Help setting the movement to pixel by pixel

Good day fellow designers. I'm having a "not so good" situation. I hope you can help me guys. It's all about moving an selected object pixel by pixel.
I have this object selected on photoshop. And I want to move it pixel by pixel. So what I did is I selected it then press the arrow keys. In photoshop,
usually, this will make the object move pixel by pixel. But in my illustrator however, it's kinda different. It moves at least 3 pixel by 3 pixel. It's not
accurate. I already tried playing with illustrator's preferences but still no good. I know it's just around there somewhere.
Maybe someone can help me with this? Thanks and have a good day ahead! Cheers!

Hmm, I already got that tweaked... But it still skips a few pixels when I move it. A solution that I currently have right now is move it via mouse. It gets
the job done but the movement via arrow keys helps a lot specially when my workspace is starting to get laggy.
EDIT :
I already got it figure out. And yup, it's the keyboard increment. I got used to 1px that I've forgotten that I can also input much lower than 1px. I tried
0.25px and it worked! : )
Thanks mate. Cheers! : )

Setting the Dock to Exactly 32 Pixels

I want to set the dock to exactly 32 pixels, but the slider gives no numerical value. I have a set of sleek 32 pixel icons that look great when viewed on the desktop, but I just can't get them to the right size in the dock.
Message was edited by: playswithtigers

The Dock only uses the 128x128 icon resources, so even if you resize the Dock so that the icons are 32x32, it's going to scale down the 128x128 icon to that size. It does not switch to the 32x32 icon resource.
Also, I just checked and, even if you're using an icon that only has the 32x32 size, it will still not appear correctly in the Dock. It will still have a slightly blurred appearance. So, unfortunately, the Dock is not able to display icons in the way that you were looking for. I don't believe that there is a way around this problem.

Need help setting the exact size of my JSlider

Hello everyone. I'm trying to build a small program to help people learn a about RGB colour values, and at the same time teach myself a bit more about Java. Things have been going fine so far until I came to setting my JSlider's size. The intention is to have three JSliders with a JPanel next to each. The I need the track of the slider to be exactly 256 pixels tall (one pixel per gradient value painted into the adjacent JPanel) plus whatever extra padding and spacing the Look And Feel dictates.
I've got the height set to 256 pixels in the following code, but it makes the JSlider as a whole 256 pixels tall and so squishes the track. I've set the minor tick spacing to 2 so that if the track was actually 256 pixels tall, the ticks would alternate over each screen pixel. If you compile and run the code, you will notice that a few ticks appear next to each other without a one-pixel gap between them. I've also verified it by taking a screen capture, pasting it into the GIMP and then using the measure tool to check the size.
I've tried searching through the API documentation to find ways of doing it, or to see if some ideas I've had so far were possible, but so far, I've not found anything particulairly satisfactory. I even tried to see if I could set the JSlider size to current JSlider size minus the track size, plus 256, but I couldn't find a way of getting the current size of the track.
Can anyone help me out here? I'm rather stuck.

Here's the code with all but the JSliders stripped out. Sorry about having to put it in a seperate post; the forum wouldn't allow it.

Help with the movies and the latest version of itunes (vers 11)

So i need some help -
i have an imac desktop - i have an external hard drive hooked up to my time machine. all of my itunes media is on the that external HD - my issue is this -
- i buy a movie via itunes store - it downloads to my preference set up external hard drive. Once its downloaded - i am missing artwork for the movie, and when i go to play it, it reads Itunes does not support QT. In the previous itunes all i had to do is delete the new movie from my itunes libaray and copy/drag it back into the libary and that would fix all the problems - i had artwork and it would work via itunes.
- Since i migrated to to the new itunes 11, this little trick does not work - when i delete and drag over the file, it now shows up in the "home video" section - i have no artwork and cannot watch the movie. This is even the case with downloaded TV shows -
Any suggestions on this? it was very frustrating that i had to do this maintainence before, but now it nothing seems to work.

You cannot install the latest version of iTunes (11.x) using Mac OS X 10.5 (as shown in your signature).
Apple menu > Software update. this will update all Apple software on your computer to the latest compatible version (which is not the same as the latest version).
If you want to go higher than Mac OS 10.5, you need to get the 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD.

Help: set the list item when scrollbar scrolls

i need help regording how to set the listbox list item to be selected (i.e. item to be highlighted) when the vertical scrollbar scrolls.

Hi Shreyas,
You can insert the code below into the NewForm.aspx page of the list via a Script Editor web part:
<script type="text/javascript">
_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("ready");
function ready()
//12/04/2015 - 18/04/2015
var sd = "";
var ed = "";
var d = new Date();
//get start date of the week
d.setDate(d.getDate() - d.getDay());
sd = convertDate(d);
//get end date of the week
d.setDate(d.getDate() + (6 - d.getDay()));
ed = convertDate(d);
//populate the string into the Title field
var title = document.querySelector("input[title='Title']");
title.value = sd+" - "+ed;
function convertDate(inputFormat) {
function pad(s) { return (s < 10) ? '0' + s : s; }
var d = new Date(inputFormat);
return [pad(d.getDate()), pad(d.getMonth()+1), d.getFullYear()].join('/');
</script>
It will populate the “Title” field with the text like “12/04/2015 - 18/04/2015” based on current date when adding a new item in this list in the NewForm.aspx page:
Here are two links about how to add code into page via Content Editor Web Part:

How to set the "move tool" as the startup tool for Photoshop?

For some reason, the rectangular marquee tool is now the startup tool, but I rarely use that tool! I remember in the past, it's always the "move tool". How can I change the startup tool in Photoshop?
Thanks!

As far as having the Move Tool selected at startup, your right about older versions of photoshop being able to do that, i think photoshoshop cs and older, but not in more recent versions.
Anyway, there are several of ways to do it and here's one:
1. Use the following script saved from Notepad (or any text editor) as, for example, Select Move Tool.jsx
// =======================================================
var idslct = charIDToTypeID( "slct" );
    var desc4 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var idnull = charIDToTypeID( "null" );
        var ref1 = new ActionReference();
        var idmoveTool = stringIDToTypeID( "moveTool" );
        ref1.putClass( idmoveTool );
    desc4.putReference( idnull, ref1 );
    var iddontRecord = stringIDToTypeID( "dontRecord" );
    desc4.putBoolean( iddontRecord, true );
    var idforceNotify = stringIDToTypeID( "forceNotify" );
    desc4.putBoolean( idforceNotify, true );
executeAction( idslct, desc4, DialogModes.NO );
Then in photoshop under File>Scripts>Script Events Manager use Browse under Script and set the script for the Photoshop Event>Start Application

Help: Setting the multipart/related start parameter

I am wanting to set the "start" parameter on my ContentType header for
a multipart related message. Something like below.
DATA
ContentType: multipart/related; boundary=_XXX; start="<somecid@domain>"
I can set the content type to "multipart/related" by calling
MimeMultipart.setSubType(), but I cannot figure out how to set the
"start" parameter.
Anyone know.
Thanks,

Does the SMTP server accept the mail for delivery of does it reject it?
If it doesn't reject it, is the issue with the format of the mime message, or possibly with whatever mail reader you are using.
It the SMTP server does reject the message I suppose the next question is what exactly is the "SMTP" server you are using?
IMHO you should not need to add anything to the mime multipart headers if using any RFC compliant SMTP server or reader. No-where in RFCs 2045,2046,2049,2822 etc can I find anything that relates to this "start" parameter.
If the SMTP server is a "proper" SMTP server it should not give two hoots about the mime multipart/mime body parts of the message as it "should" only be interested in the headers required to deliver the email. The mime multi/body part headers are generally not used to deliver. They are used by a Mime compliant mail reader to format and display the message.
We use Javamail to send regular "Newsletters" via a numbers of SMTP mail serviers running on IBM AS/400s, Sendmail on Unix, Lotus Notes servers and and others and have no problems.
If you want to send me your code to run on our systems to see if it really is your SMTP server or your message format that is giving trouble I can probably help. I can't open up a server for you as we have rather strict policies on who can do what with our servers. You can of course use our normal SMTP server to send a test email to me!!

How can I set the movies I have put into itunes so that they do not sync each time I try to sync new music purchaes?

I can uncheck tv shows and when I sync music or app purchase the tv shows do not sync unless they are marked us unwatched. I have put digital copies of some blu-rays into itunes and I cannot get them to be in itunes without syncing when sync new purchases. How can I keep the movies in itunes for storage but keep them from going to the device and taking up memory when I am not needing them?

Just untick Sync Movies or change the drop down below to selected movies.

Help setting the background color in the browser

I’m setting up my web pages to be 960 x 600 pixels (or possibly 960 x 660). How do I define a background color for the overflow in case people are viewing on higher than 1024 x 768 resolution - right now everything outside of my webpage shows up as the default white.
Thanks

Use CSS.

Help setting the behavior of a button, possible using a variable

Hi,
This is my first time posting here and I'm sure I will be coming back, because I'm about to start a big project.
The Problem:
What I'm trying to do is get the user's input (text field = new_title), then having a button that will take that input and use it as part of a URL.
The following will be the destination URL:
http://www.mysite.com/wiki/index.php?title=new_title_from_text_field&action=edit&redlink=1
The Background:
I have installed Media Wiki in my website, but I want to have a more straight forward approach to creating new pages. So I'm creating an introductory page where the user can enter the title of the page he/she wants to create, click a button and go to the editing page from the Wiki, with their new title in place.
Thanks, I appreciate any advice you can give me.
Daniel

Bregent and Michael,
Thanks for your help, I used both of your answers and came up with the following. I'm not sure if it's done in the "propper" way, but it accomplished what I needed.
Please let me know what you think.
<form action="http://www.mysite.com/wiki/index.php?title=" method="get" name="form1" target="_parent">
    <input type="text" name="title" id="title">
    <input name="action" type="hidden" id="action" value="edit">
    <input name="redlink" type="hidden" id="redlink" value="1">
    <input type="submit" name="new_page" id="new_page" value="Create">

Go to Start menu and select Control Panel. In the Control Panel, double click on System. In the System dialogue, choose the Advanced tab. Then click on Environmental Variables. Select Path and Edit. Put ;c:\j2sdk1.4.0\bin at the end of the Path (or c:\j2sdk1.4.0\bin;) at the start of the Path. That's it.

How is the font size calculated in pixel sized documents?

Hello to all,
I am working with Illustrator CS4 on a web design. In the document setup, I set the size to 1000*1600 pixels. Then, I tried to add some text in font size 12 pt. The font appears *very* small. My objective was to use the same font size settings in my Illustrator file as I will later do in the HTML/CSS coding. How do I get Illustrator to scale the fonts in the same way as the browser does - i.e. a 12 pt text in the browser has the same size as a 12 pt text in Illustrator? Infact, I am looking for a setting where I can define the resolution of text size calculation.
Best regards
Joerg

Illustrator is a print-oriented, object-based vector drawing program, not a web-oriented, pixel-based raster painting program.
Illustrator's ruler is designed to represent real-world measure, not counts of pixels.
A pixel is not a measure. Pixels have no real-world measure.
Therefore, when Illustrator's ruler pretends to represent "pixels," it has to assign some real-world scale to them. It defaults to the measure of a point. A point is a real-world measure.
Similarly, a computer's operating system has to decide how many screen pixels it will use to represent a real-world measure at 100% zoom.
Mac OS defaults to using 1 pixel to represent 1 point. (72 PPI)
Windows and web browsers default to using 1.33 pixels to represent 1 point. (96 PPI)
So tell a browser to display 12 point type, and it will use 16 pixels to do that.
Given Illustrator's default that 1 pixel measures 1 point at 100%, Illustrator uses about 9 pixels to render the cap height of 12 point Verdana.
GIven the browsers' default that 1 point renders to 1.3 pixels, the browser uses about 12 pixels to render the cap height of 12 point Verdana.
So given that Illustrator and the browser are going to use different numbers of pixels to rasterize 12 point type, how do you get a browser to use the same number of pixels to render 12 point Verdana as Illustrator does? Simple: Specify the type size in the HTML code by pixels, not by points. This is a screenshot of Internet Explorer on Windows displaying a web page which contains:
A raster image of 12 point Verdana exported from Illustrator, using its default 72 PPI rasterization
Live 12 pixel Verdana HTML text.
Live 12 point Verdana HTML text.
Inversely, there are other ways to work around Illustrator's 72 PPI default when you want to rasterize Illustrator type so that it looks the same as the same-point-size text in HTML.
When using Save For Web & Devices, specifiy 133% instead of the default 100%.
Scale the artwork to 133% before exporting via Save For Web & Devices using the default 100%
When rasterizing, rasterize to 96 PPI instead of 72 PPI. (1.33 as many pixels)
When exporting, export to 96 PPI instead of 72 PPI. (1.33 as many pixels)
Or, do what I do: Get a decent screenshot utility. When I want to rasterize something from Illustrator that contains text that I want to appear online at the same scale that it appears to me when working in Illustrator, I simply zoom to 133% and take a screenshot.

How to create a playlist for the movies I have?

Hope someone can help me here. How do you set the movies to play continuously? I can't seem to create a playlist for the movies. You can create playlist for podcast videos and musics but how do you creat playlist for the 3 movies I have got on my iphone?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Not exactly true. As absurd as it sounds, if you have just one music track in your playlist, then you can select it from the Playlists section on the iPhone and play your videos, movies etc. one after the other.
I have created a completely empty music track in Garageband which I drag onto the end of each and every video playlist I create. An ugly solution, but it works.
You have to remember to check the playlist in both the Video and Music sections in iTunes->Devices->Your iPhone.
