How to get rid of "Double Paths" (ex-Strokes)?

Hello everyone,
as promised, I am back with a new question !
So, I feel that I have made quite some progress on Illustrator, but this one drives me mad!
I have created this beautiful artwork using the pen tool, expanding it, making live-paint groups and various other stuff (I don't know in which particular order) and, visually, am quite happy with the outcome. BUT, in the process, my strokes at some point, got turned into filled paths - which I don't particularly like, since I wanted to play around with the outlines a bit, to create different looks and feels.
In short: I want it to be like this, with single strokes
BUT it looks like this:
How do I get rid of that? Is it actually possible?
I have searched the Internet for quite some time - one option suggests to "unite" paths with the pathfinder, but that doesn't seem to do anything.
After some more back-and-forth expanding (I am really lacking process routine in this programme ) it DOES work, but blacks either my complete- or partial artwork. Any tips?
Thank you in advance, and kind regards
M

Max,
expanding it,
I am afraid that has outlined your strokes (and added many Anchor Points).
Sometimes outlining should be called ouchlining.
Sometimes the way back from something quick and easy is long and hard or (more or less) impossible.
Live Paint may also cause some distress, such as new paths you may be unaware that you have.
Do you still have the original unexpanded and unlivepainted artwork?
It is recommendable to make a backup of any artwork you have created before you destroy it (make irreversible changes), at least until your are certain (that you will remain certain).

Settings App > Music > Show All Music > turn toggle off. Restart music app. Or is that what you tried?
If so, go to Settings > Cellular > switch music and iTunes off. Keep in mind that you'll need to turn this back on to shop/download from iTunes.

How to get rid of double quotes from generated DDL

When you click on a table and then SQL, the genrated DLL script has double quotes around the schema name, tablename, column name...... Is there a way to get rid of them ?

I don't personally care about backward compatibility ... I am not going backwards. I hate the quotes, they take space, we DO NOT use spaces in our naming conventions. And I do NOT want the user's name in the code generated. As it is, I have to export what SQL Developer says, strip out the quotes, reformat the whole thing, then reload it.
So ... is there a way to turn off this "feature" in SQL Developer? I looked in Preferences but could find no reference to it.
Thanks, whomever, for your response / time.

Hi
Thank you for the reply.
No I have not deleted anything, this all happened automatically when the trial period ended.
Other than an old version of Photoshop (version 7, for which I do have a serial number, I don't have any other Adobe software - just the reader which is now not working)
I was trialling Dreamwever but couldn't get started with it so am paying someone else to set up the website using Wordpress.

How can I get rid of the path in Type on a Path?

Greetings
Now I really feel stupid. First I couldn't find the magin tabs, now I can't get rid of the path. I have a feeling I might need to start over, but is there a way to lose the path and still have the text?

You should highlight the text that is on the path, copy it using Ctrl+C / Command+C and then
place a new text tool cursor elsewhere on the page and paste the text into that cursor. Then delete
the old occurrence of the text on path.

How to get rid of the SAP BPC "three globes" startup screen?

Hi,
I am trying to figure out how to get rid of the SAP BPC "three globes" startup screen when we start BPC. I do not want it to pop up.
I looked at VBA behind the workbooks but could not find anything. Could not make the sheet invisible.
Is there a way to get rid of the screen? This is the screenshot

Re: How to change the logo, (3 Globes) on the launch page
Posted: Mar 18, 2009 12:46 PM in response to: David Fletcher Reply
OK then, now v7sp03 for microsoft has hit the shelves, you can change the logo !!!
It is quite easy.
Have the logo file ready in either BMP, GIF or JPG format.
Put it in your "Server Install -> DataWebFolders[Appset]" folder (so where you keep your files).
In ApplicationSet parameters, add the parameter COMPANY_LOGO and in the options type the name of the file you just put on the server.
Now if you restart BPC for Excel, the second excel page that pops up should be showing your new logo or graphic (mine did).
The use of the logo has been documented in the admin manual -> working with appset parameters
Some tips.
I wanted not to clutter the filesystem so i put my logo in the appsetpublications folder and added the path accordingly in the parameter (so now it reads appsetpublicationslogoname.jpg instead of just logoname.jpg).
If you do not supply a name (only the parameter), your second Excel window (normally holding the graphic) will not appear. That could be an alternative too if you find that whole thing annoying.
Hope this helps you build great BPC apps,

How to get rid of the new bottom layer with piano roll etc. in arrange??

Hey guys,
Just a quick question i suppose.
I work with 2 screens.
When I double click a midi event, i want the piano roll to open in a floating window, just like it used to be, and not in the new bottom layer (pop up) bar in the bottom of the arrange window. I want this because i like to edit on the second screen while still haveing an overview of my arrange on my 1st screen.
Does anyone know how to do this? Or perhaps know how to get rid of this new bar all together?
I hope someone does....
thanks in advance!
cheers,
PM

how annoying is it to go to a seperate screen set and then click a midi region just to edit it?
You haven't grasped the concept of screensets.
In the "old" way of working, in your arrange, you double-click on a region, which opens that region in an editor. You may have to move the editor position/size etc. You make your edits, and then close the window.
The screenset way of doing this is simpler and quicker. In your arrange, you select your region (one click, rather than a double click). You then hit a key command, lets' say "2" to switch to your editor screenset, which has the eitor or combination of editors you use, in link mode. As soon as you hit your 2 key, the editors will be recalled at the precise locations you specified, showing you the contents of your selected region.
When you are finished editing, just hit "1" to go back to your main arrange window.
Once you get used to this, you'll find it's a lot quicker and more efficient than all that rsi double clicking and window closing...

My ipad one sometimes stop responding ,like the apps get hanged and return back to homescreen. how to get rid of this bummer

my ipad sometimes gets hanged while in apps . but when it gets hanged , its comes to homescreen and stops responding
how to get rid of this problem

Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Then reset: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

Restore problem - how to get rid of corrupt database ?

Folks,
Some dumb developer managed to trash on of our Oracle database by doing a mistake in SQLDev.
This database was / is using the "autobackup" feature as proposed in the installation wizard.
For some reason it would seem that the restore is not complete, tough.
I get an error when mounting the database
ORA-01248: file 5 was created in the future of incomplete recovery
ORA-01110: data file 5: <path to file>
not sure to understand what happened but I can live without that specific database assuming the others are ok.
Any advise as of how to get rid of that specific database and enjoy the rest of the server ?!
Nest step will be to understand why autobackup is not doing what it is supposed to do...
This is Oracle 11g standard on Oracle Linux.

1. What statement did the developer issue? What did they do?none - they used the SQLDevelopper GUI to copy tables form db1 to db2
2. What system table was affected?SYS tables where unintentionally affected.
3. What does "erased" mean? DELETE statements? TRUNCATE? UPDATE?
4. What does "corrupted" mean?Corrupted in the sense that the SYS table content was mangled to the extent that the database engine would not run anymore (the database process would not start). This has been fixed after the recovery.
Run some SQL statements and show us what you are referring to. We can not recommend a fix based on what you've posted.Well I can run many statements on a database that will not go into an open state...
Just to repeat the above:
lSQL> startup;
ORACLE instance started.
Total System Global Area 845348864 bytes
Fixed Size 1339796 bytes
Variable Size 532680300 bytes
Database Buffers 306184192 bytes
Redo Buffers 5144576 bytes
Database mounted.
ORA-01589: must use RESETLOGS or NORESETLOGS option for database open
SQL> alter database open resetlogs;
alter database open resetlogs
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01248: file 5 was created in the future of incomplete recovery
ORA-01110: data file 5: '/home/oracle/beautec/data/MODM_tab_0100.dat'
Again I can live without that shema assuming it is the only one having problems - but I can't drop it as far as I know...
That said I can log in as SYS and perform a drop database followed by using DBCA to create a new database in less than 20 minutes. Which I expect is more
time than you've spent working with this so far.No point to get insulting - I spent much more than 20m on the issue. Unfortunately - as you have probably understood from my earlier posting - my DBA expertise is limited. That's the very reason I am looking for help.
I can do
shutdown abort;
startup mount exclusive restrict;
drop database;
exit
but that's the whole database going into the toilet - a bit extreme...

I have a new iPhone 5S. While trying to learn about it, I accidentally recorded a voice memo with no content. I cannot now figure out how to get rid of it. There is a banner across the top of my phone with this memo which I don't want. I have deleted it from iTunes but cannot get it off the phone. Help!

The banner usually indicates that the memo is "Paused." If you go back into voice memos, touch the word "Done" beside the big red pause button, give it a name, then it will show in a list. Touch the memo in the list then touch the trash can icon that should appear.

ust for a reference cause i'm new in JSP This has nothing to do with JSP, but with basic knowledge of an essential API. I have given you the link to the File API. Are you saying that you refused to read the API documentation, which clearly explains you how to use the File and shows which methods are all available to you undereach the straightforward getName() method, and expecting that the others may chew the answers for you?

How to get rid of Safari !!!!!

I must have missed the message to install Safari during one of the many iTunes updates and now I'm stuck with it on my computer taking up 60GB of space! I've tried removing it through Control Panel -> Uninstall Programs, but get the message that I don't have administrator privilages - which I do. Thinking I may have had this installed while I was logged in under my main administrator name, I logged off and logged back in under my only other user name and tried again - same message. So I went to the Safari folder and changed all security privilages to full access for both accounts and it still won't uninstall. How can this program claim I don't have administrator privilages when I used the only two user accounts on my computer?? So in a fit of defiance and desperation, I deleted the Safari folder and then ran the name "safari" in Vista's search box under the Start menu (I even included the wildcard .* to catch all examples). Guess what? Rather than find all traces of safari on my computer so I could delete them manually, Safari started running again!! I cancelled the program before it finished loading and went to recheck the Program Files folder and Safari was back there with a full 60GB of files again! I CAN'T GET RID OF IT!!
Safari is a malicious software program as bad as any Malware or Adware I have ever seen! How can I get rid of it??
(and no, I really do not want Safari - I don't care if you think its the greatest thing since sliced bread - I make the choices on my computer, not some software engineer or marketing division and I DON'T WANT SAFARI!!)
Any suggestions on how to get rid of it? Did I miss something?
Thanks all,
LH

The Safari update is not clear what it is and provided no explanation of what it was - it simply states "Safari". For all I know it could have been an indexing file for iTunes. There was no explanation as to what is was and the install checkbox was already checked so the unsuspecting may quickly and accidentaly hit install along with the iTunes update, thinking it was a required part of iTunes. Regardless of how it got there, I'm trying to get rid of it and it won't uninstall.
Now you may fancy yourself as some kind of wunderkind software expert, but you apparently do not know Vista because it really does take up 60 GB and every time I delete it, it tries to reinstall itself. These are not multiple installations and I am the only user on this computer. You haven't offered me any help - only insults. If you aren't willing or able to offer help or assistance in the most sincerest form this request was intended, than stay out of this thread. Your actions and insults reinforce the prevailing belief that Apple users are unkind, rude, self-important snobs.
