I can't select lines in a pdf ? illustrator has already selected a series of blue rectangles that prevent me from select?

Hi there, I'm new to illustrator I have been using it to change line weights in pdf's. however the last time i imported a pdf it opens with a series of blue selection boxes which prevent me from selecting individual lines. any ideas? any advice would be much appreciated. Rowan

^^Larry could be on to something there...
Or...
It's likely you're trying to deconstruct a PDF that wasn't saved by/for Illustrator, so its contents are nested within clipping masks.
With one or more of those blue boxes selected, choose Object > Clipping Mask > Release

My daughter has been using my iTunes account to buy music and apps. I now want to set up a separate iTunes account for her, with a different login. How can we transfer the music and apps she has already bought to her new iTunes account?

Hello, thank you for your prompt answer. I did have an idea that Home sharing might be the answer but could not quite figure out how to do it. I have enabled home sharing in my iTunes account, put in username and password, clicked on creat etc. But the homs sharing icon doew not appear in the left side of iTunes. So I got stuck. Any further ideas?

HT1766 Can you back up an iPhone if it has already been disconnected?

Can you back up an iPhone if it has already been disconnected? My daughter thought she had backed it up, but hadn't and she already has her new one turned on. She has thousands of pics and contacts she wants to put on the new one.

Hey elena68
You can as long as it still works powers on and can get to the Home Screen. Just follow the steps outline in the article below to get that taken care of.

Thanks for taking the time to try to help me. . I checked and the Do not disturb is off. The check is still there stopping calls from coming in when phone is locked. Any other ideas? Thanks again!

How to prevent user from selecting a specific printer?

Hi there
I have a MailFolder which has an ArrayList of Email objects inside it. Each MailFolder has an attribute called folderFile which is a reference to a folder in the operating system. Each Email has an attribute called parentFile which is a reference to a file in the operating system.
Now, I am trying to put printing into my application.
When I print using a normal printer like my HP Deskjet or the likes - an actual physical printer - everything works fine. But when I print using the Microsoft Office Document Image Writer, things go wierd. The following things happen;
I call myMailFolder.getFolderFile().exists() and this = false. But if I (in the debugger) make a new file pointing to the same path, .exists() = true. Also if I look in the OS, the file exists. So somehow in the job.print() this Document Image writer seems to be messing up this file reference. The same thing happens to the myEmail.getParentFile().
So to fix this, can anyone tell me how to prevent the user from selecting this printer, or can anyone tell me why this is happening only with the Document Image Writer?
Many thanks!
Rachel

I have similar problem with our printing program. I am printing Java Tables, zoom in every column in a landscape page accross multiple pages.
There are two fatal problems:
1. On Dell Latitude laptop, the HP5100 printer didn't work; I have to change the code to draw the table header with 2D graphics.
2. Crash when printing on MS document image writer, but on some computers
it works perfectly.
Any one have a good solution/same result for topic 2?
Thanks,

Prevent user from selecting quiz answer

I'm using CP5 and my project is predominantly quiz questions. Each question allows infinite attempts and uses advanced answer options to 'show' audio feedback for all answers submitted (wrong and correct).
Also, each quiz has an audio introduction.
When a user enters a quiz slide, the audio intro plays, but the user is able to submit an answer. If they do this, the audio feedback for the question plays at the same time as the introduction audio. Similarly, if the user submits a wrong answer, then quickly submits another answer, the 2 feedback audios play concurrently.
So, things are working as I expect them to, but it's not ideal and is a little sloppy if a user doesn't wait for audio to stop before doing their thing.
Is there a way to prevent users from submitting answers while either the intro to the slide is playing or while another answer feedback is playing?
I haven't been able to figure out how to do this with advanced actions.
I also considered putting invisible, dead buttons or captions over the answers that would block a user's click until the audio is done, but there's no way that I know to put anything in front of a quiz object.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Guido,
please state your specific question in the posting as well, as after quickly reading it I had to stop and read a second time to really get the meaning of it.
So you want to know how you can prevent change of selection in certain cases:
For simple validation a client-side javascript would be easy, this way you can even prevent the submit-event from being fired.
For more complex validation you need the server, right. But I would not use the iterator method for this.
The "best" place for input validation would be do_handle_data, which is executed before do_handle_event, where you can react on the incoming row-selection-event and the validation result.

HT5085 i am unable to get itunes match on my lap top although i can get it on my ipad itunes match has already been purchased

hi i am unable to get itunes match on my laptop but is ok on my ipad this has already been purchased from apple

There is no work around, you must wait the 90 days (or however long is remaining) before associating the device with another Apple ID.
Keep in mind that if you log into your mother's iPad with your iTunes Store Apple ID she will then be using that Apple ID for everything including purchases. Any apps purchsed with her Apple ID can not longer be updated on the device.

Preventing user from selecting item in JTree

Does anyone know how to prevent the user from being able to change the cell in the tree that is currently selected?

Any ideas?

Why is my right-click disabled to prevent me from selecting "open link to new tab"?

I don't always want to replace my current window with my new selection of a link address. The right-click menu opens fine in IE. Nothing comes up when I right-click on a link in Firefox.

There are also websites that can disable the right-click context menu.
Tools > Options > Content : JavaScript > Advanced > Allow Scripts to:
[ ] "Disable or replace context menus"

I uninstalled and reinstalled and tried to restore my old profile, but I can't open Firefox, it says another copy is already open. How do I fix that?

I followed the steps to backup my profile and saved the file on my desktop. I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it. I tried to restore my profile by copying it to the "new profile" but it didn't work, my bookmarks etc did not come back. When I looked in the new profile my old one was there as a folder so I moved it out to the Profiles section. I now had 2 profiles. I deleted the new profile using the Profile manager, thinking the old one that was left would just take over. I then tried to open Firefox but it says
Close Firefox
A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time.
Where is this other copy? How do I close it?
Thank you.

Did you check the File > Work Offline setting?
Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
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.

HT4236 There HAS to be a way to get photos that were synced from the computer on to the iPad OFF of the iPad in a different way than having to email each individual photo back to oneself. And you can't delete them either, using up vital storage

My Ipad2 has photos synced from my main computer on it, taking up vital storage. I cannot remove them at all, and the folks at the Genius Bar can't help either. Apparently there is no way to remove them unless they were originally taken by the Ipad2 camera. And the only way you can get copies of those photos back on to the computer or another device is to individually email EACH photograph.
There has to be a way to remove these pics to free up the storage.
I almost was unable to load the new operating system because of the amount of photos on the iPad,which ended up on the iPad as a mistake in the first place during an early syncing when it was first purchased.
This is a HUGE glitch in the system. If you know otherwise, please advise!

I am using XNET CAN on a PXI system. When I modify the can database I get the error "the interface has already been opened.."

I have tried both building the XNET session from project explorer and by building a signal list in the VI.
Any suggestions? Thanks in Advance.

Thanks for the reply. I don't think I have any interface open. But to be sure, I rebooted everything - same result.
Is there some step in the project config that I am failing to do? In the PXI systems I had before XNET, I had to setup some CAN configuration stuff in MAX to get it to work, but I don't see that option anymore with XNET....
I have been sucessful in running XNET CAN VIs reading and writing the data from my database, but I stumble every time I add a signal or rename the database.
I made a simplified VI to illustrate, using a previously working database I now get the empty name message.(screen capture attached)
This is connected to a working CAN link, and I can see these signals in MAX properly.
Thanks in advance for your assistance!

Does your model Macbook Pro qualify?
MacBook Pro: Distorted video or no video issues . The affected computers were manufactured between approximately May 2007 and September 2008.
MacBook Pro (Early 2008): Dark bands showing intermittently on built-in display

I can't acess the apps on my desktop. It says download error yet there's nothing preventing them from appearing.

I've tried editing my firewall settings and adjusting my internet settings but it just won't work.
