How do I get arms in both directions on an anchor point?

When I draw a line I usually only get one line on the anchor point to adjust the shape. How can I get two arms, one on each side of the anchor point, so that I can adjust the line on both sides of the anchor point?

Hi Wade,
Thank you so much for that video. I get it.
Just for the sake of clarity, here's what's important:
When you select an anchor point for the purpose of adjusting the shape
of the curve of a line on either side of that anchor point, it is
essential that you are IN THE PEN TOOL, AND that you hold down the
option key BEFORE you select the point. Then you will get TWO
direction lines on either side of the anchor point that you can use to
reshape the line.
One of the reason's it is so confusing is that you can edit a line
simply by clicking an anchor point with the direct selection tool.
It's the two added steps of 1) having to switch to the pen tool and 2)
having to hold down the option key that makes it such an arcane
process to get both the direction lines on either side of the anchor
point.
I have never seen this particular point discussed in any illustrator
book.
Thank you so much for your help.
Best,
Allen

How do i get photos to save directly into my cloud not just my phone?

i purchased extra room on my iCloud and turned on photo stream on my devices. i did this so my photos would be stored on the cloud because i always run out of storage on my phone. firstly, how do i get pictures to start automatically saving into the photo stream? and how do i get photos to save directly into the cloud and not just on my device? I have my cloud connected between my macbook, ipad and iphone. i have mountain lion on my macbook, my ipad was just purchased last week so should be up to date, and have downloaded and installed the most up to date software on my phone.

Hello zampass,
Photos do not take up space on your iCloud storage. Photo Stream is seperate from iCloud storage.
Does Photo Stream use my iCloud storage?
No. Photos uploaded to My Photo Stream or Shared Photo Streams do not count against your iCloud storage.
From: iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4486
I would recommend turning on Photo Stream, outlined in the same FAQ:
How do I turn on Photo Stream?
Once your devices are up to date and you have set up your iCloud account, it’s easy turn on Photo Stream on any of your devices. Here’s how:
On your iOS devices, go to Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream, and turn on My Photo Stream and Shared Photo Streams.
On your Mac, go to System Preferences > iCloud and select the checkbox for Photo Stream. Click the Options button to verify that both My Photo Stream and Shared Photo Streams are enabled. Then, open iPhoto or Aperture to confirm that My Photo Stream and Shared Photo Streams are turned on in the application you want to use with Photo Stream. You can also adjust your Photo Stream settings in iPhoto or Aperture Preferences.
And tell iPhoto to automatically Import the photos to the computer from Photo Stream in the iPhoto Preferences:
That way your Photo stream items will always Automatically download to your computer and you can sync them to whatever device you choose.
When all that is setup, you can delete newer photos as you take them or periodically from the Camera Roll to free up space.
Keep this in mind from the FAQ:
What photo formats does Photo Stream support?
Photo Stream supports JPEG, TIFF, PNG, and most RAW photo formats. Photo Stream does not work with video.
Take care,
Sterling

How can i get sound on BOTH imac and apple tv

The sound works fine on the apple tv Television but goes off on the iMac
Video works on both, so How do I get sound on Both when mirroring?

Go to Settings > Messages > Receive At. Use the same Apple ID. Make sure the phone numbers/email addresses you want to receive messages at are checked.

How do I get notifications on both my iPhone and Apple Watch?

How do I get notifications on both my iPhone and Apple Watch, not just the Watch?

That is correct, I spoke with apple and they told me it's one or the other depending on which one you are actively using at the time. I think it would be very useful to have your phone still vibrate along with your watch, as I've noticed I don't feel the watch most times, even with the prominent touch selection on (i.e. when i'm driving) Then you'd be able to know you got a message or notification from your phone vibrating and then could check the watch, although there would be a second or two delay like when you receive a phone call.

Suddenly, there is a "ghost" page. there is "firefox" in top right corner and "new tab where present page is usually listed. How do i get rid of both? or do i have to drop firefox and use i-net explorer?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

On my Mac Pro how can I get voiceover to start reading at a specific point on a document?, on my Mac Pro how can I get voiceover to start reading at a specific point on a document?

On my Mac Pro how can I get voiceover to start reading at a specific point in a document, and then continue on to the next paragraph and so on? Thank you. Ed

Welcome to the Apple family!!!!
How can I cause the VO cursor(box) show-up/start?
Press Control-Option and F5. The F5 key is located on the top row of keys 6th key over. This is a toggling "Keyboard Shortcut" for turning VoiceOver on and off.
How can I move the VO cursor to various sentences or paragraphs of an article and have it start reading ... and perhaps even continue reading on to the next paragraph(s) ... even to the end of the article?
How to read a website with VoiceOver
Step 1: Go to the Website
A quick keyboard shortcut is Command-L. This will jump you up to the address bar. Start typing where you want to go. i.e "www.thewebsite.com"
Step 2: Working with Webpage
VoiceOver will automatically start reading the website. You can pause the speech by hitting the 'Control Button'.
If VoiceOver does not being reading the webpage, then you might have to "Interact" with it. If VoiceOver say "HTML Content" then press Control-Option-Space-Down Arrow to interact with the webpage.
Use Control-Option-Right Arrow to move throught the website. This will speak "EVERYTHING" on the page.
Most website that I've found have their articles labeled as 'Heading'. You can jump from heading to heading, by pressing Control-Option-Shift-H.
If you'd like an itemized alphabetical listing of the site, press Control-Option-I
Press Control-Option-Space on the link or article you want to view.
Step 3. Reading from Top to Bottom
Once you found and clicked on the the article/link, use the same 'Heading' command, Control-Option-Shift-H to find the title.
After finding the title, press Control-Option-A will start reading from the title on.
Note: If there are any other items (ads, pictures, etc) it will read those too.
Tip: You might be able to activate a feature called the 'Reader'. The Reader isolates the article and elimanates the ads The keyboard command is Shift-Command-R. You can also find it in the Menu Bar (Command-Option-M) under the word 'View' then 'Show Reader'.
I am using a MACPro with OSX, probably Mavericks 10.9 (where would I look to see if that is the correct information?)
You can find this information under the 'Apple menu' in the Menu Bar. To access the Menu Bar, press Control-Option-M.
Go to Apple Menu > About This Mac. This will open up another window. Use Control-Option-Right Arrow until you hear 'Version'. If you purchased it brand new from Apple within the last six month, more than likely you have Mavericks.

The 'Commands Help' Voiceover Menu. Control-Option-H-H. (hit H twice) is my best friend. It's a searchable VoiceOver Menu with most of the VoiceOver command. Example: You are looking for the 'Read Current Paragraph' keyboard command. Press Control-Option-H-H and then type Paragraph. It will then bring up all the commands with the word paragraph. I believe there are three.
As from the Trackpad Commands, I've copied and pasted below from Appendix A: Commands and Gestures

How can I get "IMAQ Line Fit" stable (with the same points)

How can I get "IMAQ Line Fit" stable (with the same points)
I my vision applications I use a lot off times "IMAQ Line Fit"
some times the results are not Stable.
See vi and word document attached.
When I take the same points but in a other order (sort)
then suddenly all points are used.
In this case I was looking for a edge in vertical direction (Y).
I found the points but "IMAQ Line Fit" did not function well.
I tried changing all settings like pixel radius and minimum score and
also threshold and so on. But no result.
Then I sorted the points reversed and that worked. See vi.
I use labview Labview 8.6.0 and IMAQ machine vision.
Maybe this problem is solved in a newer version.
Please let me know.
Thanks

Thank You for your reaction Hossein,
This "one application" uses "Line fit" about 20 000 000 times a day.
about 200 will go wrong. With your setting the the "Line fit" for this occasion will work but others will go wrong.
A algorithm should be:
1e Stable, when using the same points and settings the result MUST be the same. How the points are sorted should not matter.
2e Accuracy
3e Speed
4e Testing. Is very difficult but al least close points and the same points and sorting ... should be done
NI now as made a " IMAQ Line Fit" Problem CAR (Corrective Action request) 298016.
so in the future there will be a update.
In the mean while a made a line fit which uses Bisquare option from Linear Fit.vi :
from C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.6\vi.lib\analysis\6fits.llb
This is a temporary fix because "IMAQ Fit Line VI" is not so stable.
Because outliers should be rejected only Bisquare does this reasonable.
This program does NOT USE "Minimum Score" and "Pixel Radius"
Valid fit = When there are enough points within Outlier_Distance.
Algorithm steps:
- Determine if line is more horizontal then vertical, Compare DeltaX with DeltaY
- If DeltaX <= DeltaY then SWAP X Y and later Swap back
- Sort Points at on X value
- First : Bisquare Linear Fit
- Calculate distances to the found line for all points
- Inliers: Points within Outlier_distance
- Outliers: Points outside Outlier_Distance
- Only use Inlier Points
- Check again if DeltaX < DeltaY then SWAP X Y later SWAP back again
- Second : Bisquare Linear Fit only with the Inlier Points
- Results are from the second fit
Warning : This Program is Not so accurate and Not so fast
See attachments it is in labview 8.6
If some has a improvement please let me know.
Thanks

How can I get my graph to plot vs. my data points instead of vs. time?

how can I get my graph to plot vs. my data points instead of vs. time?

Maybe you could exaplin in a few more words what "my data" is. Are the values equally or randomly spaced?
If they are equally spaced, just adjust offset and multiplier, and axis label.
If they are randomly spaced you are probably looking for an X-Y graph. Check the shipping examples.

Direct selection - moving anchor points with keyboard arrow keys

Hi,
I am using Illustrator CC. I just used the image trace tool to create a vector version of my company logo. It worked pretty well, but I am now just trying to clean it up a bit. I have a few anchor points that I just want to nudge up or down in the smallest increment possible.
I think it would be easier for me to do this using the keyboard arrow keys rather than using the mouse, but the arrow keys cause my selected anchor point to jump by way too large of a distance. I checked to make sure Smart Guides, Snap to Grid, and Snap to Point are all turned off. I can't think of anything else to do.
Can anyone tell me what controls how far the keyboard arrow keys will move an anchor point, and how I can set this to the smallest possible distance?
Thanks in advance,
Paul

Under Preferences (Command-K on Mac), on the first screen there is Keyboard Increment. This is the amount the arrow keys will move selected content, such as anchor points.
I usually keep this at "0.005 in", but when doing things that need extreme accuracy, I change it to "0.0002 in", which on my screen (2560 x 1600) is one pixel at AI's 6400% magnification.

How do you start the Brush tool from a last anchor point?

Hi there,
I'm somewhat almost a complete newb to Illustrator, and would really appreciate some help!
Is there any possible way to continue a brush stroke from your last brush stroke's end point (the anchor point)? For instance, if I drew half of a circle with one brush stroke, and wanted to cleanly complete the circle by having the next brush stroke start from the point where I last finished, how would I do that?
Any help much appreciated! Thanks!

What tool did you use to draw? Since you said brushstroke will assume you used the paintbrush tool.
Double click on paintbrush tool for the options. Change your settings to mine, especially the bottom 2 checkmarks.

I am getting this message: "Please use the add anchor point tool on a segment of a path" -- need help!

Hello guys,
I am new to illustrator and am trying to trace one of my scanned sketches on Illustrator CC. I have been watching tutorials on Youtube.com and have followed every step, but when it comes to using the pen tool, I receive a pop up message reading, "Please use the add anchor point tool on a segment of a path." I researched Adobe forums and came across another discussion with someone who had the same problem. After making the changes that people suggested to the other person's discussion, the problem still occurred with me. I am still getting the same message even after making sure I have deselected Snap to grid, etc. Can anyone please help me out!?

It sounds to me like you're using the Add Anchor Point tool instead of the Pen tool. If you are trying to trace a scanned sketch, you'll be creating content from scratch in which case you want to use the Pen tool. The Add Anchor Point tool can only modify an existing path, it can't create one. Switch to your Pen tool and see if that helps.

How do I get internet on both my Mac Pro and my macbook pro at the same time?

Both are running 10.6.8 operating systems.
There is one ethernet jack in my office. The mac pro does not have a wireless card.
I want to use internet on my macbook pro from the mac pro. I'm thinking internet sharing through ethernet cord (ethernet cord from wall to mac pro, then second ethernet cord from mac pro to macbook pro), or via firewire. Both methods tell me on my macbook pro that I am connected to the internet but when I try to use the internet it fails.
Is this an ip address problem? how do I change that?
suggestions? maybe there is a better way to do this?
Thanks!!

Get a router.
A Apple Airport Extreme router is easy to setup and has extra ports on the back for Ethernet to the MacPro.
This way you'll have Wifi and can take the MacBook Pro anyplace in range and use it, instead of burning up that Firewire port and being on a leash.
You could be having IPv6 issues with the MacBookPro if it's on a later version of OS X.
Look under your network > Advanced TCIP and turn off IPv6, reboot.

Slider -- How can I get NSSlider/NSControl properies directly?

I’m creating an AppleScript Studio application and I'm looking for a way to get and set the value of a slider via AppleScript. All the examples I've found simply explain how to target a text field with Interface Builder -- that perfectly simple. No problem there. I want to access the slider’s value property directly ... and omit the overhead of an additional text field.
Looks like the control’s data cell holds this value, but I don’t know how to call it -- not surprisingly, I’m having a little trouble understanding all the NSControl properties.
Thanks! John

I've read a good bit about AppleScript Studio, but I
haven't found a page that directly addresses this
simple fact. Part of my difficulty is my lack of OOP
background, so I'm having a bit of trouble
interpreting the class properties. It's probably
listed right there, huh. Where did you come across
this useful tidbit?
The AppleScript Studio Terminology Reference is one good place to look for info and examples. And remember to pay attention when you look at the info for a particular interface element to also look at the "Inherits from:" entry right at the top of the info. For example, when you look at the info for a "slider" you'll see that it inherits from a "control" (and a "control" inherits from a "view")... so a "slider" has all the properties listed under the slider section, but also all the properties listed for a "control" and for a "view", etc... on up the inheritance tree.
Presently, in "on clicked" handlers, I'm
distinguishing between button objects by their title.
As I have more than one slider in my main window, I
planned to do the same in "dragged" handlers ...
however IB's Inspector palette doesn't show a slider
name property!
Can I identify the object by it's AppleScript name?
If so, what's the syntax for that? (If indeed this is
possible, it sounds like a much more stable
connection that by referencing with "the title of the
object."
Yes you can definitely identify objects by their AppleScript name. And in my experience it's almost always easier to identify objects by their AppleScript name rather than by their "title". Some items may not have a title and in some cases (such as buttons) you may even want to change the title at runtime based on what's going on in your program. As you might suspect the property you want is "name". The syntax is like this:
<pre>
on clicked theObject
if name of theObject = "YourItemsAppleScriptName" then
-- do something
end if
end clicked
</pre>
Or
<pre>
on clicked theObject
set clickedItem to name of theObject
if clickedItem = "SomeAppleScriptName" then
-- do something
else if clickedItem = "SomeOtherAppleScriptName" then
-- do something else
end if
end clicked
</pre>
