Flash Book is really inflexible and annoying

I'm trying to convert a document that was completely written
on Macromedia Flash Book to PDF, DOC, or some other format where I
can actually print the document and search for words within the
document. But on Flash book, none of this is possible. (I wonder if
the creator actually thought about publishing the doc in PDF
instead?)
Anyways, the only solution I've found was something called
Flash Handout, which claims to convert the Flash Book SWF to PDF.
But it's $99 and there has to be some other solution. I could also
take a screenshot of each and every frame (the document totals over
200 pages) and convert the image to text through OCR, but that is
too time consuming.
Please, help me.

Thank you sooooo much! I downloaded Swifter app and find it to be useless, I asked for a refund and they said I would have to go thru Apple.

Do you just want to delete the music or wipe the whole phone since you've switched to the other one?
If you plug the old iPhone into your computer you can remove stuff via iTunes or remove stuff directly from the iPhone too.

Really weird and annoying problem

When I double click on a waveform (I forget the name of that small window that comes up), and play back just that one audio object in that window, it acts like it has a really extreme gate on it, only letting through very loud sounds, while the rest is just quiet. This is extremely annoying because I want to edit certain parts, and I can't find out what I need to select because I can't hear anything. Suggestions?

does it sounds like it's double the speed from the original?distorted?
is it an apple loop the audio you trying to open in the sample editor?

Vibrating mechanism all of a sudden has become really loud and annoying....

As the title states, my Iphone 4 all of a sudden one day started vibrating really loud, even outside of the case. I took my phone to the genius bar but they said that it was within normal working parameters. Problem is, I have another Iphone 4 and no joke, the vibration is 10 times louder. In some cases, I can hear the phone vibrating louder than I can the ring tone. It really is annoying and the vibrating feature is really useful especially when my son is taking naps.
Anyone have similar issues? And if so, how was it resolved?
thanks

If you have a newer iPod that can mulit-task, try turning off the other Apps.
If you have an older iPod, (that cannot multi-task), then try re-starting the iPod.

Really weird and annoying noise

When I use iChat (video chat) I get this really weird interference or noise, won't start at first but I hear it building up then it gets to be too loud and I can't hear anyone. And only I can hear it. To describe it, it sounds almost like a helicoptor or something and kind of like a pulsing static that changes volume. If anyone knows how to fix this I would reaally appreciate any tips.

its not high pitched and im the only one that can hear it. im using a Logitech USB headset and im wondering would the sound not occur if i just use the internal mic and speakers in the iMac. but im concerned that any sound coming through the speakers would be immediately picked up by the mic.
oh and also the person i chat with is using a pc but like i said im the only one that sound occurs to and its really really annoying.

Really interesting (and annoying) problem with Adobe on my printer...

Hi all,
I hope you'll be able to help me with this one, it is making me crazy. First, my configuration :
Mac OS X 10.4.11 (iMac G5)
Adobe Reader Version 8.1.2
Printer HP LaserJet P1005
I can print normally the usual pdf (have done it before and it is working perfectly). But I have just subscribe to a service which sends me "secured" pdf (I had to install a FileOpenWeb key; I can read those pdfs only on this computer and cannot edit them but I can print them - it is well specified in the security properties of the document and I contacted the supplier of the pdfs to confirm that it should be working). So I can open and read the pdf, but when I try to print them, Adobe crashes. Every time, without even popping up the usual print window. I just click on the prnter button and Adobe closes itself. If you know how to solve that problem, that would really be appreciated (a lot).
Thanks in advance,
Henri

New versions of Flash have a panel installed on your system for control of settings.
In Windows XP, Windows Start > Settings > Control Panel > Flash Player, click on each tab and change the "Ask..." setting. Most likely your prompts are coming from the "Storage" tab. Using any of the "Block..." settings may make Flash inoperative on some sites.

Backup your data off the machine to a external drive (not TimeMachine) and disconnect.
Create another Admin account in System Preferences and log into it, delete your Admin Account and reboot.
Optional: Open Disk Utility and Erase Free Space (Zero good enough, 7x for military level, both take time)
This should be good enough to remove just your account and data without the hassle of reinstalling the OS and all new programs again.
However if you need that level, then c boot off the 10.6 disk (or command r boot on Lion) and use Disk Utility there to Zero or 7x erase the OSX drive/partition, quit and reinstall OS X. Much more work that likely is unnecessary in your case.
Good Luck.

Why doesn't my IPad purchases no longer transfer to my IPhone 4S. I am really getting very annoyed with Apple and their products.

I have never had issues with purchases made on my IPad or IPhone transferring to the other device. Today, I purchased a song from ITunes on my IPad and it didn't transfer/sync to my IPhone 4S. I tried syncing my phone on for the song on my MacBook Pro, and I got this crazy (and annoying) message stating I can't transfer the song for NINETY DAYS! What did Apple do to ITunes and why? I am getting so frustrated with Apple that if this continues, I will never again purchase another Apple product.

There should be no reason you can't sync your itunes library to your iphone...
Plug your phone into itunes... click on the iphone that is in the corner.. .it usually says your name... such as Lisa's iphone or whatever... then you will see some tabs such as... summary, music, videos, photos... on each one of those you need to check what you want to sync to your iphone. Once you check those boxes then click apply then scroll down and sync... do that one each section -photos, music etc...
Apple doesn't want you to buy things over... that's why when you buy something trough itunes you can download it as many times as you want for life!

Judge a flash book by its recommendations

I went to Waterstones to look for Flash CS5 How To - Tips and Tricks publications. Something along the lines of the WoW books for Photoshop and Illustrator. To my surprise, they had a grand array of none, absolutely nothing - not one single book. Considering CS5.5 is already out, I very much doubt they will be getting any stock in soon either on CS5 since it's out of date already.
So . . . Has anyone purchased a good Flash CS5 guide book that they would recommend. I am looking for a book more geared towards Web Design in Flash as opposed to Animation in it's traditional sense. I was hoping to find a book that Deconstructs some of those Super Funky Websites like - Waterlife CarlCox or Knekt and let's us newbies in on the act - one that reveals the really clever and controlled uses of flash.
As much as I love Animation it's not my thing. I am much more interested in the Design and Interactive Nature that Flash can bring to websites.
If you know of a good book - please let me know and maybe I can order it on-line since my local bookshop has nothing to offer.
thanks

Thanks,
But I do need somtimes books from previous generation, 1.0.2.2, 9.0.2, DB books, eBusiness Suite core tech books, and so on.
Seems that a basic feature - you have the book part number, but you cant find it by this number - is missing.

Can I render a Flash frame as a bitmap and send it over TCP/IP?

I want to draw some combination of bitmaps, flash shapes, vectors, text etc and draw them programmatically into my movie using ActionScript, and then get every "rendered" pixel of my movie (at 100% view) into an array that I send to another program over TCP/IP. Can anyone help me here?
The first part of the question is if its possible to render a frame that is a collection of Flash elements as a bitmap? I know that I can iterate through a bitmap and get every pixel using the getPixel method but I'm trying to access the final rendered frame displayed on my screen, including, as I said Flash shapes and text.
The second question is what would be the best way to send this "video frame" over TCP/IP? Would I use an XML socket connection? That is the only way I know how to send data out of Flash over TCP/IP but I don't know if it is the only way - the help page says the data needs to be formatted as XML, which seems unwieldly for this application.
I'm doing this now by using Max/MSP/Jitter to do a screen capture the size and location of my Flash movie and then send out the resulting matrix using a "jit.net.send" object (which lets you send frames of video over TCP/IP), but this is too clumsy for the installation I am building.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
-bob

Thanks! That was exactly what I was looking for in the first half of the question. And I guess the draw() method works in AS2 as well as AS3. I will test it but from what I understand, I can use a Bitmap as kind of my bottom-level container, then create (in ActionScript) a movie clip that can contain other movie clips or drawing API commands or whatever, animate these various elements then finally draw() them into the bitmap. I see that in AS3 I can even use getPixels or getVector to capture the full "video frame" in one line of code.
Thanks rothrock, for the helpful links. My application is kind of unusual, in that I'm sending "video" data to a proprietary LED controller box for display on a low resolution LED display. I connect to the box over TCP/IP and send it "frames of video" 20 times a second. I got this to work with this other content and software (Max/MSP/Jitter) and I want to see how I could capture all the rendered pixel data in successive frames of Flash animation, format it properly, then send it over TCP/IP to this controller box. Don't really now enough about the various flavors of TCP/IP connections to figure out how to do this in Flash, and I know there are security limitations built in to Flash that have to be worked around. But my movies are small (say 96 pixels by 72 pixels) and I need to send uncompressed data directly to my controller box, so these interesting links showing how to use server-side scripts to create jpgs or pngs are probably not going to help me. I will hopefully find a higher-level programmer than myself to work this out, and I think some of the techniques here will hopefull prove to be helpful.
Thanks again for your help!

Remove age from birthday notification: I don't know the years most of my contacts were born, so I keep getting a default year 2000 birthdate. How can I turn off the age (xxth birthday) in Birthday Calendar - it really is very annoying!

Tim

Where do you see the default birthday showing as Nov. 30? If you can explain that, I can probably modify the below script to do that clean up.
In response to the original problem:
I'm not sure why I missed the original reply, but here is an Applescript that will change all the years of any selected contacts to 1604 (default for no year).
tell application "Contacts"
          set thePeople to selection
          repeat with aPerson in thePeople
                    set theDate to birth date of aPerson
                    if theDate is not missing value then
                              set the year of theDate to 1604
                              set birth date of aPerson to theDate
                    end if
          end repeat
end tell
copy and paste it into a new Applescript Editor document. Select all the contacts you want to change (in Contacts), then run this script by clicking on the green Run button in Applescript Editor.

Program is really laggy and horrible

For some strange reason, when I tried to add some more
functions to my code, the program became really laggy and things
such as the shadows started to have horrible quality. Aside from
that, the screen does not clear the old lines from the screen, so
it keeps making an "array" of lines, if you will. Not exactly sure
what's wrong; I've looked through the code several times and am
stumped. I need your help! Thanks so much in advance.

Well, I'm not sure what exactly I added to make it do this,
but what I've discovered is that when the problem occurs, and I
"undo" to the last stable compiling, the error still occurs. I have
to close Flash and reopen the file to make it go away. But if I've
saved, I have to make a brand new file (basically by copying the
library and Actionscript over, thus "cloning" the file). Not sure
what this could all mean.
