I can't resize new rectangles with the new Illustrator 2014
I know from reading other boards that there are related issues with snapping to grid but I'm having an issue only with resizing rectangles when I create them new. We have others in our company using Creative Cloud that have updated and they are not having the same issue I am having.
Basically when I create any new rectangle, or rounded corner rectangle it is a fixed size and I am not given the handles to resize it. I have to select the object then go to Object > Shape > Expand Rectangle in order to get the corners to grab and reshape or resize. I have checked and unchecked all of the settings that I can see or read about and nothing changes this. It's a real pain to have to go through this with every object I create.
I have also tried rebooting the software and my computer several times but it's still the same.
Am I just missing some small setting somewhere?

Can't reshape rectangle with the "Selection Tool"
Hi,
After updating Illustrator CC 2014 to the newest versions I can't reshape rectangles with the "Selection Tool".
Is this a new feature where you have to go to: "Shape > Expand rectangle" to be able to reshape it?
-Cristogoertz,
I am afraid you have come across the Live Rectangle bug which is limited to the MAC versions starting with 10.7 and 10.8, but not 10.9 (Mavericks).
So a switch to Mavericks with a reinstallation might be the way to solve it here and now.
To get round it in each case, it is possible to Expand the Live Rectangles to get normal old fashioned rectangles, or to Pathfinder>Unite, or to use the Scale Tool.
A more permanent way round that is to create normal old fashioned rectangles, after running the free script created by Pawel, see this thread with download link:

When I connect my iPod Touch to a new laptop (Macbook Air) the "Info" tab won't appear and therefore I cannot sync it with my new iTunes. How can I sync this iPod with the iTunes on my new laptop?
There is no Info tab in Mavericks
if you use OS X v.10.8.5 or earlier. If you use OS X Mavericks v.10.9 or later, your contacts, calendars, and other info are updated on your computers and iOS devices via iCloud. For more information, see iCloud Help at icloud.com.

iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

My laptop died so I've installed itunes onto another PC and my music is all on an external hardive which is connected to the new PC. How can I sync my ipod with the new itunes and get all the music onto itunes?
You might consider itunes match for moving CDs you've copied into your itunes library if you dont have a way to use home sharing.
iTunes match is an optional service offered by apple that costs about $25 a year. It scans your music library and if it finds music that is already in apple's itunes catalog it'll automatically "unlock"/"store" these in the cloud for you. Items that it does not find in the catalog it'll upload and store these in the cloud for you and you can download them on your devices. See http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/ -

I just bought a new iphone5s, the headphones are not working correctly. I can hear the music but I can't pause or play with the button. Will apple replace them?
Hi there,
It sounds like your purchased content is not transfering via a flash drive. It may be easier to re-download this contnet directly from iTunes. Take a look at the article below for mor information.

When I create a rectangle, I can not to change the shape of a rectangle with the cursor in illustrator CC 2014 For what?
Xavigarcia,
I am afraid you have come across the Live Rectangle bug which is limited to the MAC versions starting with 10.7 and 10.8, but not 10.9 (Mavericks) or 10.10 (Yosemite). Hopefully, the bug will be fixed soon.
So a switch to Mavericks or Yosemite with a reinstallation might be the way to solve it here and now.
To get round it in each case, it is possible to Expand the Live Rectangles to get normal old fashioned rectangles, or to Pathfinder>Unite, or to use the Scale Tool or the Free Transform Tool.

How is iTunes telling you it is unlocked? Did you go through an unlock procedure with your cell company and then Restore it in iTunes?

How can I port my PSE with the data to a new PC? [was:Jeanné]
Wie kann ich mein PSE mit den Daten auf den neuen PC portieren?

Translations by Microsoft® Translator
The only way you can do this by installing the PSE on your new machine using the DVD and the serial number you must have bought. Once this is done, you might want to copy all your photos from the old machine on to a flash drive and then copy them from flash drive to your Pictures folder and let PSE finds them and catalogs them automatically.
This method is ideal if your haven't created very sophisticated catalog in your old machine because you may also want to transfer the old catalog on to your new PC so that you don't have to re-create the catalog from scratch. If you want to transfer the catalog as well then on your old PC launch PSE Organizer and go to:
File >> Backup Catalog
This is also saved on the removable flash drive
Now go to the new PC and launch Organizer and do almost the same thing except:
File >> Restore Catalog
Now this should almost get you started.
Good luck. -
Hi,
I lost my computer.
How can I sincronize me Iphone with the new computer without loose my contacts and apps?
Thanks
ThaschorIt has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
Use your backup copy to move everything to the new computer.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from the iphone: File>Transfer Purchases
If you enter one unique contact and calendar entry on your computer, then when you first sync you should get the option to merge the data. -
i changed my apple id and password but how can i update my iphone with the new apple id and password?i changed my apple id and password but how can i update my iphone with the new apple id and password?
You have to delete the old account, provide the password for the ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
To avoid losing photo stream photos that are not in your camera roll, save them to your camera roll before deleting the account (open your my photo stream album, tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward facing arrow, then tap Save to Camera Roll). -
How can I have two fields with the same name if it makes sense?
Hello, folks :)
I have a pretty hard time figuring out how I can have two text fields with the same binding name.
The whole problem is that when I need two fields with the same binding name they are still differnent coz they have the same name but differnt indices.
I should make a form filled at runtime by merging a pdf form file and an fdf file data file. And I have no choice to do it differently. And my form file needs some data like customerName, companyName twice in one form. But there's only one possible buinding name indexed zero.
How can I create a field with absolutely the same name or is it just impossible due to possible name conflicts? And is there a workaround to this problem? I just need one piece of data repeated in different places.
Thanks for your replies :)
P.S. if u think that the problem is not clear enough let me know. I'll supply you with more details. But the general process can not be changed.
One pdf should be mergred with an fdf with as the result of their merge a new filled and flattened form. I have no control over fdfs their are generated by Oracle and I can not fill the form using XML files coz this process should be integrated in a working application.I just thought about a really ugly workaround with a server-side script adding values to fdf files but it's a bit of work and tests and personally i think it's a bad idea :-(
