I can't do anything with the text boxes in my InDesign file.

I consider myself pretty good with InDesign. But, right now, I'm totally flummoxed. I've just spent two hours designing a newsletter front and inside front page. I've filled the two text boxes with text that I stole from a Word file. But, now, I can't do anything in those text boxes. I click and nothing happens. Nothing highlights. The frame isn't locked. I don't know what to do. I'm kind of freaked out that InDesign can do this to me.

Check for locked Layers
Object (menu) > Unlock All on Spread
Verify Live Page vs Master Page (You might have worked on the Master (?)

Are you using any MS Office third party Add-ins? Test: Remove third party Add-ins other than PDFMaker. Test to see if the MS Office apps run afterward.
Did you attempt to repair MS Office? Test: Go to Add/Remove Control Panel run Repair.
Finally, have you tried testing to see if it's PDFMaker? Test: Use the Add/Remove Control Panel to modify the Acrobat installation to remove PDFMaker. See if MS Office applications launch and behave correctly?

Lost all the orginal photos on an external hard drive. Can I do anything with the images in the library?

I recently had an external; drive die which had the only copy of the orginal files for a referenced library in iPhoto. I can still see the images in iPhoto but can't do anything with them becuase the program says it can't find the orginal. Clearly there are images stored somewhere in the system does anyone know of a way to extract them to recover the lost images?

It gives you a new library from yorr previews - do it by depressing the option key and launching iphoto - create a new library - open it and drag each folder form the priviews folder of you old library to the iPhoto window
And I strongly suggest that you make this a default managed library - and that you start backing up before you lose these too

How do I stop Firefox from Zooming to Fill the entire Width of the screen with the Text Box?

In Portrait mode the zoom facture / percentage performed may not be as significant or frustrating. However in landscape mode zooming the text box to fill the width of the screen is ridiculous. It makes the box huge & sometimes impossible to see / read what is needed in subsequent form text boxes.
In Landscape mode this sets in motion a necessity to zoom out following the competion of typing in every single text box. (Just try to fill out a form & see if you don't feel like cursing. In Landscape mode especially, I zoom to see what I want to see. I don't want firefox to undo my zooming action!
Is it possible to dissable this auto zooming in the settings? Or is it possible to suggest this change be added to future updates?

See if disabling this improves the experience:
# In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
# Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''', to continue to the about:config page.
# Look for find.helperautozoom I think it is called

How can I open FireFox with the 'Find' box/bar always open?

When FireFox opens, click 'Edit' and 'Find'. This opens the box/bar at the bottom of the screen. I use it so often, I would like FireFox to open with the 'Find' box/bar already open.

You are welcome. Happy New Year, Aivas.

Trouble with multiline text box reading from xml file

Hi,
I have a text area, set to multiline. For some reason, when my text imported from xml shows up in the box, it starts several lines down into the box. So for example, my Text box is positioned with the top at the midpoint of my stage, but the text starts about 3/4 down the page, about half way down the text box. Can someone please tell me why this is happening and what I can do to fix it?
I noticed that when I put my cursor in the box and move it up and down, the rest of the text 'scrolls' into the frame, but otherwise it's cut off. please help!
Thanks,
Stan

My iphone is stuck in recovery mode while doing an automatic upgrade last night. I can't do anything with the phone and now it won't even restore! Help!

Last night my iphone did an automatic upgrade and when I got up this morning all that was there was the picture of the usb cord and itunes. When I plugged my phone into my computer and open itunes I got this message: iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes.
I spent literally all day trying to figure out what to do and finally sucked it up and pushed the restore button in itunes. I'm not getting this message: The iPhone could not be restored. The device isn't eligible for the requested build.
What the heck do I need to do in order to have a functioning phone again?!

Oracle text installed but can't find anything through the text indexes

Hello,
i've got a Oracle 10G (10.2.0.4) database 64bit on a Windows 2003r2 64bit (sp2). I also installed the Oracle Text:
Oracle Text
VALID 10.2.0.4.0
then I created some preferences and created the text indexes:
create index afindex on docs(document) indextype is ctxsys.context parameters('storage gdoc_store SYNC (ON COMMIT)');
so with the syn on commit, it should immediately be seen in the index.
I have for example in 1 table 6 documents (word,pdf ...), the other has more then 64000 documents and the 3rd one more than 425000.
In none of the 3 above, searching on text gives result after index is created. Not in the developer his program nor in sqlplus.
searching sql for example:
select id from docs where contains(doc,'hello')>0;
under the c:\windows\temp, I see about 380files with drgibXXXXX, so it does index them?
What could be the problem?
note that I've got lots of other database where I also use Oracle text and there is no problem, only difference is the 32 <-> 64bit.
error in ctx_index_error is :
DRG-11207: user filter command exited with status 1

According to the [http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/text.102/b14218/afilsupt.htm#sthref2446|10.2 docs], Auto Filter is supported on the following platforms:
Microsoft Windows
o Server 2003 (x86 and IA-64)
o XP (Service Packs 1 and 2)
o 2000 x86 (Service Pack 2)
o NT 4.0 x86 (Intel) (Service Pack 6a)
Sun Solaris 8.0 and 9.0
HP-UX 11.0 and 11i, PA-RISC
HP-UX 11i v11.23, IA-64
IBM AIX 5.1 and 5.2L
Red Hat Linux 7.3 and 8.0
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 2.1 and 3.0 (x86)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 3.0 (IA-64)
SuSE Linux Standard Server 8 (x86)
Note x84 and IA-64 (Itanium 64) but not x86-64. So I suspect that you don't get the filters at all.
If this is the case, your options are either to install a 32 bit version of Oracle for Windows (which I believe should work fine on 64 bit Windows) or to attempt to cobble the 32 bit ctxhx into your 64 bit environment. I'm sure this should be possible, but it would be unsupported and I don't have any kind of "how to" on doing it.

Can I get rid of the white box behind my swf file?

I would like for the space behind my swf animation to not appear as a white box while the browser is loading the swf but rather show what is on the page behind the loading file.
I believe someone had once told me what to do to prevent this but I cannot find this info now.

Thank you. I knew it was something simple. I think I used to
have to enter it as a paramenter but now in CS5 there is
a w mode setting. I appreciate your help..

How can I make the »Text Box« blend with the background?

I have a problem that my document is almost finished, but still I cannot solve one basic problem. My “Text box” fields are still selectable (I get the blue select/resize buttons around the text) when I click on them when reviewing my document in the reader. In this “Text box” fields there is text that is not meant to be changed by the end user. It should just be shown (blend with the background) and not selectable. This resize buttons around the text box don’t work and don’t allow the end user to change the size but their presence alone drives me crazy.
Should I use the “Stamp” tool in this case or is there a setting (with the text box tool) that I’m missing?

It seems that I found the solution. Is the only way to avoid the before mentioned edit box that I use the TouchUp Text tool to add text?

In latest Nightly, arrow keys don't move the cursor but instead exit the text box. How can I fix this so that the arrow keys move the cursor?

Using Nightly 28.0a1, I'm having a problem with the text box fields when typing. I use Hacker's Keyboard which has onscreen arrow keys and I find it more convenient than fiddling with a tiny cursor thumb when editing text. On the Play Store Firefox it works just fine but on Nightly, any time I try to move the cursor with the arrow keys it jumps out of the text box and highlights other elements on the page. This is annoying beyond belief as it means having to resort to that imprecise thumb cursor that takes forever to get where you want it. Is this a known issue with the latest nightly builds?

Thanks for the report. I have filed bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=939959. It would be helpful to know and if you can comment into the bug to indicate which input field you are testing on.

HT5622 my icloud id does not match my apple id and i can't do anything with my phobne

Hey quaisser,
Some of the following steps don't fully apply to your situation, but I'd run through the ones I haven't crossed off to see if that resolves the issue:
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.

Difficulty editing text in iPhoto book project. I add a page layout with text, but can't edit the text box., Difficulty editing text in iPhoto book project. I add a page layout with text, but can't edit the text box.

I'm am having difficulty editing text in the iphoto book project. I have a text box that is pre-populated with text. I can edit the text once, then if I need to change something, it won't let me delete anything, only add to it. Anyone else having this problem?
Thanks!

You should be able to double click in the text box and add or delete text. First make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If that doesn't help launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos, create a book and check to see if the same problem persists. Post back with the results.

When I open my email in the text box it doesn't show anything until i hit the forward button. Can anyone help?

When I open my email in the text box it doesn't show anything until i hit the forward button. Can anyone help?

See if any of the following help.
Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
Also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

I can't do anything with the text boxes in my InDesign file.
