How do you select an image that is in a text box?

Hi There, I am trying to select the image which is inside of the text box. Since I upgraded to Yosemite, I cannot figure out how to do this. If I click and drag the mouse over it, I can select both the text box and the image, but I only want to select the image. Thank you so much!

Pages v5.2.2 on Mavericks, and v5.5.1 on Yosemite do not give you keyboard or pointer access to the image in a Text Box. There is no alignment or distribution control on the image either. No notion of background/foreground. The Text Box really just acts as a viewport for the image. If the image is in the correct aspect ratio, you can fill the Text Box with the image, otherwise it will clip the image.

How do you select an object that is directly under another object?

How do you select an object that is directly under another object?
I was working from a template and I wanted to make a text box the same size as a column box that was put there in order to keep the text in the confines of the paper that is was being printed to.
I could actually put text in each column fine but I wanted it to be in a text box so that I could slightly tilt the test box to compensate for my printer feeding it in slightly wrong. I accomplished this on another template but I could not on this one. If I was working in InDesign or something I know I could just select that layer but I'm at a loss of what to do here. How do I select a column right under a text box? I just thought of something. Once I make the text boxes the same size as the columns I think I can just delete the columns from the inspector. But that would be kind of a work around. I know you can hold down command when nothing is selected from outside the document and then highlight but this is not working. Does anyone have some tips and tricks when it comes to having control over which objects you are selecting when it comes to objects that are overlapped as well as directly over each other.
Thanks.

I'm not sure it's documented any where, but it's not too difficult. First, ⌘-click outside of the layout area to enter object mode then drag the cursor towards the two objects until you see the handles. Now, again ⌘-click on the top object to deselect it. You can now move the underlying object to the front to edit, delete, etc.
After typing this, it dawned on me, why not just click the top object to select it & move it to the back? I've only done the other way a bazillion times & now I think of this.

How do you select an image in keynote?

how do you select an image in keynote? I am trying to reduces my image file size but when clicking on image to reduce it I seem to be selecting the mask and hence format/image does not provide me with an option to reduce the image

Click on it to select.
Click and drag a corner handle to change the image size on screen.
This does not alter the file size.

Mail, how can you remove an image that shows up in the header?

I have no idea how this image got where it is, but I would like to remove it. When I open Mail, I see in the address area of the email as it displays in the message viewer, to the very right of that area, there is an image, that I have no idea how it got there or how to remove. The following is a link (I think) Mail/Users/alaska_juliens/Desktop/Picture 7.png ...... that shows what I am talking about. I have gone through my signatures and made sure that image isn't in there and it isn't. Please help, it is driving my husband nuts, we would love to change the image to his company logo if possible, but we don't know if that image even shows up when others receive email from us or not (we email ourselves and it is right there in the address header of the email). Thank you for your time and help.
Mail/Users/alaska_juliens/Desktop/Picture 7.png

Typically what shows up there is the address book picture for that contact. If they attach an image it will be added to the address book.
So go to the contact in address book and change or delete the image.

How can I add an image to my pop up text box built in Fireworks?

Hello all,
I have already built my page (a map) with all the pop up text boxes in Fireworks and imported them into my Dreamweaver page, but I would like to add an image in that same pop up box as well as the text. I tried going back to Fireworks and editing the pop up box, but there is no option for adding an image alongside the text. Is there a way I can go into the code and add the image? This is a line of code for one of the pop up boxes:
<td rowspan="4"><a href="javascript:;" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore();MM_menuStartTimeout(0)" onmouseover="MM_menuShowMenu('MMMenuContainer1016121037_0', 'MMMenu1016121037_0',25,23,'Plaza_map_r11_c6');MM_swapImage('Plaza_map_r11_c6','','Plaza_ map_r11_c6_f2.jpg',1);"><img name="Plaza_map_r11_c6" src="Plaza_map_r11_c6.jpg" width="30" height="28" border="0" id="Plaza_map_r11_c6" alt="" /></a></td>
I'm trying to avoid rebuilding the whole thing in another program! Thanks very much in advance.

If you have more than one of these, then I would add a class rule to your css style sheet
.fltleft     {
     float:left;
}.fltright     {
     float:right;
Then add this rule to your image.
<img name="Plaza_map_r11_c6" src="Plaza_map_r11_c6.jpg" class="fltleft" width="30" height="28" border="0" id="Plaza_map_r11_c6" alt="" (add new image here) ?>
This will position your image to the left in the container. You can then add the fltright in the same way.

How do you save an image that was downloaded from an email into pages to my album?

I had a friend email me a word document with images in it. The document was downloaded onto my iPad and opened in the pages app. I would now like to save the images from this document into my album so I can use them in other applications. I know how to save from the internet but cant get those save image options when I click on the image in pages. Also had a friend send a powerpoint that downloaded in pages. Would like to use images from that file as well. Help please!

I am taking a guess here. The photo does not actually reside on the iPad or in the document itself, so you can't save it to the camera roll. You are just seeing the image on the screen. It may even print, but the photo itself is not on the device, so you can't save it.
Ask him to email the photo itself.

On CS5, how can I recover jpeg images that were Batch Renamed prior to removal from my flashcard?

On CS5, how can you recover JPEG images that were accidentally Batch Renamed prior to removal from a flash card? Is it a total lose or can they be saved somehow?

If they were renamed on the flash card that is a poor practice. If renamed in Bridge the old names can be recovered it you have checked "preserve original name in XMP". If not you are out of luck. But you still have the images correct?

How do you select and move more than one bookmark at a time?
Shift+Click does not select multiple items that are next to one another in a list because the items open in firefox before this happens.

Use the bookmarks library. You may use Shift +Click, and Ctrl + Click to create groupings of selected bookmarks to drag and drop.
* one method of opening the bookmarks library is keyboard shortcut <br /> Ctrl+Shift+B (Windows)
*see also [[How to use bookmarks to save and organize your favorite websites]]

How do you shuffle the image order when creating a new slideshow in apterture 3? i would like to do this automatically when creating a new slideshow. i see how you do it when you just play a slideshow.

how do you shuffle the image order when creating a new slideshow in apterture 3? i would like to do this automatically when creating a new slideshow. i see how you do it with presets when you just play a slideshow, but i don't see an option to randomly shuffle the slide order when you create a new slideshow. i know you can sort it by different fields, but i want it to be random. thanks.

If you want to rearrange images in random order you can try an AppleScript:
retrieve a list of selected images from Aperture
shuffe the list properly
create an album in Aperture and add the images from the list to the album (make sure that the album set to be orederd manually)
Here is a sample script that shuffles the selected images and displays them in random order in Full Screen Mode:
on removeItem(ims, i)
-- remove the item at position "i" from a list ims
          if ims is {} then return {}
          if (length of ims is 1) then return {}
          if i < 2 then return rest of ims
          if (i = length of ims) then return (items 1 thru (i - 1) of ims)
          if i > (length of ims) then return ims -- should be error?
          return (items 1 thru (i - 1) of ims) & (items (i + 1) thru (length of ims) of ims)
end removeItem
on shuffle_items(ims)
-- shuffle the items of the list "ims" randomly
          local numitems, ims_shuffled, nextrest, nextpick, i
          set numitems to length of ims
          if length of ims < 2 then return ims
          set ims_shuffled to {}
          set nextrest to ims
          repeat until nextrest is {}
                    set i to (random number (numitems - 1)) + 1
                    set nextpick to item i of nextrest
                    set beginning of ims_shuffled to nextpick
                    set numitems to numitems - 1
                    set nextrest to removeItem(nextrest, i)
          end repeat
          return ims_shuffled
end shuffle_items
on shuffleIms()
-- retrieve the selected images from Aperture
-- and display them in random order in full screen mode
          local imageSel, shuffled, i
          tell application "Aperture"
activate
                    set imageSel to (get selection)
                    set shuffled to my shuffle_items(imageSel)
                    set fullscreen to true
                    if imageSel is {} then error "Please select some images."
                    repeat with i from 1 to count of shuffled
                              reveal {item i of shuffled}
delay 3 -- chnage that to the time you want
                    end repeat
                    set fullscreen to false
                    return shuffled
          end tell
end shuffleIms
shuffleIms()
Some more code snippets to go from here:
To create an album:
                    tell library 1
                              if not (exists album "shuffledAlbum") then
make new album with properties {name:"shuffledAlbum", image version:shuffled}
                              end if
                    end tell
And to add the images from the shuffled list to the album:
                    repeat with i from 1 to count of shuffled
                              duplicate item i of shuffled to album "shuffledAlbum"
                    end repeat

How do you make an image or text, appear on every slide?

How do you make an image appear on every slide?

What part did you not understand?
As Andrew said, open the Keynote file, go to the View Menu>Show Master Slides
This is what you should see on the left hand slide of the window. The Master slides are at the top and the check mark goes by the Master Slide that is referenced on which ever slide you have selected in the Slides pane.
Add to the Master slide the image or text that you would like to see on the slides that are made off of that master. You can see in the Title & Bullets master slide, I added the shape in the lower left hand corner and it was added to all the slides build off that master.
If this still isn't clear, let us know where you are getting stuck and we will try to help.

How do you edit text that is in a text box?

How do you edit text that is in a text box? I just want to change the font color of the text. Solution in the Help files recommends selecting the text and then selecting Optional) To make further changes to the text box:
   Using the Select tool or the Text Box tool, click an edge of the text box to select it, and then drag a corner to resize it. Use the Properties toolbar to change the border and fill options.
   Double-click the text box to edit the text or change the text attributes. Drag across text to select it, and then select options from the Properties toolbar.

When I try the above solution I don't have a "Options" in the "Properties" toolbar.
Why would they change a process that was so simple in previous editions to such a hidden awkward process?

Try with a Brightness/Contrast adjustment layer and/or changing the blending mode.
If the effect is too much for the rest of the bulb, you may be able to mask it out.
It would help if you post a representative picture here on the forum page for us to look at.

How do you select multiple messages/conversations on SMS/MMS to forward or save to memory card on Samsung Stratosphere?

How do you select multiple messages/conversations on SMS/MMS to forward or save to memory card on Samsung Stratosphere?
My screen is cracked and I need to replace my phone and I don't see a way of selecting multiple messages or even conversations one at a time to forward them to email or to save them to a memory card. I can delete thread but can't forward it or move it. Is there a setting somewhere that will move the storage location for messages to the memory card instead of internal?
If not, any suggestions on backup apps? I have heard of Txtract to back up SMS and MMS messages, and Titanium Backup to back up everything (SMS, MMS, apps, app data...). Anyone have any experience with those, or other suggestions?
Thanks!
Rich

If you want to see what is in a file that is backed up by time machine then you have to restore the entire file. Having said that I have had good experience with Time Machine and individual files... if the file is there then all of it's components are almost for sure there. A way to get around this in Aperture would be to use referenced images. The images then still exist as individual files and can be backed up and restored individually. You would have to do so on a file by file basis though and your album information would still only be saved within the Aperture library.
