How do I make a vector artwork not an image?

This question is worded kind of oddly, but I am having trouble with Adobe illustrator cc right now. I apologize as I have just started using adobe illustrator, but I have encountered a problem where I have two images that I've traced and they are grouped together. I'm not so sure of my exact movements, but they are two images that I've drawn, and they aren't functioning as two images. When I double click the "image", I have the option of move particles and not seperate the two images. I know for certain that they are not grouped together. The image below is what I mean by they can be moved.

You have created a hierachy of clipping masks. Those are in fact grouped and all of this stuff is somewhat more complicated than necessary.
You need to release the clipping masks in order to move them independently. But when you do, your objects might loose their fills.
You should read the manual on how to color your objects without using clipping masks.

How can I make my imap email not take the emails off the server?

How can I make my imap email not take the emails off the server when I delete them on my iPad?
Can anyone help me whith this?
I tried to use the pop account in gmail settings but that was downloading all my emails sice 2008 ( more than 300 deleted emails tha can only be found in the deleted email box), when I just have 5 or 6 email in the inbox .
How can I solve this????
Thank u all...

I have the same problem. For years I have been able to delete emails from my ipad and have them remain on the server so I can deal with them on the desktop. Now they get deleted from the server when deleted from the ipad, which makes the ipad unless for reading mail.
You answered to delete the email account on the ipad and set up a new one as a pop. I have made many attempts to do that in the incomping mail server "Host Name" field but it always errors out even when the host name is equal to what my desk top has. So I can see no way to change away from IMAP. I started with an ipad 1 and now have an ipad 2.

I want to delete my icloud-account from my iphone 5 and then register again, because I want to change my email-address/account name. What would be the steps to follow? How do I make sure I do not lose any information stored on/in my iphone 5?

You would have to delete the existing iCloud account and create a wholly new one - you cannot change the @icloud.com email address of the one you already have. To make a new one, you will also need an new AppleID as any AppleID can only have one iCloud account associated with it.
Deleting the account will not delete anything off your device (if prompted for things like contacts, choose to keep them). You will have to sync everything anew with the new account as you cannot move your sync'd content, your old backups or anything else from one iCloud account to another. You will have to set up sync again and let it sync to the new account, and then make new backups to the new account as well.

How can I make different catalogs from the same image

How can I make different catalogs from the same image where that image has been changed in some way between the catalogs. For instance if I wanted to have a catalogs for cropped images and have 3 catalogs one for 4x6 , 5x7 and 8x10 cropping. When I tried this , if I changed a file in one catalog that same image in the other would change also.

Do not confuse the creation of the crops and the display in collections per crop ratio.
Of course one virtual copy (VC) per crop ratio is needed. If the same image should be cropped in all 3 mentioned ratios there would be 3 VCs.
The OP asked how to have/see a set of same-crop-ratios.
After having created the virtual copies for whatever crop ratio he wants, the way to display this result in the fashion asked for is via smart collections, provided they can be found. Without a plugin the naming of the VC with the crop ratio applied is a straight way to achieve that.
IF the wish is to get new crops automatically added. (See my answers 2+3)
IF the wish is to creat static collections per crop ratio for a certain set of images, I'd go as follows:
1. Select all images you want to have cropped in that way,.
2. With this selection click on the + to add another collection and fill the dialog box like this:
Then navigate into this newly created selection and perform the 4x6 crop - according to taste individually or by synchronizing the first crop.

Doing what worked in 2006 does not produce password protection even though I have typed one in and re-entered it as requested. Clicking on the Disk image opens it without asking for the password. I am stumped. Many thanks.

Yeah, nobody does. They should put up a custom password save box when you make an encrypted disk image that explains what will happen if you store the password in the keychain. In the current "how-to" article, they mention it, though: How to create a password-protected (encrypted) disk image - Apple Support

I have a test with some questions (multiple choice, FIB, matching, etc). I have just one button to submit all the answers, and after submiting the student can see his score and review the test to know where he failed. He can't answer again. However, he can change the answer multiple times before submiting.
"if i turn on success/failure captions the student will see them while answering" - before submitting
"if i turn them off he wont know what's the right answer" - after submitting
My results page is the default. I didn't use any variable. When i go to the results page after reviewing the test all the entry boxes are "wrong".

How can I make ANY vector graphics with graphics2D and save on clipboard?

I am at my wits end here, and need some help. Simply put, I have a program that creates a basic x-y graph, drawn in a jpanel. I want to create the graph as a vector (emf, eps, svg, I don't care anymore, any of them would be good). But, all I get is a jpg or bitmap.
I tried using the infamous FreeHEP programs, but it won't recognize the output as anything but "image" which means bitmap/jpg.
     The user enters x/y data, clicks a button, which crreates a jpanel thusly:
public class GraphMaker extends JPanel {
static BufferedImage image = new BufferedImage(600, 500, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
GraphMaker(double[] xVals, double[] yVals, double[] sems){
setPreferredSize(new Dimension (600,500));
symSize = 10;
XminV = 0;
XmaxV = 0;
// code here just converts input x and y's to pixel coordinates, spacing of ticks, etc...
for (int i =0;i < ArLn; i++){
gX[i] = xO + (gX[i] * xRat);
gX[i] -= xStart;
gY[i] = gY[i] * yRat;
gY[i] = yEnd - gY;
semVal[i] = semVal[i]*yRat;
     Ymin = yEnd - (Ymin*yRat);
     Ymax = yEnd - (Ymax*yRat);
BufferedImage anImage = new BufferedImage(600, 500, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
Graphics2D g2 = anImage.createGraphics();
g2.setBackground(white);
g2.setColor( Color.WHITE );
g2.fillRect(0,0,600,500);
g2.setStroke(stroke);
// here I use the values to draw lines and circles - nothing spectacular:
          g2.setPaint(Color.blue);
          int ii = 0;
          for ( int j = 0; j < ArLn[ii]; j++ ) {
g2.fill(new Ellipse2D.Float(LgX[ii][j] - symOffst, gY[ii][j]-symOffst, symSize,symSize));
g2.draw(new Line2D.Float(LgX[ii][j],(gY[ii][j]-semVal[ii][j]),LgX[ii][j],(gY[ii][j]+semVal[ii][j])));
g2.draw(new Line2D.Float(LgX[ii][j]-2.0f,(gY[ii][j]-semVal[ii][j]),LgX[ii][j]+2.0f,(gY[ii][j]-semVal[ii][j])));
g2.draw(new Line2D.Float(LgX[ii][j]-2.0f,(gY[ii][j]+semVal[ii][j]),LgX[ii][j]+2.0f,(gY[ii][j]+semVal[ii][j])));
                    g2.draw(new Line2D.Float(xLoVal[ii],yLoVal[ii],xHiVal[ii],yHiVal[ii]));
image = anImage;
And, when the user clicks on the "copy" button, invokes this:

          POSTSCRIPT_FLAVOR,
          DataFlavor.stringFlavor
     private static JPanel chart;
     private int width;
     private int height;
     public Freep(JPanel theGraph, int width, int height) {
          this.theGraph = Graphs;
          this.width = width;
          this.height = height;
//******This is the key method right here: It is ALWAYS imageFlavor, never anything else. How do I make this an EPS flavor?

ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
     public DataFlavor[] getTransferDataFlavors() {
          return supportedFlavors;
     public boolean isDataFlavorSupported(DataFlavor flavor) {

          return false;
     public void lostOwnership(Clipboard arg, Transferable arg1) {
The same happens with FreeHEP - I want the flavor to be EMF, but the program sees an image so it is always imageFlavor. I know I am missing something, but what, I don't know.
thanks for your help.

I don't think there's a built-in solution. One workaround I've seen is to create a dummy graphics class that overrides the desired drawing functions. Instead of actually drawing pixels, the object writes postscript commands to a buffer. There also seems to be commercial code that does exactly this.

How do you make java components paint to an image?

I tried having a JPanel as one of my instance variables inside my class.
In the paint method i called paint on the JPanel and passed in a graphics2D object created from an image.
But JPanel does not paint on my image. How do I make it do that?
Basically I want to do some effects on text, but do not want to be bothered about text layout. So I want my JLabel to paint its output on an image and then I can do the effects with the image.
Thanks,

Create an image, get it graphics and call the paint method of the label.
Graphics g = image.getGraphics();
label.paint(g);
The label must be added to a container and visible.

that is the message how do i correct this problem

It sounds like your file associations are messed up and Reader is trying to open your .jpg files. Is this correct?
If so, you just need to change the associations to choose what application opens them. Here's how: Change File Associations in Mac OS X

How do I make my accordion spry not "jump" or "hiccup" in IE??

Ok, sorry you guys, I'm a newbie.
It seems that no matter what I do, I can't get the accordion to co-operate with Internet Explorer. It has always jumped when tabs are clicked and then settles down. It's rather irritating and I would like to fix it. I've run out of things to try. Can anyone help?
In addition, with attempts to make keep the accordion and background centered I used a div with the position centered, which worked, but only in FF and Chrome. In IE it stays far left. When I had it in a table, I could set a left: px in the class, but never figured out how to center it with a table so it would change position based on the monitor resolution. If there's a better way to do this that IE and other browsers like, please help me. If it's just IE that has the problem is there any way to make it like my code?
If you can help me change the height of the accordion, that would be great. It seems it doesn't want to stretch out, but maybe I'm writing it in the wrong section or the wrong way.
Another minor issue is the IE not doing the transparency I set on the tabs. I heard that they took that feature out. Is that true or is there a way to set it for IE?
Here's what I have so far:

You would make this a little easier if you posted a link to the page.
Most of the jump seems to be some extra padding or margin between the tabs when you rollover, but I am not able to find it. Is there any other css that is governing this page? I did remove a couple of <p></p> set of tags you had and it improved the jump, but it is still there.
If the page is live, run it through the validator http://validator.w3.org/ , fix whatever errors it finds, if you still have the jump, post a link to the page and the issue might get found.

How can I make the jsp pages not displayed by using the navigation class?

I'm right now implementing a function on my program GUI . It's like whenever I click "STOP THE SERVER" button on the main page, I need those jsp pages relates to the server running to be not displayed, even by directly type in the URL(that's just stay in the main page), How can I do that? I heard that a navigation class might do it, but I'm not sure how. It might be great if some experts could help me!! Thanx a million !!

How do I make Mail stop showing notes in my inbox?

The obvious answer is to turn off the "show notes in Inbox" option in the Mailbox Behaviours tab of Account Info, but that option is not sticking. Mail in Lion keeps re-enabling the "show notes in Inbox" option across Mail restarts. The checkbox is not disabled -- it lets me turn it off, and after a view refresh it will stop displaying notes for the session. But when I restart mail, my notes are back, cluttering up my inbox.
I checked my com.apple.mail.plist file in ~/Library/Preferences, and the <key>MailShowNotes</key> was <true/> regardless of what I select in the Account Info dialog. I used a text editor to explicitly set the option to <false/> when Mail was not running, and now the option in the plist files stays <false/>, but Mail keeps showing notes in my inbox.
I thought maybe it was a file permissions problem, because after a clean Lion install and Migration Assistant migration of my user account, all the files in my user directory were marked with the ACL permission "group:everyone deny delete". That setting causes all manner of grief, as Lion was unable to unlock files when I clicked Unlock after being prompted, and so Lion was unable to re-save any of my files. Other settings like desktop wallpaper also refused to stick. I used chmod at the command line to strip that setting off of all my files and then finally Lion started working properly.
However, the com.apple.mail.plist file in ~/Library/Preferences, and its permissions, seem to get recreated with every Mail session. It does not have the "group:everyone deny delete" ACL permission set.
Seems to be a bug in Mail, or some other source that is overriding the preference.

I have been having similar issues with syncing notes, but do not want them to show up in my 'inbox' either.
I have tried both methods below in Lion Mail:
1. Try rebuilding the mailbox and see what happens (Mailbox > Rebuild). If that does nothing, consider going to System Preferences > Mail, Contacts, & Calendars and unchecking iCloud. Let it do its thing and confirm that the account isn't shown in Mail any more. Then quit Mail and turn on iCloud again. Now is it gone when you launch Mail?
2. Mail -> Preferences -> mailbox behaiors tab and uncheck "show notes in inbox"...I cannot do this as it won't let me save the setting, comes up with a message- The “Incoming Mail Server” field cannot be empty.
The 'Incoming Mail Server' field is not empty, although it is greyed out (p03-imap.mail.me.com) so cannot change it? Anyone else having this issue and know how to resolve it?
