FX Brushes won't allow paint on for Sharpness or brightness etc.
Hi! I am a photographer- looking for a fun phone app. I have played with the FX brushes on an image. I can paint on black and white (after I select the brush on the left then the effect from the bottom options) but doing the exact same process, I can not select to brush on brightness or sharpness to a certain area.
Why?
Thanks!!
Click the Selection Tool (The Black Arrow)
Choose Select > Select All from the menu
Hold down the Shift key, and click the photo.
This should leave you with everything elected except the photo
It may help to spend a bit of time playing with random shapes and objects, and reviewing the help files for the tools, in order to learn the basics of selecting objects in Illustrator. Illustrator isn't always as intuative as Photoshop and many have trouble if they simply jump right in.

Why won't Live Paint work for me?
Synopsis: Illustrator won't let me use Live Paint, or rather, Live Paint won't let me use it. I tested it out on a random file by creating shapes with some of the tools and it worked fine. However, with any image I try to use, it won't work. This is what it says anytime I try to select the area and color in.
It also doesn't allow me to use Image Tracing. I don't know if the two are connected or not, but I find it strange.
I'm going to explain all the steps I went through from start to finish to create the image.
First, I took the picture using a digital camera (naturally.) Then I uploaded the pictures to iPhoto. I can't remember if I edited it or not, but if I did, it was mostly cropping. I then placed the picture on my desktop and took it to Photoshop. There I put it to grayscale and messed with the levels to give some contrast. I then saved it as JPEG. After that I put it in Illustrator and I started tracing it. The blue in the picture was traced in Layer 1, while the red was in Layer 2. (I thought that maybe had something to do with it, but I highlighted just the red and had the same problem as before.)
So yeah, I'm at a standstill...can't get anything done at this point. It's CS6 for Mac. It's possible I screwed with something without even realizing it (I am new to this), but if I did...what did I do? And can I fix it?Click the Selection Tool (The Black Arrow)

Mount point won't allow read/write for non-root user
Any ideas why this particular fstab line leads to root user only read/write for any disk referenced in my fstab?
Example:
UUID=496E-7B5E /media/STORAGE vfat defaults 0 0
I have tried all variations of what "defaults" should be (rw,suid,dev,exec)
I had even added uid=0777, and no matter what options I add there, doing
sudo mount -a
or with the line in fstab commented out and
mount -t vfat -U 496E-7B5E /media/STORAGE -o defaults
causes the same issue.
Results in every filesystem there to be mounted as read only for me as a user, and I can only write to them as root.
Weird
I have run
sudo chmod -v -R a+rwx /media/STORAGE
and similarly
sudo chmod -v -R 0777 /media/STORAGE
Both were tried on the directory as mounted and unmounted. When mounted, the verbose output DOES NOT error out and shows property change of the files
Oddly, if no fstab reference is used, the disk shows up in the dolphin panel, and can be mounted in that manner and it is read write as a usual user.
Using a Chakra-live installed with Unetbootin, so perhaps that is the issue... so
How is mounting through dolphin handled and what might I use at the command line to accomplish this same routine, as I only need one partition to mount read write when the system starts, so maybe I can add the command to rc.local

I bought a used iMac recently, and sometimes the app store asks for the user password of the previous owner (and displays former owner's ID). It won't allow me to change ID to mine, even though I am signed into store with my own account (and this is shown in dropdown menu). How can I make the store recognize my ID for downloads?
It is showing updates because your machine is tied to the original purchase and will remain so until you wipe the drive.
As you purchased it used and the seller obviously did not do what he was supposed to do and that is erase the hard drive and reinstall the original system, you will run in to far more difficult problems when you need to reinstall for whatever reason. The new licensing requirements are that any mac is sold with the original OS - any OS or app obtained at the app store is NOT transferable and the buyer needs to purchase their own license. That means you will not be able to reinstall the OS.
At some point, you will need to try to get either the original install disks (from the seller or Apple) and wipe your drive and reinstall. Then you can download your own licensed copy of Mavericks and any apps you want. -
My iPhone 4s won't allow me to scan for any networks and won't even pull up wifi networks near by. How do I fix this?

This process does not appear to work for me. I'm running 10.8.3. I created a new user for a guest staying with me. They have gone now and I am attempting to either change the password or delete the user. It won't allow me to choose the user I created. I am logged in as myself and it states that I am an "Admin". The user I'm attempting to change is listed as a "standard" user and there is a white checkmark inside an orange circular background on the user pic in the list of users.
Can someone help me? I am having a hard time believing that OSx will allow me to create users and allow them use of my computer and it's drives, yet it will not allow me to change the password so I can monitor what they might have been doing while logged on? What if this were my child? This guest left under sketchy circumstances, and I'd really like to be able to ensure they were not using my computer to do illegal things or to have illegal communications.
Any help would be appreciated. (It's odd that it was so simple to "create" a user and set a password for them.......but it's complicated or a little known process to reverse.
Thanks.Here are two screen shots to show you what I am seeing. The first screen shot shows it allowing me to select (highlighted in blue) my admin user (which is what I am locced in as). The second screen shot shows it allowing me to select the "Guest" user (highlighted in blue). However when I click on the user "Orion" nothing happens. It will not change to highlight that user.

My Time Capsule won't allow my computer to back up. It says it is already in use but that is what it is being used for. It has been working fine for years. All of a sudden I keep getting a message that TC (time capsule) cannot complete back up as it is already in use. I am doing the backups automatically through Time Capsule.
Restart the Time Capsule by disconnecting and reconnecting the power adapter. When it's back online, open the AirPort Utility application and check to see whether there's a firmware update for it.

I have FaceTime on my Macbook Pro but want to add it to my Mac Pro v. 10.6.8. Since I've previously purchased it in the app store, it won't allow me to purchase it again. Can I use the same app for both of my computers? If so, how do I access the app to download it?
If you upgrade to Lion it comes bundeled with it!
To get it on your Mac Pro just copy the aplication from the aplication folder on your MacBook. You can do this via a thumb drive or over a local network connection. -
How can I install a driver for HP Laserjet P3005. My mac won't allow installation?
My macbook won't allow em to install the driver for HP Laserjetp3005. Any ideas?
Apple suppies all the drivers for all the printers that work with any specific os x version. Just go to the Print & scan section of system preferences and Add Printer (Plus ( + ) Sign) and if it is supported the driver will be there.

What can I do for an Ipod that won't update, won't allow you to eject it, and can't reset either? I can simply unplug it from my pc and after a while it runs down and works fine after a charge. Wanting to clear data and sell but nothing seems to work. The ipod was originally set up on a different computer and with a different I tunes account as well. Would that make any difference?
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
- Next try the manual install method of:
iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
- Then try on another computer -

We have a gift card for iTunes that was purchased in the United States and we live in Canada and iTunes won't allow us to redeem it. Is there any way we can exchange it?
Sorry, but as KP guessed, Apple will not exchange the card, and you are correct that you can't use a US iTunes card in Canada. You will need to give or sell it to someone in the US.
Regards.
