Group Hidden Elements after using show all

In Illustrator to build files with clean grouping, you can:
hide various elements
show all hidden elements
group them
In InDesign after you show all hidden elements, the items are not selected.
Illustrator and InDesign should have a simialr interface, and can see no harm, and only a huge benefit to revising how InDesign works.
Posted this on the InDesgin forums, and nobody had a solution. As unbelievable as this sounds, appears this has been overlooked by the Adobe beta and development team.

@Mike – I rarely missed that feature the last years, but that's because I am using Illustrator not that often. If I think about it more deeply, I could imagine that such a feature would be valuable for InDesign, too…
What would help you is a script, that can do what you want. Just written one and tested. But before posting code, let's discuss the functionality a bit more:
What is possible:
1. A script that addresses all hidden page items (provided they are not locked) on the current spread, pasteboard included, unhide them, group them and selecting the group.
2. A script that addresses all hidden page items (provided they are not locked) on the current spread, pasteboard included, deselect all currently selected page items, unhide the hidden ones and select them.
That's all. No grouping…
I find the second approach more valuable, because you have the choice what you can do with the selection: delete it, group it, move it around on the spread, move it to another layer etc.pp.
Also: how about locked page items that are hidden?
Would it be good to change the document preferences (if needed) so that you could select locked obejects?
How about a message in case the script detects locked and hidden page items that let you choose:
[ ] include locked and hidden page items
My script is in development, so I want to discuss the above points, before proceeding.
It's written in JavaScript (ExtendScript) so that it can be used on Mac OS or Windows OS.
And: you could assign a keyboard shortcut to the script…

HT201274 After using erase all content and settings what will the passcode be?

After using erase all contens and settings, will the passcode revert to 0000?

There will be no passcode. The phone will be returned to it's out of the box state. If you did not turn off Find my iPhone before wiping it, you will need to sign in with the Apple ID and password that the phone is locked with.

I have no 'imports and exports' option after opening 'show all bookmarks'. How do I import from a backup file?

I am running Firefox 6 under Ubuntu 11.04 .

Ubuntu 11.04 displays window menus in the control bar at the top of the screen with the switch to the Unity window manager
*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Unity
Click on Bookmarks/Show All Bookmarks then move your mouse to the left upper corner toward Firefox Web Browser.
You'll get pop up menu (Organize, Views and Import and Backup).
*[[/questions/822193]]

In version 4.0b11 there is no equivalent to "Organize Bookmarks". On a previous query I was told to use "Show all Bookmarks". But that only lets me delete single bookmarks or folders. In v3.6 I could select large groups of bookmarks.

As a result of accidental import of older bookmarks I have hundreds of entries to remove. When I attempt to remove them even singly, Firefox hangs for a long time after a few removals. I"ll never get done at this rate.
Is there another technique to do this?

You can use this extension to find and delete duplicate bookmarks. <br />

Lion OS - Viewing one window/application at a time after using Show Desktop

Please note I am using a MacBook, but it is connected to a monitor and I use an external Apple keyboard, so those are the shortcuts I am using.
In Snow Leopard, when I had a lot of windows open and I wanted to, say, drag a file from the desktop into a specific folder in the Finder, I used to use F11 to show the desktop, then choose the Finder from the dock, and that is the only one that would appear. Then I could could easily drag files from the desktop into a folder, etc.
Now when I try Command+F3 to show the desktop, and choose the Finder, all of the windows I have open repopulate the screen, with the Finder on top - obscuring the desktop.
Is there a way to quickly sweep away extra windows and choose only ONE to view at a time? (e.g., so the only thing you see on the screen is that one window and the desktop?)
Many thanks in advance!

Has anyone experienced text going missing after using Change All in the Find Font dialogue box?

I manage an artwork production studio and two members of staff have separately reported that when using the Change All command to substitute fonts in InDesign's Find Font dialogue box, some text disappears from their documents. All affected text is originally set in the same font, and most of the conversion is fine but a few instances of text are actually removed (not reflowed). In the latest reported case, only four or five instances of text were 'deleted' across two pages of a 20pp document.
I've found a link that refers to the same issue but it's unresolved (http://www.listsearch.com/InDesign/Thread/index.lasso?20041#last)
I haven't been able to replicate this behaviour but would be interested to know if anyone else has experienced it and if so, under what circumstances it can occur, and what work-rounds or fixes are available.
Applies to InDesign CS3 and CS4, have not tested with CS5 because we haven't upgraded yet.

Joel, I am having the same problem you described. I have read of similar posts on PrintPlanet.com. Someone there thought it was a different text engine or something in CS4 which may be causing the problem.
I don't know what causes this but I believe it can be traced to a previously created file in CS3 is saved as a CS4 document.
The fonts associated with this problem for me are always Gill Sans, Palatino and some form of Helvetica. There may be others but these are the ones we notice the most.
Today I worked on an InDesign CS4 file. When I opened it I was given a missing font warning. I went to Find Font and it was different typefaces of Gill Sans that was missing. When I changed the missing font to Gill Sans Regular entire lines of text disappeared. I closed the document without saving it and reopened it. I did the same thing in replacing fonts. This time no text disappeared. Not reflowed; not white; not hidden—gone.
This is what I have been seeing for the past few months. The disappearing text is random and cannot be duplicated, though fonts may disappear in some other place. You never know where text will just disappear.
The workaround I have found is to export your file to an INX document and reopen it in CS3. You have to replace all missing text before saving it as INX, though. To my knowledge CS3 has never had this happen.
The workaround, though it works for me, is annoying. I'd like to know what to do to resolve this issue. What's the use in having CS4 if you can't trust it completely.
I use a Mac running 10.6.3. I also have running Suitcase Fusion 2.

GROUP BY a single field, show all fields

I have this table:
CREATE TABLE Prices(ServiceType VARCHAR2(30), EffectiveDate DATE, Fee NUMBER, Commission NUMBER, PRIMARY KEY(ServiceType, EffectiveDate));
I am trying to write an SQL query to get the ServiceTypes and Fees. However, I only want those with the most recent EffectiveDate.
This is what I have so far:
SELECT ServiceType, Fee, MAX(EffectiveDate) FROM Prices GROUP BY ServiceType;
But that doesn't work because GROUP BY has to be followed by all selected attributes. Does anyone know how to write that query? Thanks in advance,
Nader

Why dont you use a sub query liek below:
SELECT ServiceType
            , Fee
            , EffectiveDate
FROM Prices    out
WHERE EffectiveDate = ( SELECT MAX(EffectiveDate)
                                         FROM Prices   in
                                      WHERE in.ServiceType = out.ServiceType
                                           AND in.Fee              = out.Fee
                                  GROUP BY ServiceType
                                                  , Fee
                                    );Regards

Photoshop Elements 11 not showing all options

I have a full version of Adobe Elements 11; as I am working on my son's senior pictures I noticed that I cannot chose all the options anymore. No layering, some of the effects are not working. Has anyone had these issues and how do I fix it?

Are you in Expert mode (click the word Expert at the top of the screen if it isn't highlighted). If that's not it, do you have a 16-bit image (look at the top of the image window or tab--do you see an 8 or a 16?). If it's a 16-bit image, then image>mode>8 bits/channel.

My iPhone shut off about an hour ago after using it all day and it was fine... i thoguht the battery died but its been plugged in for 20 minutes and still doesnt turn on.... any body ever have this problem? What else do i need to do? Thanks!

My kerning is off in Elements after using a template I purchased, how do I fix it? I've tried asian tools to no avail.

I used a template from an online shop that I ALWAYS buy my templates from, it screwed up the kerning on ALL my fonts. There is almost a full space between the letters. I've tried adjusting the asian options but it did absolutely nothing. What can I do? I have uninstalled and re-installed!

You can try doing a PRAM reset. To do this shutdown your MBP. With your lefthand hold down the option+command keys. Power on the MBP, and immediately with your righthand little finger hold down the P key and with your righthand index finger hold down the R key. So you have the option+command keys and the P&R keys held down. Wait until you hear the Apple chime twice, release the keys and let the MBP boot up. Try that and see if it helps. Follow up and let us know if that worked for you.

Is it possible to recover anything after using "restore all settings and content" button?

Anyone has any idea about this? The iPod Touch has not been linked to iTunes yet.

Maybe only:
Recover iPod - iPod Data Recovery Software for Windows & Mac OS X
Recover files from iPod Touch | Restore data iPod | iPod touch undelete, unformat
iPhone Recovery Stick - recover deleted text messages & more
However, nobody has posted that they work.

Show all the possible combinations of n elements in an array???

If I have an array of n elements, how to show all the possible combinations of n elements.
What is the java library for doing the combinations??
For example,
public class CombinationTest
{     public static void main(String[] args)
     {     ArrayList letters = new ArrayList();
          leters.add("s1");
          leters.add("s2");
          leters.add("s3");
Find all the combinations of 3 elements: C(3,2). Here's the result:
1) s1, s2
2) s1, s3
3) s2, s3
}

There isn't a built-in API method for this. Still, combinations are pretty easy. Pseudocode (borrowing notation from ML and GJ, and assuming immutable sets): Set<Set<Object>> getCombinations(int itemsInCombo, Set<Object> itemsToCombine)
    // Handle base case and exceptional cases
    if (itemsInCombo = 0) return Set.emptySet();
    if (itemsInCombo < 0) throw new Exception("?!");
    // Recursive case
    Object o = itemsToCombine.first(); // use iterator - may throw exception
    // Get combos with first element
    Set<Set<Object>> rv = map (x => x.add(o)) getCombinations(itemsInCombo - 1, itemsToCombine.remove(o));
    // Add combos without first element
    rv.add(getCombinations(itemsInCombo, itemsToCombine.remove(o)));
    return rv;
}

I used up all minutes with a monthly subscription ...

My question is if there is a way to continue calling WITHOUT using skype credit after using up all minutes of subscriptions. Is there any?
Here's my situation:
I purchased a monthly subscription and the service started 3/11/15. I used up all the 400 minutes on 4/2/15. With an intension of starting a NEW subscription that would start 4/2, I first cancelled the existing subscription (that started on 3/11/15 and was scheduled to renew on 4/11/15) and received an email confirmation for that. Then, I got a new subscription (for the same country and for the same duration which is one month as the initial one) and confirmed that it was charged on my paypal account. I also received an email notification for the subscription delivery. It said the transaction date was 4/3/15. So I thought I could start calling on 4/3.
Today is 4/3 and I still can't call. I checked my account, and to my surprise, it has been updated to show that my initial subscription is back!? That is the one that starts on the 11th of the month, and the current remaining minutes shows as 0 (zero.) It tells me that I will be able to start calling on 4/11. It appears that my attempt to cancel one subscription and get a new one (with a new start date) did not work since the initial one appears to keep coming back.
Isn't it possible to cancel an existing subscription completely and sign up a new one with a new start date? I'm trying not to purchase skype credit together with subscriptions.
Thanks
Solved!

1. If I cancel my existing 400 minutes to Japan landline subscription today 4/3, and sign up for a new one for 120 minutes today 4/3, when will I be able to start using the new subscription? Is it alomost "instant?"
2. how will I get the refund for the initial subscription? Will it be refunded automatically, or do I have to go through special procedure for refund request?
3. what time zone am I supposed to use when you say "your minutes will be added on April 12th 2015." What time of what time zone on 4/12/15?
Hello
1. You don't have to cancel your existing 400 minutes Subscription unless you want to. You can have both. Yes - the new one will be activated within 1 to 2 hours of purchase.
2. Subscriptions aren't refundable. If you wish to stop the recurring payments you should cancel the Subscription at your account page. Cancellation will be effective on your current billing period renewal date.
3. One minute after midnight UTC/GMT.
TIME ZONE - US EASTERN. LOCATION - PHILADELPHIA, PA, USA.
I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac

Show all layers CS5

How do I show all layers as visible? If I have sub-layers turned off, they don't turn on when I use show all layers.

Works for me.
Hidden objects aren’t displayed by this command, only hidden layers and sub layers.
Show all layers can be found in the layers flyout menu, only can be found if you have a hidden layer.

Bookmarks Toolbar does not appear in "Show All Bookmarks"

I keep all my bookmarks in the Bookmarks Toolbar folder. All are intact and functional. They appear to back up properly (i.e., viewing a newly-created json file with MS Notepad, I find nothing to suggest that anything is missing). BUT, I can't actually view/organize these (or any other) bookmarks in the Library. After clicking "Show All Bookmarks," the main Library pane that opens is empty. In the navigation pane at the left, there is an entry "+ All Bookmarks," suggesting there's an expandable tree there. Clicking on the "+" has no effect; no expanded tree in the Nav pane, no bookmarks in the main pane. In short, I have no way to organize my existing bookmarks, even though they are intact and functional.

Thanks for the prompt reply.
I tried your SafeMode suggestion. There was no change in the performance of the Bookmark Library; it still opens blank and the "+ All Bookmarks" will not expand.
I skimmed through a few hundred other questions and answers and found a handful of others with what appears to be a similar problem. I'm currently looking at this:
[[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox|Locked or damaged places.sqlite]]
I tried the backup/restore solution. I creating a new backup, verifying that it was current by adding a new bookmark just before backing up, and then checking the json file to be sure it was there. No problem. I did a restore: all bookmarks look like they're still OK, but there was no change in the performance of the Library window.
I'll try CHKDSK next, before I attempt a full rebuild of places.sqlite.
