Is a spill the end?

Hi there,
I managed to spill water all over my boyfriend's Powerbook G4 and am trying desperately to figure out a way to fix it. The trackpad has stopped working and the battery is completely dead, but so far everything else seems okay. Is it possible to fix/replace these things, or is a new computer the only answer? (Money-wise, any suggestions for repair/replacement would be greatly appreciated.)
Also, I'm not 100% sure it's an aluminum Powerbook, but I figure the problem is fairly universal.

Hi, Sarah. Adding to BGreg's good advice:
1) Remove the battery and disconnect the AC adapter.
2) If you use a hair dryer, use it with the heat turned off. A hair dryer can generate enough heat to cook small electronic components and melt plastic. You want to dry the Powerbook with room-temperature air. A portable household fan is often easier to work with and aim usefully than a hair dryer.
3) If the Powerbook is still fully assembled, it will take several days to dry completely, even if you prop it up on edge in front of a fan. That's what I would do, and I'd give it a minimum of four days before trying to start it again.
4) If the Powerbook has most of its ports along its back edge, below the screen, it's Titanium, not Aluminum. The Titanium PBs have the advantage of an easily removable keyboard, and removing it opens the interior of the machine to much better air circulation. If it's a Ti PB, remove the keyboard before propping it up on edge to dry. Instructions for doing so are here. (Keyboard removal is the same for all Ti models.)

Okay to convert to profile only at the end when generating PDF?

My final color profile has to be iso coated v2 for Europe. This means that most if not all of my placed images have to be converted either from RGB or SWOP CMYK. I've been reading about this issue in this forum but am not sure I got it right.
As I understand it, it's perfectly okay to let InDesign do the conversion at the end when I'm generating the final PDF (Convert to Destination). I used to go through the laborious process of converting each image from rgb or other cmyk to the iso coated cmyk. Then select Convert to Destination again in the pdf process.
Is there a difference -- other than tons of additional work -- b/w doing it one way or another? To be sure, I also want to maintain the original color tones as much as possible in the process.
I'd be grateful if someone could confirm this for me. I'm about to send a huge job off to the printers.
Many thanks,
Scarlett

The default option seems to be: Use color settings intent. I have no idea what this means. The other options are: perceptual, sauration, relative colometric, absolute colometric.
I usually use the Relative Colometric in Photoshop, as recommended by the press we use in Europe. Would it be safe to select this option for the 3 settings above?
If you leave it at the default, the rendering intent you have currently set under Color Settings>Conversion Options will be used.
The rendering intent handles how colors that are out of the CMYK gamut are brought into gamut. It's like trying to put 1.5 gallons of water into a 1 gallon bucket something has to spill—the intent is your preference as to what spills. Search for rendering intent in IDs help for an explanation of the 4 intents.
I doubt the intents really come into play when you are converting CMYK to CMYK—not much would be out-of gamut. I would leave everything at Relative.

It is not possible to create a new iCloud account using a Windows machine. You must create the account using a Mac (10.7.5 or more) or an IOS device (iPhone etc). Once that is done you can sign into and use the account on your Windows machine.

At the end of my IMovie I want to write some text: as in" Happy Birthday Mandy we had a great time with you. etc.. How do I go about this? Which icon in IMovie lets me have a place to write text?? help please

Please see my ? above: Im making an IMovie and need the last frame to just be text (can be on a color). I don't know how to go about doing this. Ive already done all my photos and captions. Need to have it ready for TOMORROW: Friday May 23rd. Help please!

You can choose a background for the text from Maps and Backgrounds. Just drag a background to the end of the timeline, adjust to desired duration then drag title above it.

How do I add a widget to give a review or star rating for a book at the end of a book in iBooks Author?

How do I add a widget to give a review or star rating for a book at the end of a book in iBooks Author? You know, how you buy books on iBooks and when you're finished reading it, there's a place where you can give a rating or review right there on the very last page?

Just supply a link that says 'Review This Book' - use http://itunes.apple.com/linkmaker/ to generate one.

How to add a sub report at the end of the main report whilst grouped

Hi!
I have a main report that is grouped by the Customers name and then details of transactions they did with the company.
I need to add a letter at the end of each group for each customer (With their name displayed in the letter). I tried adding a sub report in the report footer, but it only appears once at the end of the report, rather than at the end of each group for each customer.
How can I achieve the desired result?
Regards
Vik

Vik,
You are on the right track with the sub-report.
1. Create your letter in a separate report.
2. Add the Letter Report to your original report as a sub report in the group footer.
3. Set the report links on the "Group By" field.
This will give you a letter record for each report record with the same grouping as the main report.
Hope this helps,
Jason

Is it possible to export to PDF without a Return character at the end of every line?

I am the author of a book whose first edition has been typeset and extensively amended in InDesign. I now need to rewrite the first edition to produce a second edition.
When I copy-and-paste from the PDF with which the publisher has supplied me into MS Word, I get a Return character at the end of every line, which means that text doesn’t automatically wrap and sentences are fragmented so that I get spurious grammar errors.
I know that not all PDF files have a Return at the end of every line. Is it possible to restrict Returns to the end of paragraphs when exporting from InDesign to PDF? If so, what should the publisher be asking the typesetter to do?

Thanks for your lightning-swift and helpful replies, Mike & Ellis.
I don't have InDesign myself, so I know hardly anything about how it's used. I'm just trying to research what an internationally-known publisher should already know how to do, but apparently doesn't!
Following your suggestion, Mike, I have downloaded the trial version of Acrobat and exported the PDF to a Word file. This has been moderately successful as there are far fewer spurious Return characters, just a few that I suspect may be hangovers from the typesetter having introduced soft returns in ID.
As you've suggested Peter and Ellis, I'll suggest that the publisher asks the typesettter to export from ID to RTF and Text to see if that's even better.

Media Encoder CC 14 renders with black frame at the end

Hello,
my Media Encoder running on Mac Yosemite makes a black frame at the end of h264 clips...
How can i fix this?
Thanks

I just figured out - it might be a quicktime viewer problem...

I have the adobe cloud 9.99/ month photography package i downloaded lightroom 5.4, it told me it was a trial version, and i'm now at the end of the trial and it won't let me download the full version and i don't have a serial number

i have the adobe cloud 9.99/ month photography package i downloaded lightroom 5.4, it told me it was a trial version, and i'm now at the end of the trial and it won't let me download the full version and i don't have a serial number. also, when i click buy, i get an error message saying, "application not found."

There are two different LR’s, one with a serial-number licensing and one with a CC-signin license.
You should uninstall the serial-number LR you have installed, then
Quit the CC Desktop application,
Restart the CC Desktop application—this will rescan what you have installed and not see LR,
LR will now be on the CC Desktiop apps list, so install that.

I have an Iad2 and ever since ios6-there are issues.I get occasional lock-ups and have to reboot. The WSJ app freezes when running their videos to the end. The only work-around is to stop the video before it's over. Worse than windows me !!!!!

My Ipad2 worked perfectly before ios6 upgrade. It now freezes occasionally and I have to reboot to get it to work. Also the WSJ app will now freeze if I try and run one of their videos that is imbedded in the article. My only work-around is to stop (press done) before the end of the video or I have to do a total reboot. The problems remind me of Windows ME . Will Apple resolve these issues or become more like Microsoft. Hopefully there will be a restore button in the future like Microsoft was forced to do because a lot of upgrades are just terrible. Am I crazy or are there other people having the same issues with ios6, or could this just be a coincidence and my ipad2 is starting to fail just when ios6 arrives ?

I know this will not help but, the bluetooth headset I purchased for my wife works great and it pairs with our car and our sound bar in the livingroom (Motorola Droid Razr) 98.72.16.XT912.Verizon.en.US
However I did not upgrade over the air but from a android web site and placed it on my external sd card. I believe this made the difference in why we had no issues and upgraded functionality has been great.
Please note when I mention these bluetooth devices I mean the Razr connects with no problems.
It also had no internet issues and none of the problems others have complained about in other threads.
unfortunately when you say thousands have these issues I cannot say that is accurate. The hope is when large numbers of owners have updated to the Jelly Bean and are complaining inmase then Motorola will issue a patch to verizon to get out to the affected users.
Of course now that Google owns Motorola Mobility and has laid off loads of workers it may never issue an os patch.

I suddenly have two flashing lights on my keyboard by the caps lock key and over the end/pg up key.

I encountered a problem waking my laptop (Pavilion dv7-1270us) this morning. At first it would not wake up and had to do a hard reboot. Now I have two flashing lights on the keyboard -the caps lock light and the one over the end/pg up keys over the number pad. I have run several diagnostics and cannot find an answer as to what this is.

Row getting added in the end of the scroll

Hi -
I am using a scroll area on a page on level 1. The issue iam encountering is that when ever i click the plus sign to add a second or third row (assume one record already exists in scroll 1) , the row gets added in the end of the scroll and also the fields are blank. However as delievered the new row should get added on the top of the scroll meaning 1 of 2 not 2 of 2, and also it should carry forward the values from the prior row. Please any suggestion or help is greatly appreciated.

I figured it out. The reason it was happening was because, my scroll record had another key field after EFFDT and EFFSEQ, due to which the delivered copy forward logic for new rows in scroll did not work and the row was getting added in the end or after the first blank row always.

How to find a line/edge that starts at the same point as the end of another

I have an edges table of Lat/Lon data and for a specific edge I want to find any other edges that have the same start point as the end point of the given edge.
I tried the following query:
select geo_street_id from geo_street s2
where SDO_LRS.GEOM_SEGMENT_START_PT(s2.geom) =
(select SDO_LRS.GEOM_SEGMENT_END_PT(s.geom) as geom from geo_street s
where geo_street_id = 122978214)
but it gets the following error:
ORA-22901: cannot compare nested table or VARRAY or LOB attributes of an object type
Any Ideas?

1. to compare geometry to be equal you should use appropriate function (SDO_GEOM.RELATE http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B14255_01/sdo_objgeom.htm#sthref1561) or operators (sdo_relate http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B14255_01/sdo_operat.htm#i78531) with specific mask EQUAL.
2. to filter down the resultset in first place you can use the operator SDO_RELATE with mask TOUCH as this will return already the set of lines sharing endpoints, but will also include lines touching eachother not at endpoints (endpoint intersecting the otherone's interior)
something like
select geo_street_id from geo_street s2, geo_street s
where
s.geo_street_id = 122978214
AND
sdo_relate(s2.geom, s.geom,'mask=touch') = 'TRUE'
AND
sdo_geom.relate(SDO_LRS.GEOM_SEGMENT_START_PT(s2.geom),
'EQUAL',
SDO_LRS.GEOM_SEGMENT_END_PT(s.geom),0.005)='EQUAL'
3. if you would do this for the full table, an SDO_JOIN (http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B14255_01/sdo_operat.htm#BGEDJIBF) might be more appropriate.
4. you might also consider 4 cases:
start = start
start = end
end = start
end = end
5. alternative would be to take only the endpoints of your selected geometry and perform a touch with the edges. using the sdo_util.APPEND on the startpoint en endpoint of your geometry will return a multipoint. although there might some specific cases that this would not return respected result I think
something like:
select geo_street_id from geo_street s2, geo_street s
where
s.geo_street_id = 122978214
AND
sdo_relate(s2.geom,
SDO_UTIL.APPEND(
SDO_LRS.GEOM_SEGMENT_START_PT(s.geom),
SDO_LRS.GEOM_SEGMENT_END_PT(s.geom)
,'mask=touch') = 'TRUE'
Let us know how it works.

ID CS3 - text wrap doesn't work at the end of a long multi-columned text frame

Did a search - don't think this specific issue has been addressed:
We design large graphics often used on walls. When working with a text frame that that was 11 feet long and had 8 columns, text wrap would not work on an image placed in the last column. The same image with the same text wrap applied will work fine anywhere else in the text frame. I found that if I shortened the width of the text frame a little bit at a time eventually it would work, but there doesn't seem to be a specific cut-off width - sometimes the last column won't text wrap when the frame is 115 inches wide and sometimes it doesn't work when the frame is only 80 inches wide. Again, all of the other columns work fine. I have tried all of the obvious stuff, the only variable between the columns that wrap and the one that doesn't is it's position at the end of the text frame.
We have gotten around this issue by using multiple threaded frames instead of one long frame with multiple columns, but I am curious if anyone else has run into this or might know what the issue is.
thanks
