HELP!! Unable to select objects with the selection tool

Not sure if I accidently hit a key that I wasn't supposed to, but the selection tool stopped working the way it should. When I put the cursor on top of an object and click the mouse button, nothing happens. Also ctrl A doesn't work. Any suggestions? I've shut down and restarted and that didn't work.

grooveslapp,
To keep previously selected objects selected, ShiftClick the following ones.
If Ctrl+A does not select anything, and if no selection appears in the Info palette (select Objects in the flyout), something else is the matter, and it may be time to Move the folder

Use of OLE Objects with the Publisher tool

Our company is trying to put user guides, screen shots, report examples, etc. on the BPMN diagrams that we are creating. I am wondering if anyone has figured out a good way to get multi-page documents to show up as icons which can be clicked from the Business Process Publisher web client. The normal OLE's work decently for users with BPA installed, but they are not hyperlinked in the Web Client. One option I tried was simply displaying the OLE not as an icon, but simply as it's own diagram in BPA, so it would be available that way, but the problem there is it only shows the first page, and it doesn't allow it to be linked to from an icon, it only uses the assignment icon. Any ideas? Best practices?
-Chris

HI Chris
there are link attributes which let you browse and choose a file as link.
when you create a web export, the files choosen as links for attributes are also exported on Business publisher.
One of the three profiles you choose when doing a web export support files being copied on BP server

Problems moving an object with the selection tool

Im working on CS2 and since last week I have a problem moving objects with the selection tool: To move the object I am obligate to select the object first, and then click at the edge/stroke of the object to drag it. Before that I could move the objects just by selecting somewhere in the object and then just drag it to some other place in one step. I think I maybe changed something in the general preferences....

Ho thanks a lot Kurt!!!!! Indeed, that was the problem!!! Finally I can work normally again.... (the joker was me...but not on purpose)
Thanks again!

Camera RAW start with the crop tool automatically selected?

Is it possible to enable camera RAW to start with the crop tool automatically selected?

As far aas I know you can't.
But you could ask in the Camera Raw forum – they know these things!

Please help me! I am struggling with the mesh tool!

So I want to make this chair look like it does in the picture, but I cant! There is a chapter in my Illustrator CS3 book explaining how to use gradient mesh and mesh tool, but it doesnt help me at all. I am clueless! The tutorial says that I can create points in the mesh simply by clicking with the mesh tool within an object, but when I try to do that, the pointer is "crossed out". I can only add extra points on lines or edges, but not on empty space within an object. What gives? Why is it that others can do it an I cant? Forgive me if I sound a little too upset, but I've been struggling with this for days and I cannot find an answer.
In this tutorial right here: http://www.layersmagazine.com/illustrator-gradient-mesh-tool.html the guy just clicks in empty spaces creating intersections. In my case it is impossible.
PS: Please look at an attached file and tell me what would be the best way to go about coloring this chair. Maybe I am doing this completely wrong? (I only started learning illustrator about 5 weeks ago)
Sorry for the background template being of poor quality, but this was taken from a book and scanned, so it's the best I could do.

You know something I think there should be a behavioral change in this case. To my way of thinking this option should automatically be disabled if you select the Mesh tool. If for some reason you want the mesh tool not to behave the way there might be a toggle or a double click to get the preferences for the tool 's behavior itself. I can see where this behavior can be useful but there needs to be a toggle.
Selecting the anchors for adding color with out accidentally creating a new mesh division is good thing but you need to be able to work both ways.
What do you think Scott Weichert you use the tool extensively, am i wrong?

RE: multiple named objects with the same name andinterface

David,
First I will start by saying that this can be done by using named anchored
objects and registering them yourself in the name service. There is
documentation on how to do this. And by default you will get most of the
behavior you desire. When you do a lookup in the name service (BindObject
method) it will first look in the local partition and see if there is a
local copy and give you that copy. By anchoring the object and manually
registering it in the name service you are programmatically creating your
own SO without defining it as such in the development environment. BTW in
response to your item number 1. This should be the case there as well. If
your "mobile" object is in the same partition where the service object he is
calling resides, you should get a handle to the local instance of the
service object.
Here is the catch, if you make a bind object call and there is no local copy
you will get a handle to a remote copy but you can not be sure which one!
It end ups as more or less a random selection. Off the top of my head and
without going to the doc, I am pretty sure that when you register an
anchored object you can not limit it's visibility to "User".

Subject: multiple named objects with the same name and interface
All,
More than once, I have wished that Forte allowed you to place named
objects with the same name in more than one partition. There are two
situations in which this seems desirable:
1) Objects that are not distributed, but are mobile (passed by value to
remote objects), cannot safely reference a Service Object unless it has
environment visibility, but this forces the overhead of a remote method
call when it might not otherwise be necessary. If it were possible to
place a copy of the same Service Object (with user visibility) in each
partition, the overhead of a remote method call could be avoided. This
would only be useful for a service object whose state could be safely
replicated.
2) My second scenario also involves mobile objects referencing a Service
Object, but this time I would like the behavior of the called Service
Object to differ with the partition from which it is called.
This could be accomplished by placing Service Objects with the same name
and the same interface in each partition, but varying the implementation
with the partition.
Does anyone have any thoughts about why this would be a good thing or a
bad thing?

Since upgrading to Mavericks, I have been unable to sync devices (specifically ipad mini and iphone 4s) to my MId 2013 Imac . They wil rapidly connect and disconnect, and I'm unable to do anything with the device. This happens with both USB ports. Any suggestions?
MacBook Air, OS X Mountain Lion (10.9.1)

Obviously, syncing an iOS device with iTunes over USB is still supported in Mavericks. Calendar and contact syncing with iTunes is no longer supported. That has nothing to do with your problem.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.

Adobe Creative Suite CS5 is acting up. In Illustrator i was unable to move objects with my mouse, so

Adobe Creative Suite CS5 is acting up. In Illustrator i was unable to move objects with my mouse and tried solving the problem in different ways - it still didnt work. So i opened up photoshop. I was unable to open a file in photoshop (new or old) and when i finally did manage to open something, I am unable to do many things.
1) i cannot crop canvas
2) i cannot resize canvas
3) text dissapears after i type it
4) brush strokes dissapear after i release mouse
etc
What should i do??
Thank you!

Nobody can help you without system info or otehr details. From your description this could be driver issues with a tablet if you use one or similar issues with a programmable custom mouse... Most definitely not an issue within the programs. Unplug your mouse and tablet, uninstall and reinstall the drivers, try another input device...

Need Help with the Clone Tool

I need help with the clone tool, in that when I clone (let's say grass as example), the new cloned area does NOT come out as sharp as the area selected. It comes out much softer and somewhat blurred. I have the opacity and flow both set at 100%. This is very frustrating since I can not get a true clone.

what "tip" do you have selected? where are you sampling from ( found in top option bar) ALSO make sure MODE is normal

How to synchronize test schema objects with the prod schema objects.

Hi,
I have a requirement of synchronizing test schema objects with the production schema objects. Please let me know the below
1. if there is a standardized method for such activity,
2. if there are oracle utilities for this task.
3. If i had to do this job manually, can you let me know the check list if any.
Thanks

You could try database diff tool in sql developer(but there are some licence restrictions).
I don't know your database version, you could try DBMS_COMPARISON package also.
Look at this link http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28419/d_comparison.htm
Other solution is to create db link between test and production database, and then you can try different types of queries like
select table_name from user_tables
minus
select table_name from user_tables@db_link_to_other_database
And you can do this for columns, indexes and so on.
But you must have proper DDL scripts for this, to generate sync script.
Also there is a question about work process, you are doing sync in reverse order(from production to test). Test db is for test, after test you go to production db with proper ddl and dml scripts, so these schemas shouldn't be different in the first place(talking about schema, not data here).

Help with the Spiral Tool, controlling decay

I am attempting to use the spiral tool to create a spiral that gradually increases in the size of the spacing (decay) between segments as it opens up outward. My problem with the spiral tool is that it offers little control of when, where and how much decay between segments occurs...
I've drawn an example of what I'm trying to achieve:
Abuzeedo has done something similar by "holding ALT" however I can't replicate it on my system (CS5, Mac).
reference: http://www.webdesign.org/vector-graphics/adobe-illustrator/spiral-tool-mysteries-solved.76 94.html

There is no Alt key on mac, the equivalent is uslaly option, but most likely you are looking for CMD. The keys on the mac you want to try though are CMD, Up & Down Cursors
Click once and let go to get the options for making spiral, this will help you filgure out
To get the spider web shape, you want to afterwards
Object >> Path >> Add Anchor Point (about 2 times)

Need help with the brush tool.

I just got Illustrator yesterday, and I'm trying to ink a sketch. So I open the file of the sketch, Save it as an adobe Illustrator document, then I create a new layer, then when I go to trace the sketch I get a symbol saying I cant use the brush tool. How do I fix this? Thanks in advance.

Have you actually selected a brush stroke from the Brushes palette? Brusches are differnt from normal line strokes, the latter of which you can create with the Pencil tool...
