How can I move the Anchor points of multiple layers to the same position within comp?

I have a comp of a butterfly that I want to copy the keyframes to many other butterfly comps, but to get the animation to work, I need all the anchorpoints of the individual layers to be at the exact same location within the comp (So the left wing, right wing, and body anchor points are right on top of each other)
How can I accomplish this quickly? I have a lt of comps to do...
Thanks all!

I would have set this up in Illustrator Before you started. Start with a rectangle that has either fill or stroke on a layer but the opacity is set to 0. The center of the rectangle will be the anchor point for that layer when you import as a comp maintaining layer size. Now create your left left side contents on the left side of the rectangle and repeat for the right side. Import as a comp and you'll be golden.
Here is a sample file and what the file looks like imported as a comp. Notice the x values of all anchor points are identical.
The artwork isn't great, it was created in less than a minute but it porves the workflow.

Keyboard shortcuts: Curves
You can use these keyboard shortcuts for Curves:
To set a point on the curve for the selected color in each color component channel (but not in the composite channel), Shift+Ctrl-click (Windows) or Shift+Command-click (Mac OS) in the image.
To select multiple points, Shift-click points on the curve. Selected points are filled with black.
To deselect all points on the curve, click in the grid, or press Ctrl‑D (Windows) or Command-D (Mac OS).
To select the next higher point on the curve, press the plus key; to select the next lowest, press the minus key.
To move selected points on the curve, press the arrow keys.
(Curves dialog box) To set a point on the curve for the current channel, Ctrl-click (Windows) or Command-click (Mac OS) in the image.
If you’re instead using the Curves adjustment, simply click in the image with the On-image adjustment tool .

How can I use existing anchor point as a new one?

Can anyone help?
I'm tracing over a drawing, and I'm trying to use an existing anchor point as an anchor point for another curve. So, from c, I want to click and drag on anchor point b to make a new curve. If I click where b is, then I just delete b. Can I make b my initial anchor point so that I can use it to complete my tooth? When I get to the next teeth Ill have to do the same thing. Has anyone any ideas?

> Each tooth should be a closed path.
Why?
> If I click where b is, then I just delete b.
Ugh, turn off Auto Add/Delete Anchor Point and watch your rage levels instantly decrease. You can then put your final point anywhere you want, including smack dab on top of B.

How can I get my itunes library on multiple computers at the same time. I have 3 and an iphone 4S

So I have my itunes library on a laptop and synced with my iphone 4S. I have a new laptop and a tower and I use all three computers. Is there a simple way to have all three computers sync the same itunes library, and the phone?

No.
Iphone will sync with one and only one computer a a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content from the iphone and replace with content from the new computer.

How can i move ALL of my Iphoto/aperture pictures from the internal hd to a external hd at one session? just need to how to do this. (I know this is a long process; just looking for a faster method).

looking for a way other than post and click.

I'm not at all sure what you mean by "post and click", but if you wish to move your entire iPhoto Library, then follow these steps:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2506
As far as I know, you can set up Aperture to access its library on an external drive; I tried to find some info for you and found this support site for it - you might want to check it out. Also, you might want to check the manual on how to move the library.

How can I move most used mail accounts to appear at the top of the list when I open my mail app?

I have updated iPhone4 to IOS7 and now my mail accounts are in new order. I have several accounts but a few that need to be the most visible. Not sure how iPhone mail app is sorting them but it sorting it but definitely not alphabetically or by most used. Anyway, I finally figured out how to reorder them to suit me and, since help wasn't found on forum, thought I'd share:
Open Mail App, then use "Edit" from top right. You'll see a 3-bar icon to the right of each mail account. Use it to slide accounts up/down to where you want them. Works also for any Gmail accounts you might have.
Sometimes it's the simple things

cor-el, thanks for the tip. While I certainly scoured Adobe's preference settings to look for something relating to that exact thing, I never went to their help site until I got your post. I found out that the floating toolbar appears because the PDF opens in'' Read Mode'', which you can turn off for all future documents by doing this:
* Quit your internet browser
* Launch Acrobat (or Reader)
* Choose Edit>Preferences
* Click on the Internet category on the left
* Deselect “Display in Read Mode by default”
* Click the OK button.
* Relaunch Acrobat
Something important to note, if you have both Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader, you need to do the above in both programs (same steps).

How can I move datafile copies from an Incremental Backup-not the original?

As part of an incremental backup I recover copies of the tablespaces. These by default are stored in the disk backup location diskgroup. Is it possible to move these copies to another diskgroup/location whilst still backing up to the default disk backup location diskgroup. I know how to do it with the main datafiles but not with the copies.
e.g.
Current situation:
Original Datafiles in +DATA
Backups in +FRA
Recovered Datafile copies in +FRA
New setup to be:
Original Datafiles in +DATA
Backups in +FRA
Recovered Datafile copies in +BACKUP
Thanks

Yes it's possible.
Move the backup and then set the new location of the backup on the controlfile:
1. Move the backup.
2. RMAN delete old backup reference from control file:
crosscheck backup device type disk;
delete noprompt expired backup device type disk;3. RMAN include the new location of the backup:
catalog start with '/path/to/your/backup/'And you're done :)

How can I reset the anchor point to its default?

One of the other guy using my machine screwed up the default anchor point position for text layers & for the life of us, we can't figure out how to reset it back to its default (centered on the text layer).
Right now, it appears a the bottom of the text layer (bottom left if left justified, bottom right if the text is right justified & bottom center if cerer justified).
Just to be clear, when typing out a brand new text layer, the anchor point does not appear in the center of the layer, as it normally does. Hitting "reset" in the tranform controls always moves the AP back to this position (ie, if I use the pan-behind tool to put the AP where it needs to be, then hit "reset", the AP moves back to the lower left corner of the layer)
I'm sure it's got to be some keystroke combination of some kind...
Anyway, does anyone know how to set it back to its default? It's a pretty big pain to have to manually set the anchor point for every text layer, and I kinda want to leave the "delete-your-prefs" option as a last resort...
thanks
D

As Rick said - there is no way in hell the text ever could have been perfectly centered to begin with. the behavior you are seeing is perfectly normal. Whenever you change the text, the anchor point will respond in kind. Only fixed size text blocks will reverse that principle and fit the content to the bounding box, leaving the anchor point unchanged.

How can i move my photos from iexplore mobile to the photos app itself on my 5s?

I don't have this App but I would guess that touching the photo and selecting Save might do the job.

Is it possible to move the anchor point for an inline object?

I have noticed that sometimes the anchor point will get inserted in the middle of a word resulting in the spellchecker marking the word as misspelled.
I can't seem to find any information in the documentation about moving an anchor point. Is it not possible?
Thanks

Krisler,
Select your Inline graphic. Then click on the center of the graphic and drag the mouse's pointer into the text. When you get your pointer into the text you will see the insertion cursor (vertical bar) just at the tip of the mouse arrow. When you let go of the mouse button the insertion point for the graphic will be where the insertion bar was at that time. The key point is to concentrate on the position of your arrow tip as you attempt to reposition the insertion point.

Visually animating the anchor point

Hello,
I need to do a lot of animation stand type moves on a bunch of still photos... "the ken burns effect" or what have you...
I prefer to do these animations by animating the scale and the anchor point, instead of the center, since that will make the moves a little easier to control, but i can't figure out how to visually change the anchor point, instead of entering numbers, I'd like to use something like the cross hairs i can use to modify the center paramater... possible?
Also, to ease in and ease out of the moves, I am able to smooth the scaling paramater by right clicking on the keyframe and selecting smooth, but no such option appears on the anchor point or center point keyframes, so i can't smoothly finish a move that has both a zoon and a pan...
any suggestions?
Josh

Type a number, any reasonable number (like 35), into the Anchor Point parameters box. In the Canvas, if you set it to show Image + Wireframe, you will see the Anchor Point you just added.
Now, hover your Selector pointer over the point, and your cursor changes to look like the Distortion Tool. Click and drag it. Coopl, huh?
For Ease in/Ease Out, right-click (or Control Click on the Anchor Point in the Canvas. Then you see the Ease in/Ease Out option. Same thing for Center Point.

Suddenly can't merge any anchor points?

I am busy working on creating a big object with many split ways, you can compare it with the streets of NY or something,
Now the first 5-6 hours went great combining anchor points so it is one big object. However now suddenly Illustrator is giving me an error on mergin anchor points, i do them exactly the same as i did the first 5 to 6 hours?
How can i still merge anchor points, i can't find a solution because it got broken in the progress and not on the start like everyone else their problem with merging anchor points....
Please help me and thanks

theraaf,
I apologize for the figure of speech (end of the line).
What I meant was: You can only join two paths end to end, by end Anchor Points.
It sounds as if you are trying to join the end point (or an inner point) of one path to an inner point of the other, like a road junction or a crossing, and that is impossible.
There can only be two segments from each Anchor Point.

How can I move music from my iPod touch to my new macbook.

So here's the deal, I have been using my parents apple ID ever since I bought my first apple product. I have a TON of music stored up on their apple ID (Both cd's and iTunes music). I just got my own apple ID and have successfully transferred my music to my iPod touch. How can I move that music to my new macbook? The macbook is authorized for my parents apple ID and I can download the music that I bought from the iTunes store, but the problem is that I can't move the stuff originally from CD's. Most of the CD's are already trashed, lost, forgotten, and the only copy I have left is on my parents iTunes.
