I have letters on top of image...want to make transparent

I have a logo in vector format that I'm modifying to make certain areas transparent. I have the letters "P4B" that overlay part of the image. Basically, I want the image to have the letters "P4B" cut out of it.
I've reviewed basic lessons on clipping/opacity masks, but I can't get the effect I want. I'm using Adobe Illustrator CC on a Mac. Any help is appreciated!

Make Opacity Mask with Clip unticked and Invert Mask ticked
There was another gray object underneath, so I couldn't see it before...I kept ungrouping objects until I could move the top one away to show that the effect was working. Then I erased the gray beneath it. Presto! I really appreciate your help. I've been stumped for a good day or so.

I have a new computer and I want to make it my home device for I tunes. I have home sharing, and all of the music and files are on the new computer. Now what do I do to make the new computer the home computer for Itunes?

I have a new computer and I want to make it my home device for I tunes. I have home sharing, and all of the music and files are on the new computer. Now what do I do to make the new computer the home computer for Itunes?

The computer (windows platform) where I initially began using Itunes has four other computers/devices that are shared with it. All four of the other computers show up in my account, and can be managed. Or I can remove them. But on the new computer that I want to be my base computer (home if you will). The computer I want it to replace, when ITunes is open, has a tool bar, with various functions. All of the other devices are linked to that computer in ITunes, under Home SHaring. The new computer, shows the downloads via Home Sharing, but it does not show/have any tool bar.
I want to activate the new computer to be the computer via ITunes where all of the devices are linked to it as the base for ITunes. And, I don't know how to make that happen.
I hope that makes sense.

I imported a 17' MiniDV piece into iMovie and it's lost synch. How can that be? I have done no editing, I just want to make it into a DVD.

Hi
Do You mean miniDV tape (interlaced video PAL or NTSC) ?
If so - iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - are not tools of Choise if You want a DVD as result - They all discards every second line resulting in less quality.
Sync. Problem - If miniDV tape - How was it recorded -
Audio mode - Is Camera set to record in 12-bit 32kHz - Should be 16-bit 48kHz
Recording mode - SP (60 min on a 60 min tape) or LP (90 min on 60 min tape)
If LP-mode - Then You need - Same Camera as recorded - tolerances is to small even for a Camera of same brand and type to play-back.
I would use FinalCut Express and a setting of PAL/N TSC and 32kHz audio if Camera is set to record in 12-bit
If LP-mode - iMovie HD6 is more tolerant in Captuing than FinalCut and Imediatly after Import/Capture - Extract Audio
And set iM HD6 to NOT IMPORT AS INDIVIDUAL Clips - to many drop outs to work.

I have a new macbook and i want to make it my new home for my iphone, as well as transfer all the items on the iphone. i already removed and deauthorized everything from my old computer.

I have a new macbook and i want to make it my new home for my iphone, as well as transfer all the items on the iphone. i already removed and deauthorized everything from my old computer.

1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above covers your iTunes purchases. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
also, there are PhoneView and iRip.

We have Creative Cloud. A client wants to make a free magazine. How much?

Hi everyone!
We have Creative Cloud, and a client of ours wants to create a free magazine (multiple issues a year) for iPad and iPhone, distributed in Newsstand.
We know tons about InDesign, but nothing about Digital Publishing Suite.
How much is this going to cost to create and put up in the Apple Newsstand?
Thank you in advance!

If they got the funds buy the pro account. Put it on the bill. And you run it. All depends on how deep the clients pockets are.
Single editon would be good for a yearly catalog IMHO. Or something with a shelf life of a year. If its a one time cost with no DL's to buy. Save Enterprise for the Fortune 500 clients.
A magazine is going to be a multi-issue situation with subs. They might also want to charge if it works. You get a certain amount of DL's to star with with the cost of PRO and if you burn through them (which is a good thing) you need to buy more.
I don't think you get any anyaltics with single edition either but I could be wrong.

I want to make changes to pages document then have it update in iCloud, i want to make changes to pages document then have it update in iCloud

Keynote and Pages work just fine on my phone and ipad and sync with iCloud with no ploblems. My proble is when I access Keynote and Pages in iCloud from my Mac, it requires me to download the presentation or document in one of three choices. I down download it and make changes in Keynote or Pages; but I can not get it to update back in iCloud. If anyone could provide me with this secret step by step process I would be eternally greatful. Thank you

I just purchased Pages for my Mac assuming that it would sync with my iPad and iPhone ...
Boy, am I an idiot, thinking that Apple would design something to make my life easier, rather than try to extract more and more revenue from me and control each and everything I do in their "ecosystem."
I hope you get the fact that I'm being sarcastic here, I'm just a little upset that Pages does nothing of the sort: It ONLY syncs between mobile devices, not to your Mac desktop.
And so I look up from my lowly position and ask the great Apple: What is the point? Why can't I seamlessly sync from my desktop to my mobile device? Without this kind of functionality, iCloud is a joke ...

How do i transfer pictures from icloud to my pc, i have done the back up but want to make sure the pictures are there before turning off icloud on my devices.

How do I transfer my pictures from icloud to my pc?

Hello citcatprincess,
Importing the photos from iCloud is relatively easy. I would first take a look at the first article that will walk you through with making copies of your Photos as well as other data from iCloud if you need it. The one piece that you will need is iCloud for Windows so that way photos will sync up for you.

Insert an image button with a transparent background?

I would like to be able to use an image button with a
transparent background. I have converted my graphic files to .gifs
with transparent backgrounds. But when imported into Captivate,
they have a white background. If I insert as an image button and
check "transparent" it turns the entire image transparent. Is it
possible to have a transparent background when using the image
button functionality in Captivate? Thanks!

I still cannot get this work. Does anyone have anymore help?
I have .gif files for the image button with a transparent
background. When I insert into Captivate as an image I can click
the option for a transparent background, and the image appears in
my Captivate project with a transparent background. Now, what I
really want to do is insert this into my project as a button. I
insert this into Captivate as an image button (there is no option
for a transparent background) and the image appears in my Captivate
project with a white background. Is it possible to have an image
button with a transparent background? Do I need to do a workaround
(something like, use my image along with a transparent button or
clickbox on top of the image?) Thanks for the help.

What is best antivirus software for Mac Mini? Recently the Trovi virus was on my computer and I want to make sure it is completely gone.

What is the best antivirus software for Mac Mini? I had thought Mac's were safer from viruses but recently I think the Trovi virus infected my computer, I have taken steps to remove but want to make sure computer is clean.

To learn how to defend yourself from the threat of adware read How to install adware.
There will always be threats to your information security associated with using any Internet - connected communications tool:
You can mitigate those threats by following commonsense practices
Delegating that responsibility to software is an ineffective defense
Assuming that any product will protect you from those threats is a hazardous attitude that is likely to result in neglecting point #1 above.
OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.
A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
Never install any product that claims to "clean up", "speed up", "optimize", "boost" or "accelerate" your Mac; to "wash" it, "tune" it, or to make it "shiny". Those claims are absurd.Such products are very aggressively marketed. They are all scams.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources.
Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
"Questionable sources" include but are not limited to spontaneously appearing web pages or popups, download hosting sites such as C net dot com, Softonic dot com, Soft pedia dot com, Download dot com, Mac Update dot com, or any other site whose revenue is primarily derived from junk product advertisements.
If you need to install software that isn't available from the Mac App Store, obtain it only from legitimate sources authorized by the software's developer.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iCloud, iTunes, or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Java can be disabled in System Preferences.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
Beware spontaneous popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > check "Block popup windows".
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but unsolicited popups are commonly used to deceive people into installing unwanted software they would never intentionally install.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever receive a popup window indicating that your Mac is infected with some ick or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
The same goes for a spontaneously appearing dialog insisting that you upgrade your video player right this instant. Such popups are frequently associated with sites that promise to deliver movies or other copyrighted content "for free".
The more insistent it is that you upgrade or install something, the more likely it is to be a scam. Close the window or tab and forget it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. Most of these attempts are pathetic and are easily recognized, but that hasn't stopped prominent public figures from recently succumbing to this age-old scam.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

Does anyone have a good example or explanation of that ? Thanks.

// that looks like a pretty poor tutorial. but
public function init(e:Event=null):void{
go=new Go(); // you need to declare go
addChild(go);
go.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,startgame);
public function startgame(e:Event):void{
removeChild(start_mc); // where start_mc is the movieclip of your start screen
addChild(game_mc); // where game_mc is the movieclip of your game

@Naiks, having suffered through unsuccessful synching attempts for Calendar and Contacts myself, l would suggest you try the following:
UNINSTALL iCloud control panel from your PC. Seems silly, but do it.
Go into Outlook, and look at the very top menu. Click FILE, then ACCOUNT SETTINGS, then click the popup box.
You will see a list of all your email accounts. Make sure that ONE of them has a checkmark against it. If not, select the account your want as your default, and click "set as default.
Exit out of Outlook and reboot your machine.
Now reinstall iCloud, check CALENDAR and CONTACTS, and do as instructed when prompted.
Reboot for good luck and now launch OUTLOOK. All that remains is to locate your iCloud Contacts and Calendar files, and make them your default.
IMPORTANT: Don't panic if you can't find your contacts -- they're there. Click CONTACTS and you'll see you have several available contact files. Locate the one label "iCloud" in grey type. Right-click on it, select PROPERTIES, then click the Outlook Address Book tab. Check the box that says something like "Make this my default Outlook Address Book." Keep clicking "apply" and "okay" until you've exited out of the dialog box maze.
You may have to do something similar with your Calendar files. I dd not, but if you need to, do it.
Everything should now sync pretty seamlessly.
I didn't have the exact same problem as you, but my dilemma was close enough. Good luck!

There is nothing in the folder. How do I unlock this folder and delete it? When I try to delete it, I'm asked for my password which I put in and is accepted, but will not delete the folder.

If you are sure there is nothing in it, download trashit, a useful free app. That will dispose of it.

I want to make a copy of slide show create from my own photographs and with a an audio track behind them. I have carefully followed the iDVD tutorials and burnt the result to a disc but image quality is very poor. What is wrong?

I want to make a DVD of a slide-show with an audio track behind the photographs. I have carefully followed the iDVD video tutorials but the result is far from satisfactory. The quality of the images on the resulting DVD are blurred and indistict although the original photographs are of a very high quality. Where am I going wrong? Would I have better results from a different program than the inbuilt iDVD and if so so what programs have others found to be better? I should be grateful for some expert guidance.

Hey Falcopebo,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Looks like you have image quality issues when using iDVD to burn.
iDVD 7.0: Burned DVD has interlacing, pixelation, or image quality issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4078
A standard DVD made by iDVD is made to the standard DVD resolution of 720 X 480, which is smaller than most HDTVs and monitors. When expanded to fit the entire screen or monitor, the image will distort slightly due to upscaling to fit the screen or monitor.
Have a nice day,
