This may be a basic question... but in InDesign, how does one determine the pixel size of a text box? Specifically, we need to write text to specifications of 600 pixel width, and have no idea a) how to scale a text box to specific pixel width, b) how to determine what word count we can fit in, and c) how to do it in a table? Thanks!

Set your ruler increments to pixels Preferences>Units & Increments. You can fill the text box with placeholder text Type>Fill with Placeholder text and get a word count from the Info panel with Show Options turned on from the flyout.
From the Transform panel you can set a text box's width and height

  • How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the Bookmarks Library?

    How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the '''Bookmarks''' Library?
    Since the upgrade to version 9.0.1 of Firefox, the Bookmarks feature changes are confusing me. They seem to be confusing themselves as well. The list of bookmarks has changed. The font size is so small that my aging eyes cannot read it without fogging the screen with my breath. Some folders are out of alphabetical order (where I know they were previously good), and some are missing altogether (folders to which I frequently add references).
    As for missing or deranged files or folders, was there something that I should have done or now need to do to recover those after the upgrade (or before)?
    With regard to font size,
    1. there is no “Edit Bookmarks” or like option to edit the list in this version
    2. the “zoom” option in the “view” list of functions is greyed out when in “Show All Bookmarks” window
    3. expanding the browser window has no effect on font size
    4. “Preferences” settings for font size has no effect in that window either, including advanced settings
    5. “Help” offers none that I can find.
    Can any of you Help?!?

    Maybe this extension helps:

  • How does one determine the amperage in macbook pro 5,4

    I need to replace the battery for my MBP 5,4 and have tried about 4 or 5 by now and none of them are holding a decent charge by which I mean more than an hour or so.  I've tried to educate myself on the meanings of amperage, mAh, watt hours, etc, etc, to determine what I need to look for in a compatible battery that may mean it'll last longer but I'm lost in the technicalities of the electronics field.  Any guidance out there??

    Yes, battery manufacturers are very imaginative with their specs (or what they leave out of the specs), you need 60 watts to run your Mac, extra is wasted. What the spec omits is how long the battery can supply it for.
    Buy a genuine Apple one.
    You get what you pay for, no more. (especially with expensive batteries)
    But I do have one more query, does your Mac run hot?

  • In Photo 1.0, how does one access the map showing where all photos were taken, as could be done previously in iPhoto?

    In Photo 1.0, how does one access the map showing where all photos were taken, as could be done previously in iPhoto?

    Hi JohnDory,
    The information side-bar from iPhoto has been removed in Photos App, and so it's been converted into a pop-up window showing both the exposure, aperture and so technical photo parameters, as well as the comments, faces and LOCATION for that photo.
    This small floating window is shown whenever you click the button in the app title bar, right clicking a specific photo or pressing ⌘i
    If you open the albums view (clicking in the name of the album list, NOT an album name, you can see in your left sidebar - which can be shown or hidden) and press ⌘i without selecting a specific photo the Info pop-up will show the map for your whole library (as well as the total amount of photos, videos, GB used, etc)
    So, I'm afraid the "Locations" view (which I really loved) from iPhoto has been ripped off... and we can only get "some sort of locations view" by this method.
    As for locations... there is no option for manual geotagging (so, setting location to a specific photography which doesn't have it yet)... that really ****** me off 
    Regards,

  • How does one increase the y-axis (amplitude) of the audio tracks?

    How does one increase the y-axis (amplitude) of the audio tracks? My patient appears to have flatlined. I don't want to increase the gain, just the way the waveform looks on my monitor.

    DrDtMM
    The "Expert view" is a part of the new interface of Premiere Elements 11. In your version 10, you have the Timeline and the Sceneline view choices.
    For now, I will assume that you are in the Timeline view where you utilize video and audio tracks and not a Filmstrip with scene slots.
    I suspect that you may be after the following. Let us see.
    To the right of where it shows the name "Audio 1" is a microphone icon. That represents the "Audio Display Style". There are two Audio Display Styles and you can select one or the other by toggling that microphone icon.
    a. In one instance, you will see the wave form plus a horizontal orange line which is typically the Volume Rubberband for Volume adjust. This Display Style has a light green background.
    and
    b. In the other case, you will see a dark horizontal line, no wave form. That dark line is on a light green background.
    I suspect you are at "b". Are you aware that "a" exists.
    If you want a really blown up version of "a" to look at, you could separate the audio from the video, double click the audio to open the Preview Windows, and then scale up the Preview Window.
    We will be watching for your follow up to see if we are getting in sync.
    Thanks.

    How does one get the Satellite to work in google maps ?

    I am experiencing exactly the same issue - iMac, 10.6.8.  Thanks for reporting it - I thought I was going nuts.  What happens from here?  Does Apple watch these postings?  Do we just hope that they find the bug themselves?  Is there a vehicle for reporting bugs directly to Apple?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Premier After Effects... How does one places the whole movie clip into AF?

    After years of using Premiere, I’m looking at using After Effects. Premiere does most of what I need (I don’t need moving graphics and titles) but the masking and rotoscoping seems to be better in After Effects. I’ve started a great video by Tom Green at school. This is probably silly question- I don’t understand is how does one places the whole movie clip into AF? I only see 30 seconds or so of the 5 minute clip on the timeline in AF.

    Ahh, thanks. I simply add more minutes (the length of the clip) into the "new composition".
    A new problem: When I try a dynamic link with premiere AE says “Failed to connect to adobe Premiere Pro Dynamic Link”, but PP will link with AE. I just installed AF last week. Do I need to uninstall and reinstall them (along with the rest of the Creative Suite)?

  • How does one keep the photo description attached to a photo in iphoto when that photo copies to a disc or flash drive

    how does one keep the photo description attached to a photo in iphoto when that photo copies to a disc or flash drive?
    the metadata transfers ok, it is the description of that photo that does not transfer.

    Use the File -> Export command and note the settings to write the metadata to the file on export.

    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.

    Johnnyontherocks it is likely you installed an updated version of the Adobe Application Manager.  Remove all copies of Adobe Creative software from the computer and reinstall to downgrade the installation.

  • How does one unlock the screen rotation?

    How does one unlock the screen rotation?

    If there is a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator then depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (rotation lock or mute notifications), then you can lock/unlock the rotation by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
    If there isn't a lock symbol then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • How does one sync the new time capsule with the old airport extreme and airport express in order to extend range?

    How does one sync the new time capsule with the old airport extreme and airport express in order to extend range?

    Thanks for the additional information.
    Unfortunately, the AirPort Utility application in the Lion and Mountain Lion operating systems, which is used to configure the new Time Capsule does not support the older versions of the products that you have.
    Even if it did, there are no settings on the older AirPorts to "Extend a wireless network", so they are not compatible with the new Time Capsule if you intend to extend the network only using wireless connections.
    If you have the ability to connect each AirPort to the Time Capsule using a permanent wired Ethernet cable connection, it might be possible to use a complicated workaround to install an older version of AirPort Utility to configure the older AirPorts to work with the new Time Capsule.
    If you have another Mac there that is using the Leopard or Snow Leoapard operating system, things would likely be simpler. I have not done this type of procedure to mix a new Time Capsule with older AirPorts, so I would not be able to say whether this would work or not.
