How do I make outlines to be able to cut on a vinyl Plotter?

I am trying to set up numbers to be able to cut on a vinyl plotter. I have created the numbers and put a stroke on them. How could i be able to cut them when sent to the vinyl plotter>
This image shows the points that have the outline. I need to have these points moved to the outer edge.

You can expand strokes in two ways:
Object > Expand and you get a dialogue box.
Or Object > Path > Outline Stroke which does pretty much the same (except for dashed strokes).
Expanding strokes means that the strokes turn into separate parallel filled compound paths.
Having done that, Pathfinder Unite puts everything together into simple filled objects.
So step 3 (that last Expand) shouldn’t be necessary. Not quite sure what it is that is puzzling you.

How can I make sucesfuly a DVD on Final Cut Pro

Hi I wonder wo can help with this problem

If you have finished a project export it as a quicktime movie...the higher the quality of this movie, the better will be the quality of the DVD you get. I have found out that the codec Pro Ress 4444 gives a high quality of DVD than a movie with a Pro Ress 422 {HQ} codec.
After you have your exported movie, right click upon the file and click the option burn to disc...see the screenshots given below:
Happy burning!

what on earth are you talking about -0p2 equals 2 pts because there is no such thing as -0 picas so what you are left with is 2.
You’re usually right about a lot of things, especially Illustrator, but you’re wrong about this one, Wade.
Why does -0p3 work in InDesign? Why does -1p0 or -1p6 (ie -18 pt) work in Illustrator? When I use the cursor keys to increment values I can press up to increase the increment by 0p3, but I cannot go below 0p. Press down and the value goes to 0p3.0
to write -0p2 is a bit crazy when you should be writing -2pt. The whole thing you want fixed is a bit strange i can't imagine why you would even need this.
Look at this screen shot of the control panel from Illustrator 15:
If I enter -3pt when the default units are picas, the dialogue changes it to this:
“-0p3’ means -3 points, using the long established convention that PageMaker, InDesign, Photoshop, QuarkXPress, FreeHand, and (except for this bug) Illustrator have supported for years.
Bug.

How would I be able to bring the GHz and memory up on an Air? How can I make it badass?

How would I be able to bring the GHz and memory up on an Air? How can I make it badass?

I should clarify a point ...
Macbook Air solders memory onto the motherboard. It cannot be upgraded.
Macbook Pro has memory slots that allow SODIMMs (the memory cards) to be replaced, up to the limit of the motherboard.
My 15 in MBP can upgrade to 16 GB. But 16 GB for my machine is still $600 at cheapest. I will be staying at 8 GB for a while.

You showed a kernel panic file from OS X, apprantly Log Me In is installed into OS X or running when you log in.
You should be using the developers installer/unistaller to remove Log Me In from OS X.
Somehow it's in OS X, I don't know, but it's there and you need to remove it. I'm not dealing with Windows, just OS X.
Talk to Log Me In people and find out what is installed where so you can do a manual deletion out of OS X.
If that doesn't work, you have to reboot holding the Shift key down manually search for any Log Me In or Himachi files on your computer, in your System/Library/Extensions folder too, use the free Easy Find.

How do you make a 2D line form the outline of a circle.

How do you make a 2D line form the outline of a circle. I want a line to come in from the side of the screen and bend round to form the outline of a circle. In flash pro cc?

you can use one tween to move your line from the side of the screen, then another (shape) tween to bend it into a circle. you will probably need to use shape hints for the 2nd tween.

I downloaded a program to be able to open docx diles and now every time I try to open one there are endless new tabs that read "new Tab" scrollomig across the top of the screen. How do I make it stop?

I had an old version of office so I tried to install a free download that will allow me to open docx files. Now when I try to open one and endless stream of tabs that say "New Tab" scrolls across the top of the page. How do I make it stop. I already went and got office 2010 but it is still doing it. It does not do it if I use Internet Exployer for the browser.

See [[Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows]]

In windows 8 how do you make the bookmarks column "flexible"? I used to be able to make it narrower.

Windows 8 how do you make the bookmarks column "flexible"?

Is the problem with the Bookmarks Sidebar -- the one you can open and close by pressing Ctrl+b? It does seem to have a minimum width and won't get narrower than that, but I'm not sure whether you are running into that limitation or whether for some reason you are not getting the resizing arrow when you mouse over the thin border between the sidebar and the page.

How do I make one account's home folder visible to the other?

How do I make one account's home folder visible to the other? Also, when I begin to delete an account, it asks if I want to either delete its home folder, keep it in the users folder, or save it in a disk image. I want to be able to see it from my remaining account once I delete it, so if I leave it in the users folder, would I be able to see all the files (right now I can't

Use terminal to add ACL to the account,
at the prompt:
sudo chmod -R +a "<user> allow list,addfile,search,delete,add_subdirectory,delete_child,readattr,writeattr,readextattr, writeextattr,readsecurity,file_inherit,directoryinherit" /User/<user_name> #yep, all that goes on one line!#
#Replace <user> with the user name that you want to have file/folder privileges#
#Replace <user_name> with the account you want to process#
example:
sudo chmod -R +a "sue allow list,add_file, .... deletechild,readsecurity,file_inherit,directoryinherit
/User/joe
#sue now gets full access to joe's files and folders#
to remove:
sudo chmod -R -a "sue allow list,add_file, .... deletechild,readsecurity,file_inherit,directoryinherit
/User/joe
You can add as many users as you want! Just lather, rinse repeat. That is how I share my itunes
directory with the ones I want to share it with.
That's the simplest way. ACL permissions overrule posix permissions.

How do I make iCloud work between my Mac and my iPhone as suggested in the video's on Apple's website ?

I'm trying to share a set of Numbers projects between my MacBook and my iPhone.
I notice that iWork.com does NOT do what I am expecting from the Apple Video's : it only allows me to consult documents through Safari, but not to open one directly from iCloud.com in the appropriate app for editing ...
Through file sharing in iTunes it seems to work for one of the projects ... but another project which has multiple tabs and rather long tables doesn't open on my iPhone due to "unknown error" ...
Even then, the iTunes file sharing process can hardly be called seemless, and in no way even approaches what is suggested in the video's :
The video's suggest that when working on a file on one device, then picking up another device the file will show the changes ...
In reality here's what I have to do to make a change on the file on my Mac, share it with the iPhone, then change something on the iPhone and share it back with my Mac :
1. save the changes to the document
2. add the document to iTunes file sharing
3. sync my iPhone
4. open Numbers on my iPhone
5. add the document from iTunes
6. open it
7. make a change
8. sync the iPhone
9. choose "save as ..." in iTunes to overwrite the copy on my Mac
10. open the document in Numbers on the Mac
Guess what ... when making a new change, I have to go back in iTunes, delete the link to the document and add the document again in order to be able to share the change ...
I would expect the syncing with iTunes to at least take care of the file updating on the respective copies on Mac and iOS device ... apparently not so.
Anyone knows how to really make Documents In The Cloud work ?

Oops, I forgot a step between 7 and 8 ... before syncing the iPhone I need to explicitly send the document back to iTunes on the iPhone, or the changes won't come over at all ...
and then one more thing ... Numbers on iOS does NOT recognize a number of key features of the OSX app, such as conditional formatting ... so after editing my document on iOS and syncing it back to OSX on my Mac, all of those settings are lost (no more conditional formatting, have to do it all over again)
What am I doing wrong ?

How do I make my computer the primary for my iPhone 3G?

How do I make my computer the primary for my iPhone 3G? I am able to load music from my iTunes library but unable to delete music or create playlists on the phone from itunes. The computer I set the phone up with (primary) was destroyed.

There is no "main" or " primary" account.
Iphone, ipod touch, ipad will sycn with one and only one computer at a time. Syncing to another will indeed erase the current content from the device and replace with content from the new computer.
Copy everything from the old computer or your backup copy of the old computer, to the new one.
