I am in need of help with shapes (New to Illustrator)

I know there are probably a bunch of discussions with this topic, but it's hard for me to find them because I don't know the correct terms to use, so I get the wrong results.
I have two shapes, one is on top of the other and I'm trying to make a sort of dazed eye, so I have part of the iris sort of outside of the eye outline. I'm trying to delete that part that is not within the outline of the eye. Any help is appreciated. I can provide screenshots upon request.
Thanks!

No That is not what I wanted. I want the eye outline shape, and the part of the iris shape that is within it to become one shape. so it looks like a blue eye with the eyelid down a bit.
here is a screenshot to help see what i'm getting at..
and I will do it one more time with a black cirle for the pupil.

  • Need some Help with the new Genius Mixes on iTunes 9

    I would like to know how to use the New Genius Mixes on iTunes 9. I don't quit know how to use it yet and like all of us we're all just learning how to use the Genius Mixes. I did watch the KeyNote but they didn't go into great detail on how to use it. Does Apple have a web site that has more detail instruction on how to use the genius Mixes? I did find some info. on how to use the Genius mixes but it didn't go into great detail on how or what to do with the genius Mixex and thats what I need.
    when I click on the genius Mixes icon under the "Genius", what shows up is a Big square with four album images of my music that I have in my music collection, I go and roll my mouse over the Big square with my four music albums and click on it to play the music and it'll play what ever I have in the Genius Mix list plus as I roll my mouse over the Big Square, under it it says "Jazz Mix" with some text writings under the Jazz mix.
    I want to change the Jazz mix Title and I want to know how to add more music square boxes to my Genius Mixes just like they show in the Keynote and I would like to edit and create my own four square music boxes in my Genius Mixes.
    I never used my music genius list, I always created just a play List, now I am just learning how to use this music Genius lists and I don't know how to use it at all and I need someone that knows how to use thr Genius Mixes list to help me how to use it since there isn't a how to book yet for the new iTunes 9.
    Can someone Please help me with the new genius Mixes on iTunes.
    Thank you,

    Today, I was getting an array out of bounds exception on a split
    I don't see how that could happen with the 'split' method since it creates its own array.
    For this particular string, ordSplit.length = 24 and commas = 26.
    PERFECT! That is exactly what it should be!
    Look closely at the end of the sample string you posted and you will see that it has trailing empty strings at the end: '1096200000000242505,,,'
    Then if you read the Javadocs for the 'split' method you will find that those will NOT be included in the resulting array:
    http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#split(java.lang.String)
    split
    public String[] split(String regex)
    Splits this string around matches of the given regular expression.  This method works as if by invoking the two-argument split method with the given expression and a limit argument of zero. Trailing empty strings are therefore not included in the resulting array.
    Just a hunch but your 'out of bounds exception' is likely due to your code assuming that there will be 26 entries in the array and there are really only 24.

  • Need urgent help with a new Z program please

    I have to write a program that finds files matching some pattern, for example I have files test1,test2,test3 in a directory then if I pass test* as parameter it should find all the files i.e, test1,2,3. I have to then store the files in internal table, loop through it and have to call some other program zzz that has a selection screen with default parameters.
    1) Is there any function that I can call that gives all the files by passing wild card (ex:test*) and store the files in internal table?
    2) How do I call some other program ZZZ from my program?
    3) How do I pass values from my program to other program's selection screen?
    Your help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    1) data: FILE_TABLE TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF FILE_INFO.
    data: wa_file type file_info.
    data: count type i.
    CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>DIRECTORY_LIST_FILES
                EXPORTING
                    DIRECTORY = 'C:\'
                    FILTER    = 'test.*'
                    files_only = 'X'
                changing
                    FILE_TABLE = file_table[]
                    count      = count.
    loop at file_table into wa_file.
      write: / wa_file-filename.
    endloop.
    2) You can use SUBMIT statement to call another program..
    3) In the SUBMIT statement you can use the WITH addition to pass the values to the program.
    Thanks,

  • Need some help with this new setup I have

    This is what I got for my new setup
    A64 3000 939
    K8N Neo4 Platinum MSI
    1 gig of Mushkin duel chan. ddr 400
    Gigabyte GeForce 6600 GT PCI-E
    The ram I have is duel chan. I have no idea what this means  Or what the ram needs to be set to is it faster than non duel ddr? 

    Quote from: igmox
    it is like water flowing through two parallel pipes instead of one.
    Quote from: mrbell84
    Another example you could think of duel channel memory could be like a 2 lane motorway.  You close one lane and cars can only go down 1 lane, but when you open another lane up thats another path for the cars to travel
    Quote from: omnikron
    One more thing is my psu going to be ok with that setup
    Quote from: mrbell84
    Yes your Power supply has 24 pin atx connector and also its a ATx2.0, which means its SLI/PCI-E Complient

  • Need basic help with my new iMac

    Can someone please assist me with these questions?
    When I click on F3 (wireless keyboard), I can see all my windows that are open (I think this feature is called expose?), but it just shows the windows for about a second and then I see my desktop. I'm not able to select the window I want to activate. It used to show me all the windows open and then I could just click on the one I want to activate. I don't know what I did to change this.
    Also, I added some stuff (widgets?) on my dashboard and I don't know how to remove them. How do I do this?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    It sounds like you have Expose set to "Desktop" rather than "All windows" or "Application windows". Check your settings in System Preferences.... 
    cheers

  • I need some help with my new podcast. Please!

    I've just set up a new podcast and it's online on itunes. The xml file is hosted on my website. Can i edit the text within this file...i.e. if there is a spelling mistake...ping this...and itunes will update it? Cos i tried doing that but no changes were made...any ideas?
    Also, to generate my xml file, i used this website
    http://www.podcastblaster.com/podcast-feed/index.php
    However i noticed that feedburner allows you to collate statistics on subscribers and podcast downloads....how can i switch to feedburner? i find this all so confusing. does anyone know what im talking about?

    From looking at their site, Podblaster creates the feed file from the data you give it: so it's no good you editing the feed file yourself as Podblaster will over-write it the next time you add an episode. Any changes you make to data or episode in Podblaster will cause an amended version of the feed file to be uploaded and this will eventually be reflected in the itunes Store; it usually takes 1-2 days, occasionally longer, for new episodes to appear in the Store, and it's possible that minor amendments to the texts won't show until you upload a new episode.
    To take advantage of Feedburner's statistics facilities you need to submit the feed to Feedburner, and then submit the feed it generates to the iTunes Store. This will involve you either using the procedure detailed here (which involves adding a special tag to the feed - something you may well not be able to do) or submitting this feed as a new podcast to the Store (which will necessitate making a small change to the name).
    If you have any further queries please post both the URL of your feed and of the iTunes Store page (please include the http:// in both cases), without which it's possible only to give very general answers.

  • I'm suddenly in need of help with my Firefox browser (6.0.2)

    Hi there,
    I'm suddenly in need of help with my Firefox browser (6.0.2)
    (OS: I use Windows XP).
    When I open up the browser, all I see is a completely blank white screen, with all the toolbars at the top.
    I know that my physical connections are fine: I've tested the modem, turned the pc off and on etc. and I can also receive/send emails.
    This problem started today, 8th September, 2011 and has never happened before.
    Is it a coincidence that Firefox updated itself just before I logged off yesterday evening? Could it be something to do with this particular new update?
    I've also noted that just before I "open up" Firefox, I now get a small box saying:
    [JAVASCRIPT APPLICATION]
    Exc In Ev handl: TypeError: This oRoot.enable is not a function
    This has never appeared before - I hope it offers a clue a to what is wrong.
    The Browser is not stuck in Safe Mode, by the way.
    Obviously, I can't search for any solutions to the problem on the internet, as I can't physically see any websites!
    (A friend is sending this query on my behalf from their pc)
    Any light you could throw on this confusing problem would be much appreciated. I'd rather not have to uninstall and reinstall Firefox if possible.
    If the only option is to uninstall Firefox and reinstall it from your site, then I'm also in trouble (I can't see the internet or make any downloads).
    In that case, would you be able to send the .exe file as an attachment to my email address? If so, please let me know and I'll give you further details.
    Many thanks in advance.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
    See:
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Server+not+found
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firewalls
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    I need your help with a decision to use iPhoto.  I have been a PC user since the mid 1980’s and more recently have used ACDSee to manage my photo images and Photoshop to edit them.  I have used ProShow Gold to create slideshows.  I am comfortable with my own folder and file naming conventions. I currently have over 23,000 images of which around 60% are scans going back 75 years.  Since I keep a copy of the originals, the storage requirements for over 46,000 images is huge.  180GB plus.
    I now have a Macbook Pro and will add an iMac when the new models arrive.  For my photos, I want to stay with Photoshop which also gives me the Bridge.  The only obvious reason to use iPhoto is to take advantage of Faces and the link to iMovie to make slideshows.  What am I missing and is using iPhoto worth the effort?
    If I choose to use iPhoto, I am not certain whether I need to load the originals and the edited versions. I suspect that just the latter is sufficient.  If I set PhotoShop as my external editor, I presume that iPhoto will keep track of all changes moving forward.  However, over 23,000 images in iPhoto makes me twitchy and they are appear hidden within iPhoto.  In the past, I have experienced syncing problems with, and database errors in, large databases.  If I break up the images into a number of projects, I loose the value of Faces reaching back over time.
    Some guidance and insight would be appreciated.  I have a number of Faces questions which I will save for later. 

    Bridge and Photoshop is a common file-based management system. (Not sure why you'd have used ACDSEE as well as Bridge.) In any event, it's on the way out. You won't be using it in 5 years time.
    Up to this the lack of processing power on your computer left no choice but to organise this way. But file based organisation is as sensible as organising a Shoe Warehouse based on the colour of the boxes. It's also ultimately data-destructive.
    Modern systems are Database driven. Files are managed, Images imported, virtual versions, lossless processing and unlimited editing are the way forward.
    For a Photographer Photoshop is overkill. It's an enormously powerful app, a staple of the Graphic Designers' trade. A Photographer uses maybe 15% to 20% of its capability.
    Apps like iPhoto, Lightroom, Aperture are the way forward - for photographers. There's the 20% of Photoshop that shooters actually use, coupled with management and lossless processing. Pop over to the Aperture or Lightroom forums (on the Adobe site) and one comment shows up over and over again... "Since I started using Aperture/ Lightroom I hardly ever use Photoshop any more..." and if there is a job that these apps can do, then the (much) cheaper Elements will do it.
    The change is not easy though, especially if you have a long-standing and well thought out filing system of your own. The first thing I would strongly advise is that you experiment before making any decisions. So I would create a Library, import 300 or 400 shots and play. You might as well do this in iPhoto to begin with - though if you’re a serious hobbyist or a Pro then you'll find yourself looking further afield pretty soon. iPhoto is good for the family snapper, taking shots at birthdays and sharing them with friends and family.
    Next: If you're going to successfully use these apps you need to make a leap: Your files are not your Photos.
    The illustration I use is as follows: In my iTunes Library I have a file called 'Let_it_Be_The_Beatles.mp3'. So what is that, exactly? It's not the song. The Beatles never wrote an mp3. They wrote a tune and lyrics. They recorded it and a copy of that recording is stored in the mp3 file. So the file is just a container for the recording. That container is designed in a specific way attuned to the characteristics and requirements of the data. Hence, mp3.
    Similarly, that Jpeg is not your photo, it's a container designed to hold that kind of data. iPhoto is all about the data and not about the container. So, regardless of where you choose to store the file, iPhoto will manage the photo, edit the photo, add metadata to the Photo but never touch the file. If you choose to export - unless you specifically choose to export the original - iPhoto will export the Photo into a new container - a new file containing the photo.
    When you process an image in iPhoto the file is never touched, instead your decisions are recorded in the database. When you view the image then the Master is presented with these decisions applied to it. That's why it's lossless. You can also have multiple versions and waste no disk space because they are all just listings in the database.
    These apps replace the Finder (File Browser) for managing your Photos. They become the Go-To app for anything to do with your photos. They replace Bridge too as they become a front-end for Photoshop.
    So, want to use a photo for something - Export it. Choose the format, size and quality you want and there it is. If you're emailing, uploading to websites then these apps have a "good enough for most things" version called the Preview - this will be missing some metadata.
    So it's a big change from a file-based to Photo-based management, from editing files to processing Photos and it's worth thinking it through before you decide.

  • I've just came on board from Andriod and need massive help with the Contacts application any one out there willing to help the 'noob'?

    I had the folks at the store port over all of my contacts from my old
    ratty Andriod phone to my new shiny iPhone.
    however all 200+ of my contacts sort of "shook" out,
    meaning say John Smith, on my old phone,
    had in my contacts the following:
    John Smith
    123 Main St. Anytown, Anystate USA
    555-826-4879 home
    555-799-4247 cell
    [email protected]
    johnsmith@facebook
    all nice and neat on my andriod but when it ported over
    all that information was just scattered all over my contacts sort of like:
    john smith, smith john
    john smith 123 main st. etc.
    johhn smith home 555 etc.
    john smith cell 555 etc.
    john smith johnsmith@ etc.
    etc.
    so for all those 200+ contacts in my phone, I've got a zillion of them now...
    so I'd like to get this all back in order before I and Siri explode.
    I know nothing, and I know even less about outlook and the sort.
    But I do know I am in Dire need of help with this... I figured that eveything else
    involving iphones and apple in general was supposed to be cake but it seems
    like this is the only thing that isn't cake at all... unless, I'm just a right idiot. (which is possible, hence spelling and grammatical issues).

    I believe I've tried to sync it with google, but it didn't seem to take
    muchless take my calender. it seems to favor my facebook calender
    more over my google calender, but Siri seems to be helping me re-write
    it...but that's not the game here, it's the contacts. I've tried to export
    the cvp (??) list and import it into my iTunes account. However, It only
    doubled my issue because it didn't over write my existing contacts.

  • Please I need some help with a table

    Hi All
    I need some help with a table.
    My table needs to hold prices that the user can update.
    Also has a total of the column.
    my question is if the user adds in a new price how can i pick up the value they have just entered and then add it to the total which will be the last row in the table?
    I have a loop that gets all the values of the column, so I can get the total but it is when the user adds in a new value that I need some help with.
    I have tried using but as I need to set the toal with something like total
        totalTable.setValueAt(total, totalTable.getRowCount()-1,1); I end up with an infinite loop.
    Can any one please advise on some way I can get this to work ?

  • Need some help with a Macally enclosure and a spare internal drive

    Need some help with a Macally enclousure

    Aloha:
    I have a Macally PHR-S100SUA enclousure that does not recognise,my WD 1001fals hard drive. It has worked just fine with other internal drives, but not this one?
    This is a spare internal drive that I am trying to make an external drive to store back ups for a lot of data. But so far I can not get it recognized by the computer. Maybe I need different drivers?
    Any suggestions?
    Dan Page

    Hi-
    Drivers aren't typically needed for external enclosures.
    Macally has none listed for that enclosure.
    The same is true for the WD drive, internal or external; no drivers.
    With the exception of high end PM multi drive enclosures, I can't think of any that use drivers.
    How is the external connected?
    Have you tried different cables, different ports?
    Bad/damaged cables are fairly common.
    Have you verified connections inside of the enclosure?

  • Need some help with putting a folder in users directory

    I'm not sure how to do this, but what I want to do is put this file in C:/My Documents, but I need to be able to verify that C://My Documents exists, if not put it in C:/Program Files.
    Can any one help me out?

    Need some help with putting a folder in users directoryI recomend using System.getProperty( "user.home" ) not a hard-coded value.
    This will use the users home folder ( C:\My Documents ) on Win9X (I guess), C:\Documents and Settings\<current user> on Win2K +, and ~ on Unix-a-likes.

  • Need some help with downloading PDF's from the net.

    need some help with downloading PDF's from the net.  Each time I try to click on a link from a website, if it takes me to a new screen to view a pdf, it just comes up as a blank black screen?  any suggestions?

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Need some help with the Select query.

    Need some help with the Select query.
    I had created a Z table with the following fields :
    ZADS :
    MANDT
    VKORG
    ABGRU.
    I had written a select query as below :
    select single vkorg abgru from ZADS into it_rej.
    IT_REJ is a Work area:
    DATA : BEGIN OF IT_REJ,
            VKORG TYPE VBAK-VKORG,
            ABGRU TYPE VBAP-ABGRU,
           END OF IT_REJ.
    This is causing performance issue. They are asking me to include the where condition for this select query.
    What should be my select query here?
    Please suggest....
    Any suggestion will be apprecaiated!
    Regards,

    Hello Everybody!
    Thank you for all your response!
    I had changes this work area into Internal table and changed the select query. PLease let me know if this causes any performance issues?
    I had created a Z table with the following fields :
    ZADS :
    MANDT
    VKORG
    ABGRU.
    I had written a select query as below :
    I had removed the select single and insted of using the Structure it_rej, I had changed it into Internal table 
    select vkorg abgru from ZADS into it_rej.
    Earlier :
    IT_REJ is a Work area:
    DATA : BEGIN OF IT_REJ,
    VKORG TYPE VBAK-VKORG,
    ABGRU TYPE VBAP-ABGRU,
    END OF IT_REJ.
    Now :
    DATA : BEGIN OF IT_REJ occurs 0,
    VKORG TYPE VBAK-VKORG,
    ABGRU TYPE VBAP-ABGRU,
    END OF IT_REJ.
    I guess this will fix the issue correct?
    PLease suggest!

  • Need some help with threads...

    Hello all,
    I am working on a project at work, and I am not the best programmer in the world. I have been trying to get my head around this for a couple of days and just cannot get it to work.
    I am writing an instrumentation control program that will have three threads. One is the GUI, one will receive control information and set up the hardware, and one will check the hardware status and report it to the GUI periodically. I plan on using the invokeLater() method to communicate the status to the GUI and change the status display in the GUI. Communication from the GUI to the controller thread and from the status thread to the controller thread I had planned on being piped input/output stream as appropriate. I have a control class and a status class that need to be communicated over these piped streams. In some trial code I have been unable to wrap the piped input/output streams with object input/output streams. I really need some help with this. Here is the main thread code:
    package playingwiththreads1;
    import java.io.*;*
    *public class PlayingWithThreads1 {*
    public static void main(String[] args) {*
    * PipedOutputStream outputPipe = new PipedOutputStream();*
    * ObjectOutputStream oos = null;*
    * ReceiverThread rt = new ReceiverThread(outputPipe);*
    // Start the thread -- First try*
    * Thread t = new Thread(rt);*
    t.start();*
    // Wrap the output pipe with an ObjectOutputStream*
    try*
    oos = new ObjectOutputStream(outputPipe);*
    catch (IOException e)*
    System.out.println(e);*
    // Start the thread -- Second try*
    //Thread t = new Thread(rt);*
    //t.start();*
    /** Send an object over the pipe. In reality this object will be a
    class that contains control or status information */
    try
    if (!oos.equals(null))
    oos.writeObject(new String ("Test"));
    catch (IOException e)
    try
    Thread.sleep(5000);
    catch (InterruptedException e)
    I read somewhere that it matters where you start the thread relative to where you wrap piped streams with the object streams. So, I tried the two places I felt were obvious to start the thread. These are noted in the comments. Here is the code for the thread.
    package playingwiththreads1;
    import java.io.*;
    public class ReceiverThread implements Runnable {
    private PipedInputStream inputPipe = new PipedInputStream();
    private ObjectInputStream inputObject;
    ReceiverThread (PipedOutputStream outputPipe)
    System.out.println("Thread initialization - start");
    try
    inputPipe.connect(outputPipe);
    inputObject = new ObjectInputStream(inputPipe);
    catch (IOException e)
    System.out.println(e);
    System.out.println("Thread initialization - complete");
    public void run()
    System.out.println("Thread started");
    try
    if (inputObject.available() > 0)
    System.out.println(inputObject.read());
    catch (IOException e)
    System.out.println(e);
    Through testing I have determined that no matter where I start the thread, the thread never gets past the "inputObject = new ObjectInputStream(inputPipe);" assignment.
    Could someone please help me with this? There are other ways for me to write this program, but this is the one that I would like to make work.
    Many thanks in advance,
    Rob Hix

    Thanks for the help, but that did not work. I tried flushing the ObjectOutputStream and it is still hanging when initializing the thread.
    Here is a better look at the code since I was helped to figure out how to insert it:
    The main method:
    package playingwiththreads1;
    import java.io.*;
    public class PlayingWithThreads1 {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            PipedOutputStream outputPipe = new PipedOutputStream();
            ObjectOutputStream oos = null;
            ReceiverThread rt = new ReceiverThread(outputPipe);
            // Start the thread -- First try
            //Thread t = new Thread(rt);
            //t.start();
            // Wrap the output pipe with an ObjectOutputStream
            try
                oos = new ObjectOutputStream(outputPipe);
                oos.flush();
            catch (IOException e)
                System.out.println(e);
            // Start the thread -- Second try
            Thread t = new Thread(rt);
            t.start();
            /* Send an object over the pipe.  In reality this object will be a
             * class that contains control or status information */
            try
                if (!oos.equals(null))
                    oos.writeObject(new String ("Test"));
                    oos.flush();
            catch (IOException e)
                System.out.pringln(e);
            try
                Thread.sleep(5000);
            catch (InterruptedException e)
    }The thread code:
    package playingwiththreads1;
    import java.io.*;
    public class ReceiverThread implements Runnable {
        private PipedInputStream inputPipe = new PipedInputStream();
        private ObjectInputStream inputObject;
        ReceiverThread (PipedOutputStream outputPipe)
            System.out.println("Thread initialization - start");
            try
                inputPipe.connect(outputPipe);
                inputObject = new ObjectInputStream(inputPipe);
            catch (IOException e)
                System.out.println(e);
            System.out.println("Thread initialization - complete");
        public void run()
            System.out.println("Thread started");
            try
                if (inputObject.available() > 0)
                    System.out.println(inputObject.read());
            catch (IOException e)
                System.out.println(e);
    }Does anyone else have and ideas?
