How do you separate vectors of a scanned in drawing to Illustrator CS6?

Hi! So i have drawn a cartoon picture of a man with a mustache. I have scanned in the picture and live traced and cleaned up the image in illustrator. It looks great! However, i now need to make the mustache a separate item from the rest of the drawing. How do separate the vectors so that i have a few pieces of the image instead of just one continuous whole image??

Ah, Marisa.
In that case you will have to cut it loose.
I believe you may (Smart Guides are your friends):
1) Create a path with a small Stroke Weight, preferably with a rather different Stroke Color (you may use red, magenta, or whatever far from black and white), across each transition where you want the moustache to end; it may be curved or straight, just custom make it so that it ends at the edges of the transition between moustache and the rest (Smart Guides will say path);
2) With the path still selected, Object>Path>Divide Objects Below.
If you do that for each transition, you should end up with the moustache as a separate path.
It is past midnight here (more than an hour after midnight according to the dreadful summer time), so it is high time to attend to other duties, before the sun is up.

How do you ungroup or expand a pie chart in Adobe Illustrator CS6?

How do you ungroup or expand a pie chart in Adobe Illustrator CS6? This functionality seems to have been removed. Say I'd like to remove the legend: before, I could ungroup the chart, release its link to the data, and then delete the legend with my white mouse. Object > Expand no longer works either. This is supremely frustrating.

In the end, I closed the dialogue box that shows the data, and was able to choose Object > Ungroup. Then it prompted me saying: "The selection contains a graph. After a graph is ungrouped you will no longer be able to access its graph style, its data or change its graph designs." - Which is what I was looking for. So in short, when the data is open, everything under Object will be greyed out. Additionally, Object > Expand no longer works in CS6.
As a note, before I figured all this out, I resorted to a quick clipping mask to get rid of the legend, since selecting with the direct selection tool (A) and deleting was met with a 'you can't do that' prompt. That worked nicely, and kept the data.

How do you separate the iCloud on two iPads that use the same Apple ID

How do you separate iCloud accounts for people using the same Apple ID

You can share an AppleID between individuals for purchases from iTunes (music, movies, TV shows, books, etc.) while each having an individual iCloud account for syncing your personal calendar, contacts and iCloud files.
In my household......
We have a single AppleID for iTunes purchases which is used on all 8 of our iOS devics and 3 computers. That way all apps purchased from the Mac or iOS app stores or content from iTunes can be used on any device.
Each of us (3 of us) then has our own iCloud account. None of our iCloud accounts are the same as the AppleID. The iCloud accounts are used for device backups, contact and calendar syncing, iCloud document files and photostream.
This way, we all share apps and media, but our contacts and calendars are not mixed and neither are our documents. Each person having their own iCloud account also helps with space when dealing with device backups.

How do you separate multiiple ios devices using the same apple id account for Face Time calls and iMessaging?

The only way I have seen is to have each device use a if fervent email account, if they all are on the same email the FaceTime connection is either to a phone number or to an email address. If they ar all on the same email, it is up to the user to decide which to use.

How do you run a full virus scan

How do you run a full virus scan on the Imac

Take a look at this article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phishing
Running a virus scan would not help at all - someone got your email address and is now hoping you're dumb enough to use the links they provided and give them information so they can use your credit card or checking acount number, password, etc.
I would change my user name and password immediately (if not sooner!!) - make it difficult to guess. Do it at least with the bank involved; however, to be safe, it wouldn't hurt doing it with others as well.

How do you separate bookmarks for two different users on the same computer?

My wife and I use the same desktop and the same Firefox browser. Is there a way to have separate bookmark lists for each of us? We don't really need subtopics or other organizers, just two separate lists.

Either separate Windows User Accounts or separate Firefox Profiles will give you separate bookmarks lists, but all your personal data will be separate - passwords, extensions, browsing history, etc. I haven't seen an addon that will give you separate bookmarks storage within the same Firefox Profile.

How do you export to mobile (iPhone 5S) in After Effects CC CS6

I can't figure out how to export a video animation I did in AE CC CS6 to be playable on iPhone 5S full screen and res. I can get it to play small and centered and when I try to fix this it goes all black. Please help!!

First question, how are you getting the video to your iPhone? Second, is the video horizontal or vertical? Third, what happens when you rotate your screen. Video on my iPhone always fills the screen if the video orientation matches the orientation of the phone. IOW, if the phone is vertical and the phone is horizontal the video fills the width but there are bars top and bottom. If the video is vertical and the phone is horizontal the video has black bars on the left and right side.

How can I resolve: cannot save any type of image in Illustrator CS6 on Windows XP SP3?

I have a user who is on Windows XP SP3 and he cannot save any images in Illustrator CS6. When he selects eitheer of the save buttons, the location window comes up but nothing happens after that. We have given him admin rights and permissions for the computer and Illustrator, the UAC is off, we have deleted the pref folder, and we have done a reinstall of the software . Other users can log onto the same machine and Illustrator works fine for them, but; this particular user, who is the primary user of the computer, cannot save his work using the program. How can we fix this

Flush out temp files and check disk permissions and quota. He may simply be running out of local storage space.

How do you make Vector Text in Photoshop to import to Flash 8?

I'm trying to make some nice text for a logo in photoshop,
but how do i export it as a vector into Flash so it will not
distort?

Check your settings in Flash before copy / paste from
Illustrator (Edit > Preferences or Ctrl U). Select 32 bits for
Color Depth. Set the size limit to a higher value. Select Best for
the Gradient quality.
And if copy / paste would not work fine, you could still
export from Illustrator as a SWF.
Best regards,

How do you separate the Servers for UCCX?

Hello, We are current on version 8.0.2 uccx servers. We are planning to separate the servers. We will keep one at our location and the other one will be in another location. Can someone tell me where I can find the procedures needed to do this? Will I also need to change anything in CUCM. Any documentation would be appreciated.
Thanks for your help

Once you remove the Standby (Second) server from the cluster, it will just be a server with software on it. You then need to redo the post install configuration and add it back to the cluster, but this time choose the HAoWAN.
The Master(First) server is all the brains in the cluster. The Standby is just a copy of the Master, in a matter of speaking.
To learn more about how they communicate, you can look at the SRND for CCX 8.0, but there is a lot of network and system level speak about it.
I would suggest opening a TAC case and having them walk you thru it.

How do you run a virus/ malware scan on Gen3 Time Capsule

My late 2010 MacBook Pro was completely wiped out the other day, and a friend of mine who is a techie determined that something completely everything. I mean everything! No boot function...nothing!
I was hoping it was just a HDD failure, since I've had it replaced once before. I noticed before the crash, when I ran "repair disc," then "verify disc" that all these error messages came up. I called Apple Care, and he made me an Apple Genius appointment that day at my nearest store. Long story short, he could not do anything more, since once he removed the casing, he noticed what could have been a liquid spill, which of course, voids Apple Care. Thank God my friend is a tech wizard.
He took it home with him, completely took it apart, rane various hardware diagnostics on it, there was no liquid spill, the HDD does work, the logice board isn't damamged, it was just wiped out.
My Mac was acting funny the last few days, and the fan kept running constantly, so as a precaution I backed everything up to the Time Capsule and another portable hard drive. So the problem is, if I downloaded something and it's now just waiting in one, if not both, of those backups, how can I make sure it doesn't get transfered over once I restore all my files?
Thanks.
Mike

It's most likely not due to any malware infection.
http://www.thesafemac.com/mmg-infected/#spam
If you still want to do a scan, then a good bet is to get the free Sophos. But be warned, no A-V will find everything (definitions for any particular infection first have to be in the A-V catalog), and it may turn up false positives.

How do you separate jpeg sidecar file from cr2?

I now see that the preference to treat jpegs as separate files is an import preference. So now I have some jpeg_+cr2 files that show up in grid view. Other than going into explorer and deleting it, is there a way to separate and remove the jpeg in LR?

If you shoot jpeg+raw there are two methods for handling files determined by the settings in:
Edit >> preferences >> general (tab)
The box “Treat JPEG files next to raw files as separate photos” is checked
LR will import both copies and show both copies in the Library Grid.
You can optionally stack to avoid clutter so that one thumbnail is displayed for each pair.
Photo >> Stacking >> Auto-Stack by Capture Time
Set the time between stacks to zero so that only those with the same capture time are stacked.
The box “Treat JPEG files next to raw files as separate photos” is left un-checked
Lightroom will add both raw and jpeg to the folder on your hard drive but will only display the raw image in the Library, treating the jpeg as a sidecar.
This is my preferred method because if you use LR to move a raw file the jpeg automatically travels with it. And I have a jpeg in the folder for instant upload to social media, even before I start rating and editing the raw images.
Obviously it’s a personal choice whichever method suits you. But to answer your original question; if you use method one you can use the library filter (press the backslash key and choose text) and e.g. type jpg so that the filter reads:
Any Searchable Files >> Contains All >> jpg
Then try using jpeg
For the second method, you would simply delete jpeg files from the folder but that would break the sidecar link.
