I have a question regarding the screen setting and an adjustment layer. It seems when I first tried this to lighten segments of a photo i.e. whites of eyes, it worked fine. I could go over it until I got the desired effect. Now when I do it, I get a li

Using blend modes with adjustment layers. I am having trouble getting the results I want by using a screen or multiply blend modes with adjustment layers. When I use the brush to reveal the hidden image, I am not gettting consistant darkness or lightness. I only have one photo open but it seems like I am getting data or colors from somewhere else. Anyone else have a problem like this?

I will address your second question.
First, make sure your iPhone and iPad have absolutely identical Apple IDs. If they do, use that Apple ID in Settings > iCloud on your iPhone to select the "Notes" option. Lo and behold, all your iCloud notes should appear on your iPhone.

Hello, I have a question regarding the sharing on iMovie. I have just recently purchased an Elgato Gaming Capture HD and I then finished my recording with that and put it into imovie. I worked long and hard on the project and when I go click the share feature on iMovie all the noral options pop up and when I actually click where I want to share it to nothing at all happens. If you know what is wrong/ what I am doing wrong please let me know.

I have just got my iPad2 and very pleased with it. I have a question regarding the monthly (recommended) battery full charge. Should I let the battery completely die down to nothing at all or would this be bad for my iPad?

I have just got my iPad2 and am very pleased with it. I have a question regarding the monthly (recommended) battery full charge. Should I let the battery completely die down to nothing at all before I plug in to recharge or would this complete drain be bad for my iPad?

It's not bad for it - on this page www.apple.com/batteries/ipad.html it says :
For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).

I have a question regarding the iPod Touch and iPhone batteries.

Hello,
I started asking myself questions lately about my iPod Touch 5th generation battery. A few months ago, when a friend of mine asked me to plug her iPhone 5S in the wall (the battery depleted), I noticed that her phone was at 1% of battery power. Then I compared my iPod Touch battery with her phone's battery, and discovered that my iPod Touch stops working when the battery is close to 10% battery power. This is concerning to me because I feel like I only have about 85-90% of battery power available when I use my iPod Touch, while my friend has over 99% of battery available. It's a huge gap, I can't use this 10% that I wish i had. I'm wondering why iPods can't stop functioning when the battery is close to 1% instead of 10%? Can you imagine not being able to use 10% of your battery! And it was like this since iOS 6.1.3. My iPod Touch would shut down automatically when the battery would be depleted, but in reality, it still had 10, maybe 15% left. Why is that?
Thank you.

Hey Lil'fighter, First, stop comparing an iPod with an iPhone. They may look a like on the outside, share the same iOS, and some of the components, but that is as far as it goes! The biggest reason your friends iPhone out last the iPod is a bigger battery, greater capacity. Secondly, the phone is configured a bit differently and uses power a little more effectively. Third, it is impossible to completely drain the battery in either device. A safety circuit prevents you from doing that. With Li-ion batteries if you completely drain one, it will de-ionize and become useless; never charge again. I suspect the threshold is set higher for an iPod then on an iPhone. But if you feel your iPod is not performing as it should, and a reset or restore does not improve function, then by all means take it to Apple and have it evaluated. Hope this helps. Cheers.

Hey i have a question regarding the apple ipod and return which hopefully--

could be easily answered.'
Hey my name is Isaac. I am an earlier buyer of the Ipod got it a week or two into sales. When i got my ipod at first it would freeze way too often. My case is to plead for another one although it wasn't successfull,(apple service) well anyway so my screen is pretty bad right now so, scratches are horrible. the case which the ipod came with didn't work, so it's getting hard for me to watch anything on the video, plus there's a couple of dead pixels. So the problem is do you think they'll send me another one, for retutrn of course
ps-heard ther tardin in nanos which are scratched so this is a big question,
thanks so much a reply is greatly appreciated,
thanks again
Isaac

ps-heard ther tardin in nanos which are scratched so this is a big question"
This is more myth instead of fact.
Dead pixel issue:

Apple will not replace an IPOD because of scratches. How bad are they?

Question regarding the Transformation activity in BPEL

Hi,
I have a question regarding the Transformation activity in BPEL.
I have a database adapter that uses a PL/SQL API. The API returns two tables of nested objects and it automatically generates a schema for me based on the outputs structure. I need to use the Transformation activity to map both these out parameters to root element in the destination.
The element in the destination is "unbounded". Please take a look at the following screen shot -
http://www-apps.us.oracle.com:1100/~rvishnuv/transform1.gif
From the screen shot, you can notice that I have two XML segments X_TEST_TBL and X_TEST_TBL1 in the source and I have one GLOGXMLElement ("unbounded") in the destination. I need to map each of the source elements to the same destination. Then internally, I will be mapping the elements of X_TEST_TBL to "Location" segment/element and the elements of "X_TEST_TBL1" to "ItemMaster" segment/element. If I try to use "foreach" and map second
element "X_TEST_TBL1" also GLOGXMLElement using the foreach, I get the following error -
http://www-apps.us.oracle.com:1100/~rvishnuv/transform1_error.gif
Let us say my X_TEST_TBL contians two records and X_TEST_TBL1 contains one record. Is there any way that I can use these two out parameters to map to the same destination (GLOGXMLElement) so that my final document contains multiple "GLOGXMLElement"s that represents data from both the output parameters? i.e. there should be in total of three occurances of GLOGXMLelement in the output document such that two occurances correspond to data obtained from X_TEST_TBL and one corresponds to data from X_TEST_TBL1.
Please let me know if there is any way to achieve this.
Thanks

Question regarding the pen tool (w/ picture inside)

Hello everyone! I have a question regarding the pen tool. I think this picture is very helpful for my question:
So in this pic is an orange rectangle and within that rectangle is a blue stripe. I would like the blue stripe to be perfectly flush (not over, and not under) the edge of the rectangle. For example, on the bottom end of the blue stripe, you can clearly see that the stripe does not extend far enough to the edge of the orange rectangle. At the top of the stripe, it goes a little bit over (a bit hard to see). I work with some complex shapes when using the pen tool and it is really slowing me down to compensate for over/under shapes. If it could just snap to the borders of other shapes it would make my life a lot easier. Thanks for reading and please help!

A couple of thoughts come to mind:
1. You could create the shape "face on", using guides, and the points will snap to guides with snap enabled. Then you could transform the whole thing together by selecting all the shape layers.
2. Holding down the shift key while dragging a point seems to cause it to snap to some things under some conditions. However, on having just tried to recreate what you're showing I didn't see the proper snap happening sometimes.
3. There's the full manual approach, of course where you zoom into thousands of percent and move the points by hand manually. I assume this is what you're trying to avoid.

I have some questions regarding setting up a software RAID 0 on a Mac Pro

I have some questions regarding setting up a software RAID 0 on a Mac pro (early 2009).
These questions might seem stupid to many of you, but, as my last, in fact my one and only, computer before the Mac Pro was a IICX/4/80 running System 7.5, I am a complete novice regarding this particular matter.
A few days ago I installed a WD3000HLFS VelociRaptor 300GB in bay 1, and moved the original 640GB HD to bay 2. I now have 2 bootable internal drives, and currently I am using the VR300 as my startup disk. Instead of cloning from the original drive, I have reinstalled the Mac OS, and all my applications & software onto the VR300. Everything is backed up onto a WD SE II 2TB external drive, using Time Machine. The original 640GB has an eDrive partition, which was created some time ago using TechTool Pro 5.
The system will be used primarily for photo editing, digital imaging, and to produce colour prints up to A2 size. Some of the image files, from scanned imports of film negatives & transparencies, will be 40MB or larger. Next year I hope to buy a high resolution full frame digital SLR, which will also generate large files.
Currently I am using Apple's bundled iPhoto, Aperture 2, Photoshop Elements 8, Silverfast Ai, ColorMunki Photo, EZcolor and other applications/software. I will also be using Photoshop CS5, when it becomes available, and I will probably change over to Lightroom 3, which is currently in Beta, because I have had problems with Aperture, which, until recent upgrades (HD, RAM & graphics card) to my system, would not even load images for print. All I had was a blank preview page, and a constant, frozen "loading" message - the symbol underneath remained static, instead of revolving!
It is now possible to print images from within Aperture 2, but I am not happy with the colour fidelity, whereas it is possible to produce excellent, natural colour prints using its "minnow" sibling, iPhoto!
My intention is to buy another 3 VR300s to form a 4 drive Raid 0 array for optimum performance, and to store the original 640GB drive as an emergency bootable back-up. I would have ordered the additional VR300s already, but for the fact that there appears to have been a run on them, and currently they are out of stock at all, but the more expensive, UK resellers.
I should be most grateful to receive advice regarding the following questions:
QUESTION 1:
I have had a look at the RAID setting up facility in Disk Utility and it states: "To create a RAID set, drag disks or partitions into the list below".
If I install another 3 VR300s, can I drag all 4 of them into the "list below" box, without any risk of losing everything I have already installed on the existing VR300?
Or would I have to reinstall the OS, applications and software again?
I mention this, because one of the applications, Personal accountz, has a label on its CD wallet stating that the Licence Key can only be used once, and I have already used it when I installed it on the existing VR300.
QUESTION 2:
I understand that the failure of just one drive will result in all the data in a Raid 0 array being lost.
Does this mean that I would not be able to boot up from the 4 drive array in that scenario?
Even so, it would be worth the risk to gain the optimum performance provide by Raid 0 over the other RAID setup options, and, in addition to the SE II, I will probably back up all my image files onto a portable drive as an additional precaution.
QUESTION 3:
Is it possible to create an eDrive partition, using TechTool Pro 5, on the VR300 in bay !?
Or would this not be of any use anyway, in the event of a single drive failure?
QUESTION 4:
Would there be a significant increase in performance using a 4 x VR300 drive RAID 0 array, compared to only 2 or 3 drives?
QUESTION 5:
If I used a 3 x VR300 RAID 0 array, and installed either a cloned VR300 or the original 640GB HD in bay 4, and I left the Startup Disk in System Preferences unlocked, would the system boot up automatically from the 4th. drive in the event of a single drive failure in the 3 drive RAID 0 array which had been selected for startup?
Apologies if these seem stupid questions, but I am trying to determine the best option without foregoing optimum performance.

Well said.
Steps to set up RAID
Setting up a RAID array in Mac OS X is part of the installation process. This procedure assumes that you have already installed Mac OS 10.1 and the hard drive subsystem (two hard drives and a PCI controller card, for example) that RAID will be implemented on. Follow these steps:
1. Open Disk Utility (/Applications/Utilities).
2. When the disks appear in the pane on the left, select the disks you wish to be in the array and drag them to the disk panel.
3. Choose Stripe or Mirror from the RAID Scheme pop-up menu.
4. Name the RAID set.
5. Choose a volume format. The size of the array will be automatically determined based on what you selected.
6. Click Create.
Recovering from a hard drive failure on a mirrored array
1. Open Disk Utility in (/Applications/Utilities).
2. Click the RAID tab. If an issue has occurred, a dialog box will appear that describes it.
3. If an issue with the disk is indicated, click Rebuild.
4. If Rebuild does not work, shut down the computer and replace the damaged hard disk.
5. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
6. Drag the icon of the new disk on top of that of the removed disk.
7. Click Rebuild.

Drive A + B = VOLUME ONE
Drive C + D = VOLUME TWO
What you put on those volumes is of course up to you and easy to do.
A system really only needs to be backed up "as needed" like before you add or update or install anything.
/Users can be backed up hourly, daily, weekly schedule
Media files as needed.
Things that hurt performance:
Page outs
Spotlight - disable this for boot drive and 'scratch'
SCRATCH: Temporary space; erased between projects and steps.

(normally I'd link to Wikipedia but I can't load right now)
Disk drives are the slowest component, so tackling that has always made sense. Easy way to make a difference. More RAM only if it will be of value and used. Same with more/faster processors, or graphic card.

Iphone 5 got wet last week. Been in rice until today. It turned on and worked fine, I could see a water spot in the middle but still worked fine, 3 hours in it shut off to black screen with apple logo. Any ideas what to do?

Iphone 5 got wet last week. Been in rice until today. It turned on and worked fine, I could see a water spot in the middle but still worked fine, 3 hours in it shut down to the black screen with apple logo. Screen stays up for 10 seconds ago and then goes black and then black screen with apple logo comes back. Any ideas what to do?

At this point it's likely that the iPhone has suffered damage and you'll have to take or send it to Apple for replacement. If you have AppleCare+ coverage on the iPhone, the cost will be US $49. Otherwise the cost will be US $229.
Regards.

I have a question regarding my txt/alert tones. I recently updated my iPhone 5's software without first backing it up on iCloud or my computer (oops). After my phone finished updating, i lost the new ringtones and txt/alert tones i had bought.

I have a question regarding my txt/alert tones. I recently updated my iPhone 5's software without first backing it up on iCloud or my computer (oops). After my phone finished updating, i lost the new ringtones and txt/alert tones i had bought. I connected my iPhone to my computer and sync'd it hoping that it could download my purchases from the itunes store and then put them back on to my phone but no such luck. When i look at my iphone on my computer and look at tones, they do not show up at all. However, if i click on the "On This iPhone" tab and click on "Tones" the deleted ringtones and altert tones show up...they are just grey'd out and have a dotted circle to the left of them. I also tried to go to the iTunes store on my phone and redownload them and it tells me that i have already purchased this ringtone and asks me if i want to buy it again. I press Cancel. I know when i do that with music it would usually let me redownload the song without buying it again but it wont let me with the ringtones...so how do i get them back? any help would be greatly appreicated

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

I have read all the questions regarding the "Can't send photo using iMessage".

I have read all the questions regarding the "Can't send photo using iMessage". I followed everything and check everything that was in it. It's still the same. I am still not able to send a photo. It started happening last week. It was fine before that. There is no error message.
It will try to send but it will get stuck just before it sends
and the red ! will appear with the "Not Delivered" status.
When i tap on the !, it just says "This iMessage was not delived".
No other message or photo is sending as the same time as the photo.
I did reset it, I checked the email address, removed it as well. Turned it off then back on. Signed out and signed back in. Wi-Fi strength is very good. iOS is 6.0.1. I checked for updates, it is up-to-date I also checked a link http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755. It did not help at all.
What's wrong?!?!?!?!

It is not a matter of reconsidering the decision. There are unsolveable technical problems with trying to run a program such as Firefox on Blackberry OS. We would need Blackberry to distribute a tool similar to Android's NDK to run on Blackberries.

I have a new Apple TV which is working fine except that I cannot access .mov files which are in my iTunes Library. How can I get to these? I can run them on my computer and select Apple TV on the screen, but the Apple TV goes to a black screen

Mov is a container format, you'd need to look at the codec used by the movie file inside the container to know whether it will work with the Apple TV or not.

Question Regarding the Sound Blaster X-Fi Extreme Gam

Hello everyone, I apologize if this question has been asked dozens of times, but it's something I've dug through countless number of posts to find an answer to. I bought a sennheiser pc 350 headset this past weekend along with a sound blaster x-fi x-treme gamer sound card. I opened up my case, plugged the card into the pci slot, screwed it down and finally plugged in the power cable into the card. Upon bootup I disabled the on board sound in the BIOs, although?I did notice that the optical out slot emitted a redish light, which I'm not sure indicates a problem or not.
Anyways, after booting up the computer detects the new hardware, so I install everything on the vista CD before going online and downloading the latest drivers off the creative website. I'm running Vista 64 bit ultimate btw. After installation I reboot the system and hook my microphone into optical out and my headset into line . I ended up getting sound in my headset just fine, but no matter what I did I could not for the love of me get the mic to work. And that's the sole problem, the little microphone lol. I've read several posts about the same thing, although they date awhile back and I was hoping a solution has emerged since. I've read that on the x-fi control panel line and mic need to NOT be muted, but whenever I unmute on, it mutes the other. I also find the digital I/O setting tab which also may be the culprit, as it has the selection for mic-in/line , but I can't select it!
Otherwise I believe everything is fine.. in the control panel under speech recog options I went into advanced settings under speech recog and set the sb xfi mic to the default... and yes, in the sound tab the mic is the default with everything else being unavaible and the auxiliary being disabled ( is this ok? ) and in playback speakers are the default rather than spdif out - not sure which should be the default. The mic, speakers, and spdif say they are all "working" and although playback works... no recording.
Anyways, I'm sorry for the long post, I just thought I would give as much possible information as?I could to help get a solution... I appreciate any comments and please - please help me fix this thing! lol.

Sounds like you have misapprehended something regarding usage of analog and digital I/Os?
st, you don't plug the microphone into optical output but into FlexiJack port (as it's called). Check the X-Fi User's Guide for more.
2nd, when you wonder that those other choices being not available when one is selected, what makes you think that the card would be able to record more than one source at once through one input port (For Creative cards, this can be possible when using ASIO drivers but, does your card have more than one input port. (if there's a AUX port (internal connector on card board) then maybe you could get both input ports listed w/ ASIO)?
3rd, why the ouput would be defaulted to S/PDIF (you are normally using headphones or acti've analog speakers)?
I don't know this model but if there's a separate Mixer Panel applet for X-Fi (you maybe need to install the Creative Software bundle to get this) then, have you checked your settings there (playback source should be set to MIC and recording source set to MIC)?
