Is anyone else making svg cut files with Illustrator?

I am hoping to learn more about using Illustrator to make svg cut files. I have a cutting machine (Silhouette SD) and have been making cut files with Illustrator to use with it. I hope to, at some point, sell my files so they have to be perfect. I have run into some problems however. My paths are being read as outlines and giving me an unwanted double cut. I went on line to see if anyone else has been having this problem as well and to my surprise I found that many people are using other software packages (MTC, SCAL and Inkscape) instead. So here are my questions...
1. Is Illustrator the best software for making SVG cut files and why either way?
2. Is there a place where I can learn more about making SVG cut files with Illustrator?
Thank you in advance for any input on this topic.

Also experiencing hang on quit. For me, it follows a bug where the main viewer pane quits working (which happens occasionally when I have the gall to try to play something before it's done rendering.) Main viewer pane won't update--just shows a video frozen video frame, won't even preview items in the event browser pane. Everything else appears to be working until I play, and when the playhead gets to the unrendered segment, FCP hangs--I assume it's the same hang that happens if I try to quit instead of playing, though that's a pure guess.

This problem appears after opening 4 a 5 files, rebooting helps another 4 a 5 times and appears again.

I'd recommend reposting in the Boot Camp forum, that is where the Boot Camp and Windows gurus hang out.
Good luck.

Can't open .wmf files with Illustrator

I'm using Creative Suite CS2 on a PC/Windows XP operating system.
I'm suddenly unable to launch Illustrator when I try to open a .wmf file from within Windows Explorer. Instead, I get an error message that the file itself is not a valid program (DUH!).
I also cannot open them with the "Edit Original" command in InDesign.
I have tried changing the "Opens With Program..." option in the file properties from within Windows Explorer over and over.
Oddly, I can always open .wmf files with Illustrator from within Adobe Bridge, simply by double-clicking the file. And of course, I can open them from within Illustrator by simply going to "open file".
But I really want to be able to use the "Edit Original" feature in InDesign to launch and open .wmf files in Illustrator.
Anybody know what's going on? Is this a Windows problem, an Illustrator problem or an InDesign problem? And how do I fix it?
Thanks so much for any suggestions.

I'm sorry you're having this problem with Illustrator. Would you mind reposting over on the Illustrator forums? You've posted in the AIR forum and I think you'll have better luck over there.
Thanks,
Chris

Is there anyone else having a major probblem with excessive data usage with the iPhone 5??

My wife and I are on a shared 4GB data plan, she has the Galaxy Note 2 and I have the iPhone 5, she's on her phone way more than I am, but I am using waaay more data than she is, double to be exact. She sends pictures all the time and all of that, I do not, but yet I am still using more data. I have cut off everything from using my cellular data except, facebook, twitter, instagram, and Onavo Count, I have deleted iClouds from my phone, my location is turned off, but yet I am still using a lot of data.. I was wondering, is this issue because of Verizon, or is it because of the iPhone 5? My boss has a iPhone 5 through AT&T and she's not using as much data as I am either and I am pretty sure she's on her phone more than I am as well and do not have half of everything I got not using cellular data cut off.. I been with Verizon since Feb. 2012 and I have always had this problem with data while my wife is using barely 1G a month, I am using almost 2G every month. I am not complaining, I just want to know if anyone else is experiencing the same thing and if so what kind of solutions have you found? Thanks in advance! I hope I hear from someone... preferably a Verizon representative.

Thank you for your response. I do not stream music or videos, I do not
FaceTime, my apps are not automatically updating when using wifi, I
manually update them so they do not use cellular date either. Yes I have
been able to view my data sessions, and honestly its not adding up. This
morning it said my phone used over 90,000 kilobytes and I do not know how.
I am positive my wife uses her phone more than I do but yet I am using more
data.. I've been to the Verizon store and they have not be able to help me
at all, I really like the coverage I get from Verizon but my confusion on
why my phone is using so much data may cause me to switch providers and I
really do not want to, I just really want to get to the bottom of this
situation. I can't even enjoy my phone because I have cut mainly everything
off. Location is cut off, I've deleted iTunes off my phone, I got mainly
all my applications to only be accessed through wife for when I get home. I
cut off my cellular data as soon as I get home because I am under wife when
I am home. My wife do not have to do anything of what I've just mentioned
but yet I am still using more data than she. Is my phone defected,
something has to be wrong here. Please I will really appreciate it if you
or anyone can help me figure what is going on. Please, thank you!

Is anyone else having big problems synching with iTunes 11.1.3.8

Hi is anyone else getting the same problems that I get with iTunes 11.1.3.8?
iTunes is VERY slow to load. Then when I try to dowload updates it downloads the first update, then hangs saying "Processing File" It will stay like this until I restart the computer. Sometimes I get the Error Message: Err 3253.
If I try to close iTunes and then reopen it, it WILL NOT OPEN!
I have tried repairing itunes through the Control Panel.
And I have tried deleting and the reinstalling it.
Any help, advice etc gratefully accepted.
Merry Christmas to all.

Met,
Here's a few temporary work-arounds that may work for you, hopefully you don't have a HUGE amount of apps on your iTunes that need updating.
1.) Update all of the apps via your iPhone/iPad and then sync your device with your iTunes, that will update all the apps that you're unable to update via download on iTunes.
2.) If the apps aren't on your iPhone/iPad and you've got the room, redownload them to your iPhone/iPad and sync your device. That will update the apps you're unable to update via iTunes, you can delete them off your phone/pad when you're done updating them on your computer.
3.) Instead of "updating" the apps via the update section of iTunes, make note of what the app is, check that it's still available for download on the store (sometimes stuff gets pulled and you don't want to do this before you check) - once you've confirmed that the app is still available for download, instead of downloading it in the update section DELETE it (remove it entirely from your iTunes and send it to recycle) then RE-DOWNLOAD it fresh from the store, I've found that it's only the update section that hangs on processing, not the store section.
Hope those help, that's what I did because I'm compulsive about keeping my apps and software up to date.

Does anyone else get poor Virtualbox performance with Kernel26-ck?

I don't know if it's BFS itself or one of my customized options specifically, but if I try to play Netflix inside my Windows XP virtual machine it is terrible and my CPU load is quite high.
If I boot into the stock Arch kernel I do not have this problem. Anyone else experience this?

So it seems like it's just me and my config.
uname -r is different, and I have compiled the kernel modules for it.
It is only in the last few weeks/month that the performance issue is there.
Sometimes, when I run the VM, it'll drop me to TTY1 which a bunch of magic output, but it's not a kernel panic. I can switch back to my graphical TTY and everything is fine except the VM is just a black window and has to be forced to close via my WM.
I'm not sure what kernel config options would do something like this. I have my timer frequency at 1000Hz, which is the main thing I've seen on the Google that can cause problems.
I am on a Core i3 processor with intel graphics.
If I post my kernel config, do you think you'd be able to spot anything that would mess up Virtualbox in this subtle way?
Any ideas? I'm guessing I'm probably on my own.

Anyone else get a NX6800 TD128 with GDDR3?

I did. When I got it back from Rma, I didnt notice the box, i paid more attention to puttin it back in my system so I could be playin again. Last night I noticed it said "128mb DDR3" on the box. So today, I found a program to determine specifications and sure enough, I've got GDDR3 memory. I guess that explains why I can get it up to 350/950. Just curious, did anyone else get GDDR3 on there 6800nu?

that´s the gift from MSI,everyone who have problem with this card,just send it to RMA headquarters and they give you DDR3.but also you can´t say everyone you get it.it´s secret.they wanna you as a potencial customer again and that is the reason.but as i now you must pay a shipment to them,but it´s still less money than the 6800 GT or ULTRA costs,and with DDR3 you can have it from this card.......very good.....i wanna problemous 6800non-u

Is anyone else having charging connection issues with their generation 4 ipad?

My generation 4 ipad is having charging connections. When I plug it in to charge with the charger that came with it, the part that connects right to the actual ipad is not always connecting. Sometime I have to wiggle it around or angle it until I hear the sound of connection and can see on the screen that it is actually charging. Sometimes I will charge it and when I leave it is in charge mode but when I come back to check on it, it never charged at all. Is anyone else having this problem or know what might be wrong? I would think a brand new ipad wouldn't have a charging problem right out of the box.

Hi gruhland,
Thanks for your reply. It sounds like your device is actually in a restart loop, which is different from the process of a soft reset. Specifically, what I wanted you to try is this:
Resetting your device
If your device stops responding, you can reset it by pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If resetting does not break the restart loop, it sounds like a different direction may be warranted here. Due to the nature of your issue you may find more assistance by using another one of Apple's support resources:

Take care,

Has anyone else honestly had GOOD luck with the Kin TwoM?

I recently purchased a Refurb Kin TwoM off ebay...I havent yet activated it but I did want to pass this along to others (as I was curious about) that I WAS able to take my old Samsung Intensity to a VZW Store and they transferred all my contacts within about 5 minutes! I wanted to make sure that would work first before anything! Also, I tested out the wifi @ home and Mcdonalds and it connected just fine!..its like a Wifi-Enable Mp3 player right now and it only cost me $40, so hopefully once i fully activate it the actual PHONE will work! There are a few quirks Ive noticed like others have pointed out..such as the screen lock doesnt actually lock the volume controls on the side....and the browser is awesome for a basic phone but isnt quite as smooth or 'fluid' for webpages like our Ipod Touch is...(but you really shouldnt compare it to any smart' devices that like) Im not sure if its true for all Kin's but I havent been able to play videos offline like Youtube? anyone else have this issue? I also wish with there were some simple Apps like FB / Twitter/ Maps available but I suppose I cant expect too much!

I know I'm tempting fate by posting this, but yes, I've been quite happy with my KIN TWOm.
I got mine originally in June, 2011. A couple of weeks later, it dropped from the holster on a dirt path and must have hit a pebble or something, because a small section of the screen stopped working. VZW sent me a "Certified" replacement (cost me $99 because of the apparent physical damage), and it has been performing fine for the past 13 months.
Sure, there are some software quirks (It's Microsoft, remember?) but the benefits clearly outweigh those. Probably the thing I miss most is the lack of any voice recording/command function. But I love that it has WiFi, and the nice camera and 8GB memory let me take over 400 pictures when my normal camera was stolen on the second day of a trip to Europe. The Zune music player is nice as well, and the e-mail client, while limited in function, is much nicer than the one on my previous phone.
As for the actual phone functions, I text more than I talk, and the physical keyboard is very nice for that. As for voice calls, I do that pretty seldom, but have not had any problem with dropped calls, volume, etc.
OK, the big elephant in the room is the "black screen" that seems to affect so many people. It's happened to me a few times as well. I think my background as a computer guy has helped me deal with this. When this has happened to me, it's always been when the device was "sleeping", and just didn't want to wake up. Like maybe it wasn't recognizing the interrupt from the "back" button. In those cases, I've found that holding the button down a little longer, opening the keyboard, or briefly pressing the power button will get its attention. Or sometimes I just need to let the device rest for a minute or two and it manages to untie itself. There have just been a very few times when I've had to do a cold boot (remove/replace the battery).
You also need to be careful as to how you put the device in your pocket or belt holster. Make sure that you don't position it in a way that the power button can be accidentally pressed when you sit down. There have been a few times when I take the phone out of my pocket and the little power off confirmation box is displayed. If that happens, be careful not to touch "OK" -- unless you want to power off.
Anyway, maybe mine is living on borrowed time, but overall I've been very happy with it so far.
I know there are others who have not had such a good experience, but this thread asked for people who were happy with their KINs, and I am.

Anyone else having trouble playing podcasts with iOS 5?

Whenever I download a podcast from the iPad iTunes app, it shows in the music app, but will not play it. Anyone else have this problem, and figured out how to fix it?

I have always had this problem on my iPad 1. The only way to fix it is to download podcasts on iTunes, then sync them to the iPad. Not elegant, but it works.

Yes, a simple search of the forums would have revealed that some users are experiencing issues. Apple has acknowledged that a small percentage of users are experiencing problems and have announced they are working on a fix.
Personally I have not experienced issues.

Anyone tried using a QText file with FCP?

I was just wondering if there is some way to utilize a QText file for captioning with FCP, either directly of by importing it into QTPro, then exporting it in a form that FCP understands? The idea is to use these as timed text overlays.

QText is a bit more, at least to my limited understanding. Let's say you have a QText file with 10 lines of text you want to display. In the header you can specify color, size, etc. Before each line of text you enter a time code which represents the start time for displaying that line. For example:
[00:00:00]
This is my first line and displays for 4 seconds
[00:00:04]
This line is displayed 4 seconds after the first, and displays for 6 seconds
[00:00:10]
and this line is 6 seconds after the one above (i.e. 10 seconds in).
and so on. One way to look at it, each line of text becomes a slide which displays until the next line is called.
When fed to QTime, you get a very nice vector graphics display of each line at the specified time. It would be great if I could export that as a video file which I then could use in an overlay track in FCP. QTPro offers several export options including such as MP4, m4v, etc. Dragging these files into FCP either generates a Codec error when rendered or isn't recognized at all. I guess I could use a video screen capture program and capture the QTP display, but that seems like a crude and slow process. I had hoped, since FCP and QTP are both Apple products they would have found some way to integrate them. No mention of QText in the FCP help file, so it would appear no such luck.
