Guide and grid snapping going crazy - help!

I'm having real problems when snapping bezier paths to guides and grids. As you can see in the video, it seems to snap to SOMETHING, but not the grid or guide, it's driving me crazy. Even more annoying, sometimes it works perfectly. Anyone know what the heck is going on? I have turned off the "new" snapping feature and just checked "snap to guides" in the VIEW menu.
After Effects CC 2014 (latest)
OSX 10.9.5
Mac Pro 2013 (12 core)
Please help, I'm on a huge project that is pure shape layers, and not being able to snap to guides is a nightmare.
Thanks!
Rory.

Sorry, I cannot replicate your issue. I've tried having 8 shapes and masks and switching the pixel aspect ratio conversion on and off and switching the grid on and off and switching guides on and off and switching all of the snap functions in and out in various combinations.
A very long time ago, when grids were new, I had changed the color of the grid to white. when I started working on a white layer later in the project I was freaked out that the grid had malfunctioned but it had simply been made invisible by the user. I spent hours on the After Effects AOL forum before I figured it out. This is not related to your problem, clearly, but these things are often less weird than they seem.

  • I do not have the people and media tabs to allow me to import photos from my iPhotos ,i only have the elive, quick,  guided and expert tabs, can anyone help please?

    Hi,
      Im having problems importing from my iPhotos, i just bought photoshop elements 13 and mac book at the same time and am on a bit of a learning curve, i noticed that on all tutorials there were People and Media tabs which i cannot see, all i can see is elive, Quick, Guided and Expert, can anyone please help?
    Many Thanks In advance

    Elements consists of two separate but interrelated programs: the editor, where you work on your photos, and the organizer, which you can use to organize them. You are looking in the editor. To see the organizer, click the organizer button in the welcome screen or at the bottom of the editor.
    Now, do you want to keep your photos in iphoto or in the organizer? That's a choice you must make, sooner or later. The organizer does include a get photos from>iphoto command, but that will copy all the photos in your iphoto library to a new location and make organizer databases for the copies. Is that what you want to do, or do you want to use iphoto to organize your photos, in which case you would not use the PSE organizer?

    To DPS Users,
    Is there any way to show guide and grid lines on the iPad when using DPS to build folios.

    Not without drawing them yourself or using screenshots.

    Hi there,
    Yes it does. Please read this training manual that is supplied by apple that clearly states that it does.

    hi
    i have an iphone 4s and has not been a year yet no water damage but there is a white cloudy screen around the edges and will start going crazy with different colors and all someone please gel what is wrong with it?

    I switched the usb port and did the whole recovery holding of the buttons ect... And it worked, the computer detected the phone and i was able to click restore. However, the computer says preparing iphone for restore and it is still doing the restarting thing where the apple fades away and then comes back like it is restarting. If i can somehow get past this i will be able to go back to factory settings and resolve my problem, but this is where i am stuck.

  • HT1595 Help w/Apple TV2 and home network--going crazy!

    This is maddening.  i have Apple TV 2nd Gen and it CONSTANTLY does this:  my network appears, shows strong signal, but it is not connected to internet.  OVER and OVER again.  Please help!
    Other facts--we have a Bose Surround Sound system that has all compenents plugged into it.  I can see my network when I hit network, but if I go to configure WiFi, it has to search, then shows mine (sometimes) and I have to select it, type in u/n and password, and then it says "cannot connect to server".  meanwhile, my macbook, ipad, pc, etc are all happily connected to my WiFi.  And again, back to network and it shows my home net with strong signal.  This is the most irritating, irrational maddening process and I can't seem to figure it out!!!!  Can't see movies, can't test network because can't connect to iTunes, can't even see my home sharing to show pictures from my macbook.  ARGH.
    I have tried restarting my Apple TV, restarting my wireless router, typing in my credentials, trying to run test network (since it shows it's connected but isn't), all to no avail.  My partner wants me to pitch it out the window.  I want to love it but it's making me crazy.
    Can anyone help me??

    Follow up:  It appears to have been caused by the Bose system.  We have multiple areas that can be controlled by the Bose console.  Playing another area (outdoor speakers) via one source (satellite) was interfering with playing the Apple TV in the den on the television.  Apparently. 

  • My black berry tour 9300 is going crazy help ASAP!

     I went away for a week and the second day my phone started going crazy. It would freeze and type in huhuhuhuhuhuhuhu until the whole thing was filled with it and when i try to type "hahahaha" it ends up like this "huahuahuahua" i first thought that maybe i got sand in it so i brought that air duster you use for keyboards on computers it helped a little but its still freezing i still cant type in words or use my key board or my enter button, end button, and menu button. What can i do? it also took my pictures and deleted them. HELP ME PLEASE!!!

    It sounds like what I have seen multiple times on a device with moisture damage.
    Even sitting on a bathroom counter during a hot steamy shower or bath can cause keyboard and trackball problems UNTIL properly dried out.
    It really is more common than you think.
    1. Remove the battery immediately!! Do not attempt to turn on your BlackBerry.
    2. Let the device dry in a warm, dry place for 3 to 5 days* (see below)
    3. DO NOT "check it each day" by placing the battery in. Leave it be to dry completely. This takes time. Replacing the battery to check it can only damage it more (moisture + electrical current = disaster).
    3. If the device is warm after the drying period, allow it to cool to room temperature before placing the battery back in.
    *Suggestions on drying your BlackBerry in a warm place (open, with the battery out):
    Place the BB in a container of dry UNcooked rice, and then you might also place it in any of the locations mentioned below.
    On top of any dry heat emitting electronic component: TV cabinet or CRT, LCD, cable TV/Satellite converter box or plasma monitor
    On the dashboard of your car on a sunny day

  • Rulers and Guides and Grids

    Can anyone explain why or how to get guides and rulers and grids In Premier pro 5+ ? For me it would be a very usefull set of tools to have or is there any plugins to acheive this with ?
    Any input would be greatly appreciated.

    I also create custom Guides in Photoshop, and Import those PSD's for about the same use, as Ann's tip.
    I will create those, especially for involved PiP situations, so that I can Scale & Position, to my "windows." This ARTICLE goes into a bit more detail.

  • Certain applications overwork my macbook and the fan goes crazy. Is there a fix or solution for this?

    I purchased a 13.3" MacBook Pro in February of 2010. About a month later, I began to notice that certain applications that don't require much, Safari, MSWord, iTunes, were causing the fans to kick in at crazy speeds and the base of the computer was too hot to touch. Is there a patch or fiz for this, or should I return my macbook for a new?

  • Just dowloaded newest podcast and I'm going crazy!

    Know I'm a newbie with the ipad (Yes, it has been love at first sight with my ios devices!!) but I'm going nuts with the new podcast software that I just loaded yesterday (Nov 1)
    I have the ipad4 and my software is up to date, IOS 7.0.3.  I downloaded podcasts and now when I go into my apps store the podcast software pops up and I can't get around not opening it.  I open it and end up in podcast!! 
    How am I supposed to purchase apps now? Are they doing away with the app store?? I can't buy them thru podcasts and I tried searching in itunes and I can't purchase them thru there either.
    Anyone else having this problem?? I can't even figure out how to uninstall the podcasts so it goes back to the way it was--or is that not possible.
    please tell me your experience when you open the apps store after you downloaded the latest podcast software.
    TY, Melissa

    Doug, you gave me the first giggle I've had since I opened this blasted program, so thanks for that.
    I'd love to keep secretly installing Freehand, because you can save your finished work as an Illustrator file, and I could then open it in Illustrator CS3, save the final as a CS3 EPS file and nobody would be the wiser ... except my tech department is prone to periodic look-sees on everyone's machines, there was a massive freakout that went all the way to the publisher's office when they discovered I'd installed .... wait for it .... free fonts on my machine that weren't part of the Adobe package they bought. In the end I had to yank the fonts out, despite showing them the read-me files that came with the fonts that expressly permitted usage in commercial applications. It's a very controlled environment. I now have 12 days left to start converting all my files ...
    The good news is I'm pretty sure they're going to hurl the Freehand install disc at my head when they rip it out of my work station, so I can put it on my home iMac, where I'm still running Tiger. Now to convince them to let me work from home ...
    Thanks again to everyone for all the advice,
    ~michelle

  • Guides and Objects snap back when holding to long

    When placing a new guide or resizing or moving objects these things snap back or disappear when holding the mouse button to long. I. e. when trying to position a guid I only have a few seconds to to, otherwise the guide just disappears. Same behaviour with objects. Trying to resize an object forces me to hurry up, otherwise the frame jumps back to its former position. This is new to CC 2014. Never had this bug before.
    Anyone having similar experiences?

    Just to let you know: problem is solved, it has been caused by Suitcase Fusion 5. When disabling the Plug-In, InDesign runs hassle-free.

  • My MacBook Pro Beeps and the Screen Goes Crazy

    I upgraded my RAM from 4GB to 8GB a couple months ago. Ever since then, my MacBook would freeze and the screen would get all weird and distorted, and then it continues to sound off three longish beeps. I can't do anything except hold down the power button until it shuts off. This only happens every couple of days. I'm thinking it's a RAM issue and I've already tried reseating the RAM, but it keeps happening. Anyone have any solutions? Maybe the RAM is faulty?

    Wow. Every 5th thread is someone who has a problem with their screen going black since 10.6.8

  • Mail Going Crazy - Help...

    I have had my iMac for about a 2 years now and I have never seen this happen before. I started mail to check my email and mail started pulling in 684 emails. I never have more than 10 to 20 email in a given day. Than no new emails show up in the in-box - What? I shut down my mac to do a few chores and return and boot it up and launched mail and 394 new emails, no new emails show up again - What the heck? While trying to figure this out, I checked all my mail accounts and all looked normal, but when I checked my sent box, I found probably 35 email sent today which were copies of email that I had sent months ago and I did not re-send them. Seems like mail is resending a ton of old email. Has anyone had this happen before? Recommendations on how to deal with this?
    Please help.....by the way, I running 10.5.3 which I believe is the latest version.

  • Time Machine Going Crazy (HELP)

    Hi.
    Last year I bought a 1 TB WD My Book and ever since I never had any problems with the backups, until yesterday. My internal hard drive currently has 996,13 GB and my home folder has 960, 63 GB (Above 1TB). The problem is when I try to do a backup, time machine says "This backup is too large for the backup volume. The backup requires 1,16 TB but only 996 GB are available". I tried with another 1TB external hard drive (Lacie) and is the same. Gives the same error. How can the backup is larger than the internal hard drive? What should I do?
    Without time machine and the backups I can't move to Lion (Yes It's all because of lion.)
    Thank you

    well every time you change a document for example time machine saves the new verion (and the old one), this will take a bit more space then the original file, since you now have several versions of it.
    what you can do is open your backup on the lacie, and you will see folders with dates.
    Here you can simply delete folders from a date you know you have a good backup from.
