I want to make a arrow picture blink when The Load cell is travelling down
I want to improve my app by putting some visual indicators in the form of 2 pictures , an arrow up and down , and would like these to blink according do wich way the numbers are going positive or negative when the data values on the displacment channel are changing ,Cant seem to find any vi to help manipulate the pictures , Blinking would be Ok or even better one disapear and the other appear when the numbers return negatively.??? any help appreciated

Dear Skegsy,
Fortunately, there is an example VI that does an excellent job of instructing one to use the custom control functionality to perform your desired action. To access these instructions, open LabVIEW, click [Help]>>[VI, Function, & How-To Help], search for "importing", select [graphics] under "importing", and click the link for "LabVIEW Custom Controls, Indicators, and Type Definitions". This link will open an Adobe Acrobat file with detailed instructions for your assistance.
I wrote (and attached) an example VI for you in which I customized one of the default LabVIEW boolean buttons to show an up arrow for the TRUE case and a down arrow for the FALSE case. I modified the Boolean button by right-clicking on the button from the Front Pa
nel, selecting [Advanced]>>[Customize...]. In the customize control window that now appears, you can modify any button using the help file instructions mentioned above.
Please note: the attached VIs may not function correctly in LabVIEW versions other than 7.0.
I hope this helps! Please don't hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance. Have a great day!
Kind Regards,

I want to make fancy arrows in cs5
I want to make an arrow that starts out wide and narrows to a smaller point. This would be similar to a shooting star effect. I did watch this video on how to make arrows and being able to bend them. This video is for cs3 but I do have CS5. The arrow command for cs5 is in stroke. Here is the link http://http://tv.adobe.com/watch/creative-suite-podcast-designers/create-arrows-in-illustr ator-cs3/
thanks
MikeArtbrush in CS 5 is not necessary except in certain cases.
You can make a custom arrow head in CS 5 pretty easy and to any shape you wish and the head can be scaleable.
1 There are two ways the create the arrow heads one with filled paths for head and tail and a stroke for he shaft. THis is the way the default arrowheads are made.
The problem here is when you scale the head it scales and changes weight in relation to the shaft in most cases this is desirable
Notice how the arrow head scaled compared to the shaft
2 The other way is strokes for the arrow head and tails and stroke for the shaft.
In this case the arrow remains the same weight in relation to the shaft as the original stroke.
You have to open the packages (right or control click the Illustrator icon to access the packages where you will find this
Open the Arrowheads.ai and follow the instructions but remember what I wrote above
you create a shaft that will be the back most object in that arrow head symbol, once you make the arrow head you make it a symbol and title it say Arrow 40 and place an instance on the canvas I guess you can add a new page or in crease the dimension of the page do not delete any of the preset arrowheads.
BTW I made the arrowhead for number 2 above. -
Greeting,
I want to reformat my external hard drive using Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted ) but before formatting it, I want to make sure that if I loose the hard drive or the hard drive get stolen, no one will be able to retrieve or recover the information on it so could you tell me what kind of encryption will be used or is there any way to recover the information?
Thanks!I think FileVault is used to encryp internal hard drive but I wanna encrypt an external hard drive with Mac OS Extended Journaled Encrypted which is completely different!

Suddenly I have problems moving files to the trash... get a dialog saying Finder wants to make changes and I must provide the password... Any explanation or ideas how I can get this to stop?
Please take these steps if you're prompted for a password when moving items in your home folder to the Trash.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/.Trash
2. Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info
from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
3. The dialog should show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section. If that's not what it shows, click the padlock icon in the lower right corner of the window and enter your password when prompted. Use the plus- and minus-sign buttons to give yourself Read & Write access and "everyone" No Access. Delete any other entries in the access list.
4. In the General section, uncheck the box marked Locked if it's checked.
5. From the action menu (gear icon) at the bottom of the dialog, select Apply to enclosed items and confirm.
6. Close the Info window and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above. -
If I want to make a separate apple ID then the rest of my family, but still want to use the same itunes account, is that possible?
Barrie222 wrote:

Yes, your entire family can use one AppleID just for purchases in the iTunes and App Stores, then each of you can use your own unique AppleIDs for all other services (iCloud accounts, iMessage accounts and so on).
You can have as many AppleIDs as you wish (or have email addresses for), and you can use a different one for each service Apple offers, if you wished to.
By doing what you suggest, you also limit the number of AppleIDs with payment information associated with them, so there is only one single AppleID that can be compromised that way. Keeping one AppleID for purchases and another (with no payment information tied to it) for everything else is not a bad practice for anyone to follow. -

*** ~ can this do this: i want to make multiple circles within circles like the target logo ~ ****** ~ The Invisible Problem: Video As The Best Medium For Most Things ~ ***
Do you know how to learn? I don't think you do. Because we've all learned the same way. From school. The broken school system that we all know, and that some are reinventing.
Let's elaborate. When learning anything (that isn't invisible), we don't need to know awkward, confusing, and strange words. That do not mean anything, in and of itself.
~ Hard Words ~
What I mean by the invisible? Take 1+1. That's arithmetic, a branch of mathematics. That's invisible. We don't know what 1 is. What don't know what 1 means. It's just a line that goes up and down on the right wall in a cave of a caveman's drawing.
Until, of course, some inventive educators (not necessarily the traditional concept of "teachers") decides upon themselves, and say, "Hey let's show what 1 means. These 1st graders doesn't understand what 1 means. Here's 1 apple, and here's another apple. 1+1. We've shown it. Then we're golden.
That's what seems to be invisible, but is not. Is it? Of course the idea is invisible. 1 does not designate 1 apple. Clearly 1, as a concept/idea, is invisible. 1 is "1 of a unit". But a unit could be anything. How do you really define a unit? Not all units are physical objects. And if they aren't physical, you cannot show it, on a physical level.
So, that's a little bit about what I mean by the invisible.
~ Love, as invisible ~
You can show love to someone. You can hug them. But you can still show things, in a physical way, when the idea/thing, love, is still invisible. Love is an emotion. Emotions are invisible. You can draw it, and symbolise an emotion. But is never truly what the emotion IS. You can show something invisible by representation. As a concept, the idea is still invisible.
How do you explain things that are invisible to someone? Like love. Really? I've no idea. I'm sure someone far smarter and knowledgeable would though.
The emotion is in the neuroscience of our "mind". So until neuroscience, as a scholarly field, advances where they can show in the brain via an MR or whatever machine/device they use. Then they can show emotions. Or maybe they cannot, and emotions are more complicated than that. And they would need to explain how an emotion like love works via no more than mere words.
I'm sure there's a more academic word for the "the invisible", in this linguistic sense. Not sure what field of study, or more likely, what fields of study, this would be categorised under. Categorised wrongly, obviously, as that's how all categories/genres are.
But I'll run across it one day.
~ What I say again? ~
So what did I say again? When learning anything (that isn't invisible), we don't need to know awkward, confusing, and strange words. That do not mean anything, in and of itself.
So these words.
First of all, why do we need words? To communicate with one another. But I said we don't need words when talking about things that aren't invisible. You may ask, "Well then, how can we communicate with one another without words?"
Images. Moving images. Like video.
A little bit of words, when necessary, help though.
So let's rephrase. We don't need complicated words. That doesn't mean anything.
Nonverbal communication accounts for safely 90% of the message.
How poorly designed text, as a communication medium, really is. We need to understand that.
~ Origins Of Stuff & Histories ~
If it's so bad, why do we use words, on topics that video can do far better?
Like much of what is wrong with the world, they stem from the outdated past. During a time period where that was the best option, and the best invention, humanity could make -- for the times -- for the times, I repeat.
~ The Video Age ~
Today, we live in a video-dominated age. When did video first start? Recently when the Web became more developed? Of course not, they had films back then if you really think about it.
~ Teachers: People That Speak Words ~
So teachers are like a video, only worst due to less flexibility in what you can do (if they were a software, they lack of many features)
But better in the way that they can give immediate feedback. That two-way system that video (premade videos only) doesn't have. Live video is an example of videos that aren't premade. Combining video with a live person is another example. I'm sure there are more.
But teachers are basing their teaching on the textbook, and little to none from their own base of knowledge, and any of that base of knowledge would've been from textbooks anyway.
~ The Video Age ~
If video is really so good, we doesn't everyone use it??
You know what? They do. The proportionally few good ones that is. You haven't gotten around? Live in that caveman's cave?
~ Pixels ~
Pixels, that topic, is a great example of how clearly video is the best medium ever to show. We don't need representation of words to confuse and clutter the physical objects that these digital objects and button are.
Video is the best medium, at this current point in time, to teach/show anything related to pixels. This could be photoshop, or whatever.
~ Results ~
So we live in this world where we now have video. But so much of society is outdated. With outdated practises.
I hate words when we don't need them When there is better mediums to communicate 100x more effectively than words ever could.
You fail to see how significant 100x really is. How many orders of a magnitude is that anyway? I don't know. I don't know enough.
You also fail to see how much of what was said is about invisible, highly abstract, things/ideas. And some things aren't. So which ones were the things I could've shown far better in video, or maybe everything could've expressed better on video?
Video = moving images + still images like diagrams, slides with charts & infographics + sounds (like music, etc.) + maybe words +
~ Ends ~
Look, the point is that words are bad in so many ways. SO. MANY. WAYS. I shouldn't have to say it any more than once if you actually knew how to learn. I shouldn't have to say it -- at all -- if you knew at this moment how to learn. And you need to understand that. That words are bad in SO MANY WAYS. And to stop using them. Especially when you're trying to teach (or give answers, solutions, etc.)
Words are easier, sometimes, though. So that could be why I'm using it.
I'm not using complicated words though. And this was about complicated, strange, and meaningless words. So get that straight.

Why can't we see the details of a picture or video taken with our iphone or Ipad? Detail like when it was taken the picture or when the movie was filmed. I think that this very very important for our memories.
Yes, I know that, but it was easier to see it on the Iphone self, like the other company phones. The name of the picture taken should be the date when it was taken.

My Battery indicator keeps blinking when the system is switched off.
HI,
My battery Indicator keeps on blinking when the system is switched off. When there is a AC power supply this indicattor ceases to blink. I removed the battery pack and put it back but the problem remained.
As my battery pack was old I also bought a new battery pack and charged it before using but the problem remained.
thanks...I will be really helpful if someone can help me out in this.

Why is picture blinking when pasting object to an animated gif???
I am working with animation and when finished my pic is blinking once saved? I am working with an animated gif and opening file in the video frames ..then I am trying to paste a dog with trasparant background. I have tried merging the top 2 layers, all the different locking options and saving each time...no matter what I do when viewing my pic the background ( animated pic) is blinking)?....I have CS3 extended. Can anyone offer advise?
When I click on the picture I see the animation.
You have a frame with only the dog showing. Go through your frames, selecting them one by one, and look at the layer visibitlity indicators. One of them is likely showing only the dog. Alternately, if you don't need that frame you can just delete it entirely, then Save For Web & Devices again.
Either that or a lightning storm is coming.
