Handles are stacked; won't move individually.

I am working on adjusting a leaf shape drawn with the pen tool in Illustrator CS5. On the inside corners of the shape, I see two handles, but one is on top of the other, and I cannot move each handle separately. Is there a way to separate the two handles so I can adjust each side of the shape? See the yellow elipses (handles inside).
Thanks for any help you can offer—this is making me crazy!

O.k., I'm not exactly sure what made it work today, but after having closed down the file & Illustrator overnight, I tried again to adjust the handles on those anchor points.
Using the convert anchor point tool would change between a smooth & corner point, but when it was a corner point, I could still not move the handles independently.
I tried another approach (which did not work yesterday) before trying Jacob's suggestion; I used the direct selection tool to drag the path so that two separate handles at the point would be required to make the shape. I was then able to adjust the handles to achieve the shaping I was looking for.
I'm posting this in hopes that anyone else encountering the problem will find it helpful.
Thank you all for your helpful suggestions!

I just noticed that some of the movies I had in iTunes did not get transferred to the iPhone. The missing movies are shown as generic movie icons in the iTunes panel. How do I get the original movies to show up again and transfer to the iPhone?

I just noticed that some of the movies I had in iTunes did not get transferred to the iPhone 5. The missing movies are shown as generic movie icons in the iTunes panel and are checked to select them. But they do not show up in iPhone Videos. How do I get the original movies to show up again and transfer to the iPhone? I recently upgraded Mac OS to 10.6.8

1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.

I disconnected my iPad unconsciously while it was updating ios 7.0.4 and it just stuck on that screen showing apple logo and a loading bar that just won't move on what to do now ????

It's not uncommon for it to not work the first time and sometimes, you have to try it a few times. Turn off your antivirus software and your firewall while you are trying to restore the iPad. Enable them again after you restore.
If that still won't work, post back with detailed information as to what exactly does happen as you go through the process.

Dear Phillip,
Thank you for contacting Samsung Electronics.
We understand that you are not able to movies on the iPad on the TV. We are sorry to say that you can connect devices which are DLNA compatible and PC or laptops which are
installed with PC Share manager. If the iPad supports DLNA, you can connec it to the TV and play the files
supported by the TV. The TV supports following file video types : MKV, AVI, MP4, WMV, MPEG, MPG, ASF, 3GP, TS, TP, TRP. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us.
Thank you.
Samsung Online Support.
Any help?

What method of connection are you trying to use? DLNA looks like a standard for sharing media between devices over your home network, but I'm fairly certain the iPad doesn't support this protocol. Apple sell adaptors to connect your iPad directly to TV using composite or HDMI connectors. I'd be surpsied if your TV won't support either of those.

Flex 4 Chart title won't move when positioned

Hi,
I have an issue with my horizontal chart title in my Flex 4 bar chart--it just won't move when I try to position it someplace other than the default (which is center).
I followed the example in the livedocs: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=charts_displayingdata_05.html, specifically the one using the 'titleRenderer" property of the AxisRenderer, and setting it to my custom AxisRenderer class. Here is my code:
package classes.view
    import mx.charts.*;
    import mx.charts.chartClasses.ChartLabel;
    public class ChartTitleRenderer extends ChartLabel
        public function ChartTitleRenderer()
            super();
        override protected function updateDisplayList(w:Number, h:Number):void {
            super.updateDisplayList(w, h);
            this.setStyle("textAlign","left");
Setting the textAlign property doesn't work. I have tried setting this property in the css as well and applying it directly to the axis, which also doesn't work. I have also tried "this.x = -100" etc, to no effect. Any ideas?
Thanks

Ray,
To do the "masking" that you are referring to, I think that two Effects (explore each, to see which works best for you), will give you what you want:
The Crop Effect, applied to the Still Images in Video Track 3. This Effect can be Keyframed to change, as is required over time.
The 4-Point Garbage Matte Effect.
If the Still on Video 2 is sized to the Frame of the Project, say 1920 x 1080 for Full-HD, it will "cover" the Video on Video Track 1.
Note: it is best to Scale the Still Images to very close to what you want/need, in PS, or PSElements, prior to Import. What you are doing with the Still Images in Video Track 3 is creating a PiP (Picture in Picture). This ARTICLE goes into more detail on
Good luck,
Hunt

On loading Premiere Elements 9 it won't move on from the disc menu screen

On loading Premiere Elements 9 it won't move on from the disc menu screen. Have downloaded the patch which sorted the problem for a time, but have locked up again.

Which "disc menu screen" are you talking about?
Are you talking about the installation menu screen that comes on when you first put the installation disc in your computer's disc drive?
What operating system are you working on? If Windows, have you manually gone to Windows Updates, set the option to download Microsoft Updates and downloaded all of the available updates, including the ones that don't download automatically?

Trackpad won't move curser mouse does. Left and right click working fine

Hello everyone,
I have a problem. Out of nowhere my trackpad won't move the curser anymore. Connecting a USB mouse does. Left and right click are still working fine. Any ideas of how to fix it?
Thanks
Dave

Hey there DaveDaMac,
It sounds like your built in track pad is not responding at all, but your USB mouse works without issue. I recommend the troubleshooting in this article for you named:
Intel-based Mac notebooks: Troubleshooting unresponsive trackpad issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1248
Try disconnecting the MagSafe connector from the computer and check the trackpad function. If the trackpad becomes responsive again, improper grounding may be the issue.
If a two-prong AC plug is being used with the power adapter, try using the three-prong power cable that shipped with your computer and plug it into a grounded outlet.
If the issue persists, make sure the third prong is present and do not use an adapter to enable the three-prong adapter to be used in a two-prong outlet. Note that the ground in the three-prong outlet may not be connected. This is common in older homes or buildings with replaced outlets. In these situations, the three-prong power cable will not improve trackpad responsiveness.
If a grounded outlet is not available, rest your palm on the palm rest when using the trackpad. This should enable the trackpad to function properly.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

My trackpad won't move the mouse, only the clicks work, happen after updating. Help!, My trackpad won't move the mouse, only the clicks work, happen after updating. Help!

I just update using the app store on my mid 2012 MacBook Pro, and my trackpad wouldn't work, it won't move the mouse but it would still click, I'm using a extrenal mouse at the moment. It really hard carrying your mouse and computer around. Can someone please help me? I also try restting Pram and Scm but it did nothing.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

It won't let me drag an effect from the browser all of a sudden. I have always been able to do before. I am using effects from favorites bin and when I try to drag it, it won't move. I have never had this problem before. Please help.

P.S. I have tried other effects including transitions and it still won't let me drag.

Wow that was really quick, thank you so much. Im not sure at all which version it was because i said it was around 4 years ago he bought it. I know it isn't under his username, since he's a PC person (ugh) so i know its probably registered to one of our actual names. isn't there some way to look it up since we did register it, because I'm not even sure where the disks are from when we bought it (we've moved a lot and also have two storage lockers, i know i would have kept it with other disks) but my cd rom drive is actually broken on my computer as well ( i think it got stepped on and is now squished and won't eject or run disks.)
So is there anyway they can look up that its registered to one of our names since we did register it when we bought and installed it, or do i really have to find the disk with some sort of proof of purchase (i know there would be no receipt after all this time)
either way, ill do what you suggested to the best of my abilities and thank you so much for answering my questions, i can't even open the program as its incompatible and find out the info from that) so I'm in a bit of a pickle and your response was so thorough and it didn't seem to be posted long enough to even write a well researched response, thanks, all the best,

Deskjet 712C: Ink cartridge got stuck in right side and won't move

I have an old DeskJet 712C that was working fine until today. Strangely, the ink cartridge got stuck in the right side of the printer and won't move. As soon as I turn on the printer, the red light starts blinking. Does anyone know any tricks to get the ink cartridge to move again? Thank you for your help.
This question was solved.

Hi,
It may be possible to move the carriage if you turn off the printer. Unplug the printer and open the printer lid. See if you can move the carriage by hand. If this is possible move the carriage to the centre. Check to see that the is nothing blocking the movment of the carriage - e.g. some pieces of paper.
Close the lid and then plug the printer back in. Hopefully this will help.
I did find a You Tube video which shows fixing carriage jams on C4200 printers ( I know that they are not the same as the 712C) but some of the suggestions may be useful if my initial thought above do not help. the video is at this link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9x6ZLIYMog
Again these tips are not specifically for your printer but they may help solve your issue.
I hope that this was helpful.

Bottom of trackpad won't move the cursor

I restarted my macbook pro (purchased in Jan, 2011 brand new) after the cursor started jumping around uncontrollably. After startup the bottom of the trackpad won't move the cursor anymore but still functions as a button...any idea how i can restore movement?

Are you talking about maybe 1/8" to 1/4" on the very edge closest to you? I think that is normal.

Gradient overlay won't move with item

I've created a button with a gradient overlay, but when I click and drag the button, the gradient overlay stays put, it won't move with the button. Is there an option I'm overlooking to anchor the gradient with the item I've created? I've never seen this before. I'm on Photoshop CC 14.0 on a Mac.

How are you creating the gradient overlay: via layer style, shape fill properties, or adjustment layer? All except the adjustment layer will move with the button. For the adjustment layer, you need to select both layers and link them together with the chain icon in the layer pallet.

Pac Man on my iPod won't move upwards

I have installed Pac Man on my 5G iPod. Everything is working fine except the "move upwards button". Pac Man won't move upwards - I get to the "Game Paused" menu instead. It seems my iPod is wired in a weird way. Has anyone seen this problem? Does anyone know a solution to it?

sounds like an issue with your wheel... maybe overused? i dunno... you are right... it is weird.. did you try a cold boot?
