustrator has been launched many times and the MacBook Pro has seen a couple of reboots.
This is on an MBPro 2.3Ghz i7 with 16Gb of RAM and MacOS 10.6.8.

Email printed to PDF, PDF appears accurate in Acrobat XI Pro, when PDF printed to paper text missing

HELP!!!
I have text disappear from Outlook emails printed to PDF when I print the PDF files from Acrobat XI Pro to a printer.
Here is a sample png from the PDF file printed out of Outlook - all the text is showing.
However when I print the PDF from Acrobat to a printer, the document comes out of the printer with text missing as shown:
The Acrobat print window shows all of the text that should be there as does Acrobat's view of the document.
Also, if I save the file to an image, all of the text is there.
I have tried different emails as well as different printers and the paper printed copies of the PDF emails are always missing text.
Additionally I have tried coverting the PDF file to a PDF/A file and printing that and the same problems occur.
Please send some tips as to how I can fix this!

Hello Atul -
i am having similar printing issues with Acrobat 10.1.4.
in my case both PDFs made by me (from InDesign files) and other PDFs made elsewhere and sent to me are missing text when printed to paper -though they look fine both on-screen and in the preview pane, as Katy noted above.
these PDFs print fine when i open and print from an older version of Acrobat (9.5.2).
they will also print fine from 10.1.4 if i send them to another printer in the office, (a Dell Color Laser 3110cn), the printer i have a problem with is a Kyocera Mita KM-5053 - which leads me to believe that this is some kind of communication error between Adobe Acrobat Pro 10.1.4 and this printer, or perhaps a driver issue. ?
I don't believe it's merely a preferences/print settings problem as i've gone pretty carefully through all the dialog boxes that seem relevant and have had no luck in solving the problem. Also, the text that's missing seems arbitraty - meaning, it's not merely hyperlinks or certain layers or text in specific type faces that won't print -it's content in the same text box, where other text does print, and it's blacks and colors and various point sizes - in short there are no easily discernable unifying circumstances among the text that does not print.
obvioulsy an easy work around is to just print to the other printer or use the older version of Acrobat, but my concern is more that other people may be experiencing the same issues with PDFs i send them. so if it is a problem in the way i'm generating PDFs (although, as i said, text is also missing from PDFs i have received from other people and printed) i'd like to fix it quickly, so that people trying to print my PDFs don't end up with critical content missing.
i'm on a 2008 MacBook Pro running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5, and using the Acrobat (X Pro v 10.1.4) that came with the CS6 Design & Web Premium package - although i'm looking at it online now and it's listed as Acrobat XI Pro..
any input you have would be much appreciated.
thank you,
bethany

Bug with Add Missing Face

Hello,
Just realized after spends hours of adding missing faces to many of my pictures, seems like some of the box's/names disappear after scrolling forward about 5 pictures or so. When I go back to the picture my hard work is gone. Seems to happen on the pictures where the faces are close up. Is this normal?

Hi there,
Unfortunately I don't have anything new to add apart that I am also suffering the same problem. I think the only thing useful to do is to also report a bug. Could you post the text you sent to Apple so that they see at that the problems are related?
However, I found by chance a situation where I think I defeated the bug.
As I understand from the other posts in this subject, this bug appears when iphoto hasn't recognized the face and we add a missig face. Now, in the help of iphoto it says that "+Only faces that have been detected by iPhoto in its initial scan of your photo library can affect face detection and recognition results. Manually identified faces don’t aid the face-matching ability in iPhoto.+".
So, in one of the photos where the bug was happening (a close-up photo of my wife's face), after trying several times and different box sizes, I tried the odd solution and put the box outside the face, near the hair and catching some background. It worked. The name is still there (not on the face, though). I know this isn't a solution, and Apple should work this out, but maybe you could try and see if this works for you too.
Cheers,
JP

Missing faces not being saved

When I updated to the newest version of iPhoto (9.3.2) on Mountain Lion, I am unable to save missing faces. I will select the add a face button and type in the person's name. When I go back to the photo none of the face data is being saved? Can anyone help me on this? Thanks!!

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Why are some text missing from the right side of a page I send to my printer? Thanks

Why is some of the text missing on the right side of a page I send to my printer?

I came across something similar recently where it printed the left hand side only!
If I want to print an email, instead of File > Print ( does not print properly ) I click on the print icon on my email webpage ( do not use applemail and access gmail direct) which then takes me to print preview showing the complete email which prints ok.
Some webpages ( File>Print) do not print properly and some do. Those that do not generally have their own printer icon (path) that needs to be clicked on.
Maybe something to do with encryption but don't know.
Hope this helps in some way.

Making email/text/missed call symbols show when the iphone screen is asleep

Hi,
So I purchased my first ever iphone on the weekend - the new 3G S. All very exciting. One thing I haven't quite worked out is whether it is possible to have the phone show me that I have mail/text/missed calls when the screen is asleep. Is this possible?
With Nokias and Sony Ericsson's when the screen is asleep and blacked out, you can still see a pic of an envelope etc to let you know there is something waiting for you like a text. Is this possible with the iphone and if so how?
Alternatively if there is an app that will do this, could you let me know what that is called so I can download it please?
Many thanks in advance
Paul

This is not possible with the current iPhone and version 3.0 software. There are no apps available either that will wake the iPhone up and activate the screen to provide you information. Hopefully this'll come in some furure software update.

Why detect missing faces? why not recognise them all in the first scan?

each time i import images, some faces are detected instantly, but I have to run detect missing faces one time more to find other recognizable faces. why possibly does aperture apply such mechanism?

at a guess its probably a speed versus productivity tradeoff, detection down to a certain level takes a certain amount of processing, detection to the nth degree would take a lot more.

Can you extrude text in Photoshop Touch?

Hi - wanting to buy Photoshop for my iPad, but I want to make sure you can extrude text in Photoshop Touch.

iBooks currently does not support highlighting for pdfs.
You need another app, such as Easy Annotate

Smart Album errors detecting photos w/ missing faces

I created a smart album (Faces is "unnamed") to find photos with missing faces. I went through and identified each of the photos. As I did this, as soon as I put in the name, many (but not all) disappeared from the album.
However, the Smart Album still has a number of photos, even though there are no unidentified images. I checked each one to see if there were small boxes that I missed, but there weren't.
I deleted the album and set up a new smart album (with the same criteria) and the images still appear in the album.
Is there any way to make my smart album smarter? (remove a plist???)
Thanks!

. "Affe". I have a face named "Sculpture".
I was quite impressed that Aperture's Face Recognition recognizeed the baboon's face.
I have some nice tagged sculptures too.
And some of the more cheeky suggestion by Aperture I named "Funny Face", for example - where does Aperture see a Face here in the bottom part of the picture?

Options to make 3D (extruded) text in AE CS3

Is there a way now to create real extrusions in text/shapes in AE CS3? Or, some other way to create that affect (...where you can actually rotate around a 'real' extrusion)?
I see that AE CS3 should allow 3D objects to be imported, but haven't been able to get that working right.
Could someone outline my options for creating this effect (with brief instructions on how to do that)? Right now, all I've found is ways to import IMAGES from 3D apps (and then import the camera data). I'm just looking for a way to somehow create/import 3D text into AE, and then be able to track video footage and have the text comp'd in (tracked to it). Ya, the old 'Panic Room title sequence' effect. I figure that I may have to just track it 2D (4 point) as a 2D image, if I can't track a 3D object.
I have Cinema4D (XL v7... old) for 3D, and the CS3 production suite (AE, Illlustrator, Photoshop). I imagine there are a few routes I can take (...create 3D object in C4D, create text in Illustrator).
I'm surprised there still doesn't appear to be a way to just extrude (real 3D extrude) text or vector shapes/masks in AE. that would be a really handy feature...

There are three ways that I know of without paying for plugins. Check CreativeCow.com for tutorials. One method is to copy the text layer 50 times or whatever and change the z axis one pixel on each one. The other way involves using the shatter effects, which has built-in extrusion. The third way involves downloading a free custom effect from here:

It takes a few minutes to get everything installed, but if you follow the instructions on his site, it works very nicely.

Then use the camera icon above the message composition area to insert an image.

Extrude text help please

OS X / IIlustrator, I'm trying to recreate the extrude text in the attached , I'm having a bit of trouble in certin areas. These are the steps I have done so far
select text - white fill / black stroke
copy text / move down / transform / reflect
first problem, need to have a gradient from filler to zero opacity. Tried adding a rectangle, placing over bottom text, select gradient 12 to 6 black to white. ( I cannot get the gradient to slowly go to zero opacity ) How do I do this?

What version of AI are you using?
Transparent Gradient Stops are possible in CS4, but only that version. If you are using an older version of AI, you'll need to create opacity masks to get a gradient to fade to transparent.
As Mylenium posted, a basic blends may provide some of the basic extrude values. Or there's always the 3D effect as well. If you use the 3D effect, it's often easiest to not apply a stroke to the object first, since the stroke color will determine the extrude color. And in the "More Options" you should probably choose "No Shading" in order to get solid shapes for the extrude objects. Otherwise you'll get a great many smaller shapes to compensate for the shading. Then use Object > Expand Appearance and fill with gradients.

*Some Text Missing* Nokia 6288

Hey, whenever my mobile tries to receive large messages (I guess they're messages spanning over 160 characters?) I get the *some text missing* phrase along with the last part of the message (normally only a few characters/words).
I was just wondering if there's anything I can do to solve this? If I text the sender back telling them I only got half the text, as soon as they send a new 1 to me the first half of the original message arrives. Obviously this is a great hassle, and a waste of a text for me and the sender, is there any other way to combat this problem?
Thanks

This happened when there's not enough memory left for the message that it receives. The main memory of the phone is always use in this process(it is shared with other program too); so to get multipage(span more that 160 chars) text messages successfully in which the latest Nokia phone models is capable of, one must free the main memory as much as possible. Transfer or archives your text message to external memory.
Service provider considered one text message if it does not exceed the 160 character limit. If it does, it considered it as a multi-text, and billed likeless. It send it in series of succession depending how busy the network.

HI - new mac user here
When trying to view certain sites i receive the following text: "missing plug in" can anyone assist?
I think it is related to viewing video or clips.....

Well, if you're using Chrome, or Firefox go here this should also work with Safari. It will let you know if Flash is already installed in your browser. If your using Chrome it should have been intergrated. Were you able to get Flash installed so you can view video clips? Post back to let us know. Hope this helps. Also install Perian. See if that helps as well.
