Identify Point Type and Area Type, not just Type

Ai tells you what you have selected in the Control Panel and in the Appearance Panel.
But when you select any text, it just says "Type".
It would be nice if it instead said "Point Type" or "Area Type".
I often have to play with type I've selected to see what kind it is because I've forgotten or whatever.
I may want to scale the type up but there's 2 different approaches and it depends on which kind of type you've got.
It would be really hand to have Ai just tell you when you select some type.

You can see if there are in
ports and out ports in the selected text, if it exists then it is area type otherwise it is a point type object. In port \ out port is the small rectangle along the bounding box at the top left and bottom right corner of the selected text object.

When I create a playlist and sync it to my iPhone not all of the playlist transfers over. All of the songs are there and are playable they just do not show up on the playlist.

When I create a playlist and sync it to my iPhone not all of the songs on the playlist transfer over. All of the songs are there and are playable they just do not show up on the playlist. For example, in itunes on my computer a playlist has over 100 songs, but when I sync my phone, my iphone only shows 60 songs. I can go into my phone and add the missing songs to the playlist, but the next time I sync my phone the songs are gone again.

Wondering if you haven't been bitten by the new "feature" of iOS 5, as was my son. turingtest2 explained it very well in reply to my own query about "missing" songs in playlists.
Here's that thread...

I just deleted an email account on my iPhone 5s and all my notes just disappeared when I went to access them. Is there a reason why my notes would just disappear? I don't recall linking my notes to the email account I deleted.

I just deleted an email account on my iPhone 5s and all my notes just disappeared when I went to access them. Is there a reason why my notes would just disappear? I don't recall linking my notes to the email account I deleted.

I've wondered about this issue as well. I have multiple email accounts, some old ones that I don't use much, others setup for support of particular projects/groups.
I have no idea how and/or why some notes are linked to a particular account.
I'd much prefer to have the ability to link all of them to an account of my choosing, thus when emailing from a note tied to a specific email account, that account would automatically be used to perform that email.
But more importantly, why can't we be allowed to create 'folders' that function the same way as the Finder on my Mac. This file structure could then be accessed by every iOS app and device.
This type of file structure would be a god-send for the camera roll on my phone. I HATE having all my pictures in one huge clump (cloud?)! After all, who wants to live under a cloud all the time?

I have downloaded IOS7 on my iPhone and all calendar events have disappeared. The general functions of the calendar have changed and are definitely not 'user friendly'. How can I retrieve my calendar events. Will Apple improve the calendar function

I have downloaded IOS7 on my iPhone and all calendar events have disappeared. The general functions of the calendar have changed and are definitely not 'user friendly'. How can I retrieve my calendar events. Will Apple improve the calendar function or revert to the previous system. Even the typing function on IOS 7 is faulty - very slow to respond to the keyboard. I no longer enjoy using my iPhone. Can anyone assist. Thank you

Very strange! All of my calendar events have reappeared. This has happened one week after downloading iOS 7
The calendar however, is not easy to use.
The typing function on the phone has become even slower. Have to wait for each letter to show on screen.

You can use a free alternative like openoffice for this:

TS1702 I updated to iOS6 and the Passbook shows as an icon on the phone, but not in the list of applications. Is this a useless app at this point? And, the maps - not nearly as nice as Google. (Sheesh, did I just say that?)

I updated from iOS 5.1 to iOS 6. The Passbook App appears as an app, but not in the list that appears to the left. It won't open, and it won't let me access iTunes Store from this App. Suggestions?
The maps are AWFUL. I cannot believe I am saying this, but I prefer GOOGLE maps.

What list? Where is this "left"?

I have the same issue now after downgrading my Flash plugin. I downgraded from 10 to 9 latest because I like using Camino and for some reason Flash 10 doesn't play nice with Camino. But all of a sudden as I use Camino 2b2 for everyday and Safari 3.2 for banking and such, the browser hangs requiring a forced quit when I close it. I've re-installed the browser twice now with all the previous folders, and preferences erased and caches emptied. I even when to re-installing 10.5.6 and it still crashes, it's odd. Maybe 10.5.7 will address this.

Is there a way to change the view in genre so that artists are visible, not just songs?

I would like to view my music by artist within the genres, but the only display I can see is a long list of songs. Is there a way to switch this? I can get an artist view on my iPhone, but not on my iPad.

Well if you want a "single signon" experience, the Workstation will need to de join to the domain :-) otherwise it will prompt for the Username and password for authentificaiton.
You can then check the save password box.
For remote user that are NOT on the domain, same behavior, you will be prompted to enter Username/Password.

Bring back copying and pasting of SONG and ARTIST info (not just links)

Guys, I used to be able to copy and paste song and artist info into a Google document so I could have a record of my favourite tracks. I'm not talking about copying and pasting actual links within Spotify; rather just the absolute basics. If still not following, I would, for example copy a track from my Spotify playlist as such: Megadeth - Hanger 18 After which I would paste into a Google document and get this: Megadeth - Hanger 18 I've always found the ability to do this very handy. Any chance we can have this back, Spotify? And while we're at it, can we be able to hover over the Spotify icon in the Windows system tray and have currently playing track info displayed? Cheers.

Select the text in both cases, and look at the Character Style applied. My guess is that the grey text has the Hyperlink Character style, and it has been manually overridden to get to grey and not underlined. When the text is copied and pasted, the Style is re-asserting itself. Remove the Style from the grey text (or use Redefine Style to change it to match your formatting preferences).

My app store application on my iPhone 4S is not accepting my password for one of my Apple ids. I have a feeling it is because the ID isn't correct, it should be my email address and it is not just 1st portion.

My app store application on my IPhone 4S is not accepting my Apple ID and password. The ID comes up, but I don't think it is totally correct as it doesn't have the complete email address which is actually my ID. I know the password is correct because I just changed it even though I knew what my last one was, I changed to be extra sure. I am not sure how to change the ID in the App Store application.

To change the ID:
Settings > Store > Apple ID. Sign Out of the old and in with the new.

My entire screen display on the creative cloud programs are blurry (not just the picture, everything) help?

I'm on a Mac book Pro I've recently purchased, and I've just purchased and downloaded the creating cloud suite CS6 and I'm horrified to discover that the entire screen display on each of the programs in blurry! the text around the edges are hard to read and of course that means when I bring a picture in or put up some text its all blurry too, its impossible to work. Please help I'm a student and can't afford this.

In CS6 only Photoshop and Illustrator have Retina support after installing the respective updates. Otherwise you have to live with it.

I moved files and lost content, not just links-HELP?

I have an indesign book and chapter files. I have been backing up (I thought) by copying the folder that contains all of these (chapters and book). When I moved the backup folders of old versions of the book, then tryied to open my current version, I have only text boxes. No placed images, no links to missing images.
HELP?

The .indb file is a collection of pointers to the individual documents, and any copies you make continue to point to the original locations, and those files continue to point to the original links. If you want to make a backup, use the Package command to make copies of everything and change the link and pointer locations.

I have an error 42404 message. I have uninstalled Itunes,quick time, etc, etc. I then checked to make sure that all files had been deleted. I have 2 files that haven't been deleted and are still not. It will not allow me to delete them access denied.

I received an error 42404 message. I have uninstalled itunes, quick time, etc, etc. I then went to check that all the files had been deleted, however,
Program files\common files\Apple - will not delete - it says folder access denied
program files (x86)\common files\Apple - will note delete - it says require permission from SYSTEM to make changes to this folder.
How can I delete these 2 files so that I can reinstal Itunes?

You can uninstall the relevant extensions from Tools>Addons to remove those toolbars. Also there may be some unwanted plugins which you may want to disable. This should solve your problems.
If you still want a clean profile, uninstall firefox with the "Remove my Firefox personal data and customizations" checkbox enabled. Alternatively you may remove your firefox profile folder which (on Window7) is stored in C:\Users\<your-username>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles folder with a randomly name. You may delete this folder before installing a new version to get a clean profile.
