How can I Divide AND Ungroup in an Action?

In CS5, I created a very handy action that allowed me to, with two paths selected, Divide, Ungroup, and Deselect, resulting in the divided paths without having to do each step manually.
In CS6, for some reason this is no longer possible-- if I try to record the same action, after the divide, everything is automatically deselected and I get a "The object "Ungroup" is not currently available" error. Very frustrating that the new version is more troublesome to use!!
I KNOW that it's possible to do this because I was somehow able to fudge it at one point and get this action to work. But I'm not sure what happened-- maybe a step was deleted in my action or something-- but one day it just stopped working. This action is basically THE function I use most in Illustrator given the way I work, and while it's not a huge step, having to manually reclick, ungroup, and deselect is a huge inconvenience. What am I doing wrong?

If I can get it fixed, I'd be happy to share it
I think I must have deleted a piece of it before, which resulted in not working. I know that right now if I select the two and run the Divide > Ungroup > Deselect action it doesn't work anymore

Go to the Project Library View and select your project.
Then FILE/DUPLICATE PROJECT and give the duplicate a name like "your name - part 1".
Then duplicate it again and give the duplicate a name like "your name - part 2"
Now you can open "part 1" as a project and delete everything that is in part 2.

How can I divide a sheet to pages in numbers 3.0.1

How can I divide a sheet into pages. I have numbers 3.0.1

Hi m,
Numbers does not have (nor has it ever had) page breaks or Set Print Area.
Numbers 3 has lost Print View and Layout View, so it is rather clunky to swap between File > Print (to see Print Preview) and your document.
You can, however, move tables to new sheets and print only those sheets that are relevant. For example, your main data table could be on one sheet (that you choose to not print) and a summary table with perhaps a chart on another sheet (that you do print).
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Ian.

How can I divide my page (in Photoshop) perfectly in to 4 or 5 sections?
I'm sure there is a better way to do it than to do maths and measure your screen..
Thank you~

It is a wee bit non intuitive. This will help get you started:
The bottom row of icons are
Center Horizontal; Center Vertical, Create Guides, Clear Guides (hold down to clear fields), create new set.
The size fields are the same as your units, so what I do is Right click a ruler and select what I want (Cms or Pixels).
Some combinations take some working out. This image is 800x600 pixels, so I have a 20 pixel margin all round. Four columns, with a 20 pixel gutter between the columns. GuideGuide just works it out and lays down the guides. How useful is that?!
Column width can trip you up if you don't think what you are doing. 100px into an 800 pixel wide image results in eight columns. If I had entered a value o 10, then I'd have had 80 vertical guides!. I am sure you'll have the entire picture from here.

How can I divide a A4 size page into 4 equal parts ?

How can I divide a A4 size page into 4 equal parts, so that I can write individually on each part. that is 4 separated column : 2 columns on upper half of the page and 2 columns on lower half of the page. I only know how to create 2 column on a page but do not know how to create "2 rows', thank you

I would use text boxes but you could use Layout breaks and column breaks, but is more of a hassle. I am not a fan of a lot of text in tables.

How can i view and apply new custom patterns without going to preset manager? i had this facility but have now lost it

how can i view and apply new custom patterns without going to preset manager? i had this facility but have now lost it. i design patterns but am fairly new to photoshop. i used to be able to click on the drop down menu in patterns in the 'fill' box but cannot now do this. have i inadvertently clicked on something to turn this facility off? i now have to go to 'preset manager' and manually move my new design to the first box and click 'done' so that i can use it.

Which version of photoshop are you using?
After you define a custom pattern it should be added to the bottom of whatever patterns are already loaded.
For example, if you define a custom pattern and then go to Edit>Fill>Pattern, the newly defined pattern should have been added to the existing loaded patterns.

If you each have separate iCloud accounts with different IDs, you can add the other person's account to your device(s) by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and signing in with their ID. These "secondary accounts" will sync mail, contacts, calendars, reminders and notes.

How can my wife and I use our two iTunes accounts on one IPad

Unfortunately it will be difficult. iPads are personal devices like phones and done have credentials. You can of course log out of and into the app store to download purchased apps but the iPad will then have all the apps of both your wife and you (though you could put these into folders I guess).

You can set up multiple accounts in Game Centre, sign out and create new account. You just need a different email address from any existing Apple ID's and a new password. You can still use the old account for purchases.
