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

Artbrush 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.

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,

How to make fancy labels in AppleWorks 6?

I want to make fancy labels with AppleWorks6.
Some with icons in front of the data.
Some with fancy shapes to use for scrapbook decoration.
How am I to proceed?

I mean the label has a fancy shape such as a heart or round shape. I would like to embed a icon and write my initials on it.
The issue then becomes mostly one of making sure the icon and initials are in the right position on the page. That will involve a bit of trial and error with plain paper (less expensive than label stock!).
Are the labels set out in a regular rectangular array? If not, then you'll have difficulty placing things correctly using a labels layout on a database document. Use a Draw document, and plan for a lot of trial and error before gettng it right.
Are the labels on a standard size sheet (eg. US Letter size) of backing material? Standard size in this case means a paper size that your printer is able to handle, and that your printer driver lists as a choice in paper size, or will accept as a custom size. If not, all is not lost—just use the next larger size.
Assuming all of your labels will contain the same icon and the same initials, they're essentially the same as return address labels—the initials are the return address, the icon is a graphic element placed behind the initials.
Sharon Joiner's User Tips Library item Return Address Labels with AW Database provides excellent instructions for creating these, and with minor revisions can be applied to your labels.
The revisions below apply to the instrctions in Sharon's post.
In paragraph 2, measure the distance from the top edge of the paper backing to the highest point of a label in the first row. Use this as the Top margin. Similarly measure the distance from the left edge of the paper backing to the leftmost point of a label in the first column. Use this as the Left margin.
In paragraph 4: Make sure that you choose New Layout (NOT New Labels Layout), then click the button for Labels. It's unlikely that your labels will match one of the listed Avery styles, so use Custom.
You'll need three numbers:
a count of how many columns of labels are on the page.
The height of a row—this is the distance from the top of one label to the top of the label in the next row.
The width of a column—the distance from the leftmost point of one label to the leftmost point of the next label in that row.
Paragraph's 7 and 7a: Because you want the icon ('graphic element") to be behind the initials ("return address), you might find it useful to reverse the order of these two steps.
Regards,
Barry

How to make curved arrows from circle?

Hi, I want to make four curved arrows that lead into each other. Ideally, arrow head would just be a > shape at the end of the line that is the same width as the line (i.e., as if a straight line was cut at the end, so no tips or gaps.) I have drawn a circle with the ellipse tool, but I can't figure out how to cut it properly. An AI file that sort of shows what I mean is at https://www.onlinefilefolder.com/2swDvNSyBkcsXd
Thanks in advance for any help!

Like Jacob described for:
Point 3: That is how I managed to get my 8 segments. Basically, if you centered you cursor in the middle of the circle and set the rotation of the arrows (in my instance 40 degrees) - Command D and then it duplicates the arrows all around the circle accurately.
You are welcome, Neil, and no need to apologize.
You may have a look at the link by Jeanette in post #4; it shows end results.
Here are the instructions in the first post with an extension of 3):
1) Create the circle with the desired width in the form of Stroke Weight;
2) Create a V shaped path with two segments on top of the circle where the first gap is to be, lengthwise extending outside the circle stroke, and with a Stroke Weight corresponding to the gap;
3) Copy and place so you have all V shapes where you want the gaps; you may do that by rotating copies round the centre of the circle 1), this may be done in different ways, one being to create an auxliary concentric circle extending past the V shape and rotating copies of that and the V shape using the Object>Transform>Rotate and inserting the desired value(s), then deleting the auxiliary circles;
4) Select all and Object>Path>Outline Stroke;
5) Pathfinder>Minus front (Subtract from shape ares in older versions, maybe pressing Alt/Option to expand).

Ed - by sequence of numbers, are you talking about the rectangle with the arrow that sorts by track number? I've tried to follow your directions to Mona but my playlist still gets burned to CD in alpha order. driving me crazy. any other suggestions? thanks, Chris
Chris, The sequence number is the first column of numbers, to the left of the Name column. It always goes 1, 2,3 etc. It is not the same as the Track Number, which has its own column.
As a precaution before burning, make sure that Shuffle is tunred off, and that you right-click the playlist name and choose 'Copy to Play Order" (although technically they should not affect the burn).

I want to make a simple line chart

i want to make a simple line chart using the data in two nonadjacent columns.
it seems that the easiest way to do this is to export the sheet to google docs and use THEIR charting, which is a two-click deal.
is there an easy way to do this in numbers?
my impression:
numbers:
very fancy, super pretty, easy to modify APPEARANCE, difficult to use actual charts. custom paint job on a junker
googledocs:
available everywhere, basic, more difficult with actual data flexibility, but you can use what you've got.
the whole emphasis on numbers seems to be how pretty i can make displays, but not a lot of emphasis on making it easy to make things work.
can anyone shed some light on how to make this simple instead of pretty?

You can definitely use the technique I mentioned to order the columns to make it easy to chart:
Here I created a table (the top one) to hold the original data and make a second table (the lower one) to pull data into two adjacent columns:
The bottom table, as I said pulls data from the top data table:
Then highlight the data in the table to chart, and selec the chart type from the menu (I suggest the bar chart which is the first item in the chart tool menu):
I made up this data and mean it to be no reflection on your running ability

I had created two photo albums on my ipad, by transferring photos from my hp laptop. I want to make space available on my ipad by deleting these photos, but the same hp laptop is no more with me. How do I delete these photos?

I had created two photo albums on my ipad, by transferring photos from my hp laptop. I want to make space available on my ipad by deleting these photos, but the same hp laptop is no more with me. How do I delete these photos?

1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad

When I create a new polygon with applescript in in design cs4, I want to make a drop shadow

when I create a new polygon with applescript in in design cs4, I want to make a drop shadow
Is it possible?
I am working with MAC OS 10.6.7 and CS4
Can somebody help me?

Adding a drop shadow should work fine regardless of shape… As Im a big fan of using styles everywhere I can…
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5"
activate
tell the active document
set GotNoStyle to make new object style
set properties of drop shadow settings of fill transparency settings of GotNoStyle to ¬
{mode:drop, distance:3, angle:135, spread:0, blend mode:multiply, opacity:50, honor other effects:true, x offset:3, y offset:3, knocked out:true, use global light:false}
set SomeFill to the last swatch
tell the first page
make new rectangle with properties ¬
{fill color:SomeFill, geometric bounds:{10, 10, 30, 30}}
apply object style (the result) using GotNoStyle without clearing overrides
make new oval with properties ¬
{fill color:SomeFill, geometric bounds:{10, 40, 30, 70}}
apply object style (the result) using GotNoStyle without clearing overrides
end tell
end tell
end tell
You can then edit the object style to make global changes… Sorry my values were for my euro metric head…

I am asked setup wants to make changes. not sure if it is apple or adobe

Hi I am re-new to apple. I am attempting to install some Adobe Element software. I enterend the code key. Adobe allowed me to skip an Adobe ID.. the next screen asked "Set up wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this" I don't know if its from Adobe or from Apple and i dont really know what to enter. My apple password doesnt work. Is there a generic apple password when you get a new computer for setup etc.? It doesnt make any sense that it is adobe either...thanks for your feedback.

The dialog is from the Adobe installer. If you don't have a password configured, then you cannot install software. You were supposed to set a password when you went through your initial setup of the computer. There is no generic password. You will have to reconfigure your user account to add a password.

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!

I want to make a slideshow to view on my television with image's duration ranging from seconds to an hour or more and I want to use my iPhone or iPad mini to control the television through my Apple tv.
I've been unable to locate an app that will do this. The Photos app that comes with the phone or iPad has extremely limited duration controls. PhotoStream seems to load everything from my phone or iPad not allowing me to just load up a set group of images.
iPhoto for iPad is getting some terrible recent reviews. I tried a couple other free apps but they don't use Airplay.
I can do something like this with iPhoto and my MB Air, but it's kind of ugly to have the computer open in order to connect by Airplay to my Apple TV. I've thought the iPad or iPhone would be a lower profile controller.
Am I out of luck?

Thanks for your help. Since I'm uninterested in loading all my photos (the only option) into photostream, I won't be able to use the settings in ATV. I guess I'm just stuck with using iPhoto on my MB Air. Thanks again.

When I turn my computer on (Windows 7) I receive a message that Apple wants to make a change to the hardware. I click on yes but nothing happens. The change has something to do with Apple "push". I recently had a problem with"push" on iTunes when I tried to sync my iPod Touch. I have latest software for iTunes and iPod. Can anyone tell me what to do to get this change to install?

Since hardware cannot be changed with software, perhaps you would be so kind as to post the exact wording of the message?
