Help "turn off" create outline

I am a fairly new user of InDesign. Recently I produced a brochure and following the instructions of the printer, I used the 'create outline' function to flatten the jod and export to a PDF. That seemed to work well. I sent the file to the printer and they sent back a proof. I needed to make some changes. When I went back to the file to change some type copy, the text frames were locked and I was unable to change a thing. Needless to say I have since learned to make a working copy before flattening and to flatten without using the create outline prompt. Is there a way to undo the 'create outline' once it has been saved?
Thanks

My advice...the next time you get this request, find a new printer.
Ummm, the only printer I get this request from is the client's in-house print department, and I'm not going to replace a client that my firm has worked with for 25 years (especially since I've only been here 3-1/2 years).
Believe me, I've talked to everyone involved and this is they way they've done it for years and it works for them so they're not changing. So . . . I keep my type on a separate layer and as part of my final file prep steps, dupe that layer and convert text to outlines. FYI -- THAT is the file I route for internal sign-offs. There is no way I'm sending a file to a printer after making a massive change like that without it being checked over first.

Turn off create font outline

I followed the steps to create a font outline, manipulated the selected font, then moved to a new page-project - I inserted new type - it looks fine at 11 pt, but when I enlarged it, it still has the outline effect - also, the font becomes nothing but a black blob the more I increase the size - seems like the create outline command is still working on a new page.
How do I turn off the create outline command so I can return to regular fonts on new pages?
thanks
Bruce

The create outline command is a 1 shot deal. It doesn't stay on or off like a switch, its more of a conversion process. which is applied to only what was selected and then it is done.
Even if the new type on the new page was in outline form, it would not explain what is happening. Outlining simply means that you can no longer edit the text, it is now a path. Since it is a path, it retains its shape and characteristics no matter how much you scale it.
If you rasterise the text, apply a drop shadow or any other raster effect to the text, then those effects would be effected when scaling.
Everything I type above is my best guess for not seeing your screen, which is why Monika requested a screen shot.

Help turning off feature that opens all pages and numbers docs.

How can I turn off feature that opens all numbers and pages documents each time I open the respective program?

What version of OS X are you using? That information will help in providing a specific solution.
If you close all documents before quitting Numbers or Pages, you won't have them reopening when you launch the app again. You can quickly close all open windows in an application by typing ⌘ ⌥ W (Command + Option + W) or hold down the Option/alt key while clicking the red close button.
Other things you can do to turn off this resume feature:
In Lion, Mountain Lion & Mavericks you can set System Preferences > General to close windows when quitting an application.
Try Mountain Tweaks The option to turn off resume is at the bottom of the left-hand column under Lion. This solution does not work in Mavericks.

Turn off "Create PDF Compatible File"?

Is there a way to turn off the "Create PDF Compatible File" option by default in Illustrator CS4?
Thanks.

Though you can mess with the preferences this way and it may work for you there is always a possibility of offering a corruption or the invitation to a corruption that has not been tested for this way.So you should keep a clean copy of the AI preferences in case you have a problem doing something with ai that was not the normal behavior and so you can swop it out with the new preferences. You can that way discover if the new settings causes this situation and then figure out if you need it that badly. Especially if it happens repeatably.
But this is s good feature request to be able to set the defaults of all tools all panels all menu items etc. One that will not be trashed when resetting the the defaults as they can be reloaded and rewritten fresh as if they where the factory load.
I think it is time for the uer to have more say about ho they use any of the Adobe applications.

Help; Turn off Sound

I have tried everything to get sounds turned off for any and everything in Mail.
I exported all my mailboxes. Then threw out the entire mail folder from my home library folder; deleted all preferences related to mail from my preference folder.
Setup all my accounts again, Gmail, Mobile Me, and one Exchange account.
I am unable to turn off the new mail sound. I have it unchecked in Mail preferences including; having no sounds for any other actions.
I am sure it is something simple but no idea what.
Osx 10.6.4; updated.

thanks for any suggestions.

Of course it is a big deal!
The shutter sound is very annoying when you snap a pic in a lecture hall, museum, zoo, theatre, school, etc. Covering the speaker is not a realistic option. The invention of digital cameras without moving parts made it possible to shoot pictures without bothering your enviroment with undesired noise. By forcing a synthetic shutter sound down our throat Nokia turned back the clock.
That camera noise is not just inconvenient, it's more than that. Should we allow a handful of countries with mandatory shutter sound to force their rules onto the entire world? In some places you enter a legal minefield if you have a beer with your picknick in the park. Should we let brewers force-feed us their version of a digital shutter sound in the form of an unremovable brown paper bag on each and every bottle on the planet?

I need help turning off the "find phone" on my 4G iPhone, but don't have the phone to get the serial number

I am looking for direction on how to turn "OFF" find my phone. I do not have the phone or serial number.

Remove it from your account by signing in to icloud.com/find,
selecting the device, and clicking Erase. When the device has been
erased, click Remove from Account.
You do not need the serial number to do this, but you may
be able to find the serial number here:

Need help turning off WPA!! on MI424WR-GEN3I

Hi,
I cant seem to turn of WPA on the router. I have it on WPA/WPA2 resulting in speeds of 56MBps. Simple fix to turn off WPA but I am not sure how to.
Anyone with ideas please?

The OP needs to use WEP to connect some legacy equipment to his network which aparently won't support WPA2 encryption.
My suggestion still is to purchase/ beg an older G only router and set it up as an AP and then connect only the cameras and DVR to it either using WiFi or Ethernet.
PROS:
1. This will give you the WEP security you need.
2. By having the cameras and DVR connected on this AP you won't slow down N capable devices which can connect to your primary network.
3. Devices connected to your primary network will be protected by WPA2, but there is a big but
CON:
1. By having an AP using only WEP someone can easily gain access to your network. The best thing you can do to prevent this is double NAT the second router behind your primary which will result in any devices connected to it being in their own subnet with no access to the primary network. This however may result in it being much more difficult acessing the cameras remotely.
2. If you choose not to double NAT then enable every security feature you can on the second router which will delay and discourage script kiddies but not stop a real hacker intent to gain access:
a.Long as possible and secure WiFI encryption on WEP.
b. very secure administrative password.
c. Block administrative access by WiFi
d. Allow only certain IPs to administer the router
e. Block remote access to router
f. Give only the MAC addresses of devices that you want to be able to use the second router access by WiFi.
g, Monitor the system logs so you can tell if your router is under attack

Help turn off iMessage without my phone...

I recently switched from iPhone to Android and no longer have my iPhone. However, texts from my wife still go to iMessage because she is on iPhone... help!

Put your sim in her phone & turn iMessage off. If you registered your phone with Apple, you can login to your support profile & remove the phone. Those are the only two ways I know to fix this.

Need help turning off find my phone

I Purchased an iphone4 from a couple and later found out that in order to install apps that I need their account password. I texted them and they said they didn't remember it. They said to contact apple and give them the info they used when they purchased and registered the phone. They gave me the info but where/how do I use the info to turn it off so I can delete the account. I have the phone activated and am using it but want certain apps and want to add my music library but can't. Thanks in advance for your help

You will not be able to use this iPhone if you don't get them to sign out of their Apple ID with the appropriate Password. If they forgot their Apple ID and Password they can go online and correct things but they will need to answer their Security Questions and also may need to receive information on their Recovery email Address. This can all be done relatively quickly, but they will need to cooperate.

Need help turning off iPhone

Hey everyone. I have an iPhone, but something weird happened. The touch screen stopped responding, but the buttons are all working. So I tried to turn it off, but the 'slide to power off' bar came up. Problem is, I can't slide anything because my touch screen isn't responding. Anyone know a way to restart your phone without having to slide the bar? And my battery is full, so it would take too long to wait for the battery to run out.

Hold the lock button and the home button at the same time for about 7 seconds or so and it should reboot the phone. Take the phone to the Apple store to get it checked out if this problem continues. Thanks.

Need help turning off my Ipod touch, I tried holding the power and home button, nothing turns it off. I also cannot adjust the volume. Can anyone help?

Im looking for someone to help me out with my Ipod.

Plug your iPod into your computer go to the iPod summary tab:,
Then click restore:
Hope this helps.
It should fix the problem,
but it takes about 30 minutes.
You will have to sync your media back to your iPod.

Need help turning off autoupdate without Internet access for Reader 9

Does anyone know how to disable the auto-update for Adobe Reader 9.0?
The only article I have seen explains how to disable the update for 7.0 or 8.0 (both change a registry key bUpdater to 0, which does not exist for 9.0).
Anyone have an idea?
Thanks!

The only way I know to disable it is to go to Help>Check for updates.... Let it do it's thing then click the "preferences" button and deselect "Automatically check for Adobe updates."
I'm not positive what happens if you try this without internet access...
